On The Road To Forever
Allow Jesus to help you take out trash

I grew up in a small town in Yankee-land where we had all the services of treated water, sewage, and garbage pickup. But I can also remember visiting friends and grandparents who lived in the country where things were very different.
Well water varied from place to place. Some tasted good; some, bad; some kind of red, some kind of black, and some just plain stank so badly you just didn't want to use it at all. Sewage, of course, was a septic system, not always in the best of condition. Then there was the household trash pit.
As a young boy, taking the trash to the pit was an adventure. Everything under the sun had been thrown in a pile for years, allowing Mother Nature to tend to the recycling process at her own speed and time.
The pit was filled with tin cans by the hundreds, bottles of every shape and size, furniture and bed springs, old appliances, an ash pit for the coal-burning house furnace, worn-out bicycles, tires, a rusted-out car or two, and sometimes a wrecked vehicle which came with a story on how it got in that shape.
We purchase, use, then throw it away without giving it a second thought. We are consumers and that's what we do best. Consume things. It's still a chore that has to be done regularly, putting out the trash. It all gets hauled off to a trash pit somewhere out of sight and out of mind. Mother Nature still does her thing.
The Sunday school teacher asked Jimmie why he was late.
"I was gonna go fishing, but Daddy wouldn't let me," Jimmie replied.
"You have a wise father," said the teacher. "Did he explain why you shouldn't go fishing today?"
"Sure," said Jimmie. "My dad said there wasn't enough bait for both of us to go fishing."
A man took his 3-year-old daughter to the home-improvement store. She quickly became tired of walking, so he let her ride on his shoulders. Soon after he began carrying her, she started pulling on his hair. Although he asked her kindly several times to cease pulling his hair, she kept on.
Getting annoyed, he began to severely scold her. "But Daddy," she whimpered, "I'm trying to get my bubble gum back!"
[Ephesians 4: 17-32; Colossians 3: 1-9; James 1: 19-21; 1 Peter 2: 1]
A consumer is generally considered to be the "end user." Of course this involves a lot more than eating a bologna sandwich and drinking a soda. Our stomach is probably the least to receive what we consume. Our eyes and ears consume the most of what we use in this life, and unfortunately, that can tend to make our brain a sizable trash pit. It's the end of the year and most everyone is examining their life, making a note on the things they would like to change, making resolutions (promises) to oneself. May I suggest it's time to take out the trash?
Paul, James, and Peter have made some great statements on what you must do to clean up your trash pit. Jesus teaches about taking out the trash (Luke 11: 24-26). The trouble is, if you don't put something back in its place, you may end up with a bigger trash pit than before. So, the wisdom of the Spirit has also led the Apostles to tell us what we must replace our trash with [Ephesians 5: 1-21; Colossians 3:10-17; James 1: 22-25; 2 Peter 1: 3-8].
Can you clean up your trash pit? Yes, you can, with God's help.
Trust in the Lord to make all things right and it will happen. Don't like some of the things in your life? Pray about them and work on change. God loves you so much He gave us His one and only Son, sacrificed for the atonement of the sins of the world.
God is willing to work on your trash pit with you today. Pray about it.

It's been almost two days since the historic West Point Pepperell Mill in Opelika burned to the ground and firefighters are still on the scene picking up the pieces.
The East Alabama and Auburn fire departments are working together to put out the remaining hot spots inside the building.
The blaze, which began on Tuesday night, is being described as the largest in the city's history.
Officials say the third floor has collapsed onto the second floor, and it is still too unsafe for investigators to get in and look for clues about what started the fire.
We are told by officials they expect to be able to release more information sometime Thursday afternoon.

The thatched cottages and Georgian houses of tiny MARKET BOSWORTH, some eleven miles west of Leicester, fan out from a dinky Market Place, which was an important trading centre throughout the Middle Ages. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, the dominant family hereabouts were the Dixies, merchant-landlords who mostly ended up at the church of St Peter.
The Dixies were not universally admired, however, and the young Samuel Johnson, who taught at the Dixie Grammar School – its elongated facade still abuts the Market Place – disliked the founder, Sir Wolstan Dixie, so much that he recalled his time there "with the strongest aversion and even a sense of horror".Read More
Bosworth Field
Bosworth Field
Market Bosworth is best known for the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought on hilly countryside near the village in 1485. This was the last and most decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, an interminably long-winded and bitterly violent conflict among the nobility for control of the English Crown. The victor was Henry Tudor, subsequently Henry VII; he defeated Richard III, who famously died on the battlefield. In desperation, Shakespeare's villainous Richard cried out "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse," but in fact the defeated king seems to have been a much more phlegmatic character. Taking a glass of water before the fighting started, he actually said, "I live a king: if I die, I die a king".

Narrow your search
A new manifesto from an ad-blocking company Eyeo tries to build support for the idea that some ads are OK. That's good for its business, since big advertisers pay to get on its whitelist.
Adblock Plus is finally available for Safari, albeit in beta form. You can install it in just a few clicks.
All the top desktop browsers now can use a plug-in that blocks Web site ads -- except for nonintrusive ones from companies that pay to be whitelisted.
Apps that block ads on Android devices, including AdAway and Adblock Plus, have been removed from the Google Play store.
A handful of app developers receive notices from the Web giant saying that their ad-blocking software "interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner."
Free, a French ISP, has rolled out an update to its routers that turns ad blocking on by default.
Adblock Plus for Android may sound too good to be true, but it works. It not only gets rid of banners, pop-ups, and video ads while you browse, it also kills those often annoying in-app ads.
Say goodbye to Internet ads with this extension for Chrome or Firefox.
What will the world do when Adblock removes all ads from it?
Help the sites you frequent stay in business by adding them to AdBlock Plus's whitelist, which restricts the obtrusiveness of the ads that open on the page.

