Re "Shuttered 2 years, Irvington's Abbott House still unsold: Potential buyers eye 15-acre site," June 16 article:
This headline may have given readers the wrong impression. Abbott House is not for sale. Only the property is for sale.
Using the phrase "shuttered" was unfortunate, as it makes it seem there are no longer any programs or services run by Abbott House.
Quite the opposite is true.
The property in Irvington is now the site of the administrative, clinical, social work and daytime rehabilitative programs and services for the agency.
If the property sells, these offices will have to be relocated elsewhere to continue serving the individuals entrusted to our care. The separate Special Act School building was closed two years ago and the current legislation was a formal recognition of that fact.
From Staten Island to Sullivan County, Abbott House is a community-based agency serving the needs of children and families in foster care, adults with developmental disabilities and emotionally disturbed youth and youth offenders. Abbott House is 650 dedicated professionals, 350 foster and adoptive parents and 120 volunteers, all focused on the singular mission of serving over 1,300 people each year and tens of thousands of others whose lives are touched by those we serve.
From four offices in Orange, Dutchess, Westchester and Bronx counties, Abbott House manages 21 group residences and oversees over 250 foster boarding homes.
Far from "shuttered," we are a thriving human services agency, very much alive and well, celebrating 50 years at our gala in October.

Nanoindentation of GaSe thin films
1 Department of Materials Science and Engineering, I-Shou University, Main Campus No.1, Sec. 1, Syuecheng Rd., Dashu District, Kaohsiung, 84001, Taiwan
2 Department of Electrophysics, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, 300, Taiwan
Nanoscale Research Letters 2012, 7:403 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-7-403Published: 17 July 2012
The structural and nanomechanical properties of GaSe thin films were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nanoindentation techniques. The GaSe thin films were deposited on Si(111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. XRD patterns reveal only the pure (000 l)-oriented reflections originating from the hexagonal GaSe phase and no trace of any impurity or additional phases. Nanoindentation results exhibit discontinuities (so-called multiple 'pop-in' events) in the loading segments of the load–displacement curves, and the continuous stiffness measurements indicate that the hardness and Young's modulus of the hexagonal GaSe films are 1.8 ± 0.2 and 65.8 ± 5.6 GPa, respectively.

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.
"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he's gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn't wish on anybody."
The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2009/10/14/from-the-ap-in-2004-kenyan-born-obama-all-set-for-us-senate/DEMAND that CONGRESS INVESTIGATE BH OBAMA!
Yes, it would make sense for Romney to so state. And even the MSM would find it necessary to report on it!
"Want 23 years of my tax records, Mr President?
Sure, no problem! Right after you release:
- Your Certified Birth Certificate
- Your Social Security and Selective Service records.
- Your Occidental records, including any scholarship funding.
- Release all your school records. All of them! Mine are available…why not yours?"
The liberal press would attack him unmercifully. So what?
If Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy.
For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind: Justice Scalia just turned 78, Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year, Justice Breyer will be 76 in August, and Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago. We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky." —columnist Andrew McCarthy

girls, do you compare penis size with other guys you have been with, especially like an ex? like to yourself if you think about it, or to other friends or whatever.
even though we know it matters that he has to know how to use it, lets say they are equally good or about the same. do you ever get disappointed if the new guy is smaller? b honest, don't hold anything back :)
girls, do you compare penis size with other guys you have been with, especially like an ex? like to yourself if you think about it, or to other friends or whatever.
What Girls Said 6
As long as you're getting your girl off it doesn't matter about the size, its how you use it. Size doesn't mean insta orgasm, it's what you do with it.
do you ever compare boyfriends sizes? or think about it tho?
To be honest, no. Because as I said, it's how you use it. If one boyfriend had a small penis but rocked in bed and then my new boyfriend was huge but sucked in bed... I'd compare whether they were good or bad in bed, not the size of their penis.
i would not get mad if it was smaller, the only thing would be that I would get dissapointed that after a while, if he wasn't using it "good enough" and my sex life with my ex was better..
do you ever compare your boyfriends sizes? like is the new guy smaller, or anything
bigger.. but I guess I mentally compare, but not really
thankyou for honest answer
It's hard not to compare. It's like when you see two cars, you have to notice difference in color, size and other characteristics.
The other answer for me would have to be no. If you have a decent size, it doesn't matter what size was an ex, but if you are TOO small, than it would be a disappointment either way.
P.S. Don't worry, too small are harder to find then an average or too big, so you're probably just fine
If I break up with one guy and have sex with a new guy, and his penis is bigger or smaller, I'm going to notice. In that sense, yes, I would compare. But I'm not going to be thinking much about it or judging either of them based on it. The fact of size wouldn't make me disappointed, but if the sex wasn't as good, I would be.

