Christmas is the time we want to bring out the very best of everything, playing up our favorite holiday traditions with our best linens and china. These traditions help keep things moving along at holiday time, simplifying our decision making when it comes to planning and preparing dinner menus or implementing our holiday decorating schemes. The wreath goes here, the giant Santa goes there, and before you know it, the house is holiday-ready.
Still, sometimes we want to take an extra minute to trim the crooked edge off the wrapping paper, tie our gifts with lovely bows, and polish up the water goblets. I'm already nervously anticipating that I'll need to set aside at least an entire night for cookie arranging, and that doesn't include time spent with the cookie cutters or the rolling pins. More than anything, our best takes time. So implementing a few holiday specific design traditions around the house helps ensure our best behavior comes effortlessly. Here are some of my tried and true holiday simplification favorites. I hope your holidays will be a little bit merrier for having tried them!
Chairs, chairs + more chairs
Unexpected guests, sleepy guests and party guests who may not be familiar enough with your household to know where they can steal an extra chair or warm blanket will feel more at ease if you take the time to prepare for them. In a pinch, you can rent some folding chairs and gussy them up with simple throws or fancy bows, and scatter them about in convivial, sometimes oddball arrangements. While it's true that less than half the people at a party feel the need to sit, the few who might should be made to feel they can do so without too much commotion. Outdoor benches draped with a wool blanket, stools, or an ottoman that is usually in a bedroom are all another place for someone to sit comfortably long enough to open a gift.
Make the little ones feel at home
Young visitors may bring along their crayons and coloring books or a favorite movie, but it's still an enormous help to keep these items at the ready just in case. If you have a room where little ones can play or watch Rudolph's nose light up for the hundredth time within earshot of your adult visitors, make an effort to make that space child-proof. Inexpensive plastic tablecloths taped over good coffee tables do double duty, serving as a place to snack or play a game while protecting the coffee table from spills or cups of hot chocolate. I keep a prettier linen tablecloth over the plastic version throughout the holiday season, and I've discovered it's a simple way to dress up a room.
The holiday kitchen
Speaking of child-proofing, take time to be sure anything that could pose a toxic hazard to small children is stowed well out of reach during the holidays, both in the kitchen and elsewhere. There's enough to worry about with trees, fires in the fireplace and all that good glassware and china about! It's a comfort for those who visit with small children to feel they can relax for a minute or two knowing you took the time to find another place for the dishwasher detergent and the gigantic knives.
The holiday kitchen is a super busy place, where everyone wants to congregate and offer their help. It makes things easier for all if you keep the few things you're sure to need help with available and at the ready. For the holidays, I keep extra cutting boards, napkins, extra measuring cups, mixing utensils, serving pieces, spoons and the like in spots that are easy to see and fetch. The stand mixer is left on the counter for the entire month of December as well, in the hopes a visiting baker might care to bake me a good batch of cookies.
In the powder room
The law of averages for unexpected calamities increases exponentially when the house is filled with people. Since my personal medicine cabinet is comprised of a bottle of aspirin and an expired bottle of vitamins, I make sure I have the few items others need from time to time, including tissues, band-aids, some sort of topical antiseptic and basic pharmaceuticals in the powder room. My penchant for fine linens not withstanding, I also stock up on disposable guest towels and make up a festive looking basket of toiletries, to which I'll add a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, a simple sewing kit, eye drops, a few combs, maybe some hair spray and something to spray around that smells nice.
Always ready for guests
Even if you're not anticipating overnight guests, have a guest room ready just in case. It's easier to know the bedding is fresh and the pillows are fluffed before someone wanders in there to take a nap, and it's wonderful to know you can offer your guests a safe place to spend the night should the need arise. To save an impromptu overnight guest from embarrassment, simple oversized "just-in-case" pajamas, a robe, fresh toothbrush and hotel-style accessories are all nice to have on hand. I add a few pairs of new socks and a sweatshirt to the drawers as well; someone will inevitably wind up cold or wet before the holidays over.
A holiday home base
We need all sorts of things during the holidays that we might otherwise easily get along without. Matches to light the candles, fresh linens, nut crackers, toothpicks, wine stoppers, coasters, those annoying hooks for ornaments, wire, ribbon, tape — have I made my point? Instead of having these holiday essentials scattered everywhere, I commit one small piece of furniture to holiday storage. Sometimes it's a dresser parked right smack in front of a door we don't exit in winter; other times, an additional table with covered boxes and tins full of all the holiday "stuff" is added to the kitchen. It's great when anyone in the house can find the scissors, or anything else he may need to feel comfy and relaxed. No fuss, no stress; nothing but merry and all the best!

