The dahlia is a unique and beautiful perennial flower native to the high elevations of Mexico and parts of Central America. It is a member of the genus/family "Asteraceae". There are now more than 42 recognized species of dahlias and over 20,000 cultivars that are commonly grown as garden plants. Dahlias have become the darlings of plant breeders and flower shows and every year they become more dazzling. My focus in this photo essay and image collection has been to attempt to illustrate the details of individual blooms and their contribution to the overall splendor, sensation, color, variety of types and the spectacle of each flower. In this photographic essay, I have attempted to present a view of the true essence of but a few members of the Dahlia family in a way that represents not only their amazing physical beauty but also the emotional impact and the essence of each floral detail. I hope your viewing of these images is as inspiring and thought provoking to you as I experienced during their creation and composition.

 The Daylily is often called "the perfect perennial ", due to its brilliant colors, ability to tolerate drought and thrive in many different climate zones, and it's generally low maintenance. The scientific name for the Daylily, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek words hçmera "day" and kalos "beautiful". This name alludes to the fact that blooms last no more than 24 hours. The flowers open in early morning and wither during the following night, often replaced by another one on the same stalk the following day. The Daylily is native to Eurasia, including China, Korea, and Japan. The earliest known references to daylilies is from China around 2697 BC. The Daylily is popular worldwide because of the showy flowers and hardiness. There are estimated to be 50,000 to 60,000 registered cultivars My focus in this image collection has been on the details of individual blooms and their contribution to the overall splendor, sensation, color, and spectacle of each flower. In this photographic collection, I have attempted to present a view of the true essence of but a few members of the Daylily family in a way that represents not only their amazing physical beauty but also the emotional impact and the essence of each floral detail.

In Buddhism the lotus flower is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean. Anybody who has ever observed a lotus flower or water lily emerging from a muddy pond cannot fail to see the beauty of this exquisite plant. These images, created over a period of 10 years at numerous locations and botanical gardens throughout the United States, attempt to capture the spiritual and beauty of this mystical flowers and its close cousin, the water lily. Enjoy!

GARDEN VISIONS: Every person who has ever visited, gazed upon, admired, or dwelled within a garden, formal or natural, experiences a change - conscious or unconscious. The spectacle and presentation of cultivate flora and distinctive landscape design can often effect the senses in wonderful and even spiritual ways. I, like any individual visiting a location of natural and structural beauty, am typically overwhelmed by my initial viewing impressions and beauty of the whole. As a photographer, I must alter my impressions of the expanse and concentrate on the details and individual items that contribute to the overall splendor and attempt to document the contribution of these objects to the overall sensation and spectacle. In this image collection, through creative and selective editing and enhancement of my images, I have attempted to create and present a view of the essence of these garden objects and scenes in a way that represents not only their physical beauty but also the emotional, physiological and apparent spiritual essence of these objects and their contributions to the whole --- Garden Visions. I hope your viewing experience of these images is as inspiring and thought provoking as I experienced during their creation. René C. Gallet ~ Photographer

Photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in ordinary places. I have always felt the desire to look for the extraordinary in ordinary objects and to always leave for the viewer a touch of mystery in each created image. As a photographer, I have become fascinated with the artistic attributes of the many unique materials, objects and displays that populate the antique, restoration, and resale venues. The patina of age, the details, the juxtaposition of objects, and the vast assemblies of objects familiar and foreign all provide the potentials for creating unique and memorable photographic compositions that can stimulate the emotions of the viewer. Within this portfolio book, I have attempted to capture the inherent beauty, composition, detail, and distinctiveness of these inimitable objects which are frequently overlooked by the passer-by and the casual observer. A mentor of mine once observed that 'the sign of a truly successful photograph is that it creates the extraordinary from the ordinary'. I hope you will agree that these images have achieved that lofty goal. ~~~ Explore & Enjoy.

A Visual Tour of the Architectural Color and Detail of 300 Years of History 'Carolopolis' is the original Latin name of the City of Charleston, the rich historic and beautiful seaport city on the coast of South Carolina. Established in the 1670's and located on a narrow peninsula bounded by two rivers, the Ashley and the Cooper, Charleston and it's harbor is protected from the Atlantic ocean by a number of barrier islands. Charleston has survived assaults from Spain and France, Pirates, the American Revolution, The Civil War, earthquakes, and hurricanes; all the time maintaining it's grace and charm as the epitome of Southern gentile culture, classic architecture, and tradition values. Charleston is also known as 'The Holy City' because of the numerous church steeples which dot the city's low-rise skyline. Thanks to forward thinking, the city will not allow any structure to be built taller than the highest steeple. Fortunately, Charleston was the first city in the U.S. to pass a historical preservation ordinance, safeguarding much of the beautiful architecture, from early Colonial, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Victorian and Italianate periods. 'Carolopolis', is a place where history lives and civic pride are still very much a part of everyday life ~ the result of the ongoing and dedicated efforts of residents and individuals working together to preserve Charleston's distinctive character and charm. In this collection, I have concentrated on the elegant detail and rich colors of the architecture, gardens, and portals of the area. My hope is that with these images I have captured at least a bit of the ambiance and elegance of this beautiful city - I hope you enjoy the stroll ...

