Dion's Tuesday ETF Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --Welcome to Don Dion's Daily ETF Winners and Losers. Be sure to stop by each day to get a feel of who's winning and who's losing when it comes to ETFs.
iPath Dow Jones UBS Natural Gas Total Return Subindex ETN (GAZ) 3.5%
Natural gas prices are gaining steam today, providing futures-linked funds including GAZ and the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) with some room to power higher.
In what has become a common occurance, GAZ has managed to noticeably outperform UNG, which is up only 2.2%. This is due to the substantial premium which has lead GAZ to disconnect from its underlying assets.
iPath Dow Jones UBS Sugar Total Return Subindex ETN (SGG) 2.9% Agricultural commodities are also heading higher today, led by the sugar prices. The sweetener has been on a tear, testing all-time highs. Grains are also heading higher today, marked by the strength from iPath Dow Jones UBS Grains Total Return Subindex Fund (JJG). The United States Department of Agriculture is fueling JJG's rally today after cutting its estimates for U.S. soybean harvest. JJG divides its portfolio among futures contracts for soybeans, corn, and wheat. SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP) 1.9% Rising oil prices are helping to energy-related ETFs across the board see gains. Lifting XOP over its competitors, however, is its exposure to Chevron's (CVX) and Atlas (ATLS). CVX's decision to acquire the natural gas player highlights the ongoing trend of integrated oil giants gaining a presence in the attractive natural gas industry. Market Vectors Nuclear Energy ETF (NLR) 0.3% The nuclear energy industry is riding higher today helping lift NLR. Reports of Entergy's (ENT) plans to shut down two plants did little to slow this fund's ascension. The firm is not listed within its portfolio. This week investors were treated to the launch of a new fund aimed at playing the nuclear energy industry. The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) tracks a basket of companies involved in the production of uranium. As with any new product, I would advise investors to stick to the sidelines for now until the fanfare wears off. Until then, this fund will likely be a volatile option.Losers
iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Fund (ICF) -2.8% A collection of funds designed to track real estate investment trusts are heading lower in light of today's choppy market. Among the decliners are ICF, First Trust S&P REIT Index Fund (FRI), SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF (RWR), and Vanguard REIT Index ETF (VNQ). ETFs designed to capture the performance of the residential housing market are also feeling pressure. The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index Fund (ITB) and SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) are both treading in negative territory. Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) -2.1% ETFs designed to track precious metals miners have seen interesting performance today. Late this morning, GDXJ and Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) were among the ETF industry's biggest gainers. However, as the market decline has continued, these same funds have retreated. As of early this afternoon, they were among the industry's biggest laggards.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I'm on the hunt right now for a few great lighting options for our apartment. We need new lamps in our bedroom and our living room could use a little extra kick in the lighting department, too. But have you noticed how expensive lighting fixtures and lamps are? It kind of blows my mind. I don't have $200 and up each for bedside lamps! Never fear though. Turns out, making your own super cool lights and lamps is becoming a thing, a thing I definitely want to try. Does your home need a little update in the lighting department, too?

