When The World EndedYesterday the world ended.When The World Ended5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
There was no explosion,
Nor did it rain fire.
None of the theatrics.
All I know is that everything just went blank.
When I woke up,
I was lying on the moist earth
Completely naked.
There were no buildings around,
No streets,
No cars.
There were just other people,
Naked too,
Just waking up as I was.
But I knew that the world had ended.
I just knew it.
What I didn't know was
Whether this was the new world,
Or somewhere in between.
And the strangest part,
The what-in-heaven's-name-is-God- thinking part
Is that each person,
Regardless of age or gender,
Woke up with a knife in hand.
We stared at our knives for a while
Wondering what we were going to do with them
When someone,
The biggest and scariest of us all,
Pointed out the obvious.
"It's survival of the fittest
Of course!"
He jeered.
And everyone chorused in agreement.
So all of the people
With their knives in hand,
Stabbed and gashed and thrust
Their blades into each other's flesh.
Until death came to most.

My stomach was hurting for days. Mama said it was probably ulcer or maybe my drinking of so much Coke. But I ate and I ate and never drank Coke, and still my stomach hurted. Even if Mama went to the place where herbal plants grow to get a bunch of leaves so that she could squish them and put them in my drink, my stomach didn't stop hurting.
Papa said it was time to call the doctor, so he put on his funny straw hat and went to call the doctor. And when he came back, there was a funny-looking man that followed him into our little house. He had long kinky hair with white stuff in it and when he smiled he had very few teeth. His skin was brown, and his clothes was brown, and his hair was brown. He looked like mud.

Twenty thousand years ago, a sphere of Iron a kilometre in diameter fell into a star.
Surrounding this star lived a trillion humans on a ring shaped world made out of silica and graphite. It was not unlike the Ark, which surrounded Halcyon and it's companion star. It plummeted through the photosphere, onion skins of computational substrate, atoms thick, boiled away; processing an algorithm only this particular machine, at this particular star and at this particular moment, could solve. Smaller and hotter the machine became, feeding on the energy and chaos from within the tumultuous solar atmosphere. As the last layers of substrate evaporated, quantum fluctuations unseen since the beginning of time realigned one of the broken symmetries that defined the universe.
For a moment lasting less than a second, gravity no longer existed within the star ending 3 billion years of nuclear equilibrium. Fusion ceased as the escaping plasma created concurrent
Wings - A Metroid FanFicThe day was a warm and sunny, the kind of day that the hatchlings often found it tiresome to play outside, and would retreat to the comforts of their homes.

While scanning the hieroglyphs of one such wall, her attention was drawn to a rather large dipiction of a Chozo. Though rather normal looking, the unusual part were the large, impressive wings upon the Chozo's back. And not just one Chozo, but many others were seen with wings.
Samus glanced around her. She was certain Chozos did not have wings. She had never seen them fly, nor did she see any sort of thing that bore any sign that the Chozos were ever winged. She was almost compelled to peek under the robes of a nearby temple attendant to see if maybe they were hiding their wings. Instead, she tugged at the train of the attendant's robes as he passed her
The Kzin-Tzenkethi WarIn the early 2250's, Starfleet reports indicated the existence of a vast interstellar state in the outlying Western regions. No information was known on them, only that only two small entities stand between them and the Federation: the Kzinti Patriarchy and the Tzenkethi Empire. The Kzinti were dreaded as the natural carnivores of space, the only sapient species that sees sentient life as prey. Basically nothing was known about the Tzenkethi, besides that they were reptilian in nature, have a strict rank system and their technology roughly equals pre-Romulan War Earth.The Kzin-Tzenkethi War4 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

Ichigo laid in his bed, staring out the window and up into the night sky, thinking, thinking hard. His orange brows were creased with concentration, and a scowl was set upon his face as he thought.
There was a woman, a fair looking woman, with dark purple hair that fell just past her shoulders. Her eyes were amber, a deep, beautiful amber that held such warmth that it could sooth even the coldest of hearts.
Ichigo's eyes narrowed as he tried to recall the rest, reaching into his subconscious and grasping whatever else he could of what happened.
We were in a meadow, and she was in the distance, laughing, twirling in the wind as it whistled past her and enveloped her in its cool arms. When she saw me she stopped. She stopped moving, going into complete stillness. She hardly even breathed, as if her own breath had caught in her throat.

Technology Profile: Esoteric WeaponryDuring its ancient past, humanity has developed a variety of terrifying weapons whose principles have been lost to history. Found only on relic worlds, or in space junk from the War of the Cog Lords or earlier, these weapons are highly coveted. Those weapons found and captured by the great powers are quickly sent to secret research facilities, where they are taken apart in the hopes that they may be reverse engineered. So far, the galactic community has made little progress on rediscovering how to manufacture these weapons, as all data on them was either wiped by the Cog Lords or is hidden on a processor world somewhere in the galaxy. Those that find their way into the hands of pirates, mercenaries and other criminal organizations are often used for their intended purpose, as these groups are uninterested in replicating these weapons.Technology Profile: Esoteric Weaponry2 months ago in Settings More Like This

