Snyder Police Awaiting Official Cause of Lufkin Man's Death
By: Snyder Daily News
Updated: March 29, 2012
Thomas Colbert, 47, died in the street Monday after what police describe as a "minor physical altercation" with another man at the California Apartments.
Police have not released the name of the other subject involved in the altercation. An autopsy was performed Tuesday and police are waiting on an official ruling on the cause of death.
"He was a real sweet guy who was liked by everyone," said JoAnn Montes, Colbert's supervisor at the Cherokee County Workshop.
Colbert was slightly mentally disabled, Montes said, and had been a worker with the home for the mentally disabled for 26 years. He worked on outside crews, picking up litter and mowing.
Despite his disability, those who knew Colbert -- who lived in a motel in Lufkin -- said he was never sick and had always been healthy.
Montes said the idea that Colbert was in a fight was hard to believe.
"That's what surprised us," she said. "He was the type to go the other way."
Montes and others in Lufkin were shocked to hear of Colbert's death, which happened in Snyder while he was visiting his sister. It was just the second time in the past 26 years that Colbert had seen her, and he planned to stay for three weeks to visit.
One of his co-workers took him to the bus stop on Friday for the ride to Scurry County. His death came just a few days after his arrival.
"That's what blew our minds -- he just left Friday afternoon," Montes said. "We are freaked out."

Ok so I'm using theplanet's cloud storage on a theplanet cloud server running centos 5 and using cloudnas to connect to cloud storage. ThePlanet's modified version of cloudnas apparently uses /nirvanix as the data directory instead of /nirvanix/[account name]. I have set up pure-ftpd such that /nirvanix/testuser is the home directory for an ftp account (I had to chmod 777 the "testuser" directory to get pure-ftpd to be able to read/write in that directory).
the pure-ftpd setup actually works pretty well. When I connect using the testuser account, I can see files in that directory, upload new files, rename existing files, create directories, and delete directories over FTP with no issue.
The problem is when I try to delete a file (using FileZilla on windows 7), I get the following response from the server:
Command: DELE test image.gifResponse: 550 Could not delete test image.gif: Invalid argument
If I refresh the file listing, "test image.gif" gets renamed to ".pureftpd-rename.32673.a898a70b" but does not get deleted. The same happens for all other files when I try to delete them (obviously the random numbers/letters are different, though).
I'm pretty sure this isn't a permissions issue because I had already chmodded the whole directory to 777, and if it were, why would uploads, downloads, and renames all work?
I think it has something to do with the way cloudnas caches files. I tried disabling the cache and restarting cloudnas, but I still have the same issue with deleting files over ftp.
I need to figure out whether this is a cloudnas-related issue or a pure-ftpd related issue. If its a problem with my pure-ftpd setup, I'll ask in the appropriate forums on another site. Just want to verify that this isn't some limitation of cloudnas.
FYI I am using mysql-based authentication with pure-ftpd, following this tutorial to the letter except where it deals with home directories:
thanks for any help :)
Thank you for the detailed report. We haven't done extensive testing of pure-ftpd so I'm not sure where the problem is. I will do some tests today to see if i can reproduce your issue.
the system log provides a little more information... here is what happens in the system log when I try to delete a file:
Jul 1 13:57:31 hostname117865 CloudNAS: [4]Warning: GetPathStatus: Path=/testuser/.pureftpd-rename.588.af0cc336 Response=2 Nirvanix Response PathNotFound, Path [/testuser/.pureftpd-rename.588.af0cc336] not found.Jul 1 13:57:32 hostname117865 CloudNAS: [3]: [588] 270ms RenamePath: NewPath=/testuser/.pureftpd-rename.588.af0cc336 Path=/testuser/test image.gif
Interestlingly, here is what happens when I rename a file, which does work, but seems to create some interesting errors in the log:
Jul 1 13:36:41 hostname117865 CloudNAS: [3]Warning: GetPathStatus: Path=/testuser/testform2.pdf Response=2 Nirvanix Response PathNotFound, Path [/testuser/testform2.pdf] not found.Jul 1 13:36:41 hostname117865 CloudNAS: [2]Warning: GetPathStatus: Path=/testuser/testform2.pdf Response=2 Nirvanix Response PathNotFound, Path [/testuser/testform2.pdf] not found.Jul 1 13:36:41 hostname117865 CloudNAS: [1]: [32462] 53ms RenamePath: NewPath=/testuser/testform2.pdf Path=/testuser/testform.pdfJul 1 13:36:41 hostname117865 pure-ftpd: (email@example.com) [NOTICE] File successfully renamed or moved: [testform.pdf]->[testform2.pdf]
based on the logs my theory is that pure-ftpd does two things when it deletes a file. First it renames the file to a .pureftpd-rename.[random digits] file. Then it tries to delete it. In the logs what looks like is happening is pure-ftpd goes to rename the file, and then instantly tries to delete it before receiving any sort of confirmation that the file was renamed. I hope there is something I can do about this.
I have reproduced the problem and it looks like you are right about the rename / delete before confirmation. I am looking to see if there is any way to change that behavior and deal with the issue. We have seen this issue in the past where certain programs expect a level of performance and when that isn't honored they fail. Often this can be seen when the same application is pointed at network drives.
I found something interesting, if you do not authenticate through the mysql database it doesn't exhibit the issue. Below is the config file I am using that does not show the problem.
This is based on the standard config and setup to allow an anonymous user to login and delete with the folder and files all set to 777. (please do not use this on a production system its completely unlocked for anonymous). Let me know if this helps, I'm not certain why the mysql config I am using has the error but it could be something to do with the time it takes to authentication the security for the deletion.
Very interesting. My setup is actually using pure-ftpd (not proftpd... I also got the two confused a bunch of different times when I was doing my initial setup)... did I say proftpd by accident? I apologize if that is the case.
Interesting that the same issue occurs across both programs. I take it you are able to rename / move files, but when you delete you get the invalid argument thing as well?
Maybe I could set up some sort of proxy that intercepts incoming ftp commands and handles the DELE command directly instead of passing it on to pure-ftpd. Most of my development experience is windows specific, so doing so would be rather difficult. Maybe I could just modify the pure-ftpd source code directly
By the way any idea what the proper way would be for me to give pure-ftpd permissions to access /nirvanix? I don't know how to set multiple users as the owner for a file / directory in linux, so I ended up chmodding the whole directory to 777, which I gather is insecure? The account pure-ftpd runs under is set up with very limited access... would having a directory with 777 that it has access to make the system vulnerable? I won't be using anonymous FTP, but I still dont want my users to be able to get into the shell or execute files on the server (like somehow run shell scripts) or anything like that.
the reason I need mysql authentication is because I need very detailed bandwidth and tracking information on all my users.. if that is possible with normal authentication, I could go that route. It looks like pure-ftpd dumps everything in /var/log/pure-ftpd.log anyway, so maybe my php scripts could just read that for bandwidth data. As long as the accounts are created / deleted from some sort of config file, my php scripts could modify that as well instead of doing SQL queries.
Very peculiar that SQL auth has this sort of effect, particularly considering that it ONLY seems to affect file deletion, not directory deletion, or file moving / uploading / creation / renaming.
DuroSoft:By the way any idea what the proper way would be for me to give pure-ftpd permissions to access /nirvanix?

