Good Morning, Sunshine
Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of the just.
It amazes me how teen daughters think that they can out-b*tch their mothers. Don't they realize that we've had way more practice than they have at acting that way?
For those of you with only cute, younger children - I apologize. 5 years ago, I would have been as shocked to read this as you are feeling right now. Obviously, I have done something wrong with raising my offspring.
Ha, ha, ha, ha! That was a joke! For mothers of teen daughters to share! We've done nothing wrong - it is merely a case of demonic possession amongst our young. Why don't you 20-somethings go off and make some more playdough for your darling tots, all right? You can leave us old witches here to discuss how to torture the ungrateful teens that we cherished and nurtured all through their early years, just like you are doing with your small children now.
I don't know what's wrong with me this morning. Maybe 10 and a half hours of sleep isn't good for my psyche. It felt good, though. That is, until I staggered downstairs to find the dishwasher unrun, and the kitchen smelly, and the "left over" dishes scattered, willy-nilly, here and there. (My kids, as I have mentioned before, are union workers; they only wash the dishes that are in the sink - any left on the counter, no matter how dirty, are outside the terms of their contract)
Did you click on that link? Why not? Trying to rush off to some other blog? Don't be rude, click on it! It's funny, dammit.
Anyone want to go upstairs and wake Anna? The younger kids won't do it for me anymore. Even little Susie says it's "scary." I could save myself the trouble of dealing with her and let her sleep in, but she might like that. So forget it.
I have a dentist appointment today. Did I mention that? It's at one o'clock. Because I was smart this time and didn't let Larry make the appointment for me. If I had let Larry make the appointment, I would be there already.
Which may not have been such a bad idea, actually - because then he would have been stuck with the job of waking Anna...

Blahhaahaaaaa....I got it. I got the joke. It was funny too...even if all those youthful mama's are staring at us with that "my child will never, because I have been reading and I know how to raise my child right" look.ReplyDelete
It is scary....I recommend using a very long stick to nudge them awake.
Add me to your list of old witches who are in the trenches with you right this moment.ReplyDelete
Teenage girls can SUCK SUCK SUCK! Even my 18 year old son (6'3" and 200 pounds) won't go up against Banshee Girl on a bad day. She can remind me of the queen alien from the "Aliens" movies. HISSSSS! Snap, snap! snap! Yikes! Run for your life!
And it is at times like these that I wonder if having only boys perhaps isn't all that bad...ReplyDelete
I think I need to find more moms of teens out there. Reading you makes me realize that my daughter is not the only possessed one out there determined to eat me alive. Most days she's good, but there are other day...ReplyDelete
Of course she just turned 13 this spring.
Moments like these you need a dog to go in and wake the beast. I mean, girl. Honey, my boys are young but I have 11+ years of teaching high school under my belt and you are right RIGHT! The teenage girl when sullen (usually unprovoked) and bitchy and mean, is a beast best sent to military camp in another country.ReplyDelete
My sympathies!
You are so funny.
Ha! Maybe your dentist can give you some ancillary drugs to take the edge off the teen-dom you are dealing with today.ReplyDelete
And yes, my kids are still young and adorable. But they are already back-talky little buggers. Kids grow up WAAAAY too fast nowadays, especially when it comes to the sassification.
My computer rebooted in mid-sentence...ReplyDelete
Like I was saying, I think I will have to take up fishing (don't like it) soon, because for approximately the next fifteen years, it will be touch-and-go with my young ladies (10,8,5). Although the ten year old hasn't reach the ultimate in bitching, yet. She has been prcticing a lot as of late.
My younger kids think that they are in trouble when I ask them to wake up the two eldest. They boycott doing it, unless there is something in it for them - like return torture, I imagine. :)
That's it, my mind's made up. When my daughter hits puberty I'm shipping her off to your house.ReplyDelete
Love the Union worker thing - now I know what's wrong with my kids! The odd thing is, my kids (9 and 7) fight over *wanting* to pick up the dog's poop as opposed to emptying the dishwasher....they're must be something inherently evil about dishes that we just don't notice when food is on them!ReplyDelete
As for the teenagers - even though my oldest is 9, I so totally get it. I firmly believe that the last source of real fun is messing with your kids. And I don't mean the happy, constructive wrestling on the ground or playing board games kind of messing.
Crap - if I'm not nurturing *now* does this mean my teenagers and really, *really* going to be heinous?
I would tell my son once to get up. Then the 2nd time, I would take his blanket off and pour a pitcher of water on him. He would then have to change his sheet and he would get out of bed because who is going to stay in a wet bed. And it only happend twice, after that I would tell him if he didnt get up, he was going to get water poured on him,he got up.ReplyDelete
So they're part of a union! Thank you for clearing that up for me. I've always wondered why they can't see the dirty dishes on the counter, now I know, it's just not in their contract.ReplyDelete
You're scaring me with all this talk of teenage girls. My only daughter is ten and already quite moody. Frequently, DH will look at her and say "If she's this moody now, what will she be like as a teenager?"
I don't even want to think about it.
Boys aren't much better.....they're just slower. ;-)ReplyDelete
I clicked.ReplyDelete
Yep, those teenage daughters can wear you down.
my oldest (10, boy) is already given us pained looks of horror. i just laugh at him and say "wait five years, then you'll really be embarrassed!"ReplyDelete
Big sigh. I have four girls. Also, I clicked. My kids are in the union too.ReplyDelete
Right now the only one who talks back on a regular basis is the 7-year-old boy. Of course, my daughter's only 2 . . .ReplyDelete
But, remember? How my mom told you at the Webs thing that it gets better? Am I giving you any hope at all??
My Brother used to nap between track practice and dinner. NO ONE wanted to waken him because he would swing at you and usually connect in the stomach...this lasted until my sister and I convinced my MOTHER to waken him. No.More.Naps.ReplyDelete
My kids get paid, so they are less troublesome. Lately we have begun docking their allowance if the Mandatory UNPAID work is not done.
It helps. Some days they do work harder than me! I still wash the dishes though (that don't go in the dishwasher. Neither of the girls can handle hot enough water yet.
Blessings and prayers, EJT
How about vacuuming right outside her door? That works for me sometimes.ReplyDelete
Don't get too carried away with that $15-though Target is having a sale on purses.ReplyDelete
I think you're a great mom. My parents were tough on me but I came out fine (debatable to a lot of people) so bitch on back girl!ReplyDelete
Oh yes, waking the sleeping teen girl? Not something I'd want to do in a million years! I make Mr. C do it- but he just sits in the living room and calls her cell phone until she answers and then tells her to get up. Coward. :)ReplyDelete
May I suggest buying an air horn, then opening the door to her room, but don't cross the threshold, and let it blast. If that doesn't wake her up I am at a loss. Good Luck!ReplyDelete
10 1/2 hours of sleep?ReplyDelete
That is a good use of time.
Good luck at the dentist.
The teen trait (exhibited by my 17 year old son)that is killing me this week is entitlement. "I know you explained that money would be very tight through the end of May, but did you honestly think that would stop me from hounding you constantly?"ReplyDelete
Have I mentioned that my oldest daughter is 12 and that I have 4 more right after her? The next 15 years are going to be sweeeeeeet.
My oldest daughter is 8 and I have made it perfectly clear that I'm moving out when she turns 10. I'm not messing around with double digits, teens? No way.ReplyDelete
As a former teenage daughter who gave her mother hell, I say, do what you gotta do.ReplyDelete
Thanks for commenting on my blog. That Sue seriously overestimated my ability . . .
I am deeply, deeply shocked! Out bitching one's daughter? Truly, an honorable feat. And don't be sending us playdoh making mamas off - especially when we happen to be DOUBLE the 20 somethings.ReplyDelete
And I did like that link. Very funny team work. Kind of.

