Starwood Hotels Debuts Its Four Points By Sheraton Brand In The Dominican Republic
Powering ahead in key international markets, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today announced it has returned to the Dominican Republic with the landmark debut of its Four Points by Sheraton brand in Punta Cana. Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana Village opens today in a prime location, just steps from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). It is the first of two hotels Starwood will open this year in the Dominican Republic with its partner Grupo PUNTACANA, and will be followed by The Westin Puntacana Resort in late 2013.
"We are thrilled to introduce our fast-growing Four Points by Sheraton brand to the Dominican Republic, right at the heart of the bustling PUNTACANA Village development," said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President of Specialty Select Brands for Starwood. "Four Points Puntacana Village offers travelers a relaxed atmosphere in a stylish setting along with all the amenities they love in one of the world's most popular island destinations."
The newly constructed hotel features 124 stylish and comfortable guest rooms, an outdoor pool and access to five miles of private beach. Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana Village also provides 1,614 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting facilities, a 24-hour business center, a fully equipped fitness facility and full-service dining. Guests can stroll to the shops, restaurants and salons of Galerias PUNTACANA within the Village, and hop on the hotel's complimentary shuttle to visit Six Senses Spa, the PUNTACANA Ecological Reserve and a choice of world-class golf courses located at PUNTACANA Resort & Club.
"Grupo PUNTACANA is proud to partner with Starwood Hotels to open the first Four Points in the Dominican Republic, soon to be followed by the island's first Westin resort," said Alberto Abreu, Executive Director of Hospitality for Grupo PUNTACANA. "Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana Village offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy style, comfort and affordability in a terrific location on the island."

And while we're on the subject, who has the right to keep Coconut Grove music-biz entrepreneur Pan Courtelis or former Pan American Airways president Martin Shugrue from receiving CIP application forms so that they can fill them out from heaven? (Courtelis departed this world last June; Shugrue died at his Houston home in 1999.) If dead people can vote -- as they did in the 1997 mayoral race -- why can't they investigate police misconduct?
Who is to say? The CIP Nominating Committee, that's who. For starters, the CIP ordinance bars anyone with a felony record from serving on the panel. "This list is defective," nominating committee member Paul Phillip pronounced at the May 21 meeting, looking annoyed. Detecting a potential public relations nightmare, the chief of staff for the superintendent of Miami-Dade Public Schools (and ex-FBI agent) proposed advertising CIP positions just as the city advertises any opening. That is, via several local print media outlets. Criminal trial lawyer Jack Blumenfeld, another committee member, also had qualms even if the city officials had vetted the list of the dead, the felonious, the out-of-towners, and the trappings of quasi-literacy. "I think it's impossible to do a list that's not going to be arbitrary," he surmised. No one openly disagreed. Out went the list. The CIP Nominating Committee had dodged the bullets of bias and cronyism, as well as a dire need for an editor. (The nominating committee will meet again July 9 to decide what questions they will ask when they interview applicants.)
To be sure, many of the chosen ones are probably upstanding citizens who would investigate cop cases diligently and apply the CIP's subpoena power wisely. But even this alternative weekly noticed that a full one fourth of the addresses for the city's prospective candidates were outside the City of Miami. Mysteriously, dozens were listed as Miami addresses even though they fell far outside the city's boundaries. While only a couple have left this world, a variety of others departed long ago from the addresses city staffers still think they're at. (For example, the list includes Martin Luther King Economic Development Corp. director Anna Ward, but she was fired from that position in 1996.)
Although the list of 420 is now officially moot in the CIP process, it is sure to retain currency in other spheres of city government. The city clerk's office has it readied for firing onto address labels. So, if you're not on this A-list and want to be, you need to get busy. You're either not plugged in with city staff, not loud enough, or both. The raw, unadulterated document follows; spellings are city staff's.

I am trying out the Pyramid tutorial example and it's built-in setup.py file appears to be set up to add static files to the egg file but it doesn't actually happen. I've done some search and toying with the settings but I'm unable to get the desired behavior.
