Ann Blyth
Jump to
Alternating between dramas and musicals, pretty Ann Blyth was already acting in elementary school and emoting on Broadway before she had even reached her teens. Discovered by Universal, she made some unremarkable films with that company before being borrowed by Warner Brothers and cast in their Joan Crawford vehicle "Mildred Pierce" (1945). As Crawford's brazenly ungrateful and downright evil daughter, Blyth made quite an impression and earned an Academy Award nomination. Although a serious back injury sidelined her for over a year, Blyth bounced back and excelled at MGM, which showcased her considerable singing skills in such glossy productions as "Rose Marie" (1954), "The Student Prince" (1954), and "Kismet" (1955). As the 1960s rolled around, she opted to mostly stay out of the limelight, devoting the majority of her time to a growing family, but did return briefly to stage and television work. Blyth made a lasting impression in "Mildred Pierce," but with her beauty, lovely singing voice and solid dramatic ability, she gave several performances that rightfully earned her a place among the most talented leading ladies of the 1940s and '50s.

As teenage gang leaders Shaahid Latif and Ricki Elliot spent years fighting each other. The only thing they had in common was mutual hatred and the two young men, who hail from opposite sides of Peterborough's ethnic divide, eventually ended up in court.
Today, however, the once-sworn enemies are firm friends. Rather than scuffling in the city's shopping centre, or trading insults at nightclubs, they are more likely to be found chatting together about R 'n' B or helping other young people turn their back on the prejudice which blighted their early lives.
"I was racist and so were they," says Ricki, 18, who hails from the white working class area of Raventhorpe. "I would say things like 'Paki, curry-muncher', he would say things like 'White bastard', it just went on. We were racist to each other. It started off with fighting about certain causes and then ended up with gangs and then a big court case."
Shaahid, from Gladstone, the predominately Asian neighbourhood on the other side of the dual carriageway that divides the communities, remembers how the two youngsters would regularly clash. "Sometimes you would look at a person and know you don't like them. It was like there was any excuse to start up," he recalls. "I would look at him, there would be a few words exchanged like 'Who are you looking at?' or 'What's it got to do with you?' We were both really childish I think."
The tension eventually came to a head when Ricki was injured in a hammer attack. He accused Shaahid of taking part in the attack, although the young Asian was later acquitted.
At this point salvation was at hand in the guise of Peterborough City Council's pioneering Unity scheme. The two were sent away together to train as youth workers and discovered - much to their initial horror and surprise - that they actually liked each other.
"We were told we had to get along and we had to set an example," says Ricki. "We ended up sharing a hotel room, listening to music and talking all night. I learnt how to dance like him and, because I'm such a fussy eater, I found I preferred halal meat.
"You don't feel comfortable with someone because you don't know them," agrees Shaahid. "We found we had much more in common than we had differences
The Unity scheme was established in Peterborough in the wake of the high-profile murder of Ross Parker, 17, who was stabbed to death with a foot-long hunting knife by three Asian men in what the trial judge at Cambridge Crown Court described as a "racist killing". Anxiety had been mounting in the area following the outbreak of racial tension in Bradford and Oldham in 2001, and some feared that Peterborough could be next.
The events of 11 September 2001 exacerbated the situation. While there had been an average of 190 complaints of racial harassment each year before the attacks, this soared to 340 in the 12 months afterwards.
Youth workers observed the conflict between the white youths of Westwood and Raventhorpe and the third-generation Pakistani youngsters of Gladstone, was getting worse. "These were working-class lads facing the same problems but living in parallel worlds," explains Javed Ahmed, manager at Peterborough Youth service.
"They have the same problems with friendships and family dynamics, issues of unemployment and training. They support the same football teams and listen to the same music."
The programme recruited young people to take part in the scheme, leaders with "street cred" among their peers, who had been involved in racially aggravated incidents. The idea was to get them to celebrate not their diversity, but their unity.
Mr Ahmed said what they discovered were young people desperately looking for a way out of the spiral of violence. "I have learned that racism isn't needed," says Ricki. "Hate is baggage and you shouldn't carry it around. If it hadn't been for this scheme I probably would have been in hospital or worse prison."
Shaahid believes he has turned a corner too. Having been excluded from school for fighting, and spending some time in prison, he believes his problem was violence rather than racism. He has now returned to college and is studying for a diploma that will give him access to a business degree.
"Two years ago I wasn't in school and I was on the wrong path to life," he says. "I would only use racism under certain circumstances, when I was pushed to the limits. Now I am educated, I know about different cultures and different religions. I feel comfortable with everyone. We have Portuguese, Polish, Pakistani, Indian and Italian in this city now. I believe that is a good thing. My job now is to tell the kids who are younger than me that violence is a dead end."Reuse content

The bank once known as the millionaires' factory is having to pay more of its earnings to staff to stop key bankers decamping to rivals for better wages.
As it reported a profit fall on Friday,
The bank's compensation ratio – the proportion of net revenue set aside to pay employees – increased to 47.3 per cent for 2011 from 42.9 per a year ago, broadly in line with its international peers.
The fixed component of salaries paid to key Macquarie executives jumped 83 per cent as the bank put more emphasis on paying bonuses with deferred equity and less cash. Clawbacks and vesting rules have also been introduced.
Key executive base pay was boosted by about 50 per cent on average. But chief executive
The bank justified the increase in executives' base salaries by noting they remained relatively low compared to other companies.
Macquarie shed staff during the global financial crisis but is now struggling to retain key rain-makers and traders as rival banks try to lure them with higher pay packets. Not all staff stand to gain, with many to receive little to no bonus, some bankers say.
Even for those who do receive a bonus, more of it will be in equity rather than paid out in cash.
Executive directors will have between 40 per cent and 70 per cent of profit share retained. Staff below executive director-level will have a minimum of 25 per cent retained.
For other staff, payments up to $50,000 will escape retention, but amounts above this face 25 per cent to 35 per cent retention rates. Payments above $500,000 will be retained at a rate of 40 per cent.
Macquarie will spend about $420 million buying its own stock on the market between May and June, which will be allocated to staff in its retained equity plan.
CLSA banking analyst Brian Johnson said Macquarie appears to have departed from its usual secret bonus formula (linked to return on equity) by boosting its bonus pool when it should have declined. ROE was 8.8 per cent, down from 10.1 per cent last year.
The move would help Macquarie to stop its staff from defecting to rivals, Mr Johnson said. Voluntary turnover of Macquarie executive directors increased to 11 per cent in 2011 from 10 per cent last year.
Mr Moore is one of three key management personnel at the investment bank whose pay was down. The others are head of Macquarie Securities Group and Macquarie Capital, Roy Laidlaw (paid $5.5 million, down 4 per cent), and executive chairman of Macquarie Capital and Macquarie Securities Group, Michael Carapiet ($2.8 million, down 60 per cent).

