Chestnut Hill Atrium Mall is Simon's worst performer
A new filing by mall owner Simon Property Group revealed what many shoppers already know: the occupancy rate at the troubled Atrium Mall on Route 9 in Chestnut Hill is 67.3 percent — the lowest of the 14 shopping centers it owns in Massachusetts.
The Indiana-based company revealed the occupancy rates in a recent disclosure to the Securities & Exchange Commission. The publicly-traded firm reported that the Auburn Mall was the only shopping center to have a 100 percent occupancy rate. The Wrentham Village Outlets and the Arsenal Mall in Watertown posted 99.5 percent occupancy rates while the Lee Premium Outlets was at a 99.1 percent. The remaining malls including the Mall at Chestnut Hill, Northshore Mall in Peabody, Greendale Mall in Worcester, Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough, South Shore Plaza in Braintree, Square One Mall in Saugus, the Burlington Mall and the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis boasted occupancy rates above 90 percent.
Over the past two years, the struggling Atrium Mall on Route 9 has been losing tenants: Borders shuttered due to the bookseller's bankruptcy. Williams-Sonoma, Abercrombie & Fitch, White House Black Market have also shuttered. Tiffany & Co. moved across Route 9 to the Chestnut Hill Mall and J. Crew and Ross-Simons are expected to follow. Creatoyvity, a toy shop that featured unique specialty toys from around the globe, and Pottery Barn Kids, the upscale children's and baby furniture store, have also recently closed.
A clerk at the Ann Taylor Loft store at the Atrium Mall told a customer last weekend that the store is moving to the Mall at Chestnut Hill in August, reducing the number of retailers to less than two dozen from a high of about 50. An Ann Taylor spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
Once considered a prime retail center, competition from Legacy Place in Dedham and the Natick Collection have hurt the Atrium's sales. Simon will soon face more competition from Chestnut Hill Square that is under construction next door. When completed, the new retail center will include a Wegman's supermarket and other shops at the site of the former Omni Supermarket.
The Simon Property Group has put the Atrium Mall up for sale along with stakes in a dozen other shopping centers in New England. While tenants have heard rumors about who has looked at the space, a sale has not been completed.

Those wondering what Paul Ryan thought of President Obama's State of the Union would do well to ask the lawmaker who has been serving as the Wisconsin Republican's wingman throught the presidential address -- Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.).
Roskam, like Ryan, is a young rising star within House GOP ranks. He was seated next to Ryan at the House GOP leadership table on the right-hand side of the chamber, and the former GOP vice-presidential nominee turned to him more than a dozen times through the State of the Union to comment on the president's remarks.
There were times, however, when Ryan, Roskam and most other House Republicans were silent -- such as when Obama called for action to combat climate change.

Here's the irony behind BofA-Countrywide, the worst bank acquisition ever
In the annals of big deals gone bad, there is no doubt that Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) acquisition of Countrywide Financial Corp. ranks as one of the worst financial decisions in U.S. business history.
This week BofA settled a case with Fannie Mae for some $11.6 billion to buy back loans originating at, you guessed it, Countrywide. It is yet another multibillion dollar concession by BofA, still rueing the day it paid a mere $4 billion for Countrywide just as the housing market was at the brink of collapse. This deal from hell is about to mark its 5th anniversary this week and the price tag for the awful mistake is commonly estimated at over $40 billion. A case could be made that it's far more than that.
The dreadful irony of the ongoing punishment for making that deal is BofA emerged from the housing boom having avoided many of the pitfalls that ensnared other big banks. In fact, it was relatively angelic. Lacking an investment bank with meaningful scale, BofA was not holding toxic levels of mortgage-backed securities that plummeted in value. Its underwriting standards, while not pristine, were not ridiculously wayward. But former BofA CEO Ken Lewis lusted for the loan-origination power of Countrywide, and BofA didn't get gargantuan by letting deals slip by. Instead of picking up a value play, Lewis almost killed Bank of America.
The punishment for the Countrywide deal has seemed almost endless. For that mere $4 billion, BofA acquired a near-deadly financial virus that has cost the bank easily 10 times that amount, according to Wall Street Journal and New York Times accounts that add up some of the various government fines and financial settlements dating back to June, 2010. BofA has paid on both ends, both for faulty loan origination and alleged foreclosure abuses. Among the largest actions: An $11.8 billion settlement as part of a nationwide case against banks for foreclosure abuses. The bank had previously paid Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac $2.5 billion to buy back lousy loans, and paid mortgage investors $8.5 billion to take back their loans.
There are more settlements on the horizon, including the outcome of a case with bond insurer MBIA (NYSE: MBI) that seeks $4.5 billion that losses it took for insuring securitized loans from, you guessed it, Countrywide.
But the biggest hit BofA has taken is to its reputation. It's hard to put a price at that, but it's fair to say the bank's market capitalization, which rose drastically in 2012 as it looked like BofA was getting closer to being out of the settlement woods, would easily be $10 billion to $20 billion higher without all the litigation and negative publicity.
There is a silver lining for BofA, however. In the panic and madness of the fall of 2008, the bank stole Merrill Lynch for $20 billion when Merrill was on the brink of collapse. Lewis had always wanted an investment bank, and even when he saw how much trouble the bank was in and got cold feet, the Feds, including Henry Paulson, made sure the deal got done anyway. It was ugly for a while — absorbing Merrill has been an awkward culture clash, to say the least — but this is one deal that already has paid for itself. Merrill has generated some $32 billion in profit from 2009-2011, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Here's one purchase Lewis can be proud of and one that should keep paying BofA shareholders for years to come.

