Dependency has been a thief at night
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Allen Stone & Macklemore) – Neon Cathedral Lyrics on Genius
Dependency on substances such as alcohol and drugs had taken everything from Macklemore without his realizing it, like a thief stealing suddenly and unexpectedly under the protection of night. In most cases alcohol is consumed at night time, night time might also refer to how the theft went unnoticed.
"Like a thief at night" is a reference to the teachings of Jesus in which we says the devil will come and take people "like a thief at night."
2 Peter 3:10 …the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night."
Alcohol dependency also has the ability to still your dreams. Most people dream at night. This can also be tied in to what's above. Stolen dreams before you realize it because it went unnoticed and was disguised by night.

A common Africa-BASIC draft has been prepared though it will not be unveiled as yet, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has said.
The text of a potential treaty prepared by the BASIC countries (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) has been merged with another text prepared by the Africa group within the G77.
Mr. Ramesh said on Sunday, that all countries had decided to work off the two texts prepared by the Chairs of the Working Group on Long Term Cooperative Action under the Bali Action Plan and the Working Group of the Kyoto Protocol — both of whom tabled drafts of texts a few days ago.
"We have merged the Africa draft and the BASIC draft. We now have a common Africa-BASIC draft but we are not unveiling it now," Mr. Ramesh said in response to a question by PTI.
"As of now all countries have agreed that we will negotiate on the basis of these two legitimate drafts prepared by chairs," he said.
Countries introduced a text prepared in Beijing at the end of November.
However, several countries including the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Alliance of Small Island States and several African countries stated that the text was geared towards the interest of the emerging economies and did not cater to their particular vulnerabilities especially on adaptation.
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and African countries were especially concerned about the limit to temperature rise listed as 2 degree celsius and they prefer 1.5 or lower.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has evidence that with a 2 degree cap, some Small Islands are in the danger of being submerged under rising sea levels while others will face catastrophic consequences.
In the integrated draft, Mr. Ramesh said both 1.5 degree celcius and 2 were bracketed (subject to negotiation).
"Its not whether it is 1.5 or 2 that is critical, what is critical is the equitable access to atmospheric space.
If that principle is accepted you can have 1.5, you can have 1.8 you can have 2," he said.
The minister noted that India's position that a global goal should be preceded by an equitable formula for sharing of atmospheric space was strongly supported by France.
"France has strongly supported India's proposal that a global goal should be based on equitable access for atmospheric space measured in terms of per capita convergence," he said.
However, Mr. Ramesh noted that currently both groups had decided to hold back the drafts and continue working on the UN texts. "These are the only two documents that have legitimacy that have been prepared by the two chairs," he said.
The minister warned that if any of the other groups or nations sprang a surprise draft like the Danish text then the G77 countries would put out this text.
"If there is any attempt to derail these two drafts we will unveil that draft. If Australia or Denmark tries to come up with another googly of a draft we will then get into the BASIC—Africa text," he said.
Delegates from 192 countries have been for a week attempting to hammer out a climate change treaty before the heads of State/government from over a 100 countries including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, U.S. President Barack Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao begin to arrive this week.

