The private equity firm based here is due to close on its acquisition of Rafaella Sportswear at the end of the month, following its previous acquisitions of retailer Mervyn's and sports brand Fila. Cerberus also is said to be eyeing the Northern Department Store Group of Saks Inc., and at one point considered acquiring fashion house Bill Blass, according to financial sources.
A spokesman for Cerberus said, "We never discuss whether or not we are involved in a deal."
The latest actions come two months after Vanessa Castagna joined the private equity firm as a senior member of the operations team. The former second in command at J.C. Penney & Co. also is executive chairwoman of Mervyn's. While there are no firm indications the purchases of Rafaella and potentially of the Saks Inc. chain were Castagna's ideas, part of her deal with Cerberus stipulates she'll be "available" for other investment opportunities.
Cerberus is expected to close by the end of June on its leveraged recapitalization of Rafaella Sportswear Inc., a women's career and casual sportswear firm. The assets of Rafaella will be sold to Rafaella Apparel Group Inc., which will be controlled by an affiliate of Cerberus.
Terms of the Rafaella deal were not available, but Moody's Investors Service said in a May 31 credit rating report that the transaction would be financed with about $200 million in debt. The disclosure came from a report assigning a "B2" rating to Rafaella Group's proposed $160 million second-lien senior secured notes, which is expected to help fund Cerberus' buyout of Rafaella Sportswear. The notes, which will mature in 2011, will be subordinated to a $62.5 million senior revolving credit facility set to mature in 2010. Cerberus will invest $40 million in convertible redeemable preferred shares issued by Rafaella.
In the same May 31 credit report, Moody's said the new entity, Rafaella Apparel, will be 75 percent owned by Cerberus and 25 percent owned by Rafaella Sportswear. Rafaella's revenues come from the sales of women's casualwear and careerwear, mostly targeting the misses' segment. Rafaella's 10 largest customers account for 70 percent of the company's revenues, the ratings agency noted.

Thirty-four years ago, Russ Berrie put together a little collection of products and took it to stores to see what might sell. He kept the winners, ditched the losers, and then he regrouped. Thirty-four years and billions of dollars later, he's still at it.
The players have changed, of course. Even today, Berrie's traditional base of greeting card stores, florists, gift shops and pharmacies is expanding to include home décor shops, department stores, craft shops and garden stores. The company's mix of products is in constant flux. Employees come and go. Opportunities arise, run their course, and give way to new opportunities.
But Berrie just keeps swinging. Though he tries to spend as much time as possible with his six children and his wife, Angelica, he usually works seven days a week. "I take time off on Sundays to watch the Giants lose," he says. But work is his major source of fun. And Berrie wants to keep playing.
"I hope when I'm 92 years old, I'll be on the floor of the Jacob Javits Convention Center doing a trade show and writing orders for customers," Berrie says. As long as there's a market, Russ Berrie will have the gift.

Hasgrove sounds positive after 65% profit fall
New business wins towards the end of 2009 prompted AIM listed marketing group Hasgrove to sound an optimistic note when reporting a 65% fall in post-tax profit last year.
The post-tax profit was £1.2 million after charging over £1 million of reorganisation costs and bad debts.
The recession had reduced revenues by 11.3% and the group's operating profit margin on gross income slumped to 6.7% (2008: 18.7%).
According to the 31 December balance sheet, short-term liabilities exceeded readily realisable assets by £2.9 million. Net debt had increased slightly to £6.5 million, on top of which outstanding earn-out obligations amounted to £3.7 million. The company said it had bank facilities of £9.2 million at the year end.

I'm a first day D23 Charter Member!
One man's Trivia is another man's Wisdom
Ive got a week left. But thats ok, the quicker school starts, the quicker it will end and summer vacation will hopefully bring me to WDW!
The hardest task of all is believing in yourself, for who knows all your faults and shortcomings better?

Horns of a steer, what a loveable fellow

and then, WaLaa! you've got a Figmant!
Aspiring to be Cast Member for WDW. See any non-Disney behaviour from me? Point it out!
We have three very, very short weeks left. But again, the sooner school starts, the sooner my vacation arrives!
They call me "Nana"
And bad traffic has begun.
Why oh why, in Atlanta, do we have such horrible traffic during the school year?!!?
Nope school starts on September 8 for us and they have half days that Thursday and Friday.Catholic school go figure.
Hey Laura why do you guys go back so early I thought that most of the kids go back in September? Is that for the South that you guys go back so early and when does school let out for the summer in Georiga?
August 30th for Parker.... First day of Kindergarten....
September 8 here in the Western New York area. The kids still have 5 weeks left of summer fun
I think that, at least for Cherokee County Schools, they are trying to move towards year-round school, which personally, I don't mind. The only problem that we have in most of our schools (in Cherokee Co.) is that there is no airconditioning in the gym...and as most of you know, is the hottest month of the year. Although, over the past few days, we've been lucky to get to 80- that will change soon enough .Originally Posted by JEDIPRINCESS
Some of the school systems don't start until the middle of next week and into the middle of the month. My kids do get an extra week off in Sept. and a week in Feb....which is nice.

