It is hard to imagine the pressure on the Brazil team
I had always presumed they were under a lot of expectation to win regardless of where the World Cup was played. But seeing the crowds here gathering to watch games in parks and on beaches brought home just how much pressure these boys play under.
IAN HERBERT - Football correspondent
Fireworks in Sao Paulo
They exploded across the Sao Paulo night sky after Brazil's equaliser in the tournament's opening match against Croatia. There is a fragility about the Brazilian optimism, because deep down in the nation's psyche resides an unmistakeable inferiority complex that makes the nation special. While it lasted, Brazil's belief was beautiful to behold.
World Cup 2014: 20 things we learned
World Cup 2014: 20 things we learned
1/20 Red faced
Vincent Tan, owner of relegated Cardiff City, is proved wrong again: red shirts do not increase the chances of success. Red was the most popular first-choice shirt colour in the tournament. Nine teams picked it, yet five, including big guns Spain and Portugal, failed to get out of their groups. Two more fell in the second round, and the furthest any crimson campaigners got was the quarter-finals – Ivory Coast and Belgium.
2/20 Don't get carried away
Not for the first time at a World Cup, the number of goals (added to by Netherlands' 5-1 thrashing of Spain) in the first round sparked talk of a new record. But the group stages are no guide for the latter rounds, and the goal rush dried up once the sudden-death reality of the knockouts took hold.

3/20 Letter of advice
To succeed in these finals you needed your nation's name to start with a letter in the first half of the alphabet, Algeria (pictured) being the most surprising. Of the 32 nations, only nine started with a letter in the latter half of the alphabet. Of those, five got through to the second round, but out of eight quarter-finalists only Netherlands represented N-Z.

4/20 Well done Jose
For Jose Mourinho to get £50 million from PSG for David Luiz looks great business. The Chelsea manager's chief concern was always the Brazilian centre-half's defensive ability, and the semi-final against Germany, when he effectively abandoned his post, graphically proved Mourinho's point.

5/20 Spain lacked energy
Spain's feeble performance, especially against the Netherlands, proved that at the top level age isn't as important as freshness. Many of their players are in their prime and playing for top clubs. And it was not exactly an old team. But success can sap a player's energy as much as age.
6/20 Europe can win away
The fact that this World Cup was only a Javier Mascherano tackle and a penalty shoot-out away from being a third successive all-European final shows the old belief that only South American teams win on that continent needs updating. It wasn't the climate that prevented the Netherland's best player, Arjen Robben, scoring a late winner against Argentina.
Getty Images
7/20 Hair cuts both ways
The jury is out on whether changing your hairstyle aids success. Ronaldo's zig-zag didn't help him or Portugal, while Neymar's blond tint presaged his injury and Brazil's 1-7 thrashing. But Argentina defender Martin Demichelis has been reborn as a player since he lost his ponytail. The newly shorn Marouane Fellaini must be hoping for the same at Old Trafford.
Getty Images
8/20 Messy not Messi
The "vanishing foam" may have kept defensive walls back 10 yards at free-kicks, but it did nothing to help the free-kick taker strike the ball cleanly. The ball had to be kicked through the ring of foam circling the ball, splattering it everywhere.
9/20 Money talks in Africa
Nigeria's Stephen Keshi (above right) became the continent's first manager to reach the second round, where there were two African teams for the first time. It should have been a landmark tournament; instead three federations got involved in financial disputes as the old problems resurfaced.
10/20 A star is born
Given the media globalisation of the club game, it seemed rather old-fashioned to imagine a hitherto unregarded player making himself properly known at a tournament. But in this World Cup James Rodriguez (right) of Colombia has gone from the fringes of the elite to worldwide superstar.
11/20 Referees became softies
Allegedly on Fifa orders, so many fouls went unpunished by a book- ing for the perpetrator. The statistics also suggest leniency: 10 red cards (above) is fewer than any finals since 1986.
Getty Images
12/20 Fifa's timely earner
The game's governing body may be a "non-profit organisation", but they are still very good at earning. That could be seen every time the sponsored watch-shaped stoppage-time board (above) was held up by the fourth official.
13/20 Corners are key
Set-pieces are supposedly the weapon of choice for weaker teams, but much of Germany's potency derives from them. For all the squad's talent, the key opening goals in both their quarter-final and semi-final were from corners.
14/20 Rotation is crucial
The three best-performing semi-finalists all shared one trait: they changed either formation or line-up in every match, making them very difficult to work out. It was a factor in why Argentina-Netherlands was so tense, and one explanation why Brazil fell apart. Without Neymar and Thiago Silva, they could not adapt.
15/20 Club and country
A club season is no guide to World Cup form. Steven Gerrard was immense for Liverpool, anonymous for England. On the other side of things, there is Sergio Romero . The goalkeeper only made three appearances for Monaco last season but has been one of Argentina's stars.
Getty Images
16/20 Asia still minor
So much for the breakthrough of Asian football. All four teams finished bottom of their groups, without a win between them. It was so bleak that the South Korean Football Association even offered a collective bow of apology.
17/20 Oh lucky man
The records show that England had the seventh worst campaign of the 32 teams. Unlike those who outperformed him, such as Greece's Fernando Santos and even Japan's Alberto Zacceroni, Roy Hodgson has stayed in employment.
18/20 Shoot-out kings
Argentina 1990 remain the only side to have won two shoot-outs in the same World Cup. So it was perhaps fitting that it was Alex Sabella's side who prevented the Dutch team from emulating them (above). Argentina never looked like losing from the moment of the first penalty.
19/20 Tweet tweet
The second semi-final offered a first, as Argentina tweeted their list of penalty takers. It almost felt like they were calling Louis van Gaal's bluff. It's hard to say whether it was a factor, but it did reflect how this World Cup has been dominated by social media.
20/20 No new balls please
Complaints about the ball have always been one of the tournament's clichés, but not this time, with a complete absence of discussion about it. The ball is doing exactly what it is meant to, meaning attackers are more comfortable with it.
GLENN MOORE - Football editor
Pele, Cruyff, Kempes, Tardelli, Maradona, Schillaci, Letchkov, Owen and Beckham, Ronaldo, Zidane, Iniesta. Who follows? No individual shone brightly enough, but what will stick in the memory is Germany slicing through Brazil's defence in Belo Horizonte again and again and again.
JACK PITT-BROOKE - Football writer
It can only be the remarkable story of Brazil, of the early hope and the hubris, and the unprecedented 7-1 dissection by Germany in the semi-finals. The passion and fervour was too much for the players, who were unable to play with their heads when they needed to the most.
TIM RICH - Football writer
They paid £11 billion for the tournament, Fortaleza never got its metro, nor Manaus its monorail but their warmth, their welcome and their unfettered joy – nobody else would have olé'd the Germans when their team was 7-0 down – are a greater testament to the host nation's spirit than any trophy.
SIMON HART - Football writer
Goalfests and goalkeeping feats on the pitch, and off it: 1) the gracious, measured response of Costa Rica's players to their quarter-final shoot-out defeat, which was a lesson in how to lose; and 2) the chatty Salvador taxi drivers with their insights into the very unequal world beyond the World Cup bubble.
MIGUEL DELANEY - Football writer
The six minutes of the Belo Horizonte semi-final
Spain's drastic decline will probably be more important in football history, but there's no accounting for the emotional impact of a genuine event like Brazil's thrashing. Given the stakes, given the context, given the history, it may be the most stunning match ever.Reuse content