Strolling the Vieux Carré The Vieux Carré (French Quarter) of New Orleans is widely recognized for its bars, parties, music, trendy restaurants, and rowdy business enterprises --- and, of course, the most famous party of the year, Mardi Gras. People have lived in the Quarter since before the United States was even conceived. French, Spanish, Creole, African, and Colonial American cultures have all contributed to the eclectic mix of structures. Almost all of the surviving 18th century architecture of the Vieux Carré dates from the late 1700's. What most tourists and visitors to the 'Big Easy' miss are the residential areas on the fringes of the Quarter (yes, people do live in the French Quarter) The Quarter is a concentration of classic vintage homes displaying their vibrant colors, exquisite architectural details, and the many unique & historic construction styles. In this portfolio I have attempted to capture these often overlooked visual details and assets of the area.

In this collection of Southwestern images, I have attempted to capture the timeless eloquence and creative ornamentation that is the signature of Northern New Mexico - an experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the United States. The combination of rich, spacious landscapes and historic structures, along with the strong artistic influences, sensitivities, customs, and talents of the populous and indigenous Americans, creates a unique visual experience for visitors and natives alike. Once you have explored the back roads, pueblos, Spanish missions, the primordial ruins of the high desert, walked the back streets of Santa Fe, explored the timeless villages of the Jemez mountains and Española valley, and experienced the abundant creative energy of Canyon Road, you will never forget the encounter - and you will return. The colors, textures, tonal diversity and quality of light makes this New Mexican high desert area a true photographic nirvana. - RCG

detail, The emergence of the population's fascination with 'gently used' objects of the past has contributed to an exponential growth of antique and resale markets. Flea markets, garage sales, antique malls, consignment stores, and architectural salvage outlets can now be found in every community. These locations have become the informal repository for America's history and memories and a veritable treasure chest for individuals and interior decorators searching for the new, the old, and next distinctive style. As a photographer, I am fascinated not only with the great variety of objects offered, but also with the artistic attributes of these unique materials and displays. The patina of age, the vibrant colors, the juxtaposition of objects, and the vast assemblies of items familiar and foreign all provide the potentials for creating unique and memorable photographic images. On the following pages, I have attempted to capture the inherent beauty, composition, detail, and distinctiveness of these inimitable objects which are frequently overlooked by the casual shopper. I hope you enjoy these images a much as the pleasure I gained while capturing them.

'A Land of Beauty, Mystical Objects, and Enchanted Places' In the early 90's, inspired by the compelling mystery novels of Tony Hillerman, I was drawn to the high desert of New Mexico. There I found not only a quality of light and clarity that can not be found anywhere else in the world but also a mystical culture and it's ancient architecture that has amazed and inspired artists for decades. The images in this book, created over a 6 year span, are my attempt to capture the beauty and emotion of this sometimes mysterious land. Once you have experienced the back-roads, pueblos, missions, and the primordial ruins of the high desert and plateaus of New Mexico , your outlook on life will be changed forever. I hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as I enjoyed creating them. René C. Gallet

A study published November 20 in the New England Journal of Medicine based on a 30-year study by researchers at Harvard, shows that eating nuts may reduce risk of death. Previous research has shown the health benefits of nuts, but this study provides the strongest evidence to date about how consuming nuts can reduce a person's risk of dying from cancer, heart disease and other diseases. The following are study results summarized by Einstein registered dietitian Theresa Shank, RD: Researchers at Harvard tracked 118,000 healthy men and women and found that those who ate a one-ounce daily serving of tree nuts had a 20 percent lower risk of dying from any cause during the thirty-year long study compared to people who did not eat nuts. Benefits were seen from peanuts, almonds, pistachios, walnuts and other tree nuts. Researchers did not examine how the nuts were prepared – whether they were raw or roasted, salted or oiled. People who ate nuts were 25 percent less likely to die from heart disease, 10 percent less likely to die from cancer, and 20 percent less likely to die from diabetes as well as lung diseases. The study found that people who ate nuts experienced longer life spans even if they did not exercise, avoided fruits and vegetables, and were overweight. It's not clear why nuts may boost health. It could be that their unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and other nutrients lower cholesterol and inflammation and reduce other problems, as earlier studies have shown.Research on diets is tricky because it's difficult to single out the effects of any one food. For example, for someone who eats nuts on salads, some of the health benefits may come from the leafy greens rather than from the nuts. The American Heart Association recommends four servings of unsalted nuts a week and warns against eating too many, since they are high in calories and can lead to weight gain.The National Institutes of Health and the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation sponsored the study, but the nut group played no role in designing the study or reporting the results. Check with a healthcare professional if you have questions about this study or have other nutrition-related questions.