HoopsHype Christian Eyenga rumors
Former Fox Sports sideline reporter Jeff Phelps and I were chatting with Eyenga in the locker room. Eyenga said his mother, who played on Congo's national women's basketball team, was 6-foot-9. Astonished, I asked how tall was his father. "Normal height," he said. "Like you." I'm 5-9, 5-10 on a good day. The thought of marrying a woman an entire foot taller seemed hysterical to me. So Phelps and I kept pressing Eyenga on his story, but it never changed. "My mama is 6-9," he kept insisting. So I wrote about it for the next day's paper and Phelps used it on the air during that night's game against the Bulls: Christian Eyenga and his 6-9 mama. Akron Beacon Journal
The next day, Christian waived me over. "Jason, did you write my mama is 6-9?" he asked, to which I of course responded yes. "My mama's not 6-9," he said. "My mama's 5-9!" I was flabbergasted. "Christian," I said. "Jeff and I went over and over this with you. We asked you five times!" He just laughed. A few minutes later I shared the entire saga with Byron Scott, who just silently shook his head. "Now you know what I've been dealing with all year," he said. Akron Beacon Journal
One more Eyenga story: A couple years ago, after he was traded to the Lakers, I was walking through the parking lot of the Thomas & Mack center in Las Vegas during summer league. The Lakers bus arrived for practice at least 10 minutes earlier and the players were already out on the floor warming up. As I was walking out, a beat up car that was at least 20 years old came speeding through the empty parking lot doing (by my guesstimation) at least 40 mph. Some blonde was driving and who jumps out? A barefoot Eyenga, who obviously missed the team bus and had his shoes slung over his shoulder. "Hey Jason!" he shouted. "Good to see you. Gotta go. I'm late!" That first season post-LeBron is worth a book. But I'm afraid no one would read it. Needless to say, the Cavs have come a long way since then. Talk to you Sunday from New York. Akron Beacon Journal
Openjobmetis Varese announced the signing of Christian Eyenga. The forward spent last season with Stelmet Zielona Gora in Poland. This season he signed with Turow but his experience ended soon. Eyenga has experiences also in the NBA. Sportando
On Monday, the Lakers let their final asset from the Dwight Howard trade slip away. The team's $1.2-million trade exception for Christian Eyenga, a throw-in to the Orlando Magic as part of the four-team trade, expired a full year after the initial blockbuster deal. The Lakers would have been able to acquire a player in trade, making up to $1.3 million (the Eyenga exception, plus the padding of $100,000 allowed by the league), without sending out any players to match salary. A trade exception can also be used to claim a player off waivers, provided his salary is not more than the allotted exception. Los Angeles Times
The free agent workouts will include drills and five-on-five. Other notable free agents such as Josh Howard, Christian Eyenga and Rasual Butler will also be participating in the pro-day, which will be held at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas. HoopsWorld
Teams have until April 17 to sign players who will be eligible for the first round of the postseason. Here are some of the top D-League players at each position, who could be called up at some point in the next month. GUARDS: Delonte West, Dominique Jones, Lester Hudson, Kris Joseph, Josh Selby, Courtney Fortson, Jerel McNeal, Andrew Goudelock, Christian Eyenga, Lazar Hayward, Justin Dentmon, Chris Roberts, Ben Uzoh, Sean Singletary, Ron Howard, Darington Hobson. FORWARDS: D.J. Kennedy, Samardo Samuels, Demetris Nichols, Willie Reed, Rick Jackson, Arinze Onuaku, Rasual Butler, Damion James, Luke Harangody, Micah Downs, JaMychal Green, James Mays. CENTERS: Jerome Jordan, Hassan Whiteside, Vernon Macklin, Hilton Armstrong, Keith Benson, Brian Butch, Mickell Gladness, Solomon Alabi, Jarrid Famous, Augustus Gilchrist. Sulia
After playing the last five games without Marcus Williams — the previous three of which have been losses — the Shanxi Brave Dragons have officially signed a long-term replacement. Christian Eyenga, who was drafted in the first round by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2009, has formally been announced as Shanxi's newest foreign player and has already linked up with the team in Taiyuan. According to Chinese media, the league has received Eyenga's letter of clearance and he will thus be available to play in tonight's nationally televised game against Fujian. NiuBBall.com
Mark Deeks: Christian Eyenga bought out of his contract with the Texas Legends today and will sign with Shanxi in China, replacing Marcus E. Williams. Twitter @MarkDeeksNBA
