Les Savy Fav is Tim Harrington (vocals), Seth Jabour (guitar), Syd Butler (bass) and Harrison Haynes (drums). It has been nearly 6 years since Les Savy Fav has released a full album of new material. Finding their place in music has resulted in the new full length entitled Let's Stay Friends.
Since forming in 1995, Les Savy Fav has grown into a band considered among the godfathers of the independent rock music scene, releasing three albums (3/5 in 1997, The Cat &The Cobra in 1999, Go Forth in 2001) and a singles compilation (Inches in 2004) that resulted in sales of over 100,000 copies worldwide. Their constant success can be attributed to the overseeing of every aspect of their music including the release of it. Bassist and Co-founder Syd Butler started the Frenchkiss Record label with the goal in mind to release their own records. The achievement of these records has helped Frenchkiss put out amazing music from other equally impressive artists like the Hold Steady,Thunderbirds Are Now, Call Me Lightning and more!
Let's Stay Friends is a record about Les Savy Fav's unwillingness to give up. It's a resolution to defy the forces which wear away at our innocence and enthusiasm. As musicians, the record declares their ultimate goals of being together, writing, and performing on their own terms, loosed from the thicket of the professional independent music business which has grown up all around them. From it's first track- "Pots & Pans" to "Patty Lee" to its last "The Lowest Bitter," Let's Stay Friends consistently explores the challenges of keeping sight of ones true nature of a rapidly shifting world. The band's approach to music in relation to changes it has witnessed in the music scene extends into a sophisticated metaphor all people can relate to about how we marry the consistent with the inconsistent.
The idea for this new record was to take time with it to make it perfect. The whole band (particularly guitarist Seth's Jabour's) musicianship and style developed and matured in their hiatus from the studio and everyone wanted to make sure they took time to leverage the ideas and enthusiasm that were pent up. Starting in the end of 2006 and going for a few months, old friend and recording partner Chris Zane was called in to help produce and engineer the recording at Gigantic Studios in New York City. Early in the writing process the band asked guitarist Andrew Reuland, a friend since before there was a band, to collaborate on many of the songs on the record. In addition to Andrew, a number of notable musicians were brought in- Eleanor Friedberger from the Fiery Furnaces sings a duet with Tim, Nicholas Thorburn from Islands/Unicorns does some back up, ALL the members of Enon make appearances, SNL's Fred Armisen plays drums on "Pots & Pans" and "Patty Lee," Emily Haines from Metric plays piano and Joe Plummer from Modest Mouse/The Black Heart Procession adds drumming that helped to expand the overall sound. The result is a record brimming with Les Savy Fav energy and with a production and sound that is developed to a new level of sophistication and splendor.
The release of Let's Stay Friends will also bring some touring this fall with Les Savy Fav hitting many of the major markets which have hosted sold out shows for the band in the past. The band will also produce several record release shows in their home area of New York City around the Fall release date.

1. What's the name mean?
Answer: Nothing except itself, the band. It's an invented title whose purpose is to keep LSF identifiable as a singular expression. It is pronounced five different ways, depending on which region you're in. They are all correct. Any similarities to the French language are purely coincidental (just ask a French person what the name means).
2. How do you pronounce the name?
Answer: Lay-sah-vee-fahv but regional interpretations are admissible and encouraged.
3. Do you guys want to go swimming after the show?
Answer: (Unanimously) Yes
4. Where are you guys from?
Answer: New York City is the home of LSF – although the band's inception can be traced to Fox Point. (Rhode Island School of Design)
5. What is the status of the band in 2005?
Answer: We're building a sweat lodge and it might take awhile. Until then visit:
6. What are your primary influences?
Answer: HH: Rufus Thomas' performance at Watts/Stax 1973 and the collision of our clumsily outlined ideas.
SB: Motown.
7. Is Seth's dad really a better guitarist than him?
Answer: Uh….yeah. Didn't you see his dad onstage at Irving Plaza?

text: Nephew Sues Uncle Over Awkward Facebook Photos He cried harassment but lost in court By Dustin Lushing, Newser Staff Posted Feb 17, 2012 3:13 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (6) (Newser) – Just about everyone has been tagged in at least one awkward Facebook photo, but not everyone has brought a lawsuit against an uncle for uploading such a photo. Minnesota's Aaron Olson did just that. His uncle posted childhood photos of Olson, including one in front of a Christmas tree, along with teasing comments. Olson was so miffed he sued his uncle for harassment—and lost the case, reports Above the Law blog, which rounds up coverage. A district court scrapped the suit, and Olson's appeal to a higher court was denied. The state Court of Appeals decreed that "comments that are mean and disrespectful, coupled with innocuous family photos, do not affect a person's safety, security, or privacy..." and therefore do not count as harassment. Adds Christopher Danzig at the ABL blog, "It sounds like there's some serious family drama going on here."

When voters endure eight hour waits in lines to vote and get in line in pre-dawn hours to mark their ballots, when hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of unpaid volunteers give up their weekends, their nights and more to work tirelessly for their party and their candidate, when several hundred millions dollars of negative ads fail to fool the voters, when efforts to restrict the rights of citizens to vote are rejected by the courts, democracy has a real chance to prevail in the United States.
Congratulations to all the candidates, win or lose. You have made a great contribution to the democratic process as did the voters who had an unprecedented opportunity to consider differences between candidates and parties.
We are all glad to see this election completed but our responsibilities as a citizen have not ended. We should all monitor the legislative process going forward and remind our elected leaders of promises made.
There is no disagreement that we face serious fiscal problems in this country, now let's remind our new leaders of their need to compromise and solve those problems.

