Baloney? No, Lewis is tops for Maloney
Jeff Powell
Last updated at 00:00 14 November 2001
The high rollers are flying in but the short man has checked out.
The largesse abounds but not the little guy with the big smile.
The foxy ladies are here in their cling-film dresses but not our Frank in his Union Jack suit.
No baloney, as Don King would say, we miss our Maloney.
Whether Lewis is significantly afflicted by withdrawal symptoms after splitting from his long-time boxing manager and erstwhile best pal remains to be seen in the ring on Saturday night.
But here at the Mandalay Bay the flying fishes are playing with a mite less exuberance than usual. The double act is down to a one-man-band.
Not that Maloney is out of mind as well as out of sight.
He has been contesting the injunction which seeks to prevent him from telling his side of the split story and picking up 85 grand before doing so in a tabloid newspaper serialisation.
His lawyers are preparing his claim for a share of the megamillions which are in the pipeline for a Mike Tyson fight, towards which he and Lewis had been working since Maloney brought the boxer home from Canada to London 12 pugnacious years ago.
So you would think no one would be happier to see Lewis dumped by Hasim Rahman for a second time this weekend than the Cockney caperer. Wrong.
'I still want Lennox to win,' said Maloney. 'We've been through a lot together. None of the old boxing establishment wanted him as world champion.
America hated the title going to Britain.
But we took on the world, we won, and I still believe Lennox is the best thing that has happened to British boxing in a long, long time.
'Lennox made a mistake not preparing right for Rahman the first time in South Africa. But do I want to see him make the same mistake again? Of course I don't.' Whether they can still be friends, which Lewis says he wants, is doubtful. Nor is Maloney's wish for Lewis to avenge his shock defeat by Rahman entirely altruistic. He has a book in the writing and it will do the sales no harm at all if Lewis happens to be fighting Tyson some time around the proposed publication date next spring.
Nevertheless, his emotional heart is pulling for Lewis as powerfully as his economic head.
'Deep down,' he said, 'I want Lennox to go out as the champion I always believed he would be.' Since the sign over the exit door would become more brightly illuminated if Lewis were to get knocked out by the moderate American for the second fight running at the age of 36, that ambition requires him to do a Las Vegas number on Rahman this time. Of course he should win. He is the bigger, better, more experienced boxer, after all.
But the demons of the night are at work along this strip of broken dreams.
King, the arch-seducer, is tempting Lewis with promises of wealth untold if he signs away his life, or at least his next three or four fights.
The yes-men are fawning over Lewis now that Maloney the midget motivator has been cast into the desert. And Rahman swears he is no Buster Douglas who, in Tokyo 11 years ago, became the first to flatten Tyson only to turn up some weeks later like a fat cat ready to roll over against Evander Holyfield.
Maybe. Maybe not.
King enriched Rahman after he upset Lewis so he may not be as hungry.
Still, nothing is certain with Lewis at the moment, less so now that Maloney is no longer a constant in his professional life.
Maloney ' s non- stop campaigning helped Lewis to become Britain's first world heavyweight champion in almost a century. Then his persistent agitating secured second chances for Lewis after he was knocked out by Oliver McCall and held to a draw by Holyfield.
Now, as his own master and undisputed boss of the new people in his camp, Lewis is flying virtually solo towards the climax of his career.
For any number of good reasons, the absent Maloney is hoping Lewis does not crash-land this Saturday night.

Going forward is the start of another road, this road will be tough and filled with plenty of obstacles. I meet with my oncologist on Tuesday, she will go over my most recent MRI and I will hear what she has to say about it. As I said before, this is the first MRI post radiation and I am certain my brain probably resembles a piece of pie at this point so she wont be able to tell me too much. This MRI will become my new 'baseline' and a month from now will be the true test to see where this monster is headed. (Get it, 'headed?') After I meet with Emily I will shoot over to UCLA to start my next round of the trial drug I am currently on. This is the fun part, every injection feels like fire going into my body then I become immediately tired. After a nap I wake up with a fun rash and a couple days of swelling and I look like I am pregnant with a small alien in the side of my abdomen. The injection sites JUST finished healing a couple days ago and now I get to start alllllllllll over again! Ironically, I don't even know if these are helping in the battle, but I am trying everything I possibly can so a little bit of pain is just part of the game. Tuesday will also mark the end of my 'chemocation.' I finished my initial marathon session of chemo which consisted of 45 days straight, minus a 3 day break when my blood counts dropped very low and Tuesday I will begin chemo again. This time the regimen will be a bit tougher though- I will be taking double the dosage of what I initially took, but only for 5 days straight. I will then be off chemo for 25 days, then back on for 5 days double dosage again. This will continue on for about a year or until they don't think it is necessary anymore for one reason or another.
Like I said, it is going to be a tough road and I am not sure how my body will react to doubling the dosage of chemo that I initially took. I skated through my initial treatment and I hope that it is the same this time around, but only time will tell. Until then, please continue those happy thoughts, prayers, mental hugs and good vibes- I am all but sure they are helping!!!!!
Ryan and I are currently working extra hard to get the foundation up and running. We are working with some exceptionally talented and amazing people to help us set up the groundwork and I can not be more excited to launch it. We have some amazing ideas in the works and within the next few weeks we will be sharing a lot of information with everyone. I truly hope you all will help out with this new foundation as much as you have helped me through this journey. I KNOW that we can help a lot of people who need a lot of help. Changing people's lives is an amazing feeling and having been the one in need of help for so long, now it is time for me to return the favor. Thank you everyone and stay tuned for some awesome things coming up, I promise you it will be fun and you will be changing lives.
There is no better feeling than to know you have changed a life for the better, to know that you have impacted someone in such a way that you have completely changed their life for the better. No amount of money nor material possessions will ever equal the feeling of inspiring someone.
|15 years later, still an amazing group of guys. CREDO

