Solar energy is getting cheaper. Solar energy is getting more efficient. In the facility management and building world today, it's almost impossible to maneuver without hearing about the benefits of "the one" renewable energy. Everyday new technology updates and manufacturing techniques are emerging that may place solar squarely on top of the sustainable soiree. Today is no different, as computer simulations by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and in Hungary are using an exotic form of silicon to improve the efficiency of solar cells.
Solar cells are based on the photoelectric effect: a photon, or particle of light, hits a silicon crystal and generates a negatively charged electron and a positively charged hole. Collecting those electron-hole pairs generates electric current.
Conventional solar cells generate one electron-hole pair per incoming photon, and have a theoretical maximum efficiency of 33 percent. One exciting new route to improved efficiency is to generate more than one electron-hole pair per photon, said Giulia Galli, professor of chemistry at UC Davis and co-author of the paper.
"This approach is capable of increasing the maximum efficiency to 42 percent, beyond any solar cell available today, which would be a pretty big deal," says lead author Stefan Wippermann, a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis.
"In fact, there is reason to believe that if parabolic mirrors are used to focus the sunlight on such a new-paradigm solar cell, its efficiency could reach as high as 70 percent," says Wippermann.
Galli said that nanoparticles have a size of nanometers, typically just a few atoms across. Because of their small size, many of their properties are different from bulk materials. In particular, the probability of generating more than one electron-hole pair is much enhanced, driven by an effect called "quantum confinement." Experiments to explore this paradigm are being pursued by researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., as well as at UC Davis.
"But with nanoparticles of conventional silicon, the paradigm works only in ultraviolet light," says Wippermann. "This new approach will become useful only when it is demonstrated to work in visible sunlight."
The researchers simulated the behavior of a structure of silicon called silicon BC8, which is formed under high pressure but is stable at normal pressures, much as diamond is a form of carbon formed under high pressure but stable at normal pressures.
The computer simulations were run through the National Energy Research Scientific Supercomputing Center at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, which granted the project 10 million hours of supercomputer time.
The simulations demonstrated that nanoparticles of silicon BC8 indeed generate multiple electron-hole pairs per photon even when exposed to visible light.
"This is more than an academic exercise. A Harvard-MIT paper showed that when normal silicon solar cells are irradiated with laser light, the energy the laser emits may create a local pressure high enough to form BC8 nanocrystals. Thus, laser or chemical pressure treatment of existing solar cells may turn them into these higher-efficiency cells," says co-author Gergely Zimanyi, professor of physics at UC Davis.
Other authors of the paper are Marton Voros and Adam Gali at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary.
The work was funded by a National Science Foundation Solar Collaborative grant awarded to Zimanyi, Galli and colleagues at UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz in 2011. The project brings together experts in material science, chemistry, computer simulations and statistics to develop new approaches to solar power.

Not Your Father's Dresser, Well Actually It Is
As we PS-ed in last week's rug post, our hunt for a new master bedroom dresser recently came to a surprise end. We'd been trying to find something to replace this old Malm dresser that we've had for 5+ years (we literally bought it on an Ikea stop the day we moved from NYC to Richmond in a big red minivan) which will soon go live in the guest room.
It's clearly too small for the wall. It's not 100% functional anymore (the middle drawer got little wonky during the move) and it has a few visible battle scars from bouncing around our last house (at various points it lived in our bedroom, our guest bedroom, and finally the sunroom).
So we wanted something bigger. And something a little curvy and ornate (for some contrast to the modern elements in the room, like Ed the Bed and our big snowball-ish light fixture). Because we don't want our bedroom to feel like a modern furniture showroom, we want it to have that layered, collected over time look. We both liked the idea of a dresser that was up on turned legs, especially since our bed also has a leggy design, so that similarity might tie the old dresser and the modern bed together in a not too obvious way. You know for a nice marriage of old meets new. And of course we wanted something that we could rescue (who doesn't love "saving" sad old furniture) but we'd been unsuccessfully perusing thrift stores and stalking craigslist for weeks with nada. And then it happened. A dresser miracle. The perfect piece materialized seemingly out of nowhere. And by nowhere I mean my parents' bedroom.
My mom and dad are actually prepping to downsize to a smaller house (now that their nest is empty) so they've been trying to find new homes for lots of their old stuff (I've already inherited stacks of old photos, school papers, childhood art projects, etc). So when we spotted my dad's dresser on a recent visit we asked if they were planning to keep it (since it was old, leggy, and pretty much the perfect width). The answer: "Nope, we're planning to put it on craigslist. Unless you want to take the old clunker off of our hands?"
"Uh, yes please." Cue the cartwheels by Sherry in the background.
Turns out they'd be in our neighborhood to babysit our nephew two days later so they brought it down (we assumed it might take a few weeks to mosey over). Best dresser surprise ever. And that's how we ended up with this beauty pretty much out of nowhere:
It's bigger than our old Ikea dresser, so it fills up that wall properly. It's also more traditional looking, so it balances out the modern pieces like Ed the Bed and the light fixture (just as we hoped). It also makes us really excited to get some old night tables in a similar tone and shape to further tie our whole old meets new thing together. Possibly with the same cool ring-pulls (we could also order those online and add them later) and a few drawers for concealed bedside storage, which we've always wanted.
And just as we hoped, it could use a little love (one of the drawers was busted when we got it, so I whipped out my screwdriver and whistled while I worked to get it secure again). Took about ten minutes. But (spoiler alert) that's pretty much the extent of our "work" on the dresser for now. We're not planning to paint or stain it. Even though we were excited at the idea of re-staining or painting an old seen-better-days piece, we just can't justify that whole dog and pony show this time around. And this isn't the polite way of saying that my parents wouldn't let us touch it (in fact, they were dying to see what we'd do). We actually think the warm wood color works really well with the cool tones on the walls and in the bedding (while bringing out the honey tones in the curtains, the jute rug, and the gold leaves in the duvet). Plus as you can see from this shot…
… the rustic wide plank floors in the bedroom need more than just a little work (they're discolored, stained, and splintering in a number of places). So we plan to refinish them in a darker mocha tone, along with the rest of the hardwoods in the house for a nice cohesive effect. So that should make the warm wood dresser feel even more special once it doesn't blend into the floor quite as much. Especially if we have two antique-looking nightstand friends going on the other side of the room in the same warm wood tone (maybe we'll get to refinish some old dark craigslist/thrift store finds with some lighter stain to get a not-perfect-but-good-enough "match").
We're totally charmed by our hand-me-down dresser's imperfections, and love how they preserve the history of the piece. Maybe we're being overly nostalgic since this is our first item of inherited "antique" furniture, but there's something special about knowing the back story. My dad bought it from his cousin back in the '60s for $100 and has used it ever since. It still boasts a scratch on the front of one of the drawers from when he transported it in his car's trunk over forty years ago.
We don't know exactly how old the piece is, but it has a stamp in the back of one of the drawers that says it was made by the "Abernathy Furniture Co" and they appear to have started operations in the 1850's in Kansas (thanks Google).
After a couple days of using it I realized it possesses some weird auditory memories for me. When I heard Sherry opening and closing the drawers from the other room, the sound of the metal pulls clanging against the wood gave me distinct flashbacks to hearing the same noise coming from down the hall growing up. Weird how sounds can do that to you, right?
The only other "work" it really needed (besides a few screws to secure that broken drawer rail) was some help getting the drawers to slide more easily (each one of them stuck and dragged a little bit). Sherry had heard the old "rub soap on them" tip a few times, so she broke out a bar of Dove that we had leftover from her mom and stepdad's visit (we use Dr. Bronner's soap, but she worried "eco soap" might not be the same).
Off she went rubbing the dry bar of soap on each of the rails. Both on the bottom of the drawers…
…and even on the tracks inside the dresser itself, in an attempt to "wax" them so they'd slide more easily without catching.
The verdict on this little trick? It made a noticeable difference, but it didn't solve things 100%.
For being a totally free solution, we're happy we gave it a try. But if you guys have any other suggestions for helping this baby slide a bit better, please share 'em. We're thinking we might try wax or something.
As for what's on the dresser, the big white lacquered box is a charging station that we got at Pottery Barn Outlet a while back (as seen in this road trip video), the ceramic egg crate is full of Sherry's jewelry, the table fan is for the summer, the two white bowls are full of Sherry's bracelets/necklaces/glasses, and the three frames are pics that Sherry and I snapped on each of our wedding anniversaries. And yes, there's a ceramic animal friend worked in there too thanks to my weird wife (a bronze ceramic pig that she found at HomeGoods for $6 a few weeks ago). I actually think the dark bronze twist is kind of cool, but don't tell her I said that or it'll feed her strange addiction.
Now for the bigger picture. Here are some more bedroom photos, just so you can see how the new dresser plays with the other things in the room (which is most definitely still "in progress" and in need of some art, a nice long bench, a big white built-in or cabinet to the left of the bed to balance the door, those aforementioned leggy honey-colored night stands, and maybe even some new table lamps among other things).
Should be a good time (or not, depending on what we find and how many places we have to go- haha, there's the husband perspective on shopping). In the end, as exciting as resolving our dresser dilemma is – one of the best parts is that we're finally able to move some of our clothes out of piles in the closet and into proper storage (four full drawers of it). Which means after 3+ months of living here with mountains of shirts and pajamas on the floor of the closet thanks to a smaller dresser with one inoperable drawer, we officially have no more excuses for not organizing things. Uh oh.
So that's our first antique hand-me-down adventure. Or "furniture inheritance experience" if you're fancy. And I'm not gonna lie. It does feel kind of fancy. The idea that we own something older than my dad is, in the words of Miley Cyrus, "pretty cool" (anyone else watching SNL lately?). Even if it's a little beat up and didn't come from an auction house. Have you guys ever gotten something especially awesome or particularly sentimental handed down from a family member? Anyone run into the moral dilemma of whether or not to make changes to it? We got lucky in this instance (since my mom and dad were more eager to refinish it than we were) but we know that might not always be the case. Sticky.