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with the fandom, I'm merely playing.
A/N: This was written for the Rononlove community on lj using the prompts Ronon/John and background. Also warning as this starts with a suicide attempt and is slash. If that thought of two guys starting a relationship together bothers you please don't read this. Also this is S2 fic, though I've taken a bit of conversation from "Sunday".
There's a Satedan funeral song on his lips the first time he sees her. It takes a moment for Ronon's gaze to focus on her, to take in the pale brown eyes staring down at him in sympathy. It's the dark curls that allow him to place her and he finds himself hoping she's a hallucination and not a ghost.
It's been seven years, at least that's as close to an estimate as he has. He could be wrong. At times the days, weeks, maybe even months all blend together into the constant horrible push to never stop running that his life has become.
She hasn't aged, she's still seven. Does this confirm hallucination or ghost? Can ghosts age? He tries to imagine her older, the first budding of adolescence on a taller frame, but he can't quite manage it. She's seven and that's not going to change.
She frowns at him, "That isn't a warrior's song."
He parts painfully chapped lips and focuses on the stars above him. He finds himself wondering if he can see Sateda's sun from here, if he'll have laid unknowing eyes on it one last time. He shudders in a breath. The grounds cool underneath his back. He closes his eyes, determined to wait.
"I said that's not a warrior's song."
"Ana," he breathes out her name. He's so very tired. His words barely seem to have any force behind them, "I'm waiting for death. I don't deserve a warrior's song."
He opens his eyes and focuses on this memory of a neighbor from a home he hasn't seen in seven years, of a life he once had. She tilts her head, concern wrinkling her brow. The Wraith will come, this is the only certainty in his life. All he has to do is wait. He's waiting for death.
"You're a warrior," she tells him.
"I'm tired."
"As long as you live a memory of Sateda lives on," she tries.
"What good is a memory if you have no one to share it with? I'm tired, go away."
What is he beyond a shadow of the man he used to be? He's been stripped down to his bare essentials, only taking with him anything that might help him survive. If his path does happen to cross with anyone else's he only brings destruction in his wake.
He might as well be a poltergeist.
He focuses on his ghost, his hallucination, the evidence that he's gone mad, "Lie to me and say Sateda survived."
Her lips press together. Sateda survived, he tells himself, as he turns his focus back to the stars. Sateda survived.
Her voice is sweet, a childish alto, as she begins the warrior's song he's been denying himself. This forces him to sit up and glare at her, "Stop that."
"Shouldn't one have the proper song in death?"
"I should have a coward's song." He's waiting. He's given up. He's so very tired and in need of the stillness that death will bring.
She begins her song again. With a growl of frustration he launches himself at her. She disappears.
Today isn't his day to die.
Two dead Wraith and five worlds later he sees her again. She appears across the fire he's allowed himself. She smiles at him. He frowns and concentrates on the food he's cooking.
When she starts humming the warrior's song he glares and tells her, "If I'm having a hallucination why aren't you Melena?"
She tilts her head, regards him silently for a moment before pointing out, "You know she's dead, you don't know about me."
He's no longer hungry, but he eats his food remembering her and her mother and how he and Melena would always share one meal a week with them. The days had varied, all their lives were busy, but they'd been good neighbors.
"Have you?" he finally asks.
She shrugs with a childish grin, "If I'm a hallucination how would I know?"
"Did I hit my head?" his voice sounds gruff, even to him.
"Probably at some point. You've been alone for so long, isn't it good to have someone to talk to?"
He doesn't allow himself to relax, but they talk, share his memories of Sateda and he's almost able to convince himself that someday he'll be able to go home.
She's gone come morning, but then so is he.
Six worlds later he's cornered, but the man standing in front of him shoots the Wraith. He captures two of the people who follow. Ana appears as he's going through their packs, scavenging for food. This is what he's become, the Wraith have reduced him to a thief.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asks disdain in her tone.
"And what about them? Are you so heartless that you'll leave them for the Wraith?"
He glances at her and then their unconscious forms. It wouldn't be the first time he's brought the Wraith down on the unsuspecting. He doesn't answer and drops the packets in his hand back into the pack he'd pulled them from. He starts looking over the weapons instead.
When he tries to leave, determined to escape this world and the Wraith that will be here soon, she blocks his path.
"Maybe they can help you." There isn't enough hope left for that to be true, but he waits.
His rank feels good on his lips, but he still wants to edge away from them and their people. Ana is insisting he trust them and it takes everything inside of him not to scream or swat at her. He can't let them see he's gone mad.
After talking with them and ending their escape he finds himself wanting to trust so he makes his deal to get their friend back. Ana plays with rocks while he waits with Teyla. She dances around Beckett when he shows up, a carefree happy smile on her face. A look only a child can have, even if that child is an illusion.
It's Ana's voice that prods him to consciousness, telling him their backs are turned and he can slip away. He allows himself a momentary annoyance at himself for passing out before he begins to track their friend.
He doesn't see Ana again until after they've shown him the images of what's become of Sateda. She's sitting on his bed, eyes large and sad for him. He glances at his guard and doesn't say anything, just sits on the bed beside her, feeling as tired as the first time he'd seen her. He wants to leave, wander, spread out and see if he can find his people among the stars.
"I never lied to you," she starts.
He also wants to destroy the Wraith.
"You should stay here," she continues as she wanders over to the window. Exhausted he lies down and contemplates leaving. The n she points out that they're in the City of the Ancestors. There's an excited bounce to her as she skips around the room, dancing around the guards as she chatters on about how all the technology here might mean the destruction of the Wraith, that if there is any chance of defeating them it will be found here.
He stays.
It's Ana who calms him when he learns they were the ones who woke the Wraith.
