The restaurant is was very crowded with young people ages 20-30's. The tabless are small with hard wooden chairs. I immediately ripped my nylons on the rough wood. I ordered a pasta with veal. you could tell it was microwaved because the top of the pasta was warm and the bottom was very cold. Our dessert was a scoop of strawberries with some whip cream on top and the chocolate cake tasted like a mix. We had a table of 8 and no one finished their food and it was not because anyone overly enjoyed it!

Just got back from brunch at Uva, and I'll say this: it's a wine bar. Nothing more, nothing less.
Posted by Ross on 04/03/2011
So let me tell you about UVA... Not only is it our favorite restaurant in all of Manhattan, it also happens to be my new favorite spot for private birthday parties as well. Last night, I threw a surprise party for my wife. We had 28 people, they allowed me to personalize the menu, the food was beyond incredible and the service happened to be exceptional!!! They allowed me to personalize the menu and next, I will come to the food: Eggplant, chicken, salmon, shrimp or whole wheat pasta? Can't decide? Every single item on this menu is absolutely the best my wife and I have ever tasted. And we have eaten at some of the best Italian restaurants in Rome and I will still take UVA over any of those places! Let's talk wine. For my money, I think it is almost impossible to beat whatever the house wine is that night. You can't go wrong with whatever they choose off the extensive wine list. Let's talk service: Our server managed to remember 28 orders, never keep us waiting, and always made everyone feel like they were in fact, the one who was celebrating a birthday. Her attention to detail was second to none: every time my glass of water or wine was even close to being empty, there was Catherine, pouring away. And everyone else said the same thing. The owner, also happens to be one of the nicest guys and it's the first time I have ever seen a restaurant owner actually walk around and ensure that his guests are enjoying their meals and be willing to listen and actually care about their comments and overall dining experience. I do not have a bad thing to say about this place. I will give you one tip: in terms of appetizers, do yourself a favor and order the eggplant rolletini (did I spell that right?) Thank you everyone at UVA for helping to make my wife's surprise party an overwhelming success!!!!! We will be seeing you very soon!

Wonderful, Incredible, Amazing. The food is so tasty and the atmosphere is adorable. It's not just me that feels that way. There have also been many times others have asked if I've ever eaten at UVA when others find out where I live. Most tasty items are the Gnocchi Ricotta, Veal Pappardelle, Eggplant Parmesan. Only one problem: They need delivery! Otherwise you must check this place out!
Posted by Meg L on 03/03/2011
I've been here several times and I absolutely love it! My boyfriend and I still talk about the black truffle gnocchi we got there last year! So delicious and a perfect date place. The back patio is adorable and romantic. I would highly recommend Uva!

This place has an awesome atmosphere and the food is great! The pasta is sooo good! (And it is all young people - it does not feel like a nursing home) My husband and I go here often and it is always great!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/25/2011
I have been here three times and just can't bring myself to go back. The service keeps ruining the experience and the food doesn't make up for it. There is one dish I really like, the veal pappardelle. When I think about it ahead of time, I call ahead and pick it up since they don't deliver.

Best Pawnshop St. Louis 2005 - First Cash
3608 N. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63107
Far too many pawnshops amount to little more than really terrible places to buy an engagement ring. First Cash, on the other hand, is a great place to do some casual shopping. A national chain with three St. Louis locations, First Cash's most popular (and best) store is its North Grand outlet. At times the line of customers is literally out the door, with folks queueing up for two-for-one television sets, mountain bikes, guitars, amps and, of course, bling. First Cash also stocks surprisingly high-quality DVDs for three bucks a pop. (We recently scored a Stripes, Last Waltz and Saved! trifecta.) But back to the window-shopping factor (actually, strike that -- the windows have bars over them): We never cease to be transfixed by the random assortment of industrial items, from air compressors to power tools to floor waxers. For four little C-notes, your floor can be the buffest on the block! With bargains like that, who needs eBay?

Temporarily, Lakum Duckum is missing a central component – the water. Landscape supervisor Bob Biles '74 reports that the water has been drained to clean it out and clear out the algae. Here's the full scoop from Biles:
"There are two primary types of plants that have hit a propagation threshold and have rapidly begun to multiply: string algae and duck weed. That growth mixed with such organic matter as leaves, duck feces, dirt and pollen has resulted in the lake becoming a 'living stew' of assorted creatures. The six to 12 inches of muck on the bottom is home all sorts of anaerobic bacteria, which is brewing up some methane gas. If left alone for 10 million years or so, the muck either becomes oil or coal. Who would have thought all of this going on in Lakum Dukum?
"So, we have drained the pond. We removed the six koi/carp and relocated them to the lower pond behind Hunter, and we placed ramps so the little ducks can get out. After the area dries out for a week or so we will scrape all of the 'goo' out of the pond basin and haul it to a nearby organic farm. There it will be mixed with some other organic matter and turned into some very nutrient rich compost, which will be used to grow vegetables.
"We are going to experiment with some pond aeration components, which are designed to supply the lake with more oxygen. This will create a more favorable habitat for aerobic bacteria that should help consume much of the organic matter as it begins to build up, hopefully keeping the water clear and clean.
"In the near future Lakum Duckum again will be a good home for many kinds of creatures, like frogs, turtles, crawdads and, of course, the ducks. It is going to look and smell bad for the next week or so – the pond was last cleaned out 17 years ago this month. At that time, the landscaping was overhauled, and it is when the waterfall and large rocks were placed."
Biles says the clean-up project is expected to be completed by next week.
Also – the construction on the east side of Mem will result in an enclosure for the aesthetically challenged transformer box as well as for trash, which currently is kept for pick-up under the Mem stairs. The enclosure will feature a brick façade that will replicate the look of Mem.
Last week, Whitman played host to the annual conference of the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges (CLAC), an organization composed of many of the nation's top liberal arts colleges. Its mission is to explore and promote the use of information technology in the service of liberal arts education. Conference attendees included primarily IT professionals but also library staff, faculty and administrators. This year's theme was "Fermenting Grape Ideas: Transforming Learning in the Liberal Arts."
"The name plays off of the robust viticultural influence here in the Walla Walla Valley," says David Sprunger '96, director of instructional and learning technology. "WCTS was excited to host this year's conference and get together with our colleagues in an environment where we could work together to 'ferment' great ideas."
A number of Whitman staff members presented at the conference or served as moderators, and many more were involved in the planning process. Sprunger especially thanks Lisa Perfetti, Don Terrio, Joelle Chavre, Mike Osterman '96, Ronelle Partlow, Rich Hinz, Michael Quiner, student designer Kaity Curry '14, all WCTS staff, Bon Appétit, the conferences and events staff, and "anyone else who contributed to making the conference a great success."

