Cleaners To Your Door specializes in cleaning and repairing three primary fabrics: window coverings, upholstery, and clothing. The certified Fabricare specialists venture to homes to clean drapes, curtains, and blinds of all sorts, removing buildup and brightening dull material. They repair and dye leather furnishings, as well as jackets and handbags, and train their preservation expertise on wedding gowns. The team also dry-cleans day-to-day vestments including pants, blouses, and astronaut suits covered in Tang.
The staff at Nelson's Green Dry Cleaners and Los Gatos Green Cleaners channels more than 60 years of industry experience when restoring garments with their eco-friendly cleaning process. The staff of the certified-green cleaner replaces harsh perc solvents with hydrocarbon—which safely refurbishes textiles while remaining free of allergens and odors. The cleaners work hard to remove telltale spots and Rorschach blotches from clothing, and preserve items such as wedding gowns and comforters in storage-friendly containers.
In 2002, owner Peter Xu realized that the chemicals of traditional dry cleaning had caused damage to his hand, so he began a complete overhaul to eliminate those chemicals from his business and the lives of his customers. Today, Nature's Best Cleaners uses a chemical-free cleaning system known as "wet cleaning" that uses a water-based solution with natural cleansing agents. The process leaves no residue and evicts chemical-pollutant stowaways hiding in clean clothing. For those who have always wanted to defy the "dry clean only" warning, wet cleaning satisfies rebellious desires without threat of shrinking or spontaneous combustion.
Gatito Cleaners is a neighborhood facility in downtown Los Gatos.We have been serving the community since 1990.A one stop shop for all your fabricare needs. We clean suits ,dresses, shirts, pants ,blouses and wedding gowns too.
At E Z Cleaners & Shoe Repair, expert dry cleaners take in clothing that ranges from grass-stained pants to blouses stained by airborne chocolate pudding and deftly rid them of their unsightly smirches. They also make things easy on busy customers by offering pickup and drop-off services.
In business for more than 40 years, Green & Fresh Cleaners plants itself as an eco-friendly dry cleaning service that's responsible with garments, clients, and the planet. Its non-toxic cleaning solution, GreenEarth, is made from sand and does not contaminate soil, groundwater, or the air, making it the preferred dry cleaner of well-dressed geese everywhere. Because it is chemically inert, it is unlikely it would damage the texture or color of garments, and actually helps to preserve quality and prevent shrinkage. GreenEarth can calm even the most irritable fabrics, including silks, suede, beads, sequins, and painted garments. Green & Fresh Cleaners also cleans and preserves dresses ($13.50), down coats ($15), blouses ($6.50), sports jackets ($9), and sweaters ($6.50).

Is there any more annoying sound than a fly buzzing around your head? SO IRRITATING.
We are having a serious fly issue. We even resorted to hanging those nasty sticky fly strips on the back porch, but they have not made a dent in our burgeoning fly population.
In the battle with the buzzing flies (two of which keep landing on my laptop screen as I type this!), I have found I am a terrible shot with the fly swatter.
For every 10 swats I take I'm lucky to hit one fly. ALSO IRRITATING.
I may need to invest in one of these slightly scary swatters (weapons?).
Off to practice my swatting skills...
When we were in Charleston, SC this summer, we saw all of these restaraunts with bottles of clear liquid hanging over the doorways from a piece of twin. We were curious so we asked what was up with that? Answer: it's just a bottle of water...apparently flies see there reflection or some such craziness (I guess their eyes are crazy anyway) and it "deters" them. That is the #1 way of combating a fly problem in their restaurants. Maybe it would work for you!!
The water does work! We put water in a zip lock bag and hang it outside the doors. We live next to the horse barn at camp and always have flies! I really dislike them and heard of this trick and it really works! Good luck:)
Been there done that. Kent and I uesd to have fly swatting contests, to see who could kill the most flies. I won't tell you how high we counted. :) Let's just say that farm animals near by with no AC in the house, doesn't provide a fly-less enviroment!!
on another note - How is the recipe thing going?? I have been dying to know if it has helped and if the meals were any good.
The electric flyswatters are awesome..good entertainment too. Purchase two of them and you and Jonathan can have flyswatting competitions. The plastic bags of water do work according to the restauranteurs in this area. Also, I've heard strips of dryer sheets work. Good Luck!

AT&T to spend millions promoting safe texting with "it can wait" campaign
A recent study done by AT&T shows that 97% of teens knows that texting and driving is dangerous although 75% say it is a common practice amongst their friends. 89% of them expect a reply from an email or text within 5 minutes while 77% have seen their parents text and drive. The good news is that 89% of teens said an app would be an effective way to get them to stop driving and texting. AT&T's DriveMode app, developed by someone whose life was affected by texting while driving, is now available for Android and BlackBerry smartphones as a solution to the problem. Versions of the app for other platforms will be coming soon.
Press Release
· We'd like to see texting and driving become as unacceptable as drinking and driving.
· We're spending tens of millions of dollars on the campaign in 2012 and making it an ongoing commitment in future years.
· The campaign is comprised of several key initiatives, including:
o Encouraging our 240,000 employees to take the pledge and urging all people to join them. Go to www.itcanwait.com to take the pledge.
o Working with TV and music celebrities to drive the message via TV ads, concerts, public appearances and social media.
o Launching an aggressive social media campaign
o Educating the public through:
§ TV ads
§ Working to provide a tool kit of information to every U.S. high school.
§ Bringing an in-car simulator to more than 200 locations before the end of this year.
§ Launching an online driving simulator at www.itcanwait.com in coming weeks – so that anyone with Internet access can experience the dangers of texting while driving.
§ Enlisting others – including law enforcement, educators, national retailers, consumer safety groups and legislators – to join the no-text-and-drive movement.
o Challenging device makers and app developers to have all devices include a pre-loaded, no-text-and-drive technology solution as soon as possible.
o Asking more than 1,000 of AT&T's strategic and other major suppliers to encourage their employees to pledge not to text and drive.
o Enlisting law enforcement, educators, national retailers, consumer safety groups, legislators and the entire wireless industry to join the no-text-and-drive movement.
On the DriveMode app
It's free and available now for Android and BB (more platforms to come). It was conceived by an employee whose life was affected by texting while driving.

