✒Sometimes the only way to make sense of things is with a list. And so last Friday, as the coroner prepared to deliver her verdicts on the victims of the 2005 terror attacks, Esther Addley came up with seven lessons from 7/7. Having followed the inquests from the beginning, she concluded:
1 The line between life and death is very thin, and very arbitrary.
2 7 July was a global atrocity.
3 Crises turn some people into heroes.
4 The bombers were ordinary, silly young men, as well as evil murderers.
5 Though many individuals were heroic, the response of the emergency services fell short.
6 We may never know how much MI5 knew before 7 July.
7 Inquests have their limits.
Over at theguardian.com/g2, cunningfox wanted to talk about photography. "It is difficult," Esther had written, "to explain the impulse that prompted a number of passengers [trapped underground] at Aldgate to pause to take photographs of the scene even as Dr Gerardine Quaghebeur was fighting to save lives. They may not now be able to explain it themselves."
Cunningfox thought he could. "Not a day goes by without one or other media organisation appealing for photos or descriptions of major incidents. Depending on your point of view, these people were either selflessly assisting the media or selfishly trying to get stuff on the telly or on a news website, such as your own. Your comment is disingenuous, if not actually hypocritical."
JackieBBrown was equally outraged, but her target was not the Guardian. "The people who took the photographs should be utterly ashamed of themselves. To not stop to help is completely understandable. To be afraid or panicked or shocked is just to be human, and none of us can say we would do better. But to film it is sick."
Was anyone familiar with the phrase "benefit of the doubt"? Jonana was. "I understand your distaste, but dictating how immensely shocked people should act in the aftermath of huge trauma is wrong, unhelpful and shows ignorance of the fact that for survivors of an incident such as 7/7, there is no one, correct way to act. Maybe some of them could not believe what they were seeing and wanted photographic evidence to make sense of it . . ."
✒ Come Monday, the focus was Shylock. "What's it like to play Shakespeare's most controversial character?" asked Maddy Costa. Patrick Stewart, starring in a new production of The Merchant of Venice, told her that "somehow, in the company of actors, you find yourself being treated as an outsider. But what keeps you coming back to him is that he has some of the most interesting, colourful and idiosyncratic language in Shakespeare. Nobody else speaks like Shylock. It sets him apart."
Would you say that "actors really are the biggest arses in the world"? Over at the website, themissing did just that. "They need to remember they are in fact only pretending," he or she explained.
IrishEuropean wasn't going to be hanging around stage doors with an autograph book either. "I never met an actor who was not wholly self-centred and insecure. Acting is their therapy and we, the audience, finance that. Except I stopped going. I found that the egos of the actors were getting between me and the play."
Would anyone stick up for the profession? Yes, and his name was Bardolphe. "These are very ordinary replies about the process of building character; they are not remotely pretentious. If anything, they have been hugely simplified, as though the speakers were explaining Shakespeare to little kids at a school."
"I think it's about time the Guardian shut down comments altogether," tweeted @abhinavvr. What, and put the Readers' Room janitor out of a job?
✒ Speaking of idiotic suggestions, on Tuesday Stuart Heritage wrote about the quiz show contestants who came a cropper on Channel 4's Million Pound Drop. Asked to identify Roger Bannister's claim to fame, they decided that he was not the first man to run a mile in under four minutes, but the first ever to put the toilet seat down. "Andrew and Vanessa shouldn't get downhearted," Stuart thought. "They've entered the immortal ranks of the all-time most stupid quiz show answers ever."
Many of you were keen to add to our list of know-nothings. Of the 330-plus contributions, we particularly enjoyed these three:
• From University Challenge
Jeremy Paxman: "The names 'Cheesemongers', 'Cherry Pickers', 'Bob's Own', the 'Emperor's Chambermaids' and the 'Immortals' are, or have been, used for which groups of men?"
Contestant: "Homosexuals?"
• From The Weakest Link
Presenter: "Which William was a 17th-century philosopher who discovered the true nature of circulation of blood around the body?"
Contestant: "Shatner."
• From Preston's Rock FM
Presenter: "Name a film starring Bob Hoskins that is also the name of a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci."
Contestant: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

