EVER since I go to work and sink a cool one thousand bucks in that clairvoyant game, not to say nothin' of fines, taxi hire, doctors' bills, and so on, I had been scareder of the missus than a wild animal. You know where I had went into that little deal strictly contrary to the wife's advice; and if she ever found it out—oh, boy!
The missus says that although maybe Caruso and Governor Whitman and George M. Cohan and President Wilson and J. P. Morgan and Al Jolson, and maybe a few other birds like them, has a better job than managin' boxers like I—nevertheless, the missus says, the thing for you to do is stick to your knittin' and not monkey round with no side lines.
And after what I got done to me in that clairvoyant deal—well, I was inclined to agree with her.
And so then one day I was beatin' it round to call on one of the sportin' editors, and ask him where did he get that stuff about how the Kid's best blow is the one where he kisses the canvas with his head, when—
Well, the last time I seen that bird it cost me a five-spot; he was so far down and out that it looked like he wouldn't never be able to come back for another one; and so I simply kisses that fiver good-by and leave him have it to get rid of him. And that couldn't of been more than a couple of months ago.
But you had ought to see him now! He's draped in about five hunderd dollars' worth of exclusive suitings, hattings, shirtings, and everything with chunks of ice hung all over him till he looks like a Crystal Palace, and he's ridin' round in a ten-thousand-dollar flivver with a regular slave in uneyform to run it.
I couldn't hardly believe my eyesight. But when he seen me there on the sidewalk, lammin' along among the rest of the common herd, he passes me the high sign, leans forward, and gives the showfer the office, and the car draws up alongside the curb like a royal yacht drawin' into dock.
Well, of course, everybody in the vicinity that's draggin' down less than five thousand per—let's make it unanimous—stops to get an eyeful of the Count of Monte Cristo, or the Duke of Chicago, or whoever he is; and I wisht I could of passed around my card or somethin'. It would of been a good ad, for I and the Kid.
"Hello, Charley," he says. "How's the boy?"
"Well," I says, "up to a minute ago I was feelin' a good deal about as usual. But you know how it is with a man at my time of life. Any sudden shock—"
He laughs. "I don't know as I blame you," he says. "But listen, Charley. Don't I owe you some money? Five dollars or somethin'?"
"Five dollars!" I says. "Five dollars! Listen here, fella! Fifty-fifty or I go from here to headquarters! Get me? Of course I don't know what you done—blowed a box or trimmed a rube, or somebody, or somethin'— but take it from me, you look suspicious! Believe me, your very looks is enough to convict you with anybody that knowed-you-when. And these is war-times, and—"
"War-times is right," he says, diggin' up a fiver out of a roll of twenties or bigger and the size of your leg. "You said somethin', Charley. Right there's how I made it. Munitions, boy! Munitions!"
"How d'you mean?" I asks.
"Why," he says, "I had an uncle die and leave me a little money. Now I know where I got to get some kind of a run for that money, and I'm gettin' tired of the ponies and all that other kind of stuff, and so what d'you know? A guy comes along sellin' shares in a company that's goin' into this here new shell- game and help wipe them Huns off the earth."
"And so listen, Charley," he says. "Here was my chance to do something patriotic, and, well—"
"Make a little somethin' on the side," I says.
"Maybe or maybe not," he says. "It was a gamble. But, anyhow, I shot the wad; and now—just look at me!"
"I would," I says, "only it hurts my eyes."
"Believe me, Charley," he says, "we mopped up! I'd like to tell you all about it some time. You had ought to come out to my new place on the Hudson, right next to a bunch of other millionaires' places. Take it from me, Charley, it's some dump! And I would like to show you some of my other cars besides this little old bus I'm ridin' in. And then I got—"
"Lay off, you lucky stiff," I says, "or I'll make good on what I said! I'll have you pinched! Maybe you got it that way, and maybe—"
"Believe me, Charley," he says, handin' the Home James sign to the showfer, "I did! And listen, Charley," he says, as he rolls and royces away, "take my advice, and if you get a chance at any of this war stuff, grab on! Go to it!"
"Much obliged for the tip," I says, "and thanks for the five. And between I and you" —by this time he was cut of ear-shot— "I hope you choke!"
The lucky stiff! What d'you know about that?
And somehow—well, I couldn't seem to get the idea of that bird out of my head. To think of a guy like him, that only two months ago wasn't worth the powder to blow him to hellingone, and now, as he says, look at him! That is, if you can without havin' an eye put out. It would certainly make you sore—the luck of some people.
Well, anyways, I went round and seen that sportin' editor, and showed him where he had done I and the Kid a great injustice, and he promises to be good; and so then I lams back to the office again.
And I was just gettin' down to work, tryin' to think of somebody that the Kid hadn't trimmed—or that hadn't trimmed the Kid—so I could challenge him, when—you wouldn't believe it!
Yes. sir, after all his bein' directly responsible for my gettin' into that clairvoyant thing, and a sucker game if they ever was one—after gettin' me trimmed for a good two thousand dollars or more, this bird has the nerve—
"Out!" I says, and reaches for the inkwell.
"Kamerad! Kamerad!" says Eddie.
"Where d'you get that come-a-rod stuff?" I says. "You go a mile—in nothin'—or I'll brain you!"
"Aw, now, Charley," he says, "come on! Have a heart! What for do you want to go and hold that up against me?"
"If you mean this here inkwell." I says—I guess it would weigh a good pound or more— "take it from me, I'm not gonna hold it up against you more than one second longer. I'm gonna leave you have it!"
"You know what I mean," he says, "And listen, Charley. On the level, that's why I'm here. I'm sorry I let you in for a loss on that thing: and— Look, Charley! I know where you can make good! Good? Why, you can make our fortune!"
" 'You can make our fortune' is good," I says. "I take the risk: you take the fortune."
And right there was where I made my mistake. I hadn't ought to of parleyed with him one instant.
"Listen, Charley," he says. "You know how fortunes is bein' made right along now'days in these here war-babies, and ammunitions, and submarines, and everythin'."
Well, after just meetin' that skate that had graduated in two months from a cheap panhandler to a millionaire in his own right, I guess I knowed somethin' about the fortunes that was bein' made in this here war stuff. And so I begin to prick up my ears.
"Well," says Eddie, "take it from me. Charley, I've got a hold of somethin' that if they don't nobody beat us to it—Charley, listen to me! In less than six weeks I and you will be givin' dinners to our friends at the Rich-Carleton, and givin' away limousines for souvenirs!"
"You mean favors," I says. "If you was up in society like I—well, anyways, just a little old dinner to your friends at the Rich or somewhere ain't no one hundredth performance. But of course you wouldn't be expected to know nothin' about such things. Yeh! I got a picture! You mean in six weeks we'll be eatin' in a bean-wagon and layin' away our watch to pay for it."
"Wait till I tell you," says Eddie. "Never mind how I meet this bird in the first place. You know me; I'm always lookin' out for little things like this. Anyways, I've been workin' on this guy for a month; and now I've got him where we can cinch him. All it needs is a little money."
"I was afraid of that," I says.
"And believe me," says Eddie, "it was some job! I never seen a guy more suspicious than him."
"It depends a little," I says, "on who you're doin' business with."