They're dropping like flies, these also-ran GOP candidates for the 2012 presidential election. First Mike Huckabee announced he will re-up his contract with Fox News on Sunday, now Donald Trump has released this statement to the press:
After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.
I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician's thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country's policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country's conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country's top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don't have a medium through which to articulate.
I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country's most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs
Thank you and God Bless America!
Donald J. Trump
Word has it this had everything to do with NBC's pending decision to replace Donald Trump on The Apprentice. Negotiations which went into the 11th hour over the weekend with network executives to broker a deal that will put $60 million in the Don's pockets over the next three years if he renews. Expect a followup press announcement from NBC to be forthcoming, in the affirmative.

Trip to Kinokuniya, Tokyo
As I've been writing these posts about my trip to Japan, I've become aware of how much it seems like all I did was shop. I assure you, that was not the case. I have to admit that Tokyo was shopping-heavy, but trust me, things changed once I got to Echizen.
After my stressful reunion post-Tokyu Hands, my hubby and I dragged ourselves over to Kinokuniya – a bookstore with books in both Japanese and English. Thankfully, this stop actually held interest for my husband.
Kinokuniya not only has stores in Japan, but also in the United States. I've been to their stores in San Francisco and Beaverton, OR. I was looking forward to conquering one of their Tokyo locations. My mission – bookbinding books written in Japanese.
Yes, you read that correctly. And no, I don't speak Japanese.
I do, however, have a small collection of bookbinding books that are written in Japanese. They offer a different visual style than books published in the United States and I like that. They usually offer project directions that are accompanied by clear and easy to follow photos and/or diagrams. You can pretty much do the projects without knowing Japanese. They're very cool.
So I already had 7 Japanese books in my collection and while traveling, there was no way I'd remember which titles I already owned. The fact was that I had to do some advance preparation for this particular stop on my tour.
BookBuddy to the rescue! This app allows you to manage your home library on your phone. Under normal circumstances, you can just scan a book's barcode to add it to your collection. Unfortunately, I had to enter most of my books manually because the app didn't recognize the barcodes. Good thing there were only 7 books!
Yet another escalator adventure awaited me as I entered Kinokuniya.
Once I got to the floor with craft books, I approached the sales counter and showed the clerk one of the book covers I had in BookBuddy. She nodded her head and led me to the area of the store that had the bookbinding books.
Out of curiosity, I scanned the shelf sign using Google Translate and it came up as Miniature Books.
There were about a dozen bookbinding books there and I already owned several of them. I think there were six that I didn't already own and let me be clear – I wanted ALL of them. The fact is that funds, weight, and space were issues for me (only so much room in the suitcase), so I had to control myself.
After about 30 minutes of deliberating, I finally settled on 4 books. I'm telling you – shopping for Japanese books in person is sooo much better than doing it online. There's nothing like being able to flip through the pages yourself. Online shopping can be such a crapshoot.
By the way, I'm not writing much about my purchases now because I plan to write detailed reviews of each of these books in the future. Stay tuned!
Here are the books I purchased:
The first half of Handmade Miniature Books focuses on various bookbinding tips and techniques, with clear and easy to understand photos. The second half of the book includes 12 projects. All written content is in Japanese. ISBN: 978-4-88393-630-4.
Handmade Bookmaking offers 8 projects with directions written in Japanese, accompanied by photos and diagrams. It also includes an introduction to tools and materials, and general bookbinding tips. ISBN: 978-4-88393-555-0.
Making Beautiful Handmade Books with Misuzudo: 12-Lesson Bookbinding Textbook starts off with general bookbinding techniques, written in Japanese. 12 projects follow, accompanied by photos and diagrams, and dimensions for all needed supplies. ISBN: 978-4-309-27681-6.
The Enjoyable Guide of Making Miniature Books includes 9 projects, all with directions written in Japanese. It includes photos and diagrams to help you complete each project. ISBN: 978-4-05-800167-7.
I'm so psyched that I found some new books – and they're direct from Japan. Now that the trip is over, I have to admit that carrying them in my backpack was a major pain (in my back). It was probably a good idea to not buy more than I did.
Buuutttttt…that didn't stop me from buying 4 rolls of washi tape when I was there. Rationale – rolls of tape are light and small.
Here's a rundown of the patterns I bought (from top to bottom):
- mtex Spirograph: 4971910208427
- neighbor·blue: 4971910187111
- mt × Saul Bass Walk: 4971910209493
- mtex books: 4971910208441
I love love love the roll with the books pattern on it!
If you'd like to visit Kinokuniya, here's the store I went to:
- Address: 3-17-7 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo (Google Map)
- Phone: 03-3354-0131
- Public Transportation: 5 minute walk from Shinjuku Station (Yamanote and Chuo lines, east exit; Marunouchi line, exits B7 and B8; Oedo and Shinjuku lines, exit 1)
Total sheets of paper purchased to date: 10

