Kolkata: Union minister Babul Supriyo was on Wednesday caught in a skirmish between Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers in Asansol town of West Bengal.
Tension started to build from Tuesday when Supriyo stopped a number of cattle traders and handed them over to the police for not being able to produce necessary documents, the MP said in television interviews.
The unrest on Wednesday started after a BJP worker was assaulted by TMC supporters. Supriyo said cattle traders were illegally dealing in livestock with the support of a local TMC leader. Things came to a head when Supriyo became the target of stone-pelting. He was rescued by the police.

This figure is incredibly decaled. I love it. I think they used the same shotgun from the NMPD customizer pack though. Love the graphics on the fig and an Overall Five Stars.
This guy is my favorite of the third heroes line. Hoya has fantastic paint applications and a great new mold with the operator armor. I always look forward to what fireteam majestic member mega bloks will add next and I am certainly not disappointed this time around!

Re: [mythsoc] Re: religion in Tolkien
Belated thanks to David, Sarah, William, John, and anyone else I've missed who helped put my question in perspective for my upcoming panel on Tolkien at World Fantasy. Between your suggestions and what I've read in Tolkien's letters I feel like I'm (hopefully) armed to say some relevant things.
Ellen Denham
If we're going to respond to Lin Carter - which I am about to do at
considerable length - we need to have at hand what he actually said.
Carter's contentious comments on religion in Tolkien appeared only briefly
in his 1969 book on Tolkien, which was focused on placing LOTR in the
context of the history of fantasy literature, rather than on evaluating
Tolkien's work. But his 1973 book _Imaginary Worlds_ was a history of
fantasy, and its view of Tolkien was focused on evaluating his achievement
in that context. LOTR had been so widely praised that Carter felt there was
room to emphasize what he saw as the book's flaws, and one of the things he
said was this: When he writes that "Tolkien's world has no religion in it,"
Iluvatar and the Valar don't count.
"That is not what I am talking about," he writes. "A religion is much more
than just the presence of an actual god, or gods; it is also an established
canon of inspired writings and an organized priesthood, a system of temples
and shrines, and so on." Medieval societies of the kind Tolkien used as
models had such an organized religion, he says, and other fantasies inspired
by them have had them to. Then he gives a long list of examples, from Conan
the Barbarian on up. "But there is no religion at all in _The Lord of the
Rings_ - no temples, shrines, priests, prayers, amulets, scriptures, ikons,
idols - _nothing!_ None of the many characters, not even the heroic
warriors, so much as swears by his gods. Obviously because they _have_ no
gods. Which is simply incredible in a primitive world of wizards and
warriors and walled stone cities." (Imaginary Worlds, p. 122-24)
The first thing that occurs to me to say in response to this is, "By
Elbereth and Luthien the Fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!"
which is what Frodo says to the Nazgul at the Ford of Bruinen. Luthien, or
even Elbereth, may not technically be gods, but from a Catholic author they
are definitely serving the function of angels or saints in this context.
Anyway, so much for characters not swearing by them. There are other
examples; this one is particularly memorable.
Secondly, Carter has a rather limited idea of what an organized religion
requires. The medieval Norse, for instance, did not have any canon of
inspired writings that we know of. Their legends and poems about the gods
and heroes were neither canonized nor considered sacred texts the way we
consider the Bible. The Jews, after the fall of the Temple, simply
abandoned the heriditary priesthood that had served them before that; even
today, rabbis are not really "clergy" in the sense that Christians use that
word; a rabbi is a learned man, not a priest. Some Asian religions, I
believe, do without temples and shrines, and the diaspora Jews also rank low
on that scale.
The peoples of Middle-earth, however, do have some of the "and so on" which
Carter doesn't enumerate. If they don't have a canonized scripture, they do
have the kind of stories of the gods and heroes of the past that customarily
appear in scriptures, even a creation myth (though Carter didn't have access
to this one, as it first appeared in _The Silmarillion_ which hadn't been
published when he wrote). They have some rituals, notably the moment of
silence before eating that Faramir and his men perform at Henneth Annun.
This, Faramir explains, is a gesture of respect towards Eldamar and Valinor,
so they also have a holy place. They have funerary customs and respect the
dead, a common religious practice. And, as Carter would say, so on.
What they have more than any of this, however, are aspects of religion that
are not dreamt of in Carter's philosophy. These are the moral and spiritual
content of religious belief, which underlie every action the admirable
characters take, and indeed drive the whole plot, because it is a spiritual
concern to rid the world of an evil menace, and not a practical
consideration to defeat the bad guy in the black hat, that inspires the
decision to destroy the Ring, rather than - as practical men like Boromir
would prefer - use it. I hardly need to go into this here, as so many
authors have done so brilliantly. The best source for this purpose is
Richard Purtill's _Lord of the Elves and Eldils_, because like Carter he was
writing before _The Silmarillion_ and proves his case, rather dazzlingly,
from LOTR alone. (Ellwood's _Good News from Middle-earth_, the other
pre-Silmarillion religious study of Tolkien, is a hunt for Christ figures
and new-age woo-woo, and even if you want such things, would not be suitable
for countering Carter.) Of more recent books on Tolkien's religious
dimension that consider the posthumous writings, I'd say the best ones which
still focus mostly on LOTR are _The Battle for Middle-earth_ by Fleming
Rutledge and _Following Gandalf_ by Matthew Dickerson. (The Birzer and
Caldecott books mentioned by others are OK, but these are much better.)
So the answer to Carter is that he's framed his question wrongly - what
Tolkien lacks is not religion, it's colorful religious trappings - and even
taken as Carter frames it, his charge is not entirely true. But
nevertheless, his observations are not entirely hallucinatory, so we can
also raise the questions of whether what he sees is, as he claims, "simply
incredible," and of why Tolkien writes it this way. But these are further
observations on the topic, not directly answers to Carter, because they
attempt only to explain the case; they don't answer it.
>From an external, author-based perspective, we can say that Tolkien couldn't
have his pre-Christian characters be Christians, for obvious chronological
reasons, but he didn't want to have them worshipping false gods, so he made
them the virtuous pagans of (mostly hypothetical) Christian theology. Some
of the authors on religion in Tolkien go into this point.
>From an internal, character-based perspective, though, there's an answer so
breath-taking that, again, it is not dreamt of in Carter's philosophy. The
reason his pagan warriors don't worship false gods is that, through the
Elves, and they through the Valar, have unfiltered access to the truth about
the spiritual universe. (The truth as Tolkien sees it, of course, but as an
author he has the right to make his Catholic theology the unfettered truth
within his own fiction.) They don't need false gods; they have the real
God. They don't need priests and rituals and so on; they have a closeness
to the divine that few today are fortunate enough to experience. That
palpable sense is part of what makes LOTR such an inspiring book.
That's what I would say if I were on Ellen's panel, and I hope it helps.
David Bratman

