Barcelona areas - Barceloneta |
La Barceloneta area of Barcelona Passeig Joan de Borbó The name Barceloneta means literally "little Barcelona." It is on reclaimed land from the sea and there were residents here as early as the 15th century. The small triangular form of La Barceloneta covers just 71 hectares, but it is 71 hectares of the most expensive real estate in Barcelona's old city centre, the Cuitat Vella, due to its prime location near the beach and the the Port Vell marina and Barcelona centre. The first real houses in Barceloneta were constructed in 1753 by the army. The purpose was to provide new housing for former residents of the Ribera neighbourhood, who had been displaced by the construction of Cuitadella garrison, which was constructed by Philip V after the siege and fall of Barcelona in 1714. The garrisson later became what is now the Cuitadella Park. In the early 18th centure Barcelona was still walled and there was no room for new residents within the walls, so Barceloneta was conceived. In true military fashion 15 parallel streets were planned, each 7.5 meters wide and crossed by other three cross-sectional streets of 9.3 meters width. The original houses, some of which can still be seen, were two floors high and originally intended to house 1 family. They were all the same and built in a grid pattern. The earliest residents were mostly mariners, fishermen, shipbuilders. From 1846 they were joined by factories and factory workers as the industrial age started and the city council of Barcelona banned new factories within the city walls. New industrial areas outside old Barcelona sprung up and Barceloneta with it's close proximity to the port and the emerging railways was the an ideal location for industry. One of the original industries, the gas production industry, still has its head office close to Barceloneta. When the walls of Barcelona came down and trams connected the city, Barceloneta began the transformation into the beach and leisure area that it is today. Most of the two storey houses have been long since been built up or replaced, but the street layout is still the same and the "village in a city" atmosphere is still strong. Today La Barceloneta is a bustling, vibrant and essential part of Barcelona. Around 16000 inhabitants are adapting to the new Barceloneta which merges the best of old world tradition and customs with fast paced modern tourism. Hundred year old bars and fish restaurants co-exist well with new and trendy cocktail bars, chiriniguitos and hotels. Some old timers grumble that the number of tourists living and renting apartments in Barceloneta have turned the neighbourhood into one long vertical "hotel", the roads being corridors and the tiny flats the rooms. They might be right, but most locals and visitors agree that the infusion of visitors has made Barceloneta an even more colourful and lively area of Barcelona than before. Living in La Barceloneta Personal opinions from people who live there Positive: * Unbeatable neighbour atmosphere - the streets, the neighbours, the colours of the washing hanging out from every flat makes it feel like a real home with real people * the smell of the sea and the salt * great for walking, biking, skating this is the best place in town * like living in a village by the sea * plenty of old world restaurants and cafes Negative: * many tourists in the summer and noisy * close proximity to the sea means that the humidity can makes it chilly in winter * shopping is limited, but it's close to the city centre * No lifts * finding parking is hard but there is underground parking nearby

Walnut Tree | Juglans regia – Juglans nigra
Walnut tree, genus junglans belongs to the order of shrubs and trees known as Juglandeae, representing five genera and twenty one species, spread across the northern temperate climate of the Old World to the southeast Europe and east to Japan. Its original home is believed to be the north of Iran (Persia).
One of the tallest and largest of trees in the Junglandeae order the walnut tree grows rapidly and usually reaches a height of ten meters in ten years. However, it is not infrequently that they grow to a height of about twenty to forty meters, with a trunk diameter of two meters or more and limbs spreading ten to twelve meters from the stem.
The leaves and flowers of the walnut tree commonly appear in spring; but there are in cultivation early and also late varieties. The leaves are composed from five up to nine leaflets, oval shaped and somewhat terminal point. They are smooth and with an unusual shade of green.
Walnut Tree Fruit, Nuts
The male cylindrical catkins of the Walnut tree are produced from leafless shoots from the previous year. they are about 10 cm in length and bear a large number of tiny flowers. Female flowers appear at the peak of the current year's leafy shoots. The fruit or nuts of the walnut tree have thick green outer husks that burst, when ripe, and within it there is a woody nut called walnut.
The collected commonly by thrashing the branches with long poles. While this damages off many of the smaller branches it will also cause new spurs to grow that are generally female with fruit-bearing flowers. The nuts when ripe are eaten as a snack during the autumn and winter months.
When young the fruits are mostly used pickled either unripe or whole, or just the kernels, as sweetmeats. There are two commercially important walnut tree species, Juglans regia for nuts and timber and Juglans nigra just for timber. These two species have the same cultivation requirements and they are grown widely in temperate zones.
Walnut Tree Propagation Methods
Plant propagation for both Juglans nigra and Juglans regia is by seed but needs to go through a process of stratification or by graft onto rootstock which is a much better way of getting productive trees.