- There is a MANIFEST.in file, it contains a line:
include *.ini
is set toTrue
contains the entry:{ '' : ['*.ini'] }'
It doesn't seem to matter what setting I change, there appears to be no effect. I should probably mention the desired files are listed in the SOURCES.txt file.
The files I'd like to have included are in the root of the distribution's directory (where setup.py resides).
What do I seem to be missing here?

Room was clean and neat. Good accommodation for a brief overnight place to stay.
Took a shower and the water got deeper and deeper as I went. When I mentioned the problem, the clerk said, "You were in Room 24?" She had not checked us in and the only way she knew our room number (of 2 we had rented) was because of plugged drain!! Obviously an ongoing problem which had not been fixed.
The staff - I guess they are a couple were really welcoming and nice. They gave us extra 15 minutes when checking out. The room was in PERFECT condition. True-smoke-free. Very clean, which is not guaranteed when you stay at a small motel. Great value for the price.
Stay was good
The lack of English spoken by the staff on the phone, made it impossible to reserve the room. Had to book room on line.
The staff was accommodating and they had clean rooms and accommodated us before the 2pm check in..It was quiet and comfortable..and very economical
One staff member didn't understand English and had a hard time communicating....
Terrible place. Almost scary. Room and hotel in terrible condition. Terrified it might have bedbugs. Dirty room with peelin wall paper. Sign said Under New Management. I wouldn't brag
I liked that it was available and it was pretty cheap.
I didn't like that I had half a roll of toilet paper,no tissues,and when I asked for two extra pillows because they were flat I only got one my wife rolled the bed spread up and used it for a pillow...
Every thing. Especially the owners very rude and busy trying to know what every guest is doing.
The heater did not work properly. It would get too warm, and then I would have to turn it off to cool it down. I had to get up several times during the night to adjust it. It was a very cold night.
not much
the maner the staff handled cleanest of the rooms

Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2004
Marques de Murrieta is a family business in an almost "romantic" sense of the world. This project is a way of life, where is impossible to cut the ties that bind our wines and our family.
Editorial Reviews for Murrieta Rioja Reserva
Hot rocks, candied licorice and smoky tobacco dominate the upright and focused nose that gains a touch of funk with notes of wet sneakers, fur, flowers, a minor matchstick tone, and cocoa, toast, caramel oak notes. In the mouth this is very smooth and easy with the richness to back it up. There is good balancing acid and nice, crisp tannins that give this lean yet ripe wine a refreshing feel up front that turns a bit heavy on the backend that is dominated by drying and astringent tannins. A nice marriage of fruit and wood with nice earthy shale notes offer some cut on the back end and black cherry fruit that lacks a bit of intensity though there is a long finish that has just a hint of leafiness candied/dried peach, cinnamon and braised fennel and orange juice edge. Solid. Rioja. 90pts
Member Reviews for Murrieta Rioja Reserva
Add your reviewA nice round kind of creature, saddle up, horseradish, wooded door with copper handle, I think of a Spanish villa in the early 20th. Low on fruits, solid tannins, nice citric spike. It has the appeal of your grand-pappy's war-chest. What treasures will you find?
Can't offer much beyond what Greg mentioned above. Sweet, complex, and mineral. Me encanta!
I´ve just tried this wine and it´s very good. Lots of complexity, dark fruits, leather, raisings and a aftertaste slightly sweet. 2004 it´s the best year in Spain, for all I know, in a long time. Drink it now!
Sensational does not express the character of this experience. From the nose to the finish this is truely a classic creation of art.
I love this wine, and was lucky enough to discover this in Barcelona and order a few boxes. This is one of the best Rioja's for the price. Deep colour, very full aromas with a hint of spice, and it is almost sweet. I think the smell makes the taste, which is sweet and smooth. Very very good with tapas meats - of course!
