Provocation is in the eye of the beholder
By BARRY LEFF
The Jerusalem Municipality's planning approval for a nine-story yeshiva in an Arab neighborhood is more than bad timing.
'We do not discriminate when we build. There is no provocation here."
Such was the message from Brachie Sprung, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat's spokeswoman, on Wednesday. She was defending the municipality's decision to authorize the building of a nine-story yeshiva campus in the middle of the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
Sometimes reading the newspaper in Israel is an Alice-in-Wonderland experience, where you have to shake your head and wonder whether you are sharing the same reality as the rest of the world. We don't discriminate? No provocation? Let's look at both of those propositions.
Sheikh Jarrah is on the north side of Jerusalem, just east of the Green Line. From 1948 to 1967, it was part of Jordan. In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that 30 homes in Sheikh Jarrah belonged to Jews prior to 1948, and those homes should be returned to the Jewish owners, and taken away from the Palestinians who have been living in them for more than 60 years. The neighborhood has been the site of periodic large demonstrations attracting international attention ever since.
The basic court ruling is patently discriminatory. War broke out in 1948. Jews who lived in east Jerusalem fled to west Jerusalem. Many Arabs who lived in west Jerusalem fled to east Jerusalem. Both groups abandoned property. Nineteen years later, in 1967, Israel conquered the territory and annexed east Jerusalem into the municipality of Jerusalem. Another 43 years later, the court rules the Jews who fled to west Jerusalem can have their land in east Jerusalem back.
But the Arabs who fled to east Jerusalem are not entitled to get their land back.
It's an outrageous ruling. It's one thing to say "There was a war, people were dislocated, people lost property. It was unfortunate for people on both sides." But to say we're going to give land back to the original owners, if they were Jews, and not give it back to the original owners if they were Arabs, violates every fundamental principle of fairness. There's an expression in English, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."
Such behavior makes us look like greedy pigs. Either no one should get their land back, or everyone should get their land back.
"We do not discriminate." Right.
What would happen if the Christian Arab family that owned the Semiramis Hotel in the Katamon neighborhood of west Jerusalem tried to reclaim it so they could build a Christian school there? How much success would it have? Jews get more building permits in east Jerusalem than Arabs do.
Nof Zion and Har Homa get far more building permits than Jebl Mukaber or Sur Bahir. And when the Arabs have no place to live because of natural population growth and leave east Jerusalem to find housing, they lose their valuable Jerusalem residency cards. But there's no discrimination.
And then there is the contention that "there is no provocation here." US Secretary of State John Kerry is working tirelessly to bring about a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. The whole world is watching events here in Israel in general and in Jerusalem in particular with a microscope. Israel can prevaricate until the cows come home, but the rest of the world views any Israeli construction activity east of the Green Line as illegal under international law. Saying that this is just one step in a process that takes years does nothing to mitigate the damage. If it's going to take years anyway, what's the rush? Why approve it now, during the middle of sensitive negotiations? It's stupid timing, because it calls the world's attention to the discriminatory way that Israel treats Arab residents of east Jerusalem.
We don't even have the sense to avoid reminding the world of our sins. This week's Torah portion is about the episode of the Golden Calf. The midrash says that after the episode of the Golden Calf, when Aaron was commanded to bring a sacrifice, he didn't want to bring a bull, because he didn't want to remind God of the Golden Calf incident. Aaron is portrayed as embarrassed by his people's inappropriate behavior. Aaron's descendants instead prefer to publicize their inappropriate behavior in big headlines in the newspapers.
It's not just the Palestinians who say that continued settlement building is a provocation. Our most important trading partners – America and Europe – tell us the same thing. But we don't listen.
As it says in this week's Torah portion: We are a "stiff-necked people."
We should behave morally because it's the right thing to do.
But if we refuse to behave morally because it's the right thing to do, we should at least behave morally because it's the smart thing to do.

