On June 17, 2010, the House voted to approve H.R. 5297, Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, by a vote of 241-182. The bill would give the Treasury Department $30 billion of taxpayer money and would authorize the Treasury Secretary to use the funds to make capital investments in small banks (less than $10 billion in assets) to "increase the availability of credit for small businesses." The bill is currently being considered by the Senate. On August 30, 2010, President Obama, urging the Senate to approve the bill, cautioned that "holding this bill hostage is directly detrimental to our economic growth." In truth, however, the bill is nothing more than a thinly-veiled rehash of tired Democrat policies that have caused spending, deficits and debt to explode over the past 18 months while consistently failing to create jobs.
If At First You Don't Succeed, Spend, Spend Again
While the objectives of H.R. 5297 may be laudable, the policy blindly ignores the findings of the Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) which clearly states that the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) may have little or no effect on small business credit access or job creation. According to the Panel's May 2010 report, "The SBLF also raises questions about whether, in light of the [Capital Purchase Program's] poor performance in improving credit access, any capital infusion program can successfully jump-start small business lending. Supply-side solutions that rely on bank balance sheets, such as the CPP and the SBLF, may not increase lending." Ignoring the failure of similar programs in the past, the Obama administration continues to advance the same policies of spending and government bailouts.
Democrats Spurning Demand
The COP report also pointed out that sub-normal levels of small business lending could be driven by a number of factors, including fewer financially sound businesses in a tightened underwriting environment or less demand for loans by businesses cutting costs and facing lower sales—not just the lack of capital on the part of lenders, as Democrat policies assume. In supplemental comments to the report, Panel member Mark McWatters wrote, "As long as businesses are faced with the multiple challenges of…enhanced political risk associated with unpredictable governmental interventions in the private sector, and uncertain health care and energy costs, it is unlikely that they will enthusiastically assume the entrepreneurial risk necessary for protracted economic expansion."
Also included in the COP report was data from a survey of small business owners conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). That organization's survey concluded, "Small business owners make it clear that the Administration and Congress never understood and still do not understand Main Street's problem. The problem is sales and to a lesser extent uncertainty." In a report issued early this year, NFIB made it unmistakably clear that the policies of this administration have failed to address the real economic problems facing small businesses: "Both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue have done little to stimulate sales, knowingly initiated major destabilizing policy changes in a deep, destabilizing recession, lost interest in working out real estate issues, and chose instead the ineffective route to increase small business access to credit by increasing the number and size of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, the latter being a bit like using a garden hose to put out a house fire." Yet Democrats' economic agenda continues to push on a string, with taxpayer obligations and consumer pessimism—instead of small business jobs—the only thing growing.
Where Are The Jobs?
A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed titled "Why I'm Not Hiring" deconstructed the analysis that a manager undertakes today in deciding whether to hire a new employee. Demonstrating that his business must spend $74,000 to pay an employee a nominal salary of $59,000 plus benefits, the business owner explains that his obligations to the government for the hire amounts to a 33 percent surtax each year. One of the largest considerations in employment decisions is the effect of taxes on the costs of labor. Small business managers around the country are certain that Democrats intend for taxes on business owners to go in one direction: up. Moreover, Obamacare is already hurting businesses around the country as insurance providers are forced to raise premiums in anticipation of expanded entitlements. Instead of fostering a stable market for small businesses, Democrats reflexively rely on deficit spending as a solution. These policies have failed to create jobs over the last 18 months and will fail to create jobs in the future.

Day 1: Schlumberger in Houston
So my adventure began today in Houston. After effectively two sleepless nights in a row, there was no time for jet lag with my ride picking me up at 7:30am this morning.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Bang & Olufsen issued a second round of personnel cuts and plans to raise $70.3 million by issuing preferential stock, and it announced an accelerated product-launch schedule to cope with the world economic crisis, turn around a first-half operating loss, and carry through restructuring plans announced last October.
The luxury A/V brand also secured operational financing with its existing banks.
The action plan won't put B&O into the black for the current 2008 to 2009 fiscal year, ended May 31, but will enable it to break even during the 2009 to 2010 fiscal year, according to company forecasts.
As announced last December, B&O forecasts sales of $544.3 million to $579.4 million in the current fiscal year and a loss before taxes of $45.7 million to $66.7 million, excluding restructuring costs expected of about $17.6 million. The effect of restructuring and other cost savings will amount to $43.9 million in the next fiscal year "when the aim is to break even," the company said.
Sales during the current fiscal year's first half, ended Nov. 30, fell 29.2 percent to $380.6 million, producing a loss before taxes of $36.4 million, compared with a year-ago profit before taxes of $26.3 million. The company's operating loss came to $36 million in the first half, compared with operating income of $29.2 million during the year-ago period.
"The global economic and financial crisis and the comparatively small number of product launches were the main causes of the recent decrease in turnover," said president/CEO Karl Kristian Hvidt Nielsen.
The share issue, he noted, "will give the company an economic backup to carry through the plans to restructure and strengthen the sales organization and focus the product development, including the development of a digital technology platform as the primary element for a future stronger product portfolio."
To reduce expenses, the company will lay off up to an estimated 220 people, 90 of them in Denmark, following last October's layoff of 165 employees in Europe and the planned reduction of 135 more staff positions through attrition and leaving open positions unfilled.
In October the company said it would consolidate seven regional independent sales organizations into one unit. Before that announcement, the company posted two quarters of net losses and a worldwide sales decline of about 7 percent in the fiscal year, ended May 31, to around $707.4 million. The previous year, the company posted the highest sales in its 83-year history.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

