USC took advantage of a throwing error by Kevin Rodland on the first play of the game to jump out to a 1-0 lead. Matt Cusick led off the game with a grounder towards the Wildcat freshman at second, but after fielding it cleanly, Rodland's throw pulled C.J Ziegler off the base for throwing miscue that would eventually lead to a run.
SC's Grant Green followed with a single to right and Michael Torres advanced the pair to second and third on a sacrifice bunt in the next at bat. Lucas Duda then plated Cusick from third on a ground out to Rodland to make it 1-0 Trojans.
SC tacked on a two more runs in the fifth on an infield single by Duda and a run-scoring wild pitch by Daniel Schlereth, and one more in the sixth on bases loaded double play ball to make it 4-0.
Meanwhile, SC starter Tommy Milone (3-5) held the Wildcat bats in check for the first seven innings, limiting UA to just five hits while striking out nine and walking only one. The seven shutout innings handed the Trojan southpaw his third win of the year.
The base running gaffe in the eighth proved to be big, as Jon Gaston led off the ninth with a triple that would have pushed across both Rhinehart and Glenn with the game-tying runs.
But even with Gaston at third and no outs in the final frame, the Wildcat offense failed to come through. Robago drilled pinch hitter Diallo Fon to place runners on the corners and no outs, but Dwight Childs bunted into a double play while attempting to sacrifice Fon to second for the first two outs in the inning. The Trojan right-hander then struck out Erik Castro to end the contest and pick up his first save of the season.
UA starter Mike Colla (3-3) was charged with the loss despite allowing just two earned runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings of work.
The Wildcats will attempt to get back on track this weekend when they host

Oh, Real World Brooklyn. What Are You Doing?
After watching the first episode of the new season, we had some questions for the cast.
Last night we were a little bit blinkered by the fairy-tale version of Brooklyn portrayed on this new season of the Real World. Apparently, in the Country of Kings, everything sold in stores has a big BK logo on it (as does the house's main door, apparently designed by Brooklyn Industries). Quiet water taxis sail past one's back door, charming pickup games of stickball — in which eight MTV kids who cannot hit the ball don't get beat up — are a stone's throw away, and bands performing at clubs can't stop yelling "Where Brooklyn At?" Junior's Cheesecake in the fridge? Family pizza outings? Will they ever do anything that isn't faux authentic? When we saw the cast at the Notorious premiere last night, we had to ask.
Did they eat at the Red Hook ball fields? "Not Mexican, obviously, but the Spumoni Gardens," said cast member Baya Voce, slightly confused. "We were taken there on the second day. That has got to be some of the best pizza I've ever had." Well. Turns out Mormon Chet Cannon's favorite place to eat is really authentic: the Ikea food court. "We're all very partial to that," he told us. "I don't know if it makes it to the final cut, but, I mean, most of my time was spent there." And did they have to walk 30 minutes to and from the subway? Yes, they did. "I like walking from the subway sometimes, like just cut down the streets," Scott Herman said. "It kind of reminds me of where I grew up."
For a minute, we thought that a teeny bit of the genuine Red Hook might have penetrated their reality-TV bubble. Would they recommend people move there? "Yeah, definitely," Chet said. "Or Salt Lake City. Also a great place."
Hmmm, so no, then.

Tips and Tricks with Enterprise Manager - troubleshooting EPM/BI
By Torben Hein -Oracle on Jan 25, 2012
guest article by Maurice Bauhahn:
As a hopeless DIYer (do it yourself-er) I seldom start with an adequate set of the right tools to hand to complete a job (such as when I recently replaced the plug on a soymilk making machine bought in Cambodia...a project which ultimately involved multiple screwdrivers, a volt-meter, a pair of pliers, and a knife...and no documentation .
When you
start DIY troubleshooting problems in the Oracle Hyperion EPM or OBIEE
environments, however, you need not fear a lack of tools or a lack of
Your software elves at Oracle have bundled two large toolboxes full of useful tools with EPM 11.1.2.x and OBIEE 11g installs: Remote Diagnostic Assistant (RDA) and Enterprise Manager (EM).
Earlier in this blog you will find details on RDA in the RDA Advisor Webcast.
Our EPM developers have written some Tips&Tricks hints in a document on how you may deploy EM. (Alternatively if that file is replaced with one of a different name do a web search for: >> "Enterprise Manager" EPM Tips << )
OBIEE's installer automatically deploys the EM tool. I'm eager to prepare a Webcast Advisor on EM...but need to patiently await the next EPM release with its added functionality.
Meanwhile enjoy exploring your local http://<WebLogicAdminServer>:7001/em and http://<WebLogicAdminServer>:7001/dms
Use '/em' to slice and dice your logs and '/dms' (Dynamic Monitoring Service) to track memory and load on your Java servlets.
Feel more confident in your next EPM and OBIEE DIY troubleshooting task...the tools you need are near at hand!Cheers, Maurice

HTC Butterfly and 8X sales are strong, but limited component supplies may cause problems
Taiwanese industry sources are reporting that two of HTC's latest high-end smartphones – the 8X (which runs Windows Phone 8) and the Butterfly (which runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean) – are selling very well.
According to DigiTimes, sales of the HTC 8X "have been extremely strong in the US". We told you this might be the case, after HTC reported its revenues for November 2012. As for the Butterfly, it looks like this is one of the hottest-selling smartphones in Japan, Taiwan, and China. There aren't any details about sales of its US version, namely the Droid DNA (exclusively available at Verizon).
Unfortunately for those of us who like numbers, it's not clear exactly how many units of the 8X and Butterfly have been sold. In any case, DigiTimes's sources indicate that HTC's growing sales could be stopped by tight component supplies – including ITO films, voice coil motors, and others
It's said that the Butterfly (pictured below) is already "in short supply in Japan and Taiwan", but HTC is working to secure additional supply orders.
Meanwhile, the Taiwanese company is getting ready to unveil a brand new high-end Android smartphone, which is currently codenamed HTC M7. This could be announced next week at CES 2013, becoming HTC's second 1080p handset – after the Butterfly / Droid DNA, of course.

"Shhh, look there they are.
No one believed me.
Now you see them too.
A blessing of Unicorns.
If anyone knew where they were
it would be the end of the Unicorns.
The one with the wings is the Queen.
See how sad she looks.
She has separated herself from the blessing.
She loves the other Unicorns
but she is dealing with her own issues.
They love her, she knows that.
This is different.
She has to deal with this herself.
She knows she is loved.
She knows they all care for her.
She is their Queen after all.
A song?
I don't know.
I brought poetry.
I brought soup.
I have to try.
I hope she believes me.
She is going to be fine.
I dreamt about her.
In the dream her wings were spread.
You should of seen them spread
they must of spanned farther than the horizon
higher than the milky way.
In my dream her magic horn was a beacon,
it was leading her through the dark
but she was also a beacon for everyone else.
Everyone who was trapped in the darkness.
She led them too!
She always has.
She is our Queen after all.
I stood there amazed
she was magnificent.
She waited patiently and the light filled her.
She knew it would happen and she was right.
That hand from up above
the one she always trusted
filled her with light.
She is the Queen and in my dream
she had returned in her full glory."
Linda was back.
It starts with an L
L stands for love.
Maybe It's not a dream.
'Fairy tales can come true -
It can happen to you...
life gets more exciting with each
passing day...!'
I believe dreams are
just a window to reality.
I believe in Fairies.
I believe in Unicorns.
And I believe in Linda!

