Sights i have only dreamed
Poem by: chas
Status: Finished
Genre: Travel
I am in Bruins wick Georgia life here is so different the creatures that dwell in this land are amazing such as the birds some are so big and beautiful their colors are mostly pale and dull I have yet to see the brightly colored birds that make their home in the pacific their wing span can be so long they glide through the sky effortless looking as if they were swimming through a great blue ocean so free. There are squirrels here, excited little things they are very fast they move about the ground with such precision but yet they move and leap through the trees with grace and ease they have adapted to both ways of life and mastered it. The trees are so old there's so much knowledge and wisdom their roots are huge they have been here longer then we can imagine, to see this and respect the in such ways I have only dreamed. I look up at the canopies and my eyes are shocked with vibrant colors light green, dark green, olive green, brown, and rich reds it is so beautiful seeing all these shades blending together. The land is rustic and old Pele's hairs or Spanish moss is what the locals called it hung from every tree giving a romantic vibe, long silver strands glittering in the light or accentuating the shadows, the land is also covered in marshes my mind often wondered what kind of creature could dwell there, the meadows are spectacular when the sun shines on them it looks as if it was gold stretching farther then my eyes could see when the wind blows it looks like golden waves getting ready to brake on the shore. The air is fresh and cold when it was late one night a friend and me were out side talking it looked like smoke was coming from our mouths I felt as if we were dragons breathing out smoke from our lungs. The sun shines even through the chilliest of days giving warmth and energy to through the cold. I see spider webs glittering in the suns presence. The sunsets are dazzling pinks and oranges spread across the entire sky bathing the horizon in color such spectacular sights I have only seen dreamed.

A/N: This story picks up right after my multi-chapter story Different. In that story, Lois knows about Clark, they're engaged, Clark revealed himself to the world, but he's not Superman, not yet! My muse was also sparked by those 'Homecoming' pics for S10.04 that came out the other day, and Tom's desire to see a few gone, but not forgotten, co-stars to return to the show next season. Here goes! Enjoy! :D
After seeing Clark's heroics on television and on the Internet, Lana Lang could not stay away. As she stood on the farthest reaches of the Smallville High School gym scanning the crowd of familiar faces looking for a tall dark-haired man, her heart began to race. I have to see him just once more. Suddenly, her mind went back to the last time they saw each other. "I really should not be here."
"Lana Lang?" It was Lois. "What are you doing here?" Lana was silent. "I won't let you hurt him again." Lois grabbed her arm trying to escort her out before Clark came back.
"Lois?" What is she doing here? Lana thought.
Lois escorted her behind the bleachers hoping to protect Clark if he came back and was hurt by Lana's foolishness. "I know what you did to him, and please don't look so shocked. I know everything, Lana."
"He told you?" Lana couldn't believe it.
"Of course he told me. Why wouldn't a fiancé tell his future wife everything?" Lois smoothed her hair back behind her ear purposefully flashing her sparkler.
"Oh, I see." Lana knew deep inside that they had a connection, but she refused to accept it, to believe it, and now it's staring her in the face.
"You are a smart girl, when you want to be. You should leave."
Clark arrived just then from a rescue in Metropolis, straightening his tie and smoothing his hair in place. "Lana?" He stood frozen in place waiting for the kryptonite effects to send him to his knees, but it never came. He slowly made his way over to them. "It's alright, Lois."
"Clark? Stay away, she could hurt you."
"I'm fine, Lois." Clark put his arm around his fiancé and stared at the woman who had been such an important part of his life, but now, she felt like a stranger.
"Lana, what happened?"
Lana held up a ring with a 'blue stone' inside. "It's temporary."
Clark backed up knowing if he got too close, he would lose his powers. "And why are you here?" Clark wanted to know.
"To see everyone, to say hi, that's all," Lana said lying to him.
"Lois and I are engaged," he unnecessarily stated.
"She knows, Clark and I told her to leave. She's not welcome here."
"Is that how you feel, Clark?" Lana bravely asked.
"I want what Lois wants. You should leave, Lana."
"But we only just got here, Clark." Lex leisurely strolled up to Lana, put his arm around her and pulled her to his side.
Lois and Clark both gasped and said at the same time, "Lex?" They both instinctively stepped back.
"Is that any way to welcome home two old friends? It's good to see you both."
"But we thought you were dead," Lois said eyeing them both suspiciously.
"What do you want, Lex?" Clark asked now totally suspicious.
"To have a little fun," Lex said and glanced at Lana.
"I'm sorry, Clark," Lana said and pulled the ring off.
Even though he wasn't standing close, Clark felt the kryptonite effects immediately as he fell to his knees.
"Get away from him!" Lois reacted immediately, punched Lex in the face, shoved Lana to the floor, taking them both totally by surprise, grabbed the ring from her, and tried to get it close enough to Clark to protect him. "Get out both of you," Lois was furious. "You both forgot about me, didn't you? You won't forget next time because Clark and I are a team. What happens to him happens to me. Now, get out and don't come back!"
"Let's go, Lana. Round one goes to them," Lex said as they both left.
"Are you alright, Clark?" Lois said as she smoothed his hair away from his forehead.
"I will be once you get rid of that ring," he said trying to smile. "Thank you, Lois."
Lois returned his smile. "I'll be right back." Lois knew it had to be destroyed, and then she took the ring to the high school cellar and threw it into the furnace fire.
Clark saw Lois return, sat up against the wall and sighed. "Is it gone?"
"Yes, it's gone. Can you stand?" Lois asked helping him up.
"Some reunion, huh? I'm sorry I dragged you here, Lois. I know you didn't want to come," Clark said shaking his head.
"I wouldn't have missed it for anything," Lois said and looked up into his face.
Clark knew that look, as he leaned down just a little and kissed her sweet mouth. She kissed him back for a moment.
"Are you ready to go now?" Lois asked her fiancé.
"Let's go home."
A/N: Round Two, anyone? Let me know what you think! I hope you liked it, and thanks for reading. Reviews are love!

