Red wine has lots of healthy benefits but unfortunately It can
also stain your teeth.
Now there's some new information on how white wine can cause your pearly Whites some problems too!
According to a study done at New York University, the acid in white wine Can actually dissolve tooth enamel on a microscopic level... which creates rough surfaces on your teeth.
Having those rough patches makes it easy for stains to develop from food and beverages.
If you prefer white over red... You may want to limit other drinks and
foods with dark pigments to help keep your teeth whiter.

Some more Civil War re-designs of some X-folk. I've had some good suggestions of who else to do, like Colossus, Forge, Psylock, etc. What say you? I'm sticking primarily to X-men as they've always felt like a "military" bunch to me.
I once did a redesign, years ago, of Omega Red where his costume was a Soviet Soldier Uniform. Love these. Bishop is my favorite.
COOL!!!! men! que creativo!!!

I chose this SSD because Tom's Hardware reviewed i
I chose this SSD because Tom's Hardware reviewed it as the best bang for the buck at 120GB. I'm using it with my ThinkPad T420s running Fedora Linux. Works perfectly, and wow, what a difference it makes to the overall performance and snappiness of the machine. Booting is much faster, but so are many other tasks, including just basic web browsing (since presumably the cache is faster). Well worth the cost.

Treasuries Fall, Push 30-Year Yields to 8-Month High on Outlook
Treasuries dropped, pushing 30-year bond yields to an eight-month high, as initial jobless claims fell and existing-home sales rose more than forecast, bolstering speculation the economic recovery is building steam.
U.S. debt extended losses after a record $13 billion auction of 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities attracted lower-than-average demand.
"It's the stronger-than-expected data and the TIPS auction," said Richard Bryant, senior vice president in fixed-income at MF Global Inc. in New York, a broker of exchange-traded futures. "The combination has taken us to the cheaper end of the trading range. There will be increased focus on growth numbers going forward."
The 30-year bond yield increased eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, to 4.61 percent at 5:08 p.m. in New York, according to BGCantor Market Data. It touched 4.63 percent, the highest level since April 29. In 2010, the yield hit a high of 4.86 percent on April 7 and a low of 3.46 percent on Aug. 25. The 4.25 percent security due in November 2040 tumbled 1 5/32 today, or $11.56 per $1,000 face amount, to 94 7/32.
Benchmark 10-year note yields climbed 11 basis points, or 0.11 percentage point, to 3.45 percent and reached 3.47 percent, the highest level since Jan. 5. Two-year note yields rose six basis points to 0.63 percent, a one-week high.
Yield Curve
The difference between yields on 2- and 30-year Treasuries widened to a record, indicating investors are demanding compensation for the risk that inflation will accelerate. The gap touched 4.02 percentage points, the steepest slope to the so-called yield curve since Bloomberg records on the data began in 1977.
The gap between the German 2-year note yield and the yield on the comparable U.S. note widened to as much as 66 basis points today, the most since October, as a report showed producer prices in Europe's largest economy climbed at the fastest pace in seven months, fueling inflation speculation. The U.S. 2-year note yield has declined this month as investors bet the central bank will not raise rates in the near term.
The U.S. auction of 10-year TIPS drew a yield of 1.17 percent, compared with an average forecast of 1.108 percent in a Bloomberg survey of nine of the Federal Reserve's 18 primary dealers, who are obligated to bid in U.S. debt auctions. The yield at the last auction of the maturity on Nov. 4 was the lowest ever, 0.409 percent.
Largest Offering
Today's sale was the largest 10-year TIPS offering since the government began selling inflation-indexed debt in 1997.
The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing the amount offered with the amount sold, was 2.37, the lowest since April 2009. It was 2.91 at the last sale in November and averaged 2.73 at the past 10 offerings.
"It was a weak auction," said Alex Li, an interest-rate strategist in New York at primary dealer Deutsche Bank AG. "It may have something to do with the fact that the auction size was a record $13 billion. Inflation is still in the lower end of the range historically, and the TIPS market has already priced in the rise in inflation for 2011."
Indirect bidders, a category that includes foreign central banks, bought 37.9 percent of the notes, compared with 57.7 percent in November, the most since 2006. The average at the past 10 sales was 44.9 percent.
Applications for unemployment benefits decreased 37,000 in the week ended Jan. 15, the biggest decline since February 2010, to 404,000, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 420,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The number of people on unemployment benefit rolls fell, while those getting extended payments rose.
'Signs of Healing'
"The labor market has been the thorn in everybody's side, and it is starting to show signs of healing," said Thomas Roth, senior Treasury trader in New York at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA Inc.
Purchases of existing houses, which are tabulated when a contract closes, increased 12 percent last month to a 5.28 million annual rate, the most since May, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. The forecast in a Bloomberg survey was for a 4.1 percent gain.
The U.S. will auction $99 billion in notes next week, the Treasury said today. It will sell $35 billion in two-year notes, $35 billion in five-year debt and $29 billion in seven-year securities, matching the average forecast of nine primary dealers in a Bloomberg survey. Primary dealers are required to bid at the sales.
The sizes of the sales are the same as at the last three monthly offerings of the maturities. The auctions will take place on three days beginning Jan. 25.
The Fed bought $2.2 billion in U.S. debt today maturing from August 2028 through February 2040 as part of its effort to spur economic growth by purchasing as much as $600 billion of U.S. debt through June. It is scheduled to acquire $7 billion to $9 billion tomorrow of Treasuries due from February 2018 to November 2020, according to its website.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine report that, for the first time, a mouse heart was able to contract and beat again after its own cells were stripped and replaced with human heart precursor cells. Their work was published on August 13 in Nature Communications.
The scientists believe their study shows the promise that regenerating a functional organ by placing human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in a three-dimensional scaffold could have for transplantation, drug testing models, and understanding heart development.
For the project, the research team first decellularized a mouse heart. Then, they repopulated the remaining heart framework, or scaffold, with multipotential cardiovascular progenitor (MCP) cells. These replacement cells were produced by reverse-engineering fibroblast cells from a small skin biopsy to make iPS cells and then treating the iPS cells with special growth factors to further induce differentiation.
"This process makes MCPs, which are precursor cells that can further differentiate into three kinds of cells the heart uses, including cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells," explained lead investigator Lei Yang, Ph.D., assistant professor of developmental biology at the Pitt School of Medicine. "Nobody has tried using these MCPs for heart regeneration before. It turns out that the heart's extracellular matrix, the material that is the substrate of heart scaffold, can send signals to guide the MCPs into becoming the specialized cells that are needed for proper heart function."
After a few weeks, the mouse heart had not only been rebuilt with human cells, it also began contracting again, at the rate of 40 to 50 beats per minute, the researchers found. More work must be done to rebuild a heart that will contract strongly enough to be able to pump blood effectively, and to rebuild the heart's electrical conduction system correctly so that the heart rate speeds up and slows down appropriately.
In the future, it might be possible to take a simple skin biopsy from a patient to derive personalized MCPs that can be used to seed a biologic scaffold and regenerate a replacement organ suitable for transplantation, Dr. Yang noted. The model also could be used as a lab-based method to preclinically test the effect of new drugs on the heart or to study how the fetal heart might develop.
"One of our next goals is to see if it's feasible to make a patch of human heart muscle," Dr. Yang added. "We could use patches to replace a region damaged by a heart attack. That might be easier to achieve because it won't require as many cells as a whole human-sized organ would."

