Sometimes your cat gives you major attitude when you leave the house for a few hours and take your warm lap with you. She acts all sulky and won't cuddle when you come back. You can't even imagine the carnage that would befall your household if we tried to put this Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats ($5) on her. You'd need to buy a new couch after the revenge she would exact...maybe two. But damn, it would be funny to see her in this.

State of the Democratic Debate On Iraq
Despite congressional Democrats' efforts to draw sharp lines between Ds and Rs on Iraq, the intra-Democratic debate on Iraq rages on, as illustrated by several sharp candidate exchanges during Monday's CNN/YouTube debate. And it's as good a time as any to take stock of where that debate stands, and where it might soon go.
One issue that used to divide Democrats--the advisability and winnability of the Iraq misadventure--has obviously been resolved, assuming you exclude Joe Lieberman from the discussion.
A second issue--whether to impose a deadline for withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq--has also largely been resolved, given broad Democratic support for language establishing a deadline in the suppmemental appropriations bill that Bush vetoed earlier this year, though some antiwar Democrats opposed it as insufficiently mandatory. The exact deadline date, however, still hangs fire, particularly in the presidential contest, mainly because of Bill Richardson's efforts to distinguish himself by halfing the withdrawal timetable. During Monday's debates, Richardson's "six months and out" position gave Joe Biden the opening he sought to angrily claim that it's logistically impossible to withdraw that quickly without dire danger for U.S. troops and/or civilians.
The third issue, which is steadily emerging as a dividing line among Democrats even though most Americans probably haven't heard or thought much about it, is the question of residual troops commitments to Iraq once "combat brigades" (defined rather hazily) are withdrawn. Many antiwar activists, especially in the blogosphere, have made this a virtual litmus test, arguing that any sizeable residual military force in Iraq represents a continuation of the war, not a post-war safeguard. Among the presidential candidates, Biden, Clinton and Obama have embraced Iraq plans that include a significant residual force. Richardson, Dodd and Kucinich have explicitly opposed residuals. Edwards, best I can tell, hasn't completely ruled it out or in, though it appears he would oppose the kind of robust residual force that Hillary Clinton is talking about, and would probably limit it to embassy security. (For an unusually explicit pro-residual argument, contemplating a lengthy if smaller troop commitment, check out PPI president Will Marshall's post today at the DLC's new-and-improved Ideas Primary site).
And the fourth issue, which flared up sharply during the spring, and is almost certain to return in the fall, is the question of whether congressional Democrats should take the dramatic step of cutting off funding for the war to force the administration to start withdrawing troops. As was nicely articulated by Dennis Kucinich in the Monday debate, this is the one step that Democrats, theoretically at least, could take in Congress that does not require Republican support. Ironically, this issue is highly emotional precisely because it is essentially tactical. The reluctance of Democratic congressional leaders to pursue a funding cutoff to the bitter end reflects, in the eyes of many netroots activists in particular, the timidity or even cowardice that "DC Democrats" have exhibited throughout the Bush administration.
There's still another tactical-but-contentious issue lurking in the background of all the intra-Democratic debates over Iraq: the fear that Democrats will enable Republicans to blur partisan differences on the war, reducing its salience in the 2008 elections. This is clearly the thinking behind Harry Reid's determined efforts to oppose any bipartisan resolution in the Senate endorsing the Iraq Study Group approach, which many observers believe Bush himself will ultimately embrace, however insincerely.
And finally, there's significant disagreement among Democrats about how, exactly, to judge public opinion on Iraq. Pollsters have not done much to shed light on the insider "residuals" debate, and public opinion on the impact of a protracted funding cutoff debate remains murky, though support for that strategy has clearly grown this year as Bush's intransigence on Iraq has become more obvious.
Moreover, as Chris Cillizza points out today in a fascinating glimpse at the internals of the recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, support for "immediate" as opposed to "gradual" withdrawal from Iraq among Democrats doesn't follow any predictable pattern of ideological self-identification, age, or candidate preference (though region does seem to have an impact, with support for immediate withdrawal strongest in the West and weakest in the South). Most notably, the Post found that those favoring immediate withdrawal are a larger percentage of Hillary Clinton's base of support than of Barack Obama's. This finding alone is one that will almost certainly contribute to an escalation of efforts by Clinton's rivals to make Democratic differences over Iraq front and center in the nomination fight. Where that leaves the ultimate nominee going into the general election is a question that all Democrats should begin to ponder.
UPDATE: When I wrote this post, I hadn't yet run across Walter Shapiro's Salon piece today, which focuses on the emerging differences among Democratic presidential candidates on the residual forces issue. He slices and dices the field on this subject much as I did, with the added advantage that he's actually interviewed the candidates about it.