✒ On Wednesday, Sophie Arie pondered the rise of the NGO package tour, which gives donors a chance to see where their money goes – and to reassess their own comfortable lives. When Water 1st took a group of well-heeled westerners around Addis Ababa, she reported, they had an "awesome" time. "The children were 'like sponges', said one mother, absorbing the reality of a world where children laugh and take care of each other despite having flies crawling on their faces and no shoes."
And afterwards? "The first thing Takayo Minakami did when she and her nine-year-old daughter Ghislaine got back from their trip to Ethiopia was sack the nanny. Then she told her husband there was no need to go for the fancy new wardrobe they had been eyeing up as part of a major overhaul of their Seattle home. 'It was supposed to be a life-changing experience,' Takayo said. 'But it was even better than we expected.'"
On the website, there was a flurry of cynicism. "I'm sure the nanny was happy to lose her job," said KraljicaNoci. Sofalofa painted NGO tourists as a bunch of poseurs: "Well, this summer we went to this really poor African village . . . dollops of pathos . . . another interesting dinner conversation round the Joneses . . ." On Twitter, Maroqui reckoned: "No matter how you twist it, it's still poverty tourism."
Oh no, it's not, said gipsyb. "I live in Cambodia, where so many tourists see the 4WDs and Lexuses driven by the elite and aid organisations, then find the idea of donating understandably repugnant. However, tourists often miss the many great organisations working on a shoestring in isolated rural areas or outside of the centre."
✒ After Ethiopia and Cambodia . . . Cumbria. On Thursday, with Carlisle bracing itself for the arrival of Lady Gaga, Grace Dent provided a guide to her home town. "We might not be buzzy Manhattan or trendy London," Grace admitted, "but there's still fun to be had in Carlisle. You like rocks? We've got rocks, Gaga. Oh yes, Tullie House Museum is open every day and boasts a plethora of Hadrian's Wall cobbles, as well as centurions' shoes and stuffed owls. If you like fine dining, well, the chiller aisle in Morrisons is the place to be at 7pm, when the manager gets out the reduced stickers . . ."
"LOVE THIS," applauded straightoutabrampton. "Grace, yer a reet radge bewer!" We ran that past Grace, and apparently she's a "proper crazy woman".
Stolencar had his own tip for Gaga. "She needs to get hersel doon to the Twisted Wheel if it's still oppen. Two pints of skemish for the price of yan before 10pm." The star's clearly in for the time of her life. "I hope she's not overawed," fretted Jolph. "I think the big question for Lady G is, 'After Carlisle, what?' It's all going to be downhill from now on."

text: Washington County leaders met Friday in Machias to discuss budget cuts. Washington County Commission Chair Chris Gardner says the shortfall will be at least a 6-hundred thousand dollars. Gardner says they've had a good run for the past five years, but a lot of things they need to invest in now are due all at once. He says it looks like the county tax will rise, but he doesn't know how much. He says they're looking at ways to cut staff. " Those are tremendous decisions we have to try and make because it affects people's lives. We pride ourselves on trying to run a pretty lean ship here and we have for some time but we've gotten to a point where we have to find a way to make cuts even more further."The commissioners are expected to meet again next month.

Not Happy Just bought this projector after reading all the rave reviews on different web site and Home Theather Mag. SO DISAPOINTED On sharpness and clarity my old Mits HC 5000 blew it away on my old dvds. They looked very good on the mits HC 5000 and very clear. The new Epson is grainy on the old dvds. Yes it is more bright and the colors pop, but all the reviews said it really shines on STANDARD 2D. Both look great on Blue Ray, what does'nt now days. But on standard dvd its is a step backwards for sure. Not sure if its because the HQV in the Mits was that much better. Again the Mits was RAZOR SHARP and this EPSON is clearly lacking in that department. Longing for my Mits HC 5000 back, but I sold it. Not Happy