It's like drinking and driving. We know its deadly and dangerous but it still happens. And a growing effect is texting and driving is against the law, as it shoes the same effect of swerving perhaps. Without these signs both are unnoticed, so in conclusion it will never stop. Haha just saying.
2. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1008; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
This is a great campaign!! im doing my part in not texting while driving and i hope that others do the same. I love what AT&T is doing and they're not doing it to boost sales, they're doing to save lives
3. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6727; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
AT&T can't stop all dumb teens or anyone from TEXT AND DRIVING they will still do it and eventually end up in a accident even my sister talk or text while driving. and i hate driving along side her while she's texting.

I guess in some ways, Republicans who really do "have no agenda" are probably more innocuous than those who are honest about their regressive objectives.
We're not going to be able to reform the superdelegate system before this year's convention, so the best we can hope for is pressure on existing superdelegates to simply represent how their states voted.
Obama knows that if he voiced a more full-throated populism, he would be depicted in the media as a race-centric candidate -- even if his populism was race-blind.
The question is whether politicians and party officials with superdelegate votes will be loyal to a fellow politician or loyal to small-d democracy. The history of the superdelegates is one that designed the superdelegates to thwart democracy.
I've been troubled by some of Obama's votes on trade, and I've made no bones about that. But his rhetoric on NAFTA in his victory speech tonight was encouraging.
Obama is a candidate whose top economic adviser is the only remaining top presidential economic guru who acknowledges that our current trade deals are horrifying.
Egomania knows no bounds and no loyalty -- not even to the founding principles of democracy.
This campaign clearly thinks we are all just a bunch of fools. Hillary Clinton has made statements unequivocally trumpeting NAFTA as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
The disconnect between what Americans actually want and what the Establishment wants America to want reflects just how petrified the elite are right now.
There is a potential aligning of stars here -- a potential Democratic president, a likely Democratic Congress, and a situation where the power in Congress is concentrated in the hands of longtime progressive heroes.
Hillary's strategy on NAFTA assumes that the media will simply report her revisionist history as fact, and worse, that Americans who have been crushed by this unfair trade policy are a bunch of idiots.
This is just so utterly silly and insulting. Yes, Hillary Clinton is saying "shame on you" to those who point out the historical record showing she st...
Hillary saying she never really supported NAFTA suggests that on important economic issues, she's more than happy to lie about provable facts when it suits her political needs.
To update my post from earlier today, I wanted to share some more evidence. As Hillary Clinton continues to deny she ever supported NAFTA, more eviden...
Most analysts expect America's lobbyist-written trade policies to take center stage in the Buckeye State -- a place hit hard by trade-related job losses and wage cuts.
I was on CNBC this morning discussing the presidential race, and the impact of issues like NAFTA on the upcoming Ohio primary. You can watch it here...
Is Obama genuine in his opposition to NAFTA? Or as a Canadian news report claims, is it all just campaign rhetoric?
Democratic turnout numbers in the current election cycle are positively astounding. But what will be the lasting impact of that turnout beyond potentially electing a Democratic president?

NLL fans head to Chicago for the 13th annual Fann Cup tournament on July 26 to raise money for charity. (Photo: Larry Palumbo)
Fans of the National Lacrosse League will once again gather for a weekend of camaraderie and charity while playing the game they love with the 13th annual Fann Cup tournament set for Saturday, July 26 in Chicago.
Established in 2002, the Fann Cup is a lacrosse tournament where the fans are the players and the fan clubs are the teams. They play against the fans of their rival NLL teams during a spirited weekend of both lacrosse and leisure. NLL teams are represented by clubs such as the Buffalo Brigade, Minnesota Stingers, Philadelphia Wingnuts, Rochester Krewhawks, Toronto Roadies and more.
Fann Cup 2014, which was organized by passionate lacrosse champion Ray Kincaid, will be hosted at Players Indoor Sports Center in Naperville, Illinois. Semi-pro lacrosse player and fan Zak Dorn, who broke a record and made headlines earlier this summer by recording a 118 mph shot, will serve as a referee at the event.
Proceeds will go towards the Gateway for Cancer Research and Northwest Special Recreation Association along with activities benefitting Braver than Brave in support of Buffalo Bandits veteran Shawn Williams' son Tucker in his battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma.
The Fann Cup raised more than $50,000 for various charities in the first 10 years of the tournament's existence through raffles, auctions and donations. The tourney, which takes place in a different city each year and is often attended by NLL players, was held in Rochester in 2013. With an event-record 150+ participants and 10 teams, the Toronto Roadies won it all and look to defend their title this year.
The tournament began in 2002 after a pickup game in Toronto when a group of Toronto Rock fans challenged the fans of the Buffalo Bandits and Rochester Knighthawks to a friendly game of lacrosse. In a few short weeks, the inaugural Fann Cup was played with the rest now history.

1458 days until 16'.....and countingKarl Roves final 2012 election should be the nail in his coffin for his profitable career.
To insist in the face of defeat that you should have won only says that you did not objectively assess the facts.
It was close to be sure, but not that close.
Romney could only win if certain dominoes kicked in, and even an amateur like me could see that wasnt the most likely outcome.
When such a high-priced player no longer sees the playing field with clarity, and starts believing his own spin, hes worthless to his own team.
cant wait to see how badly the democrats destroy the rebuttlickers then!!

New York City in 1864 was no place for a wimp. In BBC America's Copper, the latest collaboration from Oz and Homicide vets Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson, the Civil War-era town is a boiling stew of impoverished immigrants, uptown power brokers, vicious gangs, freed slaves and Confederate spies.

Together, they solve supernatural crimes while battling their obvious attraction to each other. There is action, romance and Vicki's ex, who continues to tug at her heart.

