OSG America, L.P. (OSG America, NYSE: OSP) reported that Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG; NYSE: OSG), which owns a 77.1% interest in OSG America, announced that it has increased the price per unit that it will offer to pay for all of the outstanding publicly held common units of OSG America from $8.00 to $10.25 per unit in cash. The increased offer price represents a 28% increase over the original proposed offer price of $8.00 per unit, a premium of approximately 44% over the closing price of the units on July 29, 2009, the last full trading day prior to the first public announcement of OSG's proposed offer, and a premium of approximately 42% above the average closing price of the units for the 90 trading days immediately preceding July 29.
OSG's decision to increase the offer price follows extensive discussions between OSG and a committee of independent members of the Board of Directors of OSG America LLC appointed to review OSG's offer. The committee has informed OSG that OSG's increased price of $10.25 per unit is fair to common unitholders, from a financial point of view, as of September 24, 2009.
OSG has stated that it expects to commence the tender offer in October, after OSG has prepared all necessary documentation. OSG and its affiliates currently own approximately 53.3% of the outstanding common units, 100% of the outstanding subordinated units and a 2% general partner interest, representing in the aggregate approximately 77.1% of the outstanding equity of OSG America.

So exotic and exquisite! Really loved these! I used only the light syrup from the can of lychees, the fruit was gone already, but they were not really needed in this recipe, we thought. All that lychee flavour was in the syrup. I used less sugar, too. Used Malibu, 1 cup enough for hint of coconut flavour, if more alcoholic beverage was required, I would add the 1 cup light rum, as well.
Based on another review, I cut the amount of sugar and used only some of the lychee syrup. And... they were wonderful - refreshing with a perfect blend of sweet and tart with a whisper of coconut. I topped each glass off with a splash of diet cherry 7-up. made for ZWT9 Soup-a-Stars
This was really yummy, but pretty sweet. I think next time I'd blend it so the lychees got mixed in. Made for ZWT8

Five items, a sort of mini-MMQB, for a Championship Week Tuesday ... What's up, exactly, with Peyton Manning?Let's start with all the chatter about Peyton Manning, the conservative Denver playcalls, etc., coming out of the Broncos' 38-35 loss. Reader Jeff Keith of Charlotte asks: "You mentioned that Manning should have loosened up Baltimore's defense in the second half with some deep throws. I have watched Manning throughout the season, and I have little doubt that he cannot throw the deep ball anymore post injury. I wonder what the stats point to regarding the distance the ball covers in the air on Manning throws this year versus his career numbers?''According to ProFootballFocus.com, here are the percentages of Manning's throws 20 yards or farther past the line of scrimmage (attempts, not completions) since 2008:2012: 12.3 percent.2011: injured.2010: 13.5 percent.2009: 12.8 percent.2008: 13.2 percent.So, not that different. But with the CBS report Saturday -- which I didn't hear about until Monday -- about Manning having some trouble with numbness in his fingertips, the question makes sense. I had a minute alone with Manning postgame and would have asked him about it had I known. But it's something to keep in mind as Manning continues to recover from his four neck surgeries. You can see the number of throws downfield is down slightly -- very slightly -- so I don't believe it's a significant difference there.Bottom line: With 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter in a tied playoff game, one of the best quarterbacks in history had the ball with two timeouts, needing about 47 yards to be in field goal range. You've got, what? Five plays to make 47 yards to get in position for a field goal? I know the conditions were lousy: frigid day, a Ravens defense playing well, Manning having had a good but not great day to that point. If Manning went to John Fox and said, "I'm really struggling, so let's sit on it here,'' that's fine. If not, I don't understand the decision, and never will.*** On the CTE discovery in the brain of Junior Seau.With the ABC/ESPN report last week that Junior Seau's brain contained evidence of brain disease caused by multiple hits to the head, it is now imperative, obviously, that the league do as much as possible for the mental health of ex-players -- and that efforts continue to remove helmet-to-helmet hits from the game.I also think, other than chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), there are other causes to be considered -- namely, depression and post-career transition, both of which could have been major points of emphasis in the decline and death of Seau. This morning, I spoke with former Lions quarterback Eric Hipple, now an outreach specialist with the University of Michigan's Depression Center. He's a victim of depression himself, and his 15-year-old son killed himself in 2000 after suffering from depression. He was between sessions, he said, with a former NFL player who is depressed. That