Every once in a while, a guest author will stop by The Daily Weekly to offer his or her thoughts on an important subject. Today we welcome God -- the creator of the universe and all-knowing being pictured at right -- to explain why He, in His infinite wisdom, has decided to curse Seattle with such miserable "summer" weather. Take it away, Jehovah...
You know what's funny about you humans? You think I control everything.
Want an example? You wouldn't believe how many prayers I get on Monday nights in the fall.
"Oh, you want me to stop the Arizona Cardinals on this pivotal third down, do you?" Well too bad! That Seahawks' d-line is more porous than the Egyptian army's first infantry. Not even a deity like me can intervene with run prevention that shitty.
Anyway, despite my unwillingness and inability to help you win your office pool, there is one thing I can claim complete control over: the weather. That's right, hail, snow, lightning, tornadoes, frogs; you name it, I can make it fall from the sky.
Making it rain, the Yahweh-way.
Which is why I'd like to take this opportunity to let you, the people of Seattle, know why you've had such miserable weather this June.
Ya see, thanks to a wise investment I made in a Tucson-area Mailbox Etc. franchise, I'm in what you'd refer to as the high-income tax bracket. (Yes, God pays taxes too. But that thing about death? I still get a free pass on that unpleasantry.)
Because of my substantial yearly take-home pay, I'm generally opposed to any form of income tax. Which is why I've been smiting the Pacific Northwest with unseasonably cold, wet weather this summer. I figure, the uglier it gets out there, the harder it will be for the I-1098 petitioners trying to get signatures to make the ballot come November.
A lot of you are probably thinking this refusal to pay My fair share is somehow in conflict with what's written in the Bible. To which I'd say, "You have me confused with my son." He's the one who's into all that prostitute-foot-washing, curing-the-sick social justice crap.
Yep, not even God's family can escape the cliche that the son is more liberal than the father. But what am I gonna do? He's a good kid with a big heart.
Oh, and for all of you thinking, "Well doesn't bad weather affect everyone trying to get on the ballot this year?" Why yes, yes it does. But if you're so smart, should it really be a surprise that I'm trying to punish Tim Eyman too?

DALLAS — Every good ending has to have a path that gets to the crowning moment. Saturday, Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups paved that way.
He took two shots and scored zero points in the first quarter. Billups said he knew if the Nuggets were going to win, he'd have to increase his scoring load.
"The game was a little choppy with all of the foul trouble and our guys in and out of the lineup," Billups said. "I just wanted to come out and be aggressive. I think I might have taken one or two shots in the first quarter; I didn't score at all. I knew for us to have a chance at winning the game, I had to have an effect on the game scoring-wise."
Billups ended up scoring 32 points in three quarters, 23 in the second half — 16 of those in the third quarter. He was 11-of-12 from the free-throw line. It was his second-highest scoring game of the playoffs and by far his best scoring game of this series.
"Anytime I see a team in the bonus, I can attack and get to the free-throw line," Billups said. "It helps our team out, helps me out. And that's the best way I've ever learned to score, through the free-throw line."
Ailing Kleiza.
Linas Kleiza played 14 minutes in Game 3 and did so with a broken thumb on his shooting hand. The Nuggets forward declined to say how he hurt it. It is not an on-court injury.
He did not practice Friday because of it. According to Nuggets athletic trainer Jim Gillen, the fracture is at the tip of the thumb and Kleiza is considered day-to-day.
Off night Nene.
After two big games, Nene had his worse game of the playoffs. The Nuggets center finished with just five points (2-of-10) and eight rebounds. He had 25 points in Game 2 and 24 points in the opener against the Mavericks.
Thinking of CD.
During the postseason, NBA coaches have worn a "CD" pin to honor legendary coach Chuck Daly, who was battling pancreatic cancer. On Saturday, Nuggets coach George Karl put the pin on with extra meaning — Daly died earlier Saturday.
"Chuck was a guy that when you're in his company, you're his friend, and fortunately I was blessed to be in his company half-a-dozen to 10 times in my life — good moments," said Karl, who coached against Daly in the 1980s and 1990s.
"I remember a couple years ago, just talking pick-and-roll with him down at Michael Jordan's camp. Very bright, very bright. Ahead of the curve from a basketball standpoint."