It's official:
As anticipated, the nuclear deal went into full effect Jan. 16 as Iran completed a series of steps to limit its nuclear activities, including mothballing thousands of centrifuges, sending out most of its stockpile of low-enriched uranium to Russia and removing the core of a heavy water reactor and filling it with concrete. Taken together, these measures extend from several months to more than a year the time it would take Iran to amass enough fuel for a nuclear weapon.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), issued a statement announcing that he had submitted a report to the IAEA board and the UN Security Council "confirming that Iran has completed the necessary preparatory steps to start the implementation" of the JCPOA.
Amano said the report was issued after "Agency inspectors on the ground verified that Iran has carried out all measures required under the JCPOA to enable Implementation Day to occur."
Immediately after Amano's announcement, European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif read a joint statement to reporters in Vienna announcing the lifting of all nuclear-related sanctions. The White House followed with an executive order from President Barack Obama authorizing the removal of those sanctions, which primarily affected the ability of foreigners to do business with Iran.
We're really in uncharted territory now, I guess.
A few related links:
A joint statement from Federica Mogherini and Mohammed Javad Zarif making the announcement
John Kerry's statement
A very good primer from Daryl Kimball of the Arms Control Association
A really interesting report from The New York Times's Tehran Bureau Chief, Thomas Erdbrink, on how Iranians are keeping their expectations about the nuclear deal in check:
The low-key reception given "implementation day," when the nuclear deal was finally completed and Iran was freed to rejoin the international economy, reflected the multiple disappointments and broken promises Iranians have experienced in the two years the negotiations dragged on. While the government talked up the deal to lift people's hopes, few expected to see any improvement in their lives.
"I haven't seen any excitement," said Ali Shoja, an office cleaner riding the Tehran subway on his way to work. "They speak of billions of dollars coming, but as in the past, I don't expect those dollars to reach my pockets."
Hey, thanks for reading! If you come here often, and you like what I do, would you please consider contributing something (sorry, that page is a work in progress) to keeping this place running and me out of debtor's prison? Also, while you're out there on the internet tubes, please consider liking this blog's Facebook page and following me on Twitter! Thank you!

Dreamgoal, realistic goal, safety goal…
So. Competition in four days. I am just recovering from The Flu From Hell, and my body is tired and the cold weather makes me cough. My beautiful plans to keep working endurance to get Her Majesty to shut up are still just plans. And to top it off it's snowing like crazy right now! Snow = no training outside.
In times like this, I'm glad I have a safety goal!
Dream goal: everything works, and we do our best session ever, win our class, and are ready for class 2.
Realistic goal (at least it seemed realistic until last week): We do a solid program. Maybe not our best work, maybe a little whine here and a few steps there, but all in all we do the exercises more or less the way they are meant to be.
Safety goal (this is where we are right now): we start. That's it. The goal is to get there, prepare for the competition, get the mood right, and start as well prepared as possible. Everything that comes after that is a bonus.
All the training we did during our obedience boot-camp is still made. We have improved every exercise, and we have had fun doing it. Nothing is wasted – there is always another competition!
So, that's my goal for this Sunday: show up, do the best we can, give my dog a memory that will make her long for next time, and give the audience a glimpse of two individuals that enjoy training together and have fun together.
Next time I'll be able to follow my plan, next time there won't be any snow, and you know what? We will be even better prepared because of the work we have already done!

"For someone outside of our business, one part of my work that might seem unexpected is cost savings. I consistently research vendors for best parts and service pricing and track all parts request work orders to ensure that we only use next day shipping when absolutely necessary, as part of an effort to save on cost without sacrificing Point of Service," said Joe Blackwell, ISS Solutions District Operations Manager.
Joe applies his planning and organizing skills to all parts of his work. When a healthcare provider needed to replace their patient monitoring system, Joe got right to work. He arranged an opportunity for vendors to pitch to the healthcare provider's staff and supplied the staff with scorecards to rate each vendor. Based on the data from the cards, ISS Solutions helped the healthcare provider identify their first choice of the vendors. Then Joe negotiated the contract on the healthcare provider's behalf.
"Joe's focus on quality patient care through proper equipment maintenance, support, and compliance of CE devices at Regional Medical Center (RMC) and all his clients has allowed ISS Solutions to grow existing accounts and gain new business opportunities," said Tom DeNoville, Senior Director of Clinical Engineering. "Joe's areas of responsibility rank in the top 1% on performance measures related to PM Completion / Compliance and Work Order Completion Metrics for ISS Solutions Non-Geisinger Clinical Engineering."
Joe joined ISS Solutions in 2012 as a BMET Intermediate. He earned his advanced BMET certifications while he served in the military and has also taken courses at Schoolcraft College. He is a member of the Healthcare Technology Management Association of South Carolina (HTMA SC), the Healthcare Technology Management Association of Georgia (HTMS GA), the North Carolina Biomedical Association (NCBA), and the Georgia Biomedical Instrumentation Society (GBIS). Outside of work, Joe is a high school wrestling coach and enjoys hunting and fishing.

It occured to me that with all the excitement leading up to tommorows election, noone has thought to take a moment to give a shout out to our beloved departing Senator Paul Kirk.
This, after all, is the final evening that he will be spending as a United States Senator, so when would be a more appropriate time to thank him for all of his tireless effort that he has put into representing us.
To soon to be Former Appointed Interum Senator Kirk, This Buds for you!

2019 is here and running! Meanwhile, I'm still reflecting on last year! 2018 was a year of realization for me. Life is strange and it's truly a journey but every journey prepares you for whatever is coming next. Throughout the year I had aw-ha moments which made me realize things such as self determination, goal execution, friendships, money, and the list can go on.
I always knew I was a strong and highly educated black woman. However, one day I was dancing in my living room, by myself, to Grown Woman by Beyonce' when I realized I'm A STRONG, HIGHLY EDUCATED and AMBITIOUS BLACK WOMAN Continue reading "2018 Realization!"