I believe mtekk's post was that as of revision 11082, Its working as expected under trunk.
It works for me under current trunk.
Given the error message, I'd assume theres a plugin conflict; Or theres a corrupt file.
Trac is not for diagnosing individual problems, You're better off on the support forums, and re-opening this if you find any info which suggests it IS a bug in WP(Such as also occuring on a fresh WP Install without any modifications)

Same issue as #10160??
Seems a number of themes with a theme options page that uses get_categories fail
comment:7 ryan — 5 years ago
Technically, these themes are broken in 2.7.1 as well, but the problem won't be evident unless you're using a custom taxonomies plugin. Maybe we can init the default taxonomies right before loading the theme's functions.php to paper over the issue.
comment:8 Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
but in this case we'd lose the localization of the taxonomies. uploading a potential fix in a few minutes.
comment:9 ryan — 5 years ago
I added it after locale is setup. I think that will preserve localization.
comment:10 ryan — 5 years ago
However if someone manipulates the locale from functions.php, the taxonomies won't reflect that.
comment:11 Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
@ryan: yours works too, but doesn't fix #10160.
comment:12 Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
what I was thinking of is to disable the ability to override the default taxonomies.
Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
comment:13 Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
nm previous comment. second patch works around the problem by doing this twice:
- before plugins and themes are loaded
- on the init hook to enforce localization
comment:14 Denis-de-Bernardy — 5 years ago
- Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed
- Severity changed from major to critical
making this a blocker, as it's apparently critical to quite a few users.

Rather than be content with glowing alone, these add the fun of popping candy to the mix. Simply tear open the pouch, remove the lollipop, snap the glow stick to activate the light, lick the lollipop, dip it in the popping candy, lick the lollipop again, be thankful that these glow stick lollipops are part of your life, and repeat! It's that easy. Now get glowing!

I am curious to hear some ideas about new perks and weapons that should be inlcuded into Black Ops 2 Zombies. I'll share a few ideas to get this discussion started.
Supplier: A perk that increases the maximum amount of ammo you can hold for weapons and special grenades. Also, after each round you will receive an extra clip for each gun and an extra special grenade.
Camoflauge: A perk that when people have it they will be the last person or people targeted by zombies. I figured this would be extremely helpful for easter eggs and reviving teammates.
Deathray: This weapon incorporations two of my ideas. The first idea of this weapon is an awesome gun you get by completing an acheivement. The acheivement would require much team help and assistance and would be similar to easter egg acheivements. This idea comes from the Call of the Dead easter egg's reward. The other idea this gun includes is a new flamethrower like gun. I am sure I am not the only one who misses the flamethrower and this gun would be very similar. It would be a mix of the ray gun and flamethrower. It would shoot a ray that travels forever distance and is always instant-kill. The downside is as you use it it loses charge, quickly. As it loses charge it loses strength and distance. It charges up like the flamethrower cools down.
Well i think that it will be Ok.
At first I think that the maps need to be better because the black ops ones were sometimes boring.
Like Moon, this map disappointed me the trailer was awesome but the map wasn't good. It was boring, I think it better a map with a good history like Kino der Toten and Ascension.
Than come the weapons they were really good, but maybe you're right the game needs more weapons,new weapons specially for zombies not the same of multiplayer and a huge map. I think the perks were really, really good.
But your ideas are available too