Original run | June 14, 2004 | – January 13, 2005
North Shore is an American prime-time soap opera that aired on Fox every Monday at 8 p.m. EST (7 p.m. CST) for seven months in 2004 and 2005. It centered on the staff and guests of the fictional Grand Waimea Hotel and Resort (actually the real-life Turtle Bay Resort located near Kahuku, O'ahu) on Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii.
From Fox's website:
- Intrigue abounds at the Grand Waimea Hotel, an exclusive Hawaiian escape for the wealthy, powerful and beautiful. Hawaiian native Jason Matthews runs the hotel and makes sure every guest gets everything they need. But when former flame Nicole Booth arrives as the hotel's new Director of Guest Relations, Jason's world is turned upside down. But Grand Waimea owner, Vincent Colville, is staying on top of him to make sure his past with Nicole won't affect their work life.
North Shore premiered on June 14, 2004, with a 13-episode commitment from Fox. The show was canceled in January 2005 after a 21-episode, single-season run. The show ended on a cliffhanger, and the final episode of the series has only had a single airing, not being shown in most territories (including America).
Critical reception[edit]
Critical reviews tended towards the low scale, with most critics acknowledging that North Shore was not meant to be high-brow theater:
- "North Shore seems the perfect summer show, a chance to gawk at toned flesh and to smirk over double entendres. [...] But most of the time, North Shore plays like a bland hybrid of Baywatch and Hotel. But North Shore could last because the people are attractive, the Hawaiian locales are prettier and the competition offers reruns."—The Orlando Sentinel
- "There's not a lot of deep thinking at this resort, just enough hanky panky to keep things from getting too slow. The danger of this type of drama is if you have to turn off your brain to watch it, you have to remember to turn it back on when it's over." – The Salt Lake Tribune
- "North Shore [is] the new undisputed king of the bad and the beautiful...[the show] has a secret weapon: bathing suits. This show is an excuse to see sexy, half-naked people on your television set once a week. Mute the dialogue and you'll double your pleasure." – The Washington Blade
The central character is Jason Matthews (Kristoffer Polaha), General Manager of the Grand Waimea. In the first episode, Nicole Booth (Brooke Burns) is hired as the new Director of Guest Relations. She is the daughter of a ruthless Trump-like billionaire, and an old flame of Jason's who broke his heart years before.
At the end of the first episode, Nicole reveals to Jason that she broke up with him because her father wanted her to date someone more successful, and he threatened to have Jason fired from the hotel he was working at the time. The chances for rekindled romance are then dashed when Nicole reveals she has become engaged since they broke up.
Later in the series, Nicole told Jason that she returned to Hawaii to seek him out before getting married, because she wanted to know if there was still a chance for their relationship.
The final episode has Jason and Nicole being married. However, in an unresolved cliffhanger, Jason is killed in a car explosion meant for Vincent.
Other characters[edit]
- Vincent Colville (James Remar), the hotel owner; he was in love with Nicole's mother before her family forced her to marry Walter Booth.
- Gabriel Miller (Corey Sevier), a lifeguard (he seems to alternate between guarding the pool and the beach); in episode three it was mentioned that he is planning to "turn pro" as a surfer. He does end up turning pro, with varying degrees of success.
- MJ Bevans (Nikki DeLoach), a waitress at the hotel bar; she is trying to start her own island clothing line. She starts the show in a relationship with Chris, but they end up breaking up. However, they get back together by the end of the show/season.
- Chris Remsen (Jay Kenneth Johnson), MJ's nascent boyfriend and proprietor of an extreme sports business. Despite breaking up, they end up back together by the final episode.
- Tessa Lewis (Amanda Righetti), a former con artist who manipulates her way into the Assistant Concierge position. By the end of the show, she is involved with Frankie.
- Frankie Seau (Jason Momoa), the hotel bartender. He ends the season involved with Tessa.
- Gordy Matthews (Michael Ontkean), Jason's father and a local surfing legend who owns a local bar and surfboard shop; his home was burned down in the first season and Jason suspects Walter Booth was involved.
- Morgan Holt (Josh Hopkins), Nicole's fiance who works for her father in New York as Head of Hotel Acquisitions. Morgan visited the hotel for an extended period, and his relationship with Jason vacillated from friendly to hostile and vice versa several times. Nicole left Morgan at the altar during the first season. He hasn't been seen since.
- Sam (Robert Kekaula), the head of hotel security.
- Walter Booth (Christopher McDonald), Nicole's billionaire father who wants to buy the Grand Waimea by whatever means necessary; he and Vincent have a long-standing rivalry dating back to Vincent's affair with Walter's wife; Vincent is convinced Walter killed his wife as revenge. He ends up in jail.
- Trey (Dylan Bruno) MJ's former boyfriend and pro surfer; he tried to win her back in the first season, even kidnapping her at one point; MJ was rescued by Chris and Gabriel.
- Alexandra Hudson (Shannen Doherty), Walter Booth's supposed illegitimate child by a secretary (thus making her Nicole's half-sister). She conspired with her father to take over the Grand Waimea. She ends up in a position of power in the hotel. Though none of the other characters (with the exception of Chris, whom she briefly dates) really like her, a few do respect her.

