Junior Seau's Suicide, Truly SadThe timing of death due to suicide is never right, but Junior Seau's apparent suide couldn't be worse timing for an NFL that's trying to seem like it has control over excessive concussions due to extremely brutal hits. The reality is that the NFL's concussion policy is relatively young. The NFL started doing research on concussions in the early 1990s and in-depth research about a decade later. Former players are now donating their brains for scientific research after they die, so scientists can get a larger sample size to research and a better understanding of what's happening to them during and after their playing careers. Dave Duerson, a former player and suicide victim, shot himself in the chest so that his brain would remain intact for scientists to study. The results of that research has led to a better understanding of CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain condition due to head trauma; something many football players are suceptable to on a daily basis. Do not be suprised to see great, radical changes in the way football will be played in the coming years. Getting rid of the kickoff, quaterbacks being protected even more than they already are and doing away with some of the protective gear that is used more for bashing someone's head in than it is to protect. I am not a medical expert, but Ali Mohamadi of sbnation.com is and he wrote a fantastic article on Seau's death. He also gives an informative and comprehensive look at CTE. I highly recommend this article. Let me know what you think. www.sbnation.com/nfl/2012/5/3/2995317/junior-seau-suicide-traumatic-brain-injury-cte Here's another nicely written article by usnews.com's Susan Milligan. She brings up some interesting questions and hits on some good points in regard to the NFL's future. I like this article because she isn't a writer from the sports world, yet offers an interesting perspective. Have a read, I think you'll find it interesting as well. I am intrigued in your views and comments on this issue. Please let me know your thoughts on the matter. Send emails to email@example.com. |

The City Council tonight is being presented with a $1 million plan from the Dyster administration to implement a "citywide parking system."
Under the proposal, recommended by Desman Associates, a firm hired by the city to study the issue, the city would buy new equipment for the ramp in the former Rainbow Centre and city-run parking lots, as well as "pay-and-display" equipment for on-street parking.
The Dyster administration is proposing to use funds from the city's share of slot-machine revenue from Seneca Niagara Casino.

Despite video games' ever-rising popularity, there are still a fair number of nutballs out there who ruin it for everyone. They are the people who can ruin even the best video games by being too dedicated or too angry or too mean. They are the people who make you cringe whenever you visit a lovely video game website such as UGO or its corporate affiliates. They are the people who make you embarrassed to be a gamer.
But how do you know if you're one of them?

Thorne is a re-tread who has lost his guts and forgotten where he came from, Pentin has no clue - "pension reform" is his answer to every question, and Brown is unqualified - she has no idea how a city operates.

WOW, so you support DeMarcus who seems to be missing from this campaign and Kook-Kallio the union lover? Interesting. . . !!
on Oct 31, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Dear Rick;
I am willing to bet you are a city union employee pushing the union puppet candidates to Pleasanton voters. Are you the personal that dropped a stack of democratic postcards on my doorstep? They are in the garbage now.
I think it is unfair (and Hosterman should pay for it out of her own pocket) that city employees get million dollar retirement programs at the cost of hardworking taxpayers. I am sure as a union employees you cherish Cook-Kallio and DeMarcus, but there is NO way I am voting for either of them! My wife and I work to hard to support our family, to also support million dollar pensions for city employees that enjoy a desk job and a 40 hour work week - NO WAY.
on Oct 31, 2012 at 6:27 pm
RightO. Rick is like a flashing red neon light...pure union...doesn't have a care in the world...we've taken care of it all for him. Obviously, he doesn't have any other issue or care about Pleasanton's BIG picture....just his personal greed.
Most of them have been pretty good and careful during this campaign to not piss off the voters. But, Rick slipped a bit on his manners and campaign tactics.shame, shame
NO on 30, NO on 38 and a big
YES on 32 !!