This poem makes no sense (but it does Rhyme! :D)
I am writing a poem,
with lots of rhyming
because you are a moan
and I have bad timing.
If you complain,
That this makes no sense,
I'll claim you're insane,
and jump over a fence!
Oh look!
Its the third stanza already!?
I'm a great cook!
Do you want to go steady?
Clearly poetry writing,
Is not in my future!
My Dog enjoys bitting.
Yes, i am a looper

text: Eastern MediterraneanIn the world-class Levant Basin, Noble Energy has been providing reliable gas to Israel since 2004 resulting in significantly lower energy costs and reduced CO 2 emissions. Natural gas demand in Israel continues to rise due to growing electricity demand and the emergence of new industrial customers. To satisfy this strong demand, Noble Energy is developing the largest offshore project in Company history. The Tamar project is on schedule for first production in April 2013. Sales for the remainder of 2013 following first production are expected to average approximately 700 MMcf/d with a peak capacity of nearly 1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). The jacket and topsides installations will be completed by the end of the year and the world's longest subsea tieback will begin commissioning shortly thereafter. The realized price will be a blended price that will rise as Tamar volumes continue to grow. Future expansion phases will increase deliverability using compression at the onshore terminal along with a combination of system optimization and storage at Mari-B, allowing sales to grow to an average of approximately 1 Bcf/d. The 17 Tcf Leviathan development will increase the deliverability and reliability of domestic supply to Israeli customers. Development plans have been significantly advanced with the announced agreement in principle with Woodside Energy as a strategic partner in the project. Noble Energy will continue as upstream operator and will retain 30 percent working interest. The first phase of development includes domestic capacity to deliver up to 750 MMcf/d via a northern entry point in 2016. The project plans additional capacity for exports via pipeline, onshore LNG, or floating LNG as early as 2018. The Mesozoic oil prospect below the Leviathan gas discovery is planned to be spud late next year.

The German car owner enjoys a life of rare privilege: not only are his autobahns free of speed limits, but his petrol stations are the only place outside bars and restaurants where it is possible to buy alcohol on a Sunday.
Foreign visitors are often shocked to find filling station shelves stacked with alcohol. Any suggestion that this kind of legislation is an open invitation to drink and drive is flatly dismissed by the car lobby as an insult to the integrity of drivers.
In most places in Germany, however, the ruling does allow non car-driving citizens to circumvent the country's draconian Sunday shopping laws by buying wine, beer or spirits from their nearest filling station.
But now the southern state of Bavaria has tightened the legal corset even further with a new ruling which bans anyone but car drivers from buying alcohol, soft drinks and food from filling stations after 8pm.
The new ruling came into force at the beginning of June and was designed to ensure that only motorists who were travelling long distances – and not local residents – benefited from the special out-of-hours shopping provision.
However, its days may be numbered. Bavaria's outraged opposition politicians say the new law is ridiculous. They have called for state-wide protests outside filling stations after 8pm, starting this Saturday. "It's bureaucratic insanity. Drivers can load up with beer and schnapps, but a thirsty cyclist is refused even a bottle of water," is how Bavaria's Liberal Party leader put it.Reuse content

Very short lay-over on the way home
Amsterdam Travel Blog› entry 19 of 23 › view all entries
That morning lay-over was rather short, I had not slept that much in the previous flight but it was a little funny to see Schiphol a bit quiet at arrival this early (before 6am) but then to walk around and see it get more and more crowded in other spaces.
My most funny anecdotes was to see some UN representatives awaiting at the gate as the flight arrive to welcome the few african refugees that were on the plane. Some of them were to be sent to other destinations later that day, some were lone children. I even believe some were families being brought back together. I slowed down myself a bit to witness all the action. I think most of them looked more excited than worried, it was obviously challenge ahead for all of them.
The 'airport shopping mall' was also not all open so I decided to step outside the airport to get some fresh wet Nederlands air. It is funny how you feel connected but yet distant with all these when you stand like that at an airport and see the local bus passing by. You feel like you've live something they don't know but feel like you'd like them to know or would wish to fuse your life with the place and the moment. I look at the people with the same intent, wondering what has their experience brought so far. Travelling is exciting
At least that is how I feel like when I step in Europe, I wish I could connect with this sentiment of joy and feeling home, and have less of this feeling of being an alien.
Eventually, I went back to my gate to queue and answer the few security questions and hop I was back in another long flight to Detroit.

The style and proportions of the facade of this country house suggest that it dates to the 17th century, although it was likely begun in the 16th century. The kitchen and the pens for livestock were on the ground floor, while the first floor housed the bedrooms, granary and barn for the livestock. A stone well has been conserved from this period. The property has barbecues, gardens areas and open spaces around the house, as well as separate areas with garden furniture. This renovated farmhouse is listed as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest. It was renovated in 2010 and offers a total of 3 apartments.

