Works well in lessons too. Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. W. H. Auden Even in the movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_a-eXIoyYA Back to top SashadroogieJoined: 17 Apr 2007Posts: 11061Location: Moskva, The Workers' Paradise Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 12:48 pm Post subject: RUSSIA'S LAMENT Dost thou know, my native country, Any house or corner lone Where thy Tiller and thy Sower, Russia's peasant, does not moan? In the fields, along the highways, In the cells and dungeons black, In the mines in iron fetters, By the side of barn and stack; 'Neath the carts, his nightly shelter On the steppes so wide and bare, All the air is filled with groaning Every hour and everywhere. Groans in huts, in town and village E'en the sunlight's self he hates Groans before the halls of justice, Buffetings at mansion-gates. On the Volga, hark, what wailing O'er the mighty river floats? 'Tis a song, they saythe chanting Of the men who haul the boats. Thou dost not in spring, vast Volga, Flood the fields along thy strand As our nation's flood of sorrow, Swelling, overflows the land. O my heart, what is the meaning Of this endless anguish deep? Wilt thou ever, O my country, Waken, full of strength, from sleep? Or, by heaven's mystic mandate, Is thy fate fulfilled to-day, Singing thus thy dirge, thy death-song, Falling then asleep for aye? N. A. Nekrasov Back to top SashadroogieJoined: 17 Apr 2007Posts: 11061Location: Moskva, The Workers' Paradise Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 4:05 pm Post subject: I am weary and sad, and there is no one To whom I can stretch out my hand In the hour of my soul's distress... Desires! What is the use of desiring vainly and forever? And the years slip by - all the best years. To love? But whom? For a time it's not worth the trouble, And to love forever is impossible. If you look within yourself, there is no trace of the past there; The joys and the torments - everything there is worthless... What of passions? Sooner or later their sweet sickness Will vanish at the word of reason; And life, if you look around with cold attention, Is such a hollow and stupid farce...

Милый мой, ты у меня в груди. Предназначенное расставанье Обещает встречу впереди. До свиданья, друг мой, без руки, без слова, Не грусти и не печаль бровей,- В этой жизни умирать не ново, Но и жить, конечно, не новей. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye My love, you are in my heart. It was preordained we should part And be reunited by and by. Goodbye: no handshake to endure. Let's have no sadness furrowed brow. There's nothing new in dying now Though living is no newer.

Youre probably in bed. The Milky Way is like Oka of silver No need for me to rush. I have no reasons left to stir you with the lightnings of my cable ferver. And so they say, the incident dissolved. The Love Boat smashed up on the dreary routine. Were even. Theres no use in keeping the score of mutual hurts, affliction and spleen. Look here, the world exudes an eerie calm. The sky bequeathed to us its constellations. In periods like this Id like to be the one with ages, history and the creation.

Our March Beat the squares with the tramp of rebels! Higher, rangers of haughty heads! We'll wash the world with a second deluge, Nows the hour whose coming it dreads. Too slow, the wagon of years, The oxen of days too glum. Our god is the god of speed, Our heart our battle drum. Is there a gold diviner than ours/ What wasp of a bullet us can sting? Songs are our weapons, our power of powers, Our gold our voices just hear us sing! Meadow, lie green on the earth! With silk our days for us line! Rainbow, give color and girth To the fleet-foot steeds of time. The heavens grudge us their starry glamour. Bah! Without it our songs can thrive. Hey there, Ursus Major, clamour For us to be taken to heaven alive! Sing, of delight drink deep, Drain spring by cups, not by thimbles. Heart step up your beat! Our *beep* be the brass of cymbals.

I love (it is better than all fame) to be quiet beside my book, diligently pursuing knowledge. White Pangur does not envy me: he loves his childish craft. When the two of us (this tale never wearies us) are alone together in our house, we have something to which we may apply our skill, an endless sport. It is usual, at times, as a result of warlike battlings, for a mouse to stick in his net. For my part, into my net falls some difficult rule of hard meaning. He directs his bright eye against an enclosing wall. Though my clear eye is very weak I direct it against keenness of knowledge. He is joyful with swift movement when a mouse sticks in his sharp paw. I too am joyful when I understand a dearly loved difficult problem. Thought we be thus at any time, neither of us hinders the other: each of us likes his craft, severally rejoicing in them. He it is who is master for himself of the work which he does every day. I can perform my own work directed at understanding clearly what is difficult.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks dropped Tuesday, with the losses picking up pace following reports that the crisis in Ukraine had escalated.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.06% closed lower by 1% at 326.58 after a flurry of late-afternoon reports about various military activity in Ukraine, stoking fears that the country is on the brink of a civil war.
Russian news agencies reported Kiev-led forces had surrounded the city of Slavyansk in eastern Ukraine, with ITAR-TASS quoting Slavyansk's acting mayor as saying armored vehicles were in place around the area. Meanwhile, part of Russia's 45th Airborne Regiment was seen in the towns of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Vitali Yarema said on television, according to a Bloomberg report.
Earlier Tuesday, Ukraine launched a military operation to win back control of eastern Ukrainian cities from pro-Russian activists. Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news service reported that four militants were killed and two wounded when Ukrainian forces stormed an airport in Kramatorsk, according to Bloomberg.
The crisis in Ukraine appears to have hurt investor confidence in Germany, Europe's largest economy, said the Center for European Economic Research, or Zew institute on Tuesday. Its six-month expectation index in April reached 43.2, falling from 46.6 in March, marking the fourth-consecutive month of declining confidence. Analysts polled by The Wall Street Journal were looking for an April reading of 45.0.
Momentum picked up in Germany's economy at the start of the year, but the "cautious expectations in this month's survey are likely to be caused by the Ukraine conflict, which still creates uncertainty," said the ZEW institute.
German stocks, as gauged by the DAX 30 index DAX, -0.17% fell further as the session headed toward the close, and finished down by 1.8% at 9,173.71. Russia's blue-chips MICEX index XX:MCX lost 2.5% to settle at 1,311.01, and Russia's RTS index RU:RTS was shoved 3.1% lower to 1,141.96.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 UKX, -0.85% fell 0.6% to 6,541.61, and France's CAC 40 PX1, -0.15% gave up gains, closing down 0.9% at 4,345.35.
Among individual movers, L'Oreal SA OR, +0.91% rose 1.1%, adding to Monday's climb of 2.8% after the cosmetics firm forecast a rise in sales and profit this year. Its revenue for the first quarter fell 2.2% on a year-over-year basis, dented by weak currencies in its markets.
Nestlé SA shares NESN, +0.02% reversed gains and slipped 0.2%, with the food producer saying first-quarter sales fell 5.1% on weakness in two key regions and a strong Swiss franc. Drug maker Roche Holding AG ROG, +0.53% also flagged the impact of the strong Swiss currency, posting a 1% decline in first-quarter revenue as it hurt the value of growing sales of Roche's cancer drugs. Excluding the currency impact, sales rose 5%. Roche shares fell 0.4%.
Imperial Tobacco Group UK:IMT tacked on 0.3% after the British company said 900 jobs will be lost as part of its restructuring effort.
But shares of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA BMPS, +1.24% stood out as the worst performer on the Stoxx 600 by stumbling 10.4%. The struggling Italian lender is considering raising up to 5 billion euros ($6.91 billion) in a share sale, more than the 3 billion euros it previously planned to raise. The company needs to repay a government loan of €4.1 billion, and if the share sale doesn't occur this year, the bank faces nationalization.