I'm just at the precipice of the teenager club - oh god it fills me with dread - at 12 she behaves like an crochety old maid one minute, a catwalk model the next followed shortly afterwards by wailing in the style of an 18mth old......ReplyDelete
I SOOOOO was one of those judgmental moms. Hah! I've seen the light. I don't even look shocked when I see a mother "abusing" her child in the grocery store. I know that the child has done a zillion frustrating things prior to the store visit and is getting his just rewards.ReplyDelete
My husband is GREAT at getting the kids out of bed. He just starts singing "Raindrops keep falling on my head . . ." and they are all jumping up. He doesn't even have to really hold water in his hand anymore. Amazing! And HE isn't afraid of HER. He is truly my hero.

This might help. When my son (16) won't get up I threaten to get in bed with him. As I move towards him I say, "Move over, why should I get up if you don't?" You should see how fast he gets up, works everytime.ReplyDelete
Now with a girl it might work with her father or maybe a younger or older brother. Especially one who, say, has just eaten and isn't too clean. Someone who can move fast if she decides to throw things, or give chase. Anyway, she is awake and probably too upset to go back to sleep. Good Luck. Susie

Having raised five daughters, I can hardly wait until my granddaughters are teenagers! My wisdom has already gone up a few notches in my daughters' eyes now that they have children of their own. They may be bowing at my feet in a few more years! Somehow we have all survived and can actually carry on mutually respectful conversations now.ReplyDelete

Well on our way into the new year, the much talked about imminent Brisbane apartment market crash has still failed to materialise.

Terms like "legend," "icon" and "classic" get tossed around recklessly in this social media age, where hyperbole is king and reality often plays the jester. But when a true icon passes away, even the most ridiculous Twitter soothsayers have to stop and appreciate the loss of true greatness. And that's what's happening this morning after The Guardian's news that the almighty British acting great Christopher Lee has died at the age of 93, following hospitalization for respiratory problems and heart failure.
If you don't know him by name, that probably also means you don't know much about England's genre-defining horror movie studio Hammer Film Productions, but you should. Those who've never seen Lee play one of the best Frankenstein's monsters of all time in films like The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) or a top-three all-time Count Dracula in movies like Horror of Dracula (1958) and Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968) will, however, definitely know him as Saruman in Peter Jackson's The Lords of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, as well as Count Dooku in the final installments of George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy. James Bond aficionados, meanwhile, know him as 007's arch-rival in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun.
Lee's place within the horror history books, though, can't be overstated. Outside of Hammer, he played the disarmingly pleasant cult leader in The Wicker Man (1973), widely considered to be the greatest British horror movie ever, and was a regular go-to actor for Chris Lee super-fan Tim Burton, who cast the regal titan in his kinda-horror flicks Sleepy Hollow (1999), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2008) and Dark Shadows (2012).
Without running through the rest of Lee's staggeringly long and accomplished filmography, let's just say this: If there were a Mount Rushmore for horror's greatest actors, it'd be Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. And in regards to Cushing and Lee, one way to contextualize their often intersecting careers would be to say that they were essentially the Nas and Jay Z of British horror throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
You're going to see "legend" and "icon" next to Christopher Lee's name a lot on Twitter and across the Internet over the next few days, film lovers. Rest assured that each mention will be inarguably legit.
To celebrate Lee's exceptional resume, check out the photos above to see the man in action.