Honolulu court screeners find pet duck in bagApril 11, 2013 @ 10:30 pm
HONOLULU (AP) - Security screeners at a Honolulu courthouse noticed something moving inside a defendant's bag as it passed through an X-ray machine earlier this week.
After initially refusing to open it, the bag's owner reluctantly revealed that his pet was inside. When he opened the bag, screeners found a live duck and a bottle of beer, Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz said.
Deputies told Michael Hubbard that his pet and beverage wouldn't be allowed inside Circuit Court, so he left. He returned a short while later and asked that deputies look after his belongings while he went inside for an appointment, Schwartz said, adding that visitors are allowed to leave their things outside at their own risk.
Hubbard went to his appointment, while the duck waited outside. Hawaii News Now reports Hubbard has two felony assault cases pending. He couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.
Schwartz said Hubbard didn't appear intoxicated. "Everything was peaceful," she said.
"We recommend people not bring their pets to court," she said. "Believe it or not this is not an unusual occurrence. A lot of people try to bring their pets to court."
But those pets are usually dogs.
"A duck is unusual," she said. "I don't think we've come across that one before."

But Didn't You Say You Had Breaking News?
Okay, I'll be the bad guy for a moment. I think it's time we stopped doing these on-air proposals and hey-look-at-me stunts. Like cupcake stores, we may have reached the limit.
Just last week two very lovely news anchors at KRON in San Francisco, Justine Waldman and Grant Lodes (they're married) announced they will soon be having a baby. Awesome, guys–congrats! But here's the thing. We got the great news during, well, the news. After teasing viewers that there was an "exclusive and developing story" coming at the end of the 8 p.m. newscast, the segment opened with a full screen DEVELOPING STORY graphic and stinger. Lodes, KRON's breaking news anchor, then told viewers "now to a developing story we've been following–KRON 4′s Justine Waldman is pregnant."
Wait, what?
Within seconds, we got to see a "new picture just into the KRON 4 newsroom"–an ultrasound image of the baby due in November. I'm a Dad. And I'm on Facebook. I've seen plenty of ultrasounds. But this just made me uncomfortable. Again, I think this is fantastic for Justine and Grant, but here's the thing: I can't do this anymore. Read more

Son wants to dress as a girl for Halloween

It's not uncommon around here for preteen/young teen boys to dress like females - typically cheerleaders, old ladies, etc. Sometimes a boy and girl will go together as a famous couple with the boy as the female part and the girl as the male part. Dressing up is a big part of Halloween. I think your dh is making way too big a deal of it. IMO it's just kind of bizarre to tell him he has to wear female underwear if he wants to dress up like a girl for Halloween. I remember dressing up like a baby for Halloween and my parents certainly didn't tell me I had to wear a diaper!

It's very normal around here to see straight, masculine boys dress as girls for halloween. They think it's absolutely hilarious and frankly, it's usually the most secure of guys who do it. I'd see this as your DS feeling pretty darn comfortable with who he is not afraid everyone will think he's gay because he goes drag for the biggest dress-up day of the year. Socially insecure boys, boys that do lean towards transgender... they don't take such a risk lightly.
I think your son not changing his mind is less about his having some internal need to wear girls underwear and more about standing up to dad. Your DH has pretty much made it impossible for your son to change his mind without "losing." Looks like they've both dug their heals in.

When my son was in honors choir in high school, their spring pops concert always had a number where the guys dressed in drag.

I just hit the last "reply" mahopac so this isn't directed solely at you- but good for you for supporting your child.:smileyhappy:
I think I see something along these lines every year. As everybody says, it's dress up day. I'm sure this son won't be the only boy dressed as a girl, probably the easiest costume there is. Perhaps dad should watch the kids closely this year and notice how common it is.
Most high schools have a "Spirit Week". Most of them that we've been through have an Opposite Day because it's something most students can participate in without a big expense. And it's always the most participated in day of the week. Not everybody can come up with a good Superhero but most kids have a mom/dad or brother/sister and friends.
I have to agree that this is based in dads insecurity (if this post is for real). My Son-I-L is a tough guy macho logger (he thinks) and will sit with his 4yo boy (my Gson) over here and play with aunties Barbies with him. We have outdoor sports equipment too, but if it's indoor weather, that's whats here.

Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Oil fell from a five-month high as concern increased that Europe's debt crisis may spread and China's central bank said it's not ready to loosen inflation controls. Asian stocks pared losses and Treasuries rose.
Crude slid 0.5 percent to $102.09 a barrel as of 12:55 p.m. in Tokyo, after reaching $102.89 yesterday. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index swung between a loss of 0.8 percent and a gain of less than 0.1 percent. A gauge of financial stocks lost 0.5 percent. Yields on U.S. 10-year notes fell one basis point to 1.99 percent and futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.3 percent. The euro was little changed before today's 12.2 billion-euro ($16.5 billion) sale of French and Spanish debt.
The MSCI China Index fell for a third day, the longest streak of losses in almost seven weeks. While inflation may continue to moderate, "the foundation of price stability is not yet solid," the People's Bank of China said yesterday in its third-quarter monetary policy report. The spread of the euro zone's debt woes to "core countries" in the 17-nation group may cause "systemic risks" in the global economy, the central bank said.
"The problem really resides with the European banking sector," said Khiem Do, Hong Kong Kong-based head of multi- asset strategy at Baring Asset Management Ltd., which oversees about $49 billion. "Something has to happen in terms of the policy regarding the sovereign-debt issue in Europe, otherwise I'm afraid equity market indices might revisit the lows again."
France Debt Auction
France auctions as much as 8.2 billion euros of debt today after yields on the nation's 10-year bonds rose yesterday to a euro-era record relative to benchmark German bunds. Spain is issuing as much as 4 billion euros of a new benchmark security maturing in January 2022. The nation's 10-year yield reached the highest since August yesterday.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.3 percent to 1,235.00. The U.S. equity benchmark sank 1.7 percent yesterday, the most in a week, after Fitch Ratings said that while American lenders have "manageable direct exposures" to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, further turmoil in those markets poses a "serious risk."
Economic reports later today may show U.S. housing starts fell 7.3 percent in October from a month ago, the biggest drop since April, while the number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits increased by 5,000 to 395,000, based on economists' estimates from Bloomberg surveys.
Nikkei, Kospi
Almost two stocks fell for each that rose on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average lost 0.03 percent and South Korea's Kospi Index gained 0.2 percent.
The Hang Seng Index dropped 0.8 percent, extending yesterday's 2 percent slump. China Vanke Co., the nation's biggest listed property developer, fell 7.5 percent in Shenzhen for the biggest decline in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index.
Housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen -- collectively home to 66 million people -- dropped from a month earlier by as much as 0.3 percent in October, a government report will show tomorrow, according to five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Prices in the cities have stalled since July, data has showed.
Lotte Shopping Co. sank 3.5 percent in Seoul after third- quarter net income dropped 57 percent. Sales at major South Korean department stores rose 3.1 percent in October from a year earlier, the slowest pace in 30 months.
The euro traded at 1.3473 from 1.3463 against the dollar yesterday in New York, ending a three-day losing streak. Spanish Finance Minister Elena Salgado said the economy will grow about 0.8 percent this year, less than the government's target, and it's too early to know if the regions will meet their deficit goal this year.
Copper, Zinc Drop
"We are seeing diverging trends with the U.S. economy picking up and the European economy headed for recession," said Richard Grace, Sydney-based chief currency strategist and head of international economics at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "Those diverging economic trends and the likelihood of further ECB rate cuts are going to gradually weigh on the euro."
Oil jumped 3.2 percent yesterday after Enbridge Inc. said it will reverse the direction of the Seaway pipeline, adding an outlet for crude from the central U.S. and Canada. The change may reduce supplies at the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub that has lowered the price of benchmark WTI against Brent.
Copper dropped as much as 2.4 percent to $7,542.25 a metric ton, the biggest decline in a week, leading falls in base metals. Zinc weakened 0.7 percent to $1,945 a ton and lead slipped 0.9 percent to $2,011.
The cost of protecting corporate and sovereign bonds from default in the Asia-Pacific region rose. The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan advanced 3 basis points to 209 basis points, Credit Agricole SA prices show. The gauge is set for its highest close since Oct. 9, according to data provider CMA.