Let's play with words and images. Yummy! The word is TRAP. What does trap evoke with you? Use words for me...Thanks.
Pain: as in animal traps.
Rat trap ,name of a bar I drank in a lot of years ago.
Yes at the end of back street dimly lit ,a pool table in the back and lots of interesting creatures lurking about.
The young bunny sniffed the backside of the box and got an aroma of lettuce. Intrigued, he hopped around to the front where the smell was stronger. Looking around, he saw no predators or other rabbits so he took a step inside. He went all the way to the back where the lettuce was just laying there, waiting to be eaten. He nibbled a little, then listened. No animal sounds around. He grabbed the biggest piece between his teeth and pulled. Alas and alack, there was a string attached that made the door fall down, trapping the bunny until a human pulled him out to take home for supper.
Trix are for kids. :)
(Word association)

Trap... cheese (as in mouse trap)

(Acronym)

Temporal

Reoccuring

Anomaly that has you

Pinned

(Quote / Wisdom)

The first step in avoiding a trap is to know that it is there in the first place.

(Playful)

If part of the trap is missing, do you get to pat on the tap?
Honey Trap!
No, Where a woman pays another woman to flirt with her boyfriends to see if he flirts back, a way to check if her boyfriends is faithfull. Thats a honey trap.
I agree, no trust, no future. :)
people, and social media. I once described facebook as an endless spiderweb, people desperately climb towards the center in hopes of attention, but get lost in their boredom and dissapointment

If you travel through Jackson County or live there you may have been on the receiving end of dropped cell phone calls and spotty service. In a matter of months, that inconvenience may be a thing of the past.
The construction of two Verizon cell towers was approved at Tuesday nights County Commission meeting and the benefits of the towers reach even farther than the area it will cover. The towers will be located in the rural areas of the county. One in the northern area near the state line, and another near the Jackson/Bay County line on the east side of Fairview Road.
In order for the towers to move into the county, commissioner's negotiated Jackson County emergency services to be able to use the structure. The exact cost is still under negotiation. For a reasonable cost, first responders will take advantage of extended radio coverage in rural areas. This will enable dispatchers to communicate between ambulances, officers and fire trucks with stronger radio to radio communication.
According to Jackson County cell user, Jeff Kimbrel, time and efficient communication is of the essence in rural areas, "Almost everybody above the age of 12 has a cell phone and just for instance if a child is out riding an all terrain vehicle and gets a little bit far from home, no cell service, can't call mom or dad. It will really be beneficial to have coverage and people will see that over time."
According to County Administrator, Ted Lakey, the towers should be up and working within the next 12 months.

A Model of Final Offer Arbitration in Regulation
AbstractI study a regulatory process in which both the regulator and the regulated firm propose prices that, in case of disagreement, are settled through final-offer arbitration (FOA)—a practice currently used in Chile for setting prices in the water sector. Rather than submitting a single offer, each party simultaneously submits an offer for each of the firm's cost units (e.g., cost of raw water, capital cost). While a multiple-offers scheme allow the arbitrator to better approximate her ideal settlement, it may induce parties to submit widely divergent offers. This divergence, however, does not affect the arbitrator's ability to learn from the offers. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2005

Linear MegaCode Block Coded Visor Transmitter
The Linear MegaCode Block Coded Visor Transmitters are designed for use with Linear's access control products. The Transmitters are available in 1-Channel and 2-Channel versions.
The 1-channel Transmitter device will send a signal when the button is pushed. The 2-Channel Transmitter will send a channel one signal when the left button is pushed and a channel two signal when the right button is pushed. A visor clip is included.
The transmitters are MegaCode format, which means each transmitter is factory preprogrammed with one of over 1,000,000 codes, virtually eliminating the possibility of code duplication. Because the receiver "learns" each specific code, no unauthorized person can gain access to the system by reprogramming a transmitter.
Block coded transmitters are factory programmed to a sequential series of transmitter ID codes. When used with a Linear access controller, transmitters can be locally or remotely programmed into memory by entering the first and last codes of the block into the system. Facility codes can be selected to further customize the system.
From garage door openers to gate operators, from loading dock doors to access control systems, from everyday entry to high security, Linear makes radio controls to cover the industry's diverse range of applications. Single and multi-channel transmitters and receivers can be mixed and matched within product families to address just about any user need.