A Manhunt Manifesto
In Benjamin Runkles new book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts From Geronimo to Bin Laden, he tries to bring to light not just the most wanted men in U.S. history, but also the soldiers who hunted them down. While much of this history has been covered, Runkles spin adds a new layer to the manhunt chronicle.
In the introduction to his book, Runkle describes his reasoning as follows: It is ironic and tragic that, although the individuals targeted by U.S. forces are often sanitized and romanticized by history, the quiet professionals who protect us are often forgotten. The book certainly falls into the realm of obscure military strategy, which makes sense, since Runkle was a former paratrooper and presidential speechwriter and has worked in the Department of Defense and the National Security Council. But he also does a solid job of stringing along a narrative about the hunts for the likes of bin Laden, Emilio Aguinaldo, Pancho Villa and others that allows for a broad readership.
Runkle will read from Wanted Dead or Alive at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch, 9315 Dorchester Street, tonight at 7:30 p.m.; admission is free. For more information, visit www.tatteredcover.com or call 303-470-7050.

The health of the former Israeli Prime Minister Arial Sharon is deteriorating further, in a situation that hospital staff said does not "give good signs for the future".
The director of the hospital treating the 85-year-old has confirmed that Mr Sharon's key organs continued to decline on Friday, but he is not in pain.
He is currently surrounded by his family who were called to his bedside yesterday.
Dr Zeev Rotstein, the director of Tel Hashomer hospital where he has been treated for the past eight years, said Mr Sharon's life remains in dangers and that "there is a slow and gradual deterioration" in his condition, including multi-organ failure.
Test results also show that Mr Sharon also has a blood infection.
Mr Sharon has been in a coma for eight years after he suffered an incapacitating stroke at the peak of his career.
After initially spending months in a Jerusalem hospital, Sharon was transferred to the long-term care facility at Tel Hashomel. He was taken home briefly at one point but was returned several days later to the hospital, where he has been in a persistent vegetative state since.
"Looking at the trend of deterioration, it doesn't give us good signs for the future," Dr Rotstein said, adding that Mr Sharon: "is fighting like a real fighter, as he did all his life."
During his tenure as one of Israel's most famous former generals, Mr Sharon was known for bold his tactics and an occasional refusal to obey orders.
As a politician, he earned the nickname "the bulldozer" as he was seen as being contemptuous of critics while capable of getting things done.
Elected as prime minister in 2001, by mid-2005 he had directed a unilateral withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip, which ended a 38-year-long military control of the territory.
He later bolted from his hard-line Likud Party and established the centrist Kadima Party.
It seemed he was on his way to an easy re-election when he suffered the stroke in January 2006.