"Even now," says Eddie, "I don't know who he is, nor what's his name, nor where he lives. What d'you know about that? I've just met him off and on round in different joints and places. And believe me, this bird keeps himself very well covered!"
"I don't blame him," I says, "considerin'— Say! Where d'you get this mysterious stranger stuff? What kind of business you tryin' to ring me in on? Some kind of a spy business?"
"Nothin' like that." says Eddie. "This guy's an inventor. And I'll tell you frankly, he's crazy."
"What could be fairer than that?" I says.
"But of course," says Eddie, "all these inventors is nuts, and so what could you expect? Though, at that, I'll tell the world fair, this here guy is the prize pecan! You see where I'm givin' it to you all straight."
"Oh, of course," I says. " Oh, certainly! Just as if you would think of doin' anythin' else!"
"But listen, Charley." says Eddie. "Whether this bird is a bug or not ain't neither here nor there. The real point is, if this guy's got what he says he has—and of course they ain't nothin' we can do but take his word for it—I tell you frankly—"
"I suppose," I says, "if a guy was to ask you what's the time, you'd tell him frankly."
"If this bird's got what he claims Charley, it 'll make our everlastin' fortunes for the three of us!"
"Goin' up!" I says. "You started in with only one fortune split two ways. Now you ring in this here crazy guy and make a fortune apiece for all three of us. At that, if I had to have a fortune, I'd prefer one of them everlastin' kind. The other kind— Get businesslike! What is it this here nut claims he's got?"
"He's went to work and invented some new kind of a hand-grenade," says Eddie. "You know what I mean. Them round things like a baseball, only different, that you touch off and throw at somebody, and it explodes and kills you."
"What— Are you pitchrn' or catch-in'?" I asks him.
"I was gettin' ahead of my story," he says. "What I mean, you know, the way them things is made now, as soon as you start 'em goin', if you don't get 'em right away from you— suppose you got a cramp in your arm or somethin'—they're liable to explode right there in your hand—"
"And kill somebody," I says.
"Yeh," says Eddie. "So this bird has went to work and invented some kind of a dingus, or business, or somethin', that makes the world safe for the guy that's doin' the heavin'—see? But the other guy—oh, boy! This bird guarantees that one of them little pills of his will do the work of one gross of any ordinary bomb that's on the market. And so what's the answer?"
"Listen, Charley," says Eddie. "This new fool-proof grenade thing is gonna be all the rage! Why, nobody won't be able to sell them old-fashioned bombs at any price! It stands to reason. And all I and you have to do to grab off a half interest is just simply put up for gettin' the thing patented and—now— promotion. Ain't that a crime? And look,
Charley! As soon as we get them patent papers, and everythin' all buttoned up good and tight—why, we can sell out to the gover'ment in ten minutes and live on it for the rest of our natural life!
"Why, Charley," he says, "they's nothin' to it! And so—look! I got a date all made with this bird for I and you to run out with him to the place where he's been workin' on this thing—it's a ways outside the city—this very afternoon. He's gonna give us a demonstration."
Well, that's news to me.
"Listen, Eddie," I says. "If it was anybody but you, and them bombs will do all that this bird claims they'll do, I liefer take that demonstration for granted. Maybe if I open the window I can hear it from here."
But—well, you might know. What with one thing and another, I fell for it. For one thing, it looks like maybe here is a chance to get back them three thousand or more berries I went and sank in that clairvoyant thing, and then I can face the missus without feelin' like a criminal or somethin'. And for another, I can't seem to get the idea of that guaranteed fresh laid millionaire out of my head. And to think of a guy like him—well, I wouldn't like nothin' better than to make a couple of fortunes of my own, and then meet up with this bird again some day, and believe me, I would show him!
So finally I says: "All right Eddie, I'll take a chance. But you'll have to see this bird and get that demonstration put off till to-morrow. It's like this. The Kid's in a jam, and I got a date this afternoon to help him out."
And that wasn't nothin' but the truth. For a while back it had seemed like the Kid had lost all kind of interest in his work. He wouldn't do no trainin' not to amount to anythin'; and what fights he was in, them other boys simply mops up the ring with him. So finally it come to a show-down between I and the Kid, and the truth come out.
And of course, you might know. The Kid had went and gone bugs over some girl or other by the name of Claire—Kopsky. Well, I seen where the Kid had got his, all right; and so I asks him why don't he have it over with and marry her. Believe me, the way he is now, he's not no good to himself nor nobody else; and take it from me, it's costin' us regular money to bring him back to life.
"And so the only thing for you to do," I tell the Kid, "is kiss yourself good-by and marry the girl."
Yeh, says the Kid—Fine! But take it from him,—Old Man Kopsky has other ideas! Worse than that. Mr. Kopsky is somehow prejudiced against a boxer. And the Kid has a rival that works in a factory; and Mr. Kopsky is backin' this red-headed, rough-necked husky to the limit. Mrs. Kopsky, it seems, is neutral. And Claire—she's all for the Kid.
"Listen, Kid," I says. "What's the disposition of the enemy's forces?"
"Meaner than dirt," says the Kid.
"You don't get me," I says. "What does this here Kopsky do for a livin', and does he stick round the house much? What's the family's general habits? And this here redhead; when might you expect him round to call on Miss Kopsky? And all that kind of stuff."
Well, the Kid says where Kopsky works somewheres outside the city; and when it comes to gettin' up in the mornin', Mr. Kopsky can make a sucker out of a milkman with the—now—insomnia; and he's away all day, and don't never get back till everybody but a night watchman calls it a day.
"Fine!" I says.
As for Redhead, the Kid says, you can depend upon him to blow round as regular as clockwork every evenin' at eight; but Redhead has a regular job, and so he don't never show up daytimes. And take it from the Kid, if him and Redhead ever gets together, and it's comin' just as sure as fate, what the Kid won't do to this bird—
And as for the family's general habits, the Kid says, they're temperate, but kind of common—exceptin', of course, Claire. Claire hasn't no outside job, and so she lives at home and helps out Mrs. Kopsky. And Mrs. Kopsky reads the movie magazines, breaks out twice a week and Sunday in a purple silk dress, and leaves Claire help her out—and don't you think she doesn't.
"I get you," I says.
Well, I seen where somethin' had to be done right away, because, what with all this kind of stuff on his mind, the Kid is a liability instead of an asset, and if this keeps up much longer I and him might just as well go to the poorhouse in the first place. So then—of course, I seen where they was only one thing to do—I go to work and pull some deep stuff. And by this time—well, we had it all fixed up.
Claire is game; and Mrs. Kopsky, oh, well, she'll come round; and Mr. Kopsky— well, Claire's of age; and so this afternoon, whilst the coast is all clear, the Kid is goin' to call round in a taxi, just like money wasn't no object, to take Claire to a matinee. Only— listen. I'm right there in the taxi, for a witness and to kind of see that everythin' goes right; and when this day's work is done—well, the Kid is a married man, and then I guess we won't have no more nonsense.
So I tell Eddie where we'll have to put that demonstration over till to-morrow; and Eddie says all right, he can arrange that little thing easy enough; and so we leave it that way.