Now does this mean no regular vacations, or what?Originally Posted by zcook9

Biographical information
Physical description
Háma was the doorward of the Meduseld (King Théoden's palace) and captain of Théoden's guard in The Two Towers. He greeted Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli when they arrived to speak with Théoden. He told the company to leave their weapons behind, by order of Grima Wormtongue, before entering the King's hall. He disarmed Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, but against the King's orders permitted Gandalf to keep his staff with him as a courtesy, though he knew, as he remarked, that "The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age."[1]
After the evacuation of Edoras, on the way to Helm's deep the evacuees were ambushed by the Wolves of Isengard . One Orc rider managed to overthrow Háma knocking him off his horse. He is then devoured by the warg while the rider fought Gamling .
In the book though Háma was present at the Battle of the Hornburg, and died defending the gates of Helm's Deep. He was buried at Helm's Deep after the battle.
In The Two Towers at the Battle of Helm's Deep Peter Jackson instead added his son Haleth.
[show]Portrayal in adaptationsEdit
On radioEdit
Michael Spice provided the voice for Háma in The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series).
In filmEdit
In the film, Háma is still the doorward of Théoden. He allows Gandalf to pass with his staff as well. He is killed when a Warg-rider scout attacks and devours his head on the way to Helm's Deep, before it is killed by Legolas. His body is left behind. His only known family is his son, Haleth, who is made to fight at Helm's Deep. New Zealand actor John Leigh plays Háma.
Háma makes an appearance in The Lord of the Rings Online and LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game. He is also a playable character, and can be purchased at the gate of Edoras.

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And after this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree. | 1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. |
2 And I saw another angel ascending from [the] sunrising, having [the] seal of [the] living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been given to hurt the earth and the sea, | 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: |
3 saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the bondmen of our God upon their foreheads. | 3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." |
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of [the] sons of Israel: | 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. |
5 out of [the] tribe of Juda, twelve thousand sealed; out of [the] tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; | 5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, |
6 out of [the] tribe of Aser, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Nepthalim, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; | 6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, |
7 out of [the] tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; | 7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, |
8 out of [the] tribe of Zabulun, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of [the] tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand sealed. | 8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000. |
9 After these things I saw, and lo, a great crowd, which no one could number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands. | 9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. |
10 And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. | 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." |
11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, | 11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, |
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen. | 12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!" |
13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they? | 13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" |
14 And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. | 14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. |
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits upon the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. | 15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. |
16 They shall not hunger any more, neither shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun at all fall on them, nor any burning heat; | 16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. |
17 because the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. | 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." |

5 Jul 2013I was thinking about my Antarctica trip recently, and how I managed to drink in 4 different places on the trip (OK I'm cheating as three of them were onboard the boat!!!). But I thought I'd give all you Antarctic bound travellers some tips on how you can drink in Antarctica, yes there is even a bar there, there is even a Happy Hour and drinking in Antarctica is part of the experience to the world's southern most continent. Here's my Top 6 places to drink in Antarctica (of which I drank in only 4 of them, as sadly 2 of them we didn't visit)! One of my favourite Thirsty Thursdays to date.
1. Alcohol in Antarctica – drinking on Antarctic land
OK so strictly speaking this is illegal as you should take only water with you on your treks. But on our last landing in Antarctica, myself and 5 others all took a drink each onto the land to toast to our amazing trip. We chose either wine or beer and burst them open by some rocks near the Henry Arctowski Polish Station at Admiralty Bay on King George Island. It is probably the best place I have ever had a beer. Just there in the wilderness with penguins in behind. A must for drinking in Antarctica!
2. Alcohol in Antarctica – a drink on the deck of the boat!
With snowstorms on board the boat and epic views of the landscape, while cruising down the cold continent I can't think of anything better to do than have a beer and admire the views. A great place to relax – even if it is freezing! At least you won't have to keep your beer cold!
3. Drinking in Antarctica: Onboard Bar at Happy Hour
For the budget travellers this is a great option. Each excursion to Antarctica will of course be different, but ours had a Happy Hour from 5 – 6pm every day in the Lounge Bar. This also coincided with the daily gathering of everyone on board in the lounge to discuss the day's events and plan ahead for tomorrow. Our ship, the MS Expedition had two onboard bars and alcohol was available normally after 4pm on each day. There were 3 places to buy booze onboard, these were the two onboard bars and the restaurant:
- There's a lounge bar on the boat which is usually open from 4pm – 7pm everyday.
- The Polar Bear Bar was open from around 8pm until closing time (whenever you wanted to stop drinking)
At dinner time in the on-board restaurant you can also enjoy a drink.
4. Alcohol in Antarctica – take your own booze
Again the cheapskate option and this is the one I used mostly – even the beer I took onto Antarctic land to drink was bought in Argentina and brought on board. There is no real limit on the amount of alcohol you bring onboard, but if you suffer from sea sickness, please note that the Drake Passage is the roughest stretch of water in the world, so you want to avoid the booze on that part of the trip! I brought my own beer and wine and drank it in the cabin or sneaked it into the bar (hardly a big deal considering you've paid loads for this trip!!).
5. Drinking in Antarctica: The Bar at the Ukranian Vernadskiy Station
A great way to enjoy a drink in Antarctica is to actually drink in a bar on the cold continent. You're in luck! There is a bar at the Ukrainian Vernadskiy Station which even serves its own vodka. They actually make a vodka in Antarctica and you can sample it here.
6. Drinking in Antarctica: A Pint at the South Pole
If you ever make it to the South Pole, how amazing would it be to have a drink right there – at the bottom of the world. Get a beer and toast to a mega achievement in your life!
Imagine having a beer at the South Pole!
If you have managed to do all six of these I salute you!! I was happy with the four I managed to get in on my amazing Antarctica adventure back in 2010.