BeschreibungEmilio is not just the new kid on the block, he's new to the entire country. He and his family have just come from Central America to Houston, and everything is terribly different in the big city -- unlike anything he had ever imagined. Uncomfortable with his looks, his size, his unfamiliarity with everything, Emilio shrinks into the shadows in his classes. He does find friends among other immigrants, and he tries to keep out of the way of the rough crowd. But only when his teacher introduces him to the world of numbers does he begin to find himself. Yet there is danger even in embracing the world of math studies, too, and Emilio once again faces hardship and isolation. Emilio is a tale of overcoming fear of the unknown to adapt and prevail over circumstances through will and perseverance. As Emilio makes his own way in this new world, his trials, failures, and successes become a model for all young readers who would accept and embrace responsibility for their own lives.

Soon after it started, an error message came up saying that there was a problem with the keyboard, (we had already gotten the hp quicklinks driver updated and off the conflicts list however), but it continued on. It hung up twice during the install but this was remedied by ejecting and reinserting the disc. At the very end, (100% transferring/restoring files, last step), everything was copacetic, it finished restarting for the third time, (not in a row, but during the entire upgrade process), and once again declared that the upgrade wasn't successful and that it was restoring previous settings. It is still in that process as I'm typing. What went wrong this time? No explanation, no warning, just gives up after completing the entire installation. We cannot clean install as it is only an upgrade disc. How the hell do I get this thing to work? Three days and many hours spent on this are looking more and more pointless.

Alliance Capital Marketing Chief Gains Mileage by Spoofing Traditional Ads
June 7, 1999
When Richard Khaleel joined Alliance Capital Management of New York as head of marketing in 1996, he set to work further distancing the company from the use of standard investment company advertising images.
The company, in 1995, had already moved away from ads such as that of an elderly, retired couple, walking along a beach or otherwise enjoying the good life, thanking their broker for making it all possible. Alliance had begun adding humorous touches and Khaleel advanced the process with the introduction of parodies of traditional advertising.
The introduction of the company's "Extreme Measures" advertising campaign in March 1998, developed by Khaleel, was another step in the company's advertising evolution.
Alliance's newest batch of television commercials includes one of a classic scene, but with a touch of gallows humor. A retired couple is walking peacefully along a beach with their son, only to tell him he is written out of their will since he had failed to plan for his own retirement. The voiceover message is: "Don't be caught unprepared."
In the ads, Alliance shows what terrible things can happen if a person fails to invest for retirement, but with a humorous twist that takes the edge off what could be construed as negative messages, Khaleel said.
Other commercials in the campaign include a father on a fishing trip with his son, saying that it is "time to get a job" since daddy lost money in the stock market; a husband revealing to his pregnant wife that they need to pick a good lottery number since he mishandled the family nest egg; a young mother informing grandpa he has to move out because "we can't afford you and the baby."
For the past two years, the firm's commercials have been directed by Gregory Hoblit, director of the TV shows "NYPD Blue" and "LA Law" and the feature film "Primal Fear." Hoblit is the originator of the "shaky camera" style. The ad agency, Ferrell Calvillo of New York, has developed the ads.
On May 5, the Extreme Measures television ads won the Financial Communications Society's Portfolio Award for best corporate image television campaign. Alliance has received awards from the society four out of the last five years.
"Humor has a tremendous confidence to it," said Khaleel, 48. "The humor of a leader really does exude confidence and I guess that's what we're going for.
"It's really exposing people's worst fears in a humorous way, that somehow they're not going to be prepared," Khaleel said of the approach. "That way it becomes a very strong marketing message because it's not just humor for the sake of humor. It's humor in the sense of exposing something that we don't want you to do."
"Rich attempted to do the unfathomable: show the negative with a solution," said Duff Ferguson, assistant vice president and director of public relations for Alliance.
Khaleel started his career with large advertising agencies, marketing packaged goods. In that capacity, he took part in a number of high-profile projects like Chase's "Better Banking" campaign of the late 1980s. Before joining Alliance, he was head of marketing and technology at NBC cable and was instrumental in promoting the launch of CNBC.
The current commercial campaign maintains Alliance's long-standing emphasis on selling mutual funds, with loads, through the "advice channel" of brokers and investment advisors, Khaleel said. All of the ads recommend the use of advisors.
There have been three major campaigns over the past four years, each using more humorous scenarios than the last.
Initially, the ads sought to respond to the no-load fund companies who were debunking load fund companies, saying, "you don't need an advisor," Khaleel said. In 1995, prior to Khaleel's arrival, the message from Alliance was "Don't Do it Yourself." One commercial showed a man cutting his own hair, a metaphor for the do-it-yourself investor who eschews getting advice.
The next campaign, in 1996, the first one overseen by Khaleel, advised consumers "Don't let this Happen to You" and included a commercial of an older couple who could not afford to retire because they did not have enough savings. In one, the husband tells his wife that they can not retire. He then suggests that perhaps he could mow lawns and that she could take a second job to make ends meet.
The 1996 ads were part of a branding effort that Alliance started in that year to improve its image among broker/dealers.
Print ads that Khaleel has devised have also been amusing. During the market downturn last fall, some ads led with the opposite message of what Alliance really wanted to convey to the public. In 80-point type the headlines read: "Cash In," "Sell Low," "Don't Invest," "Call a Psychic" and Khaleel's favorite, "Broker Shmoker." In smaller print, below the headlines, the ads explain why such strategies are faulty.

