By now, you've probably read that Florida State's red-shirt junior quarterback Clint Trickett will transfer -- likely to West Virginia or USF. Trickett can play immediately at his new school, taking advantage of the graduate transfer rule as he will graduate in May.
But that might not be the end of the transfers at the quarterback position for the Seminoles.
With it looking like Jameis Winston, a red-shirt freshman, will be the starter, one has to wonder about the future of red-shirt sophomore Jacob Coker.
Coker has a lot of talent. He's extremely well built at 6'5 and 230 pounds. He has a huge arm. And, when healthy (which he was not this spring, being limited with an injured foot), he has very good athleticism relative to his size.
If Coker was healthy during the spring, he might have won the job. But he wasn't healthy. And Winston was that good, both throughout the spring and live during the spring game.
What is Jacob Coker to do?
It would be a mistake to transfer out now. It made a lot of sense for Trickett, because he can play right away. Coker will not have his degree in 2013, and cannot play immediately. If he is to transfer, he must sit out for 2013, unless he goes to a lower division.
It would be foolish for Coker to transfer out until he is certain that Winston will be the starter in 2013. He needs to have his shot at the job while playing on a healthy foot. Which means sticking until right before classes start in the fall at the least.
So that's a timetable.
There's still the question of whether he should transfer at all. There are two options here: stay or go.
If he elects to go to an FBS school, he would have to sit out a year. But he could be learning the system of his new school and participate in practice while being ineligible for game competition. Then, as a red-shirt junior he'd have a chance to start at his new school.
If he stays past the fall as the backup, he's basically betting that:
- He can outplay Winston even though Winston has outplayed him in spring 2013 and the fall camp; or
- Winston gets hurt, allowing for an opening in which Coker starts and plays very well, supplanting Winston; or
- Winston is such a transcendent talent that he goes pro in baseball or football following the 2014 season, leaving a single red-shirt senior season for Coker.
No. 1 seems highly unlikely, No. 2 is unfortunately possible, through improbable, and No. 3 is probably not all that likely.
Or: He might be willing to stick around for 2013, take a large courseload, graduate, and transfer out after the spring of 2014, as Clint Trickett did. That's certainly a possibility, though it wouldn't allow him to get the head start year that a 2013 transfer would provide.
Some will say that Coker should stick around as the backup because the backup gets to show off his skills in garbage time after the game is will in hand, and that the value if Jimbo Fisher's coaching makes staying a smart move. I dismiss this. While certainly a factor, Fisher's quarterback coaching is not something to be valued over actual game reps.
There are, of course, personal considerations factoring into this. His friends are at Florida State. His course of study is at Florida State. Those are tough things to leave. But they are slightly less difficult to leave if you have an NFL arm -- which Coker does.
If he competes in fall and doesn't come out ahead, and is receiving interest from quality schools (like, say, Duke, if allowed, which really wanted him coming out of high school, or UAB, which is in his home state and running the Petrino offense), I think he should go and sit the year while practicing with his new team, learning that system.
Because of his physical tools, Coker has a chance to make a living throwing the football. His decision should be the one that maximizes that opportunity.
What would you do if you were Jacob Coker? Think from his perspective, not that of an FSU fan.