Samuel Marvin Griffin, Sr. (September 4, 1907 – June 13, 1982) was an American politician from the U.S. state of Georgia. He served as the 72nd Governor of Georgia from 1955 to 1959.
Early life[edit]
Griffin was born in Bainbridge, Georgia and graduated from The Citadel in 1929. He taught in Virginia for a short time before moving back to Bainbridge.[1]
Political career[edit]
Georgia assembly and cabinet[edit]
In 1934, Griffin, a lifelong Democrat, was elected to the Georgia General Assembly. Two years later, he failed in an attempt to be elected to the House of Representatives. After that, he served in the administration of Governor Eurith D. Rivers, rising to the post of executive secretary.
Military service[edit]
When the United States entered World War II, Griffin was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, and later rose to the rank of brigadier general. He was appointed adjutant general of the Georgia National Guard in 1944, serving in that position until 1947.
Georgia lieutenant governor[edit]
Griffin became the first elected Lieutenant Governor of Georgia to serve after he won a special election in 1948 (the first person elected lieutenant governor was Melvin E. Thompson, who never took the office but instead claimed the office of Governor after the death of Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge). Griffin was elected to a full term in 1950.
Georgia governor[edit]
1954 election[edit]
Griffin was seen as the successor to Governor Herman Talmadge, and he won the governorship in 1954 before runoff elections were required in Georgia. Griffin received a plurality of 36.3 percent of the ballots cast. Melvin E. Thompson, Griffin's predecessor as lieutenant governor, trailed with 25.1 percent.[2] Another primary candidate was the later Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. As governor, Griffin was a staunch segregationist. He spoke out against the Brown v. Board of Education decision and pledged to keep Georgia's schools segregated "come hell or high water."[3]
Springhill mining disaster[edit]
In 1958, Griffin, who was a segregationist and accused of being racist, took advantage of the intense media coverage surrounding the Springhill mining disaster in Springhill, Nova Scotia, Canada to promote tourism to his state by offering a group of survivors free vacations to Jekyll Island. However, to the segregationist governor's chagrin, one of the rescued miners was black, resulting in a public relations nightmare.[4]
1956 Sugar Bowl[edit]
Much controversy preceded the 1956 Sugar Bowl, where the Pitt Panthers, including African-American player Bobby Grier, were scheduled to meet the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. There was controversy over whether Grier should be allowed to play, and whether Georgia Tech should even play at all due to Governor Griffin's opposition to integration.[5] In anticipation of Bobby Grier's presence, in December 1955, Griffin publicly sent a telegram to his state's Board of Regents. Griffin implored teams from Georgia not to engage in racially integrated events which had blacks either as participants or as spectators.
A large contingent from the New Orleans community, as well as many related to Georgia Tech, openly fought to bar either Grier, Pitt or the Yellow Jacket team from the game. However, students and football players from the Atlanta-based school, civil rights leaders, as well as a large number of the Pitt community, succeeded in ensuring that the game took place.
Corruption charges[edit]
Griffin's term was marred by charges of corruption. According to Atlanta historian Frederick Allen, Griffin was "a man of prodigious charm and wit and also one of the most corrupt public officials ever to hold office in Georgia."[citation needed] Several administration members were found guilty of crimes and Griffin was investigated in 1960 by a grand jury, which returned no true bills.
1962 election[edit]
In 1962, Griffin ran once more for governor but lost in the primary to a moderate candidate, Carl Sanders. Griffin received 332,746 votes (39 percent) to Sanders' 494,978 (58.7 percent).[2] Thereafter, Griffin largely retired from politics.
In the 1966 gubernatorial race, Griffin supported Democratic nominee Lester Maddox, an Atlanta businessman known for his segregationist views. Maddox's opponent, Republican U.S. Representative Howard Callaway, had supported Griffin in the latter's 1962 campaign. As the publisher of the Post Searchlight in Bainbridge, Griffin at first indicated that he would repay Callaway for the earlier support, but he instead held firm for Maddox. "I consider Bo Callaway one of my best friends, but I can't go with him in the governor's race," Griffin said. Conversely, former Governor Ernest Vandiver, who as lieutenant governorfrom 1955 to 1959 had frequently quarreled with Governor Griffin, dismissed Maddox as "a pipsqueak" and endorsed Callaway.[6]
In 1968, Griffin was a stand-in candidate for Vice President of the United States on George C. Wallace's American Independent Party ticket. Griffin was thereafter replaced in the second slot by United States Air Force General Curtis LeMay although Griffin's name stayed on the ballot in several states.
Post-gubernatorial career[edit]
Griffin returned to Bainbridge and went into the real estate business. One of his proudest accomplishments was the creation of Bainbridge College in 1970 (classes began in 1973), of which he was a leading advocate and member of the board of directors. He also oversaw and directed the Decatur County Sesquicentennial in 1973.
Griffin died in 1982 from lung cancer.

Quote of the day: 'Social media is like teen sex'
While staying within Twitter's 140-character limit, Avinash Kaushik, a Web analytics guru at Google, makes his point and supports it. Good show!
Every once in a while, you read something on Twitter that's just pitch-perfect, despite (or maybe because of) the microblogging service's 140-character limit.
Today's honor is bestowed upon numbers guru and "Web Analytics: An Hour A Day" author Avinash Kaushik, currently employed as Google's analytics evangelist.
On Monday, he posted a total zinger, framing it as an "OH," or overheard, indicating that he wasn't the one who actually came up with the contents of the Twitter message (or "tweet") but didn't want to openly quote the person who actually said it.
"Social media is like teen sex," Kaushik tweeted. "Everyone wants to do it. No one actually knows how. When finally done, there is surprise it's not better."
Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. (Do you agree? Comment away!)