"Lost" (Lost Hearts: Part One)
Reviewed by: Neal Bailey (email@example.com)
A young woman in inner city clothes prepares to mail a letter to Lana Lang, care of the White House. Several men in threatening manor tell her that they want to help her. She says that she doesn't want their help, and as they inch closer, she blasts them, telling them to stay away.
Lana reads a letter from a woman named Traci Thirteen, explaining how more and more people are missing from her neighborhood. She tells Pete Ross, who scoffs at Traci's name, Thirteen. Lana tells him that the letter is important, but Pete counters that Luthor will probably just say he's already looking into it. Lana, in a furor, tells him that he shouldn't listen to Luthor, and that she's tired of eating everything that's put in front of her, tired of always settling for second best. She storms out.
In a diner, the waiter calls out orders, looking for the recipients. Most of the food is greasy spoon, but when the corn flakes with whole milk comes up, Clark Kent calls for his meal. Clark hears a sounds outside, and excuses himself because his pager is going off...an excuse. He asks for a phone booth, and, finding one outside, changes into Superman.
He confronts a new villain, Mr. 104, as he attempts to kill a man who is going to rat him out on the stand tomorrow. He changes into plutonium in order to avoid police bullets, and then, revealing his power to be the ability to shift elements, turns into Kryptonite when Superman arrives.
Superman is dropped, but Power Girl arrives from nowhere and knocks a large chunk of Mr. 104 from his body. She tells him that there are more than 104 elements. Then she starts to collapse, the Kryptonite to blame.
Superman, however, has risen, and uses his heat vision to put Mr. 104 down for the count.
Power Girl and Superman ruminate on how the Kryptonite affected her. They note how she was thought to perhaps be his cousin from Krypton when she originally arrived. She thanks Superman, overdue, for helping her get into the JSA, explaining that this is what she came to Metropolis for in the first place.
Superman returns home and changes from Superman to Clark Kent. The phone rings, and it is Pete Ross, telling him that he is needed, and that a helicopter is on the way. The helicopter arrives.
At Ross' residence, Pete tells Clark that Lana is missing, and that he wants him to go undercover to find her.
Later, in Hell's Heart, Clark unpacks. He is brought up in the darkness of the room by the sound of a heartbeat, and a quick check with X-Ray vision reveals Batman, in the shadows. Clark calls him out.
He tells Clark that he needs to leave the search to Batman, because in order to go undercover, he can't be who he is. He needs to lie. He needs to change his persona, and he can't. He tells Clark to put on his cape and inspire people and let him save Lana. Clark retaliates by pointing out that Bruce, if he truly wished to inspire and help people, would become the most respected philanthropist in the world, and instead he's become a laughing stock playboy idi-
And that's where Batman stops him. Clark apologizes, reminding Batman that he can't lie.
He tells Bruce that he appreciates the advice, but that he's not always the naïve, friendly alien Bruce thinks he is.
Lana, somewhere looking very grave and wearisome, shivers in the snow. Clark, in an over-monologue, tells her that he is on his way.
Story - 5: Well, heck. This story is actually really well written, in character, for the most part, and enjoyable. It has all of the things that make up a good Superman story. There's peril or mortal danger for the main characters (rare these days), an at least semi-plausible storyline, continuity (we see what happens after this issue next week!), action, drama, suspense, guest stars.
Heck, you'd think they were actually starting to listen to the fans. I'm amazed.
This issue is great on a lot of levels. The spread of Superman changing is just as great as the Hulk rampaging in a recent Ultimates. I abhor splash or full-page spreads, for the most part, but when done right, they can be incredible, and I have to applaud Ferry for creating such a pose in this one. I want it as a poster. Please, DC. It's great. It's Superman with his yellow shield, back in style.
Corn flakes with whole milk. Enough said. Absolutely incredible characterization, with humor to boot.
I said to myself, no way that Pete Ross' choice of Clark Kent makes sense. He has the CIA, the SS, and anyone else he so desires. It makes no sense, logically. And it still doesn't. But the writer makes it plausible by the scene with Bruce and Clark, where we see two incredible things...the fact that Batman is taken to task by Clark, proving that Clark is just as intelligent as he is (a fact often glossed over), and a reasonable way for us to buy into the fact that Clark Kent, if prodded, and in the name of the common good, may lie.
We see main characters other that Superman. Where have Pete, Lana, Jimmy, Lois even, Ron, Perry, and the like been of late?
Mr. 104 is a great idea. I don't know if he existed already, but a guy who can change into different elements is like taking Colossus and actually making him worthwhile as a villain. Power Girl is an iffy rescue, but then, she does seem to have a foreshadowing future in these comics. Or at least, it's hinted at. And a more simple explanation for the weakness she feels? Heck, Kryptonite in such mass would affect ANYONE like that. It practically killed Cyborg, way back when, remember?
Besides, the area was probably incredibly radioactive after a large man's weight of Plutonium suddenly appearing. That might make someone weak.
And best of all? No little implausibility plagues like in other recent issues of the past. Good editing. The pacing is dead-on, the story is well executed. I'm amazed. Truly amazed.
I eat my words. Superman is not dead yet. That doesn't mean I'm not watching like a vulture... I loves me my Superman, and I absolutely demand he be done right.
Like this issue.
Art - 5: Ferry is coming into more of his own style here. In the past, I have been able to somewhat criticize him for being a bit like McG, but now he's very distinctive, and although slightly more cartoonish than some of the fans might prefer, this is almost exactly the way I'd like to see Superman drawn. Dynamic panels, straight shot characterization, and there's also that wonderful spread. Top-notch.
Cover Art - 4: Not perfect, but definitely better than of late. The logo is changed, but it makes sense, and it's well done, out of the way, but still prominent. The cover is a bit water colored to death, but it creates that street feel, almost negating the usual but still present complaint about the lack of the background. All in all, it may be dark, but I much prefer it to what has been coming out of late.

This book is the result of two weeks of traveling in Bangladesh.
Our goal was to visit Rishilpi Development Project, a rehabilitationcentre, in the city of Satkira, in the south-east of this over-populated country. This project is sponsored by the foundation 'In de bres voor Bangladesh'.
The last 12 photos in this book were taken at Rishilpi.
We also visited the capital Dhaka, the city Kuhlna, the Sundarbarns and other places. During this inspiring trip I took over 800 photos.
Over 150 million people are living in Bangladesh, 1045 people per square metre. Bangladesh is one of the most overpopulated countries in the world. No wonder I made so many photos of people. (Normally I make photos of buildings and interiors.)
By making this book, with photos of Bengalis, I can show you a part of the story of Bangladesh.