Paul Apostolidis, T. Paul Chair of Political Science and director of the State of the State of Washington Latinos, has written an opinion piece for The Seattle Times, published June 30. Titled "Closing the wide gap between Latino population and representation in much of Washington," the piece proposes that "Washington is doing a dismal job of electing Latinos that represent their rapidly growing populations… We can, and should, enact state voting reforms to change that. Apostolidis credits former students Zach Duffy, and Seth Dawson, Ian Warner and Nick Dollar for conducting the research that made this guest op-ed possible. Read the full piece HERE.
Barry Balof, associate professor of mathematics, recently presented at the 15th International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications in Eger, Hungary. About 100 experts from 20 countries attended the conference. Balof's talk was titled "Restricted Tilings, Coordination Sequences, and Bijections," and it involved analyzing different types of combinatorial objects that are counted by the same formula and looking for links between the objects that explain why they have the same formula. The talk also involved some elements from geology. "While the conference was mostly mathematicians, there were also musicians and artists giving talks, so it was quite the 'liberal arts' setting," he reports.
Aaron Bobrow-Strain, associate professor of politics, reports that his latest book, "White Bread," has been reviewed by The Atlantic (July/August 2012) and The New York Times, (June 29, 2012).

Airbus Military has continued its flight test programme to prove the A400M's ability to undergo inflight refuelling, with a new series of proximity trials having been performed behind a C160 Transall.
The French air force tanker did not pass fuel during the tests, which involved an A400M making 20 "dry" contacts with its trailing hose and drogue. One of the connections was sustained for 12min, which Airbus Military says is "representative of a normal refuelling operation" for a large aircraft.
An image of the combination supplied by France's Cazaux flight test centre identifies the A400M involved as F-WWMT, or development aircraft "Grizzly 1".
Flight-test activities involving the Transall will resume early next year, and will for the first time include the aircraft's delivery of fuel to an A400M, the company says.
The A400M Atlas will replace the Transall in French air force service, with Paris due to receive its first of 50 examples during the second quarter of 2013.
An earlier series of dry contacts was made behind a Royal Air Force Vickers VC10 tanker; a type which is due to be retired from operational service by 31 March 2013.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Mary Smallwood
"This is a recipe handed down from my grandmother to my father. It's a very unique creamy white-sauce goulash that takes about 20 minutes to make. A real winner with kids. My family's favorite!!! Give it a try. Lemme know how you like it."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package
elbow macaroni
1 pound
ground beef
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
2 (10.75 ounce) cans
condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup
milk, or as needed
I make a variation of this all of the time! I do, however, do a few things different: - I use about a cup of milk, instead of cream cheese - I add at least 2 cups of sliced fresh mushrooms (cooked with the ground beef) - I use plenty of seasonings while cooking the beef ( garlic powder, seasoning salt, a little rosemary, black pepper - all to taste) - and I use several different types of pasta. Sometimes I use spaghetti, sometimes penne, scoobidoos, rotini, etc - depending on what we feel like. They are all wonderful. This is one of our family favorites!
This is a bland recipe. While I'm not the best cook in the world, I'm decent... but I could not rescue this. If someone else has a good suggestion for how to improve this thing, PLEASE share. Even after adding onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter, along with Worcestershire sauce, rosemary/Italian seasoning, salt/pepper... it was not worth the effort. To quote my spouse, "It's not horrible... it's just kinda there." And my favorite review of all comes from my six-year-old son: "This is the boringest thing I've ever eaten."

The dish was fantastic and I will make again for sure. Not trying to be rude, but the dish can only be bland if its not seasoned properly.
This was really an easy dish for a quick dinner. It was easy on the pocketbook to shop for too. I added S/P and some finely chopped onion which only made is more yummy. This is the kind of dish that will stick to your ribs. It is good served with a fresh salad or fruit.
When the kids are 'starving', and you have maybe 10-15 minutes to get the food on the table before they riot; THIS is the recipe for you! serve with any kind of fruit and/or vegetable salad. I add a half bag of frozen mixed veggies, but do what ever you must do to make it your own. Thanks, Lilgirl, for reminding us that simple is best.
I followed the other suggestions and added onion and mushrooms. Browned them in a couple tsps of butter. Added a can of cream of mushroom w/a can of milk and cream cheese. I ended up using some frozen meatballs I had in the freezer and added some worshershier sauce. This is a keeper but I don't think it would have been good w/o the onion & mushrooms.
Addition of the seasonings suggested for flavoring make it delicious (seasoned salt, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper). I add crushed garlic clove instead of garlic powder. To make this even a quicker meal, I ended up using a 16 oz. box of quick cooking pasta that cooks in 3 minutes if you are in a real pinch for time and it is still delicious. I usually use whole wheat pasta for a healthier meal for your family and it's still delicious. If your family loves mushrooms you've got to add it to the recipe, makes it even better!
We tried this last night and I was surprised by how well it was received by all my guys. I did make some changes though. I added minced yellow onion, green pepper, mushrooms and lots of garlic powder while the beef was browning. I only added one can of soup but almost 2 cups of milk because I added the uncooked pasta to the pan and needed the additional liquid for it to cook properly. I also added oregano, thyme, salt and pepper to the final 10 min. I think it would have been too bland for us without these additions but overall a very easy and tasty recipe. Thanks for posting!