Chapter Four / ConvictionsMature
They strode into the Silver Phoenix and across to the table, this time attracting even more suspicious glares than Henry had on his own. The mage glanced over at Seymour in the hope of seeing his own discomfort mirrored in the detective's face. All he saw there, however, was boredom.
Upon reaching the table, Seymour sat down heavily and leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs so that his right ankle rested upon his left knee. Alasdair and Mialina started a bit at his sudden appearance.
"Are you…?" the alt-mage began, then stopped and turned toward Henry. "You didn't mention that he was—"
"A grunie?" asked Seymour. He swiveled his eyes around to look at the young lord, who had flinched at the sound of the slur. "Don't cringe at what I call myself, your lordship. You'll only trick yourself into thinking that you're socially aware."
Henry opened his mouth, then closed it again.
"Anyway," the merman said, his subtle smile widening slightly as he rolled his eyes back toward Alasdair. "Yes, indeed I am Seymour de Winter. I understand that you are the Alt-Mage of Murkintsen?"
"I am. My name is Alasdair MacQuarrie. This is my wife, Mialina."
"Pleasure," Seymour replied curtly. "And what, exactly, do you want with me?"
Mialina glowered at him through mismatched blue and violet eyes. "Don't speak to my husband that way, you—!"
"I'm sorry, but I'm in the middle of an extremely stressful, high-stakes murder investigation at the moment, and I really don't have the time to go gallivanting across the kingdom at this point in it. Had I known that this case would come up when I received Lord Henry's letter, I would not have even agreed to this meeting. And now here you are, inviting yourselves over to add another fucking responsibility to my docket, and it's really rather upsetting. I apologize if I'm coming off as rude. I just cannot deal with this bullshit right now."
"I understand that," said Alasdair, putting a hand on his wife's shoulder to prevent her from lashing out again. "And I understand if you refuse to take our case, but if you could just consider it…"
"Go on."
"I have a nephew in Waelyngar. He is eighteen years old, nearly nineteen, and…"
Seymour, who had been studying the scratch marks in the wood of the table, looked up at him slowly. His face had changed. "His name?"
"Seoc Andrew MacInnes. My sister's eldest son."
Face pale, the detective returned his gaze to the tabletop. "And what is he in for?"
"Well, various charges."
"Consisting of…?"
"Theft, drug trafficking, and…"
Seymour sighed through his teeth. "And?"
"This is why I told Henry not to make mention of him in the letter. If you knew, I was afraid you would refuse."
"Spit it out, mate. I don't have all night."
The alt-mage took a deep breath. "Prostitution."
"Rezyn." The merman leaned his elbows on the table and placed his head in his hands. For a moment, he looked as if he might be crying, but then he raised his head again, and his eyes were dry. "How long's he been in for?"
"A year and a half."
"Then he was seventeen when he was convicted. A child still." He furrowed his brows. "How long is his sentence?"
"Life?" Seymour was aghast. "For a kid?"
"Well, those were serious charges, after all. And he was nearly grown by then."
"And what of the real criminals?"
The alt-mage was perplexed. "The real criminals?"
"Yes," Seymour hissed. "The sickos who would buy and sell a minor for sex. What became of them?"
"Nothing. No charges were brought against anyone but Seoc."
"So the court held him fully responsible?"
"Correct," said Alasdair.
Seymour stared up at the ceiling with his eyes glazed over. "He must have had a shitty lawyer."
"Well what?"
"He didn't have one."
The merman's face contorted in a mix of pain and revulsion, and he stood up abruptly. "I need a drink," he said, starting for the bar. "Can I get anyone anything?"

