It's just fiction, folks!...should not be read by anyone under 18 (or whatever the "appropriate" age to start having sexual thoughts in your state is!)WARNING: This first chapter of the story does not feature what could considered overtly sexual scenes, but is a neccesary read for the next chapter, which should feature enough "good stuff" to make y'all happy :-)**********************"After School At Boston Public" By Rychard I felt my body go numb. My legs were on the verge of collapsing. My head was spinning. Any minute, I knew the tears would be flowing. I had to get out of there! I couldn't -- no, I WOULDN'T -- let them see me cry! I snapped myself out of my daze, and ran out of the Principal's office. The last bell of the school day had rung about half-an-hour earlier, so the halls were pretty empty, except for those students held after for detention, or the few students who stayed after for extracurricular activities. A banner hanging from the top of the hallway caught my attention. There it was, mocking me in bright yellow letters on maroon paper: "Congratulations, Graduates!" That was the final straw. I felt my cheeks heat up, and my eyes began to sting. I ducked away into a private area underneath the stairwell. I leaned against the wall, and slid down, bringing my hands to my face, sobbing uncontrollably. I thought of my parents. How were they going to react to this? How was I going to tell them that their one and only son had failed his last semester of Government, and thereby would not be graduating high school? I could already see the look of utter heartbreak and disappointment on my mother's face. And my dad...we'd always had such a rocky relationship. First he had found my secret collection of gay porn in a hidden folder on my computer, and now I wasn't going to be graduating. Now that I was eighteen, I didn't doubt that he would think twice about kicking me out onto the street. "Hey, what's wrong," a man's voice asked. I looked up, startled as I wiped away my tears and tried to bring myself to my feet. Through my tear-soaked eyes, I recognized the man as Mr. Senate. He was one of the school's most popular teachers, based mainly because of his reckless reputation. He had fired off a gun in class. He started the infamous Suicide Club that took frequent field trips to the local morgue. And rumor had it that he had once kissed one of his female students. I never had him as a teacher, but had admired him from afar. He seemed to live life by his own rules and didn't care what others thought. I only wished I could live my life like that. He grabbed my hand and helped me stand up. "You're Christopher Collins, right," he asked me. "Yeah," I said, "how'd you--?" I cut myself off. I had been outted a few months earlier by someone I had considered to be a good friend. It seemed two minutes after I told her that I was gay, the entire school knew who I was. Ls Lolita Preview Including the teachers. "Are Ls Lolita Preview the kids hassling you again," Mr. Senate asked. I shook my head "no." I didn't want to talk to anyone. I tried walking past him, but again he grabbed me, this time by the shoulder. "Then what's wrong Chris?" Hearing him calling me Chris instead of Christopher somehow made me feel like I could open up to him. And there seemed to be genuine concern in his voice. I wasn't used to hearing that from a man. "I--I'm not graduating," I said. Saying the words out loud opened the flood gates again. I didn't realize I had that many tears in me. My body was shaking, and I couldn't look Mr. Senate in the eyes. Before I could tell what was happening, I felt his strong arms wrap around me. He was hugging me. And I let him. I began crying on his shoulder. He hadn't said more than five sentences to me, but I was sharing more emotion with him than I had ever dared to show anyone. I don't know how long we stood there, but finally, after what seemed like an eternity, my sobs died down, and I had no more tears in me left to shed. He gently pulled away from me and smiled softly. "Listen," he said, "I was just gonna go home and enjoy a good-old fashioned TV dinner and catch up on my soaps. But I might be willing to put that off if you wanna talk." I smiled, and nodded my head. "Come on," Mr. Senate said, as he put his arm around my shoulder and led me to his classroom downstairs, the room that had been nicknamed "The Dungeon." As we walked into his classroom, I suddenly became fully aware of how alone we were. The hallways upstairs had been somewhat populated with a few random students and teachers, but down here, in the nether-regions of the school, it was just the two of us. I remembered that when I first started school here at Winslow High, Mr. Senate was the first teacher I saw. I was instantly attracted to him. He was as good-looking as they came: dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, a look of mystery and mischievous masked across his handsome face. I secretly carried around my crush on him throughout my four years at the school, never thinking too much of it. I assumed every high school student had at least one teacher they fantasized about. Mine just happened to be another guy. Unfortunately I had never had the opportunity to be taught by him. He was in charge of the more remedial classes, while I was stuck in the advanced classes because of those stupid standardized tests I seemed to excel in. The faculty of WHS didn't fully comprehend that just because I could do well on tests didn't mean I'd do well in advanced classes. "Sit down," Mr. Senate told me. I sat in a chair near his desk, assuming he'd sit at his teacher's desk. But he didn't. He sat at the seat right next to me. "From what I've heard from the other teachers," he said to me, "you seem like a pretty smart guy." "Well, no offense Mr. Senate," I said, "but teachers don't know everything. You guys think because I get high scores on those stupid county tests that I belong in the advanced classes." "I know Ms. Davis has told me many times that you've gotten some of the highest scores possible on those tests." "Sure, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna do well in the classes. There's a big difference between taking some test and doing a year's worth of work that would double or even triple what the average student has to do." "I understand that," Mr. Senate replied, nodding as if he agreed wholeheartedly with what I was saying. "Nobody said the system's perfect." "So I have to be punished for it's imperfections? That's not fair!" "Well life's not fair. Get over it." I glared at him. Even when he said something that was completely rude, I still felt like I could open up to him. I couldn't understand how he did that. "When Mr. Harper called me into his office," I said, "I knew he was going to give me bad news. I could just feel it." "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure." "You failed Government, right?" "Yeah." "Well, again, Ms. Davis used to brag to me that you were her brightest student in the class. Why the big change all of a sudden this last semester?" "Do you even have to ask me that?" He stared long and hard at me before answering. "I don't think that your sexual orientation has anything to do with your capacity to learn." "No, it doesn't. But how others react to it sure does. I couldn't even walk down the hall without someone calling me a fag everyday. Hearing that day after day eats away at me. So much so that I couldn't even stand to come to school. So I didn't." "Well that was stupid of you." "Don't you think I know that, Mr. Senate? I mean, at first, my classes only suffered a little bit. I went from B's to C's. No big deal. But eventually, I just started giving up. I can't tell you why, I don't even know why. It just didn't seem important to me anymore. So C's became D's. And then...well, my Dad found out. And all of a sudden I had a new `inspiration' to do better. And I got most of my grades back up, except for Government. I missed too much, I fell too far behind. The tests just kept getting harder and harder...and before I knew it, there was the F on my final exam." As I told him all this, I surprised myself by not crying. I just said it all in a completely unaffected tone. Something inside me gave up. I realized this was the end. As soon as my Dad found out, no matter how much my mom begged him not to, I'd be kicked out on the street. I looked off to the side, my heart sinking. Mr. Senate leaned in closer to me. "It's not that bad. You can take summer school, and get your diploma as early as July." "Yeah, like that'll make a difference." "Chris, listen to me. You can't give up. You can't let some fucking grade bring you down!" "Well that fucking grades gonna end up putting me on the streets and penniless!" The exhilaration of cussing in front of a teacher who just cussed was unbelievable. "Well look," Mr. Senate said, "if all else fails, you could just sell your body on the streets." "What?!" "I mean, you're gay already, so all you gotta do is fuck some old guys, and before you know it, you'll have some cash in your pockets." Ls Lolita Preview I looked at him in disbelief. He had to be joking. "It's really a simple solution." "It's a dangerous solution. Not to mention fucking stupid. And highly unlikely." "Exactly. You're a smart kid, Chris. Even if your dad kicks you out, you're gonna get by." I looked at him, and began to laugh. He simply smiled back. "You're crazy, you know that," I asked him. "I've been told that once or twice by an angry parent or two. But that's usually after I fire a gun off in class." We both laughed. I don't know how he did it, but he got my mind off my troubles. Here I was, sitting in "The Dungeon," and laughing my ass off. After a few minutes, he stood up and walked towards his desk. I saw him pull out a piece of paper and a pen, and write down something. "Here," he said, "this is my home phone number. I don't usually give this out to my students for fear of seeing it carved into the Boys Bathroom under the phrase: `For A Good Time, Call...' but I'll make an exception for you." "Man," I said, "that really means a lot to me." "Well, you seem like a great kid. You're gonna do fine." "You keep calling me a kid, but I'm 18." "Are you kidding me, compared to me, you're a freaking baby." "How old are you?" "Look," he laughed, "I gave you my phone number, that's enough info for ya." I smiled, and suddenly felt very very brave. I don't know if it was his affect on me, or the fact that school was over in less than a week, or what, but I heard myself saying things I never thought I'd say." "Mr. Senate, I've had a crush on you for four years." He became very still, as he maintained eye contact with me. I think he was scared to turn away in fear of having me think he was rejecting me. "I'm not telling you this to get a reaction from you," I explained to him. "It's just that in this last hour, you've been great to me. And we've never even talked before. It's no wonder you're voted Teacher Of The Year by the students every year. I know I always vote for you. But Ls Lolita Preview that's because I..." "Because you `like' me?" "Yeah. And I know there's the rumor that you kissed that student of yours, um, Dana Poole?" "That's not really your business." "I know. And I'm not trying to make you mad. I'm sorry." "Don't be. I just don't like talking about that." There was a long silence between us, as it dawned on me that I didn't Ls Lolita Preview really know what I had hoped to accomplish by telling him what I had said. I didn't really expect him to say he felt the same about me. He didn't even know me. And everyone knew that he used to date fellow teacher Ms. Davis. "Christopher..." Uh-oh, bad sign, I thought. He was back to calling me by my full name. "I'm flattered you'd think of me that way. I mean, in college, I always kinda hoped that one day I'd achieve the status of Young Gay Man's fantasy." He laughed at his own joke. "But seriously folks...I'm flattered. I really am." He took a few steps closer to me as continued to sit. He leaned down close to me, and I felt my heart begin to race. He smiled at me, and then leaned over and kissed me on my cheek. I nearly died. I knew he was only doing it to be kind or something, but I was grateful to him. "Harry," boomed another man's voice. Mr. Senate pulled away from me, and we both turned to see Mr. Harper, the principal, standing in the doorway of the classroom. "What the HELL is going on here," he yelled.