|Perturbations of amino acid metabolism associated with glyphosate-dependent inhibition of shikimic acid metabolism affect cellular redox homeostasis and alter the abundance of proteins involved in photosynthesis and photorespiration.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21757634 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the shikimate pathway of the synthesis of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. However, much uncertainty remains concerning precisely how glyphosate kills plants or affects cellular redox homeostasis and related processes in glyphosate-sensitive and glyphosate-resistant crop plants. To address this issue, we performed an integrated study of photosynthesis, leaf proteomes, amino acid profiles, and redox profiles in the glyphosate-sensitive soybean (Glycine max) genotype PAN809 and glyphosate-resistant Roundup Ready Soybean (RRS). RRS leaves accumulated much more glyphosate than the sensitive line but showed relatively few changes in amino acid metabolism. Photosynthesis was unaffected by glyphosate in RRS leaves, but decreased abundance of photosynthesis/photorespiratory pathway proteins was observed together with oxidation of major redox pools. While treatment of a sensitive genotype with glyphosate rapidly inhibited photosynthesis and triggered the appearance of a nitrogen-rich amino acid profile, there was no evidence of oxidation of the redox pools. There was, however, an increase in starvation-associated and defense proteins. We conclude that glyphosate-dependent inhibition of soybean leaf metabolism leads to the induction of defense proteins without sustained oxidation. Conversely, the accumulation of high levels of glyphosate in RRS enhances cellular oxidation, possibly through mechanisms involving stimulation of the photorespiratory pathway.

Oracle, Apple update Java to fix newly-discovered exploits
updated 04:51 pm EST, Mon March 4, 2013
Five more vulnerabilities discovered
Oracle has released a new version of Java 7, Update 17. The patch is being released early, Oracle says, to cope with a security hole that is being "actively exploited by attackers to maliciously install the McRat executable onto unsuspecting users' machines." The vulnerability was made public late last week. It also fixes a second, previously undocumented flaw, believed to be likewise connected to Java SE's 2D component.
Correspondingly, Apple has posted Snow Leopard and Lion/Mountain Lion versions of Java SE 6. In each case, the releases bring Java up to v1.6.0_43.
A Polish security company, Security Explorations, today sent Oracle notice of five more vulnerabilities. Oracle says it has received the report, and is investigating. Numerous new exploits have been discovered in Java since the start of 2013; while Oracle has already switched to an accelerated update schedule, it has been forced to post a collection of emergency updates as well, especially as Apple has been periodically disabling Java in OS X when new problems are found.

Cheers! The first ever photo of men drinking beers
We love photography and we love beer. Imagine our delight then when we stumbled across the first ever photo showing men doing what they love best, sharing a couple of bevies.
Taken by the pioneering Scottish photographers, David Hill and Robert Adamson in Edinburgh in 1844, it came just five years after the first ever photo of a person was shot. Using the Calotype process, they worked together in Adamson's studio "Rock House". Here the pair produced over 3000 prints including a wide range of portraits of Scotland's great and good. Alas, their productive partnership was cut short due to the ill health and untimely death of Adamson in 1848. Nonetheless, their collaboration produced several ground-breaking "action" photographs of soldiers and – perhaps their most famous photograph – two priests walking side by side.

Romney: 'Great divide' exists over tax philosophy
Topics : washington mitt romney income tax government support president obama campaign video politics
SALT LAKE CITY - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says there's a "great divide" in the country between those who want to take wealth and pass it around and those who want to earn money for themselves.
In an interview Tuesday with Fox News Channel, Romney said redistributing wealth is "an entirely foreign concept."
Romney is trying to quiet criticism after a secretly recorded video captured him saying almost half of Americans don't pay income taxes.
He says Americans want the privilege of having good jobs and solid incomes.
Romney says people who receive government benefits are likely to back President Barack Obama's re-election because Romney's message of lower taxes won't matter to those who don't pay income taxes.