My eyes are still heavy, forcing breath from my chest, my joints creek. As I turn to a man dressed in uniform in front of me, tall, tan, long face with a flat nose and one eye noticeably larger than the other stands in front of me, with one rolled up sleeve taps his wrist with his index finger and says,
"Sir, this is the last stop, I am going to have to ask you to go"
"Wait, what?"
"Yes sir that is correct, now you have to go"
I uncurl my limbs and stretch. This is the third time in the last month that I have done this. I but the train is the only time I can really feel comfortable enough to sleep these days, the screeching of the tracks the rumbling gently rocking me as I sit in the back of the cart is a comfortable change then the cold floor of my friends garage. In slow motion I stand with my head hanging down, too tired to look at the man, stumbling over my feet catching myself against the hand rail. I feel like I am caught between consciousness and delusions, but at this point the swirl together in my mind and mix making my vision hazy. Taking deep breaths become impossible as it is too congested to feel am getting my energy's worth of oxygen. Dragging my feet against the cement I make my way to the stairs with my hands buried in my pocket playing with change.
Walking up the stairs I tap each step with the front of my foot and begin to count, as it has become routine for me to know I am awake. I read somewhere that counting becomes impossible in dreams, so I just thought I should cover my bases. After twenty-three steps, I stand back now straight and head held. My bed is about fifteen miles away from where I am standing, more steps then I am willing to count I start to walk. I grab crumpled up dollars and to see how much money I have; a ten, three singles, two quarters and five pennies. This is not enough for a cab. Head held low I know which parts of the city are dangerous, and how to avoid getting mugged. Under the hum of the street lights I am caught by an unfamiliar smell in this part of the city that I haven't smelled before, soil and sage. Curious to where this is coming from I begin to speedily walk to the end of the block. Now taking in deep breaths I hold this smell in my chest, closing my eyes to an image of a garden, of sunlight, of a girl covered in pedals. I make a sharp turn of the running my shin into a wagon full of herbs, and proceed to fall flat on my face.
"Oh shit"
"Oh my goodness, are you alright"
"Y-yeah, I'm alright"
"I'm sorry"
"No really I'm fine"
I roll over and look up to a tall dirty blonde beauty wearing a sundress. Under the street light I can't make out any specific feature, but her outline illuminating brightly. Extending her hand I grab it and she pulls me up. She smiles with small thin lips, large wide blue eyes, and ears pointed forward on her round face with plump cheeks. Something about her ears made me want to brush my hands against them. Smiling now, she holds the wagon's handle with both hands in front of her, making her arms press together her midsized breasts. My head begins to dip slowly with my eyes fixed straight I begin to scan, her dress a light blue, laced with flowers and extending down just above her knees, smooth pale skin leading down to her tiny sneakered up feet. Quickly I jerk my head back up to make eye contact with her and smile looking at her hair braided tight down both sides of her head with ribbons at each end. I begin to feel a searing pain down my leg as red begins to pierce my pants.
"Oh my goodness, you are bleeding"
"Yeah, it's that time of the month"
With a look of concern she leans over and rolls up my pant leg. I am tempted to grab the top of her head with both my hands and run my fingers over her braids. The bright light from above reveals the soft tiny hairs all over her arms, and all I want to do is just brush up against them.
"Yeah, it doesn't look that bad. But I think we better get this bandaged up"
"Yeah, I know, I think, I should just, I don't know"
"Are you alright? You look really tired"
"No, I just need to get sleep"
"Okay, well I need to get these planted, my place isn't that far, and I kind of feel responsible for that leg."
"It's alright, I will just walk it off. You know like how the coaches always say."
"Hmm…..yeah I don't know if you're really tired or on something, but I'm kind of in a hurry so come on"
Spinning herself around once then to the left we begin to walk down the street one block. My leg begins to throb slightly as my try to limit the amount of pressure I put on it. After one block, I am only listening to my breathing in my head, watching her as she pulls her wagon. I hesitate to ask if I should help as she struggles to pull it.
"So exactly why are you pulling a wagon full of herbs"
"Well I'm moving these from my aunt's apartment uptown to my place because she is moving. I just got my garden set up and ready to start planting, so she suggested that I take her plants. Everything just kind of fell into place, so here I am."
"Interesting, at midnight?"
"Yeah well I just started at the animal shelter, and its right next to her apartment, and I just got off work, so it was convenient, well…you know, I don't want to have to make more trips if I don't really need to"
"Makes sense"
The block meets the park as we turn to the right and cross the street. My legs feel like they're on auto pilot at this point on foot in front of the other. Now my sock damp and sticky from the blood slowly dripping out of me like sap from a tree. I fix my attention to the one wagon wheel as it wobbles side to side with every bump. My hands swaying from side to side, thinking out the perfect measurement of movement to not be noticeable that I am trying not to be noticed as I swaying my arms from side to side, or was it up and down. I quickly start counting each footstep again. Focus on my breathing, grit my teeth as I follow behind her. Slowly my head begins to float down, now listening to her footsteps in front of me, I blink, then I blink again, my eyes are too dry. I begin to rub them, then my face. Suddenly an abrupt stop in front of a large iron gate, she stands hold keys in one hand and the wagon's handle in the other.
"Alright we are home"
Turning her head her smile is a flashbulb in my face, a jolt of energy shoots down my limbs and I straighten myself again.
"Alright well my neighbors are pretty big dorks so we need to be really quiet"
Turning the handle she slowly inches the gate open as it lets out a squeak with each forward movement. She creates just enough space for her to fit her wagon through, holding the gate open she waits for me. I tip toes through the gate as she slowly yields the gates progress to close before there is a small crash when it locks shut. The front yard dark and barren of any vegetation accept a tall cherry blossom bright with color even under the cloak of night. We follow the pavement hugging the wall of the building to the back, which is opened up with lush greenery. The feint smells of herbs and spices fill my nostrils reminding me of grandmothers home cooked meals during the holidays, fresh.
"Okay, I'll leave this right here. You," whispering softly fingers directed towards me, "come with me"
She reaches for my arm and grabs my wrist. Pulling me towards a red door on the right side of the building, we now stand in front of a red door, paint chipped at the corners and a rusted door knob. With no key she turns in and we enter a dark filled with boxes. With a flick of a switch we I see maze of boxes, and through a small crack I can see a bed to my left and to the right a fridge and sink. Navigating her way around she is precise in her movement like she is dancing to the left.
"Here, come here"
I slip through the boxes and past her bed to the bathroom. Medicine cabinet open she frantically searches for what she needs. Grabbing bandages and alcohol, in each hand now she taps the toilet seat with the lid down. From the door way I collapse down onto the seat as my legs are now numb and my body feels light. She rolls up my pant leg reaches for some toilet paper she wets it in the sink kneels back in front of me and begins to wipe away the sticky blood beginning to cake itself the open wound. Tossing away the stained toilet paper she begins to pull more, rolling it around her hand, she grabs the alcohol and begins to pour it on the toilet paper, then presses it against my leg. The stinging pain I should be feeling is being drowned out by my tiredness. Even though it stings I do not have the energy to respond with the proper whimper or plea for something less. She grabs the bandage and stretches it out across her body from arm to arm taking the left side she begins to wrap it around my leg, tight. After six or seven layers are wrapped she tears the end with her teeth, and then tucks it under the rest.