The whispers around the Colorado Rockies clubhouse turned into stares, and the stares melted into unabashed fawning, and before he knew it, Matt Holliday was seated next to the object of everyone's attention to break down some film.
Holliday didn't expect much face time with Mark McGwire, let alone an object lesson. And yet a little more than a year ago, when the Rockies visited the Los Angeles Angels for an interleague series, McGwire came as a guest of his friend and former teammate, Rockies bench coach Mike Gallego, and offered a tip that made Holliday into an even more fearsome hitter.
Which took some doing, seeing as Holliday owned one of the National League's best bats before McGwire encouraged the pronounced leg kick that is now his swing's hallmark. At the time, Holliday, the Rockies' left fielder, had toyed with a handful of ways to keep him from lunging toward the plate for off-speed pitches. Keeping his weight on his back foot until the ball neared the strike zone always perplexed Holliday, and McGwire, who himself employed a leg kick, could tell.
"Man," McGwire said. "When you do that leg kick, you're loaded on your back side."
On the outside, Holliday nodded. His insides cartwheeled, ever aware that this was Mark McGwire, once the single-season home run champion and one of baseball's great sluggers, accusations, rumors and innuendos of performance-enhancing drug use aside.
"Shoot," Holliday said. "I figured if he liked it, maybe I should try it and stick with it. Because I had tried it for a couple games, got uncomfortable and then canned it. Finally, I decided to give it a shot."
Good move. In 160 games since that series, Holliday has hit .325 (eighth in baseball) with 85 extra-base hits (fifth), 122 RBIs (seventh) and a .569 slugging percentage (10th). He leads the National League this season with a .349 batting average and ranks third with 46 extra-base hits. And at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, most of it sinew, the 27-year-old Holliday is starting to remind some of the man who broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record.
"I see in Matt Holliday a lot of what I saw in Mark McGwire," Gallego said. "Forearms, for one. And the power, of course. People in here ask about the power that McGwire had, and we'll go into stadiums and I point out places he hit them. They look at me with a crooked look and say, 'Are you sure?' And then they see Matt hit them to almost the same spots."
Like the one against San Francisco last year. In the first inning, Giants pitcher Matt Cain hit Holliday with a pitch. Two innings later, Holliday smashed the longest home run of 2006, nearly 500 feet, according to Hit Tracker, which keeps track of home run distances. Holliday stared at the ball as it bounded up the Coors Field concourse, then turned toward Cain, the Oklahoman in him brimming, and three times yelled, "Yeah, bitch!"
Jamey Wright plunked Holliday later in the game, a bruise well worth the satisfaction of the showboat.
"You really know where it's going to end up, whether in the outfielder's glove or on the concourse," Holliday said. "But it's still fun when you hit it far. You're excited to see how far it actually does go."
Seven years ago, the prospect of Holliday admiring any big-league home runs was slim. He was generally regarded as the third-best quarterback of his high school class, behind Ronald Curry and Drew Henson, ahead of Carson Palmer, Michael Vick and a Texas commit named Adam Dunn. Holliday committed to play football and baseball at Oklahoma State, where his father, Tom, was the baseball coach.
Colorado took a flier in the draft's seventh round anyway. Then the Rockies offered $840,000, enough to convince Holliday that baseball was his destiny, even if he suspected as much already.
"I come from a baseball family," said Holliday, whose brother, Josh, is the hitting coach at Georgia Tech, and whose son, Jackson, is perhaps the best 3-year-old ballplayer anywhere.
Seriously, the kid can play. He doesn't need tips from McGwire, either. During the Home Run Derby last year, at Holliday's first All-Star Game – he was named to his second Sunday – Jackson cried boredom and asked to retreat to the cages for a round of batting practice. And so it went.
He does the same in the Rockies' clubhouse, where a rotation of players pitches to him and needles Holliday about a being outclassed by a toddler.
"Jackson's (swing) might be prettier," said Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, one of Jackson's BP pitchers, "but when you're leading the National League in hits and batting average, it's tough to go against that."
Holliday didn't exactly profile as a future batting champ when he joined the Rockies in 2004. Over his first three seasons, though, as Holliday broadened his knowledge of NL pitching, his average increased from .290 to .307 to .326 to its current .349 while staying "as strong as anybody in the game," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
Which makes it even tougher for the Rockies to look into their future and see Holliday in their uniform. After the 2009 season, he becomes a free agent. He hired agent Scott Boras two years ago. Unless owner Charlie Monfort opens his checkbook – the Rockies' payroll has been under $55 million for three consecutive years, and Todd Helton's albatross of a contract runs through 2011 – the chance of keeping a power-hitting, solid-fielding good citizen in the prime of his career for less than $15 million a year is nil.
Keeping Holliday, Garrett Atkins, Brad Hawpe, Jeff Francis and Aaron Cook – whatever's smaller than nil, that sounds right.
"I don't know how they're going to do it," Holliday said. "Obviously, it would be great if we could. We'd be a good team for a long time. You occasionally wonder what it would be like. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't even know if they're going to try to do it."
So he focuses on himself, on his swing, because that he can control. Thing is, in spite of the batting average and the extra-base hits and the All-Star recognition, recently it just hasn't felt right. Holliday sits in front of the computer screen playing his at-bats and rewinding, playing and rewinding, looking for the slightest nuance that might be the problem. And when that fails, when Tom and Josh don't have any advice – even when Jackson can't describe to dad how to achieve the perfect swing – Holliday knows he can reach out with his phone to a new friend.
"Sometimes I'll send Mark a text message," Holliday said. "And I have to say, when he responds, I feel kind of like a kid again."

Booing and hissing ex-soap stars and Eighties musicians has become an integral, if confusing, part of the Christmas tradition in the UK.

In Japan, New Year's Eve itself is called oh-misoka, and is a day to spend quietly at home for most people. It is not a day for fireworks at all in Japan (fireworks are reserved for summertime). You reflect on the old year, watch some year-ending entertainment programmes on TV such as Kohaku Uta Gassen (a long-running singing contest show), and perhaps go to the local temple at midnight, while hearing the 108 rings of the bell to ring away the evils of the old year.

You will need to spend 200 Crystals on a Faith Reset Card! This is located in the Daily Tab in the Item Mall. This is also where the Red Rose is located (Which provides 10 Charm Points)
The following screenshot will show you.
It's straightforward. 1 Crystal = 1 Charm Point - but since you can only buy a Red Rose for 10 Crystals, it gives you 10 Charm Points.
Where do you spend these Charm Points?
There will be an NPC similar to THIS SCREENSHOT.
It's basically a store - you will not be allowed to move once it is up.
A Player can set any amount to sell these buffs at. As you see in the Screenshot, I was attempting to sell a Lv. 1 Buff for 1 Charm Point.
*NEW DISCOVERY* When "Selling Buffs" for any amount of Charm Points, you must sell the buffs at the minimum level you have upgraded it to.
EX. Blessing of Harmony Lv. 5 MUST be sold at a minimum of 5 Charms.
If you exit the Blessing Interface, and you will stuck, then just go back to the Goddess Interface, click on "Begin Blessing" and the small interface will pop up again in order to allow you to "Stop Blessing" as seen in this screenshot.
When attempting to sell Buffs and you cannot confirm the "Begin Blessing" to open up, BE SURE to click on the specific type of buff you wish to sell before hand.
*NEW EDIT* As you progress with your skills, then it will require even MORE Charm Points than just the minimum. Here is an example:
As you notice, I need 9 Charm Points for Lv. 5 Blessing of Action - which is ONE of the first skills to learn as a Votary - if you choose to increase PATK.
If I forgot anything, I'll be sure to add it in.
And there you have it. The Idiot's Guide to the Goddess System.

Back to school on Thursday for a two-day IB workshop, and all teachers report Monday. Summer is just about over!

... and warm. We had breakfast just over the road from the hotel. I made the mistake of asking the guy behind me where we ordered, he told me he had never been in the place before and as taking his cue from me, once he heard my accent he decided it wasn't such a good idea.