You will want to setup groups with groupadd and then assign the group of the destination files / folders. Then you just give group permissions to the files. After that you can assign the user to that group and they will inherit the permissions set on the files.
From the pure-ftpd source:
What we do here may look a bit strange. It's to defend against * change-after-stat attacks. If we simply do lstat(name), then unlink(name) * there's a race. An attacker can rename the file between these two * system calls, so that a big file is lstat()ed, but a dummy tiny file is * unlinked. That way, an attacker could easily get extra quota. * To defend against this attack, we rename the file to an unique dot-file * (an atomic operation) . People subject to quotas can't access dot-files. * So we can securely stat it and unlink it. Having the pid in the file * name should be enough to avoid that two concurrent sessions create the * same temporary file. But to be paranoid to the extreme, we add some * random number to that.
So it seems this is a way to prevent a race condition that allows users to exceed their quota. I'm not sure how that helps but at least its understood why the action is taking place.
The good news about my misunderstanding of the pro vs pure is that I went back and tried playing with the mysql implementation and managed to get it working. I'm not sure if this solves your problem but it may provide a secondary avenue for you to try. I was able to get delete working in proftpd after changing my settings back while using mysql for the users.
** EDIT: I used this guide and it worked for me perfectly: http://www.howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting **
so what settings were you able to get pro-ftpd to work with? [edit: nevermind, saw the link]
I won't be needing pure-ftpd-managed quotas, so is there a way I can disable that feature in pure-ftpd? I have already tried enabling/disabling the atomic renaming option in the config, and that doesn't seem to make a difference.
If it works with proftpd, I could just use that.
I started fresh with the default config and changed it according to the second page of the link I sent: http://www.howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting_p2
I think I must have changed the security previously which was giving me an error on delete and it was not the same error as the one pure-ftpd was showing.
works flawlessly -- thanks so much!

Actuarial Equity
Definition of 'Actuarial Equity'The calculation of an insurance premium based on crucial factors such as the applicant's age, gender, health, family history and the type of insurance coverage applied for. This allows insurers to treat applicants fairly according to their estimated risk levels. |
Investopedia explains 'Actuarial Equity'In automobile insurance, insurers use age as a rating factor in determining individual premiums. Thus, because young people tend to have less favorable driving records as a group, these individuals are required to pay out more in premiums, which normally include the expected value of losses. |

I have suffered from acne off and on from my teens. I would be on something and it'd clear up but then soon break out again. Minocyclene worked well but I became immune to it. My dermatologist recommendd spiriolactane, which made my skin worse then ever, the he gave me bactrim. I read several reviews on the bad side effects but thought "I've never had a reaction to any kind of drug, so I'll be fine" well I was wrong..4 weeks after taking the drug (1 pill twice a day) I am currently sitting in a hospital bed with a rash from my hair to my toes. I'm on my second night and have no idea when I will be released.. It has now infected my liver.I have never been in so much pain in my life. Please take this post seriously and do NOT think it "can't happen to you." bc I am proof that it can. It did help clear my acne, and as depressing and embarrassing as acne is, your health is not worth it. I promise you will regret it
I took this pill for about a month. I switched to it from minocycline. I immediately saw amazing results. My skin was perfect. Unfortunately, I found out I am severely allergic to this pill. My liver inflamed and I was almost hospitalized.
I am disappointed that I am allergic to it because it worked so well.
It took months of consistent use before I finally noticed any changes. It did eventually get rid of my acne. However, I had to consistently use it for it to work. But the issue is that it's not healthy to be using this long term because it's an antibiotic. Not only this but a few months after you are done using it, it flare right back up. The longest I went without having to use it was 6 months. Eventually I noticed cysts coming back. Overall I would say that it's a waste of money and there are better solutions out there.
Kills bacteria, prevents cysts, does not clear acne.
I would recommend if you're trying to maintain your active acne.
By no means is this a miracle pill.
I spent 3 days in hospital as a result of these meds. I was put on 600mg by my dermatologist and did't get the reaction until 7 days in to the treatment.
My skin had actually started to look a tad clearer but it obviously isn't worth the risks as I was tested for Meningitus, SJS and other diseases.
I went to the doctor for some problems non-acne related. I was put on Criprofloxacin, turned out I was allergic and was rushed to ER. After all that, I was then put on Bactrim. Well, all of sudden my acne started clearing and up and I wasn't getting new pimples or anything. I go Acne.org and found out Bactrim could be used for acne. That was a surprise to me and my mother. :D
I find this a very helpful drug. Although a few days in and I began experiencing extreme heat flashes and i did sweat more when exercising, I'm a guy so it cant be anything nature related. also another thing i experienced was extreme lightheadedness and it doesn't cooperate with soft drinks very much. also when reading about things that can occur like steven-johnson syndrome it is very unlikely so dint worry unless you get exxtreme symptoms... but it works very well!!!
I was really excited to try this medication given the glowing reviews of my new dermatologist and the fact that I've been given every other antibiotic under the sun. I only had a few cysts when I started the medicine. I had great success with doxycycline, but the effects wore off and if anything, my acne has only worsened over time using antibiotics. I'm extremely disappointed because Bactrim left my skin broken out all over the place, with huge painful cysts and nodules. My derm thinks it may have caused an overgrowth of resistant bacteria, but she is confirming that with a culture swab. Now I am left to try Accutane at the age of 27, and I'm completely frightened, but going to go through with it. I tried natural methods of clearing acne as well, for many years, and nothing has been able to clear me. I would say, stick to the tetracycline family for acne and do not venture into these extreme antibiotics...they may only disrupt your flora and cause super-infections. :(
with in the first few days it cleared all the tiny little bumps on my forehead! and i was excited but it didnt nothing for the rest of my face and now the bumps on my forehead are back and the rest of my skin has just gotten worse. im so disappointed because i saw so many great reviews on this! I'm gonna keep taking this though. I've been using it for a little over 2 weeks i think
I only took this for 3 months but it did a decent job while I took it. I had horribly, huge cysts (half dollar size) and this helped with all the infection. All my cysts went down in size. Even more awesome, I didn't get yeast infections while on this.
I still ended up on Accutane but this helped out a lot while I waited to get on Accutane.
Thank you for your report.
We will process it shortly.