Filmic Representations of the Third Reich and the Holocaust
University of Texas at Austin
Abstracts Due: February 13, 2006 Conference Date: March 30, 2006
In conjunction with the First German Studies Workshop, the graduate students of the departments of Germanic Studies and History at the University of Texas at Austin are pleased to announce our annual graduate conference. This event provides a forum for students working in German film about the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Graduate students of all disciplines are encouraged to apply, and, furthermore, to participate in the First German Studies Workshop (March 31 ¢ April 1), where they will have the opportunity to discuss their work with leading scholars in the field.
With the recent release of Der Untergang, Der neunte Tag, and Napola, a new phase in the process of Vergangenheitsbewõltigung (coming to terms with the past) has begun. Some refer to this phase as a normalization (or banalization) of German history. Others see it as part of larger trends in a contemporary film and media culture obsessed with virtual histories and nostalgic reconstructions. And yet others see close connections between the recent wave of Nazi heritage films and the public culture of commemoration, memorialization, and historicization in the New Berlin Republic. Sixty years after the release of Die M÷rder sind unter uns, we propose to revisit the various political frameworks, institutional contexts, cultural movements, and historiographical debates and to take stock of the changing narrative, visual, and generic conventions that have defined the filmic confrontation with the Third Reich and the Holocaust since 1946. Topics to be discussed during the workshop include: the rubble film and the cinema of reconstruction; antifascism in the DEFA film, Holocaust documentaries made in Germany; German-Jewish encounters and reconciliations; feminist perspectives and womenÆs stories; post-unification and the return of genre cinema; documentary and avant-garde traditions; nostalgia and the heritage film; the Third Reich as cinematic spectacle and media event. Presentations on documentary films and television plays are particularly welcome.
Please send abstracts to Bradley Boovy firstname.lastname@example.com or Lee Holt firstname.lastname@example.com no later than February 13, 2006. Limited travel funds are available for qualified submitters.

Yeah, it's a party. And it's great rock music. Those who claim Manson "went back to Goth" and reclaimed Antichrist's noise after Mechanical proved too subtle for kids are only partly right. Okay, he virtually cloned his hit "The Beautiful People" in "Disposable Teens." And there are several familiar yell-and-stomp numbers on Holy Wood. But even those almost all contain a double-take chord change or a textural overdose or a mind-blowing bridge, and they'll be terroristic in concert. More important, there are a bunch of plain brilliant tracks where Manson anoints bits of rock history into his own church.
There's so much effort, Holy Wood winds up a stronger and more consistent album than any of his other work. If there's any problem, it's that Manson's shock rock seems a little quaint in 2000.
Attacking God and country and rubbing his fellow citizens up the wrong way, is par for Manson?s course. Yet never has he done it with quite such passion.
Manson proves again that he's one of the most skilled lyricists in rock today.
A pulverizing metallic symphony that makes Rob Zombie sound like elevator music.... The hateful huckster's most potent effort yet. [11/17/2000, p.126]
Where 'Holy Wood' does come together and threaten to transcend its at times cliched parts is in its clarity of vision. This is a lean, visceral album that is as tripwire lithe as its maker. Manson's also remembered to write some great pop-goth tunes this time out, nowhere more so than with first single 'Disposable Teens'.
The band truly rocks: Its malevolent groove fleshes out its leader's usual complaints with an exhilarating swagger that's the essence of rock & roll.... On Holy Wood, Manson is as ambitious, personal and heavy as he's ever been, but the album is not, as he has proclaimed, the band's White Album. The music of these L.A. scenesters, though still evolving, can't hope to match the Beatles' level of eclectic experimentation or melodicism.
Holy Wood is strictly derivative, but done with enough skill to stay entertaining. Even when the borrowing is more blatant (the guitars of "The Fight Song," for example, sound like a cross between Hole's "Plump" and Blur's "Song 2"), the album doesn't suffer noticeably.... As hard rock albums go, this one's a keeper. The problem is, Marilyn Manson aspires to something greater than that. He's plenty articulate next to the competition, and plenty adept at selling his message with powerful imagery and catch phrases. But strip away those ornaments, and what he's saying seems a bit too obvious.
Previously merely noisy screechers with no sense of how to play their instruments, Marilyn Manson is now an accomplished and complex industrial-strength hard rock band... It's a point driven home by the group's new album, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). Though not as strong or consistent as the glammy Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood instead bridges the gap between that album and its dirtier, raspier predecessor, Antichrist Superstar, with songs that are catchy on the inside, but noisy on the outside.
Manson's most ambitious, musically accomplished, and -- dare we say it? -- mature album to date. Holy Wood treads too much over the same nihilistic territory, raging against a God he claims doesn't exist, and describing in detail a life that he says isn't worth living. That said, there are some musically powerful moments on the album, notably the eviscerating power chords on "The Fight Song" and the galloping rhythms of "Disposable Teens."
As usual in Manson's world, the goal of maximum discomfort supercedes the music, which sticks to familiar and reliably doom-laden but catchy pop-metal on "Disposable Teens" and "The Love Song."... Here, he seems entranced by his own power, which may be why his dark worldview sounds baseless even as he offers sharp hooks others would kill for.
Nonetheless, while more ambitious than almost all of today's metal-flaked rock competition, the 19-track Holy Wood is not without its problems. On numbers such as "President Dead" and "Cruci-Fiction in Space," the band seems to be just rehashing old terrain. And, while The Wall may be a worthy role model, Manson and company don't quite have Pink Floyd's lyrical or musical range, adding to the rote feeling that troubles some of this overlong (60+ minutes) disc.
Manson still has the most bloodcurdling scream in rock. But the flat-footed musical backing on "Holy Wood" leaves his delivery sounding strained, like an overburdened star left naked on an empty stage.
With nothing fresh to moan about, it's like a seventh James Bond movie without any new gadgets. [12/2000, p.223]

