Find out how we produce our information|
Usually you begin by seeing your family doctor (GP). They will examine you and arrange any tests or x-rays that may be necessary.
Your GP may refer you to a local surgeon who specialises in bone diseases (an orthopaedic surgeon), or to a bone cancer specialist or bone tumour treatment centre (sarcoma unit).
If tests show that you may have primary bone cancer, you should be referred to a specialist hospital or bone tumour treatment centre (sarcoma unit). Children are referred to a children's (paediatric) hospital for some of their care. Teenagers may be referred to a teenage cancer unit. These units have specialist doctors with experience in diagnosing and treating young people with cancer. They also have a team of people to support teenagers.
The specialist at the hospital or bone treatment centre will ask you about your symptoms|. They will want to know about your general health and any previous medical problems. They will examine the affected area to check for any swelling or tenderness. You'll usually have a blood sample taken to check your general health and you will have some of the following tests:
Bone x-rays may help to show whether the cancer has started in the bone (primary bone cancer), or has spread into the bone from a cancer elsewhere in the body (secondary bone cancer|).
Sometimes the way the bone looks on an x-ray can help the doctor tell which type of bone cancer it is. This is often true for osteosarcoma|.
However, you will need other tests before the doctor can definitely say whether it's a primary or secondary bone cancer and which type of cancer it is.
An MRI scan is used to assess the extent of the primary tumour so that the doctors can plan the best treatment.
This test uses magnetism to build up a detailed picture of areas of your body. The scanner is a powerful magnet, so you may be asked to complete and sign a checklist to make sure it's safe for you. The checklist asks about any metal implants you may have, for example a pacemaker, surgical clips or bone pins. You should also tell the doctor if you've ever worked with metal or in the metal industry, as very tiny fragments of metal can sometimes lodge in the body. If you do have any metal in your body, you probably won't be able to have an MRI scan. In this situation, another type of scan can be used.
Before the scan you'll be asked to remove any metal belongings, including jewellery. Some people are given an injection of dye into a vein in the arm, which doesn't usually cause discomfort. This is called a contrast medium. It can help the images from the scan to show up more clearly. During the scan, you'll lie very still on a couch inside a long tube for about 30 minutes. It's painless but can be slightly uncomfortable, and some people feel a bit claustrophobic. It's also noisy, but you'll be given earplugs or headphones. You can hear, and speak to, the person operating the scanner during the scan.
A sample of bone is always needed to diagnose bone cancer. This is because x-rays and scans can't always show whether or not a tumour is cancer. If it is cancer, the bone biopsy should show which type of bone cancer it is.
A bone biopsy is a specialised test. It should only be done by a radiologist or surgeon who's an expert in bone cancers. There are two ways of taking a bone biopsy:
Before the biopsy, the doctor will give you an injection of local anaesthetic into your skin and around your bone to numb it. Then they will pass the biopsy needle through the skin into the bone to take the sample. They use a special needle to do this. They may take several samples.
If the doctor can't feel the bone lump or it's deep within the body, the doctor may use an ultrasound or CT scanner| to help them guide the needle into the right place. You will usually be awake during a core needle biopsy, although you may be given a sedative to make you feel more relaxed and drowsy. Sometimes the biopsy is done under a general anaesthetic, particularly for children.
For most people, a core needle biopsy will show whether the lump is a cancer. However, sometimes it doesn't provide enough cells to give a clear diagnosis. In this case, you will need a surgical biopsy.
This type of biopsy is done less often than a core needle biopsy. The surgeon uses a surgical knife (scalpel) to open the affected area and remove a sample from the lump. You will be given a local or a general anaesthetic before a surgical biopsy. This depends on your general health, the size of the tumour and how deep it is inside your body.
The bone sample or samples are then sent to a specialist doctor (pathologist). The pathologist can tell whether the tumour is a cancer or not by examining cells from the sample under a microscope. If it is a cancer, your doctors may do further tests on the sample to find out which type of bone cancer it is.
Waiting for test results can be a difficult time. It may take from a few days to a couple of weeks for the results of your tests to be ready. You may find it helpful to talk to a partner, family member or close friend. Your specialist nurse can also provide support, or you can talk to one of our cancer support specialists| or another organisation|.

How to install Windows Server 2008 on a bootable USB
Image in a situation where you need to install Windows Server 2008 and the laptop doesn't have a DVD drive. Then how will you install them? You can even install Windows Server 2008 with a USB flash drive now. You need to create a bootable USB drive which can be used to install Windows without using DVD drive.
The method is very simple and you can use without any hassle. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.
Requirements:1. USB Flash Drive (minimum 4 GB)
2. Windows Server 2008 installation file
Follow the below steps to create a bootable Windows Server 2008 USB drive which you can install Windows server 2008 easily.
Step 1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to your computer and move all the contents from USB drive.
Step 2. Open Command Prompt with Administrator rights by Typing CMD in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter
Step 3. First type "DISKPART" and hit enter to see the below message. Next type "LIST DISK" command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.
Step 4. Next type all the below commands one by one. So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:
Don't close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.
Step 5. Next insert your Windows Server 2008 installation DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is "G" and USB drive letter is "H" (open my computer to know about it).
Step 6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step. Type the following command now:
G: CD BOOT and hit enter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
Step 7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.
Once you enter the above command you will see the below message.
Step 8. Copy your Windows Server 2008 contents to the USB flash drive.
Step 9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows Server 2008. Only thing you need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB.Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven't set the BIOS priority to USB.

Gram-negative meningitis is a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges). The bacteria turn pink when exposed to a special stain (Gram-negative bacteria).
Gram-negative meningitis
Acute bacterial meningitis can be caused by Gram-negative bacteria.
Meningococcal and H. influenzae meningitis are caused by Gram-negative bacteria and are covered in detail in other articles. This article covers Gram-negative meningitis caused by the following bacteria:
Gram-negative meningitis is more common in infants than adults. But it is also important in adults, especially those with one or more risk factors. Risk factors in adults and children include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This will usually show:
If the health care provider thinks you may have meningitis, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) should be done to remove a sample of spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) for testing.
Other tests that may be done include:
This list is not all-inclusive.
Antibiotics should be started as soon as possible. Ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and cefepime are the most commonly used antibiotics for this type of meningitis. Other antibiotics may be used, depending on the type of bacteria.
If you have a spinal shunt, it may be removed.
The earlier treatment is started, the better the outcome.
Many people recover completely, but a large number of people have permanent brain damage or die from this type of meningitis. Young children and adults over age 50 have the highest risk of death. How well you do depends on:
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
Prompt treatment of related infections may reduce the risk of meningitis.