A few months ago I read an Above the Crowd newsletter by Bill Gurley of Benchmark Capital in which he introduced the idea of "Demand Side" vs. "Supply Side" Capitalism. Demand side capitalism is where an Internet startup comes up with a product that customers need, while supply side capitalism is where startups dream up a product, and hope that demand will soon follow.
Examples of demand side capitalism might be ebay (EBAY). They satisfied a need already apparent from flea market and garage sale fanatics, and the frustrations people felt when trying to find that perfect something or trying to sell some velvet Elvis portrait mistakenly purchased long ago.
Some people think that Amazon (AMZN) falls into the supply side corner, but most definitely the whole PC industry does. After all, the argument goes, no one knew they needed personal computers until companies like Tandy (now Radio Shack (RSH)), Hewlett-Packard (HWP), Apple (AAPL), and IBM (IBM), not to mention Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MFST) came up with them.
So, the PC industry supposedly created customer needs, rather than the other way around.
Gurely calls for an end to supply side capitalism that seems rampant in the Internet space, and a return to demand side capitalism.
I think this is important advice for Internet companies. After all, Gurley is considered by many to be an Internet guru, so people should pay heed. But let's be clear that these ideas, like those of many so-called Internet gurus, are quite old. I assure you, one can find them in any Marketing 101 textbook.
In marketing, we just use different names. For example, I have always asked my MBA students: Is marketing about creating needs (Supply Side Capitalism) or filling needs (Demand Side Capitalism)? Throughout history, some firms have more production oriented (Supply Side) or market-oriented (Demand Side).
Those of us who teach marketing have always argued for "finding a need a filling it!"

what makes us human: the gaze
scaling the sublime
art at the limits of landscape
This exhibition explores affinities with Romanticism in contemporary art practice, and the continuing fascination of the Landscape Sublime. Drawn to subjects such as mountains, glaciers, the icecaps, forests, the ocean, the moon and the remotest stars, the artists included have found new ways of reflecting on our relationship with the unimaginable forces of nature, even in our age of technological advance and the unprecedented expansion of knowledge.

Shade: 25, Coral Sunset
Mei Ling's reason: "This red is warm and easy to wear, so it goes with her personality!"
"The next best thing to a red lipstick for me would be a brick-red shade. I find that the mixture of red and brown complements my skin tone. It brings warmth to my face and yet it brightens it at the same time. This colour is definitely something that I'd gravitate towards to naturally and I'm surprised at the accuracy of Mei Ling's colour choice." – Alya

Labrador Retrievers are ranked as the most popular dog breed in the U.S. by the American Kennel Club (AKC), and the breed has held this title for at least the past three years.
Charlotte, the two-year-old Black Lab keeping my toes warm at this moment, agrees that she is extremely popular and also pretty hungry, as usual. So why are Labs so popular — and why are they are always so hungry?
The breed was developed from the St. John's water dog in and around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts of eastern Canada in the early 1800's. Once they moved into England and the Americas, the breed became known as the Labrador Retriever because they were already well-known as "retrievers" from the sea of Labrador.
The Labrador breed has been described by the AKC as "kind, pleasant, outgoing and tractable" in nature. These dogs have been bred for hundreds of generations for their willingness to remain quietly in a duck blind or wait patiently on the shore while the boss awaits the perfect shot and downs a waterbird. The Labrador watches the bird hit the water and springs into action, using his superior sense of smell to locate the floating prey and bring it back to the waiting hunter.
The dog and the hunter are a team, and the dog well knows his job is to jump into the freezing water and fetch the hunters' dinner. This is the life of a working dog, and they have been selected for these traits over the past 200 years.
Related: Here Are 5 Essential Items You Need To Go Camping With Your Dog
And many of the same traits that make a happy, congenial, well-mannered hunting dog also contribute to the affability of a great family dog. Labradors thrive on love and companionship. Their family is their "hunting partner" and a team spirit prevails.
Labs are masters of obsessive behavior and unending entertainment when it comes to retrieving, swimming, boating, hiking, sleeping, and eating. Once you get them started, it's difficult to get them stopped. Many dogs demonstrate these behaviors, but Labs seem to do it with more gusto than most breeds.
Speaking of eating with gusto: Labs have been reported to have the highest obesity prevalence of all dog breeds. Along the same lines, Labs have been shown to be more food-motivated than other breeds. Why?
When it comes to obsessive eating, they literally can't help themselves. A recent study provides a molecular explanation for what Lab breeders and owners have known for a very long time: that Labs love to eat.
Related: Your Dog's Food May Be More Important Than You Think. Here's Why.
As it turns out, the gene that keeps appetite and energy in check (the so-called POMC gene) is mutated in Labs, thus leaving the dogs unable to tell when they have had enough to eat and unable to sense high levels of body fat.
Thus, they eat and eat and eat and never have a sense of satiety because those genetic mechanisms are disrupted and not working properly. This mutation is not present in any other breed of dog except the closely-related flat-coat retriever.
The good news from all this is that we now know why Labs will work for food! Some trainers think that Labs are the most trainable of all dog breeds, and this new information may tell us why this is true. No matter how much they eat, Labs with the POMC mutation do not ever get a feeling of being full.
Thus they are virtually always ready to "sit" for food, "down-stay" for food, "come" for food, "heel" for food — you get the picture. In a cohort of 81 Labrador assistance dogs who were studied for the POMC mutation, the prevalence of the mutation was about 4-fold higher than in another cohort of 411 pet dogs from the U.K. and U.S. Thus, it appears that breeding of assistance/service dogs has (perhaps unwittingly) selected for mutations in the POMC gene.
The trainers of these service dogs depend on the willingness of the dogs to respond to food stimulus over and over again on a daily basis throughout their rigorous training and into their years as service animals. Labradors respond, in spades!
The young, enthusiastic, companionable, tail-wagging, not overweight, treadmill-trained Labrador currently keeping my toes warm is telling me that it's 4:30 and time for dinner. Charlotte hasn't retrieved any ducks today, but keeping my toes warm is an important job, too, so she'll get her dinner — but I won't be surprised if she asks for more.