(Reuters) - A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the Connecticut school shooting that left 26 children and adults dead two weeks ago.
The unidentified client, referred to as Jill Doe, heard "cursing, screaming, and shooting" over the school intercom when the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, opened fire, according to the claim filed by New Haven-based attorney Irv Pinsky.
"As a consequence, the ... child has sustained emotional and psychological trauma and injury, the nature and extent of which are yet to be determined," the claim said.

Larry: "Barry Ritholtz, you're a permabear…why do you hate America?"

Larry interrupting: "But Barry, housing stocks are up over 50% year-to-date, housing is rebounding, don't you agree?"
Barry: "Larry, the 10 year Treasury…"
Larry interrupting: "Barry, the 10 year doesn't mean anything….It's the low inflation rate, strong job growth, and today, the stock market set yet another record…"
Barry: "Larry, the CPI is a fictional creation of the….."
Larry interrupting: "Oh, Barry Ritholtz, that's why we love you. We gotta go now…And that's why, I believe, this economy is the greatest story never told…"

you know, many people will read those comments and not know if that was made up, or the actual transcript!
I noticed that CNBC no longer gives the URL for the The Big Picture web site. Kudlow mentions the blog, but not the name or URL. In 2006 they gave out the URL many times.

Your Guide to Selling Your Vacation Home
How do I sell my vacation home?
Selling a vacation home can be made easy, if you follow some important, yet simple, advice. And, with Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty, you'll have a partner to help you along the way. To begin, it's important to answer a few questions before placing your property on the market.
When is the best time to sell?
Timing, particularly in the seasonal vacation home market, is critical to a successful sale. To maximize your sales potential, your property should be placed on the market when the greatest numbers of potential buyers are in the area. Otherwise, you may experience:
- A much longer time before selling
- Loss of potential buyers
- The burden of on-going carrying costs
- Loss of capital use and interest, which an early sale would provide
How do I set a realistic "asking" price?
Establishing a realistic price for your property is the foundation of a successful sale. An overpriced property is unlikely to sell. In fact, it will help to sell other properties on the market that are in competition with yours. On the other hand, a low asking price may create a quick sale, but it will also give you little room for bargaining and may deprive you of your property's full market value.
Determining the best price for your property involves the evaluation of comparable homes in the area currently on the market with those that have recently been sold. Current market conditions, financing availability, interest rates and other economic factors also need to be considered.
To determin the asking price for your home, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll be glad to provide you with a comprehensive Market Analysis Report and Proposal.
Does a resort area require special marketing skills?
Yes. In fact, every different type of real estate requires special know-how and experience, from factories to office buildings, to a Cape Cod "Saltbox. In choosing Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty as your real estate specialist, you're engaging the service of professionals experienced in the sale of vacation homes.
How does the sale of my home affect my capital gains tax?
Before placing your property on the market, the tax consequences of a sale should be discussed with your tax advisor. Proper tax planning before you sell can help achieve the best possible return on your second home investment. As tax laws may vary by region, it's recommended you seek qualified legal and tax advice before entering into any sales transaction.
Why do I need a real estate professional?
A vacation home represents a significant investment for most people. Without a professional on your side, you run the risk of making mistakes, which could affect the profitability on the sale of your home. Selling real estate has also become increasingly complex and the market is constantly changing. As knowledgeable real estate professionals, Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty has sales associates who are able to utilize today's cutting edge technology to connect with potential buyers for your property in an instant.

A man who was arrested by Bull Shoals police Thursday apparently decided to make a run for it after kicking out the back window of the police car.
David Dziabula, 32, was arrested when officer responded to a report of domestic disturbance on Locust Street, according to a news release from Bull Shoals Police Chief Daniel Sutterfield.
Authorities said Dziabula, who was the victim's estranged boyfriend, forced his way into the victim's residence, attacked her and held her against her will.
Officers arrested Dziabula, and while they were gathering more information, he kicked out the back window of a Bull Shoals patrol car and fled into the woods, according to the release. Authorities arrested him a short time later in a wooded area behind the residence.
Dziabula was charged with false imprisonment, third-degree escape and criminal mischief, all felony charges, and third-degree domestic battery, public intoxication and fleeing, all misdemeanor charges. He also was charged with violating an order of protection.
Sutterfield said it will cost about $300 to repair the window.
Dziabula was taken to the Marion County Jail with bond at $50,000. Also assisting were Lakeview Police Department, Flippin Police Department, and Marion County Sheriff's Office.