Supporters of the August Wilson Center for African American Culture breathed a sigh of relief last week when the Pittsburgh Foundation announced it had joined with other local foundations in a bid to purchase the ailing institution. Most importantly for advocates, the foundations say they plan to maintain the center's original mission: preserving and celebrating local black culture.
"When I heard the foundations were coming together to make a bid, I was thrilled," says Tim Stevens, chairman of the Black Political Empowerment Project. "We specifically pushed for that."
"The foundation consortium's primary objective is to explore opportunities to save the August Wilson Center in the hope that it may re-open and remain operating for the long term, fulfilling its essential role as the community's hub for African-American arts and culture," said John Ellis, Pittsburgh Foundation spokesperson, in a statement.
While the announcement is good news for those who want to see the August Wilson Center continue its focus on African-American culture, nothing is certain. The foundation wasn't the only bidder for the center, and so far, neither the number nor identities of the other bidders has been released by Judith Fitzgerald, the court-appointed conservator charged with resolving the center's debt. Also not known is what other bidders might do with the center.
"I appreciate the interest of the press and public in the status of affairs at the August Wilson Center," Fitzgerald said in a statement. "I am not ready to issue a formal announcement as my team and I are still actively working on a variety of possible solutions. When we have something final to report, I will let you know. I anticipate making an announcement in the near future."
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Lawrence O'Toole will have to approve any final settlement.
Right now, even Dollar Bank, which holds the mortgage on the property and initiated foreclosure proceedings last September, is in the dark about who else has bid on the center.
"We communicate with the receiver and receive some information [but] I have not seen [the bids]," says Dollar Bank attorney Eric Schaffer. "I've heard about them, but I don't think I know any more than [what] the receiver has announced."
Some observers are expressing concern about the lack of transparency,
The center is burdened with nearly $10 million in debt, $7 million of which belongs to Dollar Bank. Fitzgerald declined an earlier foundation-led bid, offering $4 million for the center, because it didn't cover the amount owed. Some worry that this bid, too, could be turned down if it doesn't pay off the center's obligations — and that other, competing bids might not aim to keep the center's mission intact.
"I'm hoping the conservator and Dollar Bank will do everything they can to make that bid work," Stevens says. "Obviously Dollar Bank contributed greatly and needs to get their money back, but there is a greater calling here. The August Wilson Center was designed as the hub of African-American culture in our city and it is vital for it to remain so."
Fitzgerald has repeatedly stated her preference to sell the center to an entity that would keep its mission intact. However, if a bid does not meet the debt owed to Dollar Bank, as previously reported by City Paper, the bank can counter-bid the $7 million owed to them, says Schaffer, and potentially claim the building.
To place a bid, interested parties were required to sign a confidentiality agreement, in order to keep details of the center's finances under wraps. But these kinds of confidentiality agreements are customary in the bidding process.
"There are restrictive covenants involved," says Kimberly Ellis, niece of the center's namesake (and no relation to the Pittsburgh Foundation spokesman). "I think the process should be more transparent, but if someone wanted to express interest, they had to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Ellis has also cited the fees paid to Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald and her staff charge $350 an hour and claim to work 12-to-16-hour days; the charges have reached $150,000 as of February, according to court documents. "The lack of transparency, her fees, are troubling," says Ellis, who has raised questions about how Fitzgerald is benefitting financially from the sale. "The story's not over yet."
Ellis wasn't the only one expressing concerns. Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who represents the public's interest in the center's sale, objected to a $50,000 bill submitted by Fitzgerald in February.
In a court document filed Feb. 18, Kane wrote, "The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by its Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane, in her capacity as parens patriae, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court not grant at this time, the Conservator for the August Wilson Center for African American Culture First Allowance and Payment of Conservators Fees and Expenses ...."
According to that document filed by Kane, portions of Fitzgerald's bill were redacted. In order to resolve the matter, Fitzgerald agreed to let the court review the original bill, but did not allow the original to be entered into court documents, where it would be available for public view.
"The redactions that are in the Receiver's detailed fee entries were made for the sole purpose of protecting the attorney-client privilege, or other confidential information that is subject to confidential and non-disclosure agreements, such as the name of parties interested in purchasing the August Wilson Center facility," Fitzgerald said in her response to the objection.
In the meantime, many are relieved to know there is at least one option on the table to keep the center's mission.
"That sounds great to me," says Paradise Gray, who hosted a Feb. 8 town-hall meeting and March 7 rally to save the center, along with his wife, Renee Gray, another August Wilson relative. "From what I've heard about it, [their bid] sounds satisfactory to me. That's what I want — that the center continues to serve as an African-American cultural center."
Gray hopes the public and local politicians can put some pressure on the conservator and Dollar Bank to ensure they accept the foundations' bid.
"They are supposed to be working for the good of the center, and if that's what they're working for, they should accept the bid that wants to keep its mission intact," Gray says. "I would love to know more about who the other bidders were. I'd also like it if more local politicians would get behind maintaining the August Wilson Center for the reason it was created."
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald has said he and Mayor Bill Peduto are working on ways to save the center, but neither has come forward with a plan to date.