Instruments Used in the Performance
The instruments used in tonight's performance are examples of the instruments in use during the time of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. During the classical era, instruments were in transition from those used in the baroque period to the bigger, louder instruments of the romantic period, many of which are familiar to us today.
The fortepiano used in the concert is owned by Rice University and was built by Paul McNulty in Amsterdam in 1993. The piano is modeled after an instrument made by the Viennese builder Johann Walter in 1794. It has a pitch range of five octaves and is typical of the Viennese pianos used by the composers on this evening's program in that it has an action (known as the "Viennese" action) which yields a lighter and shallower touch than Italian or English instruments and which greatly facilitates performance of the sparkling passagework characteristic of piano music in the late eighteenth century. Instead of pedals, the piano has two knee levers. The left lever (called the moderator) acts as a damper of sound, and the right lever sustains the notes. The dampers are made of leather rather than felt, which is used in modern pianos. The hammers striking the strings are covered in leather, causing the fortepiano to have a sound that is shorter in duration than the sound of today's pianos.
The cello used by Mr. Lutzhe is an anonymous eighteenth-century German cello. It is strung with gut strings and has no endpin, which was not in common use during the eighteenth century. The bow was made by Stephen Marvin and is a copy of a bow made by John Dodd, member of an important English bow-making family active at the end of the eighteenth century.
The violin used by Mr. Ritchie is a copy of a violin made by Giuseppe Guarneri ("del Gesu") in 1736. It was built by Samuelo Sygmuntowicz and is strung with gut strings. The bow is a classical bow by Ralph Ashmead.
The Program
Mozart's violin and fortepiano Sonata in E minor dates from the tragic summer sojourn in Paris of 1778, during which Mozart's mother, accompanying her twenty-two-year-old son on a long journey in search of a job, died of a sudden illness. Some scholars conjecture that the painful intensity of this work, and its key (almost never used by Mozart elsewhere), suggest a connection to Mozart's grief.
Although in Mozart's time the lied did not yet possess the specialized style of vocal handling, distinct from that of opera, that Schubert was to create for it, it is fair to say that Mozart was an accomplished composer of lieder, using the piano accompaniment skillfully to create an intimate chamber atmosphere. "An Chloe" is a tender love song in a quasi-popular vein. "Abendempfindung" is set graciously, but its Liebestod textual theme, familiar from German Romantic poetry, makes this a much more serious work. It is laid out in a broad ABA form that gives it dignity and breadth. Goethe's trenchant little poem "Das Veilchen" receives a knowing setting from Mozart, who closely follows all its irony and its emotional twists.
Mozart's late Trio in E Major (another unheard-of key for this master, who tended to pick his tonalities conservatively) is the most fragile and ethereal of all his trios. Its first movement contains passages of exceptionally distant and rapid modulation, handled so suavely that they nearly escape notice. The slow movement is again in a popular style, and the finale is a delicate rondo.
For the large repertoire of settings of songs from the British Isles by Haydn and Beethoven, we owe thanks to George Thomson (1757-1851), a Scottish music-lover and indefatigable collector of native tunes. Thomson, desiring to perpetuate and elevate this music, had the good sense to commission Haydn and Beethoven to write settings, often with trio accompaniment. The Haydn settings we have chosen are fresh and straightforward, but the Beethoven ones are more elaborate—more "interpreted," as it were.
Haydn's A-Major Trio from 1794 is one of an extraordinary late group in this genre that reflect the stimulation of Haydn's London trips, one effect of which was to acquaint him with the powerful pianos designed by English makers. This trio is a cheerful, outgoing work, with a brilliant finale.
—Steven Lubin
The Mozartean Players
The Mozartean Players are not simply demonstrating their period instruments but digging into the music with obvious affection and enthusiasm. Stereo Review
Ever since making their critically acclaimed Carnegie Recital Hall debut in 1979, The Mozartean
Players have appeared regularly in New York City's major concert halls and on tour throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The core ensemble of Steven Lubin (fortepiano), Stanley
Ritchie (classical violin), and Myron Lutzke (classical cello) specializes in the masterworks of the classical and early romantic periods in music, performing the repertoire of Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn on instruments of the period and on modern instruments.
A special characteristic of The Mozartean Players is its format-flexibility: though most often
featured as a piano trio, the ensemble frequently performs piano quartet literature and expands to a classical orchestra under the direction of keyboard artist Lubin. This larger ensemble offered
pioneering New York performances and recordings of Mozart fortepiano concertos in the early
1980's in series at the Metropolitan Museum and at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center.
Touring engagements for The Mozartean Players have included performances and residencies at the Caramoor and San Luis Obispo Mozart Festivals, Pennsylvania State University, Duke University, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and engagements throughout the University of California system. European festival dates have included the Lufthansa Baroque Festival of London and Tage alter Musik in Regensburg, Germany.
The Mozartean Players now record exclusively for Harmonia Mundi USA. Recordings released since 1990 include the complete piano trios and the piano quartets of Mozart, and Schubert's two piano trios, released in two volumes. The Mozartean Players Classical Orchestra recordings of Mozart piano concertos have received international praise, including a Stereo Review "record-of-the-year" citation. The ensemble's recordings of Haydn's ten piano trios, made and released during the 1980's, continue to receive outstanding critical reviews. Members of the group also performed in London and Vienna for the monumental television series "Man and Music" presented by Granada Television, Great Britain.
Steven Lubin (fortepiano) is one of the world's premier fortepianists, sustaining a busy international career as a solo and chamber music performer and recording artist. Recent appearances have included engagements with the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York, the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, San Francisco's Midsummer Mozart Festival, the Utrecht Festival in Holland, the Sala dei Giganti in Italy and the Festival de la Roque d'Antheron in France. Concerti engagements have included dates with the Los Angeles and St. Paul Chamber Orchestras, and a tour of North America with the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg. His Decca recording of the five Beethoven concertos with Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music was chosen as one of the "recordings of the year" by The New York Times, Stereo Review and Gramophone; his first Beethoven-sonata album and a recording of the Schubert "Trout" Quintet with members of the Academy of Ancient Music have also been released on Decca. Mr. Lubin has served as soloist and conductor of the Mozartean Players Orchestra in a series of Mozart-concerto recordings for Arabesque, and now records extensively on the Harmonia Mundi label, which has released the Mozart piano concertos, the Brahms horn trios, the complete piano trios and quartets of Mozart, and the piano trios of Schubert.
Myron Lutzke (classical cello) is considered to be one of the foremost American players on eighteenth-century cello. Active as a performer on both modern and period instruments, he is a member of the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble, the Aulos Ensemble, and the Bach Ensemble, and serves as principal cellist of the Orchestra of St. Luke's, the Classical Band, the Handel & Haydn Society Orchestra, the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, and the Drottningholm Festival Orchestra in Sweden. Mr. Lutzke tours extensively as a recitalist and chamber player throughout North America, Europe and Australia. He has performed at the Tanglewood, Ravinia, Caramoor, Aston Magna and Mostly Mozart Festivals. As a continuo player he has performed in the Metropolitan Opera production of Handel's Julius Caesar and in Peter Sellers' television production of the Mozart-DaPonte operas that were recorded in Vienna and broadcast over PBS. Mr. Lutzke has recorded for the Arabesque, Decca, Deutsche Grammophone, Dorian, Harmonia Mundi, Musical Heritage Society, Musicmaster, Nonesuch, Sony Classics, and Teldec labels. He is currently a member of the Early Music faculty of the Mannes College of Music, where he teaches baroque cello and performance practice.
Stanley Ritchie (classical violin) joined The Mozartean Players in 1987. An internationally recognized authority on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century performance practice, he is a founding member of the summer music festival and academy Aston Magna, is a member of the ensemble Three Parts Upon a Ground, and is half of Duo Geminiani with keyboard artist Elisabeth Wright. Mr. Ritchie has soloed with the Mostly Mozart, Tanglewood and Ravinia Festivals in the United States, the Lufthansa Festival in London, and frequently guest-conducts and solos with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. His activities as a modern violinist have included numerous tours and recordings as first violinist of the Philadelphia String Quartet and as concertmaster of the New York City Opera and Musica Aeterna Orchestra. Mr. Ritchie has recorded for Decca, EMI, Focus, Harmonia Mundi, Musical Heritage Society, L'Oiseau Lyre, Lyrichord, Nonesuch and Smithsonian Records. Currently on the faculty of the Early Music Institute of Indiana University's School of Music in Bloomington, Mr. Ritchie conducts the Bloomington Baroque Orchestra and has taught master classes at the Royal Copenhagen Conservatory, Yale University, and the Juilliard School.
Ellen Hargis
Ellen Hargis, soprano, acclaimed "a national musical treasure" by Continuo, has a career specialty in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music, ranging from ballads to opera and oratorio. She brings her "infinitely expressive soprano" (New York Newsday) to concerts with The King's Noyse, Theatre of Voices, and the Cambridge Bach Ensemble and to recitals with lutenist Paul O'Dette.