Storm of paperwork plagues Lone Grove tornado survivor Kaylee Fambrough, 13
ARDMORE — Kaylee Fambrough doesn't have to fall into a deep sleep to experience the greatest nightmare of her young life. The teenager doesn't even need to close her eyes. Grisly images of her dead parents — Gail and Vincent Fambrough — in the aftermath of the Feb. 10 Lone Grove tornado haunt her around the clock. "I think about it 100 times a day," said Kaylee, 13. "The wind picked up strong. I got scared and got out of the bathtub. I was completely naked, and Mom told me to put a towel or robe on and to stay away from all the doors and windows. But I was scared, and I ran into her arms for that moment I'll always remember. "Then I heard a great crash against the house." When she opened her eyes, she was in a field of debris, some 300 feet from her family's trailer home. "I was scared to death," Kaylee said tearfully. "My mother was no longer in my arms." Kaylee soon found her father's bloodied and battered body, realizing her mother must have also died in the twister. The girl's worst fear was soon confirmed. Danna McCord, Kaylee's 27-year-old half-sister, instinctively stepped in to ease the suffering. McCord, her husband Stephen, and their three children welcomed Kaylee into their two-bedroom Ardmore home. "I haven't been able to grieve," said Danna McCord, Gail Fambrough's soft-spoken daughter. "I haven't had time." McCord's days revolve around her children — Cameron, 7; Tyler, 6; and Jaelyn, 1 — Kaylee, and a file case stuffed with her sister's legal paperwork. The files contain correspondence between McCord and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, her mother's life insurance company, a local funeral home and a family attorney. The paperwork represents a seemingly endless source of heartache. So far, FEMA has dealt the family its toughest psychological blow. On March 9, McCord learned her sister had qualified for more than $36,300 under FEMA's Individual and Households Program for funeral expenses, loss of property and replacement housing. She planned to deposit the bulk of it into a trust for Kaylee until she turned 18, only to discover FEMA made a mistake. "FEMA called and asked us to return the check," McCord said. "They told us Kaylee was owed more money. So we sent the check back like they asked. Then they sent us a check for $6,000, and told us that's all Kaylee was getting. We were told she didn't qualify for any housing because she wasn't 18. So because she isn't 18, she isn't entitled to money for the home she lost? "It was her home, too." McCord is flustered by the logic. "We never intended to go to FEMA," she said. "We weren't interested in the money, but friends encouraged us and said FEMA could help. Everyone else in Lone Grove was getting help. Why not Kaylee? So we contacted FEMA. Now I wish we never had. That's not right what they did to Kaylee." Gail Fambrough's life insurance company also stonewalled, McCord said. She was forced to involve the family attorney. "It's getting harder to trust people," McCord said, wondering about a benefit concert supposedly staged for Kaylee recently at a Nashville bar. The Fiddle and Steel Guitar Bar hosted the fundraiser March 3, publicizing "Nashville Cares for Kaylee." No one associated with the bar ever contacted the family or returned messages left by The Oklahoman. "My mother-in-law told me she saw it on the Internet," McCord said. "We have since spoken with a lady who said they raised three times more than what they had anticipated. That's really nice — if it's true."

HOW TO HELPTickets available for benefit concert ARDMORE — Tickets go on sale today for Willie Nelson's April 22 concert at the Heritage Hall in Ardmore for a show that will benefit Carter County's tornado victims. Proceeds from a guitar auction, tips, and concessions will be placed in a trust fund at The First National Bank for victims of the Feb. 10 tornado, which claimed eight lives. The idea is the brainchild of Aubry Harris, the show's promoter and owner of Two Frogs Grill. Harris raised nearly $19,000 for victims during a March 14 benefit concert. "This is our restaurant's 16th anniversary of being in business, and so this concert was already planned," Harris said. "We just thought why not also roll into a fundraiser for the tornado victims. I bet we'll raise between $5,000 and $6,000 on just Willie alone." Tickets can be purchased by calling Two Frogs Grill at (580) 226-3764 or at www.ticketstorm.com. RON JACKSON, Staff Writer