And take it from me, if this bird that's invented this here new hand-grenade makes good on his claims, I can see right now where we're all of us on the way to a fortune, because they's money in this war stuff, and I know whereof I speak! Why, to think of a guy that only two months ago didn't have a red cent in this world, and now—just look at him! Maybe I didn't say that this here positively fresh rich guy goes by the name of Fred Barber; and, of course, maybe I got a mean disposition, and all this and that, but—leave it to me! Just as soon as my own fortune is all laid down and salted away, I won't never rest satisfied till I've hunted this bird down and showed him! It would certainly exasperate you—the luck of some people.
But first, of course, the Kid's affairs has to be taken care of. So that afternoon, accordin' to schedule, I and the Kid drives round to the Kopsky residence. And the Kid, all dressed up like a regular bridegroom, only worse, blows into the house after Claire, whilst I wait outside in the taxi.
Well, I didn't have long to wait. The door hadn't hardly shut behind the Kid, when—Zaa-a-m! Here comes a chair through a window takin' sash and all. A lot of other bric-a-brac starts to follow it, and just about then somebody sticks their head out of another window and starts hollerin' murder and police. I guess it's Mrs. Kopsky; and when she mentions murder, believe me. she said somethin'!
Anyways, it can't be nothin' less than the next thing to it—not from the sounds. They's a constant serious of terrific crashes and yellsand everythin', enough to split your ear; and—well, even a deaf, dumb, and blind man could of told where somethin' had went wrong somewhere.
And right about then I goes over the top. And believe me, it looks like if I am to get there in time to save the Kid's life, I had better hurry.
Well, I dashes into the front hall, turns to the right, and here we are at the front. The Kid and the redhead is havin' it out all over the place—oh, boy! They're makin' a barroom brawl out of the battle of Picardy. A long- haired hophead with eyes like a couple of ounces of liquid fire is dancin' round the edges, every now and then swingin' on the Kid with what's left of the hat-rack, and missin' him—sometimes. Kopsky!
Mrs. Kopsky is gone West, draped over the window-sill, half in and half out of the house, and a fifty-fifty preposition whether she falls in or out. And Claire is on top of the piano, with her skirts drawed up like she had saw a mouse, treatin' herself to the world's record fit of hysterics.
And the place is a wreck.
And besides all this—well. I seen where somehow Claire must of tipped her mitt; and Kopsky and this red-haired bird had laid for the Kid. And furthermore. I seen where if Mr. Kopsky continues to wear out that hat-rack on the Kid, pretty soon, who knows, the Kid may get hurt serious—and take it from me, Redhead is givin' the Kid all he can handle, anyways—
And so I grabs off Mr. Kopsky for myself, and the two of us goes to it. And all I've got to say is this: don't never fight with no crazy man. All the rules is off. You can't never tell where he's goin' to hit you, nor what with. And as for takin' punishment, they can make a sucker out of an anvil.
Of course, give me time and I would of trimmed him; but—
I guess the Kid must of seen him—that cop comin' in the door—almost as soon as I. Anyways, I and him makes our getaway— through the rear of the house and out the back door—runnin' horse and horse. We done fourteen blocks in nothin' flat. It doesn't do a man no good to get pinched, no matter how much right and justice you got on your side. Then I seen a pair of swingin' doors on a corner, and we lams through, still runnin' close to the ground, for a five-yard gain which brings us to the bar.
And I guess this here was one time when I had a good excuse.
Well, the both of us looks like we had just went through a couple of gas attacks, two or three of them box barrages, half a dozen trench raids, and a big push. What that redhead done to the Kid was a crime; and what Mr. Kopsky done to me—well, anyhow, it was a misdemeanor. Though, of course, if that cop hadn't showed up just when he did—
Anyways, it's a cinch where the Kid is out of business for a good six weeks or more; and believe me, if they's money in this hand- grenade thing, it begins to look like I'm gonna need it.
"Fine business!" I says to the Kid, after I get my breath—and the change—back. "Fine business, I should say! Well, maybe the next time you're gonna get married, you'll listen to me. and take my advice, and not try to pull off no elopements. Didn't I tell you all the time where they doesn't never no good come out of these elopements. But no, of course you knowed best; and so—"
"Well, will you listen to that!" says the Kid. "But never mind. Take it from me, Charley, I'm through with this marriage game—and them Kopskys, too! Claire and all the rest of 'em. This is the end!"
"Stick to that, Kid," I says, "and you're gettin' off easy."
And so, maybe, after all, it might of turned out worse. With the Kid back in the game and goin' good, as soon as he recovers, and if this little flier of mine in munitions turns out like I have every reason to believe it will—well, I guess I and the missus should worry about that old high cost of livin'.
So then, the next day. I and Eddie hires a car—that is, I hires the car—and takes a run out into the country.
We got lost a couple of times, and when I seen just how far away from the city—in order, of course, to make the world safe for the people that lives there—this here inventor has saw fit to carry on them experiments—
"Hey!" I says to the showfer. "Wait a minute! Hold up!"
"What's the idea?" asks Eddie.
"We forgot our telescope!" I says.
"Where d'you get that stuff?" says Eddie. "What for do we need a telescope?"
"To view that demonstration through," I says.
"Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea at that," says Eddie.
And then he goes on to tell me just what this bird claims this little bomb thing of his will do. And believe me, it was enough!
But anyways, finally we got there, and it wasn't nothin' but just a little shack away off in the woods from everythin' else.
And so then we unloads, and walks up and bats on the door.
"Come in," somebody says, and—I leave Eddie go first.
Well, it was kind of dark inside, and so at first I didn't get him. And when I did make him, you could see at a glance, from his actions, where he had already got me. He was reachin' for one of them little round, black things that laid in a row on the workbench. And I knowed what they was—a bunch of them new model bombs each and every one of them guaranteed to do the work of one full gross of any other kind of bomb ever invented, bar none! And I knowed what was goin' to happen, too. The demonstration is about to begin right here and now!
Start? They wasn't time for no such formalities as that! I was outside and fifty foot away from that shack, and breakin' all records for sustained flight, in zero.
And I might of covered twenty feet more—one step—when it sounds like all the powder in the world had went off in one blast. Boy! It blowed me flat on my face, but I'm burnin' that old ground before I hits it again on the rebound. If that thing had ever hit me—
Talk about a flier in munitions! I guess nobody never flew no faster than I! And take it from me, I keep right on goin' away from there till I drops dead and I and Mr. Kopsky is a nice long ways apart.
And I hope we don't never get no nearer to each other.
It might of been a couple of weeks later that I meet up again with this here Fred Barber, the war model millionaire, that if it hadn't of been for him—well, I wouldn't of been a lot older and wiser than I was them two weeks ago.
"Hello, Charley," he says. "How's the boy?"
"Fine!" I says.
"How's every little thing goin'?" he asks.
"Great!" I says. "How's things with you?"
"Boomin'!" he says! "What d'you know,
Charley? I'm on the way to another million!"
"You don't say! Fine!" I says.
"Yeh," he says. "More war stuff. I just bought up the rights to a new kind of hand- grenade, and believe me it's a winner!"
"What d'you know about that!" I says. "Who invented it?"
"A guy by the name of—"
"What was that again?" I says. Maybe I didn't quite catch him. Or did I?
"Kopsky," he says.