External Reviews for Murrieta Rioja Reserva
Wine Advocate ReviewMedium to dark ruby-colored, it offers up a stylish bouquet of cedar, leather, tobacco, spice box, and blackberry. Medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and succulent, this ripe, tasty wine from a superb vintage will evolve for 3-4 years and perform at its best between 2011 and 2019. It is a very good value in the classic Rioja style.Wine Tasting NotesMade from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo, this wine embodies ripe fruit qualities with a perfect balance of acidity and supple roundness on the palate, with just a hint of new oak. Our Red Reserva is a traditional Rioja with the classic "Murrieta signature" and enjoys all the benefits of modern winemaking philosophy, equipment and techniques.
The grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks for 8-11 days, with constant skin contact, at 25C. During fermentation the wine is both pumped over the cap of grape skins at the top of the tank (remontage), and also the cap is pressed into the fermenting wine every second day (pigeage). Both these processes ensure maximum color and aroma, without producing excessive tannin. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes are pressed in vertical wooden presses with double screws. This is a smooth and slow treatment that favors the extraction of the colour and tannins that reside in the skin of the grapes.
Wine Enthusiast ReviewThis is a spectacular wine in every sense of the word. The nose blends alluring scents of smoke, asphalt, rubber and black fruit. The palate is saturated and smooth, with black cherry and blackberry flavors leading the way. Coffee, berry pie and mocha help the finish hold court and then fade away. Already good but best from 2010-2020.Wine Advocate ReviewRated 92Dark ruby/purple-colored, it reveals an aromatic array of toasty new oak, spice box, mineral, blueberry, and black currants. Considerably more powerful than its traditionally made siblings, on the palate if is full-bodied, firm, layered, and quite concentrated. The spicy flavors fall on the dark side of the spectrum with blackberry, plum, and black currant in the forefront. The wine has at least a decade of aging potential and will be at its peak from 2015 to 2030 although it can be enjoyed now with a charcoal-grilled ribeye.Wine Tasting NotesTo speak about Dalmau is to speak about Canajas, a unique single vineyard within our 300-hectare Ygay Estate with vines that are more than 50 years old located at 420 meters above sea level. Long maceration during fermentation, ageing in new French oak barrels and a very limited production also characterize the wine. This modern Rioja wine made from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano perfectly reflects the innovations taking place at Marqus de Murrieta.

A beginning beekeepers school will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Haywood County Extension Service in Waynesville.
There will be complete informational handouts and discussions about the biology of bees, how to assemble and maintain a hive, how to buy and install bees, the diseases and treatments of bee colonies, how to use smokers and other equipment, and much more. Refreshments will be provided during midmorning and midafternoon breaks. Lunch will be on your own. There will also be door prizes and a package of bees (an $80 value) will be given out.
The class is $35 per person (or $45 for a family), which includes a year's membership in the local beekeepers' association. In addition, a field day is planned for late April for hands-on learning in an apiary nearby. The Haywood Beekeepers Association is sponsoring the event.
"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
— George Orwell
We live in an age — the relativity of truth — in which Orwell's adage seems as dated as monocles or top hats. Just as Darwin's theory of evolution led to Social Darwinism, a philosophy pitting one human being against another with survival of the fittest as the supreme law for success, so Einstein's theory of relativity changed popular philosophy and cultural mores as radically as it did the study of physics.
I was a weird kid growing up.
And, in many ways, I'm even weirder as an adult. Since day one, being weird is something I embrace. I'm proud of it, even though I don't give it much thought, because I think being weird is normal, and being normal is, well, boring.

"Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust…," the voice droned on, my brain barely comprehending the unreal scenario before my swollen, red eyes, hidden by my sunglasses.
My body was leaning against Ali's, her hands on my shoulders, steadying me as we watched the casket being lowered into the ground. The half-tab of Valium that Ali had given me before we left my condo, that morning, was helping me keep control of my nerves, preventing me from breaking down into emotional pieces.
We walked to the edge of the gravesite, both of us tossing a long-stemmed red rose down into the hole, landing on top of the casket.
Others did the same, slowly leaving the burial plot, walking towards the cars that were parked a short distance from the site.
"Goodnight, my sweet Betsy, I'm going to miss you so much," I heard my voice say, cracking as it said it, my brain still not quite connecting to this moment in time.