Sadly, all of my grandparents died when I was too young to have any use for the beautiful old furniture that was theirs.
Especially my dads mom had some really great old closets and sideboards in their house. Some of it was split among my older cousins, which I'm quite glad about. I would've hated for it to get thrown out.But back then, mixing old and new furniture wasn't really in fashion. What a pitty.
I have refinished an entire set of waterfall bedroom furniture that belonged to my grandparents. I always loved the style – the angles of the wood panels and the subtle curves. So when it came time for my first apartment 5 years ago, my Grandmother was super pleased that I actually wanted to dig the pieces out of the basement and put them back together. They were pretty beat and the finish had yellowed so I refinished them in a darker shade. I wasn't able to salvage all the pieces of the vanity – and I really didn't want to since I really wouldn't use it as intended. Instead, I am using the two drawer units as nightstands. They work perfectly. I can't imagine ever giving up on this set of furniture.
The majority of our furniture is retro/antique hand-me-downs… Nothing beats it! I do constantly run into the issue of whether or not to refinish/paint them. So far we have left everything as-is except for a '70's media console from my grandparents and an '80's china cabinet from my parents. I love that you are planning on leaving him the way he is.
I have a bedroom set that has been in our family for 100+ years. 25 years ago my dad installed plastic drawer slides and they still work great. They are like uhmw shims.
I totally thought I was reading a "Sherry" post until I got to the sentence, "And by nowhere I mean my parents' bedroom." What? I thought the dresser was from John's family…scroll up – oh – John is writing. 500 points for correct apostrophe usage by the way. That is rare in blogland!
I thought it was Sherry up until that line too!!! Crazy.
Try rubbing a candle instead of a soap.I have been rubbing candles on zippers, furniture and all the like and it improves a lot.
I like your new dresser. Reminds me of my dresser and headboard/footboard and vanity set that was my grandmothers. She bought it all in the 1930's and it sat at my grandparents house until they passed away, and then into storage at my aunts house. It wasn't until I was graduating high school and wanted to redecorate my room did the furniture come out and get a little TLC. The finish was awful, and very scratched up, but my dad sanded it all down (with the intention of painting it black) but once the natural wood grain showed, it was beautiful and we just did a clear coat over it, and replaced the drawer pulls with more modern ones. Whenever I have friends come over they compliment me on my cool furniture, and it's just so neat to have something so old, and sturdy be an everyday fixture in your life. As my dad always said, they just don't make furniture like they used to.
I love to mix vintage and modern pieces. A few months ago, I painted the campaign dressers that we had inherited from my in-laws. I'm a little obsessed with how they turned out: http://inspirationandroughdrafts.blogspot.com/2010/09/campaign-dresser-update.html
It's been fun seeing your new place come together. We might attempt a photo gallery wall soon!
I love that dresser. I am normally a paint it girl but I like your dresser just the way it is. My mom gave me 2 old dressers that have long curvy legs and the wavy fronts on the drawers. They were in pretty rough shape so I didn't feel bad painting them. They are just primed but will be turquoise someday for a nursery. The candle wax trick worked on them. My grandma gave me a completely torn apart rocking chair so I am going to try to work some magic on it. It is torn down to the springs. Luckily I am in an upholstery class right now. The chair is so old the stuffing is straw. I love to get old pieces at auctions so then I don't feel bad painting them. My grandmother is giving me a really neat carved cedar chest too. Luckily she wouldn't care if I refinish it. I LOVE old furniture.
My 12 year old inherited her great-grandmother's chest of drawers about a decade ago when she passed away well into her 90's. The drawers stick a bit but it is in remarkably good condition and we treasure it. We talk about painting it one day but haven't had the heart to yet. I've got to try to pinpoint its pedigree/approximate age…hope it's marked like yours. Enjoy your treasure!
I think it looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see your new mocha floors!
The dresser looks great in the space! I love the legs.
You mentioned getting some old photos, papers, memento-type stuff from John's parent's who are downsizing. My husband is going through the same thing right now and his parents were savers. Any tips for how to save only the things that really jump out at you (and not feel guilty for ditching stuff his parents moved from house to house, state to state all these years!) and how to store what you do keep?
The good thing is we both agree that "we will not do this to our future kids!" It's just too much STUFF!
If the sentimental bug is in high gear, try taking pictures of all that stuff and making one scrap book (or disk, or powerpoint, or photo album…whatever floats your boat). It can be a lot of fun to go through it and put together in a new way that takes up lots less space, and will alieviate the guilt.
About 10-12 years ago, I received my grandfather's desk. An antique rolltop desk that he'd had since before I was born (1982) and there are pictures of it from the 70s. Not sure exactly how old it is, but as a kid I fell in love with it and told him I wanted it. I was so happy when he did actually give it to me! I've thought about making small holes in the back so that I can use it as a computer desk and be able to feed the cords through it. I also have my grandparents old coffee table and end tables.
Loving the dresser. It's a beautiful color.
My dining table used to belong to my great grandmother. (It looks kind of like this: http://www.thefurniture.com/store/Images%5CLegacy%5CDining%5CCasual%5C701-121.jpg but it's oval in shape.) I've toyed with the idea of redoing the top piece in a darker espresso type color, but never have followed through (it's a bit scratched up and worn in it's current state, which is understandable seeing how old it is.)
Someday I'll probably want to switch to a rectangular table (I just like them better), but the idea of getting rid of such an old table makes me feel a little guilty/sad/something unpleasant.
That's such a pretty dresser! I love how it looks in the corner.
Your new mirror would look fabulous over this dresser. Just sayin'.
Nice save guys! When y'all mentioned the dresser hunt I was picturing a much big and more ornate style which I wasn't too sure about. This, however, is perfect. I love it's simplicity and glad y'all didn't do much to it because I love the soft warm color of the wood. Can't wait to see what you find for the side tables!
Love it, it looks great. When we moved into the family farmhouse, we inherited 2 wash stands, one oak and the other birds eye maple. And more recently an Ethan Allen Early American style maple dresser. Not so crazy about the Early American style, any ideas on possible changes; the in-laws would probably croak if I painted it. I was wondering about maybe making it darker with a stain. For me it is a challenge to get incorporate these antiques into the old house without it looking too staid.
I really like the new/old dresser. It really complements everything else in the room. Definitely keep it as it is!
I, too, love hand me downs…furniture included. I was lucky enough to acquire several of my grandparents belongings…sewing machine, cedar chest, kitchen table (the chairs that went with fell apart), old ceramic bowls, flour sifter and even my grandpa's metal antacid container (how's that for sentimental) and grandma's sewing box. I don't think I could part with any of them!
Thanks for today's post. It really brought back good memories! -
Actually i got my mum's beautiful red italian leather sectional which she loved but her husband is a cowboy and not into modern. So yay for me! The dilema: i might be moving out of the country… Option A: Keep said couch in storage for who knows how long. Option B: Sell it for some nice change. Honestly i just feel a little weird to sell it – i love it, my mom loves it… so yea, not sure what I'm going to do about that one! Give my mom the money!? No clue! *Enter dilemma"
Love the dresser! I agree no need to refinish! If you want to "work" the scratches out a bit there are a few products at Home Depot in the stain section that can help!
I have a few antique pieces from my great grandparents, but have no desire to refinish at all! Although I am acquiring a buffet from my grandmother who is moving in to assisted living after my grandfather passed away and I completely instead on painting it black instead of the ugly color it is, but everyone was ok with that! -
Love the hand me down! (I actually found a great dresser in the alley behind my house a few weeks ago!) I'm wondering where you got the cool metal fan on top? I'll be needing another fan once it reaches the triple digits here in AZ and would like something that doesn't look cheap and plastic. Thanks!
Much better. I'm thinking plant and a lamp on top. What do you think? susan
When does the post about your presents come?!?? -
Art-related question: what ever happened to that adorable bee painting you got from etsy??? I loved that one! :)