New flagship Apple Store green-lit by San Francisco Planning Commission
After a hearing on Thursday, the San Francisco Planning Commission approved Apple's final plans for a two-story flagship retail outlet, which one company representative said will be more iconic than the Fifth Avenue location in New York.
According to notes published by the city Planning Commission, plans for the Union Square Apple Store received a preliminary recommendation of "approve with conditions." Specifically, a review and alteration of the store's second level, as well as tweaks to the rear plaza, are required to move forward.
Following the two-hour hearing, ifo Apple Store's Gary Allen tweeted that an Apple rep said the new outlet would be more iconic than the company's Fifth Avenue location. That location boasts a giant glass cube designed by late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.
The determination comes less than a week after AppleInsider discovered newly-submitted renderings and detailed architectural plans for the site, which call for a redesigned front facade and other alterations.
As part of the deal, Apple must comply with certain stipulations pertaining to the preservation of the surrounding area as well as a controversial folk art fountain sculpture located in a plaza behind the store.
Since being announced in 2013, plans for the Union Square Apple Store have gone through a number of revisions. The original design caused a fracas as it apparently called for the removal of the fountain installation. Designed by local artist Ruth Asawa, the sculpture tells the history of San Francisco and consists of 41 plaques made of baker's dough then cast in bronze.
The most recent Apple Store design, included in the packet embedded below, features a cantilevered building structure with an all-glass front holding two giant two-story sliding glass doors. Other improvements over older designs include a waterfall and free Wi-Fi in the rear plaza.

This is my favorite valentine photo card, because it's cute enough to give to a girl, but with its orange and blue color theme it's also perfectly fine to give to a guy.
This card is a good one to use if you have nice individual photos of you and your sweetheart. I think it would look extra sweet if you got photos of one of you looking to the left and the other looking to the right, so that it looks as though you're looking at each other.
A cutesy style swirly heart photo frame. I like this photo card because it reminds me of theme parks and the bright, fun photo cards they sometimes sell there.
Give your valentine a card "with love", literally! This card has the words "with love" in English, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Greek...
Is this an old-school photo development line or a washing line? Either way you and your loved one will look lovely in this photo card.
Is there electricity between you and your valentine? Because in this card the flowers at the top almost look like sparks or fireworks flying off the two of you.
Will you be my tweetheart? Sorry, couldn't help myself 8-) If you've ever wished that you and your valentine could fly away together like two birds then this is the card for you.
A card for the lovey doveys out there. Guys, this is a great card to give your girlfriend if she's into pretty, lacy things. Girls, this card is probably too feminine to give your boyfriend... go for the orange and blue themed card instead.
An elegant card with a heart photo frame among a spray of flowers. For the sophisticated sweetheart.