When Pilate heard what they said, he took Jesus outside and sat on the judge's seat in a place called Stone Pavement. (In Hebrew it is called Gabbatha.) The time was about six o'clock in the morning on the Friday of the Passover festival. Pilate said to the Jews, "Look, here's your king!"
Then the Jews shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?" The chief priests responded, "The emperor is the only king we have!"
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took Jesus. He carried his own cross and went out of the city to a location called The Skull. (In Hebrew this place is called Golgotha.) The soldiers crucified Jesus and two other men there. Jesus was in the middle.
ilate wrote a notice and put it on the cross. The notice read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the king of the Jews." Many Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The notice was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
The chief priests of the Jewish people told Pilate, "Don't write, 'The king of the Jews!' Instead, write, 'He said that he is the king of the Jews.'"
Pilate replied, "I have written what I've written."
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them four ways so that each soldier could have a share. His robe was left over. It didn't have a seam because it had been woven in one piece from top to bottom. The soldiers said to each other, "Let's not rip it apart. Let's throw dice to see who will get it." In this way the Scripture came true: "They divided my clothes among themselves. They threw dice for my clothing." So that's what the soldiers did. John 19:13-24, GW
I guess it is silly, really, to talk about a king without a country. Calling him the "king of Israel" when he as riding on that donkey was a stretch. But this—the king of the Jews bloody and naked and hanging on a cross—is even more of a stretch. This borders on the ridiculous and absurd. Who would ever believe that Jesus of Nazareth was really any kind of king, looking up at him hanging there by the side of the road? No wonder they made fun and jeered as they passed by.
I can see in my mind the spot where some people think they planted that stake in the ground. It is right outside the old city wall on the north side, there beside the road. Behind it there is the cliff with holes eaten into it by rain and wind. And even today it looks like a skull. They've turned it into the city bus yard, that area in
front of the Place of the Skull. It is full of diesel buses. People still think, I suppose, that the whole idea is silly—a king crucified. So they put a bus barn in the place where some think he died.
The Dome of the Rock—now there is a place to preserve, protect, and kill over. That right there—that is the geographical center of the world. This ridiculous picture of King Jesus hanging on a cross outside the city walls has become the centerpiece of
our faith. The writer of the Book of Hebrews sums it up in this way (Heb. 13:11-14): "The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come."
So we are called to "go to him outside the camp." The camp is the visible kingdom, the collective abode-- literally a camp in the desert where they pitched their tents. Here it is compared to a city. And we, like Abraham, are "looking for a city which has foundations whose builder and maker is God" (Heb. 11:10).
Christians are people who believe in Jesus as king. We are people who believe that the crucified life is the right way to live. We believe that love trumps power. We believe that serving is living. We are willing to live outside the camp if that is how it must be. We are also willing to work for the kingdom of God within the camp
if we are given opportunity. We are citizens of the shadow kingdom, the invisible kingdom of God where Jesus reigns as king.
For us, the sign on the cross says it all. Everybody say "Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews." We cannot know the full import of these words nor can we appreciate fully the emotions of these events. We view them and hear them from afar. We did not live on this planet in that fateful moment when Jesus was handed over to the soldiers. Our feet did not press that pavement. Our ears did not hear the hammer.
But let's walk to the foot of the cross in our minds and hearts this morning and take a look at this sign that Governor Pilate crafted and insisted be nailed to the cross.