VeeDub4LF 5pts I'll gladly pay 700 more in fuel a year if it means I don't have to drive an appliance like this. Toyota = Automotive boredom Yet they will still sell another million to the "look at me I'm green crowd"
luvmyprius 5pts lasvegascolonel, when it comes to automobiles, American ALWAYS gets the short end of the stick. Take the Honda Civic for example. The European Civic's styling is bold and very futuristic...with an interior that includes one of the best looking instrument panels and center consoles of ANY car. The "new" generation Civic we get here is so bland! BUT..at least the Honda Civic hybrid now uses Lithium Ion batteries. I would have gladly paid a little big more for my 2010 Toyota Prius if it had Lithium Ion batteries.I mean if you are going to get 200 engineers to build one of the most technology laden cars on the road, you know most if not all of them would have liked to put in lithium ion batteries.
luvmyprius 5pts Who cares what Bob Lutz has to say??!! And I am sick and tired of hearing these republicans like him calling us liberals and the media (or lamestream media as that IDIOT Sarah Palin calls them) elitists. Sure President Obama is probably smarter than any republican, but all the democrats and liberals I know are middle class and below. Mr. Lutz is in no place to criticize ANYONE about money, considering the fact that an "elitist" President saved his company and his ass!
appledude 5pts Does this new technology for "anti porpoising" mean that the Prius will now drive well in snow and ice, not wanting to be "jerky" as I have heard?
DJDub 5pts I don't particularly care for the style either but all of those commenting that it is ugly do understand that it is designed this way for a reason? Right?
bmforever 5pts @Beard, the regular Prius starts at 22k...26K sounds fair for this, 29k sounds VERY expensive...
beard 5pts I was very interested in this vehicle as a replacement for our 03 CR-V. I liked the descriptions, liked it in person when I saw it at the Chicago Auto Show, and like the mpg estimates (even though am surprised that they aren't higher).I am not happy with the price however. This article estimates a $26k starting price. other places I've seen list a $29k price tag. That's just too much considering that it's really a Prius with a lifted roof. A base Prius starts in the low $20ks. I don't see any need for this to start at such a higher price.
v8vader 5pts i guess i can't be too upset at having one more wagon on the market. i just wish it weren't this one.
lasvegascolonel 5pts I am surprised no one here has caught on...and Jonny Lieberman hasn't told the full story. Though I don't like the Volt, GM is ahead of Toyota on one count---it uses modern technology. Motor Trend isn't saying, but Automobile Magazine said Toyota made the decision to dump its easy-to-manufacture old-tech nickel-metal hydride batteries on the U.S. Since they are old and bulky, they can only get two rows of seats. This article states Asia will get the modern Prius V, but that is only half right. Europe will, too. Only the U.S. (and likely Canada) will be given the smaller (two-row) old school Prius V. Though it will be the same dimensions as the modern Prius V the rest of the world has, Americans will only be able to seat five people. The only good thing is that we will pay less for the old technology. By the way, Japanese customers have two choices---old or modern Prius V. We're stuck with the old one. Other sources say lithium-ion batteries charge quicker than what the U.S. will get.
The Heartbeat of America 5pts GM is in trouble....I hate to admit but Toyota is doing all of the right moves....The Prius V is good looking and has fantastic mileage. GM, c'mon, do the same!
JeremyJames86 5pts Oh wow. That's a lot of space... and with 42mpg for all that? No wonder Toyota is the master of hybrids.
VinniPooh 5pts Good looking car! I just wish they had thrown a little more horsepower into it since it's heavier than a regular Prius!
ramairmustang 5pts The comment made that no other CUV has as much room as the V with the rear seats slid forward because they simply do not slide forward is miss leading. I have an 08 Toyota Rav4 Limited and indead the rear seats side forward quite far and im sure would still trump the V in that aspec as well. Thanks.
FullMonte 5pts Toyota will sell everyone they build. No one yet has been able to beat Toyota at it's own game.
VRsicks 5pts Starting at $26,000 for the base model? Most entry level crossovers are about $4,000-$6,000 less. You could buy a lot of gas with that kind of dough, and often times those crossovers have better standard features than a stinkin' Prius.
bmforever 5pts wow it looks awesome...I love the style and I think it will tons when it becomes available...
Sleeper91TSi 5pts The only thing these turds will be good for is rental fleets at Hertz and enterprise. Who in the hell would buy one of these things?
oregoncoaster 5pts I know "nobody" buys station wagons. But, the styling on this thing is pretty bad. Wouldn't it look better as a "real" wagon. Maybe it would be best if Toyota simply hired some decent stylists, and had someone in charge who understands styling in the 21st century. Looks like something the Chinese would design. Make my eyes pop, instead of droop!
ram150005 5pts Why is it that the gauge cluster continues to be put at an almost unseeable middle of dash and when did touch screens become safer than buttons and knobs for radio controls. Maybe they ought to make driving illegal from the look of the inside of a majority of new cars. Kiss theory. Keep it simple stupid!
TAJ007 5pts Ok, Toyota merged a Prius front and Matrix rear. I bet people are going to raved about the styling as something new and fresh.PAAA..LEASE!!!!!
yrusuk 5pts didn't Mazda just strike a deal with Toyota to use their hybrid technology? If so, I hope it would open the door for a hybrid Mazda5 to fill the opening this car leaves; a small 3 row hybrid with sliding doors.
Acuras4ever 5pts i think i like the exterior!but the interior is a let down! it looks filled with white plastics!, though it looks like high quality plastics!, but it's still plastic!and they have to do something about those wierd gauges! they have to replace them somewhere else! they look stupid!i think it makes the interior look cheap, it's like they made a young kid slap some buttons on an area filled with glue!!