"There we are tough guy, now you shouldn't have to worry about an infection"
"Thank you nurse"
"Well this is my place by the way"
"Yeah I use to move around a lot before I lived here"
"Wait so how long have you lived here?"
"About eight months"
Rolling down my pant leg I stand and wait for her to stand as well, as she gathers the alcohol and bandages on the floor then rises. Hugging them close to her chest she turns around to put them back.
"Well, what are you going to do now?"
"I honestly don't know I was probably sleep on a bench somewhere close to the station until the trains start running again"
"Wait, why?"
With a concerned look on her face, as her brow looks like a tight rope, she pats the back of her head scratches her arm.
"Well I was suppose to get off at Grandview but fell asleep"
"Isn't that about pretty far away?"
Now her eyes flicker like fireflies, with a small hop forward she says,
"Well if you want, you can sleep here, I have a cot in the corner I can bring out."
"Yeah, I mean I don't want you sleeping on the streets"
"Wow, thanks"
Only answered back with a smile she rubs her nose and walks out of the bathroom. Following behind her she dances between the boxes to one corner. Ducking under she disappears for a second, emerging with a folded up cot in both hands and a smile. She lifts it above her head and begins to walk back round the boxes, the cot bobs around like a raft on soft waves. I begin to reach to grab it from her arms, she hands it off to me. I hold it in my arms pressed against my chest. She shoves one of the stacks of boxes away with her shoulder, creating a space large enough for the cot to lay down.
"Well, um….are you hungry?"
"A little bit, I haven't eaten since around five"
"Oh well, if you want I have some cheese ravioli in the fridge"
"That's sounds great"
"How much can you eat?"
"I don't know a lot I guess"
She maneuvers over to the fridge. Pulls out a Tupperware full of ravioli, places it on the counter, brushes her hand around her ear rests her weight on one leg tilting her hip to the left pointing to the fridge. Falling back onto the cot I untie my shoes and slide them off. Rolling my ankle around and wiggling my toes I unroll my socks of my feet and slide them into my shoes. Resting my head my knees I close my eyes and listen to the clicking of the stove, water hitting metal slowly being drown out sloshing back and forth. I hear her scratching herself, a pause then continuing to scratch before stopping. I tilt my head to my side ear resting against my forearm the sounds of her actions slowly begin to dull. I feel myself sliding back before almost falling forward I catch myself and am jerked back into consciousness again. Eyes wide open, I see the steam rise, as she shuffles around the other side of the room.
"Alright, it's done"
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Sure I'll just have some water, please"
"Oh, you sure you don't want any wine, you are not going to make me look like an alcoholic are you"
"Okay, I just didn't know it was an option"
"Well it is, and you getting a glass"
With a soft angelic laugh followed by a short sigh. She grabs two plastic cups from the sink and shakes them down into the sink as small drops hit the sides making small pings. I stand up and make my way to her around one stack of boxes to meet her at the counters leaning up to the one next to her. She rubs her nose again and looks to me and smiles. Water now boiling over spilling over the stove, she quickly reaches to turn off the heat. Then opening the drawer to her fishes through and grabs a large spoon. Stirring the pot she grabs the ravioli with the spoon and tilts it to the side to separate it from the water, reaching back into the sink she pulls back two red bowls and dumps the ravioli into them. Once the pot is empty she places it into the sink. Fishing around back into the drawer to her right she takes out two forks.
Handing me a bowl and fork,
"You said you were hungry right?"
I smile back and stab one of the ravioli with my fork lift it to my mouth and take a deep breath to the smell of parmesan cheese before popping it into my mouth. Warm and chewy as I mash it between my teeth, I can feel the grains from the cheese roll against my tongue as it slowly melts and slides to the back of my throat. Again sifting through the drawer to her right she pulls out a cork screw and places it on the counter. Opens the fridge door she pulls out a bottle of red wine. Holding the bottle's neck in one hand she picks up the cork screw with the other, she stabs the top then begins to twist into the cork. With one thrust she pulls out the cork. With lips stretched across her face she now fills up each glass just below the rim. Ravioli finished in my bowl I place it back into the sink, not realizing she has yet to eat any of hers, I shove my hands into my pockets not knowing what to do with them and begin to play with the change in my pocket.
"Well I guess you were really hungry"
"Yeah I guess, I kind of just zoned out a little bit"
"It's ok"
Handing me one cup she holds hers and begins to take sips. I take a sip, as I am not accustomed to drinking wine, I swirl it around in my mouth and taste grit, berries, and the way dirt smells. I try to not make a face, as I scrunch my face to exaggerate a smile. Her face reflects mine with an exaggerated smile as well, as she swishes her cup around in circles.
"So tell me again why you haven't unpacked"
"It's just a lot easier I mean, I basically use them as my dresser, and I always have a place for everything"
"Oh, that's cool"
"Yeah I mean, I just think right now I'm just too busy, and with my free time I would rather be doing something else, and it's not a problem"
"Yeah, I totally understand. I when I first walked in I thought it was a storage closet or something"
"Yeah my mom hates it," taking another sip from her cup, "hey, do you want to see the roof, it looks really nice at night up there"
With a big swig now she licks her lips and wipes it on her forearm. Almost done, I take one last gulp to finish off the rest.
She grabs the cup out of my hand and puts it back into the sink, then with a tap on my shoulder she begins to walk back around the boxes back towards a door next to the bathroom. She opens the door to a stairway, she holds it open for me and I walk through. Behind me now she closes the door, giggling the handle to ensure it is still open. Once satisfied she wakes walks past me up the stairs. Counting each step and watching as her dress slowly began to rise up with each hop up each step, I become fixed on a bow in the center of her back. After we climb past the fifth flight of stairs we stand in front of the door to the roof. Swinging it open we are met with a clear night sky with the stars luminous. Scattered around the roof are balls, a small kiddy pool and a hammock.
"Stay-cation much?"
She giggles, mouth curled inward she and squints her eyes,
"Yeah I usually sleep out here, before I lived near the beach and always left my windows open"
"That is great, I love it"
"Well if you think the cot is uncomfortable you can always use the hammock it's really comfy"
"I might just do that, thanks"
With a smile content and free spirited she tilts he head slightly and walks towards the edge elbows locked and leans against it. From here back the wind slowly bounces her braids against her. Her dress flapping like sails, legs crossed at the ankles like fingers of a child. I walk next to her as her head is pointed away looking over the park, sit on the edge lean forward fingers locked against the side. She looks back with eyes pink and dry, as tears slowly begin to roll down her cheek. Was this the air, or was this emotion, I didn't want to assume anything. I was too tired for anything at this point. I raised my cheeks to smile with my eyes. She raised her left and rubbed her eyes before tears could escape further and smiled now sniffling.
"You alright"
"Yeah, it's just my contacts, I get really dry eyes"
"Oh, okay"
I could not tell if she was telling the truth, in an awkward attempt to learn more I reached for her with my right, rested it on her shoulder then quickly pulled away. The gesture was not noticed as she turned away once again to over look the park. The breeze was warm, as it moved past me like soft fingertips against me, calm. Taking in deep breaths of air, holding it for a few seconds before exhaling out pretending I am jump starting my organs like a car.