She's done it again.
Joy Hernandez has got people talking about Kewanee.
Hernandez made a four-minute video during the recent Prairie Chicken Festival which has taken off like a shot since it was posted on YouTube a week ago. As of today, the video is closing in on 8,500 views since Aug. 6.
Last year, Hernandez, a Kewanee native now living in Indianapolis, produced the video that helped the city win Rand McNally's online Best of the Road Friendliest Small Town in America title.
She also recently completed a one-hour documentary on Kewanee's 2013 Walldogs mural experience. "Painting Kewanee — A Small Town Reborn," can be viewed on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/Wr9QzxTIMrA.
Earlier this summer she came up with the idea for the "Kewanee is Happy" online video.
"It will use Pharrell Williams' song 'Happy,' which was the song from the movie 'Despicable Me 2.' Williams has made it available for cities to use, for people to make their own 'Happy' videos, like his original," Hernandez said in an e-mail to this reporter July 7.
"His video consisted of people dancing, or Williams dancing, in front of various backgrounds. There's not a special dance, per se, like the Macarena or the Hustle (or the Dougie or Harlem Shake for kids these days), you just dance however you feel moved to be happy. You can tango! You can waltz! Whatever floats your boat." She said an Indianapolis marketing firm made their own video, using the hashtag #indyishappy. They showed various landmarks and that's where she got the idea. "Big cities are doing these but small towns haven't really, so why not us? The friendliest!
"It's all part of Pharrell's master plan: As long as we don't sell the video (just post to YouTube and share the heck out of it — making it viral), the song is free. He gets his song played all around the world, and gets gobs of press from it, and we have fun. He's just sharing the happy!"
Williams also set up a website called '24 Hours of Happy,' with 24 hours of people dancing to the song. Here's a link to his original: http://youtu.be/y6Sxv-sUYtM.
Hernandez received permission from a number of Kewanee businesses and shot the "raw tape" during the Prairie Chicken Festival and Walldogs painting of the Neville Brand mural at the Wanee Theater.
The finished product is ordinary Kewaneeans being, well…happy, all doing their own dance to "Happy." There's a gas station attendant at Hodge's 66 who really tears it up, and a couple on the patio at the Pioneer Club who actually do a flip. There are many other locations, including the Kewanee Public Library, Reiman's Harley-Davidson, and many of our now-famous murals.
Kewanee firefighters, Wethersfield cheerleaders and Good's Skywalk are also featured.
In posting the completed video on YouTube, Hernandez wrote, "In 2013, Kewanee, Ill., was named the Rand McNally Friendliest Small Town in their Best of the Road competition. We are happy! We continue to be happy, and we wanted the world to know it. What
better way than by doing our own video version of Pharrell Williams' 'Happy.'
"Clap along if you know that's what you want to do!
"Thank you, Pharrell Williams!
"And thank you to all the Kewaneeans willing to break it down for this video!"
Joy must have been running out of people. The video ends with a shot of someone (Joy) in the distance walking away alone over the footbridge at Windmont Park who turns and waves farewell in a "Th-th-th-at's all, folks!" finish.
Once the video was out in cyberspace, it was like bees drawn to honey with over 2,000 views the first two days and counting.
Moline TV station WQAD picked up the video on Friday, Aug. 8, and that weekend Quad City country music station WLLR found and posted it, asking online visitors "Are you in the video? What's your favorite part about living in Kewanee? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com."

STORY: Pierce Waverly, the Earl of Devonmont, has been estranged from his mother for most of his life. When his mother's new companion, Mrs. Camilla Stuart, writes to tell him that his mother is seriously ill, he goes home.
But when he learns that the lovely widow tricked him in order to effect a holiday reconciliation, he refuses to stay—unless she meets his "terms."
Somewhere between trying to seduce the beautiful Camilla and struggling with the cruel memories of his childhood Christmases, Pierce discovers that not only does forgiveness go two ways, but that love can blossom even in the coldest of winters.
REVIEW: If you are a fan of Ms. Jeffries, then I know for sure you'll get this book, however, if you've never ever heard of her name [OMG! Where have you been all this time?], this is a perfect book to start you on a journey of discovery.
Even though we've encountered this novel's hero in Ms. Jeffries earlier books, this story stands on its own and you need not [but you really should, just because they're awesomely good as well] read the earlier books.
Pierce Waverly was a mix of Alpha and Beta heroes. As a child he battled asthma and for the longest time he couldn't understand the reasons behind his exile from the only home he knew. What hurt the most is the abandonment of his parents, though. For years he would spend his school vacations with his cousins until he became an adult.
Miss Camilla Stuart was an exemplary companion to the Dowager Countess of Devonmont, Pierce's mother. Through her conversations and astute observation of the older woman, she notices her silent suffering and decides to interfere by sending Pierce a missive informing him that his mother is ill.
This was such a heartwarming Christmas tale that will keep you spellbound from the first to the last page. The story delves with past mistakes, regrets and many misunderstandings and assumptions, but the heart of it is the love of a mother for her son and the sacrifice she gives for his protection.
It made me go through many emotions; making me cry and laugh and sigh, but it was never ever boring! I highly recommend you read this one.