Car: Recommended
This 3 bedroom one bath house is nestled between Butler Beach and Crescent Beach in a quiet, not so crowded section of St. Johns county.
Large, flat, drivable beaches with life guards in some areas.
The house is a stones throw from the Matanzas Beach ramp which makes for convenient walking or driving.
The front of the house faces east. Walk down to the ramp and see the sunrise! Play on the beach during the day and drive in to town for dinner and historic attractions later on.
St. Augustine Pier and Anastasia State Park are just a few miles to the north and offer lots of outdoor recreation activities. Plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops to keep you going all day!
Marine Land Dolphin Adventure is a short drive south. This is an oceanarium with interactive opportunities and lots to learn. Swim with dolphins!
This house was my grandmothers. It's just been completely renovated. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1994
About the owner: I grew up "in the Swamp", Gainesville, Florida, home of the University of Florida. As a kid my family came to Saint Augustine every summer and often on weekends during the school year. Eventually I moved to Saint Augustine, so I could always have the sand between my toes! I love the beauty and history of our city and never ever tire of the beach.
Why the Owner Chose Saint Augustine Beach, FL, USA:
The Atlantic View house is special to me, because it holds many fond memories of a magical childhood during simpler times. My mother and grandmother, two adventurous women ahead of their time, had the house built in the 1960's. At that time the beach was mostly uncrowded, especially during the winter when we had the entire place to ourselves. I've enjoyed seeing Saint Augustine grow and am never surprised by the positive reaction of visitors to the oldest city in the nation. Come see for yourself!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The nice thing about this house is the comfortable and intimate feel. At once casual and classy, you know you're at the beach and you feel like you're at home. The ocean is literally across the street and over the dune so you can smell the salt air and hear the waves! This house is in the ideal location, both for beach and town.

Amid concern that attacks in the home account for more than a quarter of all violent crime reported to the police, the Mayor is backing calls for persistent abusers to be electronically tagged.
Mr Livingstone also plans to lobby for a change in the law to allow domestic violence to be considered an aggravating factor when dealing with sentencing, as is currently the case with racist crimes.
Research conducted for Mr Livingstone reveals that:
? One allegation of domestic violence is made to the police in Greater London every 12 minutes.
? One third of all common assaults reported to the Met relate to domestic violence.
? One in four women will experience domestic violence.
? Ninety per cent of children are in the same or the next room when violence occurs. A third are injured trying to protect their mothers.
? One in six homelessness applications results from domestic violence.
Mr Livingstone said: "The work starts now. The Metropolitan Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Association of London Government have all signed up to this strategy, which means this issue is now being taken seriously."
The Mayor has been persuaded that official action can make a difference. Following campaigns in the United States over a five year period, domestic violence fell by 21 per cent. Today at Romney House, representatives from the Mayor's office, the Commons and women's groups are marking the 10th birthday of the Domestic Violence Intervention Project.
Meanwhile, a woman was found stabbed to death in her home following a suspected domestic incident.
Police are questioning 31-year-old man who walked into Brixton police station at 10.25pm on Monday. Officers then went to a nearby flat where they found the woman's body.

Alan Turing's 100th birthday
For Alan Turing's 100th birthday, Google created a special tricky doodle in honor of the British mathematician who helped pioneer the modern day computer.
Google's doodle was a Turing Machine—a conceptual computing machine that would use an infinitely long piece of tape containing a series of symbols. At the time, Turing Machines couldn't realistically be created (since there is no such thing as an infinitely long piece of tape), but modern day computers use similar logic, minus the tape.
Anyway, Google's doodle is a brain-twister for sure, but I won't spoil the surprise. See if you can crack the code here.