Ripoff Report
CenturyLinkInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I attempted to get CenturyLink service on 5/11/2012. I called around 6:30 PM and spoke with Sean who told me I was eligible for PrismTV and service through CenturyLink. He told me he would find me a great deal and walked me through the process including a credit check, which he explained was normal for the process.
After the credit check came back clear and he wanted to set up service, he ended up not being able to complete the order because it was Friday and promised to call me back on the 14th which was a Monday. He called back and spent 2 hours on the phone completing my order which was done about 12:30 PM. He offered a TV/phone package for Prism TV that totaled around $78.
Two hours later I received a phone call from CenturyLink's 800 number stating they could not perform service and didn't explain why. I called back to get an answer and was told that my home was out of range. I was asked why this wasn't told to me beforehand and the only response was "well our techs determine this, we don't". So I said, WHY RUN MY CREDIT IF YOU CANT PROVIDE SERVICES PROMISED?!? They told me that you must run credit first and submit an order THEN you may qualify for service but there is no guarantee. From there I was livid. He made me wait 3 days when I could've gone with Cox Communications, then he didn't even give me what was promised. I got a call back on 5/15 from CenturyLink about the issue. I explained to the lady what happened prior to today. She proceeds to tell me that "it sounds crazy, they must not have been paying attention"
She walks me through the order AGAIN. Another 45 minutes PROMISING me that she will get me the service. We finished at 2:35 PM, and I got a call from Century Link personnel Anna tech ID 5180856. She was absolutely so rude. She said they couldn't perform the service and gave the same reason. I asked to speak to a supervisor which she rudely responded "oh well I am the supervisor". I asked why she had me in the system and why they called me AGAIN promising the service. She said "well it takes more than 12 hours to take you out of the system sir". It was 24 hours and if they knew the address wasn't working, WHY NOT PUT A RUSH ON IT.
Sidenote. Less than 5 minutes in WALKING distance from me, CentruyLink provides PRISMTV! When I asked her why that was, she continued to say "they go off a different receiver than you". I said, "homes RIGHT BEHIND ME!?" she just responded "yes". She was so unapologetic and snippy! The worst person I dealt with out of all of them.
CenturyLink is a shady company. They have horrible customer service. Inbetween the fiasco with Sean I have spoken with 3 people, all of whom have been ignorant and uninformed. They promise what they can't provide just to make their quotas set for the call centers. The tech center is completely rude and they are not competent enough to properly explain why service isn't provided even after being promised. They don't tell you that after they run your credit and put an INQUIRY on it that you MAY or MAY NOT qualify. They're scammers. Very shady people.
Do Not Get PrismTV!!!

In the US: Thursdays, 8/7c, The CW
In the UK: Thursdays, 8pm, Sky 1. Starts March 3 (TBC)
Well, here it is. Finally. After months of cameos and dicking around with the storylines of both Arrow and The Flash, we finally have DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
For years now, these two shows has been building up a guest roster of superheroes and villains. That's inevitable in TV programmes adapted from comic books that mass up a couple of dozen episodes a season, particularly since fans always want to see how their favourites shape up on screen. This process was initially organic. On Arrow, we had a whole season of former ninja assassin turned good, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) aka 'The Black Canary', before her eventual and much lamented death at the start of season three. We similarly got a whole season with Superman Returns' Brandon Routh getting a second shot at superherodom as Ray Palmer aka The Atom, a man who wants to be a superhero so builds himself a shrinking, armoured exo-suit.
Meanwhile, over on The Flash, we got first Wentworth Miller as Flash nemesis Captain Cold (he has a gun that makes things cold) before, in a nifty bit of casting, his Prison Break brother Dominic Purcell turned up to play Captain Cold's partner in crime Heat Wave (he has a gun that makes things hot). And on the superhero front, we got Victor Garber (Alias, Legally Blonde, Justice, Eli Stone, Charlie's Angels, Deception) as one half of the nuclear-powered Firestorm, with Robbie Amell (The Tomorrow People) as his other half.
All of that worked pretty well. Then towards the end of the third season of Arrow and the first season of The Flash, suddenly someone had the cracking idea of assembling these popular supporting characters and a whole bunch of others into a spin-off TV show in which they'd fight a super-super-nemesis. And both Arrow and The Flash would be used to introduce - in just a few quick months - those extra characters and set the existing ones up to leave their current shows in favour of the new show.
That would naturally take some work and more than a bit of plot gymnastics. So on Arrow, we've seen the very dead and buried Black Canary dunked in Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit and brought back to life, then try to redeem herself (again) as White Canary. The Atom finds he's only small fry so decides to go off to do something more worthwhile with his life than be, erm, a charming scientific genius philanthropist billionaire restoring a city to its former greatness.
Over on The Flash, Captain Cold and Heat Wave have been getting a bit fluffier and better motivated - sufficent to wanting, or at least not being averse, to saving the world. And with Robbie Amell not wanting to go long-term for another fantasy series, he gets sucked into a wormhole and replaced by BBC1/BBC3's Franz Drameh.
That's not been quite enough for a proper superhero team-up, so we've also had an Arrow/The Flash crossover to introduce Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée) and Hawkman (Germany's own Falk Hentschel), a pair of repeatedly reincarnating lovers from Ancient Egypt who are repeatedly murdered throughout time by Vandal Savage, one of the DC Comic Universe's Big Bads, who sucks them of their life energy so he can be immortal.
Why do they all get together? Well, in the future, that Vandal Savage, who's been organising wars throughout the centuries to distract attention away from himself as he slowly amasses power, finally gets what he wants and brutally takes over the world. A 'Time Master' from the East End of London, Rip Hunter, implores his fellow Time Masters to interfere and stop Savage's reign of terror from ever happening. They refuse, because they don't want to intervene in the timelines, so Hunter steals a time ship (amusingly, Arthur Darvil who played Rory on Doctor Who plays Hunter. How has there not been a copyright suit against this?) and goes back in time to the early 21st century to assemble our heroes (and villains) into a team who can take on Savage throughout the ages.
The big questions are:
- Will they succeed?
- What isn't Hunter telling the alleged 'legends of tomorrow'?
- Has all this effort actually been worth it?