Films by "Groupe 5" and young Swiss filmmakers in Brazil
Fifteen feature film productions from French-speaking Switzerland will be showcased in the "Além das Fronteiras: o Cinema Suiço" (Beyond the borders: Swiss filmmaking) programme in Rio de Janeiro (May 24 - June 5, 2011) and in São Paulo (May 31 - June 12, 2011). Swiss film directors Jeanne Waltz and Frédéric Mermoud will be present at the screening of this Swiss film series organised by SWISS FILMS in collaboration with the Brazilian Association "3moinhos produçoes."
The programme spans works by the New Swiss Cinema - whose eminent filmmakers include Alain Tanner, Claude Goretta and Michel Soutter - and by the young generation of filmmakers in French-speaking Switzerland who draw on works by the legendary "Groupe 5."
Four films by Alain Tanner will be screened in the Brazilian metropolises: "La salamander" (1971); "Le milieu du monde" (1974); "Jonas qui aura 25 ans en l'an 2000" (1976); and "Dans la ville blanche" (1983). Two feature films "L'invitation" (1973) and "La dentellière" (1976) by Claude Goretta are also in the programme, as well as Michel Soutter's "Repérages" (1977) and Yves Yersin's "Les Petites Fugues" (1979).
The programme also comprises seven film productions by young Swiss directors whose works echo their predecessors' luminous period of Swiss filmmaking in the seventies: two works by Lionel Baier - "Comme des voleurs" (2006) and "Un autre homme" (2008) - as well as two works by Ursula Meier - "Des épaules solides" (2002) and "Home" (2008). In addition, Frédéric Choffat's "La vraie vie est ailleurs" (2006), Jeanne Waltz's "Pas douce" (2007) and Frédéric Mermoud's "Complices" (2009).
Jeanne Waltz and Frédéric Mermoud will travel to Rio de Janeiro to present their films personally to the audience and also offer young film students a Master class. The programme is a part of the activities organised by SWISS FILMS, the film promotion agency, has developed in Latin America since 2010.

No apology from New Zealand prime minister John Key over jibe that David Beckham is 'thick'
- November 05, 2012
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Monday insisted he did not owe soccer star David Beckham an apology after reportedly describing the former England captain as "thick".
Key allegedly made the remark on Friday when telling school students in Dunedin about the time he and his son had spent with the LA Galaxy player in 2008, Radio New Zealand reported.
The national broadcaster said Key described Beckham as handsome and "a really nice guy" but "thick".
Key refused to confirm or deny making the comment on Monday and told talkback radio he did not owe anyone an apology, suggesting the conversation may have been misheard.
"That is someone that thinks they've overheard a conversation I've had," he told Newstalk ZB.
"It was a private conversation. I was talking to a few people and that's what he (the reporter) thought he heard."
Beckham visited New Zealand in 2008 for an exhibition match between the LA Galaxy and the Oceania All-Stars in Auckland.

PREP BOYS BASKETBALL: MLA mauls Nicollet
MOUNTAIN LAKE — Carter Kirk used all of his 6-foot-7 frame to rack up 26 points, 14 rebounds and swat away five shots to lead the Mountain Lake Area Wolverines to a dominant 81-37 win over the Nicollet Raiders during a Class A Boys Basketball Section 2 Southern Division Tournament quarterfinal game Monday.By: Jordan Willi, Worthington Daily Globe
MOUNTAIN LAKE — Carter Kirk used all of his 6-foot-7 frame to rack up 26 points, 14 rebounds and swat away five shots to lead the Mountain Lake Area Wolverines to a dominant 81-37 win over the Nicollet Raiders during a Class A Boys Basketball Section 2 Southern Division Tournament quarterfinal game Monday.
"I feel like we played well as a team," Kirk said. "It wasn't one or two people scoring all the points, it was everyone contributing. We were also able to take care of the ball and play strong defense."
The Wolverines came out ready to play early in the first half, scoring eight straight points in the first 2 minutes before the Raiders made their first shot of the game.
"They are a good team and they are No. 1 for a reason," Nicollet coach Craig Schafer said. "They are extremely strong inside, even stronger than we expected them to be."
Before Nicollet knew what hit them, Mountain Lake Area was up 29-6 with 7:44 remaining in the first half.
"I felt that we came out better than we did in past few games," MLA center Josiah Stoesz said. "We wanted to come out strong in this game and keep our intensity up. I feel like we did that tonight."
Andrew Hempeck, Stoesz and Kirk combined for 20 of the Wolverines' first 29 points in the opening half, with all of their shots coming from inside the lane.
"We were able to pound the offensive boards tonight and get a lot of points off of that," MLA head coach Shawn Naas said. "We could do that because we moved the ball, offensively, and got Nicollet out of position. Then, we were able to get the ball to our big guys for the basket."
The Wolverines won the rebounding battle 47-19.
Nicollet gained some life halfway through the first half when Dalton Rosin scored eight points within a 2-minute span to lead the Raiders on a 9-4 run and cut the Wolverines lead to 16.
"Getting them to turn the ball over was the big thing," Naas said. "However, we were turning the ball back over and weren't converting on all of our chances. We have to be able to convert on those opportunities."
However, MLA went on a run of its own, outscoring Nicollet 12-4 in the final 5 minutes to take a 45-21 lead at halftime.
"I don't question our effort at all, because we were outmatched and we just got outplayed tonight," Schafer said. "I'm proud of our kids and I feel they played their hardest. We did all we could against a really good team that is going to do things here in the playoffs."
In the second half, the Wolverines ramped up their intensity even more, scoring 27 points before the Raiders were able to break the 30-point mark.
"We got stops on defense and were able to go down and score off those stops, which led to our early lead," Stoesz said. "Everyone was doing their part and playing defense as well as making shots down low."
Mountain Lake Area cruised the rest of the way, allowing Nicollet to score just five more points in the final 9 minutes.
Nicollet finished the season 4-18 and will graduate three seniors including Rosin, Travis Bode and Evan Guffey.
"I told our guys that, if they play their hardest and give their all, they can hold their heads high," Schafer said. "You can't win them all and sometimes it is a good lesson to get pounded once in a while by another team."
The Wolverines (21-5) advanced to the Southern Division semifinals and will face Mankato Loyola at 6 p.m. Thursday at St. James Area High School.
"If we keep playing like this and stay mistake-free, we have a good shot of making a run in the playoffs," Kirk said. "But we have to take it one game at a time."