The shooting of the demons hovering above had stopped. As the light around Grim and Hellster wore off, there was only one being out of the light now. This being looked like Grim but had red eyes and white hair like Hellster. "Oh my God, what just happened." Boo said. Wintry got out of his meditating stage and took off the barrier around them. "It's a fusion this is Grim and Hellster together. Let's just hope they can do this." Wintry said. The being looked behind at them with a devious grin. The girls all dropped their jaws, they were attracted to the charm of the new being. "He is so hot." Boo said as her eyes lit up. "State yourself. Who are you. What is your purpose here." Wintry said. "I am Grimga, Divinity of all three worlds. My purpose to destroy all evil and those that stand in my way. I am here to Guard over the Goddesses of Thirteen, their divine beauty that cannot be unmatched by any other. I am a slave to the Goddesses I serve none other but them." Grimga said, "I see." Wintry said crossing his arms. "Well Grimga I know that you only serve the Goddesses of 13, but hear me out. The demons above you and around you are here to take them and make them slaves of Satan for eternal power and that man over there in the Crimson armor with the Girl." Wintry said. Grimga looked around with that devious smirk of his. Staring at each demon. Then he looked back at Wintry. "Consider it done my friend. I will do anything to keep the thirteen I love safe." Grimga said. Grimga took a few steps and stopped looking at the demons above. "Come on you pieces of shit. Show me what you got." Grimga said smiling evily The demons inhaled like before and shot down a storm of ice onto Grimga. "Man their entity is just like Hellster it's a rather bit annoying" Wintry said. "But he is hot, I won't lie" Boo said.
The demons shot down over and over again for about two minutes and then they paused. There was a icy breeze in the air. Once the air had cleared Grimga was standing perfectly wiping ice shards off his shoulders. He smirked again and started to clap. Hyouga was in shock. "Not bad, Not bad at all. Now it's my turn" He said. He used Thanatos and turned him into a small floating throne that only floated a few inches off the ground . He sat with her right elbow on the arm of the throne and his hand on the side of his face. He swiped his hand and one hundred ravens started to circle around him. "I like to call this. The Throne of Ravens." He said in excitement while smiling. The Ravens created a formation around him. They then started to shoot beams towards the demons and changing their postion every three seconds. Grimga sat on his throne and just watched as the demons were slowly oblitirated by his swarm of Ravens. Hyouga cloaked Mari with his cape and held on tight to her. "We have to get out of here this is too dangerous and I can't afford to lose you." Hyouga said. Mari pouted. "Fine" Then the two Vanished into thin air.
Wintry was astonished. "This is amazing, so much power they have together, it even gives me some fear." Wintry said. "Why? He is helping out." Lena asked. "It is because even though he is wiping them out light nothing this form of theirs is almost psychotic. This is probably the least of his ablilities. He is so destructive yet so heroic." Wintry said.
Grimga started to laugh, louder and louder with excitement. "Those cowards left, look at them they fleed. Destroy them, destroy them all teach them true pain and suffering" Grimga said. Grimga continued to laugh psychotically. The demons around were getting wiped out like nothing. Like a human stomping on an army of little ants. "Is that all you fools have to offer this isn't even fun at all, I'm basically wiping my ass with you imbeciles." Grimga said as he guffawed. Most of the group was wiped out now. There was only 5 demons left they started to shake in fear. "Oh look a few of you imbeciles left." Grimga said. He lowered the the throne and got up. Thanatos went back into a hoodie form. The Ravens all swarmed back to Grimga but they looked as if they went through his body as he put his hand out. Grimga then put his hand up and absorbed the souls of the demons floating around. Wintry opened his eyes in shock. "When he absorbs the souls I feel his power raising uncontrollably. This is very.very interesting." Wintry said fiddling his fingers on his chin. The other demons started to flee. Grimga jumped up and Thanatos made the form of wings. Grimga quickly shot up and threw a bunch of compressed blasts. They followed the remaining 5 demons. The demons were oblitirated by the blasts that had touched them.
Grimga slowly hovered down to the ground. As he touched the ground he looked back at Wintry. "Easy as can be, I can sense you are strong maybe even stronger than me. Why didn't you finish off these bafoons" Grimga asked Wintry. "Common sense. I am Ice so me throwing ice or fighting with ice would do nothing to them it would be like trying to throw fire at fire. Nothing would happen nothing would get negated. Surely I could Throw the ice at them but then I would only look stupid." Wintry said. Grimga walked towards Wintry and the girls. Grimga looked at the girls sniffing each one of them. Lena, then Boo, and Lastly Vivian. Grimga enjoyed the scent of Vivian He sniffed her hair over and over. "This is creepy." Vivian said looking at Grimga. Grimga softly gripped onto Vivians face. Vivian was shaking in some fear. Grimga looked Vivian in the eyes and licked his lips seductively. He moved towards her neck licking it up once. Vivian was in so much shock. Grimga smiled at Vivian. "I love your scent and the way you taste." Grimga said. Grimga moved slowly to Vivian's face for a kiss. As he moved forward he noticed a gleaming light around him. He let go of Vivian and looked at the light. "What the hell is going on here?!" He said in shock. "Your time is up Grimga, I am sorry." Wintry said. "What do you mean my time is up. I am infinite, I am powerful." Grimga said. "You are just a entity of two, you don't really exist, you are just the thoughts of two people made up into one" Wintry said. Grimga smirked. "Is that so then? I guess i'll play arround with you guys another time. Grimga winked at Vivian.Vivian started to blush. The light around Grimga became brighter and blinding. The light split into two, the light then begun to fade off.
I could see the world again I was no longer in that darkness. I felt as if I was in a dream. I was panting Heavily and so was Hellster. The energy in me was alot higher than usualI felt ten times more powerful than usual. Me and Hellster looked up and could see the sky was clear of those demons. "What the hell happened" Hellster asked. Wintry started to laugh a bit. "Well we will just say you guys became a entity, that acts like Hellster, Looks almost like Hellster, rude like Hellster, and likes to sniff girl's hair like a weirdo. I wonder if he gets that from Hellster too" Wintry said laughing out loud. "Hey I don't do that, that's weird." Hellster said. "He sniffed my hair and licked my neck what a weirdo, I think he got that from Grim." Vivian said. Grim glared at Vivian. How about I burn your hair off with your own fire." Grim said. "I was just kidding relax" Vivian said. Vivian touched her neck "Oh my God everytime I see that guy I will be scarred for life." Vivian said. We all laughed at her. I however turned my attention to the humans that were knocked out and bleeding. "What do we do about the humans there?" I asked. Everyone looked at them. "Call the ambulance and we have to quickly get out here, and my best guess is to take the airplane today. We don't have time to spare at all." Wintry said. "B-but that means I leave my home and everything" Boo said. "If you want to be stronger and fight til the end and become a Goddess none of these earthly things should matter. To reach higher goals. You must first learn to shed your humanity. If you cannot you will never learn to grow." Wintry said. All the Goddesses looked in shame. Lena took out her phone and called "911" She spoke to a operator. After a min of talking she took the phone from her ear and placed it near the bodies. "After a while they can trace the phone. I don't need it, I need to shed my humanity right" Lena said with a sweet smile. "Let's go now." Lena said looking sadly at the bodies. We all started to run into the red line station downtown.
All of us payed our fares and walked into the station some humans were looking at us oddly. Might have been the ones that were there when the battle started but we ignored them. We walked to parkstreet because it was easy to in downtown station. "We can take the green line and transfer to the blue line which will get us to airport station" Boo said. "Airport station, how original" Hellster said with sarcasm. The girls giggled. One of the green line trains arrived at the station and we all got onto the train. It was pretty packed guessing because it was the weekend for humans. There was no seats so the girls stood around us. The train started to move and it took one minute. We all got off, Lena and Boo guided the way as we followed along. I was really starting to get bored, it felt like we were repeating the same process over and over again. We arrived at where the blue line train was, the area was alot more emptier than that other lines we rode on. We all stood around for a bit the girls playing with their phones besides Lena. I felt kind of bad for her. I pulled out my phone and opened a puzzle game for her, I was really into puzzle games, I never understood why. I walked over to Lena and handed her my phone. "Here play this" I said. As I handed it to her see seemed to thrilled to be using my phone. She smiled at me and grasped onto the phone. I explained to her how to play the game because she couldn't read Abyssian. I watched her as she got lost into the game, so focused. I stepped back from her and let her continue playing the game. I looked at Wintry, he seemed to be pondering deeply. "What are you thinking about?" I asked Wintry. "I am just still questioning that entity that you guys formed into. That entity could even absorb souls, that is a high level technique, and he used your cape Thanatos and turned him into a throne chair. I just don't get it, how could something that just came out know so much? He used some technique called Throne of Ravens. I have never seen that before." Wintry said. I looked at him in shock. "Throne of Ravens in Abyss is a forbidden spell. It is way too destructive, the higher the level the more Ravens you can summon. My mother showed me it once but me and her kept it a secret, but on the other hand she only summoned one Raven to show me what the power is and why I should never use it. How many did I summon?" I asked. "Around one hundred" Wintry said. I was surprised deep down inside. "Wow that means it was only a low level version. Usually the higher skilled people can summon one thousand but it drains the hell out of you." I said. Wintry looked at me. "I get it now, Grimga is a Fragment of you and Hellster's past memories and what you were taught. The throne of Ravens skill mixed with the soul absorb made it easier for him to destroy without losing much energy. I guess most of his skills comes from you and his attitude comes from Hellster but at the same time he was quite feminine I just wonder where that part came from." Wintry said. I laughed "Maybe from Hellster" I said as I started to burst out laughing. "How about you shut the hell up" Hellster said. Wintry chuckled.
The train started to pull into the station. As it slowly pulled in there was a sign of the destination and it said "Wonderland" Hellster didn't seem too please I could feel him about to make a sarcastic remark. "Are you fucking kidding me? The fuck is this? Wonderland? This place is no where near wonderland. Maybe if you do drugs then get on the train maybe it will seem to be wonderland. People, fucking people man." Hellster said. The three girls bursted out laughing. The train had fully pulled in and opened the doors by now, we all quickly rushed on. Wintry looked at the map on the train that showed all the stops. "Four stops. This will be quick." Wintry said. The train was empty also, we were the only six on that train car to be exact. We all sat down, the girls still were playing on their phones.
We went by stop by stop, train still very empty, soon enough we arrived at the Airport station. "Come on girls" Wintry said as the train doors opened. The girls looked up and realized we were at the station and they quickly got up out of their seats. In this station it had alt of glass around it and there was a large stair case in front of us. The girls walked towards the escalator and we followed behind them. Hellster started to yawn. "Man this shit is boring me, Can't wait to get out of here. Boston is too much of a dead city to me." Hellster said.
We continued to walk for a few minutes and arrived at the airport. "Here we are finally" Hellster said. We all walked into the airport looking at the signs on where to buy a ticket. Lena and Boo walked ahead I guess they knew the way. We stood at the ticket stands there was quite a bit of a line we all stood and waited. "God damn humans slowing us down"Hellster said. "Patience" Wintry said to Hellster, The girls giggled.
The line moved faster than we thought it would. We approached the counter. "Hello how may I help you today?" The ticket agent asked. "6 for France, most soonest time please." Lena replied. The cost was close to $8,000. The Ticket agent asked for our passports we handed the agent our passports. She quickly analyzed our passports and handed them back to us. We then handed her the money and she printed our tickets. "All set" the agent said. We all looked at our tickets to see what lane and flight to get on we all walked to the lane the next flight was about thirty mins. I walked along with my head down thinking. "Oh metal detectors" Hellster said. I then put my head up and looked at the line in front of us. The girls were first they emptied their wallets and such into a bin and walked through the detector like instructed. They walked through fine. The same with Wintry. Now it was Hellsters turn. As he walked through, the detectors went off. They used a smaller detector and scanned his body. It beeped near his waist. "Sir please take off all metal belongings." The security God said anxiously. "Relax Relax I know you want to this serpent, it's just my belt." Hellster said sarcastically. The girls blew up with laughter. Hellster took off his belt and walked through again. He was all set. I took off my belt before hand and put it into the bin and walked through. I was all set also. We all walked to the lane we needed to go to.
We arrived at the lane and boarded the plane. There was rows of three seats I decided to take the Window seat Lena and Boo sat next to me and on the other side Vivian at the Window seat with Hellster to the Left of her and Wintry on the far left. There was a few annoucements the basic things but nothing important. Wintry closed his eyes and relaxed. I am going to nap I haven't slept since I got here on earth, wake me up when we arrive." Wintry said. I stared out the window with my hand under my chin. The girls were playing on the phones still. Soon enough after that the plane took off.