shouldn't be a surprise, he said, given the results of a NFL Players Association poll of former players, in which 15 percent of 1,600 players polled said they have felt moderately to severely depressed since the end of their careers; the national average for men is about nine to 12 percent."There is no doubt in my mind that CTE creates problems with some former players, and it's a contributor to depression for sure,'' said Hipple. "CTE certainly can exacerbate depression. But CTE has become a catch-bag for every problem now, and I don't think it should be. Jovan Belcher happens [the murder of his girlfriend, and Belcher's suicide], and everybody wonders if CTE did it. There is simply no data to confirm that CTE is the dominant reason for suicide.''Hipple believes the transition from a football life to a civilian one is the most difficult one to handle."When players leave football, I've found almost every one goes through a process of thinking, 'What do I do now? What's my identity now?' Their support system was taken away. All of a sudden, the support system, the friends, the money, the identity, is gone. If I want to see a doctor, I've got to make an appointment; I don't have a doctor available to me at all times. It's pretty devastating when you get cut. Or you get injured, and you're released. But nobody ever talks about it. It's a traumatic event. Look at research on ostracism. Psychologically, it's tough. That in itself can lead to depression."Then you get out in the world, and, let's say you've been in the NFL for eight years. You find yourself competing for a job against people who have been in the line of work for eight years. You've been working hard on football, and now you're way behind everyone when you go out in the field. Then you add the chronic pain, which some players have. And people saying to you, 'You played the greatest game in the world? I would have done anything to be able to do that. What can be wrong with you?' ''Hipple's advice to the NFL (and he has spoken to commissioner Roger Goodell about this): The day a player gets cut, debrief him -- tell him about the post-career resources available to him, and emphasize mental health care; connect him to a post-career support system."I'm as mentally healthy as I've ever been, and it's because of education,'' he said. He wishes he could have had a chance to speak with Seau before his suicide last May -- but he says he wishes he could talk to every former player to tell them there's hope, even if a player has a brain injury, to deal with the depression that might be plaguing them.CTE, Hipple believes, should be part of a mosaic of the post-career player issues. But it shouldn't be the only thing experts study when lives go so tragically wrong.*** Four questions with Andy Reid ... Not long before the end of the season, I wanted to ask Andy Reid whether he'd be interested in writing something around the time of the Super Bowl for Sports Illustrated. He said no -- even though in his youth he wanted to be a sportswriter. He thought he might be otherwise occupied. I'd felt he wouldn't take a year off from coaching up to that point, but then I knew if there was a job out there, he'd want it. Q: So, since you've been named the Chiefs' coach, many people wonder: 'With everything you've been through -- your son Garrett's death by overdose, the turbulent year on and off the field you just went through -- why not take a year off to recharge and get your life back in order?Reid: "Because I love what I do. Garrett loved what I did. It doesn't feel like work. I didn't want to sit home and not coach. What was I going to do? There was nothing I wanted to do as much as coach football. The thing with Garrett ... it was not very sudden; this was a long, long process. Unfortunately, [drug addiction] is so rampant in America, and people who have gone through it realize that you don't just -- as in my case -- lose a son; you lose a great friend. Now I'm able to bring my other son here. [Reid hired Britt Reid, who also had drug-addiction issues, to be a Chiefs quality-control coach.] Remember, he lost his best friend. But I am so proud of how far he's come. And it says something about him that the three coaches he worked for at Temple wanted him to come with them. The other side of this is working to move on like a man and handle what life throws at you. We're doing that.''Q: Why the Chiefs? Why not, say, Arizona, or the other places you were linked to?Reid: "The Hunt family is one of four or five bedrock families in the NFL that I always thought, 'If I'm ever released [by the Eagles], if one of those families calls, I'd listen.' The history here is so rich, the tradition is so rich, the fan base is so strong.''Q: What's the one overriding thing you take from Philadelphia into this job?Reid: "I learned to embrace a city in Philadelphia. They'll take you from boyhood to manhood, which they did with me, and that's okay. It's a results business. I got that. As far as the team goes, it's imperative that everybody's pulling in the same direction. That's the only way you can succeed."Q: What's your take on the talent you inherit?Reid: "Before I interviewed with the Chiefs, I looked at every snap from every [Kansas City] game this year. Special teams were average. The talent overall, it looked to me like they were transitioning from an older team to a younger one. And I thought, 'With a couple, three drafts, very good things can happen here."