FIR against supporters for celebratory firing
The Congress MLA from the Bahadurganj constituency in Kishanganj of Bihar, Mohammad Tausif Alam, has set standards for lavishness when he tied the knot recently.
The wedding, held last Saturday in Kishanganj district, was attended by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Mr. Alam took his fiancee from her village Tatha Matha to his village Gagaon in a private chopper. The celebrations got on the wrong side of law when some of Mr. Alam's supporters fired in the air.
An FIR has been registered against unknown persons after a video clipping established that there was celebratory firing. "Even if the weapons are licensed, they are used for defence, not for fun," Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar told The Hindu.
According to him, a case was registered against unknown persons since the faces of the persons firing were not clear in the video. The police have booked them under Sections 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 147, 148, 149 for rioting and damaging property. The police would be probing if Mr. Alam had consented to the firing.
'Permission taken'
As for the chopper, Mr. Kumar said, "It was a private chopper and due permission was taken from the Air Traffic Control."
Mr. Alam could not be reached for comment. He, however, told reporters earlier that the chopper had been hired by his friend. He also boasted to local channels that around one lakh guests attended the wedding.
Asked about the helicopter, Congress Legislature Party leader Sadanand Singh told The Hindu that he was not aware of it as he had left the wedding much earlier.
Bihar Congress chief Ashok Choudhary told The Hindu: "People in public life should act and behave with simplicity."
Keywords: Bihar MLA, lavish spending, celebritiy wedding

Marriage and divorce rates among baby boomers vary by educational attainment
November 08, 2013
Eighty-seven percent of baby boomers born in the years 1957–1964 had married at least once by the time they reached age 46. Of those who had married, 45 percent had experienced at least one divorce. There were some notable differences in marriage and divorce patterns between men and women and among educational attainment groups.
Sex and educational attainment | Ever married | Ever divorced | Never divorced |
Men, total | 84.3 | 36.0 | 48.3 |
Less than a high school diploma | 77.5 | 44.4 | 33.1 |
High school graduate, no college | 84.2 | 41.2 | 43.0 |
Some college or associate's degree | 84.3 | 39.5 | 44.8 |
Bachelor's degree or higher | 88.0 | 20.9 | 67.1 |
Women, total | 89.5 | 42.0 | 47.5 |
Less than a high school diploma | 86.2 | 52.3 | 33.9 |
High school graduate, no college | 90.3 | 44.5 | 45.8 |
Some college or associate's degree | 89.6 | 44.7 | 44.9 |
Bachelor's degree or higher | 89.9 | 32.0 | 57.9 |
Men and women with at least a bachelor's degree were about equally likely to marry by age 46 (90 percent and 88 percent, respectively). At all lower levels of education, women were more likely than men to marry.
Men with at least a bachelor's degree were about 11 percentage points more likely to have married by age 46 than were men who did not complete high school. Among women, the likelihood to marry varied less by educational attainment; female college graduates were only about 4 percentage points more likely to have married than were women who did not complete high school.
For both men and women who had married, those with a bachelor's degree were much less likely to have divorced than were men and women with less education. The differences were larger for men than for women, however. Among men who had married, those who had not completed high school were more than twice as likely to have divorced as those who had completed at least a bachelor's degree. This difference was roughly half as large among women.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys program. To learn more, see "Marriage and divorce: patterns by gender, race, and educational attainment," by Alison Aughinbaugh, Omar Robles, and Hugette Sun in the Monthly Labor Review, October 2013. The article examines the marital histories of men and women in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. These men and women were born in the years 1957 to 1964 and lived in the United States when the survey began in 1979.