Soup looks to have been prepared by an epicure, but equally as important, it is warm. Last night our thermometer out here in Pegleg registered 28. Ran our furnace much of the night and our solar controller recorded a drop to 12.8, meaning we remained almost fully charged. Would sure like a taste of your cooking.

The store, which is located at 800 E. Southern Ave., Tempe, has both full- and part-time positions available, said store manager Chris Jescheling. Associates are needed to work in all areas including supervisory positions, he said.
Benefits include health insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, store discount cards, stock purchase program and life insurance.
The majority of new hires will begin work in August to help prepare the store for its grand opening in the fall, Jescheling said.
The 200 Tempe positions are among 22,000 jobs the company plans to create nationwide in 2009.

Numerous architectural ideas were compressed into this pool house based in part on traditional Malaysian dwellings: 1) Upper floor is elevated on stilts; 2) Sod roof can be clipped back with garden shears; 3) Fireplace allows use on cool evenings in fall and spring; 4) Water for showers is heated by solar panels on back of roof; 5) Windows are slatted shutters made from Spanish cedar. Erik Freeland
A pool house often ends up being an afterthought—a reiteration of the main house, only smaller. But it can also be an independent vision where new ideas get tested out first.
Architect Phil Smith and his partner, Doug Thompson, took the latter approach. "We wanted to build a retreat, a tree house, a place for quiet time, to escape," said Mr. Smith of the unusual 200-square-foot pool house at the back of their East Hampton, N.Y., property. "This is not really a typical pool house," said Mr. Thompson. "It's more like a tea house or a garden folly."
Without much space to work with—a narrow site between the pre-existing swimming pool and back property line, and a roof height determined by a "pyramid law"—the architects looked to the traditional stilt Kampong houses they had seen in Malaysia while traveling after graduate school. They made their pool house a two-story structure with a small living/meditation room upstairs and an outdoor dining/sitting area downstairs. This was back in 1989.
How Does Your Roof Garden Grow?
- The 'Planting': One-by-two-foot sections of sod were cut from the property and carried up to the roof. The grass filled in after several weeks of rainy weather.
- Low Maintenance: The gardener weeds and clips the roof back but the designers like it a bit wild and have allowed invasive species to take root. Water dribbles down from a hidden irrigation system and prevents the grass from drying out.
- Free Insulation: The 4-inch-thick sod acts as natural insulation and helps to cool the upper room in summer.
Work proceeded in slow—very slow—increments, as the designers couldn't afford to build the entire structure at once. They began with two freestanding concrete walls that helped define the pool area and enhance privacy. In 1992, they added a steel arbor painted white—something like a skeleton of the pool house to come—and planted it with grape vines for shade. In 2000, they vacationed in Tulum, Mexico, and were intrigued by how the indigenous houses used ventanas de persiana, adjustable cedar shutters with simple brass mechanisms to open or close horizontal slats against sun and rain. They decided to use these to enclose the upper floor of their pool house.
Main construction began, finally, in 2009 and the house's most intriguing features took shape. Downstairs, there's an outdoor fireplace and a built-in table made from reinforced concrete.
The concrete wall conceals the shower and bathroom, which has a composting toilet, while a solar collector on the roof heats the water for shower and sink. A prefabricated staircase with mahogany steps, like a ship's ladder, leads up to the second story. Upstairs, another fireplace has a chimney that rises through the roof. Sun floods down through a skylight and down to the ground level via a sandblasted panel in the floor so light penetrates the entire building.
"You can sit by the fire and look up through the skylight and gaze at the trees," said Mr. Thompson.
The last part of the process was the application of the sod roof. They'd seen a sketch by John Constable of a cottage in the English landscape overgrown by vines and wanted something like it that would blend in with the landscape of their property. There are hedges on two sides of the pool, cherry trees and a wild patch of native oaks to the east. Messrs. Smith and Thompson researched traditional Norwegian bungalows and learned how to anchor sod onto the steeply pitched roof with L-shaped brackets that not only hold it in place but provide a scaffolding for maintenance.
The architects completed the building a few months ago, 22 years after their first drawing. The process was a kind of Zen exercise in patient, methodical design, a signature approach that the firm prides itself on.
"We would keep reviewing our original design," said Mr. Smith," and decided that it stood the test of time."