INTRODUCTION: Endotracheal intubation is associated with complications that include laryngeal edema, ulceration, and glottic/subglottic granulation tissue formation. Such traumatic consequences can lead to respiratory difficulties. Here we report a unique case of traumatic intubation leading not only to respiratory difficulties while awake, but during sleep as well in the form of sleep disordered breathing.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 53 year old female smoker presented with syncope. Cardiac and neurological evaluation were normal. Upon further interview she reported excessive daytime somnolence, and a necessity to sleep sitting completely upright. Past medical history was notable for tracheostomy and subsequent decannulation after laryngeal fracture from a motor vehicle accident during childhood. Three years ago she required blind intubation while undergoing breast lumpectomy. The patient was extubated following the surgery, however, she was not spontaneously breathing. Emergent re-intubation was attempted unsuccessfully, and emergent cricothyroidotomy was required. Computed tomography (CT) of the neck post cricothyroidotomy displayed an edematous epiglottis. Treatment with corticosteroids was initiated and decannulation was performed 2 weeks later. Currently, physical examination revealed a normal body weight. The orophraynx was clear without palpable masses. There was a well healed tracheostomy scar, and of note, an inspiratory stridor was audible. Spirometry was performed, and revealed reduced inspiratory airflow with a visible plateau and flow oscillations, indicating a variable extrathoracic upper airway obstruction (Figure A). Nocturnal polysomnogram was performed to evaluate the daytime somnolence and revealed a plateau on the inspiratory airflow waveform with snoring indicating inspiratory flow limitation (Figure B). She was started on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to overcome the obstruction to airflow. Direct laryngoscopy was performed revealing redundant floppy supraglottic aryepiglottic mucosal fold with fluttering during respiration (Video), providing an etiology for the upper airway obstruction noted on both spirometry and nocturnal polysomnography. Supraglottoplasty was performed to remove the redundant tissue, resulting in resolution of her stridor and significant symptomatic improvement in her daytime somnolence.
DISCUSSION: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) refers to abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. It is an increasingly common condition associated with obesity and results in significant morbidity and mortality. SDB includes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is characterized by episodes of apnea or hypopnea as a result of partial or complete obstruction in the upper airway during sleep. The obstruction is typically caused by relaxation of pharyngeal muscles during sleep that result in the palate and tongue obstructing the airway in the supine position. Here we report a unique cause of acquired obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disordered breathing in a thin adult. In this case, traumatic intubation during an elective procedure resulted in trauma to the supraglottic larynx. The resulting granulation tissue and redundant mucosa interfered with normal inspiration during wakefulness as well as during sleep as evidenced on the flow volume loop and nocturnal polysomnogram, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: We report a novel case of daytime somnolence and sleep disordered breathing secondary to obstruction from redundant supraglottic mucosa following traumatic intubation.

Global Food Ingredients Market Report: 2014 Edition – New Report by Koncept Analytics
Overall food ingredient industry is broadly classified into two segments namely; specialty food ingredient and bulk ingredient.
Food ingredients are primarily segmented into following types: preservatives, sweeteners, color additives, flavors and spices, flavor enhancers, fat replacers, nutrients, emulsifiers, acidulants and leavening agents. Traditionally, salt was the main ingredient to be used for the preservation of meats and fish, followed by different herbs and spices to improve the flavor of foods whilst fruits were preserved with sugar, and cucumbers were pickled with the help of vinegar. Unlike the ancient times, the contemporary consumers can opt from a wide variety of food products that are available in different flavors, colors, with high nutritional values. Food ingredients are primarily sold to the producers of prepared food, beverage, dairy, bakery, meat and fish and confectionery that include large food manufacturing companies as well as medium-sized companies.
The key factors driving growth of the global food ingredient industry include escalating global population, changing demographics, increasing healthcare expenditures, and growing demand for packaged demand for packaged food and beverages. Some of the noteworthy trends and developments of this industry include ongoing merger & acquisition activities, launch of innovative and novel products, increasing acceptance of natural ingredients and rising demand from emerging economies. However, the growth of the industry is being hindered by rising intense research requirements and stringent regulations along with various health hazards associated with food additives.
The report analyzes the global food ingredient industry along with an extensive coverage of its major product segments. The food ingredient market witnesses intense competition with numerous top notch players; such as Tate & Lyle, Royal DSM N.V, and DuPont; operating in the marketplace along with small budding players. The fierce competition prevailing in the food ingredient industry has been studied on a number of parameters such as emerging market exposure, R&D expenditures, company financials, and presence in various market segments. The company profiles of leading players in the market are also presented in the report.
By combining SPSS Inc.'s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.