Don Juan, the `Seducer of Seville,' originated as a hero-villain of Spanish folk legend, and his fame spread through the rest of Europe in the 17th century. The name "Don Juan" is a common metaphor for a "womanizer". And although the Don Juan myth has many variations, the basic story remains the same. This fictitious character is a symbol of libertinism and has captured the imagination of many, especially Hollywood, as Don Juan DeMarco and Don Jon. Costumes and Collectibles brings to you a fine selection of Don Juan costumes complete with the Mask, Sash and the Cape.
The Don Juan Mask is made of cotton and ties behind the head. It works well for the charming or mysterious look. This item, which completes our Don Juan ensemble, does justice to the legendary ladies' man and looks best when paired with these pants, shirt, vest, sash, cape, and hat.
- Made of cotton
- Works with the charming or mysterious look
- Ideal for Renaissance fairs and historical reenactments

Daughtered Out
Funny you should ask– deoxyribonucleic acid is the basic building block of life, holding the torch in my own little world. Some people are not carrying the torch. "In the presence" may not be the place for you. "Daughtered out" what it means is– you cannot find a descendant of a female ancestor. Don't believe the hype, because there isn't any to find. There was a girl (absorbed) under my care, but held against her will– until I had become the water under the boat and saw her looking up.
Created from a Google search result: 'Torch DNA.' First appeared in the Found Poetry Review's "PoMoSco," a collective April 2015 National Poetry Month challenge.
Burn, Burn a Witch
Once, I was ordinary–
irrefutable, beautifully smug,
but I would rather be horizontal.
The horizons ring me like faggots.
In the marketplace, they are piling the dry sticks.
I shall never get out of this– there are two
of me now– the abstracts hover like dull angels.
Widow. The word consumes itself–
On this bald hill, the new year hones its edge.
I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus.
The month of flowering's finished, the fruit's in.
This was the land's end: the last fingers–
Knuckled and rheumatic– first frost and I
walk among the rose-fruit, the marble toes.
They are the last romantics, these candles–
the white light is artificial, and hygienic as heaven.
Touch it– it won't shrink like an eyeball.
Empty, I echo to the least footfall!
I can stay awake all night, if need be.
The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper.
This is a dark house, very big–
two girls there are– within the house.
It is ten years, now, since we rowed to Children's Island.
Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.

Thigh High Subversion
The right dose
of thigh high subversion
borrows from past and place.
I try to make it abstract.
The work of human hands,
and dreams become reality.
Confident woman
(global chameleon)
of the true north–
–haute couture.
Consider the ground
held on an icy winter:
fiery candles and stone ruins
plunged into ancient culture.
I have seen true Vogue
inspired by an elevator.
She started an affair with
a license to imagine.

Caitlyn Jenner Confirms Kylie's Pregnant, Says Report
So, it's true, Kylie Jenner really IS pregnant?— That's the case, according to a new report, which claims a spokesperson for Caitlyn said that Kylie told her about the pregnancy 'some time ago.' Get the details!
Kylie Jenner, 20, is reportedly pregnant with she and Travis Scott's first child and she told Caitlyn Jenner, 67, about the news directly, according to The Sun, Sept. 25! The site claims that a representative for Caitlyn confirmed that Kylie broke the news to her father "some time ago" Here's the full statement: "All I can tell you is that it was some time ago." UPDATE: HL has reached out to Caitlyn's rep, who told us that The Sun's statement did not come from her team.
The alleged statement came right after Kris Jenner, 61, told Ryan Seacrest, 42, [on Sept. 25] that Kylie is not commenting on the pregnancy reports! During today's episode of Live! with Kelly & Ryan, Kylie's reported pregnancy was obviously a hot topic, as it has been on every other show. And, right on LIVE TV, Ryan texted the Kardashian matriarch to get the scoop; since you know, he's to thank for the family's hit reality show, Keeping Up. So, if anyone can get the scoop about the baby rumors, it's him. But, he fell short. "Kylie's not confirming anything," Kris texted Ryan almost immediately after he texted her.
Just before The Sun reported that Caitlyn confirmed that Kylie's pregnant, HL exclusively discovered that the former Olympian is concerned about her daughter. "Caitlyn was really shocked and disappointed to learn that Kylie is pregnant," a source close to Caitlyn shared. "She thinks Kylie is way too young to have a baby, and that she should have waited until she was in a long term committed relationship."
The insider continued: "Obviously, Kylie has more than enough money to ensure that she can pay for help, but Caitlyn still thinks that having a baby will take a huge toll on Kylie's life. Caitlyn would have liked for Kylie to wait 'til she was in her thirties, but Kylie has always wanted to be a young mom, and she's crazy in love with Travis, so she didn't want to wait any longer. Caitlyn is concerned that Kylie and Travis really haven't been dating very long, and that a baby will put a big strain on their relationship, but Kylie believes the exact opposite—that she and Travis [25] will be together forever."
Kylie and the entire Kardashian family have yet to address or confirm the pregnancy reports. The family, including Kylie, have all been active on social media since the news broke on Sept. 22. Kylie's even been showing off her belly amidst the pregnancy speculation.
HollywoodLifers, do you really think Kylie is pregnant?!