I Still Can Remember
I still can remember the last time I cried…
Demelza was a married woman. I don't know why it hit me so hard that night. We had just finished making love and I was holding her. Then the thought started running through my head. This woman was married to my ex-boyfriend and I had foolishly fallen in love with her. They had a child, for Merlin's sake. At that moment I realized for the first time that it would all have to end. There was never any talk of her leaving Dean for me. I was certain that would never happen, but I hadn't really thought about what I expected would happen. I didn't expect to fall in love with her. I didn't even expect that night of experimentation to lead to a five-month affair. And, until that night, I never expected it to end.
That's when I started to cry. I don't cry much, but to realize that I was in love and that I was going to lose her in the same moment was too much for me.
Demelza was surprised. "Ginny, are you… Are you crying?"
"Just a bit."
I didn't want to tell her. I didn't even want to acknowledge the reason verbally. "I'm worried about Harry."
She patted my arm awkwardly. I found it odd that she knew every inch of my skin but had no idea how to comfort me emotionally.
I felt horrible for using Harry in that way, too. I did worry about him a lot then. I still do. No one knows exactly what happened in the final battle, but for a year no one heard from Harry, Hermione, or Ron. There were rumors that they had died, but most people believed that they were still alive somewhere. They finally returned about a month before that night. When asked about what had happened or where they had been, they refused to speak of it. I once asked Ron point blank and he started shaking his head in a disturbing sort of way. "It was horrible" was all he would say. The only thing I've been able to gather was that after the final battle, Harry suffered a mild breakdown and felt that he needed to stay away for some time. Ron and Hermione stayed with him, maintaining the unbreakable trio.
When they finally got back, Harry sought me out. I went off on him for leaving me for nearly three years and expecting me to wait for him. Of course this was before I knew about the breakdown. He told me I was wrong and he completely understood if I had moved on. That actually moved me. Here he was, the hero of the wizarding world, and he was so humble and unassuming. He had no expectation that I would wait for him.
I had waited though. Until that strange, firewhiskey-rich night with Demelza, I hadn't even thought about moving on. So there I was, for the first time ever, happy in a relationship with someone who wasn't Harry, and he waltzes back into my life. I know that it was wrong to think of it in those terms after everything that he had been through, but I did have some resentment toward him. I was upset that he hadn't reached out to me once during that year. I told him so and that I needed time.
A month later I was lying in Demelza's arms weeping quietly. I decided it was time to give Harry another chance
The last time I lied…
Even though I knew our break-up was imminent, I was still surprised when Demelza told me that we needed to stop seeing each other. She was feeling guilty, she said. She loved Dean and couldn't do this anymore. Didn't I love Harry?
I told her yes, I love Harry. That wasn't the lie. The lie was when I said we could still be friends and when I agreed this would be for the best.
She had been so happy when I decided to go on that date with Harry. I think it made it easier for her to end it. I like to think that she loved me too and the break-up was really difficult for her as well.
I understand why she did it. She loved Dean. She loved him so much that I don't even know why she had an affair. I suppose I assumed that she was bi-sexual, like me. It turns out maybe she isn't. We never talked about how our relationship related to the ones we had with men. In fact, we never talked much about the outside world at all.
Demelza and Dean had a very quiet relationship. Few people knew that they were dating until she got pregnant. It turned out that they'd been seeing each other secretly for seven months before that. Although it was a quick, quiet wedding and although it was necessary because of the baby, the marriage worked for them. There was never any resentment or regret, at least not that I know of.
So how did we happen? That's the question, isn't it? Well, we were drunk. It was supposed to be some kind of Gryffindor Quidditch team reunion. I don't know what exactly we were thinking since Harry and Ron were missing in action and Katie was dead, but aside from Demelza and myself, Dean, Angelina, Oliver and the twins were all there. We were supposed to be celebrating three years of Quidditch cups or something like that. It was actually a quite depressing party. Oliver kept bringing up Katie. I got the impression that he'd had a secret crush on her but never got the chance to act on it. After five hours and copious amounts of firewhiskey, Demelza was the only person left at my flat. We got to talking and one thing lead to another. But how could she do that to Dean? How could I when I was saving myself for Harry? Why did it continue?
I remember exactly what happened. I can't speak for Demelza, but I know why I did it. I had lost faith that Harry would ever come home. We discussed the end of the war in a slurring, drunken stupor and she mentioned the rumors that Harry and my brother had died. My family had been so fortunate to all remain alive throughout the war. It was heartbreaking to think that maybe Ron hadn't survived in the end. I got very upset and Demelza hugged me, saying something about being sorry that she had brought it up. I looked up into her eyes and the rest is history.
I also know why the relationship continued on my end even after sobriety set in. I was without my boyfriend, my closest brother, and my best friend. I was looking for someone to fill as many of those holes as possible, and Demelza stepped happily into two of them. As for the brother, I still had five of those. Four, Percy doesn't count anymore. The bottom line is I was lonely and Demelza was there.
I guess when it ended I wasn't so lonely anymore. I had the three most important people back. Ron and Hermione slipped back into their roles easily, and by the break-up, Harry and I were finding our way back to each other. So maybe I didn't need her in my life anymore, but I still wanted her there.
"We can still be friends" is such a beautiful lie. Everyone pretends to believe it but they never ask why they haven't heard from you.
The last time we tried…
Okay, skip forward three months. I hadn't seen Demelza since the night we broke up. It was an accident. Maybe "accident" isn't the right word, but what I mean is it wasn't planned.
It happened at another get-together, this time for the Gryffindor boys. Seamus brought his fiancée, Parvati, Neville brought Hannah Abbott, and, of course, Dean brought Demelza.
Hermione was also there, as Ron's wife. Or was she his fiancée then? I never know how to refer to their relationship during that time. At some point during their time away, they had been married in a small, muggle ceremony with only Harry as a witness. However once they returned, my mother insisted that they have a traditional, wizarding wedding. She claimed they wouldn't be married in the eyes of the community until then and was adamant that everyone refer to them as engaged. I think it was less about tradition and more about the fact that she hadn't been there, though. Hermione, eager to please her new mother-in-law, quickly agreed to Mum's request. So I guess technically she was his wife and his fiancée, but I digress.
Of all the people there, Hannah was the only one who wasn't a Gryffindor. In fact, she seemed a little uncomfortable sitting there alone on the couch. I went over and sat next to her, hoping I could help her feel at ease. I asked her about how she and Neville had gotten together, but as her eyes lit up and she started talking my mind wandered to Demelza. She was sitting in my line of sight talking with Ron. Our eyes met and at that moment I felt as if I was sliding down a slippery slope. Suddenly, I could feel her again. If I closed eyes, I could pretend like nothing had changed, if only for a few seconds. Then I looked at Harry and my heart sank to my stomach. I felt horrible for even thinking about someone else. I finally had everything I'd wanted since I was ten years old and I still wasn't satisfied. What was wrong with me? I put Demelza out of my mind and focused on Hannah's story.
A half hour later, I was in the kitchen getting more ice when Demelza came in. To this day I don't know if she had followed me there or if it had been a coincidence. All I can remember of the short, awkward conversation that followed was her saying, "I love Dean." I responded with, "I love Harry," and then we were kissing. I want to say that she initiated it, but I honestly can't remember.
A lot of thoughts flowed through my head during that kiss. One, it was wrong to do this in Harry's kitchen. Two, it felt so right and natural to hold her like this again, to feel her hands and lips all over my body. Three, if I had to choose, I wouldn't give up Harry for her. Four, I can't lose Harry because of her. Finally I pulled away. I still loved her and I still wanted her, but it wasn't enough anymore. It didn't matter in that moment.
I opened my mouth to say something, but just then Harry came in. The fact that he didn't realize how awkward the situation was made it that much more awkward. As he talked, I avoided both his and Demelza's eyes. Before Harry left the kitchen, he smoothed my hair out of my face. I finally met his gaze; he looked happier than I'd seen him in a long time. After a few moments, I managed to say, "I'll be out in a minute."
When he was gone, I cleared my throat. "Demelza, I—"
"Shh." She put a finger to my lips. "You don't have to say anything."
I took her hand in mine. "Yes, I do. This can't happen anymore. It's better if we don't… if we just don't." I let go of her hand. "I'm happy with Harry."
"I thought I was happy with Dean until I met you!"
Three months before I would have been thrilled to hear her say that, but right then it was the last thing I wanted to hear. Suddenly, I too had a love life that was complicated by these feelings.
"I'm sorry, Demelza." I turned to leave.
"Wait, Ginny. Don't go yet."
"Er, well, I promised Harry."
"Oh." She gave a bitter sort of chuckle. "I guess that's it then."
"What do you mean?"
"You're choosing Harry. That's all I need to know."
I was still a little confused, and opened my mouth to question her further, but then I decided to leave it at that. I walked back to the party and sat with Harry.
A year later I married Harry and Demelza left Dean. She's living with some other woman now, and yes, sometimes I wonder what might have been. But then I think about what has been and I know that I made the right choice.