When I took a leave of absence for the 1st semester, one of the greatest concerns for my self and my fellow volunteers were who would lead SERVE? Despite the worries, I took faith in my fellow senior volunteers and trusted in their skills, talents and above-all, dedication and commitment to the organization. For it's my belief that no matter how much you possess of the former, what's really important is the latter.
Last Saturday, during the Initial Common Experience (aka General Assembly) for new SERVE volunteers, I saw plenty of commitment and dedication from the senior volunteers now in charge of the organization.
It was the very first time that they managed a major activity all on their own, with completely no directions or intervention from me. It wasn't the best but it was a great success. They took the activity as their own as they introduced team-building activities that were new to the group, yet effective and fun. Though there were a few rough edges, it's forgivable since this was the first time they were completely on their own.
There were 14 new volunteers present. Most were silent yet cooperative, which is only natural because they are new recruits and they've met each other only then. But in each one, I know that they have enjoyed themselves and I'm confident that they'd stay long in the organization. That in itself is a great victory for the senior volunteers.
Now I look forward to the upcoming Self-Awareness Seminar and Advanced Leadership Training this August. The lessons the seniors learned in conducting a training activity would certainly make the upcoming activity exciting and fun. Hopefully, I'd be able to join them along with the other alumni.
Congratulations to the seniors!

Devil Owl
There was an owl who would roam the night sky in search of something better than a fly.
His big wings would scare the most bravest man who always stopped and never ran.
The owl with eyes that could see for miles and watch you on your phone before you even dialed.
There are rumors that it is from Hell and dines on a crab's shell.
Many have seen the owl and know it is very mean.
You will know it is near if all you feel is fear.
Never venture out in the woods at night unless you are up for a gruesome sight...

5 Kinds of Cold
From my experience, there are 5 kinds of cold; Chilling Cold, Creeping Cold, Partially Cold, Bedroom Cold and Biting Cold. The first is the kind that makes you feel ghostly, when the wind hits you just right and it seems to whistle through your bones and blow right by as if you weren't even there. This is the teeth-chattering, spine-tingling, knee-knocking type of cold that occurs one day in early January and the Christmas spirit is fading like a distant memory... But not so much that the people at cashiers have stopped talking to you and make friendly conversation. The next is the kind that could easily happen at home. You know you're fine but the house is a few degrees cooler than you'd like and it's uncomfortable, but you're ok until you shiver. Ugh. Partially Cold is – in my opinion – the most annoying of all the Colds, it is when your nose, your toes and a few of your fingers are cold but not the rest of you. It is damn irritating when someone just catches a piece of you and it is frozen. They say 'poor dear' and give you a hug. Like that is gonna help. They then give you a jumper or a blanket and you think 'no, I'm alright thanks, just go back to your knitting'. People. The next is for those who wake up first thing in the morning and do not, for the whole world, want to get out of bed to the thick cold veil surrounding you. You wonder if it is possible to have fog indoors. It saves money to turn the central heating off but when it's time to get up you wish you had a timer on the blasted thing. It doesn't make it any easier when you've got a beautiful lover beside you, slumbering peacefully. Don't they look gorgeous when they smile invitingly like that and the teasing twinkle in their eyes makes you just wanna... Stay. The last is painful. Any exposed skin is attacked by tiny teeth that rip into the flesh and bubble the blood beneath. Yet, when you get out of the cold, it leaves a tingling sensation that flows through your body and wakes you up. It is worth getting so freezing that it is unbearable just for those few precious seconds after when pure feeling takes over, so you gradually gain control over your body again. The cold is a frightening thing. So powerful, yet so variable.

Your tax rate seems about right
February 4, 2009 by David Luhman
The the FICA (Social Security / Medicare) tax rate, is 7.65 percent for employees and 15.30 percent for self-employed people. The rates are broken out as follows:
* 6.2% (Social Security portion) on earnings up to the maximum taxable amount ($106,800 in 2009)
* 1.45% (Medicare portion) on all earnings.
So your tax of $1,100 / $18,000 = 6.1 percent sounds about right for the Social Security tax.
However, you may essentially be eligible to get some of your FICA taxes "rebated" to you thru the Earned Income Credit. See here for details :