Line 6 Monkey Error 80007211: "Firmware update timeout waiting for response from the device"
So this will be my 2nd time posting on this problem, HOPEFULLY someone can help me out this time haha. As stated, I have the POD HD Pro, and I am running Line 6 Monkey 1.43 for my flash memory update. I've been trying to update the flash memory from 1.30 to 1.40. I've tried from the site direct and from the file neither work. I even tried updating it with the (L6 Monkey) 1.50 version and recieved the same exact error. And if this helps any Line 6 Monkey (both 1.43 and 1.50) does detect my HD Pro as connected. Also, other software such as Guitar Pro, Pro Tools, etc etc detect my HD Pro as the audio device but no sound comes through. Anyone know what's going on with this? Greatly appreciate any help!

by jimsreynolds on 2012-02-01 02:56:59
Maybe this has been tried in your previous post (not sure if I saw it already/commented) but have you tried doing a 'safe mode' firmware update?
Hold the 'down' on the directional keypad when you power your pod on and then do the update.
Also a global settings reset once it has updated --> http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2222">http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2222">http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2222

MP adds voice to army rebasing plea
Updated 12:56pm Tuesday 25th March 2014 in Headlines By Jill Harding
AS the debate about the best location to build 540 new army houses rages on, Claire Perry MP has added her voice to the growing opposition against development on the outskirts of Durrington.
Residents fear the village will get "swallowed up" if huge new estates are constructed on the outskirts and say the houses should be in Larkhill near shops, facilities and the army base.
As part of the Army 2020 project, thousands of soldiers are being brought back to Salisbury Plain from Germany and other bases.
Although much of the accommodation and infrastructure will be built "inside the wire" around 540 new homes are needed.
Local people, councillors, army commanders and Mrs Perry, have all said that building them south of the Packway in Larkhill makes sense.
However, planning restrictions prevent more development south of the Packway due to its proximity to Stonehenge and local people fear suggested sites there will be withdrawn, and building the homes on greenfield land near Durrington is more likely.
"We are delighted to welcome the army back and are glad they are coming to Salisbury Plain," said Larkhill and Durrington councillor Graham Wright. "But they need to live near their work and welfare hub and that is Larkhill, not the edge of Durrington.
"There is a perfectly sensible site in Larkhill that would not be visible from Stonehenge.
"We are frustrated this is being withdrawn; conversations about the possibility of building there should have taken place a year ago.
"People are worried that the gap between Durrington and Larkhill will be closed and our identity will be lost in a great big sprawl."
Residents made their concerns known at a packed public meeting recently, and 740 people have signed an online petition calling for the houses to be built south of the Packway.
On Friday, Mrs Perry looked at the proposed locations and spoke to local people before adding her voice to the campaign. "It is quite clear to me and to others that there is an option here that does not involve a huge greenfield development right next to Durrington," she said.
"We are pleased about the Army 2020 plans for the area but not at the expense of swallowing up our existing communities."
A spokesman for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation DIO which is co-ordinating the consultation said: "DIO is aware of local support for the potential site as well as concerns raised by English Heritage and will evaluate these views ahead of the formation of final proposals.
"DIO is engaged closely with statutory bodies, particularly English Heritage on sensitive issues.
"Once the submitted comments have been evaluated DIO will examine the relevant planning permissions necessary to support the final proposals.
"The formal consultation period will close on 1 April at 12 noon and all of the comments will be considered and the master plan setting out the context for the moves, infrastructure plans and the associated planning applications will be submitted to Wiltshire Council in May."

Old Salisbury Boy says...
Please will someone have the strength to withdraw (or at least re draw) the area from World Heritage status, it has been done before by others, that way we can dual the A303 and build these houses in the sensible logical place!
What real value is there in having UNESCO dictate what can and can't be done, did anyone vote for UNESCO? Do any of the residents of the area have any input?
the simple answer is to withdraw from world heritage status.