tbx5, a member of the T-box gene family, encodes one of the key transcription factors mediating vertebrate heart development. Tbx5 function in heart development appears to be exquisitely sensitive to gene dosage, since both haploinsufficiency and gene duplication generate the cardiac abnormalities associated with Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS), a highly penetrant autosomal dominant disease characterized by congenital heart defects of varying severity and upper limb malformation. It is suggested that tight integration of microRNAs and transcription factors into the cardiac genetic circuitry provides a rich and robust array of regulatory interactions to control cardiac gene expression. Based on these considerations, we performed an in silico screening to identify microRNAs embedded in genes highly sensitive to Tbx5 dosage. Among the identified microRNAs, we focused our attention on miR-218-1 that, together with its host gene, slit2, is involved in heart development. We found correlated expression of tbx5 and miR-218 during cardiomyocyte differentiation of mouse P19CL6 cells. In zebrafish embryos, we show that both Tbx5 and miR-218 dysregulation have a severe impact on heart development, affecting early heart morphogenesis. Interestingly, down-regulation of miR-218 is able to rescue the heart defects generated by tbx5 over-expression supporting the notion that miR-218 is a crucial mediator of Tbx5 in heart development and suggesting its possible involvement in the onset of heart malformations.

Bhutan - I know that memory loss treatment can involve hypnosis or even art therapy.
With patients that suffer from dementia, art therapy is a good form of treatment because they can express themselves freely in the art and the therapist can ask them questions in order to help them understand and possibly improve their cognitive abilities.
They may also have family members bring scrap books so that the patient could be exposed to the past and possibly trigger some memories.
People with dementia do have moments of clarity so this option might also work.
Hypnosis is also great treatment option when the sudden loss of memory is due to a traumatic experience.
In this situation the subconscious mind is blocking out the painful memories as a coping mechanism.
Since a person in this state cannot verbalize the source of their problem, a psychiatrist through the use of hypnosis will be able to determine the source of the pain and create therapeutic treatment options as well as drug therapy in order to help the patient deal with their sudden memory loss.

Vivid Dreams
Have you been experiencing a lot of strange dreams lately? Perhaps you have dreamt about walking around naked in front of a crowd? Maybe you have dreamt that you have given birth to a chipmunk or even a fish? Though these dreams may be strange, rest assured they are a very common occurrence during pregnancy. In fact, the majority of pregnant women report an increasing number of vivid dreams throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy. But why do these vivid dreams occur so frequently during pregnancy and what can you do about them?
Dream Deluge
Pregnancy is a time of many changes, both physical and emotional. From morning sickness to breast tenderness, mood swings to constipation, the changes often seem limitless when it comes to pregnancy. And one of the biggest changes that pregnant women notice is an increase in their number of dreams. You may notice that you experience an increase in all types of dreams, including:
- joyful dreams
- anxiety dreams
- nightmares
You may also notice that your dreams appear to be more detailed than normal, and are filled with fantastic colors and more vivid features than prior to pregnancy.
Are Pregnancy Dreams Normal?
Though these vivid dreams can often be confusing and even frightening, it is entirely normal to experience a large number of dreams during pregnancy. There are a variety of reasons that can help explain this dramatic increase in dreams:
- Pregnancy Hormones: Throughout your pregnancy, your body pumps out a variety of different hormones, including progesterone and estrogen. It is thought that these hormones affect the way we sleep at night, causing us to experience longer periods of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that our minds begin to dream.
- Increased Waking: Pregnant women are much more likely to wake up during the night than women who aren't pregnant. Whether you have a leg cramp or a backache, you may find that you wake up several times every night. When your body wakes up from a deep sleep, it has better dream recall than it would had you slept through the night. This means that you may be experiencing more vivid dreams simply because your body is better at recalling them.
- Pregnancy Anxiety: Pregnancy is a time of distinct changes, many of which are scary and overwhelming. You probably have a number of anxieties over becoming a parent: for instance, you may worry how you will handle having a baby and if you will be a capable mother. Our subconscious mind often works through these anxieties while we are sleeping, in the form of dreams.
Common Pregnancy Dreams
Many pregnant women experience dreams that are similar in content or theme. Some commonly-reported pregnancy dreams include:
- dreams of falling
- dreams of running
- dreams of being trapped
- dreams of baby's gender
- dreams of baby's appearance
- dreams of labor and delivery
Don't be surprised if many of these are unpleasant in nature. Because of all the anxiety and stress that pregnant women experience, dreams often take on a frightening tone. But this is simply your mind's way of working out your worries and fears. You will also find that much of your excitement about pregnancy also translates into your dreams.
Dream Development by Trimester
Many dream studies have shown that dreams tend to change from trimester to trimester of pregnancy. During the first trimester, women have reported dreaming of water and water symbols. This may be because of the increased amniotic fluid inside of your womb. During the second trimester, women report an increase in dreams about animals. This could be triggered by the your baby's increased development and movement inside of your body. And during the third trimester, dreams are much more likely to be about baby himself, and may focus on giving birth or caring for baby after he is born.
Dealing with Your Dreams
Many women find that their vivid pregnancy dreams are quite enjoyable, while others find them disturbing and worrisome. However you feel, it is important not to take your dreams literally.
Dreams are made up of various images and emotions that are present in the subconscious, and don't contain literal meaning. However, you may find it useful to record the basic themes of your dreams, so that you can discuss them with your partner or friends. Discussing dreams is a great way to make sense of them, and can often help take the worry out of frightening ones. It can also be good for a much-needed laugh sometimes too!
If you find that you are still worried about your dreams even after discussing them with your partner, discuss them with your health care provider. She can reassure you that everything is just fine with you and baby.
Goodnight, Sleep Tight
If you are finding that your pregnancy dreams are really interrupting your sleep patterns, here are a few tips to ensure that you get a good night's sleep!
- Try to ensure that your room is cool and dark. Remove all electronics (such as radios and televisions) and put away anything that might increase your anxiety (like that pile of laundry waiting to be washed!).
- Avoid exercising before bedtime. Instead, find time to exercise during the day.
- Avoid drinking a lot of water right before bed. If you drink a lot, you will find that you wake up during the night with a full bladder, which could actually increase the number of dreams that you experience.
- Do your best to clear your mind of all anxieties and worries before bedtime. Try a few relaxing stretches or breathing exercises to help clear your mind.