An Chloe To Chloe
Wenn die Lieb' aus deinen blauen, When love looks out
Helien, off'nen Augen sieht, of your clear, blue open eyes,
Und vor Lust, hinein zu schauen, and the joy of gazing into them
Mir's im Herzen klopft und glü ht; makes my heart dance, and glow;
Und ich halte dich und kü sse and I hold you, and kiss
Deine Rosenwangen warm, your warm, rose-red cheek,
Liebes Mä dchen, und ich schließ e dear maid, and fold you,
Zitternd dich in meinen Arm, trembling, in my arms,
Mä dchen, Mä dchen, und ich drü cke maiden, maiden, and press you
Dich an meinen Busen fest, close to my breast
Der im letzten Augenblicke where until my last dying moment
Sterbend nur dich von sich lä ß t; I would gladly hold you;
Den berauschten Blick umschattet then my enraptured gaze is o'ershaded
Eine dü st're Wolke mir; by a dark cloud;
Und ich sitze dann ermattet, and I sit faint
Aber selig neben dir. but happy beside you.
Abendempfindung an Laura Thoughts at Evening (To Laura)
Abend ist's, die Sonne ist verschwunden, It is evening, the sun has disappeared,
Und der Mond strahlt Silberglanz; and the moon shines silver;
So entflieh'n des Lebens schö nste Stunden, so fleet away life's fairest hours,
Flieh'n vorü ber wie im Tanz! they fly past as in a dance.
Bald entflicht des Lebens bunte Szene, Soon life's motley scene is over,
Und der Vorhang rollt herab. and the curtain falls.
Aus ist unser Spiel! Des Freundes Träne Our play is ended! Our friend's tears
Fließ et schon auf unser Grab. flow already on our grave.
Bald vielleicht mir weht, wie Westwind leise Soon, perhaps, is borne towards me,
Eine stille Ahnung zu - like the gentle west wind, a still foreboding -
Schließ ' ich dieses Lebens Pilgerreise, I will end this life's pilgrimage,
Fliege in das Land der Ruh. and fly tot he land of rest.
Werd't ihr dann an meinem Grabe weinen, If you will weep then by my grave,
Trauernd meine Asche seh'n, and mourn my ashes,
Dann, o Freunde, will ich euch erscheinen then, o friends, I will appear to you,
Und will Himmel auf euch weh'n. bringing a breath of heaven;
Schenk' auch du ein Trä nchen mir Shed for me a tear, you also,
Und pflü cke mir ein Veilchen auf mein Grab; and pluck for me a violet from my grave.
Und mit deinem seelenvollen Blicke and let your tender eye
Sich dann sanft auf mich herab. Look gently down on me.
Weih' mir eine Trä ne und ach! Dedicate a tear to me, and oh!
Schä me dich nur nicht, sie mir zu weih'n, do not be ashamed to do so.
Sie wird in meinem Diademe in my diadem it will become
Dann die schö nst perle sein. The fairest pearl.
Das Veilchen The Violet
Ein Veilchen auf der Wiese stand A violet stood in the meadow,
Gebü ckt in sich und unbekannt; shy, modest, and unknown;
Es war ein herzigs Veilchen! it was a dear little violet!
Da kam ein' junge Schä ferin Then a young shepherdess came,
Mit leichtem Schritt und munterm Sinn with light step and merry heart,
Daher, daher, along, along
Die Wiese her und sang. the meadow, and sang.
Ach, denkt das Veilchen, wä r ich nur Ah, thinks the violet, if only I were
Die schö nste Blume der Natur, the fairest flower in all nature,
Ach! nur ein kleines Weilchen, ah, if only for a little while,
Dis mich das Liebchen abgepflü ckt until this dear girl has gathered me
Und an dem Busen matt gedrü ckt, and pressed me to her bosom!
Ach nur, ach nur, Ah, if only for
Ein Viertelstü ndchen lang! a quarter of an hour!
Ach, aber ech! das Mä dchen kam Ah, but alas! The girl came
Und nicht in acht das Veilchen nahm, and took no heed of the violet,
Ertrat das arme Veilchen. trod the poor violet underfoot.
Es sank und starb und freut sich noch: It sank and died, but still was glad:
Und sterb ich dem, so sterb ich doch and if I die, at least I die
Durch sie, durch sie through her, through her,
Zu ihren Füßen doch! and at her feet.
(Das arme Veilchen! Es war ein herzigs Veilchen!) (The poor violet! It was a dear little violet!)
The Birks of Abergeldie
Bonny lassie, will ye go?
Will ye go, will ye go?
Bonny lassie, will ye go
to the birks of Abergeldie?
Ye shall get a gown o' silk,
a gown o' silk, a gown o' silk,
ye shall get a gown o' silk,
and coat of callimankie.
Na, kind sir, I dare nae gang,
I dare nae gang, I dare nae gang.
Na, kind sir, I dare nae gang,
my minny will be angry;
sair, sair, wad she flyte;
wad she flyte; wad she flyte;
sair, sair, wad she flyte;
and sair wad she ban me.
I Love My Love in Secret
My Sandy gied to me a ring, was a' beset wi' diamonds fine,
But I gied him a better thing, I gied my heart in pledge o' his ring.
My Sandy O, my Sandy O,
my bonny, bonny Sandy O;
tho' the love that I owe
to thee I dare na show,
yet I love my love in secret, my Sandy O!
My Sandy brak a piece o' gow'd,
while down his cheeks the saut tears row'd,
he took a hauf and gied it me,
and I'll keep it till the hour I die.
My Sandy O, my Sandy O,
my bonny, bonny Sandy O,
tho' the love that I owe
to thee I dare na show,
yet I love my love in secret, my Sandy O!
Will Ye Go to Flanders
Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally, O?
And see the chief commanders, my Mally, O?
You'll see the bullets fly, and the soldiers how they die,
and the ladies loudly cry, my Mally, O!
On a Bank of Flowers
On a bank of flowers in a summer day, for summer lightly drest,
the youthful blooming Nelly lay with love and sleep opprest.
When Willie wand'ring thro' the wood, who for her favour oft had sued,
he gaz'd, he wish'd, he fear'd, he blush'd, and trembled where he stood.
Oh! Thou Art the Lad of My Heart, Willy
Oh! Thou art the lad of my heart, Willy, there's love, and there's life, and glee,
there's a cheer in thy voice, and thy bounding step, and there's bliss in thy blythesome ee.
But oh, how my heart was tried, Willy, for little I thought to see,
that the lad who won the lasses all, would ever be won by me.
A-down this path we came, Willy, 'twas just at this hour of eve;
and will he or will he not, I thought, my fluttering heart relieve?
So oft as he paused, as we saunter'd on, 'twas fear and hope and fear;
but here at the wood, as we parting stood, 'twas rapture his vows to hear!
Ah, vows so soft, thy vows, Willy! Who would not, like me, be proud?
Sweet lark! With thy soaring echoing song, come down from thy rosy cloud.
Come down to thy nest, and tell thy mate, but tell thy mate alone,
thou hast seen a maid, whose heart of love is merry and light as thine own.
The sun upon the Weirdlaw hill, in Ettrick's vale is sinking sweet:
The westland wind is hush and still, the lake lies sleeping at my feet.
Yet not the landscape to mine eye bears these bright hues that once it bore;
tho' Ev'ning, with her richest dye, flames o'er the hills on Ettrick's shore.
With listless look along the plain, I see Tweed's silver current glide,
And coldly mark the holy fane of Melrose rise in ruin'd pride.
The quiet lake, the balmy air, the hill, the stream, the tower, the tree—
are they still such as once they were, or is the dreary change in me?
Alas, the warp'd and broken board, how can it bear the painter's dye?
The harp of strain'd and tuneless chord, how to the minstrel's skill reply?
To aching eyes each landscape lowers, to feverish pulse each gale blows chill:
and Araby's or Eden's bowers, were barren as this moorland hill.
The Glancing of Her Apron
In lovely August last, on Monday at morn,
As thro' the fields I passed, to view the yellow corn,
I looked me behind, and saw come o'er the know,
Ann glancing in her apron, with a bonny brent brow.
I said, "Good morrow, fair maid,"
and she, right courteously,
return'd a beck and kindly said,
"Good day, sweet sir, to thee."
I spoke, "My dear, how far awa'
do ye intend to gae?"
Quoth she, "I mean a mile or twa.
And o'er yon brommy brae."
"Fair maid, I'm thankful to my fate,
to have sic company,
for I am ganging straight that gate,
where ye intend to be."
When we had gane a mile or twain,
I said to hir, my dow,
"May wee not lean us on this plain,
And kiss your bonny mou'."