Two-time Breeders' Cup Turf winner Conduit represented by first winner
Two-time Breeders' Cup Turf winner Conduit was represented by his first winner on Aug. 17 when Meine Valiente captured a maiden race at Kokura in Japan.
Meine Valiente, a 2-year-old filly owned by K. Thoroughbred Club Ruffian, won by 3 1/2 lengths, finishing 1,200 meters (about six furlongs) in 1:08.30. It was her second career start; she finished third in her debut last month.
Bred by Big Red Farm, which stands Conduit, Meine Valiente is out of the Group 3-winning Meiner Love mare Cosmo Valenti. She is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Dream Valentino and Group 3-placed winner Meine Schokolade.
Conduit, based in Europe during his racing days, invaded the U.S. to capture back-to-back editions of the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2008 and 2009, both at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting. He was also a top-level performer in England, capturing the Group 1 Ladbrokes St. Leger in 2008 and the Group 1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes the following season. The son of Dalakhani retired with seven wins from 15 career starts for earnings of $5,815,813.
Conduit, who was bred in Ireland by Ballymacoll Stud Farm, Ltd., has 88 2-year-olds in his first crop. Nineteen have started as of Aug. 19.
Way to go, Conduit!

The World > Europe > Czech Republic
Calvary of 21st century
Country of Cross (Čestmír Mudruňka)
The Way is situated near Kuks. The whole project came from the initiative of sculptor Vladimir Preclík and was opened in the fall of 2008. In this "open-air gallery" you can see 15 modern sandstone sculptures by 15 different authors, which are implemented as a "reflection on the Cross, carried by the life of every man." It is not a traditional conception of the Cross, but rather the work of carrying a certain philosophical and religious overtones.
Names of all the statues and the names of authors:
Annunciation - Daniel Klose
Veronica's veil - Stanislav Hanzik
Miracle of Ascension - Vojtech Adamec
Crown of Thorns - Ellen Jilemnicka
Cathedral of Prayer - Vladimir Preclik
Holy Family - Jan Koblasa
Light in the Darkness - Ivan Jilemnický
Teardrop - Vaclav Fiala
Redemption - Jan Hendrych
Pieta - Marius Kotrba

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

The XCAR review of 2013: July
A month dominated by German cars, we looked at the Audi RS 6 AND R8 V10 Plus, as well as the Mercedes-Benz SL 350 and G-Class. Also, a mental buggy made an appearance.
First up, the fearsome Audi RS 6.
Now a look at the Mercedes SL -- has it outgrown its name?
The Audi R8 is already brilliant, but adding more...everything in there makes it so very, very good.
And now for something completely different: a buggy called RAGE.
How's about off-roading, German style?

Investing.com - U.S. cotton prices rallied to the highest level since February 2012 on Wednesday, amid growing concerns over tightening nearby supplies in the U.S., the world''s top exporter.
On the ICE Futures U.S. Exchange, U.S. cotton futures for May delivery climbed to a session high of $0.9735 a pound earlier, the strongest level since February 3, 2012. Cotton last traded at $0.9629 a pound during U.S. morning hours, up 2.32%, or 2.2 cents.
The May cotton contract surged 3.84%, or 3.5 cents, on Tuesday to settle at $0.9411 a pound.
Prices of the fiber have been well-supported in recent weeks amid speculation tightening global supplies will fall short of demand.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. produced 12.87 million 480-pound bales of cotton in 2013, 2.4% below an estimate of 13.2 million bales released earlier this month.
Elsewhere, U.S. sugar futures for May delivery jumped 1.47% to trade at a one-week high of $0.1723 a pound, as investors continued to monitor weather and crop conditions in top grower Brazil.
The May sugar contract advanced 0.77% to settle at $0.1697 a pound on Tuesday.
Sugar rallied to a four-month high of $0.1846 a pound on March 6, amid speculation dry weather in Brazil will cut this year's cane crop.
Brazil is the world''s largest sugar producer and exporter, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimating the nation accounts for nearly 20% of global production and 39% of global sugar exports.
Meanwhile, Arabica coffee for May delivery dropped 1%, or 1.8 cents, to trade at $1.7293 a pound. Coffee prices lost 0.62%, or 1.1 cents, on Tuesday to settle at $1.7530 a pound.
The May Arabica contract plunged 13.6% last week after weather forecasts predicted much-needed rainfall in Brazil's main coffee-growing regions.
Arabica prices hit a two-year high of $2.0975 a pound on March 12 as drought conditions in key coffee-growing regions in Brazil was expected to curb output.
Brazil is the world''s largest producer and exporter of Arabica coffee.

