DOJ spars with S&P over jurisdiction for ratings litigation
Standard & Poor's is reportedly trying to move 17 state lawsuits accusing the company of misrepresenting 'mortgage bonds ratings' into federal court.
But the Wall Street Journal says the Justice Department, which sued S&P along with state prosecutors over the firm's bond ratings, is pushing back.
This week, the department asked a federal court in Connecticut to keep the cases at the state level.

EMC, the majority owner of VMware, has agreed with the Department of Justice not to acquire 33 Virtualization Patents from Novell as part of a side-transaction in the acquisition of Novell by Attachmate. The Statement from the Department of Justice sheds significant light on the deal that had been struck between Novell and a newly-created company formed by Microsoft, EMC, Apple, Oracle to acquire a portfolio of patents for $450M, and the anti-trust threat that the Department of Justice saw to the Open Source community. And whilst the spotlight has been on Microsoft's role, it seems that the role of EMC in seeking to acquire Virtualization patents was at least as concerning to the Department of Justice.
Under the terms of the original deal, at the same time as Attachmate acquired Novell, a newly-formed company called CPTN Holdings would acquire a portfolio of 882 patents from Novell, and then Microsoft, EMC, Apple and Oracle would each acquire some of these patents from CPTN Holdings.

FA's manager shortlist larger than two
ESPNsoccernet understands that Harry Redknapp and Roy Hodgson are not the only candidates in the running for the England job.
A report published in Friday's Daily Mail claimed the Football Association is lining up an approach for top target Redknapp.
It went on to claim Hodgson is considered an alternative to Redknapp should the Tottenham manager rebuff the FA's advances or his club choose not to let their manager go.
The report also suggested a move for Fabio Capello's successor had been pencilled in for late April, but ESPNsoccernet understands the FA has no particular timeframe in mind other than, as previously indicated, to make an approach around the end of the domestic season.
It is believed Spurs would consider releasing Redknapp from his contract only if offered substantial compensation, while such an expense would not be an issue with regards Hodgson as he is out of contract at West Brom in the summer, yet the FA remains open to other candidates at this stage and could still make a leftfield appointment.
"The message remains the same. No-one has been spoken to and no-one has been approached,'' an FA spokesman said. "We are quite happy with where we are."

Sapmaster Vu
|Sapmaster Vu
|Pandaren (Humanoid)
|The Sunset Brewgarden, Dread Wastes
Sapmaster Vu is a pandaren quest giver in Sunset Brewgarden within the Dread Wastes. He is part of a long line of courageous (or crazy) pandaren brewmasters who brave the Dread Wastes in hopes of finding exotic ingredients to brew the best beverages. Most notably, Vu uses the amber sap from the Kypari trees to make his signature [Shimmering Amber-Brew]. He worries that the corruption of the Sha of Fear will eventually destroy all the Kypari trees and make his craft impossible.
During the Dread Wastes storyline, he uncovers a Klaxxi prophecy and, convinced that it is actually a beer recipe, goes on a trip with the player, Lya of Ten Songs, and Olon the Chuggernaut to find what the prophecy/recipe has in store. The trip leads to the freedom of the Klaxxi Paragon Iyyokuk the Lucid and the creation of his new Dreadbrew during [90] Blood of Ancients, which can be used to help Han Stormstout. He is later seen selling his strange brews with Olon on the Timeless Isle.

Et fantastisk opphold, i en fantastisk flott leilighet sentralt i Budapest :-)
Anbefales å leie denne leiligheten!!
Nice big flat with cozy atmosphere, good location near Freedom Bridge and main market hall, lots of pubs on the same street.
Big problem (only for travellers by car): there is no parking lot, as promised, with the appartement; public parking on weekdays during the time from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. has to be payed and is - in the street and in the neighbourhood - limited to 3 hours at a certain spot. Otherwise, you will get a ticket for sure. However, it is goot to know that you can pay your ticket at an office just around the corner.
We did not actually stay in the flat we had booked, because there was a technical issue. We were contacted a few days before and diverted to the new flat, so this was no trouble. The owners arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport and the handover was very smooth. The flat we stayed in ("de luxe", also managed by Bea) was equivalent to the original flat, if anything more central. It was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable, clean and tidy. It is very conveniently located right next to Astoria metro. The Jewish quarter with its bars and restaurants is immediately behind, the central area of Pest in front. Very central both for the sightseeing and the nightlife. The downside of this great location is that it is not quiet. The road outside is very busy 24/7, with lots of police sirens. So if you love silence, this is not the flat for you. Otherwise we can recommend it wholeheartedly.
Very comfortable apartment in the centre of old city. A lot of restaurants and pubs at the street. The best mango ice very close to the apartment. Be careful of payment for the parking. We spent nice time. Thank You
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I stayed five nights in this pleasant apartment.It was very spacious with plenty of natural daylight.A big thanks to the lady who met me at the apartment and showed me how to use the tv and internet.A great stay i had here in this apartment and i would definitely recommend.Thanks Bea.

Great little apartment, excellent location right in the centre of town so most of the sights are within easy walking distance. Lots of nightlife nearby, and everything inside the apartment was very clean and organised. Would recommend to all.

