Next Monday, Redskins Park will be abuzz as organized team activities (OTAs) get underway. For the first time since January, the parking lots will be completely full. The practice fields, weight and locker rooms will be, too, as coaches, veteran players and prospects officially begin their preparations for the 2013 NFL season.
In the meantime, we're going to address some of the offseason-related questions we're hearing from fans. Up today...
Question: Who's going to win the competition at right tackle?
Anwser: In March, Tyler Polumbus visited Jacksonville and left with a contract offer. A couple of days days later, though, he re-signed for two seasons with the Redskins.
Do you think Polumbus would have spurned the Jaguars – a team where he had connections to a few key coaches – if he believed he might lose his job in Washington to Jeremy Trueblood or Tony Pashos, veteran right tackles who had signed as free agents a few days earlier?
Yeah, we don't think so, either.
"Ultimately, we decided D.C. is where we needed to be," Polumbus told CSNWashington.com in March. Coach Mike "Shanahan has always been good to me. I think he provides me with the best opportunity to be the right tackle I know I can be."
Polumbus has been on a Shanahan coached team in four of his five NFL seasons, dating back to 2008 when he was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent. And last season, the 28-year-old also started 15 games along an offensive line that paved the way for the NFL's top rushing offense.
He did struggle in pass protection in 2012, his first season as a fulltime starter. But he also impressed the coaching staff with his work ethic as well as the improvement he displayed throughout the season. Shanahan also values continuity along the O-line; with Polumbus in the fold, all five starters from '12 remain in place. It should also be noted that Shanahan did not draft a tackle last month in a draft that was deep at the position.
That's not to say Polumbus can't get beaten out by Trueblood or Pashos. Competition within a team is a key component to success in the NFL – and there's definitely going to be a competition at right tackle over the next few months.
But it also seems clear that Polumbus is set to enter OTAs next week on the inside track to reclaiming his job.
Best-case scenario: Polumbus wins the job, continues to become more consistent from game-to-game and gets better in pass protection.
Worst-case scenario: Polumbus struggles and neither Trueblood nor Pashos are the answer, either.

Forecast for China Oil Imports Is Reduced Slightly by the IEA
China will use slightly less oil this year than previously expected, although its demand will grow by 3.8%, the International Energy Agency forecast Wednesday.
The news is significant for world oil markets as China, the world's second-largest oil consumer, underpins global crude prices because of its heavy import dependency. In January, the Chinese government said around 56% of the oil used by the country was imported.

I'm trying to setup a Rails 3 application behind an Apache2 webserver which is acting as a proxy. The Apache webserver is running on port 8080, and if I make a call to the http://ip:8080, I see the request in the mongrel window, so the proxy properly relays the incomming requests to the mongrel servers.
However, my index page performs a redirect to the login if no username exists. So i make the following call : http://:8080/app , but the redirect goes to http:///session/new instead of http:///app/sessio/new i'm not really sure that the apache is badly configured, i'm more doubting about rails 3.
Below is the config of my apache for this proxy stuff, my routes.rb file and some code I found for a potential rverse proxy fix, but it doesn't seem to work.
module ActionController
ActionController::Base.asset_host= BASE_URL
class UrlRewriter
# alias old_rewrite_url rewrite_url
# Prepends the BASE_URL to all of the URL requests created by the
# URL rewriter in Rails.
def rewrite_url(path, options)
url = old_rewrite_url(path, options)
url = url.gsub(@request.protocol + @request.host_with_port, '')
url = BASE_URL + url
Apache2 config
# This file contains the proxy settings for apache to map all the incomming requests for a specific application to the relevant mongrel
# web server that is able to handle the incoming requests.

I also like to mnetion that the apache is running on a Windows Server 2008R2 x64 system, and that the rails applications are running inside a Mongrel server on the same system ranging from port 4000 -> 4010. I hope someone can help me sort this reverse proxy thing.
EDIT: I've updated the config.ru file to run the application from the same subfolder domain as the proxy would do, and that allows me to see the views etc, but still missing the stylesheets and images.
Mongrel receives the following:

And if I browse to the stylsheets directly, I can see them.