Come share in the friendship and unity of fellow archers. We invite you and welcome your participation in our events.
Brevard Archers membership is made up of all levels of shooters from beginners to champions and all styles of shooting including traditional, Olympic recurve, and compound.
Brevard Archers is an FAA/NFAA Charter Club. We are also chartered through ASA (Archery Shooters Association).
Our range is open to the public at all times with 14 shooting lanes, a commons area for 900 rounds, and other activities, in addition to a wooded area for 3D shoots. All shooters are welcome to participate in all of our shoots.
Exerting its influence over a profoundly long time period, from 25,000 BC to 1600 AD, archery is one of the most influential inventions in human history. The versatile bow and arrow harvested more protein and calories than any other tool until the invention of the plow (6,000 BC) while playing decisive roles in military conquests and defenses. Stated another way, archery put meat on the dinner table and defined political boundaries.
As a result, it is highly likely that the survival of some of your distant ancestors within that 1300 generation period when archery was king, whether by sustenance, battle, or secondary consequence was attributable to a particular arrow in flight finding its mark. Thus, to learn archery is to touch and experience the family history of one's own primal past.

No-Time Postpartum Fitness
No matter how well you prepare for losing the baby weight, finding the time and the energy to actually do it can be a problem. Here are some tips on creating a "no time" postpartum exercise routine.
Begin Slowly
It took nine months to get to the birth—expect at least nine months to get back to pre-pregnancy shape again. Start out slowly with a few stretches or a short walk and work your way up. When you thrust yourself into an intense workout routine, two things are likely to happen: You are going to be stiff and sore with no desire to get back into your exercise regimen for a while, or you will burn out. Both end in the same result: no exercise. Remember, a little goes a long way. You will see more results in the long run with a little exercise often than with a lot of exercise occasionally. Begin slowly and add a few more repetitions or a few more exercises as you feel up to it.
Be Consistent
Even a few minutes of stretching every day is better for your body and your state of mind than an hour of strenuous exercise once a month. That hour every once in a while may feel like you are doing something because you are stiff and sore, but in reality, that painless few minutes every day is doing more for your body. Take a moment to stretch every morning when you get up. Then take a 15- or 20-minute walk sometime during the day or climb the stairs a few more times. Add five or 10 minutes to the end of your day to do a few conditioning exercises, and you are set. Do it every day.
Take Time As It Comes
Take advantage of the few moments you have during the day to get some rest and exercise. When your
baby is napping, exercise or nap yourself. Rest and exercise are on the same team—the fitness team. Fitness not only gives you a slimmer, more shapely body, but it also makes you healthier—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It all connects. If a friend or relative offers to babysit for an hour or two, take the opportunity. Go for a stroll outside or to a mall. You can get your errands done at the same time you are exercising. After all, walking is great exercise.
Include Baby in Your Fitness Routine
A baby carrier or a stroller is a good investment. That way you will be able to take your walk with your baby. A little adds up to a lot. As the baby grows, there are many exercises you will be able to do together. Simply lifting a few extra pounds of Baby does wonders for your upper body and arms. Getting down on the floor and playing with your child is fun and great for your body as well.
Set Goals
In fact, set lots of goals. In order to reach a major long-term goal, you need to set short-term goals. Short-term goals are those that allow you to see daily or weekly progress. Without progress, the long-term goal may seem impossible and be forgotten altogether. Suggestions for short-term goals would be eating healthy meals or taking a walk every day. You might even chart your short-term goals on your calendar to ensure consistency in your plan.
More Activity Means More Exercise
Sometimes we have the mistaken idea that exercise is just that–an exercise like push-ups or sit-ups. Actually, it is simply activity. We need to get our bodies going, moving and doing something. Then we are exercising. So get going! Do more. Jump around and have fun. Walk to the park. Sit on the floor and scoot and wiggle and laugh with your child. Clap your hands, dance to the music, and make faces (great exercises for your face!).
Try To Do All Three Types of Exercise
There are three types of exercise: aerobics, stretches, and strength. Each does something different for the body. Ideally, you need all of them to feel you are getting fit. Let's explore each type…
Aerobics is movement such as walking, dancing, or running. It moves the legs and arms, working the heart and lungs. It also is the type of exercise that helps with weight loss by using up calories. So if you feel you need to shed a few pounds, aerobics is the type of exercise for you.
Stretching is excellent for a "no time" schedule. First, feel a string pulling you up from the top of your head. Your posture should immediately improve, stretching your body taller. Now stretch your arms up to the ceiling. Feel as if you are trying to reach the clouds. You can stretch most parts of your body, including your ankles, wrists, neck and head, arms, waist, and legs. An easy stretch for your ankles helps to relieve the swelling that may occur from carrying more weight than your body is used to. Place your right leg over the ankle or knee of your left leg. Rotate the right ankle first clockwise then counterclockwise. You should roll the ankle several times before switching to the other ankle.
Strength Exercises
Strength exercises help build muscle and tone. Even if you begin to lose weight from aerobics, you will soon discover that building muscle and tone is imperative to feeling good about your fitness. Strength exercises can be sit-ups and push-ups, of course. They can also be exercises like lifting your baby. Any exercise that involves lifting weight will firm and tone your muscles. So you are probably already doing some additional strength training.
Keep Your Body Healthy
Fitness is not only a matter of losing weight, but also a matter of keeping a healthy body. A healthy body helps us all to cope with everyday stress as well as feeling more energetic and full of life. Having a newborn baby certainly is a time in your life that should be filled with energy and newness. Fitness can go a long way in making it feel wonderful.
Expand Your Routine as Baby Grows
As your baby moves into toddlerhood, you have more exercise options. Take some time outside to play an energetic game of tag. Turn on some dance music and let loose with your young dance partner. Play hopscotch or jump rope together. Set up an obstacle course in your living room and take turns navigating it. Get out a stopwatch and time each other doing sprints up the driveway.

