Updated: July 30, 2012 6:20AM
Sara Lee Corp. officially split into two companies Thursday, and its U.S. meat business begins regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday.
The company divided into Hillshire Brands Co. (HSH) and a European-based coffee and tea company called D.E Master Blenders 1753.
Hillshire Brands gets the company's popular meat products, such as Ball Park Hot Dogs and Jimmy Dean's sausages, while D.E Master Blenders 1753 will focus on Douwe Egbert coffee, where it gets its name, along with brands such as Senseo and L'OR EspressO.
Other Hillshire Brands products include Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, Hillshire Farm, State Fair, Aidells and Gallo.
While Sara Lee sold off its fresh bakery division about two years ago, Hillshire Brands will continue to sell a limited range of frozen desserts, including the company's famous cheesecake.
The company has plans to move Hillshire Brands from headquarters in Downers Grove to a location in Chicago in 2013, a spokesman for the company said.
The company said its plans include pumping more money into advertising and focusing on product development.
"We envision making Hillshire Brands Company the most innovative meat-centric food company in the U.S.," Sean Connolly, who becomes CEO of Hillshire Brands after the spinoff, said in a news release.
Sara Lee made its name in the 20th century by gobbling up food companies of every shape and kind before it diversified to include apparel, household and body care brands.
In the 1990s Sara Lee had names such as Playtex Apparel, Hanes, Champion and Coach in its collection.
In 2001, the business had net sales of $17 billion and employed 163,000 worldwide. Through the decade, the company sold off businesses to narrow its focus.
By 2010 Sara Lee had sold its apparel, household, body care brands along with its signature fresh bakery division. The next year, Sara Lee announced it would split into two pure-play companies.
Now, Sara Lee Corp. has about 20,000 employees and reports $8 billion in net sales.
After the spin-off, the company expects D.E Master Blenders 1753 to have net sales of about $3.2 billion and 7,500 employees and for Hillshire Brands to have about $4 billion in net sales and 8,500 employees.
By scaling back its product line and slimming down operations, the company can allocate resources to boosting its new name, Morningstar analyst Kenneth Perkins said.
"You have a focused company where everyone's on the same page," Perkins said. The company can concentrate on "differentiating their brands and driving sales growth."
But the strategy hinges on a successful marketing campaign, Perkins said. Otherwise, Hillshire Brands might get lost in aisles filled with more cost-appealing generics as well as bigger-name competition, including Kraft Foods, Tyson and Hormel.
When Hillshire Brands goes live on the NYSE, the big name competition might already be poised to take a bite.
Bernstein Research analyst Alexia Howard said earlier this week that a takeover of Hillshire Brands would be "fairly likely," noting Tyson Foods Inc and Hormel Foods Corp. would come out on top in the event of a takeover.
Tyson did not return calls for comment and Hormel declined to comment on takeover plans.
On Thursday evening the company completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of Sara Lee shares: Every five shares of Sara Lee stock was converted into one share of Hillshire Brands stock.
Sara Lee distributed to shareholders one share of D.E Master Blenders 1753 for each share of Sara Lee stock they held.
Shareholders were also paid a special $3 dividend on D.E Master Blenders 1753 stock.
D.E Master Blenders is expected to begin regular trading July 9. It will be listed on the NYSE Euronext in Amsterdam under the ticker symbol DE.