We're getting the whole family involved with 10 family-friendly films that have been honored with nominations for the coveted best picture award. Keep reading for our favorite films that both kids and parents can enjoy, from the old-school classic Mary Poppins, which was nominated for 12 Academy Awards in 1965, to last year's best picture nominee Hugo! Babe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Suitable for kids 5 and up, Babe was a surprise hit and a best picture nominee in 1995. The sweet story follows Babe, a pig raised by sheepdogs, who learns to herd sheep with a little help from Farmer Hoggett. Babe won an Oscar for best visual effects. 1 / 10 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 1982, E.T. hit the silver screen and made a star of director Steven Spielberg, child actress Drew Barrymore, and a lovable alien with a big heart. After isolated young boy Elliott (Henry Thomas) finds E.T., he must also find the courage to challenge the authorities to help the alien return to its home planet. Nominated for best picture, the film won Oscars for its effects, sound, and music. It's suitable for kids ages 7 and up. 2 / 10 Field of Dreams What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Appropriate for more mature kids, Field of Dreams follows an Iowa corn farmer who hears whispers and builds a baseball diamond in response, attracting the supernatural Chicago Black Sox. The film, starring Kevin Costner, was nominated for best picture in 1989. 3 / 10 Hugo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Last year's family-friendly best picture nominee Hugo is set in 1930s Paris, where an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station becomes involved in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. The film is nominated for 11 Oscars, including nods for directing, screenplay, cinematography, and sound. Source: Paramount Pictures 4 / 10 Mary Poppins What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No childhood is complete without at least a few viewings of Mary Poppins, starring Julie Andrews as a magical nanny who comes to work for a banker's unhappy family, turning around the lives of charges Jane and Michael (and a chimney sweep named Bert, played by Dick Van Dyke). The film won five Oscars in 1965 and was nominated for eight more, including best picture. 6 / 10 The Sound of Music What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Julie Andrews returned to a child-care role a year after Mary Poppins was released as the lovely Maria, a free spirit who leaves a convent to become the governess to the Von Trapp children, in Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical film The Sound of Music. Its beautiful scenery, amazing music, and historical plot make the film appealing to kids 6 and up. The film was nominated for 10 Oscars in 1966 and took home five, including best picture. 6 / 10 Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The original Star Wars, Star Wars Episode IV (suitable for kids 6 and up), made enduring cultural icons out of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, R2-D2, and C-3PO. The film won six Oscars and was nominated for four more, including best picture, in 1977. 7 / 10 To Kill a Mockingbird What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Better for more mature children, To Kill a Mockingbird features the adorable duo of Scout and Jem, whose father, Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), is a lawyer in the depression-era South defending a black man against an undeserved charge and teaching his kids about the perils of racism and the importance of justice. The film was nominated for eight Oscars in 1963, including best picture, and Peck took home the best actor statue. 8 / 10 Toy Story 3 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The third Toy Story film is the series' most acclaimed. Toy Story 3 is slightly scarier than the first two (kids age 6 and up will be able to handle it), following Woody as he helps the toys return home after they are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college. The film was nominated for five Oscars in 2011, including best picture, taking home trophies for best animated feature and best original song. Source: Walt Disney Pictures 9 / 10 Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pixar's charming film Up follows 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, who sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream of seeing the wilds of South America by tying thousands of balloon to his home, only to find that 8-year-old wilderness explorer Russell inadvertently become a stowaway.

How did you first get started in magic?
My interest in magic began when my older brother showed me a slip force. I was instantly baffled! He then told me to go on youtube to learn all the basic tricks, so I did that. Eventually that let me to visiting magic websites like Ellusionist and Theory11. My magic adventure began from there!
Which artists have inspired you the most in your work thus far?
David Stone, Jean Pierre Vallarino, David Sousa, Lance Burton, and Jean-Luc Betrand.
What is your creative process - how do you come up with new effects and ideas?
Watch other tricks and then try to come up with your own variations
What advice would you give to new performers just starting today?
Don't get discouraged by people who tell you magic is just a waste of time. When I first started out all my friends and family told me that I was just wasting my time practicing tricks when I should have been doing something more "productive". Well, I didn't listen to them, and now I think I'm a pretty successful magician having been doing it for only 4 years.