Poems for Mother's Day
The Gifts of Mothers
It's a really hard Mother's Day for me. Don't want to get into why. Suffice it to say that it's a continuation of my mental landslide . . .
What She Taught Me
She taught me linking verbs, predicate nouns,
long division, have a Kleenex ready, an apple
a day. She taught me three-quarter time, Greenwich
Mean Time. She taught me do re mi, Mexicali Rose,
Rose, Rose, my Rose of San Antone. She taught me
Peas Peas Peas Peas, Eating Goober Peas.
She taught me that a peanut is a goober pea
in certain parts of the world, that it is fine
for things to be different in different parts
of the world, no two goobers alike in their
dry red skins, their pock-marked pods,
that there are latitudes and longitudes we have
never seen, that she had seen some part,
and so would I, that I need not
forego either the swings or baseball, that spelling
is on Friday and it is OK to learn more
than one list, including the hard list; it is not
showing off—it is using what you have.
That using what you have will not please
everybody, that marrying a man of a different stripe
is not a popular thing in a small town in the fifties,
and divorcing and coming home with a child
is even worse, and that you
get up every morning anyway,
and do your work.
~ Marjorie Saiser
The Lanyard
The other day I was ricocheting slowly
off the blue walls of this room,
moving as if underwater from typewriter to piano,
from bookshelf to an envelope lying on the floor,
when I found myself in the L section of the dictionary
where my eyes fell upon the word lanyard.
No cookie nibbled by a French novelist
could send one into the past more suddenly—
a past where I sat at a workbench at a camp
by a deep Adirondack lake
learning how to braid long thin plastic strips
into a lanyard, a gift for my mother.
I had never seen anyone use a lanyard
or wear one, if that's what you did with them,
but that did not keep me from crossing
strand over strand again and again
until I had made a boxy
red and white lanyard for my mother.
She gave me life and milk from her breasts,
and I gave her a lanyard.
She nursed me in many a sick room,
lifted spoons of medicine to my lips,
laid cold face-cloths on my forehead,
and then led me out into the airy light
and taught me to walk and swim,
and I , in turn, presented her with a lanyard.
Here are thousands of meals, she said,
and here is clothing and a good education.
And here is your lanyard, I replied,
which I made with a little help from a counselor.
Here is a breathing body and a beating heart,
strong legs, bones and teeth,
and two clear eyes to read the world, she whispered,
and here, I said, is the lanyard I made at camp.
And here, I wish to say to her now,
is a smaller gift—not the worn truth
that you can never repay your mother,
but the rueful admission that when she took
the two-tone lanyard from my hand,
I was as sure as a boy could be
that this useless, worthless thing I wove
out of boredom would be enough to make us even.