About Linaro
The paragraphs below and the links on the left should give you access to all you need to know about Linaro. Alternatively, take a look at our latest introductory presentation. If you have any questions that remain unanswered, please contact Steve Taylor at email@example.com.
What does Linaro do?
Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 200 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces.
To ensure commercial quality software, Linaro's work includes comprehensive test and validation on member hardware platforms. The full scope of Linaro's engineering work is open to all online. Open engineering has been practised from the start at Linaro with plans, specifications and progress available for inspection on the developer Wiki. Linaro is distribution neutral: it wants to provide the best software foundations to everyone, and to reduce non-differentiating and costly low level fragmentation.
The value of Linaro
Linaro's key value is in working on generic ARM technology that is common to all ARM SoC vendors. In this way engineering costs are shared, rather than each vendor having to implement core software technology themselves, which has resulted in fragmentation and overhead in maintaining code that cannot be upstreamed to the mainline Linux kernel and other open source projects. Linaro's output is used by its members, and by distributions including Android, Ubuntu and OEM/ODM customized versions of Linux. In addition to sharing development costs, Linaro reduces the cost of maintenance for members with its focus on upstreaming into key open source projects including GCC and Kernel.org, and the implementation of standards, such as DeviceTree, which reduce the amount of work involved in bringing up multiple platforms.
Linaro and its members
Linaro was established in June 2010 by founding members ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and Texas instruments (TI). Members provide engineering resources and funding. Linaro's goals are to deliver value to its members through enabling their engineering teams to focus on differentiation and product delivery, and to reduce time to market for OEM/ODMs delivering open source based products using ARM technology.
The Linaro organization
The direction of Linaro is determined by its board of directors, formed from representatives of member companies and the CEO of Linaro. Execution of long-term objectives and delivery of nearer term development roadmaps is assigned to the Linaro management team and Technical Steering Committee (TSC). The TSC includes senior engineers from each of the Linaro member companies plus Linaro's CTO and VP of engineering. Under the management team and TSC, Linaro's engineering team is split in to working groups, platform engineering and landing teams. The Meet the Team page introduces the members of all the teams and the structure of the working groups, platform engineering and landing teams is introduced on the Engineering pages.
How Linaro differs from Android, Ubuntu, the Linux Foundation and others
Linaro is not a Linux distribution. The organization provides great software and tools for distributions to pull from (including OEMs who want to develop an in-house Linux). Linaro's aim is to provide a common software and tools foundation for the industry to use - making it easier and quicker to develop Linux-based products. Linaro's software focus is on areas that interact directly with the silicon such as multimedia, graphics, power management, kernel and boot. Distributions such as Android, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Tizen and Ubuntu provide the full user experience whereas Linaro enhances the upstream projects directly and provides useful components to any downstream distributions that wish to leverage the work done by Linaro.
Linaro supports organizations like the Linux Foundation, which aim to promote, protect and enhance the use of Linux across a broad range of platforms, but it is focused on solving engineering challenges and making it easier to use Linux on devices based on the ARM architecture and, in particular, on ARM Cortex processors.
How to get involved
There are many ways for organizations and individuals to contribute to Linaro's work. For ARM licensees, SoC providers, commercial distributions and leading commercial Linux organizations, membership allows companies to sponsor and direct Linaro's activities. For other organizations involved in Linux development, including OEMs, ODMs, technology providers, software integrators and providers, and carriers and service providers, the Linaro Partner program provides a means to contribute engineering resource and work closely with the Linaro engineering team. For individuals, Linaro is a vibrant community with many ways to contribute, there is an overview of these under Engineering: Getting Started.

The UCLA Bunche Center for African American Studies presents Daniel Widener discussing labor organizing in LA.
Friday, February 02, 200712:00 PM - 1:00 PM135 Haines HallUCLA campusLos Angeles, CA 90095
Over the course of the last decade, the city of Los Angeles has emerged as arguably the most progressive of American metropolitan areas. A resurgent labor movement, largely driven by immigrant labor, multiple interethnic musical avant-gardes, and a searching, if inchoate, left drawn from the nonprofit sector comprise the core elements of this formation.
The talk will focus on the place of African Americans within the larger social democratic imaginary of contemporary Los Angeles by examining the intersections and contradictions of racial and class-based politics for black Angelenos.
Daniel Widener is Assistant Professor of History, University of California, San Diego and IAC Postdoctoral Fellow, The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA.--This presentation is part of the Bunche Center Circle of Thought Lecture Series.
Bunche Center for African American Studies Circle of Thought (Brown Bag Lunch Series) -- Winter Quarter 2007
All events will take place in the Library and Media Center, Haines Hall 135, unless otherwise noted.
Cost : Free and open to the public; parking is available for $8.