BP and the U.S. government reached a record settlement last week over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
And it's not over. Both sides are still negotiating another multi-billion dollar settlement which Punta Gorda city leaders have their eyes on.
Serine Rossi and her friend Polly Conway have heard rumors of Mote Marine building an aquarium on an empty lot between the harbor and downtown Punta Gorda. "It's still kind of an eyesore, they need to do something with it because it's such prime property," Rossi says while walking downtown.
City leaders say it's more than just a rumor. Mote Marine is laying the groundwork for an educational and research aquarium here. "To us, this is not a whether it's coming here; it's coming here, it's a matter of when," explains Mayor Bill Albers.
Paying for the estimated 38 million dollar facility is one obstacle. But soon millions of dollars will come to Florida from a fine leveled against BP for the April 2010 oil spill.
The oil company says it has already paid more than 40 billion dollars to cleanup and restore the gulf including last week's record 4.5 billion dollar criminal settlement with the U.S. government. In February, lawyers are expected to work out a fine for violating the Clean Water Act. Projections estimates BP will be paying an additional 5 to 20 billion dollars.
The city council is making the Mote facility a priority to receive some of that funding. "Any little boost we can give to the Mote project is a plus," Albers points out.
The plan is to get 4.6 million dollars to cover the study and design phases. Mote will raise the rest of the money for construction.
The city is not contributing any of its money to the project, but, since the aquarium would be so close to downtown, the city council says any boost it can give Mote would benefit the city. "That would just be a spark in downtown for people to get on board and say 'I think I better get opened up down here before there's no space left,'" says Albers after the city council meeting.
The city also wants to use money from the BP settlement on sewers in the Charlotte Park neighborhood.
County and city leaders will meet in January to prioritize a list of projects to pursue using those funds.
"It's really just a pleasure to walk around and look at how it's changed," Rossi says while exploring downtown Punta Gorda. The mayor hopes the next time Rossi visits, she'll notice an even bigger change.

A stick for all-terrain domination.
If you're looking for a middle of the road (grip width not quality, that is) ski pole for all-terrain domination, look no further than the Line Dart Ski Poles. Tough and light aluminum keeps the swing weight low. The mountain-bike-inspired grips with a 28mm diameter and a skinny, round shape without forced finger placements make it easy to hold on when you're launching massive back flips or smoothly slashing high-speed turns down wide open faces. Line's unique Grab Tab technology (soft rubber tab located on the grip's top) allows for five-finger grabs. The Dart comes with two screw-off baskets (60 and 80mm) that can be changed without tools so you can adapt to the ever-changing environment.
- Aluminum 6061 components
- 26mm diameter Moto grips
- Adjustable strap webbing
- Grab tabs
- 60mm and 90mm screwoff baskets

Has anybody used the Midi API thats available on some of the series 40 phones like 7250, 5100 etc?? I am not talking about MMAPI or the Monophonic Nokia UI Api.
Please revert back with where I can find this API. Thanks a lot.

Please revert back with where I can find this API. Thanks a lot.
There are no separate MIDI APIs. One uses MMAPIs to play MIDI as well.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I recently attended a Nokia showcase, where i got hold of a nokia brochure with all the nokia devices available in the market. In the section Java APIs, there's a clear mention of MIDI API for devices like 5100, 6800, 7250 etc.. For 3650, yes its MMAPI.
A similar brochure can also be found at
Please clarify.
We are investigating the issue with our conterparts in the Americas region. As of now I suggest you refer to the device matrix at www.forum.nokia.com/devices
[N]/Forum Nokia
Hi, Thank you for your prompt replies, you seem to be reviving my belief in this forum!
The product matrix (hard copy) I have, is that of Asia-Pacific, and the information is the same. Also, in the link I mentioned before, though the matrix is from the americas forum, for each product I am referring to, the region cell does state Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
I have been trying various Midi APIs (stripped down version of MMAPI, Media api of J2SE etc), to try and figure out what this api is thats available on these phones. I am beginning to believe that its some Nokia API that was being used before the standard (MMAPI) was in place.
I would have just used MMAPI, but unfortunately only the 3650 supports JSR 135
The device matrix you referred to were out-dated. They will be updated soon. Please refer to the device matrix at www.forum.nokia.com.devices. There is no proprietory MIDI API from Nokia.
[N]/Forum Nokia
Thank you.
One last question, does an "outdated-matrix" imply that old phones had that ability while the new phones coming into the market do not?
I dont mind developing a different version of my app with MIDI API, if it can then support older firmwares of Series 40. Resorting to just MMAPI restricts my customer base to just the 3650 for the moment.
There is no MIDI API and therefore no phones that ever supported it.