Two for Tuesday: Billy Collins
Tuesday evening. Sunny, 63 degrees.
I wish that I could say that the days have gotten better, but they have not. I wish that I could say that I have finally found the answers, but I have not. I wish that I could say that forgiveness was easy, but it is not.
Field Guide
No one I ask knows the name of the flower
we pulled the car to the side of the road to pick
and that I point to dangling purple from my lapel.
I am passing through the needle of spring
in North Carolina, as ignorant of the flowers of the south
as the woman at the barbecue stand who laughs
and the man who gives me a look as he pumps the gas
and everyone else I ask on the way to the airport
to return to where this purple madness is not seen
blazing against the sober pines and rioting along the
On the plane, the stewardess is afraid she cannot answer
my question, now insistent with the fear that I will leave
the province of this flower without its sound in my ear.
Then, as if he were giving me the time of day, a passenger
looks up from his magazine and says wisteria.
Water Table
It is on dry sunny days like this one that I find myself
thinking about the enormous body of water
that lies under this house,
cool, unseen reservoir,
silent except for the sounds of dripping
and the incalculable shifting
of all the heavy darkness that it holds.
This is the water that our well was dug to sip
and lift to where we live,
water drawn up and falling on our bare shoulders,
water filling the inlets of our mouths,
water in a pot on the stove.
The house is nothing now but a blueprint of pipes,
a network of faucets, nozzles, and spigots,
and even outdoors where light pierces the air
and clouds fly over the canopies of trees,
my thoughts flow underground
trying to imagine the cavernous scene.
Surely it is no pool with a colored ball
floating on the blue surface.
No grotto where a king would have
his guests rowed around in swan-shaped boats.
Between the dark lakes where the dark rivers flow
there is no ferry waiting on the shore of rock
and no man holding a long oar,
ready to take your last coin.
This is the real earth and the real water it contains.
But some nights, I must tell you,
I go down there after everyone has fallen asleep.
I swim back and forth in the echoing blackness.
I sing a love song as well as I can,
lost for a while in the home of the rain.
Music by Angus and Julia Stone, "Choking"
Choking on these words
You can leave now
Oh haven't you heard
You can leave now
We stand there like statues from different cities
Both warriors of the same war
Both victors of our territories
Why do I feel so small?
Oh you've got it all figured out
What will be will be
Fine work from a sailor's hand
Who's always running away
In between all your complex ideas
Found out how love should be
When you get the time to feel anything
Anything real for me
Oh you've got it all figured out
What will be will be
Fine words from a sailor's son
Who's always running away
I don't want your sympathy
Don't quote me another phrase
I understand all your philosophies
But it hurts me just the same
Choking on these words
You can leave now
Oh haven't you heard
You can leave now
"There is a sense in which we are all each other's consequences." ~ Wallace Stegner, from All the Little Live Things
"Perhaps it's true that things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of whole lifetimes. And that when they do, those few dozen hours, like the salvaged remains of a burned house—the charred clock, the singed photograph, the scorched furniture—must be resurrected from the ruins and examined. Preserved. Accounted for. Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstitutred. Imbued with new meaning." ~ Arundhati Roy, from The God of Small Things
Sunday early evening. Sunny and cooler, 57 degrees.
So much going through my brain, thoughts coming at me, bombarding my senses, leaving me feeling bruised and broken.
Last night as I lay in bed, sleep elusive once again, I began to wonder when it was, exactly, that I lost my strength, my fortitude, as it were. I used to consider myself such a strong person, a person able to weather storms, a person who could take the worst that life heaped on my plate and still, somehow, survive.
But now? Now I cannot find that strength. I search and search, and I only find weakness, and weakness is to be pitied, and pity? Pity is to be scorned. Who wants pity? At least if someone hates you, that hatred encapsulates a strong emotion. Pity bears nothing. It is hollow and useless.
"My mind is blank, as indifferent as the
noonday heat. But images of memories descend from afar and land in
the bowl of water, neutral memories, neither painful nor joyful, such as
a walk in a pine forest, or waiting for a bus in the rain, and I wash them
as intently as if I had a literary crystal vase in my hands." ~ Mahmoud Darwish, from "A coloured cloud"
My heart feels old. My soul feels rent. My mind feels spent. And I have to wonder who decided that life should always be hard, that the good days should always have a shadow cast upon them. I have to wonder how other people survive in this world, this world so full of heartbreak and sorrow. How do the strong survive? How do the weak find the strength to try once again?
It's all such a mystery to me. I can discern no patterns. Perhaps all of the patterns I once saw were only an illusion. It's all too much like a fogged pane of glass, a window that steam has cloaked, and then that steam devolves into rivulets that run down the pane so quickly to nothing.
We sleep. We wake. We love, and we hate. We eat, and we cry, and we make love as if it were the last time. We lie and we steal, and we move against one another. We forge alliances and then just as easily break them. We speak decisively, and we wonder what we speak. We cling and we rend, and we scream until sound fails us. We fall and fall again. We turn and turn again.
"To be left with only the trace of a memory is to gaze at an armchair that's still molded to the form of a love who has left never to return: it is to grieve, it is to weep." ~ Orhan Pamuk, from The Black Book
At different points in my life, I have felt as if I knew exactly what fate had in store for me. So clear was the way ahead. So determined was the heart beating in my breast. And then at other times I have felt as if the roads that I took were actually part of one large labyrinth, seeming to move in one direction, when in actuality, every path reached a dead end.
The people around me search for answers and find none. The man on the corner, holding the tattered piece of cardboard declaring his humble wishes, talks to me of kittens. The woman moving so sure-footed down the hallway stops in her forward progress to ask if I need help. The son walks past me as if he does not see me until I call his name.
And you there, on the bed you have made, how does it feel? Was it everything you ever wanted? Or was it full of briars and thorns, hidden amidst the down?
"you will never let go, you will never be satiated.
You will be damaged and scarred, you will continue to hunger." ~ Louise Glück, from "The Sensual World"
I speak in riddles because that it the only way I know through. Perhaps if I meander enough, I will once more find my way. Or perhaps if I meander too much, I will find myself completely lost.
The shore is not calm, and the moon is not high, and all of the stars in the universe are hidden from me because they contain truth. And this truth they have scattered here and there, placed a grain here in this broken shell, and another one there, in the knothole of that oak. I know this because I once found truth in the discarded hull of a walnut, and when I looked closely, I saw that its center was shaped like a heart. And I thought to myself, "At last. Here it is, at last."
And I thought to place that small wooden heart safely under my pillow, where it would conjure restful nights of sleep and dreams, but when my fingers sought beneath my pillow, it was gone.
Truth is like that.
"There's no understanding fate;" ~ Albert Camus, from "Caligula"
One day, I may actually find my place in this world, but more than likely not. I have no more right to peace of mind than the woman in line behind me at the grocery store, even though she seems to have found her calm place through Dr. Pepper and potato chips.
Can it be bought, this peace of mind? Can I find it amid the words I finger on the screen, as if prying them loose would free them to become realities? Is it hidden in the pages of sonnets an old lover once gifted me, or is it there, among the cornflowers growing absently in the cracked pavement of the parking lot?
Milton lost paradise, and I have yet to find it, but I came close once, so very close . . . but too soon I found that it had only been my imagination, running rampant once again. And so I stand at the shore, tempering my pulse to beat with the outgoing tide—its fierce syncopation ultimately forcing air into my lungs, even as I try to cease the sweep of time's second hand none too well, if not at all.
More later. Peace.

something of infinite spring
that today was waiting, under a cloudless sky
and whiteness was waiting,
when the rain returned
to sadly drum
against the window,
then to dance with unmeasured fury
over my heart and over the roof,
its place,
asking me for a cup
to fill once more with needles,
with transparent time,
with tears.
~ Pablo Neruda
"I will show you fear in a handful of dust." ~ T. S. Eliot, from "The Waste Land: I. The Burial of the Dead"
"APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers." ~ T. S. Eliot, from "The Waste Land: I. The Burial of the Dead"
Sunday evening, the 19th of April. Cool.
Seems I spend more time lately apologizing for not being here than actually being here. I have posts sitting in my draft box for the first week of April, never going from draft to publish. Too much involved, too much thinking necessary to finesse and push all of the right buttons.
My health? Not the best. In addition to the usual pain, I may or may not have a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder, the pain of which has prevented much in the way of my discourse on this computer. Then there were the nights of chills and sweat, awaking freezing in soaking wet clothes. Changing my shirt four times in as many hours.
It has not been pretty.
Not that I have not thought of all of the words I could say here, all of the words backlogged and stuck in my craw, all of the words that have been unable to move past this . . . this what? This fugue state? This state of being completely at odds with the world, with everyone, with myself? What does one call being completely lost in so many ways, but just too tired to even begin to mull over the ways in which to extract the self from a general sense of malaise?
So what do I have for you today, my far away companions in the ether? Not much, other than a feeble attempt to raise my head for a few moments and let you know that I am still here.
"Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,
The lady of situations.
Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,
And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,
Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,
Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find
The Hanged Man. Fear death by water." ~ T. S. Eliot, from "The Waste Land: I. The Burial of the Dead"
So here, as I am, I offer you this compendium, three words that at times can mean everything, nothing and something . . .
- It won't hurt
- I'm so sorry
- You should stop
- What is happening
- Don't worry so
- Calm down now
- Take a breath
- It wasn't me
- I didn't know
- I don't know
- I couldn't know
- I should've known
- Please tell me
- Don't tell lies
- I'm really sorry
- No you're not
- I don't remember
- It doesn't matter
- It all matters
- It's all good
- Nothing is good
- You should go
- Let go now
- Is he okay
- Is she okay
- Are they okay
- Are we okay
- Nothing is okay
- Speak to me
- Talk to me
- Don't say anything
- You've said enough
- Believe the lie
"My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.
What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
I never know what you are thinking. Think." ~ T. S. Eliot, from The Wast Land: II. A Game of Chess
Yes, April is cruel indeed, but then, so are the other months and days of the year. In cruelty, I somehow always go back to Eliot, whose words seem to have been written by a ghost of me, so close to home are they.
I apologize if this post seems lost somewhere far beyond the pale, as it were. But my life, my lines, my words are in fragments alone. I cannot connect all of the varying lines and make a whole. I have neither the strength nor the wherewithal. Forgive the seeming self-pity; it is more of a muted self-examination, one conducted with exigence in the hopes of finding something "not loud nor long" to hold dear.
As old Tom said, "These fragments I have shored against my ruins."
"Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight.
Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.
Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night." ~ T. S. Eliot, from The Wast Land: II. A Game of Chess