John Richardson Player Journal
Throughout the 2004 season, John Richardson, a sophomore on the University of Kentucky cross country team, will record a player journal. The entries will appear below.
October: 4 | 11 | 19 | 25
November: 1 | 8
November 8, 2004
This past weekend Georganne (Way) and I hosted recruits. I genuinely enjoy hosting. Hosting responsibilities do cut into my free time but for the most part it is fun. I like it here at UK and I enjoy telling people why. This school as so much to offer and is easy to talk about. I hope that the recruits decide to join my teammates and I at UK.
With the possibility of only one race left in the season, there sometimes comes added pressure. Sure the stakes are higher than in the previous races, but that doesn�t mean that it is going to take any more of an effort to do well. Just like at the SEC meet, all we can hope for is our best effort. Regionals, just like every other race, is a race against our potential. We are inexperienced, and six of the seven us have never raced a 10 K, but that is no reason to give up prematurely. This is the first of a couple South Eastern Regional races for our team. Even if we do not qualify for nationals this year, we will gain experience and hopefully qualify next year, starting a streak of consecutive trips to the NCAA meet that we hope will continue long past our careers at UK.
November 1, 2004
The night before a big race we usually have a team meeting. Our team meeting this weekend was held in Coach Weber�s hotel room. During this meeting Coach Weber gave the best definition of cross country I have ever heard. I have probably heard him say this before but, it hit home on this particular night. He explained that cross country is a race of you versus your potential. In a sense you are racing against how good you can be, the other competitors in the race are there to help pull you along. I went to bed that night eager to race the next day.
Before the race on Saturday Andrew and I said something to the guys in our pre race huddle. We said that there was no reason to be afraid. Afraid to hurt or afraid to fail, we were in a low-pressure situation. I sensed some of the guys were nervous but that was to be expected, it was the SEC Championships. We had been working hard the last two weeks and practices had going great. I had a good feeling the guys were going to do well. Andre had another great race, as did �Thrillisor�. No one had a bad race, which was great and I think everyone knows that there is always room for improvement. Thomas Morgan told me last year that you can be happy with your race, but to never be content.
I was pleased with my effort in the race. I went out more conservatively than I had in the past few races and was able to finish very strong. I think I passed about 20 guys in the last two miles. Also, I was a lot less nervous this race. I credit Coach Weber for my relaxed attitude. Focusing on myself, and my struggle against my potential allowed me to focus on what I needed to be doing and not on what place I was in or how far back from the leader I was. I am going to apply this approach in my future races. Also, I�ve realized that in a race it doesn�t take any more than what you give in practice to do well. In fact, a lot of times practices can be harder than the actual race.
Now that SEC�s are behind us we have one meet left. Regionals is in two weeks, plenty of time to get some more hard work in. For everyone but me this will be the first regional meet of their career, and their first 10 K. I know we will be nervous but with the support we have, and the hard work we have put in, I know it will be another great weekend for the wildcats
October 25, 2004
Though I still put pressure on myself to do well, my views have changed a little. I now am putting pressure on myself to compete to the best of my abilities, to challenge myself against my self-doubt. Before I was trying too hard to make a big splash that I lost focus of how to do it. In a sense I was running with out a purpose, nothing was really driving me except goals that may have been unattainable or farfetched. Running to the best of my ability and giving it everything I have will undoubtedly lead to a finish I probably never would have expected or dreamed of.
We leave on Thursday for Fayetteville. As we a team we have not really talked about a goal for the weekend. But, as young as we are, we know this will not be our last SEC championship race. We hope to challenge ourselves and get the most out of this awesome experience. The SEC is one of, if not the best, athletic conference in the country. We are going to be facing some of the top runners in the nation, but we will hold our own. I am confident that everyone racing this weekend will perform to the best of their abilities, and as the quote on Coach Weber�s desk says, �If a man does his best, what else is there?� Wish us luck.
October 19, 2004
The race may have been the main event of the weekend but unfortunately it may have been overshadowed by an unlucky turn of events. The following is a play by play of what happened on Sunday, our expected day of return to Kentucky:
4:45 am: The team, sleep walks to the vans, and departs to State College Airport for our 6:00am flight to Cincinnati.
5:50-6:05am: We board the plane and anxiously await our departure back home. State College was nice and all, but we wanted out of there. At 6:05 our Captain told us that the machine that de-ices the wings was not working and that it would be at least 30 minutes before we were able to leave the airport. Upon hearing the news of the broken de-icer Andre replied, �Andre is not riding on this plan.� (State College Airport is not very big.)
6:20am: We move our bags to the main section of the airport, and stake claim to a fine piece of State College Airport real estate. Many of my teammates lay on the floor hoping to fall asleep, while Jonathan Thomas, Chris Millisor, Andrew Thompson and I play wall ball in part of the terminal. The game suspends indefinitely after a sleeping Beth Heimann is hit in the face with the ball.
7:00am: We are told that it could be anywhere from a couple hours to three days before we can get off the ground. Most of us laugh of the thought of being there any more than a few hours. It�s an airport there has to be more plans. Andrew and I went for a walk out to some field across the street. Pennsylvania is a pretty in the fall.
8:30: Millisor and I have a paper airplane-throwing contest. I won. The self-proclaimed �thrillisor� claims he knows how to make some secret blunt nosed circular disc that his grandpa taught him but the blue prints seem to escape his memory.
9:00am: Three hours past our expected departure time and still no real idea of what is going to happen next, we are given five-dollar compensation passes from Delta to use for breakfast. Let me tell you, five dollars goes a long way in an airport.
9:30-11:00am: What happens during these hours is a little unclear to me. I was really tired and a bit disoriented. I think Millisor remember the top-secret plans but the disc didn�t work. Also, I ate a cookie and got a cookie smoothie. Neither was very good. A bunch of people slept. Amber, the sweet media relation�s girl that accompanies us on our trips, was working out the best deal for our return departure. She really went above and beyond her call of duty during the whole ordeal. If it weren�t for her we may never have left the clutches of that airport.
11:15am: We are finally told of our fate. We are spending another night in Pennsylvania, and taking a 7:50 flight to Philly tomorrow morning. Great, we can finally leave the airport.
12:15pm: We are still in the airport.
12:30pm: We leave the airport for our hotel.
I�ll sum up what happened the rest of the trip. We went running and nearly stepped on a snake. Couldn�t eat at Olive Garden. Ran up the bill at Outback. Nearly puked from over eating gluttony. Woke up at 5:30. Sat in a plane on the ground for two hours in Philadelphia. And arrived late into Lexington.
Even though nothing really went perfect on this trip I had a great time with my teammates. It was a trip that I will always remember. Over the years I will probably forget that I ran 26:50 in the race or that I was 67th place. But I don�t think I will ever forget the extra 30 hours I spent with my teammates in State College PA.
October 11, 2004
On Tuesday we did a workout that I had never done before. It was somewhat like a fartlek, but a little different. It started with a 2-3 mile warm up to the wooded loop (the place where we do most of our cross country workouts) then, without stopping, we proceeded into a mile at race pace. After the mile we went right into a mile at steady run pace. The rest of the workout went, 1200 / mile steady, 800 / mile steady, and finally a 400. I really liked this workout. It was nice to finally do something at a very fast pace and I also think it was very beneficial. The mile steady runs definitely simulated a cross country race. I badly wanted to slow down and recover but pushed myself that so by the 400 I was pretty spent. I had to practice early and do the workout by myself due to STA 291 test, but was told by the other guys that they had good workouts as well.
I have come to the conclusion that college Saturdays will probably be the greatest days of my life. Nothing is greater than getting back from practice on a Saturday morning turning on College Game Day and eating cereal, all the while knowing that you have nothing to do for the rest of the day. Saturdays in the fall consist of football, food, and a lot of fun. We had a home game this weekend. Home games are always fun and I am very impressed by many UK fans devotion to a team that breaks the hearts of fans like its going out of style. As we went out for our morning run on Saturday there were people already tailgating, hamburgers in hand at nine in the morning. Alabama beat us but the loss didn�t keep me from having a great weekend.
We have a race coming up on this Saturday at Penn State. I am very excited and confident that the team and I will perform at a very high level. Everything has been going great lately and I know we are all very eager to show off our hard work. It will be our first 8K race of the year, but I do not think it will affect us negatively. We have put in the necessary work to be able to handle that distance and our coaches have prepared us well. Wish us luck!
October 4, 2004
Most of the best things in life are relatively simple. By simple I mean inexpensive, easy, and low key. For example hanging out with friends is way more enjoyable than buying a new CD or DVD. I think that is why I enjoy running so much. Running is probably one of the simplest things in my life. If I could, I would be a running bum. In a quest to keep my life simple I�ve decided to give up material possessions for an entire year. The things I really want; happiness, a successful running career, and an education are all more important to me than any material object could ever be. I think if I focus on those things I�ll be a much happier person and a much better runner.
It is easy to fall into a rut when training. A few bad days in a row can mean the end of a season. The last couple of weeks haven�t gone quite as well as I had hoped they would. It would be very easy for me to fold my cards and simply go through the motions for the rest of the season. In fact, there were probably a few runs over the last week that I did just give up. Fortunately I was able to notice this, and have done a few things to stop it. I have identified my goals for this season and for the track seasons, and as I said before I�ve decided to simplify my life and focus on what really makes me happy.
The team is really coming together lately. We have formed a really tight bond and our training has improved because of it. It is much easier to get motivated knowing that seven of your teammates and friends are just as excited about running as you are. We do not race again until October 16th, two weeks away. But like I said time flies by. For the next two weeks I need to stay focused, keep it simple, and enjoy college life. I�ll be graduating before I even realize I left high school.