I have always mentally classified fights as 'schoolyard fights' and 'street fights.' 'Schoolyard fights' were ones in which the attacker just wanted to beat you, not to severely harm you; street fights were ones were the attacker might cripple or kill you. Therefore, I thought that you adjusted your response accordingly. A pro MMA fighter and former bouncer told me that this was a bad idea, and that any fight could be potentially lethal. Therefore, you must respond everytime as if your life depended on it. He gave me some great examples, eg, fights between fraternity fights that were near lethal. I'm not sure if I agree, but it does make sense.

Take a moment and reflect to yourself what that means. In your question, when you state "...I thought that you adjusted your response accordingly," you're right on with the above quote. When it comes to defending yourself, individuals have a certain amount of latitude that they are allowed...however if the line is crossed, then you can possibly be criminally charged.
I would be willing to bet that you've heard expressions such as, "It's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six" or "I'd rather have a messy trial than a beautiful funeral" but they shouldn't be taken out of context.
Let's briefly examine your classification of fights. You basically have two classes of fights, one more serious than the other. Coach Blauer teaches that a real fight is an ambush. The 'schoolyard fight' or the classic "let's step outside and settle this like men" type of fight are not ambushes. In an ambush, the 'goodguy' has no time to prepare for the fight and basically gets jumped. If, in an ambush, the badguy gets seriously injured...the courts are more likely to be more lenient in their decisions. However, if the goodguy seriously injures someone who is intoxicated and couldn't fight their way out of a paperbag, the prosecution is going to tear you apart. The second example closely resembles a full contact sparring match. A sparring match can be walked away, avoided, etc....the ambush cannot.
One thing I'd suggest that you do is find out what the laws in your state are regarding self-defense. For example, Texas Law states, "a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree he reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force."
The use of force issue is a complicated one that will be different for each person and each scenario. The best rule of thumb to go by is 'force must parallel danger', but at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do to make it back to your family.....
Good Luck!

Thank you for your articulate answer. I see that a measured response is necessary for legal reasons, but I'm not sure my friend is incorrect.
I'll keeping thinking about it, and I'll check my local laws (good idea BTW).

You should definitely check the laws in your area. As additional food for thought regarding the "legal" aspect, however, consider this:
Most trials would involve a jury, and those jurors are human beings, just like you. In the event of a trial, they are (at some point) going to consider what THEY would have done, and compare it to what you did. What it may likely come down to (which some areas even refer to in their laws) is what the "average person" would do in the same scenario.
In other words, if the "average person" would feel that a person facing two men with a knife is a life-threating situation, then that person might be justified in using life-threatening force in response. However, if the "average person" feels that it is inappropriate to use a weapon against someone who shoves you in a bar or nightclub, then you could be deemed to have used "excessive force" if you pull out a knife and stab someone who pushes you on the nightclub dance floor.
The pro MMA fighter/former bouncer IS correct in that any fight could be potentially lethal. However, this is where the Blauer system of Personal Defense Readiness really comes into play. You need to ask yourself "What happened BEFORE what happened?" (A Blauer Maxim.) In other words, what happened before the shove on the dance floor, for example? Was there a prior incident that left the assailant with extreme animosity towards you? (And thus a desire to truly mean you permanent harm?) Or did you inadvertantly bump into the guy's woman on the dance floor, and so he gave you a shove and told you to watch who your touching? (Which could easily lead to an apology on your part and complete de-escalation of the situation, rather than you counter-attacking with the assumption that your life depends upon you beating this guy down quickly).
Do you see the difference? Can you see how the "potential" for the level of danger is proportional to the level and type of events leading up to the altercation?
In a world where so many people are taught "response X" to "attack Z," this is one of the greatest things that Tony Blauer teaches that differs from most others........ the SCENARIO DICTATES YOUR ACTIONS. You must evaluate ALL of the scenario, and do it on a case by case basis, rather than just take a blanket policy of using extreme force in ANY situation just because there is the "potential" that your life is being threatened.
Does all of this make sense?

I just wanted to add a couple of things to Adam and Sean's excellent responses.
I want to give a bit of perspective to your categories of fights.
What you refer to as a schoolyard fight I refer to as
Male Hirearchical Fighting.
This type of fighting includes anything from actual "schoolyard fights", usually involving inmature males, some name calling then the violence.
It also covers the typical "barfight", usually involving some sort of verbal attack preceding the actual clash.
Hierarchical Fighting also covers the more "honorable" subsets of "Dueling", an old custom that uses a violent act to redeem some sort of offense to one person's honor, and "sportfighting" which covers the entire gamut of combat sports.
And, before anyone feels excluded (read fraternity vs fraternity fights, gang fights, rumbles), it includes ANY variation of the above themes.
The common thread in all of the above manners of fighting, and the reason they all fall in the same category, is that the all involve:
A)Consent- Both participants have voluntarily agreed to commit violence against one another. Or both actively participated in the circumstances and chain of events that led to the fight.
1.Someone insults you, you insult them back, then someone says "lets Go!" and violence ensues.
You can use your imagination here, this could happen at a bar, schoolyard, or even with your neighbors.
2. Two professional fighters agree to fight under a certain set of rules.
B) Preparation- There is a certain amount of time between your awareness that violence is coming and the actual violence. This could be as short as the verbal exchange or trading of insults, expletives, or justification, in the case of school or bar fights; or as long as several weeks as in the case of professional fighters.
C)Ego- All Hirearchical fighting is based on establishing dominance or superiority over another human. In a barfight it's about showing who the "alpha male" is. In professional fighting (although there are many positive lessons to be learned from sportive competition) ultimately there is pride, fortune, and fame, all related to ego.
It's important here to note that Hirearchical Fighting can be very dangerous and even result in death. However, it's most important to know that ultimately it is YOUR CHOICES (in barfights usually a lot of bad ones) that lead you to be involved in this kind of fighting.
To avoid this kind of fighting simply involves making better choices.
This is one of the things that will be looked at very seriously by a judge or a jury when deciding if the force you use was justified.
You must deeply introspect on this. Even if you could win the fight or be acquitted in court; how many fights could you avoid simply by doing some proper intelligence and advance work on where you are going to have your next beer. Learning how to read a room and body language to recognize who the "bad people" are and who they are with.
How many fights can you avoid by learning and using proper defusing tactics?
The level of force is not what makes the difference in classification. Its the circumstances precceeding the fight that do.
You can have Hirearchical Fights in a schoolyard, a bar, a ring, or on the street; but remeber, you can also be ambushed there. Prepare accordingly.
Stay Safe,
Tony Torres