He does his best to keep them all at a distance, but he finds himself wanting to impress Sheppard when the testing starts. He wants to be a part of a team again. There's also another need, just under his skin, to keep moving. He tries to tell himself that stillness no longer means death, staying in one place no longer means the Wraith will come.
He works out a routine that quiets the edging towards panic he can feel building every time he's realize how many days, turning into weeks, he's been on Atlantis. He teaches, he spars, he runs and he lets several of the cooks take turns trying to 'fatten him up'. He finds he wants to follow Sheppard's orders. He learns to let McKay's brashness roll off him and if it becomes particularly annoying he imagines the tactless doctor upside down in an orange jumpsuit asking for help. He and Teyla eventually reach an equilibrium after he kills Kell.
Thirty three hundred of his people survived, but not Ana, not her mother. His only consolation is that he'd already known Melena was dead and that his parents had died long before the culling.
"So what are you, a ghost?" he asks her the next time she appears.
She's staring at the sunset, doesn't even turn to look at him, "If you died would they know how to give you a proper funeral?"
He squats down so that they're the same height, "What are you?"
"Maybe I'm a hallucination. Maybe I'm a ghost. Maybe I'm a manifestation of the part of you that doesn't want to die incorrectly. Maybe I'm just here to point out the things you want, but are too stubborn to admit even to yourself. Maybe I'm something else entirely," she tells him before disappearing.
He finds it surprising how well he's fitting in, becoming a part of this community. They're going to become his people, Ana has told him so.
He and Sheppard start spending time together after Sheppard has a falling out with McKay. There'd been an experiment that went wrong, Ronon wasn't too sure about the details as he hadn't even been on Atlantis at the time. Sheppard eventually becomes John and John joins him on his runs. He's still Sheppard when they're offworld. The more time he spends with John, the harder it becomes to push aside thoughts of wanting more than friendship.
They're on a run the first time John asks him, "So you dating yet?"
"You mean like a woman?"
John laughs, "Or a man."
He has to quell the urge to push John against the nearest wall and kiss him. Instead he picks up the pace of their jog and answers, "No one."
To start a relationship with someone, to allow himself that, means that he really has stilled and he hasn't reached a point where that doesn't bring thoughts of his inevitable death.
Ana shows up while they're still running and it's very obvious she's not real for she keeps pace running backwards in front of him as she says, "That was stupid. Tell him and then make sure they know how to bury you properly."
She disappears and he redoubles the pace. John's leaning over his legs trying to catch his breath when he starts a cool down run. He avoids John the next day and gets called out on it, but he reveals nothing.
The second time he answers the same, but doesn't pick up the pace and doesn't avoid John.
He learns about T.V. and he doesn't quite understand the appeal, but he likes the way watching it makes John light up. He prefers the guitar lessons he's getting, learning how to read music and the hands on approach John takes doesn't hurt.
Eventually the panic is no longer there. He hasn't seen Ana in over a month.
Then he learns about Beckett's idea that the Wraith can be turned into humans. It makes his skin crawl. He's not sure how to take what Ellia did to John, but the panic's back. He has to avoid John, he can't take the thought that someone he could feel for would become a version of the Iratus bug, of the Wraith. Ana angrily tells him he should remind John of their friendship, but he ignores her. The offworld mission is just the distraction he needs.
He waits till John's been released before he approaches him. He stands in the doorway feeling awkward, "Hi."
John gives him a tired smile, "Hi."
He stares at his feet a moment, not sure what to say, except that he knows now that he has to learn to be still or he's not living the life that they've given back to him.
"You coming in?" John asks as he frowns at his computer.
"What're you doing?" he asks as he steps inside.
"Trying to decide if I like any of these changes Caldwell instituted."
He finds a place to sit, "Beckett's wrong."
John turns to look at him, "About?"
"You can't turn the Wraith into humans, they aren't human."
"He can try."
"He's being naïve. It's a bad idea."
"And you're approaching me first because of what happened to me?" John asks with arched eyebrows.
"No, to give you this," he holds out the sheets of paper.
John eyes them with a frown, "That's not a resignation is it? Cause I'm back to being me, one hundred percent human."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"What? The you not visiting me?"
"Can't stand the Waith," he admits as John takes the papers from him.
"Yeah, I get that and its okay, you're here now," John gives him a brief smile and opens the paper, he frowns, "So what's this?"
"It's a Satedan funeral song, it's a warrior's song. If I die…"
"Okay," John tells him as he sets it on his desk, "I'll put it somewhere safer in a moment, it's just…oh man you should see some of these team roster ideas, they're just wrong."
Ronon finds himself smiling as he rises to his feet, "And I lied."
John looks up from his computer, "About?"
"I'm not dating someone, but I'd like to."
"Yeah who, maybe I can help…"
John blinks at him a moment and he's wondering if he's miscalculated. Then John grins, "Cool. I should probably stand up or something, huh?"
He gives John a bemused smile as he sets his computer on his desk and moves towards him, "So, I'm like cool with that, but I probably need to let you know that the military…"
"Already heard McKay bitch about it."
Not really interested in talking he kisses John, relishes in the way he responds, the way their arms wrap around each other. He only pulls away, pauses, when he sees a figure out of the corner of his eye.
Ana stands there with a pleased smile on her face, "I'm only here to say goodbye."
A light shines behind her, engulfs her, and she's gone. He knows it's the last time he'll see her.
"Ronon, was there a little girl standing in my room?"
A chill runs over him, "You could see her?"
None of them had seen her before.
"She was standing right there, said she was here to say goodbye and then disappeared."
He grins and shakes his head, "Then she was real."
"Yeah, she was right there."
"I thought she was an illusion."
"There's been an alien here and you didn't say anything?"
He steals a brief kiss because he can already tell that they'll be getting scientists involved and it'll be awhile before he gets another opportunity to do so. He's just starting to explain about the first time he saw her when John's earpiece clicks to life and the security team arrives to respond to the energy fluctuation in his room.
He never sees Ana again.