Anyone who is familiar with my work using the Fibonacci ratios will hear me repeat some things over and over and over. One of those things is that many moves tend to terminate at extensions of prior swings if only temporarily. This is when I strongly suggest that traders ratchet up their stops if they are currently in a position. The aforementioned scenario has been the case in Google ($GOOGL) recently (see chart below). After the last buy setup we had in this stock against the 3/8 low, we have met two upside targets and have rallied $73.31. Since we are EXTENDED, (we slightly surpassed the 1.618 extension of the prior swing) this stock is in the position for a deeper downside correction. It doesn't mean it will definitely happen, but that is a good reason to consider booking some profits and/or really tightening up on stops on the long positions.
There is more information on this chart, however, that leads me to the same conclusion. I see Fibonacci time cycles between 3/31-4/1. Since we were trading UP into this time window, that also suggested, at least, a short term high may unfold. Aside from the timing, there is also price resistance in the way of a .786 retracement back to the Feb high along with a 100 % projection of a prior rally swing. All of the tools I use not only tell me when to get into a trade, but they also tell me when to either EXIT or at least ratchet up stops on current positions. The moral of the story. If whatever you are TRADING is in an extended move….be prepared to protect profits as many move tend to terminate at extensions. $GOOGL is currently in this position!! So are the S&P futures!!!

Needles in the Obesity Haystack
For some time, various special-interest groups have sought to outlaw expansion of the suburban lifestyle preferred by most Americans, pejoratively called "urban sprawl." Operating under the self-congratulatory label of "smart growth," the movement has been strongest in urban areas, such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, and Denver, where anti-growth measures have been adopted.
But the movement has run aground on its own faulty research. For example, it no longer decries the loss of valuable farmland to urbanization, a claim put to rest by President Bill Clinton's Department of Agriculture. Farmland has surrendered to improved productivity, not urban development. Smart-growth advocates have also have been on the defensive because they didn't understand how rationing raises prices: Their land-rationing policies have raised the price of housing and denied home ownership as an option to low-income households.
In the wake of these failures, smart-growth advocates opened a new front. University of Maryland researchers, working with anti-suburban lobbyists at Smart Growth America, published research blaming suburban lifestyles for America's obesity crisis. This research, too, was flawed:
* The increase in obesity occurred two to three decades after the period of greatest suburbanization.
* The researchers included four counties in New York City that are more dense than any other of the more than 400 counties in the study, and more than 10 times as dense as the average American or Canadian urban area. Such "outliers" are properly excluded from statistical analyses because they tend to skew the results in unreliable ways.
* Although past research has shown obesity tends to increase as household income falls, the income data available in the researchers' dataset was excluded from the an alysis.
Even with these deficiencies, the suburban to city differences in obesity were trivial. The researchers' model predicted, for example, barely a two-pound difference between average weights in the city of San Francisco and suburban Marin County. And this was not the typical detached academic study. The press conferences and political briefings resembled peddling medicine out of wagons in the western frontier.
Now there is a new installment. Professor Lawrence Frank of the
University of British Columbia (UBC) led researchers on a study of neighborhood obesity in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The results indicated people who drive more (that is, people who live in more suburban settings) tend to be more obese.
Again there was a marketing campaign not typical of dispassionate academic research. There were press conferences and an impressive spread in a special Time magazine issue on obesity. And also again, there are serious flaws in the research.
While Frank and his team managed to collect individual data on weight and income, they never apparently asked about eating habits. There is good reason to have included diet in the study, since caloric intake has increased in recent decades.
Approximately 6 percent of the study participants drove an average of more than five hours per day. By any standard, this is substantial. The Atlanta drivers were behind the wheel for more than five hours at a rate more than four times the U.S. average as indicated by the Nationwide
Household and Transportation Survey. The UBC study cannot predict the relationship between driving and obesity for any of the more than 10,000 people involved, let alone for the rest of the U.S.
Indeed, one of the study's co-authors has gone out of his way to disclaim the principal thesis of the marketing campaign, that suburban lifestyles cause obesity.
The University of Maryland and University of British Columbia studies tell nothing about the causes of obesity. They do, however, illustrate that if you look hard enough for a needle in a haystack, you may find it. That doesn't mean, however, that the needle created the haystack.