An aneurysm at the young age of fifty-four had taken Betts from me, from us, from her grieving family.
"She was getting ready for work that morning," her husband had told me between sobs at the funeral home, "and all of a sudden, she had a strange look come over her and she just collapsed; right there in our bedroom, collapsed and fell to the floor," his cries of anguish, wrenching my heart.
The next three days following that awful morning were a blur to me.
After I regained consciousness, after Ali made sure that I was alright physically, she laid me in our bed, covering me to help quiet the shivers that had overtaken my body.
When my shaking had stopped, after she had given me a Valium for my nerves, she jumped on her own cell phone, making calls, one right after the other, and my brain not fully comprehending all of the words I was hearing as she talked to several different people that morning.
She had called one of the local power-brokers in the city, told him of the situation and thanking him, had received the use of his corporate jet to fly us back to my home that very morning.
She dressed me, grabbed our stuff and drove us back to the big house, breaking every speed limit that the City of New Orleans had along our route.
Momma Jo was already there, Ali having called her, told her of the sad event that had just crashed into my world. Momma Jo had already stuffed clothes into our bags and had them ready for us.
Momma hugged me tight to her body, her tears falling from her face onto the top of my head as she held me, comforted me to her large body.
"Oh, Miz Lynn, oh child, I'm so sorry, I wish I could make it all go away for you, child," my crying causing my body to shake as she held me tight to her, her hands lovingly, soothingly rubbing my hair, the side of my face.
Shooing us out of the house after Ali had loaded our bags into the big car, Momma Jo waved us goodbye, standing under the portico, tears streaming down her face as Ali sped us out of the driveway.
She drove us to a small airport near Lake Ponchatrain, parking near the jet which was waiting for us.
The crew loaded our bags, Ali tossing her car keys to one of the hangar workers to park her car in the secured lot, next to the hangar.
She had also called Nat using my cell and introduced herself to Nat, explaining the situation.
Nat told her not to worry, that she'd be waiting for Ali's phone call, letting her know which airport we'd be landing at so that she could pick us up when we arrived.
Ali knew of Nat, of course, from our conversations, and Nat's willingness to help did not go unnoticed by Ali in that moment of sadness.
Two hours after we left New Orleans, we landed at an airport that serviced the corporate jets in my city. Nat was waiting for us at the hangar, after Ali had called and told her where to pick us up.
"Oh, Lynn, baby, I'm so, so sorry," Nat said, hugging me tight to her body, Ali loading our bags into Nat's car.
They introduced themselves to each other, formally, Ali gushing her thanks for pitching in at the last minute like this.
Nat shushed her thanks, saying to her that if she couldn't be there for me in times like this, then she wasn't much of a friend, was she?
They had decided, between themselves, that they would pick up my car from the remote lot at the International Airport where I had parked, when I left to visit Ali, a couple of weeks ago. Ali drove my car, following Nat as she drove us to our condo complex.
Both of them got me settled into my bed, the Valium that Ali had given me taking my body into much needed sleep and rest.
When I awakened a few hours later, I left my bed and walking into my kitchen, I saw Ali sitting at the counter, staring into her cup of coffee.
"Hi baby," she said softly to me, holding her arms open to me.
I leaned into her embrace, the depth of my sadness causing my stomach to ache.
"Feel like some coffee?" she asked, as she held me tight to her, her hand softly stroking my face, my hair.
"Yeah, I'd better get something into me," I answered, pulling from her arms to sit on a stool at my counter.
She fixed me a cup, set it down in front of me, kissing me sweetly on my forehead before she sat down on her own stool, next to mine.
Allowing me to take a couple of sips, when she thought I was ready to talk, she placed her hand over mine, causing me to look from my mug of coffee to her face.
"Okay, here's what I've done so far," she began.
Alice had called my office and spoke with Teri, my lead tech; the office had already heard of Betsy's demise and was in shock, of course, but between Ali and Teri, they worked out a plan for the next few days.
We had closed our office, on the day of the funeral, all of 'my troops' present to pay their respects to the matriarch of our company.