By Army Sgt. Dustin RobertsSpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, April 29, 2009 Close to a thousand families in the Khandari area west of the Iraqi capital now have clean water for everyday use, as the Khandari Water Treatment Facility opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony April 27 in the Abu Ghraib district.
Contracted through the local government and Multinational Division Baghdad, the facility, which took close to three months to complete, treats and purifies 5 million to 8 million gallons of water per-day.
"This is a culmination of the efforts of many people, to include coalition forces and the local government," Army Lt. Col. Samuel Hayes, commander of 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment, said. "We have been working with the Iraqis very hard to make sure that everybody in Abu Ghraib has clean water to use every day."
The water facility will also help about 500 additional families by preserving the water that flowed through the original pipeline prior to the construction of the facility.
"I am so glad that these families are being taken care of," said Ali Ishmael, director of the Nasir Wa Salam water office. "This place will be a very big help in the future, especially in the summer months."
To provide more assistance to the people, the battalion's leaders continue to work with the local government to carry out more water treatment projects, electricity projects, a market opening and school projects in the Abu Ghraib district. Hayes said essential-service projects demand hours of planning, but the average citizen doesn't notice.
"This is a physical example of the government's desire to help the individual Iraqi," Hayes said. "When they drive by,they see this facility, and when they turn their faucet on at home they have clean water, and they know they can safely use it."
A concern of the local residents in Khandari is keeping the facility secure from insurgents and special group criminals. Hayes said Iraqi security forces, who lead in securing the facility, have improved immensely at combating violence in Abu Ghraib.
"Certainly, there is an ongoing concern about the security in Abu Ghraib, and there is still work to be done there, but I don't think we would have been able to do this two years ago," he said. "There has been a lot of effort by coalition forces, but more importantly, the Iraqi security forces have made great progress in this effort."
(Army Sgt. Dustin Roberts serves in Multinational Division Baghdad with the 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team public affairs office.)

In the past, I wrote an article about our Mickey Mouse government, and now I realize we have the world's greatest public organizer in charge of it.
Here's proof: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty (aka Obama) said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less." Joe Biden emulates this but loses thought during translation.
I do a lot of traveling in my line of work and listen to talk radio. From what they — commentators — say, I gather that Obama talks mostly about rich people, education, George W. Bush and vacations. I guess Obama must be rich to be able to take all these vacations.

The Pitbull Next Door
The neighbors got a cute little puppy for Thanksgiving. A cute little white pitbull puppy. I am less than thrilled. I feel bad stereotyping a dog, or my neighbors, but I can't help it. When we first moved into the house the kids wanted to meet Lilo and I had this naive fantasy that I would be the cool lady on the block so I went over to let them play with her. Big mistake. Right away I could see that the boys had no respect for animals and the youngest was potentially dangerous. When Lilo wouldn't do what he told her to he would yank on her leash and I could tell by his face that he wanted to hurt her-that if I hadn't been there he would have. Then he fell down the stairs and told his Dad that Lilo had attacked him! Luckily Dad saw what happened or we could have had a major problem on our hands. That same day the kids told me that they use to have a pit but it got too mean and they got rid of it. So 2.5 years later they have decided to try again. When I saw the Dad outside I said, "cute puppy" and he replied, "for now-we'll see what he's like in 6 months." Awesome. And I know that some people work really hard and train the dogs and they are great. But I also know that a lot of the sweet family dogs can turn in an instant. And yes I know that any breed of dog can be crazy-but if a golden retriever freaks out and tries to kill someone you can hit it with a baseball bat and it will probably let go. Not a pitbull. It will just get more pissed off and try to kill you too.
So today the family was out in the backyard with the dog and the kids were playing a really fun game. Kick the big rubber ball at the puppies face as hard as you can! ahahahaha. Dad's response? "If the dog gets it's jaws on the ball he'll break it." Not-hey play sweet with the puppy or be nice to the puppy or don't torture the potential killer and make it aggressive and fearful! AAAIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHH.
So. The new giant fence has moved up on our home improvement list!
I am now going up to my room to watch a happy dog movie-Eight Below.