We woke up early Saturday morning to do our morning shake out walk/jog. At 8:30, right when I woke up, I turned on ESPN 2 to find that the UK game was on TV. It is really cool to be almost two thousand miles away from school but still be able to watch your team play. After the shake out walk/jog, we finished watching UK lose and then went to eat lunch. I normally get very nervous before cross country meets, and I usually have trouble sleeping the night before, but this time I wasn�t very nervous. There were a couple of reasons why I wasn�t nervous this time. First off, we were running 4K as apposed to 8K, I feel more comfortable running less distance and also we were not running first thing in the morning. Our race wasn�t scheduled until 4:55.
We arrived at the course a little less than two hours before our race. Now I was nervous. Warm ups went well and as I was putting my spikes I felt good, I was ready to go. The start of the race was hectic, lots of elbows and a lot of pushing. I maintained fairly good positioning through the first mile, and was right about were I had planned to be. During the race I felt pretty good, but I knew I wasn�t running as well as I planned to. Missing those 10 days two weeks ago set me back a little farther than I had originally thought. I finished pretty strong but I could tell I wasn�t running like I was four weeks ago.
After the race we ran back to the hotel and got ready for dinner. Some of us found this really great pizza shop that had pictures of surfers and surfboards on all of the walls, it reminded me of home. After dinner we walked around a little bit and then went to bed. We were all spent, and we had to be up at 4:00 a.m. to catch our plane home. The trip was a blast and I thank the coaches for allowing us to see San Francisco and for taking us out west for a really competitive meet.
I don�t know how to feel about the race. I am not mad about it but at the same time I am not pleased. The race left me very unsatisfied. It is hard to let races go, especially when you wish you could run it over again. When thinking long term, this race has hardly any meaning and could easily be forgotten. But right now, I want to run it over again. I know I could finish better that I did and want to prove that I am better than 23rd place. But I know that will come later. Right now I need to think about the future and the rest of the season. The team did pretty well. Now that our first race is behind us, we need to focus on the next few weeks of training and then on ahead to rest of what looks to be a really good season.
Go Cats!
September 20, 2004
My first day back was pretty simple and easy. Even though I was running again, I still felt very unsatisfied. I wanted to do more. I was able to control my self and retired the run after about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes is hardly a warm up when I am in shape, but for this, my first day back, it was all I needed. Coach Weber said it would take a couple days for my legs to come back and my fitness to fully return. It took about three.
Thursday we ventured out to Keeneland Horse Farm for a split run. I was only running the first five-mile section; the other guys ran another two-mile section after the five. The day before I had an awful run, one of my worst runs in the last four months. I remember feeling as though I had never known what running was and I was being subjected to some kind of hideous torture. I was not too worried however; I was confidant in my training and that I was strong enough to return to my old form. I was optimistic about the split run at Keeneland. I ended up feeling pretty good. I finished right with Andre (Silva) in a time a lot faster than I had expected to run. My confidence was on the rise. The next two days were great and now feel right at the same point I left off, ready to roll.
Saturday morning was probably the best group run I had ever been on. About six or seven of us all stayed close together for our entire nine mile run. Usually someone breaks off or people fall back, but not on this day. It was a very promising run, and it bodes well for our meet coming up this weekend. I am not too nervous yet but as Saturday approaches I am sure I will be. I haven�t run in a Kentucky singlet since November. I feel added pressure this year too. Now I am no longer a freshman, nor am I fighting for a spot on the team, I am leading the team. Also we�ll be running at Stanford, the Mecca of collegiate distance running. I feel more anxious and eager than I do nervous though. Running the 4K race will suit my middle distance prowess more than an 8 or 10 K would. Wish us luck.
September 13, 2004
I don�t know what triggered the knee to start aching. It would be easy to say I ran too much or overtrained but I don�t think that�s it. Maybe I twisted it doing a loop at the arboretum? I don�t know. All I do know is there is nothing worse then wanting to run and not being able to. I�d rather be punched in the face than miss practice. Thankfully both my coaches were real supportive and assured me that this is only a minor setback and I�ll be right back where I was in a couple of weeks.
If overtraining did cause my knee to get sore I guess I could see why. I ran a lot in August. I averaged 61 miles a week and one week I ran 75. It�s amazing how accumulating mileage can be addicting. When I would add up my mileage in my running log it was almost like I was adding up the money in my checking account. I was getting greedy and I wanted more mileage. Summer training is like putting money in the bank, but when you are running it�s easy to forget that too much at once can cause more harm than good. This little ordeal has definitely taught me a lesson about over training.
Throughout this week my main concern was that I was going to get out of shape. It was pretty silly of me to think that but I did. I was worried. I thought my summer training was in vain, and I was going to have to redshirt. After a couple of talks with Coach Weber and Coach Gondak, it was clear to me that I wasn�t going to lose much fitness, and a week is not a lot of time to miss. For some reason it is hard to think rationally when you are confronted with an injury. The worst part about this whole thing was that my running enthusiasm went from the highest it had ever been to very low in one day. Thursday I was on top of the world and then Friday I thought I was done.
I�m glad this week is finished and my training is going to resume on Monday. I missed the feeling of flying down the road and forgetting about everything else, the feeling of wanting the end of the run to come near but at the same time wanting that feeling to go on forever, I missed joking around with my teammates for the first couple miles of a run, but what I missed most was once the joking was finished and we started to get serious on the run, and everybody is trying to throw on a surge. That�s when running is the most fun. I�m glad to see everyone is running well. The freshman are running great are going to fill in some of the gaps that were created by graduation. The future is bright for UK cross country.
September 7
Now a sophomore, with one year of college behind me, I feel prepared for my biggest year yet. Not just athletically or academically but all around, I feel prepared to make it happen. I�m not sure what I mean by happen, but it�s going to be good. The last two years have been successful years for me I suppose. My senior year of high school culminated with a Penn relays title, state titles in the 1600 and 800 and an All-American certificate in the 800. Then last fall I along with my Wildcat teammates competed in the NCAA cross country championships. What an experience that was. There is nothing more humbling than running a 5k PR in the middle of a 10k race and being in the back of the pack. The only real setbacks I�ve encountered in the last two years were red shirting my indoor and outdoor track seasons. But I�m over that now; it�s going to be sweet competing as a freshman this year. Also this year bodes well because of the investment I made over the summer to enhancing my running career. Before this summer I had only run two fifty mile weeks in my entire life. This summer I ran nine straight weeks of over fifty miles. Like I said before, I am prepared to make it happen.
September has always been one of my favorite months. The weather is still warm, I am still excited about school, but most importantly it�s cross country season. I consider track to be my better season, but I have always enjoyed cross country. The closeness of a cross country team is unlike that of any other sport. No other athletes bond like cross athletes do. There must be something about those long ten mile runs or maybe it�s the mile repeats, whatever it is, it creates a strong force that I have been part of for the last nine fall seasons. Nine seasons, it hardly seems like that long since I first toed the line.
After two weeks of practice it�s pretty clear that our team is young and inexperienced. And compared to last year�s team we have a long way to go. Last year was a great year for UK cross country, but the next couple of years are going to be even better. We only have two juniors on the team, the rest are freshmen and sophomores. This year�s freshmen have already shown they have the ability to contribute immediately. We are already looking ahead to rest of this season, particularly the SEC meet where we hope to improve on our 4th place finish from last year, and ahead to regionals in North Carolina. But also we are looking ahead to the next couple of seasons and aiming for success no other Kentucky team has ever accomplished.