Christeen's Diary: 17 y 6 m 2.3 w
Dear Diary,
Sorry I didn't write this weekend. My costume has taken a lot more effort than I thought it would. Once the designing was done, Sarah had tried to do some of the sewing by machine. Her sewing machine couldn't handle it. The brocade is too lose and the silks are too slippery so we've had to do all the sewing by hand. Not to mention I think the gold in the brocade really is spun gold. I'm beginning to realize just how much these fabrics must have cost. It certainly makes me try to use it all judiciously, somehow I don't think I could get any more like it, or even anything close to it on my own.
We did the final fitting today and not too soon either, since we'll just have enough time to finish it up before I put it on tonight. Aunt Agatha passed by the room while Sarah was fussing with it on me. Aunt Agatha stopped to watch for a bit and she had this totally weird look on her face the whole time. I have no clue what she's feeling. I can hear her talking to Sarah now, I know the neckline is a little lower than she's used to seeing on me. Well there's no way to adjust it now. Tonight will be so much fun. Michael told me it's really being done up very realistically, down to using candle chandeliers! I can't wait.
Oh my God!, now I know what Aunt Agatha was talking to Sarah about. She just gave me her grandmother's ruby jewelry set. I was kind of wondering what I would be wearing for jewelry, but this is more wonderful than I'd expect, especially from Aunt Agatha. I guess she's not so bad after all. Did you know her grandmother was the last Duchess of Woodward? The jewelry set my Aunt gave me was the only jewelry my grandmother didn't sell to pay my great-grandfather's debt. I guess she had just enough money left to bring her and her baby daughter to America to start over. So I guess that makes us an old family with new money. Anyway the jewelry is gorgeous. The set contains a tiara, a necklace, bracelet, ring and earrings all with rubies and red fire opals set in gold. Now I'm so excited I can barely write. I'll make sure to write about the Ball .

James Crockett Was Itching For A Beatdown
Salisbury, Maryland (The Weekly Vice) - James Russell Crockett, a 24-year-old Salisbury man was jailed after he allegedly assaulted a 70-year-old woman in a check-out line for "bumping into his wife's shopping cart."
According to Salisbury police, The victim and the Crocketts were waiting in a Walmart check-out line on October 15th when the victim decided to change lines, and accidentally hit Mrs. Crockett's cart with her own.
Investigators say the couple became angry and belligerent, and shouted racial slurs at the elderly woman. Mr. Crockett then forced the victim onto her cart, then slammed her into the conveyor belt four times. After the women fell to the floor, he flipped her cart on top of her. The couple then proceeded to check out their groceries as she screamed and begged for someone to help her.
The victim was taken to the emergency room at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. She did have prior health issues. Her condition is unknown.
Mr. Crockett was booked into jail and charged with first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, disturbing the peace, dangerous weapon with intent to injure and disorderly conduct. He also had an outstanding warrant. He was released after posting $100,000 bond.

Thank goodness
My strides grew longer, my pace quickening as I ran for my life, by now the shadows will have figured it out, Kivuli is tryng to escape and Xavior is fighting for me.
I heard a deafening wail and pushed myself further, they were trying to scare me, that was a warning, easily translated as: we're coming.
I can't give up, I can't let anything else go wrong because of my faults, this will end but I'll need some help. The familiar shapes of the more familiar trees and greenery were metres away, I could smell the fresh flowers blooming, hear the song of the dinichi bird...."Not so fast shadow" I stopped, a shadow? "Go right back to where you came from and while your at it, tell your master that we're coming"
I saw his shape in the trees and looked around, there aren't any....oh.
"Kaz? I-Is that you?"
"How do you know my name shadow?"
"Shadow? What are you talking about? It's me, Aradessa"
"Do not lie, you have...." his voice faltered "No way. It really is you"
"Please Kaz, I've just ran from the shadow's.....kindom? I think their not far behind and to be honest ....." I felt my limbs go weak, my muscles retracting
"Guys! Come here! Aradessa's back!"
I felt Kaz put his arm around my shoulders to support me, another arm coming from the other side "Kaz, I dont like how pae she looks and her glow has dimmed..."
"I know Daz, I knw but if we can get her to Cam and Dylan, they cn figure something out"
"No doubt Lilly has a few ideas herself"
"Hannah and Nicki too, they'll probably know by now, thans to the wind messages"
"Thats good, it means that hey'll be ready for us"
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Dont worry Aradessa, just focus on breathing okay?"