Mrs Whalin was following the rather more arduous journey made by Juan Ponce de Len in 1513, in his quest for the Fountain of Youth. He did not find it, unsurprisingly, and died in the attempt. At least her quest only ended in leg-irons at Monroe County Detention Centre.
Escapism is a strong human impulse. Most people nurture dreams of being somewhere else. We tend not to say to ourselves: "Always remember that the grass is equally green on both sides of the fence." We need an imaginary place in our minds where the sun always shines and things are better, and we call it ... Florida. (All right, some people call it Provence, or Tuscany, or Zanzibar, but across most of America and Europe, Florida is the most popular daydream.)
The Sunshine State is where people want to go if they win the Lottery, or get a building society windfall, or simply want to splash out. It was the unseen star of Midnight Cowboy. Set in the mean streets of New York, the film was driven by the longing of Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight to live in the clean, wealthy sunlight of Florida.
Throughout America, the middle class aspire to retire there. Throughout Europe, they want to go on holiday there. And for Mrs Whalin it seems it was the ultimate "get away from it all" destination (although no American would go to Florida in July: it is far too hot). The same sunshine and the same escapism attract the global rich and the Caribbean poor to Miami. Gianni Versace and Cuban emigres made their homes there (or third home in Versace's case, after Milan and Lake Como). Floridians, it is said, are born Puerto Rican and die Caucasian.
Part of the attraction of Florida is the timeless sun, sand and sea formula - although until the invention of air-conditioning and the draining of the swamps it was a rather inhospitable place. At the time of her arrest, Mrs Whalin was, we are told, enjoying the luxury of Room 1404 at the plush Ocean Point resort on Plantation Key, one of the string of islands which stretches from the southern tip of the state. The Florida Keys are described in the brochures as one of America's "most beautiful unspoilt wildlife havens" - which no doubt they were before Ocean Point was built. But that is the trouble with earthly paradises: they are fine until people get there.
And Florida, being America, is a paradise open to the masses. The history of the state is the history of escapism brought back to reality. After the indigenous population was deported to Oklahoma (no, really) and Florida became the 27th state in 1846, there began a huge migration from the rest of the US. The original inhabitants were descendants of native Americans and escaped slaves - slaves who had fled Caribbean islands to freedom, only to find themselves struggling to survive in the disease-ridden, reptile- infested swamps. The growth of 20th-century Florida was described as "frantic to the point of chaos", and it inevitably became the place - Cape Kennedy - from where America reached for the stars. But it also inevitably created in Miami one of the largest areas of urban deprivation in America, with a television police serial to match.
Then in 1971, the fantasy was made plastic, wood and concrete, a theme park the size of Manchester called Disney World. Now it employs 40,000 people and attracts 25million visitors a year, more than the whole of Spain. It was conceived by Walt Disney himself as a utopian "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow". It is the last word in making mass fantasies real, a place where smoking, chewing gum and facial hair are outlawed (for the staff - or Cast Members - at least). A place where everyone wears Mickey Mouse ears but still genuinely has a good time. A place where class distinctions are suppressed: even Princess Diana took Princes William and Harry there four years ago (although they did stay in the pounds 1,000-a- night Grand Floridian Beach Resort Hotel).
It is a fantasy which exerts a strong gravitational pull across the Atlantic, a powerful combination of cheap package flights, sunshine and child-led demand. But the whole point of Disney's experimental prototype is that it is not a community and you could not live there for long. For one thing, you would spend half your life queuing. And then outside Disney World, Florida is just like the rest of America, only hotter and with more old people. Dreaming of escaping there is like looking forward to retiring to the south coast of England only to find that all the B&Bs do social security claimants and the place is clogged with junkies.
Tracey Whalin is only the latest of millions to have discovered that escaping to Florida cannot suspend the laws of inevitable disappointment. What makes her story so compelling is the contrast between the idea of disappearing in a "clean break" and the reality of being charged with assault on an under-age boy. As summer begins in earnest, it is only human to dream of escape. But it is only real life to wake up in leg-irons.

Let me go over an interesting set of events here.
About a month ago, I was on the nordic kink meme directory, when I came across a familliar request: one involving Tino, Eduard, and a dress, which I had requested over a year earlier. I was confused to see that it said it was filled, because I had yet to see anything written for it.
Imagine my surprise, then, to find that it had not only been filled, but that the fill had been written the day before my birthday.
I was going to comment on the fic where it was posted, but sadly, it had maxed out already, leaving me unable to do so.
And so, now that I've found it here, I will express my gratitude. Thank you for filling my prompt. I'm so glad someone decided it was worth their time.
I love your description of the dress, and the combination of things that lead to the incident.
...I also wonder whether Eduard WOULD have looked better if his hair were a little longer... (is it bad that I want him to try on a wig now? XD)
| froyozensight chapter 1 . 8/11/2010
lol 3 That was amazing.
| IceSnowAndGlamour chapter 1 . 2/10/2010
All those times of being called a wife must get crossdressing on Tino's brain XD I guess he's not as innocent as he looks...
Eduard is so funny in this...he's unusually calm :D I want to see him wear the pretty dress XD
Nice story, very funny!
| Doesn't-Have-An-Account Person chapter 1 . 2/8/2010
Poland can wear something like that because he's fabulous! Sorry Estonia, but you just don't cut it.
Actually, I really want to wear that dress now. It was Poland's dress.
If this is what happens when friends and alcohol mix, I'm not sure if I want to mix alcohol and friends. Except, well, we've already had a crossdressing party while sober, so now I'm more scared.
But Fin-fin and Eesti are such good friends! I always like reading crazy friendship stories about them _