Thanks Mr. Torres.
I spoke with my friend again today and he clarified for me. He said: You don't fight 'harder' or 'softer' depending on the fight.*
He said when the fight is on, you always fight as if you're life depended on it. Where you stop depends on the threat level posed to you. If it's a frat brother, you stop as soon as he backs down. If it's a stranger with knife in his hand, you don't stop until he can no longer fight.
*Unless we're talking about a 'drunk uncle' situation in which use soft techniques like those in aikido.

Daily Journal
RALEIGH What have you been reading lately?
If youre interested in North Carolina politics, chances are that in the past couple of years youve been spending more and more time online, getting real-time information and instant feedback about major stories and controversies. Institutional voices metro newspapers, broadcasters, interest groups, and think tanks such as JLF have devoted substantial resources to serving their growing online audience (even as advertiser-driven media struggle to monetize that audience as a replacement for fading print-ad budgets). Meanwhile, the states political blogosphere has continued to grow, change, and mature. Its expanding circumference includes not just these institutional offerings but also a wide variety of personal blogs and boards.
Political campaigns are adjusting to the new consumption patterns, though not easily or quickly. Its not easy to move from a daily or weekly news cycle to one denominated by hours or minutes. And campaigns cant yet afford to downplay the traditional avenues for political communication, including broadcast advertising, given that the online audience for politics isnt truly massive and remains disproportionately populated by partisans, not swing voters.
Still, everyone can see the direction things are going. Only the pace of change may be debatable.
At JLF, we started some of the first online sites devoted to North Carolina politics and public policy more than a decade ago. Over the years, weve added specialized sites devoted to particular issues and regions of the state, while continuing to add functions to our main sites JohnLocke.org and CarolinaJournal.com. In the coming months, youll see both sites transformed again. JohnLocke.org will add functions designed to guide searches for speakers or specific issues as well as help you navigate the online data sets of state and local governments, as part of our transparency project. CarolinaJournal.com will undergo the most radical change with the debut of Carolina Journal Television, a unique blend of original news and analysis programming weve been working on for some time, and a new Carolina Journal Radio page with a daily program guide for North Carolina talk radio.
Once again, Id like to take this opportunity to thank you, CJ.com readers, for your patronage, comments, and suggestions. If you arent also checking out our blogs, Id encourage you to do so. The Locker Room is our group blog, featuring comments and crosstalk from JLF staff, adjuncts, and friends. Our regional blogs focus the discussion on five of the states major metropolitan areas. All have grown substantially in traffic in recent months.
One measure I use to track trends in North Carolinas political blogosphere is the weekly ranking from the aggregator BlogNetNews. Averaging the ranks over 13 weeks, heres a list of the 20 most-influential blogs devoted to state politics and public policy:
The Locker Room
Under the Dome blog (N&O)*
Right Angles (JLF Triangle blog)
The Meck Deck (JLF Charlotte blog)
The Progressive Pulse (NC Policy Watch)
Squall Lines (JLF Wilmington/Coastal blog)
The Wild West (JLF Asheville/Mountains blog)
Scrutiny Hooligans
Talking About Politics
Public Policy Polling
Carolina Politics Online
Capital Beat (News & Record)*
Political Connections (News 14 Carolina)*
Charlotte Business News (Charlotte Business Journal*
Ed Cone
Piedmont Publius (JLF Triad blog)
Red Clay Citizen (Civitas Institute)
Isaac Hunters Tavern (WUNC-FM)*
Cabarrus Cheap Seats
Of the 20, nine are right-of-center blogs (boldface), five are left-of-center blogs (italics), five are published by news reporters (*), and one is opinionated but ideologically balanced (Talking About Politics). Theres plenty here, and beyond, to suit whatever interests or preferences you have.
So, what are you going to read tomorrow?
Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation.

Beginning July 9, the "I Named a Paint Color" promotion affords site visitors the opportunity to name 150 new colors in the PPG Pittsburgh Paints line. Featured on www.voiceofcolor.com as well as The Voice of Color program pages on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, visitors will have a chance to submit a new name for five color swatches per day for 30 days. New color names will be selected from the entries based on originality and inspiration, with winning entries posted on the new website and later used on the new color palette. Tying to The Voice of Color program – the color platform for PPG Pittsburgh Paints products, based on the premise that every color has an emotional, meaningful association – the "I Named a Paint Color" promotion encourages visitors to post photos of objects, places, people and more that inspired their paint color names.
"We find that people have an interest in naming their own paint colors, drawing from inspirations in the everyday world around them – their emotions, families, vacations – so we are excited to extend the opportunity to our website visitors to demonstrate what inspires them," said Dee Schlotter, brand manager, The Voice of Color program of the PPG Pittsburgh Paints brand. "Whether it's the shades of a favorite flower or the colors of a child's soccer uniform, we want to know what is important to our visitors and provide them the opportunity to have a voice in the color selection process.
"Color names can come from the most unusual sources," Schlotter added. "For example, our most popular interior color – PPG Pony Tail – was inspired by the color of a PPG employee's daughter's pony tail as well as her love for horses."
In addition to the "I Named a Paint Color" promotion, the relaunched website for The Voice of Color program also debuts the Online Paint Visualizer with PPG easy-edge technology (http://www.voiceofcolor.com/digital-color/paint-color-visualizer) – an easy-to-use digital tool enabling homeowners to envision any of the 1,900 colors in the PPG Pittsburgh Paints line on their walls by uploading a photo of a room and virtually painting the space. With just a few clicks, users can mix and match walls, ceilings, trim and more to find the perfect colors for their next project.
The revolutionary PPG easy-edge technology offers industry-exclusive functionality to provide virtual painters with unprecedented control and detail for realistic quality. It considers elements in a room photo such as lighting, angles, furniture and trim to provide virtual painters with the simulated precision of painting a real room.