"We really loved the house and the location was great for skiing Arrowhead and Beaver Creek. The only (very minor) complaint we had was that the tv and sound system not all that great, and no hot tub. The KITCHEN and master bed/bath were amazing, and the proximity to Arrowhead (and also Batchelor Gulch and Beaver Creek) make this a very compelling home. Owner is great as well!"Guest: Rick E.

"I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to rent such a lovely, well appointed house for our ski getaway! Since this is our second stay at this property, I thought I would write a review. The location is wonderful, and the house is warm and welcoming. The house presents all kinds of opportunities for home entertaining (very well-equipped kitchen designed by an ambitious and creative cook, large dining area, deck for grilling and hot tubing and a wet bar in the rec room and large fireplaces). Being an architect, I really appreciate the vaulted ceilings, lots of light from the large expanse of windows and the thoughtful floor plan. Love to ski but are over the "roughing it" stage. At this point we enjoy the comfort of our own bedroom and being a few steps to the lift, We heartily enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend your property!!

Educational and health services jobs increased by 1,100, as did jobs in the trade, transportation and utilities sector.
The leisure and hospitality sector lost 2,100 jobs, which the agency says is a typical seasonal decline.
Arkansas' October rate of 5.1 percent is down from last October's unemployment rate of 5.8 percent. The national unemployment rate is 5 percent.

The combustion phase within your cylinder is initiated by a spark plug and then the result establishes how efficient your engine works. Your current spark plug derives its igniting power from your Chevrolet Blazer spark plug wire. This is a very covered wire that links your ignition coil to a spark plugthat is pierced in the head cylinder of the engine. This specific wire will transport voltage towards the spark plug that will be employed to fire up the compressed fuel-air in the cylinder.
The Chevrolet Blazer spark plug wire usually has a superior level of resistance to thermal stress, although defects on its insulation can render it ineffective. Oxidation to the fixtures of the part is basically another typical cause of its irregularity. You need to change your defective ignition wire without delay to keep your engine from being damaged.
Find the perfect alternative to the Chevrolet Blazer spark plug wire right here at Parts Train. Quality brands like Taylor Cable, Beck Arnley, and AC Delco are offered for you to choose from.

Staff tweet blow-by-blow account of sackingsComment on this story
London -
Its demise has been widely blamed on online shopping.
And on Thursday the internet caused further problems for struggling HMV - when staff hijacked the company's Twitter account to post a blow-by-blow account of mass sackings at its head office.
Angry staff gave live updates of the "mass execution" at the beleaguered music firm's London headquarters.
Around 190 workers both there and across its distribution centres were fired.
It appears to be the first time that the unfolding drama inside a British household name company has been played out for all to read on Twitter.
The incident triggered panic among anxious HMV executives who were seen marching around the office pleading for advice on how to delete the tweets and shut down the @hmvtweets feed.
The first tweet read: "We're tweeting live from inside HR where we're all being fired! Exciting!!"
One minute later came the update: "There are over 60 of us being fired at once! Mass execution of loyal employees who love the brand."
Another followed: "Just overheard our marketing director (he's staying folks) ask 'How do I shut down twitter?'." Others said that they had been prevented from saying anything about the state of the company before because of their contracts.
One message, spread over two posts, read: "Under usual circumstances, we'd never dare do such a thing as this. However, when the company you dearly love is being ruined and those hard working individuals, who wanted to make HMV great again, have mostly been fired, there seemed no other choice."
Minutes later it suggested the company's official Twitter feed was set up by an intern two years ago.
The company managed to delete the tweets by mid-afternoon, however not before they had been re-tweeted thousands of times. Staff at HMV, which employs more than 4 000 people, have been afraid for their future since the chain went into administration two weeks ago.
There are hopes that many of the 239 shops and their staff can be saved through a sale of the business to Hilco, which specialises in rescuing failed brands. Hilco has already purchased HMV's bank debts, while it is now negotiating to take over the stores.
Its efforts are understood to have the support of a group of music labels and film studios, including Universal Music and Sony.
The industry believes it is vital to keep a national chain of specialist entertainment shops on the High Street to provide competition to web retailers, such as Amazon, and the big supermarkets.
Accountants Deloitte have been appointed as administrators and are overseeing the negotiations and the staff dismissals. It said there have been just over 100 redundancies at head office locations in London, Marlow and Birmingham and around 85 across the distribution network.
Joint administrator Nick Edwards said of the redundancies: "Although such decisions are always difficult, it is a necessary step in restructuring the business to enhance the prospects of securing its future as a going concern."
He added: "We have been very pleased with the level of interest in the business as a going concern." - Daily Mail