April is Poetry Month: Poem a Day #15
Tax day. Taxes have been slaying me, which hasn't helped with the whole issue of life in general. I had planned to stop backposting these Knopf Poem-A-Day entries, but this particular one by Tracy K. Smith is too, too beautiful to forego, and I need a permanent record of sorts somewhere, at least until I can buy the book.
Taken from the Knopf site; direct link below.
The poet Tracy K. Smith (winner of the Pulitzer Prize for her 2011 collection Life on Mars) tells a rich coming-of-age story in her new memoir and first book of prose, Ordinary Light. The youngest of five children, raised in suburban California by Alabama-born, African-American parents, Smith in this book looks back at herself as a growing girl: at her dawning understanding of her parents' youth, so different from her own, during the Civil Rights movement; at her mother's devout Christianity, which allows her to accept her cancer diagnosis as part of God's plan; at the pain of losing her mother too early; at her first moments of independence at Harvard and her desire to become a writer. In this passage, we meet Smith in the college library, where she makes a connection between her mother's faith and language, and her development as a poet.
To share the Poem-a-Day experience, pass along this link.
From Ordinary Light:
My mother's language was always the language of the soul. But it grew clearer, more telegraphic, once the cancer began to accelerate her sense that she was on her way elsewhere. So much of the time, living with such knowledge, her mind must have been tuned to the idea of what awaited her: I go to prepare a place for you. If it were not so, I would have told you. In some strange way, the return to the soul state might simply be the answer to the prayer that sits behind every prayer: Deliver me. Is there another dialect of the soul, a way it speaks in those who don't possess the vocabulary of belief? A way it stirs and surges as if to say Here I am, something we don't hear but that we feel and, feeling, know.
I liked to sit in the leather armchairs facing the tall windows in Lamont Library. The windows looked out onto Mass Ave. at the intersection of Quincy Street, and when I'd glance up from my page, I'd see people I knew and people I didn't know moving back and forth along the axes of their lives. The reading room silence would obliterate all the outside traffic noises, and the daylight would baptize the pedestrians, it seemed to me, in a kind of transparent splendor, as if for the few moments they appeared in frame, they were resplendent in the inviolable promise we were all of us born into. It didn't matter if they were in a rush or a daze, if they coughed into their fists or if smoke streamed from their mouths. Each wore, for an instant if not more, a mantle of eminent belonging, as if the moment that held them was not a mistake, as if they were not lost or alone or under a heap of insurmountable dread. Here I am, something in them seemed to be saying to the pavement, the fallen leaves, to no one in particular.
I was taking a poetry workshop, my third so far at Harvard. In it, I had discovered that sitting down with an idea and letting it unfold in words and sounds offered me not just pleasure but an indescribable comfort. I wanted to write the kind of poetry that people read and remembered, that they lived by — the kinds of lines that I carried with me from moment to moment on a given day without even having chosen to. Back out of all this now too much for us, said Robert Frost, and when I heard his words in my ears, they gave weight and purpose to my footsteps, to the breath going in and out of my lungs; they gave me terms with which to consider bits and pieces of the things I otherwise didn't know how to acknowledge. Frost's voice telling me to retreat (at least that's part of what I heard in that line, hovering in space on its own, apart from the rest of the poem or even the rest of its sentence) emboldened me to admit that, yes, I was overwhelmed. My mother's cancer overwhelmed me. Her death, waiting out there in the distance, overwhelmed me. So did the loneliness I still sometimes felt, even amid the chatter and bustle of friends and classes.
Perhaps without realizing it, I, like my mother long before she belonged to me, had been seeking something. I was searching. Not for any one thing in particular, and not as a result of a single glaring lack, but seeking — searching — nonetheless.
Poetry met my particular sense of need. Writing a poem, I sometimes felt like I was building a house from scratch, raising the walls, hanging the doors, laying out the rooms. It felt at times like backbreaking work. Other times, it seemed that what I was trying to evoke or encounter in a poem was already alive somewhere and that my job was merely to listen. The language of each of the poetry workshops I'd taken was built upon the assumption that there really was something else at play. My teachers talked about our poems as if they were sentient beings with plans and wishes of their own, wishes it was up to us to carry into language. "Your poem seems to be leading you in one direction, but you insist upon going in another." Or, "Try and cut out all this noise so you can hear what the poem is trying to tell you." It sounded quite nearly mystical, like we were playing at divination, but it also rang true. Wasn't it strange that a poem, written in my vocabulary and as a result of my own thoughts or observations, could, when it was finished, manage to show me something I hadn't already known? Sometimes, when I tried very hard to listen to what the poem I was writing was trying to tell me, I felt the way I imagined godly people felt when they were trying to discern God's will. "Write this," the poem would sometimes consent to say, and I'd revel in a joy to rival the saints' that Poetry — this mysterious presence I talked about and professed belief in — might truly be real.
Often, that spring, I found myself sitting in a reading room window with a book I ought to have been reading for class, but I also always had a black sketchbook into which I'd begun writing lines of my own. Sometimes, I wrote the same stanza over and over until something was unlocked and I could move forward. Once or twice, I'd stopped mid-poem, altogether stumped, and started a letter to myself in which I'd describe whatever it was I was having trouble getting into language: What does it mean to slog through the weight of the everyday, to wake to anxiety, to spend the day straining to hear what they must be saying now that you're out of earshot, to have to put on the boots, though you're tired, always tired, and just keep going? Sometimes all of the watching and listening and waiting finally gave way to a poem:
The Ordinary Life
To rise early, reconsider, rise again later
to papers and the news. To smoke a few if time
permits and, second-guessing the weather,
dress. Another day of what we bring to it-
matters unfinished from days before,
regret over matters we've finished poorly.
Just once you'd like to start out early,
free from memory and lighter for it.
Like Adam, on that first day: alone
but cheerful, no fear of the maker,
anything his for the naming; nothing
to shrink from, nothing to shirk,
no lot to carry that wasn't by choice.
And at night, no voice to keep him awake,
no hurry to rise, no hurry not to.