TVGuide.com: Is this the hardest-working woman in show business?Jane Lynch: Indeed it is!
TVGuide.com: Did I get your title right there?Lynch: You sure did. That is correct.
TVGuide.com: Seriously, you're everywhere. Do you ever stop?Lynch: It feels like I don't work a lot though. A day here, a day there — it just all seems to play at the same time, giving the people the impression that I am omnipresent. [Laughs] I sit around a lot and watch Hardball and HGTV, thinking, "God, will the phone ever ring again?"
TVGuide.com: Is your series now called Lovespring International or just Lovespring?Lynch: It is Lovespring International.
TVGuide.com: I thought maybe they had changed it to keep it from sounding like an infomercial.Lynch: [Laughs] No, it started out as just Lovespring, but now it's Lovespring International.
TVGuide.com: What is Victoria's own romantic status?Lynch: They haven't said, but I'm imagining she's widowed. She was married to a really rich guy, probably a little bit older, and he died in a freakish accident.
TVGuide.com: Lord knows her employees aren't in healthy relationships!Lynch: Oh, none of us are, hence the irony.
TVGuide.com: I like the gal who boasts she has been in "a committed relationship for 20 years...."Lynch: "But he won't leave his wife." [Laughs] Yeah....
TVGuide.com: It's a great cast — Sam Pancake, Jennifer Elise Cox....Lynch: The six of us, we've been guest stars on sitcoms where we'll come in and do the funny scene and leave, but we don't have name recognition, just a bit of face recognition. But Sam, I watched the first three episodes yesterday and he's frickin' brilliant. I've known him a long time, and the world is going to know what the big deal is about Sam Pancake after this show airs. And I might have to kill you if I told you who, but we've got some really cool people coming as guest stars.
TVGuide.com: Sam's character reminds me of Waiting for Guffman's Corky.Lynch: [Laughs] Yeah, he has a little of that "I'm not at all in touch with my own sexuality, but I walk around like a big flamer."
TVGuide.com: Shortly before I called you, I had interviewed one of your Virgin costars, Paul Rudd.Lynch: Oh, no kidding! Speaking of a flamer.... [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: He said to ask about "that time she went down to Mexico and killed a man with her mind." Lynch: [Howls] Oh, he's a funny guy. You saw 40 Year Old Virgin, right? He improvised all that stuff. Remember that scene where he's watching The Bourne Identity, and he's like, "Y'know, I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but he's rocking the s--- in this one"? Every take, Matt Damon was something different. The weirdest one was the one they used.
TVGuide.com: I haven't seen the DVD's outtakes, but I figure you're in there somewhere, right?Lynch: Seth [Rogen], who played Cal, and I have a 12-minute scene talking about how I'm going to leave Smart Tech and start working at Home Depot, and by the end of it we're talking about what I'm going to try to steal during the first week, how I'm going to smoke weed in the garden center.... It's really fun.
TVGuide.com: Your famous "I will haunt your dreams" line — was that all you, or in the script?Lynch: You know, the role was written for a guy, so I went in with kind of a loose script and they said, "Now go off the script," and I turned it into, "Hey, if you really want to lose this virginity, my door is always open, so to speak...." [Director-writer] Judd [Apatow] transcribed that and put it into the movie. The line that you brought up — "haunt your dreams" — was mine, but I tell you, Judd was throwing stuff at me a lot, too. He doesn't claim any credit for any of our improvising, but he was very, very helpful.
TVGuide.com: If you could only do Christopher Guest films for the rest of your career, would you be happy?Lynch: Yes, yes. If I died after Best in Show, I would have been at the pearly gates going, "This was a great life."
TVGuide.com: What can you say about his next film, For Your Consideration? Everyone's so hush-hush about it.Lynch: Are they? Well, I'll tell you everything you want to know! I have a small part in it, but I get to be with Fred Willard.
TVGuide.com: He's playing an Access Hollywood-type host on the Academy Awards' red carpet, right?Lynch: Yeah, and I play his cohost. I didn't get a word in edgewise. Catherine O'Hara came up to me and said, "You've just been Willarded," because she knows how it feels, having done Guffman. Chris apparently told Fred, "Don't let Jane get a word in," and Fred said, "Shouldn't we tell her that?" Chris said, "No." [Laughs] But Fred's a rambler and it's all gold, so you've got to let him ramble. I knew it would all be about how I react to it.
TVGuide.com: Lovespring has a Guest-film feel to it. Lots of awkward moments.Lynch: I love that. That's the gold that the directors dig out. We shoot and we shoot and we shoot, and they come up with that stuff. One of the things [executive producer] Guy Shalem likes is for us to have absolutely no agenda, and that terrifies me. Even if for the Christopher Guest films I have no lines and I'm supposed to improvise, I have an idea of what I'm going to do. I don't show up empty-handed. But Guy doesn't even want that, so I was taken aback and uncomfortable for most of this shoot. [Laughs] Now that I've seen the episodes, I have so much faith in him! I am so ready to go back and do more.
TVGuide.com: Is it safe to say that some of the top-secret guest stars are people we've seen you work with before?Lynch: Uh, yes!
TVGuide.com: You play Will Ferrell's mother in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (opening Aug. 4). In what universe are you Will Ferrell's mother?Lynch: Ha-ha! The one where I'm wearing a long gray wig. I'm also his 17-year-old mother, in flashbacks. I'm spanning the years in that film!
TVGuide.com: Based on the people I've spoken to who are in it, it's high on my list of must-see summer films.Lynch: I haven't seen it yet, but I ran into Sacha Baron Cohen [who plays Ferrell's race-car-driving rival], and he saw it and was thrilled — and I have a feeling he doesn't get thrilled easily!