Details: Sunday 5 p.m. Busch Gardens, Tampa. Part of the park's Bands, Brew & BBQ series; included with general admission. buschgardens.com.
It's hard to believe Poison frontman and VH1 cougar-tamer Bret Michaels nearly died following a stage mishap at the 2009 Tony Awards. Had he met his maker that fateful day, at least he'd have done so knowing the world would never produce a bigger, cheesier, more beloved power ballad than Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Thankfully, Michaels is back and more bandana'd than ever. If you have a reality show you'd like to pitch him on Sunday, we're sure he'd be willing to listen.
Details: Friday 8 p.m. Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. Sold out. (727) 791-7400.
Brandi Carlile's fans turn out in force wherever she goes — this gig, featuring Carlile as part of an acoustic trio, sold out weeks ago. They're in for a treat. When the 30-year-old Seattle singer-songwriter played an acoustic set at last fall's Orlando Calling festival, her voice was textured and mesmerizing, yet as versatile as Muse's Matt Bellamy. The way she stomped, strutted and sang lovely songs like the plaintive Follow, you just know she'd have been a superstar in 1995. For now, a cult following will have to do.
Clearwater Sea-Blues Festival
With Buddy Guy, Curtis Salgado, Rich DelGrosso/Del Toro Richardson Band and more (Saturday); Janiva Magness, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Beverly McClellan and more (Sunday)
Details: Gates open at noon Saturday, 1 p.m. Sunday. Coachman Park, downtown Clearwater. Free general admission; reserved seating is $25-$30 for one day, $40-$45 both days. clearwaterseablues.com.
A free concert by the world's foremost Chicago bluesman, Buddy Guy? That'll get us up to Clearwater in a hurry. The 75-year-old guitar legend remains one of the funniest, bawdiest showmen on the international blues circuit, delighting in forcing his ax to yelp, howl, squelch and squeal like a stuck hog. Guy goes on at 8:10 p.m. Saturday, but don't sleep on the rest of the lineup — Beverly McClellan, who reached the final four on Season 1 of The Voice, performs at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
Rockabilly Ruckus 2012
With Lee Rocker, Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys, Amy LaVere, Rocket 88, Twisty Chris and the Puddin' Packs, Ted Stevens Band, Hot Rod Hornets, Rockabilly Chicks, Morgan Bernard
Details: Saturday 4 p.m. Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Road, Tampa. $20-$25. (813) 971-0666.
Ladies, stick a rose in your hair, and fellas, douse that ducktail in pomade, because it's time for WMNF's ninth annual salute to the music of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. This year's headliners: Lee Rocker, the upright bassist from the Stray Cats, who promises to slap out Setzerless versions of Stray Cat Strut and Rock This Town; and western swing revivalists Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys. There's also a vintage car show at 3 p.m., but you need a ticket to enter, daddio.
Details: Friday 8 p.m. Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S, St. Petersburg. $50-$75. (727) 892-5767.
With friends like Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick, of COURSE Gladys Knight won the Grammy in 1987 for That's What Friends are For. Whether performing with the Pips or entirely Pip-free, the Empress of Soul still commands a stage on smashes like Midnight Train to Georgia and her hit rendition of I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Knight has put her name, fame and fortune to good use opening a chain of chicken-and-waffle joints in the greater Atlanta area — which, let's face it, is exactly what the rest of us would do if we became rock stars.
Yonder Mountain String Band
With the Infamous Stringdusters
Details: Saturday 8 p.m. Jannus Live, Jannus Live, 16 Second St. N, St. Petersburg. $20. (727) 565-0551.
Before the Avett Brothers and Mumford and Sons made crossover "newgrass" cool, Yonder Mountain String Band was busy hoeing down with Frisbee-golfing frat boys in their home state of Colorado. Founded in 1998, YMSB has ingratiated themselves with the jam-band community by encouraging bootlegging at their concerts. Last fall, they even curated a festival in Arkansas with artists like Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and the Steep Canyon Rangers.

Donald J. Franklin, Ph.D.NJ Licensed Psychologist (#2244)
Individuals convicted of serious sexual offenses, such as sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault, must be evaluated (in New Jersey) by the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center to determine whether the
individual appears to be a repetitive and compulsive sexual offender. The defense may disagree with the determination of this state institution, and request an independent psychological evaluation for a second
opinion. A hearing is then held to present expert testimony, so that the court can determine appropriate sentencing for the sexual offender.
Treatment can be provided to a sexual offender while incarcerated at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center, or after release on parole, as a condition of release into the community. In the absence of
situations that carry a presumption of incarceration, treatment may be provided or required as a condition of probation, and supervised through the probation department.
For sexual offenses that are not serious enough to require the above evaluation procedure, psychological evaluations are also recommended, to present treatment recommendations to the court. Sexual offenses are
committed by individuals with a wide array of psychological problems, and it is essential to identify the underlying psychological disorder that predisposed the individual to commit a sexual offense. While most, if
not all, sexual offenders meet the diagnostic criteria for one or more of the sexual disorders, many offenders also are diagnosed with additional psychological disorders requiring treatment. Mental retardation,
psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse can all influence an individual's sexual behavior, leading to a sexual offense. The goal of a psychological evaluation is to recommend treatment that
will minimize the potential for additional sexual offenses in the future.
Psychological evaluation of a sexual offender requires a review of all materials relevant to the offenses, including statements to the police, previous psychological evaluations, witness accounts of his/her
behavior, and past criminal record. The psychologist will then conduct a clinical interview and administer psychological testing appropriate to the situation. A more detailed psychosexual history is a vital part of
this evaluation.
The psychological report will summarize the findings of the evaluation, and will specifically indicate whether there is evidence of repetitive and compulsive sexual behavior. Additionally, treatment
recommendations will be made, as well as presenting a prognosis regarding the likelihood for future criminal sexual behavior. In court, the psychologist will present these findings, and will respond to cross
examination from the opposing attorney, and to questions from the court regarding the findings and recommendations. The court is responsible for making the final determination regarding sentencing of the sexual
Dr. Franklin has considerable experience evaluating sexual offenders for sentencing. If you are an attorney, and wish to discuss an evaluation of a sexual offender,