Almaty results!
By Leonid Yuryev (ringside) and Alexey Sukachev
Yesterday, Kazakh contender-turned-promoter Marat Mazimbaev stage his second local show this year in Almaty, Kazakhstan. In the main event of the evening Kanat Kartenbaev (9-3-2, 3 KOs) acquired the vacant interim PABA light welterweight title with a bloody sixth-round TKO over Indonesian Tia Koswara (16-9-2, 9 KOs). The loacal hero controlled the fight from the outset, finally dropping his opponent at the end of the fifth round. Koswara was able to survive the round but was decked again in the sixth; this time for the count.
In what seemed to be the most anticipated fight of the card, 2007 Asian champion and former Kazakh Olympian Mirat Sarsembaev (also 2005 WC bronze medalist) made his professional debut with a classy four-round unanimous decision ove Uzbek no-hoper Bakhyt Abdurahimov (1-4). Sarsembaev, 22, competing now in the bantamweight class, dropped his foe in round two.
Young lightweight Berik Kaliev (4-0, 2 KOs) was taken in deep waters in his pitch battle against much more experienced Kyrgyz Jahongir Abdullaev (17-3, 5 KOs) but finally got the better of him, scoring an unanimous decision over six rounds. Abdullaev lost his third straight. Middleweight Simeon Uporov (9-1, 5 KOs) scored his most important win so far outpointing Russian Alexey Chirkov (18-6, 11 KOs) also over six.

Taipei Is Tasting The Mainland's Wrathby
After decades of banning transportation links with China, Taiwan was all set to allow ocean-going freighters from the mainland to join the stream of ships from Hong Kong flowing in and out of its southern port of Kaohsiung. With indirect trade between the two countries booming, Taiwanese companies have long been clamoring for such a move. But Beijing officials, angered by Taiwan's latest attempts to gain international recognition, won't allow the plan to go forward. "Our facilities are all in place," says a dejected David Lai, a Kaohsiung port official. "Only political problems keep us from getting it going."
The sudden souring of relations adds to growing doubts in Taiwanese executive suites about doing business on the mainland. Already squeezed by rising costs on their China ventures, many executives were thinking about avoiding risk by investing in friendlier Southeast Asian nations. "Most larger companies are waiting to see how the political situation changes before putting more into China," says Kao Charng, research fellow at the Chang-Hua Institution for Economic Research, a Taipei think tank.
VEILED THREATS. Right now, the situation doesn't look good. High-profile trips abroad by President Lee Teng-hui and other Taiwanese officials and continuing efforts by Taiwan to gain diplomatic recognition have led to veiled threats by Beijing to use its military against the island. On July 19, Taiwan's stock market dropped 4%, after China said it would conduct missile tests in the East China Sea--north of the island. "The mainland Chinese government seems ready for action," says Chih-yu Shih, a political scientist at National Taiwan University.
Business is caught in the crossfire, with Beijing calling off talks on investment protection for Taiwanese companies and other economic issues. As a result, few new deals are being done. "Every decision has to be postponed," says J.T. Wang, president of Acer Sertek, a marketing arm of computer maker Acer Inc. His company has delayed an aggressive promotional effort planned for major Chinese cities.
Even before Lee's U.S. trip prompted such a harsh response from Beijing, many Taiwanese executives were upset by the treatment they were receiving. In May, the Chinese angered Taiwanese companies by suddenly enforcing the collection of value-added taxes of 17% on imported raw materials. Around the same time, new tariffs on textiles and plastics increased import fees for many Taiwanese manufacturers by 27%. The higher taxes, along with a 50% jump in labor costs in China's coastal provinces, are hurting profits.
Faced with such problems, Taiwanese companies are expanding elsewhere. Their investment in Vietnam and in the six members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations quadrupled last year and now totals more than $24 billion, nearly as much as their investment in China.
"PRAGMATISM." Taipei is encouraging more such ventures. When CIS Technology Inc., a computer-peripherals maker in suburban Taipei, was deciding last year where to set up a $12 million floppy-disk factory, it didn't seriously consider China. "The quality of workers there isn't so good," sniffs David Liu, the finance manager. Instead, CIS chose an industrial zone in Vietnam being developed by a company run by Taiwan's ruling party, the Kuomintang.
To be sure, China is still part of the long-term strategy for many of Taiwan's biggest companies. One of the largest investors in the mainland, food-and-beverage giant President Enterprises Corp., is forging ahead uith plans to expand manufacturing throughout China. Many companies have become used to the uncertainty of relations across the Taiwan Straits. "Taiwanese businessmen are the epitome of pragmatism," says Nick Chen, Taipei branch manager for Perkins Coie, a U.S. law firm. "In the end, they'll be able to subordinate [political worries] to economic interests."
But the current tensions may last much longer than earlier ones. In the struggle to succeed Deng Xiaoping, no Beijing politician wants to be seen as soft on Taiwan. And with Taiwan's first-ever presidential elections set for early next year, the Taiwanese government isn't backing down. Beijing "can't bully us around," says government spokesman Jason C. Hu. With that kind of bravado from Taiwanese leaders, ships from the mainland may not be heading to Kaohsiung harbor for a long while.

