You hide everything behind a smile
They call you traiter
Even as you shed blood
Risking life and limb for them
They tell everyone you'll destroy us
Yet all you do is smile
And say 'When that happens please kill me'
You're so sweet it sickens me
They fall for your mask of a smile
Never seeing the sadness
The pain raging in your eyes
No matter what they do
You'll protect them with your smile
Sheltering them with your presence
Just for tonight hang your wings up
Let me hold you as you tremble
Frail and pale as a snowflake
I don't need your protection
Don't treat me like those morons
I won't let them break you
You're mine to protect
Whatever they think
Be their saviour
If you have to
But you're my angel
The only one who can make me smile

Act One
Lenalee Lee, still wearing her crimson plaid rain-coat boots (which did nothing to compliment the navy and forest-green pants that were her current attire) steadied her wits about her as the two men approached. The shorter one tipped his burgundy hat at the frowning lass, and with a wry smile on his lips, shook her trembling and delicate hand.
"Lenalee Lee, I presume." He said, his soft, yet deeply accented voice ironically pleasing to her ears and though intended to sooth, had quite the opposite effect. His words did nothing to calm her suspicions , the worries and fears once again stirring in the pit of her petite stomach.
"Yes, I am she." Lenalee stated in a slightly wobbly voice, wringing her mitten clad hands together as she stared at the worn cobblestone ground beneath her. "And, you are Mr. Kanda?" She asked, once again making eye contact with the smiling fellow, light hair peeking out from beneath his cap. A chuckle escaped from the pale lips, and the grin widened a con

Need to know: CFA hazing 70 interview questionsMBA value for money
Many miners are battening down the hatches as iron ore prices fall again. BC Iron Ltd.'s new managing director, however, is taking a different approach.
Morgan Ball says the Perth-based company should aim to double in value and look for new projects that can complement its majority owned Nullagine mine in the Pilbara region, which will soon be able to produce 6 million tons of iron ore for export annually.
"I'd love to get us to a billion dollar company as our next growth horizon and that will involve risk, because it will include M&A," said Mr. Ball, who is due to replace long-term BC Iron Managing Director Mike Young next month.
Mineral Resources Ltd. is focusing more on port access in Western Australia than the wobbly iron ore price as it calculates when would be the right time to sell its mining business.
Perth-based Mineral Resources is something of an oddity among mid-cap companies seeking to capitalize on Asian demand for raw materials like steel because it is an engineering contractor for major operators in Western Australia's Pilbara region at the same time as competing with them to sell iron ore.
Managing Director Peter Wade said separating the two units is on the agenda, but securing more capacity at crowded ports takes priority. Management are currently in talks with authorities at Port Hedland, Fremantle and Esperance about gaining more space for iron ore exports.
Iron Ore Holdings Ltd. is in talks with several potential investors in its Buckland iron ore project in Western Australia state, and could use a recent deal with Mineral Resources Ltd. over a separate deposit as a development template.
The Perth-based company–controlled by media mogul Kerry Stokes and with a market value of 185 million Australian dollars (US$190 million)–has been approached by several parties interested in taking equity in Buckland and has given several large Australian mining companies a tour of the proposed mine site.
Alwyn Vorster, Iron Ore Holdings' managing director, told Deal Journal Australia that he is holding back appointing a financial advisor for now to allow the talks to progress. But management remains confident of locking in a partner by the end of September, enabling a final investment decision on Buckland to be made.
For Fortescue Metals Group, US$95 is the magic number.
That's the price of iron ore it likely needs to stave off another cash crisis that saw management go cap in hand to lenders for US$4.5 billion so it could renegotiate some of its debt, as well as shield its ambitious production plans in Australia's Pilbara region from further cutbacks.
Credit ratings agency Moody's Investors Service says as long as the price of the steel-making ingredient remains at US$95 a ton or higher, Fortescue should have the muscle to push ahead with its aggressive expansion program. This involves spending US$4.6 billion on development projects this fiscal year.
Crisis, what crisis?
Fortescue Chairman Andrew Forrest clearly sees a silver lining in iron ore prices falling to a two-and-a-half year low near US$90 a ton: the chance to snap up stock in the company he founded cheaply.
According to a filing on the Australian Securities Exchange, Mr. Forrest paid 18.5 million Australian dollars (US$19.1 million) for five million shares in Fortescue on Aug. 29. It comes two days after he spent A$20.1 million to buy a similar number of shares on market.
Mr. Forrest's move to lift his holding to around 32.8% comes as shares in Fortescue — the world's fourth-largest iron ore miner by output — trade at three-year lows.
Atlas Iron Ltd. may need 180 million Australian dollars (US$186.5 million) in new funds to double production in the Pilbara if iron ore prices remain stuck around two-and-a-half year lows of US$100 a ton.
Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young says Atlas's current cash pile of A$400 million won't be enough to see it through to annual production of 12 million tons without a rebound in pricing, given the spending required over the coming year on its Mt. Dove, Abydos, and Utah Point projects.
Atlas is among a group of mid-sized mining companies aiming to break the stranglehold of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group on iron ore production from the Pilbara, which accounts for more than 40% of the global iron ore trade by sea.
Fortescue Metals Group's go-it-alone strategy to become one the world's fourth-largest iron ore miner may change as it eyes the next major expansion beyond what it has dubbed T155.
In comments that will interest Beijing and Tokyo, home to the world's biggest steelmakers, Fortescue Chief Executive Nev Power said it could bring in a strategic partner on future iron ore developments in the Pilbara region.
T155–Fortescue's US$9 billion infrastructure push aimed at tripling its output in the Pilbara–is scheduled for completion next year. But the Perth-based company says that, as long as the iron ore market is looking healthy, it will quickly move on with new projects in a continuation of its aggressive ramp up.
Fortescue Metals may need lenders with deeper pockets than it first thought.
Fortescue requires iron ore prices to reverse course or it may have to raise as much as US$2.6 billion to fund its expansion plans in Western Australia, says Goldman Sachs.
That would be more than double the US$1 billion that Fortescue — Australia's third-largest iron ore miner after BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto — said last month it will seek to raise by the end of this year after a detailed review of major new projects forced the company to revise its infrastructure budget higher.
Committing billions of dollars more to expanding any mining endeavor these days is sure to rouse the passions of investors who would rather the money was returned to shareholders given the cloudy outlook for demand globally. But Rio Tinto can make a good case for spending heavily on iron ore.
The Anglo-Australian mining giant has approved investing a further US$4.2 billion on the expansion of its mining capacity in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia and on developing the Simandou project in southeastern Guinea.
The boom in demand for iron ore has peaked.
It is hardly surprising–not when the top producers of the steelmaking ingredient have long predicted it would, or when viewed against the sharp fall in prices of the commodity last year, or even when balanced against China's own lowered economic growth assumptions.
Still, investors perhaps needed the reminder that the good times for the driver of Australia's export trade as well as the earnings of top mining companies have cooled.