Capacity Limits of Optical Fiber Networks
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 28, Issue 4, pp. 662-701 (2010)
Acrobat PDF (5588 KB)
We describe a method to estimate the capacity limit of fiber-optic communication systems (or "fiber channels") based on information theory. This paper is divided into two parts. Part 1 reviews fundamental concepts of digital communications and information theory. We treat digitization and modulation followed by information theory for channels both without and with memory. We provide explicit relationships between the commonly used signal-to-noise ratio and the optical signal-to-noise ratio. We further evaluate the performance of modulation constellations such as quadrature-amplitude modulation, combinations of amplitude-shift keying and phase-shift keying, exotic constellations, and concentric rings for an additive white Gaussian noise channel using coherent detection. Part 2 is devoted specifically to the ``fiber channel.'' We review the physical phenomena present in transmission over optical fiber networks, including sources of noise, the need for optical filtering in optically-routed networks, and, most critically, the presence of fiber Kerr nonlinearity. We describe various transmission scenarios and impairment mitigation techniques, and define a fiber channel deemed to be the most relevant for communication over optically-routed networks. We proceed to evaluate a capacity limit estimate for this fiber channel using ring constellations. Several scenarios are considered, including uniform and optimized ring constellations, different fiber dispersion maps, and varying transmission distances. We further present evidences that point to the physical origin of the fiber capacity limitations and provide a comparison of recent record experiments with our capacity limit estimation.

For book lovers everywhere, but especially for the littlest book lover in my life.
Dear Margaret,
At 15 months old, nothing makes my heart swell with pride and affection quite like when you bring me books to read, and perch expectantly at my hip, or stretch so that your tousled hair is tucked under my chin, and your toes tickle my knees. I read you even Kerouac through the first summer of your life, and though I may have just sounded like a comforting droning on, as you gazed at your mobile, or drifted into a sticky, sweet sleep, your neck cradled in the crook of my elbow, swaying on the porch swing, cicadas singing, my love of books has rubbed off all over you, just as I had hoped it would. By 9 months old, you'd inquisitively peer for long stretches of time, at a page of puppies or Dr. Seuss's whimsies, before gently turning to the next, and the way you thumb the pages of my paperbacks, they way you've seen me do, makes my heart swim in strokes beneath my rib cage.
This is where it all begins. Before you are the best years of discovering the beauty, the glory, the sucker-punches, the sorrows, the comedy, and the triumphs, all sewn between spines. I hope there will be evenings in which you shovel down forkfuls of dinner so fast that you mother tells you to slow down and your father laments the way the sponge barely touches the dish in your hurried hand, as you take the stairs two at a time, soap suds still snaking from your wrists, and toss yourself, barefooted across your bed to where the book, whose plot arc and characters occupied your thoughts in every moment between, still lies faithfully waiting, open-faced and dog-eared on your pillowcase.
I hope you'll know to bring at least two tote bags to library, because it will always be a mystery how you can walk in with one book in mind, and walk out with a couple dozen, dangling like jewels from your tender elbows, thumping into your knees, as you adjust the weight of them all several times, and step into the street. They're not like jewels, they are jewels. Your father will tell you to marry a man who will buy you expensive jewelry, diamonds to grace your neck, that it's a wise financial investment. Respect your father, but remember a man who buys you books, is the one who invests in your heart and your intellect. If black opals don't make you swoon like Lord Alfred Tennyson, forget them.
Though the other kids may compare what phones they have, or brag about seeing adult movies, and girls who lean against the sinks in the school bathrooms, painting their lips, gossiping about boys, may roll their eyes at the book under your arm, don't ever let others snuff out something you love. If you learn anything from me, let it be that. You may feel you're a million miles away from society sometimes, like a strange anomaly or alien uprooted from its home, and wonder if reading is irrelevant or unpopular — it may very well be the latter — but remember that the written word, that storytelling itself, has survived all the turmoil and triumphs of humanity thus far, and you are its torch. Keep it lit and and it will give you light. Forge into darkness with the knowledge of those who have gone before you, who have felt what you feel, and some who have felt what you've never felt, who have experienced things that will crack your mind wide open to new ideas, cultures, and understanding.
Some will say books are magic, and not mean spells and witchcraft. This magic, is that time machines and portals to other worlds have already been invented, they're not farfetched and futuristic, but something that began with the first wordsmith. One day, you will look up and realize hours have passed unnoticed, that golden afternoon has become the ebony night, all while you had inhabited another soul squeezed out between the pages. In the madcap scramble of our world, this is magic, to unshackle ourself from the constraints of time, the consciousness of our flesh and blood and beating hearts, if only for a few hours.
Don't ever let anyone fool you into thinking reading isn't living in the real world. There may be few things more real than what people impart to the page, when they pick up their souls, dust them off, and shake them out into ink and paper. I have traveled thousands of miles, figuratively and literally, because of books. It was a fictional character that gave me the courage to quit a dead-end job and buy a one-way plane ticket and never look back. I'd never have known you, if it wasn't for that book.
But sometimes reading will be an escape, an emergency exit you take when life becomes overwhelming. When fire chokes the air with smoke of melodrama and indecision and heartbreak, let them be a breath of oxygen. On other days, they'll be the kindling for your imagination, for your sense of wonder, stoke that fire often, and it will burn passionately. Stash a flashlight under your pillow for when a book won't let you sleep until you've devoured every last page, because there will be books like that.
I hope you have to press your cheek into the carpet as you peer under your bed to find that last library book, because with so many, they'll have spirits of their own, and spill into every corner of your room, even when you could have sworn that were all neatly stacked just yesterday. I hope you feel the ache of their weight, when your fingers curl at their covers and spines, chin and outstretched arms the parentheses that encompass them. You don't have to like every book you read, and you won't, but I hope there's a few that make you feel something so powerful, that all you can do is place it in your lap and weep.
In a few years, you will begin school, and you and I won't have our days interwoven together anymore. Yours won't be the first face I see in the morning, beaming, with brilliant, gummy smile, at the sight of me (or my keys, because I know they're jingly and delightful, when you're only 1 year old). One day I'll be nothing but nostalgic and fleeting memory from your childhood, and that's okay. People come and go, chapters begin and end, books open and close. Some will break your heart, both between the pages, and to your face, the trick is to learn from each of them, because no matter how good or bad they may seem, books or human beings, all have something to teach you.
You're my teacher too, and I love you.