I've been so off kilter in blogging, although I have been tracking, albeit not as religiously as I should. I've just been so out of kilter since my mom died and dealing with those emotions, plus the issue of her being buried in the wrong plot. All has been settled. Now I'm dealing with my upcoming vacation to China which is a pleasant thing, and it's taken much necessary preparation with shots, VISAS, packing requirements, doctor's notes for our panda volunteer sessions, etc. Add the daily living stuff and it's busy, busy, busy. Yet, I find one thing that continues to be in my constant thoughts - food. Which leads me to a daily note I made today in my food diary, as noted below.
New 'tude, take 3,293,456,756,444
I think I'm giving too much power to food - it rules my waking moments. So, I'm thinking that while I will monitor/record what I eat, I'm going to stop obsessing and thinking about it and start enjoying it, I mean really enjoying it. I'm not sure if this is how thin people think, I mean really, do people really think about food all THAT much?? So why do I obsess? I'm sure I'm not alone.
I'e decided that I'm not going to look at a peach and think "you are one of my fruit servings", I'm going to look at it and think "you are a delicious, juicy, ripe peach, full of satisfying fiber and delicious run down my chin flavor". I'm not going to look at my dinner plate and think "I wonder if this is too much" but look at it and think "hmmmm....that chicken is prepared just how I like it or wow! a just picked ear of sweet corn from the local farm and my organic home grown tomato salad"!! I can smell it just by writing it! And what we all know - by engaging the senses and really enjoying each savory bite helps in cutting down consumption. More meals than not should be an event where I want to savor every bite, not look at it as a "filling a requirement".

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
Robert Grenier | 06 Apr 2010 11:37 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel
A number of commentators, including Al Jazeera's Clayton Swisher, have remarked of late on the apparent willingness of the Obama administration to permit a level of unofficial contact with senior Hamas officials.They refer to discussions which reportedly took place last summer in Zurich, when Tom Pickering, a former undersecretary of state, and Rob Malley, a former advisor to the Clinton administration on Arab-Israeli affairs, met for informal talks with Mahmud Zahar, the Hamas foreign minister.Neither of the Americans involved has any official status in the current administration, but it was apparently understood by their Hamas interlocutor that they would brief officials in Washington on the substance of their discussions.
And in February, a career US diplomat, Rachel Schneller, who is currently out-of-status and on loan to the council on foreign relations, was permitted by the state department to participate in a panel discussion in Doha which included Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan.Schneller's brief apparently extended so far as to permit her to share a cup of tea with Hamdan afterwards.Language of ultimatums
More from Robert Grenier:
These are welcome developments and are indicative, I believe, of a very different attitude and tone in the Obama administration concerning how best to deal with adversaries.It puts me in mind of the controversy which flared between Obama and then-senator Clinton when the two were candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination.Obama had had the temerity to suggest that he would be willing to hold talks with Iran without preconditions. Clinton, trying to run to Obama's right on foreign policy and to present herself as representing the "moderate, experienced mainstream" of Washington thinking, strongly criticised the Illinois senator for being willing to "reward" the Iranians in uncompensated fashion, and suggested in the process that he was, at best, dangerously naïve.Obama's spokesmen and handlers, sensing vulnerability, promptly began to suggest all manner of caveats which would have had the effect of making any such talks with Iran highly conditional - until, that is, they were pulled up short by Obama himself, who indicated that he had no desire to apologise for his stance, but wished instead to make this a point of clear differentiation between himself and those like Clinton who (at least at the time) were aligning themselves with precisely the sort of arrogant orthodoxy espoused by the Bush administration.
Having held a number of bureaucratic positions during the Bush years, and having seen close-up the effects of the Bush administration's general unwillingness to communicate with adversaries in anything other than the language of ultimatums - 'Do what we want, or suffer the consequences' - it was clear to me at the time how self-defeating these attitudes were.A missed opportunityNowhere was this more apparent to me than with Iran during the early months after the US invasion of Iraq.The Iranians, had they desired to do so, could have caused the US no end of problems in those early days. The fact was, however, that they and the US shared certain broad, common interests in Iraq during that period, upon which the two sides might have built.Had the US been willing to share its perspectives with Iran in those early days and to solicit Iranian views in a similar manner, there might at least have been an effective mechanism in place to moderate the worst effects of the tension between them when US and Iranian interests in Iraq began to sharply diverge later on.Indeed, there had been very effective cooperation between the US and Iranian delegations to the Bonn Conference on Afghanistan in November-December 2001, thanks in large part to the wisdom of James Dobbins, the US envoy, who understood the common interests at work and who had the sense and flexibility to exploit them to mutual benefit.Changing tone
Indeed, that is all we are really talking about here: Common sense and flexibility. One would not suggest for a moment that the Obama administration has cast off the shackles of domestic political orthodoxy in the US, particularly where "rogue regimes" and officially-branded terrorist groups are concerned.No one has hinted that the current administration will substantially alter the conditions previously laid down before engaging officially with Hamas.Let us not forget that Rob Malley, one of the US interlocutors at the Zurich encounter with Hamas last summer, was forced to resign as an advisor to the Obama campaign when his past contacts with Hamas as a senior director of the International Crisis Group became widely known.The change in the attitude and tone of the current administration from the one which immediately preceded it is largely that: A change in tone, and not a clear change in policy.
One looks to see the common-sense pragmatism of the current administration, in contrast to the narrow ideological doctrines of the Bush administration, somehow translated into a more permanent change - if not in actual policy, at least in terms of substantive practice.Institutionalising dialogueThe point, it seems to me, is to find a means of institutionalising the dialogue with adversaries - whether we are speaking of Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, or others - in a way which permits greater understanding of the two sides' respective positions, establishes trusted means of contact, and helps to mitigate both misunderstanding of intentions and miscalculation of likely reactions.The point of such dialogue is not necessarily to bring about change and reconciliation - though that would always be welcome - but at least to better manage conflict in the meantime.
I have long been an advocate of the enhanced use of my old organisation, the CIA, to manage just those sorts of discreet, unofficial contacts.Obviously, the CIA has been used in this fashion in the past. However, it has not traditionally played such a role so widely or commonly as many tend to assume. In fact, the CIA has traditionally avoided such roles, preferring to stay away from politics and to stick to intelligence-gathering.In order to communicate with adversaries effectively, and to build up the necessary institutional relationships and capabilities to do so, simply using one-time panel discussions and occasional contacts with former government officials is unlikely to meet the need. In this, as in other areas, the US needs a sustained and systematic approach.Robert Grenier was the CIA's chief of station in Islamabad, Pakistan, from 1999 to 2002. He was also the director of CIA's counter-terrorism centre.