Welcome to the Sex Tech Patent IndeXXX™ bulletin. The currently-available editions feature a compilation of information relating U.S. utility patents that issued in 2015 and 2016 that appear to fall under the general umbrella of "Sex Tech."* The bulletin includes patents on sex toys, sex furniture, condoms, and other technology meant to enhance sexual pleasure. Medical devices are excluded, although sometimes, it's a fine line as to where sex toys end and medical devices begin. VR and AR technologies are included if they incorporate sex devices.
Currently, the bulletin lists a total of 47 U.S. utility patents issued in 2016 for Sex Tech devices, and 53 in 2015, working out to about an 11% drop. The bulletin reveals that some big names received patents over the last couple of years including LELO Inc.**, Vibease Pte. Ltd.**, and Crave Innovations, Inc.**, among others.
We begun with the first half of 2016, and have been working our way forward – as well as backward – from there. Over time, the bulletin will be expanded to incorporate design patents, patent application publications (applications that have published, but may not necessarily have issued yet), and European patents. The content is evolving, and results will be reported on a quarterly basis moving forward. Be sure to join our mailing list to receive future editions, as they become available, right in your email inbox!
The patents in each edition are categorized as follows:
- Massage for the genitals
- Devices for external stimulation of the genitals
- For inserting the genitals therein, e.g. vibrating rings for males or breast stimulating devices
- Clitoral stimulation devices
- Devices insertable in the genitals
- Having substantially cylindrical shape, e.g. dildos
- Devices for use during sexual intercourse
- Massage devices for cavities of the body, e.g. anus
- Vibration or percussion related aspects of sexual devices
- Penis erection devices
- Sexual electrostimulation devices
- Sex furniture
- Condoms

> So, though I didn't see JohnH's column, it would surprise me that
> anyone is suggesting that competitive balance is good now.
By JohnH's measure (# of teams with 60 or more wins or losses), the
last two years have been two of the seven most competitive in league
history.It just occurred to me that the topic of "competitive balance" is more subjective than I originally thought. For me, I think of a balanced league as one in which the outcome of any given game is close to 50-50, where picking winners unpredictable. I've always thought about it that way: if the result is a foregone conclusion, where's the competitiveness? My focus has always been on the game in front of me, at least as far as this topic goes.Other people like to see the absence of truly dominant teams (or truly putrid) during the course of the season as evidence for balance. JohnH seems to favour this view in his column. There is nothing inherently mistaken with this view. From this perspective it makes perfect sense to look at measures of the variability of winning percentages like standard deviations.Still other people focus not on individual games, nor individual seasons, but eras: frequent "dynasties" to them indicate an imbalanced league, as do horrendous sad sack franchises like the Clippers. A dominant team is one that manages to win across many seasons, not just one or two. Someone who favours this view of competitiveness would deny the standard deviation argument as irrelevant; they would claim that if the Celtics or the Lakers win every single season, it doesn't matter the variation in the league winning percentages. It's hard to deny the validity of this argument.What I like about the Competitive Balance Ratio is that it combines the two elements from the paragraphs above: it is the ratio of variation of team wins during one season to the variation across seasons. A pretty neat idea, but still needs a wee bit of tweaking IMO. For example, its reliance on winning percentages is too abstract for a concept as ephemeral as competitive balance, I think -- substituting some sort of ranks might give results closer to the everyperson view. After all, does it really matter whether the Bulls had 30 wins or 38 wins? In neither case are they in any danger of making the playoffs, and I think most fans see the primary difference between the Bulls and the Bucks as the difference between a crappy team and a postseason team, and not between a 30-win team and a 42-win team.Which brings up another thing: presumably the economists studying balance are doing so from their perspective as economists, and not necessarily as fans. Their definitions of "balance" may not be the same as the average fan's definition -- or yours and mine, for that matter. Maybe DeanO can add some thoughts here, but I'm guessing that econs study the topic by looking at its economic effects, such as attendance. This, however, is not my primary interest -- I am interested in the health of the league as I define it, not as it applies to those studying its economic health. For this reason I am interested in finding a measure for competitive balance that assumes my definition. CBR looks like it does more to capture what I think of as balance.
He also suggests in there that imbalance is good for the league - a
question I have to imagine has been answered in some form by some
economist at some point, but doesn't seem that difficult to do if it
hasn't.An argument could be made that the health of the league is increased by having the same recognizable stars achieving success on a regular basis. I can see some validity to this argument: the continuity of familiar names would be appealing to very casual fans, I think.ed