Art News in Merida – November 2008
There's a lot going on these days in the Merida Art World… the crawling baby art scene is quickly becoming a toddler, walking now and sometimes falling down, but full of life and energy. Here's a snapshot of what's new in the Merida Art World as the winter season begins…
La Ruptura - Late 20th Century Cuban Art at Galería Tataya
In the late 70′s and early 80′s, after the Mariel Boatlift and subsequent closing down of the borders of Cuba, the art community gathered strength from an increased emphasis on education, and due to the isolation, developed a strong sense of identity which has come to define Cuban Art. Here in Merida, we are fortunate to be somewhat close geographically to that mysterious and culturally rich island. And we are also fortunate to have the visionary owners of the Galería Tataya, who have put in time and hard work (and money) to bring us their current exhibition of Cuban Art.
The exhibit is called La Ruptura (the Break), and features the work of a group of mid-career Cuban artists. This work has been gathered painstakingly and with great care by the owners, and we are the lucky recipients of their efforts.
There are works from at least four major artists, and a few minor ones. Works range from small $900 pesos original paintings that would make exquisite gifts, to large framed multi-thousand peso works that would serve well as the focus of a large room. The artists include Carlos del Toro, a teacher and artist of great reknown who has participated in more than 300 group exhibitions around the world, won awards in Cuba and abroad and whose art is collected both in museums and private collections. The works on display include pen and ink drawings, oil and acrylic paintings and lithographs. Our favorite resembles a Japanese ink painting, but with a decidedly Latin touch. They all share a vibrancy and intensity that we have come to associate with our neighboring island. Most are exquisitely framed and ready to take their honored place in your new colonial or modern home.
Even if you can't afford one of these reasonably priced works of original art, don't cheat yourself of a visit to Tataya to see the exhibit. This type of curated exhibit is not often seen here in Merida, and is a treat from both an educational and inspirational point of view. As lovers of art and boosters of the local art scene, we hope that Tataya will continue its quest to present such intelligent exhibitions and that other galleries in town will join them in adding to the depth and breadth of art available for view and for sale in Merida.
The New Art Map
Yucatan Living has recently printed and is currently distributing the third iteration of Merida's Art Map, a complete guide to the museums and galleries in Merida. This time, we are also proud to include a few artist's studios, complete with phone numbers and invitations by the artists to call and visit. As amateur art collectors, we know that the ability to visit an artist, see a range of their work and observe them in their studio is a treat that gives an added layer of enjoyment to a work of art hanging on the wall. If you haven't already read about some of the artists living in Merida, we encourage you to do that here in the pages of the Yucatan Living website. And then go look around and enjoy their work and the work of many others.
The map can be found in the official information booths around town, in museums, galleries, restaurants, hotels and other downtown locations. It can also be downloaded as a PDF here. We encourage any and all of you to visit the galleries, museums and studios designated on the map! And be sure to let the places you visit know that you found them through this map.
Art From the Countryside
Mark your calendars for Thursday to see something new in the art world in the Yucatan. From now until the end of the year, each Thursday from 10 am until 6 pm, a group called Circulo Verde (Green Circle) will be showing their art in Parque de La Madre (Mother's Park) which is on the other side of the callejon (walking street) next to the Peon Contreras Theatre. The artists, who come from the towns of Molas, Dzununcán, Chablekal, Caucel, Hunucmá and Buctzotz, will be there to talk about their art and their work, as well as to sell their work. What a great gift idea for the holidays… a piece of original artwork from the Yucatan Peninsula!
Art in Support of Nature
Starting at the opening on the evening of Dec. 5, this exhibit will feature the work of 30 local artists that are inspired by Nature Herself. Works will be for sale and the proceeds will benefit Niños y Crías, a local non-profit that educates children about caring for animals and the environment. The show will stay open for two months, and will be located at the Casa de la Cultura de la Universidad Interamericana del Norte, which is located on Paseo de Montejo at Calle 45 (Check the art map for the location!).
Art and Chocolate
At the corner of Calle 60 and Calle 49, in the shadow of the Hotel Aluxes, is a new place to eat and look at art. Cafe Chocolate opened a few months ago, and they bill themselves as a cafe-gallery-antique store. According to the representative that we talked to, everything in the cafe is for sale. That includes the art on the walls, the chairs you sit in, the chandeliers, the other furniture… everything! The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner including homemade fresh pasta. We will confess that we haven't eaten there yet, but we like the idea of art plus food! You can learn more about Cafe Chocolate at their website here.
Soho Comes to Merida
A new gallery called Soho Galleries is opening on Calle 60 between Calles 43 and 41, adding heft to the Santa Ana Art District of Merida Centro. Soho Galleries will feature three distinct galleries under one roof, and is named after the famous art district of New York City, the home of one of the owners, Adele Aguirre. The other owner, Nicholas Lavroff, is a photographer who lives here but hails from Australia. His digital images from Australia, the USA and Mexico will be a permanent changing installation in one of the three galleries. The second gallery will feature an ever-changing assortment of local artists, beginning with a fairly well-known local artist, Victor Argaez (if you can't go to Circulo Verde on Thursdays (see above), you can see Victor's work here for two months). And the third gallery will contain a rotating exhibit of the owners' large collection of authenticated prints from the Renaissance time period to the present day.
The owners will also be offering gicleé prints of the works in the first two galleries, so that collectors can enjoy the artwork at a lower price without having to buy the original. The Soho Galleries will be the only place in town where you can view art from such a vast range of global talent. And everything in the gallery, from old to new, is for sale!
Opening: November 28 at 7:30 PM
Location: Calle 60 #400A x 43 y 41
Phone: 285-2863
Speaking of gifts…
It occurs to us that the dreaded Holidays are coming up, and so many of us will be looking for presents that are original, unique and not too pricey. Might we suggest a few excellent places? The new gift shop, Alma de Mexico (Calle 54 at Calle 55), has a great selection of handmade items from all over Mexico. And Galeria Tataya (Calle 72 and Calle 53) has some exquisite Mexican handmade ironwork (both decorative and functional) and pottery from other parts of Mexico as well. And don't forget the Museo de Arte Popular's excellent gift shop!
And then there is the BIG event on November 29 at the TTTI School on Calle 57, between Calle 56 and 58 that will only be for one day, from 10 am til 5 pm. This event will be chock full of artisans from around the state showing very unique and beautiful hand-crafted articles… everything from Mayan waterflutes made from an ancient and very mysterious design, to hanging mobiles made from wood and jicaras (a local gourd), to jewelry made from local seeds… and so much more. If you are a fan of original arts and crafts, we will drop a hint: get there early. These artisans are not known for being prolific, so there will not be an unlimited selection!
If you can't find something different and wonderful in all these places for people on your shopping list (or for yourself…), then we are flabbergasted! tongue-tied! speechless! Except for this:
As Thanksgiving approaches, we just want to say that we are thankful that there is Art in Merida!

We've talked about blended families, as a team sport and the unique challenges blended families face as they try and bring two families together. One consideration that needs to be made, is how all children in a blended family are affected by the divorce of their parents. These affects can linger years, even decades, after a child's parents divorce–blended families often feel the rippling affects.
Adults in a blended family, must understand the issues that arise when children are affected by divorce and then, in turn, affected by re-marriage and a new family structure. Knowledge is power for parents and can help you spot opportunities to be proactive in dealing with issues that will arise.
A Shattered World
When parents divorce, the whole world that children have come to depend on is shattered. Children become fearful—not knowing what will become of them and the world that they've known. And because they're children with vivid imaginations, they can create in their minds horrible outcomes which they don't express.
This fear and picture of a shattered world will likely be brought into your blended family. This hightened level of fear can translate into insecurity, "lashing out," anger issues and much more.
Fear Turns to Insecurity
The fear that children experience makes them feel extremely uncertain and insecure. In spite of their parents attempt to offer reassurance that they are going to be okay, it usually has little effect because divorce impacts children emotionally. While the parents must deal with the emotional impact of divorce, imagine what it must be like for children.
This issue is compounded when the dream a child had for their own family, becomes a much more complex picture with a blended family. This new family brings new adults, possibly new children and other family members–giving children of divorce a sense of being overwhelmed and insecure.
The Blame Game
Children often blame themselves for their parent's divorce. Children, like adults, need to make sense out of traumatic, painful experiences. Children are affected by divorce because they have a need to know why their parents are divorcing. So they conclude, incorrectly, that it's their fault. They might think, "if only" I had put my toys away, cleaned up my room, gotten better grades, did what my parents told me to do, etc., etc., then my parents wouldn't be divorcing.
When a new family is being created, blame can also be pointed at the other children, the new spouse(s) and others who are seen as destructive to their fantasy family.
Come Together for the Kids
Children, in different ways, will experience different issues in response to divorce and becoming a blended family. It's important for all the adults in the new family to band together, for the good of the children and recognize issues will arise. You can not avoid them and you should not ignore them.
Early intervention and proactive planning can help mitigate the challenges you'll face and bring the entire family together by heading off these problems. In some cases, you'll want to bring in the professional help of counselors and/or your local church or pastor. Remember, blended families are a team sport–all members of your new team are an important asset.
Love freely and live purposefully!