{Drunken Noodles}
If you want a great little Thai spot to go for lunch (that is not the famous Little Thai Place), give Noodle Cart a try. The clean and charming little restaurant opened up last year and caught the attention of local patrons right away, winning the accolade of one of Canada's Best New Restaurants as named by Where Magazine.
Their lunch specials are just what you would expect and very reasonably priced between $9.50 to $10.50. My green salad was clean and simple and the red curry was fragrant and rich. One of the delicious things we tried off the lunch menu was the Drunken Noodles (with beef, $12) which is sautéed broad rice noodles with basil, gai lan, garlic, onion, red pepper, tomato and thai chili. It's an exciting dish that will certainly perk up your day.
What distinguishes this restaurant the most perhaps is the wall-to-wall murals of a cartoon version of Khao San Road and other Thai market imagery. Combined with the bright and airy windows, it really makes for a nice little lunchtime escape.
Final Note: I would highly recommend this place for lunch or takeout. Above all else, this place uses the freshest ingredients and truly cares about their quality. Being able to get a taste of an authentic Thai market in a clean and comfortable Victoria restaurant? Hard to beat that! Noodle Cart is located at 1018 Blanshard Street. Call 250-477-3883 for take out orders as well.
Location: Victoria, BC

Clarity.I woke up this morning
and found that I had known
the word for you all along,
that I had known
that your
your lips,
your hands searching
for my hands;
they could only ever
have been called
Six lessons on love.One. Sometimes love will move so slowly
you will stop waiting for its arrival. You will become an
open bar and you will be drained and drained until one
day you open the door to let last night out and love has
left a calling card on the doormat.
Be patient. Let love come to you piece by piece
until you are full to the brim with it.
Two. Some days it will feel
like love has come for you with a wildfire
at its heels. Let it come; you were
meant to burn brighter than any sun or
star we care to name.
Three. Growing back after burning down
is a sign to leave old loves behind. Let them
go kindly. Wrap them up in tissue paper and
ribbon and give them a kiss goodbye. Be gentle but
Do not use maybe. Do not look back.
Four. Love can hurt and you will let it
because you are in love. It will spit venom and
throw fists until you stand up and throw
something back.
Be strong, letting love go is not
Five. Love will sometimes be too much.
It will let y
I just want to be where you are.I don't know
if you're going anywhere
I want to go or what secrets
are buried in the skin
of your wrists,
but I hope
you can find room for
me in the backseat
between the bags
of baggage
the other girls
have left.
Lucidity.The dreams leave
me with scars I can't see,
bruises that don't show,
wounds that can't heal.
I'm carrying ghosts around
in sentences and sleep.
I cannot lie, even to save you.A road runs
from my heart to my mouth,
a bustling bypass of
things I shouldn't say
that flood my mouth
and crash against my teeth,
wave after wave after wave
of me until we are both
drowning in the honesty.
First kiss.I cannot go to
the river bank
where we first
kissed without tasting
you in my mouth.
(Like blood;
thick you stick
to the roof of my
mouth and I can't
rinse you out.)
to know you, all wrongi don't know
what it means
when i say
i must be feeling
the wrong static,
or that i am thinking
of your hands,
shapes of clay
used to
shape the clay
of my white skin,
all wrong.
i just know
i need to believe you
when you said
what we are doing
is wrong
(copy of a copy of a copy)
and we can only do
something wrong
for so long
before the tongues
of fire
wrap tight
round our wrists,
with consequence.
a letter to ethanyou're fifteen minutes away.
that's a quarter of an hour, that's ten miles, that's space enough that i never have to see you again.
but still i feel my heart beating like a rabbit's foot against my rib.
i'm a girl still in denial
of being a woman with
breasts and hips and a womb.
i'm a child with my heart and i will surrender it foolishly
to the first boy to give me roses and push them into my hair.
i don't know how to love,
the way i don't know how how to stop.
but let me tell you this- it happens.
they both do.
i loved your fragile brown eyes like i'd never seen a warmer fire.
i sank my bones like an anchor to your earthly vessel and called it home.
i staggered home drunk every weekend we were together
by word only.
and i felt myself falling apart when i sighed
with sleepy repetition as we exhausted the same jokes as ever,
just a million miles different.
my mind drifted but i loved you.
the feathered finches in my chest were beat
things i don't know about you that bother me thati wonder what it's like
to fall asleep beside you
in a post coital haze,
and to wake in the morning
to run to class.
do you wake me,
do you kiss my forehead,
do we make love again-
i don't know,
not yet.
and do you wet your toothbrush
before applying toothpaste,
tell me you don't leave the sink running,
it must get awfully tired.
and what do you dream of
when i lie next to you,
blissfully more than just a body;
what will you dream of
a year from now?
please tell me i can fit into
your big picture
as easily as i can fit into
your arms,
go to sleep for the love of godi kind of feel like ripping my face off.
it's not one of those sad, suicidal stories. i mean, if i believed in suicide in the way that means i could do it, then yeah, it would be. but i don't, and i guess you're kind of lucky for that because now you can go to sleep with a clear conscience.