As if I wasn't going to make an animated GIF of this.
The Wife, via iMessage
In case it was in any way unclear, this is not a compliment.
The Boy (10): "Have you ever considered having another kid? Like giving me a brother?"
Me: "Well, yeah, we thought about it. Why do you ask?"
The Boy: "I've been thinking about that a lot today."
Me: "Why have you been thinking about that a lot today?"
The Boy: "Because it turns out that it's illegal to own a boxing kangaroo."
Say ahhhh! So, The Boy has not been feeling well the last few days, so I took him to the doctor this morning. We went through a few books and were still waiting. I asked him what he wanted to read next. "Give me that Parents magazine. I want to see how you're doing."
Say ahhhh! So, The Boy has not been feeling well the last few days, so I took him to the doctor this morning. We went through a few books and were still waiting. I asked him what he wanted to read next.
"Give me that Parents magazine. I want to see how you're doing."
The Wife took him to his appointment, and I picked him up because she had to go to her doctor's appointment.
Driving home with The Boy (after he had just found out he had strep), he said "Mom told me that when you had strep, it knocked you out for a week!"
Me: "Oh, she did, did she?"
Him: "Yeah. I didn't even know I had it. It just feels like a lump in my throat."
Me: "AH! see, now when I had strep, it felt like I was swallowing knives! I had the really painful kind of strep. It sounds like you have the easy kind."
Him: "Actually, when I swallow it is a little pointy… but that's only like once every minute or so."
Love that kid.
Remember that adorable story about how sweet my kid is and how he covered me with his blanket on Monday morning?
And remember how Steve tried to suggest that it might have been the dog?!
(If not, read them both here.)
(As if!)
Well, let's return to Monday night, just around The Boy's Bedtime, EDT.
"Dad, I can't find my second blanket…"
(Did I mention he sleeps with 4 blankets? Even in the summer? I blame The Wife's thin blood and the fact that he was manufactured and born in Florida.)
"Which one is the second one? The Steelers' one?"
"It's still on my bed from this morning…"
"…This morning?"
"Remember when mom took you to school so I could sleep in? Didn't you put that blanket on me?"
"No… I think it must have been the dog."
"Dammit, Steve!"
"Take your blanket and go to bed."
Me: "Did you see that picture I posted? How sweet is that? He covered me with his blanket!"
The Wife: "I think that was the dog."
Me: "Oh shut up, it was not."
It's tough being the only romantic in a world full of Muggles…
Nuff said.
Please send The Boy all your good vibes.
All of them! He will return them as soon as he's done with them.
(He has gone 4x/week for months and worked really hard, so I don't think it will be a problem, but I never count my chickens before they hatch. I mean, if I had any chickens. which I don't. As far as I know.)
The Boy is back on WWF if anyone would like a 9-year-old challenger.
All I ask is that you not be too explicit (his mother checks the IMs that he sends/receives and she will totally kick your ass) and that you try not to crush him by 200+ points on every game :-)
Holy crap it's Lindsay's birthday! Happy Birthday Lindsay!!!! Love, The Tjs
Holy crap it's Lindsay's birthday!
Happy Birthday Lindsay!!!!
Love, The Tjs
I have no idea what's going on in this picture, but I'm adding a second Favorite Thing for today, because look at the goofy ass look of pure joy on that kid's face and tell me I'm not the luckiest sumbitch in all the land?
The Wife just got back from taking The Boy to the doctor's office (again).
He has a sinus infection.
And an ear infection.
And, apparently, a high threshold for pain, because he hasn't complained about either of those things.
The only reason he went back to the doctor today was because that cough was annoying me by not going away.
(It's not too early to send in those Father Of The Year Award nominations.)
The Wife told me that one of the medications he's on "might" turn his poop red.
I told The Wife that she was on bathroom duty for the next week. Which, I think you'll agree, it just what anyone wants to hear when they're getting ready to start Spring Break…
The Boy has been asking for about a week if The Puppy can sleep with him at night. The only trick is that he has a loft, which is about 5 feet off the ground, and far too high for The Puppy to get down if he needs to, for example, pee somewhere other than the bed.
But the other night we let him, after making sure The Puppy went out right before bed. We left his bedroom door open so we could hear any signs of "puppy distress".
When I checked on him one last time before going to bed myself, this is what I saw. If you look up near The Boy's head you can see his stuffed beagle (whose name is "Big Puppy") too.
The Boy made himself dinner.
7 mini pancakes, 8 mini-waffles, 6 pieces of bacon, and 3 large chocolate chip pancakes.
At least you know he won't be hungry.
~ True Story ~
The Boy: "What's that key for?"
Me: "It goes to [friends of ours]'s truck."
The Boy: "It's a car key?"
Me: "Yes"
The Boy: "…"
Me: "What's wrong?"
The Boy: "But how do you unlock the doors?"
~ End Scene ~
You know, I realized a long time ago that he had lived in a world where it was always possible to pause television and watch a show multiple times if you had recorded it.
I just didn't realize that he also lived in a world where "car keys" were something you used to turn on the ignition, but not something that he associated with unlocking doors, because, well, that's what the button on the remote does.

Affected market: Wholesale distribution to the food service industry
No. ME/1320/04
Please note that the full text of the decision can be downloaded by using the link on the right. What follows are extracts regarding the parties, the transaction, jurisdiction, assessment and decision.
Please note square brackets indicate figures replaced by a range or excised at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
The OFT's decision on reference under section 22 given on 29 November 2004
Brake Bros Limited (Brakes) is a distribution company supplying food, drink and other products mainly to the catering (or 'foodservice') industry in the UK and France. It provides delivered wholesale and contract logistical services and has its own manufacturing operation.
Peter's Food Service Limited (Peters) is also active in the wholesale distribution of food to the catering industry. In the last financial year, the UK turnover of Peters' wholesale distribution business was […]. Peters also has a manufacturing operation which makes pies, and a van sales division.
On 17 September 2004 Brakes acquired that part of the Peters business – the wholesale distribution business - specialised in the supply of chilled and fresh food products to larger catering customers. Peters is retaining its van sales division and its pie manufacturing operation, which will continue to compete with Brakes after the merger.
The administrative deadline expires on 2 December 2004.
As a result of this transaction Brakes and Peters' wholesale distribution business have ceased to be distinct. The UK turnover of the acquired business exceeds £70 million, so the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is satisfied. The OFT therefore believes that a relevant merger situation has been created.
The parties overlap in the wholesale supply of chilled food to national and local foodservice customers. The merged entity is constrained by competition from the other national players, including 3663, Woodward Foodservice and DBC.
It is also constrained by competition from logistics companies providing contract supply services, such as Exel and Wincanton. Like national wholesalers, these firms have the infrastructure and geographic coverage to compete for national customers.
In addition, national customers have the option of sourcing more of their requirements locally or from regional suppliers.
Third parties were unconcerned by this merger, and none regarded Brakes and Peters as particularly close competitors before the merger.
Consequently, the OFT does not believe that it is or may be the case that the merger has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets in the United Kingdom.
This merger will therefore not be referred to the Competition Commission under section 22(1) of the Act.