"This feels really nice right now"
"Yeah, I haven't done this in awhile"
I slump forward and stand, walk towards the hammock past the small kiddy pool lying on top of a small layer of sand. I notice a small scuba diver calmly sitting at the bottom of the shallow pool. I begin to push the hammock back and forth gently, imagining that it's a crib, on a small island, with the ocean and the wind slowly putting a baby to sleep. I liked that. She walks towards me with her red sneakers, reminds me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, braided hair red shoes and small dress except she was missing her small dog.
"Here, it's easier if we both get in at once"
On the opposite side of the hammock she holds the edge, I mirroring her actions, then positions 'sideways parallel to the hammock. She raises one leg the rolls into the hammock and I doing the same at moments later, causing us to roll to the center.
"Perfect execution"
"I am a pretty good teacher"
Swinging side to side like a metronome we star up at the stars, getting lost in the ocean of night sky. My arm pressed against hers I readjust to position it under her neck as she raises her head to allow me to do so, then bending it to cup her shoulder.
"How's your leg"
I raise my leg straight up, and tug on my pant leg tightly bandaged.
"I think I'll survive"
Now readjusting to fit more comfortably she tilts her body to better contour herself against mine, resting her head against my shoulder arms wrapped in front of her she lets breaths deeply slowly exhales, reminding me of waves crashing against the shores. If a beaten up leg is the price I pay for being right here right now, then I would gladly slam the other against another wagon to do be where I am. Slowly I close my eyes and let the image of the crib and the baby being rocked quietly creeps back into my head. Her and now resting on my chest, we are just being ourselves at this moment. I now lean my head over pressing my cheek against the top of her head. She pulls away in slight discomfort as her braid tugs on her whole head. She its up and begins to untie her ribbons, and unravel her braids, then runs her fingers through her hair the now goes past her shoulders. She lets go of the ribbon as it slowly floats down the floor she floats down to my side once again, now her shoulder pressed under my arm pit. She tilts her head so her eyes meet mine, and smiles.
"I think this is perfect right now"
"Me too"
As we gaze up at the stars we see the half the moon up above and imagine we are the two halves, like the moon being held by the cloud, we are being held by this roof top hammock. I take in deep breaths of her and hold them in, her hair smelling of the rosemary, then exhaling slowly as to not move her from my side. Resting my hand against her back I begin to play with her ribbon in the center of her dress. She begins to rub her leg up against mine. The hammock begins to lightly tremble back and forth as she does so. She begins to lower her hand and play with the button on the front of my pants, flicking it with her index finger and thumb, back and forth. My eyes begin to feel heavy again as the slow wind passes. I imagine waves slowly rushing over me, sinking under. Resting at my side I feel her warm breath into my chest, hair draped over my shoulder, fabric of her sundress tickling my side.
"I'm getting a little cold. Do you want to go back inside?"
Slowly we begin roll from opposite sides when she is tumbles to the side as I sit on the edge ready to stand. Quickly I grab her before she falls to the floor. Look at her in the eyes cradled in my arms and slowly dip her to her feet. We share a moment of silence, holding her in my arms like something fragile. Now standing she grabs my wrist and we make the trip back down to her room. Once there, she guides me to her bed side and we sit quietly, waiting for a sign or an invitation for our next action.
"I didn't know if I wanted to do this at first. But after lying with you on the hammock, I think I'm ok"
"That's pretty straight forward of you"
"I mean, it takes five seconds for a girl to know if she would sleep with a guy or not, but that doesn't mean we will, but we are open to the possibility of doing it"
"Oh, yeah well for guys it's…"
"Yeah well you don't have to tell me"
"No, I mean you seem like a very genuine person, and I really admire your honesty. And well this is going to sound weird, but your ears"
"My ears, what about them"
"I mean, they look really cute, the way they stick out"
She giggles, with an open face smile,
"Well thanks, I guess"
I smile back. Slowly our smiles begin to fade away and her eyes become fixed on my lips. She licks her bottom lip slowly dragging it in before pressing it down with her teeth as if she wanted to do the same to mine. I begin to lean in, tilt my head to the left as she begins to lean in head tilted as well, My eyes begin to close as it presses against her lips moving against each other, passing air between like we need it to survive. I tangle my hand in her hair trying to hold her head, as she places her hand against mine, sliding it slowly down to the center of her chest before letting it fall into her lap. Sliding tongues against one another her hand presses my face towards hers heavy, noses smashed together we fall like leaves to the bed. She grabs my hand and guides it under her dress, wedging it in between slowly lifting it off of her. She is soft and smooth. I graze my hand across it to feel the small fuzz of her body like a peach. She slides her hand under my shirt and begins to rub my chest with her soft hands like a metal detector she searches for value. Slowly reaching down my side to the small of my back she holds me and pauses. Lifts her head from him and smiles, hair hanging down as curtains I lift my hand to wrap them around her ears. Her body shivers with delight.
"Here I'll be right back, wait right here"
She gets up, walks to the bathroom, returning with a small plastic square.
"Here put this on"
While I unwrap the condom as she helps me out of my pants. Once out she snatches the condom, hand now wrapped around me she begins to stroke, slowly giving way to pure pleasure and I swell. Now erect she slides the condom down from the tip to the base and shimmies out of her silk thong to a smooth surface. She crawls on top resting lightly over me, and begins to gently grind into me, her soft lips caressing me. She raises her hips to put me inside of her my pressing in deep, she exhales with excitement. The slick surface of her inside clinching tight around me causes my legs to twitch uncontrollably. She falls on top of me grabbing her bed sheet as I roll on top of her wrapping our bodies in a cocoon to transform. Now trusting in like a piston we slowly inch our way up to the middle of her bed, cupping her shoulders so she does not leave me she holds the back of my neck so I do not leave her site. With heavy breath I take her in again for as long as I could as I my body crashes against her shores again and again, though her body will not change or erode, inside I chip away at the tether holding down the chemicals to make her body tingle, to become pure energy. Holding me tight he eyes closed tight, for this pleasure is too enjoyable for her to share, my hips locked with hers we begin to shake. No more words from me or her as we the only language we speak is one that can only be understood by performing this ritual. Now almost to the point of climax I pause, she opens her eyes, and before I can continue, the rush of electricity shoots out of me, her hair smells too good, this bed is too soft, but this room is far too small.
The sweat running down my face is the only proof I have right now, that I felt more alive than I have in awhile. My left arm collapses under my weight, as I roll to her side, and shudder. Her body is swollen. There was a fire burning inside, as she sent smoke signals out her mouth, only gibberish, but I felt like I know what she was getting at. Heavy breaths and fast beating hearts, our connection slowly began to fade as I lied beside her. Her eyes began to close. My eyes have never been wider, as I look to the sealing and watch as the ceiling began to fade deeper into night. I knew I could stay, but for some reason all I wanted to do was run. Too tired for action I only curled up beside her to feel her insides quiver at me touch still too sensitive. It must be about three in the morning now, how do I know that I have not been loved right, in months.