(For selected international literary prizes in 2013, see below.)
United Kingdom
One theme—war—stood out in the nonfiction titles that appeared in the U.K. in 2013, a trend that had started with Wade Davis's Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest (2011), which had won the 2012 Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction and led to an outpouring of war-related writing. William Dalrymple chronicled the 19th-century First Anglo-Afghan War in Return of a King (2012), a book with obvious relevance to the present-day conflict, and in 2013 there were several works devoted to the outbreak in 1914 of World War I. Among the authors who offered works prior to the observance of that war's 100th anniversary were military historian Max Hastings (Catastrophe), diplomatic historian Margaret MacMillan (The War That Ended Peace), and TV anchorman Jeremy Paxman (Great Britain's Great War). Many more such books were expected in 2014.
The vogue for group biographies showed no sign of fatigue. The craze was spiritedly represented by Lara Feigel's The Love-Charm of Bombs, which explored how writers (such as Elizabeth Bowen, Graham Greene, and Henry Green) experienced London's Blitz during World War II; Olivia Laing's The Trip to Echo Spring, a journey across the U.S. to determine the reasons behind the alcoholic tendencies of some American writers; Richard Holmes's Falling Upwards, a study of the pioneers of ballooning; and Rachel Cooke's Her Brilliant Career: Ten Extraordinary Women of the Fifties.
However, the substantial solo biography (perhaps helped by the warm response to and striking sales figures for Claire Tomalin's Charles Dickens: A Life [2011]) staged something of a comeback, despite having been written off in some quarters as both stuffily old-fashioned and no longer commercially viable. With the exception of the first volume (Not for Turning) of Charles Moore's authorized biography of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the chief examples of that genre covered the lives of giants of the arts, the very category thought to be most unsellable.
Composer Benjamin Britten's centenary was marked by rival biographies written by Paul Kildea and Neil Powell. Lucy Moore and conductor John Eliot Gardiner produced ambitious volumes on the lives of ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky and composer J.S. Bach, respectively. Geordie Greig's Breakfast with Lucian was at once a biography of painter Lucian Freud and a memoir of the author's encounters with him. The year ended with the publication of two significant literary biographies: John Drury's Music at Midnight: The Life and Poetry of George Herbert, and Hermione Lee's Penelope Fitzgerald: A Life.
In November the judges of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction (who had also selected the books of Dalrymple and Charles Moore for the short list) chose Lucy Hughes-Hallett's The Pike: Gabriele d'Annunzio: Poet, Seducer and Preacher of War as the winner—the first biography to receive the award in almost a decade. The chairman of the judges, Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees, praised Hughes-Hallett's writing, commenting on her "intricate crafting of the narrative" and "original experimentation with form," and predicted that her readers "will be transfixed by her vivid portrayal of d'Annunzio—how this repellent egotist quickly gained literary celebrity and how, thereafter, his incendiary oratory and foolhardy bravery influenced Italy's involvement in World War I and the subsequent rise of Mussolini." Whereas the 2012 winner, Into the Silence, had shown a generation of mountaineers haunted in the 1920s by the spectre of the Western Front, The Pike depicted a particularly monstrous example of the statesmen and intellectuals who had begun pushing Europe toward war prior to 1914.
Top British poetry awards went to two collections shaped by the experience of middle age. As its title suggested, Kathleen Jamie's The Overhaul (2012), winner of that year's Costa Book Award for Poetry, centred on taking stock and, in particular, finding one's place in a world also filled with animals, birds, and inanimate nature.
Mustering equal enthusiasm was Michael Symmons Roberts's Drysalter, which was the recipient of the Forward Prize for Best Collection. For the first time at the awards ceremony, in a move that generated controversy, samples from the short-listed books were read by well-known actors rather than the authors themselves. In this sequence of metaphysical poems, The Guardian newspaper's Adam Newey wrote: "Like a latter-day [William] Blake or Stanley Spencer, Symmons Roberts places his revelatory imagery within a defiantly ordinary, contemporary setting, which both hints at its transcendent strangeness and brings that strangeness down to earth." Drysalter was also in the running for the 2013 TS Eliot Prize (awarded in January 2014), for which Hill of Doors, a work by Robin Robertson (Symmons Roberts's editor), was also short-listed.
No less admired at the Forward awards event was Emily Berry's Dear Boy, the winner of the Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection. Novelist Jeanette Winterson, who chaired the judges, praised Berry's voice as seductive but also "challenging" and said that "she has her ear to the ground to hear the beat of modern life but also has a wider sense of the historical."
After British novelists had claimed four consecutive (2009–12) Man Booker Prizes (Hilary Mantel twice, with Howard Jacobson and Julian Barnes interrupting her triumphs), the domestic run of success came to an end in October when the award went to The Luminaries by New Zealand's Eleanor Catton; at 28 years old she was the youngest winner, and her novel (832 pages) was the longest ever to take the prize. The work, set in her home country during the 1860s gold rush, also made inventive use of astrology. The novel was praised as a "dazzling work, luminous, vast" by Robert Macfarlane, chair of the judges, who also observed that it was "a book you sometimes feel lost in, fearing it to be a 'baggy monster,' but it turns out to be as tightly structured as an orrery."
The only homegrown writing on the Man Booker short list was represented by Jim Crace's Harvest, a parable about the price of progress for a long-ago (possibly 18th-century) rural community and a work that its author said would be his last novel. British fiction's curious fallowness in 2013 was also reflected in what many felt was the virtual absence of books that had been mistakenly overlooked by the judges.
Granta magazine produced its list of the Best Young British Novelists, a tradition begun in 1983 with the Martin Amis/Julian Barnes/Sir Salman Rushdie generation. Some of the 20 authors under 40 who were named might have been expected to provide a significant challenge for the Booker; however, the well-known figures selected (among them Adam Foulds, Sarah Hall, Kamila Shamsie, and Zadie Smith) did not produce new novels, and newcomers, such as Taiye Selasi, evidently failed to impress Macfarlane's panel.
As for garlanded midcareer authors, only Kate Atkinson produced a widely admired novel—Life After Life, about a woman who repeatedly dies and is born again as she lives through key 20th-century events such as the Blitz. Bewitched admirers of the novel protested its absence from the Man Booker long list ("Ingenious and furiously energetic: it's exhilarating to see a novelist at the top of her game," enthused Mantel). Where were the rest? Several could be forgiven for silence after publishing in the previous year, but others were part of a trend already discernible in 2012 when Philip Pullman retold Brothers Grimm tales and Rose Tremain (Merivel) and Pat Barker (Toby's Room) returned to characters that they had written about previously.
In 2013 news stories seemed to emerge weekly about a writer reworking, reviving, or continuing an earlier novel, character, or series, whether it be his or her own or someone else's. Among the protagonists who reappeared were Bridget Jones, who experienced motherhood, widowhood, and Internet dating in Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, and police detective John Rebus, who is fully restored to the Edinburgh force in Ian Rankin's Saints of the Shadow Bible. After an 18-year intermission, 90-year-old Elizabeth Jane Howard resumed her saga of the Cazalet family with All Change.
Other reworkings were homages to earlier writers: Joanna Trollope initiated a series of Jane Austen updatings in Sense & Sensibility (see Special Report); William Boyd became the latest in a line of Ian Fleming impersonators in Solo, set in the 1960s and not unexpectedly involving a James Bond mission to Africa; Sebastian Faulks, author of an earlier 007 adventure, switched his gift for pastiche to Sir P.G. Wodehouse in Jeeves and the Wedding Bells; Sophie Hannah, a poet turned thriller writer, agreed to produce the first authorized Agatha Christie sequel.
Whereas senior exponents of literary fiction either worked on future projects or took a holiday in other writers' voices and milieus, British genre fiction (with the exception of erotica, the market for which collapsed just as swiftly as it had boomed in the year following the publication in 2011 of E.L. James's Fifty Shades of Grey) continued to flourish. The crime division, however, gained an unexpected recruit in the year's most appealing news story.
Some weeks after the appearance of The Cuckoo's Calling—a debut detective novel (ostensibly written by military gentleman Robert Galbraith) that had garnered a few reviews and modest sales—a Sunday newspaper revealed that Galbraith was a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling (who in 2012 had used her own name to publish her first novel for adults, The Casual Vacancy, following the end of her blockbuster Harry Potter series). After Rowling's identity was revealed, The Cuckoo's Calling attracted a second wave of reviewers, who were largely impressed by its combination of the contemporary theme of celebrity—the novel's murder victim is a well-known model—with the nostalgic pleasures of an eccentric sleuth and Christie-like plotting.
In children's fiction, two authors enjoyed remarkable success. Writer and illustrator Sally Gardner had received (2012) the Costa Children's Book Award for Maggot Moon, and in 2013 she won the prestigious CILIP Carnegie Medal for that book, the story of a dyslexic imaginative teenager living amid a totalitarian society called the Motherland. Commercially, though, David Walliams remained the dominant British author in the genre. His latest offering, Demon Dentist, replicated the feat of its predecessors in ranking among the overall best sellers in the run-up to Christmas as well as topping the children's list—a level of success made surprising both by his preference for writing freestanding novels rather than volumes in a series (such as those by American children's authors Suzanne Collins and Jeff Kinney) and by the fact that he produced books as a sideline; Walliams was best known for his television work as a comedy writer, performer, and talent-show judge.
Top-flight British novelists discovered during the year not only that a new prize was to be offered in 2014 but also that the eligibility for some awards had been significantly reconfigured. The new Folio Prize for "excellence" in English-language fiction ("open to writers from around the world … regardless of form or genre") was launched in 2013 as a rival to the Man Booker Prize and was expected to announce its first winner in 2014.
The Man Booker organizers, seemingly in response to the guidelines attached to the Folio Prize (though this was firmly denied), announced new rules in the run-up to the 2013 awards. The most radical change was the extension of eligibility (hitherto limited to the U.K., the rest of the Commonwealth, Ireland, and Zimbabwe) to include any writing in English, including from the U.S. This meant that the Women's Fiction Prize (formerly the Orange Prize) was no longer the sole American-friendly major fiction prize. Only the Costa awards retained the traditional English-language element of some degree of protectionism (British or Irish residency was required).
Two Nobel Prize-winning authors died during the year: British author Doris Lessing and Irish poet Seamus Heaney (he was born in Northern Ireland), who was also a recipient of the Whitbread Poetry Award and was twice accorded the Whitbread Book of the Year.