This is my first tea from Verdant. Thanks Autumn Hearth for all of these wonderful sounding samples! There's quite a bit more tea here than I expected, I feel like I should have sent more :) My room is currently drowning in teas, teawares, and packaging between my Mandala and YS orders and multiple swaps that all came within the past two days.
This tea is quite vegetal, which usually isn't my thing, but wow! This tea is nice and refreshing with flavors of green bean, bok choy, fenugreek, and clover. It has a nice, creamy mouthfeel with a subtle honey sweetness. Great stuff!
This reminds me (quite a bit) of Adagio's Mei Hua, but fresher and considerably better tasting. They look so similar and have pretty similar taste profiles, I wonder if they use the same processing technique? The Mei Hua is from Fuijian, which I looked up and found to be fairly close to Laoshan, but not especially so.

Google has launched a service that will allow users to search over seven million patents granted in the US.
Under the new patent search facility consumers will be able to view details of copyright granted by the US patent and trademark office to products such as contact lenses and the unicycle.
Software engineer Doug Banks said: "It's a natural extension of our mission to make this public domain government information more easily accessible using Google's search technology."
He added that the search engine company hoped to eventually extend the service to other patent providers.
Users will be able to view patents dating back to 1790 and can search by key words, inventors' names and filing dates.
The service uses the same technology as Google's online book search facility, which allows consumers to scroll through pages and zoom in on text and illustrations.
Earlier this month, the search engine company announced the closure of Answers - the service which let users ask researchers a question on any subject they wished.

Even though they both took a break on putting out new music of their own this year, perhaps because of a little lady named Blue Ivy, Beyonce and Jay-Z are back in the studio, together!
The power couple was spotted and pictured by a member of Timbaland's camp in the studio together, writing up some tracks they hope to lay down later.
We've seen pictures surfacing this year of Beyonce and Jay-Z separately working on new music, but now it looks like Bey-Z fans are going to hear some new `03 Bonnie & Clyde type of hits!
Outside of the studio, Beyonce has been upgrading her fashion game nearly every time that we see her.
She recently posted a new picture to her Instagram of yet another fab ensemble and as usual she looks absolutely stunning.
Wearing white pants with a creative design down the side, Bey put the whole outfit together with a black leather blazer, top and simple stilettos.
It seems things are just going up and up for this diva! We can't wait to hear what her and her hubby cook up in the studio.

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communications, social interactions, and leisure or play activities.
According to a report from the Center for Disease Control in March of 2012, the prevalence of autism has risen to 1 in 88 births in the United States. It affects 1 in 54 boys - five times more often than it affects girls. In the United States, more than 1,500,000 individuals live with autism.
Autism is considered a spectrum disorder because the number and intensity of the symptoms may vary widely. Those severely affected are often withdrawn, dependent on others, and suffer from cognitive impairments. Those with less severe cases are often of above-average intelligence and independent, yet lack in social-communication skills. Autism falls under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). The five disorders under PDD are: Classic Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD), and Rett Syndrome.

As bills move forward in the 2013 Legislature for debate and votes, one item discussed at a legislative video conference seems to be changing.
Rep. Kris Hansen, R-Havre, said last week that bills had been passing 99-0, 98-0 — but people should not expect that to last.
"We haven't offended anybody yet, so it's still going, " she said from Helena during Tuesday's video conference.
But bills now are hitting the floor with more of a party-line slant, including a bill passed Monday with the Havre-area Republican representatives voting for it and the Democratic representative against, and a bill opposed by pro-choice advocates and supported by pro-life advocates passing out of committee with the vote of a local Republican.
That bill, House Bill 104, "Criminalizing offenses involving the death of an unborn child, " passed out of the House Judiciary Committee Friday on a 12-8 vote with Rep. Wendy Warburton, R-Chinook, voting in favor.
Warburton told the Havre Daily News in an email interview Monday that the opposition is misguided.
"It is distressing to see groups that purport to be 'women's activism groups' and yet oppose bills such as this, which protect justice for women, their children, and their families when those women are the victims of violent crimes, " she said in the email.
She added that groups could have proposed their own bill on the subject, and that the sponsor "bent over backward to ensure to make it as fair and reasonable to all concerned as possible. "
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Keith Regier, R-Kalispell, defines an unborn child as a human who has been conceived and not yet born, and adds that term to the definition of deliberate homicide and mitigated homicide. The bill originally excluded emergency medical care and lawful medical procedures from the definition of homicide, but has been amended.
The bill as amended now prohibits prosecution of a person when an abortion is performed with the consent of the mother, a person when medical treatment is provided for the mother or her unborn child and the mother in the case of her unborn child's death.
Kim Leighton, program director with NARAL Pro-Choice Montana, said in a release after the committee vote, that the attempt to insert "unborn child" into Montana's criminal code, adds to political overtones into the discussion of protecting pregnant women from violence. It will create a "floodgate of tension between Montana law and the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that protects a woman's right to make personal, private medical decisions, " she said.
"Lawmakers should take strong steps to protect women and must recognize the unique tragedy suffered by a woman whose pregnancy is lost or harmed as a result of violence, " Leighton said. "Unfortunately, House Bill 104 simply is not about prosecuting those who would harm a pregnant woman; rather, its focus lies entirely on inserting abortion rhetoric into our state criminal code. The true goal of this legislation is clear: entangle the state unnecessarily in the abortion debate. "
Hansen said the bill is to protect all involved, and she completely supports it.
"If a pregnant woman is beaten up in a violent attack, or worse, killed in a violent attack, and her baby also dies, today the law would only count the mother's death as a homicide, " she said in an emailed interview. "The baby is not protected under the law. "
"I think that is the wrong approach, " Hansen added.
She said the bill changes law to protect fathers as well as mothers.
"I think fathers frequently get left out of the discussion, " Hansen said. "The whole family suffers a loss when a crime like this happens. One can't have a pregnant mother without having an expecting father. "
A bill that appears to be creating some party-line conflict also passed the House Monday on a 59-41 vote.
Warburton and Hansen voted for House Bill 50, which would "Prohibit immigration sanctuary policies by local governments, " while Rep. Clarena Brockie, D-Harlem, voted against it.
The bill prohibits local governments from creating a policy that prevents or restricts law enforcement or local from checking a person's immigration status.
Supporters, including sponsor, Rep. David Howard, R-Park City, say the bill would ensure local governments enforce federal law and help prevent crime and other problems they say illegal immigration is bringing to Montana.
Opponents of the bill say illegal immigration is not a problem in Montana and local governments should be able to set their own priorities.
Warburton applauded a bill that passed unanimously out of the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Committee on which she sits that changes the regulation of wolf hunting. The bill passed the House on a second reading 100-0 Friday and was referred to the Appropriations Committee.
House Bill 73, requested by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and introduced by Rep. Kelly Flynn, R-Townsend, allows hunters to take more than one wolf in a season, allows the use of electronic calls for wolf hunting, reduces the time a hunter must wait between buying a license and bagging a wolf from five days down to 24 hours, eliminates the requirement of wearing hunter orange when hunting wolves outside of the big game season and forbids the creation of buffer zones preventing wolf hunting or trapping around the edges of national parks.
The Appropriations Committee scheduled a hearing on the bill today.
Warburton also said she is continuing to work on introducing legislation that would name a portion of a highway in Blaine County in memory of slain Blaine County Undersheriff Pat Pyette, killed in December 2011 from injuries sustained when he was struck by a vehicle while directing traffic east of Chinook, and Blaine County Deputy Josh Rutherford, killed in May 2003 during a shootout while trying to arrest a suspect.
Warburton said she is trying to have the bill introduced and scheduled for a hearing on a Friday in the next couple of weeks.
"(That would) make it easier for people to travel to Helena in support of it, " Warburton said. "I invite and welcome interested local individuals to do so. "
Warburton looks to ease tensions between FWP, landowners
Rep. Wendy Warburton, R-Chinook, is trying to bring representatives of the state hunting and fishing agency to an interim session to address concerns of Montana landowners.
Warburton said in an email interview with the Havre Daily News Monday that she is working on a bill that would direct Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to appear before the Environmental Quality Council interim committee, which has oversight of the department between sessions.
She will invite landowners and property right and agricultural groups from around the state to work with the committee on improving relations between FWP and landowners and advocate for legislation to do so.
"I greatly encourage landowners in Hill and Blaine County to participate and bring their ideas to the table, " Warburton said, adding, "I also urge them to plan to attend the hearing in support of this bill. "
Warburton said she has heard a number of concerns raised by landowners including the recent statewide headlines about the state purchase of thousands of acres in Hill County.
"In recent years, land owners in our area have felt trampled by their own government with FWP actions such as working to transport Yellowstone bison into Blaine County and purchasing more and more productive agricultural land around the state, including large ranches such as the Milk River Ranch, " Warburton said. "In response, they have closed tens of thousands of acres to hunting, in an effort to make their voices heard. "