United States Senator
TAPS Honorary Chairman
JOHN WILLIAM WARNER, Republican from Virginia, was elected to the United States Senate on Nov. 7, 1978. He was reelected to a second term on Nov. 6, 1984, and won a third term on Nov. 6, 1990, with 82 percent of the vote.
Senator Warner is the second most senior member of the Armed Services Committee. Recognizing his interest in defense and national security matters, Majority Leader Dole appointed Senator Warner to the National Security Working Group and the Commission on Roles and Capabilities of U.S. Intelligence. The latter commission, proposed by Warner legislation, will review U.S. intelligence community activities in the post Cold War global environment.
He also serves as the second most senior member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and as a member of the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, Small Business Committee, and the Rules and Administration Committee.
Before entering the Senate, Senator Warner carried out special assignments for the United States in government- to-government negotiations on military, scientific, economic, educational and cultural matters, which gave him a background in national security and foreign affairs.
His experience in the area of defense issues has included service from 1969 to 1973 as Department of Defense representative to the Law of the Sea talks in Geneva.
He served as Undersecretary of the Navy from 1969 to 1972, and as Secretary of the Navy from 1972 to 1974.
In 1944, at the age of 17, he left high school to volunteer for the United States Navy. He was released from active duty as a 3rd-class electronics technician in July 1946, and enrolled at Washington and Lee University. He was awarded a B.S. degree in basic engineering in 1949.
He then entered the University of Virginia Law School. In September 1950, he volunteered for another tour of active duty, this time in the United States Marine Corps. He served in Korea as a first lieutenant and communications officer with the First Marine Air Wing.
He was released from active duty in May 1952. He returned to law school and was awarded a law degree by the University of Virginia in 1953.
Senator Warner is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars; American Legion; Alpha Chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa at Washington and Lee University; and Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Middleburg, Virginia.
Mr. Warner was born Feb. 18, 1927. He is the grandson of John W. and Mary Tinsley Warner of Amherst County, Virginia, and the son of the late Martha Budd Warner and the late Dr. John W. Warner, a physician and surgeon. He has three children and two grandsons.

Luton cement fourth spot with win over Notts County
Luton virtually assured themselves of a play-off place in Sky Bet League Two after a 2-1 win over Notts County.
Strikes from Ollie Palmer and Pelly Ruddock saw the Hatters stay fourth, six points clear of eighth-placed Mansfield, with a goal difference of 17 in their favour.
County were ahead in the sixth minute through Elliott Hewitt's unerring finish after the ball broke to him inside the area.
Dan Potts fired into the side-netting, but Luton were level after 16 minutes as Danny Hylton's wonderful...