Alien Implant Removal Surgery
|George Noory
|Open Lines, Dr. Roger Leir
"I've got to tell you, this was very fascinating," said George Noory, who earlier in the day had attended an "alien implant" removal operation, that was overseen by Dr. Roger Leir (alienscalpel.com(1)), the guest for the first half of Friday's show.
Brenda, the patient who had the implant, told George that over the years she had spotted entities in her bedroom, and had had one particularly haunting encounter with a winged humanoid who floated 5ft. off the ground. Dental X-rays eventually revealed the implant which was embedded in the cheek area under her eye.
The operation, of which an audio portion was played on the show, proved to be difficult, Dr. Leir said, as the implant seemed to move every time they attempted to dislodge it. Leir and his associates were aided by the use of a fluoroscan, which allowed them to view the small metallic object during the procedure.
"Thank God for that," said Brenda after the removal of the foreign object which was found to be 3-4mm in length. In previous implant removals, lab results possibly indicated the objects may be a type of nanotechnology, said Leir, whose best guess as to their purpose is that they are "devices for measuring genetic changes about the body," probably of "non-terrestrial" origin.

text: Stupid Crap Boyfriends Buy 2 years ago by Lindsay Kaplan 15 Comments » Share a Tip Humans tend to collect stuff. But some of the junk that my boyfriend has brought home over the last few years has been completely idiotic. I know — what I consider trash might be his new treasure. After living together for two years, I think I'm allowed to judge. Over the course of the last 24 months, he has purchased a lot of stupid things. I wouldn't care so much if we had the space, but our New York apartment has the square footage of a suburban pantry. There's simply no room left to accommodate his bizarre hoarding behavior. Am I alone in this, or does your boyfriend also buy dumb crap? Let me know what your man is hoarding in the comments.

But sensible, bourgeois prudence did not outlive the election of 2000, when the radical right controlled all three branches of government. They soon -- (even amid crisis and war) -- doubled down on the voodoo called "supply side" economics, a mythology proclaiming that -- (take a deep breath and hold on) -- money flowing into the pockets of the rich will immediately be invested in entrepreneurial new enterprises, into research and development and into the capital equipment needed by old businesses to deliver new products and services, resulting in skyrocketing business activity and a burst of prosperity that will then be taxable at the lower rates, erasing the loss to the treasury.
(Okay, you can inhale now. But do compare this prediction to Cause Number 6, listed below.)
Well, in fact, the generals and admirals did exactly that. They complained like hell! Many were fired by Bush and Rumsfeld for daring to foresee us getting stuck in asian quagmires.
... and indeed, negotiate was what Obama tried to do! By abandoning all of the former democratic proposals and plopping onto the table the Republicans' own plan.
At which point the GOP instantly disavowed its own plan and denounced it as socialism. (Do not cavil over slight differences. Those were on the table too. They could have been negotiated, had anybody tried.)

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
William Rufus Devane King died in Dallas County, Alabama. He attended the University from 1801 to 1804, but left prior to graduating to study law. After a life-long career in public service, he was elected as vice-president of the United States in 1852. By a special act of Congress, he took the oath of office in Havana, Cuba, where he was recuperating from a bout with tuberculosis. He returned to Alabama but died on this day.Top