The now largely-defunct Arthur Andersen is paying $16 million to Enron creditors, according to Bloomberg, to settle claims that the firm was negligent in auditing and advising the energy trader. A hearing for a bankruptcy judge to approve the settlement is set for May 14th. The payment would resolve a lawsuit accusing Arthur Andersen of approving transactions that manipulated Enron's financial condition for the benefit of its executives. The firm was convicted by a federal jury in 2002 of obstructing an investigation into Enron's collapse. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the verdict in 2005.
A private research group says that consumer confidence soared in April amid hopeful signs that the economy is starting to stabilize. The Conference Board says that its consumer confidence index rose 12 points to 39.2, up from a revised 26.9 in March. The reading marks the highest point since November and well surpasses economists' expectations for a level of 29.5. The expectations index, which measures how shoppers feel about the economy over the next six months, skyrocketed to 49.5 from 30.2 in March. Earlier, a housing index showed that home prices dropped sharply in February, but for the first time in 25 months the decline was not a record–another sign the housing crisis could be bottoming.
The outlook for executive employment is showing some improvement, according to ExecuNet's recruiter confidence index. It inched higher for the second consecutive month. According to the April survey of 142 executive recruiters, 41 per cent are confident or very confident the executive employment market will improve in the next six months—up from 38 per cent last month and 28 per cent in February.
You see "help wanted" signs in fast food restaurants. But the recession will make it extremely difficult for teenagers to find employment this summer, according to outplacement consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The firm says it possible that for the first time since 1954 fewer than a million 16- to 19-year-olds will find summer jobs, based on recent trends. As of March 31st, 4.7 million in that age group were employed.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis says the agency continues working to close the pay gap in the work force. She says women still earn just 78 cents for every dollar a man earns. But new numbers say the gender gap in pay among federal employees is shrinking. Women working in the federal government still earn less than their male counterparts. But the difference in average annual salary for men and women has declined from 19 cents to 11 cents on the dollar between 1998 and 2007. That's according to a draft report from the Government Accountability Office. The report says all but seven cents of the gap can be accounted for by differences in measurable factors, such as differences in education levels and the type of jobs men and women had. The gap narrowed the more men and women shared characteristics, including the jobs held, levels of experience and education. The gap among federal employees has been steadily shrinking since 1988, when female government workers earned 28 cents on the dollar less than men.
A widely watched housing index shows home prices dropped in February, but for the first time in 16 months the decline was not a record. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index of home prices in 20 major cities dropped by 18.6 per cent from February 2008, slightly better than the 19 per cent in January. The ten-city index slid 18.8 per cent, compared to 19.4 per cent the month before. But the good news was mixed. All 20 cities in the report showed monthly and annual price declines, and half recorded annual records. Prices fell by more than 10 percent in 15 cities. Prices in the 20-city index have plunged 30.7 percent from their peak in the summer of 2006, and the 10-city index has lost more than 31.6 percent.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Bank of America and Citigroup have been told by regulators that "stress test" results show they may need to raise additional capital. Each bank has received $45 billion in government bailout funds. The paper says Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America is looking at a shortfall in the billions of dollars. It cites people familiar with the situation. According to the Journal, both banks plan to rebut the preliminary findings, with Bank of America expected to respond today ahead of its shareholder meeting tomorrow. Citigroup has declined comment and Bank of America officials weren't immediately available to comment. The Federal Reserve stresses that a bank's need for more capital reserves to meet the requirements should not be considered a measure of the "current solvency or viability of the firm."
The Obama administration says General Motors' proposed restructuring deal is an important step in pulling the company from the brink. The plan would make the federal government a majority shareholder in the automaker. But the administration says it hasn't yet made a final decision on whether to accept the deal. GM plans to ask the government to take more than 50 per cent of its common stock in exchange for canceling half the government loans to the company as of June 1st. The swap would cancel about $10 billion in debt. On addition, GM is offering stock to the united auto workers for at least 50 per cent of the $20 billion the company must pay into a union run trust. The restructuring plans would also see the automaker shed 21,000 jobs and drop its Pontiac division. GM CEO Fritz Henderson says if the debt exchange isn't successful, he would expect GM to file for bankruptcy protection somewhere around June 1st.
GM says it will force 1,000 to 1,200 underperforming dealerships to close their doors as the automaker tries to thin dealer ranks to make the remaining outlets stronger. Dealers were told of the move in a video conference. In addition, the company expects to lose 500 Hummer and Saturn dealers when the brands close or are sold, and it expects 400 dealers to close voluntarily. Another 500 would be consolidated into other dealers. A dealer who watched the conference told the Associated Press about the changes, and company spokeswoman Susan Garantakos confirmed the numbers. The company announced it plans to reduce dealerships by 42 per cent from 2008 to 2010, cutting them from 6,246 to 3,605.
A person familiar with the talks says the Treasury Department has reached a tentative agreement with four of Chrysler's major debt holders as the automaker races to stave off bankruptcy. Under the agreement, the four banks will forgo claims to their portion of Chrysler's $6.9 billion debt in exchange for $2 billion in cash when the deal closes. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been formally announced. The person says Treasury needs to persuade all 46 banks and hedge funds that hold Chrysler debt to go along. If not, a bankruptcy filing could still be possible for the nation's third largest automaker.
United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger says the union's factory-level leaders voted unanimously Monday night to recommend that members approve concessions designed to keep Chrysler out of bankruptcy. Union leaders say ratification votes across the nation should be finished by Wednesday. That's one day before Chrysler's government-imposed deadline to restructure or the government will end all aid to the struggling company. Chrysler is living on $4 billion in U.S. government loans and must win concessions from its unions, swap equity for debt and ink a partnership deal with Fiat. Without the deals, Chrysler almost certainly will be auctioned off in pieces.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System says it will vote against re-electing all 18 Bank of America board members, including CEO Ken Lewis. The influential fund says Lewis and the board failed to disclose information on Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch. "The entire board failed in its duties to shareowners and should be removed," Rob Feckner, system board president, said in a statement. Bank of America is scheduled to hold its annual meeting on Wednesday in Charlotte, and management has been under pressure lately as more holders express their displeasure with the bank's current leaders.
There are major wins and at least one loss for the president in a budget plan agreement sealed with Congressional Democrats. The $3.5 trillion plan announced by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad calls for an overhaul of the health care system. It would prevent Senate Republicans from delaying or blocking Obama's plan to vastly expand government-subsidized health care this fall. The outline also embraces funds for domestic programs and clean energy and a tax increase for high earners. But the plan also allows Obama's signature $400 tax cut for most workers to lapse at the end of next year. Conrad says he thinks the plan, which leads to a more than half-trillion dollar deficit, is a "good budget." But, he says more needs to be done to get the country on a "more sustainable course."
Air travel is down for the ninth consecutive month, according to aviation data consultant OAG, as reported by the Houston Business Journal. The world's airlines scheduled six per cent fewer flights compared to the same time last year, with a three per cent drop in capacity. That's a reduction of more than 136,000 flights and nine million seats, year-over-year. Flight schedules in Europe are down by eight per cent, with capacity down by seven per cent. North America has a nine per cent drop in domestic flights and an eight per cent drop in capacity.
Oil refiner Valero Energy says first-quarter profits rose more than 18 per cent, easily beating beat Wall Street expectations as higher refining margins offset weak gasoline demand. The San Antonio-based company said that net income for the January-March period amounted to $309 million–up from the $261 million it earned a year ago. Revenue fell 51 per cent to $13.82 billion from a year ago with the recession eating into demand for energy.