Judge blocks Consent Agreement between Detroit and Michigan until at least March 29
DETROIT (WXYZ) - An Ingham County judge has put the brakes on a possible Consent Agreement between the state and the city of Detroit.
The ruling will keep the city and the state from enacting a Consent Agreement, at least until a Show Cause hearing is held March 29.
However, the Financial Review team examining Detroit's finances has until March 26 to present their recommendation to Governor Snyder. A Consent Agreement was one possible recommendation, as is the appointment of an Emergency Manager.
The ruling comes as the Detroit City Council addressed Mayor Bing's Consent Agreement counter-proposal during their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.
The mayor's proposal is in response to Governor Rick Snyder's proposed Consent Agreement, which Mayor Bing has openly opposed.
Mayor Bing's office sent what is being called the Financial Stability Agreement to the City Council Sunday evening. No details about what the agreement entails have been released.
Mayor Bing's office says the agreement was constructed with input from both his staff and staff from City Council. He sent out a statement saying it was sent over to City Council Monday.
The statement reads as follows:
Sunday evening my team sent a draft of a Financial Stability Agreement to Detroit City Council members as a counter-proposal to Governor Snyder's draft consent agreement. It was prepared with the input of both my staff and Detroit City Council staff.
The purpose of this Financial Stability Agreement is to give the City the appropriate tools to address the City's financial crisis and preserve the rights of Detroiters to be governed by the City's elected officials.
As I've said repeatedly, I have no problem accepting help from the state, and this agreement includes an advisory board that provides the state a vehicle to monitor the city's progress. This draft agreement also includes a mechanism to establish a budget and limit spending, while providing reporting obligations to the board.
But this counter-proposal purposefully shifts from the language of a consent agreement by recognizing the current legal vulnerabilities of Public Act 4. It is designed to provide a reliable roadmap for the City and State to collaborate in resolving the city's short-term cash flow challenges and long-term structural changes.
My executive staff plans to meet with Council members over the next couple of days to get their feedback to complete a final draft this week. We believe this is an appropriate compromise to the Governor's proposed consent agreement, and hope we to reach a consensus with the Council, the Governor and the Treasurer.
Mayor Bing and the City Council had hoped to send their counter proposal to the governor soon. It's not clear how Tuesday's ruling will affect that process.

When I first saw this GIF I was kind of horrified at what I saw. It's basically a 5-second clip of a young kid and a cat on a bed. The kid is crying while the cat is just staring at him. Suddenly he smacks the cat and you see the cat hiss and then attack the kid, who subsequently falls off the bed holding his face. This is where the GIF ends.
My first instinct is to defend the cat – full disclosure, I'm a cat guy – but there's no context as to why the toddler was crying. My own guess is that the cat was probably meowing and the kid didn't like that and began crying – babies tend to cry a lot. It's certainly possible that the cat was hissing at the child before the clip actually started but we just don't know.
Anyway, check out the GIF and judge for yourself if one or the other or maybe both were in the wrong.

Your Pop Alternative Source
In late December, we caught up with Adam and Markus for a chat over at TeaNY in NYC. Over a cup of tea, we talked about their genesis, the songwriting process, and some of the differences between the US and Scandinavia.
Tell me about music listeners in Sweden. Do you feel that they're more into domestic music or artists from the US and UK?
M: It's a small country so you have to look abroad. You have to be interested in the rest of the world. Music in the Swedish language is easier to break through in Sweden because there is this language filter. It's a good crowd in Sweden, they're interested.
A: We have good festivals. A lot of American bands and bands from the UK will play because they know Swedes are really into it. Smaller bands like War on Drugs – I mean just amazing shows.
Do you guys still live in Sweden?
A: Yes. Actually in a month from now we're going to be neighbors [laughs].
M: The Serenades mansion! [laughs].
Check out the full interview over on DeathAndTaxesMag.com

Team Kristen is freaking out after she cheated on Rob with a married man. They are trying to downplay the affair as much as they can to various media outlets, an inside source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
After photos surfaced of Kristen Stewart, 22, getting cozy with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, 41, who is married with two kids, people around Kristen are trying to spin the story as a quick fling instead of an affair.
When the news broke that Kristen made out with director Rupert Sanders, Team Kristen went into immediate action.
"They want to paint the picture that it was NOT an affair, merely 'a fling' and that Kristen is absolutely devastated. Team Kristen is desperately trying to do as much damage control as possible," an inside source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
People surrounding Kristen "are worried that this news will ruin Kristen's career because she will lose so many of her fans. Lets just say everyone is freaking out right now!"
Rupert was signed on to direct the sequel to SWATH – will he stay on board after this news?
UPDATE: "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," Kristen told People on July 25.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers?

Oh God… Why does everyone call women a hoe when she makes with two diferent people, and when a guy does that, its only natural because hes a guy. >< Why enyone doesint tolk about the director? Hes also to blame…. God stop blaming Kristan for thes… Rob is not a litlle kid he can take it like a man and deal with it. Its there problam and not yours to decide whos guiltyer at this situation.

Noone said it wasn't the directors fault, in fact he is Just as much to blame as Kristen is and the fact that he has children makes him an even bigger slime because his children are going to have to suffer if their parents separate!! But this particular story is about Kristen and Rob and that is why she is being dubbed a hoe!! If you go to any story focused on Rupert and Liberty I bet you will read a lot of bashing on him to.
Look at the bright side

Us Weekly ran a story Nebula how deceiving Kristen Rob with the director of SWATH. He even published a photo that was mounted with clarity.
I say this because they want you to believe all the nonsense that newspapers are published. Here are the facts that are so obvious:
1) This picture was taken presumably on July 17. Kristen spent the day playing golf with his father in another state! And we have 1,000 pictures as proof!
2) Kristen in that photo has a long, black hair, and every fan knows that her hair is not black since May, when it was painted in brown for the overdubs P2 BD
3) Do you believe that any paparazzi who stumbles on a story so juicy that does just a photo? Because they have only a photo.No! Last week there were like 100 pictures of her just entered the car and this was much more interesting for them. :-)
4) Us Weekly, after being attacked by fans because of this cover, removed the image from your own site. If this were true they would stand behind him.
5) Rupert denied this regard and said that he is happily married and was going to sue the magazine for libel.
6) Even if this is true, that she cheated on him, do you think would do that on the street where everyone can see that?
Please know that all is not that kind of girl!
There you go, these are facts and you decide to believe, the magazine that wants to increase sales (which is not the only one who is publishing this kind of news about them) or I and millions of fans who believe and support. They remain strong, we all saw that the TCA. Also in the previous issues have been married, have "killed" the pregnant and have none of that happened … is not logical.