There is not much new lately on the Dr Jan Adams story. He speaks like a politician in that he says very little when he speaks here to ET. His lawyer probably has advised a little silence I would wager.
In the video clip, Harvey Levin really should limit his discussion in medical matters. For him to say the operation should have taken four hours is pretty irresponsible. We don't even know what exactly the operation entailed as of yet, but a breast reduction and tummy tuck with liposuction could have easily taken eight hours if done carefully. That's why many of us would have staged the surgery breaking it into smaller portions to limit the anesthesia time and post-operative pain.
On his comments vis a vis the recovery center, these centers really do not check into medical clearance. That is the surgeon's job. I do not know if Dr Adams has a good relationship with any such centers however.
Best Regards, John Di Saia MD

To paraphrase someone else who was called upon to make predictions, "I am not a prophet nor the daughter of a prophet" (Amos 7:14). Therefore I will not be joining those who make predictions, serious or otherwise, about what the New Year will bring. However, I would like to offer my wish list for the top 10 Jewish headlines for 2008. We may not see any of them in the coming year, but to paraphrase Theodor Herzl, if we can imagine it, then perhaps it will not just remain a dream.
Following David Letterman's lead, my top 10 wishes for 2008 headlines appear in ascending order:
10. Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw Admits She's Jewish
9. Stephen Schwartz Musical "Eight Nights" Lights Up Broadway
8. Ahmadinejad Looses Reelection to Moderate
7. Jew Tube Attracts Unaffiliated
6. Foundation Funds Turning Synagogues Green
5. Millionth Couple Marries Through JDate
4. Birthright Founders Launch New Program To Train Jewish Youth Leaders
3. Hamas, Silencing Rockets, Says Will Recognize Israel
2. New President Launches Manhattan Project for Energy Independence
1. Arab League Signs Peace Treaty with Israel

Leslie Mann and Megan Fox go chest-to-chest in 'This is 40′
Photo: Universal Pictures
"We saw Megan on 'Saturday Night Live,'" Apatow told Yahoo! Movies, "and we thought, "Oh, this girl's wickedly hilarious, and she probably won't get a lot of these opportunities. So, let's give it to her, and show everyone how funny she is."
[Related: 'This Is 40′: Mom and wife Leslie Mann simmers in husband Judd Apatow's latest]
OK, that was a safe answer from Judd, who wrote the scene. Again: standing behind the camera while your wife touches the breast of one of the sexiest women in Hollywood sounds like something even voyeuristic Alfred Hitchcock wouldn't have attempted. According to Apatow, "I get so uncomfortable with even partial nudity in movies. I'll do one or two takes, and feel weird. Megan is a beautiful woman, but she literally changes the temperature of a room when she walks in."
"Megan just has great boobs," Mann confessed to Yahoo! Movies. "Better boobs than I've ever seen in my life."
"I feel very protective of younger actresses because it was so hard for me in the business," said Mann, 40, about her 26-year-old co-star, Fox. And she had other feelings, too. "I wanted to get it over [with] as quickly as possible, because I knew it was uncomfortable for her, probably -- or maybe not. But just in that situation I knew there were a lot of dirty boys around having weird, gross fantasies. And so I wanted to get her shirt back on as quickly as possible."

Eco-Friendly Wine Picks
One way to lower the energy consumption associated with shipping wine is to take it out of those glass bottles.
Wine blogs like BoxedWineSpot report that boxed wines have been gaining
In addition to the environmental pluses, these contraptions have a technical advantage over bottles: The plastic or aluminum bag inside the box collapses as the wine is dispensed, keeping oxygen out and the wine fresh for more than a month -- handy for those of us who dislike opening a bottle of wine for a single after-work glass.
On the disposal end of things, the box part of the bag-in-a-box is cardboard and easily recycled. Tetra paks are more problematic.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