(Adds Obama comments starting in 13th paragraph. For news on the 2012 election, see ELECT.)
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama campaigns across the country for the centerpiece of his economic agenda with a simple refrain: "Tell Congress to pass this bill."
He knows Republicans are against him. Increasingly, members of his own party are, too, posing a challenge to his economic agenda and clouding his re-election strategy.
The disunity is on display this week in Washington, where Senate Democratic leaders delayed action on Obama's $447 billion jobs bill to advance a measure he doesn't support that would retaliate against China for undervaluing its currency.
Obama's jobs proposal so far lacks enough support to even begin debate in the Senate. Democrats there are considering a surtax on millionaires to replace tax increases in his bill, a Democratic aide said yesterday on condition of anonymity. Leaders are trying to win over Democrats like Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who are up for election next year and don't yet favor the president's plan.
Asked whether Obama's agenda appeals to senators who face voters in 2012, Manchin said in an interview, "His approval rating is 28 percent in West Virginia. You do the math."
Some Democrats are rebuffing pending trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, while others bristle at some of the $1.5 trillion in tax increases in Obama's plan to trim budget deficits by $3 trillion over a decade. With Republicans in control of the House, White House discord with the Senate's Democrats risks slowing Obama's economic agenda to a crawl.
Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democratic leader, said he sees "no indication" that election considerations are taking over. Differences with the president over legislation are normal, he said.
'Creatures of Elections'
"We're all creatures of elections -- the president as well as members of Congress," Durbin said. "But there are always differences. When the president puts out a proposal, there are going to be a few members of his party who are going to want to do it a little differently. We're working to accommodate that."
Democrats hold a 53-47 Senate majority and risk losing control to Republicans next year. Of the 33 Senate seats up for re-election, 23 are held by Democrats, and all but two of the almost dozen seats rated by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report as vulnerable to a party switch are held by Democrats.
Some Democrats facing re-election come from states with unemployment rates at least as high as the nation's 9.1 percent, including Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Bill Nelson of Florida. Other senators such as Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Manchin are showing independence from a president whose approval ratings dipped below 40 percent in national opinion surveys.
'Desperate Man'
Senate Republicans, largely united against Obama's domestic agenda, see nothing but political opportunity in the split. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Obama is a "desperate man."
"He's obviously in a defensive crouch, given the mood of the country and this feeling that he hasn't done enough to help facilitate job growth," Cornyn said. "Democrats don't want to be associated with him because he's unpopular, and I think it's making a lot of them very uncomfortable."
While he faces dissent in his party, Obama is sharpening his rhetoric against the Republican leaders he says stand in the way of his job-creation plan. At a Texas rally yesterday, he criticized House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican, prodding him to schedule a vote on the jobs bill.
'What's the Problem?'
"I mean, what's the problem?" Obama said at a community college in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite. "Do they not have the time? They just had a week off. Is it inconvenient?"
Some tension between Obama and Senate Democrats was evident in July and August during negotiations for a plan to cut the deficit while raising the U.S. borrowing limit.
Democrats were angered that Obama discussed a deficit- reduction deal of about $3 trillion with Republican House Speaker John Boehner that would have cut domestic priorities while delaying tax increases. Talks fell apart, and lawmakers enacted a smaller deficit-cutting plan.
'Serious Concerns'
Obama's jobs plan, offered on Sept. 8, was immediately dismissed by Manchin, who said he had "serious concerns" about the amount of spending and likely effectiveness. Nelson of Nebraska questioned the wisdom of tax increases proposed to pay for it, which include capping itemized deductions and some tax exclusions for the wealthy and rolling back tax breaks for private-equity fund managers and oil companies.
Nelson said this week "we have to see" what the proposal looks like after senators have a chance to amend it on the floor. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he will advance the measure later this month.
The free-trade deals, with wide support from Republicans in the House and Senate, are running into Democratic resistance.
"With an exploding trade deficit that has caused massive job loss, now is not the time to pass more wrongheaded free- trade agreements," Brown said in a statement released after the White House sent the measures to Congress on Oct. 3.
Reid of Nevada has said he won't support them, though he won't try to block floor consideration.
Trade Agreements
"I want everyone within the sound of my voice to understand that I do not like the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, the Korea Free Trade Agreement or the Panama Free Trade Agreement," Reid said on the Senate floor last month. "I will vote against them."
The China currency measure lets vulnerable Democrats from manufacturing states including Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania criticize that country, while ignoring the administration's reluctance to directly take on a major trade partner.
Democratic leaders moved it to the Senate floor before Obama's jobs measure. The currency bill is co-sponsored by Stabenow, Brown and Casey.
"The U.S. has allowed China to manipulate its currency without consequence and the practice has taken a dramatic toll on Pennsylvania's companies and workers," Casey said Oct. 3. "We have had enough tough talk - now we need tough action."
Senator Charles Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Democratic leader, predicted the Senate will pass the legislation on a "strong and overwhelming vote," even as Boehner of Ohio yesterday said it was a "dangerous" and ineffective way to deal with concerns about China's currency.
The White House has used guarded language in discussing the debate. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration shares the goal of increasing the value of China's currency, but added the bill must be "effective and consistent with our international obligations."