Exactly, She and Rupert have both made public apologies to their families and fans for their unexceptable behavior and the hurt that they have caused everyone!!
At first I didn't necessarily believe it either, but when the photo's were released (of which there are a few) and then the apologies were made, It became clear to everyone that something did happen between the two of them.
And Golfing is a 4-5 hour day maybe, there could have still been plenty of time left after she went golfing that she could have flew home and met up with Rupert and had her make out session!! But even that said, It's my understanding that she was golfing on July 20th, not the 17th, if that is the case then she had her whole day free to meet up with him!!
As for the hair, different lighting can make a persons hair look different, I am blonde but I have photo's of myself looking light brown, just depends on the way the lighting is.
I believe entirely that she cheated on Rob, The only question I have is 'How long was she cheating for??' Was this a one day deal or was the affair going on for awhile behind their partners backs?? We may never know?!!!

Really? Are we really gonna swallow this cr-p? NO. HW, jealous fans, and fame whores can not stand it when two people find love, stay to themselves, and don't follow the typical HW rules. HW will find a wedge, any wedge, to come between these two and pit fans against one another. Don't fall for this crap. Someone should be ashamed of themselves and it's not Kristen or Rupert, they are the victims here; they haven't done anything to deserve this fabricated story. True Twillight, Kristen and Rob fans will know better and stand united. LONG LIVE ROBSTEN!!!!
They need to sue someone's ass here.

Kristen Stewart has actually admitted to wrong doing and issued a public apology to Rob and her Fans… she does regert doing what she did and admits that she is very much in love with Rob and is sorry for hurting him!! I do hope they can get past this, they are a great couple, "Bella and Edward" had major chemistry on screen and clearly have it going on in their real everyday lives!! While I don't condone cheating in any way, I do think that couples can get through it if they are in love and want to make it work! But I think "The ball is in Rob's court", He should be the one to decide if their relationship is worth saving since he was the one hurt in all of this!!

Are you kidding ?this is so obvious. Did anyone notice Stewart's answers were more mature during swath press? Trying to impress an older man . Lol.
Stewart will start a relationship with Rupert when his wife dumps him.
She can be the one haunting his next set trying to keep the next starlet away.
. Is Jennifer lawerence single? Someone please hook her up with pattinson so he can give stewart the finger from the oscars one day,

@Jj…I must give you 'koddos' on your post!!! I couldn't have said it better myself! I think you got it right,which is more then I can say for SOooo many ppl involved whether their on the inside OR the outside. Obviously there are A LOT of ppl that haven't got a clue about abt what type of person K. has proved to be~ before and after the fact.You said something abt how K. "will be "Haunting" his next set" but I'm thinking that the proper word might be 'Stalking' ! :} so,anyway,I just wanted to let ya' know that I totally and completely agree with your point of view abt K. and how predictable she is! But IF R. ends up being stupid enough to take her back it I'm thinking that it most likely will effect HIS career and I can really see his career taking off at this point…just hoping he doesn't 'BLOW' it like K. did(LOL)…thx for sharing. # ANYONE out there agree? Any feedback?
Team Edward:)
Posted at 11:51 AM on July 25, 2012
I don't see how it being a "fling" as opposed to an "affair" can really justify what was done?!! Whether a person is spending months of having sex and lusting over another… or they share just one intimate kiss and that be all it is STILL cheating and it is still wrong!! I get that people make mistakes and (((IF))) this did happen and Kristen feels remorse and guilt over it then I completely understand that as well. But for her "team" to try and justify it by saying it was a stupid decision on her part but it was NOT an affair is just silly to me!!
So I guess if I choose to go and share a steamy passionate kiss with a guy friend without my husband knowing it should be ok then? Because it is JUST a kiss, nothing more?!!
Posted at 11:29 AM on July 25, 2012
She needs to pleasure him with her tongue, maybe a rim job and offering him some ana! will make things better. Kristan you are going to have to work really hard and you'll probably want some knee pads so you can focus on fixing the relationship. But start in the kneeling position

YOU IDIOTS. Don't you know better than to believe tabloids, magazines, INTERNET, etc.? US Weekly said they took the photo on July 17. Kristen was in MALIBU golfing with her dad & the director was in LONDON. Gosh, you'd think out of all the crazy shit that's been passed around Hollywood, people would know better.

FAKE PHOTOSS OF KRISTEN STEWART, THE ARTICLE IS A LIE HERE ARE PROOF SEE THE PHOTOS : https://twitter.com/SPatz_Belikov/status/228122961213800448/photo/1 and this one http://twitpic.com/abjwu4 The ear looks strange, u can see is photoshopped http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7pi5n1ZPF1qaq9jjo1_400.gif THEY USE THE PHOTO WHEN SHE LEAVE BOBBY LONG CONCERT AT LA!!!! READ THIS AND U WOULD SEE WHY THE ARTICLE ABOUT KRISTEN CHEATS ON ROBERT PATTINSON IS FALSE, AND THE PHOTO FAKE. 1) This picture was supposedly taken 17th July. Kristen spent that day playing golf with her father in another state! And we have 1000 photos as proof!
2) Kristen in this photo have a long, black hair, and every fan knows that her hair is not black since May when it was painted in brown for the BD part 2 re-shoots.
3) Do you think that any paparazzo who stumbles on such a juicy story would made just one photo? Because they have only that one photo. No! Last week there were like 100 pictures of her just getting into the car and this is much more interesting for them. :-)
4) Us Weekly has, after they were attacked by fans because of this cover, removed the image from your own site. If this were true they would stand behind it.