text: Dugan played for Holy Cross for just a year before he was signed to a lucrative contract by the late Connie Mack for the old Philadelphia A's. But he led the Crusaders to an Eastern baseball championship while he played third base in that one season (1917). The Crusaders posted a 22-4 record that year, and Dugan led the team in hitting with a .384 average (33-for-86). Three of the team's four defeats were by just a run, the other by two. He never played in the minor leagues, going directly to the A's where he played until 1922. That year he joined the Boston Red Sox for 84 games and then became a New York Yankee. He played in five world series with the Yankees and roomed with Babe Ruth. He played in 1,447 major league games and has a lifetime average of .280. In both the 1923 and '24 seasons he scored more than 100 runs and was in the top 10 in the American League in that category. He passed away in 1982.

Here's the House Rules Committee website. On it right now you'll find the list of amendments to the financial regulation package.
Before any bill/amendment gets to the floor, it has to go through the Rules Committee, currently chaired by Louise Slaughter. It is Rules that decides what will be voted on and what won't, and it is one of the principle ways that House leadership controls the agenda. As in, "don't worry about electing anti-choice Democrats, leadership will never allow anti-choice legislation onto the floor."
When the Finance Committee was crafting the credit card reform bill, for example, nobody wanted to vote against the amendments putting a cap on interest rates. It would just look bad. But the banks were very intent that no such limitation would be passed. So, although many amendments that would have limited interest rates were passed by the Finance Committee and made it to the Rules Committee, none of them were allowed onto the floor by the Rules Committee. It saved everyone the public embarrassment of having to cast a vote that could hurt them, and allowed them to give the banks what they wanted at the same time.
Kinda sweet.
Anyway, to get an idea of where leadership wants to go with the financial regulation package, you can look at the amendments listed right now. Worthy of note:
- Colin Peterson's amendment on derivatives
- The combined Frank/Peterson amendment
- An amendment on exemptions from Sarbanes-Oxley
- An amendment on cramdown
Lobbyists are churning through these amendments right now, but the public rarely gets their oar in until debate goes to the floor. By that time, half the battle is already over.
Have a look at the amendments being offered, and let us know which ones you think need to be ditched and which ones should get a vote.