I am leaving Broadway for television! I put that there because I think journalism courses tell you to have a first sentence to "hook" the reader. Now let me refine: I'm not actually on Broadway right now, so to claim I'm "leaving" it is not possible. And the "television" I'm so-called "leaving Broadway" for is actually only one (1) episode. So, the opening sentence really should read, "I'm doing two scenes on a dramedy" but I thought I'd lose readers from the blandness.
Here's the story: Around two weeks ago, my agent called me (I'm giving you a moment to let the shock wear off just as I needed to) and asked me if I'd be interested in doing an episode of "Bunheads." I told him Y to the E to the S! He didn't know many details but asked me if I'd keep the third week of January free and that he'd know specific dates soon. I was very excited and immediately texted Sutton (Foster), who wrote that Amy Sherman Palladino (who created "Bunheads" and "Gilmore Girls") is a fan of mine and Sutton told her to write me into the show! Yay! I found out a few days ago that I have to be in LA to film on Jan. 28 and 29, and they'd like me to do the script read-thru today (Monday) while on the phone. So exciting! I got the cast list on Friday, and my friends Tim Cross and Anika Larsen were visiting. I looked down the list of people on the show and saw that my character's name is "Seth Rudetsky." Wow! The same "character" I played on "Smash." I'm now officially a "crossover character." Not since Phoebe's twin on "Friends" appeared on "Mad About You." Of course, the more I looked at the cast list, the more I noticed how far on the bottom I was. Tim first thought that perhaps it was in alphabetical order, but then we realized it wasn't. I finally said, "Maybe the list of characters is in order of the size of the part," hoping to be contradicted. I gave a brave smile, and waited for someone to say, "No way! I'm sure you have a lot of lines!" But instead, Anika looked closer at the cast list and said, "You may be right. The only other character listed underneath your name is 'Disgruntled Dancer.'" Well…I think that sounds like an enormous part. Probably Amy spent so many hours writing lines for "Disgruntled Dancer" that she didn't have enough time to come up with a character name. Anyhoo, I'm very excited to film anything with Sutton! The last time we worked together was on They're Playing Our Song. Yes, we got to kiss, but it was completely closed mouth. This time I'm taking it up a notch to make-out session. You know what they say: What happens on television, stays on television. If you missed our performance, here's a fun video of us.
Now, why were people over at my house on Friday, you ask (telepathically)? Because I'm obsessed with a game Anika Larsen showed me last year. It's like Celebrity, but it's called Salad Bowl, and first you choose a letter from the alphabet. Then everyone has to write down seven things that start with that letter: celebrity names, objects, song titles, song lyrics, etc. Anika always gives the example of the letter O; it could be Obama, Onion Quiche, "Oh, Say can you See," etc. There are two teams, and during the first round you have to give clues to make your team guess what you pulled out of the hat. In the second round, everything is put back and now you can only give a one-word clue. Just one word! So hard! Everything is put back again, and this time you have to act out your clues like Charades. Anyhoo, I love this game so much that I'm starting a series on SethTV.com where I film game nights at my house! So, on Friday I had a bunch of friends come over and we filmed everything. I will update 'ya when the show's been edited and put up.

Apple unveils 2 new iPhones
The company ushers in an era of color with the brightly hued iPhone 5c. The metallic iPhone 5s will also have fingerprint recognition. Reaction, however, is surprisingly muted.
Apple also unveiled fingerprint recognition for its top-of-the-line phone.
The lower cost phone, called the iPhone 5c, comes in a striking array of colors -- including green, blue, pink and yellow. With a two-year carrier contract, the new phone will cost $99 for the 16GB version and $199 for the 32GB version.
Apple also redesigned some of the apps on the phone, making them more colorful and bright. Along with the bold hues of the devices themselves, the result is a vibrant mix of colors in the hardware and software.
The company also debuted the iPhone 5s, which executive Phil Schiller said is "the most forward-thinking phone we've ever created," according to Engadget's live blog of the event. The phone is priced at $199 for a 16GB version, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB (along with a two-year carrier contract).
The phone comes with fingerprint recognition that Apple is calling "Touch ID," and it's built right into the home button. The company said that users can make iTunes purchases simply by using fingerprint authentication. The fingerprint is a great replacement for the password, and the phone can read multiple prints, executives said.
In a nod to security concerns in light of recent National Security Agency revelations, Apple said fingerprints are encrypted and will only be stored on the iPhone. They will not be sent to Apple's servers or its iCloud platform.
The iPhone 5s will run on Apple's new A7 chip, which is a 64-bit chip that is expected to provide incredibly fast performance, according to Engadget. The company says the new phone will be 40 times as fast as the original iPhone, in fact.
The phone's battery life is estimated at 10 hours talk time, or 40 hours of music playback. It will take better pictures, the company said, partly because of a new flash and because the photo sensor area will be 15% larger.
Both new iPhones will be in stores on Sept. 20 in the U.S. and eight other countries, the company said, and the 5c will be available for pre-order on Sept. 13. This is the first time China will get an iPhone on its initial launch date, Engadget notes.
Apple isn't getting rid of the iPhone 4S, either. An 8GB version of the 4S will continue to be available for free with a carrier contract.
Apple shareholders kept a wary eye on the announcements, with the stock price hovering just under Monday's $506.17 closing price throughout the presentation. As the event ended, the stock price dropped to 1% below Monday's close, a more optimistic response than shareholders traditionally give to Apple product announcements.
Later in the day, however, the stock price fell to nearly 3% below Monday's close. That may have been as word got out that the iPhone 5c would cost $549 if it was not subsidized by a carrier, according to Business Insider. Also, Apple didn't mention key Chinese carrier China Mobile (CHL) as one of its partners.
Reaction to the announcements was surprisingly muted, perhaps because nearly all of the news had previously been leaked and analyzed on technology sites. "Apple did what it does well -- innovate on hardware and integrating it with their software, but I didn't see anything that gives me confidence in Apple's ability to exist in world where services are equally important," wrote Om Malik on the GigaOm site.
Gizmodo built an informative chart showing how the iPhone 5s stacks up against some of its top competitors.