@Carolineall…I COMPLETELY disagree with your Post! You need to look at this from ALL angles,not just the one youb choose to,I mean ,of course it's your right to bthink/feel however you'd like abt things,but honestly,let's remember her (insincere) apology that SHE made~doesn't that tell us all something? Obviously SHE had a good thing w/Rob and SHE BLEW IT!!! She needs to do a whole lot of growing-up at this point.Just face the FACTS…SHE'S far too into HERSELF and deserves all the Karma she has coming,and 'Team Stewart' are SIMPLY a bunch-o-Idiots…

Grants, Awards, and Travel Funds
Due July 1, 2015, for funding to begin early October 2015.
The Education and Training Committee and the Committee to Promote Student Interests are pleased to announce that SPR will once again provide Research Fellowship Training Awards. The award will allow students or postdocs to obtain mentorship/training in psychophysiological assessment/analysis with experts in the field, which they could not get at their home institution. This could involve travel to a remote site or travel expenses for a remote mentor to visit the applicant's lab. Each application may include a budget of up to $5,000 U.S. (although smaller budgeted applications are encouraged and would allow for more applications to be funded). Up to $500 of these funds can be used to defray SPR conference travel costs. Applications are short (3-5 pages) but require that applicants, mentors and proposed training sponsors also submit biosketches. Recipients will be announced at the Saturday Business Luncheon at the SPR annual meeting in Seattle. Eligibility for the award requires that applicants, their current mentors and their proposed training sponsors be active members of SPR in good standing and have previous/ongoing involvement with SPR (e.g., attendance at previous SPR meetings). Other things being equal, preference will be given according to history of involvement in SPR. Eligibility for the award further requires attendance at the 2015 SPR meeting; awardees should plan to attend the business lunch unless religious restrictions prevent them from doing so. The deadline for applications will be July 1, 2015. Click here to download an application.
Student Travel Award
SPR has allocated funds for 30 travel awards. Fifteen of these are specifically reserved for award winners within North America, who will receive $500 USD to assist with their travel accommodations while attending the SPR Annual Meeting. The other 15 awards are reserved for non-North American members who will receive $1000 USD. To be eligible, student members must:
- reside outside a 500 mile radius from the annual meeting
- be the first author on a poster or paper accepted for presentation at the annual meeting
- be up to date with dues, or have applied for new membership status
- still have pre-doctoral status (i.e. must not have received their PhD by the time of the meeting)
In addition, student members with travel funds available from the laboratory in which they work are not eligible.
When submitting presentations for the conference, students should apply for the Student Travel Award. A lottery among these student members will be conducted, and eligibility verified with advisors. See previous recipients below.
Each year at the annual conference, three posters authored by students are chosen for the Student Poster Award while 15 other students are rewarded travel awards. To read this year's call for posters, click here.

Derelict Zine Hits Antarctica (No, Really)By Widge - posted 01.22.13 @ 5:51 am
The Need Coffee zine that was masterminded by Rox of Spazhouse and Rob Levy (listed in order of how likely they are to know a random hobo by name), Derelict, has been making the rounds ever since it was premiered at DragonCon this past September. However, just to show how small the world has gotten...it took literally years for us to get a visitor to the site from Antarctica. I checked the logs every month, hoping for somebody to show up. And finally a few years ago they did. But now, just months after the debut of Derelict, it's being read pretty damn near the bottom of the world...at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Indeed, up top you can see it being read at Derelict Junction, which is apparently in the middle of McMurdo. (And really, is there a more apt place to read it? Brilliant.) Don't believe us? More pics after the jump. Huge thanks to Ryan Murphy and the Super Tiger Team for making this zine-dream come true. When you get back, guys, we will hook you up with some coffee. Keep us posted. Click the pics to embiggen them. And the money shot... Oddly, not the only time Antarctica has come up on the site... Read More About:

Enough is enough: Thomson
PUBLISHED: 24 May 2012 11:21:00 | UPDATED: 25 May 2012 03:06:31PUBLISHED: 24 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 25 May 2012James Massola
Craig Thomson declared "enough is enough" yesterday following relentless attacks by the opposition in Parliament and reports that Channel Nine had interviewed a prostitute who claims he paid her for sex.
In a brief press conference at Parliament House in which he refused to take questions, the embattled MP warned against "trying to push someone to the brink" through relentless pressure from the opposition and the media.
Accused of using union funds for personal and political purposes, Mr Thomson faces two police investigations, civil action by Fair Work Australia, and an investigation by a parliamentary committee. He says rivals in the union movement set him up.
The call for a pause in hostilities came after he met a producer from Channel Nine's A Current Affair program on Wednesday and was reportedly told the program was poised to pay a prostitute $60,000 for an interview in which she was prepared to identify him as a former client.
"What I'm here to say is, guys, enough is enough really. How many inquiries do we actually need to be looking at this?'' Mr Thomson said.
"What would be really good is for the opposition to get on and do the sort of work that they need to be doing in terms of policy issues and let this circus kind of roll on."
The program's executive producer, Grant Williams, said: "We want to emphasise that no one has received any payment from A Current Affair."
In an interview with radio station 2GB, Mr Williams said: "I don't think she [the woman] would do it for a cappuccino.
"At this stage of the game I can categorically state we haven't paid anyone and we haven't broadcast anything.
"But we have recorded an interview and we have taken a stat dec [a statutory declaration]."
Mr Williams said the program would update viewers last night on the progress of its reporting.
"We reject Mr Thomson's claims of 'grubby journalism'. Grubby journalists would have already run a story, without giving him the opportunity to examine the information," he said.
Mr Thomson said that blanket coverage of the scandal could "incite the sort of hate mail that we are getting, that I'm getting, that my staff are getting".
"Is this about trying to push someone to the brink? I mean really, there are enough investigative processes that are there that if people have things they want to say, go through those proper processes,'' he said.
"I'm not sure how much scrutiny people expect is needed of these issues, but I think nine investigations probably does it."
Mr Thomson said it "defied credibility" to pay a prostitute for information.

We as a people find it easy to blame, when we are at fault. We install corupt ignorant political figures who sell our communties out to greedy developers. We build homes that can't sell. We put in water lines with no water in sight, We build roads that create death traps. The list go on and on, what positive thing has been completed for the children of this county. We need several Boys and Girls clubs. We need after schools programs. We have parents who don't lead or protect their children. These kids roam and walk the streets because we have failed them. We have to collectively provide more for the children of our county.