*** I don't know precisely what this means, but I like it.Rob Chudzinski, named Friday as the seventh head coach in 14 new Cleveland Browns years, was an offensive coordinator for four years in the NFL -- two with Cleveland (2007-'08), two with Carolina (2011-'12). And I would bet his greatest win as a coordinator came in October 2008, when the struggling Browns welcomed the unbeaten Giants to Cleveland Browns Stadium for a Monday night game -- and Chudzinski's offense piled up 454 yards and routed the Giants 35-14.I bring this up because I tried to reach Chudzinski after the game by phone to speak about it, failed, then went to bed around 1, figuring I'd catch him sometime during the week. Well, at 1:45 a.m., my cell phone rang. It was Chudzinski. He was in his office, at the Browns training facility in suburban Berea, starting to work on that week's foe, Washington, and we arranged to talk later in the week. I thought this said something either about Chudzinski the worker bee or coaches in general: The Browns have their biggest win in the Crennel Era, beating the unbeaten Super Bowl champs at home on a Monday night before a national audience, and the offensive coordinator's mode of celebration was to go watch tape of the next foe. When we spoke, he did say he watched three Washington defensive game tapes between about 12:15 and 4 that night before getting some sleep. Some coaches who have a Monday night game will spend a good part of Monday during the day getting a head video start on the next team, but Chudzinski won't do that because he feels it clouds his thinking if he looks ahead to the next foe before finishing with one opponent."It's just the job,'' he said then. "It's what the job is in the most competitive league in the world. I just like to watch two or three games and get a feel of the team we're going to play. See how we match up, see how they call the game. Just getting a feel for them. For me, I think, and I've always thought, this is just what I have to do. I just feel I need every waking hour to do this job right. You better not spend too much time licking your wounds or patting yourself on the back.''That's your new football coach, Cleveland.*** A Polian tree grows in the NFL.In the span of 25 hours last week, three teams hired new general managers: Jacksonville named David Caldwell late Tuesday afternoon, San Diego picked Tom Telesco at midday Wednesday, and Carolina announced David Gettleman. All got their start in the NFL when hired by Bill Polian -- Gettleman in Buffalo, and Caldwell and Telesco out of John Carroll University (along with son Chris Polian) with the Carolina Panthers. "Bill's the linchpin for me and Tom,'' Caldwell said. "I would venture to say no, I wouldn't be here right now if not for Bill."Said Polian: "All three are the epitome of football men. Football teams need to be led by football men who know how coaches think, how players think. You can't learn that in business school or law school.''So much for capologists rising to GM jobs ...Now for your email: I AM BLUSHING. "Thank you for the peek into the locker room meeting between Peyton Manning and Ray Lewis. This is why you are appreciated by fans of the game. These are the types of revealing moments that fans long to see, but unfortunately they always occur behind the scenes where we cannot share in them. Reading how Mr. Lewis called Mr. Manning a great warrior was touching and revealing of the respect they have for one another, and I think this should not be lost on the players of today's generation. Mr. Manning displayed a lot of class to seek out and congratulate the victorious Mr. Lewis.'' -- From Kenneth Garrett, Covington, Ky.I have covered the NFL for 29 seasons, and this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a post-game setting. These men will go down as two of the top -- whatever -- 20, 25, 30 players in history when they're finished, and the respect that they had for one another was a lesson for future generations of players. Thank you for writing. ON RAHIM MOORE. "While I think it is correct to criticize the Denver safety Rahim Moore for allowing the 70 yard TD pass at the end of the Broncos-Ravens game I think it is completely unfair and unprofessional to suggest it was "laziness" as a possible culprit. You don't think that kid is heart broken over what happened? He screwed up big time but don't pour salt in his wound by suggesting he was lazy.'' -- From Rudy Dyck, of Kingsville, Ontario.I said he was either lazy or had a lapse in concentration. It was one of the two, probably the latter. I understand your outrage, but how do you or I know which it was? OUTRAGE OVER PETE CARROLL. "How do you write an entire column about the four games last weekend and not mention Pete Carroll's inexcusable icing of the kicker? First, statistics show it doesn't work. Second, he looked to be asking who called the timeout when it is pretty clear on replay that he is the one who called the timeout. Do you have any insight on this issue that cost them the game.'' -- From Chris Reagan, of Middletown, N.J.No, I don't. I'm not a big icing fan. To