I have I Phone 4, 2 months left on my contract. The top on/button isn't working, I didn't purchase insurance. I phone Apple tech support and also Apple store, I can't speak with anyone until I pay a $19.00 fee plus Tax. I will visit Apple Store in Atlanta, Ga Sept 29th. Let's see what happens?
Is the Sansung 4S my next phone?

Looks like a bargain, we'll see!
The world of major exchange microcap microcash biopharma has its own specific rules. Floats are tiny, volatility is sky-high, and trials are opaque. Dilution is a virtual certainty - either the drip of an ATM or the body blow of a large public offering. Playing with these stocks requires close daily attention to the price movement and any hint of upcoming catalysts, and even the most seasoned traders can find themselves deep in the hole very quickly.
I've seen startling gains in the last couple of years from stocks in this category like Repros and Rosetta, and just yesterday made my first real life foray into the zone with a purchase of Oxigene. I toyed with the idea of buying Telik at around 2 last year and then watched as it continued to degrade as low as 1.15 before it briefly spiked over 3 earlier this month on word of orphan drug designation for Telintra in MDS. Such is the nature of these stocks.
Telintra remains Telik's only viable asset, and the basic question for traders is whether the potential of the compound is low or nil. Those who consider the drug to have demonstrated moderate or high potential despite the market cap of 5M are almost certainly deluding themselves. However, even a low potential drug can generate considerable temporary excitement at such a low valuation and there are two ongoing phase II trials of Telintra in process. Interim data from both trials will likely be presented this year, but the exact timing is difficult to estimate.
I'm not risk-tolerant enough to create a stable of high-volatility lottery plays at this point, but Telik makes a good play for the CAPS game at this level. 1.6 seems to be a good entry point to begin tracking the stock more closely and maybe, just maybe, venturing in if the share price dips back below 1.2 without the pressure of negative developments.
Embarrassing at best. All the posts have already noted the deaths and that it kills people. As if that is not enough for you, this stock has a bad track record and it is falling faster then Cheney's approval rating. Not trying to get political (but it is true). Alright if you don't know by now I really feel sorry for you. NEVER invest in the "cure for cancer" they will not find a cure they will find away to make you live with it. Don't like that tuff break. The truth hurts. It is not like I want that don't kill the informer. To be honest with you no company should be able to survive this. If it does I buy the CEOs a trophy for best killer that got away with it.
This is my vegas-style gamble for the week.
lousy management, questionable drug, all in all these is easy money selling short.
grab some points
Gotta love those pharma wannabes. Phase III trials a bust, no profitability, spend the money on lottery tickets--less risk. Come on TELIK, improve my score ;->.
small pharma company with a few things in the pipeline. success and take over, or slow growth over longer time say 5 years.
Telcyta works.
Despite its failure in the drug tests, it has been way oversold and still has potential to bring in other drugs.
Nothing of value anymore.
huge investment must have results
will show positive results in phase 3 test
phase three results about to be announced will be favorable, delays in announcing results to date can only be explained by unusual survival benefits
I think there will be news regarding their drug line
bio meds are way over sold. This bling bling is an FDA approval away from a real gem.
Critical data due anytime

A woman seen dangling from a Florida bridge has been rescued by firefighters after she participated in a cancer walk earlier in the day.
City officials say the woman was walking across the New River railroad bridge in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday morning when it began to open. Witnesses called 911 to report that the woman was dangling 22 feet above the tracks with the bridge in the upright position.
Firefighters responded and helped rescue the woman using a 24-foot ladder. She was not injured.
The 55-year-old woman was wearing a pink shirt. She told authorities she had taken part in the breast cancer awareness walk earlier Saturday morning. It was not clear why she was on the bridge since pedestrians are not allowed on it.
The woman was not immediately identified.

MeridethKansasAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Real Bible Study Skills for a Lifetime!April 21, 2013MeridethKansasAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Discover 4 Yourself, Children's Bible Study Series: How to Study Your Bible, for Kids.My 8 year old and I LOVE How To Study Your Bible For Kids! The puzzles and cool activities are so fun and quite challenging.
Challenging might be a key word to describe this book and the process it teaches. I will admit my son would probably not learn as much if I were not sitting with him while he goes through the book, but I enjoy being there with him to give those explanations needed. For example, right off the bat, we learn the Bible does not contradict itself. An 8 year old can easily understand that statement, but I added a real-life situation to help: If some angels walked into our kitchen and I later told Daddy, "I saw an angel with red hair!" but you told Daddy, "Three angels came into our kitchen!" did we contradict each other?
We made just two changes to the process:
1) We use his New International Reader's Version (NIrV) Bible instead of the NASB because he can easily understand everything he reads in it. We often compare verses in several different translations, but he does his main study and marking in his NIrV.
2) We take more than one day to complete each "day" in the book. Maybe we're slower than the average folks, but I don't ever want studying the Bible to become a chore for him, so we take it slow and easy and have a great time. He later teaches Daddy and Grammy what he's learned each day, so I know he's "getting" it.
I also want to say that learning to be an "Inductive Detective" is beneficial for more than just Bible study - the skills he's learning will also pay off big in general reading comprehension, research and other academic skills.
In summary, buy and use this book! Then pass it along to another kid. Then to another & another...