AC/DC's iTunes boycott is on Highway to Hell
AC/DC, the iconic Australian rock band, has been talking to reporters as part of the promotion of its upcoming album. The group has also used the opportunity to take swipes at Apple.
The band refuses to offer music at iTunes because it isn't interested in selling individual songs. The only places to acquire the album, Black Ice, is at Wal-Mart Stores or on the band's Web site. In an interview with Reuters, lead singer Brian Johnson said the band is trying to protect the album format.

Doritos, the tortilla corn crisp brand owned by PepsiCo, has launched a new online campaign to engage users with an interactive website, user generated content and strong links to social networking sites.
Historically, FMCG brands have been slow to embrace online marketing as they have struggled to deliver a compelling creative message and measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

Chris Shimojima was brought in to steer the online business of Nike in 2006 – a position in which he oversees the direct-to-consumer digital sales of Nike and its sister brands, such as Converse and Hurley.
He recently spoke at ChannelAdvisor's Catalyst event about how the company was generating business online through its Nike+ community and Nike iD, its system that allows shoppers to create customised trainers online and in store.
After his speech, we asked Chris a few questions about Nike's e-commerce strategy, internal structure and future social media plans. And why its website is 100% Flash.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Along with Lafite Rothschild, Ausone, and l'Eglise Clinet, Pavie is one of the wines of the vintage. An inky/purple color is accompanied by notes of creme de cassis, kirsch, graphite, and toast. A massive wine for the vintage, the 2007 Pavie is very full-bodied with extraordinary intensity, power,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Opaque black-ruby. More brooding aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice and smoky oak, plus stony and mineral nuances; slight hint of exotic fruits ... with penetrating flavor and terrific vivacity. A floral note and a suggestion of chalky terroir contribute to the wine complexity. Finishes with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Initially the wine is all firm tannins, but then there is a pure line of fresh black fruits that comes through, with cranberry tannins and blackberry jamminess. Above it all, is succulent richness and clear acidity. A beautifully shaped wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Pavie, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is cropped low as the viticultural work is impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... this wine has beautiful purity, medium to full body, relatively high but sweet tannin, and a long 30-35 second finish ..." (January 2003)
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Château Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits, delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very little wine is produced (about 400 cases) from this tiny 5-acre vineyard, but it is always among the most concentrated and richest of Bordeaux. The inky/purple-colored 2007 offers sweet cassis fruit notes interwoven with notions of graphite, chalk dust, and toast. Full-bodied with terrific..

Early DotA Battleground footage revealed
Initial observations would be that it's definitely a large battleground, which is to be expected, possibly indicating that it could be for more than 10 players. Given that all the recent battleground additions have been 10-player, this would be welcomed. This overview map defined by Leviathon indicates the same, it's definitely a decent-sized map. There appear to be two defined areas, and lots of bridges in certain points. Of course, it should be noted that these are very, very early PTR datamined images, and should not be considered final.
Lastly, I really enjoy the name of this battleground, and its not-so-subtle reference to Defense of the Ancients!
Mists of Pandaria is here! The level cap has been raised to 90, many players have returned to Azeroth, and pet battles are taking the world by storm. Keep an eye out for all of the latest news, and check out our comprehensive guide to Mists of Pandaria for everything you'll ever need to know.

Top 10 tempting iPod accessories
Despite the fact that I finally caved and purchased a second-gen iPod Touch, history will tell you that I'm no iPod fangirl. Still, one thing the iPod has going for it that no other MP3 player can match is a seemingly endless array of third-party add-ons.
There are hordes of cases; gaggles of speakers; and a shocking supply of docks, recorders, FM transmitters, and other feature-adding devices...not to mention all those apps for the Touch and the iPhone.