Hey , we got rid of one of the biggest problems, Goldson. Great tackler. Really great tackler. Unfortunately, all tackles were after completed passes....unless he blew the coverage. Nobody really covered himself in glory last yr, and for the Bucs fans, "good luck with Dashon. You all are gonna need it".
I think , cc, with the 43 or 93 or how many ever it was , number of DBs they brought into the fold this yr, we are gonna have some talent back there. Reid alone makes this backfield miles better than last yr. Why? Because he can break up passes, instead of tackling the guy who just made the catch...something that drove me nutty with goldson...despite his big hits. With all the mass of humanity we have competing for the 2 CB and 2 Ss spots, I see nothing but improvement. No idea what Nnamdi has, but I don't think JH or trent bring him along if he can't be better than what we had. The rest, I got no idea who has "it" and who doesn't. But whoever gets the prize...they better darn well be able to defend passes, because last yr, even with that great front 7, our ability to deflect passes sucked. I think we are guaranteed 50% better out of the gate, and maybe a lot better than that, depending on how the remainder of the DBs perform...and I got no idea who it will be. Fascinating that JH/trent brot in so many to compete...which I absolutely love.

Here is my team
C : Henrik Sedin!!!
LW : Heatley, Cammalleri (dropped him for the finals), Daniel Sedin
RW : Brian Gionta, Mike Knuble, Johan Franzen
D : Andrei Markov, M-C Bergeron, 2 random Defensemen
G : Halak + Price (I had them for most of the season because Montreal couldn't settle on a #1), late pick on Howard, Niemi (I dropped Huet)
I was new to fantasy hockey. I've wasted my 3 first picks for :
Mike Green
Andrei Markov
WHY? Because our experts in tv keep saying that Defense wins game. Well, naive as I was, I picked D to win the game. Fantasy showed to be another world :P
In the end, with a lot of trades, I was able to win the playoffs!
Drafted 11th of 12 in a standart roto league and still managed to win my pool (104p, 2nd 84.5p). My final team (however, I've made 41 roster moves during the season, only players marked with a * are also drafted by me...):
C: Getzlaf*, Staal, Zetterberg
C, LW: Elias
LW, RW: Ryan*
RW: Kane, Selanne*
D: Green, Boyle, Gonchar*, Streit*, Martin
G: Hiller*, Backstrom, Niemi, Varlamov
I got to draft first in my league with only 6 teams and it was rotisserie. Did a lot of changes but finalized my roster with:
C - Malkin, Kopitar
RW- Semin, Kane, Franzen
LW - Kovalchuk, Marleau
D - Lidstrom, Rafalski, Keith, Green, Quincy
G - Howard, Bryzgalov, Anderson