Great Product(s)!
I also had gotten the James study "Boy Have I got Problems" - for my 8 year old and he has enjoyed it.
The kids liked that I gave them the option of picking out the book(s) they wanted to work on from the list on CBD - they are very well done. If you go to CBS or any bible study durning the school year this is wonderful fun filler in the summer if you want to keep up your studing, even if your an adult these are great. But, fun and good to do with the kids also.

GEORGETOWN, Del.- Delaware State Police have arrested a 22-year-old Sussex Technical High School substitute teacher accused of showing a 15-year-old male student cellphone pictures of herself undressed.
Authorities said Wednesday that Meagan R. Gordon of Bridgeville is charged with one count of providing obscene material to a person under the age of 18.
Police say the investigation began in May after the principal of Sussex Tech in Georgetown received a complaint from the mother of the male student. The student's mother told troopers that her son had been communicating through text messages to a person she believed to be a teacher at the school. The mother further stated to troopers that from the contents of the text messages, she believed her son had viewed several inappropriate pictures of the teacher.
Detectives said their investigation into the complaint revealed that the male student had obtained Gordon's cellphone while at lunch at the school on Friday, May 13, and had brought the phone with him to a restroom. Police said that while in the restroom, the student went through Gordon's photographs that were on the phone and had observed several pictures showing her undressed. The student then returned the phone to Gordon.
Police said that after lunch the 15-year-old returned to his class that Gordon was teaching and she again allowed him to view the photographs. Gordon also exchanged phone numbers with the student, according to investigators.
Following her Sept. 21 arrest on the aforementioned charge, Gordon was released on $1,500 unsecured bail.

Product itself was ok. I would've kept it - still need a mirror for above my mantle - but the style was too art-deco for my decor. Colors were muted, not loud. Size was perfect. Quality was only fair. Scratches were visible to the eye, but if the mirror fit my room, I still would've kept it. Think they would've been lost on the wall.
I ordered two of these mirrors for my bath room vanity and they are perfect. I love them .. I am remodeling a home and have bought many items from Overstock.com and have been very very pleased!!
This mirror really well made and looks beautiful in my bathroom!
I initially bought a different wall mirror from O but the color didn't quite turn out to be what the picture promised. I went through the trouble of returning it and was hesitant to buy another wall mirror online. The great reviews on this mirror gave me the confidence to take a chance. I'm glad I did. The color turned out to be brighter than expected but I really like it. I hang it above my ivory color sofa in the living room. It worked perfectly. The mirror is light enough to be hang securely with only two picture hooks. I have received many compliments on this mirror.
The mirror is the size and style as described online. Just needed to get picture wire to hang....which is easier than the 2 hooks on back. No hardware was included. It makes a nice statement as you enter my dining room.
I am so pleased with the mirror. The gold/silver looks exquisite. I love how it seems to shimmer when the light hits it. All of my friends have commented on how beautiful it is. Hopefully they too will put their online shopping fears a try and order from Overstock.com!!
This mirror was a great deal - an affordable price for a statement piece. The quality is good, although not high-end. I have it in the dining area behind a lamp. It looks great, especially with dinner lighting.

Dow could rise 10 percent or more in 2014: Siegel
Wharton School professor Jeremy Siegel said that the Dow could finish out 2013 with another 6 percent, on top of the blue-chip index's 25 percent gain year-to-date.
By Matthew J. Belvedere
Wharton School professor Jeremy Siegel told CNBC on Monday that the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) could rise 10 percent or more in 2014.
That may not be on par with this year's roaring return but is still historically robust, he said, considering that 2013 has been an "extraordinary year" for stock gains.
In a "Squawk Box" interview, Siegel said that the Dow could finish out 2013 with another 6 percent, on top of the blue-chip index's 25 percent gain year-to-date.
"November and December are usually pretty good months," he said. "There's no major uncertainties that are hanging over the markets, at least in these two months coming up."
Barring a major selloff this week, the Dow, the S&P 500 ($INX) and the Nasdaq ($COMPX) will all be positive for September and October. That is relatively rare, happening only four other times in the past 30 years: 2010, 2007, 2006 and 1998.
Looking ahead, Siegel also said he sees GDP accelerating next year to "3 [to] 3.5 percent from the 2 percent we're stuck in this year." That will make for a very "good climate for earnings growth," he added.
"If we can get 3.5 percent GDP, the market can take a [Federal Reserve] tapering down to zero," he said. "Don't forget, the first rate hike is not expected—right now if you look at the futures market—until April or May of 2015."
The Fed is scheduled to begin its two-day October meeting Tuesday. After surprising Wall Street last month by not scaling back its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, it is not expected to take any action either this week or at its December meeting. Siegel said the first chance for tapering appears to be in March.
He also does not expect another government shutdown or a down-to-the-wire debt ceiling fight early next year, when the temporary deals to fund federal operations and extend the borrowing limit run out.
"I think they are going to kick the [budget] can down the road a whole year," Siegel said. "So that'll be off our plate and that will be a very, very positive factor [for] first-quarter 2014."
More from CNBC
"....no major uncertainties that are hanging over the markets"
Um, what about the uncertainties over the "Affordable" Care Act? Individual policies cancelled, replacement policies cost 50-1,000% more. Employer based care will see the same increases as 2014 unfolds.
What about Iran and its nuclear program?
What about the next government shutdown?
The 2014 elections which will be the most contentious in years?
Not sure what ivory tower this Wharton prof lives in, but some days I'm nervous just getting out of bed. He may be right, but no uncertainties? Come on.
1)FED not tapering
2)Crude Prices and Interest Rates a Wildcard
3)Continued Record Margin Buying
4)Record Stock Buybacks via Corporate Bonds
5)More Record Student Loan Debt and outsourcing of our Jobs to slave Labor.
6)Finding out that the Euro-Zone turnaround was a Dud.
7)Japan's first Sales tax increase since 97, from 5% to 8%
8)China, Major Slowdown
9)Tapped out Global Consumers
10)The SuperRich becoming even Richer.
So the bottom-line is what will be the Trigger Event. We can certainly grind higher as long as we keep borrowing more Fiat Money to buy Stocks but eventually Gravity must take hold. The higher the Rise, the Harder the Fall. Either way, no person would really be shocked.