Below is the poem entitled Box of Prayers which was written by poet
Kilmer. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Stephen Kilmer
There's work to do
We must be on our way
Souls to save all are waiting
For my box of prayers
I have a string tied around it
And carry It with a stick
It's a lot easier when you walk
The tracks to have it on a stick
Things get tricky when a train comes
Round the bend and you're carrying it
With both hands
That's why I have a string and a stick
The sinners don't care as long as I
Can read them a prayer from heaven
And receive their souls
To be served up hot to go
To Jesus our Lord
Who runs a BBQ stand
Down on 4th and Eldorado
He lets me stand on his car sometimes
So I can preach the words of Jesus
Or just talk in tongues if I get the notion
I know he is Jesus cause it says so on his
Driver license and he has scars on his hands and feet.
I love him so and he loves my box of prayers
He says that God brought us together
And if he was to have a sister I would be she
Sister of Jesus…now ain't that something?

8 - play about the "hidden" follies in the prop 8 appeal trial
I just enjoyed a play called 8 which was streamed live on YouTube and which will be made available there soon {http://youtu.be/qlUG8F9uVgM has the play starting about 1/2 hour in, but that first half-hour is also worthwhile} if it's not there already. The list of celebrities who participated is incredible: George Clooney and Brad Pitt lead an unreal all-star cast.
The play uses actual court transcripts from a California trial where 2 couples whose marriages would have been illegal if prop 8 was allowed to stand sued the state to have it stricken as unconstitutional. The videos of the actual trial proceedings exist but they have been embargoed from public viewing because the defendants (Mormon church and other backers of prop 8) won some kind of injunction to avoid embarrassment. So a playwrite used the Freedom of Information Act to get the transcripts and distill them into this concise play with a bit of a side story about the plaintiffs. It felt like about an hour and 15 minutes.
Look it's not as entertaining as The Artist, but I think it's very important that we are able to witness what went on. You'll feel historic if you watch it.

One of my favorite colors is green. Pretty much any kind; from those hues walking the line of blue all the way to the ones flirting with yellow. That is why these minty green paper flowers caught my eye. They are fun and fresh with a touch of elegance to them. I got this inspiration from my dear friend Kat, who came up with it as a gift idea.
1. Tape
2. Solid Color Background Paper (I just used the sheet that came in the frame)
3. Frame
4. Paper Flower Stickers
*I got the frame and stickers from Michael's for 3 dollars total.
Step 1:
Using the sheet that comes in the frame (or cut one of a desired color to size), tape the backside (in this case the side that was once facing out with the dimensions) on all four sides.
Step 2:
Lay the now taped paper into the frame with the good side facing the front and the taped side facing the backing. Close the backing on to the paper and then flip it over and make sure your background is smooth and pressed firmly against the backing.
Step 3:
Begin putting your flowers on. Simple as that! I did mine in a 2 x 3 arrangement but it is really whatever you want. You can even alternate colors.