When Phyllis Apple accepted a lifetime achievement award from a local business publication this summer, she took the microphone and offered her unique take on retirement. "I started my business when I was 57, and I thought, 'Surely when I'm in my 60s, I'm going to retire," she told the audience. "Then I got to be 65, and I thought, 'Surely when I'm 70, I'm going to retire.' Then when I was 70, I said, 'I'm going to retire at 75, you can count on it.' And then I thought, 'Surely when I'm 80, I'll retire."
A standing ovation ensued.
"Well, I'm going to be 85," Apple went on, transforming the polite applause into raucous cheering, "but I think when I turn 90, that'll be it."
Don't be surprised if she breaks her word again. When Apple, who turns 85 in November, starts talking about her business, you get the impression she might not ever retire.
In 1980, Apple founded a public-relations firm, The Apple Organization, out of her Aventura, Fla., home, with just a phone, typewriter, and stationery. Nearly three decades later, the North Miami Beach company known best for its work in the high-end real estate sector, is bringing in revenue of about $2.5 million. That's an increase of almost 82 percent from 2003, earning it a spot on the 2007 Inc. 5,000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
Apple remains at the helm, putting in 40-hour workweeks as the company's CEO, meeting with her account executives daily and overseeing assorted development projects herself. And in the rare instance that a project is not getting the press coverage Apple thinks it deserves, she has no problem reaching out to the long list of media contacts she has worked with and befriended over the years.
"God, it's in my blood," she says of her flair for real-estate PR. "It's just so exciting."
Blessed with good genes (her mother lived to 101) and a worry-free attitude ("People that worry drain themselves"), Apple says there is no reason to retire. She vacations often with a group of friends -- the oldest of which is 20 years her junior -- and finds a way to make time for the other joys in her life.
"I have everything I want," Apple says. "Why should I retire? I have the weekends. I'm playing golf, reading, needle-pointing…. I'm doing everything that I want to do. And I'm enjoying good health. I'm still very blessed."
As for that promise of calling it quits at age 90?
"Well," Apple says, pausing for a few seconds. "Don't bet on it."

Review for Pawsitive Perspectives Assistance Dogs (Pawpads), Lakeville, MN, USA
I have been touched by PawPADs personally and professionally. The impact I see these dogs have on the lives of those around me amazes me on a daily basis. Folks that come in to contact with these dogs are able to learn/strengthen skills of caring, compassion, humanity, patience, and many other variables that tend to erode over time with this specific subset of the population. Interactions with these dogs in training are soothing to the mind, body and soul. They inspire joy, warmth and growth for their handlers and everyone involved with the development of a serve dog to be.

behalf in case you were incapacitated or unavailable, having a designated POA is generally a good
idea. (Note: In the case of Spousal RRSPs, the spousal contributor is not the account holder. For the

for the account.) Follow these steps to set up a power of attorney on your account:

…………….. "Hey sweetheart" Chad slid into bed next to me and pulled me back against him "I'm sorry I missed dinner" I rubbed my eyes and focused on the clock next to the bed
"It's eleven at night" I groaned
"I know" the smell of whiskey wafted over me "It dragged and sucked" he slurred
"Okay I think you need to go to sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning" I turned round and looked at him in the moonlight coming through the window. His eyes were bloodshot and half closed "I hope to god you didn't drive"
"Danny came and got me" he pulled me close to him "I love you baby" he kissed my neck "I love you so much"
"Okay I love you too but you need to go to sleep Chad… I sent you four messages and left a voice mail and let's just say I'm a little irritated right now" He closed his eyes for a minutes. I moved his arm off me "I'm going to go make a drink" I got out of bed and walked down to the kitchen and pulled as bottle of water from the fridge and sat on the couch and pulled a blanket over me, I wasn't mad he'd had a meeting it was the fact he hadn't let me know how late he was going to be and ignored my calls.
"You have a good day" I looked round as Chad lent on the wall wearing nothing but his jeans
"No not really" I shook my head "Go to bed Baby okay"
"I don't like sleeping alone"
"Neither do I but I was" I got off the couch "You and the others have a day out tomorrow" I walked over to him "if you're sober enough" he pulled me back gently against him
"I'm sorry… I didn't' think" he stroked my face "You're beautiful"
"You can the guys are going for a track day tomorrow, my treat… I have to go check on your wedding present" I tipped my head "I love you" I kissed him "but right now I'm a little pissed with you"
"I know you are and it sucks"
'And we can talk about it tomorrow" I took his hand "Bed time" he smiled at me "For sleep Chad"
"But I want you" he bit his lip
"And I wanted to have you earlier tonight and was here waiting for you , for tonight that ships sailed"
"You sure" he pulled me tight against him "we might not have the piano but the kitchen counter is…" he kissed my neck his fingers gently stroking the back of my neck "I love you Chris… I need you" he murmured in my ear, my head fell back, it didn't take much for him to get me close "Please Sweetheart" he moved my robe from my shoulder and trailed a line of kisses along it. My body reacted to his touch as we ended on the couch together……………
…………… "Coffee" I opened the door to the steam shower and leant on it
"My head hurts like a bitch" He wrapped a towel round his waist
"Well that's what happens when you ditch your wife for a meeting and get drunk off your ass on whiskey" I laughed "I'm sorry for getting pissy with you"
"I deserve it" He took the cup from me "I need to think more"
"Yes you do dumb ass" Mike was on the stairs "will you get your shit together so we can get out of here. Chris gave us a gift and I'm so going to kick your ass on the track" Chad looked at him.
"Yeah right"
"Oh shut up I could and would kick all of your asses" I smiled walking up the stairs passed Mike
"So you show us how it's done" Chad taunted
"Sorry Baby I'm out of here later today till tomorrow" He raised and eye brow "I told you last night I was going to check up on your wedding present and that me and I'm out over night" I carried on up the stairs.
"What's she up to?" Chad looked at Mike
"I have no idea" Mike grinned "now get your ass up here and get ready we want to leave". I Sat on the bed while Chad got dressed.
"Is this payback for me not coming home early yesterday?" he asked as he fastened his belt
"No, I need to get this done while I can" He walked over to me and pushed me back on the bed and hovered over me "I'll be back before dinner tomorrow"
"I'll miss you"
"I'll call you later and make you miss me less" I bit my bottom lip "think about the calls you had from me when you were in Chicago"
"Okay not helping with blood flow" he chuckled
"You have fun okay at the track" he got up and pulled me up and Kissed me in the 'you're mine and I love you' way he did when he wants to make sure we're all good. My phone started to ring with Pink's 'Let's get the Party Started' Chad looked at me
"That's Mir isn't it?"
'Yep" He tossed me my phone "I'll go and let you talk to her… I love you baby remember that"
"I love you too" I smiled at him as he walked out before I answered the phone.

Over the past few days, Imperium has introduced members of their roster starting with Exile as their League of Legends (LoL) team and then followed by Julev 'Heartz' Cayago for Starcraft 2, and Garret 'IPT.Garret' Baluyot for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The final announcement came over the weekend, as former Mineski player Caviar "EnDerr" Acampado was also added to their Starcraft 2 division.
Just like his teammates, Acampado also has an impressive reputation earning him the nickname 'the Filipino Bonjwa', a term used to refer to Starcraft players who have dominated the scene for a very long time. Acampado's most recent win was in the 2013 Vengeance Cup, a tournament where he competed with and bested the top Starcraft 2 players in Southeast Asia.
He has also recently qualified to compete in the World Championship Series (WCS) America Challenger League after he won third place in the WCS Series South East Asia qualifiers.
Imperium's LoL team has also been impressive after sweeping the Pro Gaming Series with a 10-0 streak and qualifying for the Garena Premier League's Spring season.
At the moment, Acampado is the final addition to the Imperium Pro Team, but based on our recent chats with owner Raphael Gancayo and Dan Liamco, we wouldn't be too surprised if they decide to pick up players for other game titles.