- "Rev. Steven B. Thompson" <benziecountynorml@...> wrote: My heartfelt thanks goes out to each and everyone of you who considered me a local hero in the Northern Express 2006 Reader's Choice Awards. It was very humbling for me to be ranked with the likes of Mary Lee Lord, who I got to meet a couple of times, and Michael Moore, who I also have met, and consider to be one of my heroes.
I have never really thought of myself as a hero, but rather just a voice in the wilderness speaking out against the un-christian, injustices that we face today. I know that there are those who think that I am crazy, or using my Christianity as a front....that's okay, for everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I know where my heart lies. It belongs to Jesus and I give God all the glory for this recognition. Just remember that I am not perfect...I am only forgiven.
One of our members in Michigan NORML stated that my recognition would put a big target on my back for law enforcement. Trust me, they know who I am and where I live just as any other responsible,adult cannabis consumer who has made the choice to quit behaving like a criminal by standing up for this God-created miracle plant that could save our world, and doing something to bring an end to it's prohibition. This is not a war on a plant.....it is a war on people which makes it a spiritual war of good versus evil, and good always wins in the end!!
Do you want to be a hero?? Then don't be afraid to stand up against the injustice of Cannabis Prohibition and start doing something to end it in your lifetime for the sake of your children and our planet. A classic example of why it doesn't work anymore than Alcohol Prohibition did is the O'Non family tragedy, or the persecution of Matthew & Laura Barber.

Lessons from the past: forests and biodiversity

Get AccessAbstract
The biodiversity of forested regions today is the result of complex historical interactions among physical, biological, and social forces over time, often heavily influenced by cycles of various sorts. Fire, agriculture technology, and trade have been particularly powerful human influences on forests. Virtually all of our planet's forests have been affected by the cultural patterns of human use, and the resulting landscape is an ever-changing mosaic of unmanaged and managed patches of habitat, which vary in size, shape, and arrangement. Because chance factors, human influence and small climatic variation can cause very substantial changes in vegetation, the biodiversity for any given landscape will vary substantially over any significant time period- and no one variant is necessarily more 'natural' than the others. This implies that biodiversity conservation efforts may need to give greater attention to ecosystem processes than to ecosystem products. A review of historical evidence shows that past civilizations have tended to over-exploit their forests, and that such abuse of important resources has been a significant factor in the decline of the over-exploiting society. It appears that the best way to maintain biodiversity in forest ecosystems in the late 20th Century is through a combination of strictly protected areas (carefully selected on the basis of clearly defined criteria), multiple-use areas managed by local people, natural forests extensively managed for sustainable yield of logs and other products and services, and forest plantations intensively managed for the wood products needed by society. This diversity of approaches and uses will provide humanity with the widest range of options, the greatest diversity of opportunities, for adapting to the cyclical changes which are certain to continue.

This article by Yonkel Goldstein blows my mind. Yonkel confides that his two "9/11 fantasies" are that he "wish[es] [he] had killed him [bin Laden] and "too bad he [bin Laden] didn't suffer more". Wow!
My 9-11 fantasies are very different. My 9-11 fantasy is that it was discovered and stopped before it happened. Had more people known that a shadowy, criminal cabal involving the governments of the USA, UK, and Israel were going to unleash this false-flag attack on the people of this country and blame it on "Radical Islam" we would have been able to stop this crime of treason and mass murder and the subsequent wars that are being waged as a consequence.
I submitted my memories of 9-11 to the "Palo Alto Online News" but they didn't make it past the censors. I wonder how long before they remove this comment which challenges the outrageous lies we're being told about 9-11 by the USG and corporate media.
I have degrees in Physics and Math and i can say with authority that two airplanes did not cause three skyscrapers to explode and fall at free-fall speed on 9-11. The Towers and WTC 7 were all controlled demolitions... period.
There will be continuing war waged on innocent people until the American people wake up to what really happened on 9-11. See www.whodidit.org if you want to know the truth.

Thanks for a good laugh, Galen. No point arguing about your claims (with authority), they have been debunked many times before. You should get together with Carol Brouillet. She probably agrees with your claims

If you want folks to take you seriously, stick with facts. There are enough facts to go around to place the blame all over the map.
How many workers does it take to wire a skyscraper for demo?
Seriously, you can have more enlightenment with 9/11's real history:
- the key U.S. role in supporting militant jihadists in their war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and the resulting blowback
- the dozens of warnings our administration received in advance and their criminal neglect Web Link
- why did a mayor put NYC's emergency command center in a known terrorist target, attacked less than ten years prior?
Much more interesting to stay within the confines of reality opposed to making things up.

"- why did a mayor put NYC's emergency command center in a known terrorist target, attacked less than ten years prior?"
Because Guiliani has an ego the size of the great outdoors.
What is scandalous is that no one has addressed the issue that Guiliani and his personal paramilitary group (aka the NYPD) went running away from the WTC while the firefighters were dying, due to the fact that Guiliani refused to allow the NYPD and NYFD to have the same radio communication systems
Also scandalous is how much money Guiliani has made on the bodies of the dead from 9/11, The hero of 9/11, my ass.

