My Sister Life and The Zhivago Poems
By Boris Pasternak
Northwestern University PressISBN: 978-0-8101-2797-5
Chapter OneIN MEMORY OF THE DEMON
He appeared in the nights,
In a glacier's blue light from Tamára.
With his wings he defined
The dominion of nightmare and horror.
Didn't weep or enwrap
Naked arms that were scarred and tormented.
Still the grave lay intact
By the fence of the Gruzian temple.
Like a hunchback grotesque,
At the grating the shape never grimaced.
And the flute by the lamp,
Though it sighed, never spoke of the Princess.
An inferno then swept
Through his hair and, like phosphor, it sparkled.
The colossus stood deaf
To the Caucasus graying for sorrow.
At a yard from the door,
As he picked at the threads of his caftan,
By the glaciers he swore:
"Sleep, my love,—I'll return as an avalanche."
The Demon is the hero of a famous narrative poem by Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841), Russia's foremost Romantic poet and the dedicatee of My Sister Life. In Lermontov's poem the Demon, a fallen angel, is a figure of rebellion and renunciation who roams the Caucasus in a melancholy search for love and peace. He falls in love with the young Gruzian (Georgian) princess Tamara, who is about to be married. After killing her bridegroom, he appears to the girl in her dreams. Fleeing to a nunnery in an effort to resist her tempter, Tamara at last succumbs to his passionate suit and, on yielding to his kiss, dies. As the Demon is about to fl y off with her soul in his arms, an angel intervenes and carries the girl to heaven. At the poem's end the Demon is once again condemned to roam the world in eternal solitude.
Isn't It Time for Birds to Sing
On pavements I will pound them out
Of sun and glass combined;
In winter, let the loft resound
As mildewed corners read my lines.
The attic will itself declaim,
With bow to wintry window frame,
And up to ledge and roof will rise
A leap of wonders, woes, and signs.
A month and more the storm will sweep
And blur where things begin and end.
I'll recollect the sun!—and see:
The world has changed again.
Then Christmas, like a daw, will peer,
And fresh carousing day will show
My love and me a host of things
We never dreamed to know.
In scarf, with hand before my eyes,
I'll shout outdoors and ask the kids:
Oh tell me, dear ones, if you please,
Just what millennium this is?
Who beat a pathway to my door,
That hole all blocked with snow,
While I with Byron had a smoke
And drank with Edgar Poe?
While in Daryál, as with a friend,
In hell, in arsenals of truth,
I dipped—like Lérmontov in dread,
Like lips—my life in life's vermouth.
To give this book an epigraph
The wildernesses moaned,
And lions roared, and Kipling grasped
At tigers of the dawn.
The ghastly well of anguish gaped,
A dried and open moat,
As, loping off, they growled and snapped
And licked their frozen coats.
And now, as they go loping on
Through these disheveled lines,
To prowl a mist of dewy lawns,
For them the Ganges pines.
Cold vipers of the dawn emerge,
Then crawl inside their lairs;
The jungle drips a funeral dirge
And incense fills the air.
My sister—life—in a flood of spring rain
Has bruised herself blue all around us today,
But people in watches seem peevish and vain
And bite so politely, like vipers in hay.
The old have their motives for such goings on,
Your motives most likely are silly, I'll bet:
That eyes in a storm go all lilac like lawns,
The atmosphere heavy with moist mignonette.
That riding in May the Kamýshinsky line
And reading the schedule of trains on the way,
It's grander than scripture and sounds so sublime,
That you could reread it, enraptured, all day.
That sunset at wayside has only to shine
On girls from the village all clustering round,
For me to be told, this stop isn't mine,
And, setting, the sun sympathetically frowns.
The warning bell splashes and swims out of sight,
As if to say: "Sorry—you've traveled so far!"
The window shade filters the smoldering night,
And off runs the steppe from the stair to a star.
They're blinking and nodding, but somewhere they sleep,
As, like a mirage, my beloved has slept ...
While, splashing at platforms, this wide-awake heart
Goes scattering carriage doors all through the steppe.
The Kamyshinsky line is the railroad line from Moscow to Kamyshin, a city in southern Russia near the Volga.
It's dreadful! It drips and it listens:
Does nobody else in the world
Press branches, like lace, in a window,
Or is there ... a witness?
The ground is so swollen and smothered,
Too spongy, too heavy to breathe,
But listen—far off, as in August—
How midnight grows ripe in the seed.
No sound. And no eavesdroppers spying,
And certain of silence profound,
It takes to its work—and it spatters
On roof, over gutters, and down.
I'll bring it to lips and I'll listen:
Is no one but me in this world
So ready to weep at an instant,
Or is there ... a witness?