me, as much damage can be done to a kicker by making him kick when he's a little bit rushed -- as Matt Bryant would have been before the timeout -- as by giving him 45 seconds to get his bearings and prepare. But I don't know who called it. If I were a coach, that would not be in my repertoire. PEYTON'S PLACE. "It's unfortunate that we live in an era where an all-time great quarterback like Manning is routinely criticized for not being able to win the 'big one.' Despite the fact that he has won a Super Bowl, he seems destined to be treated as Marino, to Brady's Montana (another unfair comparison). Marino never had a defense or a running game. Saturday, Manning brought his team within a minute of victory, only to have it taken away by a poor defense. Montana played on teams so great on both sides of the ball that the backup (albeit another Hall of Famer) was able to step in and win. Likewise, all of Brady's Super Bowl victories came when he played on a team with a great defense, something the Pats have not had in their recent Super Bowl failures.'' -- From Dan, of New York City.I'd agree, although Manning made a gigantic gaffe to help Denver lose this game. You can't overlook the terrible overtime interception. I blame Rahim Moore more than Manning, but the quarterback has to take his share of the blame when he throws an interception in overtime on a ball he knows he should never have thrown. PEYTON AND THE PLAYOFFS. "For Peyton Manning, what I think is the most glaring statistic isn't the total number of playoff loses, it's the number of one-and-done games, most of which are at home as a top three seed. He's been knocked out of the playoffs eight times in the first game. Compared to the likes of Elway, Favre, Brady, that number is incredible.'' -- From Sean McCarthy, Boston.Agreed. You can't hide that. Comments More NFL

A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
09 Jul 2012 04:32 GMT | Politics, Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Pakistan
At least 21 people have been killed in drone strikes in Pakistan's North Waziristan days after the South Asian country agreed to reopen the NATO supply routes into Afghanistan.
According to official sources, six missiles were fired from a US drone at a compound in Gharlamay village of Datta Khel town near the border with neighbouring Afghanistan.
Security officials identified the dead as "militants".
It was the first drone attack since Islamabad reached a deal with Washington to reopen land routes into Afghanistan after the US apologised for the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers in an air strike in November last year.
The initial strike on a house killed nine. Then three others were killed in a second attack when they drove to the site to recover dead bodies. And a third drone killed another three five minutes later, a senior security official in Peshawar told the AFP news agency.
A similar attack in the region on Sunday killed six.
Akbar Ahmed, former Pakistan ambassador to the UK, said: "It can't go against the will of the people and Pakistan is quite unanimous in rejecting the drone strikes on its territory."
"All the political parties, parliament and military have categorically condemned the strikes," he said.
Ahmed told Al Jazeera: "We know that in the past there were all kinds of backdoor dealings - we are told we don't know for sure - between Pakistan and the US which sort of winked and nudged and looked the other way while drone strikes would be conducted."
"Now those days have gone because the relationship between the two country is so brittle and tense. And anything smacking of backdoor dealings would really risk a reaction in the public against the government in Pakistan," he said.
The US has stepped up drone attacks in North Waziristan in recent weeks in an area seen as a hub for armed groups who attack US forces and their allies in Afghanistan.
Datta Khel is considered a stronghold of Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a Taliban commander accused of sending fighters across the border to fight NATO troops in Afghanistan.
Many Pakistanis say drone attacks that kill civilians are a violation of Pakistani sovereignty.
Meanwhile, there have been protests in major Pakistani cities over the re-opening of supply routes. The Taliban has promised to attack NATO supply trucks traveling along Pakistani roads into Afghanistan.

I want to know how i can access a webpage through Tor, in Python.
There are a few similar questions, but none of them are completely answered and alot of the answers outright wrong.
The first page i stumbled upon was this; Tor with Python?, and the most popular answer on there is;
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "127.0.0.1:8118"})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]
print opener.open('http://www.google.com').read()
there are a few pages with similar answers, anyway somebody on that page commented;
"It may be worthwhile for people reading this thread to know that port 8118 is actually Privoxy's port, not Tor. Tor is a strictly SOCKS-only proxy (port 9050) so it rejects all non-SOCKS traffic (e.g. HTTP). To handle non-SOCKS traffic, you would need to use Privoxy (port 8118) or Polipo (port 8123) to translate the traffic into SOCKS so Tor would accept.