One of our favorite old "standby" dinners at our house is Chicken Cordon Bleu. It sounds fancy, but it's nothing more than chicken, ham and cheese that's layered, folded up and baked.
Our kids grew up loving this dish.
I served this family favorite of ours to Elke and Wolfgang Karsten, a German couple with two young daughters, who lived across the street from us in New York. Right away, Chicken Cordon Bleu became a favorite in their house, too. We were neighbors for less than two years before they moved back to Germany.
Their older daughter, Christiane, came back to visit us in July 1985. She and our daughter, Whitney, who were close in age, had a great time together. I made sure to fix Chicken Cordon Bleu for Christiane so she would feel at home, which she did.
During her visit, I introduced Christiane to another of our dinner favorites called "Clean Out the Refrigerator Night." This was an opportunity to get rid of all of those little half dishes of leftover things (hopefully without mold on them!) clogging up your refrigerator shelves. You'd end up with lots of mismatched meats and vegetables but nobody seemed to care.
Basically, it's a gastronomic free-for-all.
On these nights I'd lay everything out on the counter and everybody got to choose what they wanted. Whoever came first to dinner got to be first in line. No one was ever late to dinner on those nights!
This concept was a real novelty for Christiane, who had never heard of such a thing. When she returned home she asked to have a "Clean Out the Refrigerator Night." I don't think this translates into German very well. Elke had no clue.
In the summer of 1987, our son, Blake, who was 14 at the time, visited the Karstens in Germany. He had a great time while he was there, experiencing lots of new people, places, and things. Elke made Chicken Cordon Bleu for him one night so he would feel at home, which he did.
It turns out that Chicken Cordon Bleu was the common denominator that made two kids far away from their families feel right at home. It'll make you feel good too. Try it and see. Your family will love it, and the leftovers will be a big hit at your next "Clean Out the Refrigerator Night."
Joy Smith of Fort Mill has many recipes – and the stories behind them – to share.