Wow! We are excited. Not only are these amazing readings by some of today's strongest emerging talents in literary fiction and poetry--just check out the readings by Harmony Holiday, Dan DeWeese, and Garrick Davis, to take your breath away!--they represent some of the finest work being produced by the nation's best presses committed to discovering new talent: presses like Four Way Books, Fence Books, Wave Books, Noemi Press, and many others on the leading edge of innovative writing. These videos were all recorded exclusively at the request of the Huffington Post, and the writers also generously shared personal statements to introduce their work--words that can't fail to inspire emerging writers hoping to make their own breakthrough. To paraphrase Rebecca Wolff of Fence Books, don't let the awesome coolness of these readings interfere with appreciation of the fine literary quality!
My first collection of poems, Negro League Baseball (to be released by Fence this May) is my attempt to clear a field/invent a field/disassemble or spin-out the field negro/house negro binary. The spectral shadow of my father (Jimmy Holiday, a northern soul singer and song writer) is cast across the entire work, as the text's guiding ethic still places me with my chin in my hands crooking my neck to watch him make music, until he got so exhausted he would nod off, allowing me to rest my gaze. In this way much of Negro League places me in the emancipated spectator role, and much of it is a new take on the "blindfold test"; me feeling my way around in the room of his legacy and its impact, trying to name the sights and sounds, trying to knock down a wall to make space for my own adjacent room and acoustic. It is reconciliation without reconciliation. I had to invent an impossible/mythorealistic place wherein he and I could have and insinuate the conversations he and I never got to finish in this realm, a place not too drastic, but not too casual either. From this place (which became a kind of refuge or haven) emerged meditations on what it means to be a black artist, and just an artist, period, in the United States. I noticed how large a role collective improvisation (even if just with me and my imagined self) plays in my own creative process. I thought about what the entertainment industry has done to turn the drive to improvise in all of the arts, into a threat to revenue, thus encouraging fixed mechanically reproducible commodities, as this society does in most of its industries. I wondered if that was for fear that histories can be reclaimed by way of the riffing that improvisers master, a lie cannot live through that level of disciplined intimacy. And so I wanted to build a body (of work) that proved this, not in its metaphysics, but physically, by its very being in time and space. I wanted to show that such work would not compromise relevancy or candor or rigor. In keeping with this desire, my reading here includes samples of archival materials and music, expanding on the poems as they exist on the page, but still privileging them members of the community of sounds and images to which they belong, from here into the antiquefuture.
Apologia Pro Literati Vita These dark, mechanical things-- These half-prophetic mutterings Conceived in my car To conjure a kind of futuristic noir Were meant to sound the world's great end Or shut all the nightmares in-- As if words could still eclipse Each day's same, stale apocalypse.
You Don't Love This Man, a novel: by Dan DeWeese available March 1, 2011 from Harper Perennial
Wildlflower. Stone. spans the desertscapes of El Paso , Texas and southern New Mexico--to the waterscapes of The Texas Gulf Coast--Rockport, Corpus Christi , and Port Aransas, Fishermen. / The piers / are full of them. Widlflower. Stone. begins in a universal place of water, where I believe / we were all born--in a poem that calls up Wallace Stevens in its first line, Through this blue guitar / the unconscious river sings. The first section, Anything that Grows by the Sea has Secrets, covers geographies from Southern California--San Diego and La Jolla's burgeoning backdrop of tropical flowers, / bourgeoning backdrop of bougainvillea, / of water-hyacinth and sea-salt--to the Guadalupe River in Gruene, Texas, outside San Antonio--Later, in the second of three sections, the mention of El Paso's Rio Bravo--Brave River / Rio Grande--Big River; it claims / Mexico begins where we end / at the other shoulder of water / a skip of a rock away. The centerpoint is section II, a 40-page poem in four movements. The poem travels--Central Texas, the start point--The Texas Hill Country/San Antonio, from which the journey is made from green foliage to the arid lands of West Texas--14the start point is returned to--then taking us out to the Texas Coast. The juxtaposition of desert and water is central to the exploration of just how many geographies can define us, the equal importance of more than one place, more than one geography of home--this love affair with more than one geosphere--Possible to have / two lovers. These are contemplative, quiet poems that I pray hold elucidating truths. The title balances that which springs up in self-propagation and is cyclical, with that which is solid and non-cyclical. I believe these are poems of worship.
I wrote The Bigger World in under fifty days, out of a deep need to get away from writing about myself and my grief over my husband's death. My former roommate, Adam Skalman, got me to watch all of the series, Dawson's Creek, and I found it was some of the best T.V. writing imaginable, as well as being highly entertaining. We watched all of the DVD's over the span of about a month, after which I decided I would try to write a novel. My friend Lizzette was visiting, and I knew this would foreshadow some real creativity, as it had in the past when she would visit my husband Damon and I while we were living in Brooklyn. She left on July 1, 2007, and I began my "novel," only what came out was the poem, "Suburban Tale," a little macabre for her taste, but I decided to keep going. At first, the poems were more on the fanciful side in general--dense, dark poems that could never have taken place in real life ("The I.R.S.," "The West Village"). Then, the poems turned to more real-life situations. Then, in general, they became more ontological and diffuse. Though the poems were fictional for the most part, they helped me to exorcise so much existential terror while I was writing them, and I needed to talk to a couple of friends about it as it was happening, in order to process it all. Writing these poems was a more intense experience than writing almost anything else, because it was all so concentrated and fast-paced. I was literally emptying myself of the bulk of baggage I still carried, so I could get to the point where I could be like one of the other kids again. And what happened to me was that I realized that I was not only one of the other kids, but that I was actually very creative, and that my gifts for story-telling and negative capability were in tact. I don't usually like most of my work. I mean, I'm satisfied with it, but like is not the word I would use. Maybe feeling an affection for it is more on target. But I really like the poems in The Bigger World. They excite me when I read them, at least for now. When I was a child, I used to fool my family and my teachers with long surrealist yarns about supposed goings on in the neighborhood. I feel like I took that playful energy and wrote a bunch of poems I feel proud of, and which I want others to enjoy. I guess I just feel like these character poems establish me as an artist and as a human being.
Short Bus took over three years to write, though at 176 pages it could easily be called spare. It was important to me that my debut was a collection, and it was important to me that the book made some unique contribution to the form. I'm a giant fan of conceptual collections such as Winesburg, Ohio and In Our Time, and I wanted something in the structure of Short Bus to be unique. What I ultimately decided on were cycles of stories loosely bound together by theme--across the entire book many stories are linked by characters and place, but in each cycle of stories there is an additional, less concrete, elemental companionship. The book is six cycles of three stories, and in all but one of the cycles the structure works like this; a flash fiction piece, a short-short, and a longer short story. I designed this book to be a debut. I wanted an opportunity to show my range, but I wanted a book that could be simultaneously demanding and entertaining and that would hint toward greater things to come. I feel honored that Texas Review Press saw strength in the collection, as I am very much a Southwestern writer. I perhaps move often toward something slightly avant-garde, but I think region can prove pivotal in non-traditional modes as well. There are underlying images of deformity throughout this book, as the name Short Bus suggests, but I feel that so much of what these characters are working toward is not necessarily the idea of being normal but rather of being understood, and the understanding these characters seek is colored heavily by the world they inhabit. My hope is that readers see that I intentionally avoid the universal, and my goal is that this makes Short Bus memorable.
Talismans is a linked collection about Elise's physical and emotional journey to come to terms with her father's abandonment of her and her mother. The first part of the collection describes Elise's disconnection from her mother and her suburban childhood in Northern Virginia, where I grew up. The second part of the book is set in Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar, which are all countries that made a strong impression on me when I visited them. My first novel, The Life Plan, also took place in Thailand, and the plot was fairly lighthearted. In Talismans, however, I wanted to more deeply explore the allure and alienation of being an expatriate. Talismans, which is more like a novel-in-stories, evolved organically, with each story becoming a piece of a puzzle that I was trying to put together. While Elise is the protagonist in all the stories, I experimented with voice, point of view, and structure to allow different perspectives and layers. After living in South Korea for twelve years, I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2007, to be closer to my family and their deep Southern roots. While being in this different location has helped my writing immensely, I still cannot stop writing about Asia. That part of the world is so dynamic, and it's clear that the distribution of world power is shifting to Asia--there's an energy and hunger to improve there that I just haven't seen anywhere else. I've always felt that place is important in my writing, yet I didn't know that my "place" would become so global. My brother and his wife live in Turkey, my husband is South African, my in-laws live outside the States, and I continue to travel widely. In 2010, I was able to spend six weeks in Seoul where I worked on a novel set there about two sisters--one an adopted Korean--and the family secrets they uncover. In my next project, I hope to write a novel set in the American South and South Africa. It seems that I cannot escape these international influences, and they will certainly continue to influence my writing.
I get very confused about the world. How there is one. I try so hard to make distinctions between what I am and what it is. Understanding those distinctions is severely preoccupying for me. I want to be able to tell the difference. Sometimes I look at something for a very long time. I look at it even more. Maybe this can get confused with obsession, but it feels like if I do this long enough something will start to make sense. I will be able to understand what's before me. The most difficult thing, however, is that everything can be something different than it is. And sometimes it's too much. There is the whole world. It's all coming into us all the time. It can be a lot. How our minds, our imaginations create relationships with this material is important. Sometimes I think the world is everything that's here. There is enough of what's here. I trust that it is something. I try repeatedly to locate it. This is what California is about. I think it's an effort to determine the world and how we are to each other. It is also an effort to come into meaning. How imagination is part of that. The role of California in the contemporary imagination, as an imaginative trope within a dislocated psyche. The escape here has to do with the inability to make things mean--it feels like if I try hard enough there can be a resolution via the imagination. But sometimes when we make things they overcome us. It's difficult to know the appropriate boundary for imagination--at what point it moves from an attempt to decipher the world into a construction of the reality of the world. I can't ever tell the difference but I continue to try.
Campeche was composed all over the place--in Oregon, Oaxaca, Michigan, Shanghai, Vermont, the Bay Area, and elsewhere--but it really began to take shape as a collection when it hit me that most of its images and obsessions emerged from the landscapes of my hometowns, Galveston and Clear Lake Shores. More specifically, it became clear that the ocean and its metaphors were central to the work, and so I started to shape the book around coastal themes, which turned out to be ecological themes (or perhaps anti-ecological anti-themes). A breakthrough happened when the incredible folks at my publisher, Noemi Press, were enthusiastic about my idea to add a collaborative aspect to the collection, with the inclusion of photographs by my father, Van Edwards. I have always been inspired by my parents, and my dad's photographs have definitely helped shape my aesthetics, so it was fairly easy to work with him to find images that would fit the book. I couldn't be more pleased with the result--it's a real pleasure to be able to present my work with his, and to be published by such a terrific press.
This is a poem from my book, Moving Day. The book itself was written in about a year. I was unemployed most of the time while writing this book. I was not unemployed for lack of trying to find a job: the job market is/was poor. Many people are unemployed, financially, insecure and/or moving out of an old house/apt into a different situation which can lead to despair. This book is against despair and is sympathetic to the struggle of ordinary people.Being unemployed and financially unstable leads to contraction and stress. It effects behavior making it difficult to be positive, available or present. The poems are conversations with the radio, my friend's emotions, my own emotions, my family history, music, intrusive memory, dwindling finances and dread. Many of the perspectives in this book are influenced by lack of breath (anxiety). I have found the most valuable displacement being away from panic because remaining in control keeps a person from doing impulsive regrettable things. Anyway, this book isn't to judge anyone, it is what I did to make it through my own bad time. It is towards a new free style.