Fugue State :: Swan Dive :: The Subversive Scribe :: Europes :: Gourmet Rhapsody :: An Angle of Vision
Fugue State
Fiction by Brian Evenson
Art by Zak Sally
Coffee House Press, July 2009
Paperback: 205pp; $14.95
Review by Cynthia Reeser
If you are prowling for something truly chilling to read, Edgar and International Horror Guild Award-nominated author Brian Evenson's collection of unsettling short fiction, Fugue State, may be just the thing to curdle your blood. Accompanied by illustrations from the multi-talented graphic novelist Zak Sally, Fugue State also includes an evocative graphic short that brings "Dread" to life. Each of the book's nineteen stories include subjects who tenuously skirt the borderlines of sanity and the edges of awareness, of substantive reality. Significantly, Evenson successfully marries the usually disparate genres of horror and literary fiction.
In the title story, Evenson probes the depths of the psyche, his writing evoking the state of muddled confusion following trauma and perceived trauma. "Fugue State," as with much of the author's writing, continues in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe in both style and strategy. Poe's theory that the short story should be written to possess a unity of effect or impression is followed by Evenson in each of his stories. His attention to detail and nuance lends a focus that carries through to the theme as well. The author employs in the title story the device of memory loss, which serves his characters well: they circle around a single idea, that of identity, with which their purpose is entangled.
Entanglement, entrapment, apocalypse, and the falling away of mind and of the things that make sense – community, the ordinary world – are the author's touchstones. The writing is most often formal, educated, that of a scholar, and it is this formality that places the provisioning stamp of an orchestrated sense of order on every story. For example, "An Accounting" is the record of an accidental Jesus. In the days since "the rupture," the main character wanders the God-forsaken land to seek supplies for his heathen party, inadvertently obtaining his own 12 followers (disciples). Evenson makes excellent use of metanarrative here, while providing an often-humorous, allegorical parody of a familiar story. In this realm, apparently, a gun and a man with means can make a Jesus, as in the following excerpt, in which the unwitting Messiah attempts to ensure each of the men eats only his fair share of the scant communal meal:
It was only by my leveling the revolver at each of them in turn as he ate that each was assured a share of the little that remained. Indeed, by force of the revolver alone was established what later they referred to as "the miracle of the everlasting hare," where, it was said, the food was allowed to pass from hand to hand and yet there remained enough for all.
If this be in fact a miracle, it is attributable not to me but to the revolver. It would have been better to designate said revolver as their Messiah instead of myself. Perhaps you will argue that, though this be true, without my hand to hold said weapon it could not have become a Jesus, that both of us together did a Jesus make, and I admit that such an argument is hard to counter.
The author does a stellar job of employing literature as a device in various incarnations. In "Mudder Tongue," a man's physical condition is causing paraphasia, to the befuddlement and frustration of himself and those around him. The question of language and the importance of words are probed: "This is what it means to be immersed in language, he thought, to lose one's ability to think. To speak other people's words. But the only alternative is not to speak at all."
Evenson develops other stories with a consciousness of writing, narrative, and language. "In the Greenhouse" employs metafiction: the main character is invited to visit his writer acquaintance, whose "house was apparently less a literal space than a literary space." And humor of the literary sort can hardly be avoided in a story about an editor and a publisher – "Ninety over Ninety" delves into what might be called the literature versus popular fiction problem.
Evenson's collection as a whole circumscribes disquietude. The author strikes the note of discord on its head with each story, by means of narrative, tone and style. His imagery is disturbing, and sometimes darkly hilarious, but not so much as the state of mind he evinces. Fugue State blurs the boundaries between the real and the surreal, stretching the borders of the seemly and sane.
Swan Dive
Novel by Michael Burke
Pleasure Boat Studio, September 2009
Paperback: 180pp; $15
Review by Elizabeth Townsend
Johnny 'Blue' Heron is a private eye more interested in sex and alcohol than the steady job he could have with the local police. Blue is hired by George Fuller to trai his son to find out if the younger Fuller is having an affair. This deceptively simple job lands Blue in the middle of affairs, intrigue, incest, corruption, and some rather shady business deals. Blue comes off as cynical sort of fellow, believing that no one is quite what they appear to be ("Always thought I was a fake, but aren't we all. We invent ourselves and defy the world to discover the ruse."), but he is surprisingly unaware of some people's darker sides.
Overall I found Swan Dive to be an engaging and enjoyable read. I found his use of imagery to be good, as shown in such descriptions as, "Slowly, he stops moving, and lies alone, silent, on the grass, by the hedge, in the dark, out of sight." I didn't expect to find myself liking Blue, but there's just something about him that's hard not to like. Personally, I'm hoping to see more of Johnny Heron in the future.
The Subversive Scribe
Translating Latin American Fiction
Suzanne Jill Levine
Dalkey Archive Press, October 2009
Paperback: 208pp; $13.95
Review by John Madera
Synopsizing her own book The Subversive Scribe, Suzanne Jill Levine in "Cositas Are Not Things," the book's penultimate chapter, writes:
The title The Subversive Scribe and what follows – with an ironic smile underneath – is meant to jolt the reader out of a comfortable (or uncomfortable) view of translations as secondary, as faint shadows of primary, vivid but lost, originals. Originals and translations, acts of communication, both fail and succeed, both fulfill and subvert the drive to communicate. The word aspires to be the same, to be as complete as its object (be it another word or a primal reality), but is always, to greater or lesser extent, a fragment, an approximation. To dramatize this I have purposely focused on writers that speak explicitly of the original's self-betrayal.