As you probably have already heard that google's launched its own Goo.gl url shortener service.
But it's not available for broad consumers to use, instead, it's like an add-on feature for google's other products like google toolbar and feeburner….
Why did google create such a service when there are tons of FREE url shorteners out there?…maybe our search giant just want a piece of pie and maybe potentially use it to support the new algorithm.
Here's what google said about the goal of this service:
- Stability – ensuring that the service has very good uptime
- Security – protecting users from malware and phishing pages
- Speed – fast resolution of short URLs
…That's all cool and nice right?…
But I don't think so…I believe whenever google makes a move there's always a hidden reason behind that…like google side wiki… Everyone thinks that our google's trying to "own" or "re-frame" other websites by literally putting tags on them.
Not just me who thinks that google's got something they don't want us to know. Read to what Andy Beal has to share…about the new google tool.
- What if Google starts using this click-thru data as part of its algorithm?
- How does this effect SEO?
- What if Google insists that sites with long URLs slow down the web and insists you convert to Goo.gl? Not that far fetched!
- What if it was added to the Google Toolbar because PageRank is going away–and Google needs a new reason to get you all downloading the toolbar?
- What if Google starts adding AdSense to the destination URLs
But in the end I think yes I will try out this new service for sure…but with precautions in case google does something funky…

Is the Chevy Volt losing its spark with consumers?
The Chevy Volt has been one of the most hyped plug-in electric vehicles.