The Orlando Magic recently cut former first round pick Christian Eyenga, he is guaranteed more than $1.1 million that the Magic will eat if another team does not claim him through the waiver process. Christian can play and there is a belief a few teams have interest. If another team claims Eyenga off of waivers the Magic are off the hook for his $1.1 million salary. Most teams will try to get to 14 players over the next few days, which mean a lot of fringe guys are playing for either their roster spot now, or auditioning for another team after they get cut. The NBA regular season gets under way on Tuesday the 30th. Final regular season roster must be into the league office no later than 5pm EST on Monday the 29th. HoopsWorld
The Orlando Magic waived swingman Christian Eyenga and point guard Armon Johnson this morning, team officials said. The moves, which were expected, reduced the team's roster to 18 players. All NBA teams must have no more than 15 players on their rosters by 5 p.m. Monday. The Magic originally acquired Eyenga on Aug. 10, as part of the 12-player trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers. Eyenga arguably was Orlando's most gifted athlete, but he had struggled to earn playing time with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Lakers during his first two NBA seasons and his game remains unrefined. Orlando Sentinel
Eyenga, 23, didn't play this preseason for the Magic because of a strained right hamstring. Unless a team claims Eyenga off waivers, the Magic will have to pay Eyenga's salary of almost $1.2 million for the upcoming season, and that money will count against the team's cap figure. Orlando Sentinel
Any NBA star overcome with a sense of entitlement ought to listen to Christian's story. He lived in fear last season during his second season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, worried about the safety of his family, calling home every day. He said his mother and a sister recently relocated to London, but his father and various brothers are still in the Congo, unable to obtain visas. (Eyenga doesn't know all his siblings. Polygamy is legal in his homeland. "My dad, he has five wives," Eyenga said. "That's too many. Just one will be enough for me.") Orlando Sentinel
Eyenga does as much as he can to aid humanitarian causes for the Congo. He only got out thanks to the strong will of his mother, Gisele, a business woman, and his uncanny athleticism (which spawned the nickname, "Sky-enga"). Orlando Sentinel
The Magic were key players in a blockbuster, four-team trade on Friday when they dealt Howard and reserves Chris Duhon and Earl Clark to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Magic also sent Jason Richardson to the Philadelphia 76ers and in return will receive Aaron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga and rookie Moe Harkless, three first-round picks and two second-round selections. The Magic will receive protected first-round picks from Denver (or New York) in 2014, Philadelphia in '15 and Los Angeles in '17. NBA.com
"We also appreciate the contributions that Josh and Christian made," said Kupchak. "Although they were only with us for a short period of time, they worked hard both on and off the court and were well respected by their teammates. We wish them the best of luck in the future." NBA.com
Alex Kennedy: It sounds like the Orlando Magic will also receive Christian Eyenga in the four-team deal. Twitter
Andrew Bynum did not offer assurances to Sixers he will sign an extension, source said. He wouldn't have done that anywhere. Still, Sixers feel as if he's worth the risk, especially since they aren't exactly surrendering the future of the franchise (Andre Iguodala to Denver, Moe Harkless, Nikola Vucevic and first-rounder to Magic) to obtain him.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. New series artist Salvador Larroca arrives—as Apocalypse begins! Sinister has been resurrected, the pieces are moving into place, and everything is starting to come together. Can the X-Men prevent the coming of Apocalypse? The story arc that's been building for a year kicks off here!Jean and Scott call Bishop and his X-Men to the mansion with Cerebro. They arrive an instant later through Bishop's teleportaion technology. They are surprised to see Hank, still alive. Jean quickly scans his mind and assures Scott it's him. The reason they called them to the mansion is to deal with the crazed Natianel Essex, also known as Mister Sinister. It turns out that Essex faked his suicide when he was in custody at S.H.I.E.L.D. They were informed that he escaped from the morgue. All signs point to him breaking out rather than someone breaking in. Because Essex believes it is his mission to kill ten (innocent) mutants in order to be transformed, there's still six mutants that