But hush. Not a leaflet is stirring,
No sign in the dark but the keen
Of sobs and the lapping of slippers,
These tears and the sighs in between.
A cocoa cup spatters the mirror with mist,
The curtains of lace are asway,
And straight into chaos—to garden and swing—
The mirror runs off to play.
The pines are aswagger, stinging the air
With needles of resinous scent;
The flowerbed, frantic, is hunting its glasses,
While Shade reads a book in its tent.
And there in the back, through the gate, to the dark—
To the steppe and its opiate smells,
A quartz-covered pathway shimmers and steams,
All littered with twigs and snails.
The garden rampages, huge in the mirror—
And yet doesn't shatter the glass!
And everything seems collodion coated,
From dresser to sounds in the grass.
The mirrory tide has flooded, it seems,
The world with its ice and erased
The tart from the branch and scent from the tree—
But still couldn't dampen the trance.
This universe teeming is dancing and dizzy,
And only the wind can tie
What bursts into life and what bursts in the prism
And happily plays and cries.
The soul can't be blasted, like ore with saltpeter,
Or dug up with picks like the past.
The garden rampages, huge in the mirror—
And yet doesn't shatter the glass.
And here in this fatherland strange and hypnotic
There's nothing can smother my sight.
And after the rain, out there in the garden,
The statues have slugs for eyes.
The rainwater hums in their ears, and a siskin
Comes skipping on tiptoe and chirps.
You might even purple their lips with a berry—
They won't by your mischief be hurt.
The garden rampages, huge in the mirror,
And raising a fist to the glass,
It catches the swing, tags it and shakes it—
And still doesn't shatter the glass!
A golden cloudlet passed the night
On the breast of a giant cliff.
From garden and swing, from out of the blue,
One branch to the mirror has fl own!
So close—so immense, with a droplet of emerald
Still clutching one cluster alone.
She's hidden the garden behind her commotion,
This stir-in-the-face from the wind.
A kindred in spirit, as huge as the garden—
A sister! Mirror and twin!
But the branch has been placed in a goblet
By the mirror that stands in the hall.
Who is it, she wonders, that's dimming my eyes
In this human, this somnolent thrall?
Hey, you the wind is trying out
To see if birds should sing,
You gently swaying lilac bough,
So sparrow-wet with spring!
The drops are falling button-like,
The garden glinting clear—
A lake all splashed and spotted by
A million bluish tears.
Decked out by you in furry spikes
And nurtured by my care,
It came to life this very night
To stir and scent the air.
All night it tapped the windowpane,
A shutter creaked distress,
And once a breath of dankness raced
Across a scattered dress.
Awakened by the magic sound
Of sobriquets and sighs,
This brand new morning looks around,
Anemones for eyes.
Inscription on "The Book of the Steppe"
She's with me now. So play and laugh!
Come, tear the dusk in two!
Flow down and drown—an epigraph
To love—a love like you!
Be silkworm-like and spin and curl
And beat against the glass.
Enwrap the world, entrap the world,
And make the darkness vast!
Black noon, a cloudburst—Look, her comb!
On gravel, soaked—Surprise!
Cascading trees in unison
On jasmine, temples, eyes!
Hosanna to Egyptian dark!
They laugh, entangled—fall!
It smells as if a thousand wards
Have emptied out their halls!
And now let's rush to touch and pluck,
Like murmuring guitars,
All washed in linden mistiness—
The garden St. Gotthard.
The Book of the Steppe
Est-il possible,—le fût-il? Verlaine
Through the lacy curtains' glow
Ravens fl y.
Fraught with fear of frost and snow
Ravens cry.
That's October whirling there.
Terror draws
Closer now and climbs the stair
On its claws.
Hear them plead and hear them moan,
Grumbling bands
Make October's cause their own,
Stakes in hand.
Seizing wind, the waving wood
Drives us out,
Down the stairs for firewood—
All about.
Snow, knee deep, comes drifting in—
With the cry:
"It's been ages, how you been?
Time goes by!"
Rutted up or beaten down,
All the same—
How from hooves it scattered round
White cocaine!
Snow, like foaming salt from clouds,
Or from reins,
Leached away, like stains from cowls,
Earthly pain.
My cubicle's a crate containing
The bitter fruit of doom.
Oh, keep me from descending graveward
Besmirched by rented rooms!
I'm back again—from superstition—
Where once I stayed before.
The oak-brown walls, the dark partition,
The singing of the door.
Remember, how I held the door lock.
You struggled in my grip.
My forehead brushed your ashen forelock,
And violets touched my lip.
O dearest, as in former meetings,
Now too, your dress still sings
And fl utters, like a snowdrop greeting
The Eastertide of spring!
It's wrong to think you're not a vestal:
You brought a chair one day,
Took down my life, as from a shelf,
And blew the dust away.