The man studied them, his hand was already holding the hilt of his sword,
"I see you're arm is injured Dwarf... What business do you have in the lowland kingdom of Elkart?"
Awkid looked to the forest as he spoke,
"Simik venom... Only the healers in Elkart know how to treat it."
"And the hobbit?" Added the guard,
Balamor was unsure what to say, he glanced a Awkid who started to show he was lying with the arch of his eyebrows.
"Well? Do you have no answer for him?"
The guard proceeded to draw his sword, it was intimidating to Balamor, he stepped back instinctively. The suspense held everyone still. Awkid Anvorbeard stared at the armored man. His focus quickly changed to the white stone keep of the Anstian Kingdom behind him.
"Get him! Stop that damn thief!"
A voice called out, it was coming from the west and along with it were the sounds of hooves clacking against the cobbles of the road. Whistles from riders and the occasional cry from their horses came closer.
Awkid and Balamor looked up to see who was coming but the Anstian man who held them up was to slow to make the same move. Before he could turn around there were the men on horseback about to trample them; two more guards chasing down a blue hooded man.
Balamor froze in the middle of the road, his legs wouldn't work for him this time. They were only feet away Awkid pushed Balamor out of the road and reached for the blue hooded rider with his bandaged arm. As he gripped his blue robes he lost his footing and pulled the rider from his saddle.
The other guards quickly pulled their horses to a stop when Awkid Anvorbeard and the hooded rider crashed to the ground. The sounds of metal clanged against the cobblestone.
Balamor was still getting back on his feet when he saw various metal trinkets littered the road. He looked closer as one guard gathered them into a bag the other two detained the hooded thief. The metal pieces shined in the light, some were polished while others lackluster. While he walked toward them their details became clear, they weren't just trinkets, they were keys.

Like many kids, I grew up watching Sesame Street. So, imagine my excitement when I finally got to meet Elmo! I have to tell you that Elmo created quite a sensation around my office when he came to visit us at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services a few weeks ago. He was a rock star!

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rises as materials, RIM show strength
TORONTO Nov 30 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index was higher in early trade on Tuesday after seesawing at the open on weakness in energy issues and strength in materials shares.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 8.61 points at 12,904.26, after opening slightly lower.
Eight of the index's 10 sectors were lower, led by soft energy issues, while materials gained on a gold miners' rally. Info tech, up more than 1 percent, was supported by Research In Motion RIM.TO, which soared on analysts' upgrades. (Reporting by Ka Yan Ng; editing by Peter Galloway)

The Tale of Two Sisters
Willow and Anali are two twins with strange powers. None of the villagers in their village know about it because they hide it so well. But when some strange people begin chasing them they begin their adventure of a life time.
I walked out of the tiny cottage where me and my sister lived in just outside of the village. It was right next to the forest and a small river. I continued to walk toward the river my long silver hair blowing in the wind. The thing about me and my sister is that we weren't normal humans. I was able to control and use water and fire. My twin sister, Willow, is a nature nymph. I made it to the water then after making sure no one was around I made the water float up and drop in the bucket that I had brought with me. Just then Willow came out and walked over to me.
"Good morning." Willow said smiling.
"Hey." I turned around "So you ready to get going?"
"Yeah!" Willow answered eagerly. Early that morning Willow had found a band of thieves hidden in the woods and we were planning on foiling their plans. I quickly dropped the bucket off at the cottage then walked back out.
"Then let's get going!" we headed off to the forest. Willow climbed up in the trees while I stayed on the ground.

The sun disappeared from the sky long after Calvin found a lip on the side of the mountain big enough for him to rest on. He didn't want to stop, but reasoned with himself that continuing the climb in total darkness was suicide. He was not an experienced climber, so he was forced to rely on common sense and the knowledge of his limitations.
After building a fire, he ate a Spam sandwich and boiled a cup of water for tea. Luckily, the wind died down to a wheezy breeze after dark. It was still enough to occasionally threaten Calvin's fire, but not enough to pierce his layers of warm clothing. His toes were wet and cold, though, which concerned him. Getting frostbite did not worry him, as long as he made it to the top of the mountain before it got bad. Once there, he would trade his flesh and blood for something far greater and more powerful.
As weariness and some of Gorgo's sedatives darkened his mind, memories as recent as last week and as old as childhood washed over Calvin. Images of conflict, feelings of hurt, and voices of old flooded him all at once. Suddenly, he was a child again, small and weak against his tyrannical mother. It's no wonder dad left, he thought while she punched and kicked him. Curled into a ball on the floor, he took it. From early on, he learned to just endure the beatings. Nobody could help, because nobody was reliable. Nobody was good, because nobody was evil. Nobody was flawed, because nobody was perfect.
"Man is what man is meant to be…" Calvin recited, reaching through the memories with his voice and grasping onto reality. "Conquered."