Sorry? For what? It's summertime. Enjoy. We'll fumble thru it like always.
Sorry, I've picked a great time to go out of town..
We have 12 confirmed. I'll give one final attempt to get Marvin. After that, we'll discuss our options and set a time for the draft.
Kaba is in (email confirmation).
I had to hit him with the Kaba Signal.
Docta is out.
Yes, I'm in
mikesteel is in.
I'm no help on Marvin, either. It didn't seem like he was following his team by the end of last season. If we have to go to 12, then we should have a two round dispersal draft, assuming one other...

Oops, something didn't work.
Are you covering *new* EF6 features? I'm interested in Async Save, Tooling, Enums, Migrations and Code First...
Looking forward to hear about the new async feature and the improvements in the EF designer. Using EF with other DB's than MSSQL is also interesting.
For those folks that missed out when the room filled up, we are going to do a repeat of the talk on Friday at 10:15 AM. Check the developer tools booth for the room number.
Very informative and clearly outlined Mr Condron. The demonstrations as to how things can now be done much more efficiently was great, along with the acknowledgement of those whose contributions have had significant impact on the performance issues. Top stuff old chap!
Well done Glen!
Clear and Informative Demo.
Inspired me to download the night build, however some of the features seems to have "changed". This is to be expected though.
Can't wait to get started with EF 6.0. Any idea when can we expect these features to move to stable?
Keep up the good work!

Can The Heat And The Pistons Get Back To The Top?
It wasn't that long ago when the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons were the top teams in the Eastern Conference. I really believe that both teams are in good position to get back there relatively soon.Each team has a Hall of Famer calling the shots in its front office, with Pat Riley in Miami and Joe Dumars in Detroit. I think the Heat are clearly closer to competing for a championship, and if you asked both Dumars and Riley, they would have to agree with me. That's largely because of the presence of a home run hitter in the middle of Miami's lineup in Dwyane Wade. The Pistons just don't have an answer to that right now.

Pistons Better Offensively Without A.I.
ESPN Research
Most expected Allen Iverson to give the Pistons' offense a shot in the arm when he first came to Detroit. But despite A.I.'s gaudy scoring averages over his 12 NBA seasons and reputation as an elite scorer, the Pistons are actually a better team offensively without him. With him, Detroit has a minus-41 plus-minus, but without him, its plus-minus shoots up to plus-eight.
A similar trend appeared when Iverson was with the Nuggets. Although Denver's offense was better than Detroit's, the Nuggets were never actually better without Iverson on the court (plus-94) than with him (plus-38).
Despite going on a four-game winning streak immediately after Iverson went on the shelf with a back injury, the Pistons are 7-6 overall without A.I. in the lineup and 23-29 with him.

Bench Notes: Looking At The Subs For Miami And Detroit
By Kevin Arnovitz
TrueHoop MIAMI HEAT
TrueHoop MIAMI HEAT
The Heat have a negative point differential for the season, and the team's reserves account for that deficit. Head coach Eric Spoelstra has an extremely fluid rotation. In Miami's past four games, Spoelstra has used the same starting lineup, but has given bench minutes to seven different players. Daequan Cook and rookie Michael Beasley have emerged as the clear No. 6 and No. 7 guys in the rotation. Cook can shoot the lights out, guard both wing positions and has improved his ballhandling skills. Beasley usually checks in for Jermaine O'Neal midway through the first and third quarters, and will occasionally finish games. After that, it's a bit of a muddle. Yakhouba Diawara gives Spoelstra another defender on the wings, but that's the extent of his game right now. James Jones has never found his shot after being sidelined for the first 10 weeks of the season with a hand injury. Backup point guard has been a revolving door for Miami. The Heat have used Marcus Banks (traded to Toronto in the Shawn Marion-Jermaine O'Neal deal), Chris Quinn, Cook (a shooting guard) and now Luther Head, who was signed on March 4. The former Rocket saw his first action Saturday in Miami's triple-overtime win over Utah, playing 21 minutes, while Quinn remained on the pine. In the post, veteran Jamaal Magloire and Joel Anthony will compete for playing time, though neither has emerged as the preferred option. Indications are that Spoelstra's depth chart in a first-round playoff series will likely be dictated by matchups rather than habit, but it's worth tracking the box scores to see who's getting the lion's share of the bench minutes in the final four weeks of the regular season.
One question preoccupies any discussion of the Pistons' bench: What happens when Allen Iverson returns? The assumption is that Michael Curry will bring Iverson off the bench. The head coach even suggested recently that Iverson will pick up Will Bynum's minutes as the Pistons' backup point guard. Between Iverson, Rodney Stuckey and Rip Hamilton, the Pistons' 96 backcourt minutes will be accounted for, with little time left over for Bynum. Antonio McDyess, Detroit's longtime reserve, has been slotted into the starting lineup. For the time being, Jason Maxiell has emerged as Curry's preferred big off the bench. Maxiell has been picking up starts in Rasheed Wallace's absence, and has seen his minutes gradually increase. Curry will also look to Kwame Brown and Amir Johnson, though more sporadically. Walter Herrmann is the wild card. Since the All-Star break, Herrmann has been tallying double-digit minutes more games than not, mostly at the small forward position, where he spreads the floor for the second unit. The Pistons have traditionally been a strong bench team. If Iverson can embrace the role as Energy Guy Off the Bench, Maxiell can continue to shoot over 60 percent from the field, as he has for the calendar year, and Herrmann can spell Tayshaun Prince with serviceable minutes at the 3, that tradition should continue. Read TrueHoop's breakdown of every contender's bench situation here.