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 22, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung p Sunday, June 22, 1997Q3ANeighborhood mom has a few rules to share with readers DEAR ABBY: I have two children of my own, but some days I feel as though I have IO or 12. There are many children in the neighborhood where I live. The following is some information for my neighbors. I call it the Common Rules of Parental Etiquette: 1. I am not the neighborhood baby sitter. Sending your children to my house for several hours does not absolve you of the responsibility of checking on your children on a regular basis. 2. Please do not allow your children to pick the flowers I took the time and money to plant. If your children come home with flowers plucked from someone else's garden, explain to them the dishonesty of their act, even Tobacco deal needs approval of Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — Anti-smoking forces wrested concessions from the tobacco industry in a landmark multibillion-dollar settlement, but they know their battle is not yet won. Congress and President Clinton still can reject all or part of the $360 billion agreement — greeted Friday with mostly cautious reserve. "We could be in a position of rejecting it or accepting it. I haven't seen it yet," Clinton said in Denver. He noted, however, that "an enormous amount of money" had been wrung from the tobacco companies. The agreement, negotiated for months by state attorneys general, health advocates, trial lawyers and cigarette makers, would make tobacco companies change how their products are advertised, sold and >, exchange, the industry would get what its investors crave: key relief from lawsuits and legal bills. In a statement, the tobacco industry called the proposal "a bitter pill," but said the companies preferred the plan to a continuation of the decades-long controversy over smoking. But even as anti-smoking advocates announced the agreement with fanfare in a hotel ballroom, a man dragged heavily on a cigar in the lobby. And in the tobacco country of North Carolina, Sarah Ablang puffed on a cigarette outside a Raleigh office building. "They can do whatever they want. It doesn't affect me," she said. "I know the dangers of smoking. It's my choice to smoke." The agreement calls for tough new warnings on cigarette packs, such as "Smoking can kill you," and would give smokers free medical help to quit. The government also could lower the permissible level of nicotine in cigarettes. And tobacco ads would change dramatically: no more billboards or splashy color spreads in magazines that critics said were targeted at teenagers. ; "With the agreement, Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man will move to the same chapter of our nation's history as asbestos," said Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth. Under the settlement, the industry would pay $360 billion over 25 years, mostly to finance antismoking campaigns and repay state Medicaid money spent treating sick Smokers — the reason 40 states sued. : After that, the industry would Continue to pay $15 billion every year. ; Sick smokers could still sue the industry. ! Any money they won for medical bills, lost wages or other "actual damages" would be paid from a $5-billion-a-year fund set up by the tobacco industry. Smokers also could win punitive damages for future wrongdoing by tobacco companies. Individual smokers, though, could not sue for punitive damages for any past misconduct by tobacco companies. Instead, as punishment for all past wrongdoing, the settlement includes a $50 billion tobacco industry fund, part of that to provide health care for uninsured children. sax though it seems like a sweet thing for them to have done. And, by the way, since I'm the only one with certain varieties of flowers in my garden, pleading ignorance as to where they came from won't work. Also, breaking down my bushes and plants with balls and bats is not acceptable. 3. Foisting your children off on me for several hours and then, later the same day, refusing to allow my child into your home to play because "my child already has a friend over" doesn't work for me. It also sets the wrong example for your child. The message it gives is: "You can use anyone you want and not give anything in return." 4. Memorial Day, Labor Day and Fourth of July mean picnics and parties for family and friends. If I'm having a party and your child wasn't invited, please keep him home! Last year, I spent the Fourth of July with three stray children who were eating food and drinking beverages my friends brought for our picnic. 5. lf your child asks to eat at my home or go somewhere with me, please have the courtesy to check with me to be sure an invitation was extended. Yes, I heard your child yell across the street and ask if it was OK to eat at my house. And yes, I heard you say it was OK. However, I didn't hear you ask me if I had invited her. Well, guess what? I didn't. My child didn't either. So your child was sent home. 6. In my home, no one, child or adult, gets anything without a "please" and "thank you." That is, of course, common courtesy, but it doesn't seem to be an important lesson in some homes. 7. Your children are welcome to play in my yard if everyone gets along, if there is no bad language or name-calling, and if you take a turn having them play in your yard. I have no grass in my yard now due to baseball games, and my flower beds are destroyed. And every child playing at my home has an excuse why they can't lay at their own house. 8. Oh yes — don't forget those slightly older children. Parents, how about keeping an eye on them to make sure they aren't bullying the younger kids? Guess what, they are! They push them down, hit them, call them names and, by the way, their language is disgusting. So, don't get angry and call me when your child is sent home. You'll get an earful you might not like. Please don't get me wrong, Abby. I like children. I want my children to have friends over and enjoy themselves. And we have some wonderful neighbors for whom we'd do almost anything. I am, however, appalled at the lack of respect on the part of so many parents and children in our neighborhood. Sorry this is so long, but I needed to address this issue since others have relayed the same kind of stories to me. Oh, and by the way — dog owners, just because I have a dog doesn't mean it's OK if your soils my yard. But that's another letter... NOT EVERYONE'S MOM IN HARRISBURG, PA. DEAR NOT EVERYONE'S MOM: I have printed your letter in its entirety. It should be bronzed and placed on front doors in more neighborhoods than I can count, because the problems you have addressed have been voiced by countless parents. You are right on the money. Illegal immigrants rounded up From staff reports The Immigration and Naturalization Service rounded up 321 illegal immigrants Friday from a three-county area including Comal County, according to a San Antonio Express-News report. A few of them might be housed at the Comal County jail, a frequent stopping point for illegal aliens on their way out of Texas, according to Comal County Sheriffs Sergeant Kermit Vetter. "They did bring eight of them in here for us to house over the weekend," Vetter said, "but I don't know where the apprehensions happened." The only information local jail officials are given is the date of birth, name, an immigration control identification number, and nationality, Vetter said. INS officers call the sheriff's office almost daily to check how much room the jail has, Vetter said. "They bring us some just about every day, then take some away for trials." A smaller scale local INS sweep caught several illegal aliens late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, Vetter said. "I had a number of calls looking for people who were picked up at the Rosedale Apartments," he said. Area sheriffs officers did not play a part in Friday's sweep. The sheriffs office contracts with the INS to house illegal aliens, but does not participate in their capture, Sheriff Bob Holder said. "They're enforcing federal law — we don't have anything to do with that," he said. J*.