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS — Sisters Susan Jasiewicz and Debbie Thacker, both of Swansea, share an unusual bond -- both have lost a child.
Jasiewicz and Thacker attended the annual "Angel of Hope" candlelight healing service held Thursday night at the Angel of Hope statue in the Angel of Hope Memorial Garden, located at Lake View Memorial Gardens in Fairview Heights.
Jasiewicz had premature twins in 2002, and her baby girl died. "It's very comforting to be able to honor her," Jasiewicz said. "It's comforting to be around other people who have lost a child."
Her sister also lost a daughter to cancer. Thacker said her 26-year-old daughter Laurie Thacker-Kienlen died in 2003.
"I do anything I can to keep her memory alive," Thacker said. "It's a beautiful ceremony."
Thacker brings flameless candles for individuals to hold during the ceremony.
About 50 people attended Thursday night's ceremony, which was open to anyone who has lost a child.
The brief ceremony included the reading of a poem titled "We Remembered Them" and several songs performed by Catherine Marshall, of Lebanon.
Following the ceremony, families placed white flowers at the base of the angel statue in memory of a child.
"It's a healing thing for people who have lost a child," said Lee Fehler, with Lake View Memorial Gardens. "It doesn't matter at what age they have lost this child. It's just a time of being with their babies at Christmas time."
The Angel of Hope statue was first introduced in a best-selling novel by Richard Paul Evans. In the book, "The Christmas Box," a woman mourns the death of her daughter by making regular visits to the child's grave, marked by an angel statue.
In 1994, when Evans learned that grieving parents were looking for the angel statue, he commissioned an angel statue to stand in the City Cemetery in Salt Lake City, the same setting as his book. Since then, Angel of Hope monuments, all exact replicas of the original, have been built at locations throughout the United States.
The Angel of Hope statue was built in 2007 in Fairview Heights, and an Angel of Hope statue was built at Bellevue Park in Belleville in 2002.