Inching toward the fall
August starts today, and with it comes an increased sense of the nearness of Orientation, the return of students, and the start of the semester (not to mention the MIB pre-session). Bit by bit, we're starting to put in place everything we need to start a new admissions cycle. Of interest to readers might be our growing travel schedule. Many of our visits involve a small group of peer schools, or a larger collections of participants in a grad school fair. All of those dates are pretty well nailed down, but others will be added through the coming weeks. On a related note, a few years back we started to purchase carbon offsets for our travel. Recently we read praise of our offset organization.
Beyond filling in our travel schedule, we're also nearly done revising our online application. Because we work cooperatively with Tufts University's other graduate schools, changes to the app involve a collaborative process. We should have everything in place before the end of the month — plenty of time, even for those intending to apply for January admission. (Applications due October 15.) I should note that we have not made significant changes to our essays. There's a bit more guidance on how to use the "Additional Information" section, but everything else remains the same.
I'll write more about it in the future, but our interview schedule is already in place. If you know when you'll be in the area, you can already call to set up an appointment for an evaluative interview between September 24 and December 7. Fridays tend to be very busy. Book early if a Friday visit is best for you. (Interviews are always optional.)
All in all, we still have one foot squarely in the summer, but our focus will increasingly turn toward fall. I know that most applicants won't rev up until September, but I'll start providing tips and suggestions so that they're in place when the time seems right.

The Age Of Love (Revised)
Author's note:
To start off, this story I posted a while back ago..I wanted to try to fix my mistakes since I'm...
Show full author's note »
POV-Billy ;D
I was awaken with a strong smell of butter and pancakes. It reminded me of when I was dating Sara, she always made me pancakes. I sighed and closed my eyes, rubbed the lids with my fingertips and tried my best to fall back to sleep. I hate memories, especially about her."Billy! You up? It's time for to eat up ,we are leaving for work in 10 minutes." Adam exclaimed.
"Ugh, alright." I replied. I don't usually eat break fest, only when I'm really truly hungry, today I'm not. I walked over towards there table, Kim was looking very nice this morning, with her hair pulled back with black chop sticks in her hair, she always liked putting her hair up like that. She wore a black tank top with a gray vest, with a tight mini skirt, which obviously Adam didn't like her wearing. Adam was filling a dish full with scrambled eggs, pancakes, and buttered toast for me. He grabbed me a fork and made his way towards the table, he plopped down my plate, as he sat down next to me, facing Kim.
"If you guys are both leaving for work, who is going to babysit Violet?" I questioned. Making my way up,back to there kitchen to get me something to drink. Adam drank his milk, and replied,
"Oh, mom comes over to babysit." I nodded, as I filled a tall glass with orange juice. I made my way back to the table. I started picking at my food, running my tongue across my teeth, and I finally asked,
"Violet still in bed?" They look up at me, giving me a look.
"Yes. Why?" Kim asked, moving the fork of eggs towards her mouth.
"No reason, just wondering." I replied quickly, face flushing. There was a very long silence. Finally they finished, and they said there goodbyes as they left. I cleared there table, and washed there dishes. I didn't want to leave a mess for Adam's mother Janet. Janet is a very good mother to Adam, but he never appreciated it until now apparently. As I was cleaning there counter, I heard the door open, and footsteps moving towards the living room. I sat down the dish towel on the counter, and walked out to meet her. When she saw me, her eyes grew large and she gave me a big hug and kiss.
"Little Bill! I've missed you boy, why haven't you came to see me?" She exclaimed. I smiled, and laughed.
"Well, I haven't really had much time, with work and college." I stated. She nodded slowly.
"Studying to be an attorney I hear, I figured you do something like that." She said smiling.
"I love it, even though it's a lot of hard work." I replied softly. She smiled at me again, her dark blue eyes set on me, looking me over.
"Well, that's good Billy." She replied.
"Janet? How did you get here if the main road is flooded?" I asked.
"Oh, there's a cow path next to the Andersen's, you didn't know that?" She sounded surprised. The Andersen's are a very old couple who has lived in the same place for many years. I can't believe I didn't know there was a path there.
"No, well now I do, Well nice seeing you again Janet, but I must be getting home." I said hurriedly. She frowned, and narrowed her eyes at me.
"Why are you leaving so soon? Stay and talk with me Billy." She said sternly. I looked at her and smirked, she seemed to like me more than her own son which was quite sad.
"I need to get home, get ready for work and study I really wish I could stay but I can't. I'm babysitting Violet tonight though." I stated. Her eyes brightened, and she smiled.
"What do you think of Violet? She's growing up so quick." She said softly, almost sadly.
"She's a sweet little girl, but Adam and Kim need to stop fighting, really for her sake." I said.
"I know, I know but there still so immature, they act like there still in high school Billy, it's ridiculous!" She exclaimed. I could tell that she's frustrated with her son, I wouldn't blame her.
"It is, but I really should be going. I will come visit you some time Janet, I promise." I said. She smiled.
"You better, I miss seeing you Billy." She said. I nodded, and made my way into the living room, I folded up the blanket I used the night before, and sat it on the pillow. I brushed my hair with my fingers, and made my way out. It stopped raining for once, it was pretty foggy out though, and very muddy. I sighed, I still have to go home, and get ready for work. I reached my car, unlocked it and got inside. I adjusted my mirrors, clicked my seat belt on and started the engine I headed towards the Andersen's and Mr. Andersen was sitting on the porch, smoking a pipe. He must be at least 90 now but he's still kicking, I waved he looked at me like I was a stranger, I figured. I looked to my right, and I seen the small cow path that Janet was speaking to me about. I made my way down the bumpy road.
It was so bumpy, it made me annoyed but after a couple curvy turns I ended up in the outskirts of town, thank god ;Janet knew what she was talking about. I saw the sight of me in my mirror, and I looked like a mess, like usual but I didn't really mind. The roads were packed full of people now, and I turned to get on the right side, so I can get on the right street to get home. I stopped at the red light, and floored it on the green. I reached the road towards home. I took a right and I saw my apartment complex from the distance. I picked up my pace again, and I reached the parking lot of my apartment. I parked, locked the door and made my way inside. I smiled, there was Sara. She saw me as she sipped on her coffee she motioned for me to come over with her finger. I walked towards her, and rested my arms and folded them on her overly large secretary's desk. She looked very attractive today, her hair pulled back and everything her eyes sparkling as she talked.
"Billy, where were you last night? I called you." She asked. I narrowed my eyes, why was she trying to get a hold of me anyway?
" I was at my old friends house, his road flooded." I replied. She raised her eyebrow, a non believing gaze on her face.
"What? Did you think I was out with a some woman last night?" I rose my voice. Her face flushed, and she looked down.
" I called to see if we could go out to eat, on a date." She spoke silently. I instantly felt like a total ass. I brushed my bangs out of my face, in embarrassment.
"Sara, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of raised my voice, would you like to do that maybe tomorrow evening?" I asked, not really knowing if I'm up to going out on another date with her, since how bad our relationship was.
"No, never mind your obviously to busy to go out on dates." She snapped. I deserved that I thought. Without a reply,I just walked down the hall towards my apartment. I felt like a jerk, when I usually am sweet and a gentlemen towards women, but she hurt me dearly and I'm still really not over that. I reached my door, and unlocked it. I walked inside, my apartment a mess like usual. I decided to go get dressed for work, which I didn't really have to dress up for. I sighed, as I walked into my room. I undressed, and looked around in my closet to find my shirt I wear for the bar, I found it. It was a black shirt with the name of the bar written on right side of the shirt. "Firelight Bar and Grill", I slipped it on and put on jeans and my old sneakers. I don't understand why we work so early, its a bar. I guess its for those old drunks.