Pay $3M, Get Tiger
By Kickntrue on 3/26/09
Tiger Woods added the HSBC Championship in China to his schedule for the end of 2009. He's taking a little heat for requiring a $3M appearance fee.
Tiger defends his acceptance of the money because others accept fees for playing all over the world. Says Tiger, "This is the only place that doesn't have appearance fees. Most of the guys get appearance fees to play around the world. I've played all around the world and I've thoroughly enjoyed going."
Arnie Palmer isn't going to be too critical but he does think players should appreciate what pro golf used to be like.
In his first PGA Tour event, the total purse was $10,000. Even last-place money at the Arnold Palmer Invitational gets more than that.I'm sure Arnie has a good point and don't get me wrong, I'd kill to be in his company to hear him talk about the way things used to be, but if someone offers me $3M to play in an event- I'm probably going to take the money.
[ comments ]
ToddRobb says:
They asked him to come play their tournament, he said give me $3M and I'll play your tournament, they said yes. What's the problem?
Just don't expect him to tip anyone.
mmontanaro says:
I agree. The only reason they're asking him to play someplace he normally wouldn't play is because they're going to use his name and appearance to bolster ticket sales and TV viewership. That doesn't come for free. The player should get a cut of that. They're going to make more than the $3M they're paying him. He absolutely deserves the fee.
Howzit says:
What the heck, He's not getting the bucks from Buick anymore, and it looks like it'll be a few more rounds before he starts "winning" any money, so he might as well sell his name and endorsements while people are still willing to pay for them. At least "people ARE willing to pay for him"!
GolfSmith7 says:
I know this has been pointed out but if they are paying him 3 million, hmmm how much are they pulling in?
mmontanaro says:
Well, for the Australian Masters they said it would result in $12-$15M in revenue above and beyond what they would normally get. So I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with it. It is almost a guaranteed investment! Not sure what the economic structure of China is compared to Australia, but I would imagine it is similar.
kidputter says:
My problem is he has a pre-set fee of $3M. What if he doesn't make the cut? Revenue will plummet for the final 2 rounds and the estimated revenues will be for naught. Based on the $15M draw, he will be earning 20% JUST FOR SHOWING UP! At least make him sign more than 2 autographs and wave to more than 4 people. Just showing up is not enough to warrant that kind of money.
ToddRobb says:
kidave, there's much more to it than just "showing up". For an event like that he plays a few holes on Monday or Tuesday with a few "chosen" people, along with doing an exhibition on one of the days before the tournament starts. After the exhibition he signs hundreds of autographs, even though he tends to pick kids to sign for. Besides all that, for him to be there even if he misses the cut, shoots truckloads cash into the local economy. This is a no lose proposition for all involved.
ToddRobb says:
BTW, he's missed the cut I think twice in the last 12 years, it's a pretty good bet that won't be a problem.
kidputter says:
Tiger Woods has not signed 100's of autographs in a season, let alone a single tourney. I've been to 2 events and never seen him sign more than a handful. You're correct that he chooses the kids mainly. He was eliminated in the match play tourney this year. Who knows if missing 8 months will take its toll later in the season. Personally I don't think ANYONE is worth that kind of cash for an appearance.
Beside that, ToddRobb, you seem to have an agenda regarding him. You seem to be defending him ANY time someone makes a comment that is not full of praise and kowtowing to him. He's a great golfer. The greatest of his generation. The best in the last 20 years. Top 5 or so of all time. Still not worth the money in my opinion. I would rather see that extra money go to the WINNER. Let him EARN it.

In Defense of the Ponytail-Puller
Elizabeth Lambert, the 20-year-old former University of New Mexico soccer player on scholarship, gave her first interview this week since the incident earlier this month when she pulled an opponent to the ground by her ponytail, and was permanently suspended from her team.
The New York Times reported that Lambert "watched the video a handful of times and does not recognize herself pulling down Brigham Young's Kassidy Shumway."
I recognize her. A former competitive soccer player myself, I played against plenty of Elizabeth Lamberts, and I played defense aggressively, like she did.
Pugnacious play is not uncommon in soccer, particularly at the highest levels, where it so often separates a winning team from a losing one. Does that make what Lambert did kosher? Of course not. Are forceful actions like hers more common than most people think? If I had 2010 World Cup tickets, I'd bet them that they are. The game-changer is that the incident was caught on tape. The video's viral propagation has removed Lambert's action from the context in which it occurred. It has been misappropriated in some pretty disgusting ways that are bad for women everywhere, whether you care about sports or not.
Lambert told The New York Times that she received an email that said she "should be taken to a state prison, raped and left for dead in a ditch." The cat-fight angle couldn't help but creep into the discussion. She told The Times that she has received invitations from people who thought the incident "sexy," and that "people think I have a lot of sexual aggression."
Another disturbing example of the baseness of Lambert-gate is the offensive "Elizabeth Lambert Dating Video," inspired, I imagine, by the story's magnetic media pull.
In it, a Lambert look-alike beats on people, talks about dating someone who "can take what I dish out" and says, "my vajayjay could kill you." It has been viewed more than 150,000 times on YouTube.
To me, this is more of the same picking at women who exhibit behaviors deemed "unlady-like." I'm confused by the quickness to explain female aggression, albeit inaccurately, in a sexual context. This reminds me of the women tennis players at Wimbledon who took a media beating for making noise called grunts on the court. There seems to be an increasing amount of women's sports coverage devoted to criticizing how women act on the field or court and what it implies about their character. This incident, which has been called "violent" in one breath and "sexy" in another, could be the most public attention paid to women's soccer in recent years. Yikes.
Had a referee caught this ponytail pull, he or she would have given Lambert a red card, a violation, which would cause her to sit out for the remainder of the game and probably subsequent matches because of the gratuitousness of her infraction. She is being publicly rebuked for what, in a men's game, would easily garner such a red card and not make the news. Her suspension from the team, and from the sport that she loves is an excessive punishment.
Lambert is extremely apologetic, in fact she sounds completely broken in The Times interview. She's a young woman who made a mistake; she's not the villain or the brute that she's being made out to be.