Thousands of Syrian Students Protest in Support of Palestinians
Over 7,000 Syrian University students marched in the capital Damascus Tuesday in support of the 18-month-old Palestinian Intifada and against perceived US backing of Israel.
The Syrian students, many waving Palestinian and Syrian flags, marched through Damascus' main streets for almost an hour. "Stop the US support of the Zionist entity," read one banner while another said, "We sacrifice our souls and blood for you Palestine", according to Associated Press. A mock Israeli flag was also burned in the midst of the demonstrations.
Palestinian engineering student Rami Abu Hindi, aged 21, said he participated in the demonstration, "to show support for the uprising, which should continue because it's the only solution to restore usurped Arab rights, mainly the right of return (for Palestinian refugees)."
The students also voiced slogans urging Arab leaders meeting in Beirut next week to support the Palestinians both politically and militarily. (Albawaba.com)

Ivorians will vote Sunday in local elections seen as a trial run for a presidential poll in 2015, but tension is high as the party of ousted president Laurent Gbagbo boycotts the poll.
Ivory Coast is still recovering from years of unrest which came to a head when Gbagbo refused to admit defeat in the 2010 presidential election. Around 3,000 people died in the ensuing conflict before he was captured.
President Alassane Ouattara's government is hoping this weekend's vote will set the foundations for a fresh political start.
However, the Ivorian Popular Front (FPI), which backed Gbagbo during his 10-year rule (2000-2010) and after his arrest in April 2011, has dismissed the poll as a sham.
It has refused to take part, just as it boycotted parliamentary polls at the end of 2011, though a few breakaway activists are running as independents.
The FPI has demanded a reform of the electoral commission and an amnesty for crimes committed during the violent electoral crisis of 2010-2011.
It has also called for the release of its jailed leaders, beginning with Gbagbo himself. He is detained at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, facing trial for crimes against humanity.
The two parties in power, Ouattara's Rally of Republicans (RDR) and the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast (PDCI) of former president Henri Konan Bedie, already have an absolute majority in the National Assembly.
They are guaranteed the lion's share of the regional votes.
But they are also competing against each other in some places; and are up against deeply entrenched independent candidates in others.
The final days of the campaign, which ended on Friday, were marred by physical clashes and invective.
The Ivorian Movement of Human Rights (MIDH) earlier this week warned about the rising political temperature.
Harsh language and hate speeches, with "calls for verbal and physical violence", have raised the "spectre of electoral violence" as in 2010, it said.
It appealed to candidates to accept the results -- or failing that, to challenge them through the proper legal channels.
A senior government official however played down the recent tension in comments to AFP.
And Inza Diomande, a spokesman for the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI), said things would calm down once the Ivorian army had deployed, backed by the UN mission in Ivory Coast, UNOCI.
One UN observers however was less optimistic. He said there had already been clashes at Seguela in the northwest and the economic capital Abidjan, as well as in towns in the west, an unstable region prone to violence.
These local elections are the last before the 2015 presidential election, when Ouattara is expected to run for a second term.
About 5.7 million voters, out of a total population of some 21 million, are eligible to cast their ballots in the vote in regional elections for 84 lists of candidates; and in municipal elections with a choice of 659 candidates.
Voting will take place between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm (0700 to 1700 GMT) Sunday.
The poll is the first of its kind in more than a decade in west Africa's leading economic power.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
If this was the year that publishers started taking legitimate digital comics seriously, it was also the year they started taking bootleg digital comics seriously. A group of American publishers banded together to take down HTMLComics.com, while American and Japanese publishers banded together to target bootleg manga scan sites. Six months later, HTMLComics.com is still down (and likely to stay that way, as the authorities have confiscated their servers), while the manga sites are back in business—in part, perhaps, because many are hosted overseas and thus out of the reach of American and Japanese authorities.
Kicking off a year in which piracy and creators' rights took center stage, Colleen Doran reveals that former clients have released some of work to the Kindle and Google Books without her consent, and despite the fact that they have no right to do so.
Legal | The attorney for Christopher Handley, the manga collector sentenced Feb. 11 to six months in prison on obscenity charges, has released a statement addressing the problem with the obscenity law, why his client thought his books were legal, and why he pleaded guilty.
"I know the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and others concerned about the defense of comic books specifically, and free speech generally, are upset that the case did not go to trial," writes Eric Chase. "They are right to be. The Miller obscenity test is vague, indecipherable, and clearly chills protected speech. Among its most frightening aspects is that its 'community standards' element may allow 'moral majority' communities to dictate to the rest of us. The extortionate tool given to prosecutors through the receipt charge, with its mandatory minimum, gives incentive to defendants to not mount appropriate 'community standards' or 'serious artistic value' challenges. In defense of Chris Handley, given his choices, I suppose all I can do is ask: What would you have done?" [Anime News Network]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What about when those pictures are juxtaposed with words — specifically the words of Incarnate creator Nick Simmons? And what if those words are denying that the pictures, which pretty clearly show that he plagiarized Tite Kubo's hit manga Bleach, do any such thing? That's worth an awful lot, as far as I'm concerned. At Topless Robot, Rob Bricken mashes up Simmons' non-apology apology with the pictorial evidence to absolutely brutal effect. In a controversy that's generated more than its fair share of memorable online commentary, this McCloudian approach has generated my favorite yet.
Publishing | The release of a statement Monday by Nick Simmons has done little to fend off widespread accusations that he plagiarized Bleach and other manga, as well as DeviantArt members, in his Radical Publishing miniseries Incarnate. If anything, the statement — characterized as a "non-apology apology" and "oil on a grease fire" — refocuses attention, and blame, on Simmons after much of the online discussion had branched off into debates about scanlations and fan works. (It also was noticed by The New York Times.) Tom Spurgeon's humorous headline pretty much sums up the tone of Simmons' two-paragraph remarks: "Plagiarist Apologizes For Being Awesome."
Simon Jones, who writes a good post title, tackles some falsehoods that keep getting repeated in the debate. Gottsu-Iiyan, meanwhile, points to near-identical panels in Frank Miller's Elektra Lives Again and Yukito Kishiro's Battle Angel Alita, and wonders whether there are double standards at play (last link via Brigid Alverson).
Incarnate creator Nick Simmons has responded to widespread accusations that he plagiarized Bleach and other popular manga, saying that "certain similarities" were "simply meant as an homage to artists I respect."
Radical Publishing last week stopped production on the collection of Simmons' three-issue miniseries amid growing claims he had copied panel compositions, character designs, dialogue and plot elements from eight manga, including One Piece, Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D and Bleach.
In a statement issued by Simmons' representative and posted on Comics Worth Reading, the 21-year-old artist said: "Like most artists I am inspired by work I admire. There are certain similarities between some of my work and the work of others. This was simply meant as an homage to artists I respect, and I definitely want to apologize to any Manga fans or fellow Manga artists who feel I went too far. My inspirations reflect the fact that certain fundamental imagery is common to all Manga. This is the nature of the medium. I am a big fan of Bleach, as well as other Manga titles. And I am certainly sorry if anyone was offended or upset by what they perceive to be the similarity between my work and the work of artists that I admire and who inspire me."
A representative for Radical Publishing verified the statement comes from Simmons, son of KISS frontman and reality-TV star Gene Simmons.
Incarnate debuted in August with heavy promotional support from Radical and A&E TV, the network that airs Gene Simmons' Family Jewels. The comic is showcased on the show's webpage and sold through its online store.
The plagiarism allegations emerged early last week, igniting discussions — and art comparisons — on countless blogs, message boards and fan sites, with a Facebook group going so far as to call for legal action against Simmons. However, when alerted to the accusations via Twitter, Bleach creator Tite Kubo seemed more amused than anything: "I'm more interested in the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a mangaka than whether he's plagiarizing me or not."
Radical Publishing has stopped production of its comic Incarnate while it investigates growing accusations that creator Nick Simmons plagiarized Bleach and other popular manga series.
The allegations against Simmons, son of KISS frontman and reality-TV star Gene Simmons, emerged at the beginning of the week on the GameFAQ forum before gaining steam Wednesday on fan sites and LiveJournal. The latter link presents perhaps the best visual support for the Bleach claims.
The Wikipedia entry for Nick Simmons now includes a section detailing "Accusations of Plagiarism" that lists eight manga — the insanely popular Hellsing, One Piece and Vampire Hunter D, among them — and an amateur artist from DeviantART. There are assertions that, in addition to panel compositions, character designs and poses, Simmons lifted dialogue and "plot segments" from other works. A group calling for legal action against the 21-year-old Simmons has begun on Facebook, where some members have declared today "Bleach Protection Day."