I'm sitting in my usual seat in block 109 watching my beloved Dockers run onto the field. The girl who sits next to me isn't here yet, no surprise there. She usually doesn't come until just before the bounce, or just after it.
"Excuse me, excuse me, sorry." I look to the end of the row and see two boys trying to make their way past everyone. I move my legs to the left, expecting them to pass me but instead they sit where in the girls' seat.
"Hello!" I say in a very cheery voice, I'm always very happy before a match.
"Hi." A boy with black hair says, the other boy just nods in my direction.
"So, where's the Lucky Charm?"
"Um, excuse me?"
"The tickets you've got around your neck belong to the Lucky Charm, where is she?"
"Oh, you mean Emily. She's on a family holiday, she heard us talking about wanting to watch Australian Football so she offered

It had been snowing non-stop for 3 days now and London was covered in a blanket of white. The streets were covered in ice and slush, a treacherous journey for any Londoner wanting to commute.
Phil shivered, their boiler had broken and now with all this snow there was no way any plumber would reach them within the next few days. Their house was now completely freezing and the boys wrapped themselves in big blankets and duvets in an attempt to keep warm.
"Daaaaann" Phil called from the living room "Can you get me a cup of tea?"
"Yeah sure babe" Dan called back to his boyfriend, his own hands shaking as he made them both a hot drink. Dan carried the mugs back into the lounge and snuggled up next to the dark haired boy, wrapping his arm around Phil's shoulder. "There you go" He murmured passing the drink to him
Phan- 'Deaf'An eight year old Dan skipped happily around the school playground as he played with his two best friends, Chris and PJ. It was the beginning of the autumn term, and Dan was just happy to be back with his friends. As the bell went to tell everyone to go and line up outside the appropriate classroom, a teacher took Dan aside.Phan- 'Deaf' by JamieFIZZY
"Dan, would you like to do me a special job?" The kind voice of the head teacher asked. Dan nodded, and she led him to her office. "There's a new boy joining us this afternoon, and I wanted to see if you wanted to look after him,"
"Okay," Dan agreed,
"The thing is, he's deaf, so you won't be able to communicate with him very well,"
"I trust that you'll make him feel very welcome, and that you will make sure that he is happy," Dan nodded, and went back into his classroom.