Just meters below the surface a behemoth awaits. The other anxious divers, all new friends and fellow boarders booked on the Sea Safari's eight-day, seven-night liveaboard, float in awe as the largest fish in the sea cuts silently through the water above. The whale shark, the size of a bus, swims effortlessly past leaving a swath of current born of a tail so strong it could kill a man. This is the best of Indonesia. This is Papua's Cenderawasih Bay.
Located on the Bird's Head of Indonesia's easternmost province, Cenderawasih Bay, one of the most coveted dive spots in the world and home to some 600 species of coral, 955 species of fish and one of the only locations in the world that almost guarantees whale sharks all year round.
"It was amazing. I have only seen a whale shark once before, and it was alone," says Sophie Lejeune, a dive instructor based in Bali, out exploring Papua on accrued vacation. "We saw three whale sharks together on the first dive and on the second dive there were two very large whale sharks and a smaller adolescent."
To find these gargantuan filter-feeders of plankton, take an eight-day Sea Safari adventure on a traditional Phinisi boat, a vessel native to South Sulawesi. The ship is powered by a modern motor but is still equipped with beautiful white sails. At the trip's end, the captain raises them up for a unique photo opportunity.
Beginning on the first dive, hard and soft corals appear in a multitude of different shapes and sizes, from vast fields of bright, grassy coral waving with the current, to the small nooks and crannies filled with anemones, which play home to a family of orange and white striped clownfish and the occasional psychedelic-looking Mandarinfish.
And even though divers usually make the five-hour trek from Jakarta to Cenderawasih to bathe in biodiversity, Cenderawasih has sunken man-made treasures as well. Between Sorong and Manokwari lie a handful of sunken World War II relics, castoffs from the US and Japanese fleets, either too old or too beat up to make the long journey home.
On day one, experience "the Junkyard." What were once major players in the Pacific Theater have become aquatic neighborhoods, ancient and overgrown, reclaimed by the sea. Armored crabs now patrol the narrow torpedo tubes, as lionfish stroll like sentries along silt-covered galleys and seahorses scurry down the hulls of patrol boats.
After the tour of the sunken ships, the next day is the descent of a steep, shear slope. Looking down into the magnificent blue abyss, leatherback sea turtles dive and disappear, only to re-emerge throughout the coral branches that grow skyward along the towering slope. Swim with the reef sharks and octopuses of the underwater mountain, and the day after you'll be in the middle of the bay where the bottom is 100 meters below.
Here the whale sharks stay near fishing boats, routinely diving deep before coming back up to inquisitively poke around the boat again. Lejeune's friend, Sarah Meslin, a scuba pro who recently relocated to Bali for work, spelled out one of the reasons tourists travel here to swim with the sharks rather than the Philippines, Kenya or Mexico.
"I have seen whale sharks twice before, but this was so good. In Mexico we could only snorkel with them, and they don't stay in the same spot so we had to swim or go back on the boat to catch up with them," she said.
On day six, in the shallows, a vast coral jungle extends as far as the eye can see. Vivid, flamboyantly colorful nudibranchs, a type of soft-bodied marine mollusk, relax on the coral next to pink pygmy seahorses that are as small as a fingernail. From nearly a kilometer out and finishing at the shoreline, countless fish of a thousand different colors dart back and forth through the forest. Yellow, green, magenta and orange blurs, some every color of the rainbow, an underwater photographer's dream come true.
That evening, a night dive is a scene reminiscent of a moon landing. No light except your flashlight and that of your buddy's, and yet the sea is still abundant with life and movement. Brightly lit fluorescent squid bob up and down in the blackness. Divers must be careful not to get to close to the ocean floor, for blue-spotted stingrays will suddenly awaken, kicking up clouds of sand. Moving through this alien environment is a very strange experience. Everything is tranquil in the quiet and darkness, but one feels a rush of excitement and adrenaline while swimming deeper into the unknown.
During the last two days, one realizes that a week on a boat is far removed from a week at a resort. Sea Safari is for diving fanatics, not the beach bums. With an average of three dives a day, who has time for the beach anyway?
A vacation on the liveaboard means more time among the sponges and crustaceans. Cenderawasih Bay attracts scuba enthusiasts from all over the world, with different levels of diving experience. There is everyone from experts with up to 1,000 dives under their belts to beginners with only 10. And if diving isn't for you, the snorkeling is just as phenomenal. One does not need to go deeper than 10 meters to experience the bay's full potential.
The excitement and adventure offer a unique escape from the sluggishness of city life and the typical Jakarta routine. As the ship glides by the gentle rolling mountains of north Papua and the sun goes down over an endless blue sea, the thought of returning to Jakarta can become almost unbearable.
By far the best way to experience this natural wonder is on one of Sea Safari's liveaboard boats. The boats fit up to 30 passengers, with old-fashioned cabins located in the hull and on the bow. The cool ocean breeze is a welcome sensation, so far removed from the still heat of the city. Sun chairs lie at the uppermost level of the ship, where sunbathers can listlessly soak up the warm equator air. It is a reminder that many of us in the city don't get enough vitamin D.
And not only are the reefs of Cenderawasih Bay picturesque and exciting, they are environmentally very important. The strong currents wash coral larvae throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans, replenishing weak and dying coral around the world. Andy Chan, a professional underwater photographer and PADI master dive instructor from Bali, said "the abundance of marine life and coral here is much better than in parts of western Indonesia."
"The problem," he said, "becomes how to protect the area. The local government has been very good, but if they don't get the money from Jakarta it becomes very difficult. The government in Jakarta is never interested."
Jakarta should be interested, and more Jakartans would be wise to save up and make the journey. Not only is the area protected by the local government from overfishing and pollution, it is also one of the world's few designated shark sanctuaries. And as sustainability becomes an ever-increasing goal for a healthy Indonesian economy, the viability of sustainable ecotourism will be even more important in the future.
Cenderawasih Bay is a great example of ecotourism done right. Sadly, though, it is also a rare one. Coastal regions are often the first to feel the negative effects of irresponsible tourist activities, and more regulation is required to keep the majority of Indonesia's coastal communities healthy and thriving. Cenderawasih has become a great example of how ecotourism should be managed, with deep commitment and initiative from the community and promises kept and a respected rule of law enforced by the local government.
"It's a good example of how the mind-set of a community, not just investment and infrastructure, is the best vehicle for ecological preservation," says Riyanni Djankarou, editor in chief of Divemag Indonesia. "You can build an airport and a road, but the mind-set is what is key. Everyone here is connected, from the government to NGOs to the local people."

A new spin on my Super Star Toast, and something I am going to call – Fat Sandwich, Thin Bagel. Remember my posts from way back where I created my version of Super Star Toast I and Super Star Toast II, well today I wanted to create something similar with a whole new product.
I myself am a big fan of bagels but tend not too eat them that much due to the heaviness and extra calories. Now you can get thin bagels with 100 calories per bagel so it is very comparable to a slice of bread.
I had a few ideas in my mind as to how I wanted to kick this bagel up and make it a fat sandwich to play on the words thin bagel. The end result was a combination of high quality breakfast ingredients all packed into one sandwich. Here is the lowdown.
- One Dempsters Thin Multi grain Bagel (toasted)
- Almond Butter
- Nutella
- Drizzle of Honey
- Banana (sliced)
- Sprinkle of Flax seed
- Dash of dry plain oatmeal
- Unsweetened coconut
- Toast the bagel, and start adding the toppings.
- Spread both sides with a little almond butter, follow up with Nutella and sliced banana.
- The add a drizzle of honey to act as glue for the flax, coconut and oatmeal.
- Put the two halves together and smile with excitement
Zesty Tip: Be careful putting both sides together and possibly wear a bib – it could get messy. But oh my – this was delicious.
You need to try this. The picture I had with the two sides put together was not great as I was in a rush and the bus was almost coming for zesty Junior. Trust me though… I ate three of these in a row… they were that good! I am going to be doing a giveaway soon for some free Dempsters coupons so be sure to check back. What I really love about these bagels are how crunchy they get in the toaster. I added a little bit of nutritional information below so be sure to check them out.
Have a great Friday and have a great weekend.
Take care

After eleven nauseating hours on an airplane and eighteen hours of catch-up and recuperating sleep, I'm back.
A Gift Held, Passed By, Sat With
25. +30 second hugs mean something. Thanks, Grandma.
26. Washington, D.C. is not known to be the friendliest of places, but the man at Dulles International Airport who helped this single mom of two little ones grab all her bags and then usher them to the passenger pick-up area accepting only a heartfelt, "Thank you." is definitely a gift for all of us to see.
27. The person sitting next to me from HNL to DFW (eight hours of suppressing vomit) was the kindest even when we disagreed on pretty much everything under the sun. He was also kind enough to make sure that whenever turbulence occurred that I wasn't puking, or near puking, and I'm sure he would have held back my hair if it came to it. Thanks. Thank you for letting me sleep.
A Gift Sour, Sweet, Just Right
28. I like limes. Haven't had any recently but they are a delight!
29. Mint chocolate chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Oh my GOODNESS!
30. Guacamole. You can't go wrong with guacamole.
3 Yellow Gifts of Fresh Mercy
31. A Dallas Sunrise
32. Sometimes even dried up bits are just enough.
33. I'm having a hard time with yellow because seeing it makes me anxious… New, clean yellow shirts?
Something Above, Below, Beside
34. A clean, short, and cozy haircut and no grays! Yay for being in my early twenties!
35. Socks. Toe socks to be exact.
36. Hand-licking love from a maltie-poo.