I love my cat.
She has 4 legs
and a tail
and triangle ears
and a cute little nose.
She is gray with black stripes.
Her eyes are kinda green
kinda yellow.
I don't know what colour that is?
My cat's name is Bast.
She is named after a beautiful cat goddess
who lives where the pyramids grew.
When my cat is happy she purrs.
So do I.
My cat is soft and warm.
My cat likes to eat food.
So do I.
I am giving her special food for young cats.
She likes it better than the last stuff.
She eats all day long.
I try to eat all day long if people don't stop me.
If I become fat
and my cat becomes fat
I will make sure we eat less food.
And we will do more exercises.
My cat likes to drink lots of water.
So do I.
I got rid of her cat bowls.
Now she uses the same bowls I do.
I think that makes her feel extra special.
When my cat wants to play outside
she meows and scratches at the door.
I let her play outside a lot.
But not all the time.
My cat poops in the neighbour's yard.
I don't have to clean her litter box too much.
I love my cat.
If I was a cat I would marry her.
We could have a honeymoon in the park.
I would dance around
and watch her climb trees.
At night my cat sleeps on top of me.
If she moves around too much
she wakes me up.
That makes me angry.
But she doesn't care.
She just looks at me.
And looks at me.
Then waits for me to fall asleep again.
She waits like that on top of me.
But I still love my cat.
Very much.
Even if she makes me angry sometimes.
But not too much.
She makes me more happy than angry.
I think that is how it is for some married people?
I think a lot.
Cats are awesome.
I wish everyone had a cat like mine.
Then everyone would be happy just like me.
One great big happy world
filled with peace instead of so much war.
I hope my cat lives a long time.
When she dies I will get another cat
because cats are so awesome.
And when I die
I will meet all my cats up in heaven.
I love my cat.
And she loves me.
I do too.

If love could have a color, I suppose
it wouldn't be just any common shade.
I'd name it for the colors of the rose.
In heaven's hues this flower is arrayed!
From chaste love's hush of pink to heady rush
that's shown by cardinal or crimson red,
the rose reveals the grades of ardor's blush
unto the time it's thought that passion's fled.
But in the tint of amaranth, the fire
endures; in purple deep it can transcend,
while yellow blooms in bliss that does not tire,
and white's fidelity will have no end.
Though black the bud, a red will grow thereof.
By any other name, the rose is love.
The rose is definitely my favorite flower!

Blue –
for your arm wrapped around
my clavicle. I thought
I would loose my breath.
Red –
for the cusp of our hip bones
struggling to pull the drunken color
from our orange cheeks.
and our sweat, our sweat, our sweat
in the drenched summer air.
Our pants futile afterthoughts
Left crumpled on the floor
It is here I asked for your respect
And you filled me with it.
Orange –
for the musk smell of our blanket den. I would watch the way dawn light
speckled your shoulders, pale, white-blue
I would trace the ink
of your skin, fingertip hovering a half inch
from your bone.
Green –
for how my name would hesitate
on your breath in brief puffs
like dandelion seeds blown from
My wistful lips when I was
waiting for them to bring back my wish.
Black –
for my sleeveless dress, as we strolled from
your father's funeral.
It was the only time I watched you cry.
There were little holes in the cement sidewalk.
They filled with rain, oil
And your tears.
I watched your face change through
their watery colored reflections.
Pink –
for the way your skin repels from my
Touch, quivers as though my finger-
print were a red hot poker.
You haven't allowed me to touch you
In a year.
Purple –
for the color of her font, as she responds to you. It is an eager
Color. She responds with all the passion of an Eskimo kiss.
You left her waitng..always.
I have been special to you,
she replies to your
Her letters
Who blush
like a maid
Who's felt the hot moist
whisper of something naughty
tickle against her ear lobe.
White –
for the way your eyes punch accusations
sharper then your razor tongue.
They spit
blue crackled lightening,
like an angry alley cat.
My words cannot reach you here.
You will leave.
We will divide our booty
Words that once held my name like a piece
Of carefully folded origami
now hiss cold
devoid like the plaster of our empty room.
for the morning
now knocking on my window.
I am livid in my withdrawal, tossing and turning
I can find no comfort
the tangle of these vacant sheets.

I did not mean to snatch your heart
Like with the claw of a vorocious bird of pray
You fell into my unset trap
Speared yourself upon my harpoon
Which had only been hanging on the wall
You threw yourself into my way
stole my arrows and brandishing them with cupids blood
Punctured your heart without a thought
Other than the whisper of my name
You claim that I'm a siren
I've led you to your death
But it was the birds i sang to
Your name did not leave my unforgiving lips
With swollen eyes from crying
Filled with swirling colors of obsession
You beg to me and plead with me
Blaming me and cursing me
Claiming that i drug you here
Forgetting it was you who snuck in through my balcony
To watch me in the fountains
And listen to my voice
To see how the animals follow me
And witness how the moon becomes my robes
And the stars become my eyes
How the setting sun remains all night
Within the silk of my hair
how roses color my cheeks
In the darkness of the cold
And the world surrounds me
And the beauty of the light i behold
Where in this story did i bewitch you
Where did i make you call my name
Did i once respond or invite you to play a game
you claim i did this to you
When you only did it to yourself
did you enjoy your gaze upon the child of Cerynian
Did you think I'd become your obediant wife
When did i claim i loved you
How quickly you think of these blasphemous lies
Your not in love you simpleminded mortal
Your infatuated and in lust and your lust is a lie

CALM~DOWN !.. I just said THINK !..
It's not I fear
My multi~studded ear ,
Or that I look stunning dressed in pink .
I wont complain ,
As I sip champagne
Of my blemish~free youthful looks ,
Or how I enjoy the finer things in life ;
Like fine art , or poetry books .
NO !.. I never joined the Girl~Guides .
You're being silly...patronizingly .
I dont like damp
But I do love camp....
'Specially in Summer , by the sea .
I like being with Brad and Christopher ;
Young Lloyd is such a dear
And Mourice is such a sweet lad ;
Yes.. I'll always keep them near .
But , deep inside my inner soul
When push will come to shove .
For my own part ,
Who has my heart ,
Yes !.. It's Annie I really love .
But one thing that still bothers me ,
And will , until my dying day ....
Is , when on that morn....
Yes!.. When I was born..

My Only Flame
Love, like fire, is all-consuming,
And forever should be blooming.
Endless courtship is not a game.
As we watch each year's seasons turn,
My torch for you will ever burn.
No regrets giving you my name.
You always will my soul inspire,
Forever be my one desire--
My first and last and only flame.