On Wednesday, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announced that she was stepping down. That prompted all sorts of Twitter snark: "we have a secretary of labor??" And so on.
But, yes, the United States does have a secretary of labor! And now is as good a time as any to look back at what the Department of Labor actually does — and how Solis has fared during her time in charge. Here's a rundown of the big, important items:
— Managing job training and other unemployment programs. The 2009 stimulus bill included $67 billion for unemployment insurance benefits, job training, and other work programs. It was the Department of Labor's job to oversee that money.
So how'd it go? During Solis's tenure, 1.7 million people completed federal job-training programs. Workers in Kansas learned how to pave highways. And so on. But it's still not clear how much good these programs accomplished. Although many economists support job-training programs in theory, it's hard to gauge the effectiveness of the stimulus specifically — few good studies exist yet. Back in 2010, a New York Times investigation found that many retrained workers were still struggling to find work.
— Enforcing wage and hour laws. Shockingly, companies don't always follow the law when it comes to paying workers' wages. That's where the Department of Labor comes in. Solis made a point of reviving this wing of the agency, using stimulus money to hire hundreds of new enforcement officers. "There's a new sheriff in town," she declared in 2009. Last year, the department's wage-and-hour division recovered some $280 million in pay for 300,000 workers, a new record.
Solis generally gets high marks for this: "Under her tenure, there was a particular emphasis on protecting the most vulnerable workers—immigrant workers, teenagers, misclassified workers," says Kate Bronfenbrenner, a labor expert at Cornell. She explains that these workers are most likely to be wrongly classified as independent contractors or shorted on wages because they're either unlikely to speak out or afraid to lose their jobs.
— Enforcing safety regulations. The Labor Department includes both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Experts say that the people in charge of these offices can make a big difference to actual workplace conditions. And the consensus is that Solis was far more aggressive than her predecessor during the George W. Bush years, Elaine Chao. For instance, BP got hit with a record $87 million fine for its role in a 2005 refinery explosion.
Not everyone was happy with Solis' record, though. Mine-safety advocates criticized MSHA's failure to enact new rules after the Upper Big Branch coal mine explosion in West Virginia, which killed 29 workers. "What regulatory scheme has grown out of Upper Big Branch that has changed mine safety?" J. Davitt McAteer, a former MSHA director told The Washington Post. "The answer is nothing."
— Setting up new workplace regulations. The Department of Labor doesn't just carry out enforcement. It also constantly puts forward new rules. That process has long been quite sluggish, and Solis didn't do much to speed it up: A recent investigation by the GAO found that OSHA takes eight years, on average, to issue a new safety rule. That's far slower than most other regulatory agencies.
But in many ways, Solis has been constrained by both the White House and Congress. A key safety rule on silica dust for miners and construction workers has been bottled up in the Office of Management and Budget since 2011. Last year, the department proposed new rules that would have prevented children from performing agricultural work deemed dangerous. But after a fierce blow-back from farm groups and the GOP, the White House backed down, and Solis eventually withdrew the rule altogether.
There's still plenty of work left for the next labor secretary. Under Solis, the department proposed a regulation that would bring 1.8 million home-care workers under federal minimum-wage and overtime rules. That has yet to be finalized.
— Regulating labor unions. The Department of Labor doesn't just regulate employers. It also regulates labor unions. And on this front, conservatives often criticized Solis for not doing nearly enough to enforce financial disclosure rules for unions. To the contrary, she pushed instead for greater financial disclosure for management consultants.
— The bully pulpit. All those things above are crucial, but the Department of Labor is still one of the lesser cabinet agencies. It doesn't have the influence or reach of, say, the Pentagon. So one mark of an effective labor secretary is his or her ability to use the bully pulpit to make labor and workplace issues more visible. "Frances Perkins was able to change the political discourse around labor under FDR," says labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein. "And, to a lesser extent, Robert Reich was able to do that [under Clinton]."
But what about Solis — the first Hispanic woman to head a Cabinet agency? Lichtenstein isn't sure that she ever really managed to break through. Solis earned plenty of press for her early promise to crack down on wage theft. "But since then, we haven't heard much from her," Lichtenstein says. "On the two biggest labor questions of the first term, card-check and Obamacare, as far as I can tell, she wasn't a major player."
So, secretary of labor is an important job. But it's also frequently a controversial one, at least as far as Congress is concerned. House Republicans passed a number of bills last session to block new Department of Labor regulations, and the agency's budget is likely to face pressure in the years ahead. That all means the confirmation hearings for Solis's replacement aren't likely to be entirely peaceful.