Perimenopause, or menopause transition, is the stage of a woman's reproductive life that begins several years before menopause, when the ovaries gradually begin to produce less estrogen. It usually starts in a woman's 40s, but can start in a woman's 30s or even earlier.
Perimenopause lasts up until menopause, the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs. In the last one to two years of perimenopause, this decline in estrogen accelerates. At this stage, many women experience menopausal symptoms.
HRT: Revisiting the Hormone Decision
It was the summer of 2002 when the news about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shook us to the core. In what felt like a bomb dropped on all womankind, the U.S. federal government halted the hormone trial of the Women's Health Initiative early – a study designed to evaluate the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy on disease prevention. The reason: Not only had HRT failed to be the protective fountain of youth doctors and women had long since believed, evidence was mounting...
Read the HRT: Revisiting the Hormone Decision article > >
How Long Does Perimenopause Last?
The average length of perimenopause is four years, but for some women this stage may last only a few months or continue for 10 years. Perimenopause ends the first year after menopause (when a woman has gone 12 months without having her period).
What Are the Signs of Perimenopause?
You may recognize perimenopause when you begin experiencing some or all of the following symptoms:
- Hot flashes
- Breast tenderness
- Worsening of premenstrual syndrome
- Decreased libido (sex drive)
- Fatigue
- Irregular periods
- Vaginal dryness; discomfort during sex
- Urine leakage when coughing or sneezing
- Urinary urgency (a pressing need to urinate more frequently)
- Mood swings
- Difficulty sleeping
How Do I know If Changes in My Periods Are Normal Perimenopausal Symptoms or Something to Be Concerned About?
Irregular periods are common and normal during perimenopause. But other conditions can cause abnormalities in menstrual bleeding. If any of the following situations apply to you, see a doctor to rule out other causes:
- Your periods are very heavy, or accompanied by blood clots
- Your periods last several days longer than usual
- You spot between periods
- You experience spotting after sex
- Your periods occur closer together
Potential causes of abnormal bleeding include hormonal imbalances, birth control pills, pregnancy, fibroids, blood clotting problems or, rarely, cancer.
How Is Perimenopause Diagnosed?
Often your doctor can make the diagnosis of perimenopause based on your symptoms. Blood tests to check hormone levels may also be beneficial, but they may be difficult to evaluate due to erratic fluctuations of hormones during this period. It may be more helpful to have several tests done at different times for comparison.
Can I Get Pregnant If I Am Perimenopausal?
Yes. Despite a decline in fertility during the perimenopause stage, you can still become pregnant. If you do not want to become pregnant, you should continue to use some form of birth control until you reach menopause (you have gone 12 months without having your period).
For some women, getting pregnant can be difficult once they are in their late 30s to early 40s due to a decline in fertility. But, if becoming pregnant is the goal, there are fertility-enhancing treatments and techniques that can help you get pregnant.
Are There Treatments That Can Reduce the Symptoms Associated With Perimenopause?
Many women experience relief from hot flashes after taking low-dose birth control pills for a short period of time. Other options that may control hot flashes include the birth control skin patch, vaginal ring, and progesterone injections. Certain women should not use birth control hormones, so talk to your doctor to see if they are right for you.