Alex Cataford, Student and Cyclist
While his fellow first-year Engineering classmates tackled Orientation activities in September, Alex Cataford faced a different challenge at the World Junior Cycling Championship in Coppenhagen.
"I was disappointed to miss Engineering Orientation because it seems like a unique experience. However, I know that some sacrifices are needed to compete at this level, and the satisfaction I get from cycling ensures that the sacrifices are worthwhile," he says.
As an elite athlete, Mr. Cataford has well-honed time management skills, which helped him effectively prepare for the two momentous events -- heading off to university and cycling in a world championship. In the weeks before the championship, he was busy emailing professors to make arrangements for missing the first two weeks of class.
"Alex was very proactive at getting everything he needed for the first week of classes he missed. He even completed assignments for the first couple of weeks while training and racing in Copenhagen," says Lynann Clapham, Associate Dean (Academic), Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. "Alex is doing very well in his first year of engineering and is a great example of our students' desire and ability to maintain their academics while often participating in significant extracurricular activities."
Mr. Cataford considered delaying going to university, but in the end he decided to enroll at Queen's.
"I knew that cycling is only part of my life that will last for 20 years. For that reason, I chose to go to school and balance both careers," he says.
Mr. Cataford has set up his class schedule so that he can effectively train for cycling. His goals include competing for Canada in the Olympic Games and racing professionally.
"Unfortunately, I had some major bike malfunction in the race, which led to a disappointing finish. However, I still learned a lot from the experience and will try to use what I have learned to perform better in the future," he says.
And even though he missed out on Orientation, Mr. Cataford can always ask his father and grandfather—both Queen's Engineering alumni—about the traditions he missed.

Patrick Leahy on Civil Rights
Democratic Sr Senator (VT)
Opponent's Argument for voting No (The Week; Huffington Post, and The Atlantic): House Republicans had objected to provisions in the Senate bill that extended VAWA's protections to lesbians, gays, immigrants, and Native Americans. For example, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) voted against the VAWA bill because it was a "politically–motivated, constitutionally-dubious Senate version bent on dividing women into categories by race, transgender politics and sexual preference." The objections can be grouped in two broadly ideological areas--that the law is an unnecessary overreach by the federal government, and that it represents a "feminist" attack on family values. The act's grants have encouraged states to implement "mandatory-arrest" policies, under which police responding to domestic-violence calls are required to make an arrest. These policies were intended to combat the too-common situation in which a victim is intimidated into recanting an abuse accusation. Critics also say VAWA has been subject to waste, fraud, and abuse because of insufficient oversight.
Leahy says, "Leahy (D-VT)"
- the flag of the US is a unique symbol of national unity...
- the Bill of Rights should not be amended in a manner that could be interpreted to restrict freedom...
- abuse of the flag causes more than pain and distress... and may amount to fighting words...
- destruction of the flag of the US can be intended to incite a violent response rather than make a political statement and such conduct is outside the protections afforded by the first amendment to the Constitution.
Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.
The amendment is about how we are going to raise the next generation. It is not an issue that the courts should resolve. Those of us who support this amendment are doing so in an effort to let the people decide.
Supporters rail against activist judges. But if this vaguely worded amendment ever passes, it will result in substantial litigation. What are the legal incidents of marriage? Is a civil union a marriage?
Our ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 HRC scores as follows:
The Human Rights Campaign represents a grassroots force of more than 700,000 members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, HRC envisions an America where GLBT people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.
Ever since its founding in 1980, HRC has led the way in promoting fairness for GLBT Americans. HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 NAACP scores as follows:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has worked over the years to support and promote our country's civil rights agenda. Since its founding in 1909, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to end racial discrimination while also ensuring the political, social, and economic equality of all people. The Association will continue this mission through its policy initiatives and advocacy programs at the local, state, and national levels. From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.
A resolution recognizing the historical significance of Juneteenth Independence Day and expressing that history should be regarded as a means for understanding the past and solving the challenges of the future.
Recognizes the historical significance to the nation, and supports the continued celebration, of Juneteenth Independence Day (June 19, 1865, the day Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that the enslaved African Americans were free). Declares the sense of Congress that:
Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation.
Congressional Summary:
Opponent's argument against bill:(by Cato Institute reported on Fox News): A bill in Congress that would prohibit discrimination in public schools based on sexual orientation or gender identity could stifle free speech and even lead to "homosexual indoctrination" in the nation's classrooms, critics say.
"The real danger is how this will be interpreted," said the associate director of the Center for Educational Freedom at the Cato Institute. "The definition of harassment could be broadly interpreted that anybody who expressed a totally legitimate opinion about homosexual behavior could be made illegal. That's a violation of those kids who want to express opposition to LGBT opinions or behavior. People have a legitimate reason to be concerned about this--not because they're 'haters' but because you're now trying to balance different rights."
Proponent's argument for bill: (Rep. Jared POLIS, House sponsor): "Hatred has no place in the classroom. Every student has the right to an education free from harassment and violence. This bill will protect the freedoms of our students and enshrine the values of equality and opportunity in the classroom."
Sen. LIEBERMAN: This legislation would require the Government to extend employee benefit programs to the same-sex domestic partners of Federal employees. It is sound public policy and it makes excellent business sense.
Under our bill, Federal employee and the employee's domestic partner would be eligible to participate in benefits to the same extent that married employees and their spouses participate. Employees and their partners would also assume the same obligations that apply to married employees and their spouses, such as anti-nepotism rules and financial disclosure requirements.
The Federal Government is our Nation's largest employer and should lead other employers, rather than lagging behind, in the quest to provide equal and fair compensation and benefits to all employees. That thousands of Federal workers who have dedicated their careers to public service and who live in committed relationships with same-sex domestic partners receive fewer protections for their families than those married employees is patently unfair and, frankly, makes no economic sense.
I call upon my colleagues to express their support for this important legislation. It is time for the Federal Government to catch up to the private sector, not just to set an example but so that it can compete for the most qualified employees and ensure that all of our public servants receive fair and equitable treatment. It makes good economic and policy senses. It is the right thing to do.
SUMMARY: Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act of 2007