Battle For Fifth Place
By John Hollinger | ESPN.com
With Dwyane Wade missing Wednesday's game with an injured right hip flexor, it gives rise to an interesting question: How safe is Miami's hold on the fifth seed? Miami, at 36-32, leads Philadelphia by only a game and a half and Detroit by two games. Additionally, Miami still has to play Detroit twice, making the three-game margin seem a lot less comfortable, and eight of its final 14 games are on the road. Philadelphia in particular appears to have a great shot at catching Miami. On paper, the Sixers' closing schedule is perhaps even tougher than the Heat's, but in the final week the Sixers play Cleveland twice and Boston once. Depending on whether the playoff seeding race has been decided by then, those three could be virtually automatic losses. Or they could be Philly romps against the Cavs' and Celtics' scrubs. So in a weird way, Heat fans should be rooting as hard for the Magic and the Lakers as they are against the Sixers -- their respective fates are likely to determine the difficulty of Philly's final week. As for Detroit, the Pistons have injury problems of their own that would make it hard for them to chase down Miami. But if the Pistons can win head-to-head Sunday, it would set up a showdown between the two on the last day of the season. And with a win, Detroit would own the tiebreaker. As of Saturday, the Playoff Odds still show Miami beating both Philly and Detroit by two games, but the race for No. 5 could still be a toss-up. So don't pencil in Heat-Hawks in the second round just yet. It appears the race to be Atlanta's first-round opponent (and avoid the Magic or the Celtics) has much more time to play out.

Rose or Beasley?
Peter (Seattle): Is A.I.'s ego hurt? Did the Pistons handle this properly, and can we say for sure that Det's better with Stuck than A.I.? Adande: Detroit's recent skid shows it wasn't ALL Iverson's fault. But if I'm Detroit I wouldn't worry about A.I.'s ego, since he doesn't fit in the long-term plans. Better to develop Stuckey or maybe find out if he isn't up to the task so the Pistons can make other plans
East Race Heating Up

Even with D-Wade, the Heat couldn't top the Nets on Friday. Can the MVP candidate help give Miami some breathing room in the race for the East's fifth seed Sunday?

In 1989, the occurrence of a rare, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia (torsades de pointes) in an otherwise healthy young woman led alert clinicians at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Md, to consider the possibility that the patient's near-fatal arrhythmia was triggered by a drug-drug interaction involving her antihistamine (terfenadine) and her antifungal (ketoconazole) medications.1 Consulting clinical pharmacologists from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggested that ketoconazole inhibited the oxidative metabolism of terfenadine. Analysis of blood samples revealed that the patient had high levels of unmetabolized terfenadine, a compound not usually detectable in blood because it is metabolized so quickly. Review of reports to the FDA's spontaneous reporting system revealed that among additional cases of torsades de pointes in patients receiving terfenadine, many were also receiving ketoconazole. This evidence led the FDA to ask Marion Merrill Dow, Kansas City, Mo,

Welcome to Where the Wild Things Are. A game based in the imagination of a child. This game is based off the movie which was based partially on the book by Maurice Sendak. It's a great book, well for kids but even as an adult it gave my mind some artistic inspiration. The game overall is an easy 1000 & is actually not as boring as one might think.
Step#1: Story Mode
The game has 11 chapters all exploring different parts of the island where you play as Max and adventure with the Wild Things. All the difficulty achievements can be stacked so don't worry about playing on anything but hard. The game will start you off with the Kings weapon. Pretty much destroy every single thing you can see and of course actually destroy. The game has 8 different collectibles and at the start of each chapter it will tell you how many are in each chapter. Really go out of your way checking every single area for these. You can always come back later and collect them but it's good to find them in one go because you can unlock cheats.
Step#2: The Village
The village is an area for you to kill enemy's, collect collectibles, and get other random achievements. Here you will find everything you do throughout the game in one small area. There's a lot to explore but to explore it all you need more collectibles. There is a tent located here that is used to access the main storyline.
Step#3: Mop Up
After you finish the game you are given the option to go back and replay any chapters or visit the village. So if you missed anything it's ok, just go back and mop up what's left which should be easier if you have some of the cheats. The most helpful one is collecting all the Geodes. That will unlock a cheat which helps locate other hidden items by pressing back on the controller.
Hope you enjoy the game. I sure did even though it might be boring to others it can bring a lot of nostalgia if you ever read the book. Hope you enjoy the guide & I also hope you go see the awesome movie that this game is based off!
Collecting all of the collectibles next to the cheat shown is how to unlock it.
Skulls: Invulnerable- Can't be hurt my enemy attacks.
Eggs: Boat Cheat- Boat can't be damaged.
Houses: Riding Carol Cheat- Auto crashes threw bushes.
Honeycombs: No Eating- Wild things will not eat you.
Turtles: Instant Defeat- 1 kit kills.
Seeds: Full Lanterns- Lanterns fully heal you.
Geodes: Treasure Hunter- Shows location of hidden items.

There is honestly no need for a guide on these collectibles in the game so instead I will give some pointers & give you a general idea of how many collectibles can be found on each level.
First off play the game 1 time through destroying everything you see but if you don't have all the items by the end of the level don't worry you can come back later and get them. What I do recommend is really concentrating on collecting the Geodes any time you get a chance because that unlocks a cheat where your able to see hidden items.

"Find 95 Stars"
Throughout the game you will find shiny stars. They are located on every single level in the game even the village. They are not that difficult to find, but are usually out of the way of the main path in the game. Some require tiny puzzles why others are just hidden behind other objects. They are hard to miss but a few of them will require a little patients and timing. The most difficult ones for me to find were on the level called "The Old Willow" during the riding sequence you will have to choose between 2 different path ways 2 different times. So no matter what you will have to restart the level or go back later to collect all the stars. Other than that these are very easy to find so enjoy the hunt.