Until recently most people didn't even know what a puppy mill was. Thanks to Oprah for airing a show, one of her most watched, on the subject that helped bring the horrors of what was happening behind the scenes to light.
Puppy mills are nothing new. These mass dog-breeding operations have been around for decades. They continue to thrive because they prey on unwitting consumers who are smitten by too-cute-for-words puppies in pet store windows and on fancy websites.
But behind the friendly facade of the local pet shop, the pastoral scenes on a "breeder's" website, or the neighborhood newspaper ad, there often lies a puppy mill. These canine breeding facilities house dogs in shockingly poor conditions.
Life is particularly bad for "breeding stock," dogs who live their entire lives in cages and are continually bred for years, without human companionship and with little hope of ever becoming part of a family. These dogs receive little or no veterinary care and never see a bed, a treat or a toy. After their fertility wanes, breeding animals are commonly killed, abandoned or sold to another mill. The annual result of all this breeding is hundreds of thousands of puppies, many with behavior and/or health problems.
Sadly, few states have laws directly effecting the treatment of dogs in puppy mills. We, as a collective group of 50 million plus dog owners, have the power to take a stand and contact our legislators to demand a change. Stricter laws need to be passed into legislation and enforced to stop the inhumane treatment of these dogs.
Logan, our Bernese Mountain Dog rescue, was a dog used for stud at a puppy mill. He spent over 4 years in a 2×4 cage where he couldn't even sit up. His only human contact came when it was time to be pulled from the cage to fulfill his role. When he stopped producing, he was discarded just as a 64 pound bag of flea and tick infested garbage would be.
Something minor in the whole scheme of things, but something that really drove home the reality of his situation to me, was that fact he never even had a name. As Lisa and I work with Logan to get him to trust humans, I have no doubt that puppy mills are a business, in it for profit, with no concern over the welfare of the dog. That's why the word needs to be spread far and wide about these despicable actions.
Puppy Mill Awareness Day is committed to educating the public about the connection between consumers and commercial breeding facilities. Don't miss this fun filled day.
Thank you so much for all of the stars, rosstes, & special gifts are family has gotten from all are friends. We don't have internet acess at the moment that is why we have not thanked everyone right.
We are so lucky to have such great pals, whould whould also like to thank all are pals that have been there for us, with Missy's passing!
We love you all!
Ethan Adam, he was born on April 3, 2008 at 5:01pm, he was 8lbs 7oz & 21 ins long.
Mom is so suprised on how we are handling it, and how good we are with him. So sorry we have it been on, us and mom have been so busy, and we don't have much time to get on.
But we miss all of you! Hope you all miss us!

By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
The NHL's free-agency signing period opens Wednesday. The most intriguing free agents:
1. Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester (signed with Flames): The Calgary Flames acquired his rights from the Florida Panthers, and they're expected to sign the Alberta native in a deal worth at least $6 million per season. Should he choose not to sign, he will have a long line of suitors because he's 24 and his best seasons are still in front of him.
2. The Sedin twins (re-signed with Canucks): As this is being written, Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis is heading to Sweden in what appears to be a final attempt to keep left wing Daniel and center Henrik Sedin. Considering they wanted to stay in Vancouver, it still feels as if a deal will get done. If it doesn't get done, the Sedins' options will be limited if they want to play together. The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs seem they would be a good fit.
3. Right wing Marian Hossa (signed with Blackhawks): Unless he's willing to accept a Johan Franzen-style deal (11 years, $44 million, $3.9 million salary cap), the Red Wings can't afford to re-sign him. Never mind his lack of product, he's big, strong, defensively responsible and he can skate. He's like to be a primary target of teams with money to spend, such as the Los Angeles Kings, Montreal or the Canucks, if they don't sign the Sedins.
4. Defenseman Mike Komisarek(signed with Maple Leafs): He's the big shutdown defenseman that every team covets, particularly in the East where they have to deal with the bigger forwards such as Alex Ovechkin, Eric Staal and Evgeni Malkin, Considering how many teams will want him, it's easy to see the bidding going to $5 million per season. Even in the salary cap era, defensemen, even those without offensive numbers, are commanding big payoffs in the open market.
5. Right wing Martin Havlat (signed with Wild): The Blackhawks want to keep him for his goal scoring and his presence, but they have salary cap issues going forward. Creativity will required to keep him in Chicago. If no deal is completed, he will have many interested teams. He scored 29 goals last season, and he was almost a point-per-game player. If you want to know what he is thinking, he twitters for fans regularly.
6. Defenseman Rob Scuderi (signed with Kings): When he blocked Johan Franzen's shot near the end of Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Finals, he probably picked up another $500,000 in free-agent salary. His reputation was enhanced by his strong performance in the playoffs. Former Pittsburgh player Bob Errey, now a broadcaster, called Scuderi the "best 5-on-3 defenseman" in the league. He likes Pittsburgh and might be willing to give a hometown discount. But he has never had a major payday, and no one is going to blame him for leaving town if he gets offers of more than $3.75 million. That could happen.
7. Defenseman Francois Beauchemin (signed with Maple Leafs): Based on the salary cap's short history, teams will overpay for a strong, tough, skilled defenseman. Don't be surprised if the bidding on Beauchemin spikes quickly.
8. Right wing Marian Gaborik (signed with Rangers): Although Gaborik has had some injury issues during his career, there is still a league-wide romance with his game-breaking ability.
9. Defenseman Mattias Ohlund(signed with Lightning): He's 220 pounds and is an offensive contributor.
10. Center-wing Michael Cammalleri (signed with Canadiens): The Flames couldn't afford to keep him because he scored 39 goals this season, which probably means the bidding starts at $5 million and climbs. He's only 27.
11. Center Saku Koivu (signed with Ducks): The Canadiens are still trying to re-sign him, but if he becomes a free agent, it seems like a possibility that he would consider playing in Minnesota with his brother Mikko.
12. Center Nik Antropov (signed with Thrashers): Although there are mixed reviews on Antropov, there is such a shortage of centers that multiple teams will be interested in him. The Atlanta Thrashers need a center for Ilya Kovalchuk and he might be a good fit.
13. Right wing Brian Gionta: (signed with Canadiens) He's 30 and his goal scoring has dropped each of the past four seasons. He has gone from being a 48-goal scorer to a 20-goal scorer. However, his assist totals have grown the past three seasons and he can still bring speed on the wing.
14. Right wing Alex Kovalev (signed with Senators): By all accounts, Kovalev had a rough 2008-09 and he still scored 26 goals. He's a slick stickhandler and he's still a dynamic player, even at age 36.
15. Left wing Erik Cole: (re-signed with Hurricanes) Despite his troubles scoring in the playoffs, his combination of speed, offense and snarl make him attractive. But clearly he doesn't have the same reputation as a difference maker that he had four years ago.
16. Right wing Steve Sullivan (re-signed with Predators): The Nashville Predators wanted to keep him, but they are balking at a longer term deal because Sullivan missed more than 600 days with a back injury. Sullivan produced once he returned to the lineup and he wants to be paid like a scorer.
17. Defenseman Jaroslav Spacek: (signed with Canadiens) The Buffalo Sabres are trying to sign this dependable two-way contributor. Several teams will be courting him.
18. Right wing Mikael Samuelsson (signed with Canucks) : The Red Wings like him, but they have no room in the inn. He's 6-2, 218 and owns a booming shot. He can play the point on the power play. He suffers from confidence problems, but he's capable of playing as a top six forward when he's going well.
19. Left wing Alex Tanguay: The trick of trying to sign Tanguay is trying to figure out his potential at this point of his career. He lost 32 games to injury last season and still managed 16 goals.
20. Right wing Chad LaRose (re-sgned with Hurricanes): He had a career year at the right time, scoring 19 goals this past season. He can be feisty.
21. Defenseman Adrian Aucoin (signed with Coyotes): At 34, he's still a top four defenseman who can score 10 to 12 goals per season.
22. Right wing Mike Knuble: (signed with Capitals) At 36, he was a 27-goal scorer last season. He can help a power play without breaking the bank.
23. Defenseman Mathieu Schneider: He just turned 40, but he produced five goals and 12 assists in 23 games after being traded to Montreal. He's not a $5.75 million player, but he will receive a one-year contract from a team looking for a power play point man.
24. Right wing Mike Grier: (Signed with Sabres) He's almost 230 pounds and can be a valuable role player.
25. Left wing/center Tomas Kopecky: (signed with Blackhawks) He would be a quality signing for a team trying to find a diamond in the rough. The 6-3, 210-pounder has been a role player in Detroit, but he has shown a scoring touch when his playing time was increased. He has some spunk.