A Letter
Dear Misma,
I sleep to the lullaby of sirens — hardly the honey-tongued, motherly, sweet melodies sung to us as babes, but more of a mother whose rope has unraveled to a quickly disappearing wisp of patience, pleading on her knees for you to behave — am lulled by the train's whistle, gently swayed by polluting trucks rumbling past, and am distantly welcomed to the MTA at 1AM, as a bus puffs to curb, for a beat, and that strange pre-recored voice, that is both human and not, wafts up three floors to reach me through sleep-lidded eyes.
My sins are convicted by a voice without a body that booms from some street corner unseen, in an impassioned sermon that impresses most upon me, the innate ability some people possess to shout for thirty minutes straight, barely bringing any breath back into their lungs. The neighbors — and due to my very poor ability to decipher the direction of sounds, I don't really know which ones — indoctrinate me with a muffled history of 1960s soul music, from 10pm to 3am, a course I did not know I'd signed up for.
Hustlers dot the street corners, as I coast off the interstate and slither three lanes over to wait. There's the rose-seller, supposedly in a cult, the one with suspicious foil covered tins like little space ships, the one with dreadlocks that stroke the soft bend at the back of the knees, the one with stacks of CDs slipped from hand to hand who moves to fill the frame of my window, and when I nod a "no, thanks" regresses again, jostling the plastic cases with no jacket art. I sit at the light and let myself be hypnotized by the revolving auto shop sign winking every few seconds in the 5 o'clock sun, until the punch of green that breaks the spell, and I'm gliding in an arc through the intersection.
The salt-combed streets disappear beneath my tires, also chalky, and every car in its thick winter coat of filth. Peeling down [omitted] St, I can almost see aristocratic ghosts, with a drink dangling between their fingers, lingering on those wrought iron balconies that masquerade as delicate paper lace. Cut from the cloth of a very eclectic quilt, bohemia is juxtaposed against the ghetto, a strange tango, the two of the them, and prostitutes and starving artists and judges and hustlers and good family men and deadbeat dads and drug addicts and ministers all live within this same strip of Baltimore. That's its charm, more gambling than a casino, a roll of the dice, and you never know if you're going to get, a friendly smile or .32 caliber bullet through your brow.
"Hey, lady in black, how you doin'?" a night-blind cat-caller sings, and I say nothing, but sling the bulging bags of groceries over my shoulders and clumsily climb up the three flights, the bags now dangling like ornaments from my elbows. When I go, darkness still clings to the corners like cobwebs, and when I come home, a teardrop of burt sun splits the wall, as I half-shuffle out of my shoes, pushing the heels off with my toes and sliding them into my closet.
The wood beams slope gently from one room into another, creak and moan and bear the scars of a hundred something years, the ceiling bows a little, and the single-pane glass of the windows let the wind in — an unwelcome guest. In the evenings, I sometimes sit in one of the front windows and am lulled by the shifting of the traffic lights, the rhythm of cars coming and going. I can never see faces, from this angle, just hands gripping the wheel, reaching to tune the radio, or curling around a cup of coffee.
I know my neighbor in apt. 4, as Mr. B's owner, because I'm embarrassingly bad at remembering names, except for those belonging to canines, it would seem. Mr. B., is a pleasantly well-mannered tea cup dog that rarely barks, and his owner, whose cigarette smoke mysteriously drifts into only one of my closets, calls me "baby girl," or "sister," depending on the day…