Now I need another favor, my best friend is getting married in two weeks and has picked out the most beautiful J Crew bridesmaid dress. I have a few other weddings to go to this summer and want to make this my go-to dress but I have no idea what shoes to wear with it. It's such a pretty color but I can't imagine what color shoe would go with it. I am open to flats or heels and I'd like to keep the price under $60 but would be willing to go a little higher if need be. Thanks so much, can't wait to see what you find :)
Hey Katie! What a cute dress - and how great that you CAN actually wear it again! With that rich wine-y, plum-y color, I think a bronze or pewter shoe would be gorgeous. Black or nude would also work, but that's a little on the boring side. Hope one of these is just right! XOXO Janetor

I installed Ubuntu inside Windows.
Windows was on the C drive. Ubuntu was on the E drive. I reinstalled Windows.
Now Windows is running but Ubuntu does not boot at start up.
How do I recover from this problem?
I installed Ubuntu inside Windows.
Boot using a live usb/cd of ubuntu.
After booting with live usb/cd ,Run following command in terminal,
More information can be found here- > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
take it easy, all your ubuntu files are still right there on your disk. The main cause of this issue is that windows replaced the bootloader(grub or grub2) on your MBR. All you need to do is to fix(reinstall) grub or grub2(bootloader can be simply considered as a program which lead your system the way to boot OS).
just feel free to visit the link as following, therea are THREE ways to bring your grub back, but make sure you have a ubuntu live CD, you need it to boot to ubuntu first :D
the problem is that you have reinstall and thus "erase" your grub, windows don't recognise Ubuntu what i suggest is to make a clean installation :
1 . put you windows dvd format your whole hdd. 2. create 1 partition for your windows and install it 3. insert your Ubuntu cd then install the os along side with windows.
thats it.
altenative is to in a live cd of linux and install your grub again
hope it help...