Tres días Acróstico extraño
-None of this will rhyme. I'll put up some lyrics about that soon. Oh, and sorry for putting the title in a different language. I'm in a Spanish mood tonight.
3 days have gone
Never a word
Never an appearance
3 days are over
Lettin' it get to me
Lettin' myself cry
3 days are too long
Go away! Darkness
Go back to the sky
3 days is painful
I can't stand this quiet
I can't keep this still
3 days makes me
Miss my home outside
Miss those who I love
3 days can't go on
You aren't there
You, silent and alone
3 days is too long for me, is it too long for you?

Thomas, who runs ABN's UK Growth and UK Select Opportunities funds, has worked at the firm for 16 years while Luckcraft, manager of UK Equity Income and High Income, has been on board for 22 years.
But most importantly, both hold the top position in their respective sectors over the past three years, according to Citywire Funds Insider, a fund ranking system.
Thomas, in particular, has built up a reputation as one of the City's most skilled stock pickers, with his UK Growth fund returning 64% over the past three years (an average annual return of 18%) while the FTSE All-Share has fallen 9%.
Many investors have been piling into the funds ahead of Friday's end-of-tax-year Isa deadline on the basis of the managers' sparkling track records. Many may now regret that decision.
'It's a huge blow for ABN,' said Jason Hollands of fund broker Bestinvest. 'Their whole UK business was based around these individuals. Nigel Thomas has spent virtually his whole career there. But then I suppose everyone has their price.'
The managers are tied into ABN Amro for another 12 months, although the company is expected to release them before that date. 'The only good news for investors in these funds is that they don't need to make a decision just yet,' said Ben Yearsley of adviser Hargreaves Lansdown. In the meantime, ABN Amro has pledged to throw the necessary resources behind finding suitable replacements. Hargreaves Lansdown and Besyinvest, however, have suspended the ABN funds from its buy list until the new recruits are unveiled.
Framlington will transform its Capital Trust fund into a new special situations fund for Thomas while Luckcraft will take over several of the existing income funds. Framlington is yet to reveal which ones.
Details of the offer used to lure the pair away from ABN have not been revealed but Framlington admits each will have a 'real stake in the business'.
Framlington wants its mainstream funds to match the reputation of its specialist funds, such as the strong performing Framlington Health fund.
'The addition of George and Nigel to the team takes us nearer to that goal,' said Mike Vogel, chief executive of Framlington.
Vogel, an old friend of both managers, held secret talks with the pair for three weeks before they handed in their resignations last Thursday. He says neither are the type to 'tout themselves about' and had approached no other fund management companies. 'They were simply interested in the changes we have underway here at Framlington,' he added.

Taking yo(ur)gurt love to a new level
Athens, Greece-based leading brands, Kayak ice-cream and Kayak Greek Frozen Yogurt are revolutionising the yogurt culture in Greece and many other international countries. In an exclusive tête-à-tête with Franchise India, Salome Stavridou, Marketing Director & Partner, Kayak talked about her thoughts on spreading out her biz in India and also her analysis on the frozen yogurt market globally.
Tell us more about your brands - Kayak ice-cream and Kayak Greek Frozen Yogurt.
We combine the finest fresh ingredients with the most innovative production methods and "home-made" philosophy. Fusing traditional recipes with culinary current trends, Kayak ice-cream and Kayak Greek Frozen Yogurt are distinguished for their special taste and quality.Kayak premium ice cream and Greek Frozen Yogurt is produced by Kayak, a leading Greek ice-cream manufacturer that was founded in 1996. We create recipes using the most natural ingredients, fresh milk, Greek strained yogurt, cream, fruit and real fine chocolate. Production takes place in our modernised facilities with certified production and controls but always loyal to its original values.
So, what is your franchise concept like?
After its long and successful presence in the ice-cream and Greek Frozen Yogurt market, Kayak is now providing the ideal franchise opportunities with reference to its support and high expertise. Our experience has taught us that what the customer needs is a unique product, professionalism, high quality of services, careful architecture of the stores and a direct and friendly approach. We want our franchisees to share our philosophy and our commitment to the successful operation of the franchise stores.
Your current presence globally.
We distribute our premium ice-cream and Greek frozen yogurt flavours in packages of 500 ml at upper class Greek supermarket chains and in our Kayak Boutique Stores. Our Kayak Boutiques are present in Germany, Glyfada, Attica, Myconos Island, Costa Navarino Resort Messinia and also at Athens International Airport, Attica. We have B2B distribution on UAE in selected super market chains, restaurants, high class hotels, patisseries and cafés.
Do you also plan to foray into the Indian market?
Yes, the Indian market has always been appealing to us. Greece stands in the midway between East and West, so we find many similarities with the Indian people. Our products appeal to those who care about their food as well as the nutritional values, the people who want to experiment and try different flavours and tastes. Flavours like lemongrass, mastic pink pepper, Greek frozen yogurt honey and sesame, Greek frozen yogurt bio quinoa, Greek frozen yogurt mango passion fruit and jasmine or even customised ones targeting to the specific preferences of the market are always within our plans.
How do you analyse and see the yogurt market across the world?
The Yogurt market and especially the Greek yogurt market is an upcoming market due to the multiple benefits of the product. Greek yogurt has two times the protein of a regular low fat yogurt, contains live and active cultures, contains less lactose than regular nonfat yogurt helpful for people who are lactose intolerant and also contains 15 per cent of daily value source of calcium that helps in the development and maintenance of healthy bones.
Many international brands are foraying into the Indian market; do you see any competition here?
Competition could be anything: juices, tea, beverages, sweets, refreshments. Kayak's proposal however is unique: using the best materials like pure natural Greek yogurt, fresh fruits, herbs and spices to come up with a product as close to nature as one could ever imagine and also offering ice cream and Greek frozen yogurt in flavours that could never come into one's mind and putting the culinary experience into a different level as a chef would prepare in the finest restaurant.