To the Educators of the World
Serve students first, the system second. Do not abuse the impressionability of youth, the malleability of their spirits. Don't allow for education to be solely about the academics, the tests, the stoic letters scrawled in red ink, but nurture the individuality, intelligence, open-mindedness, and empathy in all young people, even if it can't be proven on paper under the gun of a stop watch, even if it doesn't add up to a numerical score.
Educate them in-depth about the diversity of this world and the people who live it. Iron out the ignorance, in hopes that they will carry the torch of enlightenment to future generations, and even light the darkness in the ones before them. Let them be outraged by the injustices of the system and in the world around them, instead of conditioning, desensitizing, and promoting passive acceptance. Do not hold them back, do not bridle their passion, their uncompromising optimism, but encourage it; it will take them farther than any test score.
Do not keep it all within four walls, heads bent to a desk over textbooks. Let them be actively involved, from their communities to world issues. Don't just take them to musuems, let them witness firsthand the fruits of empathetic, passionate people who come together for a good cause. Allow them to realize their privileges, their power, and their potential. Teach them the responsibility they have to themselves and their fellow human beings. After all, what good is a world of developed brains, but undeveloped hearts? What good are hands that can hold a pencil, but do not reach out to hold the hand of another, to lift the oppressed, the impoverished, the hurting?
Teach them to lose gracefully. Every human being will face defeat in their life, don't lie and tell them they won't. Teach them that a real winner isn't necessarily the one who holds a blue ribbon or a trophy, but the one who never gives up, who knows how to pull themselves up by the boot straps, and get back on that horse, who knows how to sincerely congratulate someone who's rightfully outperformed them, and that a healthy sense of competition is an opportunity to push themselves to new heights.
Do not underestimate the transformative power of music and the arts, or allow for these programs to be hastily cut in budget crunches, with the false perception that they are less imperative than academics. For some young people, it will not only change their attitude towards school, but their attitude towards themselves, and towards life.
Do not just let physical education for female students be about sports like volleyball and field hockey, teach them self-defense, let them be empowered through their own sweat and skills. Arm them with the ability to defend themselves against any man who lays an unwanted hand on them. Use sex-education not just an opportunity to teach anatomy and safe sex, but the unmistakeable difference between consensual sex and rape. Teach young men to respect girls and women, and not to view them through objectifying lenses. Teach women to respect their own bodies, to see their worth beyond their sexuality, to know that fabric of rape culture is full of holes, of lies we're fed to excuse wrongdoers.
Most importantly, let a good and free education be the right of all people everywhere, regardless of age, race, gender, location, or class. Do not let it be about money, corruption, control, or political purposes, but about the people, the individual beings and light of humanity.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." — Margaret Mead
The world is burning as we sleep, quakes with gunfire and grenades as we sip our tea. Cobwebs like gossamer garlands dangle from the points of the porch roof and drape down into the hedged and hemmed shrubbery, suburbia's coat of arms. Feet peppered with the earth, I put Stan Getz on the stereo. Good music makes me feel as my soul has flown straight out of my skeleton, vamoose like a cut balloon, floating on the sensuous notes of euphoria.
In some lands, air raids and bombs sing children to sleep, here, it is the chirping lullabies of crickets and cicadas, half moons of tar black soil under my fingernails from planting, instead of the scarlet curls of blood on corpses. How can we live on this earth and not care for our fellow human beings?
They tell me to care less, it's okay, just be kind to the people you meet and don't fret about the screams of people dying over distant seas. I feel slighted. I feel my shoulders slump. They don't get it, do they? Doesn't anybody understand? I ramble around these neighborhoods, sidewalks jutting into the impossible green of lawns, the stripes of faded American flags bending to kiss the stars, and I see power. Even where the walkways are rough hewn, and rusting junk suffocates every living thing beneath it, I see possibility.
We've made a grave mistake. Somewhere along the way, there's been a tremendous miscalculation. We've added it up that the engraved paper that lines our banks is greater than human lives, and we've been taken for fools, falling for the charade that we are helpless, possums playing dead when we see the bloated bellies of malnourishment, the muddy tears of a refugee. But we are not dead, nor are we helpless.
We shuffle from buses and cars, to classrooms and cubicles, from bright florescent lights to night clubs. Public spaces are filled with the emptiness of people who cannot lift their eyes from the screen that connects them to everything but the people in front of them. We are powerful beings, yet we believe the lies they tell us, that we should just be cogs in this machine that lumbers on with no regard for humanity, that we should close our eyes and turn around, like a child chosen to be "it" in a game of hide and seek.
We've hung hopes on governments, but they'd rather fund wars than feed the hungry, invest in the of festering of wounds than be a healing salve to the hurting. The cost shelled out for arms and killing alone could obliterate poverty around the world, instead it deepens a mass grave for the ones it is burying alive; the chasm between the rich and the poor ripping apart what should be a woven tapestry of hands united. Our lives are privileged because others have been pushed into the jaws of a beast, their lives and well being the offering on the altar so our comfortable lives can get a little more comfortable.
The government isn't the solution, we are. We've got to lace up our boots and get down in the trenches of the greater good, we've got to be willing to get dirty and sacrifice. This is no day and time to be sleeping, not with the world burning and the ashes of woman, child, and man, a black rain on cities blown into oblivion, erasing faces and leaving only names soon to be forgotten or never remembered.
I am wide awake. I hear them calling, and they're calling me, they're calling anyone who will listen, they're calling any willing soul, to do something, and I am not afraid. I am not afraid to walk in the shoes of the suffering, not afraid to suffer. I only fear a life that is lukewarm, a life that is nice, if not indifferent, and nothing more.
I seek a life ignited, to shed this selfish skin and say to the world in need, "Here I am. I am willing."
P.S. I have entered a contest that will allow me to travel the world and give back more than ever. Will you please take a moment and vote for me, by clicking the "like" next to my name, if you think I'm deserving? You can vote once every 24 hours, and voting ends October 1st. I appreciate each and every vote, thank you so much to those who have taken a moment to do so!