AAA to offer roadside charging for stalled electric vehicles
With electric vehicles becoming more mainstream, AAA had some news this week to ease the "range anxiety" of battery-power converts. The nation's largest automobile association says it soon will roll out roadside assistance trucks with capability to recharge electric vehicles that run out of juice. As part of a pilot program, the trucks will be […] [Read More]
The Pope is going green with first-ever hybrid Popemobile
Pope Benedict XVI is going green with the next Popemobile, but His Holiness is more Prius than Leaf. Vatican officials are switching from the gas-powered M-Class Mercedes SUV to the first-ever hybrid popemobile — a "custom-made M-Class plug-in hybrid based on the technology found inside the Mercedes Vision S500 plug-in hybrid shown at the 2009 […] [Read More]

I agree, but anyway you look at it that gap is likely to diminish through the year. Now that there's some in-season testing we can expect the teams to have upgrades ever other race at least.

Secret Life of the American Teenager
"I've Watched Too Many Births on the Internet Since I Met You.": Greatest Quotes From Secret Life's Season 5 Summer Finale
It's official: The Secret Life of the American Teenager is on hiatus. There aren't enough sad face emoticons to convey our grief, especially since we have no idea whether or not Jack is dead. Luckily, we have some sage words of wisdom from our favorite Secret Lifers to get us through the rough times. Check out the 10 best quotes from the epic Season 5 summer finale, and try not to sob all over your computer screen while doing so.
10. Amy flirts with her fake hubby: "I want to kiss you."
Ricky: "Maybe after dinner."
Nothing puts Ricky in the mood for lovin' like a pile of meat sauce.
9. Ricky calls George's cell phone, gets the machine: "Yo, it's me, babes. Leave something sexy and I'll call you back!"
Consider us horrified.
8. Ben confronts Amy: "Last night, I was playing around on the Internet, couldn't sleep, and did you know that marriage is public record?"
Yeah, Ben. We all know what "playing around on the internet" means.
7. George dishes some words of wisdom: "Hey, everyone needs a friend."
Someone's been watching Toy Story again...
6. Leo's adopted hooker real talks: "I just want you to know, I love meat! Everything from spam to filet mignon."
Thank god, because otherwise she'd be back on the streets.
5. Ethan gets in touch with his inner pregnant lady: "I've watched too many births on the Internet since I met you. It's desensitized me."
Nothing like hitting the interwebs for some good ol' fashioned birthing vids.
4. Amy puts it on the line: "I love you."
Ricky: "We'll see."
Most studly response ever. The Fonz would be proud.
3. Bunny gives Ricky the 411: "Something hooker-related going on at the school."
What else is new?
2. Grace gets deep: "You just never know when the last time you talk to someone is going to be the last time you talk to someone."
Beautiful, Grace. We will so ponder that all day.
1. Tom plots his revenge on the pimp: "They're going to find him — and KILL HIM!"
Umm, Tom, don't you know what show you're on? This is not Pretty Little Liars.

I blame Carin…
I blame Carin…
When was reorganising my craft room the other day I found some half finished cross stitch projects stashed away in a box. One of them being a Mona Lisa book mark. It must have been a gift from someone. It is stitched on black Aida, and I really don't like stitching on Aida. But I can't for the love of it remember who gave it to me. Anyway, It's finished and I'm really content the way it turned out.
On the left a small project being a circle of some unrecognisable flowers and French lilies. It is stitched on I think Jobelan evenwave with DMC linen colour L 159. On the right a start. I have been wanting to stitch Cirque des Cercles from Ink Circles for a very long time and it has been in my stash for even longer. So after I finished Mona I "allowed" myself to start it, eventhough I have The Lavender shop, Nova, A Stitchers ABC and The Egyptian sampler as a wip in my craftroom.
CdC is being stitched 1 over 2 on 32 count Belfast linen with Gloriana hand dyed silks in the colour sage. I started stitching 2 over 2, but did not like the result so i frogged it all and started over. I'm now at the 'frogging-point' and I really love how it turns out.
Last month I bought a tape measure kit on the craft fair in Zwolle at the booth of Nenne Design and today I finished it.
This is the front:
And this is the back:
Four cabinets with 4×4 small drawers which can be linked to each other. Every little drawer contains 4 to 5 skeins of cross stitch fiber. Two large patterns and a cookie can filled with small ones.
Books! The large one on the bottom right is about old samplers. I love samplers!
And magazines and patterns plus clippings with patterns..
Have you seen the date on the magazine on the right? It's the Margriet. A woman's magazine and the title means Daisy's. Its from April 19, 1958. Awesome isn't it?Last but not least I got more patterns and fabric.

Teacher candidates should dress according to the professional standards of the school at which they are placed rather than the standards of the SPSU campus. Each school system has its own dress code. It is the responsibility of the teacher candidate to learn the dress code and dress appropriately. If the candidate is unsure about what constitutes appropriate dress, the issue should be discussed with the mentor teacher, Master Teacher, or school principal.

Recipe for fruity dessert for 25?
I need to make a dessert or two for a baby shower for about 25 people. Since fresh fruit is in season, I feel the need to use it! I was thinking of tarts and such (like a yummy blueberry buttermilk tart), but they don't feed many people, and carrying three tarts on the bus to work doesn't sound like fun.
Does anyone have a recipe that's good (tested!), travels well, can be made ahead (preferably the night before), and includes fresh fruit?
Seems like a tall challenge, but I could be the challenged one.
Thanks for your help!
What about various fruit/berry crumbles or crisps (I can never remember which is which)? You can make them in casserole dishes, which stack/travel fairly well (especially if you have the ones with the snazzy snap on plastic lids a la tupperware).
Here's a link to my local newspaper article yesterday which tried to showcase the local fresh fruits for desert.
Are you going to have any time to put things together. A big hit for me at baby showers has been individual trifles. You can transport the layers separately, and then assemble (very fast) before hand. If you do this, you may want to soak the cake. Of course, come to think of it, you can always do one big trifle that would travel well and is best if allowed to sit. I have done blueberry and gingerbread trifles, lemon cake with strawberry, coconut with peaches would be great, anything you like together and that is super fresh where you are. And trifles are pretty.
re: jsaimd
Have never made a trifle, and don't have a trifle dish. What else could it be served in? I would guess how many it serves depends on the size of the dish, but do you have an estimate as to what size serves what number? I love the combinations that you suggested.
I make crisps all the time for pot lucks - they are the best, most versatile dish. My only hesitation is that it just doesn't seem special, or different enough. Not that pretty either. I have been making a blueberry rhubarb crisp with hazelnut topping (showcases our local Oregon specialties) which goes over incredibly well!
Scroll down to the Block Party thread from several days ago. The fruit salad I made and composed on site for a post wedding brunch from assorted zip lock type bags was a winner. It was simply cherries, pitted and halved, blueberries,topped and quartered straberries, all in one bag. Then I (gasp....really did this) bought 2 bags each Kroger Private Selection mangoes, peaches and pineapple which I defrosted and drained...that fruit was dead ripe, then layered in a crystal bowl red fruit, chopped mint, yellow fruit, mint, red frut etc. and dressed the whole with a simple syrup heavily infused with freshly grated ginger. Everythihg goes to the party in it's own bag and is assembled and dressed on sight. Drop dead shopping bag easy. Just add some cold packs.
you could just do a fondue type thing. bring in a bunch of cut up fruit, marshmallows & pound cake (could even skewer it for presentation)and have a few different types of fruit dips.
other idea would be a fresh fruit trifle- very good & easy to travel.