Dan had finally found the warehouse on the other side of London where the person who wrote the note and did this specified. The warehouse was crumbling outside and looked desolate. It was past midnight, as asked for in the note. The note will be shown in due time, but this is where the story must start. He walked in through a hole in the wall, oddly enough next to a boarded up door. If Dan wasn't so angry and terrified, this would have amused him. But this had turned his smile-enriched face into a scowl and widened eyes blood shot from tears he swears he never cried. Upon entering the moldy room on the third level, he saw a woman, if you could call it that. She had a venomous smile under ruby lips, lightly tanned skin mostly hidden by a tight black out fit. Her hair was loose waves of blood red curls, and she removed her black sunglasses to reveal deep, purple eyes surrounded by long, black eyelashes. She would look beautiful if only you hadn't met here or gotten near here. Just by his close proximity, he could feel a sensation like a rotting cold from her, as if evil was in the room. And to his luck, it was. "Hello Daniel.", she spoke, her voice sending chills down his spine at the almost joyful tone she spoke with. "I was wondering when you would appear, when you would eventually read the note... Sad to say I'm a bit disappointed. Thought you'd be quicker. I thought you cared for Philip.." Dan had turned cold by her voice and remained silent as she spoke, but his eyes, burning with rage, spoke the words for him. "Oh, of course, my note. My apologies on the blood drops. No, it was not the blood of Philip, it was yours. You wonder who I am and where your friend Philip is. Although you wish he wasn't your friend but what can you do. Its not like he'll change to form into what you want." Dan's eyes glistened slightly as he looked away from the woman before him. "What do you mean my blood?" he asked, hoping she wouldn't notice his voice cracking from her words. "Remember a while back. You were hating everything, the bullies were torturing you with words and black eyes. One day, you had let the words dig in and you started hating yourself so much you felt like you deserved to be punished" "Stop it" Dan whispered but she continued on "You were home alone and you were tired of hearing these words at school, now in your head. I kept saying those words and I-" "Stop." "-guided your hand" "Stop!" and your bl-" "SHUT UP!", Dan screamed, those tears slipping down his cheeks without control. "Where is Phil?" he growled, his rage barely contained dripping into his voice.
This had all started roughly Monday morning, today being Saturday. Well, one could argue it started at night, but after midnight to me will be morning. Dan had stayed up until midnight in his couch bend surfing through the Phan tumblr tag privately. 'I can dream' Dan thought as he saw a certain drawing. He must admit, the cape looked nice. 'Speaking of dreaming, it probably be best to go to sleep before its morning. Can't skip sleeping... again' He shut down his laptop and closed the lid to see a sticker on the lid. It was a sticker of Phil wearing his lion suit, all-in-all cute. 'even cuter than he already is.' Dan thought to himself. That one voice in his head spoke out as if on cue, saying 'You know he mustn't know or else he'll be gone for ever. Don't get too close or your secret will slip and all hell will break loose. It will all go back to before...'. Dan shook his head, trying to ignore the voice in his head that tortured him when ever he seemed too happy, but being around Phil usually kept it at bay. At night, after Phil goes to bed, it attacks and makes him doleful. He climbs into bed after running out of the darken living room. He slipped into bed and clapped off the lights, smiling as he remembered Phil giving him 'clappers' after seeing his fear video. Smiling sweetly he fell into dreaming.
'Smiling, he found himself out in London, Phil at his side as they rode the London eye. Phil was gleefully looking out at the top of the roof at the star-scattered skies. "So, this must have looked different to Vincent Van Gogh. These are dots not swirly things." Dan could swear that Phil's smile could easily be his own drug for how it filled him up with bubbles. "Well, he did find beauty in it, even though he was sad. But, maybe depression does that, changing you and hiding you away from the lights. Through tear filled eyes, the stars would swirl in your eyes, as you cried in your loneliness..." Phil's smile had vanished from his face when Dan looked back down from the sky to him. His eyes shined with glistening tears. "I should never tell you this" Dan spoke, his eyes down cast as a single tear slipped down his cheek. "Never, but I want to let it be known. To find a cure for this and I think … you hold the key. Phil, I think I'm..." he looked up to find them in a dark room, a light from above shining so only Phil and Dan could be seen. Phil's face was serious, all mirth swiped away, replaced by a face of loathing in an unnaturally calm way. "P-Phil?" Dan whimpered slightly as a nauseating feeling ran through him from looking into Phil's eyes, now filled with a hate aimed like a weapon. "Do you think I care?" Phil said, his voice like lead to Dan's heart, dragging it down, taking his breath and smothering him with it. "You are pathetic. You disgust me. You really think I care? I don't, Daniel Howler. Why would I care about a fool like you." "Dan!" "I hope you succeed with that plan you had in secondary school. I would love it if you had kept trying." "Dan!" "To see you like that, that would be the only time I may actually like you, be proud of you. I will watch you die." "Danny! Please!" "I think Philip wants you awake. I wonder why he cares... Goodbye Daniel, and hopefully we won't met again..."
He awoke to find Phil above him shaking him awake. Tears were streaking down his face and once he saw that Dan was awake Phil hugged him tightly. Dan wrapped his arms around Phil and hugged him tightly, still trembling from the nightmare. "I-i didn't kn-know w-what to do... You were flailing and whimpering, I couldn't stop it... I'm sorry Danny." Phil said, still holding Dan close. Dan looked up at Phil and couldn't help but smile. "Thank you Phil." Dan said softly, afraid his voice could crack. "The hug helped. Can we hug a bit more..?" Phil nodded and they kept hugging. Eventually, they did go back to regular time and stuff, both agreeing to leave it. Dan didn't sleep that night, nor the next. On Wednesday, Dan eventually fell asleep while watching anime with breakfast with Phil, on Phil's shoulder. He wasn't plagued by dreams, and Phil kept watch on him as he turned off the TV and fell asleep next to Dan. They didn't talk about that, Dan's lack of sleep until Thursday night when Dan was still in his browsing position. They had been home after the radio show and although Phil wanted to help Dan and talk about his sleep and the nightmare, he stayed away from that. Eventually, Dan noticed Phil sitting next to him, staring at him intently. Not that he did anything about it, but he did see it. He also saw as Phil began to fidget a bit (Okay, a lot) and finally declares out loud "Dan, I'm not going to sleep until you do. You need to sleep. And don't try to say 'no I'm not' because you are. Listeners from today kept tweeting me, 'is Dan OK?', 'did you two have a domestic?', 'does Dan have a hangover.'" No, Dan did not notice the faint pink growing red on Phil's ears and cheeks from the second viewer comment and he definitely did not think he looked really cute like that. Phil sighed and with less enthusiasm then before said "I'm worried about you..." Dan stopped scrolling and really looked at Phil. He had bags under his eyes, and his watery-eyes screamed sad and confused. Dan sighed as he turned his laptop off and closed the lid, smiling at the sticker he 'forgot to take off'. "Can we sleep on the couch... together..." Dan spoke, eyes at his hands. "I didn't have the nightmare when we fell asleep during the anime..." "Alright" Phil replies, a smile falling on his lips. They lay down next to each other, Dan with his back to the couches back and Phil facing Dan. "Is this normal..?" Dan asks quietly once they had laid down like so, lights off and blanket over them. "Are we normal, Danny? No, so we don't need to worry about being 'normal', okay?" Phil replies and once Dan nods, he falls asleep, and Dan watches Phil sleep, a warmth growing in his stomach. Oh, and no, he absolutely did not kiss Phil on his forehead because he thought it would be the only time he could ever do that to Phil before dozing off.
The next morning, Dan woke up alone, hugging a pillow. Knocking off his slight disappointment at not waking up together, he gets up to go get cereal when he notices the couch and trail. There in front of Dan where Phil had been where scratches in the fabric that ran to a couch leg. Scratch from where the couch moved to that wasn't there before. Following that to the door frame with finger nail dug into the wood trying to cling and being dragged out. Panic flooded through Dan as he followed the trail of scratches until they ended at the stairs, replaced by small droplets of blood to the door out of their shared flat where upon the door a note was left, blood droplets still wet on it.
Hello Daniel,
I asked you to do one simple thing, why couldn't you just kill yourself. I used a memory of Philip trying to give you more reason, sadly he had to play hero and wake you. Poor fellow. No, he isn't dead yet, but you can decide that. Warehouse 1304B, Midnight until Dawn Saturday. Come between then or his blood will become the wall paint for the warehouse.
"WHERE IS PHIL!" he screamed, his rage pooling through his lips into the air."Oh, relax Daniel." she replied, her eyes rolling as she speaks and a sarcastic smile on her lips. "Philip is right here." She turns behind her and tore off the sheet to reveal Phil. Phil, chained to a chair, eyes wide and blood shot with tears slipping down his cheeks and soaked into the rag tied over his mouth. His fingers were red with blood from trying to hang on and escape her. Dan was ready to tear her a new, but it was out weighed by the relief he felt that Phil was alright. Tears stung Dan's eyes as they slipped through his eyes but he didn't care. He ran towards Phil until a force hit him and he hit the wall "Tsk tsk tsk, Daniel." she spoke as ropes tied him around and up, his mouth available still to speak. Rage took over and he spat "Why are you doing this." She looked at him and let a milk-curdling smile curl upon her face. "You are a human and your kind keeps killing ours. You take us in, some being daemonis interius, inner demons, like myself, others borrow bodies for our needs, as I am also doing. You make humans smile, youtubers do. I want humans to suffer for killing my family. You and him make your kind smile and laugh, but if you killed yourself as I asked, all would mourn who love you. Phil would follow, if I wish so, and many others will be killed by me. I want you to die for all of my family, for vengeance on humans. Why don't we deserve to live? And sadly, you need to suffer for living and Philip here will take it unless you tell me your secret. I can take your secret and Philip will live knowing it, point being he lives. It will kill you inside and I can live with that, just going after beautiful and brilliant children with minor problems, dragging them to their demise by making them believe they deserve as they do. All humans do. So..." She pulled out a large knife and held it to Phil's left cheek "tell me..." "I d-don't..." "Wrong!" she yelled as she slashes Phil's cheek. Phil's scream is barely muffled by the wrapping over his mouth, tears spilling out with the blood. "Try again" she said as she went to his other cheek. Dan closes his eyes and breathes out slowly. "I have depression, take medicine and all. I didn't want to tell Phil because I thought he'd think I was a freak... more than I already am..." he replies, eyes looking down with tears slipping down to the floor. "Close" she responded, making Dan look up again, "But wrong!" she yells as she slashes his other cheek, another scream from Phil slipped out. "One more try and if you don't... I... I-eh Ack!" she screamed a demonic scream as she slipped to the floor, her confidence dissipating. "Dan!" the woman yells but her voice is higher and the evil feeling gone. Her eyes are light blue like the sky in calm yet she wore an expression of utter pain. "There's a knife on the floor next to you. I can't stop her for long. Hurr- Ah, What Did I Say about interrupting me you Brat!" She had dropped the knife in her switching and Phil kicks it towards Dan. He grabs it in his hand and cuts up with it freeing his arms and legs as the demon and girl struggle for power. She pulls away from Phil and Dan runs up and starts cutting. "We deserve to live because we love, and do not hate- LIES! You kill us without thought, without mercy and mock it, your murdering. We love each other but not for long because you keep killing us! I had to see the man I loved tortured to death by you, I want him to feel my pain, watching the one he loves die. I want VENGEANCE FOR MY LOVED ONES- I WANT TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY AND YOU KILLED THEM. THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED THOSE YOU LOVED, YOU'RE JUST AS BAD! AND YOU WILL JOIN THEM!" The girl pulls out her knife and stabs it into her stomach. "AH!" she screams as the demon pours from her mouth in a demonic scream into a dark gray cloud that vanished to ashes. Phil had been freed and hugged Dan tightly, Dan returning the favor. "I'm so sorry Dan and Phil." she whimpered and the pair turn to her. She won't bother you again. Blade soaked in holy water, got her dead. At least now I can go back to my family. Goodbye and please don't kill yourself or cut again. She showed me it all, the cutting, a few attempts... Phil, I'm sorry she cut your cheeks. I tried pulling back so they aren't too deep. I'm sorry, so so sorr..." And she went cold, falling back to the floor in her pool of blood. they closed her eyes and walked out together, holding hands to know the other is there. They finally get in the flat and to the bathroom where Dan cleans Phil's cuts, luckily minor thanks to the girl. Once cleaned and bandaged all wounds, they walk to the couch and plops down. They sit in silence before Dan turns to Phil. "Phil... I think I'm in love with you..." he whispers, looking into Phil's eyes. Phil looks back and joy erupts on his face as he grabs Dan's face and kisses him. "I love you too" he answers before they start snogging. In between breathes, Phil says "I've loved you for a while. She came at night while you slept. Did you know you cuddle in your sleep?" "I really don't, I woke up and wanted to cuddle you. Thought it would be my only chance" "She came and woke me up. Originally she was going for you, hang you up and kill you in your sleep. I fought and laid over you. She hit you with some magic thing to hold you in a deep sleep while she dragged me out then hit me with it. I awoke when you entered. I love you Dan, don't you ever cut or kill yourself. She was right, I'd follow." This made Dan stop and look at Phil. "I love you Phil, and if you love me and you are alive, I have every reason to live." He kissed him once more, more passionately then before until Phil stopped him with "Remember this" and he awoke on the couch, computer on lap still.