This was misheard by a little girl that I was babysitting for. We heard the song on tv, and we started singing along. When I heard her version, I started laughing hysterically. She almost started crying she was so embarressed, but I just couldn't stop laughing.

Happenstance 1 Pipit x LinkHappenstance 1 Pipit x Link3 years ago in Romance More Like This
Pipit stared out across Skyloft. You could see everything from up on the academy's roof. He sighed and fell back against the cool tile. It's so dull around here without Link. I wonder when he'll be back again. .The sky is growing a bit dark over here, he thought. Only a moment later, raindrops started to fall against his face. I better get down before it's too slick. Carefully he walked over to the edge. The rain was quickly picking up and he could feel his feet sliding across the shingles. It was as if it all happened in slow motion. A gust of wind pushed him. His feet gave out from under him, and the air left his lungs as he landed square on his back. He attempted to right himself, but failed and with horror he realized he was going to fall. With a sickening crack and a heavy thud, his world went black.
Link jumped from his loftwing, eager to escape the rain. As he sailed down, something caught his eye. A yellow shape against the blue shingles of the academy. The y

Yugi winced as his leg complained underneath him, he didn't understand why they hated him so much. He hadn't done anything to them Yugi sniffed as he turned into the park, not wanting to go home to the empty house, Grandpa had passed away a few months ago, Yugi was being watched over by a guardian who would check in on him every other month. But that guardian was the Father of the bullies. Yugi was so lonely.
The woods were always calming for Yugi, especially now, even though he was in the middle of a large city the woods drowned out any sound and let Yugi be wherever he imagined to be.
Yugi hissed as he sat on a tree stump by a small pond, the pond had a mossed over statue of a frog sitting on a toadstool. It used to spray water from its grey mouth but no more, the pond often dried up in summer droughts, so there wasn't much life living in the waters.

Its amazing how easily ones life can be turned upside down by something as simple as a phone call. Thats what happened to me one summer morning so very long ago. I was in bed, trying to recover from the crazy party my friends dragged me to the other night when the phone rang. Still half asleep, I fumbled the phone from the bedside table and mumbled, Hello.
Justin, did I wake you? It was my mother. Why are you still in bed? Its nearly noon.
I had a busy night. What do you want mom?
She took a deep breath, as if preparing herself for the next line.
Peatys going to spend the summer with you.
I sat up, sheets sliding in a bundle to my lap.
What did you say?
Peaty is going to spend the summer with you, she repeated.

My heart leaped up violently at the mention of Peters name and the room reeled crazily around me. On shaky legs I closed the distance between us and seized his shoulders in a death grip.
What happened? Wheres Peter?
In the car with Rick, he said, grabbing my arms as I tried to push him out of the way. Wait Justin. Calm down, youll only make things worse if you go out there acting crazy.
Fear melted into rage and I pushed Skyler back against the door hard.
Dont tell me to calm the fuck down, tell me what the hell happened! I demanded, digging my fingers into his shoulders. You and Rick were supposed to look out for him, damn it. What happened?
I dont know, Skyler said, trying unsuccessfully to break my hold on him. I swear we only left him for a minute to dance and when we went back he was gone. Someone must have snagged him because we found him many hours later passed

No its not actually, I said, too surprised to lie. From the way you were acting tonight I thought maybe you were having second thoughts about sleeping with me. Are you? Its no problem if you want me to stay on the couch tonight.
No, Im fine. Really, I want to sleep with you, he insisted, coming over to the bed and sliding under the covers. There, see? Nice and cozy.
Propping myself up on an elbow I looked down at him, studying his face carefully. There was tension in his body, in the way his eyes refused to hold mine for long before darting away. Determined to find out what was wrong, I ran a hand over Peters hair, stroking it soothingly.
Theres something bothering you and I want to know what. Did I do something wrong? You need to tell me Peter because youre giving me mixed sign