INQUIRING MINDSMature
Leanne stopped at Hennessey's Pub on a Friday afternoon, on her way home from work. There, she ran into Alice Tucker, her old friend from high school.
The two women exchanged several minutes of pleasant chit-chat. Then Leanne said, "So, tell me. Are you seeing anyone, these days?"
"I was. I'm sure you remember Tad Blackwell."
Leanne almost choked on her gin and tonic. She coughed and sputtered. "Of course I remember him. He took me to the prom. Tell me. Has he changed at all in the last five years?"
"Well, he takes a bath, every day, now, if that's what you mean. And he brushes his teeth. And he doesn't wear the same clothes, day in and day out."
Leanne leaned closer on her stool. She cupped her left hand to the side of her mouth, so that no one else in the crowded taproom could hear her. "Does he still--smell?"
Alice nodded. "Especially his feet."
Leanne threw back her head and laughed, causing nearly every person in the place to glance in her direction. Her hair cascaded like a waterfall over her naked shoulders.
"Remember how bad he smelled in high school?" she asked Alice.
"I know. But back then, I still thought he was cute. I would've gone out with him if he'd asked me. You have no idea how devastated I was when he asked you to the prom, instead of me. Or how jealous I was."
"You didn't get to go to the prom, did you?" Leanne asked gently.
"No," Alice said flatly.
"I'm sorry, but I hope you didn't waste any time fantasizing about what it would have been like to go to the prom with Tad. It was nothing short of a small nightmare, believe me."
"Well, if you don't mind my asking, why did you go out with him?" Alice asked. "I know it wasn't out of pity. You're not that kind of person."
"I kept waiting for Joey Duduka to ask me," Leanne said with a sigh. "But Bobbie Clemson asked him first. By then, there were only three days left. So when Tad asked me, I said, yes. I was that desperate to go to the prom...Did Tad ever go to college? I was always curious.
"He went to the community college, up in Squiresville, for about four months. He didn't finish, though. Tad's absolutely convinced that any further schooling is a waste of time and that his writing talent is going to make him rich and famous, someday. He let me read a couple of his short stories. They really were good."
"I know. He e-mailed me one of his stories."
"Did you tell him you liked it?"
"Oh, goodness, no. I was afraid that if I encouraged him, even a little, he might think it meant I was still interested in him."
"Well, he still carries a torch for you," Alice said. "And he hates Joey Duduka with a passion. He told me he wished he was man enough and strong enough to beat up Joey and make him pay for taking you away from him."
"Oh, for heaven's sake!" cried an exasperated Leanne. Her deep, husky voice turned sad and mournful. "The poor guy really isn't wired quite right, isn't he? Joey Duduka never stole me away from Tad or anyone else, although I wish he would have."
"So you still have the hots for Joey Duduka, huh?"
"Oh, yes! But he's married to Bobbie, now. The last I heard, she was expecting."
"Her first?"
"Second. They had a boy two years ago. The spitting image of his father and just as gorgeous."
"Now, calm down, girl. No use getting yourself all hot and bothered for nothing."
"Tell me about it," Leanne croaked dryly.
"Tad wants to be a father. He wants a daughter with curly, red hair and beautiful, blue eyes, just like her mother. Meaning me, of course." Alice's high-pitched voice crackled with broken laughter. "The poor guy can't even take care of himself, let alone a wife and child. He makes good money working at the post office, here in town, and yet, he can barely afford to pay his bills. The little money he has left, he spends on cigarettes and beer, and dirty movies, which he rents from that adult bookstore Goody Carlisle owns, out on the highway. That place is a blight on the entire community. I wish someone would burn it down or it would get struck by lightning, or something. Every day, after work, he stops at the 7-11 and grabs a cheese steak sandwich or a cheese burger, and a big bag of potato chips. That's his idea of proper nutrition. Whenever we went out to eat somewhere, it was always more of the same. You'd think a person would get tired of eating the same thing, day in and day out. Not Tad. 'It's my life and I'm going to live it the way I damn well please,' he says."
Alice allowed herself a moment to draw in a long, deep breath, expelling it slowly, almost reluctantly. The tiny slivers of ice at the bottom of her glass jingled gently as she downed the last lukewarm slug of her rum and Coke and set her empty glass back on the bar.
"Another one, please," she said, pointing one shor, chubby finger at her glass. Tom, the bartender, hastened to comply with her request.
"Oh, and he hates his job at the post office almost as much as he hates Joey Duduka," she told Leanne. "He complains about it constantly. I think he's getting ready to quit. I don't know what he'll do after that. I think he's expecting some kind of miracle to occur."
Leanne stirred restlessly on her stool, repositioning her elbows on the rounded edge of the bar. Her dark eyes gleamed like agates in the room's hazy light and she smiled a vulpine smile, as she stared intently at Alice, hanging on her every word. In her mind, she was writing down every word Alice said, thinking that this would make excellent material for the novel she was currently writing about life in a small town. This was exacly the kind of trashy stuff a certain portion of the population loved to read and she was more than happy to oblige them. In spades.