In great respect of the band I grew up listening to
as sure as Mom passed down Saturday Chores
for I had been chosen to scrub bathroom floors `
Yet a familiar sound would bring me to keep scrubbing
The red album, The blue album , The White album
Then .. Abbey Road , always remembering the sad look on
Ringo's face , something hard to understand underneath~
I get it now, what you were saying all those years ago ,
the many sad lonely tears , secret tears , secret fears
For Maxwell's Hammer was a real one . It wanted silence
Going back ..remembering when John Lennon died
I was in Arkansas saddened with the world .
Then seeing his face saying " Drag isn't it "
No .. this was not my hero in music and song .
he was a stand in hired William , he filled his shoes
bringing diversity to create so much beautiful music from loss
One left standing , alone;; grief struck on back cover ~
The other identity hidden, tried to be part of ..coming together
his world of secrets
He to suffers today , in fear , Faul~
Too many years gone by .let us tell the Truth. Let us be free
The very sad long and winding Road ~
Let us Bury our real Paul.
No more " Mystery tour "
No more fear
Let him be in peace ~

The feeling of happiness, I see in your smile
Wonder what the secret is, what is her name
How long have you felt this, is it for real
Don't get hurt boy, look loosely at this
Did it start with a look, maybe a kiss
Watch what your doing,your face is bliss
Went for a walk talked, in the light rain what bliss
Saw your reflection, echoed in a puddle, love that smile
Looked down as I looked up, stole a kiss
Known you a short time, not your full name
Just call you cariad,I know you like this
Is this far too soon, for you is it real.
I know what I'm thinking, for me it's real
Loving you as I do, is pure bliss
Am I rushing you boy, do you feel like this
When I look into you face, and see your smile
Who is it my cariad, is it my name
Please tell me, so I can seal with a kiss
We carried on walking, rain like a butterfly kiss
Fell on our heads, making you feel real
Did you whisper something, did I hear my name.
We stopped for a while, looked up to kiss
Your handsome face, it lit up with a smile
Couldn't believe, someone could affect me like this.
Stopped off to eat at a nearby cafe, not sure if he would like this
Was lovely hot food , puddings light as a hummingbirds kiss
The coffee was delicious, he gave a big smile
Said loved being with you, time will tell if its real
Had to settle for that, life I knew could be such bliss
Good night cariad, or maybe I should call you by name.
Slept well that night, dreamt I hear you calling my name
Broke into a smile when I heard this
Woke up with a start, in heavenly bliss
Was I dreaming or maybe 'twas the pillow I did kiss
Please put me out of my misery, make our love real
Say those magic words, on my face put a smile
Called you up, you voice echoed my room, I liked this
Listened for awhile your voice is sur-real, ending our call with a kiss
Heard you say you have my heart, on my face a beaming smile

Compassionately he forgave them still~
He loved us then and he always will~
Rising he gave us the right to survive~

Understanding he brings~
Radiant he is indeed~
Living for Christ is the greatest thing~
Only in him may you rest in peace~
Remember each day to trust and forgive~
Divided from him is no way to live~

Enter a storybook tale
Where I can be
The heroine you hail
Lucid dreams of soft reflection
A touch heated with lust and desired protection
A breathe a gasp as we succeed
Join the fairytale with me
Valiant night within dark eyes
the right movement and I make them shine
like moonlight on the steamy hot spring
care to follow for a little dip with me
Trailing like the water at my fingertips
Grasp me around my hips
As close as the breeze on my skin
Whisper lies as I let you in
Lips mumbling up my thighs
bare heart exposed to the sky
fire burning in my veins
Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave
Trembling with desire
Take me till we've lost count of the hours
enter this storybook tale
Where I can be the heroine you hail
She never did come back home that night
Me pacing the floor
Walking for miles in search of her
Leaving me torn apart
Spewing with the turmoil of wondering
Just what happened to her
Who had she been with and why?
Engraved on to my mind
her name
etched in my heart
her love, her sighs
Spiking my tongue
her name cries out
My heart splinters
my gut receives another jolt
God I loved that girl
and didn't even know for certain until today
But now it is too late
I left it too long
to proclaim my love for her
afraid of the pain
which comes from being knocked back
still even that is not as I suffer now
in the whispering of her name
I look in the mirror
yet see her reflection stare back at me
smiling and tossing back her flowing locks
her very presence is felt in abundance
Her huge eyes dark as purest deepest sapphires
class more expensive than purest diamonds
with a charismatic magnetism radiating out
overwhelming all within reach of her personality
Stolen from this world she was
No notice to anyone that she would be leaving
Nothing makes sense anymore
And I long to know if we shall meet again
Some new day in a realm beyone ours
Another time another place
I'll wait for her as I hope she will for me
For true love will never die
Based on a true story from Christmas when a young woman went missing - found murdered... My thoughts went to those around her and inspired to write came this, but I have changed the girls name for the sake of those that knew her... So sad to still have these things going onin our world...

I once met a farmer,
Who showed me the plains.
"What is this beauty?"
And he told me her name.
I once met a shaman,
He lived in forests of rain.
"What is this beauty?"
And he told me her name.
I once met a sailor,
Who showed me the waves.
"What is this beauty?"
And he told me her name.
So when I met you,
I was struck by your face.
"Who are you?"
And you told me your name.

The world burns apart
like paper over candle
the only breaking point
that this planet couldn't handle.
Something turns to nothing
and that nothing's what remains,
that nothing turns to something
and that something turns to days.
Days are made of moments
and moments; made of you
moments make up hours
and together we make two.
We co-create a world
and pretend we're here forever,
let's break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
This world was made to murder us
this world was made of fire
we were born to join a homicide
we were born pre-expired.
Time didn't want us
but we pretend we're here forever,
let's break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
Our minds are vast and lonely
instant pleasure keeps us lifted
it's no wonder every human
has to leave this world addicted.
God says He wants us
but we pretend we're here forever,
lets break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
You're simple and distracting
I say "I love you" out of habit
I only care for you on impulse,
sorry, I'm simply just an addict.
I'm simply just a human
simply made to last forever
our purpose in this world is simple;
let's tear it down,
you and I.

divorce letter---
our names still together
on the bark of a tree

My Name Is
I am the reason people
Lie to one another
Hatred, jealous, and envy
Toward their brother
I will make you cry
Don't care how you feel
And if you are not careful
Your very life I will steal
My name is what, and
Who you think it is
I am the big dog
The one and only thrill
I am known to cause
Confusion on the spot
I been chased many times
But never ever caught
I'll make you do what
You never thought you could
I am bad, I rule this hood
Don't take me lightly or
Say what I wouldn't do
Anything is possible when
I choose to do it to you
All this time and you still
Know not my name?
When bad things happen to you
Tell me who do you blame?
My job is to keep all of you
From reaching Heaven
I bet you know me now
My name is the devil
I cause wars and fights
In every single town
I stick out like a sore thumb
I am easy to be found
When a person pulls a trigger
And takes someone's life
I made them do it;
I brought hatred in their sight
I told you to leave your wife
And your husband as well
You love what I offer you
I make great sells
It's easy to plant a seed
In most people head
Some people is easy
Prey to be led
Once you open up and
Let me inside
You will repeat all kind
Of jokes and lies
I love it when people let
Me have my way
I dance you like a
Puppet on a string
And there's nothing
You can say
My name is, and always
Will be
Mr. devil to you
Hey! That's me
I am cunning, and come
In so many forms
If you are not a child of God
My spirit you fail to learn
I am a peace breaker
I hate to keep things together
Continue to do what I say
We can spend eternity
In hell together
So the next time you are lonely
And crave to do wrong
Call me on the phone
Or visit my home
I live between purgatory
And the inferno in hell
If you forget my number
You can send me an E-Mail

His Name is Poetry
I have a new friend, a new love
He dances with his pure and honest heart
And strokes me with his gentle words
I crave him, desire him more with each passing day
Oh, what deep feelings he has stirred within me
He carries me joyfully, sometimes sadly, on a journey
From moment to hour to the day's end
With his words, rhythmically he calms and soothes me
As does a mother cooing to her precious newborn
With a love as strong and as real
I can not, will not, be without you
You have entered my life swiftly, silently
Yet your power yells loudly, beckons me to follow
In your footsteps, to see where you go
Where you will take me, my love,