I've only read the first part of chapter one and I'm not sure I like the idea ofa 19 year old guy falling in love with a six year old? Is that really how it goes? I've only read to the part where he wakes up early in the morning.
It doesn't stay that way, it breaks off to wear she's 15/16 & he's about 27.
I know it's an odd story, but I like writing about different topics..odd ones.

Parenting skills improve in ADHD parents with medication7/30/14Parenting skills of adults with ADHD improve when their ADHD is treated with medication, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers.
Classes reduce pregnancy complications for stressed mothers6/26/14Pregnant women with moderate to high levels of stress and anxiety are at higher risk for complications during pregnancy and delivery. However, Penn State researchers have developed an educational preparation program for expectant couples that has recently been shown to improve birth outcomes.
Penn State Hershey to host event for parents of children with special needs3/26/14It's not uncommon for parents to wonder whether they are doing all they can for their child with special needs. Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is hosting an event from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 11, to answer questions, and teach parents and families more about the importance of incorporating early intervention into everyday life.
Probing Question: What is mindfulness?5/17/12Ancient wisdom tells us to stop and smell the roses and to live for the moment. Given our busy lives, it's no surprise that this advice is often easier said than done. Many of us multitask not only our physical chores, but our mental ones as well. But being mindful--which simply means bringing your attention to what's happening in the present moment--can have a profound, positive impact on interpersonal relationships, says Douglas Coatsworth, associate professor of human development and family studies.
Study shows benefits to mothers' early introduction into WIC program6/29/10Some low-income mothers are more likely than others to introduce their infants to cow's milk too soon. In doing so, they may put their children at risk of health complications, according to a study by researchers at Penn State and the Institute for Children and Poverty, New York. The study showed that women who enrolled in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's WIC program during their first or second trimester of pregnancy -- from week one to week 27 -- were far less likely to introduce cow's milk too soon than women who enrolled in WIC during their third trimester or who did not enroll at all.
Early parenting key role in infants' physiological response to stress9/17/08In infancy, genes are the key influence on a child's ability to deal with stress, but as early as 6 months of age, parenting plays an important role in changing the impact of genes that may put infants at risk for responding poorly to stress, says a new study by researchers at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Penn State, University of North Carolina-Greensboro and North Carolina State University.