30 of the world's best golfers will descend on the Gary Player Golf Course for this year's Nedbank Golf Challenge!
Get Sport24 on your mobile
Ahmedabad - England's Steven Finn is likely to miss the first cricket test against India after skipping Tuesday's practice but pace colleague Stuart Broad appeared to be fit for the match starting on Thursday.
Finn, 23, limped off the field on the opening day of England's first warm-up match with a right thigh strain while vice-captain Broad suffered a bruised left heel during the second practice game.
Broad, however, bowled at full steam on Tuesday and is expected to open the bowling with James Anderson when the first of four tests begins at the Motera stadium.
"The one thing you would say is, if there was a realistic chance of Finny playing then he probably would have had a long bowl today," England wicketkeeper Matt Prior told reporters after the day's practice.
"We'll see how he comes in on Wednesday as well... It's another day, they might be saving it. With an injury like this, every day counts.
"But he looks good, he feels good, it's coming along brilliantly. So we will just have to wait and see."
The Middlesex paceman had been expected to be a key member of England's tour of the sub-continent after impressing in a limited-overs series in India last year and Prior admitted it would be a setback for the team if Finn was ruled out.
"It's a setback. I'm sure the coach and captain would want to be able to choose from every player that's out here," Prior said. "But we have a lot of strength and depth in the squad - it's one thing that's made our squad so strong over the last couple of years.
"If Finny's not available, there's another guy that can step in and do as good a job...that's the way we are looking going forward."

Helen's content 7th Month, a set on Flickr.
This month has been chill for Helen. Now that she's sitting like a pro, she really just wants to sit there and play with her toys. And drool, And squeal. We got her in the high chair finally and she is actually enjoying meal time...as long as she can play with a toy AND eat at the same time. Uncle Harry came out this month and Helen just loved making him laugh. She and Sam often sit together and play and because she's not mobile yet, this works out very nicely for mom. Spring showed up last week and you can tell how happy she was to see the sun, at last. Her hair is spectacular. It's less princess Mohawk and more Rod Stewart every day. Most of the pictures are taken after wearing a winter hat or a summer hat...but more to come with the full do. And btw, I clearly need to learn how to take the month by month shots...because she just wants to eat the paper.

We're launching the Games Dashboard and the Applications Dashboard in the coming weeks to make it easier for users to interact with your applications and provide you with new communication channels accessible to all users from the home page. Later today, we're updating the Dashboard API and opening up the Applications Dashboard sandbox and the Games Dashboard sandbox so that you can begin integrating your applications to ensure that your users will see personalized and interesting content from you in their dashboards when they go live. Get started populating the dashboards by visiting the sandboxes today.
With the Games and Applications Dashboards come several new features, including:
- Recently used applications and games: The top section of the dashboards will prominently display applications that a user has recently interacted with, making it easy to reengage with the applications they use most often. This section will also include a link to a page where users can see all of the applications they have interacted with, whether or not they have been bookmarked.
- News items: Applications will have the ability to display news stories, giving you the ability to communicate with your users and alert them to news related to your application, such as, "It's your turn in a game against Jared" or "The leaderboard was reset 6 hours ago, come play!" You'll have the option to set global news items, which will be visible to all users, or personal news items, which target a specific user. The news component will appear as a text field next to each application in the dashboard.
- Mentioning Users: Using simple syntax, you can render users' names and links to their profiles in news and activities.
- Your Friends' Recent Activity: The dashboards will display some of the applications that a user's friends are using along with information about relevant activities within the application. You'll set these activity stories via the Dashboard API.
- Your Friends Play: Another way we'll help users discover new applications is by showing them a number of their friends who frequently use applications, and the applications those friends use.
- Directory: The Directory section of the dashboard will show the applications that currently appear in the "Applications You May Like" section of the Application Directory. We will also link to the Application Directory in this section.
- Suggestions: On the right hand side we'll have a Suggestions area where Facebook will highlight applications we think users might like, based on the applications they and their friends are using.
- Counters and home page placement: "Games" and "Applications" links will appear on users' home pages and will link to the dashboards, once the new home page launches to users in the coming weeks. Bookmarked applications will also have prominence on the home page, and can be accompanied by Counters that you can set to let users know there are actions for them to take within your applications.
The Games Dashboard (image below) will include any application categorized as a game (if you submitted it to the Application Directory as a game), while non-game applications will appear in the Applications Dashboard. Additionally, all application links in the dashboards will direct to the application's canvas page or info page (depending on whether a user has used the application before).
Note: This design is preliminary and subject to change.
Read more about the dashboards on our Developer Wiki. As always, please share your feedback with us in the Developer Forum, and check the Developer Roadmap frequently for the latest information on updates to Facebook Platform.