HAUS RESTAURANT Senior's & Children's Menu Open every day for lunch and dinner! "Es Schmeckt Gut/" (210) 625-3280 EL PASO (AP) — As Congress moved toward using more soldiers along the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said they will seek a murder charge against a Marine suspected of killing a teen-ager in a border confrontation. Texas Rangers Capt. Barry Caver said the indictment will be sought against Marine Cpl. Clemente Banuelos, who allegedly shot and killed 18-year-old Ezequiel Hernandez last month. Lesser charges will be sought against the three other Marines who were on patrol with Banuelos on May 20, Caver said in Saturday's El Paso Times. Military officials said a member of the four-man surveillance team shot Hernandez after the teen fired twice at the Marines, who were watching a suspected drug route at the request of the Border Patrol. The military maintains Hernandez raised his .22-caliber rifle for a third shot when the Marine opened fire. It argued the shooting was self-defense. State investigators said evidence gathered so far reveals discrepancies in the military's version of the events in Redford, a farming community Hernandez's death and to renew calls to keep the military away from the border. But even as protesters hoisted signs urging an end to "Military Terror Against Civilians," the U.S. House approved a measure that could station up to 10,000 troops along the border to help stop illegal immigration and drug traffic. Recently Moved? Getting Married? New Baby? Give us a call! 200 miles southeast of El Paso. Caver said the angle of the teen's wound indicates Hernandez was aiming away from the Marines, who were fully camouflaged. The teen's family has said he sometimes shot at targets with a rifle he carried to protect his goats. Chief investigator David Duncan said the Marines waited 22 minutes after the shooting before giving first aid or calling for help. He said he didn't know if the delay might have played a role in the death. Investigators also have obtained subpoenas for three officials with Joint Task Force Six, a military agency that coordinates anti-drug missions involving the armed forces and civilian authorities. In Washington and outside El Paso's federal building, there were small rallies to commemorate the one-month anniversary of I have not the power to fully thank all the generous people who have assisted and supported me through my entire academic, sport, and higher learning experiences.

Hi all i have been in a dilemma about continuing in my school lately but i think i kind of sort out my thinking. But i am in a huge problem not currently i am in YJC and i have take the subject combination of H2 Geography Economics and English literature and H1 math. I kinda of like the combi but i realise i have very little option in uni courses so i want to appeal combination to H2 Math Chem Econs and h1 Physics. Although i like geography but if it means that i can have more options in uni i would not mind taking other subjects. My o level results are
B3-Eng,Comb sci(phy,chem),Comb humans(ss,lit),MT,POA
A1-E math
I know it is recommended that i take h1 math and arts but i really will put in the effort to do well as long as i have the chance. But i do not really know how to approach this problem. I have approach my form teacher she said she try help but i hope fellow ppl in the forum can really help gimme advice on what to do.
Appealing Subject combination
Is there life after O/A-Levels? Definitely! How well a person does in tertiary education is correlated with job opportunities open to the person. Discuss issues pertaining to nstitutes of higher learning here.

One of the most enjoyable things to me about having a cottage has been renovating and decorating it. The cottage was in poor condition and we (by we, I mean Mike) gutted it, raised the ceiling to make a cathedral ceiling, sheet-rocked, built cabinets, and so much more. I helped where I could and did much of the painting. We spent little on the decor, shopping at garage sales, dumpster diving and accepting the many beautiful gifts that friends offered. Here are a few photos – hope you enjoy.
The two little bedrooms were a bit of a mess today, so no photos for now. Hope you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again!

I've tried several cleaners for different rooms in the house. With this spray I keep everything clean and the smell is not too strong. Favorite places for use are bathroom and kitchen. Works great first spray coat area and let sit a few minutes, spray again, wipe and done.
wow this stuff works and super quick! I like the smell of the bleach....seems clean! And not expensive at all
Having kids and pets running all over, inside and out, having a cleaner with bleach, all in one, takes the worry about what their little hands, feet and paws leave behind, Off my mind. An awesome product that gets the job done. FAST!!

Chris Dalby is hosting the Live Meeting User Group meeting on the 24th January – as it's online you can of course access it from wherever in the World you are located – simply register ahead of time to join the meeting which takes place at 4pm GMT.
Mark Deakin (from Microsoft) is the guest speaker and he'll be introducing one of our coolest devices – Microsoft Roundtable. The meeting will also cover the following:
- What's new in Live Meeting 2007?
- Different types of meetings and events
- Viewing and creating events
- Creating custom registration pages and surveys
- Using content to engage participants
- An introduction to Round Table
Here's an image of a Microsoft Roundtable device – looks kind of alien to me.
Have you ever joined a remote meeting and struggled to keep track of who's talking, who's in the meeting and what on Earth is going on? I know I have. Microsoft Roundtable is tasked with solving this problem!
Roundtable is cool as it makes meetings much more fun and (probably more importantly) you are able to see who's speaking at any point in time as their image is brought into prominence as they do so. The device in conjunction with either Office Communications Server 2007 or Office Live Meeting 2007 takes panoramic video and audio of all participants. When watching a recorded meeting you are able to filter out the content to a subset of the speakers if you wish too. The Microsoft Roundtable area of the Microsoft website includes a wealth of information including the product datasheet.
The challenge is getting hold of one…