PIERRE - When Gov. Dennis Daugaard imposed pay cuts on himself and throughout his Cabinet and staff, he intended the message to travel throughout all of state government, including other elected and non-elected officials: Spending must be reduced in the face of a budget deficit forecast at $127 million.
The elected officials who run the state Public Utilities Commission and the state Office of School and Public Lands, however, decided they didn't need to follow the governor's example.
PUC chairman Steve Kolbeck and Lands Commissioner Jarrod Johnson submitted budgets last week to the Legislature's Joint Committee on Appropriations without salary reductions for themselves or their staffs.
Many of the committee's leaders weren't pleased that Daugaard's example wasn't voluntarily followed.
I start to see a trend outside the governor's controlled agencies, and it draws great concern, Sen. Jeff Haverly, R-Rapid City, said.
The three utilities commissioners - Kolbeck, a Democrat, and Republicans Gary Hanson and Chris Nelson - have annual salaries currently set at $91,390. Lands commissioner Johnson, a Republican, is set at $78,363. The governor cut his own salary 15 percent to $98,031.
The Legislature has the authority to not only set the various budgets but to specifically set the pay of elected state officials. Budget amounts won't be finalized until some point in March during the legislative session's closing days.
Kolbeck faced only difficult questions during his budget hearing Friday morning. Johnson, who was next on the agenda, faced much tougher scrutiny.
The governor recommended cuts in general fund spending of at least 10 percent for every office and branch of state government, including the PUC and the lands office. The PUC budget proposal follows that 10 percent directive, but the lands office sought by Johnson didn't.
Instead, Johnson asked the legislators Friday to override the governor's proposed cuts and also give the lands office an increase of $800,000 for repairing state-owned dams.
If you accept the governor's budget recommendation, we feel we will not have the ability to perform the office's basic functions and could possibly be in violation of state law, Johnson said at the start of his presentation.
By the time he was finished, he had to defend raises he'd given staff in past years when state government was otherwise under a general freeze, and he acknowledged that a cut in his salary wouldn't have any effect on the office's ability to fulfill its duties.
The committee's co-chairmen eventually stopped Johnson's hearing and suggested he bring back a different budget that makes the 10 percent cut and leaves out the dam money.
I guess I'm asking you to maybe recalibrate your thinking, because I don't think you understand the gravity of what this committee is faced with this year, Sen. Corey Brown, R-Gettysburg, said.
Brown, one of the co-chairmen, told Johnson it was a little bit of an insult for Johnson to oppose a 10 percent reduction for the lands office at a time when cuts are facing mental health programs, schools and higher education.
The other co-chairman, Rep. Dean Wink, R-Howes, agreed with Brown's suggestion that Johnson rework his proposal.
We have to prioritize for the whole state. And as the senator pointed out, there are some very important areas that are probably going to be hurt, Wink said. If push comes to shove, we are going to have to find the money from some place, and we may take money you can't afford to lose.
The PUC budget brought by Kolbeck reflected the 10 percent reduction in general fund spending which the governor has recommended throughout state government. The savings would be accomplished through a funding swap, with proceeds from the PUC's share of utility tax revenue being used to replace general state funds.
We will not be taking a pay cut, Kolbeck said about the PUC's proposed budget. In his defense, Kolbeck said not all members of the governor's staff are being paid less.
Kolbeck didn't elaborate, but Dusty Johnson, the governor's chief of staff, is now making $105,000, which is about $14,000 more than his previous salary as one of the PUC's three elected commissioners.
Dusty Johnson officially resigned Jan. 8 to accept his new post with Daugaard. In turn, Daugaard appointed former Secretary of State Chris Nelson to replace him on the PUC. Nelson received a raise of about $13,000 in the process.
The lands office, whose commissioner is elected and has a staff of seven, is a fixture in the state constitution and dates back to 1889 statehood.
But the office, which primarily manages grazing leases and oversees mineral and gas rights on state property, has faced questions about its necessity since at least the 1980s.
Voters narrowly defeated a constitutional amendment in 1986 that sought to combine the lands office under the state treasurer.
The PUC, which normally has three elected commissioners (one is currently appointed because of a resignation), has a staff of 33 and doesn't enjoy any constitutional protection.
The PUC, instead, is a creation of the Legislature and could be merged into another agency without a constitutional amendment.
Its roles evolved during the past century, through a variety of changes made by the Legislature, from a railroad commission to its present status as a regulator of utilities and warehouses.

The process of finding and financing a home takes time and effort. Let National Penn's experienced mortgage consultants help you take the guesswork and time out of the financing process. We look forward to helping you finance the home of your dreams!
Fixed rate mortgage
The most common and popular type of mortgage loan. With a fixed rate mortgage, your monthly payment is more stable than other types of mortgages because the interest rate is fixed for as long as you have the loan.
Your monthly payment of principal and interest does not change over the life of the loan, but your total monthly payment can change if it also includes property taxes and insurance (e.g., homeowners, hazard, flood or mortgage insurance), which may increase or decrease.
Adjustable rate mortgage
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change during the life of the loan, with the possibility of both increases and decreases to the interest rate and the amount of the monthly mortgage payment.
ARM interest rates generally remain fixed during an initial period, after which rates adjust periodically such as annually, semi-annually, or monthly according to an index and a margin, each of which is specified in the related mortgage note. Rates are typically capped in terms of the size of the rate adjustment at the first change date (initial cap) and/or subsequent change dates (periodic cap) and the maximum rate over the life of the loan (life-of-loan cap).
Construction to permanent loan
This option is used when you are looking to build your own home. The construction loan is provided first and then is modified to permanent financing.