About five years ago, my sister relayed a story to me about a professor she had at New Jersey City University who had his own book, Into the Heart: One Man's Pursuit of Love and Knowledge among the Yanomama, listed as required reading on his syllabus. My sister refused to purchase the book. It was not merely a protest against a professor taking advantage of his students to sell his own work, it was a protest against white privilege and most importantly: RAPE. Keep reading »

Rolls-Royce completes $2.2 billion Trent order with TAM Airlines
Monday, 20 June 2011
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has concluded a contract worth up to $2.2 billion at engine list prices, with TAM Airlines of Brazil, to provide Trent XWB engines for Airbus A350-XWB aircraft. The order includes a 12 year agreement for TotalCare® long-term services support.
This is the first time TAM has ordered engines from Rolls-Royce and follows a previous announcement of the aircraft order made by Airbus. TAM has placed an order for 27 A350-XWBs.
Libano Barroso, President of TAM Airlines said, "Our selection of this engine and aircraft combination is an integral step in our strategy to increase both our domestic and international route structure, responding to the rapidly developing capacity demands from and to Brazil. The operational capability and fuel efficiency of the latest generation in the Trent family will make this aircraft a significant addition to our fleet."
Mark King, Rolls-Royce, President, Civil Aerospace said: "TAM has placed its trust in our world class technology by selecting the Trent XWB, which is the most fuel efficient large engine ever built. This order is underpinned by a comprehensive TotalCare engine maintainance package, which will help TAM maximise its use of our technology. We look forward to developing our relationship with TAM Airlines as these aircraft enter service."
The Trent XWB, specifically designed for the Airbus A350-XWB, is the fastest selling Rolls-Royce Trent engine offering 28 per cent better fuel efficiency than pre-Trent generation engines.
More than 1,100 Trent XWB engines have been sold to 36 customers, with current orders extending beyond 2020.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,500 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Annual underlying revenues were £10.8 billion in 2010, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £59.2 billion at 31 December 2010, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 39,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2010, Rolls-Royce invested £923 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce has been present in Latin America for more than 50 years and continues to play a key role in the development of this important region in each of its four markets. Today the company holds 46 per cent market share in the civil aerospace widebody sector in Latin America.
- TotalCare, tailored for individual operators, offers a range of services from Rolls-Royce covering all aspects of asset management in support of its Civil Aerospace products.
- Building on the company's knowledge, experience and infrastructure, these services include elements such as predictive maintenance, logistics management, and global repair and overhaul offerings. TotalCare can remove uncertainties from engine management and improve operational reliability for operators.
- In 2010, Rolls-Royce won a $100 million share of an order from TAM Airlines for V2500 engines to power ten Airbus aircraft, including a long-term engine service agreement.
- TAM Airline's current Rolls-Royce fleet consists of 2 Trent 500-powered Airbus A340s, which were acquired in a previous airline transaction.
- TAM leads the Brazilian domestic airline market, flying to over 40 destinations in Brazil. Last year, TAM announced its intention to merge with Chilean operator LAN Airlines to form the LATAM Airlines Group. Once combined, LATAM will be one of the top 15 airlines in the world in terms of both passengers and revenue.

Yummy! Love Lady Cream, no one raised any around here last year :-( I'm thinking though last time they got around $6.00 a quart shelled. Good Luck!! |
Thanks so much for the information. I had my first mess out of the garden last week and they were so yummy it was beyond belief! I've since found, however, that I have no free Saturdays for a few weeks and guess what?! The peas are ready!!! Am now thinking of approaching a few chiefs in town who I know try to buy local and organic. But, I live in South Texas and most people down here don't even know what a pea is, much less want to add them to their menu! It's gonna be a tough sale. Will keep you updated, |

Retailing | Image Comics took seven of the Top 20 spots on Nielsen BookScan's list of graphic novels sold in bookstores in May, with multiple volumes of Saga and The Walking Dead once again appearing, joined by the first collection of Sex Criminals. Kodansha Comics took six spots, with the most recent volume of Attack on Titan at the top of the chart, followed by the first volume. Four more volumes were scattered around the list.

Comics A.M. | Filling void left by Atomic Comics bankruptcy
Retailing | In the wake of the August closing of the Atomic Comics chain, Mesa, Arizona-area retailers are searching for ways to diversify in an attempt to keep their own stores afloat.

Creators | Mike Mignola talks about his plans for next year's Hellboy in Hell: "It's a personal story about him, but with huge ramifications for the structure of Hell. I'm trying to get Hellboy free of the giant, Beast-of-the-Apocalypse storyline. That story has to get bigger before it can be put away. This first arc is the culmination of all the prophecy crap I've been trotting out throughout the years. We put a lot of things to bed." Mignola also discusses his plans for B.P.R.D. and why he can't watch the pilot of The Amazing Screw-On Head. [io9]

The sys admin's daily grind: Terminator
Friend or Foe?
Friends are all about friendship – names and appearances typically don't play any role at all. Sys admin Charly's friend the Terminator is a convincing example.
I work with it almost daily, and we've even spent many nights together: the Terminator. Of course, I don't mean the cyborg character from the movie of that name. The Terminator that I'm talking about is a useful tool for arranging terminals, and I've been using it for some time now as a stand-in for the Gnome shell.