On June 3, 2008, Disturbed released their fourth studio album, Indestructible and let me tell you, Disturbed's success is indestructible.
While that may have been a slightly stupid pun, its not a lie! This album, along with all but one album from Disturbed hit number one here in the US clear across the board! It also reached number one in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. It did extremely well in most countries, and the lowest chart rating it saw at all was 63 in Japan. Pretty damn impressive, right? That's Disturbed for you.
The first single for this album came out on March 25, 2008 and was "Inside The Fire." "Inside The Fire" seems to be about a dying person, encouraging them to let go of life fully and move onto another world. It sounds like its about a small child who passed, which is rather sad, and we can only hope nobody in the band has lost a child. The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for the Best Rock Performance category.
Two particular tracks are also special because they were actually written prior to their first album, The Sickness came out. Those two songs are "Perfect Insanity" and "Divide." Why they chose this album to release them on, we're not sure, but none the less its great that they did.
"Perfect Insanity" is basically what the title says -someone going insane, but wording it in a perfect way. Like most artists, David Draiman has "lost his mind." Its a wonderful track, and done very, very well.
Other honorable tracks are, "The Night", "Haunted" and "The Curse." Its no secret really that the album is great, but that's just a few songs we wished to mention.
Be sure to check out Disturbed's website because over there you will be able to find a bunch of tour dates and festival performances. Disturbed will be atUfest 2016, 98Rockfest, Welcome To Rockville, Fort Rock, Carolina Rebellion, Northern Invasion, Rock On The Range, and Rocklahoma. They will be going out on tour very soon with Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge, and Saint Asonia!

Activist Jaggi Singh Pleads Not Guilty After Arrest Related to Quebec City Protests
Police Say Singh Impersonated Former Quebec Nordiques Player
Activist Jaggi Singh pleaded not guilty to charges of impersonation and obstruction of justice in Quebec City municipal court Wednesday morning. He has since been released on conditions that include staying away from the National Assembly, keeping the peace, and paying a $250 bail.
Last update at 7:06 p.m.
The charges are in connection with his activities during anti-fascist counter protests on Aug. 20, where after being detained, Singh jokingly identified himself to police officers as Michel Goulet—a former left-winger for the Quebec Nordiques.
Singh, who also works as a researcher for the Quebec Public Interest Research Group at Concordia, was arrested Tuesday morning and represented himself in court. A crowd of about 20 people also came outside to show their support and protest against the charges.
Crown prosecutor Marie-Hélène Guillemette was initially against his release Wednesday morning, but later decided to release him on a number of conditions.
One condition asked that he be fingerprinted, but Singh opposed this and through negotiation was able to have that condition dropped. A condition to not allow Singh in the Quebec City region was also renegotiated to only apply for the area around the National Assembly.
"It's ludicrous, nobody actually believed I was impersonating him. It was a joke. But they used all of that to inconvenience me for two days," said Singh over the phone Wednesday evening.
On Aug. 20, hundreds of counter-protesters gathered around Quebec City's National Assembly in an attempt to push the far-right group La Meute out of the city. La Meute had made plans to protest against the influx of migrants crossing the border into Quebec that day.
Some counter-protesters marching against La Meute used a number of violent tactics, and vandalised the city. Some of those acts were committed by masked individuals who allegedly came from Montreal.
Singh helped organize the Montreal contingent, though he insists that it's unfair to identify him as the sole leader of any particular group. Singh also argues that the whole thing has been blown out of proportion.
"It was a completely exaggerated response to what will turn out to be pretty minor charges," he said. "I think there's a lot of racism that plays into it as well. To be an outspoken person of colour, speaking about these issues in Quebec City, I think that explains some of the over reaction."
Singh will make his next court appearance on Sept. 6. He says he plans to represent himself again, and says he'll be filing a "very detailed" disclosure request against the Quebec City police.
Quebec City police also said in court on Wednesday that those who participated in a section of the protest that they had declared illegal could face arrest for the various acts they committed.

The 1968 film of the Pierre Boule novel about astronauts stranded in the future when the world is ruled by apes who have taken over from self destructive humans. Apes replicate the cruelty of humans by treating humans as mute slaves lower down the evolutionary ladder. Astronaut Charlton Heston is captured and then escapes with the help of sympathetic simians who show him archaeological remains of hi-tech humanity. Heston finds the Statue of Liberty on a deserted beach, symbol of a post apocalyptic future.
This is a gripping sci-fi film. It has tensions between the cynical Heston and the more idealistic astronauts. It has satirically inverted role play between simians and humans: the apes replicate human vanity and cruelty vis a vis the rest of nature, this is down right Swiftian. There are no special effects to get in the way, so we can follow Heston through this nightmarish dystopia in an austere setting like the Palaeolithic era. The first sight of the apes on horseback is quite scary and novel, and it's nice to see the tables turned on predatory humans. There are good satirical points made at the expense of fear-induced taboo, racism, and self serving arguments for caste arrogance over a slave culture. It makes us uneasy as it exposes the arbitrary symbol mongering of our rituals. The ape settlement appears to be a sort of visionary anthropological experiment. The caged humans are like a stage set for do-it-yourself performance art..
The film could have tried to make the Simian world more alien. At times it looks like a Western in fancy dress, and of course there has to be a love interest between hero Charlton Heston and one of the captives. This film was made in the same year as 2001, by contrast it wants its astronauts to be old fashioned heroes rather than the cerebral astronauts of Kubrik's film. Interesting to see that humourless monument, Charlton Heston, playing a cynic who becomes a hero in spite of himself.
Planet of the Apes seems to have become something of a sci-fi template setter: the horsemen in Zardoz wear masks and remind us of the apemen on horseback, there are naked plebs threatening a tyrannical social order, there is the clinching monument that symbolizes catastrophe and dystopia. Here it's the Statue of Liberty, in Logans' Run it's the Washington memorials. Not a discarded supermarket trolley in sight!