Honestly, I feel little for what we know how to say. It all feels far from my experience of the everyday: what people call clarity, what people call sense. I like sense that touches more than it knows, clarity that is closer to a mixed emotion or to a window you cannot look out without touching. I feel lonely about this but I feel that poetry is a sensory organ that corrects it, one that is more Vision than Image, a thermometer for the surface of the human eye. This week, I feel less lonely (or betterly lonely) reading books by other CSU Poetry Center authors. I hope that my book, The Firestorm, gives pleasure like theirs do, not by narrow affiliations of form or "community" but by better underlying ardor, what Hopkins called "faithheat." A firestorm generates its own weather similarly: atmosphere coheres from heat alone. There's lightning, rain. I hope this book holds together by such heat, which one may forgivably mistake for light. Honestly, I never wanted to write a book but wanted to write the only poem I could on a given day, but I also want you to sit alone and read it. My real assignment, that led to anything: write a poem that's not a lie. If you think all things are equally lies, I don't know what to do with you. Perhaps I could tell you about papier-mache, or dying, or this church sign I saw with no attribution or quotes, with these line breaks: "If you can't feed one / hundred people feed / just one mother theresa."
My first book of poems, American Music, was all in ragged tercets and heavily observational. When I had finally exhausted that form, I was able to stand away from it and think critically about how it worked. The tercets, though suffused with a craftsman's charm, didn't ask many questions about the frame of the page and how it lead to or necessitated certain visual analogues for freedom and its opposites. As I began to question what I could do within the frame of the page, I also began to question how I could use form to comment on our relationship to the body. In my first book I, somewhat naively, gave myself wholly to the pleasures of observation and demands of witness. In the poems that would become Becoming Weather, I wanted to sink through my eyes into a fully corporeal experience of the world, to shake off the idea that the writer (especially the male writer) is doomed to mere surveillance and gaze. What happened were three poems. The first, "equilibrium," attempts to critique ways in which the body is anatomized, flayed and laid flat by technologies built on convenience and predominated by sight. The second, "The Small Dance," endeavors to lift the body from its margin (in poetry's case, the left one) and allow it to perform. The third, "This False Peace," is an indictment of the ways in which peace, stillness, and other seemingly benign but specious concepts can be used to justify endless violence, both against the body and against the bodies of "others." It ends with a coda, which was written on my birthday some years back. I was sitting in the yard of my parents' home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and thinking about answers: how many there are if we allow them.
I think of my work as being primarily fascinated with the situation of the lyric poem. It is enthralled with the performativity and the intersubjective energies of the lyric, by the voice of the speaker drawn out in search of its "you," and with that voice's attempts to conjure for this other (and the eavesdropping reader) some flickering momentary word-vision of a shared world. I am particularly fond lately of some of the ideas of the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, especially the way he describes and mythifies the "face to face" encounter with the revealed alterity of "the Other." For Levinas, and I tend to agree, the encounter with the Other is constitutive of the "I"; it creates the "I" in Levinasian terms, and in doing so re-orients it toward the world as a shared space which it offers to the Other in language. I would say that the writing of this book, I Heart Your Fate, led me to my current interest in Levinas (whom I did not read until after finishing the first draft of the book) as well as my current mode of thinking about lyric poetry in general and mine in particular. The book itself is divided into three sections. The middle, title section is the figurative and literal "heart" of the book. It consists entirely of twenty-line poems all composed in quatrains of un-enjambed lines. Collage played a big role in its composition. Though each of these poems takes me about one minute to read aloud they each took more than a month to write. When they took over my life, which they did for a year and a half, I was alarmed but powerless to resist. The poems of that section represent, on one level, the mashed up traumatism of a too intense encounter with another person. It is certainly possible to read them differently, but partly they do chronicle learning how to stand in relation to the intensely revealed presence of another human being. The first and third sections bracket the ecstatic trauma of the middle section. The poems of the first section tend to present a speaker baffled and paralyzed by a world over-saturated with signs--signs which often seem foreboding. This foreboding seems at times to pre-figure the encounter of "The Event" of the first section's title, as well as the turbulent mash-up that is the second section of the book. The third section's poems present a speaker remade and reoriented in the storm of the middle section.
The poems in Predatory are about how we process panic. We've been told again and again over the past decade or so that we need to be terrified, that we need to live in a state of perpetual fear, for ratings or political gain, and most of us have bought into it, regardless of social or political bent. Our national blood pressure must be through the roof. I've tried to transfer that state into these poems. Panic not only of huge, news-making disasters, but also small, personal catastrophes of the heart. Another thing that fascinates me, and I've tried to bring into this collection as well, is that so many people think that the world, in some religious or manmade way, is going to end during their lifetimes. I can't think of anything more conceited than to be incapable of imagining the human race continuing beyond one's own lifespan. Like breaking up with somebody in a really final way, knowing that it was for the best and you weren't right for each other, and then being totally furious and shocked when you see them with somebody else a year or so later, as though it would be impossible that they could move on without you. So, panic, disaster, fear, disaster, love-- can I say this collection is anti-apocalyptic by being apocalyptic?
Of all the things I hold dearest, none is as valuable as the belief expressed by the Holy Trinity; that is, Reality as Relationship. Of all the worldviews I might adopt, I would find none as fulfilling as the one expressed by the Incarnation; that is, the divine elevation of all that is real. In that commitment to the temporal, the Divine takes the physical world and all its beings, so that we no longer need to pine for the impossible or wish we were gods. These two experiences--I say experiences, because I consider belief to be experience--permeate and sustain all of my writing, no less so in my most recent book Fully Into Ashes. Here, the emphasis is on the flame of experience, fully occurring, from ash to ash. When I started writing the poems, of course, I did not know exactly where they would go, how much or how little they would embrace. But I knew when it was time to stop: when I sensed--as I did in the closing poem, "Way Through Words"--what it meant to be co-creators of a new landscape, where both the spiritual and the physical are intimately wed, so that neither is quite real without the other. Interestingly though--at least interestingly for me--the journey was not over with the writing of the poems. When I was organizing the collection, I learned something else. The poems fell into three clear stages (ah, once more that intriguing and illuminating trinity). There is "Find," that is, the initial awareness of whatever life proffers. Then, there is "Ache," our growing experience of loss and longing, both of which define us. And ultimately, there is "Gift," when what becomes clearest to us is that we are most often on the receiving end, having paid no price to equal its worth, of all that is Good.
Other People We Married is my debut collection of short stories, out this month from FiveChapters Books. I wrote the first story in this collection six years ago, and the most recent only a few months ago. When I tell people that, I feel like I'm telling them that I've been chained to these stories non-stop, working on them all the while, which is not the case. I went to graduate school in the middle of that period, and got married, moved to and from Wisconsin. Most of the stories are about people being out of their element, in a foreign land or emotional state. For me, the reason the stories hang together as a whole is because I too spent so much of the last several years feeling somewhat out of my depth, for one reason or another. The stories use humor to diffuse much of that tension. What I'm telling you is that it's all right to laugh. Please laugh
Life on Mars initially emerged out of an affection for the tropes of 1970s science fiction. I wanted to borrow some of the conflicts and stylized gestures from that genre and apply them to my own sense of life on the ground in contemporary America. Working with that kind of a goal in mind, I felt that I finally had permission to allow figures like David Bowie or Stanley Kubrick or Charlton Heston (who play a not negligible part in my private imagination!) to appear in my work. But as I moved further into my material, I realized that the questions most pertinent to me were serious ones: how to make sense of a personal life set within a larger sphere characterized by injustice, social violence and insurmountable distances between people? To add to that sense of growing seriousness, my father passed away in the autumn of 2008, and so the questions and feelings stemming from my grief attached themselves to ideas of space and time, and the cosmic conundrums we haven't yet managed to unravel. In technical terms, I found myself writing in more closed forms than usual and, at least at first, writing poems that were shorter and much more self-contained than had been the tendency in my previous book. As the collection was taking on a more discernible shape, I realized that larger, more ambitious poems and poem-sequences started to feel necessary as a way of speaking more directly to the sources informing much of my imagery: cinema, music, news events from the spring and summer of 2009.Looking at the collection now, I realize it has as much to do with ideas of God as with anything resembling sci-fi. It's a collection that is still trying to answer one of the questions that figures into my first book: What do you believe in?
My fourth grade teacher had been a paratrooper who dragged war experience into a new career of terrorizing nine year-olds. However, scary Mr. Keeers had a soft spot for stories and made us write one every Friday. If he read mine aloud on Mondays, I had compensation for a week's distress. That was the beginning of my writing journey through various paid pursuits, short story and now novel. Writing Irma's journey in When We Were Strangers, I remembered his thundered "Sometimes you just gotta jump!" most intensely when Irma's journey took her to dark places. A protective affection for the main character can cripple writing. At some point in the process, at least mine, even while creating conflict, it's tempting to shield your creatures from dangers outside and from darkness within. This is also about self-preservation, or it was for me. To go with Irma into scenes in which she was prey was painful. Each revision was about inhabiting her skin more fully, from threatened incest to seasickness. It never got easier. In successive revisions, I realized that her predators too needed to be inhabited. Something in me would have to the predator. How would that feel? What would that look like? And the contrary: not only what darkness lives in the essentially "normal" soul (and I'm pretty normal), but also what wholeness exists around or beneath the woundedness of a predator? Once somebody loved him or he loved somebody. . . Although the novel's title came late in the process, it reflects in many ways the situations of the story. Immigrants are not only strangers in their new land but also strangers to each other. How does an Italian like Irma share the specificity of her nostalgia with an Irish friend or a Polish rag picker? In the end, we share the fact of being strangers, of carrying both darkness and light. Despite so much vitriol now about who's more of a stranger in America, we've all been once fresh off some boat, real or figurative, just like Irma.
One year after graduating from a liberal arts college in 1999 with a degree in international relations, I found myself working as a hack economist for a right-wing think tank. I'd started there as an intern, but thanks to some brisk title-inflation--they were a non-profit, on paper, and therefore obliged to make efforts appear non-partisan, so they kept a few under-qualified token liberals on the payroll--I became an adjunct fellow. My previous job had been flipping burgers. Despite my new title, I still earned $8 an hour. They were not especially concerned about what I did with my time, so I moved to South America, where I wrote about Ecuadorian dollarization for them. After two years, I quit and returned to the United States, where I started writing fiction. Ten years later, I'm happy to say that my debut novel, A Young Man's Guide to Late Capitalism, which draws on my experiences working as a pseudo-economist in South America, is on the verge of being published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. For me, it's baffling that the world of finance remains so overlooked by American writers of so-called literary fiction. We get some cartoonish satire, but that's it. My plan is to continue exploring this material through intimate, character-based stories.