Te Radar, with a grin and joke, asked the group of young environmentalists what made them angry. Mining in Southland, shark finning, cows polluting our freshwater, the list goes on.
The six young people, with all sorts of environmental interests, made up the "Nature Of Tomorrow" discussion panel on Friday evening at Forest & Bird's annual conference. Award-winning satirist and documentary-maker Te Radar led the diverse discussion that covered the issues of now and concerns for the future.
The difference between generations was a recurrent theme. Gen Y is the first generation that will not have a better standard of living than the previous generation. they said. And yet, many young people are complacent about the environment and activating change.
This group is not complacent. They're out there killing possums, attending water quality conferences and raising awareness about shark finning. Their battles may be the same being fought by their elders, but they don't approach them in the same way.
How do you get young people involved in conservation? "Free beer," joked Jackson Wood, a politically minded panellist, before suggesting communicating in a way young people understand. "Don't write me a letter, I won't read it. I move house every year because of rent. Email me, Facebook me, send me a Youtube clip," he said.
The young people affirmed technology is an opportunity that should be seized; if not through spreading messages and networking, then on a bigger scale. There was huge potential for New Zealand to launch into green technology, the young ones said.
Despite the anger, there was a lot of optimism on the panel. As Forest & Bird Conservation Manager Nicola Toki told the room: "It's very heartening to know our future is in safe hands".

TORONTO – The hesitation Philip Seymour Hoffman (search) felt about playing Truman Capote (search) was not unlike the uncertainty audiences might feel over seeing a movie about the man who wrote the true-crime classic "In Cold Blood (search)."
Hoffman wondered how he would hold up in the title role of "Capote," impersonating the author's weirdly effete, self-important mannerisms and cadences, and questioned whether moviegoers would want to watch him do it.
"I did have hesitations and just knew that if I made the story the main character and really worked on that to fulfill it in a very personal and soulful way, that all the technical stuff about playing him would become secondary for people watching the movie," Hoffman said.
The result could be a breakout lead performance for Hoffman, a character actor who has earned enormous respect with idiosyncratic supporting turns in such movies as "Happiness," "Almost Famous," "Punch-Drunk Love," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Magnolia."
Hoffman, 38, undergoes a remarkable transformation as the bespectacled, dapper Capote — a raconteur with a wily, grandiose style of talking and a need to ensconce himself at the center of attention.
The performance may put Hoffman at the forefront of the best-actor race at the Academy Awards the way Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles did last year in "Ray."
Hoffman recalled growing up seeing Capote in his unproductive later years, holding forth on TV talk shows in the 1970s. His recollections were hazy, though, until he reacquainted himself with Capote's off-putting demeanor by watching interviews and Albert and David Maysles' documentary "A Visit With Truman Capote."
At that point, having agreed to do the movie, Hoffman began moaning, "Oh, what the hell have I got myself into?" he said, laughing.
"That's always what I heard about people dealing with Capote," Hoffman told The Associated Press at the Toronto International Film Festival, where "Capote" played. "Anyone said when they first encountered Capote that it was a jaw-dropping thing, like, 'Who the hell is this guy?' You can't get past the way he's talking.
"But because of his intelligence, his wit and his insightfulness and his kind of all-consuming warmth, that would go away. So I knew if I had that in mind and I knew if I had a genuineness about it, that the majority of people watching it would have the same experience."
The film centers on what would become the most agonizing period of Capote's life, as he spent more than five years researching "In Cold Blood," a nonfiction novel about the 1959 murders of the Clutters, a farm family in Kansas.
Capote, previously known best as the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," became obsessed with the killers, particularly Perry Smith (Clifton Collins Jr.), who along with Dick Hickock (Mark Pellegrino) executed the Clutters after a robbery that nabbed only a few dollars from the family farmhouse.
Aided by lifelong pal Harper Lee (search) (Catherine Keener), who later would depict the boyish Capote in her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," Capote befriends the Kansas investigator (Chris Cooper) leading the Clutter case, crossing the line from observer to active participant as Smith and Hickock's death-row appeals move through the courts.
Based on Gerald Clarke's biography, the film depicts Capote as a man torn between devotion to his lifelong companion Jack Dunphy (Bruce Greenwood), perverse love for the killer Smith and a desire to see the two murderers executed so he would have a suitable ending for his book.
Hoffman plays Capote as friend, accessory, artist, manipulator, liar, cheat and sympathizer. After the killers were put to death, "In Cold Blood" was published to great acclaim in 1966, followed a year later by a film version featuring Robert Blake as Perry Smith.
The strain of Capote's research left him broken, a heavy drinker and pill popper whose writing became sporadic and uninspired. Though he published an acclaimed collection of stories a few years before his death in 1984, Capote generally played the intellectual buffoon in his final two decades.
"Somebody said the other day, at the end of the movie, you feel like Capote committed a crime, and that's exactly right," Hoffman said. "That's why the film works so well. You really have this sense that he's the one who committed the crime, and I think deep down inside, that's how he felt, too. That's something he could never come to terms with."
An athlete growing up near Rochester, N.Y., Hoffman got into acting after he was sidelined by a wrestling injury. An acclaimed stage performer, Hoffman moved into small film and TV roles, working his way up to solid supporting parts in "Twister," "Boogie Nights" and "The Big Lebowski."
Hoffman memorably co-starred as a drag queen opposite Robert De Niro in "Flawless" and had the leads in the small independent flicks "Love Liza" and "Owning Mahowny."
"Capote," though, hinged entirely on Hoffman, said director Bennett Miller, who along with the film's screenwriter Dan Futterman has been friends with Hoffman since the three met at a theater program in 1984.
"He was the only choice. He was going to do it or we weren't going to do it," Miller said. "I've known Phil for 21 years now, and I feel I know him inside and out, and other than him being an incredible actor, a shamanlike actor, I will say that everything in this movie that gets revealed through this character are things that Phil knows.
"Meaning he's not putting it on. He's more letting it out. He learned the mechanicals of how to play this guy, but the spirit that gets expressed through the mechanicals is his. He owns that."
"Capote" is the first of two movies dealing with the author's "In Cold Blood" years. The second — an as-yet-untitled film starring Toby Jones as Capote and Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee and featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as singer Peggy Lee — is due out in fall 2006.
By that time, Hoffman will have moved on to his next gig, playing the villain to Tom Cruise's heroic agent in next summer's "Mission: Impossible 3."
"To play a bad guy in an action movie is something I've never done, and I don't know if I'll ever do it again. So this is really that opportunity, and it's the perfect place to do it, perfect people to do it with," said Hoffman, gushing over the prospect of mixing it up with Cruise.