"Though it's hard to guess from Mikey X Mortis' mellow and fairly melodious vocals, Rictus Grim has an insatiable taste for human blood. Not in a vampire way, because there is nothing less punk rock than a vampire in 2010; more in a zombie sorta way, with the whole "appetite for human brains and flesh" thrown in the mix. The Cape Fear based group plays metal-conscious hardcore punk, with double-pedaled-kick-drum triplets thudding all around their horror story themes. Perhaps the "your mamma" jokes can wait here too."
"Cape Fear's own Rictus Grim are sure to bring their prominent bass lines and addictive lyrics to the stage. Not to mention, there will be evidence of their strong percussion backbone in songs like "Blood of the Wolf." "

I will answer your questions:
1. Yes, children should be adopted into male/female married households. Did I say that 100,000 + children should be taken from the home where they are living in single and same sex household?NO!
But don't add to the problem.
2. Yes, I am married.
3. I have often thought that adopting children into my loving family would be of benefit to both myself, my family and to the child. Right now, I am providing loving care for many here in Cambodia.
4. Yes, Cambodia has many children who have disrupted by selfish adults who care more about their own lives and not about what their child needs.
5. If you knew me, you would never think I was prejudice. You have no idea how I am such an advocate for children.

@cambodia girl 1. Yes, children should be adopted into male/female married
Glad your working with orphans in Cambodia. I think that shows a lot of about who you are.
But it is ridiculous to say that children should be adopted to male/female married households because unfortunately here in the US they are not the ones adopting. And the ones who do adopt are looking for perfect children. The single people and the gay community are willing to take any child including the ones with aids to give them a home. And yes I am single and adopted my daughter at the time of her birth, not knowing what her health or genetic make up would be because I didn't care, I just loved her before she was born.

Demosthenes: "Whether by choice or biology, homosexuals have been opted out
of the child-rearing game. Therefore, adoption makes no sense."
LDS: The same is true for heterosexuals. Many infertile couples (biology) can't have kids and adopt. Many couples (and singles) choose to adopt rather than face the ramifications of pregnancy.
Many straight parents aren't ideal and many would be worse for kids than being raised in a loving same-sex home. Here's a solution -
Let's make a point system. The couple with the highest point score get's the child. If the couple will have one parent be a stay-at-home parent, add 20 points. If they smoke, minus 1pt./cigarette. If the couple has college degrees, add 10 points each. minus 20 for high school drop outs. etc...
Base the point totals on studies and if gay parents really are a negative, then let the points reflect that, but still let them adopt a child if the heterosexual couples wanting the child score even worse. Don't reject a perfect family/couple whose only flaw, if it is a flaw, for being gay, in favor of heterosexuals who are objectively worse.

These are babies that are allready born and put up for adoption. The adoption
agenecy will choose the best home available.
Have you in your "stable religious god fearing household" signed up to adopt? Or are you leaving those babies for unstable foster care and what you think are "marginal" families to adopt?
You realize that gay people can arrange to have thier own kids anyway....

Rubio buyout still a problem
Updated: August 11, 2009, 10:50 AM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn said point guard Ricky Rubio's buyout situation is "still very problematic" and he remains unsure of when the fifth overall pick will come to the United States.
Rubio has two years remaining on his contract with DKV Joventut Badalona, his professional team in Spain, and has yet to be able to negotiate down a buyout number that is at least $6.6 million.
"I believe his representatives are working diligently to get a solution. ...

Most Popular

Erin and Shayne pretty much had the best wedding ever. Photgraphed by Ixi Photography, they had octopuses, mustaches, and most importantly: A BEERICORN. It's a beer-filled unicorn and that's the most magical kind of unicorn. I love it so much.
Now, all I need is the unicorn cake and we're all the way to my perfect Sunday. Cake plus beer = A life well lived. I think that's an Oprah quote.

In an interview with SN, Ron Burkle of Yucaipa Cos. discusses his approach to industry consolidation
Can Yucaipa Cos. consolidate the Northeast the way it did the West and Southwest? It is certainly in the midst of trying — though it looks like a long haul before the A&P/Pathmark combination Yucaipa has already sculpted will be in financial shape to attract an ultimate buyer. Still unclear is if or when Yucaipa will try to broaden its Northeast holdings — possibly by adding any number of smaller regional chains and potentially Shaw's in New England if Supervalu opts to sell — and, ...