Those kids were free with their tears, wearing their sadness at Betts' passing on their sleeves; they'll miss 'mom' just as much as I will, I thought that awful afternoon when we buried her.
Teri, bless her, took over the 'Alpha' role in the office for the next couple of weeks, scheduling jobs, handling the calls; in short, running my business, and running it well, a fact not unnoticed by both Ali and myself..
I was certainly not in any shape to do it, that's for damned sure. And Ali? She made several phone calls after the funeral, making changes to her scheduled meetings and such, making plans to stay with me indefinitely, to make sure that I would be safe and well.
Ali and Teri talked every day, and anything of major importance, she'd discuss with me; if it wasn't major, Ali and Teri took care of it, whatever it was, I was totally fucking useless.
Dee, Janice, and Nat, of course, stayed in touch with me through Ali, they becoming friends with her in the process of her running my life, for now. I was to find out much later, from Dee, that they saw the deep feelings between Ali and me, and were happy for us.
In fact it was Dee who first told me, one day when she was over, while Ali was at the market picking up some groceries, that she thought that Ali and I were in love with each other.
I knew that I loved Ali, but 'in love'? Well, that was different wasn't it? Or, was it?
I shared Dee's observation about us with Ali that evening, as we shared some wine on my small patio. She listened, looking at me the whole time I blabbered on about what Dee 'thought'.
When I fell silent, finally, she nodded her head a bit, staring into her wine glass for a bit, finally raising her eyes to look at me as she began to speak, her hand reaching to take mine in hers.
"She's not wrong, Lynn; at least, as far as my feelings for you are concerned."
"I am in love with you, Lynn," squeezing my hand softly.
"I knew it the moment I saw you coming off the plane, when I saw you walking up the concourse towards me. My heart jumped into my throat at the sight of you," her eyes welling with tears now, "and when I held you in my arms, in that moment, I knew; I knew that I was in love with you."
My own eyes began to tear up as I gazed into Ali's face; it was then I knew what that 'feeling' was in the pit of my stomach when I saw her that day, I knew exactly what was causing me to feel the flutters when I kissed her, when I made love with her, when I was standing in the same room with her.
I was in love with her, too. I was in love with another woman.
And I've never felt better about anything in my life as I did about that.
"I love you, too, Ali; I am in love with you, too," I said, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"I don't know what we're going to do about it, but I do know that I don't want you to be out of my life now, or ever."
"Baby, I don't want that, either," kissing me sweetly on my lips, the salt of our tears from our faces, tasted by us in that kiss.
No, we didn't make love that night; we hadn't made love with each other since that night with Kay, in New Orleans. It had been a few weeks, by then, since either of us made love to the other, but it was alright.
It was okay with us both because of what we finally admitted to that night; it was beyond any physical love, it was way beyond that, and we were accepting of this new sense of us, of Ali and I being together.
Three weeks after we buried Betsy, I finally had the wherewithal to go into the office. Ali flew home to take care of some business but would be flying back the following Sunday, flying back to be with me, with us.
Teri and I spent the first two days of my return, bringing me up to speed; Teri had become a force in her own right, firmly taking control of the business, keeping our 'face' before the clients in a very professional manner.
I was impressed; so much so, that I rewarded her take charge attitude with a hefty bump in pay, a very hefty bump that I told her about that night when I took her to dinner in celebration of her promotion.
Oh yeah, that; I made her Operations Manager, a move that was received very well by my crew, by her former 'peers'.
"Baby, I miss you so fucking much," Ali was saying to me as we talked that night by phone.
We talked every night since she returned home and, several times a day, most days.
"Me too, Ali, I can't wait for you to return," I said to her, "I'm ready now, I'm ready to make love to you again, and I can't wait."
It took me those few weeks since Betsy's passing for me to let the grieving process recede from my consciousness, a few weeks before I began to feel normal again.
And I was ready to move on with my life, ready to become a part of society again. It's what Betsy would have wanted; I knew this and I did so.