Sarojini Chattopadhyay or Sarojini Naidu, as the world knows her, was born on February 13, 1879 in a Hindu Bengali Brahmin family. As a child Sarojini was of a very emotional and sentimental kind. She had a prominent romantic trait in her blood: "My ancestors for thousands of years have been lovers of the forest and the mountain caves, great dreamers, great scholars, great ascetics…" All these qualities manifest themselves in her romantic lyrics - a world of fantasy and allegoric idealism.
Sarojini's letter to Arthur Symons, when she was a teenager inviting him to her home reveal her passionate self - "Come and share my exquisite March morning with me… All is hot and fierce and passionate, ardent and unashamed in its exulting and importunate desire for life and love…" Symons found, "Her eyes were like deep pools and you seem to fall through them into depths below depths." She was petite and used to dress in 'clinging silks', and wore her hair loose 'straight down her back', spoke little and in 'a low voice, like gentle music'. Edmund Gosse said of her, "She was a child of sixteen, but…was already marvelous in mental maturity, amazingly well-read and far beyond a western child in all her acquaintance with the world."
Here is a selection of love poems from The Golden Threshold by Sarojini Naidu
with an Introduction by Arthur Symons (John Lane Company, New York, 1916): "The
Poet's Love Song", "Ecstasy", "Autumn Song", "An
Indian Love Song", "A Love Song From the North", and "A
Rajput Love Song".
The Poet's Love-Song
In noon-tide hours, O Love, secure and strong,
I need thee not; mad dreams are mine to bind
The world to my desire, and hold the wind
A voiceless captive to my conquering song.
I need thee not, I am content with these:
Keep silence in thy soul, beyond the seas!
But in the desolate hour of midnight, when
An ectasy of starry silence sleeps
And my soul hungers for thy voice, O then,
Love, like the magic of wild melodies,
Let thy soul answer mine across the seas.
Cover mine eyes, O my Love!
Mine eyes that are weary of bliss
As of light that is poignant and strong
O silence my lips with a kiss,
My lips that are weary of song!
Shelter my soul, O my love!
My soul is bent low with the pain
And the burden of love, like the grace
Of a flower that is smitten with rain:
O shelter my soul from thy face!
Autumn Song
Like a joy on the heart of a sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.
Hark to a voice that is calling
To my heart in the voice of the wind:
My heart is weary and sad and alone,
For its dreams like the fluttering leaves have gone, And why should I stay behind?