On this special day, where we pause to offer thanksgiving, there is one who sums up the words in my heart. If you aren't already reading Ann VosKamp, A Holy Experience, you must. She is God's mouthpiece to me on so many mornings. With her permission, I share her thoughts on being thankful. Truly life-changing.
The Real Joy Secret
I wake wanting to die.
Scarlet light bleeds over the horizon, another day aching in. I lie in bed. Pull covers up over my head. I'm withered dry and even the tears won't fall: a heart drought. I lay listening to taunt of the names: Loser. Mess. Failure. Can I shrivel up invisible?
Mothers of six aren't supposed to think this way. Not the happily-married, not the financially solvent.
Not the Christ-followers.
A year of mornings, I wake to the name calling, force feet to the floor anyways. I do pray.But self-hatred is a soul-eating disease and I've cut off parts off myself to survive.
I look in the mirror, into those eyes, and I know. It's time for medication, some happiness from The Healer. Is that even a real possibility? My bones are brittle, dryness of the broken spirit; where on earth – in heaven — do I get some of that joy medicine?
I'm standing in the kitchen, a morning in early November, sky weeping too, colors of the world draining away with the rain, when Jesus hands me the word that He stabbed into the slimy underbelly of the enemy.
There's a good medicine word.

To my dearest readers and friends, may God abundantly bless your thankful heart.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Seven Institute records were shattered on day two of the 2010 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, as Anna Kokensparger and two men's relays achieved All-American status, leaving Tech's men and women 6th and 9th place, respectively, halfway through the meet.
Kokensparger attained her second individual All-American honors with her swim in the 100 Fly, finishing 7th in the championship heat. In the 200 Free Relay, the freshman teamed with junior Amy Jacobi and freshmen Nicole Wang and Elina Hu to break their previous MIT record with their 10th place swim (1:35.09); Jacobi also set a team record in the 50 Free with her opening split (23.76).
In the day's second relay, Hu, Kokensparger, Jacobi and sophomore Sydney Giblin finished 10th again (3:53.90), bettering their seed time and former Institute record by nearly five seconds.
On the men's side, freshman Brendan Deveney stole the MIT 400 IM record back from teammate Tim Stumbaugh in the preliminaries (4:00.41); he finished 15th in the event.
In the 100 Fly, freshman Wyatt Ubellacker opened his preliminary race with a blistering, school-record split of 22.55, but was unable to hold the pace, slipping to finish 17th. Junior Toomas Sepp fared better in the event, setting the Institute record at 49.95 in the prelims before finishing 12th overall (49.98). On the other side of the 50-second mark, senior Jeff Zhou finished 13th (50.17).
Zhou, Ubellacker, sophomore Brett Boval and senior Luke Cummings added to the All-American honors with their 4th-place swim in the 200 Free Relay (1:22.23).
Freshman Ron Rosenberg and Sepp received their first All-American awards when, with Cummings and senior Rastislav Racz, they finished 5th in the 400 Medley Relay (3:20.49), breaking yet another MIT record.
Action continues Friday with the Engineers competing in the 200 Fly, 100 Back, 100 Breast and 800 Free Relay.

Mourners gathered in Mumbai under heavy monsoon rain to bid farewell and catch a final glimpse of Bollywood's first superstar, Rajesh Khanna, who was to be cremated on Thursday.
His body was driven from his residence on an open-back trailer with only his face showing from beneath a blanket of jasmine flowers. Onlookers, many under umbrellas, threw white petals as the funeral cortege passed.
Khanna, popularly known as the "first superstar" of Bollywood and the Hindi film industry's biggest heart-throb in his day, died on Wednesday after months of illness. He was 69.
He was to be cremated later Thursday according to Hindu tradition.
Indian newspapers and television channels led with the news of Khanna's death, with his face appearing on most front pages as tributes poured in from fellow actors, leading politicians and sports stars.
"King of Hearts," said the front page of the English-language tabloid Mail Today, while the serious-minded broadsheet The Hindu ran the headline, "Superstar who turned romance, and even death, into a high art."
Khanna, who had been sick since April with an undisclosed illness rumoured to be cancer, passed away at his family home in Mumbai after being discharged from hospital on Tuesday.
His film debut came in "Aakhri Khat" (The Last Letter) in 1966 but his star rose with runaway hit "Aaradhna" (Worship) three years later, followed by a string of successes, with Khanna typically as the romantic lead.
His prominent hits of the 1970s included "Kati Patang" (Broken Kite), "Amar Prem" (Everlasting Love) and "Anand" (Happiness), in which he played a man who eventually loses his battle with cancer.
In total, he sang, danced and acted in more than 150 films. His smile, twinkling eyes and soft, romantic demeanour charmed legions of besotted female fans.
Soon after his debut Khanna was getting letters written in blood by admirers and his car was said to be stained with lipstick wherever he went. There were even reports of some followers marrying his photographs.

Williamstown, Mass. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams overcame a 13-3 fourth quarter deficit with two touchdown passes from senior Ryan Burgess (Dracut, Mass.) to junior WR A.J. Jones (Freetwon, Sierra Leone) to down the Williams College Ephs, 17-13, in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) football action this afternoon. Burgess and Jones teamed up for the two aerial scores in a 5-minute span.
After a promising opening drive by the Bantams was stymied by a Williams sack of Burgess and a blocked field goal, the Ephs opened the scoring in the game with a touchdown run by Marco Hernandez with 3:19 remaining in the first quarter. After a long pass play from junior quarterback Adam Marske to senior WR Darren Hartwell and and a 16-yard pass to senior tight end Sam Krieg, Trinity stopped free successive rushing attempts from a yard away before Hernandez capped off the 92-yard drive with a one-yard rush on fourth and inches. The Ephs then upped their lead to 10-0 on a 34-yard field goal by Mallock 45 seconds into the second period, as Hartwell keyed the next drive with another long pass play.
The Bantams got on the scoreboard for the first time with 9:30 left in the second quarter. A 37-yard field goal by senior Tim Costello (Solana Beach, Calif.) capped off a nine-play, 54-yard drive from the Bantams, bringing the score to 10-3. A fake-punt end around by senior tri-captain Rae Haynes (Hartford, Conn.) kept the drive alive in the middle of the field, and nice pass from Burgess to first-year WR Ian Dugger (Bloomfield, Conn.) brought the Bantams deeper into Eph territory. The final score of the half came on Mallock's second field goal of the game, splitting the uprights from 43 yards out with 3:02 remaining. Williams partially blocked Costello's third field-goal attempt of the first half, and Williams led at the break 13-3.
After a scoreless third period, Trinity faced a fourth and inches from their own 37. The Bantams went for it, Burgess was successful on a quarterback sneak, and the Bantams capitalized on the offensive momentum with an 11-play, 68-yard drive. Junior RB Evan Bunker (Topsfield, Mass.) recorded a first down for Trinity off a 23-yard toss from Burgess before rushing five yards to the Williams 39-yard line. Burgess then connected a 12-yard pass to senior WR Drew Grombala (Cincinnati, Ohio), and Bunker brought the Bantams to the 22 with another 5-yard run. Burgess had an incomplete pass to Grombala before sending Jones the final 23 yards down the right sideline to the end-zone on a 4th-and-6. With a successful PAT from Costello, the Bantams had closed the Ephs' lead to three, 13-10. The Bantams' drive was highlighted by two successful fourth down conversions.
Gaining momentum from their touchdown, the Bantam defense forced the Ephs to kick after just three plays. Joe Mallock's 40-yard punt was returned by Evan Bunker, who returned it 22 yards to the Trinity 42-yard line. After Bunker completed an option pass to Grombala to convert on third down in the middle of the field, two penalties negated strong strong Bantam running plays that would have put Trinity deep into Williams end. Facing a 3rd-and-20from the Williams 45-yard line, Burgess connected on a wide receiver screeen to Jones on the left sideline. Jones stepped inside the Eph defense and raced down the center of the field to score. Costello's PAT boosted to a 17-13 lead. On the next Eph possession, the Trinity defense swarmed Marske on a third down pass attempt, sacking him for loss of 13 yards and forcing the Ephs to punt. A third-down sack of Marske by Trinity junior ILB Steve Goniprow (Barringto, R.I.) forced a Mallock 56-yard punt to the Trinity 24-yard line, but the Bantams utilized their strong ground game to run out the last six minutes of the contest.
Burgess completed 12 of 21 passes for a total of 177 yards and 2 TDs, while Marske connected on 16 of 30 for 198 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception. The Bantams ground game was led by Bunker who had 29 rushes for 165 yards for an average of 5.7 yards per carry, and Burgess with 13 carries for 46 yards. Marco Hernandez topped the charts for the Ephs, rushing 12 times for a total of 42 yards. Trinity had 261 yards on the ground, while Williams had 39. The Trinity defense was spearheaded by senior CB Nick Campbell (New Alnaby, Ohio) and sophomore LB Rob Gau (Westport, Conn.) who both had six solo tackles. Chris Cameron and Chris Kim led the Williams effort. Cameron had 8 solos and 3 assists, while Kim completed 6 solos and 3 assists.