Privoxy is better for privacy and Polipo is better for performance because it does caching."
so this wont get me anywhere, after some searching around i found this Python urllib over TOR?
i downloaded socksipy, and tried the code. it works, but i get the same error as this guy. theres no accepted answer to his problem. the post is from 2011, i thought a new question where i try to clarify was in order.
alternatively, is there a good library for dealing with Tor?

Rivers, Clippers look at 10 possible lineups for Game 5 vs. Blazers
LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Clippers have taken a double whammy maybe the biggest in a single day in NBA playoff history.
Perennial All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have been ruled out of the rest of the Clippers first-round playoff series with the Trail Blazers due to injuries.
Is one team losing two players of that magnitude at the same time in the postseason unprecedented?
Theyre 1 and 2 (in terms of importance) on our team, coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday after practice at the Clippers training facility. Im sure it has happened. I dont know when. I can tell you for a fact it has never happened before in the same game.
Paul, the point guard, floor leader and best player of the Clippers, suffered a fracture of the third metatarsal in his right hand during the third quarter of Portlands 98-84 victory Monday night at Moda Center. Paul underwent surgery Tuesday; in a release, the club said he is out indefinitely. Sources say he will be lost for at least a month.
Later in the quarter, Griffin left the game after aggravating a quadriceps tendon injury that had caused him to miss time during the regular season. A Tuesday morning MRI revealed no further structural damage, but the five-time All-Star power forward will miss the rest of the season, beginning with Wednesday nights Game 5 at Staples Center.
Paul was averaging 23.8 points he scored at least 25 in each of the first three games and 7.3 assists in the series. He scored the Clippers first 12 points in Game 4. Griffin was averaging 15.0 points and 8.8 rebounds in the series.
We have to move on to the next step for us, Rivers said. Its a 2-2 series. We still have homecourt (advantage). No one has won a road game yet in the series. Now we have to find a way to win (Wednesday). Thats as far ahead as we can think right now.
My job is to make sure the guys are ready and focused. When you have the injuries we have, its easy to think of all kinds of other stuff.
Rivers would give only hints about which players will replace Paul and Griffin in the starting lineup.
We had 10 different lineups on the board today, he said. Most likely it will be a pretty big lineup, but were not sure yet. Theres a big consensus of going really big, and then theres one of going really small. Well have to figure that out.
At point guard, Rivers could go to his son, Austin, a slasher on offense and one of the teams best perimeter defenders. Or he could go with veteran Jamal Crawford, recently named the NBAs Sixth Man of the Year for the third time. Crawford started five games this season, scoring 37, 32 and 30 points in three of those games.
Thats attractive, Rivers said.
Jeff Green, the 6-9 forward who had his best game of the series with 17 points and five rebounds Monday night, would be the likely replacement for Griffin.
Rivers may choose to go with both his son and Crawford in the starting backcourt and bring J.J. Redick who is dealing with a sore heel off the bench. The normally sharpshooting Redick has made 5 of 23 shots from the field in the last two games.
How much has the injury affected Redicks shot?
Id like to say it hasnt, but its definitely in the back of your mind, he said Tuesday. Its just something I have to work through, and figure out a way to make shots.
The loss of Paul and Griffin changes things in our offense, for sure, Rivers said. He said he will run a motion offense he installed during training camp.
The times Chris has been off the floor, weve run our motion stuff and been very effective with it, Rivers said. Its a blessing we did that. Thank God we did that.
Now playing without him, well be in motion for 48 minutes. We have guys with Austin and Jamal who are more scoring-oriented. Anybody can start the offense, but the ball has to move.
Paul defended Portlands Damian Lillard through most of the first four games, holding the Blazers leading scorer to a 20.5-point average and .365 shooting.
Our best defense was when we had CP and Austin guarding people, Rivers said. Now we just have one. Thats going to be hard, theres no doubt about it. That leaves one of those guys (Lillard and backcourt mate CJ McCollum) being guarded by somebody else.
Redick said the Clippers are down, but not out.
Its really disappointing, he said. You feel bad for Chris and Blake, but were in the middle of a playoff series. We still have work to do.
You cant feel sorry for yourself. You cant let go of the rope right now. We have three games to win two. We have to figure out a way to do it.

It's a bold statement to say that I love a foundation after only using it three or four days, but that's all the time it took for me to see how NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint SPF 30 rocks.