2015 Acura TLX to be based on the Honda Accord - report
Will replace the outgoing TL
Acura is in the midst of a major product revamp and new details are starting to emerge about the 2015 TLX.
Set be launched next summer, the TL successor will continue to be a fancy Honda as it will reportedly be based on the new Accord. This isn't much of a surprise but it should result in a smaller model with a shorter wheelbase.
Engine options remain unconfirmed but the most likely candidate is the company's 3.5-liter V6 that develops 310 bhp (231 kW) and 272 lb-ft (368 Nm) of torque. It will likely be connected to a six-speed automatic transmission which can be paired to an optional all-wheel drive system.

great; held off until this; have 2012 TL of which I love; has only 5K miles so I can take my time.
Aug 31st, 2013 4:14am
Please do something about this awfully boring and dull design's of Acura. What happened to making sporty Acura's?! What's so appealing about a luxurious toaster?
Aug 21st, 2013 11:46am
If acura made a 2 door and 4 door, that was rear drive and put that 3.5 engine in it, it would be more interesting and people would actually want it. It would also differentiate it from the accord. You cant make a car with the same price of a 3 series and make it fwd.... the only japanese cars that can compete with the 3 series are the infiniti g37 and lexus IS.
Aug 21st, 2013 10:56am
I understand; had an Acura Legend Coupe; its engine and suspension did not have the ride and handling of the current TL, though; loved the body and not the suspension/ride; I want it all. The current TL is superior to that Legend execution, and as much as I would like another coupe, I would not want that suspension or ride.
Aug 31st, 2013 7:17am
I know I shouldn't speak for everyone but I'm sure that this comes as no surprise to anyone as to what the platform has always been based on
Aug 21st, 2013 6:38am
Honda should shut down Acura, a brand that never was, and focus on being an engineering firm aiming to make great Honda cars.

Hair loss, or alopecia, in a dog or a cat is not an uncommon problem for veterinarians to see.
The causes of this are many and varied. Parasites such as fleas and mites are frequent causes. Hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid gland, and Cushings disease, an overactive adrenal gland, are common hormonal causes.
The frequently vexing and complicated field of dermatology is one of the reasons that I (Dr. Henri Bianucci) became a surgeon. Now, my primary involvement with skin is cutting through it, not treating and diagnosing skin conditions. But I do have an appreciation for the art of dermatology, and a recent case caught my attention.
My friend and colleague, Dr. Randall Thomas of Southeast Veterinary Dermatology and Ear Clinic in Mount Pleasant described a small-breed dog who had a severe case of alopecia.
Because there was no skin irritation or itchiness and the fact that it was symmetrical (the same pattern on both sides of the patient) and diffuse, his primary suspicion was that this was a problem born of a hormonal imbalance.
Next, a biopsy was taken of the skin, which confirmed that this was likely a hormonal problem. Initial blood work, however, was negative for all of the usual hormonal imbalance suspects.
Thomas scheduled more testing for some of the less common hormonal issues. It was then that the owner, a woman he gauged to be in her mid- to late-40s confided in him and asked a question.
"I am on hormone replacements. Do you think this could be the problem?" He was surprised by the question, because he had never diagnosed a case of that before.
But it started to make sense. The dog was one of three in the home and was the smallest so it was frequently picked up and handled. This would mean that exposure to the owner would be proportionally greater for him than for the larger pets. Although mildly so, there was some evidence of hair loss in the other dogs.
The woman was administering her hormones through a transdermal gel. The mix of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone was rubbed on the inside of the forearms where it is rapidly absorbed through the relatively thin skin. This also is applied as a spritz or spray as well.
The decision was made to apply the gel elsewhere, such as the back, and to wear gloves or thoroughly wash hands after application. These simple alterations in application resolved the problem, and full coats of hair returned to all three dogs.
Hormone replacement therapy is a rapidly growing field worth $1.8 billion in 2009. Topically applied gels make up a large and expanding part of that market. Use with care around pets and children.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Editor's note: This is the second of two reports on Clayton County teachers honored for their accomplishments by a major foundation.By Curt Yeomans email@example.com Reshawndra Hutchins wanted to be a research scientist when she was five. By the time she turned 10, however, Hutchins had changed her mind and wanted to pursue a career as a marine biologist. In high school, it was the medical field which caught her fancy. As a biology student at Howard University, Hutchins decided she didn't want her parents to have the burden of paying for medical school, so she eventually went into teaching. She ended up at Pointe South Middle School in her hometown of Jonesboro -- the same school she attended for two years during her childhood. "I've always wanted to do something with science," Hutchins said. "The best part about science is it's always changing. History doesn't change. In an English class, a declarative sentence is always going to be a declarative sentence. In science, things change everyday and that's the cool part about it." Hutchins, who has taught science, math and social studies at Pointe South for seven years, recently learned she and Mundy's Mill High School teacher Sabrina Isdell are two of the 10 Georgia science teachers who will receive the 2008 Siemens Science Teacher Initiative Award. The award is jointly given by the Siemens Foundation and Fernbank Museum of Natural History. The Siemens Foundation also recognizes 10 science teachers in New York. Hutchins and Isdell will formally receive their honors on May 6, during a presentation at Fernbank. "We look for teachers who are engaging their students, not just teaching the curriculum because they have to," said Jennifer Harper-Taylor, vice president of the Siemens Foundation. "These teachers are able to manage the balance of keeping their students challenged and motivated." Katrina Miller, the school system's coordinator of secondary science, nominated both Hutchins and Isdell for the award because of the work they do to help their students and other science teachers in the district understand the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for their respective grade levels. Hutchins, who received her first microscope when she was five, teaches sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade science and math to gifted students at Pointe South. Miller cited Hutchins' position as the science department chairman at Pointe South; her work as a GPS coach; participation on the textbook steering committee and her duties as a Math-Science Partnership instructor as reasons for nominating the teacher for the Siemens award. These days, Hutchins gets as excited about teaching her science lessons as her students are about learning some of the topics. Her favorite topic to cover with sixth-graders is rocks and minerals. With the seventh-graders, her choice is biology. When she's teaching the eighth-graders, Hutchins looks forward to covering the physics-related topics because her students get to build miniature roller coasters. Hutchins said when she is working with her students, she gets to see the future. "You never know who is in your classroom," she said. "You could be teaching the next Einstein or Stephen Hawking ... You might be teaching a future president of the United States." When Hutchins' sixth-grade students learned their teacher was getting an award for her classroom abilities, the 20-plus pupils in her class erupted into applause. "She's a great teacher because she loves science and she helps us review for all of our tests," said student Kamiya Owens, 12. "I'm proud of her because she loves teaching. If I were her, I would want to be recognized for my hard work as a teacher."