"If I were to wish for anything [it would be] for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible." – Soren Kierkegaard [*]
I learn so much from my students. I'm currently teaching a wonderful group of seniors, and they're naturally contemplating their next steps after graduation.
Recently, I was imploring them to develop their entrepreneurial pursuits even while they might be forced to take a less-than-ideal job immediately after graduation.
I told them that by developing their meaningful work while they were doing work simply to pay their bills ("The Sex and Cash Theory" so perfectly articulated by Hugh MacLeod) they would be able to more easily suffer the indignities which tend to be an axiomatic part of jobs done just for the cash.
I also told them that by making sure not to forget their purpose-driven ventures amidst their just-for-the-money jobs, they would be creating options for themselves.
As I said this, I looked at their faces and saw such possibility emanating from each of them, and I saw something else too. I paused for a moment and said something along the lines of: "Bitterness occurs when you don't have options."
This possibility — the virtually unlimited options awaiting these student, and their belief in that possibility, even if only for that moment — crowded out any hint of bitterness/cynicism from their faces (if it had been there at all).
I've reflected on this quite a bit recently, and I believe it now more than ever: It's options — a feeling of possibility, of not being trapped — that allow us to escape the evilness that is bitterness.
I don't think I know any bitter entrepreneurs. Certainly, I know some crazy-ass, maladjusted entrepreneurs, but they tend not to be bitter. It's because they know they always have options.
Think about the most bitter person you know, and check to see if he/she is also one of the people you know who – for whatever reason – is sort trapped…without options.
Don't let this happen to you.
[*] You want to know why you blog? It's because when you do, if you're lucky, you get amazing feedback from people who read what you write; such as this quote from my friend John P. Strohm. Thanks, John.

WILLIAMSPORT — The Boonsboro girls and Williamsport boys won the team titles as the Washington County championships concluded Friday.
Seventeen of the 18 events were held Thursday, but due to strong winds, the pole vault competition was postponed to Friday.
While the Williamsport boys clinched their title Thursday, the Boonsboro girls still had work to do to hold off North Hagerstown.
While North's Emily Smith won the girls pole vault at 8 feet, 6 inches, it wasn't enough to overtake the Warriors, who had three placewinners in the event as they wrapped up their second straight outdoor county championship.

50 most inspiring quotes about books and reading
The quotes about books we've put together in this post are not the most famous ones, but all of them have one outstanding merit: they are highly inspiring to rediscover the pleasure of reading.
You may ask, what book quotes have to do with the ebook site. Ebook sites are still mostly focused on the issues related to technology rather than pleasures of reading.
We believe that a reader has to learn only as much technology as it's needed to fully enjoy the magic of reading. Reading in times of digital content is changing, but it doesn't mean it gives less pleasure – just the opposite.
There is absolutely no difference between a hardcover book or an audiobook or a multimedia book application. There is no difference between a high grammage paper or e-ink screen or a backlit high-resolution Retina display.
The biggest pleasure comes from what we read, not from on what we read.
The real difference, though, lies in our attitude to reading. Gilbert K. Chesterton once said: "There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read."

No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.
–C.S. Lewis

He bought these dead blooms and
Dog poison for his beloved.
Hands torn by thorns, bloodied.
Standing at her door,
Nervous perspiration trickles
Down his ass crack.
Visions of car crashes,
Train wrecks,
Sinking ships
Fill his sweaty brow.
The moments stretch on
Indeterminately. Seconds
Seem like minutes. Minutes
Feel like hours.
Waiting, heart palpitating,
Is misery.
Still, her door remains a barrier to
His hopes and aspirations.
Perhaps things would go better
If he knocked.

Cherry blossom peak bloom pushed to April 3-6
Washington is going to have to wait a little longer to see the city's iconic cherry blossoms at peak bloom.
The National Park Service said Tuesday that they plan to push back this year's projected peak bloom to between April 3 and 6. The original bloom dates had been set for between March 26 and 30.
An NPS spokesperson said Monday that the blooms are currently at 70 percent of peak.
It's the second straight year that park officials have had to revise their peak bloom date. In 2012, officials originally issued a peak bloom projection of March 24 to 31, but the bloom actually came on March 20.
"I was really, really hoping to see the cherry blossoms, when we got here it was really cold and rainy," says Lawrence Johnson.
That cold and dreary weather has slowed the budding process for the cherry blossoms. Park service officials announced Tuesday the trees will be at their peak a week later than expected.
"My sister lives here, she was showing us pictures of what they look like when they're in full bloom, so I'm just disappointed we missed it," says tourist Hannah Hefner.
It was disappointing news for many tourists who made their way through the tidal basin Tuesday. Many planned their vacations long ago and hoped they'd get the timing right.
"The greens already started to come out, so once the contrast comes from the actual trees, I can't imagine," says tourist Brandon Jackson.