These Apple Crisps in a jar are perfect for gift giving!
I made a few of the jars gluten free, but I truly think they taste the exact same! You could make all of them gluten free and not compromise the taste.
Apple Crisp In A Jar Recipe (*GF substitutions)
5 cups apples (I used red delicious)
3 T sugar
1/2 C rolled oats (or *gluten free oats)
1/2 C packed brown sugar
1/4 C flour (or *Pamela's baking mix)
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 C softened butter
10 oz. canning jars (makes enough for about 4)
*As a rule, oats are gluten free, but the areas in which they are grown may have been previously occupied by wheat. It's safest to use gluten free oats if you have a wheat allergy.
And quickly, have I told you about the amazing Pamela's Baking Mix? Since I stopped eating gluten, Pamela's makes it possible for me to enjoy baked goods like pancakes, apple crisp, and breads with my family or company when they come. My kids can't taste the difference when I use Pamela's in pancakes, and I haven't had one complaint about my pumpkin bread that I have made with it!
Moving on… :)
Wash the apples and remove the skin. Then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Add the sugar and stir well. Set the apples aside.
Combine oats, baking mix or flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and slowly add in soft butter. Trust me on this one – don't melt the butter or try to add in cold butter. It just doesn't work well.
Layer oats mixture, another layer of apples, and more oats on top. Fill the jar as much as you can because you'll be surprised at how much it sinks during baking, making you think that the recipients will rename your gift "Half of an Apple Crisp in a Jar."
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes. I just looked for browning, then pulled them out.
And viola! Apple Crisp in a Jar. I refrigerated these for a night, and then put them and some mini containers of vanilla ice cream (to fill the other half of the jar that had settled) into a big cooler bag and brought them to the school for the boys' teachers.

The poor iPhone 5 - it is getting torn to shreds before even seeing the light of day. The latest iPhone 5 leak details several of its internal components, ones we wouldn't normally see in a pre-release splurge like this.
Photos claiming to be of Apple iPhone 5 parts have been spotted by AppleInsider. To those who don't spend weekends taking apart gadgets with tiny screwdrivers, it may look like a broken pile of junk, but these parts are crucial to making to the iPhone 5 work. Here, we see the naked volume rocker, the new proximity sensor, the microSIM slot, the home buttons, the front cover and a metal plate that shields the rear of the phone, from inside. What kind of shielding? It's likely to be to do with electromagnetic interference or, as AppleInsider suggets, heat shielding.
Is it all-change for the iPhone 5? Not quite. The front panel shows that while the screen may be a little longer, resulting in a 4in diagonal measurement, it's still distinctly iPhone-like in its design.
The screen is one of the most drastic changes in the iPhone 5's design, though, as the first time its size has been increased since the series started back in 2007. Other likely changes include a faster processor, improved camera and the inclusion of NFC. This stands for Near Field Communication - a wireless standard that's commonly used for small payment transactions.
It's just over a month until the iPhone 5's supposed release date, on September 12. But with the thing already stripped bare, is there really all that much left to learn?

Water buffaloes are quite common in the Northern Territory and even kept as pets.
But before you go and ask your mum for one, just make sure you've got enough space. These critters can grow up to 180cm tall and weigh up to 1200kg.
Types of Buffalo
There are 3 main types of buffalo:
Bison: are found in North America and have a thick coat of long, dark hair and came from Eurasia originally.
Water Buffalo (also known as Swamp Buffalo and Indian Buffalo): are found in south east Asia and were introduced to Australia in the 1800s. They produce milk from which speciality products like cheese and yoghurts are made.
Cape Buffalo: these large, black and horned buffalo are found in Africa, between the Sahara and the Cape of Good Hope.
Buffaloes in Australia
The Water Buffalo was introduced to the Northern Territory from Indonesia in the 1820s and 1830s. They were used in the British settlements to mainly pull carts.
When the outposts were abandoned, the buffalo escaped or were set free. They thrived in the wild, especially along the coastal plains that turn into swamps in the wet season.
These days you'll find Water Buffalo in the freshwater floodplains of the Top End and along creek lines through Arnhem Land.
During the 1980s, the government tried to control the population of feral Water Buffalo through a Brucellosis and tuberculosis eradication campaign. But they've proved a hardy breed and they've come back stronger than before.
Buffalo Facts
- Males are called bulls and have bigger, square shaped necks
- Females are called buffalo cows and have rounder necks
- Buffalo calves and cows live in groups. A female calf remains with its mother - often for life.
- Buffaloes are active mainly at night and at dusk, spending the rest of the day wallowing in mud or resting in woodlands.
- Aboriginal people hunt buffaloes in Arnhem land and they even feature in their stories and culture.