1972 Chang Jiang w/ Sidecar
Everyday I find something interesting on ebay. Some motorcycles are waaaayy overpriced and some are values you can't pass up. How do you choose? Hows your 401K doing and how understanding is your wife? or Bank?
It seems that lately I have been on a sidecar kick…I love sidecar rigs, what can I say. This morning I found a very beautiful Jawa 350 with a Velorex sidecar but…at an asking price of $16,000??? Give me and everyone else a break. Then, with a little more searching I found a really clean Chang Jiang rig for 1/4 of the price.And now you're asking…Chang Jiang?
Who is Chang Jiang? A Chinese manufacturer producing motorbikes for the Peoples Liberation Army. The Chang Jiang is a somewhat direct descendant of the 1938 BMW R71 but more closely to the Russian M72, which is a decendent from the R71 with a few Russian modifications. It's a bit convoluted but all three are basic Boxer twin/ shaft driven motorcycles with side cars. Germany is BMW, Russia is Ural and China is Chang Jiang. Here is the interesting part…BMW has progressed, Ural has progressed (kind of), Chang Jiang…not so much. It's pretty much a 1938 BMW. Well, it works for them I guess.
In 1966 they made some upgrades, they went from the type 1 to the type 2. Here's the fun part, when a type 2 needed to be serviced they (the Chinese military) would use left over Type 1 parts…makes sense to me.
Here really is the most interesting little tid bit…did you know that the Chang Jiang 750 is the longest running production motorcycle? 68 years! With virtually no modification. In a weird way thats pretty cool.

1942 Triumph BD250
99% of us know Triumph as a British motorcycle company. Another 75% of us know that they started by making bicycles (very common in early motorcycle manufacturing) in the late 1800's. 5% of us know that Triumph was started by two German brothers.
I was not part of the 5% until today. I found a very interesting old Triumph on ebay this morning. As I was reading the description it said it was German. OK? I looked at the pictures and noticed that the logo on the tank knee pads was different than what we are used do. Time for research.
1886 Bicycles in England, 1902 Motorcycles in England, 1903 Motorcycles in Germany (homeland of the brothers that founded Triumph). Then here comes World War One. In 1913 the company diverged.Triumph Germany became TWN; Triumph Werk Nuremburg
Triumph Germany mainly developed 2 stroke motorbikes while Coventry focused on 4 strokes. TWN built military motorbikes through world War Two. TWN used the 'Twingle' motor of which the bike I found today.
Twingles are really interesting. Two pistons in one cylinder. There are two separate bores, one for intake and one for exhaust but they share a common combustion chamber, a very efficient design. Sears and Roebuck sold Twingles (made by PUCH of Austria) under the Allstate brand for a number of years.
Back to the BD250. It was mainly designed for the military and was equipped with hardware to mount a sidecar, important during the war. It was also quite fast for a 250cc, again important in the war.
The one I found today is really nice and would be wonderful fun. It has had some renovation work done, not museum level (I like that) but looks great. It will probably need some work to become rideable but there again is part of the fun of owning a bike like this. A little side note here, the was nicknamed "the Hedgehog".

1972 Vespa with Sidecar
I love scooters and I love sidecars and when you can get the best of both worlds, what could be better? I found a very cool little set up today on ebay and got me to thinking back to a few years ago that a friend of mine and I went to the big Sidecar rally in Griffith Park California. There had to have been at least half a dozen scooter sidecar rigs there and I loved them all.
Most scooters that are out there are not freeway legal here in California but for getting around town and playing on country roads you just can't beat a scooter. Some of them get nearly 100mpg (pretty important here in Cal), easy to ride, lots of storage space and a VERY HIGH cool factor. Not to mention a very high "giggle factor"!
Scooters can make life so easy in urban areas and add a sidecar to it you can take your dog with you or do a full Costco run. Well, maybe not a FULL Costco run. Even though I have done a pretty full Costco run on my Buell Ulysses (with all the luggage).
We all know about the "lifestyle" culture in motorcycling. If you ride a Harley you hang with the Harley crowd and wear black. If you ride a Ducati you hang with the Ducati crowd and wear red, the BMW group you wear BMW gear. But…the 'Scooter World' is all over the place.
From guys in shorts a T-shirt and flip flops (thinking "I'm on a scooter I can't get hurt"), to vintage English "Mods" style to classy women wearing dresses and high heels. A scooter is totally non discriminatory…just twist the throttle and go. There are scooter racing organizations (these people are having way too much fun!!)
If you haven't ridden a scooter you truly don't know what you are missing, it is a great part of the two wheel experience we all love. You can get off your 200mph Hayabusa, your ground pounding Harley, your turn on a dime Ducati and get on a scooter and I promise nothing will give you the giggles a scooter can. The world slows down to 45mph and everyone smiles when they see you.
So, I found this really nice set up on ebay today. It's in good shape has a really cool sidecar…too much fun.