The two teams meet in Germany on Wednesday night, when Arsenal need to produce what would be a remarkable comeback from a 3-1 defeat in the first leg of their last 16 tie.
But Bayern captain Lahm does not think Arsene Wenger's side are a force to be reckoned with anymore.
"I'd say they are one of the better teams in Europe but right at the top level? I don't think so," said Lahm.
Bayern will join Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals if they knock out Arsenal while there could be no English club in the last eight for the first time since 1996.
"It is a surprise to have no English teams in the quarter-finals," said Lahm.
"They have a strong league and have gone far in the past but a lot of teams have caught up. We are here, Dortmund are here."

Mott Children's Hospital were invited to a special night under the stars in the Tiger Den at Comerica Park, enjoying a Radio Disney Show, clowns, family dinner and Ferris Wheel rides courtesy of the Detroit Tigers Foundation and Detroit Tigers players. Raising nearly $250,000 in 2014, proceeds from the event support children's health and youth baseball through the Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation, the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, the Detroit Tigers Foundation, an affiliate of Ilitch Charities, and the Miguel Cabrera Foundation, a charity established by Rosangel and Miguel Cabrera.View Photo Gallery »
The holidays are a special time for the Detroit Tigers family, and we enjoy sharing our holiday cheer with others. Each year, the Tigers and Delaware North Company - SportService treat a group of underprivileged children to a holiday feast at the Tiger Club and special evening of gifts and surprises.
This year, the Tigers hosted 50 children and teens from Black Family Development and the Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange. Black Family Development serves families in need and the MARC supports children living in foster care, working to find permanent homes for foster children and teens.
After dinner at the Tiger Club, the families were surprised with a special trip to Fairlane Town Center, where each child received a gift card to be spent during a shopping spree! Families were paired with a member of the Detroit Tigers front office staff and a few lucky families had the opportunity to shop with Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter and his wife, Katrina, FSD Broadcaster Shannon Hogan, Broadcaster Rod Allen, Tigers pitching coach, Jeff Jones and his wife, Paula and Tigers mascot, PAWS.
Through the generosity of Tigers infielder Ian Kinsler and his wife Tess, the Detroit Tigers Foundation, an affiliate of Ilitch Charities, is proud to launch Kinsler's Kids during the 2014 season. Through the program, the Kinsler family invites 20 guests from local charitable organizations focused on serving the needs of children to attend a Tigers baseball game. The Kinsler's Kids program provides families the opportunity to enjoy a special evening of Tigers baseball at Comerica Park. The special evening includes tickets to the Kinsler Family's luxury suite, Kinsler's Kids t-shirts, ballpark fare catering and an autographed photo signed by Ian Kinsler.
The Kinsler's Kids program hosts children and families on select dates throughout the season. The children and families are selected from The Children's Center and Children's Hospital of Michigan.
Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello is helping Team Joseph raise money to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Rick has grown close with Marissa and Jeff Penrod, the founders of Team Joseph and their son, Joseph, who was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy when he was 5 years old. Duchenne is a degenerative muscle disease that mostly strikes boys ages 2 - 5 years old. While other boys are growing stronger and gaining independence, boys with Duchenne are losing muscle function and mobility. At this time there is no treatment and no cure that stops the progression of this disease. In fact, it is rare for an individual diagnosed with Duchenne to live past age 25.
Porcello supports Team Joseph throughout the year and raises money for Team Joseph through his Autographs for a Cause program.
In 2012, Team Joseph and Porcello launched "Strike Out Duchenne", an on-line donation program through Crowdrise.com for which Porcello matches incoming donations with high donors receiving autographed items and the opportunity to join Porcello in a check presentation to Team Joseph at Comerica Park. Porcello challenged Team Joseph supporters to raise $20,000 this year which he would match. The donation program was a success raising more than $44,000! Since its inception, the program has generated more than $85,000 to fight Duchenne.
For 33 years, Gleaners Food Bank has fed the hungry in southeast Michigan. With the growing number of children and families in need of food, the Detroit Tigers saw the need to help. This year's Thanksgiving Community Giving Program brought more than 30 volunteers from the Tigers front office. With the efforts of everyone involved, the Tigers Staff was able to package 60,513 pounds of food in 2,786 boxes that will be distributed to local charities for children and families in need. This was truly a great representation of enhancing lives!
Comerica Bank created the Grand Slam Grant in 2011 to help public high schools in Michigan create, expand or improve a baseball or softball program. Past winners of this grant include Kalamazoo Central High School, Lincoln High School, Detroit Renaissance High School, Cass Technical High School and Holland High Schools. The recipients of the 2014 Comerica Bank Grand Slam Grant included Robichaud High School and Mona Shores High School and each received $10,000 to support their baseball and softball programs. The high schools plan to use the funding towards renovations for their baseball and softball facilities which are also utilized by local youth ball clubs. Students from both schools' baseball and softball programs were honored in a special on-field pregame ceremony featuring Tigers outfielder Rajai Davis.
On April 24th, Phil Coke shared his message about anti-bullying among children to fellow panelists including Joe Torre at a hearing for the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence in Detroit. Coke spoke about his own struggles of being bullied as a child and the importance of bullying prevention. The task force is part of the Attorney General's Defending Childhood Initiative, which aims to prevent and reduce children's exposure to violence.
The Detroit Tigers and Major League Baseball have partnered with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) organizations nationwide to raise awareness about the disease. The initiative remembers the great Lou Gehrig who inspired so many with his outstanding on-field achievements and unparalleled strength of body, mind and character. As Baseball remembered the legend, the team honor all who have been touched by ALS, the disease that came to be named after the baseball great.
MLB and the Detroit Tigers are proud to partner with many ALS organizations for this initiative, including ALS Association, Michigan Chapter, ALS of Michigan, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Greater Detroit District (MDA), ALS TDI and Project ALS.
Representatives from the ALS Association Michigan Chapter, ALS of Michigan and the Muscular Dystrophy Association Greater Detroit District were recognized during a pregame ceremony on the field at Comerica Park. The pregame ceremony also pays tribute to the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's momentous speech. On-field personnel wore a commemorative patch on their jerseys to recognize the anniversary.
The Detroit Tigers Foundation, an affiliate of Ilitch Charities, partnered with Channel 955 (WKQI-FM) and Mojo in the Morning's Time Team Detroit for a service project at Christ Child House in Detroit. Christ Child House provides care to boys who suffer from developmental, emotional and behavioral impairments as a result of abuse and neglect.
With Tigers mascot PAWS, over 50 volunteers helped refurbish the baseball field at the facility, refresh the grounds with new landscaping, flowers, paint and more. In addition to the service project, the Detroit Tigers Foundation donated youth baseball equipment including gloves, baseballs, bats, helmets and catcher's gear to Christ Child House along with tickets for the boys to enjoy a Tigers baseball game this season.