In Which The Greatest City In The World Is Smaller Than You Think
Studies in Claustrophobia
by KARA VANDERBIJL
On the back of a postcard I scrawl, "New York City: smaller than expected."
That's it; those are the only notes I managed to take during my seventy-two hours in Manhattan. Exactly what I planned for the extensive scribbling I meant to do eludes me now, three weeks of outlining and imagining and remembering later. After beginning this essay a thousand times, I became convinced that the only thing more difficult than living in New York is writing about New York.
It's strange that I should be overwhelmed with the subject when I did find Manhattan petite — a water-lapped gray island of which I could see every last corner from the plane. I spent my weekend there navigating tiny spaces. Restaurant tables were so close together that I stood on tiptoes and bent in awkward angles to get to my seat. In public restrooms (of which there were few), my arms touched the walls on either side of the toilet and I had to duck my head to wash my hands. I stepped out of restrooms into kitchens and backed into bookshelves that doubled as wine cellars.
On the High Line, we walked single file between rows of native shrubs, not-so-native Germans, and two couples taking engagement photos. Behind them, buildings crowded en masse to fit inside the small screen of the digital camera. I covered a distant skyscraper with the tip of my finger, feeling like that primordial ape attempting to catch the toy city whirring around my head.
Below ground, the air was close and smelled like what it sounds like when brakes squeal against iron rails: burnt. The subway cars were long but squat, as if the tunnels had been pressing against their ceilings for decades. Inside one, I slid slowly off the tiny plastic seat into the crush of people talking about work and ugh, really? in Brooklyn? We climbed steep stairs to come up for air. I thought I could smell the Atlantic but I also smelled pizza, sewer, coffee, metal and perfume. New Jersey loomed close over Manhattan's shoulder, the less desirable bank of the river.
Sitting on a stranger's stoop hip-to-hip to eat a slice, we went through a thick wad of napkins mopping up grease. Entering Central Park through the Women's Gate, we caught a whiff of fermenting November leaves and ducks. After a perfunctory stroll, we exited onto 5th Avenue somewhere in the 70s. At a book stand, they were selling stiff new copies of The Great Gatsby with Cugat's original cover, that yellow blue silhouette somehow bigger, somehow brighter than the city blurring into the dusk around me.
Before long the crowds made me feel anxious, and we caught the subway downtown, watching groups of friends get on and off and plan to meet for drinks later. In an exhausted stupor, we lifted miraculously out of our seats at the right stop by the promise of Katz's pastrami on rye and half-sour pickles. The deli was the only thing in New York that was bigger than I thought it would be, tables going on forever, people biting into sandwiches under pictures of Johnny Depp and Bill Clinton and the Kennedys clasping Katz's hand and smiling.
Meat slid out the back of sandwiches, plopping soft onto plates in greasy folds. An Eastern European bus boy, or rather, middle-aged gentleman, came by to shove napkin-covered plates into a dirty tub. At the neighboring table, two ladies compared cosmetics and sipped Diet Cokes. "Hope you have what she had!" crowed a sign above the table where Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan sat in When Harry Met Sally. We hope you'll all have what we're having.
Even after a day during which I had done everything I could think of to experience the city, to feel its pulse underneath all the kitsch, it was here — on this holy kosher-style ground — that I realized I'd been hearing the New York City narrative running through the crowds the whole time, like a half-muffled scream.
It's a survivor's tale, except instead of chopping through jungles to flee a starving tiger, the survivor is a girl crying on the subway, her mascara running down her cheeks, and she's on her way to her entry-level job (which, in Manhattan, is probably located in some basement far below street level). And nobody is looking at her, because she's just another anonymous survivor who won't quit the city because this — this story of living in less-than-humane conditions is what thrills her, this always reaching and never getting is the greatest story she thinks she can write, because after all, this is the greatest city in the world…
This, I think, is what makes it hard to live in and write about New York. The city will always be bigger than you, her sense of self will always be more important than yours, and no matter how many times you laugh at someone who moves away, breathlessly saying, "They just weren't tough enough," a small, stifled part of you wonders if you, too, will be swallowed by this machine that chews, and chews, and chews away at your sanity, your guts spilling out the back into the Hudson like so much pastrami. Writing a New York City story is a study in claustrophobia.
It takes a good ego-squashing to be a writer, but squash someone far enough below ground and they're mining for salt to chew on between paychecks, not stories. There's a name for the condition that makes a person vow To Leave or Never To Leave New York, and it's "identity crisis": when the setting of the story has engulfed its main character. Nor is the main character wholly to blame; everything in New York seems built to induce this crisis, from its perfectly miniature coffee shops blasting Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong down to the lox on your bagel. I worried at the small apartments that had no windows.
In the morning, I woke up early while the city slept on, West Village streets yawning sunbeams into one another, sidewalks stubbly with last night's litter. I took my maps and my empty notebook and stopped at Patisserie Claude to buy a croissant and a cappuccino. From there I wandered to Washington Square Park, where I found the famed monument thinner than its Parisian cousin, living on a starvation diet of pigeons and piano music. At my feet, two squirrels fought over the crumbs from my pastry. The peddler pianist launched into Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
I wondered then, sitting alone on a bench in the sunshine, what I might have been if I had chosen to live here, how I might have molded my life to fit into the narrative of New York City. Would I have become best friends with Ambien or fashioned, out of a budding creative bent, an oxygen mask to filter out the high rent, the four-dollar coffees I finished in two sips? Would I have caught the tiny city whirring in dreams around my head? Would I have sacrificed the morning, my favorite time of day, for Manhattan's endless night?