1951 Indian Chief 'Blackhawk' with Sidecar
All too often I find motorcycles for sale that are way over priced. The seller bought a bike put all kinds of Chrome on it, or every high performance mod you can make, a $3000 paint job or thinks that just because it's old it's worth five or ten times the original price. The sad part here is that there are people out that buy them at silly prices. Just because it's old doesn't mean its classic…it's just old.
And then there are motorcycles that can actually justify going to the bank and mortgaging your house for…provided you're single or have a very understanding wife. I found one today on ebay, (bike, not wife) this absolutely beautiful 1951 Indian.
I have developed an affinity for Indian Motorcycles, OK, I do own stock in the company…got to say that for full disclosure. But my love of the bike came when back in the late '90s when my friend Roger Herbison let me ride his newly restored 1937 Indian Chief. Everything about the bike was wonderful. The look, the feel, more things than I can describe.
In Newburgh New York there is Motorcyclepedia, an incredible motorcycle museum. If you ever find yourself on the East Coast you really need to go. At Motorcyclepedia, there is an entire room dedicated to Indian Motorcycles.They have bikes from every generation of Indians…for better and worse. Models from the first year to service vehicles to Clymer era mini bikes. Everything Indian is there.
Early on there was a great rivalry between Indian and Harley Davidson, mostly based on racing. Win on Sunday…sell on Monday. There were plenty of other American motorcycle manufacturers in the early 20th century but most fell by the wayside and eventually Indian did too. Indian went through many changes over the years and most of them not good. Today, Indian is in good hands. Polaris Industries (builders of Victory motorcycles) have brought Indian back. The classic style and feel are all there but with modern reliability.
But this website is all about Vintage bikes and I found one classic Indian that is well worth it.
First, I love Sidecar rigs and this 1951 Indian has a beauty. Here's the deal with this bike and sidecar, it has modern upgrades but it also comes with most of the original parts. How cool is that.
Click on the pics below for more pictures and details. It was one of the rare bikes that I find that are worth the money asked.
1978 Honda Gold Wing Cafe Racer
Sometimes I just can't help myself. I love Cafe Racers. Simple. A purpose built/modified machine that can get from here to there quite fast in high style. A cafe racer is a function before fashion machine but…the fashion is definitely there too.
A good friend of mine has recently discovered Cafe Racers. He started his life on a Harley Davidson Sportster, all blacked out, then moved on to a Street Bob (a big twin Harley), again all blacked out and loves it. He is a part time member of the "Harley Culture" but he is expanding his views. My subtle hints and sending pictures of cool bikes seem to be working!
I was living in Las Cruces New Mexico when the original Gold Wing was introduced. The GL1000 was at first thought of as a big bore Sportbike, but as we all know, it became the Supreme Leader in touring bikes. Why the change in thought? The original was a touring bike to go up against the Harley Davidson Electra Glide, but the molds for all the touring accessories were accidentally destroyed so the bike was brought out naked and American Honda tried to market it as a Sportbike. Well, the aftermarket (in particular Craig Vetter) had a field day with accessories. In no time at all you could make a Gold Wing as comfortable as a Winnebago. It is the motorcycle that changed touring motorcycles forever.
I rode it back in 1975 and thought it was rather Ho-Hum (I was riding a Kawasaki H2 750 at the time). Fast forward a few decades when I bought my father his Gold Wing, I came to realize just how good this motorcycle is. I started looking at Gold Wings as more than just an 'old man motorcycle' but as a platform for some serious fun. Granted, you can't convert a modern Gold Wing to anything other than what it is but get an old GL1000 or 1100 and the fun begins.
I found a very nicely done Cafe Racer 'Wing' on ebay this morning and it looks very appealing. A little too blingy for my taste but very well done. Pretty low miles for a bike it's age…my wife says the same thing about me. NOT. Some really nice upgrades and like I said, a little on the 'Blingy" side for me but nicely done.
Click on the pics below for more pictures and info. This is a very cool bike.
1975 Honda Gold Wing with Watsonian Sidecar
I really dig Gold Wings with Sidecars. My favorite by far is a '75 GL1000 with a Vetter Terraplane that I saw at the Griffith Park rally a few years back. Picture a Cafe Racer sidecar rig…it was perfect!
So today I found a more sedate (classic) rig on ebay. A nice '75 Wing with a Watsonian Sidecar. Now, it is really pretty cool. It's got a couple of different covers, to handle different weather conditions ands a very comfy seat. The bike has been given some good love but needs a bit more, not much but a little.
If you have never driven a sidecar rig (and the proper term is driving, not riding), what a blast! Your whole view of the motorcycling world changes instantly. Flying the car first time, makes you pull over and check your underwear. The first time you fly the car with some one in the car…well, you're both checking your undies and your passenger is calling a cab. By the way, 'flying the car' means the sidecar is off the ground as you go around a right hand turn. Great fun seeing the look on your passengers face when all of a sudden they feel like they are on a carnival ride!
It's funny, but when you are driving a Sidecar rig, everybody looks at you differently. You're not a biker anymore and your cool factor just went up 100%