Des Moines Register questionnaire completed by U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley
Three awards you prized (preferably awards for effective work).
• Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Northeast Iowa, 1995 "Couple of the Year" (recognized with wife Carolyn for exceptional work advancing BBBS' mission of mentoring young people to succeed and thrive in life.)
• Charles W. Dick Medal of Merit, awarded by the National Guard Association of the United States (recognizes the contributions to the National Guard by elected representatives).
• 2011 Iowa Medical Society "Special Presidential Citation Award," presented for "tireless work to restore geographic equity to physician Medicare reimbursement."
Top three most important pieces of legislation you've initiated (stand-alone bills). Please note whether they were approved by your chamber or were signed into law.
Back to Work Act. In February 2010, introduced the Back to Work Act, a bill that would provide a tax credit for small businesses that hired unemployed workers, providing a direct incentive to put Iowans back to work. In March 2010, the House passed a bill – known as the HIRE Act -- that included language from the Back to Work Act. The tax cut was eventually signed into law by the President. In Iowa, 104,000 people were hired under the act through the end of 2010.
Plain Writing Act. Introduced the Plain Language Act in 2007 to require the government to write forms and documents like tax forms in simple, easy-to-understand language. The bill passed the US House. In 2010, the effort gathered more steam, and a slightly revised Plain Writing Act passed the House. The bill was signed by President Obama into law in late 2010. Tomorrow marks an implementation deadline of the bill – federal agencies are supposed to report their progress toward implementing the law on April 13th, 2012.
Andrew Connolly Veterans' Housing Act. Introduced this bill to renew and expand grants for disabled veterans to retrofit their homes to make them more disability-accessible. House passed the bill in 2011.
Voice of influence: Have you demonstrated ability to influence the priorities or votes in your chamber by delivering a message via the news media, caucuses or other means? Give a concrete example.
Good example are successful efforts to force the Pentagon to award Iowa National Guard members (1) GI Bill education benefits they were unfairly denied, and (2) combat pay they were promised but never received. In 2007, the Iowa National Guard 1-133rd based in Waterloo returned from the longest combat deployment of the Iraq War. Because of the way their orders were written, the deployment was one day too short to qualify for full GI Bill benefits active duty military soldiers would have qualified for. Launched a media blitz and persuaded the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to launch an investigation into the denied benefits. This led to the discovery that more than 3700 soldiers in 34 states were affected by similar problems. Efforts led to full restoration of GI Bill education benefits for the affected National Guard soldiers. More clips: here and here. In 2010, was able to secure combat pay initially denied to Iowa National Guard soldiers after publicly pressing for action.
Connections with leadership.
Even in this time of partisanship and division in Washington, have worked to find common ground with House leadership and members on both sides of the aisle, especially on the key issue of veterans and veterans' employment. Good example: the success of the Andrew Connolly Veterans' Housing Act. Introduced this bill and worked with cosponsor and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity Chair Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) to move this bill through the subcommittee level. Worked with Veterans Affairs Committee Chair Jeff Miller (R-FL) to incorporate bill into larger bill combining numerous veterans' provisions into one bill. Bill passed out of committee, then worked with Speaker John Boehner to advocate for passage of the bill through the House. House passed bill unanimously in May.
One signature issue/topic that you champion.
Standing up for veterans. Father, Byard Braley, served in the Marine Corps in WWII and fought on Iwo Jima and brother works at the VA Hospital in Knoxville, IA. Work on behalf of veterans is inspired by their service. Accomplishments include: fixing a Pentagon error that threatened full GI Bill educational benefits for hundreds of Iowa National Guard members returning from Iraq; securing overdue pay promised for Iowa National Guard members who were deployed to Iraq; introducing a tax credit for employers that hire unemployed veterans, an idea that was later incorporated into tax credit legislation signed by President Obama last year; introducing a bill to expand grants available for permanently disabled veterans to retrofit their homes to make them more livable, and passing it out of the House; and more.
Best thing you accomplished for your district, or a surprising achievement. Share a few short details.
Going to go with a surprising achievement, because this achievement was a top priority for Iowans in Congress for many years but was never achieved until this breakthrough in 2010: During the debate over the Affordable Care Act, worked with a group of Midwestern members of Congress in an effort to secure fairer Medicare reimbursement payments for Iowa doctors, who have historically seen chronically lower payments from Medicare versus larger states despite providing by any objective measure higher quality of care for lower cost. Our group took on the Democratic leadership in Congress trying to push through the healthcare reform law without these reform included – and after hours of negotiations, at 3am on a Saturday, reached an agreement to reform the way Medicare pays doctors, saving taxpayers up to $700 billion over the next 10 years. The Des Moines Register covered this breakthrough here.
Media and public relations: Explain how you connect with reporters and the public – for example, how you engage constituents online, or the number of news releases you did last year, or the number of town hall meetings you held (traditional town halls, centered on one topic or whatever the audience brings up), or responsiveness to requests for interviews with the media, etc.
Maintain active, personally-authored Twitter feed (2300 tweets total, nearly 3900 followers). Maintain active, frequently updated YouTube page. Sent frequent updates to email list of constituents. Revamped braley.house.gov website in December 2011 to include more interactive features. Example: Stop BS (bureaucrat-speak), where constituents can report examples of confusing government forms/publications that aren't in keeping with Plain Writing requirements. Hold weekly media conference call on Wednesday mornings when House is in session with Iowa reporters to take questions about Congressional action. Issued 278 news releases in 2011. Held numerous town hall meetings and countless public events in 2011. Example: town hall meetings across eastern Iowa focused on federal budget deficit reduction, hosted in conjunction with the nonpartisan Concord Coalition. Constituents worked in small groups to help determine ways to balance the budget. The town halls were promoted via press release, email, Twitter, and online and livestreamed on the internet when they took place. Posted highlight video of townhalls on YouTube. The Quad City Times editorialized, "[Compromise was] the value of Braley's exercise. Rather than address a series of constituents' questions about absolutes, Braley initiated discussions that required consensus." Has visited every county in the 1st District in the last 12 months.
Any other examples/anecdotes about your effectiveness not measured by the above questions.
The 2008 floods washed out a critical railroad bridge over the Cedar River in Waterloo utilized by the Iowa Northern short-line railroad company to bring goods to Waterloo from mainline rail operations. The washout required rail cars to make a 300-mile detour, increasing costs for manufacturers and farmers. Introduced legislation to create the Railroad Rehabilitation and Repair Program to help pay for the repair of rail lines knocked out by flooding and natural disasters. Then successfully pushed to include funding for the program in the second Iowa flooding disaster relief bill passed by Congress in 2009. Railroad bridge was reopened in late 2009.