Embassy News 2005
Export Control And Related Border Security
May 18, 2005
On May 18,2005, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, through its Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance Program (EXBS), granted to the GOAM Border Guards and National Security Service, a new state of the art checkpoint facility at the Bagratashen border with Georgia . U.S. Ambassador John M. Evans officially transferred the newly built and equipped facility to Deputy Foreign Minister Aram Kirakossian.
The U.S. Government invested over $200,000 dollars to provide the Armenian government with a modern checkpoint facility been outfitted with several computers and monitoring systems to track the movement of goods and people at the busy border crossing. In the near future, EXBS plans to grant and install radiation detection and monitoring equipment to help guard against the illegal transport of dangerous materials that could be used in weapons of mass destruction.
The Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance Program, administered by the Department of State and the US Homeland Security Agency, has been operating in Armenia since the year 2000. The EXBS Program currently operates in more than 27 countries, and is designed to strengthen and secure national borders by providing the latest in interdiction equipment, and by developing the enforcement skills of both the Border Guards and Customs Service in the fight against worldwide terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and chemical and biological warfare agents.
The EXBS Program for Armenia continues to conduct formal training seminars both locally and in the United States in order to provide Border Guards and Customs Inspectors with the advanced techniques of investigation necessary to identify sophisticated nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
Over the last several years the EXBS Assistance Program has equipped the Border Guards and Customs Services of Armenia with various types of inspection and detection equipment: a radio-communication system, several types of border sensors, metal detectors, vehicles, computer equipment, cargo truck scales, and X-ray units. Last year,in addition to the project at Bagratashen, the EXBS Assistance Program provided construction funding to upgrade the Border Guards barracks at the Gogavan Port of Entry, and both Border Guard and Customs training facilities in Yerevan.

Blast shatters windows, ruins shops in BaghdadComment on this story
Baghdad - A parked car bomb blew up near a crowded Baghdad market on Tuesday night, killing at least 14 people and bringing the day's total death toll in political violence around Iraq to 27, security and medical sources said.
The bomb went off in a side street in the Shi'a district of Karaada in eastern Baghdad. It set cars on fire, shattered windows, tore apart stalls and demolished some storefronts.
Security forces fired off a fusillade of warning shots in the blast's aftermath. At least 14 people were killed and 45 wounded, medical and security officials said.
Baghdad has been hit by wave after wave of bombings since April as the precarious peace enjoyed since the end of Iraq's sectarian war in 2008 has unravelled.
In western Anbar province, where government forces are fighting rebellious Sunni tribes and an al-Qaeda splinter group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, three soldiers were killed and 18 others wounded when a car bomb rammed into the entrance of the governor's compound in the provincial capital Ramadi, according to medical and security sources.
Elsewhere, gunmen speeding in a car killed four policemen by a police checkpoint west of the oil refinery town of Baiji in northern Iraq. Most Sunni areas in central and northern Iraq have seen violence erupt as relations between the Shi'a-led government in Baghdad and the Sunni minority have deteriorated.
In the town of Himreen in eastern Diyala province, riven by sectarian violence since last summer, a car bomb went off near a crowded market and killed three people, police sources said. Another three young men were killed when gunmen opened fire on them in Diyala's capital Baquba, police said. - Reuters