"PHIL!" he yelled, followed by getting a pillow to the face. "Dan, there's no reason to yell. And I win the bet, its still Sunday and you fell asleep... You okay Da- ack!" Phil was abruptly interrupted by Dan tackle hugging (glomping?) Phil, berrying his head into Phil's chest. "Its okay Danny." Phil said as he rubbed circles into Dan's back. "Just a bad dream. She won't return to hurt you." "I know, but you weren't there and- wait a second. If it was a dream, how do you know about..?" "Dan, you talk in your sleep." Phil said interrupting Dan. At this realization, Dan turned red faced and shyly asked "Did you... hear anything else?" "Nope."Phil answered. "Now, I'm going to have a taco casserole." Phil walked out leaving Dan on the couch. "Oh, and Dan!" Phil said as he popped his head back in with red on his cheeks. "Yeah?"
"Love you too, Danny"
"A woman is a woman an' a man ain't nothin' but a male... oh yes A woman is a woman an' a man ain't nothin' but a male...and the One good thing about Jim is He knows how to jive an' wail" Jim wouldn't have believed what he was watching if he hadn't been there seeing it in person. His Seb, dancing to some old song and singing along. He would have burst out laughing if he wasn't so shocked. "Oh, you gotta jump, jive, an' then you wail, You gotta jump, jive, an' then you wail, You gotta jump, jive, an' then you wa-WHAT THE FUCK! " Sebastian screamed the last bit and soon a gun was in Jim's face, 'bout an inch away. "So, my little Songbird, what are you doing?" "Hello Jim.", Sebastian says, still not moving the gun, an angry glare that could be lethal if not for the red flush covering his skin. "That never happened, swear or its your life." "Fine", Jim groaned like the sociopath 3-year old he is. "But you have amazing singing talents. What was that song anyway?" In his haste the song stopped, mostly because he shot the speakers his IPod was on. "While in Afghanistan, I was around fellow Americans and someone showed me the song. I have a favoritism towards the older jazz stuff, or screaming punk stuff, like Chemical Romance. Oh, and that Jump Jive An' Wail by Brian Setzer, not that you care." Sebastian rolled his eyes as Jim made a noise of shock like "oh no you didn't" in a hmpf way. "What are you doing, besides singing and dancing- which never happened!" (a gun towards the face can really change your mind, specially since they met by Seb's shooting him, on accident, of course. That's a story for later.) "Cooking, and before you ask, its for Thanksgiving, like in America. You will eat and celebrate with me, And no complaining, 'Kay?" The look on Seb's face said ' you will not argue and live at the same time', and for Jim, it was the wrong day to die. Especially because last time he 'died', he saw Moran on that roof... "ugh, FINE!"
Moriarty was on the couch, shooting at the ceiling. Luckily, after a while of living with Jim, Seb had gotten a shooting pad, bullet-proof windows, a silencer on the gun and still wore the bullet proof clothing from war, just in case. Sometimes, he'd put a fake body up there with real blood if Jim was being good. Today, he wasn't. As Seb was mashing potatoes, his music playing on Jim's speakers, Jim was complaining, and trying to remove the silencer. Finally, after shooting at the target enough, he tossed down the gun and wandered to the kitchen. Another jazzy song was just finishing as another song popped up. It began piano, like an older tune your grandparents in America played. And the guy started singing, similar to a carnival style, and Seb sang along. "Well they encourage your complete cooperation. Send you roses when they think you need to smile. I can't control myself because I don't know how, and they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while." As Jim was about to pass it off, it started the...
"So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff! Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough. So give them blood, blood, blood. Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood!" He liked that, the chorus part, probably more than he should have...
"A celebrated man amongst the gurneys. They can fix me proper with a bit of luck. The doctors and the nurses they adore me so, but it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck."
"Yes you are" Jim says, but this time, Seb just rolls his eyes as he pulls out the turkey, the song continuing on in the background. "That would be My Chemical Romance, by the way." Sebastian says, as he turns around to face the smirking Jim. "Pretty good, bit gruesome at times. Like you." Jim says nonchalantly, something glimmering in his eyes, 'could that be...- no, he couldn't' Jim thinks, shaking his head. 'Like the little bastard would care.' Rolling his eyes, he puts the turkey and the other parts at the table. Sitting at one side on the table, he starts cutting up the turkey. Once the big main stomach was cut up gently with silverware, he rips off a leg and eats. Jim is just leaning on the door way, watching his Seb tear apart the turkey leg. 'Not your Seb. Like he would think of you in anyway close to that. Your his boss, nothing more' Jim thought to himself.
I had missed Seb and his abnormalities being gone a month before returning to shoot his hand, left one. Confused? He was, too. Seb had gotten drunk that night, and was on Bart's roof holding a hand gun. He was screaming angrily, yelling expletives and my name, tears falling meaninglessly off his cheeks. I had chose to watch him, I was worried about his- ' not your Seb- I was worried about Seb. He wasn't his sneaky, sarcastic, jerky-self I had fallen in lo- had hired to work for him. That night, he screamed as he took the gun. That gun...
"Ay, you gonna eat, or just stand there staring at the floor? Jimmy? Boss, you okay?" Seb had gotten up and grabbed onto Jim, pulling him out of the memory. He pulled him up to his face, looking Jim in the eyes. Jim's breath was caught in his throat, heart switching from rocket speed to not at all, and back. "You okay?" Seb asked his heated breath upon Jim's face. Jim looked into Seb's eyes, wonderment and love all blooming in his chest he had sworn to eternal coldness like a flame. He swallows the lump in his throat and stuffing back the crazy idea that popped up. "Fine, Sebby, I-I'm fine..." Jim said in a voice barely his own, cracked and whimpered, until he coughs and gains his real voice to say "I'm fine, Seb, though your breath is lethal..." He gets Seb's grip off his arms and walks to the table and gets himself some food. Still slightly shaken, but desperately trying to hide it, he turns around with a, faked, sarcastic 'questioning' look and asked, "You going to eat? Didn't you want me to eat?
Seb could see he was hiding something under that sarcastic look, and he was going to find out eventually. He rolls his eyes, playing along, and sits at his spot. Taking his meat stick up again, they eat in silence. Eventually, Jim starts talking. "When did you learn to cook?" he asks, food stuffed in his mouth as he speaks. "Eh, Thanksgiving in war, learned from fellow guys after three years." he responded, eyes rolling as he spoke. "Well, not bad. You seem to know your way around the kitchen, and singing, you little Songbird." At the mention of his singing from earlier, his ears tinged pink and his cheeks barely glowed a hinted scarlet, muttered a "Shut Up" through a mouthful of turkey. "Make me." Jim responded, enjoying his slight control over Seb. Seb heard that and his plan flew into action with a grin beginning to grow upon worn lips."Or I'll tell everyone about the incident, your study in Pink…" Seb spook, a malicious grin spread across his face at the Jim who always lo- lik- found the grin intriguing. Of course Jim gave him a look of 'Really, the Cabby case?' Seeing Jim' expression only made the grin grow (not only thing?) as he goes on. "Not the case, no, the time where I walked in to see you, in a big, puffy, bright-""Don't…" "-Pink-""You…" "-Tutu…" Did I mention how red Jim's face went during the last bit. Whether from fury or blushing embarrassingly, it amused Seb to no end. As Jim puffed his breath out, Sebastian took out his phone, took a picture and sent it to Mrs. Adler. Just in case Jim deleted his copy, of course, definitely not to brag. "I'll tell Irene about how you once asked-" Jim started speaking, but Seb's hand was over his mouth before he could finish. ( A slightly mischievous thought…), and Seb said "fine, don't say that out loud. I won't" Jim couldn't help the joyous grin that spread upon his lips, malicious and mischievous combined into a grin, . Seeing he could do that to Jim made Seb think 'How is it I, boring sniper Seb could do that to Jim, a goofy, adorable and evil grin gosh I lo- I shouldn't think of how he looks evilly adorable with that grin. He's my boss, he'd never think of me like that.' "Nice try, tiger." Jim says, his eyes lit with a chaotic joy. "I hate you" Seb says, trying to act serious yet he ended up laughing lightly. "Love you too..."
Neither could be sure whose eyes were wider, but if one had to chose, it would be Jim. Jim's eyes were wide enough to make Jupiter shrink (yes, used a solar system reference, deal Sherlock), and his face was red like blood. If one hadn't known what was going on, they may say he could be in blood (again). His thoughts began to blare at him, words like 'idiot, flawed, failure, mistaken' hitting him hard. He glanced up at Seb, to see what he did. Sebastian had eyes too big for normality, and without compare except to Jim's. A light pink flush ghosted his cheeks and his thoughts burst into a crazy haze, not any understandable but still consumed him to confusion, and a deafening silence followed those three simple words.
"I-I'm s-sorry," Jim began, his words trembling as he spoke. "I-i Di-didn't, I s-slipped u-up-p, I... I'll just g-go" he got up and started to walk out, face down with eyes pooling in 'Not tears, no, I'm fine', but the moment he tried passing Seb, Seb's arm stroke out swiftly and caught Jim. He pulled Jim back, and pushed him to the wall, his face completely composed. Jim looked up, those tears that were not there were falling down his cheeks like a race to escape. Those words full of torturous hate screamed out through his head, more 'not tears' dribbling down. Sebastian gently tipped Jim's head back to look him in the eyes. Jim was on the verge of whimpering under the force of these horrid words pounding his mind in. He looked into Sebastian's eyes and saw it. That glimmer of something, familiar to every time he's given him a nickname, every time Jim smiles, every time Jim laughs. It had always confused Jim to what it meant, the question boiling in his mind, barely louder than the words, but still heard. He searches Seb's eyes with slight desperation as he stands in Sebastian's grip. Slowly, Jim's face is getting closer to Seb's and all the thoughts seem to ram him into a confused and damaged child. But they all slowly dissipated at a breath away from Sebastian's lips as he heard Seb whisper. "Took you long enough to realize what I meant..." Realization slammed into Jim and slowly that glimmer in Seb's eyes was seen also in Jim's and he solved his puzzle. They both grinned but stopped suddenly and you couldn't see that glimmer for a while. Well, it is heard to do all of the love glimmering in their eyes, written in their smiles when they were to busy with their lips together... Now I could explain how all the food was then on the floor or coating the pair, but I'd rather leave it up to the imagination of you all (unless you wish me too?) But, let me tell you this; they never could ever (ever) have a normal thanksgiving.