Woodcock, the country's most experienced prop with 96 test
caps to his name over a 11-year period, joined up with the
Highlanders this week to begin life with his new franchise.
So far so good has been the case for the loosehead prop.
''It is definitely a different environment and I'm enjoying
it. I had 10 years up there and it is definitely refreshing,
more stimulating,'' he said.
''I wanted to experience something different. When the
opportunity came up I wanted to give it a crack.''
Woodcock, who turned 32 last Sunday, said changing franchises
was more about what was down at the Highlanders rather than
being forced out by the Blues.
''The opportunity came up and I just thought about sticking
in one spot your whole life. I thought I would try something
different. A few things attracted me down here.
''Definitely the way they operate down here and obviously a
bit closer to family and everything is a wee bit more
condensed and closer.''
Taking only a few minutes to drive to training in Dunedin was
one plus, the gridlocks of the Auckland traffic a memory.
Woodcock had a good break after the end of the All Black
tour, and was now slowly getting his body up to speed. He
felt he was at about 80% fitness but still had three weeks to
get prepared for the start of the season.
Woodcock, who has been joined by his wife and two children in
Dunedin, did not solely come south just for a change of
scenery though.
Like any professional sportsman, and experienced All Black,
he wants to win.
''Obviously we have an exciting bunch here, and is it an
exciting challenge. We have got to set our sights really
high. We have got the personnel here. If we do things right
we will be a real chance.''
That means being victorious and nothing stops short of that.
''We have set our sights as high as you can. We have got the
belief here. Experience helps, there is no doubt about that.
We have a good mix here.
''But experience does mean a lot. It is a long competition
and you get tested. You get put in situations that sometimes
you can't train for and it is good to have that experience
Woodcock, who scored the only try for the All Blacks in the
World Cup final, said it was great to have a key man from
that winning World Cup side back in lock Brad Thorn.
''He is a pretty awesome player and is still in great shape.
He came back really good. He does not say a lot but when he
says something the boys really listen.''
Woodcock has seen plenty of the Highlanders region already as
he is a regular visitor to friend and All Black team-mate
Andrew Hore's farm in the Maniototo.
He also went with the Highlanders squad to the Greenstone
Valley last weekend.
''It was a nice day in there. We just did a few activities,
sorted out a few things and it was pretty much free time
after that.''

CNBC-TV had it's five for five segment today--that's where they look at five stocks making news this week. It's pretty much based on earnings. Jon Hilsenrath, editor at the WSJ was the guest to talk about the stocks. Again, these are not recommendations for the contest (or your personal portfolio) but more along the lines of what stocks could have a jump up or down.
It's official--we are a broken record--as we talk once again about earnings when it comes to contest stocks. Earnings affected the best performers as well as the worst, showing how dominate those numbers can be when it comes to stock performance. And the hope of good earnings today put a new name on the most active list. (see below). Here ya go:
Here's our re-cap of the day, with the leaderboard, most active and widely held and the trivia questions. Also, there's the current weekly leader (again, not declaring a winner). We start with the trivia. The video question is worth $2,000 Bonus Bucks: Currently, how many $1 Million homes are there on the market in Rockville, MD? Your selection of answers is: 38 or 18 or 24 or 32 And the news question is worth $1,000 Bonus Bucks: AT&T's CEO Edward Whitacre Jr. is set to retire. His pension plan will be worth more than how much?
At the risk of repeating myself, which I am, it's earnings once again that's dominating the results of the contest stocks. It certainly makes sense, seeing as this is earnings season. And those playing the "earnings game" are seeing the benefits, (current contest leader Greyson Masters) if they picked right (VDSI). Of course, earnings can be a "downer" as owners of SMMX and ISLN found out. Here ya go.
Small appliances and consumer goods company Jarden said on Wednesday it would buy sports equipment maker K2 for $15.50 per K2 share in cash and stock.
Colgate-Palmolive first-quarter profit rose 50% helped by growth across its businesses, but its shares slipped in early trading as the results only met expectations rather than topping them.
Kimberly-Clark said that first-quarter profit jumped 64%, driven by growth in developing and emerging markets, and stood by its full-year profit view despite topping Wall Street's expectations as it faces higher fiber costs.
Hasbro Monday posted a profit that trounced expectations, on strong sales of Spiderman toys and its Littlest Pet Shop and Playskool brands.
Here's our update of the most recent stats on the leaderboard, most active and the trivia questions in case you missed anything. And don't forget to read Jeff Mishlove's contest picks. (He picks for today.) We have video below of everything as well. We'll start with the trivia. The video question is worth $2,000 Bonus Bucks: Shareholders of Firstgroup will meet today to close a 1.8B pound takeover deal of what major U.S. services company? Your selection of answers is: Laidlaw or Southwest Airlines or National Express Group or Mac-Gray Corp.
Earnings are dominating the stocks you're picking--from the best to the worst performing. Playtex turned up in the best performers on news the company was buying Tike Hut Holding. Weak earnings hurt Spansion and Power-One. The most active and widely held remain pretty much the same, but Impac Mortgage makes an appearance in the most active.
Here's our re-cap of today--with the leaderboard, most active and widely held stocks as well as our trivia questions. We'll start there. The video question is worth $2,000 Bonus Bucks: According to this morning's report, China's first quarter GDP was up how much? The selection of answers are: 5.7% or 8.5% or 10.2% or 11.1%.
Here's the latest on what you're doing with stocks for the contest--and what they're doing to you!! It's pretty much dominated by earnings news, both good (LLTC) and bad (YHOO, ESLR). The most active and widely held lists remain the same. And a stock we took a closer look at yesterday, Seagate, had an impact on another stock--and not for the best. Here's the breakdown...
Here's a re-cap of the stats today-- the leaderboard, most active and widely held stocks and of course the trivia questions. We do have a new name at the head of the pack--Serge Amelyan makes a big move from 7th place to the top spot ahead of Parker Robinson--but by only $28K. Here's all the info:
Revlon keeps appearing on the most active and widely held lists of the contest. Here's a bit of a breakdown on the stock. What is Revlon? "Revlon, Inc. conducts its business through its direct wholly owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (Products Corporation), which manufactures, markets and sells an array
Hey folks--here's an update of the lastest action from the leaderboard, to most active stocks. And of course we announced weekly winner #6--James Kraber. On another note, there was an error found in the news trivia question for today. Again, as we posted just a while ago, those who tried to answer the question will receive the value of the news trivia question: $1,000 in Bonus Bucks. Again--that's ONLY for those who tried to answer the question. Here's the update:
Mattel, the world's largest toy maker, said Monday that its first-quarter profit slipped 60% as the year-ago period benefited from a hefty settlement, but the results beat Wall Street's expectations.
Dutch company Philips Electronics beat analysts' forecasts on Monday with a first-quarter operating profit that was depressed by overcapacity in flat LCD displays, and said little would change in the global consumer electronics marketplace.
Folks--here's a sector breakdown from our crack analystical team on what's happening with the stocks you contestants are buying. And there's been a "sea change" for sure. The analyses run through 3/28, found that over 50% of the leaders' trades occurred in retail and technology. But the current analysis--run from 3/29 - 4/10, shows that the contest leaders are now much more diversified with the top group only comprising 8.07%.
Shares in Air France-KLM increased on Friday after Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to "buy" from "hold".
Beazer Homes USA said it has received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office, which is seeking documents relating to it mortgage origination business.