"How long were you with Tad?" she asked.
"A little over a year," Alice said.
"You didn't live with him, did you?"
"No. I saw right from the start that that was never going to happen. I did spend the weekends with him at his condo. But I always left early on Monday morning. Tad does like women. But at the same time, he likes being alone. He just can't seem to make up his mind which he wants more."
Leanne leaned even closer. "Please forgive me for asking this. I know how personal it is. But I just have to know. How was he in the sack?"
"That was the worst part of it," Bobbie said.
"You mean he was that bad?"
"Oh, no. On the contrary, it was the best sex I ever had in my life. Tad was kind and sweet, and gentle and tender, and so caring and sensitive. He had trouble getting started. But once I helped him get going, he was fantastic. It was never about me pleasing him, it was always about him pleasing me. And he did, too, in every possible way. But he wasn't always there. While we were doing it, I'd open my eyes and look at him. His eyes were shut and he'd have a big smile on his face. His body was there, but it seemed like the rest of him was a million miles away. I asked him, once, 'What do you think about when we're making love?' He just smiled that cute smile of his. 'Why, I think about you,' he said."
Alice sighed and shook her head. "I wanted to believe him, I really did. But somehow, I just knew there was something else there. I'd be making dinner and I'd come out of his kitchen, and he'd be watching a boxing match on television. Tad quickly grabbed the remote and changed the station, pretending he was channel surfing. He tried to act cool about it, like there was nothing wrong. But he looked red-faced and guilty like a little boy caught doing something nasty.
"One time, I walked into the bathroom, after he'd just gotten out of the shower," Alice said. "Tad was standing in front of the mirror. He had his towel draped around his shoulders. He was holding his breath, trying to make his stomach flat---he has this little paunch; not much, but it is noticeable. His hands were clenched into tight fists, just like a boxer."
"Oh, wow," Leanne gasped.
"One afternoon, not long after we started seeing each other, I decided to surprise him and clean his condo, while he was at work," Alice continued. "I found a bunch of old newspaper clippings under his bed. Stories from the sports section about local boxers. With photographs. Most of those stories had been written by you, by the way." Alice glared at Leanne with dark, accusing eyes. "The print on most of them was smudged and faded, and the paper was...had been...sticky. There were boxing magazines, too. And the pages in some of the magazines were stuck together.
"He had a sketch pad," Alice went on. "He'd sketched the photos from the articles and the magazines. And he drew his face on the boxers. In a corner of his bedroom closet, underneath an old blanket which smelled like it hadn't been washed in years, I found a pair of blue, silk boxing trunks and a pair of boxing gloves."
"Get out!" Leanne chortled. She smiled a wicked, gleeful smile. "So our Tad lives in his own little fantasyland. Tell me, dear, if it's not too painful for you. What did you do?"
"What do you think I did?" Alice huffed indignantly. "I confronted him about it. I told him there was no way I was going to be the second love in his life. It was either that garbage or me."
"And what did he say to that?"
"Nothing. But the next night, when I went to see him, all that disgusting trash was gone. Tad said he'd thrown it all out in the dumpster where it belonged. He let me check every nook and cranny of his condo. There was nothing left."
"Good for you, girl."
"It was still there, though. He still had it inside of him where I couldn't touch it and he could keep it all to himself and get it out and look at it in his mind, whenever he needed it. I waited. I hoped and I prayed. But at the end of six months, I knew he would never give it up. Not completely. That was when I finally told Tad I was leaving him.
"Tad tried to look broken-hearted, but I could see that he was relieved," Alice said. "'I'm sorry I can't be the man you want me to be,' he said. I could tell he really was sorry. But like I say, I knew he was glad it was over, so that he could finally go back to being who he really wants to be.
"Oh, you poor dear," Leanne moaned softly, placing a consoling hand on top of Alice's hand.
"Hell never change," Alice said and shook her head. She sniffed back a tear. "No matter how hard he ever tries to love someone, he'll never be able to let go og that garbage inside of him. That would kill him too much. He's like Gollum and his ring. That trash is more precious to Tad than all the gold in Fort Knox. I swear, if I ever hear that he did give it up, I'll be so amazed, I'll die right on the spot from shock."
Leanne made a great pretense of consulting her watch. Oh, my goodness, is it seven o'clock already? I really must run. It's been a long day and I'm famished and, oh, so tired. But don't you worry, dear. I jus know you'll find that special someone soon."
Leanne smiled to herself as she strode briskly out of the bar, letting the back door slam shut behind her. She almost felt guilty for leaving her old friend so abruptly. But she had suspected there was something wrong with tad Blackwell the moment he'd invited her to the prom. And now, she knew what it was.
"Better her than me," she said aloud, as she sped away in her car. It was all grist for the mill.