"What's your story?"
she questions,
"you seem interesting."
in eyes
I reply, "NOW."
often people become confused
by such a unique response
not this one
she's a beauty
shiny minded stone
lives warm under veins
lacks definition of alone
alone she stands
tallest green blade
each time the oily blade passes above
she stays the same
tingling pulses exhale her pores
she'd rather sink
than have to think the way of worldly whores
malice skips her
no ripples in the lake
dripping from her face
sunshine slips across tangerine cheeks
gold flows throughout waves
streaming locks
sky clear eyes surprise those
choosing to be consumed
by her entice
hands free of envy
no webs to spin
hips unmolested
thighs slick
be warned
she will divide you
no voodoo
or silly twisted games
though safe may escape you
the girl
baby of zero maybes
she knows
as clarity lent us its giant umbrella
her lipstick smacked my tongue
from there
we never looked back

Rain, if you were warm I would dance in you,
I would be like the breeze and whip around you
Rain, since you are cold I'll stay away from you
Its such a bummer cause I want to play with you.
Thoughts of running through the rain with you
Makes my heart go insane for you
I'll hold your hand and slow dance with you
Alone in the grassy meadow just me and you
What would I give to beat along with you
Dripping on the tin shed of the roof with you
Making sweet music on the wind chimes with you
Wet and soft on a blanket in the fields with you
Rain, I'd spend the entire night with you
Enjoying the touch and feel of you
No looking back when I'm with you
Rain oh how I would love to dance in you
Rain how intense is that storm the comes with you
The thunder and lightening that stays with you
Its okay because I still want to change with you
Rain oh how I want to become one with you.

A Kis
Do eye need a kis. Eye need a girl to kis. Eye have a girl that eye can kis.
Eye have kis her in the rain. Eye have kis her in mye heart. Eye have kis her in
mye start of every day for years of love. Eye have only to the kis to go to read more
into kis to find the place she dwells in this old mortal frame of yearning
dwelling place. The kis is purple bliss of alarm blazing love waking me from
death like a Snow White Charmed young man a captive smith to Pocahontas
fame. A dandelion flower lost in the caverns of the depths Ianthe drowning mee
in sea ward tufts of left and right bouts of beating on the air to keep from sliding
to the depths of drowning in her arms of love. A leap at faith a death reprieved
from Grounded Grave a leaping portent making waves of Gragon wings. An
attitude of love refrained in every tuft of wind again the sound of love the beating
of the water on the roof of tin the sound of kis inside the wind and rain. A younger
man and woman would have hardware in the way the nose and yes the nose gay
and the corners of the vampyrific fangs. The center of the tongue is one the belly
button too. The snooker table has a cue it's called the ball extender bridge it's a
cheater it's made to let the basest man to reach her in the wind. There is so
many problems with people the gas is oughta sight at the pumps this country is
no longer prominent but a third world country going south. The end of time has
come and arrived the ruthless and worthless rule in the name of god money and
time. Take a number wait in line what's your name please fill this out and wait.
The number of his namme. Have you got a credit card or payment of any kind iff
you can give me seven dollars for an office visit eye will help you the doctor is inn.
The man was lighting a candle in front of the computer and the lieberrian asked
him what do you think you are doing he said eye cannot see the screen. There is
not very many rich people in all those cars on the highway whizzing by the most of
them is middle class or less the plastic hose on the back seat is a siphon they
use it to get gas. Eye had too many problems at home growing up to ever be a
father. The age factor plus the drug indicator keeps me from trying to further my
benefactor with fodder or with mudder. The morality of this hurried fable of
dividing documents is this a kis.

Act I
Evening. A boy offer to a girl in a balcony a white rose.
Flower among wild flowers, white flower, white rose,
Come now to the balcony and stretch your hand fair.
I shall boon you with a flower worth to be your pair:
Flower among wild flowers, white flower, white rose,
If my name do not cause you shame or a light blush,
Then give it to the four winds and offer me a trade:
Your name so I can follow the open road ahead
In the woods of ancient trees and newborn lush.
I climb to you under the crimson lover's moon
And leave after in your lips I see a new bloom.
Even for the sun, it is hard to go in a maiden's room,
The window's glass does not mean to halt his strike,
Both heat and love can be gentle and scorching alike:
Even for the sun, it is hard to go in a maiden's room.
Without a key, even the wind will remain outside,
A key with gold and silver blending also so rare
That truth and beauty merge with the same share.
Is it true? I will keep my purity and forfeit my pride.
Oh, give me a full moon night to dream and return
With another boon to make my face and heart burn.
Act II
The girl goes to the backyard of her house where we see a rose tree.
Oh, my heart wakes with such sweet melody.
I wonder if angels are dancing while hearing.
How is it possible? My heart is under custody
of three small words, my eyes are now tearing:
what do I see in the three of my youth days?
A rose is gone? And the same rose that I hold?
Now a sharpening grasp on my heart I can feel,
Why the truth was hidden, why didn't he told
He came to steal? Better if he also tried to steal
Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days?
Act III
Before the balcony. It is morning. The boy is alone. With another rose.
The girl came with a hand on her bosom,
Carrying white roses on an osier basket.
"here" ,she said and then a white cascade
Appeared and covered the young lad,
"do not stand still, why just one blossom?
Better to love as many as you can get,
Make all flowers, all white roses be mine,
And my heart will be your love's shrine.
The boy danced under the white rain:
"Tomorrow", he said, "I will steal again".

N When loves becomes e-z we will walk hand and hand with our enemies
when greed becomes powerless we will sail back from overseas
When loves becomes e-z it will B e-z 2 love,

When loves becomes e-z we will finally let our graud down
when i find love U'll B safe when i'm around

and that hate will back fire on me like a broken gun
hate is so e-z and love is so hard,
we love to hate the devil and fear to love God....
if we could love jus 2 love, my love will be everlasting
it will be bullet proof instead of plastic
When loves becomes e-z i will love like the 1st
mayB my mind will unfold, mayB this bubble will brust
it's better not to love at all then to love and lost
because trying to gain that love back is a debtly cost
and when loves becomes e-z a smile will become a gift
5 fingerz will become a hand N that hand will become a lift
When loves becomes e-z the most meaningful word will B firend
and When loves becomes e-z i will love you again

Curiousity is definately an understatement,
an obsession, or crazy desire. More like it.
The smell, the sound, feel or taste.
All senses working as one to create it,
a higly addictive state of mind, full of haste.
Anyone can or can't, make it happen or work it.
Expressions, and high emotions
or is it just the motions?
Is it your surroundings that create, this
vindictive passion?
Or is it words that get this fantasy going?
It's a different motivation for everyone,
result is the same.. I want you to say my name.

For Thee…Oo my Love
I hand over all of love and life of mine
In the name of life
whose sharp claws have a grip on the heart of death
In the name of love
whose flapping wings cool down the flare-up of hate
I surrender
Thou are all in all to my love and life.