Thursday afternoon was beautiful.
The problem was Wednesday was anything but.
The heavy rain left multiple fields unplayable, so Thursday's action was light.
Below is our game write-up of Mamaroneck's big win over Ursuline and recap of other games. --Nancy
Jen Gottfried has had better starts.
No arguing about that.
But it's not always how you start that matters and the Mamaroneck pitcher had a heck of a finish Thursday.
After giving up a leadoff home run to Angie Rizzi of defending league champ Ursuline, the senior righty escaped a first-inning, bases-loaded jam, then put zeros on the board from there on out as the Tigers beat the host Koalas 3-1.
The win (Mamaroneck's second over Ursuline this season) increased Mamaroneck's league record to 4-1 (5-7 overall), good enough for first place with three league games left.
"Sweeping them is a huge accomplishment," said Mamaroneck coach Allison Bedosky, who noted the Tigers have a good chance of capturing their first league title in 21 years if they beat White Plains next Friday.
Junior Kimi Chiapparelli's solo homer off Castro put Mamaroneck up 2-1 in the fourth and Rose provided insurance in the sixth, her single down the third-base line driving in Allison Newman, who also singled.
But the star of the day was Gottfried, who evened her season mark at 5-5, allowing seven hits and two walks and striking out nine.
Of her first-inning escape, Bedosky said, "She came back and really did some work. That was a pretty big inning. She definitely showed how resilient she is."
Twitter: @HaggertyNancy
Best of the rest: Sarah Nuckel had four hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs and Olivia DeLaurentis homered and drove in three as host Blind Brook beat Keio 12-7. Madison Nethercott added two RBI and Alexa Goldstein had three hits and an RBI. Kanako Bando tripled, homered and drove in four runs and Yuuka Kimura homered and drove in two for Keio. ... Kristen Miloro drove in five runs and Skylynn Roman had two RBI to lead Port Chester to a 12-0 win over host Rye. Five Rams had single RBI, including winning pitcher Cassandra Lagana. ... Anna Bird's seventh-inning RBI triple proved to be the difference as host Maria Regina edged Good Counsel 3-2. Samantha McKillop picked up the win and drove in a run. Johanna Levine tripled, homered and drove in Good Counsel's runs.

Several weeks ago, I mentioned that the IGMA Annual Conference in New Orleans was going to be a strong one, and judging by the reports that filtered back to me, it was. Quite a bit of news came out of the event, including an update from the IGCC's John Kent about the never-ending adventure of certification and the presentation from Quanex's Mike Burk (one of my all-time favorite conference speakers) on safety that included a discussion about how incentives might not work, and dangers to the neck area. Certification and safety are major concerns in our world, for sure.
That said, when I had heard that Ray Wakefield of Trulite was attending his last IGMA meeting, I was really thrown. To me, that's the biggest news of the event. Personally, I can't believe it. Ray is an industry institution, and the thought of him not being involved in things like IGMA blows my mind. I wish you well Ray. These deals won't be the same without you!
- And let's give props to outgoing IGMA President Dave Cooper of Guardian. During his tenure, the meeting agendas were strong and interesting. The next president (I have not heard yet who that might be) will have really big shoes to fill.
- Good news: the Dodge Momentum Index went up in January. Again, trying to stay positive with my thoughts on our economy.
- On the negative side, gas prices, even before winter storm Nemo, were inching towards $4 per gallon again. In Michigan, we saw almost a 50-cent increase in two weeks time. Ummmm, can anyone explain why?
- A very strong effort by the team at Glass Magazine on their latest Top Glass Fabricators report. They have made this yearly edition something that can't be missed. I really enjoyed the poll questions, some of which had to be tough to answer. For example, the one on "greatest challenges" had to be a brutal one to answer since so many of the choices were kinda like a "1 and 1A" sort of thing. I'm stunned that so few companies said "finding financing" would be a challenge.
- One question that wasn't hard to answer, however, was "What are fabricators' future capital acquisition plans?" The dominating answer was adding new products and product lines. I think that is so dead on, and we see it daily. Companies are hungry to diversify and jump into new business segments, and I believe we are only seeing the start of it. If you have not seen the latest issue of Glass Magazine yet, check it out here.
- The Big 10 in basketball is like the SEC in football: just stacked. What a wild March this is going to be. Just thinking about the brackets is exciting.
- Last, I have to admit I might be the only mid-40-year-old guy around who would do this, but I really dig Taylor Swift's new song "I Knew You Were Trouble." It's just a great tune, in my opinion, and man it does stick in your head.