Give me a Name of a Good Door Lock Installation Jig?
I am planning on installing a few dead bolt locks and all the reviews I have read regarding various jigs to use have been disappointing? Reviews for DeWalt, Ryobi,Milescraft and lowe's brand have been disappointing. Are there any other quality manufacturers I have missed? Thanks
I got the box store jig and it was functional. Not great, but functional. Basically, anything plastic is just acting a visual guide, so you still need to be controlling the bit.
When I was looking at then - Porter-cable had a nice, adjustable metal kit, but the thing costs $200. Ouch! You have to do a lot of doors for that to be worth it.
Part of the problem with the average DIY having anything sharp in their hands, is a lack of experience which in-turn results in inaccuracy, wobbling and the resultant, frustration.
With a little patience, you can assemble your own. That, a couple of "C" clamps, and accuracy in handling a drill motor will suffice.
With experience, you can develop sufficient talent that a jig can be eliminated.
Since I now only use them occasionally, I've sold my KWICK SET jig and have both the RYOBI and DEWALT and find the DEWALT more substantial.
Chip, the answer is obvious to me: people want the easy way out and have the feeling that if it isn't 'professionally' made and costs bucks, then it isn't as good.
A simple square laid alongside the drill will tell you if it is perpendicular, and that should be enough to do it by eye...a door isn't really that thick, and if you don't gun the motor, it will remain in line. :)
Drilling the edge for the bolt has never seemed too difficult. The large hole in the face is where I am careful. You can do this pretty accurately without a jig. I use a square to mark the center on both sides of the door (and make sure to compensate for the edge bevel). Then I drill in halfway from each side with an 1/8" drill. If you eyeball it carefully and go slowly the holes should meet or come close to doing so. Then I get out my hole drill and again drill in halfway from both sides. Doing it this way prevents getting the breakout you would get if you just went straight through, and it also lessens the drift you get if you are a little off from being perfectly perpendicular to the face of the door.
Another option that has worked well for me is to make my own simple jig. If you have a drill press, cut a hole with your hole saw in a 3/4" thick board. Attach a cleat to the edge of the board so that the center of the hole is in the right place when the cleat rests against the edge of the door. Use a couple of non-marring clamps to hold the jig in place while you drill the door.
Good Luck snoonyb. Sounds like you got a lot of tools to manage. BTW, since I am a novice at this, I don't want to make a mistake. I did buy the DeWalt jig and it seems quite adequate. I have drilled my holes without any slippage of the jig as was mentioned on some of the amazon reviews. Now I just have to cut the mortises and install the lock. Feels like a piece of cake.
For the knob hole use the pattern that came with the lock set, and spot the center with a smaller drill bit.
Drill through from one side until the pilot bit breaks through on the other side, then switch sides and the holes will align perfectly.
The pilot bit goes in the through hole on the off side to align everything, and the small damage area from the pilot bit exiting is removed anyway.
High speed is NOT your friend with large diameter hole saws.
I often use a large 1/2 inch drill that has a low enough speed to do the job.

I tried this at the recommendation of *shamrocked* after I recently burned my arm! It is very soothing and has an herbal, medicinal smell. I was quite concerned about scarring because the burn raised my skin, but thankfully it seems to be healing. This comes in the same type of tin as the Lemon Cuticle Butter for those familiar with Burt's Bees products...which means it can be difficult to open. Aside from that, this is a handy little product to keep around.
This stuff has a weird smell but you can get use to it I did anyway...I've only used it a couple of times on bites and things of that sort it works okay nothing I'd buy again though
I really love this ointment...works great on cuts and scrapes. Love the scent and the package is cute, too...I had no problem opening it, guess I got a good one.
More reviews by DanielleWilliams
this is completely wonderful - it smells like pure greens and it actually works. i have been a huge fan of burt's bees and received this ointment as a gift just recently. i had a scratch on my arm from my bratty cat (hehe) and this healed it in days (not weeks). i'm tempted to inflict various self injuries upon my self to test this ointment's performance ;) i'll edit this review as future injuries undergo the burt's bees res-q experiment :X continued >>
For bruises, burns, scrapes and stings it says on the green tin. Amazing! I had a huge horrible bruise and I applied this stuff twice yesterday as the instructiuons say, and by today the bruise is almost gone! Weird! The ointment come in a tin (of course) and the smell is quite strong probably due to the nature of the ingredients (sweet almond oil, olive oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, wheat germ oil, Vitamin E, lavender oil, comfrey leaf and root extracts). But it really seems to work!
Hate the tin, love the product.
This stood up to 2 huge tests with "I can't believe it!" results.
First off, I have 3 cats. And they can be a bit... playful, reckless... okay INSANE (lol). One night I dozed off on the couch. My cats decided to play tag - chasing each other. Over my face. Yes - one jumped up and ran over me, the next followed suit... I woke up feeling a CLAW going down the side of my face as he ran over me. Those with cats know, that cat scratches DO leave scars. I freaked. I had a huge gash - a LONG huge gash right from the outer part of my eyebrow down my cheek to my lips. OMG was I... worried. I did not want to henceforth be known as "Scarface". Thanks to Burt's Bees, I have NOTHING... NARY a mark. And trust me, I have various scars from similar scratches on my arms, hands etc... I wish I had known about this stuff sooner. Aside from taking out the sting, when applied (somewhat frequently) I can honestly say this stuff completely prevented any scar from forming. And as I've said - I have tried everything from Neosporin to Coco Butter to Vitamin E on other catscratches, but this is the only one that actually did something to prevent any permanat damage. It also DID seem to heal quite a bit faster (and it was plenty 'deep'!)
Second test was rug burn. NO get your mind OUT of the gutter lol. I was cleaning the brass legs of my coffee table and when finished looked at my poor little knees. This stuff REALLY soothed the burn... I mean it felt completely 'normal' again - no sting! And again, healed very quick.
Definitely a product I would hope to 'avoid' using... but when life throws its curveballs, this is the stuff to grab to fix 'em! continued >>
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this product the same as I would any body lotion (elbows, hands, knees, feet) because I love the smell so much. But as for the natural remedy aspect-- I put neosporin on my cuts & I'm afraid to use anything else.
I dont mind the greeness to the product or herbal smell. which to me is pleasent. I used it on paper cuts from work, scrapes and on some of the worst bruises ever. It helpped with my baseball size bruise and was a good barrier from the outside air to my cuts. Got this for my ex when we were dating, so he can use it when he was out in the field for the Army. I think he still buys it. :)
I love how this smells! It's like stepping into the forest. Of course, I've never used it on bruises or anything--I don't really see how it could be effective, but I guess I should give it a try. Sort of useless IMO, but it smells great.