The reversible wrapped-stitch pattern breaks up pooling and is perfect for use with hand-painted colorways of sock yarn. Worked in a muted solid or subtle colorway, the pattern would also work as a man's scarf. The scarf shown used less than 1 skein of Fire Lizard Studios Joy in colorway "Garden".
Gauge is not critical for this project. The scarf can be worked in any yarn using appropriate needles.

Great book for grade school kids

I was recently browsing in my local library and came across a great book that teaches about the different periods and ages of Earth. It starts with the big bang and follows through with how life started and how different species formed. I think this book is amazing and I leanred things I didn't know. Like mammels lived while dinasaurs roamed! I was blown away! Hahaha. I shared it with my 5yo ds. I will be purchasing this and sharing with my children for years to come. I wish that this was what I was taught growing up.
I'm pretty sure I've seen that and it is good.
Quoting Simply_Janeen:
Will have to look into that. I've seen some documentaries on one of the cable channels that have been really good too. I think one was called How the Earth was Made.

We've walked past TakoSushi countless times during our many visits to Downtown Greenville. After a not-so-good meal at a joint nearby, we were still somewhat hungry so we decided to give it a try and just order a couple of rolls to fill our bellies.
It is a small restaurant like many others on Main Street, but this one is not so crowded you can't navigate between tables. The menu is extensive with both Sushi offerings and some Tex-Mex flavors as well. Some of the sushi rolls even have a Tex-Mex flair. Although I'm not sure who decided Japanese and Mexican style foods are a good pairing, it was actually kind of interesting and oddly enough, it seemed to work just fine.
The service was excellent...all of the staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. The sushi itself wasn't too bad either. Not the greatest I have had, but somewhere in the top third (and I've eaten a lot of sushi!) The unique combinations were fun and I would like to go back again and try something new.
My bottom line: Give it a try. The service is great, the sushi is good and the combo of ethnic flavors and foods makes it a fun experience.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Our Loving Mother, Wife, NeNe, Sister, Aunt and Friend returned to the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father on March 29, 2012 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. We are so grateful to have such a great example of love, compassion, patience and faith that she was to us.
Annie "Joyce" Morrison was born on Dec. 25, 1938 - the oldest child of Albert and Rosa Christensen in American Falls. Twin sisters joined the family four years later. The family moved to Riverside and Joyce helped her father on the farm and excelled in school. She graduated from Snake River High School and went to Ricks College and received her teaching certificate. She taught in Blackfoot for two years and then went to Idaho State University and received her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She taught in the Pocatello District for over 27 years - 24 years at Lewis and Clark Elementary. She taught fourth grade in room 10 for her entire career at Lewis and Clark. She was a dedicated teacher and loved reading. She was active in PEA and Reading Association.Â
 She married Joseph Lowell Morrison on Sept. 20, 1961 in Blackfoot.  Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They had three children and raised them on their farm in Tyhee. She was a true example of compassion and faith.Â
Joyce was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held many callings in the Primary and Relief Society organizations. She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Joyce and Joe sold their farm in 2010 and moved to West Valley, Utah to be closer to their children.
 She is survived by her husband of 50 years Joe; children Jeff Morrison (Chris), Austin, Texas; Jana Kay Morrison , West Valley City, Utah; and James Morrison (Heidi), West Valley City, Utah; granddaughter Hadlee who was the light of her NeNe's life, and the ones she adopted as her granddaughters — Cassidy Striffler, Mckenna Price, India Morrison and Paige Henderson whom she loved spending time with, going to plays and school events; sisters Ida Nelson, Meridian and Iva Butler (LaVon), Littlefield, Ariz..; brothers-in-law Lynn Morrison (Joan) McCammon, Dan Morrison (Barbara ) Inkom; sisters-in-law Lola Morrison, Brigham City, Utah; Valoy Morrison, St. George, Utah; Barbara Morrison, Downey, Lorraine Morrison, Inkom ; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, in-laws Boge Morrison, Jennie Morrison, Lila Morrison and brothers-in-law Roland Nelson, Paul Morrison, Drew Morrison, Clayton Morrison and Phillip Morrison.
 The family would like to thank Curo Hospice, especially Jennine, Miriam, and Dr. Greg Miller for the amazing care they gave Joyce, and for Lisa Gravatt who lovingly cared for her the last few days of her mortal life.
 Joyce always said that flowers are for the living, not the dead, so at her request, please give flowers to someone to brighten their day or give donations to the American Cancer Society.
 Mom, thank you for all that you have taught us and for your unwavering testimony of the Gospel and your love of our Savior. We love you and will see you soon because Families are Forever!
 A viewing will be held Friday, April 6, 2012, from 6 to 8 pm at the Wilks Funeral Home, 211 West Chubbuck Road. A viewing will be held Saturday, April 7, 2012 from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. with the funeral at 11 at the LDS 44th Ward building, 4155 Yellowstone Ave in Tyhee.