I'm selling a Maggie Sottero Wedding Dress. It's a Size 6, the Color is Alabaster, it's an A-line with a dipped strapless neckline, it has a dropped waist, and an asymmetric ruched corset. It has never been worn or altered. It's a gorgeous dress. To give you an idea of the fit, I'm 5'6″ and weigh 140lbs. I bought it in July of 2013 to wear in my wedding in September of 2014, but plans have changed and I wanted a different style of dress. At the time, we thought we were going to have a large wedding with over 200 guests and 12 – 14 people in the bridal party. This dress was perfect for that big occasion with lots of dancing. Now we're having an intimate wedding with only a best man, maid of honor, 16 guests and a plated dinner with no dancing. So I decided to buy a much simpler dress that's more conservative. I'm selling this dress for $600 or best offer. I have tons of pictures including a picture of the tag. Just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Alterations: No alternations have been made.
- Preservation Method: Currently being stored in the dress bag it was received in from the store.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Frederick, MD
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Seller Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

In those "getting to know you" moments that frequently occur in the early stages of friendship, I am often asked which holiday is my favorite. For years I have demurred, refusing to give any Sabbat preference over the other. But this year I was finally forced to admit that Beltane is my favorite.
Watching Eric and Rita bless and sanctify the cider and bread, cast the circle, and perform the symbolic great rite, I was struck by another realization; these are our community elders. As a self-taught eclectic, I have never had the opportunity to be shown mysteries by experienced elders; what I know was not taught to me by my parents, or grandparents. I learned by experimenting, adventuring, bumbling, making miraculous mistakes and reading voraciously. But the gaggle of giggling children frolicking half naked in the surf and sand will have something wonderful; a spiritual community with active, beautiful, powerful elders and traditions that are unique to our community.
Our Maine Pagan community celebrates Beltane not only with the Maypole, but also with a blessing of the steeds (the motorcycles of the Ancient Riders), and a footrace for the favor of Pan. For the last 12 years, runners have dashed barefooted across the beach to be the first to claim a lit copper torch. The winner is declared "Fleetest of Foot and Beloved of Pan" and is granted a hand-crafted medal with an image of Pan engraved upon it. Each year the competition gets fiercer as more people race, and those who race want it more. Fleet of Foot and Beloved of Pan is a highly coveted title that comes with extreme bragging rights. I don't know a single winner of the title who doesn't wear his or her medal with pride, including this year's winner, Brady Kuech, pictured at the right.
Many thanks to Michael Eric Berube of AnotherMaine.com for the Group and Great Rite photos. Many thanks to Tiffany Tutor for the photos of the single Maypole and of Brady's splashtastic win.

Though it may skew a little too fratty for some, this 3 Tier Beer Bottle Chandelier ($675) is quite a statement piece for a lady who loves her brewskis. The operational lighting fixture gives you almost everything you'll need to set it up, however you will need to furnish your own (empty) beer bottles to complete the look. Just don't try to drink all of that at once or you may mistakenly get the idea that swinging from a chandelier (thanks a lot, Sia) is actually a good idea and seriously injure yourself.

PRESS RELEASE: Filter
FILTER "Self Inflicted" Headline Tour BEGINS OCTOBER 3
Dates With Special Guests RED, Otherwise, We As Human
NEW YORK, NY (October 2, 2013) – Filter just finished up their hugely successful North American tour with Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington and are already heading back out on the road for their "Self Inflicted" headline tour with special guests Red, Otherwise and We As Human. The tour will kick off in Los Angeles at House of Blues on October 3.
Filter's Wind-up Records debut album, The Sun Comes Out Tonight, was released on June 4, 2013. Upon its release, it debuted top 20 on the Active Rock Album Chart; their single, "What Do You Say" reached #14 on the rock charts. Their second single, "Surprise" will go to Rock and Alternative radio October 15th and has already garnered some early adds.
Beginning today fans will have a chance to share their tickets, either by taking a photograph of them or by showing proof of purchase, from the Filter "Self Inflicted" tour using #FilterSurprise on Twitter and Instagram for a chance to win a special Soundcheck meet and greet with the band. The tweets and instagrams will be collected and pulled into http://www.officialfilter.com/; winners will be chosen daily.
Recorded in Los Angeles at Blue Room Studios with producer Bob Marlette, The Sun Comes Out Tonight was written and recorded by leader Richard Patrick and guitarist Jonny Radtke, as well as collaborator Marlette.
Formed in 1993, Filter has enjoyed significant success over the past two decades. The band released their critically acclaimed first album Short Bus in 1995, a disc Rolling Stone praised as "a timely combination of grunge heat and industrial ice." Fueled by the top 10 hit "Hey Man Nice Shot," the album rocketed to # 3 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart and went on to sell more than a million copies. They raised the bar with 1999's Title of Record which featured the top 10 rock hit "Welcome To The Fold" along with a blockbuster crossover smash in "Take A Picture," a song that shot to # 3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart, # 7 on its Adult Top 40 Chart and # 1 on its Dance Music/Club Play Chart. The years that followed saw the band releasing three more albums - 2002's The Amalgamut, 2008's Anthems For The Damned and 2010's The Trouble with Angels, while touring the world and amassing a huge international fan base whose member's number in the millions. Filter has also contributed songs to several blockbuster soundtracks, most recently their cover of "Happy Together" which was recently featured in the trailer of the film The Great Gatsby and has sold almost 95,000 singles. Filter's song "What Do You Say" is featured in the trailer for the game Fuse and "Burn It" is featured in the ad for the game Diablo 3.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
A Purdue University researcher says that he has designed a molecule that could lead to the first drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The new molecule prevents the first step in a chain of events that leads to amyloid plaque formation in the brain.
Arun Ghosh, Ph.D., professor at Purdue, used research done by Jordan Tang, Ph.D., on an enzyme involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Tang, head of the protein studies research program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation discovered memapsin 2, beta-secretase. He found that the action of this enzyme on the amyloid precursor protein leads to the formation of plaques in the brain.
Research into memapsin 2 faced a setback when memapsin 1, an enzyme similar in structure, was discovered. Unlike memapsin 2, memapsin 1 is involved in many important biological processes and its inhibition would cause serious adverse side effects.
Dr. Ghosh designed the first memapsin 2 inhibitor. He used X-ray crystallography to map the structure of the designed inhibitor bound to the enzyme. This revealed information necessary to develop molecules that could be used in drugs and specifically target memapsin 2.
"The moment we had the crystal structure, we knew exactly how the inhibitor worked, the interactions of the molecular bonds, and what properties were most important," says Dr. Ghosh. "This allowed us to quickly build inhibitor molecules and bypass the usual lengthy process of trial and error in molecule design."
"In our most recent tests, a single dose of the designed compound reduced the beta-amyloid level by 30%," reports Dr. Tang.
Dr. Ghosh and Dr. Tang founded the biopharmaceutical company Zapaq, which has merged with CoMentis. CoMentis will use the research results to begin to develop pharmaceuticals. A drug from the memapsin 2 inhibitor could go into Phase I trials this year, they say.
The results of this study will be published in the May 3 issue of Medicinal Chemistry.