There are few literary awards that authors are less excited or grateful to be nominated for than the annual Bad Sex Awards, the Literary Review's tongue-in-cheek ode to the most cringe-worthy depictions of the nasty in the past twelve months of fiction. While the ultimate winner of the 2014 prize probably won't be rushing to put their plaster foot trophy on the mantelpiece, they can at least take pride in being amongst such illustrious company, as past winners include Melvin Bragg, A.A. Gill and Tom Wolfe. Sadly, none of this year's shortlist (which includes Haruki Murakami, Michael Cunningham and the most recent Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan) are especially heinous, although Flanagan's attempt includes the sexual deed being interrupted by a dog eating a penguin. We've waded through the bad metaphors, questionable word choices and unnerving descriptions of bodily fluids to bring you the absolute worst (and funniest) nominees of the award. Seriously, don't read this at work. We did warn you.
I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe.
"Hoyt began moving his lips as if he were trying to suck the ice cream off the top of a cone without using his teeth … Slither slither slither slither went the tongue, but the hand that was what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire terrain of her torso to explore and not just the otorhinolaryngological caverns …
Oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast joins the pectoral sheath of the chest no, the hand was cupping her entire right – Now! She must say 'No, Hoyt' and talk to him like a dog… "
The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell.
"Una had stretched out on the bed of the guillotine; I lifted the lunette, made her put her head through it, and closed it on her long neck, after carefully lifting her heavy hair. She was panting. I tied her hands behind her back with my belt, then raised her skirt. I didn't even bother to lower her panties, just pushed the lace to one side and spread her buttocks with both hands: in the slit, nestling in hair, her anus gently contracted. I spit on it. 'No,' she protested. I took out my penis, lay on top of her, and thrust it in. She gave a long stifled cry. I was crushing her with all my weight; because of the awkward position – my trousers were hindering my legs – I could only move in little jerks. Leaning over the lunette, my own neck beneath the blade, I whispered to her: 'I'm going to pull the lever, I'm going to let the blade drop.' She begged me: 'Please, fuck my pussy.' – 'No.' I came suddenly, a jolt that emptied my head like a spoon scraping the inside of a soft-boiled egg."
The City of Devi by Manil Suri.
"Surely supernovas explode that instant, somewhere, in some galaxy. The hut vanishes, and with it the sea and the sands – only Karun's body, locked with mine, remains. We streak like superheroes past suns and solar systems, we dive through shoals of quarks and atomic nuclei. In celebration of our breakthrough fourth star, statisticians the world over rejoice."
The Last Banquet by Jonathan Grimwood.
"Reaching behind me, I found the Brie and broke off a fragment, sucking her nipple through it. She tasted almost as she had the day I took the drop of milk on my finger.
Manon smiled when she realised what I was doing.
You know the peasant saying? If you can't imagine how neighbouring vineyards can produce such different wines put one finger in your woman's quim and another up her arse, then taste both and stop asking stupid questions… My fingers found both vineyards. At the front, she tasted salt as anchovy and as delicious. At the rear, bitter like chocolate and smelling strangely of tobacco."
The Quiddity of Will Self by Sam Mills.
" … oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, Will, oh, yes, oh, semen-bedizened blood-pusillanimous bed onanistic quiddity fulcrating pelvic thrusts smoke thick typewriter's click-clack-click Will Our Cock is Spent screaming loving Will is pleased Will is Saved I have done it I have done I am the Chosen One I am his Chosen One oh Will for ever I am yours for ever I am yours for ever I am."
The Shape of Her by Rowan Somerville.
"He grasped the side of her hips, pushed her away and pulled her to him with a slap. Again and again with more force and velocity. Tine pressed her face deeper into the cushion grunting into the foam at each thrust.
The wet friction of her, tight around him, the sight of her open, stretched around him, the cleft of her body, it tore a climax out of him with a final lunge. Like a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect with a too blunt pin he screwed himself into her."
From Will by Christopher Rush.
"O glorious pubes! The ultimate triangle, whose angles delve to hell but point to paradise. Let me sing the black banner, the blackbird's wing, the chink, the cleft, the keyhole in the door. The fig, the fanny, the cranny, the quim – I'd come close to it now, this sudden blush, this ancient avenue, the end of all odysseys and epic aim of life, pulling at my prick now, pulling like a lodestone."
Black Swan Green by David Mitchell.
"If Dawn Madden's breasts were a pair of Danishes, Debby Crombie's got two Space Hoppers. Each armed with a gribbly nipple. Tom Yew kissed them in turn and his saliva glistened in the April sun. I know watching was wrong but I couldn't not. Tom Yew slipped off her red panties and stroked the cressy hair there.
'If you want me to stop, Madam Crombie, you have to say now.'
'Oooh, Master Yew,' she croodled, 'don't you dare.'
Tom Yew got on her and sort of jiggled there and she gasped like he was giving her a Chinese burn and wrapped her legs round him, froggily. Now he moved up and down, Man-from Atlantisly. His silver chain jiggled on his neck.
Now her grubby soles met like they were praying.
Now his skin was glazed in roast pork sweat.
Now she made a noise like a tortured Moomintroll.
Now Tom Yew's body jerkjerked judderily jackknifed and a noise like a ripping cable tore out of him. Once more, like he'd been booted in the balls.
Her fingernails'd sunk salmony welts into his arse.
Debby Crombie's mouth made a perfect O."

Item description for Animation: Form Follows Fun by Kristin Feireiss Regina Dahmen-Ingenhoven...In amusement parks and theme parks the role of architecture in generating an emotional experience has long outgrown its mere functional and structural aspects. This trend is now pervading shopping malls, airports, museums, even banks, and is one which progressive architects will have to confront, as it becomes an increasingly important feature for investors and users in our pleasure-seeking society. With a wealth of international examples ranging from the prototype Disneyland (where Walt Disney's concepts of animation were congenially transformed into reality) to historical amusement parks and modern day theme parks, "Animation" investigates this global trend in contemporary architecture for the first time. Rich visual images and astute analytical texts reveal how animation architecture functions, the effects it can achieve and the uses it can be put to.
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

ESET has always been one of the greatest companies in terms of security and always has good quality antivirus products. Unlike many other antiviruses on the market, ESET was always preferred by the IT staff rather than by basic users because the interface (excluding the latest version) has always been quite tricky to manage, however, always very effective and convenient.
Pros :
Cons :
When I started my own business just under a year ago, I purchased a new Windows 10 laptop and a MacBook Pro. I opted out of any security for the Mac, but I knew I wanted to have some type of antivirus or internet security package for my PC. I had been using AVG on my personal computer for a long time but always felt like there had to be a better solution that allowed for a faster boot up or that used fewer system resources. AVG wasn't terrible, but it just left me suspicious that there was better. Well, new computers were the trigger for me to spend a little time researching the top security software brands and decide which was the best fit to protect my new business computer. I have always known Symantec products as system resource hogs despite the real or perceived benefit of their top-notch security and regular definition updates. I wanted something much lighter and my reading led me to Avast as the top competitor with AVG. I was new to Avast so I tried the free version to explore its interface and get a feel for its efficiency. I was impressed with what I saw and I decided this was the way to go for me. I use Avast on my work computer and have since converted my personal computer as well.