If the lovely breeze had a name
we could drift together as two dandelion wishes
floating wanton on foamy winds.
If the river were rolling, gently
we could slide in and swim
for hours, without rushing
and love is like that.
Love is like still water
standing so deep in a vessel
yet so easily broken upon the smallest of stones;
scattered, and yet-
from this another river begins
(as you begin)
How lovely if you had a name
I would call out to you
and I would hear your reply as
the wind blowing, the water rushing
and not your echoes
as you trickled across so many small, jagged stones

no greater beauty
then the budding days of spring
I need to go stir the air
that goes rushing through
I'm the wind in her petals
caressing her dainty moves
lost in her holy
I carry air to the soil
that stems her long leg daisies
tis' the season of
great romance and charm I long
to petal my way around
make the petals dance
to the tune of springtime glee
watch them fall around unharmed
unhinged and calling,
to the arms of Mother Earth
every rose must bend her will
time is the essence
in the hour glass of duty
and I non-artifact of it
will cling to the vine
I am guardian of the breeze
bringing flowers their breathe
I am the cinch
that pushes without shove
and all in the name of love
so why do people take cover
when I am such a great lover?

Dear love
i know you wont even remeber what i do

dear cupid i found your child
dear god shes gone wild
heart is spicy and flavorful never mild

and yet i could bet my breath you never even missed me
i remeber you so perfectly
standing ther in front of me
you took me to your house a few times
to our memory i dedicate these rhymes
your personification of beauty
is amusing and your your lips are lovely
.... love leigh
love leigh i adore your adorability
entertwined with your sweet humility
i saved your picture for 4 years
stared at it every day so cheers
so here is the epitomy of my tears
ive drempt these words hundreds of times
with many differnt rhymes just to catch your attention
ive forgotton every one else, you are my exception
too much to mention that i remeber what you smell like
and when im stressed i remeber it to relive my tension
i loved you, and watched you leave
but somwhere deep down, i always belived
that id find you again, but never thought that itd actually be acheived
you were the first to make me smile and feel my heart race out of my chest toward you
nothing felt more true
more right more perfect, to have my hand held by you
i can only be your friend but my heart will always have a place for you.

O fair lady- lady of the sea
by the name so fairly called, Stella
Yes! that name ever so dear to me.
And Stella who rides a ship-
marrying each wave- caressing the salt
Rides, boldy rides until a shore she haults.
But no land in sight, so Stella ride!
A bell be rung, a song that sung
From home town Oklhoma to Stella who's gone.
So sadly at a distance, people see her blood
trapped under the salty surface as the ship does run.
The death portray but people not know the
O fair lady- lady of the sea
by the name so fairly called, Stella
Is merely with and married to the sea.

Conventional wisdom says it takes just 21 days to establish a new habit. So what if that new habit involves getting over a breakup? Is it possible to exorcise your ex, clear your head, and heal your heart in just 3 weeks? In my workbook It's a Breakup, Not a Breakdown Workbook: A 21-Day Action Plan to Plot Your Revenge, Spoil Yourself, and Find Out How Good Your Life Is Without Him, I walk you step by step through your breakup recovery. Here's a day-by-day breakdown of the fun, fearlessness, and fabulousness you'll experience:
Day 1: Throw a pity party for one
Turn off your cell, call in sick to work, and slip into your best PJs (No sweats for you, Sister. You're pining away in style!). Stock up on chocolate, Cheetos, and Kleenex. Spend the day crying, emotionally eating, and watching Sex & the City reruns. Go ahead — give yourself permission to embrace your inner drama queen!
Day 2: Live in denial for a day
Okay, you've had a good cry and the breakup still stings. Before you announce your breakup to the world, spend a day in denial. Pretend the breakup never happened. Act as if your ex never gave you the ax (or vice versa). Better yet — pretend your ex never existed!
Day 3: Delete your ex from your online (and offline) life
Like it or not, the breakup did happen and unfortunately your ex still exists. Today's the day to build an impenetrable fortress around your heart so that your ex cannot break it again. Delete his phone number from your cell phone, his email address from your contacts, his profile from all your social networking sites. And if he calls, emails, or stops by to check up on you? Screen that call, delete his email (without even reading it), and hide under the covers, pretending nobody's home.
Day 4: Widow for a day
Now that your ex is out of your life, it's time to mourn the death of your relationship. Go ahead, Girl. Slip into your finest black ensemble, open a new box of tissues, and let the waterworks begin. Today, you're writing a last will and testament (bequeathing his morning breath to him while keeping your joint CD collection), performing a eulogy, and dancing on your ex's freshly dug grave!
Day 5: Get mad
You've had time to mourn the bastard. Now it's time to shake off the gloom and get pissed. If you're up to it, gather your girlfriends and throw an ex-boyfriend bash complete with photo burning, letter ripping, voodoo doll torture, etc. Or, if you'd rather get pissed in private, throw a solo ex b.f. bash. It's your prerogative!
Day 6: Get bitter, then get better
At this delicate post-breakup stage, bitterness is your new best friend. By being bitter, you're harnessing your pain and using it for good, i.e. exorcising your ex. If you haven't already, start journaling and/or blogging about the breakup. Go ahead – get in touch with your breakup bitterness!
Day 7: Get even
And because nothing helps a girl through her post-breakup pain quite like getting even, it's time to start scheming. Make a list of all your ex's dirty little secrets and plot various ways to expose them. Put your pinky to your lips and let out an evil cackle as you indulge in fantasies about how your ex's life will be ruined once you've spilled his secrets. (Don't worry – you won't actually engage any of these risky revenge fantasies!)
Day 8: Announce your breakup
Now that you're in touch with your post-breakup rage, it's time to tell the world all the dishy details. Call and/or email your friends and vent about your ex and the breakup. Don't stop there — go online and update your social networking profile(s) with your newly single status. You can even let off some steam by sharing your story on a breakup message board. This is one time when airing your dirty laundry in public is the right thing to do (just don't name names!).

If you're looking for a reason to buy an iPhone 3GS as opposed to an iPhone 4, besides the lower price, here's one: it's technically possible that malware on an iPhone 4 – if that phone were placed beside its user's computer keyboard – could be used to deduce what the user was typing. Once that data was stored on the phone, it could then be transmitted to another party. According to researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who were able to use one of the phones for this purpose, any smartphone made within the past two years should be capable of doing so.Read More
By now, most people are probably aware of the therapeutic value of stem cells, as they can become any other type of cell in the human body. One of their main duties, in fact, is to replace those other cells as they degrade. Once people reach an advanced age, however, even the stem cells themselves start to get old and nonfunctional - when the cells that are supposed to replace the other cells can't do their job anymore, age-related tissue problems start occurring. A team of researchers from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, however, may be on the way to solving that problem. They have succeeded in reversing the aging process in human adult stem cells.Read More
Studies have shown that with the right amount of white noise in the background, peoples' sight, hearing, balance control and sense of touch improve. Utilizing stochastic resonance, which is the principle at work in white noise, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered that the sense of touch can also be improved by applying vibrations to a person's finger. They have been testing a glove that incorporates a prototype fingertip-buzzing device, that could ultimately lead to products worn by people with nerve damage, or whose jobs require exceptional manual dexterity.Read More
As you sit there reading this story you're surrounded by electromagnetic energy transmitted from sources such as radio and television transmitters, mobile phone networks and satellite communications systems. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a device that is able to scavenge this ambient energy so it can be used to power small electronic devices such as networks of wireless sensors, microprocessors and communications chips.