text: I see that all the time, sellers on flee-markets who ask idiotic prices for run of the mill stuff. Especially boxcamera's and old folders are priced like they were made of gold. They argue that it's old so it must be valuable but often forget that some boxcamera's and folders were made by the millions. The funny thing is that I've seen some camera's standing on the flee-market for years in a row because nobody thinks of spending so much money on a common item. Makes me laugh every time.

Glamorous, Intimate Seven-Seat Theater

2007 CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles Awards Entry:
Best Large Home Theater, Level IV: $146,000 - $200, 000
The video challenge of hiding the Marantz projector in an enclosure in the rear soffit was tedious. There were different elevations on the front and rear soffits. In addition, the design element of a monogram dropped below the soffit a few inches. If it got caught in the crosshairs of our projector line-of-sight it would have created a shadow cast on the screen. The long-throw projector was at the fringe of the minimum tolerance for a 110in. screen. It was necessary to factor in the additional throw distance necessary for the key stoning in order to completely fill the screen. In theory, we knew it should work, but it wasn't until the projector was installed that we were able to verify that our calculations were correct. By pulling the projector back deeper into the soffit by an additional 1 3/4in., we were able to fill the screen perfectly without any overscanning. The audio goal was to conceal two pair of surround effects speakers in 5in. deep columns, conceal a flush-mount loudspeaker under the screen, and create an acoustically well-balanced room. In addition, 12 loads of lighting are managed and controlled by various scenes from the Crestron keypad at the entrance to the theater and the Crestron remote, which also controls the Xbox management.
There were several challenges that were overcome in this project. With respect to the video, as we pulled the long-throw Marantz projector back further in the soffit in order to max out the screen size, we were reducing the size for the left and right prosceniums necessary for the aesthetics, acoustics, subwoofers, and mains. A compromise was accomplished maxing out the room's potential. It would ultimately house a 110in. screen and a 7.1 system that included two 10in. subwoofers in the front proscenium.
Four flush mount-effect loudspeakers were concealed in the columns. The center channel flush-mount loudspeaker has directional tweeters that were adjusted for optimal sound dispersion. It is located under the screen. The left and right loudspeakers and two 10in. subwoofers are concealed behind acoustically transparent material within the front proscenium. The room achieved the reference level of 100dB. This was verified by the Sencore SP295 Sound Pro Audio Analyzer. The theater has a dedicated HVAC ventilation system. The equipment is housed in an air-cooled closet located in the Cinebar area at the entrance to this small, glamorous seven-seat theater. The Cinebar area is complete with a popcorn machine and a mini refrigerator below.
The theater was video calibrated with both the Sencore CP5000 color analyzer and the Sencore VP403C multimeter generator. Extensive audio calibration was done with the Sencore SP295 Sound Pro Analyzer. The extensive acoustic paneling, plush CineLoungers, draperies, and curtains mixed with exotic woods, resulted in an intimate, accurate, acoustically-correct theater.

|Hair removal using an 810 nm gallium aluminum arsenide semiconductor diode laser: A preliminary study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10594625 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Laser hair removal is a popular treatment method for removing unwanted hair. Several laser systems are available for laser hair removal. The gallium aluminum arsenide semiconductor diode (GAASD) laser is one of the newer laser modalities to be studied. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of the GAASD laser system in removing unwanted hair. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with brown or black hair growth were treated with the GAASD laser at fluences of 20-80 J/cm2. Hair regrowth was measured 4 weeks after the first treatment, 4 weeks after the second treatment, 4 weeks after the third treatment, and 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 8 months after the fourth treatment. CONCLUSION: GAASD laser treatment resulted in hair growth delay in all treated regions. Repeated laser treatments did not produce an increased number of vellus hairs. The percentage of hair reduction fluctuated between 5% and 13% with the second or third treatment averaging the highest percent reduction. In all cases, the percentage of hair reduction of the treatment sites evaluated at 8 months after the fourth treatment was less than both the second and third treatments (highest average percent reduction) and the fourth (last) treatment.