Let's not let Liam Neeson get wind of this, or else he is going to be super jealous. Apparently Mike Tyson says he would have worked with Mel Gibson "100%" on The Hangover 2, probably because he knows he has the upper body-strength needed to deal with Gibson on a daily basis. Zach Galifianakis? Not so much.
Says Tyson, "I'm not going to ever in my life point my finger at anyone. I don't live in a glass house. None of us do." Well, while it's true most of us don't live in glass houses, we've also never threatened to bury anyone in the rose garden outside of our actual houses. Soooooooo, it's apples to oranges really.
Continued Tyson, "I work with anybody, as long as they're respectful." See, there's the problem. From all reports, Gibson actually forgot what the word 'respectful' meant in order to make room in his brain for more racial epithets. It's just science!
Some, reportedly even Gibson himself, criticized The Hangover director Todd Phillips for casting Tyson, a former drug-user and convicted rapist, but not Mel, who is also terrible. Didn't their mamas ever tell them that two wrongs don't make a right? Just because you have one criminal-level misogynist in a film doesn't mean you have to pack the cast with them. On the other hand, we've already started composing the theme song to The Mel And Mike Movie: Escape From Crazytown. [Photos: Getty Images/]

Middletown, RI
""This impressive smock–style, four–vaned windmill was built in 1812 and used in Warren, RI in connection with a distillery. It has an unusual feature—two sets of grinding stones whose doubled capacity could be lucrative for its owner. Not surprisingly then, it was moved two more times to Portsmouth, Rhode Island by millers who acquired it, first by Robert Sherman to Quaker Hill (East Main Road), then to Lehigh Hill (West Main Road). It became idle in the early 20th century and remained so, in ever deteriorating condition, until the NRF acquired it in 1969 and moved it to Prescott Farm. The mill was restored by the NRF in 1971, with additional work done in the 1980s and a new shaft installed in 1998.""

While I personally stopped paying attention to unicorns when Trapper Keepers went out of style, apparently they're still a "thing," especially with the younger market. You young 'uns, always keeping the unicorn union in business! Why don't you just let us harvest them for their magical horns which can be ground up and sprinkled on our Starbucks lattes?
Ahem. Sorry. In any event, one such instance of ultra-cuteness is enough; two is completely unnecessary and unhealthy for the well-being of our universe. So today you must decide which game's unicorns will rule as lord supreme over the hearts of tweens everywhere, and which will be sold to the salt mines to haul loads while crying rainbow tears. Vote! And let it forever be on your conscience!
[The unicorn on the left is from Wizard101; the one on the right is from Free Realms.]

Monday Memories: Monks En Masse in Bangkok Thailand
When there are 12,600 Buddhist monks from southern Thailand in one street of Bangkok at once, where, as a photographer, do you start trying to document the mass alms-giving that was Visakha Bucha Day?
Wide shot, mid shot, close-up. That's what I was taught when studying filmmaking at university. And I think it holds true for photographically covering events as well. The problem can be trying to cover all three types of shots at once, which is why you'll sometimes see professional photographers with two or three cameras slung around their necks.
If you look at the original post we wrote about Visakha Bucha Day, you'll see two wide shots and a close-up, however, I made so many photographs that morning that there are several others in my 'finals' folder and this picture above is one of them.
I like the serene look on the first monk's face, and the juxtaposition of the other two monks in the background, and the different expressions on their faces. The symmetry of the photo also appeals to me – but I'm always drawn back to the first monk's face, and the sense of composure and contentment communicated through his eyes and his smile.
Details: Nikon D700, 85mm F1.4 @ F2.8 @ 1/1600th second @ ISO800.

Really nice photo! I love those monks, especially those still children. They smile a lot

Sabour Bradley travelled all the way from Australia to Afghanistan to follow his heart, but that didn't work out as he had hoped.
Broken hearted and stranded in a war zone, he was approached by two TV producers who asked him if he would consider doing a travel show about the country. But not just any travel show. They wanted a program that would reveal a different side of the war-torn country. So he jumped at the chance. Setting out in Kabul, he works up the nerve to audition for Afghan Idol – the country's most popular and controversial television program. He then learns how to race fighting pigeons, takes on one of Afghan's fiercest kite fighters and visits the last Jew living in the city.

As Alana noted earlier today, the Obama campaign went into overdrive to condemn a conservative super PAC for considering running an ad campaign that would concentrate on linking President Obama to his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Liberal pundits are also doing their best to muster up outrage about the mere possibility that Wright's name should be uttered in connection with the president. At TIME Magazine, Joe Klein refers to the planned ads as "really, really ugly." At the New York Times, Andrew Rosenthal, calls it "race baiting."
Both are right to call it bad politics. It is a foolish waste of resources that could be better used to remind voters of what a lousy president they've had for the last four years. Republicans need to cast the election as a referendum on Obama's job performance. Personal attacks against Romney are going to be part of the president's re-election effort. Copying that sort of thing is an unforced error on the part of conservatives. But pardon me if I find the faux outrage these writers are trying to gin up about the mention of Wright is utterly unconvincing.
Klein has a point when he says the president's behavior in office shows us he's not a particularly religious man or much of a churchgoer, so it can be credibly argued that Wright wasn't much of an influence on him. But although some on the fringes may have seen the Wright connection as an indication that Obama hated America as much as his pastor or a genuine radical, the point about his ties to the reverend was much simpler and far more telling.
Anyone who voluntarily affiliates with an institution for 20 years that was primarily a vehicle for a person like Wright is making a statement about his view of the world. It's the sort of association that would and should embarrass any politician, and the effort made by Obama's defenders to treat the mention of Wright as out of bounds or untouchable because of race is utterly disingenuous. Were any conservative politician to be a longtime member of a church that employed a leader who said as many ugly things as Wright did, they would be crucified for it.
The fact is, Americans knew about this and the majority voted for Obama anyway for a variety of reasons. Bringing it up again is dumb, but the effort to brand it as a form of hate speech is risible.
One more point: Rosenthal makes a point of mentioning that the memo about the ad campaign speaks of defeating "Barack Hussein Obama."
Note the use of the president's middle name. Nudge, nudge. Think of Saddam Hussein. Nudge, nudge. He must be a Muslim.
Barack Hussein Obama is clearly not a member of a mosque and is, as the Wright episode teaches us, an affiliated Christian. But while saying his name in this manner was treated as offensive during the 2008 campaign — and one that John McCain specifically rejected — apparently Rosenthal must have nodded off during the presidential inauguration ceremony in January 2009. The moment the president took the oath as "Barack Hussein Obama," saying his full name ceased to be a political slur.
Where Klein and Rosenthal both are also wrong is their belief this has any political leverage for either side. Talking about Wright won't convince anyone to defeat the president now. But the assumption that the Democrats' lethargic base will be fired up by this also doesn't hold water. Americans voted for Obama in 2008 in spite of his questionable connections, not because of them.