Cons :

We can say that ESET NOD32 is one of the best antivirus solutions available in the market.

Wednesday 31 December 1969
Avast Pro Antivirus falls towards the end of our rankings this year. It's a solid, basic antivirus with some good features, but noticeable problems. Overall, Avast Pro Antivirus 2015 is a decent antivirus software with good extra features. However, there are far better options for a well-rounded security suite.More about Avast Pro Antivirus

that was nice
| Raywolf Shibelt chapter 3 . 8/7/2012
I'm glad I've found this fic. Thanks for sharing.
| LostForWords07 chapter 3 . 7/11/2008
Great story, I really loved it.
| Tresa Cho chapter 3 . 2/16/2007
I think... I think I've read this one before, but I can't remember and it's letting me review again, so I am. I liked this one better than your other one. You have a thing for torturing poor Wolfram. It's all right, he's one of those characters who screams 'Torture me!'. Great job.
| Blissdreamer chapter 3 . 10/22/2006
Hey, this story rocks like hell. I love it so much! Keep up the gorgeousness, sweetie!
| Anime Writer2 chapter 3 . 10/21/2006
| Sayoko Bizen chapter 3 . 10/19/2006
good job. i like how Yuuri metamorphosed into a just ruler. he'd always had a good sense of justice and the difference between good and evil, but even for Yuuri there would have had to have been times like this when the lines get blurred and there are grey areas to be traversed. you're right. i DID like this more for its seriousness. )
| flying metal child chapter 3 . 10/16/2006
This is a great story! I'm partial to torture anyway (yep, I'm a sadist) so it's a treat to see Wolf in pain XD I liked the resolution concerning the prisoner. I too hope he chooses the gold and sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
| Kato-chan chapter 3 . 10/16/2006
Thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 chapters. Wolfram is a cutie pie and I love the fact that this is post get-together. There aren't enough fics out there that portray them as fully fledged couples. *sigh* I'll need to reread this later. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. (not the first chapter of course!) :)
| Leuv chapter 3 . 10/15/2006
it's very nice fic.
| Kato-chan chapter 1 . 10/15/2006
Whoa... you've certainly got my attention. Poor Wolfram...
I just love it when the characters show this protective side of them, especially towards Wolfram. The poor boy was just begging for it in the series.
I'll be anxiously awaiting the next part!
| Sayoko Bizen chapter 1 . 10/15/2006
i've seen similar plotlines.
i hope you have some twists up your sleeve or we'll snooze through this. )
keep writing!