Police leery of cheap smart-phone scanner app
Feb 27th
Just a few years ago, someone wanting to listen to the dispatches of their local police department had to purchase and program special equipment. Now, modern technology has made it possible to transform popular smart phones into personal police scanners.
Several applications that can be downloaded for little to no cost on many mobile phones stream police dispatches directly to the device, making it possible for anyone with an iPhone, Android or Blackberry to monitor police activity in real time.
The Baton Rouge Police Department learned in early February that its radio dispatches had become available to the public for free or at very low cost, and the discovery has top officials at the department alarmed, said Sgt. Donald Stone, a police spokesman.
Baton Rouge Police Chief Charles Mondrick said criminals could use the increased accessibility provided by the new technologies as a tool for committing crimes.
"I have no problem with law-abiding citizens monitoring police radio transmissions," Mondrick said. "However, we have no way to separate the criminal, terrorist element from the good citizens."
Mondrick said concerns for officer safety and homeland security led the department's command staff and city-parish administrators to meet to discuss ways of limiting access to the radio dispatches.
James Leung created one of the most popular scanner apps, 5-0 Radio, in October 2009. Leung said in an e-mail from his home in London that his app has been downloaded more than 9 million times and currently gets about 150,000 new users each week. 5-0 Radio was the No. 5 top paid app overall in 2010, he said.
Leung explained his app uses volunteers with police scanner equipment who hook up the devices to a computer and upload their local police department's stream to the app's servers. The servers then distribute the streams to the app's users.
Leung said none of the thousands of departments featured on the app have requested to be removed, but he would not hesitate to do so if asked.
"We take public safety seriously, and we will take off any communication that can pose a threat to it," he said.
His app bans any tactical, narcotics, detectives or SWAT communications from being available to its users, Leung said. What's left is the routine dispatches and talkgroups for law enforcement, he said.
But Mondrick said the ease of access to even everyday police chatter is cause for concern.
Previously, those wanting to listen to Baton Rouge police dispatches had to buy a scanner, which can cost upward of $200, and have that scanner specifically programmed to pick up city-police transmissions, Stone said.

Cellphones for seniors and cheap service are in easy reach
Jan 18th
If you think Bluetooth is a rare dental condition and an app is what you eat before the entree, you might not be a candidate for today's high-tech, whiz-bang smart phones. Instead, you might be happier with a mobile phone geared toward seniors.
Those phones typically don't have Web-surfing capability, GPS maps and video games. Instead they have large buttons, oversized digital readouts and hearing-aid compatibility, along with a relatively simple calling plan.
Although senior-friendly phones aren't new, their lower prices and variety are. A recent price skirmish among wireless companies means seniors can get an easy-to-use cellphone and cheap service to go with it, said Mac Haddow, senior fellow on public policy for the independent and nonprofit Alliance for Generational Equity.
Telecommunications analyst Roger Entner of Recon Analytics called senior citizens "the last untapped segment" of wireless customers.
Although about 90% of Americans ages 18 to 49 own cellphones, only 57% of seniors 65 and older have them, according to the Pew Research Center. And fewer than one-fourth of wireless phones are purchased by adults 55 and older, according to the latest numbers by market research firm NPD Group.
Heightened interest in the senior market recently among wireless phone companies has meant more offerings and lower prices, Entner said.
Seniors can get a simple cellphone for about $15, with service as low as about $7 a month, according to an analysis by the alliance's Senior Advocate Health & Safety Project. AGE said it conducted the analysis because price is often cited as a reason an estimated 13 million to 19 million U.S. seniors don't own cellphones, said David Herman, spokesman for the group.
"We're in an environment where a lot of senior citizens are having to decide between rent and medicine or medicine and food, and dollars are critical," Herman said. "The less expensive we can make this, the more people we're going to have that will use a service they desperately need."
Elizabeth Marshall, 82, of Cazanovia, N.Y., gushes about her new rose-colored Motorola phone. "It's very attractive," she said.
She got the phone free from Consumer Cellular Inc. and pays $10 a month for phone service with no free minutes. She pays a rate of 25 cents a minute.
"I'm on Social Security, and funds are tight," Marshall said. "I didn't want to go and get a high-priced thing."
Marshall, who has a slight hearing problem, said she likes that she can turn up the ring and the volume on the earpiece.
"Seniors as a group have either embraced technology or are kind of scared of it," Herman said. "Larger keyboard, the [oversized] readouts, compatibility with hearing aids — these are the critical factors. It's not whether they can text their buddy on Facebook."
In checking out calling plans, AGE looked at only prepaid plans, which refers to a pay-as-you-go system. That's opposed to being committed to a contract plan with a pricey bucket of calling minutes that many seniors might not use, Haddow said.
"We just couldn't find one that looked good," he said of contract plans.
Prepaid plans have no penalties if users decide to exit the plan early, and prices include all fees and taxes that are tacked on to the monthly bills of contract plans.
The Citizens Utility Board, an Illinois consumers group, found in a study of cellphone bills that consumers on a contract plan had an average of about six hours of unused minutes left over each month.
"One of the biggest enemies for seniors, and anyone, is a needlessly bloated calling plan, a plan with way too many minutes that charges them way too much money for calls they're never going to make," board spokesman Jim Chilsen said. "The cellphone market is like the Wild West; it's buyer beware. It's especially true for seniors, who might not have as much cellphone usage and only need an emergency phone."
An option for seniors on a very tight budget might be a free cellphone and "lifeline" service.
Someone receiving financial aid from state or federal programs, such as public housing assistance, food stamps or Medicaid, might qualify for a free cellphone and service instead of a free land line home phone. They also might qualify if their household income is below the poverty guidelines set by their state or the federal government.