text: Toy Person a collection of exploratory works - documents my working practice over a one-year period from April 2010 to April 2011. Some of the works I consider to be resolved, whilst others are more exploratory in nature. The work spans photography and photographic painterly collage. I am interested in the prevailing 'idealised' aesthetic that has become a recognisable image in current popular culture. Many in their struggle for perfection now keenly pursue the flawless, smooth and shiny surface of the doll. Such aspirations amounting to an over stylised representation of the self, appearing more homogenate than authentic. Other works concern themselves with the hyper sexualised female whom almost seeks to emulate the doll - her raunchiness celebrated and encouraged. Some works reflect on the enduring women of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Canada. Their trade forcing them to reveal their skin against the back drop of a brutal, demonised and relentless cityscape.

I was a part of the webinar scheduled for today but was rescheduled. I read a little bit of your book and was wondering if you had any information for start-up businesses. I am in the process of starting a payroll service business and have been stalling because of marketing, or lack of knowledge on where to start. Do you have any information on this topic?
Great question! And one that I saw repeated several times in the chat stream. While the eBook, The Secret of Getting Better Customers, is written with a focus on operating businesses rather than start-ups, here are some ideas and resources you can use to get your new business off the ground with greater success:
Recommended books? The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki gave me several "aha" moments – for example, list 50 target customers and define your business model (meaning who is paying for what) first.
All you veterans out there, any other recommended sources or books? Add in the Comments section below.
And join us for the Redux of Getting Better Customers this Wednesday at 1:00pm ET.
Thanks for the article, I found it very useful. I especially liked the part about "Look at competitors for ideas", which I think is great. Not only is a good idea to copy what competitors do, but it is also a starting point to improve on those methods to differentiate your business. This can take many forms such as improving on a competitor's promotion by offering a better value, or just expanding marketing over different channels.
The other good idea was that of growing slowly. I have seen so many business plans that include the purchase of large fixed assets and even real estate on day one. Fixed costs are the enemy of businesses, and they rob the business owner of flexibility. Start small with the key word being "scalability".
Very good