are in danger. Bishop assures Scott that he can find him.Below Manhattan, Sinister is talking to a voice that says it misjudged him. Sinister feels reborn and promises the voice that he will get the ten souls. His conversation is interrupted by a young mutant named Leech. Sinister tells him that he's looking for the mutants that live down there. His forehead lights up and orders Leech to take him to the others. Leech has no choice.Arriving at the center of the mutant sanctuary, Nightcrawler is alarmed when he recognizes Essex. Sinister pulls out a pair of guns and shoots down Leech, then another. Four more to go. Nightcrawler tries his best to stop Sinister and save other mutants. Sunder grabs hold of him only to have Sinister order him to take him to bring him some more victims. Another one down, three left.Just then the X-Men arrive. Sinister asks himself why stop at three? Bishop tells Beast, Pyro, Psylocke and Wolverine to help Nightcrawler get the other mutants to safety. Wolverine doesn't go for that plan and jumps at Sinister. Sinister orders him to kill everyone except for himself.It looks like they have him on the ropes until Sunder returns with two mutant children. Blam blam. One more left as he approaches Dazzler. As he shoots, Angel grabs him, angered that he'd shoot at his girlfriend. Bishop gets a strange look on his face then fires a blast that causes Storm and Dazzler to bump into each other. Sinister still has his guns. He points them at Angel and fires three times. Wolverine asks Bishop what did he do.Angel and Sinister crash to the ground. With the ten souls collected, a bright light comes and carries Sinister's body up.As Dazzler cries over Angel's body, Bishop apologizes. Wolverine gets in his face saying it was his blast that caused them not to be able to hit Sinister. Bishop tells him he doesn't understand. Before he can explain, Wolverine stabs him telling him he's "done."Crumpled on the floor, Bishop weakly says it had to happen like this, right now. Otherwise Sinister would have been someone else that they couldn't find. He says "We planned this..." When Wolverine asks who "we" is, Bishop tells him they'll see and dies.Up above, Sinister is transformed. A cloaked body says, "Sinister is no more." Apocalypse has risen.

Staying hydrated is a priority for teen mowing entrepreneur
The plastic wheels on the 3.75-horsepower lawn mower rolled noisily along the well-worn Richland, Ind., blacktop road as Jesse Justice, 13, made his way back to finish a neighbor's lawn he started earlier in the day. He had gone back home for refills when the two half-liter bottles of water he carried in the front pockets of his jeans ran dry.
The water refills are free, but gas for the mower is another story.
"I pay half and my mom pays the other half (for gas)," Justice said. "It's expensive.
"(One time) the carburetor broke, and we had to go buy a carburetor kit and some other things, and I had to fix it. I read the instructions on the package."
After arriving at the spot he had left off, the mower started with his first pull, and Justice was on his way again.
Mowing grass in 90-degree-plus temperatures is difficult work, so he tackled the lawn one rectangle at a time. Even then, his work was cut out for him since the grass was about a foot tall in some spots. The mower bogged down with each pass, but it didn't stall. The young lawn-mowing entrepreneur refused to slow down unless it was to take a couple of swallows of water.
"I'm glad I didn't start later. It would have been even hotter," Justice said during a water break. "If only I had a bigger lawn mower." And, with another pull of the cord, he was off again.

Fitzgerald, Hemingway fascinate after all these years
This is a reference book for anyone with a curiosity about the sweep and scope of not just American literature but the culture itself in art, film, sermon and song. The breadth reflects the interests of its co-editors: Greil Marcus, known for books like "The Old, Weird America: Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes," which look at popular music in a broad context; and Werner Sollors, a professor of English and African-American Studies at Harvard who has edited an impressive range of anthologies.
Its essays, numbering in the hundreds, are cleanly written and the pairing of writer to subject is part of the interest. They appear chronologically, some with a specific date to mark their significance and others with a year only.
For 1926, there's Walter Mosley, creator of the excellent Los Angeles-based mysteries featuring Easy Rawlins, writing a pithy essay on the birth of hard-boiled prose, which he titles "Poisonville." Savor this sentence: "Hardboiled is a state of being, not a state that any sane tourist would want to pass through on holiday."