Types of Poetry:
A World-Class
Virtual Encyclopedia
Has anyone ever asked you, "What types of poetry do you write?"
What people generally mean by "types of poetry" is "What particular poetic forms do you employ?" or "What is the subject matter you explore?" They may really be asking you to describe
poetry in some kind of terms they may understand from their high school English classes.
These questions are difficult to answer if you do not understand the different types of poetry on the market (and many people, particularly the uninitiated, don't).
Nevertheless, learning different techniques can be a lot of fun. And the study of the different types of poetry is an excellent way to become familiar with the history of poetry, with individual poets with whom we may not be familiar - or that we admire - and a great way to improve on our own craft.
Of course,
types of poetry
are determined by several key factors. We'll refer to them as
The elements of poetry are form, style, tone, philosophy, school (aka movement) and subject matter.
The elements of poetry: Form, Style and Tone
Versus Philosophy, School and Subject Matter
The first element,
, is the particular genre of poetry, or category, the poem may fall into. For instance, sonnet, haiku, cinquain, sestina, villanelle and ballade are all different forms of poetry. However, there are many more.
Click one of the links below to learn more about that poetry form:
Ars Poetica
have to do with the individual uniqueness of every poet and, many times, individual poems. Style refers to how poetry is written using such tools as capitalization, punctuation, line breaks and word choice. Tone has more to do with the overall feeling a poem arouses in its reader.
Is it a sad poem? Or is it funny? Does it evoke feelings of despair or joy? Love or hate? Does it inspire, criticize, have a sort of mystery to it? All of these questions are answered by the tone of the poem itself.
elements of poetry
vary by individual poem as much as they do by the poets who write them. William Shakespeare wrote in the sonnet form but each of his thousands of sonnets has an individual style and tone that sets it apart from all the others. You can even tell the difference between a
Shakespearean Sonnet
and the sonnets of other poets who used that form as well – two that come to mind are Petrarch and Edmund Spenser – simply because they each had their own unique style and tone. In other words, the elements set them apart.
is another element of poetry that bears mentioning. Every poet, and every poem for that matter, has a particular philosophy underlying it. You may even call it a worldview. It can be religious, secular, romantic, puritan, nihilistic, esoteric or any number of other philosophical schools of thought. But every poet approaches the craft of poetry from a different point of view. Inevitably, that worldview is going to seep in, either intentionally or unintentionally. It's good to be aware of your particular worldview and exploit it for all it's worth.
What's more, entire schools or movements may have an underlying philosophy behind them, which makes certain types of poetry difficult to define.
The particular school of poetry, or class, is also important. It could just as well be called movement and is closely related to philosophy but is different from philosophy because poets from different, or even competing, worldviews may belong to the same
poetic school or movement
Follow one of the links below to learn more about each school or movement of poetry:
Harlem Renaissance Poetry
Symbolism Poetry
New Formalism
subject matter
is of prime importance in influencing the type of poetry one writes. Are you writing about politics? Love? War? Vengeance? An epic tale of heroism? Or a trivial conversation?
While any form or style of poetry can theoretically be used to write about any subject matter, the type of poetry one does write is closely related to subject matter. The sonnet, for instance, is mostly used to write about love and romance.
Allen Ginsberg's "Howl,"
however, a political rant, addresses another subject altogether and is written in a completely different style and tone.
So, no matter what types of poetry you write, subject matter is at least of some consideration when discussing form, style and tone.
The Chicken or the Egg
Or, Which Came First? Form, Style and Tone, or Subject Matter?
When writing a poem, where do you start?
That's a good question. Theoretically, you can start anywhere, and different poets have started at different places, even when writing on similar themes. The same poet may even start two different poems from two different beginnings.
You may get an idea for a title first, or you may get the idea for the first line – or any line – and work off of that. You may decide you'd like to write about a feeling you have for a particular person or event, or maybe you want to write about what you witnessed on the way to school one morning.
It really doesn't matter where you start, but it does matter how you incorporate all of the elements so they work together. Before you can do that, though, you need to study each poetic element on its own to understand how they all fit into the whole.
We invite you on a little journey. Take a step into the World-Class Poetry web universe and embark on a fascinating study of poetry, the types of poetry that have been written down through history and a philosophy of poetics as unique as your grandmother's apple pie.

I read the award title in that voice lolOriginally Posted by StoneyMahoney
Killer Instinct-style announcers voice
I did suggest a "Steaming Turd" award in the past. Strangely enough they didn't go for the idea. ;)Originally Posted by feathers
Where is the 'Disapproved' badge or the 'Extreme ultra disapproved'? It's as dumb as creating a social networking site and only giving people a "Like" option.
^^ This ^^Originally Posted by aLtikal
Go back to Bit tech Excellence or something.

But really, EXTREME ULTRA!1!!ONEONE!lolgasm!! for a game isn't neccessary at all...In fact I've never heard anyone refer to a game as extreme ultra....come to think of it, i've not heard that for a PC component either...
Scrap the ultra, please! It's borderline childish!