Sanchez Wins Ninth Stage of Tour de France; Voeckler Takes Lead
Luis Leon Sanchez won the ninth stage of cycling's Tour de France as Thomas Voeckler took the race lead after a second-place finish yesterday.
Thor Hushovd had held the leader's yellow jersey for a week before the crash-filled 208-kilometer (129-mile) trip from Issoire to Saint-Flour.
France's Voeckler of the Europcar team leads the overall competition by 1 minute, 49 seconds from Sanchez of Spain. Two-time runnerup Cadel Evans of Australia is third, 37 seconds further back.
Alexander Vinokourov abandoned the race after crashing halfway through the stage, and Jurgen van den Broeck, Frederik Willems and David Zabriskie also exited the competition after taking tumbles. Juan Antonio Flecha and Johnny Hoogerland managed to stay in the race after a collision with an overtaking television vehicle.
Voeckler was part of a five-man breakaway involved in the incident, though avoided getting caught up in it. He was outpaced by Sanchez at the finish, Sandy Casar coming third.
Among the race favorites, Andy Schleck is 11 seconds behind Evans, with Alberto Contador, seeking a third win in four years, a minute and a half further back.
There is a rest day today, followed by a 158-kilometer stage from Aurillac to Carmaux on July 12 as the race heads toward the Pyrenees.