The world wants cheap but stylish phones. Can Android deliver both?
Dec 17th
Cheap and stylish are more likely to be antonyms when describing mobile phones. But the global market will reward a smartphone that can deliver on both fronts, a goal that Android phones seem best suited to reaching.
That is one conclusion to be drawn from a survey from Nielsen on mobile phone usage by 15-24 year olds around the world. The survey had some interesting insights, such as Italy's position as the market with the highest percentage of young people owning a smartphone (47%). The U.S. was the only major market surveyed where smartphone owners were more likely to be female (55%) than male (45%).
Only one in six smartphones owned by people in the age group surveyed were purchased by parents, so the results can help shed light on what features appeal the most to consumers under 25. For the most part, those features varied by country.
In India, practical features were seen as the most important factors in deciding which phone to buy, with 40% saying price was paramount and 12% choosing battery life. In the U.S, price was also important at 22%, while a QWERTY input was next at 14%.
In China, the biggest potential market for smartphones, only 22% chose price as the biggest factor. Just as many chose the form and shape of the phone, and 10% said style and design. That suggests a promising market for Apple's iPhone and sleeker Android phones like the Samsung galaxy.
But Android phones, which use a free operating software designed by Google, also have an opportunity to appeal to consumers who want a low-cost phone. The versatility of the Android platform to appeal to cost-conscious and design-conscious consumers alike bode well for Android's market share abroad.

Church construction accident kills three
Nearly 50 more workers injured in roof collapse
January 18, 2013
A church under construction 64 kilometers north of Hanoi collapsed on Thursday killing three construction workers and injuring nearly 50 others.
Father Francis Xavier Duc Dai, the parish priest, said heavy rain had caused the 100-square-meter roof of the church in Thai Nguyen province to cave in.
But Thomas Nguyen Van Thao, a construction expert who lives in the area, said the 10-meter-high roof "obviously collapsed because there were no pillars to support it."
Since building work started in October, the site had been using wooden scaffolding, he added, a common practice in Vietnam.
Thao, who is working on the construction of another church, said he visited the site previously and was concerned that the roof was at risk of collapse.
"This most serious incident ... serves as a painful reminder that we need to consider other local churches under construction," he said.
There are hundreds of churches across Vietnam in need of repair, Thao added, but a lack of funds means that many are renovated poorly, if at all.
Statistics and anecdotal evidence point to a rise in construction site fatalities in Vietnam in recent years.
Staff at the provincial hospital where the victims were being treated said two other construction workers died on Thursday in the same province after a ceiling collapsed at a trade tower, and on Wednesday eight workers were injured when the roof of a market collapsed in the provincial capital.
Authorities in Thai Nguyen province donated seven million dong (US$350) to each of the families of the three men killed on the church construction site and two million dong to those injured. The funerals were held on Friday.

December, 1995 Newsletter
Wei Jingsheng
"A True Symbol of the Oppressed in China"
In December, 1995, Chinas most famous dissident, Wei Jingsheng was sentenced to fourteen years in prison. When the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) made its announcement, protests were heard around the world but to no avail. Weis appeal was soon denied, and he again faces the possibility of spending a large part of his adult life in a Chinese prison.
Wei first became well-known when he posted an article on Beijings Democracy Wall in 1978, a wall that came to represent the Chinese peoples need for an open discussion about their countrys politics. Called the "Fifth Modernization- Democracy", Weis article called for the Chinese peoples right to participate in Chinas political process. No one had dared challenge so directly the PRCs authority, an authority that claimed to represent the peoples interest. After posting several more articles that greatly angered the PRC, the government arrested Wei on March 29, 1979. He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
From 1979 to 1981, Wei was held in solitary confinement in the infamous Banbuqiao Detention Center in Beijing. From there, he was transferred to Beijing Number 1 Prison where he was again held in solitary confinement for almost two years. During this time, his health began to deteriorate. He developed a heart condition, lost several teeth and contracted hepatitis. To protest his conditions, Wei embarked on several hunger strikes.
In 1984, he was sent to a forced labor camp in Qinghai province. "They tried to find a labor camp which was an altitude of above 3,500 meters, because in general, people with heart conditions dont survive this kind of expedition," he later wrote. He was then sent to yet another camp- Nanpu New Life Salt Works, one of the largest forced labor camps in China. He continued to protest his conditions, staging a number of hunger strikes in his two by two and a half meter cell.
In September 1993, just nine days before the International Olympic Committee was to vote on Beijings bid for the games, the PRC released Wei on probation. He immediately began to publicly call out for reform and democracy in the PRC. He met wit activists from the 1989 demonstrations to help set up a fund for those families who had lost members during the Tiananmen Square massacre, and also published several editorials in the New York Times and other Western newspapers.
In February 1994, Wei met with John Shattuck, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State to discuss human rights abuses in China. This meeting infuriated the PRC and led to Weis detention on April 1. On December 13, he was sentenced to another fourteen years in prison.
When Harry Wu learned of Weis sentence, he released the following statement at a press conference in Washington, D.C. on November 28, 1995.
"This is the most flagrant example to date of how desperate the leadership in Beijing is to silence its critics. For fifteen years, Wei languished in the Laogai, often in solitary confinement. When he was released in the misguided hope it would help China win the privilege of hosting the Olympic Games, Wei spoke out clearly, forcefully, and without fear about the need for democracy in China.
He was watched constantly by the police. His calls were monitored and his contracts harassed. The Chinese government realized again that Wei Jingsheng was an unbroken man of singular determination.
Wei Jingsheng is a giant of a man. He has a spirit unmatched by anyone in recent history. He is a true symbol of the oppressed in China."
Appeal for Wei Jingsheng
Please send telegrams, faxes, or airmail letter in Chinese or En-glish to the leaders of China, ask-ing for Wei Jingshengs release.

R-Truth made his return to the ring on this week's Raw Supershow in an 8-man tag team match. Truth teamed with Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella and Christian to face Darren Young, Titus O'Neil, David Otunga and Cody Rhodes.
Truth was written off television (in an angle with Big Show) on the May 28th episode of Raw Supershow after suffering a foot injury earlier in the month.