This is just absurd.

People get linked to bit-tech from external sites, would you rather they find a childish "Extreme Ultra" award or a more professional "Excellence" award ?
#Originally Posted by timmythemonkey
"Extreme Ultra" does not deserve to be given the "Approved" award.
Loose the "Ultra", please. While it may be an in-office joke, I have a feeling at the pit of my stomach that manufacturers and retailers will take it seriously.

Open GL ES 3.0 is expected to bring "updated shading language, enhanced texturing" to Android. The mobile graphics specification is already supported by chips like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 which is found in new handsets like the LG Optimus G Pro, HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. Improved graphics will certainly lead to a crop of new games for Android 4.3.
Android 4.3 is expected to be introduced during Google I/O which takes place later this month. Originally, it had been thought that Google would debut Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie during the developer event, but with OEMs asking for a delay so that they can push out Android 4.2.2 to their current devices, Google has agreed to hold off on releasing the next major update to Android.

The only question here (and posed by the link) is how we define a hero.
This is a discussion on Chris Hayes: I'm 'Uncomfortable' Calling Fallen Military 'Heroes' within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; He states that the term with it's images of valor is "rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war".

He states that the term with it's images of valor is "rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war". This little twit just wants a more politically correct name to be used for a fallen soldier. My God, is there no end to it?

I nominate Chris Hayes, to be our top negotiator with the Taliban...... he should go by himself, all alone, and meet with them personally.... to discuss all negotiations for peace. This would be "his chance" to show his stuff, what he's made of , and to find out if the rest of the world, and in particular the Taliban, are really all for peace.... and proving to the world that any war with the Taliban is unnecessary.
Jump in there Chris, here's your BIG chance.........
There is a time when you either need to "put up " , or "shut up".
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
Some years back I watched a Viet Nam movie (Platoon? Hamburger Hill?). The soldiers were talking about draft dodgers going to Canada... when one soldier expressed admiration for those who didn't want to fight, the Sergeant replied IIRC "Not me. Just show up. You don't want to hurt the yellow man, fine. Shoot in the air or don't shoot at all. Just show up."
Just showing up is what makes every member of our military (and public safety professions) Heroes.
To paraphrase- Some will give all; All will give some.

I call the police because someone is in my home trying to rape me. The police officer shows up and sits in my driveway while I'm upstairs being raped and I'm supposed to call him a hero?
Or, let's look at the firefighter called to a burning residence. He shows up and a Mom is holding her baby out of the second story window with smoke and fire licking at her back. He waits beside his rig and he's a hero because he showed up? I don't think so.
An EMT or paramedic is called for someone having a heart attack. They get there and someone is laying in the floor unconscious in a reversible heart arrhythmia. But they just sit there and don't do CPR or attach an AED.. but, hey, they showed up! The heroes of the day!
So, on that note, a service member can show up and go through the motions and sit there with his rifle being dead weight and be considered a hero?
Now, are there reasons they don't go in... maybe.. maybe some darned good reasons. They can't be looked down upon for making decisions regarding their own safety or the safety of their partners but blanketly calling them heroes?
Ehhhh... then what does it mean when you actually DO something? Nothing?
Heroism (again, to me and my dictionary) requires action. It requires courage, outstanding acts, something more than just being at the right (or wrong) place at the right (or wrong) time.

I gather my response will most likely be not well accepted but here it is.
As a veteran I do not agree with his statement very much. However as a veteran he has that right due to the Constitution and from all the veterans that served and from those that are no longer with us. He expressed his opinion and that is all it was. Isn't bashing him and calling him names a direct contradiction to the the 1st amendment. (I know the posts will come to say the 1st amendment gives us the right to bash). No one has to like/agree with what he said but shouldn't we be the ones to let him/others say their peace, defend it and move on. I do not condone someone burning the American flag but I defend their right to do so. That means "biting my tongue" if I happen upon it.
As to defining a "hero/heroine" I think it really is more a personal thing within each of us. Some people give hero/heroine status rather loosely such as sports figures, movie stars, politicians, etc. Referencing 9/11 there are those that say the responders were not heroes/heroines since they were doing the job they were paid to do. Strange thing is most heroes/heroines will always say I am not a hero/heroine. Personally my fellow fallen veterans are all heroes/heroines in my book. In fact anyone that has/is served are heroes/heroines.
"One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation."
--Thomas B. Reed, American Attorney
Second Amendment -- Established December 15, 1791 and slowly eroded ever since What happened to "..... shall not be infringed."
It is willingly accepting the shared risk, rather than sitting on the sidelines proclaiming what others should be doing. Or running from risk while criticizing those who go towards it.
I hope this helps clarify my post.

That's a crying shame.
Although technically the military isn't always fighting for our freedom, sometimes they are just doing the dirty work for our president. We are already free
But nevertheless, our military men serving ARE heros!
*swyped from the evo so excuse any typos*
It's better to prevent a crime, than to punish it.
And I can understand where you're coming from.
Like I said before, it all comes down to the personal definition of the word "hero" and how each chooses to apply it.
The examples you give.. that "willingly accepting the shared risk" I would call honorable but, to me.. personally.. hero still invokes a little more.
But that's just me.