I put this in here today because I have a friend that I work with who lives in a 'Retirement' community and does property management there. He likes vintage motorcycles but needs something a bit cooler than his golf cart to get around the community. I think this is the perfect vehicle.
There is a lot of strange and interesting history when it comes to Indian motorcycles, way too much to put here but I love it. At this period in time, post WW2, both Harley Davidson and Indian were trying any and everything to keep sales up. Small bikes, which both companies pretty much failed at, service vehicles (which Harley did a much better job at) and even scooters.
Indian partnered with Lowther Scooters to build up the 63D model. A three wheel service vehicle that was easy to drive, very functional and inexpensive compared to the Harley Servicar. In truth, the 63D didn't even come close. As a matter of fact only 8 were built. The 63D had an either 4 or 6 hp motor, a centrifugal clutch, the 63D had a differential for 2 wheel drive, If you had a small farm or ranch (or a modern retirement community) it was probably just fine but as a true service vehicle…nah. However it is pretty cool.
Lowther Scooters built some of the craziest most futuristic scooters ever…check these out…
I found a 63D model on ebay this morning that is a good runner starts on the first or second kick, shifts through the gears just fine and the lights work. This particular model is the 'high horsepower' model….all 6 horses are there so it's going to be quite a handful! It needs some love for sure but nothing too serious.
It ain't cheap but it is really cool. Click on the pic's below for a lot more info and more pictures. It is a very interesting peice of Indian history and now I'm really interested in Lowther Scooter company history. More to come.
1963 Junak M10
I have always been a fan of oddball motorcycles…actually owned a lot of them, much to the bewilderment of family and friends. While doing my daily search of ebay for stuff I need and / or want, I found a bike I have never heard of before, a Junak?
In Post War Europe there were a ton of motorbike manufacturers, in Poland alone there were Twenty Eight, 28!!, between 1928 and 1972, the Junak is Polish. There is so much history in Eastern European motorcycle building its mind boggling. If you want to learn more about the Post War Eastern Europe motorcycling industry you will spend hours upon hours and days upon days at your computer and talking to motorcycle historians and then it goes back to Britain…and then….
Back to Junak. Junak was the first and only (at the time, post war) manufacturer of four stroke motorcycles in Poland. The best and most popular was the M10, a 350cc single cylinder that very closely resembled the Ariel single (with maybe a touch of BMW thrown in for good measure). Like I have said before, most of the Eastern Euro bikes had their basis on British bikes…who didn't? Well, maybe the Italians?
The Junak M10 is a very simple 350cc single that had many uses. It was originally designed for the military (was there an Eastern European motorcycle that wasn't??), and for touring.The Januk M10 became a very popular civilian motorbike especially with a side car, but also had good success in cross country racing
And, circuit racing (roadracing)
I found a very beautiful example of the Junak M10 on ebay this morning. It is a 1963 with just 400 miles (610 KM) on the clock. It is a first kick starter (most of the time) and good runner. Interestingly enough spare parts aren't all that difficult to come by, there are a number of sources that can still supply you with parts to keep this bit of Post War Eastern European motorcycling culture on the road. Cosmetically it's really nice, going to need a few things here and there but nothing to be overly concerned about if you plan on riding it. The seller is asking nearly $10K for it…is it worth that much??? You decide.

1968 Cheney Triumph 500
Starting a racing career in the California deserts in the 1960's was great! These were the days that on the starting line were legendary names…Bultaco, CZ, Maico, Husqvarna, Ossa, Penton, Sachs, DKW, Zundapp and probably a half dozen others that I can't remember right now. But, also were the heavy weights…Triumph, BSA, Norton, even Harley Davidson (yes, the big motors, not the little Italian jobs, even though there were plenty of them as well) and believe it or not once in a while a BMW?! The Japanese were making serious inroads into off-road competition as well, I rode a Honda SL350 for two years in Enduro's and desert races. And then to add even more fun to these event were the 'sidehack' racers. Talk about nutballs!?
This was a period in time where innovation and experimentation ruled in motorcycling. Off-road racing had the Rickman brothers and Eric Cheney building better chassis' than the OEM, Flat Track had Champion and Track Master, Road racing had their fair share of custom builders as well. This was a time to take a good motor and make it handle better. This may not be considered the 'Golden Age' of motorcycling to some, but to my generation, yeah, it was.
I found a cool Cheney Racing framed Triumph on ebay today and it got me to thinking and remembering…and doing a bit of research. My step-dad's best friend Stan Hughes had a really cool Cheney/BSA single that I thought was the hardest motorcycle in the world to start, I think I'm still right on that one (but I did learn the secret to easier starting…a few years later). I never got to ride the bike very far but I do remember how good it felt. Everything seemed to just fall into place (ergonomics) and the bike steered with almost no effort. And, on top of all that it was beautiful.
There is a good amount of Eric Cheney's history on the web, he built the frame for British MX Champ John Banks' BSA, he developed ISDT (International Six Day Trials) for Triumph from 1968-71 and many other racers. Most of his frames were built around the BSA Singles of the time but also built kits for the Triumph twins. A Cheney framed bike was a prized possession.
Eric passed away a few years ago and his son took over the business. You can still get a Cheney frame built to your specs! How cool is that!
The bike I found on ebay is in very good condition, I don't think it runs but the seller believes it's an easy fix to get it going (weak spark…Lucas electrics?). If you want an interesting vintage off roader this is a good choice. And the Triumph 500 motor is a blast to ride!