Wine 101
My Compass
Muscat Canelli
Wine Details
$15.99 per bottle
" A fan favorite in our winery's retail shop, this wine makes a refreshing aperitif. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Muscat Canelli is always very aromatic and floral with inviting aromas of ripe pear and ginger spice. Its sweet and fruity flavors are balanced by its light, refreshing and elegant quality. The Muscat's crisp style makes it a great pairing with Asian foods." -Bob Bertheau, Winemaker
Varietal Definition
Muscat, thought to be one of the oldest grape varieties, is grown worldwide. It is vinified in a multitude of styles, from still to sparkling, and dry to sweet to fortified. Also called Moscato, Moscatel and Muskateller, it is a sweetly aromatic, fruity grape that has many genetic variations and colors. It probably originated in Greece but maybe the independent sultanate of Muscat in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula had something to do with it. Over 200 different varieties and derivatives to the Muscat family exist today. Muscat Canelli, Orange Muscat and Black Muscat are varieties most planted in California, which makes primarily still wine. More unusual is Muscat fermented to total dryness, which leaves greater alcohol levels and no residual sugar. Some Muscats are aged in oak to provide additional complexity.Today's recommended Muscats represent many of these styles, so use the tasting notes and percent of residual sugar - listed if provided by the winery - to find a wine you'll enjoy. The more sugar and the lower the alcohol, the sweeter the wine, though wines above 10 percent alcohol can also be somewhat sweet.
Muscat Canelli
Known by many names, this grape's official French name is Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, which translates as 'Muscat with small berries'. In California, the name Muscat Canelli is common, derived from Moscato di Canelli, a name used in Italy. In the northern hemisphere this late-ripening variety is mainly used to make semi-sweet and sweet dessert wines, or as a table grape. Grown in many countries, including Austria and Germany (Muskateller), Hungary (Muscat Lunel), and France (Muscat Frontignan), it may be the oldest known grape, confirmed as growing around the Mediterranean for centuries. However, it should not be confused with Muscat of Alexandria, a grape with a similar ancient history in the same region.

During the campaign, President Donald Trump promised over and over again that Mexico would pay for his proposed border wall.
Mexico will pay for the wall!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2016
But now that he's president, Trump has to grapple with the reality that Mexico has no interest in helping him out — and instead of dropping the idea, Trump's new plan is to make U.S. taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars on a project that border agents don't think is necessary and that costs the equivalent of about 500 elementary schools.
In recent days, the president and other White House officials have indicated that Trump is willing to shut down the federal government unless he gets $1.6 billion from Congress for a down payment.
During the White House press briefing on Thursday, reporters asked Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders how the Trump administration can reconcile Trump's campaign rhetoric with his current suggestion that, if American taxpayers don't ultimately pony up for the wall, he'll shut down the government.
But Sanders completely dodged the questions, and instead talked about how Trump "is committed to making sure this gets done."
"We're going to continue to push forward and make sure that the wall gets built," she said.
At another point, when Sanders was asked why Trump no longer promises that Mexico is going to pay for the wall, she replied that "he hasn't said they're not either."
Reporter on shutdown threat: "He's not saying that Mexico is going to pay for [border wall]."
Sanders: "He hasn't said they're not either." pic.twitter.com/geQruX3ut3
— CBS News (@CBSNews) August 24, 2017
The White House wants you to believe that a border wall is a national security necessity, but Trump's conversation with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto indicates otherwise. A transcript of a late January call between the two leaders that was recently leaked to the Washington Post indicates that, for Trump, building a wall is all about saving face politically.
During that January 27 conversation, Trump characterized the wall as "the least important thing that we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important [thing we] talk about."
When Nieto indicated his government has no interest in helping Trump fulfill his campaign promise by paying for a wall, Trump said he understood but couldn't say so publicly, and urged Nieto to do the same.
"You cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall," Trump told Nieto. "I am just going to say that we are working it out."