|Reviews for Til it's Gone
| Crow's Talon chapter 1 . 12/29/2013
I love the way you write the relationship between Harvey and Gilda here - you nail the personalities of both characters, and I especially love the way you write Harvey. The dialogue between them is realistic, flows very well, and I love the way you get into the minds and emotions of the characters. I especially love the language between Harvey and Gilda, which fits them both so well. The use of time adds a lot to this piece, and there's a real feel of loss and pain here as Harvey's and Gilda's lives change. All the little details add up beautifully - I especially liked the encyclopedia and the books that Gilda reads.
Congratulations - this is an excellent story and a great read. I really enjoyed it.

Dear Lord, was that sad. And beautiful. I love your snarky, violent "Squishykins" stories, then you write something like this, that grabs you right in the heart. Thank you.

On Monday night, the radio equivalent to the Oscars or the BAFTAS took place when the 27th annual Sony Radio Academy Awards were held at London's Grosvenor House Hotelhosted by Radio 2's Chris Evans. The event was covered simultaneously by a live webcast hosted by Richard Allinson and Margherita Taylor.
Some of the more unlikely winners came from the commercial radio sector where Beacon Radio, Kerrang 105.2 rocks and Fun Kids won 3 of 5 most prestigious station of the Year Awards.
Nicky Campbell and Shelagh Fogerty won the blue riband 'Breakfast Show of the Year Award' for 5Live Breakfast while the 5Live station had additional success with 5 other gold awards including The Speech Awards for Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode and various awards for their Olympic coverage. Christian O'Connell picked up Absolute Radio's first Sony Gold for The Live Event Coverage Award.
BBC Radio Scotland's grand dame of broadcasting, Edi Stark, carried off The News Special Award and first-time nominee, Radio 5 live's Gavin Lee, was awarded The News Journalist of the Year.
Chris Evans took time out from hosting the evening's proceedings, to win Golds for The Music Radio Personality of the Year and The Entertainment Award and for the first time Radio 3 was proclaimed UK Station of the Year, triumphing over Classic FM and Radio 1.
Two of London's most 'opinionated' broadcasters found favour, with LBC's Nick Ferrari anointed The Speech Broadcaster of the Year, leaving Radio 4's Evan Davis with Silver; and Vanessa Feltz of BBC London 94.9 winning her first Sony Gold for The Speech Radio Personality of the Year.
On a night when so many of Speakers Corner's favourite personalities were winners, it was also great to see some familiar faces presenting the awards with many other awards hosts, facilitators, after dinner speakers and comedians stepping up to hand out the awards to the lucky winners. These included the likes of Kirsty Gallacher, Christine Ohuruogo MBE, Donal MacIntyre, Frank Skinner, Polly Toynbee, Kate Thornton, Jon Culshaw, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Kate Adie OBE

Morning Platinum Market Report
The platinum market has consolidated above this week's early lows and may have established a trading range above the $1,800 level. Like gold and silver, platinum may be facing precarious market conditions, as rising fears of margin-related selling from equities may have replaced the typical flight to quality standing of platinum. Euro zone Industrial Production during July was up 1.0%, lower than forecasts and may provide a strong indication of weaken industrial platinum demand from the Euro zone.

Yoshihiro stared at the paper figure.
"Whaa.. Howw....?" He staggered backward in disbelief.
Then it dawned on him. This was the missing empress from the display case! If he was caught with it, he could be in big trouble. He didn't care too much for his life at the moment, but at least he wasn't in jail.
He ran to the door and opened it just enough to stick his head out. He looked both ways to see if there was anyone in the hallway that might have seen him come in. No one, good.
He had to figure out a way to get it back in the case. It was solid Plexiglas. Maybe he'd just sneak in early and put it in front of the display, and sneak back out. He turned around to go back to the bed.
It was gone! He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes till he could see stars, but when he opened them again, the paper figure was still.. gone.
He didn't know what to do. There were no windows in this tiny dorm room, and there was no closet to hide in, so where did the empress go?
He got down on his stomach and peered under the bed. Nothing but dust bunnies. He looked in all the drawers of his bureau, but she wasn't there either. He didn't know what to do.
He laid down on the bed, his head spinning. What should he do now? If the empress had been stolen out of his room, then it was out of his hands, but there was no way that it could have been stolen. He had been right here with the figure the whole time. No one could have got past him.
He fell into a fitful doze. he had the weirdest dream. He saw the paper empress approach the display case from the outside, and meld herself through the Plexiglas. She then lifted her paper skirts and mounted the bottom tier of the display.
She slowly climbed to the top, with Samurai warriors and courtiers alike, kneeling at her approach. When she reached the top, she knelt before the emperor and kissed his hand. Then she rose and took her place beside him.
Yoshihiro woke up and shook the moth balls out of his brain. What a weird dream! He sat up, and felt something hard at the back of his knees. It was his closed notebook. He opened it up to the middle, but there was no sign of a paper empress ever having been there.
He went to his bureau to get a wash cloth and towel. He'd have to go down the hall to the shared bathroom and wash his face. As he reached out to open the first drawer, he noticed the ticket for the museum on top of the bureau. It looked to be the very same ticket that he had handed in at the entrance to the museum.
He was so confused! Did he already go to the museum or not? Did Kathy tell him off today or not? What day was this? Was going to the museum a dream? Or was he in a dream right now? He just didn't know.