i won't ever tell you about how many pages and books and scraps of paper and unsent text messages and notes on the backs of my hands i've written for you, or how inarticulate you were when you wanted to say how you felt. i won't ever tell you how i wished for a few words that could tell me that i was loved, even a little, and i sure as fuck won't ever say that when you managed to pull a few words together for some girl you haven't even touched, well, i won't ever say that all i feel like doing now is unravelling the skin on my arms, down to the bones, and watch as rivers of red fall out of me like stars.
maybe i'd be beautiful enough for you then. i
on being a woman'what's a pretty lady
like you doin' smokin' cigarettes?'
'if i fucked you
for every time i've
you wouldn't think i was such
a lady anymore,
and what's a clever fella like you
doing minding my business for me,
i am not a lady-
i do not curve my appetites,
i do not curve through the waist and hips,
i please for my own pleasure,
i soak in my own sweat,
i fuck for my own glory.
tiddly tum, hidden harems and come,
i am the singular player in my play,
i am the prologue, intermission, and final act
every love i have known has been fueled by
my own fury, every discovery dug up by my own
destiny, every body of water i touched, i touched
with my own skin, i am not domestic, i am imported-
virgin beer on saintly lips, i am not comely nor
forthcoming, i offer my bed to no soldier, i take
what i can and give what i can, i do not plea or
placate or play the victim with my eyelashes-
my father says one day, i will be a lady and
take my rightful place to the left and behind
presumptionsi know i'm a very common-,
innocent-looking girl.
i look like i floss my teeth
at least once a week
and have never worn
thong underwear,
like i devour books like candy
and never talked during class.
it's funny when people are nothing like how they look.
so let me tell you something,
let me set you straight:
i'd have you believe
i'm not some heavily medicated girl
with snakes up and down her body
in bright red rows, all raw and scabbed and
constant, ceaseless, neverending reminders of fucked-up and failure...
but it never took much for you to talk me into bed.
letting you think i'm some perfect porcelain figurine
without cracks all up my spine is about as ok as forging your mom's signature;
meaning it's alright as long as it's nothing serious.
and maybe that's the problem.
playing hopscotch cross-continent all summer and
making a patchwork quilt out of our travels when the cold sets in
is a pretty serious stab at giving us another go.
i can deal with touch, i just might shudder
when tho
revelations in the mudi only want to fall in love
if someone is there
to fall with me.
i want to jump from high places
and pretend i'm flying,
i'm a bird, i'm light enough at-fucking-last
for the air to catch me,
and the harsh grounds beneath me?
can't touch this.
but i'm earthbound
and parachutes will not work
if you do not open them,
and i am just so sick
of feeling like maybe,
becoming an abstract painting
on the rocks below, would be enough...
but there is something beating in my chest.
i'm very afraid of what it is.
and i don't know a lot,
like the size of the universe.
or why you sought solace in the south.
or how i came to be in this crater that swallowed me whole;
but i do know the second you told me
you felt the same for me like i did for you,
something in my universe shifted.
part of my soul went to georgia...
and i began to climb.
the purpose of life is to knock you on your ass
so you have to do something with it to get back up.
i don't know about you,
but i'm pretty fuckin' tired of feelin
the passage of 'you'when i step alone
into my shower,
it's you.
it's you when
i hear the folsom prison blues
and when i drink bitter coffee-
it isn't you
when i sleep in white sheets
and patterned pillows,
a hand in mine
and soft cyrillic letters
to wake me.
it's you in my closet
hidden somewhere in the depths,
it's you in my short hair,
it's you in the photos of ireland
taken by my friends-
but it's not you
when these lips grace my ears
with words softer than you
ever knew,
when these lips grace my face
in softer ways than you
ever knew,
when these lips grace my heart
in softer ways than you
had hardened it.
i am trying to be
a better person
and he is helping me
get there.
one hundred waysthere are one hundred ways
i have to fill myself
that still keep me empty,
and for all the love for you
i hold in my heart,
i treat you like you're nothing.
you have built structures
and outlines of cities to press
against a dark inked sky,
you are the blood of a broken pen
coursing like a river
through my veins.
i look the other way.
i look for holes
in the sweatshirt you gave me
because there are holes in you,
and i wonder if they match up
with mine.
i leave it tucked just
inside of my closet
so that i don't see it
unless i look for it,
but when i do
i pull it in piles
up to my face
to be sure
it still smells like you-
four months later,
it does.
It's still you, I swear.When I light
these cigarettes,
it's you,
and when I sing
songs off-key,
it's you,
but when I roll
over in the night to
find a breathing boy
instead of your
it's not you.
It's you in
my morning coffee
and it's you in
my favourite jeans,
and it's you in the
blisters that form
on my fingers.
Only I have taken
you out of me and turned
you into things I love
and do and read because
I wanted to love him
not you.