Diabetes Self-Management
The Diabetes Self-Management Program provides comprehensive individualized and group outpatient diabetes self-management training based on the recognized standards of the American Diabetes Association. The diabetes education services are offered in an outpatient setting primarily to adults with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. All patients are seen initially for an individual visit (1 hour) by diabetes educator and placed in group class. All patients with special needs are seen individually.
The patient's family and/or significant other are also encouraged to attend the program. Patients who start insulin pump therapy also receive individual instruction. The goal of the program is to provide learning in a supportive atmosphere which promotes opportunities for positive lifestyle changes.
The hours of operation are Monday through Friday beginning at 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. These hours are flexible based on patient needs. For patients with insulin pumps and or other diabetic problems, educators can be reached by cell phone when the department is closed.
Target population
1. Our target audience is the Upper Cumberland Region with the average age group being above 65 and primarily Caucasian. There continues to be an epidemic of diabetes in this country. We have seen diabetes increase to an all time high of almost 22 million nationwide. In Tennessee, diabetes has steadily increased to 8% of the population. Currently 294,000 Tennesseans have diabetes.
2. Diabetes is a chronic disease with no cure and a silent killer with many persons having had type 2 diabetes for several years before diagnosis. As a result of uncontrolled diabetes, many people develop diabetes complications.
Blindness - Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the country resulting in 12,000 - 24,000 persons losing their sight each year.
Kidney Disease - Diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease accounting for about 40% of all new causes.
Nerve Disease and Amputations - Diabetes is the most frequent cause of non-traumatic amputations in the country. The risk of lower extremity amputations is 15-40 times greater for a person with diabetes. Heart Disease and Stroke. People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to have heart disease which accounts for approximately 75% of diabetes related deaths. Direct and indirect expenditures related to diabetes are 132 billion annually.
Dedication & Professionalism
The program provides valuable education and training that allows the patient to control his/her disease.
It also provides an effective avenue for primary care providers to educate their patients regarding diabetes. This allows the doctors and their staff more valuable time to focus on medical aspects of the patient visit. Everyday physicians refer their patients with diabetes to our program. .By referring their patients, they see a number of positive results including:
- Improved blood sugar levels
- Reduced risk of developing complications
- Weight loss
- Overall positive behavior change through lifestyle modification
- And More!
Diabetes educators are available 24/7 when patients are started on insulin or insulin pumps. (Cell phone records available). This decreases the frequency of diabetic acute complications i.e. hypo or hyper events.

Note: I just wanted to say thank you for the super sweet comments! You made me smile and you also made my day. I wish you like the chapters and you'll still read till the end. I'm going to try to write one chapter everyday. But I can't keep that promsie becasue I've school and so much stress but I'll try everything. I'm writing actually an other novel on german so maybe I won't be able to write here. But I'll try ok ? Let know what you think<3
If you want updates or if you want to ask me something, then here's my Twitter : @avonswagg
and you can follow my Tumblr blog if you want :) http://dreamerwithheart.tumblr.com/
I love you guys already <3 :)
(Sorry for the short chapter)
Chapter 4: What is this even about?
We're driving 2 hours now and it's a bit dark now. The sun is covering behind the dark clouds.
I hate winter. But I love Christmas.
And the thought of spending Christmas with Jaden and the others made me actually smile. I mean when Jaden will be nice for the 2 weeks, maybe we'll have a good friendship.
But to be honest, I doubt it.
I laid back and got comfy. Looking out of the window and seeing the other cars driving by with the bright lights. It was cold so I trembled.
I felt something soft and warm on me. I glanced to Jaden who just gave me his little blanket.
I smiled and nodded nicely.
How cute was that?
I mean why did do this? He could also let me tremble till dead, but he noticed.
I chuckled quietly and my cheeks went from normal skin color to tomato red.
Stella, stop!
A voice in my head popped out.
Forget what he did and remember that he's the boy you hate the most.
I shook my head to get the annoying voice out but the voice spoke again.
You can't fall for him.
'Stop' I screamed. I froze. I just said it so loud that everyone was looking at me. Even Beck.
'What's going on?' Jaden asked and chuckled a bit.
Ok now my head was actually a tomato.
'Ehm... n-nothing' I shook my head quickly.
'You sure?' he asked again.
'Yea' I tried to smile.
He looked away and so did I.
That was more than embarrassing.
Another hour flew by and the car stopped.
I tried to figure out where we are and the only thing I could see were trees.
'Where are we?' I asked.
'A forest. This is a parking place for sleeping, don't you saw the sign?'
'Oh okay. No I forgot to look at it. Sorry' Beck smiled nicely.
'Can I take a walk?' I asked again.
Jaden glanced at my quickly.
'Ehm… yea but stay near ok?' Keyla said carefully.
I nodded and got out.
The cold fresh breeze flew through my hair.
I put my hands in my hoodie and started to walk.
No I wasn't afraid because it was dark and I only wanted to walk a bit around.
I felt a finger on my shoulder and I froze.
'It's me' Jaden voice said.
I turned back to look in his face.
'What are you doing here?' I asked and raised an eyebrow.
'I thought you're afraid' he said with his deep voice.
I laughed.
'No I'm not afraid. I like that'
'Mhm' he sighed 'I like that too'
My heart beat just stopped as I realized what he just said.
'Soul mates huh?' I laughed.
'What? Lol never' he said droll.
My mouth fell open.
'What the?' I asked confused.
'I never said that I'll be nice to you'
'Ehm… yes you did' I let down my weight on my right leg.
He laughed as I just said something so dumb.
'I actually meant that I'll act the friendship with you in front of Beck and Key'
I just wanted to kill him right now.
My stomach just turned around.
I felt pain. I don't know why.
How can be someone so heartless? Did I ever do something that he hates me that much? I don't think so.
I rolled my eyes and turned around and went straight to the forest.
'Wait? Where're you going?' he shouted.
I ignored him.
The forest was even colder. I walked and walked without thinking what would happen.
Some noises came but I ignored them. I continued my walk.
Suddenly I tripped over a big tree root and I fell.
My face on the cold dirt. I wanted to get up but then then I felt some heavy hands on my waist.
My heart stopped beating and I thought this will be the end of my life.
'What in the world is wrong with you' I heard Jadens voice as he got me up and hold me tight.
I ignored him again and looked away.
He out his thumb on my chin and turned my face back to his.
'Stella, talk to me' he said strict.
'What I this even about?' I screamed.
'What do you mean?' he holds me even stronger.
I wanted to get away from him. But I barley can walk. So we just stood there and it actually looked like a hug.
'I mean, that one second you're nice to me and then you hate me. I know you just said that you act out friendship. But why you do this? What did I do to you? I'm just a girl next door and only because my best friend is dating the famous bad boy in school beside you doesn't mean you have to hate me. Ok I admit it. I don't really like you but I have my reasons. You beat other kids and you don't have a future. You go on parties every day and you fuck around and oh wait, you smoke and drink. I'm just a girl who thinks that school is important and when I see someone who wastes a really good chance for a good future I get angry. That's why I don't like you. But I try to be nice and I really thought we could be friends' some tears fell over my cheek but I didn't care in this moment. I wanted to show my feelings and let me know what he's hurting me with his words.
'I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-' he interrupted me.
'Shut up!' he mumbled.
'What?' I asked because I couldn't hear him.
He looked in my eyes and that awkward thing was that I actually saw his hazel brown eyes even tho it was really dark.
As I opened my mouth to say something he pressed firmly his lips on my lips.
Jaden is kissing me. Am I dreaming?
I replied the kiss and made him deeper.
His kissed with all his passion and he licked my lower lip to ask for entry. I slowly opened my mouth and our tongues fight for dominance.
I put my hands on his neck and pressed him more to me, which made him groan.
As I felt his hand running down on my back I stopped the kiss and came back to the reality.
'Stop' I whispered.
'Why?' He asked and kissed my neck.
I chuckled and pressed him away.
'Damn Stella where did you learn kissing that good?' he asked.
'Well… I don't know' I said proudly.
As I wanted to move my knee began to hurt.
'Ouch' I said and leaned down to my knee.
'Wait I'm going to help you' He grabbed me and lifted me up.
He was so calm and caring.
He carried my back to the car and sat me down on my seat.
'Stella are you okay?' Keylas careful voice spoke.
'Yes I'm fine' I smiled.
'What happened Jaden?' Beck asked Jaden.
'She just fell'
'And why it took so long?' Keyla asked confused.
My cheeks heated up as I remember the kiss.
'We enjoyed the atmosphere' Jaden said and shrugged his shoulders.
'Okay' Keyla and Beck said in the same time.
'Good night guys!' Beck said loudly and turned the front light in car off.
It was dark and it was quiet.
I felt some fingers on mine and I knew it was Jaden.