"I Had 2 - 5 Ton Units Installed"
I had 2 - 5 ton units installed in a new home I built in Eater Okla. What a mistake! I have had the installer out 5 times so far in less than a year to make repairs. A lot of junk, is my opinion of Armstrong.

"Has not Met Expectations"
Has not met expectations as an efficient unit, only 5 + years old and the outside coil is leaking and must be replaced. Part to be replaced is warranty covered but labor cost is as much as new unit. Company I bought heat pump from, no longer carries this brand. Would not purchase again!!!!

"Hate My Heat Pump"
Our 15-year-old heat pump died at the same time that my husband found out he was losing his job (February 2008). Our heating repair guy talked us into getting the Armstrong system, which was cheaper and less energy efficient than other brands ("the higher efficiency is so much more expensive that it would take you years to recoup the cost). After 2 years, the compressor went bad and cost $620 to repair. Last month's electric bill was $358, which starting me watching the heating system. Now it quit working again - repairman comes out tomorrow to look at it. Definitely a lemon. I'm ready to scrap it and get a better, high efficiency brand.

"5 tons of junk"
Had two units installed when I built my house in 2004 by a shady hvac man (wont mention any names Total Comfort Heating and Air). A 3 ton upstairs and a 5 ton down stairs. I had to spend over $5000 in 06' and had the 3 ton hunk of junk yanked out and a Lennox installed. No problems, I have had to get the fan capacitor? Replaced three times on the 5 ton. Now the compressor has gone out and of course warranty is expired, but because it is a r22 the new installer wants to pull out entire system and install a Lennox that is 410a. Costs $5600. I spent $10k on hvac when I built my house. I will be out over $20k when all said and done on hvac. Somebody needs to be sued! Thanks Armstrong for bending me over dry!

"We Purchased Our Home in 2009"
We purchased our home in 2009, a new home just built. We have had nothing but trouble out of the heat-pump unit. The fist year we had to replace a relay board for the heater. This year the Air Conditioner went out. I was told they had to order a valve to fix that problem. The unit is only 3 years old. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

"Made in USA? Buy quality, don't waste money"
When I was Deployed as a Gunny US Marines, my wife had a new unit put in. Armstrong air. Forced air propane furnace with A/C combo. I had it serviced regular but it has broken down EVER YEAR just about. The first year the condensor fan quit. Pay for a Trane, Lennox, or Carrier. It will save you in the long run. The part that hurts the worst is it was supposed to be made in the USA. Ohio. Whatever happened to Union pride and craftsmanship? I am getting a new unit. A quality one.

"Nothing but problems and repairs."
I purchased an Armstrong Heat Pump on 1-7-2005. On 3-7-2008, the compressor went out and even though it was replaced under warranty, it still cost me $1128.85 to also replace the fan motor, run capacitor and recharge the freon. On 2-12-2010, I had to spend another $969.81 to replace an expansion valve. Again on 3-5-2010, I had to spend another $676.00 to replace another condensor fan motor. Then on 2-28-2011, I had to spend another $700 in repairs. I have never been so disappointed and disgusted with this whole situation. I will never purchase another Armstrong product and I strongly recommend that you don't either.

The Shepherds Bush Empire is no easy place to play solo. The gaping maw of the auditorium must be daunting for even the most seasoned pro and bands of any number. So kudos goes to both performers this evening for having the cahones to face up to this alone.
Husky, tousled and bescarfed support Jack Savoretti, only slightly showing his nerves, provides a soundtrack of lilting and earnest acoustic numbers that greet the punters. While he seems to be somewhat thrown by the hushed tones between tracks, this is probably a trick of the acoustics as the audience there to witness his set seem pretty grateful to be rewarded for turning up early by a more than half decent support.
There is no danger that Shawn Colvin is going to be concerned about a lack of appreciation. Decked in a shiny plastic patterned halter-neck, blue jeans and platforms, she looks every bit the part of a Midwestern trailer mom casually strolling onstage with just an acoustic guitar. But this unassuming demeanour disguises one of the finest singer-songwriters, which the audience, in appreciative applause before she even plays a chord, knows only too well.
Opening with one of the less popular numbers from her largely forgotten covers album might not be the most auspicious start, but she follows this up with two songs from last year's These Four Walls. Excellent on record, 'Fill Me Up' and the title track are even more poignant live, stripped of any production, the quality of Colvin's voice and poetry resonating loud.
Having spent a long time touring live and playing the New York folk scene before making a record, Colvin is completely at ease despite her assertion that this is her largest ever London gig. Apologising if the set recapitulates a Union Chapel show from the back end of last year she says that she can't remember what she played, to which an audience member calls back that "neither can we", without pausing for breath she retorts "We're the same age then".
Culling a set from throughout her career, Colvin has wide-ranging and nuanced perspectives on life, loves and relationships, from the fatalistic 'Trouble', which fizzes with venom, to the mournful, glacial and soaring 'Shotgun Down The Avalanche'. Colvin's lyrics are deceptively sharp, and coupled here with the raw immediacy of her live vocals, which effortlessly switch from piercing soprano shaking the cornices of the domed ceiling to a desert parched scratch on demand, she entrances the audience before drawing us back from adulatory rapture with between-track quips.
The glorious lovesong 'Polaroids', a list of images making a flickbook animation of a relationship and the triumphant tale of escape that is 'Sunny Came Home' elicit two of the greatest rounds of applause of the night. But even lesser known tracks are delivered with such poise that at the end of 16 songs the standing ovation is heartfelt and well deserved.
Returning for an encore of mostly covers, we are treated to an 'ad hoc' version of Neil Young's 'Birds' inspired by it being played before Colvin came onstage. A reworking of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' could be embarrassing for someone of Colvin's maturity, but she manages to breathe new life into a song played to death. And 'Killing The Blues', a standard in her live set for many years now, totally floored this reviewer.
For all her Grammys and critical acclaim, it is near criminal that Colvin is not better known and better respected by the public. Anyone who can, without pretence and so confidently, hold such a masterclass in performance deserves to be much much more highly regarded.

for your toddler: Serve the dip with tender raw vegetables like pea pods and cucumber halves or slightly steamed sugar snap peas, carrot sticks, and broccoli florets.
nutrition note: peanut butter facts
Whether spread on a piece of whole-grain bread or an apple slice, peanut butter makes a satisfying meal or snack in a matter of minutes. Part of the reason it's so satisfying is because each tablespoon of peanut butter contains about 4 grams of protein and 8 grams of fat, most of which is heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. When buying peanut butter, be sure to choose one labeled "natural" to avoid the trans-fatty acids that come from partially hydrogenated oils, which can increase the LDL, or bad cholesterol, levels in your body. Another bonusnatural peanut butter has much less added sugar and salt.