Chen: Alright then.
To call me terrified would be an understatement--the understatement of the year in fact. I mean, really. First I'm born with powers, second I'm kidnapped, then I'm in a plane on my way to go train using the powers I was born with, and then the plane gets shot down. Just lovely. A typical day in the life of Xingjuan Chen. Goodness.
I could have been a lot more helpful than I was being, just sitting on the ground, practically rolled up in a ball sobbing. Well, I could have been at least kind of helpful. Considering I knew where we were. No one else knew, but I did. The pilot was dead, and he'd be the only other person who knew anything about our location.
Regardless, I said nothing.
The other animals in the circus, though, just wouldn't shut up. Like this one kid. I heard her name spoken a few times. Olivia something. Whatever her name is, she just wouldn't stop screaming and blabbering on about how scared she was.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Give it a rest, I thought as she stomped back and forth, raging about something that really made no sense. She was probably scared, but so was I. I suppose everyone deals with fear differently, but I certainly didn't throw a fit when I was scared. I just...well...rolled up in a ball.
"So where are we?" someone suddenly asked, pulling me out of my little world. They didn't direct the question at me--or anyone in particular, really. It didn't matter though, because I answered the question.
"We're about 5.6 miles off of Cagliari, Italy."
Everyone quieted. They all looked at me. Even Ms. Loud&Obnoxious went silent.
"Well, stop staring and let's go," I snapped, standing. I pointed west. "We head that way, and we'll eventually hit civilization. Maybe we can find someway to contact our families and get home from there."
One guy stepped forward. "I thought we were going to go train with some guy in Switzerland. You know, and save the world."
I frowned. "Yeah, look how that worked out for us." I motioned to the smoking plane sitting about a football field away.
Everyone looked at each other and then back at me.
Ms. Loud&Obnoxious said, "I'm with her."
My eyes widened. "Wait, no. I'm not leading this 'expedition'. I'm not the leader type."
"But...uhh...you're the only one who knows where Cargield is," Ms. (I'll give her a new nickname) NotSoLoud&Obnoxious said slowly.
"Whatever. Still, you need to lead us there for now."
I blinked. Oh crap. What have I gotten myself into?
One guy elbowed me gently. "You'll do fine, baby," he said, winking at me.
I frowned. "Who are you?"
"Antonio Romano," he said, bowing slightly.
I didn't move. "Stay away from me," I snapped, pushing past him.
"Whoa!" he laughed.
I marched past everyone and towards the forest. I stopped. "Are you guys coming, or what?"
Everyone murmured a yes and began to walk towards me.
I suppressed a smile. "Alright then."

Hydro dam responsibilities named for city
A few responsibilities the city will undertake with the possible ownership of the hydro dam were spelled out Tuesday.
Bill Forsmark, director of business development and vice president at Barr Engineering, told the Brainerd Public Utilities (BPU) Commission about some key duties at its meeting Tuesday.
"It's my responsibility to teach, inform you folks so you become independent in owning and operating the dam," he said.
Forsmark added that the city has a lot of resources to turn to, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Wausau officials, Barr Engineering, and other state municipalities that own dams.
The Brainerd City Council recently agreed on a lowered price of $2.6 million for the hydro dam, which is a drop from the original $4.115 million. Voting against the agreed price was city council member Mary Koep.
Here are the responsibilities Forsmark said the city will be tasked with in buying the dam:
• Safety elements: The city will need to have an "owners dam safety program."
City leaders need to be sure that if an employees sees a safety issue, they know who to bring it to and will do so without worry over fiscal responsibility or other concerns.
Dam safety can be added to the BPU safety committee, said Scott Magnuson, BPU superintendent.
• Security needs to be a No. 1 concern, especially with any potential acts of terrorism or vandalism.
• Training in unique operations: Some operational issues might be similar to existing utilities that BPU operates but other issues are unique to a dam. Staff needs to be trained properly.
• Public safety: The public will want as much access as possible, but safety and security need to be a concern.
The purchasing process for the hydro dam is still moving forward, said Todd Wicklund, BPU finance director. The title work is getting close to being completed.
Purchasing the dam is still important, he said, as the city aims to manage its costs of buying power.
Over the last 11 years, the average annual adjustment was a 6.7 percent increase in power costs in buying from Minnesota Power, Wicklund said.
"The rates can't keep up to that rate of growth," he said. "Using a hydro facility, it's a hedging mechanism to reduce rate adjustments."
Wicklund added that it makes sense for the city to look into options like the hydro dam.
"It makes sense when we have adjustments like this," he said.
Still, there are questions in the purchase, which the public has yet to weigh in on officially through a public hearing.
During open forum, Koep presented the commission with three pages of questions she wants answered about the hydro dam.
Koep said she didn't expect answers right away, but would like a response in a couple of weeks.
The list included questions such as:
What in the engineer's reports do you believe are addressed in homeland security rules? What funds will be used to pay for the engineer's reports? Will those funds be contained in the accounting of funds for the dam? How will the costs of the dam be kept separate from other public utility costs? Has a business plan been developed for operating and maintaining the dam?
"Transparency had been a stranger in this project and now the public is being fed only what you want them to know," Koep said. "The questions I ask are relevant to the public and assessment of this project."
Koep added that she will ask the questions and try to "separate the hype from the truth."
There have been five engineer reports done on the hydro dam since the process started last summer, Wicklund said.
Each has been paid for by BPU and is listed in the bills approved at each meeting, he said.
In other public utility commission news:
Brainerd resident Jeff Czeczok disputed the commission's motion to move into closed session for BPU employee evaluations. Czeczok argued that since the group didn't list off the specific statute number for the reason behind the closed session, the group could not close the meeting.
That resulted in a heated exchange between Czeczok and commission chair Don Samuelson, who said he was still closing the meeting because he could quote what the statute said, allowing for the closure, just not the statute number.
Samuelson added that Czeczok could file a complaint.
When Czeczok still refused to leave, Samuelson said he would just adjourn the meeting.
That's when commission member Lucy Nesheim motioned the group take a recess, call the Brainerd city administrator for the exact statute number, and then go into closed session to complete the evaluations.
"Now you guys are doing it right," Czeczok said as he left.