My wife and I enjoy the Jackson-Kuhls Bell Tower Famers Market because its so convenient. We both work in downtown Jackson, so when we take our lunch time walks we stop by the market and buy fresh produce.

The folks at Peruvian Kitchen don't dumb it down for the city's bros at all. In addition to their black-but-moist hen, they offer fried rice adorned with raisins, carrots and corn; sturdy French fries with snappy hot dog slices, and a fabulous mesquite-smoked yam. But go for the anticuchos: two skewers of dark-brown beef heart glazed with garlic. The anticuchos were chewy, intensely meaty, the best offal in the county. 17552 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach, (714) 847-7555. $
The dim sum jockeys who patrol China Garden with their carts and filled plates want you to gorge immediately, but pace yourself: the visits will not cease, the goodness of the county's best dim sum will not end. Cha shu bao, filled with sweet red barbecued pork, perfectly foils the steaming cup of the sharp house oolong tea. So does the steamed chicken bun, a light, chewy thing filled with ground chicken meat, ginger and herbs. 14825 Jeffrey Rd., Irvine, (949) 653-9988. $$

We first read about Chuao in Forbes, where the Carlsbad-based chocolatier achieved the dubious distinction of appearing on the magazine's list of "most expensive chocolates"—at $79 a pound, well below something called Chocopologie by Knipschildt ($2,600 per pound) but considerably more than a 10-pack of Reese's for a buck. Its Irvine location shows why it's worth it. Spectrum Shopping Center, 95 Fortune Dr., Ste. 603, Irvine, (949) 453-8813. $
Wholesome Choice is the most diverse supermarket in Orange County—maybe Southern California—a garden of produce delights where Armenian cherry preserves, Polish kielbasa, Middle Eastern cream cheese, organic eggs and Tapatío exist within a three-aisle radius. But its greatest treat is the sangak, crispy Persian flatbread as crucial to Iranian identity as Rumi and about four feet in length. 18040 Culver Dr., Irvine, (949) 551-4111; www.wholesomechoice.com. $
In a culinary tradition that varies little whether you're chopsticking through Mongolian BBQ in Ulan Bator or Utica, Great Wall differentiates itself by offering grub more fiery, more nuanced and a bit more bountiful than other charcuteries. Their daily lunch special is one of the most rewarding in the county—$4.50 for a bowl of Mongolian BBQ, along with a better-than-average egg roll, a thimble of fried rice that tastes vaguely Mexican and a small tureen of unctuous egg flower soup. 1261 Harbor Blvd., Ste. A, La Habra, (714) 680-3569. ¢
Ellen's attracts as many non-Filipinos as pinoys, perhaps because Ellen's offers a menu—a list of all 70 entrées, 10 of them available at any time in the always-steaming turo-turo buffet. The daing na bangus—milkfish stew marinated with garlic and cucumbers and cooked in a searing coconut-and-soy-sauce broth—is fabulous. 7971 Valley View St., La Palma, (714) 522-8866. $
Whether you're up for blowing the per diem, meeting friends for a quiet dinner (on them!) or sneaking into a corner for a romantic rendezvous, it doesn't get much better than Claes, where chefs play with seafood recipes like scientists with compounds. 25 S.