'A' is back in full force as the new season of "Pretty Little Liars" rolls on. This week saw the return of Tyler Blackburn as Caleb. The Hollywood Reporter spoke with the actor about what fans can expect from the new season, as well as the exciting spin-off series "Ravenswood."
His return to Rosewood led to Caleb immediately going above and beyond for girlfriend Hanna, confronting her father about a tenuous murder investigation that could tear her family apart. "I think that the stakes are very high for Hanna and her mom right now, and Hanna's dad has been absent. I think it's a soft spot for Caleb as well because, obviously, all the stuff that's unfolded with his father," Blackburn said. "It hits really close to home, so it's his opportunity to help Hanna with something he understands, the absence of a father. Especially now, Hanna's dealing with a lot. There's a lot of fear and anxiety about her mom and she needs her dad. Caleb knows that. I'm sure Caleb knows he can help her but the more the merrier."
He continued, teasing that the future is not bright for Hanna and her family, "You should be worried. Things are going to get even stickier for them."
Fans can expect to see a boyfriend team-up in future episodes, as Hanna's beau will pair with Spencer's boyfriend Toby to tackle the many mysteries of Rosewood. "There are so many layers to these mysteries that any piece of the onion they can peel away, that's what they are trying to do," Blackburn hinted. "And it gets to a point where Caleb and Toby realize that maybe they're a little bit stronger as a team."
Blackburn's character is set to transition to "Pretty Little Liars" spin-off, the more supernaturally-themed "Ravenswood." The upcoming series, set to premiere in October, will find Caleb delving into his family's past, investigating a curse that has plagued his hometown for several generations. The actor expects that his character's tumultuous relationship with his father could be explored further in the new series, stating, "I think that it's just a relationship that will be a work in progress for a while. With 'Ravenswood' especially, Caleb starts to uncover more about his ancestry so there's opportunity for that relationship to be revisited through that, so it leaves it open-ended."
Don't miss the next new episode of "Pretty Little Liars," Tuesday on ABC Family.

A young girl struck by an SUV late Friday night has died from injuries sustained in the accident, police say.
Anchorage police spokeswoman Anita Shell reported the death of Ashley Xiong Saturday. She was rushed to the hospital suffering from head injuries after being hit by a Toyota Highlander while riding her bicycle at 6:16 p.m. Friday evening. She was pronounced dead at 9 p.m. by doctors. The four year old was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.
Police say 46-year-old Her Thao, the driver of the SUV, was turning a corner in a trailer park near Dimond and struck the girl, who was riding her bike on the road. Police are still investigating the accident and have not issued any charges against Thao.
Shell says Alaska law dictates children under 15 are required to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle. Failure to comply with the law could result in a $25 fine.
Providence Hospital has provided helmets to the State of Alaska for children of families who cannot afford one. Helmets are available at multiple fire stations in the Anchorage area.

Post-LeBron Cavs sink to new depths
Daniel Gibson(notes) isn't the Cleveland Cavaliers' best player, but he's their fans' best memory still on the floor. All alone, all smothered in losing, Gibson is the last link to LeBron James(notes), the trip to the 2007 NBA Finals, the championship chase of yesterday. All these hollowed-out and lost kids around him, all turning to him and wondering: What do we do now?
Gibson never expected the history he would help shape with this franchise would be the NBA's longest losing streak, but it's come upon these Cavs like a tsunami. The Cavaliers tied the single-season record with a 112-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and they now stand alone forever with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night at the Q.
The Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics that night and held strong at .500 for a few weeks, but it wasn't long until the injuries, until LeBron destroyed them, and everything conspired to start one of the greatest free falls in the history of the NBA.
"We still had a chip on our shoulder opening night, to prove something still," Gibson said.
Twenty-four straight losses and 34 out of their past 35 games has become numbing to Gibson and these Cavs. Ask about LeBron and the glory days, ask about victory against the Celtics, and there's just a fleeting second of silence on the phone late this week.
"It feels like 100 years ago," Gibson said. "When you go through something like this, everything feels like 100 years ago, I guess."
They still call him "Boobie" in Cleveland, and he understands the fragile psyche of the Cleveland sports fan better than everyone else still on this active roster. He had been sidelined with a quad injury for two games but desperately wanted to get back into the lineup for Memphis. He had to travel back to Cleveland for a family issue but returned Saturday and scored 12 points off the bench. He was there for the winning, the rock tour with James, and he wants to be there for this march into basketball infamy.
These Cavs are laughed at, ridiculed at 8-43, and it feels sometimes like they'll never win again. This is a D-League team in talent, and perhaps something far less in spirit. Anderson Varejao(notes) has been lost for the season. Mo Williams(notes) has been out for two weeks with a hip injury. They're starting two rookies – Manny Harris(notes) and Christian Eyenga(notes) – who belong in the D-League. The Cavaliers have crumbled into a punch line now, and this mix-and-matched roster has been trapped in the crossfire of a fight that never belonged to most of them. This was between LeBron and Dan Gilbert, between LeBron and Cleveland.
However James left town, however the owner behaved in the wake, this shell of a team has been left to take the nightly humiliation.
24: Cleveland Cavaliers (Dec. 20, 2010-present)
24: Cleveland Cavaliers (March 19, 1982-Nov. 10, 1982)*