Once a union has gained bargaining rights, they can negotiate a contract which says that a new employee must join the union within a certain time period, or be a nonmember under "agency shop." If the contract negotiated says dues are deducted from the employee's wages and remitted to the union, that is because the union has negotiated certain benefits and wages and if employees were not to join the union they would be "free riders." Private business owners can hire whomever they want. If they want union employees, they can hire them. That's how it works in Nevada, a right-to-work state. An employee doesn't have to be a union member to be hired.

Wiley Tuley is a lucky, lucky man.
The retired electronics technician from Cedar Rapids won $200,000 in Thursday�s evening drawing of the Iowa Lottery�s Pick 4 game.
Tuley actually won the game multiple times in the single drawing, which was why his prize was so large. He bought 14 tickets, with three plays per ticket. He played different combinations of the same four numbers - 1, 9, 4, 3, his birth year - for each of the plays. Those four numbers were all winners, which means he won a total of 42 times.
�In all the years I have worked at the lottery I don�t recall anyone winning this many prizes totaling that amount in a Pick 4 drawing,� Iowa Lottery spokesperson Mary Neubauer said.
Pick 4 players can spend different amounts to increase their odds of winning. For example, players can play �straight� or �box� - a �straight� ticket means the numbers the player picks must match in the exact order they are drawn. A more expensive ticket lets players match numbers in any order. There are also combinations of straight and box combinations to choose from.
Because of the way the game works, the odds of winning are greater than for many other Iowa Lottery games like Mega Millions or Powerball, Neubauer said, though the prizes are also smaller.
Tuley purchased seven of the winning tickets from Hy-Vee, 20 Wilson Ave. SW and then went across the street to purchase the other seven at Hy-Vee Gas, 2300 Bowling St. SW.
Tuley, 70, said his wife didn�t believe him when he told her he�d won.
�Her jaw dropped,� he said. �She said, �You�re kidding me.��
He said he has a few ideas for how to spend his winnings but wants to keep them to himself for now. He said winning feels pretty good.
�It feels great, actually,� he said.
Tuley has won the Pick 4 game twice before. In July 2009, he won $24,000 in one drawing, and he won twice in 2010, with a total of $9,125 in prizes from two drawings.�It�s one of the luckiest stories we�ve ever heard,� Neubauer said.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM), has announced that its BPM Suite has been placed in a leadership position in the recent report, "Business Process Management Decision Matrix 2011", from the independent market analyst firm OVUM (Datamonitor Group). This report has highlighted AuraPortal amongst the most prestigious BPM vendors in the global market, including such vendors as IBM, Oracle, Appian and Pegasystems.
AuraPortal surpasses its competitors in all categories but one, "Vertical Specialization", and in the two most important aspects: "Product Quality" and "Value for Money", AuraPortal has obtained the highest score (9 points), situating itself clearly above the next best vendor on a scale of 1 to 10.
From a global perspective, AuraPortal is clearly the leader, with a score of 58.5 points in a competition where four of the nine candidates have scored less than 8 points, and the candidate following behind AuraPortal (Appian) has achieved only 35.5 points in total. According to OVUM, "AuraPortal's performance has been strong: its scores are consistently high for the User Sentiment dimension." The report also says that: "Even more interesting is AuraPortal's presence among enterprises with fewer than 5000 employees, traditionally a BPM blind spot for the larger vendors. This enterprise segment accounts for over 30% of AuraPortal's business, a higher percentage than that reported by any other vendor featured in this report."