Sunday finally arrived and when she cleared the concourse, she ran into my arms, our hug and kissing causing people to go around us as if we were a rock in a stream, the waters parting to flow around us.
There were some looks; looks of distaste at the two of us as we unashamedly embraced and kissed, but we didn't fucking care one whit about that.
Fuck 'em!
I broke several speed limits as I rushed us to the condo, leaving her bags in my car as we rushed into my place, tearing at each other's clothes as soon as I had closed the door from my garage.
I took her into my arms, pressing her against the countertop, my hand hungrily invading her sex, the wetness of her pussy, soaking my hand and fingers.
Our lips were mashed together, our bodies trying to become one as we embraced, my fingers furiously fucking her.
Her moans of contentment became a scream of orgasmic release, the intensity causing her knees to weaken, to slowly sink to the floor, taking me down with her.
She took me there, on the floor of my dining room, her tongue feeling a mile long as she explored my sex, as her hands squeezed my breasts and nipples, turning them red with pinch marks.
I felt her tongue as its tip slid across the wet skin between my ass and pussy as she gave my crack long licks and, unexpectedly, I felt Ali's finger enter my asshole as her tongue slipped into my pussy.
The orgasm that overtook me was as intense as any I've ever had; causing sparks to flash behind my closed eyelids.
It wasn't until around eight that night that we came up for air and a bite to eat, both of us having had our fires sated from the prolonged absence of sex between us.
We stayed naked, after we had showered, neither of us tiring of looking at the other's body as we fixed a light supper for ourselves.
Sitting at the dining table, we held hands as we ate and shared a bottle of wine with dinner.
"I love you, baby," she cooed, "I love you more than I thought it possible to love another."
"You're preaching to the choir, Ali, you're telling me what I feel about you as well."
After dinner, we put on a couple of short wraps and took our wine to the patio, night now having fallen.
"Any ideas about what or how we're going to handle this thing we have between us?" she asked.
"Hadn't thought that far ahead yet," I said, chuckling a bit, "I'm still in the 'wow' stage of this thing; why? Have you?"
"Yes, I have and I have a few ideas I'd like to run by you sometime," she answered, her beautiful eyes looking at me with a sense of love that I've never known from anyone, man or woman.
"No time like the present," I said, feeling so happy inside.
"Okay, sit back and hear me out; don't react, don't interrupt, don't say anything until I've finished. Okay? Promise me?"
"Okay; I promise you," wondering what it was that she had already worked out for us.
She looked at me seriously, took in a deep breath, as if gathering her nerve; exhaling, she began outlining her plan.
"In my 'perfect' world, you would move to New Orleans, to live with me and we would pursue our passion, our art."
"I would return to painting, something I have a talent for, something I enjoy doing."
"You would concentrate on your photography, refining your 'eye', becoming the photographer you've said that you've always wanted to be, but didn't have the time to work at."
"You would turn over the day to day operations of your business to Teri; God knows she's proven herself capable of taking charge and running your business."
"You'd return for a week, once a month, to keep your face in front of your clients, to keep your presence with your business."
"You'd keep the condo as your base for whenever you had to return for your business; for us, for whenever we came back here, together."
"We would explore life together, traveling, making whatever time we have left on this earth-and at our ages, it should be a long life for us both-precious to the both of us."
"In time, we'd open a gallery for new artists, including photographers, and become movers and shakers of some sort within the Artisan Community of New Orleans."
"We'd grow old together, as our love for each other kept us young at heart."
"We would be together, and that, above all, is what's important to me," she ended, taking another breath now that her soliloquy was finished.
We looked at each other, Ali waiting for me to say something, to say anything in response.
For my part, I was quickly processing the big picture of everything she had said; could it work?
Would it work? I wondered, in my mind.
On the surface, I liked what I heard from Ali, and in truth, I had toyed with similar ideas in my own head these past few weeks as I wondered how we'd keep this thing of ours alive, living apart as we did now.
"Lynn?" she said, softly, "Lynn, you can speak now if you'd like. You can tell me what you think of my cockamamie ideas. You hate it, I know it, I knew I should have thought this out a bit more," her eyes welling with tears.