|Williams (1-1)
Williamstown, Mass. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams overcame a 13-3 fourth quarter deficit with two touchdown passes from senior Ryan Burgess (Dracut, Mass.) to junior WR A.J. Jones (Freetwon, Sierra Leone) to down the Williams College Ephs, 17-13, in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) football action this afternoon. Burgess and Jones teamed up for the two aerial scores in a 5-minute span.

DeKALB – The city of DeKalb gave final approval to its set of housing ordinances Monday night, setting the fees and staffing levels necessary to carry them out.
The city will hire a mixture of full-time and part-time staff to implement the various housing ordinances, which include measures such as annual registration of landlords and requiring all tenants to not commit illegal activities in their apartments.
To fund the four staffers (three of which are full-time, and two are inspectors), the city will charge rental properties $50 a building and $15.24 a rental unit for three or more units. This would amount to $227,000 in fees. The city will chip in $57,000 of its own money, bringing the total cost of the program to $284,000.
Mayor Kris Povlsen and four aldermen signed off on the fee proposal and the ordinances' second reading, making the votes the final action.
Aldermen David Jacobson and Monica O'Leary, of the First and Seventh Wards, respectively, voted against the funding/staffing proposal as well as the ordinances' final reading. Sixth Ward Alderman Dave Baker was not at the meeting.
City Manager Mark Biernacki previously asked the council to establish a five-member housing bureau, the cost of which would be split between the city's general revenue fund and registration fees.
But there was no consensus on this issue, forcing Biernacki to come up with three other options the aldermen debated Monday night.
For their part, the DeKalb Area Renters Association declared their opposition to all of the funding options possible.
"It puts almost the whole cost of the program on the backs of rental properties," said Jim Morel, president of DARA and a landlord. Morel advocated that any inspection program should be funded by the city's general revenue fund.
"As we have said before, the benefits and enforcement of these ordinances should apply equally across the community," Morel said. "Therefore, the cost should be applied evenly across the tax base."
Both DARA and the council gave their support to mandatory crime-free lease addendums, crime-free training for the landlords, a "three strikes" disorderly house provision, and a sidewalk exterior inspection program.
Aldermen Tom Teresinski, Ronald Naylor, and Brendon Gallagher, of the Second, Fifth and Fourth Wards, respectively, were major proponents of the funding proposal the council adopted.
"We need the ability to ensure what we're putting in place is strongly enforced," Teresinski said, noting other communities have similar programs in place.
Monday night's vote closes the book on a discussion the council began nearly two years ago. A housing task force was formed, which eventually created the ordinances the council approved.

Something Still Missing………..
The 2008 season is finally here…
However, it feels like something is missing…
Flashes of Romo to Owens on a 45-yard post pattern is something that I cannot wait for, yet something is missing. Barber bulldozing the Giants defense for a 10-yard scamper, when it should of been a 2-yard loss is something to see, yet something is still missing. So what is missing?
It's the guy opposite Owens, someone that can instill fear into the hearts of opposing secondaries… that is what's missing.
Last year, the 'Boys offense broke all kinds of records. (Cowboys records that is.) No quarterback in Cowboys history has ever had the year that Tony Romo had last year. The Cowboys' offense at times looked unstoppable and scary. So why am I complaining?
Because the reason why the Cowboys lost to the Giants last year was arguably the missing piece… a top tier second receiver.
Yes, I know we had Terry Glenn back at the end, but he looked more like Aaron Glenn. Terry Glenn was at best at 60 % last year. He never had a chance. Patrick Crayton tried to step into his place, but when it mattered most, he messed up on a route in which Romo had him targeted for the go ahead touchdown late in the game. This is not a knock on Crayton, personally I like the kid ,but lets face it… he is not the solid second receiver this team needs if they plan to go all the way this season. He is, by all accounts a solid third receiver.
I really hope either Miles Austin, Sam Hurd, Isaiah Stanback or Danny Amendola blossom this year. I hope that one of them lights it up and can compliment Owens and give the opposition another weapon to worry about. I like all our receivers, but if one of them doesn't step up in a big way, we are in serious trouble. Imagine for some reason Owens goes down… who' will be your number one receiver now? Crayton? Hurd? Lets get real…
This years offense is the same as last. Jerry Jones didn't go out of his way to try and land a another starting receiver through free agency or the draft. And that is the missing ingredient that would transform the Cowboys into the best team in the NFL.
Personally, I am not comfortable with fielding the same team we had last year at the wide receiver position. Jerry Jones should have acquired a solid wide receiver whether by trade or free agency. I know that Jones would like nothing more than to leave Texas Stadium as Super Bowl Champions and go into the new stadium as defending champs. How awesome would that be? New stadium… same great tradition.
So what do you think about our receiving corps? Are you satisfied or would you like to see the Cowboys try and land another top receiver?