Nelly Kate - "Judging Diamonds" (via Good Day RVA)
Good Day RVA has created a music video for a Nelly Kate song, and the audio and visual aspects are on point. The company specializes in using familiar and artistic imagery of places in Richmond. We see Nelly Kate in the pump house on Belle Isle setting up her equipment, loops and atmosphere. Images cut to bridges and burning pyres, and then back to Nelly Kate as she hugs microphone and wails a variety of ethereal tones. The loops all come together while Nelly Kate sings with a delay pedal and other effects for a moody, multidimensional morsel.
Check out Nelly Kate @ Anderson Gallery on 6/12!
"Musician Nellie Kate and video artist Michele Seippel collaborate under the name GeNDeRS, improvising with a live mix of sound and video. The transformative melding of Seippel's ethereal abstract imagery with Kate's minimalist pop vibe will beat the summer heat and chill you out."
A lot of shows these days are a full sensory experience. It's not just the music that matters right now; it's all about the presentation, too. Bands are looking to professional stage lighting for that extra oomph to their set.
Alex McArthur of McArthur Lighting has been making a name for himself locally and nationally. From creating trippy, colorful lights that coincide with the music to atmospheric ambiance, McArthur Lighting transforms the show experience into ultimate face town. McArthur has worked with local bands like Silo Effect and The Southern Belles, and also with national bands like Dr. Dog and Keller Williams. We think genres besides jam bands are really missing out by not incorporating the visual aspect of the show. We caught up with McArthur to see how one gets involved in this aspect of production, what types of venues he lights, and how tour is the coolest part of the job.
Sounds of RVA: How did you get into stage lighting?
Alex McArthur: Well, in June of 2010, I purchased some lighting gear and my initial concept was to design for The Silo Effect. After doing shows with them for a few months people noticed, and I was called to work with other bands such as Farm Vegas, PBR, and The Shack Band. This was not what I planned for, but I really love live music and to support local groups, so it made sense to expand. I then started to do corporate events, music festivals, etc. Things kind of took off after that, and since October of 2011 I have been a full time LD. Richmond has never quite seen this type of lighting for their local shows, so it has always been a well received experience for the fans.
Was Chris Kuroda an influence? Anyone else?
My initial inspiration did have a lot to do with Kuroda, particularly his older work. There was one video, Twist, from their Island Tour run that just lit a fuse inside and really inspired me. I have always enjoyed live stage lighting, but didn't know it was what I wanted to do until well after college. Other designers such as Saxton and Waful were big inspirations; I saw groups such as Papadosio and realized it can be done grassroots style. I had a dream, and was extremely fortunate to be able to pursue it. I can see the path ahead of me and haven't looked back since.What is the biggest venue you've done lights in?
I was blessed with an opportunity to work with Dr. Dog in Fall 2012, and was exposed to a 2 month national tour. While on the road, we did some massive events including Central Park NY, Ford Theater in LA, Majestic in Detroit, and Boulder Theater in CO. These were certainly the biggest shows I have done. One of my favorites was Newport Music Hall, it was a sold out crowd and I received lots of praise from fans afterwards. I felt like I had just walked off stage as a musician, it was extremely flattering. I also work lots of music festivals, and have been working with 81 Productions at Camp Barefoot for the past 3 years. This is always my favorite weekend of the year, and hosts about 3000 attendees. To me its not about the size of the crowd but the energy of the fans, some of my favorite shows have been <500 people. Its a very unique feeling to control the visual element to a live show.
Do you play music as well?
I've been a musician my whole life. I stole my dad's '67 Fender out of his closet at a very young age, and have been playing guitar since. I played saxophone in middle school band but never went too far with it. I used to play with some friends in high school and was big into the punk/metal scene. Again, never really went anywhere as a musician but have always found a lot of happiness working behind the scenes. I am extremely passionate over music, it has always dominated my thoughts and actions. Live shows are my idea of church. Its kind of like a gas station, every show fills up my soul with love and energy. I'm addicted to music.
Did you have any kind of lighting training?
I started this as a hobby, and I fell in love with the design aspect almost immediately. My whole mindset was "Shit, I don't want to see a Silo show unless I'm involved," and lighting was my way to get in. I trained myself, just like I did with guitar. Ive never had a formal lesson/teacher. With lighting, it was A LOT of trial and error. I lived on Floyd in the fan and set up my gear in our basement, we had lots of bands come play down there so it was good practice. I learned the hard way about all lighting concepts, which is my nature to learn by mistakes. Once I found out one concept, I never made that mistake again. That has kinda built up to this point, I am designing my own console using GrandMA, and its yet another trial and error project. I have started reading a lot more since I became full time, maybe one day Ill take a class.
Do you go on tour with bands…like are you going on the upcoming tour for the Southern Belles?
I tour with lots of bands/DJ's. I have done several tours with Silo Effect, Shack Band, Southern Belles, Peoples Blues of Richmond, to name a few. I do lots of work with The Shack Band now a days, these guys are like family. We have had some wild times! My major tour was with Dr. Dog, I have plans to return on the road this coming fall as well. This experience was hands down the coolest thing I have ever done. We toured all together in a massive tour bus, explored the whole country, and got to hear one of my favorite bands for nearly 50 shows in a row from the best seat in the house. Life on the road isn't always easy, but it sure is worth the experience. My most recent efforts have been with MTK, a producer from here in Richmond. Normally, I hate on the DJ acts who simply "push play" but this guy does some amazing work and does live mixing on stage, so he earned my respect pretty quick. We toured the East Coast this spring, and really had a blast. Were designing a new stage plot that will blow some minds, so keep your eyes open for MTK. I will be doing a few shows with The Southern Belles this summer and couldn't be more excited to work with those guys again. Right now my focus is Festival Season, and prepping for my fall tours.
Anything else you want folks to know?
Anyone reading this that has a dream, do not hesitate to follow it. I am living proof that dreams come true, do what you love and you will find happiness.
I am working to spread RVA love all over the country. This city is beyond description, we are so very lucky to call Richmond home. Support local music! I do want to say a big thanks to my family and to all my friends, both musicians and fans, who have supported me. Without your support I would not be doing this. I dedicate all my work to my late employee Adam Baker. He helped me for lots of shows in my early times, Thanks Adam.

Starfish Prime @ Sounds of RVA Showcase @ Bogart's, 5-18-13
Starfish Prime closed out the night last Saturday at the Sounds of RVA Showcase at Bogart's. They were loud, kinetic and frenetic. While they played without their bassist, they still filled the airspace with rock for days. Check out the set yourself recorded by Chris Larson. Thanks, Chris! Stay tuned for the middle band of the evening, Zac Hryciak and the Jungle Beat, whose recording needed a little special attention.
Close Talker - "Mop Water"
Stay Sweet Records is about to release Close Talker's new self-titled debut LP, and they let us take a sneak listen to this track called "Mop Water." Melodic and Weezer-era punk goodness fill this track, and the off-kilter harmonies sound wonderfully sour. We can't wait for the rest of the album!
Boxwave @ Sounds of RVA Showcase @ Bogart's, 5-18-13
We had our first showcase this past Saturday, and Boxwave opened the evening. Not only was blood drawn, but the funk quotient reached dangerous levels. Check out the video below as well as the audio from the set, recorded by Chris Larson.
Celtic Panda - Bamboo Grooves
RVA's reggae rat pack Celtic Panda has just released an album of 7 funk and reggae improvisational live basement tracks. The band is part of the Blue Lotus Collective which includes The Banduras, Solace Sovay, The Foresters, Captain Captain, Recluse Raccoon, The Manifestivus, Clifton Gibbons, and The Willie Nelson Experience (not the country singer/guitarist) among others.
Listen to "Hajimemashite," a chilled-out wavering of organs and guitars in its initial two minutes. Then the organ gets a little more fierce and more in the foreground, and the drums get nasty. The mostly instrumental nature of the band opens itself into convenient jamming, and the variety of tones they are getting with their guitars and keys keeps the listener engaged. "40 Oz Bounce" takes the listener somewhere jammy for 6+ minutes of funky licks and displays the comfort the band members have with each other during extemporization.
(Edit: The band sorta disagrees about the whole reggae thing…and maybe while not ostensibly or intentionally being reggae, a few of their jams get to skankin' guitar rhythm territory. But the alliteration is too neat to erase.)
RIYL: Grateful Dead, Ulu, The Shack Band, The Southern Belles
Check out Celtic Panda on Saturday, 5/25 @ The Canal Club along with Romanesco, JV Thrusting Squad, Gallo Vera, and Friends of the Family. Check out more show dates here.