And with the choice to depart from or fly to several thousand airport locations, a jet charter flight service suddenly seems so appealing.
Otro Servisio Nan Ofrece
Pa Medio Di Midí For Di Un Je Privá Charter
Bashí di e firma di un Je Privá Charter
Duná, private jets are largely similar to commercial aircraft in terms of actual flight time required to reach a certain destination. But the real benefits of using a heavy jet charter becomes apparent when one considers the ability to fly even to remote locations. With chartered flights, one can fly on their own schedule to and from small private airfields or large metropolitan airports.
This comes with the convenience of not having to switch planes, which would require prior coordination of the sometimes conflicting flying schedules. One also doesn't have to deal with the hassles of baggage, layovers in crowded airports, not to mention the dread of delayed/cancelled flights.
The amenities on private jets are simply miles apart from those available on commercial flights. Generally, the client can expect catering and entertainment, sumptuous sitting and the ability to get up to stretch one's legs. And because privacy is guaranteed, one could either conduct business or simply choose to relax. The passenger is also in complete control of their flight experience, with the only people sharing the space being the invited guests, if any.
With a chartered jet, one gets to travel in the company of people they're well familiar with. The risk of lost or mishandled luggage is almost non-existent. Besides undergoing thorough vetting by the charter company, the crew members also receive extensive training on flight operations and passenger handling.
How Much Does a Heavy Jet Charter Flight Service Cost?
Travel costs are usually determined by the choice of destination along with other factors like waiting time, overnight charges and the number of passengers in the flight. Sinembargo, prices tend to increase during periods of peak demand. Return plans should also be taken to account; if one is planning a one-way flight, they'll often be charged for the plane's return journey.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Riverhounds signed midfielder Danny Earls for the remainder of the 2016 season on a one-year deal.
Earls played for the Hounds in 2014 and 2015, making 52 appearances and scoring 4 goals for Pittsburgh. Danny's contributions came mostly on the defensive end, playing as a holding midfielder right in front of the back line. He became a fan favorite for his tough tackles and high energy; his return is welcomed to the team, who has struggled in 2016 so far. He also served as team captain, showing leadership with relentless effort and unwavering toughness.
Earls joins the Hounds ahead of the return of fellow midfielder Rob Vincent, who will join Pittsburgh for a one-game loan Saturday night against Charleston. Danny, though, will not be ready for the game Saturday, so there will be no reunion with Vincent.
He will, however, be able to team up again with Kevin Kerr when Danny returns to the field. The pair, combined with Vincent, made a strong midfield for Pittsburgh the past two seasons, with Danny covering the two as they swept forward to create chances.

Stay Up To Date, Follow KDKA On Twitter
Earls has not been playing so far in 2016, but there were rumors he was going to rejoin the Rochester Rhinos, the USL team he played for before Pittsburgh. Danny also played in the MLS, winning a championship with the Colorado Rapids in 2010.
The Hounds return to action Saturday when they host the Charleston Battery at Highmark Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff. Pittsburgh is coming off a loss to New York last Saturday and is looking to get back to winning ways.
With the return of Earls and Vincent, though for one game in Rob's case, the front office is trying to bring back some positivity to the squad — something there has been little of in 2016 for Pittsburgh. With a record of 1-5-3, the Hounds sit second from bottom in the East. There is a lot of time left in the USL season, and Pittsburgh has two games in hand on most teams in the league.

The best thing about graduating from college or university is that you have the whole world at your disposal. What better time to move to a new place for a fresh start? Yes, bigger cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are great – but there are plenty of other amazing places in the USA that are just as exciting (and much kinder to our wallets). Read on to find out what places you could find yourself living in and loving.
Providence, Rhode Island
Technically, Providence can be considered a "college town" because of its ties to Brown University and other nearby schools. Or at least, it used to be – because today, the city's global feel doesn't rely on its surrounding schools and it's a great post-college haven. If you love history, you'll love the chance to study Providence's place in America in person. If you love food (and who doesn't?), you'll love exploring the city's burgeoning food scene. Just ask anybody who has tried coffee milk!
Nashville, Tennessee
A big city with a small town feel. Musicians and artists have always gravitated to Nashville (it is called Music City, after all!) but many millennials are taking residence in the heart of country music. The result is great food, great art, and more culture – some of which provides a very different alternative to the traditional country music scene. Plus, Tennessee barbeque whenever you have the urge? Yes please!
Wilmington, Delaware
Any city with tax-free shopping is a perfect fit for us! Not only do you have easy access to wine country and major urban attractions. But Wilmington is a great place to move to if you're worried about finding post-college work. The state of Delaware leads in scientific research and more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated here, so the job prospects for twenty-somethings look good in the first state of the nation. And no, you don't need to cross the river George Washington-style to get there.
Portland, Oregon
The city's unofficial motto is "Keep Portland Weird." If you're looking for a place to let your flag fly – this is it! Yes, it gets a little chilly and there's a little bit of rain. But the culture in Portland is the perfect mix of urban and indie all tied up with a great sense of community. For the spontaneous, Portland is the kind of place you can move to first and look for a job in later. The unemployment rate is lower than most major U.S. cities, making the Oregon city a safe place to find your professional footing.
Austin, Texas
Whatever you're imagining when you think of Texas, stop it – Austin is nothing like the Texas you've seen in movies. The city has grown in popularity thanks to South by Southwest (SXSW). So, it's no surprise that Austin is called the "Live Music Capital of the World." But don't think that this city is just about music. Austin has world-class shopping, global museums, and plenty of outdoor activities to keep busy. Plus, where else are you able to get any kind of food in taco form?
Denver, Colorado
If you're interested in the tech industry but don't want to venture out to Silicon Valley quite yet, contact this denver realtor as they might just have your ideal home on their books. The city's "young and educated" population has grown 47% since 2000, and no – it's not just because marijuana is legal. Denver has equal access to nature and to urban fixtures. So, the hardest decision you'll have to make on a Saturday is whether to spend it in the mountains or in a microbrewery.

We spent the week of 7/1-8 sailing off the coast of Croatia on a catamaran with another family. It was an amazing trip, made possible by our outstanding Captain Ivan Lokica. Ivan knows the area extremely well and made sure we visited the best places to swim, eat, hike. He was amazing with our three teenage kids, they probably would have chosen to live with him on the boat if we let them. This was a definite repeat for us, a great way to spend a week sailing on the truly beautiful Adriatic. Ask for Ivan, he's the best.