Photo taken on Oct. 7, 2019 shows the announcement of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 7, 2019. The prize was awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza "for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability," said the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute. (Xinhua/Zheng Huansong)
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Three scientists have shared 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the Nobel committee announced here on Monday.
The prize has been awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza "for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability," said the Nobel assembly at the Karolinska Institute.
Thomas Perlmann, secretary-general of the Nobel Committee and the Nobel Assembly, told a press conference that he was able to reach all three laureates, and they were "really happy, almost speechless and happy to share the prize."
Animals need oxygen for the conversion of food into useful energy. The fundamental importance of oxygen has been understood for centuries, but how cells adapt to changes in levels of oxygen has long been unknown, said a press release.
Oxygen sensing is central to a large number of diseases. The discoveries made by this year's laureates have fundamental importance for physiology and have paved the way for promising new strategies to fight anemia, cancer and many other diseases, according to the committee.
The three scientists have identified molecular machinery that regulates the activity of genes in response to varying levels of oxygen, the committee said.
"The significance of the discovery is the basic science finding really, but it is one that impacts everyday life very broadly," Randall Johnson from the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine told Xinhua.
Kaelin, born in New York, is an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 1998. Semenza, also born New York, is the Director of the Vascular Research Program at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering since 2003. Ratcliffe is the Director of Clinical Research at Francis Crick Institute, London, Director for Target Discovery Institute in Oxford and Member of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.
This year's prize is 9 million Swedish krona (about 1 million U.S. dollars), which will be equally shared among three laureates.

Editor's Note: The amendment of 6-13-1972 changed the term "Tax Collector," as originally defined, to "Secretary of the Borough of West View," and also provided that all references in the ordinance to "Tax Collector" be changed to "Secretary."
No operator shall conduct any commercial parking place without obtaining an annual license for each parking place, as required by this chapter. Every operator who does not have a license on the effective date of this chapter shall obtain a license for each parking place for the calendar year 1972 within the first 30 days following the effective date of this chapter, and every person who intends to begin operating a parking place shall obtain a license for such parking place from the Building Inspector for the Borough of West View before beginning such operation. Subject to the provisions of this chapter, each license shall remain in effect until the end of the calendar year for which it was issued.
To obtain and renew the annual license for each parking place, every operator or applicant shall file an application with the Building Inspector for the Borough of West View on a form prescribed by the Building Inspector. The application shall be accompanied by the following:
A certificate of insurance showing that the applicant has secured, for the year involved, public liability insurance coverage for the parking place, with limits of not less than $50,000 for personal injuries and of not less than $10,000 for property damage.

With respect to commercial parking places which consist entirely of open lots rather than buildings, a sketch or plot plan showing the location, size and capacity of the parking place, the location and size of driveways, entrances and exits and their proximity to sidewalks and structures, the character of curbing, fencing, walls or other enclosures surrounding the lot, the locations where signs are to be posted and the character and size thereof, and such other pertinent information as may be required by the Building Inspector. However, the Building Inspector may permit the omission of such sketch or plot plan in the application for renewal of licenses where no changes have occurred since the issuance of the prior license.
If the application meets the requirements of this chapter and of any other applicable ordinance, the Building Inspector for the Borough of West View shall issue a license to the applicant. No license fee shall be charged unless the application is submitted after the date on which such application is required to be filed, in which event a late application penalty fee of $10 shall be paid by the applicant. No license shall be transferred from one operator to another or from any commercial parking place to another.
Every operator shall, from and after 30 days following the effective date of this chapter, post and maintain, in a conspicuous place at each entrance to each parking place, a sign showing the schedule of rates charged, the operator's name and address and the operator's license number printed in letters of such size and character as to be readily readable by prospective patrons.
The operator shall maintain each parking place in such a condition as not to constitute a hazard to the patrons thereof or the motor vehicles parked therein, and shall also comply with the following requirements:
Parking and driving areas shall be of smooth, compact surfacing.
Commercial parking places located on open lots shall be properly enclosed or maintained, with bumper protection for sidewalks and adjacent properties.
Entrances and exits to and from parking places shall be plainly marked and so situated as to avoid obstructing traffic on the abutting street, and so as to prevent interference with or obstruction of pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk.
No operator shall permit any motor vehicle brought to any commercial parking place to be parked on a street or sidewalk.[1]
The Building Inspector may adopt such regulations, not inconsistent with this chapter, as are necessary or proper for the administration and enforcement of its provisions.
The Building Inspector may revoke any license issued to any operator who violates any provision of this chapter or of any regulations adopted hereunder, and may reinstate the same if compliance is thereafter assured. Said revocation must meet with the approval of the majority of the members of the Council of the Borough of West View.
[Amended 2-2-1977 by Ord. No. 1191]
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter or any regulations adopted pursuant to it shall, upon conviction thereof before any Magisterial District Judge, be liable for a fine of not more than $300, plus costs of prosecution and, in default of the payment of such fine and costs, shall be imprisoned in the Allegheny County Jail or Allegheny County Workhouse for a period of not more than 30 days.