Stream of Thought - #65
Threaded together, clicking like diamonds and
Drowning in molten gold, all torn apart like
Paper dolls, imprisoned in prisms and spawning
Rainbows; let's just make it go away with jars of
Pills and televised thrills,
Is nothing real anymore?
Dead roses, snakes shedding their skins, peel off
The silver and there's black beneath it all.
I want to fall into your rivers of fantasy and live
Within your bleeding heart but I can't let me fall
Apart. Just curse and scream your dying desires
Spiral into a world of rods and cones.
Cliff edges, high dramatics, 'cause we need to leech
Adrenaline from the collapsing
Lungs of a world with no breathing space, your
Pick-axe ribs spear pieces of my soul and make me
Want to fall in this coffin of sticks and stones and
Broken bones.

Rosie: CampMature
Rosie noticed it was harder to breath out here, but it wasn't too difficult. After she helped the boy up, she realized that he knew nothing. She finally understood that he couldn't understand her. It that made it much more difficult for her.
But she pushed on. And they finally made it to the forest.
The trees were mostly dead, but they were enough to hide her and the boy for the night. Rosie took him all the way to the haert of the forest, where the trees were more dense. There, she set up camp. She had the boy sit on the ground and watch the fire, since he was clearly mesmorized by it.
When she had everything set up, she looked around for food. Luckily, there was a bush nearby that had blackberries. She picked to handfuls and handed one to the boy. They ate in silence, just as the rest of the trip had been.
When they were finished with dinner, the boy curled up on his bed. Rosie did the same.
They fell asleep to a pounding on the ground.

I don't really go for horror films.
So what type of men do you go for?
I think I'll go for the steak. What are you having?
His dog looked as if it was about to go for me.
We had a row and I really went for him.
We expect the house to go for about £200,000.
She's just gone for the kids – she'll be back any minute.
I'm going to go for a newspaper.
We expect you boys to behave yourselves, and the same goes for the girls.

I'd have hated for all that work to go for nothing.

The Solicitors' Indemnity Fund (SIF) is to become an insurance claims-handling provider in an effort to keep insurance rates down.
Legal & Professional Claims (LPC) will be launched in June as a specialist professional indemnity (PI) claims company owned by the Law Society.
The SIF, which was established to provide PI cover to all solicitors, was closed in 2000 with a surplus of £100m.
Half of that money was handed back to the Law Society and the remainder returned to firms.
The fund will be closed within five years after a small team finalises any outstanding claims against it.
The company will now be transformed into LPC to help ward off the impending PI rating correction that insurance experts predict will hit the profession within two years. LPC chief executive George Raubenheimer said: "The market is flat but that will change. Everybody needs to be alive to the fact that the professional indemnity market is turbulent – particularly in this economy. The Assigned Risk Pool (ARP) shows that rates are unsustainable."
He continued: "By helping to create more choice and making our services available to the market, any new entrant will have that economy of scale and can help keep rates down."
The move has drawn criticism from some firms acting as claims-handlers. One insurance lawyer said: "It's quite strange and wrong that our own representative body is competing against us – there are several firms already doing this work."
Insurance is the third biggest overhead for firms after staff costs and property. Rates are expected to rise by up to 25 per cent within two years.

Boo Earns His Keep and I Nearly Shoot That D*mn Dog
When I turned into the parking lot to put my old Ford to bed, I first had to relocate two drunks who had decided to make camp in my reserved spot. There were rather cantankerous as street winos can be but, in the end, they are usually quite harmless. But it worked out. They found a rather clean refrigerator box discarded by the Greek restaurant next door. The two old sots would have shelter for one more night, not much shelter, but still shelter.
The lobby of the Mallory Arms was rather busy that night, the men were gathering for a news conference by President Truman and the ladies were gathering for their weekly canasta night. I offered a few gestures of friendliness, but was rather restricted in my waves and handshakes by my overstuffed load of Chang's Chinese. It took a bit of juggling to get the elevator button pushed, almost lost a box of noodles but made a great save. When the elevator door opened, I was swept up by Gordie, our rather clumsy and a bit nosey building superintendent. Gordie was probably not the brightest bulb in the box, but he was diligent in his duties and when compared to most superintendents he was rather reasonable and responsive.
"Hey, Mr. MacKenzie. Sorry about your cat."
"What!" That probably was the one thing.that anyone could say that start me to fretting.
"I'm sorry, Your cat got out when I went in your apartment to check your heat. I looked everywhere but I still haven't found him. I put a saucer of milk by your door, hoping he might show up."
I was a bit relieved. Boo had more than once escaped to roam the building. He's really a rather crafty of fellow. And he's always come back, usually meowing at the door at about two in the morning. Boo's meowing gets Miss Sarah's dog to barking, then she calls me, and I open the door for His Highness to saunter in without even an explanation of where's he's been.
"Ah, don't worry, Gordie. Boo will be alright. He's probably out prowling for some action."
"Again, I'm sorry," Gordie was offering one last apology as the elevators closed between us. "...I was trying to be careful..."
As I left the elevator i came upon Miss Sarah, wearing her skin tight capri pants, her high heels, and a flowery blouse tied in a knot in such a way that her bountiful womanhood was accentuated all the more. She was pretty in a rather overly made-up kind of way. Rumors had it that she once danced with the Rockettes, but I sensed that was more a figment of an under-achieving life and an overactive imagination. She did have beautiful auburn hair that you could tell received extensive loving care. Yet it was her eyes that betrayed that this later had endured too many disappointments in her past and her future was not looking much better. And at the end of a pink-jeweled leash was Buttons, her mouthy pink-tinted, puffed and muffed toy poodle. I never could figure out how such a puny, mousy dog could have such a loud bark.
"Hey, Buttons." I tried being cordial. But Buttons just barked and then proceeded to chomp down on the cuff of my trousers and pull. I gave Miss Sarah a Cheshire grin that muttered through my teeth, "Lady, get this d*mn dog off me before I pull out my revolver and shoot 'em!" But no luck.
"I've got to go, Miss Sarah, supper's getting cold." And as I had her distracted I gave the little pain-in-the-rear a little kick in the chops.
I unlocked my door and noticed that the milk saucer was almost empty. And before I could get my hands clear and return to close the door, in dashes old Boo. And old Boo had gone and earned his keep, bringing home one dead mouse for dinner. But I knew that shrimp from Chang's trumps a dead mouse every time.