"A gorgeous, wise, riveting work of, among other things, cowboy noir...Honestly, I can't recall ever being this fond of a pair of psychopaths."
--David Wroblewski, New York Times bestselling author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
"A masterful, hilarious picaresque that keeps company with the best of Charles Portis and Mark Twain...a relentlessly absorbing feat of novelistic art."
--Wells Tower, author of Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned
"The Sisters Brothers is dark, dark, and funny, both ha ha and strange...and you'll love the characters you meet along the way."
--Tom Franklin, New York Times bestselling author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter
Patrick deWitt, a young writer whose "stop-you-in-your-tracks writing has snuck up on the world" (Los Angeles Times), brings us The Sisters Brothers, a darkly comic, outrageously inventive novel that offers readers a decidedly off-center view of the Wild, Wild West. Set against the back-drop of the great California Gold Rush, this odd and wonderful tour de force at once honors and reshapes the traditional western while chronicling the picaresque misadventures of two hired guns, the fabled Sisters brothers. The most original western since the Coen Brothers re-interpreted True Grit--you've never met anyone quite like The Sisters Brothers.
Praise For The Sisters Brothers…
"Patrick deWitt's Booker-nominated tale of two hired guns during the Gold Rush, is 'weirdly funny, startlingly violent and steeped in sadness,' according to Ron Charles."
-Washington Post
"[A]n odd gem...that has one of most engaging and thoughtful narrators I've come across in a long time....The novel belongs to the great tradition of subversive westerns...but deWitt has a deadpan comic voice and a sneaky philosophical bent that's all his own."
-Tom Perrotta's Favorite Fiction of 2011 on Salon.com
"This bloody buddy tale of two hired guns during the Gold Rush is weirdly funny, startlingly violent and steeped in sadness — a reaffirmation of the endurance of the Western."
-Notable Fiction of 2011, Washington Post
"DeWitt's THE SISTERS BROTHERS is a glorious picaresque Western; everything about this book is stylish, from its conceit to its cover design making it a truly worthy inclusion on the shortlist."
-Daily Beast
"If Cormac McCarthy had a sense of humor, he might have concocted a story like Patrick DeWitt's bloody, darkly funny western THE SISTERS BROTHERS...[DeWitt has] a skillfully polished voice and a penchant for gleefully looking under bloody bandages."
-Los Angeles Times
"Thrilling…a lushly voiced picaresque story…so richly told, so detailed, that what emerges is a weird circus of existence, all steel shanks and ponies, gut shots and medication poured into the eyeholes of the dying. At some level, this too is a kind of revenge story, marvelously blurry."
"[T]here's something cinematic about Mr. deWitt's unadorned prose style, which at first made this reader do a double-take—can this be serious?—only to continue flicking the pages with pleasure."
-Wall Street Journal
"By turns hilarious, graphic and meditative, The Sisters Brothers hooked me from page one all the way to 300 — and I could have stayed on for many more."
"Wandering his Western landscape with the cool confidence of a practiced pistoleer, deWitt's steady hand belies a hair trigger, a poet's heart and an acute sense of gallows humor…the reader is likely to reach the adventure's end in the same shape as Eli: wounded but bettered by the ride."
-Time Out New York
"A feast of delights in short punchy chapters.... Deliciously original and rhapsodically funny, this is one novel that ropes you in on page one, and isn't about to ride off into the sunset any time soon."
-Boston Globe
"Mesmerizing… The book seduces us to its characters, and draws us on the strength of deWitt's subtle, nothing-wasted prose. He writes with gorgeous precision about the grotesque: an amputation, a gouged eye, a con in a dive bar, a nauseating body count [without] macho brutishness."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer
"DeWitt's exploitations of the picaresque form are striking, and he has a wonderful way of exercising his comic gifts without ever compromising the novel's gradual accumulation of darkness, disgust, and foreboding."
-The Millions
"A gorgeous, wise, riveting work of, among other things, cowboy noir….Honestly, I can't recall ever being this fond of a pair of psychopaths."
-David Wroblewski, bestselling author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
"Like Tarantino, deWitt knows that attitude makes blood funny; like Twain, he understands a reader's willingness to forgive a good narrator's personal flaws."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer
"[THE SISTERS BROTHERS] is full of surprises, among them…is the quirky beauty of the language Patrick deWitt has devised for his narrator.... THE SISTERS BROTHERS is deWitt's second novel…and is an inventive and ingenious character study. It will make you impatient for the third."
-Dallas Morning News
"Original, entrancing and entertaining."
-Denver Post
"Weirdly funny, startlingly violent and steeped in sadness… It's all rendered irresistible by Eli Sisters, who narrates with a mixture of melancholy and thoughtfulness."
-Washington Post
"The brothers' punchily poetic banter and the book's bracing bursts of violence keep this campfire yarn pulled taut."
-The Onion AV Club
"Funny and strange [and] oddly warm…you'll find yourself ashamedly pulling for the brothers Sisters like you did for Jules and Vinnie in Pulp Fiction."
-Outside magazine
"Patrick deWitt's narrator--a hired killer with a bad conscience and a melancholy disposition--is a brilliant and memorable creation."
-Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of Little Children
"A bright, brutal revision of the Western, The Sisters Brothers offers an unexpected meditation on life, and on the crucial difference between power and strength."
-Gil Adamson, author of The Outlander
"At once dark and touching, The Sisters Brothers has something on every page to make you laugh. Patrick deWitt has given us a gift, reimagining the old west in a thoroughly original manner. Readers are all the better for it."
-Charles Bock, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Children
"…gritty, as well as deadpan and often very comic…DeWitt has chosen a narrative voice so sharp and distinctive…it's very narrowing of possibilities opens new doors in the imagination."
-New York Times Book Review
"A masterful, hilarious picaresque that keeps company with the best of Charles Portis and Mark Twain, The Sisters Brothers is a relentlessly absorbing feat of novelistic art."
-Wells Tower, author of Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned

RYE, N.Y. -- George Latimer, the Democratic candidate for Westchester county executive, said a family disagreement is to blame for a home owned by his wife owing more than $46,000 in back taxes to the City of Rye.
Latimer's mother-in-law Alice Phelps passed away in 2012, and since then his wife's family has disagreed with how to settle her estate, located at 60 Roosevelt Avenue, Latimer said. The property was deeded from Alice Phelps to Robin Phelps-Latimer in Aug. 2010, according to Lohud .
Latimer, a state senator who lives in Rye, said his wife's family plans to pay back the $46,009 owed in school, city and county taxes, once they come to final agreement.
"These things can go on for families for a long time," Latimer said. "There's been no effort to avoid payment. It will come with a completion of a settlement."
Latimer, who is challenging Republican County Executive Rob Astorino, said he is not directly involved with the situation, calling it a personal matter.
"The Astorino campaign decided to go down in the gutter and bring personal things up," Latimer said. "Their campaign is getting nervous. Our campaign must be getting through to people."
Jessica Proud, a spokesman for Astorino, said Latimer is being a hypocrite.
"Albany politician households get no special treatment, Mr. Latimer," Proud said. "Pay your taxes -- and stop blaming your wife."
In 2014, a Senate Democratic spokesman criticized Joe Dillon, who was running against Latimer for State Senate, for facing foreclosure and having two tax liens filed against him.

A Licking Creek Township man was shot to death in his home early November 27 and his longtime friend is lodged in the Franklin County Prison after being arrested by police Sunday morning at a farm about two miles from the shooting scene. According to police, Daniel Totten, McConnellsburg, was shot to death in the kitchen of his home following a dispute with James Leo Durbin, who lived in a small camper on Totten's farm off Peach Orchard Road. Police revealed that Totten and Durbin had known each other since they met as children in Maryland. Totten family members said the two at one time had served several years in jail in the state of Indiana on an armed robbery charge.

Rabies was diagnosed as the cause of death of a milk cow, owned by Kenneth L. Glazier, last week.
According to Glazier, the cow, which was valued at approximately $1,500, died after a four-day illness. Glazier said he noticed a decrease in the cow's milk production and a reluctance to eat her food. A Franklin County veterinarian looked at the cow and diagnosed her as having a twisted stomach. She didn't respond to the treatment and when she died, Glazier, who said he never had a cow act the way this one had, sent her head to the state laboratory in Harrisburg, where it was found rabies positive. The other 133 cows in the herd were given a rabies vaccination last week.
Two Rottweiler puppies died in a barn blaze at the Tony Raia residence in Hustontown on Monday evening. Hustontown firemen responded to the call with all their trucks and one ambulance.

Another hunter was accidentally shot on Monday morning, the first day of doe season, making the third accidental shooting in Fulton County in the last two weeks. Game Warden Carl Jarrett reported that Eddie J. Amsley of Chambersburg was shot in the upper thigh by his sister-in-law. He was given emergency treatment at the Medical Center and transferred to Chambersburg Hospital. The accident occurred in the woods near Cove Creek in the Big Cove Tannery area.
The badly decomposed body of an unidentified male was found on Saturday near what is known as Foreman Road on the west side of Sideling Hill Mountain off Route 7. The remains were found by Richard Eiley of Everett while hunting on state gamelands. Investigating officers reported that the remains were those of a male between the age of 55 and 66 years. When death occurred has not yet been established, but no signs of foul play were found. Police removed the skeleton from the scene, plus an upper set of false teeth, a pair of glasses, a leather belt, assorted keys and coins molded together, a pair of leather shoes and a plastic wallet, the contents of which were stuck together and illegible. The wallet will be processed for possible identification of the dead man.

Using external (PCI-attached) audio card (SB Live 5.1), because no drivers exist for the motherboard's built-it sound card.
- The distortion can be clearly heard from the speakers. Front and rear channels exhibit the same symptom.
- It is only audible during playback
- It occurs randomly but very often and is audible until audio is stopped.
- Workaround so far has been to stop and start the software playing the audio a few times.
- Restarting OSS itself doesn't make any difference.
- Nibbling with audio settings doesn't make any difference.

Hey guys, I haven't posted much lately, but thought I'd post a quick, little thread that can probably be of use to some of you.
Lately I've been shooting tethered wirelessly to my iPad and it's been absolutely awesome. It makes it quick to check focus, exposure, gives a better perspective for planning composition/shooting for a crop, and best of all, it's a way for clients to see the pictures as you take them instead of looking over your shoulder at the viewfinder.
This doesn't just help 5d mark II shooters either, there are other Compact Flash cameras that also benefit from this. Here's a very specific list of cameras it'll work with: (if your camera isn't listed, then don't waste your money)
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 50D
Canon EOS 7D
Nikon D3X
Sony Alpha DSLR-A900
Sony Alpha DSLR-A850
Sony Alpha DSLR-A350
List is from forum users at this link: http://forums.eye.fi/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1352
It requires 3 things to make happen:
1. eye-fi card($80-100, I use the x2 pro, but the mobile will work as well)
2. sd-cf adapter($15, very specific brands)
(U.S.) http://www.amazon.com/SDHC-High-Spee.../dp/B0048W4RV4
(Ger) http://www.amazon.de/Speicherkarten-.../dp/B0046EQOM4
(UK) http://www.amazon.co.uk/DeLOCK-adapt.../dp/B004AFJZUW
otherwise google delock 61796 and try to find one available in your area
3. shuttersnitch iPad/iPhone app in the app store($15)
or use the eye-fi app that's free but not as useful for photographers (according to reviews)
Once you get the eye-fi sd card, plug it in to the computer and go through the setup. Update the software on the computer and on the card(which it walks you through), then run the "eye-fi center" to set it up. Find "direct mode" and check the box that says "when no known wifi networks are in range, start the direct mode network". What this does is turns the eye-fi card into a wireless network. Note the password to the network. Click to start the direct mode network and join it with your iPhone or iPad.
If you have any trouble, go to step II in this link. If you don't know what you're doing, leave all other settings as default. Do not turn on relayed transfers(according to some, this messes up direct mode shooting). I'd recommend changing the wait time to 4 minutes or forever as your camera will control it with the auto-off feature anyway. I'd also change the auto off feature on the camera to about 4-8 minutes.
(optional and no longer recommended because I believe this makes the card overheat faster)Once you've set up direct mode, you'll need to remove the metal plate on the front of your sd-cf card adapter, as it weakens the signal. I couldn't find a precision screwdriver, so i used a box knife to pry the metal part up, once you get under it, it's easy to pull the plate off. I took the front at back metal plate off just in case. pictures will be posted below of what it looks like.
Install "shuttersnitch" from the app store.
Open ShutterSnitch go through the initial setup. Then go to the collection overview and tap the "Options" button in the top left-hand corner and pick "Set up Eye-Fi Access". Sign into your Eye-Fi account and make sure that the cards you want to receive from are turned on (the toggle on the right). Press Done!
Attachment 57174
Insert the eye-fi card + adapter to your camera. Format the card with your camera. Take a shot with the camera so that the card will start the direct mode network. Verify on your iPad or iPhone that it's connected to the eye-fi network. Once connected, start a collection in ShutterSnitch and start shooting. When the card finishes buffering, they will begin to transfer. You'll see in ShutterSnitch "receiving IMG_XXXX.jpg" and they will begin to show up.
I recommend shooting RAW+small JPEG. ShutterSnitch automatically takes jpegs only by default so that the pictures come through fast rather than the 30secs it would take to accept a RAW file.
Expected times for the transfer...I get anywhere from 9sec to 15sec for the first to show up, then one every 2 seconds or so. They don't transfer as the camera is writing them, so if you've shot 9 photos, you'll first have to wait for the buffer to finish, then expect the 9-15 second delay with one showing up every couple of seconds after. The better the wireless signal, the faster they show up, so keep the iPad close to you.
My clients think it's the coolest thing ever. Maybe some of you wouldn't have a use for it. I tend to always have someone there wanting/waiting to see the pics, which can be annoying.
Hope this helps.
A few things I've ran into while using this.
1. Sometimes it will stop transferring. Usually I'll just go to networks on the iPad, turn the wireless off and back on and rejoin the card. Sometimes I have to totally turn the camera off and rejoin the card before it'll start back up.
2. Twice now I've gotten an Err 02, card not formatted error. When this happens, turn the camera off(wait for the images to finish writing), pull out the card, put it back in, turn the camera back on and it's back to normal. I believe this happens mostly when you've shot a lot of pictures at once and have filled up the buffer.
3. I've decided this tool is best for reviewing pictures AFTER you're done with a set. It's too slow to try and review pictures as you're taking them(for what I do anyway) and it will slow you down significantly. So now I just open shuttersnitch when I'm done with a small set and am about to move to another and let them transfer.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! 4. DO NOT USE THE SD CARD + CARD READER TO TRANSFER RAWs to the computer. I'VE LOST WHOLE CARDS on my lexar card reader. If you use a card reader to transfer, make sure you insert the CF adapter with SD card inserted. I've also noticed the card likes to overheat and turn off while transferring. I've since bought a second adapter and have been switching back and forth between the two while transferring the RAWs to the computer.
5. I've noticed that it's common to have one or two damaged raw files when shooting this way. It isn't a big deal because I always have the jpeg as backup and it is usually only 1 out of 300 or so.