Vilification Tennis: F**k 2001
For some, 2011 totally blew. The economy continued to tank, Katy Perry was at the top of the charts, and for several unlucky shoppers Black Friday meant a face full of mace. So as the year comes to an end, it's time to kick it out and slam the door. The folks of Vilification Tennis plan to do just that with their special brand of insult comedy. But rather than employing their usual format of taking turns ripping each other a new one, the team will be laying down the offensive remarks, jokes, and sarcasm for all things 2011. And while the troupe will certainly spew some vitriol during tonight's performance, snappy comebacks and laughs will also be had.

I've been programming for 30 years, but I never wanted to get into HTML stuff, preferring the stability of desktop type applications. Recently I was approached to help with a wordpress site for a girl fighting breast cancer and I've become committed to doing what I can.
Nextgen Gallery is at 1.9.0 and JJ Nextgen JQuery Carousel is at 1.1.8.
I was able to edit the Atahualpa theme options, and changed the functions.php file, in the "function footer_output" area and added in the following code:
echo "
";
echo do_shortcode('[jj-ngg-jquery-carousel html_id="about-jcarousel" gallery="1" width="150" height="110" visible="5" scroll="1" auto="10"]');
echo "
";
For the most part, it seems to be working right I guess... I did follow the instructions on making a new skin.css file for the carousel, and added that option into the shortcode above, but it never "took". I could change it so that it used the default skin (in the code above) and that worked, so I know my code wasn't causing an error. Not sure why it would not accept the new skin definition so I had no choice but to modify the default. Kinda messes up any future plans, and I'm sure it's probably something silly that I forgot. There was some talk in the doc file about putting the skin css code into the system, but I have to ask why that would be needed if the skin_class was set... one would think it would know the path and values... anyway.
My next issue is trying to get the aspect display to actually "look right". When the images were initially uploaded into the gallery, the option to enable auto resizing and maintaining the aspect ratio was not set. I did change those, the upload image sizing area is set to 800x600 (thumbnails are set to 150x75, the default I think)... and I performed a bulk resize update on the album. From what the album management side says, it looks like those stored images were all updated to "close" to 800x600.
I originally had the carousel set to 150x150, and it wasn't right so I tried changing it to 150x110 (the current code) and that doesn't seem right either.
I am guessing there is no option that allows a true size to be displayed, from reading other posts.
The girls that use this site aren't graphics people. And neither am I. Is there some way to fix this so that things look better? The site just went live (http://justbeatitjessica.com) and I would really like to have this "show" as best as possible for them.
Any suggestions would be *deeply* appreciated. Thanks kindly in advance.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a noninvasive treatment for a wide-assortment of medical ailments. A recent application is for noninvasive body slimming. A Level 1 clinical study was completed and recorded a significant reduction in circumferential measurements across waist, hips, and thighs compared to placebo subjects. Questions remain unanswered to whether the result observed was based upon simple fluid redistribution. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of LLLT for noninvasive body slimming and determine if the loss was attributable to fluid or fat relocation.
Data from 689 participants were obtained to evaluate the circumferential reduction demonstrated across the treatment site of the waist, hips, and thighs as well as nontreated systemic regions. Patient data were not pre-selected; all reports provided by clinics using LLLT for body contouring were used to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment. Participants received a total of six LLLT treatments across 2-weeks having baseline and post-procedure circumferential measurements recorded. Measurement sites included waist, hips, thighs, arms, knees, neck, and chest.
The mean circumferential reduction reported for the waist, hips, and thighs 1 week after the treatment regimen was 3.27 in. (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, participants demonstrated an overall mean reduction of 5.17 in. across all measurement points 5.17 in. (P < 0.0001). Each anatomical region measured exhibited a significant circumferential reduction.
These data reveal that the circumferential reduction exhibited following LLLT is not attributable to fluid or fat relocation as all measurement points, including nontreated regions, reported an inch loss. Lasers Surg. Med. 44:211–217, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Valedictorian's mic cut off as he made impromptu speech about value of the constitution
View on YouTube
What happens when the star student dares to think for himself and speak from the heart instead of from a pre-approved script? Â The government-run school censorship brigade swings into action.
Jim Gibbs reports at the Burleson Star:
He was one of the most quiet and softspoken students of the Joshua High School graduating class, and what the valedictorian wasn't allowed to say at commencement exercises is making national news.
"Most people have never ever heard me speak much less see me smile,†said Remington Reimer, as he addressed the large crowd gathered Thursday at Owl Stadium.
And then, the Burleson resident began what would have appeared to have been a traditional graduation speech – thanking his parents and naming special teachers that have helped him along the way and telling the crowd how proud he was of his class and how close they all were.
He discussed perseverance in life, and told fellow graduates its the finish that matters. He then told a story about a runner who finished a race with a broken leg. He added that, years from now, it wouldn't matter that he was valedictorian or first in his class but, rather, that he and his classmates finished the race and finished well.
Nice words. Nice kid. Another graduation day in America.
Then Reimer discussed his faith and thanked God for "sending His only son to die for me and the rest of the world.â€
Reimer, who has secured an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, talked about free speech and the U.S. Constitution and how that "yesterday, I was threatened with having the mic turned off and…â€
And then the mic was turned off.
[…] Â Another Facebook posting emailed to the Burleson Star clarified what Reimer had said after the microphone was cut off:
"We are all fortunate to live in a country where we can express our beliefs, where our mics won't be turned off, as I have been threatened to be if I veer away from the school-censored speech I have just finished. Just as Jesus spoke out against the authority of the Pharisees and Sadducees, who tried to silence him, I will not have my freedom of speech taken away from me. And I urge you all to do the same. Do not let anyone take away your religious or Constitutional rights from you.â€
The crowd roared with enthusiasm and Reimer sat down.
Unfortunately, it didn't stop with censorship. Â Afterwards, the principle apparently threatened to put his future in jeopardy by disparaging his character to the Naval Academy, where he had been recently accepted:
A Texas high school principal threatened to sabotage a valedictorian's appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy after the student delivered a speech that referenced God and the U.S. Constitution, the boy's attorney alleges.
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation with the Liberty Institute, said Joshua High School principal Mick Cochran threatened to write a letter to the U.S. Naval Academy disparaging the character of Remington Reimer.
"It was intimidating having my high school principal threaten my future because I wanted to stand up for the Constitution and acknowledge my faith and not simply read a government approved speech,†the teenager said.
Sasser is now representing the teenager and is calling for the Joshua Independent School District to issue a public statement exonerating him of any wrongdoing.
He said the speech was edited and reviewed by four different school officials – including an officer in the JROTC. Sasser said the censorship violated federal and state laws.
[…]  The following day the principal met with Reimer's father and informed him "that he intended to punish Remington for his perceived misdeed.â€
"Specifically, he threatened to send a letter to the United States Naval Academy advising them that Remington has poor character or words to that effect,†Sasser told Fox News.
After consulting with a school attorney, the principal temporarily retracted the threat, Sasser said.
"The principal said he wanted to try to ruin him for what he did – for talking about the Constitution and his faith,†Sasser said. "I don't know if he's going to be able to continue to be the principal of that school.â€