The Arab Spring and Occupy movements of 2011 highlighted the power of collective revolution and the facilitative role of the sadvipra. When the oppression and exploitation of a dominating class reaches a critical breaking point, the floodgates open due to a wave of courageous efforts aimed at restoring balance.
"Sadvipras are inside us."
As a volunteer yoga and meditation teacher, I have started many of my courses by asking, "What do you want out of life?" Some people answer that they want something material, such as a house, car or food, while others desire something emotional and psychological, such as healthy relationships, a sense of security, or to be respected. The responses tend to confirm Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We then ask each other: "Why, and what do those things give you?" The answer is, without fail, personal happiness.
Turning to Sarkar's Social Cycle if we were to plot society's happiness, such as the Gross National Happiness, against time, with each era of the Social Cycle, happiness would rise and fall with the beneficial and exploitative phases.
At first glance, Sarkar's Social Cycle may seem a little too predictable and defeatist–not another exploitative phase! But herein lies the beauty of the sadvipra concept.
Sadvipras become aware of exploitation as soon as it begins and are ready to act against it, facilitating the revolutionary change of power from one class to the next. They ought not to be confused with unnecessarily destabilizing groups, though their wisdom in knowing when to act and when not to act evolves over time.
As sadvipras develop, the level of exploitation that society tolerates will become less and less. Therefore the duration of each exploitative phase will shorten, and the total happiness will continue to increase in both a cyclical and linear fashion. This gives humanity a sense of control over our collective happiness, freeing us from fatalistic notions of helplessness (shown below).
Where do we find these sadvipras? Perhaps surprisingly, we don't need to look elsewhere, because they are inside us. Each of us has the capacity and duty to become one. The more we engage in spiritual practice (e.g. meditation and other inner wisdom practices), the more connection we feel with our deepest self and those around us. The more connection we feel, the less we can tolerate exploitation and the faster we will want to act and inspire others to act.
Inner work through spiritual practice isn't the only criterion of a sadvipra and a clear shortage of them in the world today might make one wonder if this is an overly-idealistic endeavor. However, this pragmatic idealist doesn't believe so. The qualities of sadvipras can be found in many individuals, though perhaps not all together in one person at this point in history. Some individuals have a tremendous revolutionary spirit which we can learn from. Some teach us how to liberate the disempowered. Some demonstrate unwavering moral courage and selfless service. Others have great compassion, love and spiritual wisdom. The sadvipra self is a collection of the best components of leadership and moral courage, and our movement along its continuum is a natural evolutionary step.
Here are some tips to start you on your evolutionary (and revolutionary) way:
- Develop your shudra self by doing selfless volunteer service with the homeless, prisoners, mental health patients, addicts, etc. By listening to and working with those who are suffering, you will learn to broaden your compassion, develop humility and realize the importance of human values.
- Develop your ksattriya self by joining a sports team, doing martial arts, learning first aid and rescue skills, or anything else involving teamwork, action and overcoming challenges/fear. This will help you to develop courage and become a team player.
- Develop your vipra self by refining your intellect, creativity and intuition through study, artistic endeavors and meditation. This will help you to be more innovative and wise in an increasingly complex world.
- Develop your vaeshya self by starting a small business or cooperative, joining a fundraising effort, or taking on some managerial/organizational roles in paid or volunteer positions. This will help you learn how to mobilize resources and ideas, necessary for achieving all kinds of goals.
- Practice ethical behavior and moral courage by standing up for what is right. However, choose your battles wisely to avoid burnout.
- Develop a Neohumanist mindset by challenging your worldview and removing your "isms." Look for opportunities to meet, dialogue and work with people from other races and cultures.
- Become a 'less-ego'[1] leader through the principles of servant leadership, collective leadership and facilitative/coaching leadership. Rarely are the best leaders single-handed visionary heroes using their charisma to seduce us towards their goal. Rather they are the ones who facilitate growth and learning by empowering others to be part of a revolutionary process–no matter how big or small.
- Avoid the pitfalls of leadership stereotypes (e.g., the savior, the superhero, the emotionless manager) by breaking with tradition and developing a style that works for both you and those around you.
- Build your emotional intelligence by developing dialogue, conflict resolution and active listening skills.
- Build your spiritual intelligence by developing your existential and transcendental awareness, conscious state expansion, and personal meaning/life purpose.[2]
- Develop critical thinking skills and commit to being a lifelong learner by engaging in reflective action learning and self-analysis.
As more people commit to the journey of becoming a sadvipra (whether consciously or otherwise), the greater is our collective capacity to develop a society that promotes collective happiness and fulfillment. Everybody has the capacity to become a sadvipra–all you have to do is start.

During that time she was among the first 15 women to become an Air Force pilot; she supported humanitarian operations after the Bali bombings of 2002; she organized national competitions and led teams in military sporting events; and she studied and used empowering, holistic leadership principles to guide individuals, teams and organizations through personal and collective change. She now works as a leadership development trainer for organizations and communities that are in search of liberating leadership and healthy cultures. www.revolutionaryfutures.com

Michelle Trachtenberg for Coach!
Michelle Trachtenberg lends her innate design sense and penchant for perfecting that tough-girl-with-a-sugary-sweet-side vibe to her first jewelry collection in collaboration with Coach Poppy. Slated to launch in Spring 2010, Michelle Trachtenberg for Poppy is refined-romantic with attitude, bringing a decidedly punky look to a lush mix of materials and inspirations. Pegged as having a uniquely ââ¬ÅMarie Antoinette meets Blondieââ¬Â quality, the capsule collection fuses Swarovski crystals in light amethyst, black diamond, and clear gemstone colors together with ivory pearls and bold mismatched hardware.àA heart-shaped crest and antique key charms are the centerpieces of this ultra-femme and edgy collection; in essence, Poppy is the key to Michelleââ¬â¢s heart.
The collection is preceded by a small preview assortment of bee motif pieces for holiday, available now in Coach retail stores and on www.coach.com.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun is one actor who is completely dedicated to his work. He has been working hard and improving himself as an actor for every film. After two back to back blockbusters like Race Gurram and S/O Satyamurthy, the actor is back to summer race this year with his recent movie titled Sarainodu. Boyapati Sreenu directed the film which has enough loads of action and mass elements to entertain the audience.
Today the film has completed its four days on box office and with the end of Monday on positive note, it seems that this film can do better and run smoothly in weekdays too. If Sarainodu manages to do so then it will really stand high on first week report. Anyways, by now the fifth day income is not that good as past 4 days but still stands around 3.5 crores* from AP & Telangana regions; which makes its performance graph good enough on the negative side too.
The collections have been strong enough even on its second day and the movie collected Rs 4.8 crores across the domestic circles in the country. The overseas collections have been dull and the movie made Rs 1.2 crores making the total second day collections Rs 6 crores. Sarainodu made Rs 21.67 crores in two days of its box office run.
First half of the film has been loved by most of the audience in comparison to the second half as first half was filled with lots of punches, drama etc whereas second half seemed also good. In addition to it, absence of any other interesting movie near it has also acted as a manipulator for the film in attracting audience more. Movie on totality reported decent occupancy on its fourth day of release in spite of today being working day which indicates low box office collection due to weekdays it has received positive feedback.