1955 Cushman Mailster
Every now and then you simply need a vehicle that will get you to and from the grocery store, the local nursery, or just to cruise around the town and have people looking at you like you're some sort of crazy eccentric. Or, maybe you are a retired mailman and remember driving one of these for your daily deliveries and you want a piece of your history.
The Cushman Mailster is all that and more…or less depending on how you look at it.
Cushman was started by the Cushman brothers back in 1903 in Lincoln Nebraska making motors for farm equipment. In 1936, during 'The Great Depression', started making scooters. Then during World War 2 making utility vehicles.
When the war was over Cushman was sitting on a lot of their 3 wheel vehicles, a lot. Somebody in the sales department was smart and went to the postal service and said, "hey, I've got a great idea to make mail delivery faster, easier and more efficient, it's called the 'Mailster'!!
Well, by the late 1950's one third of the US Postal Service was using the 'Mailster' to deliver your Sears catalog to your doorstep along with your water and electric bills. And maybe the collection notice from Household Finance company. However, the mailmen really didn't like the Cushman all that much. The Mailster was way underpowered (7.5 horsepower), was unreliable, had bad brakes and was pretty inconvenient to load and unload. And, on top of all that, they tended to tip over if you went around a corner at more than 25 MPH. They were so easy to tip over that a big dog (who we all know love mailmen?) could actually knock one over!? But…they were good enough that the New York Police Department even used them.
Negatives aside, this a very cool piece of motorized history and can be a lot of fun for somebody who lives in a small town (as do I), or a retirement community (as I don't). But…There is another idea out there…the perfect tailgater!
Think about this, put a cooler inside, a grill in the back, a keg on the side..you have the coolest portable party machine in town!!
I found this Westcoater/Mailster on ebay and thought this would really be a fun vehicle to have. Cushman has an amazing history from basic scooters, to the mailster and truckster to some very Space Age styled scooters in the 50's and golf carts. This is a very cool vehicle, licensed as a motorcycle. This one is a runner but probably needs the basic going through. For more info and more pictures, click on the pic's below.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Serena Williams is out of the Australian Open after losing her quarterfinal match 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 to 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens on Wednesday.
Williams appeared to hurt her lower back while attempting to pull up short of the net during the eighth game of the second set. She called for a trainer after the ninth game with the score 5-4 and on serve.
Stephens won the second set when Williams, serving slower than usual, was broken. Williams also had her service broken in the final game of the match.
At 2-1 and on the way to a changeover in the third set, Williams smashed her racket angrily on the court then threw it toward her chair.
Stephens next will play defending champion Victoria Azarenka, who overcame some early jitters to beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-1 and advance to the semifinals.
After dropping serve in a long fourth game that went to deuce 10 times, Azarenka recovered to dominate the rest of the match against Kuznetsova, a two-time major winner who was floating dangerously in the draw with a No. 75 ranking as she recovers from a knee injury.
Azarenka's American rapper friend, Redfoo, returned from a concert in Malaysia to attend Wednesday's quarterfinal match.
Wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt that read "Keep Calm and Bring Out the Bottles," the name of his next single, Redfoo stood, clapped and yelled, "Come on, Vika!" during the tight first set.
Asked if it helped to have her No. 1 fan wearing a "Keep Calm" logo, Azareka said, "I was looking more at the part that says, 'Bring out the bottles.'"
Of her game, she added, "I'm just glad I could produce my good tennis when it was needed."
In the men's quarterfinals, 17-time major winner Roger Federer was playing No. 7 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a night match and U.S. Open champion Andy Murray was to meet Jeremy Chardy of France.
Novak Djokovic is already through the semifinals after his 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych on Tuesday night.
The 2-hour, 31-minute victory took exactly half the time of his five-set, fourth-round win two nights previously against Stanislas Wawrinka.
"It was a great performance. I was hoping to have a shorter match … just not to go over 5 hours," Djokovic said, in a comparatively subdued mood Tuesday after a considerably more routine victory. "It's always going to be tough against Tomas; he's an established player. He has a big game, big serve. He can compete against anyone on any surface."
In the semifinals, Djokovic will meet No. 4-seeded David Ferrer.

I highly recommend this service. This was the first time we used Garden Grocer and will be using them again. We previously had a car service stop at the grocery store or had a car and went to the store, but that took away from our vacation time. The $14 shopping/delivery fee was less than both of our previous options. Everything we ordered was received and was packed perfectly, delivered before we arrived and all was the same quality that I would pick myself. The fruit was fresh, the dated items (milk, bread, etc...) all had dates that were past our checkout date (we stayed 8 days), so nothing went to waste. I am a customer that will use this service again next vacation and all future vacations. Thank you for taking a part of our vacation that helps save money and making it simple and wirry free!!!
Our order was delivered on time the day we arrived at the Beach Club. The fresh fruit, muffins, bagels and cream cheese were delicious and convenient for a quick breakfast. It was handy to have a case of water, bottled juices and soda in our room when needed. I would definitely use garden Grocer again!
Excellent service, wonderful selection - especially for local craft beer. Very easy to navigate website. Will order from here next trip to Disney.

Her heart fluttered, then stood still, then flew up in her throat, then grew terribly hot and hurt her, so that she pressed her hand to her bosom as though that might ease it. By the time he had finished, drawn himself up, and struck his foot upon the ground in burly emphasis of his devoted statements, the girl had sufficiently recovered to answer him composedly, and with a little glint of demure humour in her eyes. She loved another man; she did not care so much as a spark for this happy, swearing, swashbuckling gentleman; yet she saw he had meant to do her honour. He had treated her as courteously as was in him to do; he chose her out from all the ladies of his acquaintance to make her an honest offer of his hand--he had said nothing about his heart; he would, should she marry him, throw her scraps of good-humour, bearish tenderness, drink to her health among his fellows, and respect and admire her--even exalt her almost to