Eva's occupies the same simple cottage that the dearly missed Drew's Caribbean Kitchen rented for many years. The best remnant from the Drew's days is an open kitchen that continues to flambé and sauté a cruise-ship tour of Caribbean cuisine, with stops for moist Bahamian conch fritters, a sweet St. Martin-style salad and enough varieties of rum to give Captain Morgan cirrhosis. 31732 S.

It's no secret why snazzy Ritz-Carlton guests in Dana Point head north to Laguna Beach each night. For more than a decade, chef/owner Michael Kang has ranked among the most creative in California. Particularly popular is the whole catfish in hot braised sauce or the pan-roasted scallops. Reservations are a must. 328 Glenneyre St., Laguna Beach, (949) 497-4955. $$$
At Romeo Cucina in Laguna Beach, the carpaccio appetizer—a large platter caked with carpaccio—is preposterously delightful and, at $11.95, a steal of a meal. Both shaved and chunky, the soft morsels are complemented with zingy lemon and capers, fresh-shaved Parmesan, artichoke hearts and salad bits. Other Italian platters are excellent, but the carpaccio is like a beef-flavored Listerine strip for the gut. 249 Broadway, Laguna Beach, (949) 497-6627. $$

Even better is a Dueñas original that he calls an apple-raisin bran, a block of caramelized flour so decadent that customers drive in from San Diego and even Washington state just for a sniff. 23020 Lake Forest Dr., Ste. 170, Laguna Hills, (949) 586-4718; www.solomonsbakery.com. $
Start with their tom kah gai soup, a creamy, flavorful offering of the popular Thai chicken-coconut soup; then try the beef panang. It rates pretty high on the beef panang scale—and it'll make you sweat. 28051 Greenfield Dr., Ste. J, Laguna Niguel, (949) 643-5521. $

Salmon & chive pâté
If you have leftovers mash 200g poached salmon with a 200g tub of soft cheese and juice ½ lemon. Add 1 tbsp snipped chives, 2 chopped spring onions and 1 tbsp chopped cornichons. Chill. Serve with toasted crusty bread.
- The salmon fillets need to be skinless and boneless, so if you can't get your fishmonger to do it, you'll need to do it yourself: to remove the pin bones, stroke your hand along the flesh side of the fillets and use tweezers or pliers to pull out any bones you come across. Then, to remove the skin, you'll need a very sharp knife, preferably a filleting knife. Take each fillet in turn and place skin -side down on the board with the narrowest end facing you. Slide your knife in between the skin and the flesh from the tail end, and wiggle your knife to loosen and pull away the skin. Firmly take hold of the tail skin you have loosened and, working away from yourself, cut along the length of the fish, while moving the knife side to side. Keep the blade of your knife as flat and close to the skin as possible so as not to leave any flesh on the skin. Repeat with the second fillet.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Take a very large sheet of extra-wide foil (turkey foil works well), and lightly brush with olive oil. Place one salmon fillet on the foil and scatter over the sliced lemons, dill and half the fennel, and season generously. Place the second salmon fillet on top, domed side up. Season and drizzle with the wine.
- Top with a second sheet of greased foil and fold up the edges to enclose the salmon in a parcel. Make the parcel quite loose so there is room for the steam. Lift onto a large baking tray and cook for 1 hr then remove and allow to rest in the foil for 10 mins.
- While the salmon cooks, make the mayonnaise. Place the yolks and the mustard in a medium bowl, adding a pinch of salt, if you like. Pour the oil into a jug as you will need a controlled steady stream. Briefly whisk the eggs and start to drizzle on the oil very slowly, starting with a few drips at a time while continuously whisking.
- Continue adding the oil. When the mayonnaise starts to come together, you can add the oil slightly quicker. Continue until all the oil has been added. If the mayonnaise curdles at any point, you can rescue it by cracking another yolk into a clean bowl and whisking the curdled mayonnaise into the fresh egg. Continue doing this then add any remaining oil.
- When your mayonnaise is made, slowly stir in the vinegar and enough of the lemon juice to your taste – add more if you like it quite lemony. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the chopped herbs. Keep chilled until the salmon is ready.
- Mix the cucumber with some of the dill and the rest of the fennel. When the salmon has rested, cut the foil open and use two fish slices to carefully transfer the fish to a long serving platter. Sprinkle with the dill and garnish with lemon cheeks. Serve with the herby mayonnaise and cucumber salad.

Comments, questions and tips
Easy and impressive centre piece for a light lunch- found that after an hour salmon was slightly overlooked for my taste, but still wonderfully moist and very tasty. Cucumber & fennel salad accompaniment was improved by adding finely sliced red onion and a light dressing - rice wine vinegar, touch of finely chopped chilli, sweetened to taste with cane sugar, and left to 'pickle' for about an hour before serving.

"Thanks for saving our lives, but please leave now, because we don't like what you stand for."
That is the message Jeanne Assam says she received last year when she informed the powers-that-be at New Life Church that she is gay.
Assam was widely hailed as a hero for ending a murderous rampage at New Life Dec. 9, 2007.
On that morning, 24-year-old Matthew Murray shot and killed two New Life parishioners after having murdered two others the night before at a training center for Christian missionaries in Arvada.
Assam, working as a volunteer security guard, fired repeatedly at Murray, wounding him and pinning him down. He then shot himself.
Assam told a public gathering of the Colorado Springs gay community Saturday night that her longstanding personal identity struggle became more pronounced and she accepted her sexual orientation.
When she informed church officials, she said, they told her she was no longer welcome.
"Absolutely untrue," said New Life Pastor Brady Boyd. "We welcome everyone at New Life. We would never tell someone to leave because of their sexual orientation. Jeanne will always be a hero at New Life."