On Fire 10
"Defeat 250 Fireflies"
This is the easiest achievement in the game because you have to kill this many no matter what. Even if you don't want to you still must so don't sweat trying to stay back by hives. You will have plenty to kill. Anything that is flying is a firefly so pretty much everything you kill counts towards this.
Greased Lightning 15
"Defeat 25 Lightning Bugs"
During the game to get past certain parts and to collect certain items you will be forced to kill the big shocking Beatles. You will earn this before you finish, and if you don't you can replay levels to kill more. The way to kill them is to charge up your rod hit them and when they are turned over smash away.
The Cleaner 20
"Defeat 100 Shadow Creatures"
This achievement will be unlocked before you finish the game as it's required that you kill this many Shadow Creatures so don't worry about it. You will earn this by at least the 7th mission or 8th. If your wondering what they are, they are the tiny black creatures you kill during the parts where your saving the Wild Things from Oblivion.
"Defeat five enemies with one firefly bomb"
This one is a tad bit annoying but an easy place to obtain it is on the level called "Rebellion". Once you make your way around the first part of the game where you are getting dirt clods thrown at you by the Wild Things you will enter your first cave. In the cave you can find a ton of firefly hives. Walk to the one in the back an the instant explode firefly will appear wait for them to pile around then hit the instant exploder and the achievement will unlock.
Wild Rumpus! 10
"Defeat 15 enemies in a row in melee without being hit"
This is easily done on the first level. You will have to kill a ton of firefly's on the first level and as long as you press the block button which is the Left Trigger you will earn this. Just kill 15 and BANG! achievement unlocked!
Jack of Hearts 10
"Earn 4 Hearts"
See Ace of Hearts.
King of Hearts 15
"Earn 7 Hearts"
See Ace of Hearts.
Ace of Hearts 30
"Earn 10 Hearts"
During the course of the game you will see little white orbs. You get these by collecting, smashing, and killing things. By the end of the game you should have about 8 or 9 hearts. Don't worry about not having all the hearts before finishing the game because after you can replay chapters over again. The easiest level to gain white orbs in is "A Trip to the Moon".
Three Square Meals 20
"Be eaten by three different Wild Things"
This is very easy. When in the Village walk up to any of the Wild Things, when your next to them punch them and then they will attack you. Wait till they get your health all the way down. Once they do they will eat you. Now do this with 2 other Wild Things and you will unlock the achievement.
Worst King Ever 10
"Allow three different Wild Things to fade into oblivion"
Throughout the game you will be forced to fight the darkness off the Wild Things. You will know this when they are being sucked into a black goo. When you see this happening simply let them get sucked completely in. Don't worry because there is always a checkpoint right before each part so you can redo it over again. Just do this with 3 different Wild Things and the achievement will unlock.
Allergen 10
"Cause three different Wild Things to sneeze"
This can be done throughout the game at any section where your provided pollen but the easiest way is eventually after collecting enough of the Seed collectibles the garden in the Village will grow a Pollen plant. Once it's there just run around and throw Pollen at 3 different Wild Things.
Gymnast 5
"Power-swing from three bars"
You will unlock this on the very first level that you play. You will be required to cross 3 branches by swinging across them. Once across all 3 the achievement will unlock.
Captain 25
"Complete a ride with Carol without crashing"
This is easily done on the first mission where your required to ride on the back of Carol. While riding just avoid trees and duck under & jump over trees. Once you are finished with the riding section the achievement will pop.
Commodore 25
"Complete a Sailing mission without crashing"
This is easily done on the first mission where you are found in a sailboat. Simply avoid all the sides of the canyon and when you get attacked by the darkness or get caught in a whirl pool simply go Left & Right on the Right Joy Stick. But if you do happen to get the boat hit don't worry because as long as you don't destroy the entire boat & kill yourself then it will unlock.
Glass Houses 10
"Start a Dirt Clod Fight with multiple Wild Things"
When your in the Village you can find a pile of rocks that are laying around. Pick one up and toss it at any of the Wild Things. Once done they will start to throw things at you. Now just run behind another Wild Thing that's not throwing anything and once it's hit by the rock of the other Wild Thing the achievement will unlock.

Follow the Bull 20
Complete 'Arrival'
This is the first chapter in the game and is very straight forward. It's basically a training level where you will learn the ropes of the game. Your objective is to follow Bull to the Wild Thing hideout. Once done enjoy the first cinematic of the game!
Explore the Island 20
Complete 'Road to Nowhere'
In this level you will be following Carol around while he try's to test you to see if your wild enough to become a Wild Thing. It's a simple level with some new things in it. The end of the level is located when you see a portal. This is also the first level that you get to ride Carol on. So go for the achievement requiring you to not crash on Carols back, on this level.
Escape the Cave 20
Complete 'The Cave'
In this level Douglas and Alexander will trick you into entering a cave which is filled with the Shadow Creatures. The level is long and has your first flying sections. Over all a short and easy level.
Plug the Rifts 20
Complete 'Canyon River'
This is the first level you are able to sail in. You start off sailing so play smart if you want the achievement for not crashing. You can break pieces of the boat off but don't destroy the whole thing. Once that section is done you will follow Carol to a huge chunk of darkness flowing in the river. It's your job to take it out.
Rescue Ira 30
Complete 'Seasick'
Not much to say about this level except that it is very short but your job is to rescue Ira from the darkness. Follow KW to him and have fun fighting the darkness!
Go to Nowhere 30
Complete 'Rebellion'
On this level you will attacked by Judith and Douglas. You and KW will run through while she try's to protect you. There's a lot of Clod dodging and fighting Beatles along with Flying parts so enjoy. It is very easy, but once at the end be ready to face a double Shadow battle to save Judith and Douglas.
Survive the destruction 30
Complete 'Crumbling Island'
After the last level you are made King of the Wild Things due to you saving everyone. But it does not last long when you find that the world is being consumed by darkness and that the moon is closing in on earth. It's your job to get home safely after finding this out.
Find a new Island 40
Complete 'Old Willow'
This level starts you on the back of Carol. At the start you are given the option of choosing a path while on Carol either way you choose you will again come up to a second split pathway either way you have to redo this part later. Once the ride is over you will climb a mountain and enter the giant Firefly hive. It's your duty to get to the top and find another island!
Reach the Ocean 40
Complete 'Setting Sail'
This level starts you off on foot. Just continue you through the level looking for an area to set sail because your job is to get to the other island. Once you are on the boat get ready for an awesome sailing sequence & be sure not to crash.
Find Alexander 50
Complete 'Below the Roots'
Second to last level. This level will require you to follow Alexander to try and figure out what he is up too. The level is over all pretty easy with a ton of caves and a lot of firefly's. Once this level is over with enjoy the scene with Alexander where you get to see part of Max's room.
Leap to the Moon 50
Complete 'A Trip to the Moon'
Last level of the game and it's the hardest one, which still means nothing considering the game is pretty easy. This one has a lot of weird vine climbing & a ton of Shadow Creature killing. Your Wild Things will get caught in a ton of oblivion traps so remember to block a lot and lanterns are always there to help. Once done you will watch a scene and complete the game congratulations!

lol thank you, really he made it sound like I was to dumb to finish this easy game. When in reality yesterday at work we had a huge investigation where everyone had to come in and get interrogated by like 20 cops & a special investigator for stealing $10,000 worth of product from our store. We could not leave for 12 hours until someone confessed to it. Waste of my life. But, finally it's up and ready.

Why must you assume that a guide needs to be posted in hours of the game being out? Unlike you I actually want to put effort into the guide to make it good not rush it at your command. Patients grass hopper.
Also don't be rude everyone is entitled to write a guide. But if you are going to post in someone's guide don't be rude about it. Instead give some pointers to either help or fix things. Saying "I'm going to do my own guide and its going to rock yours through the roof" is a waste of a post. Don't be rude to your fellow x360a members.

I might pick this one up.
Can someone compare the collectibles in this game to another game for me so I know what to expect?
Are they like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?