Sorry, and yeah I'm getting heated, but I came home and some buddies didn't. PERIOD. They gave their LIVES in service to their country and asked for nothing in return, not even a little freaking gratitude.
He can say what he says in front of a TV camera because of the now less than ONE PERCENT of us who strapped on a pair of boots and stood in harm's way at some point in our lives. I'd like to see this jerk-face come to any VFW post on Memorial Day and explain to us his "discomfort" with calling our fallen buddies "heroes."
Author of Above Reproach, the new thriller that unequivocally positions the Second Amendment and concealed carry as our nation's most effective system of homeland and personal security.
Maybe we should discuss further the other subject of what is a hero?
Is a person a hero simply because of the work they do?
A high school friend of mine has a son that graduated from college last year after doing a stint in the Marines. He decided to rejoin the Marines and is now serving in Afgoonistan. (two tours already in Iraq) He had other choices, but this is what the brave young man decided to do.
If these kind of actions are not "heroic", then perhaps I have lost touch with the world. Doing what has to be done without question is a hero. Period.
Give to them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them their deserts. Psalm 28:4

The rose revolution began in 1995.
German rose breeder Noack Rosen introduced the first flower carpet roses to the market, groundcover "wonder roses" bred to produce up to 2,000 flowers per season and marketed as drought-tolerant and carefree.
The pretty roses began popping out of formal gardens and private yards and into public landscapes. But these forgiving roses, planted to dress up drab places like gas stations, banks, supermarkets and even freeways, often go untended. They might look OK from a distance driving by, giving home gardeners the false impression that roses don't need to be pruned after all, says Curtis Short, a Santa Rosa licensed landscape contractor and aesthetic pruner. But they do, and January is the time.
"While the roses along Highway 101 may look great from a distance at freeway speeds," said Short, "they probably would appear quite uruly by our back door."
Pruning your roses, whatever they they may be, will not only produce tidier plants, but will stimulate new, stronger, better-flowering growth and eliminate the nasty old stuff that harbors pests and diseases, he said.
So put on a long-sleeved shirt and gloves and grab some sharp pruning shears and make a date with your roses. The Sonoma County Master Gardeners recommended doing it by Valentine's Day. If you prune later than that, you risk knocking off new shoots.
"I love people to get out there and tackle their roses rather than letting them go because they feel like it's too complicated to do," says Short. "All roses are very forgiving about pruning."
When pruning large rose bushes, your objective is to take out old, weak and sick canes. Cut them cleanly at the base, then shorten the remaining stems by removing at least the top third of the plant, says Short.
"You might want to leave more if you have a floribunda or old rose variety," he said. "But with vigorously growing hybrid teas (the most common bush roses), you can cut the height down by half or more."
Make a clean cut above a node, a spot on the stem from which leaves and secondary stems grow. Don't worry about finding a bud there. If you see a dot or dimple with a thin, eyebrow-like line trailing out on either side, you have a node. Cut about one-fourth-inch above that, says Short, and whenever possible, choose nodes that will send shoots away from the center of the plant to achieve the best shape and growth.
Pull off and dispose of all the remaining leaves after pruning to keep fungus from infecting new growth, adds short, who has a degree in plant science from U.C. Davis with an emphasis in plant pathology.
You'll also want to tackle your low-spreading, ground-cover roses. If you don't, they'll mound into a nasty thicket, so try thinning them into spider-like stems every year.
Climbing roses should be similarly thinned out every year, leaving only the best and healthiest rose-bearing stems.
"A climbing rose that isn't thinned out annually can turn into a mountain of thorny stems," says Short, adding that in some cases, the weight will even break the arbor or trellis.
His trick is to completely remove a climbing rose from its support structure, removing the ties and untwining the stems. Lay it out on the ground so you can see what you have and pick up and work on it, one cane at a time. Prune out old canes so that as few as three to five remain.
"Before tying these canes back in place, I slightly cut back the tips of each one and I completely de-leaf each one in turn before tying each stem back onto the fence, trellis or arbor," says Short. "Depending on the situation, I might pull a climbing rose down completely ever winter, or I might do it once every two or three years."
To ease future removal, be sure the stems do not become woven behind or around it when putting your climber back onto its structure.
"You always want to tie your climbing roses to the face of your structure. Or if training them on an overhead structure, you want them to go up and over. Otherwise it can be a nightmare for some people. For me, it's one of those macho thrills in gardening, to wrestle with the thorny beast," he said with a laugh.
If you have tree roses, Short recommends cutting back the stems substantially each year. Otherwise they will develop a massive or unbalanced top that is too large for the trunk to bear. Try to develop evenly spaced canes, he says, that spread out like the spokes of a wheel.

Nissan Murano Models and Murano History
In 2003, Nissan unveiled what would ultimately become a best-selling model, the Murano SUV, which lauded a punchy V6 engine and a trademark style. In the 2004 Murano, a 10-way powered driver seat was added, and all models featured satellite-ready radio. The 2005 model got a new rollover sensor for the side impact airbags, and some shuffling to various optional packages took place.

Following a one-year pause, the Murano returned in 2009 as an all-new model with a complete redesign. 2010 saw the addition of remote entry/start as a standard feature across all models, with some tweaks made to certain optional packages. A style upgrade and a new two-door model were offered in 2011. The Murano would coast through 2012 relatively unchanged, with a collision warning and mitigation system being added as a standard feature in 2013.

Bill to Pre-Register Young California Voters Considered
16-Year-Olds Could Pre-Register When Getting Driver's License
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Senate approved a bill Wednesday that would lower the voting pre-registration age in California to 16. The bill (SB113) was approved 24-8 and now goes to the State Assembly.
The bill would not lower the actual voting age of 18, but would allow teens as young as 16 to sign up and be ready to vote when they reach that age two years later. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson from Santa Barbara introduced the bill.
Sen. Jacskon said lowering the age to the time when teens typically get a driver's license or permit would make it easier for them to register and become lifelong voters.
In California, almost one-quarter of those eligible to voter are not registered. Only half of younger Californians old enough to vote are registered.
Sen. Jackson said a study of similar laws in Florida and Hawaii demonstrates that pre-registration encourages young people to vote once they are eligible and makes it more likely they will become lifelong voters.
Republican Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine says the legislation could create headaches for local election officials who would have to track teen registration records and lead to disappoint if teenagers change addresses and don't realize they must re-register.
CORRRECTION: A prior version of this story said the pre-registration age was 15. The correct age would be 16.