The more ways in which you can engage yourself with what you're reading, the more likely you are to understand and remember it. It's a practice known as active reading, and it can involve taking notes, highlighting passages, setting aside snippets of important information, or even reading text aloud. While some programs already exist that facilitate the active reading of digital documents, a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed what they believe is a better approach. It's called LiquidText, and it was developed around touchscreen technology.Read More
Lately we're hearing a lot about the green energy potential of fuel cells, particularly hydrogen fuel cells. Unfortunately, although various methods of hydrogen production are being developed, it still isn't as inexpensive or easily obtainable as fossil fuels such as coal. Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, however, have recently taken a step towards combining the eco-friendliness of fuel cell technology with the practicality of fossil fuels – they've created a fuel cell that runs on coal gas. Read More
Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology recently reported the development of what they say is the world's "first self-powered nano-device that can transmit data wirelessly over long distances." The tiny device is able to operate battery-free, using a piezoelectric nanogenerator to create electricity from naturally-occurring mechanical vibrations.Read More
Despite his annoyingly cutesy synthetic voice, Darwin the Dolphin on the TV series SeaQuest DSV did present an intriguing possibility – what if we could create a dolphin language translator? Such a device may no longer be limited to the realm of science fiction, as two scientists are currently developing an underwater computer that they hope to someday use for two-way communications with wild dolphins.Read More
Imagine you're a firefighter arriving at a burning building, but you have no idea what the interior layout of that building is. Do you just enter, then risk your life by randomly walking up and down smokey hallways looking around? What would work better would be if someone or something could quickly map out the building first, then you could take that information and concentrate on getting directly where you need to go. That's the idea behind the U.S. Army's Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) Collaborative Technology Alliance Program, which would see swarms of small rolling, hopping, crawling or flying robots working together on reconnaissance missions in civilian or military applications.Read More
When the sandfish lizard wishes to escape predators, it can actually dive beneath the surface of the sand, and then swim through it. Inspired by the sandfish, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an undulating robot that can likewise swim through a granular medium. While that medium has so far consisted of quarter-inch plastic balls in a lab setting, the team hopes that their robot – or one of its descendants – could someday be used to tunnel through debris to rescue earthquake victims.Read More

With a mighty fine collection of bands the quality of music at 2013's Inaugural Shaky Knees Festival far outweighed the crap weather. With a weekend loaded with torrential rains, frigid temperatures and mud as far as the eye could see festival goers could have cared less as they danced and grooved along with the likes of Gary Clark Jr., Shovels & Rope, The Lumineers, Band of Horses, Jim James and a wealth of others. With a successful festival in the can the next logical step was to make it bigger and better. Hence today's announcement of 2014's Shaky Knees Festival line-up.
The multi-day festival has been expanded by a day to squeeze in more tasty tunes as well as moved across town to Atlantic Station so they can squeeze in even more people. For three days in May, the 9th-11th to be exact, music fans will flock to Atlanta to hear their favorite bands and discover new ones. They will come for the bands that close out each night like, The National, Modest Mouse and Edward Sharpe but leave remembering the awesome performances that take place during the day like American Aquarium, The Weeks and Apache Relay. The 3 day event will spotlight a plethora of musical styles leaving something for everybody.
The highlights will most likely be abundant, but here are five performances you shouldn't miss.
- Jason Isbell may be the best damn songwriter out there today. He pulls from his own life to write stories that mirror a lot of what he has been through. His latest record Southeastern is loaded with melancholic music that listener's cannot turn off. This is a do not miss performance.
- The Whigs will light up the weekend with their brand of guitar dominated rock-n-roll. With music that traverses the gap between hard rock and power pop the Georgia band has evolved from a local favorite to a national entity. High octane live shows are what they are known for so be prepared to be wowed.
- In their heyday the Violent Femmes were a staple of every college student's record collection. Gordon Gano's warble, while not pitch perfect, was perfect for the Femme's music. Live they deliver a big sound for only three dudes. I am betting their show turns into a giant sing-a-long and that is not a bad thing.
- The Hold Steady may be one of the most underrated bands of all time. Music that pulls from many influences the band writes stories utilizing recurring characters put to music. Front man Craig Finn's no-nonsense delivery is unmistaken able when you hear their music. Look to hear songs from their upcoming record with a nice mix of classics.
- Southern soul, haunting melodies and lyrics about life in the Deep South is what the Jackson, MS band the Weeks is all about. They took 2013 by storm with their latest record Dear Bo Jackson which showed their evolution as a band. When they hit the stage there are few that rival their passion and it is evident with each show. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
There are way too many bands jamming tunes at this year's Shaky Knees fest, these are five I am looking forward to seeing and you should too. Here is the line-up for the weekend.

I have been hearing about the end of the world pretty much my whole life. According to most Christians, no one is supposed to know when it is going to happen. Nebuchadnezzar and that Edgar Cayce guy shared a few apocalyptic prophecies.
My daughter was told by her friends at school that the world is going to end today because it's 12-12-12. I reminded her that we made it through 11:11am and 11:11pm on 11-11-11 so we would likely make it through 12-12-12 just fine.
Don't worry, we still have 10 more days… according to the Mayans. December 21, 2012 – This is the last day of the Mayan calendar. I believe there was even a movie made about this one. Then again is a fallen ancient civilization the most excellent source of such information? Regardless of the fact that they counted time more accurately than an atomic clock!
Without Endings, There Can be No Beginnings
Not to encourage a seriously gloomy message or anything, but isn't it true that there must be some sort of ending to our world as we know it?
Something Has to Change
Even the most conservative of our species takes resources away from the environment 10 fold more than they are ever able to give back. And then of course the conservative ones give birth to the CEO's of multimillion dollar development companies to make up for their lack of extravagance during childhood.
Maybe we are all just waiting for that day or event that will inevitably tip the scale? Personally, I am hoping for change, but it would have to be quite large scale to reverse or improve the damage to prevent the currently impending event-to-end-it-all happens.
A lady I used to work with once said that in order for the world to change, someone would have to be the one to take a stand and lead it in the right direction. – It sounds like something you might read in one of those "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books doesn't it?
The Age of Empowerment
I prefer to prepare my children for a more advanced age instead of teaching them to dwell on a fear of this particular one ending. – I mean what is there to fear? Are any of us happily living in complete fulfillment in this one anyway?

Developmental Reading
School reading instruction prepares students for everyday life and for the future they envision in our global society. Teachers who understand the importance of reading instruction know that children learn best from a variety of methods and materials. Our Masters of Arts in Developmental Reading program prepares teachers as reading specialists in Kindergarten and Grades 1-12. The course work develops the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed for supervisory, curricular, and remedial teaching positions in reading, and also builds a background in reading for students who want to specialize further in the area and eventually teach and/or conduct research in a college or university. Successful completion of this program, combined with one year of successful teaching experience that includes the teaching of reading as a significant part of the responsibility, qualifies the student for licensure as a reading specialist.
Students must meet the general requirements of the Graduate College, have an undergraduate g.p.a. of at least 3.00, hold an early childhood, elementary, or secondary school teaching certificate, and show evidence of completing two years of successful teaching experience.
Come to Iowa and study reading with us!
For more information regarding the admission requirements for the degree program in Developmental Reading, please see the The University of Iowa General Catalog.