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was Secretary of State, I travelled that road thousands of times and I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road each time. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure, right from Day One, that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, That chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2014, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2014. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Miley Cyrus Brought A Mystery Man To The VMAs And He Gave The Best Speech Of The Night
|August 25, 2014 Miley Cyrus

text: I finally got something done that I have wanted to get done for a long time Laser Eye Sugery. I have worn glasses for as long as I can remember (5 or 6 years old) then moved onto contacts when I was about 16. I had a strong prescription (-6.75) so without glasses or contacts I couldn't do anything. Now at 36 I went and had it done. So far I am seeing about 95%. It is better in the morning and gets progessively worse as the day goes on. I am really looking forward to being able to swim underwater with my eyes open. Anyone esle had this done or thinking about having it done?

The Timberwolves did not extend a qualifying offer to Michael Beasley this offseason, and it looks like we know why. According to a report, it's because Minnesota coach Rick Adelman feels Beasley doesn't play defense or move the ball on offense.
Britt Robson wrote a piece on Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor for Twin Cities Business Magazine that was published mid-September. On Monday, he published a piece on Minn Post sharing additional stories from Taylor.
According to Robson, here's what Taylor said Adelman thinks about Beasley:
"What Rick said about Michael was, 'Yes, Michael has been good. I get along with him. But I don't think we'll be a championship team with him. If I put Michael in, Michael can score, but he doesn't play any defense and he forgets the other offensive players, and I just can't tolerate that under my system because the other players are just standing around.'"
It's no surprise to hear that analysis of Beasley's game. You may recall that after an easy win over the Wizards in January, Adelman emphasized that the ball moved well that game. What was notable about that game? Beasley was out with an injury. Even Kevin Love attributed the ball moving well to Beasley being out.
Love also commented in the offseason that the Timberwolves improved because they got rid of some bad blood in the locker room. Between this report about Beasley, and ex-Timberwolves big man Darko Milicic saying he'd kill someone on the court, I think we know about whom Love was speaking.

"Are you a freelancer?" is the first question I'm asked whenever I travel. "How do you earn your salary? It must be easy to work online, right?" The proper response to these questions would be "Yes, I am a freelancer, and I earn my living by working hard and staying committed to my tasks constantly. It is a challenging job that requires a lot of dedication and perseverance." But how many people would actually understand the meaning behind my words?
Strength training has been proven to prevent diseases and degenerative conditions, increase energy, decrease anxiety, increase bone density, build a strong heart, and reduce blood pressure. Typically, when you talk about sculpting the body, you think about HIIT circuits and the weight room. And yoga is, wrongly known, only as a good option for warm-up, stretching, and never seems to be considered a workout.
It's no secret that we live in perhaps the most stressful times there ever were. Even if our material comfort is perhaps greater (for those of us privileged enough), the daily grind takes a higher and higher mental toll. Only the levels of information we absorb daily are a huge and incredible source of mental strain, never mind the emotional pressure.
Stress, and its physical symptoms, affects 77% of the population as reported by the American Institute of Stress. Over 90% of doctor visits can be traced back to stress in some way from poor digestion, disrupted sleep, increase heart attack/stroke risks, compromises our immune system, increase in anxiety symptoms and more.