BRPD: No parking on the levee side of River Road
BATON ROUGE - People visiting the levees in Baton Rouge to see the rising Mississippi River need to be careful where they park, according to city police.
Sgt. Don Stone with BRPD said for now, people can't park on the west side of River Road along the Mississippi River levee.
Barricades and signs have gone up in some places, and more are expected to be put out in the next few days. People who do park on the west side of the road will be ticketed, and the vehicle could be towed if the owner isn't located.
Sgt. Stone said pedestrian traffic on the levee would not be affected.
"We realize that this is an historic event and everyone wants to see the rising waters, so we ask that you find a safe place to park on the eastside of River Road, not obstructing traffic flow, and walk across the road to the levee," he said in a press release.
BRPD will have officers in the area of the levee to make sure people stay safe and obey parking restrictions until the water recedes.

|Demographic attributes and knowledge acquisition among graduate-entry medical students.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23102104 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Recent changes to undergraduate (basic) medical education in Ireland have linked an expansion of student numbers with wide-ranging reforms. Medical schools have broadened access by admitting more mature students from diverse backgrounds and have increased their international student numbers. This has resulted in major changes to the demographic profile of students at Irish medical schools. Aim: To determine whether the demographic characteristics of students impact on their academic performance and specifically on their rate of knowledge acquisition. Methods: As a formative assessment exercise, we administered a progress test to all students twice each year during a 4 year graduate-entry medical programme. We compared scores over time between students from different age cohorts, of different gender, of different nationalities and from different academic backgrounds. Results: In the 1143 tests taken by 285 students to date, there were no significant differences in the rate of knowledge acquisition between the various groups. Early in the course, students from a non-biological science background performed less well than others but outperformed their peers by the time of graduation. Conclusion: Neither age, gender, nationality nor academic background impacts on the rate of knowledge acquisition among graduate-entry medical students.

Detroit Tigers trainer Kevin Rand, center, and manager Jim Leyland, left, look at the left writt of Torii Hunter after he was hit by a pitch May 15, 2013.
- Filed Under
Rightfielder Torii Hunter is known as one of the good guys in baseball. He's also one of the toughest, according to Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
"He's one of the toughest players I've ever managed, without question," Leyland said Tuesday. "He is tough. He's been absolutely terrific, but he's been on the toughest players I've ever managed. He rises to occasions as good as anybody I've seen so far."
Hunter, like designated hitter Victor Martinez, is having a terrific month. He is hitting .351 in July, with 14 runs, four doubles, two triples, four home runs and 15 RBIs in 18 games. ...