Billabong's lenders, including Australia's big four banks, are believed to have appointed restructuring experts McGrathNicol as the company tries to refinance its $341 million debt load.
Billabong on Tuesday confirmed that private equity bidders Sycamore Partners and rival Altamont Capital Partners have abandoned a full takeover offers for the Gold Coast-based retailer.
Billabong shares sank 50 per cent giving the once-iconic Australian company a market value of just $110.2 million compared with its peak of $3.8 billion in 2007.
Both suitors made indicative offers of $1.10 per share, which valued Billabong at $527 million.
Billabong is instead hopeful of pursuing a recapitalisation deal with one of two plans that have been put forward to chairman
Breathing space
Under a refinancing deal, sources said there would be debt secured over Billabong's remaining brands and a five-year loan to allow the company some breathing space.
This arrangement would completely replace its current lending syndicate.
Total debt at the half year stood at $341 million, including $55 million in deferred acquisition payments.
"The refinancing is intended to provide the company with a comprehensive solution and an appropriate capital structure, allowing it to continue its reform agenda," Mr Pollard said.
"It's our intention to conclude these discussions as soon as practically possible while aggressively reducing costs across all our global operations."
He added that there was no guarantee of a binding deal with either party.
Billabong shares resumed trading on Tuesday morning, following nearly four weeks of suspension, sinking by 50 per cent to 23¢ each. Billabong said on Tuesday that trade in Europe remains weak, while the Americas is slightly ahead of plan.
But sales in Australasia were below expectations, mostly because of its retail shop network, with comparable store sales down 5.4 per cent and gross profit down 2.3 per cent in the year to date, it said.
As a result of poor trading and higher start-up costs for online retailer SurfStitch in Europe, full-year underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation was cut to between $67 million and $74 million compared with guidance in February of $74 million and $81 million.
Company owned stores fatal
Billabong has slipped in the face of the global financial crisis, volatile foreign exchange rates, integration costs of acquisitions and a poor Australian retail market. The push into company owned stores at a time when earnings were heading south was fatal.
Billabong sold half of its Nixon watch brand last year to avoid breaching its banking covenants.
"Billabong's balance sheet was again in a fragile position," CBA Equities analyst Jordan Rogers said.
In additional to brand sales, Billabong plans to auction its under-performing Canadian action sports retail chain West49. The network of 70 stores will be sold, along with 18 Amnesia stores, six Billabong stores and two Element outlets.
It also may consider exiting SurfStitch in Europe, in which Billabong has 51 per cent interest. SurfStitch has proved to be a major drain, and believed to have lost about $8 million this year, double the $4 million loss expected.
"They will need to scale back Europe or shut it down," said one analyst.
The company has been dealing with takeover approaches since February last year. Chief executive
The company will also continue moving from regional to global structure. Billabong woman's brand will re-launch in coming weeks.
But some remained critical of Ms Inman and her turnaround plans.
"This is about confidence and you win support if you have a legitimate plan," said one source. "I think today's announcement throws up more questions than answers. When Launa Inman took over there was a market cap of $600 million and now its $100 million. I imagine
Mr Merchant founded the company, is a director and Billabong's biggest shareholder. He declined to comment when contacted by the Financial Review.

IT came from outer space . . . and left thousands of stunned Brits wondering
if ET had finally come to visit.
Startled onlookers the length of the nation flooded police and emergency
services with calls after watching this bright orange fireball streak across
the Saturday night sky.
Witnesses from northern Scotland to the South East coast feared the flash of
fire between 9.40 and 9.50pm was a burning plane or even a UFO.
But experts identified it as one of the most spectacular meteors to grace our
skies in 30 years — delighting dedicated stargazers.
And today a florist has come forward to claim she may have found it.
Joanne Pain, from Redcar, Cleveland, says she discovered the space rock
while taking her dog for a walk yesterday.
Despite sightings of the meteorite having taken place as far south as
Bradwell-On-Sea, Essex 270 miles away the 43-year-old
believes her discovery could be genuine.
She said: "We've looked it up on the internet and it looks like one.
"It's heavy and it has what looks like 'small white chondrules' described on
the internet.
"We've seen pictures of them where they've hit cars on the internet and done
quite a bit of damage."
Sun reader Pam Lewis, 42, from Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, watched the
fireball pass her house with daughter Chelsea, 15.
She said: "I was watching TV when Chelsea said, 'Mum, look at the sky'. I was
mesmerised — I'd never seen anything like it before.
"It was there for five to ten seconds and going straight across the sky over
the tops of the houses.
"I was a bit scared. It was like a Fireworks Night rocket, but so close that
it felt like you could touch it."
David Isaacson, 39, a technology entrepreneur from Manchester, was
having a cigarette when he saw it.
He said: "I thought I was seeing things. There was a big ball of fire coming
towards me — I didn't know what to do. My heart started thumping, but then
the thing disappeared over the back of my house."
Dozens of thrilled astronomers posted reports of the sighting on the website
of the American Meteor Society. Amateur stargazer Phil Randall, of Sutton-in-Ashfield,
Notts, said: "It was the longest and brightest fireball I've ever seen."
Ross Niven, of Monifieth, near Dundee, called it "spectacular".
Gary Fildes was hosting a seminar at the Kielder Observatory in Northumberland
when he and 40 guests got a 40-second view of the fireball.
He said: "It was phenomenal. Everyone went mental. I was getting questions
asking, 'What is it'? and, 'Is it going to end life on Earth'? It was
absolutely amazing."
Amateur photographer Mike Ridley snapped the meteor against the backdrop of a
laser display in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear. He said: "I caught the
white light and an orange glowing tail. It was spectacular."
Hannah Godwin, of Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex, said: "It was truly amazing."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated"
with calls.
Cops in the Grampian, Dumfries and Galloway and Lothian
and Borders areas also reported calls.
Author and astronomer Dr David Whitehouse said the object was the size of a
fist and was probably the debris of a planet which never properly formed.
He said: "It's probably come from somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. It may
have hit the ground. But until people work out its trajectory we won't know
By ALEX JAMES, Sun meteor fanatic
I'M sick as a parrot that I missed this — there's nothing like stuff just
falling out the sky to perk up a cold March night.
I've had to make do with watching the footage that has been uploaded to the
internet, but even that looks pretty spectacular.
This was a proper fireball with an edge of menace to it.
It certainly looks an awe-inspiring sight. And I love the fact that a lucky
group of amateur astronomers at Kielder were in the right place at the right
time to see it.
It's very rare for an astronomer to see a meteor like that. They'll remember
it the rest of their lives.
I'll be watching very carefully next month when the next meteor shower, the
Lyrids, is expected.
By SALLY MORGAN, TV Psychic
ANCIENT cultures considered meteors heaven-sent. I can see why.
Even to witness such a beautiful and powerful thing is very rare. So those who
saw it on Saturday are extremely lucky.
A meteor is a symbol of positivity — associated with good fortune. A lucky
And with the world in the state it is at the moment, we need all the
positivity we can get.
It's wonderful that people can be uplifted and moved even in these difficult
days. It's the sign we all need that something good is just around the
That makes a meteor a powerful thing. It has the ability to bring people into
a good place mentally.