Sarah Emma Edmonds (December 1841[1] – September 5, 1898[2]), was a Canadian-born woman who is known for serving as a man with the Union Army during the American Civil War. A master of disguise, Edmonds exploits were described in the bestselling Nurse and Spy in the Union Army. In 1992 she was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.
Sarah Emma Edmonds had always been adventurous and her interest in adventure was sparked by a book she read in her youth called Fanny Campbell, the Female Pirate Captain,[3] telling the story of Fanny Campbell and her adventures on a pirate ship while dressed as a man. Fanny remained dressed as a man in order to pursue other adventures, which Edmonds attributes to her desire to cross dress. During the Civil War, she enlisted in the 2nd Michigan Infantry on her second try, disguising herself as a man named "Franklin Flint Thompson," the middle name possibly after the city she volunteered in, Flint, Michigan. She felt that it was her duty to serve her country and it was truly patriotic. Extensive physical examinations were not required for enlistment at the time, and she was not discovered.[4] She at first served as a male field nurse, participating in several campaigns under General McClellan, including the First and Second Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, the Peninsula Campaign, Vicksburg, and others. However, some historians today say she could not have been at all these different places at the same time.
Frank Thompson's career took a turn before the war when a Union spy in Richmond, Virginia was discovered and went before a firing squad, and a friend, James Vesey, was killed in an ambush. She took advantage of the open spot and the opportunity to avenge her friend's death. She applied for, and won, the position as Franklin Thompson. Although there is no proof in her military records that she actually served as a spy, she wrote extensively about her experiences disguised as a spy during the war.[5]
Traveling into enemy territory in order to gather information required Emma to come up with many disguises. One disguise required Edmonds to use silver nitrate to dye her skin black, wear a black wig, and walk into the Confederacy disguised as a black man by the name of Cuff. Another time she entered as an Irish peddler woman by the name of Bridget O'Shea, claiming that she was selling apples and soap to the soldiers. Yet another time she was "working for the Confederates" as a black laundress when a packet of official papers fell out of an officer's jacket. When Thompson returned to the Union with the papers, the generals were delighted. Another time, she worked as a detective in Maryland as Charles Mayberry, finding an agent for the Confederacy.
Edmonds' career as Frank Thompson came to an end when she contracted malaria. She abandoned her duty in the military, fearing that if she went to a military hospital she would be discovered. She checked herself into a private hospital, intending to return to military life once she had recuperated. Once she recovered, however, she saw posters listing Frank Thompson as a deserter. Rather than return to the army under another alias or as Frank Thompson, risking execution for desertion, she decided to serve as a female nurse at a Washington, D.C. hospital for wounded soldiers run by the United States Christian Commission. There was speculation that Edmonds may have deserted because of John Reid having been discharged months earlier. There is evidence in his diary that she had mentioned leaving before she had contracted malaria. Her fellow soldiers spoke highly of her military service, and even after her disguise was discovered, was considered a good soldier. She was referred to as a fearless soldier and was active in every battle her regiment faced.[5][6]
In 1864 Boston publisher DeWolfe, Fiske, & Co. published Edmonds' account of her military experiences as The Female Spy of the Union Army. One year later her story was picked up by a Hartford, CT publisher who issued it with a new title, Nurse and Spy in the Union Army. It was a huge success, selling in excess of 175,000 copies. In 1867, she married L. H. Seelye, a Canadian mechanic, with whom she had three children.[7] In 1886,[7] she received a government pension of $12 a month for her military service, and after some campaigning, was able to have the charge of desertion dropped, and receive an honorable discharge. In 1897, she became the only woman admitted to the Grand Army of the Republic, the Civil War Union Army veterans' organization. Edmonds died in La Porte, Texas, and is buried in the GAR section of Washington Cemetery in Houston.
She was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame in 1992.[8]
Edmonds' book was reprinted again in 1999 with a new title, Memoirs of a Soldier, Nurse and Spy.

Here's a matchup to watch in Sunday's Browns-Raiders game.
Browns TEs Benjamin Watson and Evan Moore vs. Oakland's pass defense
The Raiders have had their problems stopping tight ends in recent weeks. The Jets' Dustin Keller caught five passes for 87 yards (nine targets) in Week Three. Last week, Texans TEs Joel Dreessen (nine targets, five catches, 112 yards, one TD) and Owen Daniels (11 targets, seven catches, 89 yards) gave them fits, too. Dreessen broke free on a 56-yard TD on a well-designed, slow-developing play-action pass in which he blocked initially, then ran to the far side of the field. No one covered him, and he was off to the races.
Daniels' long catch of 28 yards vs. Oakland was on a more conventional play. Daniels simply ran past Raiders OLB Quentin Groves, who didn't drop deep enough quickly enough, and QB Matt Schaub hit Daniels down the middle.
Watson, who has been targeted a team-high 30 times, catching 16-173-2, runs well, as does Moore (7-85-2 with 12 targets). Moore is likely to be a bigger part of the offense than he was before the bye, and more two-TE sets are possible. "Evan Moore needs to be in there more," head coach Pat Shurmur said this week.
Considering the success other clubs have targeting tight ends vs. Oakland, Watson and Moore could be key parts of the game plan Sunday.

My husband loves these slippers!
By donaquijote
from San Francisco
My husband was highly skeptical about ordering slippers on-line, fearing they wouldn't fit and it would be a bother. But when they arrived and he slid his feet into their soft warmth and realized they ran true to size, he was very happy and pleased that I ordered them, despite his doubts. Ordering was easy, delivery right on time for Christmas, and because I have two Overland shearling coats that I love, I trusted the company.Thank you for an excellent product and service!
By Peggy