Fresh Air Weekend: Carl Zimmer, The Three Stooges
Originally published on Sat April 21, 2012 11:58 am
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
The Race To Create The Best Antiviral Drugs: Researchers want to create a widely effective drug that targets viruses much in the same way that penicillin kills a wide range of bacteria. Science writer Carl Zimmer profiles the scientists who are developing these antiviral drugs, and the technology behind it, in his latest piece for Wired magazine.
The Stooges Are Back, And Nyukking Things Up Again: The Farrelly brothers' new film reimagines Moe, Curly and Larry in the present day, but retains the Stooges' trademark slapstick humor and sound effects. "We tried to keep it looking exactly like the Stooges did it," says Peter Farrelly.
Loudon Wainwright III Looks Back At His 'Old Man': Over the past four decades, the singer has chronicled his relationships with his ex-wife, the late Kate McGarrigle, and his children, the singers Rufus and Martha Wainwright. His new album, Older Than My Old Man Now, addresses his relationship with yet another family member: his father.

Each year as Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close there are mixed emotions amongst women's health advocates. On the one hand, all those walks, runs and pink ribbons raise billions of dollars for charity. On the other, in some cases it's hard to trace what's being done with that money and the list of companies that seem to be promoting breast cancer awareness while profiting from less-than-healthy products grows every year.
It's a familiar problem in the realm of cause marketing. Several years ago when companies began throwing around environmental claims without backing them up, accusations of greenwashing grew louder and louder until the Federal Trade Commission began cracking down on various claims related to the sustainability and carbon footprints of products, and companies began to tone down their green marketing for fear of backlash. Now cancer advocacy is butting up against similar problems, particularly as consumers and the media become more aware of the issue of pinkwashing.
In the Beginning, There Was Peach
What is now the pink ribbon actually began as a peach ribbon, tied in its early days to specific policy work. Charlotte Haley, a woman who's grandmother, sister and daughter had all dealt with breast cancer was inspired by the red ribbons she had seen for AIDS awareness, and began pinning peach ribbons to cards that read, "The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon."
Around the same time, in the early 1990s, Susan G. Komen for The Cure had begun to hand out bright pink ribbons to participants in its Race for the Cure. In 1992, Alexandra Penney, then editor-in-chief of Self magazine, was working with Evelyn Lauder of Estee Lauder on her second Breast Cancer Awareness month issue and came up with the idea of creating a ribbon that the company could hand out at cosmetics counters. At the same time, Liz Smith, a columnist for the magazine, wrote a story about Haley and her ribbon. Penney called Haley, telling her the magazine would like to partner with her on the ribbon campaign, but Haley wanted none of it. "She said we were too commercial," Penney has said. "We didn't want to crowd her, but we really wanted to do a ribbon. We asked our lawyers and they said, ' Come up with another color."
They chose pink and the first major pink ribbon campaign was born. Komen has now trademarked its particular pink ribbon, but because neither the color nor the general ribbon symbol can be trademarked, companies not affiliated with Komen–or any charity for that matter–can, and do, use a pink ribbon however they wish. "Sometimes the use of the pink ribbon in and of itself is the end, companies can claim that using it helps to raise awareness, and that is the extent of what they're doing," says Karuna Jaggar, Executive Director of Breast Cancer Action, a watchdog and advocacy group.
The term "pinkwashing" was coined by Breast Cancer Action in reference to companies that either promote breast cancer awareness without donating at all, are deceptive or not transparent about where any funds raised go, or put a pink ribbon on a product with known or suspected links to cancer. The group launched its Think Before You Pink campaign in 2002 and has found at least one product every year since to be the poster child of pinkwashing. In 2007, the campaign targeted car companies, including Ford, BMW and Mercedes, that "sell cars to raise money for breast cancer, while the cars themselves produce air pollutants linked to breast cancer." In 2008, Think Before You Pink targeted Yoplait for putting pink lids on yogurt containing milk from cows treated with the hormone rGBH, which has been linked to breast cancer. After hearing complaints from tens of thousands of consumers, Yoplait removed rGBH from its products. In 2010, when Susan G. Komen for The Cure partnered with Kentucky Fried Chicken on a "pink bucket" campaign, Breast Cancer Action launched its "What the Cluck?" petition, urging consumers to let both KFC and Komen know what they thought of the partnership. High-fat diets have been conclusively linked to cancer risk, and although Komen's intention was to promote KFC's new grilled chicken and vegetable meals, the pink buckets also carried fried chicken. This year, Breast Cancer Action went after Komen itself when independent lab tests revealed chemicals of concern in Promise Me, a perfume commissioned by the charity. According to the tests, the perfume contains chemicals not listed in the ingredients that are regulated as toxic and hazardous.
The new documentary, Pink Ribbons, Inc., due out in 2012 and based on a book by the same name, highlights not only the more obvious examples of pinkwashing, but some of the undercurrents of the pink ribbon movement in general. A group of women living with Stage 4 breast cancer talk about how difficult it is to find support in a movement that's all about being upbeat and strong enough to beat cancer. The film's narrator takes us through the history of the breast cancer movement, which started with advocacy and a push for better public policy, but that some feel has lost both its edge and its purpose in the quest for more corporate funding.
Is Pinkwashing Really a Problem?
Nancy Brinker, executive director of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has said that while women are still dying from breast cancer, there can never be enough pink. "But in the end, the pink is a functional effort," she told Forbes recently. "The work of our foundation is where the beef is. It's where all this ends, where all this leads to. The funding of research hat wouldn't be done any other way. And the addressing of disparities that wouldn't be tackled any other way. The pink is a means to an end."
According to Elizabeth Thompson, president of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Komen's process for selecting corporate partners effectively weeds out any company or product that is not in sync with the charity's mission, which is, according to its website, "to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures."
Just under 5,000 companies a year come to us to do business, and we have a very solid process to review ingredients in products, we follow IARC [International Agency for Research on Cancer] standards and if we don't understand the ingredients of a product, we have as a back-up a group at Harvard that helps us vet them," Thompson says. "Out of those 5,000 we only partner with about 275. The others are not selected either because of an ingredient list or because they don't match up with our philosophy. We're looking for companies and organizations that want to do more than just slap a ribbon on something."
Even the now-infamous KFC partnership was undertaken for specific reasons, according to Thompson, although that partnership was dissolved early after one year. "Dr. Funmi Olopade, one of the leading cancer researchers at the University of Chicago, called me the same day I was getting call after call criticizing the KFC campaign and she said, 'Liz, I think this KFC thing is the best thing Komen has done,'" Thompson says. "I asked her why and she said that a woman had come in to her clinic that day with a bucket and asked for a breast screening. They asked her, what was it that made you come in now? We had billboards in south Chicago and had a spokesperson at her church and that hadn't done it. She said, 'We bought this bucket and sat down as a family and my kids said mommy you don't smoke anymore, you don't drink, why haven't you had your screening? We are always looking for ways to reach new audiences, and that campaign helped in that regard."