We never spoke of that night again and focused on getting Peter ready for college. Mom took him clothes shopping every Wednesday afternoon, insisting on replacing everything he brought with him from home. I helped with picking out courses, putting together a program he was comfortable with. Time wore away the remaining summer days till only a couple of weeks stood between us and school. I could tell the pressure was getting to Peter and though I tried to be supportive I also had work to deal with. Such was the case when a bunch of our friends offered to take us to a new nightclub the last week of summer vacation. Peter was all for it and begged me to come but I had a huge project to complete that was due the next day and couldnt go.
But this might be our last chance to go out and have fun together, he said in a last ditch effort to convince me to come. Im going to start classes in five days and will be too busy studying to go anywhere. Please Jus

Chapter 2
The week leading up to Peter's arrival was just torture. I found it nearly impossible to lye in bed without indulging in fantasies of our time together. The night before the big day, I maybe got two hours sleep. I looked like hell felt so wretched come morning that mom drove to the airport while I rested in the backseat.
"I hope we don't hate each other on sight," I said as we neared our destination.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll become friends quickly," she reassured me. "God, this traffic is horrible. We're going to be late I just know it."
By the time, we pulled into the airport there was maybe five minutes to spare until Peter's flight arrived.
"You'll have to go greet Peter yourself while I park the car or we'll miss him for sure," mom said, pulling up to the drop-off area. "We can meet at baggage claim."
My stomach tightened and my heart started beating harder. I was going to meet Peter alone, a daunting prospect to say the least.
"How will I know him?" I asked, hoping

2) While I have "inserted" myself into books I have read, it was generally because I fell in love with a well created character or world. Not because I wanted to have sex with Michelangelo's David.
3) After reading Meyer's books I checked the web for outcry by the same people who criticized Rowling for using the occult, and I couldn't find it. To me that's crazy as vampires are part of the occult.
4) Crazily enough if you think about it, Meyer's books are worse because Rowling's was not suggesting that humans should mate with the occult monsters simply because they are beautiful and smell good.
5) It is entirely sexual attraction from appearance and smell, and lacks substance. It is for this reason that I do not consider it a love story.

That stood tall and proud while the grasses shivered and shook.
His gnarled old bark and his branches, most broken,
His ancient old eyes, Oh, the tales that were spoken!
Stories and legends all long forgotten.
Through many storms, through sand, sleet, and snow,
Through fires and floods, through all stood the willow.
Squirrels built their larder beneath his ting-tangled roots
And birds bore their young high in his green leafy shoots.
Ne'er to be trampled by ignorant boots.
But the old withered willow grew lonely and tired--
For company, for friends, his gnarled roots aspired!
So sang the old willow a gentle old tune
Of mystery, magic, and the giant stone rune
Upon which his sight alighted as a wand'ring sapling.
"Tall tales and gobbledygook!" cried the sly, sibilant crows,
"All lies and lore full of falsehood!" whispered the vigilant does.
But still sang the old withered willow of the truth that he knew,

Dont worry about it. Im glad youre here, I said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Come on, lets get you unpacked. We only have two hours till lunch.
I led him to my room and paused in the doorway, shifting my hand to the base of his neck.
Well have to share the bed until other sleeping arrangements can be made. Hope you dont mind.
I watched his face closely, hoping for a reaction but even though I held him in what was very nearly an embrace he seemed totally indifferent. God, talk about frustrating.

By the next morning Peter was back to normal and I was able to put that terrible night behind me and focus on getting him ready for school. The remaining few days rushed by in a chaotic blur until finally classes started and my life once again changed. Gone were the long mornings of lying in bed with Peter, going out to eat or catching a late night movie. Peter had classes three days a week from 11am to 6, after which hed come home drained and in no mood for anything except food and sleep. Study groups and long visits to the library took up most of his free time, leaving very little for me. Whenever Peter did stop and talk to me it was always about college stuff. How hard a class was, how strict a teacher was being or how exciting a current project was. It got to a point where I couldnt take anymore and avoided him as much as possible. This went on for a month and probably would have continued to the end of the semester had fate not stepped in and destroy everything.

Your bower walls are winding trees.
Crowns aflame with breaking day,
A-tremble in the breeze.
Send your wandrings to the sky,
Set your mantle shining bright,
Outrun the blood-red eventide
Outshine the stars at night.
Let your weary steps be swayed
Far from your hearth, far from your home.
Life and longing now forbade
When to the witchs realm you roam.
Be wary, fear the cursed gaze
Weathered face and eye of stone,
Embers in the ashes blaze,
And you are waxen to the bone.
No weary falling of the limb!
No sight to see the sunrise dim!
No touch to feel the fallen snow!
Afar afar afar you go!
And you are waxen to the bone.