The Sepang International Circuit has hosted MotoGP since 1999 and this season Dorna awarded the Malaysian GP the MotoGP event of the Year after the track recorded a total attendance of 125,816 spectators for the three-day weekend with 14,702 spectators on Friday, 33,936 spectators on Saturday and a massive 77,178 spectators on Sunday.
With the European economy continuing down the bumpy road of recession, unemployment figures rising and motorcycle sales falling down into two digit numbers, manufacturers are turning more and more towards the the ever-growing Southeast Asian markets where they sell millions and millions of small displacement bikes and scooters and where there could be countless sponsors to tap into and an enormous and growing fan base - despite the very insignificant number of Asian riders in GP racing - even if some teams seem to be more open to giving a chance to these riders, like Gresini QMMF, and JiR Racing.
In order to capitalize on these vast and growing numbers, according to MCN, Yamaha's Lin Jarvis has asked Carmelo Ezpeleta to investigate the possibility of hosting at least two races a season at Sepang - until Dorna gets the Buddh Circuit in India on the calendar (World Superbikes got to it first, just like they did Russia) or other circuits in South East Asia are built to FIM approval.
Half of the eighteen races on the 2013 calendar are just in three countries - Spain has four (Jerez, Catalunya, Aragon and Valencia) the United States gets three (Indianapolis, Laguna Seca, and COTA) and Italy has two (Mugello and Misano).

New Dean at Johns Hopkins' Carey School
After a nearly year-long search, Johns Hopkins University's Carey School of Business has named former McKinsey & Co. director Bernard T. Ferrari as its new dean.
Dr. Ferrari, 63, will fill the void left by Yash Gupta, founding dean of the five-year-old school, who departed after just three years. Mr. Gupta stepped down last June to become chief executive of Montreal-based SDP Telecom Inc. (Mr. Gupta had a history of short-term leadership stints; his prior appointment at University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business lasted just two years.)
Dr. Ferrari, a surgeon by training, transitioned to management consulting from medicine more than 20 years ago after working in administrative roles at a New Orleans clinic. After retiring from McKinsey in 2008, he launched New York-based Ferrari Consultancy LLC.
Dr. Ferrari – who also holds graduate degrees in law and business – will have his hands full at the young school, which is not yet accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and faces stiff competition in the business-education industry. Carey graduated its first class of full-time M.B.A.s this spring, and also offers an executive M.B.A., master's degree in real estate and a suite of part-time programs.
Carey's decision to bring on a medical professional at the helm isn't a complete surprise: Earlier this month the school announced it would focus its degree programs more specifically on management issues in healthcare and the life sciences. (See more about that shift in emphasis here.)
Dr. Ferrari said he plans to review the new healthcare-heavy curriculum, along with course offerings across the board. While the full-time M.B.A. is expected to continue growing, he said he expects to keep a strong focus on the school's part-time offerings as well.
Dr. Ferrari, who takes office July 1, said he'd like to see Carey partner more with Johns Hopkins' other programs, applying business skills to science, engineering and other disciplines. "This is a collaborator's dream," he said.

Eeeeee. According to a report by the New York Post, in Wyclef's new autobiography, Purpose, he reveals that ultimately the reason that The Fugees broke up was because Lauryn Hill lied to him about her pregnancy, claiming her first born child with Rohan Marley, Zion, was his.

NSCAA Preseason Poll
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Coming off the most successful season in school history, the Washington men's soccer team will open the season at No. 6 in the national rankings as released by the National Soccer Coaches of America Association.
After finishing 2013 with a record of 16-2-4 and a No. 5 national ranking, the Dawgs are back in the top-10. Last season, the Huskies opened the year ranked No. 23, but quickly moved into the top-10 after an undefeated start. The Dawgs set a school record, playing their first 15 games without a loss.
Washington would climb as high as No. 3 in the polls during the season and earned the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Pac-12 title. The Dawgs would go on to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament, before losing to New Mexico, 1-0.
Notre Dame won the 2013 NCAA title and was rewarded by a preseason No. 1 national ranking this year. The Fighting Irish are coached by Bobby Clark, father of UW head coach Jamie Clark. Maryland, Virginia, UCLA and New Mexico round out the rest of the top five in the preseason rankings.
Directly behind UW at No. 7 is California, while Stanford is ranked No. 20. That gives the Pac-12 four teams in the top-20 as it is once again expected to be the most competitive conference in the nation.
Washington opens the season on Firday, August 29, in Spokane with a matchup against Gonzaga. The home opener is Thursday, September 4, for the derby and NCAA Tournament rematch with Seattle U. Last season, 3,100 fans came to a sold out Husky Soccer Field to see the Dawgs defeat their crosstown rival in the second round of the NCAA's, 4-2.

Yesterday US video streaming and DVD rental site Netflix announced that it was going to have a second crack at conquering the UK market. The company has decided to focus solely on online video streaming this time around, in a move which will see it go head-to-head with LoveFilm.
Our online video report was also released yesterday, which shows the UK is increasing its consumption of video content online. 785 million visits a month go to online video websites, a year-on-year increase of 36% since September 2010. With more people watching video content online (over 240 million hours a month in the UK) is there a place for Netflix to make its mark against LoveFilm and other streaming sites?
Currently Netflix isn't on the same radar as LoveFilm, with LoveFilm receiving 600 times more traffic on a monthly basis than Netflix in the UK.
However, Netflix is huge in the US, and was the 28th most visited website in the States in September 2011, receiving more visits than ESPN, Walmart and MapQuest. 1 in every 400 visits online went to Netflix in the US in September 2011. To put that into context, 1 in every 2500 visits online went to LoveFilm in the UK. If Netflix can capture the imagination of the online population here in the UK as it has in the US, then certainly there is room for another video streaming site in our market. One of the findings from the video report is that a high proportion of consumers watch video content on multiple websites each month.
The diagram above shows the cumulative frequency of visits to online video websites from the UK Internet population. 86% of the population visit at least 1 video website a month, but almost half of the population (46%) watch video on at least 3 different video sites a month. 1 in 5 people visit 5 or more different video websites in a month, showing the propensity for consumers to watch video on multiple video sites. With users watching video on such a variety of websites, there is definitely an opportunity for Netflix to capitalise on the growing UK market.

Owl City has made a song with Carly Rae Jepsen; the tenure of "Call Me Maybe" has been rescinded.
OK, that's a bit harsh. For everyone who thinks "Fireflies" is treacly, there's someone who helped make it a No. 1 hit. And after the initial surprise and side-eye, the collaboration makes sense. If Carly Rae Jepsen's music was exactly the same, sugar and all, except with a male vocalist, that vocalist might sound a lot like Adam Young. And despite "Call Me Maybe" ringing through every speaker and down every alley of the Internet, Carly Rae Jepsen's still extremely new–most people outside Canada have only known she exists for six months at most. How do new artists gain traction? Guest spots. As for Owl City, his upcoming album The Midsummer Station has megaproducer Stargate working on it among others–compare to debut album Ocean Eyes, produced mostly by Young and his Postal Service fandom–so you can assume it's a play for the radio.
There, that's the answer to your first question ("Why does this exist?!") As for your second question ("But is it actually good?"), listen below.
Unsurprisingly, considering the bucketload of extra personnel dumped onto The Midsummer Station, "Good Time" sounds nothing like old Owl City (a statement that'll probably most readers either indignant or curious.) What it sounds like, instead, is everything else: synths and chords lapping at one another, steady as a wave pool or David Guetta a wordless chorus from Ke$ha or Britney or Katy Perry; on the bridge, preset claps from everything and the crowd shouts from "Last Friday Night." You know already whether you love, hate or are sick of this. The only way this could possibly sway you is toward the last.
The only extra variables are the two vocalists: Adam Young, who is sounding remarkably like somebody from 3OH!3 these days even before he sings things like "I'm in if you're down to get down tonight," and Carly Rae Jepsen, who if "Good Time" is any indication might be pop's most consistently likable vocalist. Every line she sings is set aflutter. But she did that already and prettier on all of Curiosity, let alone That Song, and no matter what you think of Young's old material, it was more interesting than this. It suits neither's strengths to sing "Good Time"'s pseudo-jingles like "it's always a good time" and critic-gimme lines like "we don't even have to try." You wonder what it would've been like if they did.