Book review: "At the Mercy of the Mountains"
by Betsy Kepes
Mar 18, 2009 — Survival stories are best read in the comfort of your own home, definitely not while you're in the arctic, or drifting at sea in a tiny life raft, or scaling a mountain in a howling blizzard. Betsy Kepes was warm at home sipping tea while she read Peter Bronski's At the Mercy of the Mountains: True Stories of Survival and Tragedy in New York's Adirondacks. She has this review.

Small town papers win fans with focus on community
May 01, 2007 — These are tough times for America's newspapers, which face growing competition from the internet and other electronic media. A new report issued yesterday found that circulation has declined yet again, down by more than three percent at some big-city papers. But in this age of blogs and 24/7 news, one part of the newspaper business seems to be thriving. Small newspapers that offer "hyper-local" content -- everything from baby pictures to neighborhood politics -- are managing to hold their audience. In some towns here in the North Country and around the country, mom-and-pop papers are actually expanding circulation. Brian Mann has our story. Go to full article
Terry Tempest Williams: Breaking into the wild
Apr 30, 2007 — The writer and activist Terry Tempest Williams lives in Wyoming, but she first started visiting the Adirondacks in the early 1990s. She spoke last week at Paul Smiths College, at a program sponsored by the Adirondack Center for Writing. The gathering drew more than 120 people, including college students, writers and environmental activists. In books like The Open Space of Democracy and Leap, Williams argues for a new relationship between humans and the experience of wilderness. Go to full article
The view from inside a North Country prison
Apr 04, 2007 — Here in the North Country, we're surrounded by neighbors most of us never see. Thousands of prison inmates live invisibly in Malone, the Tri-Lakes, Dannemora, Ogdensburg and a half-dozen other towns. In the late 1980s, the novelist and filmmaker Richard Stratton spent more than a year at the Federal prison in Ray Brook, following his conviction for smuggling large quantities of marijuana. Stratton wrote about the experience for the latest issue of Adirondack Life magazine and he spoke with Brian Mann. Go to full article

Adirondack Author, Activist Barbara McMartin Dead at 73
Sep 28, 2005 — Adirondack author and activist Barbara McMartin died yesterday at the age of 73. She had been battling breast cancer for more than two decades. McMartin spent thirty years exploring the region. She wrote more than twenty books, capturing the history and the environmental conflicts of the Adirondacks. She authored and edited a series of popular guidebooks. McMartin also sat on the state's Forest Preserve Advisory committee and served as its chairman. She was honored in 2004 by the Residents Committee for the Protection of the Adirondacks, with an Adirondack Park Defender award. Brian Mann traveled to McMartin's home in Canada Lake last year to talk with about her life and her final book The Privately Owned Adirondacks. Go to full article

It's crazy enough to build your own 3D-milling machine, but to build it out of LEGOs is downright insane.
Arthur Sacek lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and works for Zoom Education for Life. Part of his job involves inventing things made out of LEGO – which makes me wonder what other really cool jobs my high school counselor failed to tell me about.
Back to Sacek's milling machine – except for the bit, everything in it is from the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 building system. In the video below you can see it machine an incredibly life-like statue of a head out of foam. I'll admit, it's not the same as milling something out of wood or steel – but what do you expect from a machine that's made out of plastic?