Jamshedpur - the Industrial City a modern & cosmopolitan clean city... Jamshedpur is the most important business and industrial city in the state of Jharkhand. The city was founded by the late Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata. Located in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand on the Chota Nagpur plateau, Jamshedpur is a well maintained city. It is bordered by two rivers - namely, Subarnarekha and Kharkai and surrounded by the Dalma Hills. Jamshedpur, as the burgeoning township was named in 1919 in tribute to Tata Steel's Founder, is India's first planned industrial city. It is a model for the harmonious co-existence of industry and environment. Acres of vacant parks and gardens dot the city and provide bucolic sanctuaries from the pressures of everyday life. With quality power and water services made available to the residents and industrial units of Jamshedpur by JUSCO - a Tata Subsidiary, the city is well equipped to provide modern infrastructure to business and industry. The city has a modern railway station and is well connected by rail and road to all important towns and cities of India.

As the concrete collides well, the scenery grows
And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed
They undressed their wounds for each other
And there is a boy in a basement with a four track machine
He's been strumming and screaming all night down there
The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings
They say it's better to bury your sadness
In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring
To awake from its sleep and burst into green
Well, I cried
And you would think I would better for it
But the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine
For the rest of my life
And I've learned
And you'd think I'd be somethin' more now
But it just goes to show it is not what you know
It's what you were thinking of half the time
This feeling's familiar
I've been here before
In a kitchen this quiet, I waited for
A sign of just something that might reassure me of anything close
To meaning or motion with reasons to move
I need something I want to be close to
And I scream but I still don't know why I do it
Because the sound never stays it just swells and decays
So what is the point?
Why try to fight what is now so certain?
The truth is all that is a passing event that will be forgotten

'How I Met Your Mother': Executive producer Craig Thomas previews Barney's father
Who's your daddy? For Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) on "How I Met Your Mother," it turns out to be John Lithgow! After years of thinking Bob Barker was his father and even refusing to believe Ben Vereen wasn't his father, Barney will finally meet his dad in Monday night's episode, appropriately titled "Legendaddy." But papa Stinson might not be exactly what Barney imagines. Recently, the show's executive producer, Craig Thomas, chatted with Showtracker about one of the show's biggest mystery, casting the mysterious father figure and what meeting his father means for Barney's future and his romantic relationships.
Marshall's father dying has set off all these chain-reaction stories, one of which is Barney looking for his father on Monday's episode. Is there like a particular reason why he seeks him out?
We sort of wanted to turn the tables a little bit and make it not that Barney was seeking him out in this episode but that Barney had a missile in the air in the form of a letter that he sent to his dad. He got his dad's address. In the episode called "Oh Honey" this year, he says to Katy Perry in this scene that he sent a letter and never heard back from his dad. So we kind of planted that in Episode 15 of this season. There's kind of this boomerang that Barney threw out there that's going to come back to him in the form of John Lithgow in Monday night's episode. It sort of comes out of nowhere and takes Barney by surprise. He'd started to give up on it a little. So it's really not so much the hunt as it is ... oh my God, my dad's standing right in front of me. It's kind of a great, shocking moment that kicks off the episode, and it takes off from there.

By: Scott email@example.com you remember having a male teacher in elementary school? Odds are you can't - and if you can, you probably didn't have very many of them. Right now, only one out of every five elementary school teachers are men, but local teachers are trying to change that.
Macguire Hartmann–Hodges is a fifth grader at Spalding Park Elementary in Sioux City. He says he hasn't always enjoyed going to school, in large part because he has ADHD and dyslexia. But now, things have changed thanks to his teacher Mr. Jason Warren.
Now, Macguire says he wants to follow in his footsteps. "I want to be a teacher, but I want to be an art teacher. He is also my first male teacher. I just like how Mr. Warren teaches us. He just explains it better than most people can."
Experts say nationally that boys lag behind girls academically. And some think adding more male role models in the mix could help. Mr. Warren says, "With the classes being, you know, roughly half male and half female, I think it's good to have someone they can point to and say I want to be like that person or that person's doing this right so I can follow that example and follow that lead."
Mr. Warren says it's extremely rewarding to see students succeed. "Sometimes that potential, you know, it's at the forefront. The kid knows what they can do and the parent knows what they're capable of. Sometimes not so much. Sometimes it's in a dormant state and you have to kind of get it out of them."

Larry Brown Sports:
Tim Tebow is nothing if not a family man. The New York Jets quarterback has openly state on numerous occasions that family and faith come before football. That's the main reason we laugh at the prospect of him being interested in people like Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian. It just would never happen, but the same cannot be said for the lovely actress he has reportedly been dating for several months.
According to In Touch (via the NY Post), Tebow has brought his new girlfriend Camilla Belle home to his parents already and the Tebows approve.
"His mom, Pam, likes that Camilla comes from a strict Catholic family, and loves that she does so much work with a children's charity," a source reportedly told the gossip magazine. "Pam thinks Camilla could be the girl Tim has been waiting for!"

In early 1947, Austin Bradford Hill suggested that Richard Doll, who was then a smoker, should be recruited to work on a study of smoking and lung cancer. He described Doll as "a very good worker to whom it is well worth while giving a wider experience of medical statistical work with an eye to the future."1
In 1950 Doll and Hill published their initial findings in the BMJ (delayed for a year by faint hearts at the Medical Research Council),1 2 and Doll went on to become the tobacco colossus. Others had, as he often acknowledged, published important work. In a linked study (doi:10.1136/bmj.e7093), Sakata and colleagues examine the impact of smoking on overall mortality and life expectancy in Japan using data from a large population based cohort recruited in the same year as the first Doll and Hill publication.3
Countless scientific papers and reports on the many harms of smoking were published in the decades after 1950. In 1962, a BMJ editorial observed that "the causative link between cigarettes and lung cancer is undeniable, and no amount of …