Sterling Seeks Public Comment for Reaccreditation
Sterling College will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit December 7-9, 2009, by a team representing The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Sterling College has been accredited by the Commission since 1957. Its last comprehensive visit for reaccreditation occurred in 2000.
The Higher Learning Commission is one of six regional accrediting agencies in the United States. Institutional accreditation involves evaluation of the organization as a whole. Other agencies provide accreditation for specific programs. Accreditation is voluntary. The Higher Learning Commission, which accredits approximately 1100 institutions of higher education in a nineteen-state region, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
For the past eighteen months, Sterling College has been engaged in a comprehensive self study of its organization. The study has involved the College's ability to meet the Commission's requirements and criteria for reaccreditation. The evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self study is thorough and accurate. The team will then recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the College. Following a review process, the Commission itself will take action.
The public is invited to submit comments about Sterling College:
Public Comment on Sterling College
The Higher Learning Commission
30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400
Chicago, IL 60602
Comments must address substantive matters related to the quality of the institution or its academic programs. Written, signed comments must be received by November 7, 2009. The Commission cannot guarantee that comments received after the due date will be considered. Comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the submitter. Comments will not be treated as confidential.
Note: Individuals with a specific dispute or grievance with an institution should request the separate Policy on Complaints document from the Commission office. The Higher Learning Commission cannot settle disputes between institutions and individuals. Complaints will not be considered third-party comments.

To be honest, this is my first time on your site, it will not be the last. I am a 29 yr old widowed mother of 3, I live in a rather small town bombarded by college kids 10 months of the year. I tried the Internet personal scene (my kids are young and getting out to meet people is difficult). I answered a profile (actually several) you get the usual some don't respond and some do but, nothing is there. I spoke to three on the phone and met 2 in person. The first was a really nice guy with a lot...

I am engaged to be married. I have been with my fiance for 3 years. Twice while sleeping my fiance has said his ex-wife's name while dreaming. By the other things he was saying it was obvious that this was a sex dream. I felt very hurt by this and concerned that perhaps he has feelings for her still. He has reassured me that he doesnt and says he feels really bad about it but has no recollection of the dreams. Is this somehting I should be concerned about? They have been divorced 5 years. He...

Dear Dr. Love: I am not the kind of person to write in for advice, but I am feeling overwhelmed and desperate. I hope that your advice can help me make the best decision for all parties involved. I am dating a wonderful man. We have shared a wonderful nine months, and both agree that this is a one of a kind relationship. He is truly the man that I have been looking for. The problem is that he is separated from his wife, and has been for about a year and half. They have a sweet little boy...

Dear Dr. Love, I hope you pick my question. I don't see any question like this in your archives. I have felt so hurt by my boyfriend. We are an older couple. I don't know why he treated me so uncaringly. We have been together for 5 years. He accidently broke my hand when we were dancing in a club one night. He had a hold of my hand real tight and mine slipped out of his and bent my finger sideways and the bone in my hand snapped like a pencil. We were quite a ways from home. I thought about...

Dear Dr. Love, My husband 's friend was engaged to a woman and the four of us would go out every weekend together. We all became really close friends. Unfortunately, my husband discovered that his friend was cheating on his fiancée and both of us were stuck with what to do. My husband finally confronted his friend and asked him if he was still going to go through with the wedding. He said he didn't know. I felt awful because I had grown quite close to both of them. I really like his fiancée,...

I've read many of your responses and admire your candor. I'm currently dating someone who appears to be a very loving, sweet, loyal and grounded man. I've met his parents and many (20+) of his friends. . . Whom all share the same opinion: He is a great guy! His most recent relationship (3+years) ended about 2 years ago. He was devastated by the breakup and has expressed his feelings well. And appears to have learned a lot about himself from the relationship. They remain close and have both...

Help!! I am engaged to someone who has two children (3 and 5). At first they were not an issue, but as time passed I came to realize that he was easily manipulated by his ex wife, and often spineless. In addition, he refuses to reinforce basic respect and consideration principles with his children when they deal with me. Because of their behavior and his, I do not enjoy spending time with them and refuse to be subjected to things that add aggravation to my life. I have expressed my concerns...

Dear Dr. Love: I am a great fan of your advice, and I need some of your superb wisdom. This is a doozy, so hold on. I met a woman through friends last July. We had both been hurt by less than admirable partners. She had a 4 yearold, the father never married her, was controlling and not loyal to the relationship. She had moved out on her own 8 months before. We hit it off immediately and had a fantastic soul connecting relationship until Nov when her ex started with 'I've got cancer and won't...

Dr. Love. Thank you for offering this advice column. I've read many over the years, and hope that you can offer a little to me. I'm a 28 year old woman that has just finished her masters degree away from Alaska, my home state. Before starting my studies, I spent the spring/summer living with my brother in a small Alaskan town. I met a friend of his who was 3 or 4 months out of a serious relationship (5 years) that ended abruptly (she cheated, left & and later, came back). He is an attorney...

Taunting with the saber??
This dude was waiting for me to attack and he was walking back and forth and twirling his saber in his hand. It was not a combat move. It looked like a taunt, like when Maul scraped the deck when Obi-Wan was "hanging out."

You sure you weren't on heavy drugs when you were playing?
actually desann does this in SP u know, when u fight him at the end of the game, didn't know if u could do that in MP....
was it a guy named azn cowboy? cause that was me hehehe
The guy was using a Dooku skin so I"m not sure if that could be related to Desaan. I don't know if its just an idling thing...I know in some games if you let your character idle, he'll do something like twirl his gun or whatnot. I'm drawing blanks on particular examples..
nope it was someone named MOFO
to do the twirl you gotta have only the pistol and saber. get your saber out then switch between gun a saber at a certain rhythem. once you get it you'll see its quite easy. enjoy :)
hmmm. That is very interesting. I'll try it out. Thanks man! For a second there I thought you were not going to share...
Actually, you bring up the console (Shft + ~) and then type in "bind (key) taunt" where (key) is whatever key, minus the quotations of course. Then hit that key. It worked for me, at least.
Actually what worked for me was bind (key) +taunt in the console.
I think you need the + in there
Taunting does not do it - it is as mtrixman stated - Just switch from lightsaber to blaster and back and you get a nice twirl going
ok let's clear things up here.. hehe..
there are TWO taunt commands.. one works in SP, and one works in MP. both ARE DIFFERENT.
in SP, if you bind a key to "taunt", not "+taunt", and hit the key, you'll float your saber above your hand and spin it like Desann and the othe Dark Jedi do. this doesn't work in MP.
in MP, bind a key to "+taunt". it does not spin your saber. your character merely says something and challenges the opponent with his finger movements.
as for that "saber spinning in the hand" thing.. you can only do it in a server which as saber and weapons enabled. that's cos when you have a weapon in your hand and you switch to your lightsaber, you spin the saber as you draw it, just like in SP. to do the "saber spin in hand" thing, just keep switching between your lightsaber and another weapon so that you keep spinning the saber. that's it! =)