Posted Mon 02 Jul 12 at 20:58 PM
Match report from the Cup win,
Debut goals from Jack King and Nicky Wroe put North End into round two of the Capital One Cup against Simon Grayson's Championship Huddersfield.
It was an impressive start to the season as North End came out all guns blazing against the 2012 League One Play-Off winners in front of a boisterous Deepdale crowd.
In a blistering first half display Jack King and Nicky Wroe opened the 2012/13 campaign in fine style as the new look North End tore into their newly promoted opponents.
It was King who opened his and PNE's account with a back post header from Jeffrey Monakana's deep cross just before the half hour mark, before Wroe added a second with five minutes to go in the half after fantastic forward play by Chris Beardsley, who controlled Keith Keane's quickly take throw in and held off two defenders before putting the ball on a plate for his team-mate.
Graham Westley had chosen ten debutants, the most in a PNE fixture since their very first league game in September 1888 against Burnley and they soon endeared themselves to the North End faithful and could have been ahead just 40 seconds in.
Chris Beardsley, starting in attack supported by King, did well to chest the ball down to John Mousinho. The new North End skipper hit a blistering left footed drive that Alex Smithies could only block. The ball came out to King but as he reached the ball just before Smithies he couldn't keep his snap shot on target and it went just wide of the right hand post.
The Lilywhites were getting the ball into the box from wide areas with every opportunity, Scott Laird firing a pacy ball across from the left in and Paul Dixon glancing a header inches wide of the post with King waiting to pounce.
The visitors took time to get into the game, but had a good chance of their own with ten minutes on the clock, Jimmy Spencer forcing a block from Shane Cansdell-Sherriff, the ricochet falling to Oscar Gobern, who couldn't find the target.
The deadlock was broken just before the half hour mark. Jeffrey Monakana, whose pace had looked a real threat, found room on the right hand flank to deliver deep to the back post where King rose highest to head back across goal and over Smithies into the net, much to the delight of the home crowd.
The atmosphere inside Deepdale was rocking as the fans recognised the effort and style of their new heroes and as half-time approached and the tempo continued to rise PNE grabbed a deserved second.
Whilst Nicky Wroe was the one to gain the plaudits with his first goal for the Club, firing home from close range, he owed a debt of gratitude to the brilliant work of Chris Beardsley. The No.20 received the ball from a quick throw in by Keith Keane and he held off the pressure of both Gerrard and Terriers captain Clarke, before turning and firing a low cross right into the path of Wroe, onrushing from midfield, who put the ball home from just inside the six yard box.
The noise in Deepdale was incredible as the team left the field at half-time. A break that saw Lee Holmes replaced by David Buchanan.
But is was Beardsley again who got the first meaningful shot away of the second half, after Jack King had sent the forward away down the left; he ran on, cut inside and shot left footed towards the bottom left hand corner, but the Yorkshire side's keeper was behind it.
Less than ten minutes into the half and it was inches away from being three after some more fabulous team football from the home side. After intricate passing down the left Scott Laird saw Jeffrey Monakana unmarked at the back post and threaded a ball right through five players to find the former Arsenal winger. Making his professional debut the 18-year-old drilled a low shot across goal, beating Smithies, but also beating the left hand post by a matter of millimetres.
Wroe looked keen to add to his first half goal with one from a bit further out and hit a blistering effort from 25 yards just past the hour mark. It beat Smithies, but came flashing back off the post, sadly the post holding up the net behind the goal though.
It took the visitors until the 67th minute to test Stuckmann in the second period. Oscar Gobern firing straight at the big German after good hold up play by Lee Novak in the edge of the box, which was quickly followed by a corner after Nicky Wroe had deflected Scott Arfield's long range effort over the bar.
John Welsh became the 12th debutant as he replaced Monakana with 20 minutes left and David Amoo made it 13 with just nine minutes left, Nicky Wroe leaving the field to a standing ovation and he almost made an immediate impact with a breath-taking and blistering run down the right and flashing the ball right across goal, inches wide.
The visitors threw on substitutes including Alan Lee but did not threaten North End who progressed through to the second round in style.

From Canada the gang travels back to New York for a show on Saturday, August 15th .at the BlueCross Arena in Rochester.
Today the Adam news is the announcement that his June 25th issue of Rolling Stone was the best selling RS of the year. No surprise there, right? The bad news is that there are no back copies available of that issue. I'm glad I got mine, but now I'm sorry I didn't pick up multiple copies when I had the chance. On August 6th Adam stopped by the RS offices in New York City to be honored for the accomplishment.
Random Adam thought for the day: people have commented and written that Adam seems to be having a big influence on the other Idols, not that this is anything new. I think even as Season 8 was in progress there were cases of both Adam advising/helping other contestants and cases of other Idols trying to imitate Adam's performance style. It all seems to be a positive thing, but today I really laughed when I read Michael's latest Tweets:
"What up Twitter world. It's a beautiful day today in Canada and I'm ready to sang."
LOL, we all remember Adam humbly proclaiming, "I can sang."
And this from Michael following his Twitter party:
"I understand if scorned is a joke just don't want anyone feeling left out u know."
"Also I don't like that word Scorned. So negative. I love u all I just can't get to everyone. I really try. Goodnight u guys!!!:):):):)"
Sound familiar? Or maybe it's just that they're BOTH really sweet guys!
If you're going to the Rochester show, please share your impressions of the show with us. Also, don't forget to share your photos. And keep those photos and videos coming! If you have photos and/or videos from either this concert or any of the past concerts, please email them to us! Our email address is email@example.com.