My First Life
Book by: Hatednothing
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Chapter1 (v.1) - My First Life
Rag walked away from The Plains with a tinbox gripped on his sweaty palms and dragged his feet back home with troubled thoughts on his mind. He had prayed for a miracle and expected one for he did not knew that God works in mysterious ways.
He creeps silently along the walkways of the abandoned streets as he expect the unexpected and threw wary glances at the dark due to his guilty conscience, he attempts to stand firm against the adversities he might soon face as he had done wrong to the people who lived just around the corner.
Before The Collaspe had started, Rag was already poor and had to live with his parents and his only sibling in a small tent that had several holes with rays of light peeking into them. Despite his total objection towards the idea of having to study with the other kids, he was forced to attend to the shiny brick structures with the money that his parents had managed to barely scrimp up and it definitely did not take a genius to guess the expectations that he had to live up to.
It was that horrible place that turned his life upside down as if it had not been already turned and of course it was also that place that that allowed his life to take a turn for the worst. School, was the place where the nickname of Rag was specifically given to him by the school bullies who took no pity on his ragged clothes.
When The Collaspe had occured, Rag's life had changed a whole better. He could live his life free from the troubles that he once faced, but there was more to come.

His Sweet MelodyMature
Lorelei and Wesley. Teenage loves who grew up in a small town. She was smart, but too shy and self conscious to leave and go after her dreams and him to absorbed in his dreams to stay. Their love for music brought them together but his love for it took him away. 10 years later hes back home, needing a break from all the attention and stress, she's still there teaching music to high schoolers and giving private lessons after school. Hes looking to reconnect and she's still hurt by the past.
June 28, 2010
She stared down at the box filled with her precious, most prized possessions. The box held all the memories she wanted to remember, even a few that she wished to forget but would forever be apart of her. The overwhelming urge to burn the box and all its contents poured over her like an ice cold wave. She had come to hate her life and everything it represented; the unhappiness that ensued her everyday to the point that she had developed a severe case of depression, the suicidal thoughts that filled her head every moment of everyday. There was never a day that she could be happy that wasn't followed by days that threatened her sanity and had her on the verge of taking her own life. All the people she thought she could count on were gone, in more ways than one. she was alone too often with her dark thoughts, all she wanted in life was to be content maybe even a little bit happy, she wanted to enjoy life again, for her laughs to be real and not forced, for her smiles to be real and genuine. She wanted to belong to someone, anyone who could understand her and accept her as who she was. Angrily, she threw the box against the wall, all the contents spilling across the floor, a few of them busting into pieces from the force. Wiping away the tears that slipped from her eyes she stood from her place on the floor, looking around the room she took in everything that was a part of her old life. She didn't want to live this way anymore, the need for a new life, to forget the old and welcome the new washed over her.

Overview of the Mini Facelift
posted on
Facelift surgery continues to be one of the most popular procedures for men and women who want to tighten up sagging skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate their look. However, facelift surgery can be painful and requires a long recovery time. The mini facelift is a popular alternative to the traditional facelift, and is now available at many cosmetic and plastic surgery centers around the country.
Get in touch with a cosmetic or plastic surgeon in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for a mini facelift. Your surgeon will be able to explain the pros and cons of this procedure, and explain how this type of facelift can rejuvenate your appearance.
How the Mini Facelift is Performed
The mini facelift is typically performed on an outpatient basis because it does not require any large incisions or stitches. The mini facelift focuses on several delicate areas of the face, including the jawline, neck and folds around the nose. The doctor makes very small incisions in these areas to reposition the tissues and remove excess fatty deposits. In some cases, facial tissue and skin are removed to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.
After the excess fat cells have been removed with liposuction and the facial tissues have been repositioned to create a more contoured appearance, the surgeon may recommend filling parts of the face with injectable fillers, and tightening the skin with a series of skin tightening treatments. These additional procedures are typically performed several weeks after the initial part of the facelift has been completed. The facial tissues need to heal completely before any type of filler is injected into the skin.
Overall, the mini facelift is a minimally-invasive procedure and is less costly than a traditional facelift. It can be performed in a few hours, and any pain associated with the procedure can be managed with painkillers, heat packs and ice.
Best Candidates for the Mini Facelift
The mini facelift is a good match for men and women who want to reduce or eliminate the common signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles, sagging skin and hollowed facial areas. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so patients who are juggling a busy work schedule or do not have time to recover from an extensive surgery may be good candidates for this type of procedure.
The best candidates for the mini facelift are men and women who:
- Have relatively healthy skin
- Want to improve the contours of their face
- Are in their 30s and 40s, and in relatively good health
- Are looking for a short-term solution to get rid of wrinkles
- Prefer not to undergo extensive surgery
- Are not healthy enough to tolerate the effects of general anesthesia
Learn more about facelift surgery in our information guide, or consult with a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find out if you may be a good candidate for a mini facelift.