Hi Annie,
I hope you had a good weekend. The weather was terrible around here. I didn't even leave the house on Sat. Sunday we went to visit the folks and then I just went straight home. Didn't even do any grocery shopping.
I do have the whole day off on Wednesday, so I need to get up early and hit Costco and my regular grocery store. I still have to figure out exactly what I'm making. I'm so glad I have Wednesday off!
It is very chaotic around here. We moved back down to the first floor and I'm back at my old desk, but things are still a disorganized mess. I'm glad to be back here though.
I have PT today and then I'm heading over to the gym and getting on the bike.
Hi Jean,
I had a good weekend, but I'm super glad this week is a short one! DH and I did our grocery shopping Friday and got that out of the way. Saturday, DD and I went to the big craft show - it was packed! After that we went to her apartment for a bit and then I ran by my son's and picked up Brayden. He stayed with us until about 10:30 Sat. evening. The kids came to pick him up around 9 and stayed to watch the end of our football game. I just can't get enough of Brayden - he's at such a cute stage!!
Yesterday, DH and I went to breakfast, made a quick run to Wal Mart and then picked up mom. She wanted to help me make dressing and her green beans (and I wanted to make her feel useful), so we did that together. When we got to her place, she had lost one guard on her wedding ring (which we have not found) and her billfold (which I found in a shoe box on top of her shoes). She helped me, but couldn't remember from one minute to the next what we had done. She enjoyed her day out, but a full day of it wears on me. And I didn't sleep very well the entire weekend. DH even worked on my shoulder and put Ben Gay and heat on it, to no avail. I'm so glad my ortho appointment is tomorrow - I hope they can help!!!
I decided to work the 1/2 day Wednesday, hoping that I can get away early since harldy anyone will be here. The only thing I haven't done is make my pumpkin spice cake and I'll do that Wednesday afternoon. Tomorrow will be short because of my dr. appt and then Wed. will be short, too - so I can make it!!
I hope you dr. appt. goes well. The PT appt. was helpful. I have been assigned some exercise, and I think they will help. I did go to the gym and got on the bike afterwards. They have a movie room, so it makes it a little more painless. I can watch the movie instead of watch the minutes drag by on the bike. I'm wearing my compression sock now too. The PT made me order medium, but I really think I needed a large. Anyway we'll see how it goes. I did weigh in and was down 1 lb. from last week. Yay! I am fasting again tomorrow, since there's no way I can fast on Turkey Day. It may be a challenge because I will be doing food related things all day, but I'm doing it.
Tomorrow I have to get up way early and hit those stores. I still am not sure exactly what I'm making. I have to plan that out tonight. I'm working 10 hours today. We are so busy that they want us to come in all week for comp time (if we want to). I think I'll pass.
My poor Dad, his neck is hurting, and he is so stubborn that he doesn't even have any kind of painkiller in the house. I told him to go pick up some advil when he goes out today. I really hope he does. Now I need to look up and print out some recipes before I have to start work! I'll check back later.
I'm glad the PT is helping. All of our equipment has TVs attached, which does make exercise a little better. I love the rowing machines, but there is nothing to do while you row, so it is SO boring and time seems to drag. I always watch 'The Talk' while I use the treadmill and the time flies by!
Where did you get your compression socks - my doctor told me to get some when my feet swell. The only problem is that my feet only swell in summer and I'm sure those things would be so darned hot. And how do you wear those with capris?? Yuck.
I'm so glad that my appointment is today. DH leaned over my arm last night and I yelled it hurt so bad. I know it scared him, too - we will both be so glad when it gets better.
I am fasting tomorrow also. I plan to eat a little of everything on turkey day (I love dressing!), but just a normal plate - no stuffing myself. Then on Friday, I will be taking down my fall decorations, putting up the Christmas tree and helping DH put up outside lights. I need to shop and get Brayden a birthday present, but won't venture out on Black Friday. I don't want any part of that!! We will just hang out and enjoy the long weekend.
I should put up my tree this weekend, but I usually do it the next week. We'll see. It takes me a while to get into the Christmas spirit. I will have no part in Black Friday either. I hate that name too, but I think its appropriate. I'm hoping I can get most of my presents at craft fairs. There are usually some good ones around here. The last few years I crocheted gifts for my girlfriends and sisters etc., but I just didn't get around to it this time.
I got the socks from some website that my PT recommended. A company called BrightLife Direct. I'm not sure that its really helping. My ankle does look swollen. Maybe eventually it will help.
I still need to look up some recipes, so I'll be ready for the mad shopping tomorrow. My Dad has put off shopping because the weather has been so terrible this week and his neck hurts. Its still cold, but at least the sun is peaking out and its not raining today. I'm ready for some warm Texas fall weather again! It feels like the middle of Winter around here now. I've been having to run an electric heater in my bedroom and bathroom.
Have a great holiday!!!!!
Hi again,
I think putting up the tree will put me in the Christmas spirit. There are only 29 days left!! I don't have shopping except for kids and grandkids. We usually send DH's grandkids money and Brayden is easy to buy for. DH and I are going to use our Cabo trip as our Christmas gift to each other. I wanted to go back to the craft show on Sunday, but was committed to mom.
I'm heading out of here at 2. I have to check in at the doctor to fill out forms and my appt is at 3. Hope it doesn't take forever - I would like a nice long everning!!
I hope the grocery stores are not CRAZY tomorrow!! Enjoy your long holiday, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will talk to you Monday!!

I think it's not just Americans, it's human nature, for most of us to be compassionate and want to help others in a time of crisis. I'd like to think that many people would run to help rescue others if they were in that situation.Â
The propoganda outlets have to continually show you this to keep the "horror" of this horrible (probably staged) event so that it is fresh in your mind when they come out with even more freedom killing laws.
 Lots about the many in Boston but what about the coverage of the 15 first responders dead in West Texas?Â