I put it through its paces last weekend on my three-day trip to Monterey and Carmel, and I can't remember the last time I thought my skin looked better, whether in real life or pics. I think when you're on vacation — and, assuming that you're wearing makeup on that vacation because, let's face it, on some vacations, like beach vacations or long walking tours, you don't always want to wear makeup, especially a full face of makeup — that's a good time to really test a new foundation, because you're out and about for long stretches of time and probably taking hundreds of pictures along the way.
Also, and maybe this is just me, but I don't like to spend a ton of time on my makeup when I'm on vacation, especially first thing in the morning. I can usually tolerate spending about 15 minutes (ideally less), but then I want to be out the door because adventure awaits!
I can say with absolute certainty that new NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint — which is really just a fancy name for a tinted moisturizer with an almost fabric-like matte finish — is the sh*t. Based on the crucial vacation/low-patience-for-makeup test, it totally checks off all the right boxes.
In some ways, NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint is a lot like that superstar of the NARS foundation line, Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, of which I've gone through bottles, and on which I've gotten many friends hooked. And, mind you, these friends don't even wear makeup on the regular, but they still love Pure Radiant.
Yup, it's that good, and this new one, Velvet Matte, is just as great, if not better.
Like Pure Radiant's finish, this one looks like real skin, but it still evens out your skin tone. Also, again like Pure Radiant, Velvet Matte Skin Tint contains broad-spectrum SPF 30, along with extra skincare bells and whistles like vitamins C and E.
"This oil-free formula delivers NARS' signature natural-looking finish and shine control with the skincare benefits of an all-in-one treatment. NARS' innovative Velvet Illusion Complex Technology creates a soft-focus effect with a soft-touch feel. Transparent Blurring Powders instantly enhance the look of skin by helping to blur imperfections and even tone — naturally dimensional skin that doesn't look flat, masked, or chalky."
The coverage is sheer but build-able up to medium, by the way, so don't expect it to cover every single freckle or imperfection. My freckles and moles peek through, but I'm totally fine with that right now. I've been loving a more natural look lately, but I think you really have to like that whole, "What, me? Am I wearing makeup?" look to appreciate the finish.

Here's the question you clicked on:
What is the philosophical/true meaning of the song "Call Me, Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen? This is actually a serious question so if you could give me your feedback/commentary, I would greatly appreciate it. :)
I think the song is actually pointless yet catchy
I think it means she just randomly approached a guy she just met and gave him her number. So maybe its about girls who aren't afraid to be forward with guys idk........its hard for me to make sense of it..............but that's my thought After hearing it so much on the radio it becomes a little annoying.
^I agree with evergirl... The song is just about a girl giving a guy her number; telling him to call her, maybe. :) The video is kind of ironic though. In the end, the guy shows his attraction towards her male drummer... by giving him his number followed by xoxo. Honestly the song was really catchy (though a little too "white girl" for my taste) but it soon got played out on the radio.
**I liked the song, don't get me wrong, but after a while it got annoying...at least the chorus.
I totally agree 100% ^^^^^^^^^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oBU7d5oenQ ^^^^^^I like this song better though
Yup that song is good:)
it means call me ? may be?
I actually kind of despise the song, but yet am still trying to write analysis for it. What do you think the significance is of selling her soul? Maybe a sort of social convention on her own freedom, or the looseness of morale in modern society? Purely speculative.
Actually listening to the lyrics closely and looking at the video I think it's just more than a girl giving her number to a guy. At first I thought it was a bout a girl trying to hook up with a guy in a bar or something and giving her number away to a guy but the video shows an prolong interaction between a guy and girl so it's more than the superficial "I think you are hot and I want to hook up with you". There is a little bit of that but to me it sounds like a school girl crush on a guy. She's to embarrassed to actually confront him so she just gives him her number and ends up seeing that he was gay. I really don't understand the point behind that. Maybe it just empowers the idea that it's just a school girl crush and that it doesn't really always end up happily ever after how we always dream about happening. Even the lyrics say it. She has guys following her but she wants this guy who seems to be blind of her. That's my take on it and what the singer and producer try to get their point out. Not sure if it's right.
Wow @RyanL. couldn't have said it better myself. "Sad reality" usually the person your interested in is never interested in u
Good general meanings; I guess I was looking far more into the song than there actually was. Thanks, you guys.