BD-1, First Variety of Denomination
Dannreuther estimates in his recently published Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties that 200 examples exist of BD-1, which makes the variety very scarce, yet collectible by the determined numismatist. The comparative rarity of the 1796 and 1797 Small Eagle, as well as the BD-2 through BD-5 1795 marriages, focuses type demand on the Small Eagle design on BD-1.
This is a pleasing example of this elusive early large denomination gold type. Original golden-honey luster outlines all legends, stars, and devices, and also fills the crevices of the eagle's plumage and Liberty's hair, cap, and drapery. A few minor adjustment marks (as made) are present near the wreath, but significant post-strike abrasions are limited to a thin line on the cheek, a tiny depression near the Y in LIBERTY, and a few closely spaced marks on each side of the L in LIBERTY. Given the substantial remaining luster, and the considerable definition on the eagle's breast feathers, the desirability of the present piece needs no further elaboration. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.

Re: Dominance IssuePosted by: Marie Evans

In Reply to: Dominance Issue
: I recently adopted a male JRT of 4 years old. In general he is a good boy but he has a dominance problem. Whenever anyone is laying on the ground (including me) he will attempt to bite ears and hump legs, arms, etc. Is there anything I can do to prevent this behavior?
------------------ Response Area -------------------
If this terrier is not neutered make an appointment and get him in ASAP. While much of this humping behavior is steeped in dominance issues if this is an intact male dog it can also steeped in sexual behavior.
Many people unconsciously encourage mounting behavior with some of the games they play with dogs. Body to body rough-housing can bring a display of dominance mounting behavior. I suggest not getting on floor level with your dog and allowing him to stand/walk on you. While you see this as a great play period for your dog, he doesn't see it as play but as a way to try to jockey for a dominant position.
You can try a Set-up with your dog by putting him on leash and recreate the conditions that usually get him to start the mounting behavior. In this instance have someone lay on the floor and as soon as the dog approaches and begins to mount, give a sharp leash correction and a firm NO! You can also arm the person on the floor with a water pistol to shoot in the dog's face as soon as it tries to mount/nip.
You may have to do this set-up several times. The dog then should stop with just a voice command. If he does you must praise him lavishly, tell him what a good boy he is.
My other suggestion is what I tell everyone! Get him enrolled into a good obedience school and work with him everyday. An older dog can learn just as well as a younger dog, it is never too late to go to school, that applies to dogs as well as us humans!
So remember, neutering if not already done, no rough-housing especially floor level, set-ups with correction and praise and last but certainly not least obedience school!
Good Luck!