Photo's galoreMature
Although she seemed reluctant at first, Alex seemed to really get in to the swing of things with the photo shoot. She posed, pulled faces adn laughed a lot. I found myself really enjoying the whole time I was taking the photos.
When I'd finished I looked through the photos on my laptop, picking out the best ones and putting them up on a slideshow to show Alex. She wandered over and stood behind me to watch. The first three were her sat on the stool, grinning, laughing and twirling her hair. The next ones were her pulling dramatic faces against the wall. And the final one was an over the shoulder picture where she wasn't looking at the camera, I'd caught her off guard.
"What do you think?" I asked, turning on my stool to face her.
"They're amazing. Thank you, so much." She hugged me and then stood back, staring at the pictures. "I really want the last one."
"I'll print it for you, as my gift."
"Thanks so much Will." Her gaze shifted slightly and she bit her lip in a smile.
"I forgot to tell you, I saw Will this morning." I felt my face cloud over.
"How was his nose?"
"Let's just say you have a great punch. It looks worse now I hit it too."
"You hit him? Why?"
"He was calling you a bitch, and saying stuff."
"Thanks. Feels good doesn't it?"
"Yeah, it kinda does." I grinned and then turned to pack away my laptop.
"Right, let's go to our room, and I can get this printed for you."
The photo printed perfectly, and I presented it to Alex proudly. She thanked me again and hung it on her wall.
I was laying on my bed listening to my music when Alice rang.
"Hey babe, I'm looking forward to your visit tomorrow!"
"Me too. Will you come meet me off the train? Twelve?"
"Yeah sure. I'd better get a kiss."
"Of course. I love you."
"Love you too."
"Well I have to go to bed, else I won't be up in time to catch the train."
"Alright, sleep well gorgeous."
"Sleep well sweetie."
I hung up and put my phone down. Alex looked up from her work.
"That was your girlfriend right?"
"Yeah. I can't wait for you to meet her." She nodded and turned back to her work. "Hey, is that important?"
"No, not really."
"Come on then. Let's play truth or dare. Then we'll find out things about each other easily."
"Oh, ok, sounds cool." I grinned and moved over so she could sit on my bed facing me.
"You start." Her lips pursed in thoughtfulness as she pondered what to ask me.

Here is an alternative graph you could consider:

sysuse nlsw88, clear
//estimate the model
glm wage c.ttl_exp##c.ttl_exp##c.grade##c.grade ///
i.race south hours union, ///

// predict wage

_marg_save, saving(`marg')
use `marg'
// graph wage
twoway contour _marg _at1 _at2, ///
ccuts(0(1)14) xlab(0(5)15) ylab(0(5)25) ///
plotregion(margin(zero)) name(pred, replace)
// that graph looks pretty, but beware:
// it contains quite a few extrapolations to
// areas where there is no data
sysuse nlsw88
scatter ttl_exp grade, xlab(0(5)15) ylab(0(5)25) ///
name(scatter, replace)
*--------------------- end example ------------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq )
I learned this from Bill R.
Notice that you are not using an OLS but a linear regression model;
the former is the algorithm used to compute the coefficients, the
later is the model.
Also notice that it is usually a bad idea to use linear regression on
a log transformed dependent variable. Much better to use -glm- with

We've had theme threads for trees, leaves, the JMT, fish, dogs, other critters, lakes, heavy packers…. but I didn't see any for weirdly-shaped rocks. So let's have one.

Well, it's not from a backpacking trip but here is a snap I took of the iconic rectangular boulder from the West Fork Oak Creek trail in Sedona while on a day hike.
Cool idea.
This one seems mandatory…

Somewhere near Morningstar Lake, Glacier National Park.

Seattle is basically built on a pile of glacial till. I live on a 300' hill that is topped with hard packed silt left by the last glacier about 14,000 years ago. This huge erratic known as Wedgwood Rock is about a mile from my house.

From the Rim of the Gap trail in South Carolina…
How would you like to have been standing on the trail when this sucker broke loose and rolled down the hill?!?
From the Middle Fork of Taylor Creek in Kolob Canyons.

@bluewaterLocale: SoCal

Out here in WASHington, we like our boulders clean, so we park them in rivers :)
We were day hiking in the rain and the trail met the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River to give this downstream view of river, rocks and mist.

@bobmny10562Locale: Westchester County, NY
I didn't realize until later that the big boulder on the right actually has a name.
Equal parts boulder, water and trees… a great place to stick one's hot feet into some cool water.

@rlnunixLocale: Rockies
I like these from Lost Creek Wilderness.
From the Winds.