"Be quiet, Ali, I don't hate it," I said to her, reaching to take her hand in mine, "I don't hate it at all."
She just stared at me, listening for me to say something more, her hand squeezing mine, her hand shaking a bit, with nervousness I supposed.
"Do you really think that we could make it work? Do you really feel that what we are feeling, now, is not going to go away?"
"Tell me that, Ali, tell me that you'd be in this for the long haul with me; not just for a while, not just because of the sex between us, tell me that, Ali, tell me that, baby."
"If I could, if we could, Lynn, I'd marry you today; I'd promise to be a part of your life, forever," tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but her lips smiling at me.
"It wouldn't be legal but ask me to take an oath, to pledge my love to you, for you and I'll do it; right now, if you'd like," Ali said softly, her voice catching in her throat from her emotions.
Rising, pulling her to stand along with me, I took her into my arms, embraced her to my body, my hand wiping the tears from her eyes, and kissing her sweetly afterwards.
"You just did all of that, baby, you've just answered me," accepting her kisses to me.
"I do love you so much," she said, our heads against each other's, "I can't bear to think of being separated from you."
"I love you, too, baby, I love you too," I said, leading her back into the condo, back to our bed, where we made sweet, sweet love to one another long into that gorgeous night.
My life would never be the same, I thought, and I wasn't sad at that at all.
The next few days, Ali and I talked it all out, looked at 'the plan' from every different angle that we could fathom; at the end of it all, it sounded better and better to me and I committed to move forward with our plan.
Ali cried tears of joy when I fully committed myself to doing this.
I asked Teri, the next day, to make plans for dinner with Ali and me, that we had something to discuss with her.
She said that it'd be no problem for her, "seeing how I have no fucking love life anymore," she joked with me.
We made the date for the next evening.
Teri was my first full time techie when I started my business and the second employee, behind Betts. She was my age, thirty-one, held a Masters in business administration, and a BS in computer science.
She ran the crew with an iron hand, but encased in a velvet glove. She was a good 'soul', and I've always liked her as a person, not just an employee.
I suspected that she might be gay before I discovered women, and since then, I was convinced of it.
Certainly, it's not a problem for me, especially these days.
"Teri, here it is in a nutshell," I said to her, after the wine had been poured.
I laid it all out for her, the complete plan that Ali and I had worked out. Ali answered questions when Teri asked her a couple but otherwise, stayed silent.
This was, after all, my business and livelihood that was 'on the table', so to speak.
"Now I know you'll want some time to think…"
"I'll do it," Teri said, interrupting me.
Blinking, "You'll do it?"
"I'll do it, and I appreciate the opportunity that you've offered to me; I will not let you down, Lynn, I swear to God, I will not fail you, or the company," she said, her eyes just a tad moist.
Saving the best for last, because I knew, in my heart, that Teri would take on the challenge.
"Well, you better not fail the company, kiddo, because you now own twenty percent of it."
Teri's mouth dropped open in shock, as did Ali's; I hadn't told Ali of my plan to give Teri a piece of the ownership.
I take that back; I gave Teri nothing. She was rewarded with an ownership stake because she had demonstrated her loyalty and abilities too many times over the past seven years to me.
She earned it, in the trenches, on weekends, on holidays.
It wasn't a gift; it was a just reward.
And if I want someone to run my business for me, I want that someone to have a stake in the results of the job.
The next few weeks were crazy with lawyers, accountants, investment brokers, yada, yada. Fucking crazy, insane.

Hrithik Roshan and Rob Cohen worked together recently on a commercial in the deserts of Dubai.
Hrithik, who has successfully battled stammering and more, says if you have the right point of view, handicaps can become your wings.
Hrithik Roshan has featured in a new defeat 'Defeat' video, where he is seen pushing himself to the extreme.
Hrithik Roshan arrived in Bhuj on Monday, to begin shooting for his much-anticipated 'Mohenjo Daro'.
The video featuring Amitabh Bachchan and other oozes style, action and drama.