Wes and Robert, im from chile, and let me recommend you Alto del Carmen, if you find it at black or white boxes, if you want to try it on the rocks, and for coctails, the other kinds of alto del carmen. Capel isn't good so don't event buy it. Now for the lemmon/lime issue, at least here there are limes which aren't sour at all, and lemmons. For the lemmons you can find the "limon sutil" which is the green one, and the regular lemmon which are yellow like limes. if you want to, google for "Limon Sutil" ( sutil lemmon ) and you should find the green ones. hope you to understand me hehe, bye bye

The travel agent who sold tickets for the Titanic
The grandson of a Kent-based travel agent who sold tickets for the Titanic has told how his grandfather helped those affected by the sinking of the ill-fated liner.
Hedley Peters, who ran his business in Sittingbourne sold two tickets – one £13 second-class ticket to a Miss Buss, and an £8 1s third class ticket to labourer Mr Rouse.
According to Kentonline, Buss had been travelling alone for her marriage to Samuel Willis in San Diego, California.
Fifty-year-old Rouse however had been hoping to find work in Cleveland.
His wife, Chariy, and eight-year-old daughter remained at home, but had hoped to join him later.
Hedley Peters' grandson Michael Peters said: "Most people didn't own their own homes then. Some bought their own tickets but for those who couldn't afford it he would sell their furniture to cover the cost of their ticket."
Buss was one of the 705 who survived the sinking of the Titanic, after escaping on Lifeboat nine.
However Rouse, whose wife is said to have tried to talk him out of travelling on the Titanic, died in the disaster.
His wife reportedly collapsed upon hearing the news of his death. His body was never recovered.
After Hedley Peters heard the news, he set up a benevolent fund for Mrs Rouse and her daughter.
"I am very proud of him for doing that," his grandson Michael said. "My grandfather was the national chairman of the fire brigade's widows and orphans benevolent fund, hence starting a fund to collect for the Rouse family came naturally to him."
The sum collected was never made public.

Recent Military Vets did volunteer to serve. Nobody forced them to fight. As far as job placement goes, I think if one guy is a Vet, and another guy isn't, and they have equal credentials; I'm hiring the Veteran. But I wouldn't go out of my way to hire a veteran over a better qualified applicant. I want the best person for the job regardless of their military experience.
Ally bank is the best. 24 hour banking... 1% interest on all deposits. Deposit checks from you own home at your own leisure. They waive most ATM fees... Better hours than first merit and Key, better return on assets, and more locations!!!
Housing prices in Cuyahoga County down 5% in a year... Your house is decreasing in value but more people are buying... Market is still not in equilbrium. Housing prices will continue to decrease until the numbers of people selling equals the number of actually buying
Oh yeah, housing is booming alright wall street. I can still buy a house for the price of a vcr in Cleveland....
There's 1.4 million that could be cut from the federal budget... But the liberals would never allow it...
15,000 more unemployed... Hope and Chanage!!!
Cleveland became an actual city because of John D. Rockefeller and standard oil. Do not underestimate the impact this will have. I'm no academic economist, but rest assured this will create many jobs...
I think the 200,000 sounds about right. Look at how Houston developed into a major metro area with its oil and natural gas boom.
Does this mean that women are equals "cough" "cough" in the workplace and cannot file for gender discrimination anymore. Will the fembots stop complaining about how men make more money? Men are more likely to start their own company, men also get payed more in professional sports because of the demand for professional sports. Men are more likely to negotiate a salary with an employer... When women stop attending men's professional sports, start their own fortune 500 company, and grow some balls and negotiate a salary pay will be equal....
I agree with fester though on having the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Taxes are high in the US. Here in Ohio we pay sales, income on three levels (Federal, State, and CCA), real estate, and on gasonline... I estimated that 50-80% of everything we pay is tax... Companies are forced to raise prices in order to pay for all the indirect taxes we pay. Rents are higher because of taxes...
Job growth comes from startups and small business, not big corporations. All corporations do is outsource to china and layoff. Time to start a new model of growth, and end corporate welfare. The bailouts were wrong... Both Obama and Bush are catering to corporations for what??? What do the taxpayers get in return... Bailin out the Auto's, and Banks... Keepin Freddie and Fannie afloat.
So uh, factories aren't manufacturing as much, and service firms are not growing, the public sector is shrinking... Yet unemployment dipped .5% in the last 2 months. Inflation is low, and food and gas is not more expensive than it used to be. Why should I even believe anything the government says? Americans are getting screwed as our money is slowly becoming worthless. That Ian Anderson guy is a hopeless chap, "it certainly is not consistent." Get a clue. We're all getting hosed. On a brighter note, the stock market is up!
kasich, offer CME group a 24 million dollar tax incentive to move to cleveland... That could actually save the city!!!
There is one advantage though, with housing cheaper, housing is very affordable.
Home prices continue to plummet, GOP does not comment.
Pretty dumb comment Coleslaw, markets are shifting towards equilibrium and the housing market is returning to normal. Unfortunately, that new normal is with housing prices 20%-50% below their previous high.
yea goodyear's headquarters is still in akron, but they don't manufacture anything in akron... Is it really worth millions in tax breaks to save a couple hundred jobs? What if goodyear goes bankrupt and then there are no jobs... Just sayin that I don't agree with agree with corporate welfare...
As a CSU graduate student, I am probably not going to finish my degree because of the expensive tuition. I'm just trying to get enough credits to take the CPA exam and then bail on the university. CSU accounting program is sad. There are not enough jobs/internships for students... Also, from what I understand, the CPA is more important than a master's degree to employers. On a brighter note, I don't have any debt to pay after I graduate...
Thanks Rich!!! Great Statistic and Great Article!!!
Average 9 month Compensation of Full Time Faculty- Salary + Health Care + Retirement
Kent 98,527
Akron- 96,996

Another idea, cut athletics across the board. You tell me how having the tax payers/students funding a golf team and a swimming team helps a university with its research goals... How about building empty football stadiums in Kent and Akron? Do we really need to be paying head coaches millions of dollars. 'OSU is an exception, their athletic department is self sustaining.... Where are your priorities?