âThe Unwrittenâ #5 is a break from the regular ongoing plot of the series, which normally focuses on Tom Taylor and his search for the truth about himself, as the book jumps back a century to focus on British writer Rudyard Kipling in an effort to provide some context for Taylorâs adventures and more information on the world of the comic. The story, itself, is affecting and deep with every aspect of the comic working together in perfect sync to tell how Kipling rose to popularity and suffered for it.
Visually, this issue is the strongest one yet as Peter Gross, Chris Chuckry, and Todd Klein all contribute to the unique mesh of art and text. Since âThe Unwrittenâ is a comic so entrenched in the written word and this issue spotlights a writer, text plays a rather large role here, and Gross and Klein give it its proper place. Grossâs page layouts often work around where excerpts from Kiplingâs journal will go or, in one scene that illustrates Kiplingâs poem, âHow the Whale Got His Throat,â the poem itself intermingles with the art. Throughout, Klein uses a variety of fonts to great effect, the cursive one for Kiplingâs journal particularly well done since cursive fonts are sometimes difficult to read, which isnât the case here.
Chuckry uses a different color pallet for this issue, one that looks faded. Faded tans, browns, and blues all indicate the time and the nature of this issue: it is a journey into the past, but it is also a story someone is reading, narrated by Kiplingâs journal. As well, this is a fictional rendering of Kiplingâs life to suit the world of the comic, which is reflected in the coloring. Peter Gross also shifts styles here, using a very thin, clean line, sticking to minimally rendered figures, a change thatâs apparent on the final page of the comic, which takes place in a different time. His drawings of Kipling as he ages are subtle, the alterations in appearance sneaking up on you as they do in real life.
The scope of this issue is bigger than simply Kipling as Carey provides numerous hints about the larger world of âThe Unwrittenâ and the group that is seemingly moving against Tom Taylor. A young Kipling is approached by a man named Locke while in India with the promise that he could be made a well known, successful writer with Lockeâs groupâs help. They admire Kiplingâs belief in the British Empire and wish for him to champion the Empire in his writing. While reluctant, Kipling doesnât exactly turn Locke away and, quickly, he is the voice of British imperialism -â soon, detractors like Oscar Wilde are disgraced and Kipling sees the sort of men heâs been dealing with. The plot unfolds in starts and stops, skipping years to focus on moments, an effective way to tell this story since its focus isnât so much Kiplingâs life but how his life fits into âThe Unwritten.â The culminating scene between Kipling and Locke is powerful, full of harsh truths, and is almost uncomfortable to read.
If you thought âThe Unwrittenâ was an English lit majorâs dream comic before, this focus on Rudyard Kipling -- partly a celebration of his writing, partly a damning critique -- solidifies that sentiment. Thankfully, this comic is so much more than just an illustrated essay or biography, itâs a story first and foremost. And itâs a very good one at that.

It is crazy how when we are preggo, we can tell when we don't eat enough fruit/veggies or drink enough water. It never effected me too bad when I was not preggo. I had a bagel and then a toaster strudel 30 mins later yesterday. It was bad. Then for lunch Ihad lunchmeat but I did eat carrots... followed by fritos. Then for dinner I made loaded nachos... ha does salsa count as a veggie? what about Corn chips? =P And I also had MCD for lunch today lol. DH made me late for work b/c I had to drop DS off at my mom's instead of him watching him and I had not planned on that. I brought carrots and pb tho =)
Don't feel bad! Last week, I didn't have one healthy thing, I had pizza 3 days last week and taco bell twice. It was the only food that would stay down and I wasn't going to starve. Yesterday, I finally started feeling better and had a chicken salad and fruit later in the day! It felt really good to eat healthy but when I was eating really bad, it just felt good to keep food down! So your one bad day doesn't come close to my really bad week!