You'd need an ESL training course, but make sure it's an accredited and recognised one- be careful there are cowboy courses out there.
Hello All,
Since March, I have been a facilitator at a program called "Small Talk" at my local library--"Small Talk" is a program designed to help non-native Speakers improve their awareness of American Society and Culture.
I thoroughly enjoy the inter-action with my non-native participants and am seriously considering a career transition to teaching ESL.
I currently hold a Beachelor's Degree in American History and a Master's Degree in Information Systems.
How do you suggest that I start to make the transition to an ESL Instructor position?
Is there an association for ESL Instructors I can research?
Would I need just a certificate in ESL Instruction, or should I obtain another degree?
ANY and ALL input would be MOST appreciated! :)
You'd need an ESL training course, but make sure it's an accredited and recognised one- be careful there are cowboy courses out there.
THANKS TDOL, for your input.
But how do I do find an ACCEPTABLE ESL training class in my area?
I've heard a lot about these "on-line" training classes--are they any good?
I live in the UK and we have courses validated by various organisations. I'd check first of all to see if they are validated by an external body. If not, then avoid them like the plague. Also be careful of courses tied to individual companies- they might get you your first job, but then no one else recognises them. I've never been tothe Sates so I have no idea who validates courses there.
THANKS Again, TDOL! :)
Can someone from America help out?
What external bodies validate ESL training programs here?
I wish I could help out, sir.. I'm sort of in the same boat.. I'd love to look into teaching ESL, not sure where to start out tho.
Here's a place to start looking.Originally Posted by Nahualli
Sorry I was running off at the mouth a little bit. I've looked in Google and stuff, I should have been a bit more specific. I was looking for a place to get certified. I'm thinking of trying UC Berkeley or something of the sort.Originally Posted by X Mode
At which level do you want to instruct? In Texas a certified public school teacher may take a state test to receive ESL certification without taking any special courses or training. Most teachers, however, will take a few college courses or will take a workshop sponsored by the state education department. The best way to get information about that would be to check with the ESL or Bilingual coordinator for one of the school districts where you live.
If you need more information, contact me at [email protected]

Enlightened was originally scheduled to make its debut in January, but when White was invited to the Amazing Race all-stars reunion, HBO agreed to postpone the show, and he and his dad went back on the road. This time around, the challenges were more grueling. Following a near-naked slog through a Japanese mud pit from which Mel emerged with hypothermia, Mike decided to call it quits. They were sent to an elimination station on an island off the coast of Thailand for three weeks, with no phones and no computers and nothing to do but sit by the pool. Considering how much work Id walked away from and how many people it had impacted I was like, what have I done? But its fun to have an adventure.
How many indie film auteurs get the green light to create a series on HBO, then postpone finishing it to compete in The Amazing Race? The correct answer is, just one: Mike White.White has crafted a career out of off-kilter moves. As a screenwriter, he alternates between charming but uncomfortable films about awkward, lonely people (Chuck and Buck, Year of the Dog) and more mainstream, poppy hits (School of Rock, Nacho Libre). He got his start as a writer-producer on Dawsons Creek before going on to Freaks and Geeks, and now has co-created the HBO series Enlightened with Laura Dern, who also stars in it.But he says one of the best things hes ever done is to compete in The Amazing Race, which he did in 2009 with his 70-year-old dad, minister and gay activist Mel White. When the show invited them back for an all-stars season earlier this year, just as White was starting post-production on Enlightened, he couldnt say no. Just days into the race, however, his father collapsed and they were eliminated.As they were taking us away to the ambulance, I was thinking, 'How am I going to tell the people at HBO?' he says between bites of brown rice and veggies at a vegan restaurant in West Hollywood. They had to furlough our whole post-production team! But being stranded in reality-TV loser limbo for two weeks with no phone or computer was kind of nice, he insists, because I had to let go, accept.
5. The Amazing Race Connection. Race fans will notice that a few former contestants like Victor Jih pop up on Enlightened Mike White and his father Mel White competed on Season 14 of AR and again in 2011 on AR: Unfinished Business, and hes stayed in touch with some of his former competitors.Yeah. Theres a couple Amazing Race cameos in there, but, you know, thats just because I run out of ideas
, White quips.Enlightened airs Mondays at 9:30 p.m. on HBO