Short description of the project:
We are leaking heat. Fast. Need to increase isolation level of the space.
Free text:
== About ==
It's winter, it's snowy and it's cold. We are using the heating a lot. We checked the gas meter. At an expected price point of 0.38 euros, it seems that (current state - previous state) * price => (22868 - 21640) * 0.38 = 466.64 euros, on the 4th of December. That is a lot!
The plan is to cut costs by investing in isolation. Obvious problems seem to be the roof-windows leaking heat, windows leaking heat, poor adaptability to heat one room and let the other one stay cold.
== Possibilities ==
Please add any suggestions you can think of below. Remember: the point is to cut cost. Not to end up with the most fancy isolation system in the western hemisphere.
=== PU-foam (selected) ===
Can be used to close all open-air gaps for the roof windows
* Easy to install
* Messy
* Chemical
* With lots of cans, becomes pricey
* about 10 euros per can, we will need around 6
* ongoing
=== Door between two rooms (selected) ===
Should help us only heating one room and letting the other one stay cold.
* We have already a door (thx Kurt)
* Takes some work to install it
* Still need some wood and plugs to install it properly
* ?
* Door installed
* Temporary bubblewrap above
* Locks down air movement well
=== Transparent plates ===
Buy see trough plates that are thick enough to trap some air (like double sided glass), and use them as a second layer to provide insulation.
* Will probably very effective
* Lets sunlight in during day time
* Might be a bit more expensive
* How to close the sides of the plates to prevent draft
* ?
=== "Theater" cloth ===
Get cloth just like the black one we already have in the back and seal off all roof windows.
* Will probably work reasonably
* Will be cheap if we can get it for free
* Easy to install and to seal
* We might not be able to get it for free to by
* Might not work as well as we would like
* ?
== Progression ==
=== Plan ===
# Get PU-foam
# Get door installed
=== Action points: ===
* 4th December, at 14:00, gathering at the space to go shopping for PU foam and door pieces in Ledeberg =>
** foam acquired
** door installed
** temporary door cover at top with bubble wrap
* 5th December, at 12:30: foaming
** foaming done partially
** not enough foam
* 6th December, at 20:00: new cans, continue foaming
** new foam available, 4 cans left
** all non-movable sides are foamed
** some foam is cut already
** door lock installed and half a door handle
** todo: cutting and movable parts
** todo: door lock needs to be replaced by other one (directionality) once we have full door handle
** todo: door cover at top with beams
* 8th December, at 20:00: movable parts (requires roof access) and cutting excess foam
** too tired, not done
* ''when?/todo'': movable parts (requires roof access) and cutting excess foam
This is a minor edit

Our heritage and our values are the foundation of our mission to unite caring and discovery to make life better for people around the world.
In our own neighborhoods and across the globe, we work hand-in-hand with governments and civic organizations to improve the health and well-being of the people we serve.
For more than 138 years, we have worked tirelessly to develop and deliver trusted medicines that meet real needs.
For more than 138 years, we have worked tirelessly to discover medicines that make life better. We bring this same determination to our work today, uniting our expertise with the creativity of research partners across the globe to keep finding ways to make life better.
Neurologist and Medical Director, Eric Siemers, MD, explains Lilly's dedication to cutting-edge research techniques aimed at finding innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease, one of the most devastating diseases of our time. As a leader in the field of Alzheimer's development, we're committed to slowing this disease that affects so many families.
Medical innovation is among the greatest challenges in science. For every 10,000 compounds researched in laboratories, just 100 are tested - and only one will become an actual medicine for patients.
The odds are often stacked against medical innovation. And yet, Lilly recognizes that perseverance is part of the innovation process. In fact, each lab discovery offers a learning opportunity – regardless of whether it produces a new medicine for patients. Today's learning can lead to tomorrow's innovative treatment. All the while, we're working to improve the probability of success.
We have a strong pipeline of potential new medicines in several diseases areas. By being selective, we ensure that we are focusing our time and resources on finding meaningful solutions to vexing medical conditions.
Lilly generates potential biotech solutions alongside more traditional chemistry-based work in clinical development to deliver innovative treatments and improved patient outcomes.
Lilly has established policies, standards, and protections throughout the R&D process to ensure that patient needs are foremost at all times.
Lilly's pharmaceutical discovery process develops new potential medicines while proving safety and effectiveness through drug trials and approval processes.

Builder drops condos in favor of townhomes
Keystone Builders has altered its plans for the Verstandig's Florist property on Delaware Avenue to build townhomes instead of condominiums. The local company this week submitted plans to the Town of Bethlehem Planning Board for a 27-unit development.
Keystone gained approval for its 40-unit condominium project in March of 2009, but never put shovels in the ground. There were several obstacles, said Keystone owner Steve Bolduc, including limited options for condominium financing in today's economy. But the most daunting was that people just weren't committing to the condos.
They had reservations about things like living over the home of someone else or living under someone else, Bolduc said.
They also worried about having only one garage available per unit, he continued.
The townhomes would be considerably larger than the condominiums at 2,188 square feet. All would have two garage bays, with space in front of each to park another car. The units would be three bedrooms with master bedrooms on the ground floor, and include fireplaces, den space and a full basement. Each would also feature a small covered porch area.
The townhomes would largely be in double buildings, though there are two triple buildings and one single unit in the plans.
They're a luxury living design, said Bolduc, and would likely be priced in the high $300,000s to low $400,000s.
Keystone hopes to get started on building this year, or the early spring at the latest. The desire to move quickly is understandable since the project was first announced in February of 2008. The schedule will be helped by the fact the switch to townhomes won't significantly impact the layout of the development.
"In general, we're trying to keep the plan as similar to what was previously approved as possible," said Mike Tucker of Inifinigy Engineering. "From a site plan standpoint, it's virtually the same project that was approved before."