McGinnis: Thankful for family today and every day
Today is yet another reminder of what a big year for gratitude it has been in my little world.
I still have a job in the profession I chose when I was only 12 years old. I've come through double knee replacement so well, it kinda spooks me and the physical therapists. Despite the steady advance of Alzheimer's, Mom still knows me and all our family.
Yet at this moment, the thing I'm most grateful for is that for the first Thanksgiving since I turned 8, I have no part in making dinner. Well almost; as keeper of the secret to Mamaw's pecan pies I'll hold up this treasured family tradition. Regular and sugar-free.
Brother Steve, an outstanding cook, will be at the helm today and a fine time will be had by all, no matter the menu. We agree that the important thing is we'll be together and that's enough to turn bologna sandwiches into a feast.
These are the moments when we're reminded how dear our families are and how easily they can be taken for granted. Just ask military families what they'd give to have a deployed loved one at the table today, how they count the hours until their return.
It's an American tradition for families to scatter, especially now, wherever they can find employment. My brothers and I know all it would take to make our mother completely happy would not be just for us to live in Wichita Falls, but that we'd stay in the same room with her most of the time.
This despite the fact that one by one, she and her siblings left their home in Olney to serve in the military or go to college and the jobs that followed.
Visiting with my California brother recently, we wondered what it was like to be part of one of those families that whenever they get together, it ends in arguments, screaming matches and hurt feelings. (I suspect alcohol may play a part in this, but some people can crank up a donnybrook completely sober.)
Before dessert is served they begin dredging up past slights, real and imagined, criticize each others child-rearing techniques, make wild accusations about who cheated who out of which more worthy Christmas gift, etc. It bears a striking resemblance to certain reality TV shows.
And you wonder why some people spend more time coming up with excuses not to gather for Thanksgiving dinner than they do making a dish.
Every family has their differences and between sibs, there's usually some old wound that can be freshened up. We are thankful to have been raised in a family where, before speaking such harsh words, we are able to ask ourselves, "What Would Mamaw Say?"
Sudie survived two World Wars, the Depression and the Dust Bowl. We know what she would have told us.
"Of all your possessions, family is the most precious. Be grateful for them every day."

I dunno, I found him to have some wisecracks in his films. However, they were in a completely different tone from Roger Moore (drier and no winking at the camera).
Personal theory: Had things been different and Dalton did a
Bond 17
in 1991, people would have warmed up to his portrayal.
TLD had wisecracks but for me, Dalton's delivery of the likes of 'He got the boot' was the weakest thing about his performance. I don't remember him making any jokes in LTK (but no doubt they were there).
As I say, I like Dalton's performance, but compared with Craig's sardonic delivery, he's definitely lacking in that department.

Marriage Proposal On TV Works; She Says 'I Do'
(CBS) SEATTLE When Rand Fishkin's plans to propose to his girlfriend in a Super Bowl commercial fell through, he opted for the next best thing: an ad during her favorite show.
So Tuesday night, while Geraldine DeRuiter watched the CW drama "Veronica Mars," up popped Fishkin on her television set.
"Whole world? This is Geraldine," Fishkin said, holding a picture of his longtime girlfriend. "She is amazing in every way. For the last five years, we've spent the best parts of our lives together and made it through the tough times, too. I couldn't ask for anything more in my life than her love. And that's why I'm here today. Geraldine, will you marry me?"
Back home, after a few moments of squeals and disbelief, a visibly surprised DeRuiter said "yes."
Fishkin, the CEO and co-founder of a Seattle search engine optimization company, had hoped to propose in an ad aired during Sunday's Super Bowl game. Last fall, he anonymously created mysuperproposal.com, a Web site to share his plans and solicit donations to help pay for one of the coveted commercials, which can sell for upward of $2.5 million.
"This isnt just to make myself some profits," Fishkin, 27, wrote on his site. "This is to do something no man has ever done before, propose before the largest audience imaginable. Man, how sweet would that be?"
Bloggers began writing about Fishkin's efforts to help drum up support.
Media attention then focused on the mystery man behind the plan. Fishkin even appeared on several national programs, including "Entertainment Tonight," but stayed in the shadows and with his voice obscured to protect his secret.
And by the Super Bowl, the pitch was feverish. An AdWeek poll asked which commercials people most anticipated seeing during the big game and "that marriage proposal guy" reportedly came in first with 36 percent.
The buzz nearly led to a major company featuring Fishkin's proposal in one of its Super Bowl spots. That deal fizzled, though, at the last minute and Fishkin was left working on plan B.
With the help of KSTW-TV, the CBS-owned CW station in Seattle, Fishkin filmed his proposal on Monday and opted for a slightly lower key approach. He bought the 30-second primetime spot during "Veronica Mars," one of DeRuiter's favorite shows. His proposal aired on Tuesday night.
As the commercial played, Fishkin kneeled beside DeRuiter and opened a ring case. DeRuiter watched the commercial in shock, then, after nearly hyperventilating, embraced Fishkin and said, "Yes!"
The couple said in a posting on the site Wednesday that "were going to be taking some time to spend with friends, talk to each other, drink champagne and celebrate." No wedding date has been announced.
Fishkin earlier said he raised more than $10,000 in cash donations through his site. He will donate that money to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville.