Rodgers slams Mourinho's defensive tactics after loss
Apr 27, 2014, 1:31 PM EDT
Brendan Rodgers had some sour grapes after the 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Anfield, and much of it had to do with the ultra-defensive strategy Jose Mourinho chose to field.
With the Anfield fixture bookended by Champions League matches – which Mourinho said he believed were the club's priority – the London club's manager selected a weakened side to face the Reds.
The lineup did not feature attacking midfielder Oscar, nor did it have the injured Eden Hazard, and Rodgers could see the difference.
"It was 10 players behind from the first minute [by Chelsea], and we found it difficult to break down," Rodgers said of Chelsea's strategy. "There were probably two buses parked today, never mind one."
When a reporter asked if he could build a team and play that way, he said with a chuckle, "What do you think?"
Finally, Rodgers said he doesn't believe a fully defensive outlook will allow Chelsea to win trophies, and not just in the Premier League.
"[To win matches] you need combination play. Not just vs Atletico, it's every game. If it gets results, great, but it's totally opposite of how we work. Over time our mentality and aggression will get us results. It's not difficult to coach to get 10 men inside the 18-yard box."
The Liverpool manager was also not happy about how slow Chelsea played. "It was disappointing they didn't get booked for time wasting until the 92nd minute," Rodgers remarked. "Everyone could see it from the first whistle."
It was a pretty obvious tactic by Mourinho to slow the game down, most notably when John Obi Mikel walked off the pitch after receiving treatment, and he made three stops to turn around and have a word with referee Howard Webb, much to the anger of the Anfield crowd.
Rodgers was the head youth coach under Jose Mourinho's first stint at Chelsea, and the game was billed as a "master vs apprentice" matchup. However, the two did not shake hands after the match, and when asked if he had seen or spoken to Mourinho after the final whistle, Rodgers said bluntly, "I haven't seen Jose yet."
Finally, Rodgers finished up his presser giving credit to Mourinho but not agreeing with the way of playing. "Jose's happy with that. It's not my way of working. They defended well – we tried everything we could."
- egb234 - Apr 27, 2014 at 2:35 PM
I really like Rodgers, and I think he's allowed some sour grapes, but it's kind of funny to think of him explaining what will or won't win trophies, especially with regards to a Mourinho team. Love him or hate him, Mourinho knows a thing or two about winning.

Seriously, why didn't CFC just let LFC score?

- navyeoddavee9 - Apr 27, 2014 at 4:26 PM
Chelsea did not put a full strength team on the pitch, held Liverpool scoreless and won 2-0 at Anfield, whatever you want to call the tactics, the object is to win. Rogers needs to stop whining.
- jasjbb - Apr 27, 2014 at 9:26 PM
Shut up, Rodgers. You sound bitter. Jose's gameplan got the best of you. Admit it, and take it like a man. That is, IF you're a man.
- chunkala - Apr 28, 2014 at 2:37 PM
All Liverpool needed was a tie. Why was it so important to go for the win?
He may have screwed his team out of the title, but there's still a few weeks to go.
- navyeoddavee9 - Apr 28, 2014 at 2:49 PM
Odds are, if u go for a draw, you will end up losing, got to go for the win
- chunkala - Apr 29, 2014 at 9:42 AM
In other sports sure, but definitely not in soccer. In EPL, there is a 54% chance that 1 team will not score.
Chelsea Put out an absolutely defensive team without many playmakers. Hazard didn't play.
They bunkered in for a tie, take what team gives you.

Below is the poem entitled Death, even for a one eyed king which was written by poet
Szabo. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Erica Szabo
Emotions are the ropes that hand from tree branches
Blowing in the breeze like Spanish Moss
And from these emotions love is knotted
A nose that suffocates us
While ill feet dangle with gravity toe distends in reach
Yet it is we who allow are selves to dangle
One would thinks o freely
When in reality we kill are selves for what we think beautifully
Perhaps it is best to love from a fare
As long as their worth loving
Dose it mater if they know at all
Why must we string up loves ropes
When we know it will be the death of us
Perhaps love is more a blind mans world
To see beauty in ugly things
You must overcome death the ropes bring
Yet love it seems lives to trick us all
Death in life's clothing
But a one eyes man is king in a blinds man world
Some of us care knives
Cut lose the ropes that strangle us
Left one eye to see for all
A laugh in the face of love
But love you see is a vengeful *****
Can't stand to not have the last laugh
So for ever on are toes
We dance around love
Leaving the club before were swept away in the mosh pit
Yet love is a shadow we can never seem to stray away from
It calls to us like fear in the dark
Tempting are hearts with visions of those we once loved
So it seems weather we suffocate now or later in are dreams
Love is death
Even for a one eyed king

It's telling that the company that develops that OS for idiots is smart enough to keep their desktop and tablet/smartphone OS offers separate instead of offering everything and the kitchen sink. And Lion won't include as many tablet-inspired features as Windows 8.
But then again, Windows 7 was highly flexible, and you could add and remove a great number of components, so I expect Windows 8 to follow its example, making the above problem a non-issue. And system requirements are said to be even lower, which is highly impressive on its own.
I would pay to see someone developing software with a tablet, though. Using Eclipse. Or doing software modeling with Visual Paradigm. Or using a virtual machine running any other operating system. Again, seriously guys, do you really think someone is going to force users to run tablets? Now, high-end tablets with their own monitor and peripherals is another matter entirely.