From Academy Award-winning director Steve McQueen (12 YEARS A SLAVE) and co-writer and best-selling author Gillian Flynn (GONE GIRL) comes a blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption. WIDOWS is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities. Set in contemporary Chicago amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar winner Viola Davis), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. Co-starring Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Lukas Haas and Brian Tyree Henry.
Garth Davis' feature debut follows the journey of Saroo, a 5-year old boy alone in Calcutta after being separated from his family; 20 years after being adopted by an Australian couple, he uses Google Earth to search for his birth mother. Newcomer Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel are both tremendously affecting as the young and old Saroo, and they receive strong support from costars Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara and David Wenham in this heartwarming true story. "A sober and yet profoundly stirring contemplation of family, roots, identity and home, which engrosses throughout the course of its two-hour running time." - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
This graceful adaptation of Mitch Cullin's 2005 novel A Slight Trick of the Mind is set in 1947, when a 93-year-old Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) has retired to a Sussex farm he shares with widowed housekeeper Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney) and her son (Milo Parker). Struggling with both memory loss and the fictionalization of his exploits, Holmes tries to deduce what went wrong in his final case 30 years earlier. "What Ian McKellen does with Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective in MR. HOLMES is nothing short of magnificent." – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.

If you want to access your new TP-Link TL-WR841N router but do not know where to start, here is the guide that you need. We all need to change some settings such as the Wi-Fi password or shifting from DHCP to Static and vice versa at some point. So here is a simple and short tutorial on how you can do that without messing up your internet access.
But first, you have to remember that everything you change in the admin control center, you should save and know what it is for or what it does. Except for the password and username, other features of this router can affect your access to the network or the internet speed itself. But as long as you follow the instructions here, there won't have any problems. So let's begin.
Access TP-LINK TL-WR841N Router
- First, make sure that the router is switched on.
- Connect to the Wi-Fi network or if you are using a wired setup such as a computer, then you can be able to connect to the TP-Link control center.
- Open a browser and type to the address bar the http://tplinklogin.net or use 192.168.l.l
- When asked for the username and password, the default is "admin". That is admin for username and admin for the password. That should be easy, right?
- Press Enter and the control center user interface will appear.
- If this is your first time, you can use the Quick Setup to setup your network and internet connection via TP-Link's standard and default requirement. If you are a power user or an advanced user, you can also manually change the settings based on your preferences.
That is how easy you can access control center of the TP-Link TL-WR841N Router. If you are planning to change the password, make sure to take note of any changes that you do. If you are bad at remembering your password, write it on a piece of paper or save it somewhere safe. Make sure to use a password that is easy for you to remember and a hard time for anybody else to figure out.
For other concerns and inquiries, please feel free to leave your questions and thoughts in the comment section. Just a question, how is this router better than other routers in the market based on your experience? Let us know down below.

A melt in the mouth apple tart tatin made with ginger and salted butter caramel.
Preheat the oven to 210 °C.
Peel and finely dice the ginger. Peel, core and quarter the apples.
Heat a heavy based pan and add 100 g of sugar. Melt the sugar without stirring until you have a golden brown caramel. Remove from the heat and pour a layer of caramel into your individual tart moulds. Arrange the apples on top of the caramel and sprinkle with a little chopped ginger, a few little pieces of butter and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Use a pastry cutter to cut rounds from the puff pastry sheets. Brush with the beaten egg and set aside in a cool place.
Remove the apples from the oven and cover with a puff pastry disc.Return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
Heat a second heavy based frying pan and add 200 g of sugar. Melt it to a caramel and then add 40g of butter and mix through. Add the cream and stir over a gently heat until you have a smooth caramel.
Remove the tart tatin from the oven and turn them out of the moulds on to serving plates. Serve with a generous drizzle of the lightly salted caramel.
«This recipe can also be made using pears. Feel free to make it without ginger if you prefer.»

But hey, there's one good news for you.
The new price will be effective starting 20th June. Till then, we are happy honoring the current price. So, go lock in the current prices before the change is made.

New Zealand Take Control
New Zealand 508-7 dec. & 14-2 v
West Indies 262 (Chanderpaul 84no)
First Test, Jamaica, day three
Tim Southee and Mark Craig took four wickets apiece to help New Zealand build a 260-run lead by stumps on day three of the first Test against the West Indies in Jamaica.
Only Chris Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul offered much resistance as the home side were dismissed for 262 in reply to New Zealand's 508 for seven declared.
Southee and Craig both took four wickets to hand the tourists a 246-run lead on first innings, although they decided against enforcing the follow-on.
The Black Caps then lost the wickets of Peter Fulton and Kane Williamson to close on 14 for two but remain firmly in control of the match.
Resuming on 19 without loss in the morning, West Indian openers Gayle and Kieran Powell faced a stern test against Southee and Trent Boult.
Southee in particular had Gayle in all sorts of trouble and the experienced left-hander played and missed at a string of deliveries but managed to survive until the less experienced slow bowlers Craig, Ish Sodhi and Jimmy Neesham were introduced.
It was Powell who fell first as the West Indies lost three wickets for one run to go from 60 without loss to 61 for three.
He was trapped in front by Craig for 28, Kirk Edwards was caught by Ross Taylor three balls later and then Darren Bravo was caught and bowled by Sodhi, the latter two players failing to score.
Gayle and Chanderpaul then combined to steady the ship and take the score past 100 before Gayle edged Southee to BJ Watling for 64 in 125 balls.
Southee continued his fine effort by trapping Marlon Samuels (0) in front for a two-ball duck, reaping deserved rewards for an excellent display of fast bowling.
Meanwhile, Chanderpaul stood firm on his way to 84 not out 138 balls, finding support from Denesh Ramdin (39), Sulieman Benn (17) and Shane Shillingford (14) but the West Indies never seriously threatened to avoid the possibility of following on.
Southee had Ramdin caught behind on the stroke of tea and wrapped up the innings when Shillingford was also caught by Watling.
Craig completed figures of four for 91 by having Kemar Roach (4) caught by Fulton and bowling Benn while Boult had Jerome Taylor caught by Brendon McCullum for seven.
Southee, though, deserves enormous credit for his four for 19 in 16.2 overs which included nine maidens.
New Zealand opted against bowling again but were quickly in some bother in their second innings when Fulton, who managed just one run in the first innings, chased a wide one and was caught by Ramdin off Taylor for a two-ball duck.
Williamson, who scored a gritty century in the first innings, ground out two in 30 balls before making a misjudgment and leaving a Roach deliver onto his stumps.
Tom Latham had made eight in 26 balls and nightwatchman Sodhi joined him at the fall of Williamson's wicket and had made four not out in 20 balls by the close of play.
Neesham also scored a century during New Zealand's innings and was the only bowler to go wicketless when the Black Caps bowled, Boult returning one for 67 and Sodhi one for 69.