yes, it's autumn, and I'm freaking out. It's just a giant tangle of psychology with me when it comes to autumn.

the symbolism of fall is interesting. nice work.
| Chemically Induced chapter 1 . 9/14/2006
ah you make fall sound so ugly-sad-mysterious. which is wonderful; everyone is always going on about how wonderful fall is and how pretty. but i like your ideas more; its called fall for a reason. damn right. "to you and me,/ its just the end of a season." great line.
thanks for the flattering review. im flattered n_n.
love, .
| diffident chapter 1 . 8/19/2006
This makes me sad. I'm biased because autumn is my favorite season, but you spelt this out wonderfully. The imagery is so unique. "a parade of leaves, clothed / in their drab autumn coats / burnt sienna and mustard / seed"
| eighteen hundred chapter 1 . 8/14/2006
I like this. The image I get of dirt sludging is oddly, very poetic to my mind. Good, good stuff.

So lovely, so powerful, so amazing.

pretty, but i cannot invision rain on such hot now, maybe later.
(thank you for your input. i make a lot of technical errors and partially i believe that is because i do not care. i dont write to be perfect and i dont check my line style, line endings or lengths. i post them how they come out to me and i rarely change them unless i am going further with them.
i thank you still for your tips, they are very helpful. i dont know if i will use them, i am a bit stubborn on trying to think when i write, habbit.)
| reluctant writer chapter 1 . 8/3/2006
This is really very good. I like the how it is more of a passive, observational poem, but you really brought it to life. It was the last two lines that got to me: "a burial/ of sorts, to you and me,/ it's just the end of a season." Just excellent.
| Ashes.to.Acid chapter 1 . 8/2/2006
Wow...I'm astounded. This is really beautiful and the format seemed to make it "fall" too. Very vivid and incredible.
| crisscross-cat chapter 1 . 8/1/2006
This is really nice! The image is so vivid, and the language is lovely. The only thing I would change is how the first sentence is basically a really long, run-on sentence. But you did a really good job!
And thanks so much for your kind words!
| Walk Backwards chapter 1 . 7/26/2006
This is beautiful.
The way you metered the lines so that the sounds of the words wove themselves into the meanings made me smile and wish for fall.
I love this, and I'm putting it in my favorites, because it's totally worth reading over and over.
P.S. Thank you so much for the kind review and the wonderful compliment in your bio. That really means a lot to me. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply.

The 49ers will hire former Jets and Browns head coach Eric Mangini as a senior offensive consultant, according to a league source.
Mangini, 42, a former college nose tackle who is known for his defensive expertise, is expected to offer San Francisco's well-respected offensive staff a different perspective on how to attack defenses. Mangini, who has spent the past two years as an ESPN analyst, has not signed a contract, but his hiring is imminent.
A disciple of Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Mangini was once viewed as one of the NFL's rising stars. Dubbed "Man-genius," he was the league's youngest head coach when the Jets hired the 35-year-old in 2006. New York went 10-6 and reached the postseason in his first season, but he failed to reach the playoffs in his final four years as a head coach, the final two with the Browns in 2009-10.
During his head-coaching tenure, his teams ranked among the top half of the league in total defense once: The Jets ranked 15th in the category in 2007. His career record is 33-47.
Mangini was an offensive assistant with the Ravens in 1996 under Ted Marchibroda, Jim Harbaugh's head coach for three seasons in Indianapolis and Baltimore. Mangini has ties to 49ers general manager Trent Baalke and assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Brad Seely, who held the same title under Mangini with the Browns from 2009-10.
Seely and Mangini also spent six years together in New England, where Mangini was the Patriots secondary coach (2000-04) and defensive coordinator (2005). Baalke was a personnel scout with the Jets for two seasons when Mangini was a defensive assistant from 1997-99.
Mangini could potentially fill a different role with the 49ers in the future, if an opening arises on a coaching staff that has stayed nearly completely intact since Harbaugh's arrival in 2011. The 49ers have denied the Buccaneers and Saints permission to interview secondary coach Ed Donatell for a defensive coordinator job the past two seasons. Mangini would seem to be a logical heir apparent to Vic Fangio, 54, but the defensive coordinator has not been connected to any NFL head-coaching vacancies during his two seasons in San Francisco.
Mangini will become the only former NFL head coach on the 49ers' staff, and one of the few with head-coaching experience. Linebackers coach Jim Leavitt led South Florida's program from 1997-2009 while defensive line coach Jim Tomsula was a head coach in NFL Europe. Offensive assistant Paul Wulff was the head coach at Washington State from 2008-11.

Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant & Lounge
6800 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX, USA
Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant & Lounge Houston Reviews
6 reviews
Upscale Ethiopian restuarant and lounge Aug 04, 2013
I have to say that Lucy is now in my list of top ten date restaurants in Houston. First of all, you're eating Ethiopian. It's exotic and adventurous to many. You use your right hand to eat. No utensils. That's already adventurous and unique. Second, you have a an elegant interior with nice African decor and dim lighting, in contrast to the stark location and exterior. Third, going there on a Friday night, there was a DJ spinning a variety of mixes, some sounding African and not shazam'able and some Michael Jackson, but everything with a good beat and chill. The music was loud but not so loud that you had to shout to talk, even with me and my date seated at a table in the front dining area next to what became the dance floor. This is a place where you can go for a late dinner on a weekend night and then see if the crowd and vibe invites you to stay or if you want to just have some drinks during dinner and then head elsewhere after.
As far as the food, it is solid. We ordered the Yedoro Watt and a six item vegetarian combo. The Yedoro came with a drumstick and a hardboiled egg. Which to eat first - the chicken or the egg? Both were OK, but the berbere sauce it came in was spicy and delicious. It was too hot for my date, but perfect for me, so be careful with the berbere if you don't like spicy. Our vegetarian combo came with cabbage, green beans and carrots, collard greens, lentils, split peas, and chickpeas. We both loved the cabbage, green beans, and greens. The rest of the items were good. In addition to the injera that carpeted the food, there were two rolls of injera included on each plate. So while the Yedoro was just a drumstick and an egg, the veggie combo was huge and the injera does fill you up, so it turned out to be too much food for us to finish. I did the doggy bag thing but discovered that leftover Ethiopian is not like day old pizza - it doesn't get better. But doesn't it just feel wrong wasting food at an Ethiopian restaurant?
Note that the menu can take a little while to decipher if you are going to go with a meat combination because there may be six items that are all Ethiopian names. You can look for the names and descriptions of each of the six elsewhere on the menu, ask your server, or google it on your smartphone. If you want to save yourself some time while ordering and look like you know what you're doing, then just take a few minutes to look up the menu on the website before you go.
Our service was decent. They were a tad slow refilling our water, but everyone was extremely polite and helpful with the menu. A couple of different people asked us how the food was, which is good to know they really care.
With any cuisine that is relatively new to a city's culinary landscape, it is always great to see restaurant selection expand. You then get to choose between a hole in the wall, a casual place, a family establishment, and an upscale restaurant. Lucy does an admirable job filling the need for upscale Ethiopian. Don't be scared away by the neighborhood. What's awesome is that I was going to decide between Hillcroft Indian and Bellaire Chinese and decided to go with SW Freeway Ethiopian. I love Houston.

I want to edit the content on my Home (Front) page, but cannot find the access to do that. I've tried to permit this by creating a static page for my Home page. But that still does not let it appear on "Pages" menu in Dashboard so it can be edited. Specifically, I want to remove the word, "Services" and also delete the date line. (It currently shows an erroneous date.) Is the date line mandatory for a Jentri format? If so, shouldn't it change each time the site is updated (i.e., content in following pages/categories)? Please help. Thank you.

Oh, come on! RedHat's Mark Webbink declaired Dell in compliance with theGPL in Sept. 2002.

It is the on-going trend of not even doing the bareminimum and at the same time mislead their customers by declairingthemselves to be GNU/Linux friendly that I find frustrating. The bare minimum requirement when performing non-commerical redistribution of a GPL work in binary only form is to pass along a written offer for the source code. Since their website is freely accessable without charge, if they want to include an offer for the source code from RedHat's ftp site then great. If they want to redistribute in binary only form with no written offer at all, then I'm upset. I don't think it is too much to ask to provide a written offer in return for what they are getting from us.> There are better people to raise these issues with than Dell support> personnel.Who?