Everyone Dies In The End - Demo
Post-rock professionals Everyone Dies In The End are stepping up as a fresh band with a brand-new demo. The demo is actually a recording from a practice, and it looks like the band will be releasing more albums like this in the future. Featuring members of bands like Lord By Fire and My War, EDITE plays instrumental post-rock tracks that are at some points ambient while building in anticipation. Check out "Who Are You, Whom I So Faintly Hear" which is not only grammatically correct but also sometimes sparse and other times explosive.
Check out Everyone Dies in the End's first show on Friday, 5/24 @ Strange Matter with Swells (Denver) and 1TBA. Early show. 5 pm doors, all ages, $5.
ALSO catch them at the Sounds of RVA Showcase @ Bogart's on July 20 with Sea of Storms and Time Machines. 9 pm doors, 21+, $5.
RIYL: Explosions in the Sky, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Shy, Low, and Fight Cloud

Published : Thursday, 19 Jul 2012, 9:22 PM EDT
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The Rochester Red Wings rallied from an early five-run deficit to knock off the Tides 14-8 Thursday afternoon at Harbor Park.
The Red Wings collected 18 hits in the contest, as every batter had a hit, eight batters had an RBI and seven batters scored a run. The 18 hits surrendered by the Tides represented a season-high, while the 14 runs tied the most yielded by the Tides in game this season.
Tides starter Jason Berken entered the contest ranked 8th in the IL with a 3.28 ERA, but saw that ERA balloon to 3.80 after yielding seven runs on nine hits in four-plus innings.
Berken took the mound in the fifth inning with a 7-2 lead, but he yielded five straight hits to begin the frame - all of which came around to score.
Berken walked two and struck out three in the outing as he threw 103 pitches, 66 for strikes.
After knotting the game with five runs in the fifth, the Red Wings plated five more in the sixth against Oscar Villarreal (3-3).
Villarreal, who had not allowed more than one earned run in any appearance this season, allowed five runs on six hits in his two innings of work.
Brandon Waring hit a solo homer as part of a three-hit day to lead Norfolk's offense, while Carlos Rojas added three hits and two runs batted in.
Rojas also pitched two innings in the contest, as Norfolk's bullpen was depleted due to recent spot starts and a 15-inning contest Wednesday night.
Lew Ford and Blake Davis each had two hits apiece for Norfolk, which wrapped up its eight-game homestand with a 5-3 record.
The Tides open up an eight-game road trip Friday as they begin a four-game series in Syracuse against the Chiefs. Brian Matusz (1-0, 1.69) is slated to take the hill for Norfolk against left-hander Zach Duke (10-4, 3.78).

Stelena Appreciation Thread
Well Damon never shows any indication that he want to turn her for his own desire,but he is pretty much like vampire Elena better and if to say everything she has done for the past couple episodes is on her own free will i doubt if Damon will be okay with her turning back into human coz he knew human Elena will never be like that with him and the reason why i say Stefan deserves better is that it seems like she is not appreciating all the things he is doing for her,like she is taking advantage of that coz really what can Damon do to Elena that Stefan couldn't why all the drama between 2 brothers i know Stefan treats her like shit in s3 yet she still choose him and take him back i give her credit for that coz its not every girl that can do that.I don't think Stefan owes her anything either but he might think that after what she did to him in s3 plus he is still feeling guilty about her turning so he might think that he owes her something.Posted 12/17/2012 6:36:43 PM #
@Amina, a hug to you too love. I miss Kay btw. She really ought to come for a visit. I would have loved to hear her view on this more than anything.Posted 12/17/2012 6:39:44 PM #
@Heather:OMG did U just read my mind coz I was just thinking about the same thing. I miss Kay and all your posts today remind me of her coz if she was here she would have said the same thing. God I really miss her and yeah I would like to hear her view on this season more than anyone. I hope she didn't explode coz its alot to take in.Posted 12/17/2012 6:49:11 PM #
Contrary to what you said,even tho Damon might like Vamp Elena more,i think he'd want her to take the cure so that she can break the sire bond.Say what you will about the guy but he really loves her and i think he'd want it to be real with her and not because of the sire bond.
Posted 12/17/2012 7:18:36 PM # -
I'm nit contradicting myself with anything and i never said Damon doesn't love Elena,even the hard core SE shipper will admit on that what I'm saying is that he prepares her more as a vampire and given a choice between human and vampire Elena he will definitely take Vampire Elena. And I do believe he wants it to be real coz as much as I hate the thought of DE I actually felt bad for him in this episode you can tell that he is really trying hard to pretend that it doesn't suck he wish it could be real,again i believe he will want her to take the cure to break the bond but like I said if to say everything she has done was on her own free will I doubt if D will want her to turn back to human.Btw don't think I'm a Damon hater,just coz I said all those things doesn't make me one I just prepare Stefan over him and I have a love/hate relationship with him.Posted 12/18/2012 1:30:44 AM #
I didn't mean you were contradicting yourself,i mean't i wasn't agreeing with you lol.and i yeah i agree with you that if Damon had a choice he'd take Vamp Elena over Human Elena.and don't worry you didn't come off across as Damon hater.but it doesn't matter either way coz i do hate him lol.
Posted 12/18/2012 2:25:11 AM # -
Although it irks him I think Stefan is slowly coming to terms with the fact that Elena has some feelings for Damon since S3. What he probably can't stand is Elena not getting closure from those feelings. Like he once said in S1 he came to start a life with Elena. And there's point in living that life with Elena's feelings for Damon unresolved. For him I guess it's either he has Elena or not at all. Damon is quite comfortable with the little of her he can get.Posted 12/18/2012 12:14:23 PM #
@Heather, tbh, I think Stefan knew ever since s1 that Damon had feelings for Elena - remember what Isobel told Elena about them being in love with her? I just think this time Stefan does not want the repeat of what happened with Kat. I will even go and say that is why he reacted that way when Caroline "told" him about DEX, yes it hurt that they slept together but I think the fact that Damon did not tell him about it hurt a hell lot more because Stefan does not want to have a deja vu of what happened with Kat because a) they lost their lives and b) they drifted apart as brothers and now that they have come all this way and rebuild their relationship - the trust is gone once again. I mean, just think about it - ever since s1 Stefan has known that Damon was interested in Elena, he knew it was inevitable, but this time he wanted it to be "fair" if you can say so and be all - ok we both like her but instead of going against each other;s backs lets be honest with each other about it. Stefan never told Damon to stop loving Elena or not having feelings for her - hell, he did not even tell him to leave town as they said they would once Elena chose - because in his mind since the decision was made, he wanted to still have his brother by his side - and now its all ruined. His brother lied and betrayed him AGAIN. I think that hurts him more than the fact that they have slept together.

@Gayatri:Oh no worries love,I understand.Posted 12/18/2012 1:44:59 PM #
@Liza. That's quite a good analysis of what panned out. Katherine cost them so much as brothers and I guess Stefan was willing not to let history repeat itself again. I wonder how's he's gonna react to Damon after hearing all this. He's sort of very volaitale at the moment and I also want to see how Damon's gonna deal with it.Posted 12/18/2012 2:17:52 PM #