How 'creative' has loneliness made you?
I suspect I'm not the only one that has suffered from The Lonelies. (Okay all you lurkers, I know you're out there, *and* lonely...) Lonelies can be maddening, can't they??
What have you done in your pursuit of "fixes?" Perhaps ways or places you've looked to find a companion, something you've discovered works as a distraction, or any other creative, "outside the box" searches for a cure. I'm looking for unusual ideas here. Who knows? Maybe we can compile a list of Handy Tips! :-)
I'll start.
1. I have gone to softball tournaments where I know not a single person there, including anyone on the team, what the rules of the game are, or who's winning.
2. Going to a machine shop and pretending to admire some calipers just to be around some testosterone.
3. Reading the personals and either laughing or debating whether to respond.
4. Looking up census data for my location to see if single men my age actually exist.
Who's next?
Posting on the internet on the singles forum. LOL!
Taking interest in college basketball playoffs, and college football. Due to a male friend at work.
Going to the hardware store, and have explained how to change out the guts of a toilet, buying the right miter saw (yes, I have one and use it), or any tool or part.
I spend a couple of hours a week in the office of a local charity. Good for the soul, and the brain. I spend most of the rest of my time in Internetland, which is a reminder that some people have lives, and that there really is a world outside these 4 walls. My little garden is also a great solace.
There are 2 little boys (ages 7 and 11) who do little odd-jobs for the residents of our complex. They keep me poor in $$$, but I so enjoy their company as they help me in the garden. Together we've learned a lot about lizards and spiders and birds and caterpillars and plants (especially herbs!). And we talk about all sorts of things - school, sports, life, death, you name it. They enrich my life enormously, and I like to think it's mutual.
DD, from what you describe it does sound mutual or those boys wouldn't keep coming back! What neat ways to channel your energy!
I think that's one of the secrets to coping with The Lonelies--take that energy and put it somewhere that's nourishing. BTW, WalksAlone, have you found that men in hardware stores tend to stare? It's like women are such a novelty in a hardware store they don't know *what* to think!
I thank heaven I have my dogs - I play w/ them a lot. I also have a garden (four raised beds actually) and since it's finally warmed up that gets me out of the house. I also take care of my neighbors yard. I'm so glad it's Spring!
Great topic - I'll be back for some ideas too!
The winter months are the hardest to overcome, but once warmer weather rolls around I take care of the loneliness by getting out in the yard, work up a good sweat mowing and then enjoy a cold beer as a reward....on the weekends I make sure and plan to lay out a steak or roast to barbeque for my evening meal...it's an event to look forward to. After the chores are done and I am waiting to begin cooking.. I put on my favorite music open my windows and pitch horseshoes.
On some Sunday mornings, I get up and drive to the lake and take a hike...stopping and just observing the world around me.....it's amazing how our lives get so full that we don't "really" look at what's going on around us.
Wow, you guys sound so, uh, *adjusted.* No offense here, but don't you ever go STIR CRAZY?!?
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna bounce off all four walls if I don't find something *different* to do!
(Maybe I already HAVE gone stir crazy and you guys are the normal ones???)
crickets chirping...... :) but seriously Marilou, it all goes back to why some of us are single I think. It seems a majority (but not all) of the posters on here have had one or two bad experiences with relationships and that they feel similar to myself. To wit: that you prove to yourself that you can indeed survive without someone else and if and when that special person comes along, it will be icing on the cake and not because of need....there are all kinds of spring fairs, flea markets and activities going on right now...go out and wander around and look at some art, maybe you will find a fellow art lover, who knows?
BTW who is to define normal?...I'd rather do things out of character, after meeting a lot of "supposed" normal people that I come upon.
I look back over my life and see that I have always spent much time alone. I've been doing things on my own for so long it just seems natural. I recall feeling the "lonelies" when I'd be on business trips and all the men would rush back to their hotel rooms to call their families, and me, Singlewoman, had no one to call. I learned in my twenties that going out "on the town" alone made me feel lonely, so I ceased that. I haven't felt the lonelies for several years now though I am often alone. I'm the type who can feel more lonely in a group (or a relationship) than I do on my own. I'm not a particularly physically "active" soul. I like to keep my mind busy.
I don't see having a special person as "icing on a cake" but more like the one who, together with me, makes salt. You know, where the whole is greater than the sum of its' parts? But alas, my dream man is already married with children. You've probably heard of him. Bob Newhart.

The national newspapers' views on Norwich City's 0-0 draw at home to Newcastle United.
Sunday Mirror: "The more likely winners were Norwich and manager Chris Hughton will be relieved that he has the abrasive Grant Holt back in the fold."
The Mail on Sunday: "Fabricio Coloccini did not let his emotions affect his display as he helped Newcastle to their first clean sheet away from home in the Premier League this season."
The Observer: "It was as well for Newcastle that Norwich were themselves a long way from their best. This was a match of very little quality . . . creativity was painfully absent."
The Sunday Telegraph: "Home manager Chris Hughton might have regretted not starting with Grant Holt, who was not risked after his hamstring problems, but he was reasonably satisfied."
The Independent: "Norwich started with Grant Holt on the bench and spent the first hour wishing they had him up front, so often did they launch aimless crosses for Newcastle to head away."
1 comment
Independent: "aimless crosses" or "badly aimed crosses"? It really was a faux pas playing Cinnamon as a loan striker. Hoots himself is on record as saying Jacko works better as one of a pair - as at P`bro (but that was hardly a testing game). I hope Holty is truly mended; there`s only one Grant Holt. Carlisle Carborundum Man!

UPDATED: Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 8:16am
The abandoned building is beyond repair. Fire Marshal, Ben Nuñez, says this was no accidental fire. He says someone wanted to burn this place to the ground. The place has no hopes of being fixed. Whoever caused last night's fire made sure the place burned to pieces.
"As you can see behind me, quite a bit of damage to the apartments."
Our cameras rolled as dozens of firefighters battled the intense blaze. The Brownsville Fire Department had six units battling the flames. An aerial truck, rescue unit and four pumpers were needed to put the fire out. Officials say the fire happened around 9 last night on E 2nd and Elizabeth Streets. The buildings had been abandoned for quite some time and investigators now suspect the fire was intentionally set.
"We know that the fire started towards the rear of the structure, around the alley way and then it made its way towards the front or towards Elizabeth Street."
Isauro Martinez lives blocks away and saw the commotion last night. He didn't know what was going on so he rode his bike and brought his camera along.
"It was bad. I can show you. I filmed it."
This is what he rode into: Buildings going up in flames and electrical posts popping, creating a dangerous situation for firefighters and those who stood around to watch.
"You could see the big flames. You could feel it. It was that bad that you could feel it all the way over here."
The area is now blocked off in fear the buildings may collapse. Part of E 2nd street is closed off to traffic and both buildings are now taped off. No one is allowed to enter the premises.
If anyone has information on this fire, call the crime stopper line at: 546-8477.