I am not a writer for the New York Times or The Washington Post so I don't feel the need to stir up much controversy in these weekly columns. I usually just try to write from the heart and maybe stir up a few chuckles from my loyal readers. Now this week I need to apologize in advance if I offend any of the transgender population of Adams County, of which I have yet to meet a one, at least not that I am aware of.
Summer of 1976. This 15-year old boy watched nearly all of the Summer Olympics from Montreal, remember there was not much else on but at that time watching the Olympics and cheering for the Americans was cool. How many of you recall the gold medal exploits of Sugar Ray Leonard in the boxing ring, Edwin Moses on the track, or the magical Nadia Comaneci in the gymnastics competition? And how many of you remember some "guy" named Jenner winning the Olympic Decathlon?
OK, you know where I am going with this now and let me state up front, please make it stop. I can't see any more photos or stories of Bruce Jenner dressed up like a woman. (Insert one of those chuckles). I watched the 1976 Decathlon and I saw the winner and it was a "guy" named Bruce. Bruce, a perfectly fine male name, and an exceptional effort needed to win a grueling Olympic event.
Now I read today that the United States Olympic Committee is willing to revise the records to show someone named "Caitlyn" Jenner as the winner of the 1976 Olympic Decathlon. What? What" What? I watched that event, it was not this Caitlyn who won. I swear that javelin was thrown by someone named Bruce, but maybe my young eyes deceived me. I'm very Olympic confused right now. I know that was a man flying through the air on the pole vault, or clearing the bar on that high jump, and crossing the finish line after that 1500 meter run.
"We admire Caitlyn Jenner's courage and wish her all the best," USOC spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said in a statement recently, referring to Jenner's decision to come out as transgender. "We would happily consider any athlete's request to have his or her personal information updated in our records."
Courage, really? I guess everyone has their opinion but my definition of courage wouldn't include getting a sex change in order to get a reality show in order to selfishly make millions of dollars. My definition of courage wore a #22 Mount St. Joseph basketball jersey and whose legacy will change the lives of millions. My definition of courage would include a 25-year old double lung transplant recipient who sat in this office last week. My definition of courage is a baby boy named Trevor who fought so long and hard for his young life, only to lose that battle. My definition of courage is the many people in this county who are battling the deadly disease of cancer every day of their lives. My definition of courage is the men who stormed the beach at Normandy 71 years ago to preserve the freedoms of the world. Courage to me is not getting all prettied up and being on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. I guess the good folks at ESPN don't feel that way and I always used to enjoy the ESPYs.
Yes, I know that there are actually people who might be offended by that last paragraph, but so be it. Maybe I am just jealous that I don't have a reality show and an unlimited budget at my disposal, courtesy of the Kardashian family. I don't have that money at my disposal, not as a small town sports reporter. But don't expect to see me doing the sex change thing anytime soon. One, I don't have the legs to pull off the dress look and two, I don't like shaving that much.
Perhaps we could boost sales if I tried the female look and posed for one of our publications. Somehow I have the feeling that scary photo would end up thrown in the bottom of a box along with the one of Terry Rigdon in a cheerleader's outfit. For now, Bruce can just go on and be Caitlyn but I believe I will remain who I am, whether that be for better or worse.

Having problems with your Acer Aspire 3000 Notebook ?
When pressing my wifi on button on my acer aspire 3000 lap top it shows no device what does this mean
Answers :
It means that there's no wireless card installed. You need to buy one from say ebay but do make sure it has the cables with it that fit into the screen base :)
Alternatively, buy a w/l adaptor, preferably a PCMCIA card as they're harder to break as they don't protrude so much. I hope that helps :)

Instructor Explores Web Writing Secrets
An article on search engine optimization by David Wheeler, an instructor at Asbury University, has been published by several news agencies after its initial debut on The Atlantic's Web site.
Titled "'Google Doesn't Laugh': Saving Witty Headlines in the Age of SEO," the article was featured on the "Most Popular" list of stories for several days following its release, reaching No. 5 at its peak. It was also picked up by Yahoo! News, The Huffington Post and The Wall Street Journal's tech site All Things Digital, as well as the Public Relations Society of America's site.
Search engine optimization is a strategy in which people publish content on the Internet in ways that are most "attractive" to the search engines, such as Google, that drive traffic to different sites. Wheeler's article describes the frustration of professional writers whose efforts at clever, funny headlines are being thwarted by the need for literal, explanatory writing. The article can be found at http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/google-doesnt-laug....
Wheeler serves as the faculty advisor for Asbury's student newspaper, The Collegian, and teaches classes on various topics relating to journalism, including a new class on blogging that will begin this fall. He is working for an English-language newspaper in Florence, Italy, this summer.
"Maintaining journalism credentials is especially important these days, in a fast-paced and turbulent media environment, when there seems to be a completely new way of doing journalism every three or four months," Wheeler said. "It's a challenge — but it's a fun challenge. The experience of getting published by The Atlantic will be a great thing to share with my students this fall. I'm already thinking of ways I can incorporate it into my classes."

Data Translation Ltd. - PRODUCT NEWS
DT Vision Foundry advances the Machine Vision IndustryData Translation Ltd [NASDAQ: DATX] today announced the release of DT Vision Foundry 2.5 (DT VF 2.5), a fully integrated, PC-based machine vision solution designed for visual inspection and automated industrial imaging applications. With its proven easy-to-use point-and-click programming environment, the enhanced DT Vision Foundry has seven new tools, additional frame grabber support, new measurement and analysis capabilities, and enhanced performance and streamlined tool interfaces. The solution is ideally suited for Machine Vision OEMs, integrators, and end users whose needs include high performance, speed, and accuracy in measurement, calibration, advanced search functions, and bar code reading. The expanded version is the first solution of its kind to use advanced algorithm technology to perform dynamic inspection without the need for strict environment controls. Intended for real-world manufacturing settings, these algorithms reduce costly control requirements, such as special lighting, part positioning, rotation, and variations in part reflectivity. The end result is a cost-effective machine vision system that sharply cuts programming time, reduces the need for specialised tooling, and creates a more robust and accurate inspection system with fewer false failures.