Marking 1968, you get Mary Gaitskill, a provocative novelist, writing on Norman Mailer, the earlier literary provocateur, and coming up with probing observations about his writings: "They are precious, annoying and narcissistic, and yet as such, they are artifacts from narcissism's golden age, when the revelations of the self, the man behind the curtain of Art, was a refreshing surprise rather than an especially dull convention."
To paraphrase Whitman, who gets a big entry himself of course, the book contains multitudes: scores of poets, from Anne Bradstreet to Robert Frost to Rae Armantrout (who teaches at UCSD); fiction writers from the birth of republic to the present; a select number of visual artists that includes Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School to Maya Lin and her "Vietnam Veteran's Memorial"; and musicians like Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan.
Even the Winchester rifle and Mickey Mouse get entries. And entries like these make you realize that the editors have lost track of their mission along the way. They confuse literary history with cultural history of a broader kind. But there is so much good stuff in this book that you ultimately forgive "A New Literary History of America" its obvious faults — and just keep sifting through it.

Survey by the Institute of Water Studies paints a grim picture
Situation grim in most rivers in the StateHuman pressure expected to cause more problemsPharmaceutical, textile effluents causing pollutionPressure caused by human activity on the river basins is also expected to increaseDemand for water will go up to 30,944 million cubic metre
CHENNAI: One always knew this was happening but the statistics still alarm: data compiled by the State Environment Department has revealed that of all the river basins in the State, the Vaigai and Palar have suffered the worst in terms of relentless groundwater exploitation.
The survey, done by the Institute of Water Studies, says that of the 38 blocks on the Vaigai basin in which the study was conducted, three had gone beyond the brink (more than 100 per cent exploitation), four were extremely exploited (dark blocks: 85 to 100 per cent exploitation), ten were severely exploited (grey blocks: 65 to 85 per cent exploitation) and 20 were moderately exploited (less than 65 per cent).
Palar had 22 white blocks, 17 grey blocks and 8 dark blocks. Chennai rivers fared slightly better, with 15 white blocks, three grey and seven dark ones. Data for the Cauvery basin is still being processed. Among the major rivers, the Tamirabarani's score was perhaps the best with 13 white blocks, three grey and one dark one.
Statistics assembled for the IWS' Water Resources Plan also estimate that by the year 2014, the total demand for water in the State will go up to 30,944 million cubic metre (with a deficit of 2481 mcm over total potential) and by 2044, it will touch 31,389 mcm (a deficit of 2926 mcm).
The pressure caused by human activity on the river basins is also expected to increase. While the Chennai basins will support a population of 11.170 million by 2019 and 14.960 million by 2044, Palar's figures are 7.6 million and 9.95 million respectively.
Vaigai comes next with 4.150 million and 5.237 million respectively, followed by Tamirabarani at 2.890 million and 3.543 million respectively.
Industrial effluents
Taking their toll almost on a par with groundwater exploitation are untreated effluents being discharged into rivers. While pharmaceutical industries discharged 345 KLDs of effluents into the Adyar, textile effluents choked the Amaravathy (161 KLDs), Bhavani (1668 KLDs), Cauvery ( 9805.3 KLDs), Noyyal (21,463 KLDs) and the Tamirabarani (7623 KLDs), taking the total to 13,398 KLDs of toxic discharges that find their way into the State's waterways.
Even worse was the discharge from the man-made fibre industry into the Bhavani (32,500 KLDs) and the thermal sector into the Cauvery (75,000 KLDs).
Even many of the lesser-affected rivers such as the Varaha, Ponni, Vaippar and Kallar showed distress symptoms, necessitating a shift in the State's watershed management policy and river conservation programme.

It's part of a print campaign for German political magazine, Cicero. Yes, it's from last July, all you knee-jerk "Old" button pushers. But, I'm posting it now as a belated 51st birthday present to a fellow Leo and great man. Add it the Saturday's massive Obama fan art post.
The carvings are by German artist Ragna Reusch Klinkenberg. Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy, below. (The Sarko isn't very life-like.)