DENVER — After sweeping Colorado voters off their feet en route to a rousing victory in 2008, President Obama is suddenly finding those same voters playing hard to get.
Polls show that, despite spending enough time at altitude to qualify for in-state tuition, the president has been stuck for months in a virtual dead heat with Republican Mitt Romney. A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday showed the presumptive GOP nominee actually leading the president in Colorado, 50 percent to 45 percent.
So Mr. Obama played his ace here Wednesday, kicking off a two-day swing through four Colorado cities with a rally trumpeting women's health care. Speaking at the downtown Auraria Campus, Mr. Obama told a predominantly female crowd of about 3,000 that the 2012 election presents an especially stark choice for women.
"When it comes to a woman's right to make her own health care choices, they want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century," said Mr. Obama, speaking at a podium with the sign, "Women's Health Security." "And, Colorado, you've got to make sure it does not happen."
The president was introduced by Sandra Fluke, the now-graduated Georgetown University law student who gained national attention after radio commentator Rush Limbaugh mockingly called her a "slut" for her advocacy on behalf of government-funded birth control.
"We must remember that we have a candidate, President Obama, who understands the importance of women getting access to the care they need when they need it," Miss Fluke said. "And we must remember we have another candidate, Mr. Romney, who wants to take all of that away."
The "war on women" strategy was an effective one for Colorado Democrats in 2010, helping Democratic Sen. Michael F. Bennet stave off a challenge from Republican Ken Buck in an otherwise strong GOP election year.
"Democrats have been arguing that there's a 'war against women' in the Republican Party, and [Mr. Obama] wants to exploit that as much as possible," said Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli.
What may have changed in Colorado since 2010 is the rise of conservative women's voices.
Debbie Brown, a former state Republican campaign strategist, launched the Colorado Women's Alliance last year in an effort to counter the prevailing view of what constitutes women's issues.
Her group released on Tuesday the results of two focus group studies, conducted by Magellan Strategies, showing that Colorado women are more concerned about jobs and the economy than with government-paid contraception and abortion.
"I think a good job would cover $7 per month's worth of birth control," quipped Mrs. Brown after hearing the president's speech.
She pointed to poll results indicating that the gender gap is smaller in Colorado than in other swing states. The Quinnipiac numbers released Wednesday showed a difference of 8 percentage points between male and female voters in Colorado, as opposed to a 14-point difference in Florida and a 23-point difference in Wisconsin.
"One thing our focus groups showed was that women are already feeling that government-controlled health care isn't going to benefit them," said Mrs. Brown. "Women are already feeling that the lines at the doctor's office are getting longer, that costs are escalating, that their doctors are already leaving. Despite the large promises, women aren't buying it."
The Romney camp sent a high-powered cast of surrogates, led by Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, on a six-stop Colorado bus tour Wednesday to counter the Obama message. Mr. Portman was joined by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Colorado Rep. Cory Gardner and former Colorado Rep. Bob Beauprez.

Pattern in Corporate Evolution
By Neil M. Kay
Pattern in Corporate Evolution
By Neil M. Kay
Questions relating to the existence and nature of firms have become major issues in economics in recent years. In this major new work, Neil Kay provides original explanations for many individual phenomena in this area. The analysis is set in the context of an integrative framework for analysing the boundaries and structure of the firm. The book analyses the firm as a complex system in which links composed of shared resources constitute basic building blocks. The evolution of the firm from simple beginnings to complex system is then studied in a number of areas, including vertical integration, diversification, multi- national enterprise, joint venture, alliance, network, and internal organization. Neil Kay's analysis advances current theories of the firm and will be essential reading for students and academics in the areas of business economics, strategic management, and organization theory.

Evening Wrap-up
Some of this has already been reported in the previous thread, but rumor has it that there are a few jerks out there who don't read every comment of every thread. I can't imagine who would be such a loser, it's just something I heard...
For those ignorant non-message board reading unwashed masses, I sadly report that Henry Blanco's brother has been murdured in Venezuela. Carlos Blanco had been kidnapped two weeks earlier and held for ransom. For several years now, Venezuelan players in MLB have had cause to worry about their families' safety back home. Before making news for his attempt to use a machette to, uh, creatively beat out the fire he had started by dousing five employees with gasoline, Ugueth Urbina had to cope with his mother's kidnapping. The personal security measures that Venezuelan players have felt compelled to take since then are eye-opening. Our sympathies are with the Blanco family.
Our sympathies are also with Dusty Baker, if he thinks Kerry Wood will sign with Cincinatti in order to serve as set-up guy to Francisco Cordero.
The latest rah-rah piece from Muskat informs us that the Cubs like their current roster as they enter the winter meetings. As well they should.
Finally, there's some phony-baloney corporate-sponsored baseball awards that the fans can vote on, and that carry about as much weight and meaning as your vote on ratemypoo.com (I didn't link to it, on the grounds that no good could possibly come of it.)
My votes:
Speaking of Wood
Re: Evening Wrap-up
That list of defensive plays was pretty non-inspiring. I would have to go with Ramirez.
Re: Evening Wrap-up
Whatever you do, don't look at the Top 20 for ratemypoo.com. I haven't felt that nauseated since the Cubs resigned Neifi Perez.
Re: Evening Wrap-up
Trans finally comes up with his first post since God knows when and rating poo immediately rises to the surface. what gives?
Re: Evening Wrap-up
White sox trade Vasquez to the Braves:
Vasquez and Logan for Tyler Flowers, infielder Brent Lillibridge, Class-A third baseman Jon Gilmore and 20-year-old left-hander Santos Rodriguez.
see below:
Now what does that mean the Braves are out of the Peavy sweepstakes...does that mean we are it or you think this is one of the two pitchers they are targeting....or is this the trade and the other is a free agent...
The winter meetings should be interesting!
Re: Evening Wrap-up
the braves have already stated that they are moving on and will not pursue a trade for Peavy. this is just further proof of that.
Re: Evening Wrap-up
Vazquez costs more than Peavy over the next couple of years. I'm sure that the Padres aren't interested in him. I doubt the Pads are interested in Boone Logan either.
It looks like Hendry is working overtime for a quality pitching prospect.
Re: Evening Wrap-up
Obviously i wasn't talking about Vasquez going to the Padres....was talking about the prospects that the Braves gave up for him that may have gone to the Padres for Peavy.
Re: Evening Wrap-up
Ah, the internet.
On the one hand, millions of people desperate for change used the internet to help donate over a billion dollars to get Barack Obama elected.
On the other hand, there's a website for rating poo.
Re: millions of "people?" donated over a $billon$ to Obama
Yeah, just your average folks. People like Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii with the following employer CZXVC/ZXVZXV and Uadhshgu Hduadh listed as living in Dhff, Florida employed by DASADA/SAFASF donated big bucks to Obama.
It was an inspirational outpouring. Go internet!
Re: millions of "people?" donated over a $billon$ to Obama
yeah, that 7 grand accounts for a good 90%+ of the money raised online.
i guess most of the money did come from corruption rather than joe everyman.
*runs around screaming about 9/11 conspiracies and impending socialism he read about on the internet*
lulz...internet...i've been there.
Re: millions of "people?" donated over a $billon$ to Obama
Those funds were returned. Every election both major parties deal with this. There were similar stories out of the McCain camp. There is nothing to stop citizens from contributing under fake names or giving more than the maximum allowable amounts. I could go online and donate $500 each day for 10 days to a campaign via credit card. It is then up to the campaign and the FEC to realize later that I gave more in total than I was allowed and then refund me the difference. It's not a perfect system by any means, but for the most part it works. Issues like Dahsudhu are not new to the Internent age, although it does make them more frequent. But the Internet also brings more people overall into the political process - so it's probably a wash.
Re: millions of "people?" donated over a $billon$ to Obama
Those funds were returned to who?
Shouldn't the DN Party try to get their hands on some of them? I hear they took deficit spending to a new level.