The writers Levine refers to are some of Latin-America's most inventive, and relatively marginalized, writers, namely, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Manuel Puig, and Severo Sarduy. What drew Levine as a translator to these writers was "the playful, creative possibility of self-betrayal, of re-creating (in) language."
"Language is already always a betrayal," Levine writes. It is "a translation of the object it intends, pretends to re-create." It's an idea that she revisits throughout her book. Whatever words are chosen to describe something "is not the reality it describes but the words used to describe that reality." In other words, words are signs, not the bubbling, raw material that they represent. As words are, at best, approximations of the object they correspond to, a translation is yet another approximation. So then, Levine elevates the role of the translator from mere technician to a kind of co-conspirator who always approximates the act of writing.
For Levine, literary translation should be an act of creation. Her suppositions echo Jorge Luis Borges's "Word Music and Translation," a lecture wherein he describes two camps in regards to translation: the purveyors of literal word-for-word translations and those who take creative license and leaps, where the translation attempts to echo the grandeur of the original, becoming a work of art in its own right. As Levine and Borges argue, translators should be allowed the same room for interpretation as musicians, poets, artists, filmmakers, etc., those who have been inspired by a literary work to realize their own work of art. Borges states that the translator should be allowed to "read a work and then somehow evolv[e] that work from himself, from his own might, from the possibilities hitherto known of his language."
Likewise, Levine asserts that she sees translation as "continuations of the original creative process." Translation "saddl[es] the scholarly and the creative, can be a route through which a writer/translator may seek to reconcile fragments: fragments of texts, of language, of oneself." Therefore, it is impossible for any work to have a definitive translation. A translation will always be a rather than the translation. Levine's belief that translation is a means of creative evolution is a provocative and stimulating idea, and serves as a challenge to potential translators.
The Subversive Scribe is a fascinating over-the-shoulder look at a master translator at work, who approaches texts with sharp rigor, humor, and an improvisatory flair that's coupled with lucid exactitude. As it explores the challenges of translating puns, portmanteaus, neologisms, jokes, and other forms of wordplay, highlights the necessity of finding specific analogue's to regional colloquialisms, and specific cultural and historical associations, and depicts the captivating circumstances surrounding Levine's various translations, The Subversive Scribe brings the reader closer toward understanding the amazingly challenging tasks facing any translator of literary fiction.
Prose and poetry by Jacques Réda
Translated from the French by Aaron Prevots
Host Publications, June 2010
Hardcover: 153pp; $12.00
Review by Roy Wang
With his Proust-like ramblings, Europes is Jacques Réda's entertaining reflection upon the various selves that surface in different locales across the continent. In fact, often the named country provides only the most tangential entry point for the inner world into which he dives. Take for example a passage from "Switzerland. IV. The Eagle":
We had the feeling of belonging to a collegial club for the chosen few: we had seen the eagle.
This is how revealed religions and their martyrs are born. Had we been threatened with irons, fire, boiling hot oil, we would still have persisted: "an eagle, the Eagle, I saw it, I'm telling you. My Belgian friend was with me."
These are the thoughts of a man who is much more concerned with his inner landscapes than ones the train passes through, one who tells the reader about what he would like to have seen rather than the reality that disappointed him.
But how to make such direct introspection palatable? The key is the self-deprecating, distracted tone; it gives the impression that Réda is musing aloud while ambling through the countryside rather than fuming into his laptop. Hence, consistency is not important. Rather, by affecting his limited physical and cognitive powers, he disarms the reader into being very indulgent of his philosophizing. And it carries all the whimsical, cerebral playfulness that is quintessentially French.
Consider, again from "The Eagle," "I wouldn't have confused it with a vulture . . . nor with a condor, which wouldn't exist in the Alps. And let's be sensible: if I thought I'd seen a condor, it would be formal proof that it was indeed an eagle."
Or, from "Dresden's Black and Gold" after describing his rather poor navigation, "a vague impulse of this kind asserted itself, a new trepidation soon offered me a means of intuitively resolving the dilemma. I was tacking."
But Réda does not need to rely on humor, and this is the evidence that we have something of more serious power. Consider, from "Tram 28," "Certainly electricity doesn't age (or so I imagine), but its modes of production have changed to the point of banishing allegorical representations. So much so that the survival of equipment dating from ladies veiled in tulle . . . maintains the illusion that the housing feeds off an inexhaustible reservoir of vintage watts."
Given Réda's preference in this volume for long, rambling prose, the poetry was a welcome contrast, and executed just as well. It also tends toward the narrative, but drops the "affect of unsurity" of his prose, leaving fairly direct statements, with just the right amount of indefiniteness in the better ones. Here is the last stanza from "The Lispoet":
Although with pleasure I note: on this square in Lisbon
where he stays exposed to pigeons' insults, to rain,
for the ten-voiced poet who literally was "no one"
they had the sensitivity to not inscribe a name.
A note on the translation by Aaron Prevots. It generally flows, adhering reasonably well to the French. A few rambling affects and turns of phrase have been muted, losing some of the effect, but the English is also an enjoyable read. Special mention of the poetry translations: Prevots has kept at least a semblance of most of the rhyme schemes, often settling for a abcb from an original abab. There are some stumbles, however this is more than made up for in "Arroz y Luna", where he transcends the original:
Somber days all alike,
The colorless towns
With Sundays' lightning
And the white or black of country;
Love, white bread of suffering;
The fire of memory.
Gourmet Rhapsody
Novel by Muriel Barbery
Translated from the French by Alison Anderson
Europa Editions, September 2009