By Robert Jackson: On December 6, 2008 former WBO middleweight champion Oscar De La Hoya is scheduled to face current WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao in a matchup that is "said" to be Oscar's last fight before retiring from the ring. Once Oscar conceded to a 67/33 split it was just a matter of time before he caved in to a 65/35 deal to make the fight with Filipino ICON Manny Pacquiao. Oscar had made up his mind that Pacquiao was who he was going to fight and nothing could change that. The Sergio Mora and Paul Williams references were just psychological ploys to get Pacman to abandon his 60/40 stance, Oscar was never going to fight Williams and risk serious injury while a Mora fight would've generated underwhelming interest. I believe 65/35 is what Pacquiao wanted all along, having never fought as a 147lber how was he ever going to get a 60/40 split? But maybe if Pacman would've held out a little bit longer he would have gotten his 60/40 deal. All of the Mayweather hater's out there should relish the fact that Pacquiao was able to out negotiate "Money May" and could possibly take home a few more dollars than Mayweather was able to get GBP to cough up. As far as the fight is concerned, even though Pacman walks around at 145lbs he's never fought at that weight and who knows whether his punching power will transfer effectively to the 147lb weight class? On the other hand Oscar struggled to make the 150lb catch-weight for his fight against Stevie Forbes, who knows if Oscar can even make the 147lb weight? Will Pacman have the stamina with an additional 12 pounds to put forth the workrate that he's known for? The additional weight could also affect Pacquiao's speed. Will the "Golden Boy" be seriously drained by making the 147lb limit? Coupled with Oscar's traditional late rounds "fade" the weight loss could be double trouble for DeLaHoya. Another condition that Pacman seems to have won is using 8oz gloves (instead of the 10oz gloves) which Team Pacquiao requested and was accepted by GBP and the NSAC, don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for Pacman? Pacman is VERY hittable and though Oscar has lost a step or two his chin is still solid. All things considered with the weight gain of one fighter and the weight loss of another this fight 'on paper' may turn out to be a pretty fair fight and a good one on fight nite. In my experience it's harder to lose weight than it is to gain weight. Pacman's boxing Coach Freddie Roach says he knows how and will teach Pacquiao how to beat Oscar and was the main lobbyer for this fight to be made, Roach has even said he will work for free in Pacman's corner. Something should be forthcoming from Oscar's trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr and I suspect that whatever he says will be hilarious. Roach and Pacquiao are both saying that he will knock Oscar out, and Oscar's is ripe for the taking, I just don't see the undersized WBC lightweight champion being the guy who does it, but then I was the guy who said that Diaz was too big and strong for Pacquiao, how wrong was I? Was it PT Barnum Circus Sideshow proprietor and showman who said that "There's a sucker born every minute"? Well contrary to the disdain and negative press surrounding the making of this fight, many of us will tune in on fight nite to observe this sideshow while cheering on our chosen hero. I also expect that the PPV buys for this fight may rival or surpass the LARGEST PPV show in boxing history of May 2007.