Yunnan, China Yunnan province, found at the southwestern most corner of China, is considered the place of origin for the tea plant. It is home to the famous Puer teas and renowned for its tremendous biodiversity, ethnic diversity and breathtaking mountainous landscape.
Puer Tea
Puer tea is named for the town of Puer where teas from the surrounding mountains were brought, pressed into bricks and cakes and sent out across the continent. Puer teas traveled as far as Tibet, Japan and Europe.
Wo Dui
To reach its destination, the tea traveled through a range of climates and weather often by horse and camelback. For this reason, Puer became known for an aged, earthy quality that it developed along the way. Nowadays, this earthy character can be encouraged by a 'Wo Dui' process. Puer tea leaves are moistened ('wo') with water and stacked ('dui') in piles to undergo a unique post fermentation giving the tea a dark, inky color and rich, smooth flavor.
Flavor Profile
A very earthy, dark, sweet, smooth infusion that gains no bitterness. Its clear aroma and brilliant red-gold infusion bring to mind the precious topaz gemstone.
Suggested Use
Steep one teaspoon in eight ounces of near boiling spring or filtered water for three minutes. Can be re-infused many times over.
100% organic puer tea leaves.

This tea is excellent. Brew it gently with water that is just at the cusp of boiling for about 3-5 minutes. Mellow and smooth with a lovely fragrance. Highly recommended for tea lovers everywhere. I bought the 'just a leaf' glass strainer (also sold on iHerb) and it looks so beautiful as it steeps. I wish I had a large glass mug so I can enjoy its color while I drink it and inhale it, too.
Good quality tea

I ordered this product because of all these talks about puer going around my friends and acquaintances. Mmm, not sure I got what I expected, but in whole the tea is rather good, and you can infuse it a couple of times for sure 'cause it's really strong. And as I said in another review, the tin is a masterpiece.