Radiohead True Love Waits Lyrics
Last updated: 11/30/2013 05:27:25 AM
I'll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Just don't leave
Don't leave
downloaded this song in 2000 | Reviewer: rose | 11/30/13
first downloaded this haunting song in 2000 and the audio was so bad i had to make up some of the words... to me its about living through abuse and even though you are abused you still show unconditional love to your parents or partner because there is no alternative
The REAL meaning of the song | Reviewer: Jonny5 | 10/14/13
This song is about one person who loves another person so much that they would almost do anything for the other person. It is an idealization of love in the mind of the author. The lover states that they would do anything for the lovee (washing feet, wearing sexy clothing) anything, so that the lovee will pay the lover enough attention for the lover to think that he/she is loved. The lover completely believes in the mutual love, but we are left to wonder if the recipient feels the same. The lover sacrifices for the lovee. The lover idealizes the lovee. The lover infantanizes the relationship (cookies and crisps). The lover reaches out in desperation to show their love (just don't leave). Yet we do not know if these pleas are heard. Hence, a great song, and a great lyric. A heart-breaking tale of most-likely unrequited love.
Not as creepy | Reviewer: Rob | 9/4/13
I have to say that I always interpreted this song as being from the girls perspective and so not really about a paedo. The first verse makes no sense for a man to sing unless he is quoting a girl. The mention of crisps and lollipops is what makes me think she is young. I hear it as a young girl having a crush on an older boy and the title is her begging him to wait until she is old enough to be his girlfriend.
We all have our views, I am just stating the way I have always heard it personally.
Song meaning | Reviewer: max1976 | 1/16/13
Thom Yorke actually wrote this song having heard about a case in the UK where a young mother left her small child at home alone for a weekend while she went out partying. Of course people can interpret the lyrics however they wish but this was the story behind the lyrics. Hence the line 'true love lives on lollipops and crisps' which the child was eating when the police arrived.
I love you and time cannot "shut down" my love for you. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/1/12
What happens is that he and the other person are not together for some reason and he asks her through this song to wait. He'll do anything ao that he won't loose her. Have babies although he doesn't want to, drown his beliefs, in few words he would do things he never thought he was able to do just so that he won't loose her. The only thing he asks in return is that she waits for him, because they trully love each other. Some relations need time, because a person is too scared to trust their partner with their heart-after all nobody wants to get his heart broken... Sometimes we just need time to see the imperfection of the other person before we get into deep waters, because when we do, there is no way to get out.
He is not living, he is just living time because he is not with her, yet. And true love waits in hUnted attcs means that it never dies. True love lives on lollipops and crisps-personally my favourite part of this song-is about how we can be happy without money or anything. We are grateful since we have The person next to us. Our reallity is too perfect just because we have that person that makes our world hang upside down...
I want my person to tell me to wait. I am at the point of giving up and I want to move on but he wants us to last for a long time and we have to get to know each other better so that can happen. I found this song and I am trying to pursuade myself to wait up for a little longer but the truth is that I don't want to wait anymore, just wanna be with him, that's my only wish...
There are a few voices here - possible interpretation | Reviewer: Spock | 11/28/12
First verse: Young Christian woman/girl expressing her love for an older man. She'll do anything to keep him just as long as he doesn't leave.
Second verse: Older man honoring her beliefs, she's probably not 'legal' and he is willing to wait, not able to enjoy the life he wants with her...yet.
Third verse: Reflects on the relative position of the two.
Chorus: Don't we all have a deep need for connection? These two need each other - they're each filling some need in the other or mourning a loss that they are trying to reclaim, maybe a father figure, maybe the retreat of youth.
A different idea | Reviewer: Lucian | 10/16/12
Well it's gotta be about just love that is not possible, and talks about the aspects about falling in love that will manifest itself in everything you enjoy, and some parts of it will exist in places where you need to put them away because they cant exist now. True love will wait for the time when it will exist on the other end as well.
true love waits | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/21/12
this song was just dedicated to me by a very special person, and i think is an amazing beautiful song, i good song writer can write a song that any body can make it their own. jus like this song it discribes exactly what my special person and i are going true. I love it, now i know that he really loves me.
Perception | Reviewer: Passionista | 6/28/12
It's interesting to note the many and varied responses about this song as I myself googled the lyrics because I couldn't understand what he was saying.
What I take from this song is absolutely about "True Love" between two people who love each other in a world where society has moulded people into robots and not knowing and understanding the true nature of what love is suppose to be like and through much confusion are left with something hinting at what true love is. Not knowing or.understanding the real meaning of love, his assumption is more like many played out episodes from a soap opera or indeed his own experience as a child looking at his parents.
There is a real understanding of love here yet he dosn't fully get it, never- the-less...he ifeels it.
unreconciled love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/13/12
there is definitely a level of frustration in this song. --> 1st verse is about what he's willing to do to be with her (drown my beliefs, dress like a neice, wash feet). --- 2nd verse is his analysis of how he is spending his life. he's living a life for someone else, but shes not living her life for him, he just keeps spending time with her killing time. Tiny hands and crazy kitten smile are the cheap cute things that keep him coming back. --- 3rd verse brings this scenario full circle, A guy who loves a girl (for murky, unclear reasons) who doesn't love him but she's still a friend on some level or at least someone he sees often. The 'love lives in an attic', untouched, because she refuses to receive it. It 'lives on lollipops and crisps', positive connotations that refer to happier times.
Fahrenheit 451 | Reviewer: stagga | 4/25/12
The line "I'm not living, I'm just killing time" is a slight alteration of a quote from this Ray Bradbury novel- also alluded to in the cover of Amnesiac (the library book packaging)
I'm pretty sure it's "I'll dress like your nurse" though isn't it? That makes more sense than niece.
Unstupid | Reviewer: Cody | 12/1/11
A lot of these interpretations are just slightly creepy...The 'tiny hands and kitten smile' I wouldn't think would be referring to a child...A girl's hand is tiny, smaller than a guy's while girl's also have a cute kitten smile. 'True love waits in attics'; True love waits in depression till someone goes looking for it again. 'True love lives in lollipops and crisps'; love lasts with happiness and joy. Now, the first verse is interesting and more difficult. If it was indeed written out of anger, then it would be him expressing his frustration, showing how much he'd do to keep this girl, even with a painful past showing his swollen feet from a painful journey...Sounds a bit more down to earth and such. Every song can be made out to be about a pedo -_- its annoying.
Whatever | Reviewer: Steve | 11/17/11
Not sure on some of these posts.....not sure if some understand the beauty of music....u will never know truly what the song writer meant......and that's the beauty of music....when it's good, u can make it your's....make it mean what u want.......I'm in a tragic divorce with small children involved.......I don't want .....
..the lollipops and crisps line reminds me of the true love I have for my children.........."don't leave".....well that's my wife........this a great song and only should be that........a great song to whoever is moved by it.........that's all....I'm pretty sure Yorke has no clue who I am when he wrote this......but it means the world to me........and I don't care what he wrote it about; because I made it mine.........and that's why Thom Yorke does what he does..............
It's Magic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/20/11
Thom Yorke is the greatest songwriter of his generation, trying to understand his thought processes is like trying to understand Quantum Mechanics. Just listen to his beautiful music and feel what it means for you, if you don't like it, don't listen to it.
just a thought | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/9/11
What if this song is about pedophilia?
"I'll drown my beliefs, to have your babies."
This person is willing to ditch every hint of moral wrong doing to be with this younger significant other and even have a child with this person. It's pointed out that he's just killing time and not living. This is all in respects to his significant other's tiny hands and kitten smile, a mark of a youth. He is just going to wait for the, so to speak, "big hands" and "cat smile." The third verse is just about how love is brewed from a wholesome heart, love is innocent (lives off lollipops and crips, both of which are things you enjoy during your innocent stages). The third verse could also be a reference to that boy-stuck-in-attic-who-waits-for-his-parents story. In that case, verse three implies that love needs to be patient and persevering, even during abysmal times. All the while, the words "Just don't leave" and "True love waits" suggests strongly that the subject is wiling to wait for the maturity of his significant other to arrive and hopes that, during this time of waiting. they won't drift apart.