A fire pure and bright,
As now I stand before your gaze,
Hail Brighid, Lady Knight.
Your armour silver as the moon,
Your hair a fiery red,
Your smile of warmth and kind intent,
Your light upon me shed.
As Maiden you have come to me,
A lover's silk embrace,
As Mother you encouraged me,
With care and noble grace.
As Crone you have enlightened me,
Your wisdom and your truth,
My life you've always walked with me,
This day as in my youth.
So here I am, a humble soul,
A son of Hunter Herne,
I wish to serve you Lady Knight,
From sun to lunar's turn.
Bless me with your guiding light,
In all I do for thee,
Protect my kin by faith or blood,
Neath ancient rule of three.
Oh Brighid, Lady of the Lake,
Oh Goddess of the Moon,
Oh Priestess of the Ancient Ways,
Your leave you must take soon.
I thank you for your time with me,
As end comes to my prayer,
Yet light within my heart remains,
In knowing you are there.

Ime in the lakeThere once was a little boy who lived with his mother. They lived in a beautiful house on a beautiful lake in a beautiful town.Ime in the lake4 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
The little boy loved playing with his toys.
And he loved swinging on his swingset.
And he loved running in the yard.
But most of all, he loved playing in the lake.
Every afternoon when he woke up from his nap, he would pester his mother to go down to the lake.
Mommy, Mommy, he said, I wanna go play in the water!
His mother smiled and said, Alright, Sweetie.
And so the mother and the little boy walked down to the lake, where the mother sat in her chair, and the little boy played in the water.
The mother got a sunburn.
The next day, the little boy awoke from his nap.
Running downstairs, he cried, Mommy, Mommy, I wanna go play in the water!
The mother said, Not today, Sweetie.
The little boy pleaded, Please, Mommy, please! I wanna go play in the water!

Doddering about before there were names for the malaise

Pausing now and again to coddle a pleasant hollow
Casting a sloping pitch enough to rush a torrent
After a sudden shower
Seldom pooling
Its glint and glimmer burble among the stones
To join a rill and plash and swirl and putter about a root
It's there I'm apt to wander
Not much of a path, hard passed and thorny
As twisted and narrow as the thoughts of bigoted men
Treading there finds stern resistance and stones to turn the foot
The clatter and crunch of brittle leaf acorns pop and skitter
A plenteous crop, beyond the appetite of wild things at forage
Leathery husks abound, pignut hickory the ebon stains of walnut

Now I'm thankful for my own kind of crazy
Because yours would be hell,and then some
Though,I think watching you hurts more than that ever could
And you don't seem to mind hurting people
Not at all,by the way you hand out punches and insults
Sometimes I wonder how the hell I was ever born
Even my safe places and thoughts don't feel so safe anymore
They won't ever again,not with your prying eyes and listening ears
I have to plan my moves months in advance
I know tomorrow you'll act like nothing ever happened
But mother dearest,I don't ever forget
And lately,I'm finding it increasingly harder to forgive

Welcome to the glamorous ball room
The midnight dance of the ages
Only ending when a deadly fire rages
Not romance
Dressed in a Silver dress
Cloaked by a pure black sky
At the Masquerade ball
You prepare to die
The Nightmares, the visions of a Mysterious guy
Handing you one black rose
When the Golden moon hangs in the sky
Are you ready to die?
He is as pale as snow
Yet he loves her so
They Tango they Waltz
Until Deaf defying screams intrude
It's time to die
There is No escape from your fate
Like you're a sheep trapped by a gate
The fire starts to consume She is trapped in the room
No soul is left alive
On this tragic night

His Nightmares surfaced
The string that holds her life breaks
An Into his heart drives a stake

With ultra-violet wisps of hair
Swirling and twisting across her eyes
In the chilling winter air.
Her gaze was fixed on the passing lines
Of these old city's streets like glue.
Her mind bounced from one thought to another,
But seemed to be stuck on you.
She had no destination, no fate,
No company to keep her warm.
And yet she continued walking along
Through this frigid winter storm.
The sounds of pink and orange rain
Splashed on the concrete like tears she never shed.
The whipping wind whispered yellow secrets;
The words she never said.
Holding herself tightly as she could,
To the end of the earth she planned to stray,
Until a loving stranger's hand lifted her gaze
On a brisk December day.
She gazed long into his eyes,
Dazzled by their color, so unlike the dismal ground.
She became entranced
In green and orange starbursts of light until she found
Herself walking hand in hand with this man
Away from clouds to a clear city view.
He turned her to face him

We all live inside the masquerade ball.
We have masks and cloaks and gowns,
And we hide our true selves from us all.