Rate my poo? Give me a Hot Karl everyday over that shit. Oh oh oh pun!
Recent comments
I know, man. What a season. 3rd best record in all of baseball, good enough to have won any division other than the one there in.
With a win tomorrow, the Cubs will match their 2008 record. Bad omen, I know. If they do win, the most recent year in which the Cubs will have won more games would be 1945 (98-56), the last time they went to the World Series.
I'll take that omen instead...
"oh yeah, and get the fuck off my lawn. :D"
Ok, now that was funny. :)
KB 0-5 with 8 LOB. Really? He is torturing me with 99 RBI. He is also a very different hitter at home vs. road. I suspect most young hitters are.
Greinke still in for the 8th. 3 up, 3 down. After 8. 108 pitches, ERA still at 1.66 according to mlb boxscore and he's in line for a 19th win.
Greinke 95 pitches through 7. Gives up one run (solo HR to Hedges). ERA at 1.66. Doubt that they will let him give up 5 runs in the 8th.
Dodgers ahead 2-1.
96 wins with one game to go. Who woulda thunk it.
Cubs 96 wins have clinched a better record than any AL team and the NL West/East division winners too.
cubs win, pirates lose...
the curse is now yours.
cog a HR away from the cycle after a single in the 6th.
Hendricks: 15 up, 15 down.
he strongly separates his post-playing career from his playing career, though he loves to visit the barrier of player and fan. many ex-players don't put up this barrier.
he's not interested in going back to the clubhouse or pretty much anything field/game related, but he'll grab a ticket and observe with the fans and visit ex players on "neutral" ground. he's written 3 pieces for the new yorker and other pieces elsewhere. i remember one photo/bio piece he did, but don't remember where i read it (years ago).
I find your comments rather obtuse. He recognized he didn't want to pursue baseball anymore and went back to school to learn how to become a better writer - opening up a new chapter in his life.
I don't know where you find a "sad disconnection" because he is writing about his experiences? He pursued a ball career for a long time so no doubt there is some meloncholy in his tone, but I just don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
he has an almost sad disconnection from the game based on his writings. even though he's "been there" (no matter how much of a minor role) he doesn't seem to feel like he belongs or deserves to belong in the boy's club.
he seems to go to great lengths to enjoy the game from an arm's length while occasionally getting close enough for a high-5 from those who affirm him that he belongs.
I read that guy's article about why he quit baseball and it was really well done too. In terms of Rizzo, I have seen multiple references to how this is Rizzo's team just as much as Madden's and it makes that pick up that much better that we have someone that is not only a great player but a leader and all around great guy (been reading about all the charity work he does too). There is really nothing not to like about Rizzo.
Nice article on Rizzo