About the Property
Villa, 6 Bedrooms, 6 Baths, (Sleeps 13)
The house is perched on the cliff top 300 ft directly above the Caribbean Sea looking straight at the magnificent Pitons across Soufriere Bay. The perspective of the Pitons is special as is the connection with the ocean as nothing stands between our beautiful home and the vast, blue, mystical pannarama to the horizon.
Vast living areas are provided both inside the house and around the infinity edge swimming pool. A 60 foot sitting room and covered veranda provide ample relaxation space for entertaining and unwinding.
All five double en-suite bedroom suites face the Pitons and have their own balcony areas. The horizon from the house also sweeps round to the setting sun offering one of the most amazing and romantic locations imaginable. On clear days you can also see the island of St Vincent.
A private path leads down 300 feet to a stony beach which is directly on one of the island's marine dive reserves.
The house comes fully staffed; house keeper, chef, gardener/pool maintenance and night watchman - all you have to do is enjoy the most relaxing and beautiful location. Our wonderful staff are there to take care of you.

How Does It Feel?
Today's New York Times has a terrifying article about the complete disintegration of law and order in Haiti. What makes the article so upsetting, aside from the graphic descriptions of violence and revenge, is this Reuters photograph of a man identified only as Tiroro, left, and an unidentified member of a band of vigilantes about to exact their revenge on Tiroro under which the article runs.
The Times describes the circumstances around Tiroro's death as follows:
After what the thugs did to his son, no punishment seemed harsh enough to Roland Lysias.
Two months ago, loyalists of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide kidnapped his 21-year-old son, Junior, and tortured him, chopping off his hands and feet and poking out his eyes before burning his body, because he had supported a militant opposition group, Mr. Lysias said.
So on Wednesday, when an armed band of vigilantes found the man he said was responsible for his son's death, a pro-Aristide militant known as Tiroro, he watched with satisfaction, he said, as they beat him unconscious, threw gasoline-doused tires around his neck and set him on fire. He described how the chanting and cheering crowd threw rocks at the man's burning body, indifferent to his screams for mercy.
This is one of the most fascinating and horrifying images I've ever seen (even more so than the Eddie Adams's infamous photograph of a Vietcong prisoner being executed in the street) for all that it shows and all that it implies--its powerful intimacy and complete lack of humanity--and looking at it and reading the accompanying article fills me with questions:
In short, it's one hell of a picture.

Ask Old Mutual's outgoing chief executive Julian Roberts what he's going to do when he leaves the insurance giant this year and you don't get the usual gardening/golf course response.
After a lifetime sitting behind desks in the insurance industry, Roberts says he's going back to college to get fully qualified as an electrician. Doing electrical jobs is how he unwinds after a hard day at the office, apparently.
"I love working with my hands, and I'm going to indulge myself," he tells Spy. Bright spark, that man Roberts. Don't bet against him resurfacing with a big chairmanship in the New Year though. Pity he's not studying plumbing: Gareth Davis might be looking to move on from Wolseley by then.
* Is Microsoft's Satya Nadella the most irritating boss ever? His corporate emails are marginally less pleasant to read than listening to fingernails being scraped down a blackboard. Nadella, in a silky, patronising tone, likes to "share with you" a lot, with a heavy dollop of corporate bull. Last year he told women not to ask for a raise and "synthesised our strategic direction as a productivity and platform company" as he sacked 18,000 staff.
It's all in the name for ad crowd
Demand for tickets for the doubtless fascinating Real-Time Advertising Summit, to be held in London in November, have apparently surged in the last day or two.
This may be because of the early-bird discount for those booking before the end of June with tickets at £1230 plus VAT rather than the full price £1495.
Or it could it be because the chief operating officer of WPP-owned digital agency GroupM has just been announced as one of the key speakers. This gentleman's name is Ruud Wanck.
* Betfair punters are not getting exercised about the referendum on the UK's possible exit from the European Union just yet.
"They want a date set and the actual wording of the question before they'll stake their money," says boss Breon Corcoran.
But he adds they have perked up at Donald Trump's declaration as a US presidential candidate.
"You can get 100-1 for that," he says. Hardly generous.Reuse content