|The vocal V12 is a mix of the mechanical and the musical, responding full-bloodedly, barking as you tread harder
So we're in deepest Essex to find out exactly what this unique escapee is like to drive. The Lamborghini 400GT Monza is a car that we featured in Octane issue 30 before it went on sale at Bonhams' London auction in 2005 (see panel on page 112), following Simon Kidston's excellent work in recovering it from its resting place in deepest Spain, where it had been discovered in 1996. Last time, we parted company with the Monza saying: 'This Lamborghini is itching to share its secrets with a new owner – and we hope one day we may even get to drive it.'
That day has come. Martin smiles warmly as he meets us, and enjoys the fact that we're so impressed by the 400GT Monza. It's freshly washed, and the V12's been warmed up in anticipation of our drive. Even at first glance it looks like a car that sits comfortably in the Lamborghini timeline, without the familiarity of other concepts that gained greater fame, such as the Marzal and Bravo. Those cars were obvious motor show fantasies with outlandish detail and dramatic proportions, whereas the 400GT Monza looks to all intents and purposes like a production-ready car.
This, the carrozzeria Neri and Bonacini's 350GT-based special (with the engine of a 400GT 2+2), was built during 1966, allegedly for an American who wanted to take it racing. Problem was, he couldn't get the car homologated. As a result, chassis 01030 was displayed at the 1967 Barcelona Motor Show, and was bought off the stand by a wealthy – and publicity shy – Spaniard, who wanted it for his personal collection, and couldn't stomach the delay for a new Miura.
Between its brief period of fame under the glare of the motor show spotlight and being bricked-up in its owner's garage in 1970, the 400GT Monza covered a mere 7136km – a reading that was still displayed on the odometer when Martin successfully bid on the car back in 2005. Now it reads over 10,000km. Excellent. Lamborghinis have always been built for driving, not showing off.
Martin's approach to recommissioning was simple: 'The fluids and plugs were changed, then the seized clutch and brake hydraulic systems were overhauled,' he says. 'It passed its MoT on the original tyres, and still has the original exhaust fitted.'
This work was completed in the months running up to Simon Kidston's 40th anniversary tour for the Miura, and the Monza joined the eye-catching convoy as it travelled across the Alps from Gstaad to catch the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. It's a testament to the solidity of the car, as well as Martin's determination, that the Monza not only made it to the event but drove the punishing course and finished in one piece. It wasn't completely without problems, though. The electrics proved troublesome – understandable in a car that lay unused for 35 years.
Yet Martin wasn't content with taking the Monza to Monaco, and pushed east to Lamborghini's birthplace in Sant'Agata. 'The enthusiasm shown for the Monza in its homeland was touching. During an overnight stop at Rapallo, the locals declared their affections in the dusty paintwork with inscriptions such as bella.'
But the trip's highlight was visiting the Lamborghini factory. 'We spent the day at Sant'Agata, talking to Fabio Lamborghini and Valentino Balboni, who were delighted to see the car running again. Motoring nirvana had been achieved,' smiles Martin.
Almost five years on, Martin's still just as passionate about the 400GT Monza. We can totally understand why – and although some commentators have said the styling of this one-off is slightly awkward, we'd disagree. The proportions are classic grand tourer, with hints of Bizzarrini 5300GT and Ferrari 275GTB/4 thanks to its long nose and gracefully low-line Kamm tail. And there's enough Miura in its appearance for even casual Lamborghini fans to recognise it as one of their own.
It's especially interesting from the rear, with buttresses and a Perspex screen that combine to establish a family likeness with the Miura. It could easily have been styled to look like the perfect GT partner to the first definitive supercar.
Yet this car, a two-seater like the 350GT, should never be confused with the 400GT 2+2. Although the engine is the same and the cars look similar, the 400 was significantly different from the 350GT on which this car was based – it had a lowered floorpan and raised roof to accommodate its rear seat; a reshaped roof, rear window, and bootlid; and its transmission and differential were produced in-house.
These details matter, as identifying the 400GT Monza is an interesting task. Record-keeping at small manufacturers has always been haphazard – updates and changes can be dictated by engineering, or merely by the availability of a given part on a particular day. In addition, the unique build process for a one-off means that the paperwork is not always as thorough as it might be.
Martin Kent 's own research means the International Lamborghini Registry now accepts the car as a 400GT 'interim', of which 23 were built with standard bodywork. It has a 4.0-litre V12, Lamborghini gearbox and differential, but it sits on a modified 350GT chassis.
So the 400GT Monza is something of an enigma. The dramatic styling smacks of supercar excess, despite the gran turismo template it's been crafted out of. But the driving experience is biased towards trans-continental thrashes, which it was clearly designed for.
The bull bars that adorned the front and rear of the car have thankfully gone – and the 'Jarama' badge fitted by its first owner has been replaced by a beautiful replica of the original, intricate 'Monza 400' script.
Inside, the bespoke theme continues. The seating position is low – lower than in the Miura – and the dashboard is a businesslike affair, all black leather and sprinkled with toggle switches and unlabelled warning lights. The main instrument pack is a thing of beauty, coming straight from the 350GT; Lamborghini-badged and distinguished by that car's stylised script and topped by a 300km/h speedometer.
Getting comfortable isn't straightforward as there's limited headroom, but there's plenty of legroom – it was engineered for endurance racing at Le Mans, after all, or so the story goes – and Martin, who's 6ft 2in tall, looks comfortable once installed behind the gorgeous wood-rimmed wheel.
Firing up the V12 is a familiar experience for Lamborghini fans. The starter whirrs and you'd swear that it's not going to catch, but the engine gradually takes up falteringly, almost apologetically at first. It's a lovely mix of the mechanical and the musical, and once the fuel's flowing freely, and you're able to blip the throttle cleanly, the vocal V12 responds full-bloodedly, barking as you tread harder. It doesn't explode with revs quite like the Miura, nor does it shriek in the same way at high engine speeds, but it's still something very special indeed.
It's a 3929cc version of the V12 that had been introduced in the Miura in 1965, but running a softer state of tune. Power is 320bhp through the sidedraught Weber carburettors used in the 350GT (as opposed to 350bhp with downdraughts as used in the Miura) and, although this is an Italian SAE figure of the '60s, it's probably a good bet that there are still well over 280 horses under the bonnet, capable of taking this car to well over 150mph.
On the road it certainly feels that way. Acceleration is every bit as rapid as the standard 400GT, and it feels fully able to sprint from rest to 60mph in under 7.0sec, pulling with real commitment from less than 3000rpm. It's a true supercar experience. But what impresses more than the deep-chested performance is the way the 400GT Monza feels on Essex's undulating and subsiding B-roads.
You would expect the body and chassis to flap around like a loose collection of ill-fitting parts, but the reality is that the 400GT Monza feels of-a-piece. The ride is as good as you could reasonably expect it to be for a '60s GT car – pliant over lumps, forgiving of undulations – and the damping is well-controlled. This leaves the driver feeling confident to push, safe in the knowledge that it won't misbehave too much at speed on lumpy corners. Martin describes it as a 'front-engined Miura', and he's certainly on to something.
Whatever the story is behind the 400GT Monza (and you can read our original feature on www.octane-magazine.com), it still stacks up perfectly well as a supercar today. It has the dramatic looks and huge reserves of power to tick those boxes, and makes you feel special when you drive it. As Martin says: 'I love jumping in for a drive whenever the mood and the weather combine and I've added those kilometres usually with the window down, enjoying the music.'