- You wanted change. You got it. Now live with it. (03/18/16)
Watch out - it's not as easy as the packaging says
There are many things that frighten me: the sound of gunshots in my neighborhood, for example. In MY neighborhood. Or hearing strange noises in the night and awakening to find someone is trying to break the kitchen window.
Yes, that scares me.
But just a chilling, in their own ways, are certain words.
"Easy-open package."
"Simple instructions."
"Some assembly required."
The last time I assembled anything I ran into a basic problem. The instructions called for gluing certain joints in a lamp table stained to look like dark oak but made in China out of some cheap wood harvested in the U.S., shipped across the Pacific, manufactured into pieces parts resembling a table, shipped back across the Pacific and FedEx-ed to my house cheaper than an American maker of lamp tables could provide the same "some easy assembly required" product.
Go figure.
The problem I had with the table assembly was the glue. There was none included with the table parts. I checked the parts list twice, three times. In addition to screws and pegs and bolts and nuts, "white glue" was listed. But there was no white glue in the box.
I have white glue. We mend all sorts of things with it. I took a leap of faith and trusted that my white glue was pretty much the same as the white glue that should have been included with the table parts. So far the table is still sturdy and performing quite well in our family room.
Now about those easy-open packages.
I figure if a package of whatever -- let's say cookies for the sake of illustration -- were really easy to open, the cookie maker wouldn't need to make a big deal about it on the package. It would be obvious. And it would be, indeed, easy.
The biggest challenge for food packagers, I think, is matching the "easy to open" part with a corresponding "easy to reseal" contraption of some sort.
I think the folks at Kraft have finally made a breakthrough. Packages of Oreos are not only easy to open, but the package truly reseals with no fuss or muss. I know this firsthand, because I have carefully tested and retested the Oreos packages that somehow appear in our cupboard. I am here to tell you that Oreos stay fresh and delicious in their New Age package that is both simple and easy to open and close. Of course they stay fresh. After Oreos are opened, how long do they last?
Speaking of Oreos, the cookie was first introduced to sweet-loving palates a century ago. For 100 years folks have been dipping Oreos into a glass of milk. In our family, my sons and I have carefully researched the properties of Oreos when consumed near a campfire. Did you know if you lick the icing from an Oreo and toss the chocolate cookie parts on a blazing fire, the cookies turn bright orange and then magically disappear? Maybe you've researched this on your own.
Oreos appeared the same year the Girl Scouts of America was founded. Let's see. Oreos. Girl Scouts. Girl Scout cookies. Do you think their might be a connection?
By the way, Girl Scout cookies come in a fairly standard package. It is neither easy to open or close. But who cares? Who has any cookies left after the package is torn open?
Happy birthday, Girl Scouts. Here's hoping your lives will be blessed by the easy-to-follow instructions of your great organization.

Happy New Year's Day 2009
WeeBalle 2009
Hi, Janit! Happy New Year! Glad to hear your garden is braving the winter. So far so good for WeeBalle. But what a mess I will have in the spring...it was covered by a layer of leaves before the snow came. Yuk! I,too, hate the winter, but it makes me very ambitious. I was thinking of making another smaller area miniature garden in my front yard (where I had the old WeeBalle) but with 3 larger houses that I will probably have to make myself ?? (The neighbors have been complaining that I moved it into my back yard! I have to please my public! HA-HA.) I will try to get better shots next time it snows and then mail them to you, I was not thrilled how these came out. Keep warm! Talk to you soon, Donna
That is beautiful! I saw your other pics and wondered how they were growing like that when you are in NY. The snow pics are so lovely!
The snow makes it look even more like a fairy tale!
Your snow view is wonderful...Thank you, Deb

Israel Vows to 'Push Ahead' With Settlement Plans
First Construction Could Take 'Several Months'
Israeli government and military agencies are reiterating plans to continue with the announced settlement expansions into the E-1 region, a plan for 3,200 homes that will effectively bisect the West Bank.
The Civil Administration planning committee confirmed that it has approved the settlements, but says they will have to go through several stages before building actually begins, including a period of public comment.
"For two months the public will be able to submit objections to the project and after that the debate on continuing it will continue," the committee's statement noted. Some of the plans are already in place, dating back to 2005, according to officials.
Beyond the two month period of public comment, there is also the matter of expelling the 2,000+ Bedouins already living in E-1 from the region to be settled. Officials say the whole process could take "several months" or even more than a year.