James Haskell's southern experience is coming to an end and he admits the mind is willing but the body is telling him it is time for a break.
English loose forward Haskell arrived as the first Highlanders overseas player, and says Dunedin has left quite an impression on him.
"In the emotional sense I do not want it to end. But in terms of physically, and my body, I need a holiday. I obviously want to do the team justice and carry on. But my body is starting to creak a bit and I need to rest."
Haskell is always last to leave the training paddock, and he admitted a two year continous spell of rugby was starting to chip away at his body.
"I am looking forward to the challenge of playing the Reds this weekend and going as long as possible. But I will be ready to hang up my boots sharpish."
He was looking at Las Vegas or Miami as a holiday spot or somewhere in Europe to chill out.
It has been an eye-opening few months for Haskell, who has liked what he saw from rugby in New Zealand.
"The Super 15 is a fantastic tournament. Rugby in New Zealand is not jaded by commercialism like in the UK. You have small squads so you get to know everyone. It is not amateur. It is professional, but it is a very small professional thing, certainly in Dunedin. Everything that is good about rugby has been kept. You get to have a beer with the opposition after the game. I see why people want to keep playing."
He said squads were much larger in the United Kingdom, and there was a lot more work around sponsorship and commercial endeavours.
Media in New Zealand were also more focused on events on the field than off it.
"There is a bit more of a game interest. If you play well they'll say you played well, If you played badly, they'll say you've played badly. They do not start going on about your personality and that."
On the pitch Haskell said it was an attacking, flowing game in the Super 15.
The good fields and the weather undoubtedly helped the game in the southern hemisphere, and Haskell was a huge fan of Dunedin's new roofed stadium.
"In England we never want to play 10-man rugby and stick the ball up your jumper but weather-wise conditions make it like that. Over here you have got better pitches and better weather.
"This [Forsyth Barr Stadium] is the best stadium I have ever played in. It has revolutionised the way you can play in a roofed stadium... if I never had to play outside again I would be happy.
"Dunedin has got its own weather system. It is pouring with rain outside and you come in and it is a hard, fast track, under spotlights with a great crowd. I don't know how anyone could complain about this stadium. If we had one of these in the UK we'd be laughing."
Haskell would be heading back to the Wasps club, which appear to have staved off financial problems, but he did not rule out a return south.
"If I am not in the England frame, and not enjoying it, I'm going to call Jamie Joseph up, if he is still here, and see if I can come back.
"I would love to come back, for any part of any season. I have loved it here. Made some great friends. A lot of these guys have been really great friends and I will keep in touch for a long time."

Where I stayed
So the same weekend I went to the zoo I was also taken by a friend to a place called "Myrtles Plantation". Type this into you tube or google and have a little read it is labelled as the most haunted place in America. Reason is this place has the most paranormal activity on visits. People have been there and experienced some crazy things.
The plantation was a cotton plantation where a rich family would stay in the main big house and the slaves/workers would stay in the out houses of the plantation and they would work picking cotton for peanuts
We headed to "Myrtles Plantation", I was going with a girl called Kiersten who is a great girl who I met through my friend Chip. We got there and you could straight away feel the weirdness it's a very old place and has an eery feeling about it. We headed fo what now is the gift shop and enquired about doing the guided tour which was meant to be quite an experience. The lady behind the counter informed us that it was fully booked, "shit" so I begged at the minimum level and she let us get on the tour as there was only two of us.
There were about 40/50 people on this tour. We found out that you could stay over night at this plantation in the rooms that the family used to live in, but there was a 3 month waiting list as freaky stuff does happn in these rooms. About 10 people on the tour were staying at the plantation and were pointed out to us by the tour guide as mad. The tour guide started off by telling us that there was no photo's aloud of the tour, at this point I took a photo of him thinking my flash was off but it wasn't (so busted) see pictures. But there would be one point we could take pictures and he would let us know when.
Once in the house the tour guide started by saying "One of you will get touched by a spirit" he then pointed to the door and said "this door is not locked you can leave at any point but you can't come back in and there are no refunds". Before this point I was quite happy but I was more than a wee bit scared. The tour started in one of the downstairs bedrooms. We would tour the whole of the downstairs only people who were staying would be able to go upstairs. We got to see what they call "the haunted mirror" original name I know. This mirror get's cleaned once every 3 months and every time after it's clean things start apearing on it, touch marks and drip marks it is a freaky mirror. On you tube there is a video where a spirit is seen in it. Again see pictures for the mirror.
The tour as was on a whole uneventful as far as spirits touching me is concerned. We did have a moment where the lights flashed and there was a weird noise for a moment but I wasn't sure if my head was playing tricks on me. After a few other people said they heard the same thing and the tour guide did announce the flash of the lights to be a spirit. It was a great great experience and everyone on the tour was satisfied with the experience. I would love to go back and stay but I really don't think I could stay there all night. We ended the night with a chat about the tour over a few beers.
It was a good night and I will be going back again. Hello to all who read this and I miss you all.


text: HARRISBURG – Legislation that would exempt the operators of certain farm vehicles from holding a commercial driver's license was unanimously approved by the PA House. House Bill 2092 would amend the Vehicle Code to exempt a driver with a Class C license from holding a CDL when operating a covered farm vehicle, which is used exclusively to transport agricultural products, livestock, farm machinery or farm supplies to or from a farm. The farm vehicle may be operated anywhere within the Commonwealth. A licensed driver operating a farm vehicle from another state would also be exempt from the CDL requirement when the vehicle is operated within 172.6 miles of the out-of-state farm. The measure will now be considered by the state Senate.