Nice shorts!
These are my first "real" pair of bike shorts. Other than this pair, I just have a cheap pair from a big box store. I didn't realize just how much better these were than my old pair until I had to go back to using my old pair just once...and it was painful! The material of these shorts is really nice - soft with good compression. The wide waistband is very comfortable, and fits at about mid-rise. I followed the size chart, which told me to get a size larger than I normally wear, and they fit great. The only reason I deducted a star was that I wish they had rubber around the leg openings.

Comments about Men's Jerome Toscana Sheepskin Coat:
Interesting Jacket, here what I feel about it:Pros:-On the light side and very comfortable feeling-Has flair (if this is your personality)Cons:- The Toscana fur sheds- The outer side does not seem to be solid, not sure if it will last for years, but I could last. I cannot tell because I just got it. But this is what makes it a relatively light jacket, so depends on your taste.

Indigo Restaurant & Terrace
Guests of the Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona hotel enjoy the real flavour of Catalonia, tasting the sumptuous delights of modern Catalan cuisine with commanding views of Barcelona. The cuisine is so authentic that it attracts local diners to indulge in seared prawns on Catalan bread with roasted vegetables, or Iberian ham on the outdoor terrace. Choose a fine wine from the extensive wine list to accompany your meal.
The Indigo features a bright, modern dining room extending to an open-air terrace. The relaxed, informal setting allows you to exult in the stunning city views. A tantalisingly diverse menu includes dishes prepared with a Mediterranean flair using seasonal ingredients. For lunch try the tempting 'tapas' menu. Mix and match homemade deep fried wild mushroom croquettes, a trio of baby burgers of meat fish and vegetables, or vegetable tempura with soy sauce and crispy langoustine chips. Or plump for the authentic taste of Catalonia with 'Pata Negra' ham from Guijelo with crispy bread and Arbequina olive oil.
A regional Catalan soup, of tempered Garrotxa cheese cream with spring flowers is always refreshing.
Choose from delicious pasta and rice dishes. From spring vegetable lasagne to artisan Cabrales blue cheese and pear ravioli and Sage butter to traditional black squid ink rice with cod fish and artichokes.

If Dreams Were Real: Convergence of Distro and Kernel Versions
Mark Shuttleworth had a dream: the big Linux distros should agree to have version numbers identical to those of kernel components and refresh them every two years. The dream now is more real than ever.
In a lengthy 2008 blog (as we reported), Mark Shuttleworth outlined a plan for the most commonly used Linux distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat and SUSE) to agree to a two-to-three-year major release cycle. The sting: if they were to agree to a common version numbering, it would immensely simply the software and especially the driver development process. According to Shuttleworth, it would lead to a definite positive effect for all distros.
While Shuttleworth considers the biannual releases for LTS versions, the same regularity could be introduced for the Debian releases. The Enterprise distros of Red Hat and Novell could also follow the same pattern. Shuttleworth's suggestions were batted about quite heavily over the last summer among the Debian team, with the outcome that no common timetable with Ubuntu would be pursued: Debian will continue to be ready when it's ready.
However, after the Debian team announced the version numbers for the main components of their upcoming 6.0 "Squeeze" release, Shuttleworth's plan seemed to get some recognition after all. In his March 15 blog, he announced that Debian 6.0 and Ubuntu 10.04 were, in fact, using identical versions of the kernel, Python and Perl, GCC and OpenOffice. Even Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 are likely to run kernel version 2.6.32, so that kernel developers are more willing to nurture it.
Even if this unique convergence were no more than coincidental, there's a great chance that it might have such a positive effect on individual distros to become a stimulus for common release cycles in the future. By current timetables, the chances for Ubuntu, Red Hat and SUSE Linux Enterprise are good in that Ubuntu is releasing semiannually and Red Hat and Novell are releasing on an eight-month cycle. The lowest common denominator therefore being 24 months gives credibility to Shuttleworth's "The Art of Release" theory.
agreeI agree with the first poster, screw ubumtu and all their baby crying garbage. Thats all we need is debian pushing out half baked products like ubuntu, then all of our distros will be as broke and half assed as bumtu. Debian has better things to do, like create a real linux distro.
Rolling releaseI prefer rolling release like ArchLinux. Debian should continue to follow thier own agenda and not be pushed around by the parasitic Ubuntu distro controlled by Canonical.
lowest common demoninator or in fact least common multiple?The LCM of 8 and 6 is indeed 24. But "lowest common denominator" does not apply here.