Former Virginia tennis star Jarmere Jenkins is moving on at his first-ever appearance at the US Open.
On Tuesday, Jenkins advanced to the second round of qualifying by defeating Austria's Gerald Melzer 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. Jenkins will now face Julian Reister of Germany in Round 2.
"Finally got my first singles win at the US Open. So hungry and motivated for another one," Jenkins wrote on Twitter Tuesday night.
Reister advanced with a 6-7, 6-4, 6-0 win over fellow German Tim Puetz in the first round of qualifying.
Jenkins ended his senior season at UVa ranked No. 1 in the ITA singles rankings, and finished as the NCAA singles runner-up. He and Mac Styslinger teamed up to win the doubles national championship, and Jenkins was also a member of UVa's first-ever NCAA title-winning team.
Last month, Jenkins was named the 2013 ACC male athlete of the year, becoming just the fifth UVa athlete all-time to earn that award.

Return to story
RICHMOND--Gov. Bob McDonnell says the only people who question a governor's "legacy" are staff and the press.
But he's heading into his last legislative session as governor, his last chance to make any changes in Virginia that require legislative approval. Sure, he'll write a full two-year budget a year from now, but he'll have to leave it in others' hands--he'll be out of office before it even gets a hearing.
In an interview in his Capitol Square office, McDonnell said he's not worrying about his legacy or his dwindling time in office.
He's using his last session to push through structural changes to two large areas of state government: transportation and K-12 education.
Already, McDonnell has hinted at the transportation package he has yet to unveil--it will generate about $500 million a year in new revenue for roads, he says, and he wants at least $48 million of that to come through pulling some extra revenue from the current sales tax out of the general fund and into transportation. He's not the first governor to push for a fix to the long-standing problem of transportation revenue--former Gov. Tim Kaine tried several times during his term. Like Kaine, McDonnell will have to sway a Republican House that dislikes tax increases, and a divided Senate that doesn't want to shift money to transportation from the general fund.
"I'm hopeful that we'll have a road package that will pass this year. We're out of time, out of excuses," McDonnell said. "The obligations at this point just can't be met, and ultimately it's affecting our ability to create jobs."
While at least one legislator has talked about a transportation proposal that would give the legislature veto power over tolls, McDonnell doesn't sound ready to make a trade on his tolling authority. He has applied for, and received, federal approval to put toll booths on Interstate 95, but the proposal is getting a lot of blow-back from residents around the proposed location in Sussex.
"A reasonable use of tolls is a proper way to build transportation infrastructure. We've used it very sparingly in Virginia, overall. It is used widely around the country and around the world," McDonnell said. "I do understand the citizens' concerns. If you have a free road now and you're asked by the state to pay a toll, of course you're going to have a concern. But I'm more concerned about the safety improvements that need to be made on I-95, and at this point I am generally out of options. The General Assembly has not provided the resources that I've asked for and that are needed to properly maintain and construct road infrastructure."
McDonnell has also already announced some K-12 proposals--raising teacher pay by 2 percent but linking it to changes in the teacher probation and evaluation process. McDonnell says he'll also have other education bills on issues like school choice. Transportation and education reform, he said, are his top two priorities for the session.
"I looked at this session and said, 'What are some of the major structural problems facing Virginia that we have not fixed?'" McDonnell said. "We'll have a hundred other bills, but those are the things that I think going forward if we do those right and get those done, that will lay a great foundation for future jobs and future opportunity."
McDonnell can set his agenda for his last session, but current events are bringing other issues to the fore. The recent school shootings in Newtown, Conn., have prompted McDonnell to create task forces to study school safety and mental health. And individual lawmakers are planning to propose changes to the state's gun laws.
McDonnell got widespread attention last week for saying, in a radio interview on WTOP, that the possibility of allowing teachers or school staff to carry guns should be considered.
During The Free Lance-Star interview in his office, he said that he was just answering a question, and that he's not advocating any policy changes at this point.
McDonnell said he wants the school safety task force to work quickly, though, to give time for any needed changes or additional funding during the 45-day legislative session. He said that before the Connecticut shootings, he had put additional funding for some mental health needs into his budget. Through grants to localities, his proposals would add dollars for crisis services for adults and children, child psychiatry and in-home services, and expanding a discharge program to help those leaving state hospitals.
McDonnell faces criticism from Democrats for his decision not to have Virginia create a state-based health exchange under the federal health care law, and his reluctance to expand the Medicaid program. He said he doesn't trust the federal government's promise to cover most costs for the expansion for several years, nor does he support expanding a system that he thinks is inefficient at best.
"They've got to be willing to do a lot more with flexibility and waivers. I'd prefer they just block grant Medicaid [but] I see no receptivity to doing that," McDonnell said.