IBM demonstrated technology Monday that improves performance and reduces power consumption on chips used in devices from mobile phones to high-performance servers.
The technology, called high-k/metal gate, boosts performance by up to 30 percent and reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent on chips manufactured using the 32-nanometer process, IBM said. This compares to chips manufactured using the 45-nanometer process operating at the similar voltage, according to IBM's benchmarks.
For example, when a 45-nm process chip operating at 1.1 volts is scaled to the 32-nm process with high-k metal gate technology it will have a 24 percent increase in speed and a 40 percent reduction in power consumption, said Mukesh Khare, senior manager at IBM's microelectronics division. If the voltage is dropped to 0.95 volts, the chip has an 18 percent increase in speed and a 45 percent reduction in power consumption.
A nanometer equals about one billionth of a meter. In chip manufacturing, the figure refers to the smallest features etched on chip surfaces. The measurement was done on circuits and components generally used to benchmark the speed and performance of a chip, Khare said.
The company is shipping an evaluation kit that includes chip models and shows customers how to design chips using the high-k/metal gate technology, Khare said. High-k/metal gate technology uses material to reduce electricity leaks on chips. IBM said it may incorporate the technology when it starts volume production of chips using the 32-nm process. IBM has said it plans to start volume production of chips using the 32-nm process in late 2009.
For computing devices to deliver power savings and performance gains, chip manufacturers are consistently upgrading manufacturing technologies. Intel last year started incorporating high-k/metal gate technology when it began manufacturing chips using the 45-nm process. Intel's chip rival, Advanced Micro Devices, does not use high-k metal gate technology in chips.
Monday's announcement was one more step in IBM's efforts to advance semiconductor technology. The company last month announced an alliance with Hitachi to jointly research the miniaturization of chip circuitry from 32-nanometer and 22-nm semiconductor. It is also developing silicon nanophotonics technology, which could replace some of the wires on a chip with pulses of light on tiny optical fibers for quicker and more power-efficient data transfers between cores on a chip. It is also working with U.S. universities to develop carbon nanotubes, smaller transistors that could deliver better performance than current transistors.
IBM made Monday's announcement with its partners, Chartered Semiconductor, Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, Samsung, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba. IBM has a manufacturing partnership with AMD, and although AMD wasn't part of the official announcement, it will have access to the new technology, Khare said.

Good s/w. This is better features for novice typewriter, thanks.
Not too good. Well, I kinda liked it. It's not professional, looks more like a car racing game.
Typing is very useful. Better typing without learing is the good taught.
It really dissapoined me... I was trying to learn Dvorak. The description said that it does support Dvorak, but I could not get it to show Dvorak.
i like it very nice.thanks for hole team
Test your typing speed with this typing test software. -How fast can you type? - How many words per minute ( wpm ) can you make? - Is your typing accuracy good enough ? - Improve your typing skills with this free typing tutor!
application for employment as a secretary
Love this program, easy to use and realistic. I use it to keep up my skills and recommend it to my co-workers.
The concept of the test is fine, but once you get to the bottom of the words displayed, you have to move the whole page of text down and then when you get to the end, you have to move it back again, so you can restart. Not the best test available, but always room for improvement.
Opinion. My review is that I want to do typing on these topics, Person of the dialogue - plato and Reflection but iwas not found that topics on it, if you do this please do for me asa possibal.

Since 1889, this family-owned chain has been one of the nation's oldest retailers of sporting apparel. Modell's currently has over 137 retail locations in the Northwestern United States.
Modell's was looking for flooring that would motivate sales and help reflect their company brand. With Johnsonite they found a floor that not only offered a functional value, but also enhanced the aesthetic offering of Modell's through color and design options.
"The biggest reason that we went with Johnsonite is that we did the math," said Carrie Deleo, Vice President of Planning and Construction at Modell's. "The flooring is easy to maintain and has such a long life-cycle, we'll get a nice return over the other flooring options that were considered. Johnsonite's flooring is distinctive and helps create a sports tone, which matches our brand."

Author Notes: So…I just realized that although gabrielaskitchen is mostly Mexican, Gabriela on food52 doesn't have to be! Thus, I was inspired to share an original recipe for beef heart, which I call corazón because it's sounds more delectable that way.
These beef hearts are succulent, flavorful, and crisp and as Alex (the sous chef and medium- rare-beef-lover) described, "the best chicken-fried steak I've ever had." Alex may have likened it to a southern favorite but this recipe is definitely not the gargantuan piece of breaded beef you'd serve next to peas n' carrots and taters smothered in gravy. This recipe yields crispy slivers of rich medium-rare beef best served atop spinach and arugula, sprinkled with scallions, served with sour cream or (just for Merill) crème fraiche alongside a beautiful beet salad.
Serves: 4
pound beef heart
cup all-purpose flour
teaspoon yellow curry powder
teaspoon paprika
teaspoon salt
dashes white pepper
cup panko bread crumbs
an additional 1/2
teaspoons yellow curry powder
cup sunflower oil (or an oil with a high smoke point)
A bunch of baby spinach, arugala and green onions would be lovely...
...you might also like some sour cream, plain yogurt or crème fraiche to go with this dish!
- Soak heart in cold, salted water for 1/2 hour.
- Trim fat and arteries from heart. Slice heart into uniform 1/4 inch slices.
- Prepare three plates for dredging the the heart slivers. This will be your dredging station!
- On the first plate: scramble one large egg and a teaspoon of water. On the second plate: mix flour, curry, paprika, salt and pepper. On the third plate: mix panko bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon yellow curry powder.
- Now dredge! Coat each slice of beef in egg, then dip in flour mixture until lightly coated, gently dusting off excess flour. Dip in egg mixture again, then coat with the panko crumbs.
- Once each strip of beef is coated place on a plate to rest for approximately 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the oil in a heavy-bottom frying pan or skillet.
- Once the oil is very hot (medium-high for approx. 5 minutes) fry 4 or 5 stips of meat at a time (do not crowd the pan!). Fry for 1 -1 1/2 minutes until golden-brown on each side (3 minutes per strip total). Alllow oil to reheat for a minute between each batch.
- Remove from oil and place on a clean towl or paper towls to drain excess oil.
- Serve atop an arugal and spinach salad, sprinkle with green onions and serve with sour cream, plain yogurt or crème fraiche.