"Philip, you--and all the rest of you, too--have been with me for almost three years and yet you still don't know me."
We were shocked to hear these words. All twelve of us had been his closest associates these past three years. We had traveled throughout our home country with him. We had carefully observed him interact with all types of people in all manner of circumstances. We were puzzled, dismayed, even angry at what we thought was his unjust and untrue characterization of us, his dearest friends. Had our service to him and his cause been in vain?
Within these pages, Garrett Whitworth introduces The Man Nobody Knew, the man every person somehow innately desires to know. It's an irresistible, compelling, surprising road trip from Nazareth to Jerusalem, from a wooden manger to a wooden tree. Feel the Palestinian dust in your sandals, savor fish, freshly-roasted over an open fire by the Sea of Galilee, see him walk on water and raise the dead, hear him say, "Follow me."

Major Blogs Package Upgrade Underway
Will • 18 Mar 2007 (18:08 UTC)
We have exciting news, we are undertaking a major upgrade of the blogs package! The blogs package has been one of the most in need of upgrading from tikiwiki's structure. The changes are excellent, however they are not complete. And the process of completing this work could be disruptive to existing bitweaver R2 installs. New changes to blogs are being inserted into HEAD branch in cvs. If you are running an R2 site and using the blogs package it is VERY IMPORTANT that you NOT cvs up blogs until the full refactoring is complete.
To avoid accidentally cvs updating your blogs dir, you should:
mv blogs/CVS blogs/CVS_DISABLE
We expect the full refactoring will be complete within two weeks. This refactoring of blogs was prompted by a client project which has a final launch of April 10th, so we are aggressively pursuing these upgrades to be complete well before that date.
Here is a summary that describes how blogs is being improved, what the differences are from the current blogs package, and how backward compatibility is being assured.
Better Blogs One Post at a TimeAround the interest of supporting better community blogging features in bitweaver, we are bringing a better overall structure to the entire blogs package in the coming upgrade. One of the central features of community blogs is the ability of every member of a site to be able to post, and for admins to have front page or special blogs that they can post to and promote user posts to. The upgrades coming to bitweaver will now facilitate this and much more.
The key change we are making to blogs is: posting no longer requires a blog to post into. So anyone with the permission to post can create a post. In the past you had to post into a blog - which meant a bitweaver site either had to have a blog that allowed anyone to post to or the user had to first create a blog they could post to. Meanwhile who could post to a blog was a all or one situation - either all users could post to a blog or only one user could, the blog's creator. Select groups of users could not be empowered to be the posters to a particular blog. The comming upgrade solves all this.
Users no longer require a blog in order to post, This eliminates a needless step in post creation and reduces blog overhead.
Posts will be joined to blogs through a mapping table. This means posts live independently, but can also be associated with a blog or even multiple blogs. This transforms blogs into spaces where groups of users can post to. It also means posts from other users, who otherwise do not have permission to post to a blog, can be promoted to a blog by an admin. This is a common desirable feature in community blogging today.
Rights to post to blogs will now be governed by more sophisticated permissions. Multiple groups can be assigned the permission to post to a blog or multiple blogs.
Half Way ThereMost of the work required to change the fundamental relationship between posts and blogs has been complete. However, what is not complete is permission checking to make sure the right people can post to the right blogs. As a consequence some of the features of joining posts to blogs are broken for the moment and the changes are not yet compatible with existing bitweaver sites. Most importantly for existing sites, users would not be restricted to posting to only the blogs they have created.
The permission problem and making blogs backward compatible for existing sites is being worked on. Concurrent to the blog upgrade we are doing a significant revision to the core permissions system. This work, when complete, will then make all the blog permission problems solvable, and they should be solvable rather quickly. We will create an upgrade which translates legacy blog posting permissions to the new blog posting permissions configuration. In the end, the new blogs will bring the better configuration described above while preserving blog posting associations between users and their blogs on legacy sites.