Dalohari (Jammu and Kashmir) (ANI), March 3 (ANI): A Kashmiri villager has caught a leopard that had allegedly strayed into their village in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Mohammed Yousuf Gujjar reportedly caught the stray leopard single-handedly on Tuesday (March 02) in Dalohari village here, as it tried to attack his goats.
"It came out of the forest and started off towards the house. Dogs started barking. There were two people with the dogs who tried to divert its attention. The leopard was caught off guard and I tied its hind legs with a rope," said Gujjar.
Last week the leopard had attacked three villagers.
With their natural habitat depleting sharply, leopards often find their way into villages on the edges of forests, where they are either captured or killed.
The endangered wildcat is killed by poachers and hunters for its valuable and beautiful spotted skin and also certain parts like the bones and nails used in Oriental medicines.
In 1997, India had an estimated 7,300 leopards in the wild but conservationists say the number is now likely to be much lower than this figure. (ANI)

One of the cohosts of OncePodcast.com and CleanComedyPodcast.com. Making technology, photography, and coffee all fit into my life simultaneously.
Here are some other places to find me on the web:
We've told you that on Sept. 27 a supermoon lunar eclipse will occur in the U.S. And much of the world, but what does that mean?
One important note, is that this event can be referred to in many different ways:
- Supermoon Lunar Eclipse
- Super Blood Moon
- Harvest Moon Eclipse
- Supermoon Eclipse
All slightly different names, but apply to the same spectacular event that will occur this weekend.
Since it's rare that both a supermoon and an lunar eclipse occur at the same time, let's break it down.
1) Supermoon
A supermoon is a full or new moon that falls closest to the fall equinox, and is at its closest approach to the Earth. This results in the moon appearing up to 14% larger in diameter.
2) Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow. This can give the moon a red tint.
3) A Supermoon Lunar Eclipse!
The combination of these two events does not happen very often. In fact, since 1900 a supermoon lunar eclipse has only happened 5 times! The last time this occurred was 1982, and if you miss the event this year, your next opportunity won't come until 2033.
This year, the event will be visible from the Americas, Europe and Africa on the night of Sept. 27. Here's a full schedule of the supermoon eclipse:
If it's cloudy in your area on Sept. 27, don't worry! NASA Television will be providing a live stream of the event, so you can tune in and enjoy the show.
For more information and resources on the supermoon lunar eclipse, visit our page on NASA.gov.

It's now super easy to add a "Share on Tumblr" button to any site.
Adding the basic Tumblr Button couldn't be simpler. Just cut and paste the code and you'll be off running. But the advanced options are where it gets interesting…
The Tumblr Button can give you complete control over how your content appears when shared on Tumblr. Not only does this mean specifying an excerpt or summary, but also deciding whether it appears as a Link, Quote, Photo, or Video Embed.
Even better: This can be deeply integrated with just about any publishing platform to add contextual buttons next to things like paragraphs or photos. Check out these examples.
The appearance of the button is also completely customizable.

Just minutes ago I received an email from Yahoo! telling me that Delicious has a new owner. Delicious will, apparently, continue in its current form only until "approximately" July of this year. Here's a portion of the email:
Dear Delicious User,
Yahoo! is excited to announce that Delicious has been acquired by the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. As creators of the largest online video platform, Hurley and Chen have firsthand expertise enabling millions of consumers to share their experiences with the world. Delicious will become part of their new Internet company, AVOS.
To continue using Delicious, you must agree to let Yahoo! transfer your bookmarks to AVOS. After a transition period and after your bookmarks are transferred, you will be subject to the AVOS terms of service and privacy policy.
This doesn't come as a huge surprise, given the rumor that Yahoo! was shutting Delicious down last December and the more recent rumor that the service had been sold to a competitor.
For more on Delicious's acquisition, check out Mashable's story: YouTube Founders Acquire Delicious From Yahoo.

Lean Into Me (by Thomas Hawk)
Thomas Hawk:
"Every so often you take a photograph that has personal impact on your life. This photo is one of those for me.
I took this photo on the Burnside Bridge in Portland. The Burnside Bridge is one of the areas of Portland where homeless people congregate. There are a few homeless shelters there and lots of homeless people hang out just underneath the bridge. I was up shooting the bridge at night and the "Made in Oregon" neon sign that can be seen from the bridge.
While I was shooting I was wearing headphones and listening to music on my iPhone. As I was walking across the bridge this man, this man, approached me saying something while I had my headphones on.
In a moment that I am very ashamed of I did not remove my headphones. Instead I said back to the man that I didn't have any money. I said this to the man without having heard what he was asking me. I could tell from his expression that he was annoyed by my response. At this point I took my headphones off to hear what he was saying.
What the man said to me was that he didn't want my money. That he was not asking me for money, that he was asking me if I would take his photograph. I was very embarrassed. First off, I didn't even have enough respect for another human being to take my headphones off and hear him out in the first place. And secondly I'd jumped to a conclusion that the man simply was trying to get me to give him money. I felt bad that I'd insulted this man. And I felt ashamed of the way I'd treated another human being.
After our interaction on the bridge I could not get my interaction with this man out of my head for the next few days. I was so ashamed at myself for jumping to the conclusion that I had and for not removing my headphones to speak with the man when he approached me. This beautiful man had approached me and wanted nothing more than to be photographed by a stranger. He was giving his image to me and I felt that I'd treated him so badly. I also felt bad that I didn't even try to get his name or an address or something afterwards to send him the photograph. I had been taken by surprise by the interaction and was flustered and had acted poorly and thoughtlessly.
This interaction made me decide to try and make a greater effort in the future to connect with strangers on a human level."
I'm guilty of this, too. It's too easy to let yourself become jaded. Here's to approaching the world around us with a new perspective.