best metal detector there isn't much support in the ankle area. That said, at the price, I reckon 2-3 years usage would deem them an excellent item. Anything less than 1 1/2 years rubbish, so we will see over time whether this review holds onto these words written today I was after a practical and very comfortable shoe and this is perfect. It is so soft and light that it feels like you are wearing a slipper. The only slight issue could be that it also looks a bit like one too but I don't mind! I have had it for a few months now and worn it quite a bit and no obvious signs of wear so if you want a flat casual ballet shoe this is the abosolute best for comfort!! The delivery was very fast and smooth, the shoes is ultra comfortable - it's like walking on clouds! Made my daily commute much more pleasant These are the second pair of this style I have bought as they are so comfy, they look great and wear in really quickly. One tip though- buy some cheap insoles for them Cleveland rs in 4 colours. I love these shoes, they are so comfortable right from the minute you put them on. I needed to go down a size as they are very roomy. As others have said, they are comfortable from the start.But again, as others have said, get the next size down from your regular size. I am a UK size 7, and quite often have to get a 7.5 as I seem to be one the edge of 7 and 7.5, but even I had to send back the 7's and request a 6, which fit perfectly.Since I have been wearing them around, I have been approached by people who have admired them and asked what they are. Two have gone on to purchase their own, and been very happy with them. They are perfect for running errands, and also for going to gym classes like Pilates and yoga. It is still too cold here to wear them out for the day, but I will definitely be wearing them all day during the summer, as th best kitchens Australian magazine dedicated to trainer culture - bought this book out in around 2005. And from what I remember it's a compilation of the first 12 issues of their magazine.If, like me, you love your kicks, chances are you probably already own this book; but it's got plenty to offer everyone and its worth mentioning that (because it's a compilation of magazines) it's very text heavy... it's more words than pictures - and if you want a trainer book just to look at designs, although you'll find plenty in here to satisfy you visually, your money will be better spent elsewhere. If you're afte babyliss curl secret review ll for me, so I gave them to the bride. She loved them. Next time I would order a size bigger than my usual.Hazel it is good for parties and special days but not for school ,my daughter wanted to show of it did worn out at the sides a bit at the school ,so keep it for good days not everyday,other than look great with every clothes. bought these shoes for my grand daughters school christmas party. lovely shoes, good value for money. would reccomend for any little princess. I've bought them to go with my two year olds witch outfit for Halloween tomorrow. They are nicely made and cute and arrived very quickly. I bought these skates on the 9th December as a stocking filler for my daughter. She is a size 1, & the skates are size 13.5 to 3.5 so would imagine my daughter to get plenty of use out of them. Wrong, one of the skates doesn't even fit on the largest setting, the other fits fine on the second to largest setting. .
technology store online are very much struggling to pack the episodes with jokes now, disappointing, I really do hope they give themselves a kick up the ass!! Bought it as have Seasons 1-11, so will keep buying hoping the continue to get better like they have been in the past. If you are new to Family Guy, do not buy this season, buy an older one, they are funnier. If you are a Family Guy fan, then obviously buy this, but expect to be let down a bit. Hope this is helpful.

On a recomendation I purchased some Fitflop work shoes which worked a treat whilst in the office but desperately needed some 'social shoes'. Ordered these because i loved the colour but was a little apprehensive having read reviews about fit on similar styles. All were completely unfounded when i walked the 2 miles into work this morning (not a rub or blister in sight) and am not in any pain in my foot where I would have done had i have been in my normal walking shoes!Definately recomend these shoes - I will be buying more!Thank you Fitflop!!
I take a regular size 5 but having read reviews that these were on the small size and given the option I ordered a 5 and a half sizeerrors and characters changing their mind about things every other episode, some episodes will have you cringing more than you ever thought possible and screaming at the TV.However, episodes like 'Props' and 'Nationals' are the little gems hidden deep within the series that reminded me why I love Glee so much. The episodes really do shine and nearly make up for the lackluster pile of episodes.Even in the poor episodes, there are still some great moments and fun little numbers, even times when Glee remembers its a comedy. There's just something about Glee that brings me back every week, I don't know what it is, maybe its the lovable characters or big cliffhangers, but I absolutely love it.Lets see where season four takes us, I'm not ready to lose this sho supra high tops ey are a bit bigger. The memory foam is really comfy and the mesh help keep my feet cool in this warm waether.

You will enjoy and be moved by this charming and passionate book.
There is no doubt that this is an amazing feat of human endurance but I was completely non-plussed by the book. The travelogue extends from gushing accounts of the banal to... well absolutely nothing for thousands of miles. We know nothing of this woman from reading the book apart from a dogged determination to p.

'Women enjoy work trips more than men'July 8th, 2011 - 8:14 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 8 (IANS) Women prefer work-related travel more than men, according to a study conducted by travel website, TripAdvisor.
The study said 94 percent women prefer work-related travel as compared men who score 87 percent.
The online survey was done across a cross section of around 2,500 travellers working in government, public sector, private companies, multinationals as well as self-employed.
"This is our first travel survey conducted to understand the Indian business traveller better and the results have been extremely insightful. Most interestingly the survey has brought to light some striking facts about the Indian working woman's behaviour and preferences in contrary to our traditional perception," said Nikhil Ganju, country Manager, TripAdvisor.
"Surprisingly, 84 percent women believe technology has reduced their work travel needs as compared to 63 percent men, he added.