I can't find 2 of the geostones in the Village. If anyone can help with those, I'd greatly appreciate it. It would have to be 2 that aren't easily found. I have collected all of them from smashing items and from watering plants. I traveled completely across the village four times, now. No luck. Either my game has glitched, or these two are just hidden very well.

Guide looks pretty solid. I'll have this game sometime next and will be using it along the way.
Also, try and edit your posts instead of triple posting (posts 7-9), Just causes clutter.

Thank you I will edit that.
I love it when people go into game guides and tear the guy making it a new one because they have a life outside their 360 Hence why the two guides I did were on obscure games, NOBODY will harass me over it not being complete then! Only one prick who pointed out an error that I pointed out as well in the one guide. Oh well.
Anyhow, great guide and don't let the dick comments derail you. Looks nice. Saw this at Blockbuster and rented it, figured a) it'll keep me entertained now that I finished Lucidity and Brutal Legend is out of stock and b) hey, easy 1000, get it done in 48 hours. Clearly the latter won't happen (left the 360 at home, so I'll finish it up Wednesday I guess), but definitely going to use the guide to make sure I get everything I need in each stage before moving on.
Already missed 3 skulls on the 1st stage. I was tired when I played so, I'll chock it up to that...

This whole achievement guide has been a huge help...ive been taking in every but of this game and it is very very cool
Great guide. Screw that other guy.
I'm getting ready to start this game and I was just wondering if there's a way to find out which level you're missing collectibles? I know about the cheats but I don't wanna have to go through each level looking. Thanks.

Theres 2 stars in the village that I cant get to. One is surrounded by an electric force field and the other is hidden behind some rocks on a high ledge. I noticed there is a rock pile outside of the one hidden behind the rocks. Do I use those to break the rock wall?

Nice guide! I liked the pics you used to intro each section. I just picked up the game so hopefully all the stuff to find won't be too time consuming.

The High Notes
We asked the Davis lads of Highland, Mich., to reveal a bit about each other by partaking in everybody's favorite party game, Mad Libs. (Well, actually, it's spin the bottle, but that's just too weird in this case.)
NAME Mickey Davis
JOB Vocal performance major (opera singer) at Oakland University in Michigan

Okay, DANNY. You first. When it comes to the best brothers on JUPITER, (PLANET) MASTER SPLINTER (BROTHER'S NICKNAME) takes the PICKLES (FAVORITE FOOD). I'll never forget the time we went to NAPLES, FLA. (FAMILY VACATION SPOT), and he taught me how to BANG (VERB) all over the PRESIDENT (NOUN). Plus, whenever I forgot to DUCK (VERB) our beloved MAX (FAMILY PET), he EXCITEDLY (ADVERB) took care of it. And all I had to pay him was 42(#) bucks. Now that's love.
All right, MICKEY, fire back. DAN THE MAN (BROTHER'S NICKNAME) is more important to me than SHRIMP SCAMPI (FAVORITE FOOD). Ever since I started to THROW (VERB ), he's had my UNIBROW (WORST FEATURE). Not only is he FEARLESS (ADJECTIVE) and JOVIAL (ADJECTIVE), but when it comes to CROCHETING (HOBBY), there are only 12 (#) people in the world who do it better. Sure, HE MAKES FUN OF MY MUSIC (PET PEVE), but the bottom line is that he's like a COUSIN DEREK (RELATIVE) to me.

DARON We grew up on a lake in Northern California, in Walnut Creek, so I'd always go waterskiing with my sister. The lake was warm and shallow, so there was a ton of algae floating around.
SHANNON Thick, green muck. You could put your hand in the water and not even see it. Gross.
DARON My dad, who held an unofficial water-ski jumping record of 158 feet back in the '60s, would pull us. But when I was old enough to drive, I'd purposely slow the boat down and drag Shannon through the algae until she was covered in it. Funny stuff.
SHANNON He'd seek out the most stagnant water with the thickest algae and stop so I'd sink in the stuff. When they pulled me out, I'd have this thick, slimy paste all over me. I still have nightmares about it.

The Malinoskis grew up in the same Canadian home (Humboldt, Saskatchewan), yet one's a frost-mongering snocrosser while the other's a sun-worshipping wakeboarder. How'd it happen? Neither has a clue. But a simple psych test speaks volumes.

Two helicopters on 999 missions came within 300ft of crashing in mid-air after a mix-up over who had 'right of way' in an emergency.
Both pilots were on official missions - one circling to help a police ground operation and the other rushing a critically ill patient to hospital.
Each was aware of the other craft, but it was only at the last minute that one of them aborted his mission and dived to get away from the other.
Experts decided there is so much confusion over 'right of way' in the sky that the Civil Aviation Authority needs to lay down clear rules.
The near miss happened late at night while a National Police Air Service Eurocopter was circling about 1,400ft over Bristol.
At the same time, an RAF Sea King was flying across the city with a critically ill patient and a medical team en route from Wales to Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.
The Sea King crew could see the other aircraft turning towards them from two miles away, guessed it would pass safely below them, and did not change course.
The police pilot realised the other aircraft would pass over him, but uncomfortably close. Aware of the powerful 'down-wash' from the bigger chopper's blades he decided to abort his mission and descend.
The incident, which happened in April, was investigated by the UK Airprox Board, which examines near misses in British airspace.
Its report, just published, ruled it would have been safer if the Sea King pilot had deviated from his course just a little - and the incident could have been completely avoided if both pilots had bothered to radio each other.
The board said the airmen may have become focused on their emergency tasks, "to the detriment of flight safety".
"Both clearly believed they had priority status over other airspace users when in fact this was not the case," the report stated, describing rules laid down for emergency aircraft are "very woolly indeed".
It concluded: "The Board resolved to recommend that the CAA considers publishing definitive guidance and information on the meaning and use of emergency services priority flights, and that other airspace users take due consideration of their potential inability to manoeuvre when on task or orbiting."

Re: Did the exile hurt Ali's legacy or did it help it?
Covering what most people already said like but anyway...True he became personally near Hero by avoiding draft and losing his title, but in a way we will never know how much it affected his legacy as a boxer.
Those 3-1/2yrs out would have been his best, no doubt, it was his peak as a fighter, take a look at Williams / Zora Folley, he was always confident but something in him had changed around then, he had reached his peak, any heavyweight over the coming 3-4yrs would not have got near him, think he was good when Liston couldnt lay a glove on him when he was green......his peak would have been something else, he was red-hot and would have danced with and destroyed all comers, its like never seeing the 2-3 years when Tyson was awesome and at his peak.....
What we missed we'll never know, what we gained we all know.