I have bored people with my thoughts on Bopara in several various threads in months gone by, and wouldn't dream of droning on again, suffice to say I am a big fan of Ravi and believe he does deserve another opportunity to prove once and for all if he can cut it at the very highest level, I believe he can.

The pilot added full throttle to avoid mountainous terrain, but the powered parachute would not climb. The pilot stated that it was similar to being hit by a downdraft. The nosewheel of the aircraft subsequently clipped a bush, which resulted in the aircraft impacting terrain.

DIY camera bag insert
The photo series is on my Flickr page, with some helpful descriptions and mouse-over-notes on the photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/czeglin...7619327939335/
Basically, I wanted to have a Domke style insert for a bag I had laying around, without spending a bundle. I looked around the net and some local stores for foam, and it seemed that if I actually bought all the supplies I needed new I may as well just buy the Domke insert(s), because the cost savings wouldn't be significant.
Ultimately I decided to scrounge what I could. I found an old camping pad, about 3/8" thick. This seemed just right to me. I knew I wanted to reinforce the bottom with a second layer of foam, as well as a thin sheet of plastic for stiffness and extra protection. I found a cheapo poster frame from my wife's college days. The front cover was about 1/32" thick--exactly what I was looking for. I took it out and cut out the piece I needed.
As for design, I measured the inner dimensions of the bag and figured out how much space I would have left after the foam sections were in place. I decided on two large sections for lenses and camera, and a smaller one that would hold my flash. I designed the dividers about 2" shorter so that the camera back would be flush with the top of the insert when mounted lens-down.
I cut out two fabric pieces for each insert. My mother in law helped me sew the fabric into pockets for the inserts. Each pocket had generous amounts of extra fabric on the sides and bottom to allow them to be sewn to each other. One side was left open to insert the foam later. Since it would have been impossible to sew the completed panels together, I sewed the pockets together with the foam removed. I started with one outside corner and worked my way around in a circle, sewing only the vertical seams. It was a bit trickier to do the seams including the dividers. The dividers had to be lined up so that they were recessed a bit, plus those seams included three flaps of fabric, rather than two. Once this stage was complete, I filled all the panels with foam. I was able to sew the bottom of all exterior panels shut with the sewing maching, but the recessed dividers had to be done by hand.
For the bottom panel I sandwiched the thin sheet of plastic between two layers of foam and stuffed it in a fabric pocket with 4 wide flaps to attach to the bottom of the assembly. The main section was designed so the bottom panel would be recessed inside. I didn't want it to meet the main section corner-to-corner, because then the edge would be unpadded. I hand sewed the bottom panel in place. This took a long time.
Finally, I hand sewed all the rough edges so the cloth would stop fraying. The synthetic stuff I used frayed horribly and got all over everything, so leaving it rough was not a smart option.
If I had to do it again, I would make it slightly smaller so it didn't look quite so square when loaded into the bag. Also, I would make the fabric pockets differently. I would sew an oversized three-sided pocket. I would then turn it inside out. I would then sew seams about 1/2" in from the edges to create the flaps used to attach to the other panels. This would result in nice finished edges without me having to go back and do it by hand.

Warlord's Sword Lyrics - Ultimatum
Sacred steel, the blazing sword, the swift two edged blade.
At the hands of the LORD, will pierce the caverns of your soul.
Bring's conviction, bleeds the sin, cuts you to the core.
Reveals the darkness of your heart, and points you to the LORD.
Warlordís Sword/The Word of Truth,
Wars against the flesh.
Warlordís Sword/The Spirit's Call,
Put's you to the very test
Crafted perfect in every way, no flaw is found within.
Tested in the fires of time, the opposition cannot win.
Stronger than steel and forged by God, for the battles we must fight.
Waging war upon the flesh, His ways are always right.
Declaring war on His Word, with truth they have their fight.
Wisdom calls but can they hear?
Who can battle with His might?
For by the Word we shall live or by it we shall die.
Will you join the Warlord's side, or will it you despise.

text: Lyte's first LP, and a hip hop classic that needs no introduction from us. Lyte raised the bar for female rappers on this late 80s album with her mic skills and lyrical finesse that took female MC's into a whole new realm, beyond "Roxanne" answer tracks. She takes on Roxanne Shante on "10% Dis", a classic battle track that sparked a great answer cycle in its own right. And the production, mostly by Audio Two is pure minimalist hip hop beatmaking, while the King Of Chill comes correct with the dopest side stick in the history of programmed beats on "Paper Thin", and Prince Paul goes nuts with the horn stabs on one of his earlier beats, "MC Lyte Likes Swingin'". 10 tracks in all, this LP also includes "I Cram To Understand You", "Kickin 4 Brooklyn", "Lyte As A Rock", "Lyte Thee MC", "I Am Woman", "Lyte Vs. Vanna Whyte" and "I Am Woman". (Cover has a cutout notch, promo stamp, and clear tape on the opening.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Listen to the rain ( from 1990 ) Lyrics - Kenny Rogers
Listen to the rain (1990)
( Ewing / Sampson )
Listen to the rain
There's something in the rhythm
Something so inviting in the music that it makes
As it whispers on the window
Like a voice inside my heart
I hear it begging me to stay
How can we deny
There is anything but right
Just listen, listen to the rain.
Listen to your heart
Tell me what you need
I can feel it beating as it thunders in the dark
As the storm outside grows stronger
I can't take it any longer
Let me hold you in my arms
And let the passion rage
There's no need to be afraid
Just listen, listen to the rain..
Flashes of desire fill the sky
As I watch the lighting dance within your eyes
And the rain just keeps on playing as refrain
Oh, echo in the love we just made
While we listen.
Listen to the rain
It hasn't quite stopped falling
And the distant wind is calling as we slowly drift away
Baby, close your eyes, and here is lullaby
Just listen, listen to the rain.
How can we deny …

Due to the recently discovered Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL, Overture has performed an audit of its externally facing portals and released product offerings. Overture has determined that none of these systems uses the affected version of OpenSSL. Therefore, interaction with Overture and its products should pose no exposure to this vulnerability.
In an earlier posting, I wrote about the importance of a quick response time when fielding calls from Carrier Ethernet service providers needing assistance. As anyone in a technical customer care role will tell you, our customers don't care how much we know until they know how much we care. I have always felt response times are one of the most important measures of how much a vendor cares about their customers and their business.
When businesses discuss their value proposition, they often first discuss the specific products they provide and the niche they might fulfill for customers. In the Carrier Ethernet equipment business, terms like "low latency", "high-availability", "flexibility" and "resiliency" are often used to describe a company's product offering and they're certainly important attributes to build into a solid product. However, more than ever before a company's service and support capabilities are being weighed by customers looking for remarkable Carrier Ethernet solutions.