Some of the acts at the hastily arranged show seemed disorganized and poorly rehearsed. But Queen, whose lead singer, Freddie Mercury, would later die of AIDS, gave a magnificent performance, with highlights from six hits: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Gaga," "Hammer to Fall," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions."LONDON - Twenty years later, it is still considered one of the greatest rock 'n' roll concerts of all time. During Live Aid, top musicians played simultaneous shows in London and Philadelphia, fans watched on televisions around the world and millions of dollars were raised for famine victims in sub-Saharan Africa. It may be hard for next month's Live 8 follow-up concert, also organized by Bob Geldof, to be as historic, heartwarming or flukey as the 1985 Live Aid show.At a time when few people owned computers, when cell phones and e-mail didn't exist for most, the all-day multi-artist concerts were broadcast live to the world.Pop music and celebrities were used to put Africa on top of the political agenda, especially in the world's wealthiest countries, and the TV audience was estimated at 1.5 billion.Afterward, organizers said they had opened the hearts of a cynical, me-first generation, persuading many people to donate money "until it hurt" and raising about $80 million.At the time, Geldof said: "To die of want in a world of surplus is not only intellectually absurd, it is morally repulsive."In some ways, the burst of humanism set off by the concert seems similar to the outpouring of donations that followed this year's tsunami disaster in Asia and Africa.Live Aid remains famous for its logo, the neck of a guitar with the outline of Africa as its base, and for two group theme songs: "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid and "We Are The World" by USA For Africa.Watching a four-set DVD of the Live Aid concerts at London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's JFK Stadium, some of the highlights are striking.The London audience included Prince Charles and Princess Diana, whose marriage was just beginning to fall apart. Formally dressed, the royal couple was photographed in the stands alongside Geldof, the long-haired leader of the Boomtown Rats. Phil Collins made headlines by first playing at Wembley, then flying to Philadelphia on a Concorde to perform there, too."We found it was possible. I'm a lunatic, aren't I?" he said.In Philadelphia, stars such as Jack Nicholson, Bette Midler and Chevy Chase appeared on stage to introduce many of the acts, and joined everyone else by making comments to the crowd promoting aid to Africa.Some of the acts at the hastily arranged show seemed disorganized and poorly rehearsed. But Queen, whose lead singer, Freddie Mercury, would later die of AIDS, gave a magnificent performance, with highlights from six hits: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Gaga," "Hammer to Fall," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions."Paul McCartney and U2 also brought the house down.Fans of today's TV star Ozzy Osbourne would probably laugh to see the overweight singer of the heavy metal group Black Sabbath strut the stage in a glittery outfit.As she took the stage, a young Madonna was described as a vibrant, up-and-coming singer.And Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, then estranged, performed in separate acts at Live Aid, Jagger with Tina Turner and Richards with Bob Dylan. The concerts brought three acts from the legendary 1969 Woodstock music festival back to the stage: Joan Baez; the Who; and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Neil Young, who had left from the group, used the concert to play with the band again. Both concerts lasted all day and into the night. They took place in jam-packed open-air stadiums in weather so hot that many men removed their T-shirts, including Jagger. Live Aid was so quickly organized on July 13, 1985, as a once-only live broadcast, that the CDs and DVDs of it were only made after "grade B" tapes of the shows were found and upgraded. Some performances were lost that day because of satellite or power failures. When a generator blew up during the Who's performance, only two of its four songs were broadcast. Today's DVDs don'

Not all large companies are lumbering investments. They tend to be less volatile than smaller companies, and some big caps can offer the liquidity for investors to easily get in and out while still offering robust profit growth and stock gains.
IBD's Big Cap Leaders Screen of the Day features companies that are large enough to offer liquidity but still poised for growth.
The elite IBD 50 list ranks companies based on superior earnings, strong price performance and leadership within industries.
Here are the top 5 IBD 50 stocks featured on the Big Cap screen.
The biotech Celgene (CELG) is ranked No. 7 on the IBD 50 list. Last week the company reported a 26% jump in EPS to $1.32, in line with recently raised expectations. Sales rose 14% to $1.42 bil, just shy of views.
Shares jumped 16% from Jan. 7-15 after the company gave upbeat 2013 guidance and a bullish outlook to 2017. It also announced positive results of late-stage trials for their drug to treat the skin disease psoriasis.
Michael Kors (KORS), the affordable-luxury fashion house, is ranked No. 8 on the IBD 50. The company was one of the most successful IPOs in recent years, but the namesake designer, Michael Kors, has been a leading figure in the fashion world for decades.
On Friday, Kors reached a new closing high. On Monday, the stock tried to break out but then fizzled to end lower. Shares dipped Tuesday.
ARM Holdings (ARMH) is ranked No. 15 on the IBD 50 list. The U.K.-based company licenses its microprocessor designs to chipmakers and other tech companies, mostly to run wireless devices. ARM chips are found in Apple (AAPL) products like the iPhone and iPad. But ARM is not completely tied to Apple's fortunes.
Apple shares have fallen nearly 35% from their closing high of 702.10 on Sept. 19, last week reporting its first EPS decline in nearly a decade. ARM shares have soared 45% during the same time. The stock rose 1% Tuesday, consolidating slightly below its Jan. 14 peak.
The world's largest payment processor, Visa (V), is ranked No. 22. The company has posted double-digit revenue and profit growth every year since going public in 2008 and its shares have more than doubled, hitting a new intraday high on Jan. 10. Visa shares edged higher Tuesday, not far off their peak.
Visa reports earnings next week. Its rival MasterCard (MA) reports Thursday. Analysts expect MasterCard to report faster growth, ending a four-quarter string of slowing earnings and revenue growth.
BlackRock (BLK) rounds out the top five at No. 26. On Jan. 17, the world's largest money manager reported a 24% jump in Q4 profit as consumer confidence on stocks rose. Total assets under management rose 8% to a record $3.8 trillion. Its iShares division is the leader in ETF assets.
BlackRock hit a 3-year closing high Tuesday, very close to an all-time best.