Ashley Wilson has not received any gifts yet

The International Union of Food Workers have yesterday revealed progressions in Russian Parliament, which if followed through could see a ban on the use of temporary agency workers in Russia.
If the bill is adopted it will undoubtedly cause a huge shake up in the Russian food production industry, especially after findings show that over 40% of organizations surveyed confirmed their use of temporary agency labourers as being a core level of their production.

Christmas Eve or Christmas morn?
My husband's family always has their Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve and my family always on Christmas morning/day. So Christmas Eve we go to his family and Chistmas morning to my dad's. We also have a tradition in my family to open one or two gifts Christmas eve night(usually new pjs and slippers), so I'm starting that tradition with my 2 yr old as well.
Andrea-SAHM to Rebekah 2yrs.
All growing up there was only 1 present for each of us, and my mom didn't put it out till a couple of days before xmas eve. On Christmas Eve we got to open that one present...which was pj's.
I will continue this with my son only adding a book that we can read together as a family in front of the tree in his new pj's before putting out the milk and cookies for Santa.
All the other presents are from Santa so they don't get to the house till he is sleeping on xmas eve when Santa comes!!!
All our kids are grown and have families of their own. We celebrate Christmas with them all on Christmas Eve. That way Christmas Day is clear for them to celebrate with their spouces families. The only gifts opened on Christmas morning are the gifts my hubbie and I have for each other. We spend a quiet morning drinking coffee opening each others gifts while listening to Chroistmas Music.
Christmas Morning...thats how it was for me when I was little and thats what i do with my son. my brother does the 12 days of Christmas for the kids they get a piece of candy or a dollar toy for 12 days before and they all love that. i haven't tried that but would love too
In the past we've gone to my in-laws Christmas Eve for the "big" celebration with EVERYONE! Grandma's, aunts, uncles, cousins are all there...and we exchange gifts with that special group of people. Then everyone would go home. Christmas morning we do the Santa thing at like 7-8am and then go back to my in-laws for breakfast (biscuits and gravy) and then opening presents from them...and then my brothers and sister in law open their Santa gifts (they are 6,8,10 years old)

China must atone for its past
China has transformed itself into a global superpower, but until its leaders "offer a public accounting or expression of regret" for killing hundreds of unarmed protestors in Tiananmen Square 25 years ago, the government will continue to lack the legitimacy it seeks both at home and in the global community, says Elizabeth Economy in USA […]

China's stinginess backfires
A history of conflict with the Philippines could explain Beijing's initial pledge of $100,000 in disaster relief for typhoon victims, says Bruce Einhorn in Bloomberg Businessweek. But the offer backfired as "the world's second largest economy" was ridiculed for "offering less money than do-it-yourself furniture maker Ikea," he says.

China must play by rules of capitalism
"By buying companies, exploiting natural resources, building infrastructure and giving loans all over the world, China is pursuing a soft but unstoppable form of economic domination," say Heriberto Araújo and Juan Pablo Cardenal in The New York Times. But China's political and capitalist ideology threaten human rights and fair competition, and western countries must ensure […]

China is key to unified Korea
If America could assuage "China's concerns about a reunified Korea" by pledging never to station U.S. "troops on what is now North Korean soil," Beijing might be convinced "to cut North Korea loose," says Peter Beinart in the Daily Beast.

China's currency policy benefits U.S.
We shouldn't worry about Chinese currency policy, says Matthew Yglesias in Slate. To keep its goods under-priced relative to American-made goods, China must buy U.S. government bonds, which puts it at risk of inflation and gives America a cheap loan that can be used to boost domestic employment, he says.

Nuclear issues remain unresolved
In Foreign Policy, Jeffrey Lewis addresses relations between China and the United States, calling nuclear weapons "the fifty-megaton elephant in the room." China and the United States are not helping their interests by ignoring dialogue on the matter, he says.