This product is not for everyone & everything. It's definitely not for oily or normal-to-oily skin. For my dry skin & occasional dark under eye circle as well as darker areas around my nasal to mouth crease needs, medium is perfect for my fair-to-medium tone. I have found over the years it sets best with a brush of powder.
As far as reviews where some have found it settling into fine lines, well, that's make up for you: it's a physical product and lines just LOVE to show how well they can hold colors of any sort. Accept it, experiment & ask for samples before purchasing. Check out some primers (if you ask for a sample, you will almost always be given a few days worth). Skin is as fickle as Taylor Swift or John Mayer in a singles' club.
I use medium, and like I said, it works for my dry skin and better if set with a brush of powder (I like Revlon colorstay compact or Clinique). Per the ingredients label, it does not contain any offensive/irritating ingredients, so I'd have to guess any allergic reactions are rare & highly individual--I react to jojoba oil, but that doesn't make it a bad thing in a product for everyone else.

I have tried many under-eye concealers as I have light skin with very dark circles. Liked Laura Merciers for a while but this concealer from benefit finally takes the cake for brightening under eyes. I feel like a human again! Yes it is slightly oily but not a deterrent. Will buy from here on out.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I was really liking this concealer. It was hiding my dark circles and my blemishes. Then one day my under eye area become very sensitive. Almost painful and was very dry and cracking. I stopped using the concealer and it went away. I didn't put two and two together so I didn't know it was the concealer doing this to me. Until a few months later I went back to the concealer and the same thing happened to my under eye. I wish this would work for me because it's awesome but it doesn't so I won't re buy :(
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Tan, Warm
Hair: Brown, Kinky, Fine
Eyes: Brown
When I first purchased this product I found it kind of difficult to use, I found that the concealer was really thick and would sit on the fine lines under my eyes. However, I found the product was easier to manipulate if I used a beauty blender to smooth it on to my skin. It gives excellent coverage and hides my dark circles and once it has been set with powder it does not crease. I found the key to applying this concealer was to use a beauty blender, if I didn't use the beauty blender I found that the product would case on my face.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I am looking at the reviews and see they are sort of mixed. Some think it's pricey, some think it's flaky, some like every aspect. I LOVE the product. I use a small brush to apply and find it applies very smoothly that way. I buy the small container and it lasts months and months and months and is very affordable.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
Overall, the concealer is great for covering up dark circles under the eyes and does a good job when covering blemishes. However, when I run out of this, I may opt for a creamier one as I find that after blending the concealer with my fingers, I start to see tiny dust-sized flakes appearing. I did not blend TOO long, however it sets quite quickly. It's better to apply moisturiser before using this product. I read great reviews on this concealer and to be honest, it does the job. The only thing that ticks me off just a little is the concealer setting too fast.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
This product is too thick, hard to blend, it settles into fine lines and creases easily. Doesn't last all day which is a shame.
Overall, unimpressed. 3/10 would not recommend :(
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I love this! Not sure about how it works on spots but it's great for under eye circles.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Warm
Hair: Other, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This product did nothing for me. It claims to cover basically all imperfections but it covered none. Dark circles? Nope. Blemishes? Nope. Dark spots? Nope. Scars? Nope. Fine lines? Nope. It's as pricey as a high end concealer. The product is super thick and for it being that thick I feel it should at least cover minor imperfections. It's best to just buy a nice concealer instead of applying this then concealer it's a waste of money.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Green
I do like this concealer, probably more than any other which is why I gave it 4 lippies and would buy again. I bought this in 'Fair'. I'm almost in my mid-50's, so is important it doesn't settle in any fine lines. I found this to be perfectly fine....doesn't settle in any lines and when I first dot this on (sparingly...a little goes a long way), it takes 10 years off my eye area. I just wish it would stay on longer! Buy noon time, it's gone. And I hate putting it on again because it just doesn't apply the same. There's a little spatula that comes with this that I discarded pretty much immediately. Would be great if you're sharing it with someone though. I always wash my hands before applying makeup, do while it may be a bit unsanitary to dip a finger in the pot, I'll take the chance. It is a little pricey (around $20?), but this pot is going to last a very long time. You really only need a few dots and it goes a long way. I will buy again, but I do wish it would last longer.

thank you so much
The Best! Simple and works perfectly! Thank You
Installed in a second, and absolutely intuitive to use. Thank you!
Does exactly as promised. Fantastic plugin and I agree that this would be great in Core.
As with another reviewer, my servers only support SSH. This plugin makes it possible to update plugins and the core of WordPress flawlessly.
Using the wp installation form the Rasperri Pi forums I was having troubles managing plugins from the website. The issue was that raspian comes with sftp and not ftp and I did not want to install an ftp-server.
This plug in solved the problem!
Finally I can now upload plugins on my VPS with SFTP/SSH and no FTP. This has been a life saver. Thanks a billion!
i just transfer my WP to more secure server. then i use this plugin to use sftp protocol. it's simple to use and secure
this plugin and a bit of configuring got wordpress auto updating for me via ssh. thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this plugin!

Save time and money when addressing business envelopes by using Window Envelopes. These envelopes feature at least one opening on the front of the envelope that allows the contents to show through. Single Window Envelopes have just one opening for the mailing address, whereas Double Window Envelopes have an opening for the return address as well. Full Face Envelopes have an opening that covers the entire front of the envelope, with a clear plastic sheet over the window to protect the contents. Choose from a wide array of sizes and colors to coordinate with your mailing needs, including Window Envelopes designed for standard business checks.
Very rich colors
Very nice product.
The box was delivered in very rough shape. Looks like it exploded and all the pieces were stuffed back in and the box was taped back together. The contents were 99% usable. I did not have this problem last time.
The window was a little lower than what I needed but will definitely look for another one. The shipping was very fast and the price was reasonable for a sample
great product
Perfect Product
didn't work for us - no problem with the envelope itself, just didn't line up with our software. The product itself was fine, however.
These are great mess-free envelopes. Love the fact that I can have two different ink colors on the front side. Always a repeat customer.
The envelopes are great quality and reasonably priced. The website is easy to use and saves my purchases. They are also shipped very quickly.
Solid, reliable work.

Elvis Costello Walking On Thin Ice Lyrics
Last updated: 03/27/2000 01:55:33 AM
Sponsored LinksWalking on thin ice, I'm paying the price.
I'm throwing the dice in the air.
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with our hearts?
I gave you my life, you gave me your life.
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?
I may cry someday. A kiss will dry whichever way.
And when my heart returns to ashes, it will be just a story.
It will be just a story.
And you go and try to walk across the lake
Crossed it with winter and all of this is ice
A terrible thing to do. They say the lake is as thick as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew?