Per several reports, Indiana notched a pair of commitments that leaked out Friday, one of which happened Wednesday.
Ocala (Fla.) West Port offensive lineman Delroy Baker released his decision via Twitter in the morning. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound guard was down to Florida and the Hoosiers, and in a surprise move strayed from the Gators.
Before announcing his finalists, Baker had offers from Miami, Florida State and other, more established programs. It came down to relationships and a feel for the program, he told Luke Stampini of 247Sports.com.
"I chose Indiana because after the first hour of being there, I felt like this is where I belong," Baker told Stampini. "It's just my gut feeling, and thankfully, everything else fell into place."
Another, lesser-known commitment gave his pledge to IU a couple days ago. Willie Yarbary, a 6-foot-2 defensive end out of Academy of Richmond (Ga.) County, picked the Hoosiers earlier in the week, but news of it did not surface until Friday.
The two latest commitments bring IU's class to six, including three three-star prospects, according to 247Composite, a service from 247Sports.com that aggregates rankings from four major recruiting sites into one composite ranking.
Four of the future Hoosiers are top-100 prospects in the class at their positions.

Teen Struck, Killed While Trick-Or Treating With Friends
November 1, 2013 8:52 AM
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say a 17-year-old Spartanburg High School student has died after she was hit by an SUV while trick-or-treating with friends on Halloween.
Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger says Erica Adrianna Fields was walking along the road when she was hit by an SUV at around 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
The teen was pronounced dead at the hospital about an hour later.
The Spartanburg Department of Public Safety is still investigating, and no charges have been filed.

"Skins" recap (4.06): JJ Jones and the Final Frontier
And if you think that meeting went poorly, wait until Lara meets JJ's parents. But first: "Your friends are weird," she says. (Remember last year, what JJ said to Freds when he found him shagging Katie? "I'm the normal one!")
And maybe he is. And maybe so is Lara. And maybe JJ's mum could have liked her. She liked Emily, after all, that morning with the toast. But the baby throws her, and even JJ's dad looks up from his newspaper. They both kind of accidentally call Lara a slut, so she leaves to change the baby, but can't get into the toilet because the Hairless Bandit is in there shaving his chest.
Lara bounces, and JJ's mum is like, "James, aren't you supposed to be in prison?"
The second best love story on this show has always been Freddie/JJ/Cook. It's something we never get to see on TV, guys just adoring each other and sacrificing for each other and taking care of each other. Yeah, they all fell under Effy's Dark Magic and that cracked things up for a long time, but even so, they always loved each other best.
Cook is wearing JJ's pajama pants, the ones with the bears on them.
Cook: You're a man, aren't ya, Screaming J? A man of flesh and blood and fight — spunk. hair. fists. J, you find this Liam twat and you have it out with him, man-to-man.
JJ: Like you and Freddie did with Effy? A lot of good it did. She went mad.
Touche, JJ.
Cook packs up and leaves for The House of Fun, and JJ takes his advice and goes to StuffMart to beat the crap out of Liam. Shockingly, Lara doesn't find this attractive in the least.
Back at home, JJ's dad gives him a pep talk that's slightly better than Cook's, but Cook's speech apparently included some excellent shagging tips, so we'll call it a wash. Michael Jackson sings a little about starting with the man in the mirror, which wakes JJ's dad out of his decades-long slumber, and JJ radios home: "Let's refuel this g-d d–n ship!"
Apparently JJ's mothership is the headquarters of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. They heed his call and come to his aid, and outside Lara's window late that night, they perform a pretty excellent rendition of Spandau Ballet's "True," which is not only the single greatest song of the '80s, but is 100 percent guaranteed to get you laid if you put it on a mix CD.
Lara is annoyed, impressed, moved, and she runs out into the street and kisses JJ good and long. They hurry upstairs and crawl all over each other all over the bed. Emily told JJ he never asked for things, and so he did. He finally, finally did. Some things he didn't get. (They still ruffle his hair. Effy didn't leave them alone.) But some things he did. Sex with a lesbian? Check. Sex in outer space? Check. Captain's log: This is the sound of my soul. This is the sound.

You have a serial cheater for a WW. And one who learned nothing from episode 1. If she's serious about counseling, that's good, but I'd question if she's more concerned about losing her safety net of a home. Read about "cake eating" in many threads here.
You can and will go on without her if you choose to do so. You cannot control her behavior, only yours. That's the lesson the 180 teaches you, Read up on it in the healing library and think about its implementation. She'll either leave or attempt to reconcile if you are firm with her. Don't let tears and rugs weeping sway your decision this time.
Also contacted a lawyer. One hour advising session with the senior partner is $500. One hour with the associate partners is $250. Is it normally that expensive to seek legal advice with a good law firm?
[This message edited by Schadenfreude at 8:16 PM, May 14th (Wednesday)]
Yes, call around and get other lawyer fees. $500 is pretty steep. $250 with the associate would be better. The only difference is most likely the number of years out of law school. The more years they have been attorney's, the higher their fee sometimes...At least that is what someone told me.
If you know of anyone who had to get divorced, ask them if they can recommend a lawyer.
I had narrowed down mine to two choices. One was experienced at mediation if my WW stayed amicable, the other who charged 450/hr and was a real pit bull, who represented pro athletes, should my WW become a total bitch. None of them charged me for the first consult. Fortunately, I ended up using the mediator specialist.
For me, telling someone eliminated a lot of internal negative conflict. I realized it wasn't the end of the world. It really helped me and I would highly suggest it. I hope you can find comfort and there is someone you can tell in person. I just worry if all that conflict and pressure isn't released it can manifest in really bad ways.
I also found sharing here on si was really helpful. Best of luck to you.