Charles & Marie
Not Your Run-of-the-Mill Style Guide
by Jialin Luh on Feb 29, 2008
Charles & Marie has a commendable goal: to provide a haven for shoppers that have "become tired of the global sameness that greets you in practically every urban destination." Says the site in its FAQ section: "Those unique stores full of surprises that you used to be able to find in your favorite cities have almost disappeared -- replaced by the uber brands that spend millions in advertising to catch your attention. This kind of mass marketing has turned local shopping areas into boring, predictable clones of each other." Fortunately for us, San Francisco is still home to an impressive array of charming non-chain, non-big-brand stores when you escape mall territory and Union Square. Nonetheless, Charles & Marie is bookmark-worthy for style/design-conscious globetrotters or those aspiring to be.
From the homepage, there are several ways to navigate to navigate from the site. Scroll down to the "Navigator Blogs" for the roll-over preview: moving your cursor over the thumbnails expands each image to show the top blog entries, a convenient and eye-pleasing way to drive. Entries are categorized into several blogs corresponding with shopping sections: the straightforward "Epicurean Delights" and "Modern Living", "Marie's Closet" – a blog filled with entries for the discerning woman, and "Tragically Hip". I am generally wary of anything blatantly labeled "hip" and while the blog explanation is a little scary -- "This blog speaks to our younger audience (or young-at-heart)… features all the 'trendy' things people want." -- there are definitely some entries that the "Huf" or Asics-wearing sets will find appealing.
"Grantourisimo" names the travel blog kept by contributors Lara and Terry from the road. While entries are written about exotic places, the bloggers make no qualms about the places they visit being of the "luxury" variety, which might be out of budget for the non-money-bags readers, but the blog is inspiring nonetheless. Most interesting and unique is the "Soupe du Jour" section: each day a different product is featured and only available to purchase for 24 hours. Signing yourself up for the newsletter gets product alerts to your inbox before they go on the sale if you want to scope out the goods and get prepared to purchase.
Some of the more interesting items featured this month have included "Pet Pillows" from designer Aaron Stewart's Pillow Pillow Pillow line -- cushions shaped like canine and feline friends with clean childlike line drawings and Konstantin Slawinski's Noooodle: a measuring device with four holes (hence the four O's) of varying diameters to determine how much pasta is needed for 2, 3, 4 or more people, that doubles as a trivet for the pasta pot. Most appealing was a sleek ebony-hued vibrator by English designer Michael Young.
A little research revealed the vibe on sale at Young's own eshop for 65€ vs 80€ on Charles & Marie, though the sparse description on Young's shop – "special offer for latest black sex toy" leaves a little to be desired. Which brings us to the point that Charles & Marie is not the place for bargain hunters.
Marie's Closet section of the web store features some gorgeous sex toys: the "ergonomically designed" Lily "erotic art" piece in several alluring colors ($125). This is not your standard embarrassingly phallic dildo-looking monster but a discrete object more closely resembling a perfectly smooth kidney bean with a smooth satin finish. Moving up the pricing chain is the FU*K LIMITED: only 500 of these silent, steel waterproof babies have been produced and with the classy "Fuck Design" script this makes a great addition to the toy chest if you have $275 to spare. On the more affordable end of the spectrum are the Kamasutra Condoms by Atypyk. Each black wrapper comes with one sex position diagram and every order ($25) comes with 10 random designs out of the 64 collection.
But Marie's Closet doesn't just include sex toys; here you'll also find distinctive yoga mats, toiletry bags, candles and jewelry. The Sartorial Warfare store houses some items of interest again not aimed towards the more frugal shopper. At $455, the Koffski is super stylish though not super affordable. A much sexier alternative to the "man-purse", this Italian leather piece can be worn several different ways with different attachments -- my favorite being the shoulder holster ($130) allowing one to wear the wallet like a gun in a holster. The Koffski itself can accommodate a wallet, cell phone, keys, passport and more.
In the Tragically Hip store you'll find items like the Tube Belt ($45) handmade out of inner tubes from bike tires and black toilet paper from Portugal that comes in a gift tin housing three rolls ($15). If you find black too morbid or emo, it's also available in red, orange or green for those "special" occasions.
Though the product selection at Charles & Marie is not huge, it's the whole site and all its facets that make it an interesting browse. There's plenty here to inspire and room to grow. The "Hot Spots" city guides currently include suggestions on hot spots to visit in San Francisco, New York and London and other features are still only placeholders for what's to come. A forthcoming "Design Bazaar" promises to provide a direct avenue for designers discovered in global travel to reach a global consumer base. If you dislike purchasing ubiquitous products sported by every other John and Jane and enjoy a stylish/lavish lifestyle or just keeping tabs on how the luxurious live, make sure to keep an eye on Charles & Marie.

FARMER, TEXAS (Crosby County). Farmer is on Farm Road 193 thirty-two miles northeast of Lubbock in northwestern Crosby County, in the center of a cotton-growing region. Acting on a petition by S. D. Thornton, in 1893 the Crosby county court established Sonora School District Number Eight in the area. The name Sonora was not legally changed to Farmer until 1913, but the district was always referred to as Farmer, after a pioneer, W. W. Farmer. In 1893 the community built its first schoolhouse, a one-room building financed by donations. By 1951 three other school buildings had been constructed, and the Farmer school district had grown to an area of twenty-seven square miles. The school built in 1951 was razed in 1974–75, after the Farmer district was consolidated with the Lorenzo Independent School District. In 1925 J. A. Zeh constructed a country store, which was in operation until 1965; a gin built by the Murray Company in 1929 remained in operation through the 1975 ginning season. Farmer had seventy-five residents in 1940, recorded a population of forty-nine in 1980, and did not appear on the 1990 census list.

Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke
- Filed Under
According to a local radio ad, life is good in Wisconsin since Gov. Walker took office. I don't think we would all agree with that statement.
Has the debt been paid off? Hardly. During the last two budgets the governor and legislative majority have increased borrowing for transportation. When more borrowing was done, interest rates went up. Spending too much and collecting too little in taxes leads to a budget that is out of balance.
So, what about lower taxes? Unfortunately most of us don't see much of that. The big tax breaks have gone to the wealthy and big corporations.
Isn't there a surplus? If there was ever a surplus, it was because of Act 10, which required public employees to pay more into their retirement fund and health insurance. This was only a short-term fix, however, and so now state aids are being cut to public schools. Some school districts are having serious financial problems and are on the verge of bankruptcy
Obviously, life is not good in Walker's Wisconsin. What we need is a governor who can straighten out our state's financial problems. Mary Burke has the business experience this challenge requires.