» GT Advanced Technologies Management Discusses Q3 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I would now like to turn the conference over to your host for today, Ms. Dianne VanBeber, Vice President, Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. Please proceed, ma'am.
Dianne VanBeber
Welcome everyone and thank you for joining Intelsat's third quarter 2013 earnings conference call. We issued a press release this morning with our key financial tables which is available on our website. David McGlade, our Chairman and CEO and Executive Vice President and CFO, Michael McDonnell, are here to offer you additional detail on Intelsat's business and financial performance. Following their prepared remarks they'll happy to take your questions.
During today's call we will discuss adjusted EBITDA and other financial metrics not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles including EBITDA related margins and free cash flow from operations. We provide reconciliations of these metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the earnings release. Later today we'll be filing the results of Intelsat SA on Form 6-K with the SEC. The 6-K has all the information typically available in the 10-Q. You can find the filing on our website.
Additionally, our conversation today will include forward-looking statements reflected in our current expectations for future industry conditions as well as our business strategy, market trends and positioning and expected future financial performance. Those forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties many of which are outside of our control.
Please refer to the Safe Harbor statement included in our IPO perspectives of April 2013 for information regarding some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Finally, please be aware that our conference call today is opened to the investment community and media, with the media invited to participate in listen-only mode. Members of the media are not authorized to quote, either directly or in substance any participant in the call who is not a representative of Intelsat.
Thanks again for joining us today. And now, I'm pleased to introduce David McGlade, Intelsat's, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
David McGlade
Thank you, Dianne. Good morning everyone. Intelsat's results in the third quarter demonstrate the ability of our diversified business to deliver stable and strong cash flows. At $652 million total company revenue in the third quarter was essentially unchanged as compared to the third quarter of 2012. Our business is performing well although pressures from the U.S. government budget sequestration and to a lesser extent the effects of increased competition in the Africa region are impacting our growth rates.
Our media business delivered solid growth with continuing lift from the new satellites that entered service during 2011 and 2012. Our network services business results reflect a positive contribution of broadband mobility applications. Growth in mobility is being largely offset however by the environment in Africa. Our government business declined worse in the quarter. While the performance in the year ago quarter was quite strong this is also clear that the impacts from the U.S. budget environment and sequestration have to come more pronounced.
The impact of adjusted EBITDA was not as significant because the primary contributor to decline was off network government revenues which earns lower margins. Total company adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2013 was $508 million also essentially unchanged as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The adjusted EBITDA margin remains steady at 78% of revenue. Our contracted backlog ended the quarter at $10.3 billion on par with the prior quarter. At four times trailing revenue, our healthy backlog provides our business with predictability and visibility into future cash flow.
Overall we are reporting a solid quarter that generated strong cash flows, a key element of our two phase investment thesis, which initially features the use of our increasing cash flow to delever our business and create equity value. The third quarter results provide further evidence of our ability to deliver on this strategy as our business generated $333 million in free cash flow from operations. Subsequent to quarter end we made pre-payments of $100 million on our outstanding debt for a total of over $600 million in debt reduction since the beginning of 2013. In the quarter we also made excellent progress on supporting the second phase of our investment thesis, building towards strong organic growth by marketing the capacity of our current suite and our next generation satellites Intelsat Epic. We report on this progress as we discuss the performance of our three customer sets.
Network services posted revenue of $300 million in the third quarter, a 1% increase to the year ago quarter. Transponder service growth was driven by cell backhaul applications in Latin America and enterprise broadband applications. Managed services growth came from new service activations for maritime and aeronautical broadband service providers in the U.S. and Europe and ell backhaul services in Asia. Revenue in these growing applications and regions was largely offset by declines in some of the network services we provide in Africa. Two trends dominated in Africa expecting the competitive environment.

Your Travel Guide To Discover Seville, A City To Love
Explore Seville's Most Fascinating HighlightsA heady mix of haunting sights, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Seville is one of Europe's most beautiful and inspiring destinations. The result of 2,000 years of ad hoc urban development, Seville's cityscape is an exhilarating spectacle.
First Time In Seville? Start Here!Seville is the most rewarding city in Spain and a place all travelers should visit at least once in their lives. It's a great city, but it can be hard for a first-time visitor to know where to start. Here are my recommendations to plan the trip of a lifetime.
Purchase Your Bullfight Tickets OnlineAre you planning to get bullfight tickets during your trip to Spain? While it can be a challenging task, here is all the practical information to buy your tickets easily. Purchase them online and forget about the hassle of having to go to the bullring's ticket office.
Semana Santa – Tradition and RitualSemana Santa, or Holy Week, is elaborately celebrated each year in Spain. Did you know that up to a million visitors flock to Seville for the spectacle? Join Sevillanos to fill up the streets while watching dozens of solemn and incredibly beautiful processions.
Feria de Abril – A Colorful PartySpaniards are known for celebrating everything and anything with great gusto, pomp and ceremony, and none shows that more off than the Feria de Abril. Seville really comes alive in April with its own lavish fair full of parades, horses, parties, drinking, and more parties!
Get Your Sevilla Card Before You Leave HomeSeville is popular… and can be very busy. The Sevilla Card has been designed so you don't have to carry around cash or wait in line to buy tickets, saving you time and money. Place your order, get your pass, and start enjoying it as soon as you get to Seville.
Reader Opinions
A few days ago I returned back home after 3 awesome weeks in Spain. I'm in love! Thanks for all the useful and accurate information that you provide in your site. It has proved incredibly helpful both while planning the trip and onsite.
Thank you so much for making my first time in Seville so special. Your suggestions and answers to all my questions were sensational. Now I just want to go back.
My family and I recently finished a trip throughout Spain. After visiting your amazing country, we can definitely say that Sevilla is our favorite city thanks to your useful guide. We will be back!
The Best Walking ToursThe best way to see Seville is on foot. But even better is to see it on foot with someone who knows the city inside and out. Learn about the city, its food, its history and its culture.
Enjoy The Best Tapas in SpainWith so many bars and restaurants in Seville, choosing where to eat — and making the best choices — can be a bit confusing. But it's a good kind of confusing, if you know what I mean…
Private Photowalk (With Me!)Join me on one of my Seville photo walks. We will wander around some beautiful corners of the city and capture amazing images that will become everlasting memories of a unique trip.
Getting To & Moving Around SevilleSeville can be easily reached from abroad and other Spanish cities. Additionally, it is a relatively compact city, so combining your own two feet with low-cost public transportation is the best way of getting around. And forget about cars because parking in Seville is a nightmare!
Days Out From Seville – Explore More!There's a world of magnificent Spanish history, art and culture just beyond the gates of Seville. So many amazing destinations can be reached on a day trip that you should allow some time to explore other areas of Andalucía. There's a lot to discover.
Take A Flamenco Lesson And Feel The PassionA morning or afternoon spent at a flamenco class is a memorable experience that enhances your visit to Seville, the city considered the cradle of this passionate dancing style. It's one of the favorite activities of Seville Traveller readers and no wonder they are so popular.

Pabellón De La Navegación Pictures
The Pabellón de la Navegación (or Navigation Pavilion) was inaugurated in early 2012 after several years of a total state of neglect. The original premises were built for the 1992 Universal Exposition that was held in Seville.