Worry about failure, not success of giant
The conventional wisdom on China, like the thinking on the old Soviet Union, is wrong, says Minxin Pei in Foreign Policy. Most people are preoccupied about what they see as China's inevitable rise. Pei contends we should be worried about its fall.

To boycott, or not to boycott?
Would buyers be willing to go on a strike against Apple to get it to require its suppliers to give workers a safe place to work and other reasonable working conditions? That's the question posed by Peter Cohen in Forbes, after revelations in the New York Times focusing on abuses in Chinese factories that produce […]

Gorgeous Garage-Built 1956 XR Panhead
Somewhere in Matthews, North Carolina, is a garage that's not your typical repository of lawn mowers, garden tools, and other household crap, but one that turns out stunning custom motorcycles. And not just your typical custom motorcycles, but fantasy phantom Harley-Davidson bikes like our never-made-but-who-cares XR Panhead feature bike. Yeah, Harley did make production flat track race bikes back when Elvis released his first hit single, but those were KR models based on the 45-inch Flathead, not a Panhead. ... READ MORE

Mrs Stevens: Well when you have a sick child Cricket, moneys not really the first thing on your mind. You seem like a very capable doctor, Dr. Bailey. Can I trust that you caught my daughter's skin cancer early.

Mrs Stevens: Oh no, Call me Robbie hun.
Izzie: No mom. Don't call her hun. Don't call Bailey hun. You know, if you have questions you can just ask me. She's very busy and this thing I have it's complicated.
Mrs Stevens: I know it's complicated Isobel, I'm not a complete idiot. Now, I saw this thing on Tyra Show. There was this woman who had a mole on her private parts, and the dermatologist did not bother to check her privates 'cause she thought that they gyney would have done it. But, the gyney didn't do it. Maybe she didn't even go to the gyney. I don't know. Anyway, It was bad. She was bald and everything. She did not have a mole on her private parts did she?

Izzie: Mom!
Mrs Stevens: Anyway, my point is, Jade, well, she had them cut off. Both of them. Just to be on the safe side. And, they look even better now. For real. Life gave her lemons, and she made cantaloupes. So maybe, I dunno, maybe honey, there's an upside in this for you too. Right?

Mrs Stevens: Wait, hang on. Skin cancer? Oh, God! Izabel Stevens. Oh, you scared the hell out of me. And then you made me come all the way up here to Seattle just for some ugly old mole. Oh, sweetheart.

Izzie: You're getting married! It's a miracle. Meredith Grey, child of darkness, has found someone. Don't you want to celebrate that? It's your day Meredith. You can't just piss it away on some slip dress and a cheese tray from a grocery store. That will just make me so sad, and I don't wanna be sad 'cause I'm already suffering through cancer and that's sad enough.

CUMBERLAND — Cumberland American Little League All-Star coach Dave Belisle has been this route before. When his team, the recent District IV champions, takes to the field Saturday night for its opening-round game in the state tournament, it will be the second time that Belisle has made the trip. Four years ago when his son Brian was on the squad, he was the coach when CALL also competed at the states after copping the district title with an exciting win over a very-talent Smithfield team in the finals.
PAWTUCKET – PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler gave everyone a scare after lifting shortstop prospect Jose Iglesias after seven innings Thursday night. After all, this is the same Iglesias that was hit in the head with a fastball on July 3, resulting in a concussion that sidelined him for two-plus weeks. After a narrow 5-4 loss to Lehigh Valley, Beyeler clarified that the plan was to ease Iglesias back into the fray. "He felt good. We were thinking three at-bats or five innings, something in that range," said the skipper. "He had a nice night."
PAWTUCKET – Plate discipline and strike zone recognition can be found on the first page of the hitter's manual. Knowing the pitches one can drive goes hand-in-hand with refusing to chase the ones that dance outside the strike zone, tempting as they may be. One day Yale head baseball coach John Stuper passed along this nugget to Ryan Lavarnway, words of wisdom mentioned to him by Gene Tenace, a former teammate of Stuper's with the St. Louis Cardinals in the early 80s.
The R.I. American Legion Senior Division tournament will get under way this weekend at fields across the state, but the format of this summer's tournament will be vastly different from the one used in past seasons. Instead of 16 teams trying to claim back-to-back, best-of-three series to reach the "Final Four" of the tournament, the goal this season will be to earn berths in the "Final Eight" double-elimination format that begins on Tuesday night at McCarthy Stadium in West Warwick and Pierce Field in East Providence.
CUMBERLAND --- The Cumberland Major Division all-star team's roads to the District IV and state championships were tough. The squad's next venture only promises to be a whole lot tougher. Cumberland joined nine other ballclubs from the northern part of the country this weekend to take part in the Eastern Regional Tournament at Breen Field on the Bart Giamatti Complex in Bristol, Conn.
PAWTUCKET — The Pawtucket Red Sox are in a pennant race. Just don't mention it to PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler. "I get excited about all of our wins," Beyeler said Wednesday after his PawSox moved to within one game of International League North division leader Lehigh Valley with a 2-1 walkoff victory, their third win in as many games with the IronPigs this week. Pawtucket can move into a tie for first place with a win over Lehigh Valley in tonight's series finale.
PAWTUCKET — Kevin Millwood isn't much different than the average working man who is nearing the end of his professional career. The 36-year-old veteran of 14 big league seasons is proud of his accomplishments (159 wins, third in the 1999 National League Cy Young voting) and determined to go out on his own terms, pitching baseballs on hot summer days in the minor leagues, waiting for one last call to the big leagues.
PAWTUCKET — Greg Grall, the bullpen catcher for the Pawtucket Red Sox, describes Ryan Lavarnway, the catcher, as "raw, which gives him the upside of what he can possibly do. Obviously with his hitting, he's going to have the potential of playing in any lineup. Now he's just going to work on continuing to improve his defense. That's the key."
EAST PROVIDENCE — There were more than a half dozen birdie putts that either lipped out or just missed the mark. There were two holes that he probably wished he could have had back. But after an opening round of 3-over 73 at the 82nd annual New England Amateur Championship on Monday, Pawtucket's Kyle Hoffman was perfectly content with how he shot the ball at the challenging and tricky Metacomet Country Club.
As a Hall of Fame second baseman blessed with the ability to influence the game's outcome with his bat and glove, Ryne Sandberg appreciates the intangibles that present day second sackers Dustin Pedroia and Robinson Cano bring to the ballpark. To Sandberg, Lehigh Valley's first-year manager, Pedroia and Cano are chips off the old block. For good measure, so is Chase Utley, who unlike Pedroia and Cano operates outside of the A.L. East caldron.

About Your Hosts
Linda and Lloyd Kleypas and their son, Ki, welcome you to Gruene Apple Bed and Breakfast in historic Gruene, Texas. A "retirement" project, the Gruene Apple is one of the few B&B's designed and built specifically as a bed and breakfast.
Each room at Gruene Apple has its own story, told by the furniture, art and little personal touches that create an atmosphere of retreat from daily life. The lobby, library, dining room and theme bedrooms are filled with items collected by Linda and Lloyd over their 46 years of marriage and travel.
Add the gourmet cooking skills of both Ki and Linda to the cozy elegance of each room, and guests are in for an enchanting stay at Central Texas' premier destination bed and breakfast.
Come enjoy hospitality and history at Gruene Apple!