Ashutosh Gowariker's mega project 'Mohenjo Daro' that was initially set to release ahead of Republic Day 2016, will now hit screens in August 2016.
Hrithik Roshan made his dream Bollywood debut with 'Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai' in 2000 and on the movie's 15th anniversary, the actor hopes to continue growing.

College launches fight against antibiotic resistance
By Deborah Gesensway
PHILADELPHIA—At an Annual Session press conference, the College officially kicked off its first-ever clinical theme, which will attempt to staunch the spread of antibiotic-resistant disease. To do so, it turned a spotlight on one part of the problem: inappropriate physician prescribing.
Related Articles: |
Studies have concluded that between 25% and 40% of antibiotics are prescribed inappropriately, explained Dale N. Gerding, FACP, who represents the Infectious Diseases Society of America on the College's work group on emerging antibiotic resistance. At the press conference, Dr. Gerding praised the College's upcoming efforts to write practice guidelines and educate internists about what he called "good antibiotic stewardship"prescribing the right drug at the right time in the right dosage and for the right duration.
ACP—ASIM plans to work with other organizations, including the CDC, to address multiple parts of what has become a multifaceted problem. Those areas include inappropriate use of antibiotics in agriculture and for animals, inappropriate use of antibiotics in other nations, and inappropriate demands and expectations of patients.
The College plans to write new practice guidelines to promote "good antibiotic stewardship"–prescribing the right drug at the right time in the right dosage and for the right duration. |
"Any successful strategy will have to be multifaceted," explained David J. Gullen, MACP, Immediate Past Chair of the College's Board of Regents. "But in the United States, we as physicians prescribe, and we accept responsibility and want to do our share." The alternative, he said, is bleak: "We could see new and re-emerging diseases in our lifetime for which we have no effective antibiotics."
Antibiotic resistance is not new; the first resistant microbes were identified shortly after penicillin came into use. But the problem is now considered a major public health issue. For instance, about 30% of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections in some areas of the country are now resistant to penicillin.
The CDC estimates that the country's office-based doctors provide about 100 million courses of antibiotics each year, 50 million of which are unnecessary and given mostly for colds and other viral infections for which antibiotics offer no benefit.
As part of its clinical theme initiative, the College will expand content on antibiotic resistance in all College education courses. It also plans to develop clinical practice guidelines for treating diseases prone to overtreatment by antibiotics (sinusitis, COPD and dyspepsia) and produce patient education pieces in English and Spanish. The College will also incorporate information about the risks of antibiotic resistance into its national "Doctors for Adults" public education campaign.
Dr. Gerding said he hopes the College's effort will transform the now commonly heard patient demand of "Doc, I need an antibiotic!" to "Doc, is this something we can manage without an antibiotic?"

Can Apple's New iPhone Answer Margin Calls?
I won't deny that Apple's operating leverage has lacked flair in its first three reporting periods of the year. But I don't think the company demonstrated underlying struggles in operation -- at least not to the extent they were exaggerated by the Street.
Now with a cheaper iPhone, which is said to come in various colors, I believe Apple is saying "to hell with your margins." The company is now going after market share -- something that Apple has never before cared about.
But is it the right strategy? It's worked for Samsung. But absent strong profitability, I'm not convinced Samsung's investors have benefited, when compared to shareholders of Apple. The idea that Apple may join Samsung doesn't sit well with me.
Again, I'm not saying that Apple won't be profitable. I just don't have enough information to get excited about this launch -- at least not from an investor's point of view. As a consumer, I applaud the decision. But until details are shared about production cost of the 5C and at what price point the phone will be sold, we can only speculate the effects on Apple's margins.
And with details about plastic casings and downgraded features, logic suggests the price can't be too high. I don't know much more than that. But what I do know is that the iPhone is still Apple's best-selling product. And if rumors are true that Apple will finally land the world's largest carrier in China Mobile (CHL) and NTT DoCoMo (DCM - Get Report), it will be only a matter of time before Apple reemerge as a solid growth company, while shedding the hybrid/mature giant persona that it resembles today.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