Southwest Florida offers an outdoor classroom with unique environmental regions. The 5th Grade Wild Florida Adventure program provides students and teachers an opportunity to take advantage of that classroom and to use the environment as a platform for learning.
Habitat, adaptations, hydro periods, endangered species, natural and human disturbance, sustainability and conservation issues are topics of study weaved through the 5th grade curriculum. Water and its presence or absence in our ecosystem is the main unifying theme of the program.
Students, led by Audubon naturalists and trained Partner Educators, travel through the Sanctuary on a raised boardwalk in search of all things wild. After an initial introduction, small learning groups venture through the pine upland forest, wet prairie, and finally into the bald cypress swamp with its lettuce lakes and wildlife. Students conduct research projects on birds, plants, reptiles, and mammals and are introduced to Corkscrew's innovative natural wastewater treatment facility, the Living Machine.
Participating teachers must attend on-site workshops to be eligible to receive Sponsor funding. At the training, teachers receive Educator manuals, materials for their students, discuss strategies to implement the unit, identify how they will prepare students for the field trip, review all field trip activities and are provided examples of how to continue the trip with post trip activities in the classroom.

Published: Monday October 18, 2010 MYT 8:22:00 PM
KOTA BARU: Tengku Muhammad Fa-iz Petra ibni Sultan Ismail Petra, the younger brother of the Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V, was appointed the Tengku Mahkota Kelantan and heir to the Kelantan throne with immediate effect.
State Secretary Datuk Mohd Aiseri Alias said the decision was made by the State Council of Succession which met Monday and chaired by its chairman, Tengku Abdul Halim Al-Haj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim.
The ceremony to present the letter of appointment as Tengku Mahkota Kelantan was held at Istana Negeri in Kubang Kerian at 2pm.
Mohd Aiseri told a press conference that the meeting of the Council of Succession was attended by 14 of its 15 members except Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah whose membership ceased automatically for being absent before without the permission of the council.
Tengku Muhammad Fa-iz, 36, is second of four children of the former Kelantan Sultan, Tuanku Ismail Petra. His other two siblings are Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra and Tengku Amalin A-Ishah Putri.
Tengku Muhammad Fa-iz, who was born at Istana Kota Lama on June 20, 1974, was appointed Tengku Bendahara Kelantan on March 30, 1989 and is the head of the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council since June 21, 2009.
Mohd Aiseri said that according to the Kelantan State Constitution, Tengku Muhammad Fa-iz could be the ruler or regent when the Sultan is abroad for a period of more than 12 months or unable to carry to out his duties as the ruler over the same period.
He said the Council of Succession did not discuss the appointment of Tengku Temenggong as Monday's meeting was only to determine the heir to the throne.
The title of Tengku Temenggong was previously held by Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra but it was withdrawn by Sultan Muhammad V recently. - Bernama

Commentary by Jim Campbell
Ordinarily, I look at Alex Jones' musings and take them with a grain of salt. Even a broken clock being right twice a day seems to have a better track record than InfoWars. In this case however, he proves the old adage "Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once a year." He appears to have done so here.
Looking up H-CON 107 at Thomas.gov shows "Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution."
Will anything come of this or will it be as meaningful as congress declaring recognition for the Little League team that just won the Little League World Series.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it, I'm J.C. and I approve this message
This administration has shown a clear pattern of circumventing congress and putting forth their agenda using czars and agencies. This could not come at a better time. | |||

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Loft 523
523 Gravier Street, New Orleans, LA, USA
Neighborhood: Central Business District
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Loft 523 is an oddity in old-fashioned New Orleans — a boutique hotel in a completely modern style, one that would look at home in New York or London. Where many New Orleans hotels aim for a French mansion style, all antiques and ivy, Loft 523 is stark, minimal, contemporary. From inside, one could be forgiven for thinking of Soho; the fact that the French Quarter begins just a block away may make for a case of culture shock.
The hotel comprises eighteen studio loft apartments, rather than traditional hotel rooms — they are even numbered apartment-style (1A, 2B, and so on). Wide-open space is the order of the day, a welcome contrast to the typical New Orleans hotel room, swimming in antique furnishings and garish Louis XV fabrics. The look, rather, is clean and minimal, an homage to the converted commercial lofts of New York City.
This building was, in fact, a dry-goods warehouse, which explains the large scale — how many hotel rooms boast twelve-foot ceilings and full-length windows? The colors are subdued, in cream and grey, adding to the spare, calming effect. And the furniture and fixtures are equally modern — Herman Miller desks and Agape "Spoon" tubs, in particular, are fodder for design addicts' fantasies. Bathrooms are on a scale with the rest of the space, feeling a bit more like private spas, with a selection of Aveda bath products.
Seemingly a world away from the carnival of Bourbon Street, Loft 523 is a peaceful and meditative home away from home, especially for those whose taste runs toward modern design and loft living. At the risk of treading on a well-worn New Orleans cliché, this is as far from Anne Rice's vampire mansions as one can get — but if vampires are half as worldly (and sexy) as she says, they might just keep rooms at Loft 523 (but what to do about those floor-to-ceiling windows, we wonder).