Their lies and untruths contribute to the mask,
And love is the conspirator to them all.
There's many a beautiful sight at the ball.

But there is one girl that would astound them all.
The girl wore a plain white dress to the ball.
Noone knew who she was, with her wide lower lip,

She had a beautiful mask for the ball.
It was colorful, intricate and sparkled in the light,
But what she would do with it astounded them all.
She wanted to meet the prince of the ball.
He wore a plain black cloak and suit.

He was smitten with her for a time.
He had seen a plainer girl who had been alone, and took her above all.

Ultimately, Surrogates isn't going to break any records, but it's the kind of movie I'd stop at while channel surfing and watch the whole thing on a Saturday afternoon.
Underneath its typical Hollywood exterior there is a decent movie waiting to shine through. But so much else is just typical of the genre, it's hard to summon any more enjoyment from it.
Fails to land a killing blow that pays off the simplified mystery with any distinct urgency. It's a flawed film, but far from unbearable. Nothing a DVD director's cut couldn't fix.
A film that raises many interesting ideas but follows through on few of them.
I wish I had a surrogate to watch it for me.
A smart little genre outing, an endangered species in modern Hollywood. [Blu-ray]
Surrogates establishes an intriguing premise for exploring a world in which virtual life trumps physical reality, but the thematic potential is squandered in favor of a by-the-numbers police procedural.
Yetta nudder cautionary tale issuing dire warnings about the pitfalls of technology run amuck.
Sure, it's made capably, in a technical sense. But it's banal, utterly predictable and often quite stupid.
I would have liked to explore this world more and not keep slamming into some convoluted scheme that defeats its own purpose. I had fun watching it, but I actually thought the movie was smarter than its plot.
full review at Movies for the Masses
Seems less like a 21st Century would-be blockbuster than a lost 80's relic only just rediscovered. Either way, we're lucky to have it.
The end result is somewhat underwhelming. It's more of a novella than a novel, and hardly the science fiction action blockbuster audiences were expecting.
...viewers with even a passing interest in science fiction will find something worth embracing here.
Good ideas rub up against bad ideas, and the result is a movie that is worth a look but could have been much more.
This predictable flick executed in a numbingly pedestrian fashion, has slapped a nifty conceit onto its threadbare mystery-thriller plot, but has somehow managed to miss every opportunity to take advantage of it
Has all the get-up-and-go of a dead battery.
Its humanity, some cool technology and Bruce Willis save this film from simply being a compilation of a zillion similarly themed "too much technology" lessons.
SF chillers of the past that warned about dehumanization -- 'Invaders from Mars,' for example -- posited an outside threat; now, in a 21st-century world of plastic surgery and online avatars, the danger comes from within: the dehumanization is voluntary.
Semi-plausible and semi-watchable futuristic (but still looking like today's world) dystopian 'save the world' sci-fi thriller.
Audience Reviews for Surrogates

In the near future, the population has taken to living their own lives vicariously through the use of robotic avatars but when an assassin starts destroying the machines and their users with a top secret weapon, a lone FBI agent begins to question the value of his isolated, second hand life. The premise of Surrogates has a lot of promise; it's clearly a parody of the logical conclusion of social media and the obsession with superficial appearance and the decreasing face to face interactions of everyday life. In this it is reminiscent of the work of Philip K. Dick with a dash of Isaac Asimov. In fact the story plays out like a darker, seedier version of I, Robot but in a lot of ways it just isn't quite dark enough. Bruce Willis brings the same kind of desperation and vulnerability he brought to Twelve Monkeys which works really well but the studio's desperation to snag that 12 certificate compromises the script somewhat, leaving a halfway house between clever social commentary and generic sci-fi action thriller that makes it feel a little uneven. It's certainly not bad though, and it's certainly a lot smarter and more entertaining than the average Michael Bay debacle.

Surrogates Quotes
- Peters:
- This is agent Peters, I've found Greer, he's been in an accident at Market Hanover.
- The Prophet:
- Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We're not meant to experience the world through a machine.
- Male Newscaster:
- Still no official word on when, or if, surrogate services can be restored. It appears, at least for now that we are on our own.