I told my wife we can go to her work place to see this guy together. She doesn't want to do that. She'd rather do everything over the phone, but she hasn't done this yet either. I'm pretty sure she's already contacted this guy and warned him. She tells me she's sorry all the time but doesn't seem to do anything to prove it and help us move forward.
I know I keep too much stuff inside me. I'm still not comfortable with telling anyone I know. If I told someone, it would be my mom but that might cause more issues down the road. I'm glad I'm able to post here and share. It helps me a lot.
I don't feel too strong right now. There are times when I feel like I'm having some kind of anxiety attack. My heart starts beating fast and I start breathing heavy. Sometimes it happens when I'm at work and I can't do anything.
Of course. Your world has been shaken, its traumatic psychological chaos. I couldn't function for close to 6 months adequately. I obsessed over every detail. Went through all the gyrations trying to understand the unthinkable and it sucked. You need to find a way to care for yourself. Do things you enjoy, force yourself to eat, exercise. This shit isn't for the faint at heart. She put a dagger through your heart and destroyed your marriage. That is rough.
I told my wife we can go to her work place to see this guy together. She doesn't want to do that. She'd rather do everything over the phone, but she hasn't done this yet either. I'm pretty sure she's already contacted this guy and warned him. She tells me she's sorry all the time but doesn't seem to do anything to prove it and help us move forward.
Look this may seem counter intuitive. But why does she have a say in how any of this goes down? Of course she has warned him, and she's hoping to manage this so she can save face and avoid giving up anything. YOUR IN CHARGE! If you want to go face to face. DO IT. If you want to call do that. She lost her say in the marriage when she decided to fuck dip shit. She is free to leave, but her staying is on YOUR terms. The sooner you realize that the sooner you can see if she will follow through with behaviors to fix this.
Watch her, her actions will tell you if she is in. If not, move forward to protect yourself.
I'm thinking I may need to install spyware on her phone. I hate thinking about doing it but I feel like I need to know the truth. Has anyone used this before and is it effective?
So she cheated once, now she's cheated again and you just want to forget about everything and move on?
Guess what's going to happen again.
There were no consequences for her actions last time, there will be no consequences this time and she's still working at the same place..why?
She quits her job, she writes a no contact letter, she gives you access to phone, email, passwords and she goes to MC.
These are non negotiable. She refuses. You file for divorce because you just "forgetting" about it and moving on means she's only going to do it in the future or go underground with this affair.
Your wife is a liar and cheater.
Treat her like one.
Go to your states website and print out your states divorce forms.
Leave them on the kitchen table.
Tell your wife that if she does not straighten out that you will be filing for divorce.
Tell her you want the marriage to work but it takes two to make a marriage.
She needs to prove to you she wants to be married and part of your family.
Then watch her actions.
You should put a var in her car and spyware on her phone.
You will have your answer shortly.
And yes you should DNA your kids just to be on the safe side.
Has your wife been tested for std's?
I'll probably use some of the tracking tools that you mentioned, but since she's working in the same place with him she's probably going to be very careful and go underground.
Up until now, she's been telling me she hasn't even talked to him since she started working there again. I know it's just lies.
We have three kids that I love and many years together where I thought we were happy. It's hard for me to just give up on everything.

I told my wife, I want to forget about everything in the past and just move forward, and I mean it.
She thinks she can do what she wants, be discrete and no problems.
Under no circumstances do you give your WW advance notice of anything you plan to do.
Can you tell her to quit this job? If that is economically doable, she should quit working with the OM.
Does she come home on time after work. Can you be there unannounced at lunch.
You're story is so much like mine. Like you I was willing to do whatever it took to keep my family together. Even if that meant swallowing my pride. My family is everything to me. If you really want a change in your relationship with your wife, meaning respect, loyalty and healing? You must start with the 180. No matter how hard it is to be hardened and cold you must stand your ground. One of two things will happen. She'll either quit her games or she'll continue her distructive behavior. Unfortunately for me I waited 22 years before I found SI and realized I've been sabotaging my own marriage by trying to be the ONLY one trying to make changes in my marriage. I've endured 4 d-days. I've kept my wife's secrets for 20 years. This in itself is damaging. I'm finally done with trying to save my WW. I'll always love her but I'm done being her knight and shining armor. If you continue down this path without your WW getting into IC and finding out why she allows herself to destroy her family you'll be just like me. One day you'll wake up and realize you're no longer the happy, fun and outgoing guy you used to be. You can stop this in it's tracks. Get into IC and follow the 180. You'll be so glad you stood up for yourself when you look back on this trying time in your life.
Sometimes like yesterday night, I just don't want to be near her. She got angry with me when I came home to check up on her during my lunch time. Then I think she went out early before work to meet the OM soon after I left. She denied it of course. She lied about the other guy and she's most likely lying about this one. My wife is very hesitant about going to MC. I think it's because she is very defensive and doesn't want to get blamed for anything. She keeps saying she's sorry, but I don't really see any true remorse.
Better4it, it's only been 4 years since the first D day for me. I can't imagine enduring this for as long as you have. I don't think I have the strength or patience for it.
I hate feeling this way about my wife. I used to trust her completely. Now I don't believe anything she says. What good is having a partner you can't trust?