20: Los Angeles Clippers (April 18, 1994-Dec. 7, 1994)*
*: denotes streak covered parts of two seasons.
Yes, the Cavaliers are a mess, but they aren't the first team to ever lose a star, to get hit with injuries. They lost some life in the summer when Williams, a leader, told Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears that he was so distraught over James leaving for Miami that he considered retirement. It was a terrible message to a young team, and these veterans were responsible for letting James have too easy of a time in his return to Cleveland. They offered too little resistance and lost a city that wanted to fight for them.
"I don't know when we stopped believing, when we stopped doing things the right way," Gibson said. Only everyone else does, and it was that December night when James delivered the Cavaliers into an epic descent. Thirty-four games later, the Cavs have one victory since and now the longest losing streak in NBA history.
This is a bad spot for the Cavaliers, and it'll be a long time before they can dig themselves out. There's no player in the draft who can instantly transform them, and even the worst record can't guarantee them the top pick. They can keep clearing salary-cap space, but free agency always will be difficult for them. Somehow, they've gone from a thriving NBA city to something of a cautionary tale post-LeBron.
James left some memories, a conference championship banner and the dull ache of watching him march toward a different destiny in Miami. Gibson had a hell of a ride with James but doesn't bemoan what's become of him and these Cavaliers. He remembers his grandmother always telling him: Don't let hard times make you a hard person. Gibson thinks a lot about those words now. Around town, people are always asking him: What's happening here? For all the strangers on that roster, Gibson tries to stay an anchor they can count on. He can't carry the Cavs, but he can carry his responsibility there.
"I'm still surprised by the reaction I get from the fans here, but I guess that's because they know me and know I've been here through the battles when we were winning," he said. "I try to give them some reassurance that, 'Hey, Boobie is still here, Boobie is still fighting.' "
Gibson got on the floor on Saturday night in Cleveland and tried to stop No. 24, tried to make a difference in a season when no one and nothing has made a difference for these Cavs. He goes back to 2006 here, back to the '07 Finals loss to the San Antonio Spurs and the feeling they would win titles together. Everything's changed, the circus has left town and Daniel Gibson happens to be one of the few faces left that's a reflection into the Cavaliers' yesterday, a link to LeBron and everything lost.

Summary: This paper is devoted to the existence of solutions for variational-hemivariational inequalities of elliptic type, with a higher order quasilinear principal part, at resonance as well as at nonresonance. The approach relies on the use of pseudomonotone operators. By means of the notion of Clarke's generalized gradient and the properties of the first eigenfunction of the quasilinear principal part, we also build a Landesman-Lazer theory in the nonsmooth framework of variational-hemivariational inequalities of elliptic type.

|Undercapitalized Banks 2010 Bank Watch List
FDIC's 'Problem Bank' List Grows
TheStreet) -- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday that its "Problem List" of troubled banks and thrifts grew to 702 as of Dec. 31, up from 552 in September and 252 a year earlier, despite the increasing pace of bank failures.WASHINGTON (
The FDIC said the combined domestic banking industry essentially broke even during the fourth quarter, with $914 million in net income, vs. an industry net loss of $37.8 billion a year earlier. Most of the improvement in earnings was concentrated among the largest banks -- in fact, out of the four peer groups covered in the FDIC's report, only banks and thrifts with total assets exceeding $10 billion had a positive return on assets for the quarter.
Major factors in the industry's overall earnings improvement included trading revenue, which was $2.8 billion for the fourth quarter, compared to trading losses of $9.2 billion during the fourth quarter of 2008. Servicing income also rebounded, to $8 billion, up from a loss of $390 million a year earlier. The industry trend of several quarters' improvement in net interest margins reversed itself during the fourth quarter. The industry's margin (the difference between the average rate earned on loans and investments and the average cost of funds) was 3.49%, up considerably from 3.33 a year earlier but down from 3.51% in the third quarter. Industry net income for all of 2009 was "well below historical norms" at $12.5 billion, up from $4.5 billion in 2008, but way down from the $100 billion during 2007.

There's about 10,000 of you crazy polish in my city Eek! \:O
Work must be really **** over there, I hear that you get paid more as a cleaner over here, than as a doctor/nurse over in Poland Shocked O_o
yup, plenty of poles (? lol, it sounds funny ;p) emigrated to london, uk in general and other western european countries hoping for getting better payment for their work
and work here... well, what you've said is sad truth. most of it is doing crap for crappy cash. And you don't even know if you'll have any crap to do ;p but heh polish government's severely broken and despite that, we're still not so bad when it comes to unemployment and work in overall... comparing to some other countries, of course
and btw our mentality is funny, instead of doing something about a problem we usually whine about everything and blame it on other people >.>
well... i'm not doing anything too constructive right now. Just graduated, and i'm playing time eating mmorpgs ;p
life is pretty boring on vacations.