Oxford Biographies | Listen
Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show (Absolute Radio) | Listen
Holidaying in rural France is a nice way to spend a couple of weeks – I'm writing in the early morning, as swifts whirl and chatter, zooming under the house eaves to feed their chicks – but it does keep you away from national events. I missed the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, and the Lights Out commemoration for the first world war. (Lights are pretty much always out after 8pm around here, so even if everyone in the village was remembering as hard as they could, you wouldn't really notice.)
Still, I have been keeping up with events 100 years ago by listening to the Oxford Biographies. A podcast series born of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, the Oxford Biographies are short – usually around 20 to 30 minutes long – and simple: just histories of interesting people's lives, released every two weeks. Ignore the miserly seven episodes offered on iTunes and, instead, go straight to the website, where there are more than 200 to choose from. (This is nothing, by the way: the actual dictionary has more than 59,000 biographies, from Roman times to the present day. Fifty-nine thousand!)
There's everyone from Thora Hird to Dr Crippen, but in honour of the sacrifices made in the first world war, I've listened to the biographies of Wilfred Owen, of Jack Judge (who wrote It's a Long Way to Tipperary, which was one of the most popular marching songs during the early months of the war), and of nurse Edith Cavell, who helped the Belgian resistance and was executed by the Germans. Also those of the Unknown Warrior, buried in Westminster Abbey two years after the war ended, and, most tragically, of Herbert Burden, who was shot at dawn for being a deserter only a few months after he arrived at the trenches. He was just 17.
The Oxford Biographies are careful and slightly dry, read in a well-bred, actorly manner; without dramatic flourishes, but with those little academic facts that shoot light on to a subject, like a torch picking out a detail in the dark. These are invaluable for history dunces like me, who hated The Past at school, in books and in films. Here's one: Wilfred Owen was so religious as a teenager that on Sunday he would rearrange the sitting room to represent a church, dress up as a vicar and conduct a complete evening service for his family, including a sermon. Another: Jack Judge was a gambler as well as a singer, and when he got into debt he promised Harry Williams, a mate who helped him out with money, that if he ever had a song published, he would put Harry's name on there too. And It's a Long Way to Tipperary – which does have Harry as co-writer – was the result of a scam that Judge did in every new town, to get drinking money. He would bet someone he couldn't write a new song overnight, and then just rework an old one. It was a long way to Connemara.
Poor Herbert Burden's biography is brief, as his life was cut off so young. His life is all about his death. He wasn't allowed to appear at his court martial, or be represented by anyone. His only defence was a written statement in which he said he left the trenches to go and visit a friend in another regiment. His commanding officer barely knew him; all the officers who did had been killed in an offensive. Herbert seems to have been executed for being in the habit of wandering off, which seems eminently understandable, given the circumstances. Anyway, as you can tell, I now have a little more knowledge of the Great War, not through the manoeuvres of battle, but through personal histories. (Don't worry, BBC, I am aware of your first world war output, I'll get to that next week.)
If all this is a bit too ancient and upsetting, may I recommend Absolute Radio's Geoff Lloyd's interview with US talk-show host Conan O'Brien? The conversation is slightly comedy geek, but not so much as to be alienating. And what a pleasure it is to listen to two witty broadcasters batting funnies back and forth, without either of them worrying about who actually delivers the killer line. "I like to have fun with people. I'm not someone who fires comedy at you," says O'Brien at one point, and that's just right.

Long regarded as a cultural desert and social backwater, Hobart has been buzzing since the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) opened in the Tasmanian capital last year. Housing the private collection of a multimillionaire professional gambler, David Walsh, Mona has attracted half a million visitors to its underground galleries beside the Derwent River.
The A$100m (£66m) museum, built on the proceeds of gambling, has put Tasmania on the map and become its biggest tourist draw. It has also brought its eccentric owner to the attention of the Australian tax office, which has decided it wants a share of Mr Walsh's winnings. He has now received a A$40m tax bill, which he says he cannot afford to pay, and which has thrown Mona's future into question.
A university dropout with a gift for figures who devised a mathematical model enabling him to win vast sums, particularly on horse racing, Mr Walsh says he has no objection, in principle, to paying tax. What irks him is that the tax office repeatedly assured him that his gambling income was not taxable. Now it wants to tax him retrospectively, which he considers unjust, and he is fighting back in the federal court.
With Tasmanians aghast at the prospect of losing Mona, Mr Walsh has won support from some unlikely quarters. His MP, Andrew Wilkie, who has campaigned for the abolition of fruit machines, has accused the tax office of unfairly targeting "tall poppies". Another prominent Tasmanian politician, Bob Brown, a Presbyterian who until recently was leader of the Australian Greens, has urged the federal government to intervene.
Mr Walsh himself is hoping tax authorities will "come to their senses" and negotiate a reasonable out-of-court settlement. "It seems rather pointless for them to pursue me, destroy Mona, damage the economy and the Australian cultural scene, put 170 people out of work and at the end of the day get nothing," he told The Independent on Sunday.
With its eclectic mix of ancient and modernist works, and its vast scale – Mr Walsh's A$80m collection contains more than 2,000 paintings, sculptures and installations – Mona has won many plaudits from the international art world. Billed as an "un-museum", and a "subversive Disneyland", it confounds and intrigues visitors. Works on display include the Belgian artist Wim Delvoye's Cloaca, a model of the human digestive system which produces mock excrement at regular intervals. The building, too, is unusual, with a roof tennis court and no wall labels to explain the artworks.
Mr Walsh, who owns an adjacent vineyard and micro-brewery, was hoping to build a hotel and another museum exploring the relationship between art and science. But his expansion plans are on hold.
The 51-year-old began planning for Mona in 2004, he says, after the tax office assured his syndicate that it was not liable for tax. "Had they made a different decision then, I might not have got myself in this diabolical financial position I'm now in. I'm completely happy to pay tax. I'm a supporter of high-tax regimes, and I think I should be part of that. But I wouldn't be able to pay this bill even if I hadn't built Mona."
It is not inconceivable that he could gamble his way out of trouble. When the museum was in the latter stages of construction, he received two large bills amounting to about A$10m, which he was unable to pay.