As of Tuesday, September 20, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
Albany ALBANY, Ga. — Two public hearings on a pair of proposed maps for redistricting the city of Albany's wards are scheduled for Sept. 27 and Oct. 13, city officials say.
Assistant City Manager Wes Smith has released a timeline for the redistricting process, which is intended to bring the population of each of the city's six wards within 5 percent of an "ideal" ward population of 12,906.
The City Commission comprises six commissioners elected from the single-member districts, which are referred to as wards. The mayor is considered an "at-large" commissioner and is elected in a citywide vote.
Two working maps have been prepared by consultant Linda Meggers and have been provided to city commissioners, Smith said. The city is also giving the public and media access to the maps.
The public hearings for general information on the process are scheduled for 6 p.m. Sept. 27 in room 100 of the Government Center on Pine Avenue, and at 10 a.m. Oct. 13 at Orine Hall on the Albany State University campus.
Following the public hearings, comments from commissioners and the public will be taken into account in revisions to the plans that will be presented in November, Smith said. The commission is expected to take up the new map in January and hold another public hearing in February.
A final revision will be presented to the commission, followed by a final public hearing before the commission votes on the redistricting plan in March. The map would then be submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice, which must sign off on any election changes made in Georgia.
Smith said the commission intentionally waited to take up the redistricting issue until after the November general municipal elections so that the new commission would have an opportunity to review the maps, along with the public, and request any necessary revisions.
"There's always the possibility that someone may be elected who lived in the ward they were seeking previous to the changes but would be living in another ward when the new maps take shape," Smith said. "That's why the commission decided to wait and take up the issue in February after the election so that any new members could participate in the process."
Unlike the Dougherty County Commission and the Dougherty County School Board, which recently wrapped up their redistricting process, the City Commission doesn't need approval from the Georgia General Assembly to change its district lines.

I just know that with all the holiday season hustle and bustle, the main thing on your mind is, "Where are all the bugs?"
I just know you've started to really miss the ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes and spiders by now, haven't you? It's officially winter next week and I'm sitting in the woods on Greenbriar Road. Isn't this the way everyone passes their time?
There are at least three other individuals out here wondering about locating insects. On my way to this spot, I found a hornet nest torn apart, probably by a skunk or raccoon looking for eggs for breakfast. Then I hear the pileated woodpecker searching for beetle grubs under the bark of a tree he's chiseling on.
As I sit and listen to his efforts, I see yet another fellow searching for insects. The nuthatch is one bird that I find very interesting to watch as they seem to be as comfortable walking trees upside down as right side up, looking for food.
I have several bird feeders and suet hangers at home and I have a nuthatch that has become very tame. He sits and eats when I'm right there and stays when everyone else flies away. I wonder if he is that tame or just that fearless.
If I could walk upside down or fly away in an instant, I might be pretty froggy too. My mind wanders a little out here in the deer woods — let's get back to bugs.
As you know, the insect world is probably as successful and enduring as any in the animal kingdom. One factor is their numbers and another is the stages or phases of metamorphosis they go through. We usually think of insects as the adult and sometimes caterpillar stage, but rarely the pupa or egg phase.
As the nuisance of mosquito, tick, and chigger types faded in the fall, other insects let us know that change was on the way. Two of my favorite insects of fall are the monarch butterfly and the gossamer spider.
The monarch travels the fields of late summer feeding on milkweed and golden rod as they migrate to their winter home in the Sierra Madre Mountains, just west of Mexico City. This was a well-kept secret spot until 1975.
The monarchs are in numbers of tens of millions there with an orange density of four million per acre. They are an example of an insect that is active all year but travel thousands of miles to have this limited active winter life.
The gossamer spider is the one that makes all the intricate webs to show in the dew in the mornings of Indian summer. As a matter of fact, gossamer refers to goose summer, as the early English called Indian summer. I find that particularly interesting.
I'm also quite impressed with how insects cope with seasons when they can't migrate. Most insects go through dispause, which is a metabolism slow-down such as hibernation in rodents, amphibians or mammals.
This slowdown is in the winter season but different species dispause in various stages. E. Tent caterpillars, aphids, and walking sticks dispause as eggs; dragon flies and cicadas as nymphs; codling moths and fritillary butterflies as larvae; cecropia and tiger swallow tails as pupae; and squash bugs, chinch bugs and morning cloak butterflies as adults.
Some insects — such as snow fleas, snow scorpion flies and winter crane flies — are still pretty active in winter but they, like the monarch, are in a sexual dispause even though most other systems are active.
For some other insects, the winter is spent in the protection of a spun web. These silk spinners include: silverfish, beetles, moths, butterflies, wasps, ants, bees and fleas. This is fairly complex because some of these bugs have their silk glands in the kidneys, some in their mouth and others in their front feet.
We will continue this bug talk soon.

The big question is whether Rep. Bob Etheridge cab keep the frontrunning Dalton under 40 percent. If no candidate reaches a 40 percent "substantial plurality," a summer runoff is triggered for the top two finishers. In January, Gov. Bev Perdue, who was struggling in the polls, announced that she would not seek a second term. Her decision triggered a scramble to succeed her, with Dalton and Ehteridge jumping in the race, and state Rep. Bill Faison, a longer shot candidate who had already announce he was running, remaining in the mix. Notably, a number of big name Democrats including Erskine Bowles and Anthony Foxx declined to run. Dalton led the Democratic fundraising chase and won the bulk of most prominent newspaper endorsements, including from the Charlotte Observer, Winston-Salem Journal, Greenville Daily Reflector, Independent Weekly and Southern Pines Pilot. The Asheville Citizen-Times, which endorsed McCrory over Perdue in 2008, has stayed out so far. Dalton took a light-hearted approach in his first TV ad with a commercial that repeated his name over and over, just like his debut ad for lieutenant governor in 2008. Etheridge's candidacy could be summed up in a single word: education. In fact, he's running so hard on the issue that his first television ad identified him as "former superintendent of schools" and never mentioned his 14-year tenure in Congress. His federal career ended in 2010 when he lost re-election to GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers following a caught-on-video confrontation with a Republican tracker.