Paper: 160pp; $15.00
Review by Laura Di Giovine
Gourmet Rhapsody, Muriel Barbery's slim but savory novel, is like poetry served on a platter – filled with dazzling and delicious language. The story begins with the world's most famous (and most despised) food critic realizing that he will die in 48 hours. Monsieur Pierre Arthens lives in Paris, in the building immortalized in Barbery's first novel, The Elegance of the Hedgehog.
Monsieur Arthens spent his life building and destroying people's reputations without caring about the consequences. Yet now, while he's dying, he seeks the simplicity of the one true flavor, something he tasted in his youth and cannot remember: "I am going to die and there is a flavor that has been teasing my taste buds and my heart and I simply cannot recall it. I know that this particular flavor is the first and ultimate truth of my entire life, and that it holds the key to a heart that I have since silenced." For decades, his arrogance and prime position at the top of the restaurant food chain mask what he truly craves – the simplicity of youth. While various themes echo the 2008 Disney film Ratatouille, the book stands alone as a sublime reflection on the human soul.
Barbery traces Monsieur Arthens's life from childhood to his famous profession in adulthood. Along the way, we share in the culinary delights of his past as he searches for the singular flavor that defined his life. We also hear from a cavalcade of characters – his wife, his children, his lover, the homeless man outside his apartment complex – all who have a very strong opinion about this arrogant and self-absorbed man. But what truly stands out is Barbery's mastery with words. The language in Gourmet Rhapsody is something to relish, like a fine wine, crisp yet sumptuous. Sample the following sensuous passage wherein Monsieur Arthens describes his first taste of a tomato:
And yet I had always been acquainted with the tomato, since the time of aunt Marthe's garden, since the summer when an ever more ardent sun kissed the timid little growths, since the moment my teeth tore into the flesh to splatter my tongue with the rich, warm and bountiful juice . . . The resistance of the skin – slightly taut, just enough; the luscious yield of the tissues, their seed-filled liqueur oozing to the corners of one's lips, and that one wipes away without any fear of straining one's fingers; this plump little globe unleashing a flood of nature inside us: a tomato, an adventure.
In another passage, Monsieur Arthens recounts watching his uncle prepare a meal. Arthens never even tasted the food, but watching his uncle's subtle, careful preparation was his true reward that evening. He notes, "[T]his meal that I did not touch remained one of the most delicious I have ever tasted in my life. Tasting is an act of pleasure, and writing about that pleasure is an artistic gesture, but the only true work of art, in the end, is another person's feast."
Arthens meticulously details his first experiences with food – from meat to fish to vegetable to bread to sorbet to whisky, among other delights. He realizes that the simplest flavors are what he's disdained throughout his career, but what call to him now on his deathbed. For example, as a critic, he always favored wine, but now feels that whisky is more rustic and more authentic as a flavor. He philosophizes:
Oh, Mephistophelean whisky, I loved you from the first swig, and betrayed you from the second – but nowhere else did I ever find, amidst the tyranny of flavors imposed upon me by my position, such a nuclear expansion capable of blasting my jaw away with delight.
While Arthens ruminates beautifully on these flavors of his past, none of them are what he seeks. And yet, he discovers again the pleasures of his youth and realizes that he not only feasted on food throughout his life, but also on what accompanies the food – the people, the conversation, the language and the atmosphere. This is authenticity; this is what's important. Simple foods provide the best memories. He mulls over topics such as pleasure (like Alain de Botton does), fleeting happiness, aging and language. By stripping away the falseness of his job, he finds the truth. In the end, it doesn't really matter whether Arthens will find the forgotten flavor because he ultimately returns to simplicity and shuns arrogance.
Rich and savory, Gourmet Rhapsody is a pleasure of the senses.
An Angle of Vision
Women Writers on Their Poor and Working-Class Roots
Ed. Lorraine M. López
University of Michigan Press, October 2009
Paperback: 216pp; $22.95
Review by Krystal Languell
Few aspects of personal experience are taboo any longer, but Lorraine López has collected a set of essays in this anthology that address an emerging topic of national conversation: what does it mean to grow up poor? In our current cultural moment, when the availability of health care for all Americans is being negotiated, the concerns of this collection are particularly sage.
An Angle of Vision: Women Writers on Their Poor and Working-Class Roots gathers prose from eighteen women reflecting on the transition they have each made from lives of struggle into successful careers in the arts. In particular, Amelia Maria De La Luz Montes's "Queen for a Day" and Bich Minh Nguyen's "Laverne & Shirley Days" directly address the evolving role of popular culture in each writer's life.
Nguyen writes about the desire of the men in her family for large electronics, with special focus on acquiring an expensive television. She describes their triumphant upgrade from a black and white model to "a gorgeous behemoth encased solidly in oak," an item that represents success for her family. In college, Nguyen learned through observation that a TV set would no longer be an appropriate "mode of assimilation" for her; upon entering into higher education, a sea change had occurred. "Not to have a television," Nguyen writes, "not to need a television, was to know real privilege."
Readers male and female alike will value the often brutal honesty of the essays in this collection, which is packed with faux pas and gaffes, epiphanies both victorious and discouraging. As Joy Castro writes in her contribution, "Jumping class comes at a price, and the price is not belonging." This book illustrates many strategies for understanding the seldom discussed movement between the working-class and academia – the opportunity to read this book is one such strategy.

Raimondas Rumsas finished third in the 2002 Tour de France before his disgrace and downfall when his wife was caught with a supply of banned substances.
These days he rides gran fondo races in Italy and appears on Lithuanian television dancing competitions.
Hopefully from today Ramunas Navardauskas will become the country's best known cyclist.