Notes from the clincher. . . .
The scoreboard will say the Avs won the series in Game 6, but the players were saying something else.
Make no doubt, the critical point in this series was Game 5, when the Avs were outshot 40-17 but walked away with a victory for one reason, and one reason only. That would be Jose Theodore.
"The way he played in their building in Game 5 was unbelievable," Ian Laperriere said. "I've been around for 14 years and I've never seen anything like that professionally or amateur. We didn't want to go back to their building. Theo stole that game and gave us a chance to finish it tonight." . . .
Kurt Sauer, when asked before Game 6 for a ballpark figure on how many times Theodore had bailed him out: "Last game alone?" . . .
Ryan Smyth, third liner. It never did sound right and, sure enough, he didn't play like one against the Wild, notching two goals and an assist in the series. Theodore's presence in the zone is the Avs' No. 1 reason for confidence heading into the Western Conference semis, but Smyth coming alive is on the short list. "Obviously I went through a few injuries throughout the year," Smyth said. "Everybody goes through their ups and downs as a player, whether it's injuries or just not in a groove. But I've found it right now and hopefully I can continue." . . .
Talk about a man for all seasons. Joe Sakic won Game 1 for the Avs with an overtime goal, then got them started in Game 6 with an assist on the penalty kill. I only mention it because the assist on Ben Guite's short-handed goal was the 100th of Sakic's career in the playoffs, making him the 20th player in NHL history to hit the 100 mark. . . .
This no doubt will come as a complete and utter shock, but if Peter Forsberg has some aches and pains, he isn't about to mention them in front of a microphone. Said Forsberg, "It's been a very physical series, but so far, so good." . . .
Andrew Brunette, card-carrying Toronto Blue Jays fanatic, on the Rockies' 22-inning affair at San Diego: "It would be long. I played six slow-pitch games in a day, so that's pretty close." . . .
Let the record show that ex-Av Brian Rolston, traded to the Bruins in the Ray Bourque deal, stepped up for the Wild. He was on the ice for 10 of Minnesota's 12 goals, scoring two and assisting on four others. Then there's Marian Gaborik, who was stymied throughout the series by the Performer Still Known as Adam Foote. . . .
Check out NHL.com to bid on "Blood Feud," the book on the Avs-Red Wings series penned by Post sportswriter Adrian Dater. The book has been autographed by several big names in the series, including Forsberg, Sakic, Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan and Scotty Bowman. Proceeds from the highest bid will go to Hockey Fights Cancer. . . .
The difference in the series? Theodore is the obvious choice. But the offense provided by the Avs' defensemen was a major factor, too. Colorado defensemen scored 11 points in the series, including three assists by Jordan Leopold, who didn't play in the first three games. Said Forsberg: "It's great. Every time we get D's jumping in the play and getting points, it's huge." . . .
Forget Gatorade. Maybe the Wild coaches should have tried Red Bull. Minnesota gave up the first goal in each of the six games. Add in last season's playoffs and the Wild has played from behind in 10 straight postseason games. . . .
You knew the power play would be a big factor in the series, but not like this. The teams combined for three short-handed goals in the series — two by the Wild Bunch, one by the Avs. Nothing unusual there except that the teams combined for five short-handed goals during the season. The Wild ranked next-to- last with three and the Avs were last with two. . . .
These Stanley Cup playoffs have been baddy, baddy good to current Avs and former ones. At last count, six ex-Avs — Patrice Brisebois, Chris Drury, Greg De Vries, Stephane Yelle, Owen Nolan and Teemu Selanne — had scored game-winning goals.