Chloe's Fairy Cottage
Nicole's story
I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada which can be a pretty wild place from an outsiders perspective. Step beyond the neon and glamour and its not much different then any other city. My love for music lead me to a 22 year career in the music business where I have owned and operated my one successful business. Four years ago I gave birth to my daughter, Chloe. This life changing event has lead me to take a different path. I want to have a business that my daughter can be an active part in, where she can learn valuable life skills and take ownership of what we create together.
I have a passion for natural health options and have been selling herbs, teas and essential oils to family and friends. Our next step is to start selling our products at farmers markets and events. Eventually we plan to open our own store.
This loan is special because:

More about this loan
Business Description
Chloe's Fairy Cottage sells herbs, herb formulas, essential oils, teas and fairy trinkets. I decided to start this business because my previous business of 22+ years is being phased out by the popularity of social media.
I chose this business because I want to make my living working with something I am passionate about while also including my daughter. My greatest challenge has been coming up with the funds to start something new when my previous source of income is diminishing. Our customers are people who are conscious about their health and prefer to use natures answers to support their health.
Our first goal is to set up at farmers markets and other events and eventually open a store. The aspect of this business that I am most proud and excited about is that I can include my daughter. She is excited! She loves working with me and helping our customers. She especially loves that I call this her business and that it is named after her. Seeing her take pride and a sense of ownership in our business makes my heart sing!
What is the purpose of this loan?
As of now we are selling our products to family and friends. We are ready to take it to the next level and start selling at Farmers Markets and events. To do this we will need a few items Business Cards: $40 Banner: $50 Flyers: $300 Table & Chairs: $120 The remaining funds will go towards our starting inventory. These purchases will allow us to start selling at farmers markets and events. By making our products available to more people in multiple locations we will be able to start making more money. My ultimate goal would be to open a store and develop online sales as well. These funds will allow me to make the first steps.
Industry: Retail
Years in operation: 6 months – 1 year
A loan of $10,000 helps Nicole purchase starting inventory to share nature's answer to medical problems.

Gravity : Season 1
- Network: Starz
- Series Premiere Date: Apr 23, 2010

- Genre(s): Drama
- Creator: Jill Franklyn , Eric Schaeffer
- Season 1 premiere date: Apr 23, 2010

Positive: 7 out of 11
Mixed: 1 out of 11
Negative: 3 out of 11
Gravity feels like just another bit of quirky telly, an attempt to be distinguishable and different in a way that just upholds the status quo. Yet it's also actually very good. Gravity knows exactly how to make you laugh and when you should cry.
It's a brilliant sitcom premise in this sense: The characters will all have backstories. The only tiny caution is that many of those stories won't necessarily be funny.
Fascinating characters, a solid cast and strong guest casting (Robert Klein and Anne Meara are in early episodes) combine with an eyes-wide-open approach to a typically taboo TV topic. The result is an intriguing series and a sense of the impact Chris Albrecht will have as Starz CEO, a job he started this year.
The problem with all this sensitivitiy is that the show has a tougher time delivering on the whimsy. [3 May 2010, p.42]
There's a certain "Twin Peaks" influence to the nuttiness of the show's plotlines and an attempted morbid irreverence reminiscent of HBO's fondly remembered "Six Feet Under." But at some point, the influences cancel each other out and you're left with half an hour of -- well, nothing
It's not funny, it's not engaging, it's not in any way, shape or form a good match with "Party Down," and I would advise those of you watching that show tonight to change the channel abruptly as soon as the end credits are done rolling.

ACU Paramedicine Lecturer leads rescue team to victory in Australasian Road Crash Rescue Challenge
The Australasian Road Rescue Organisation (ARRO) is the peak body in Australasia for the development and exchange of information, knowledge and skills in the arena of road rescue. It combines rescue techniques with medical assessment and care.
Each year the ARRO runs the Australasian Road Crash Rescue Challenge, where enlisted teams attend a road crash rescue symposium involving expert speakers and practical road crash rescue related workshops. Following the symposium, teams compete in a range of rescue scenarios.
The winners from intrastate competitions go on to attend the Australasian Championships. Unfortunately due to budget cuts the QLD State competition did not run in 2014.
Prue Snedden, Lecturer in Paramedicine at the Australian Catholic University in Brisbane led the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Redland City team, who despite not being able to compete in QLD, self-funded and fundraised to attend the Australasian Championships in Melbourne. The team consisted of Queensland Fire & Rescue personal and Queensland Ambulance Paramedics.
Prue said "the overall aim is to improve patient outcome through safe and rapid extrication and sound clinical assessment and care of patients. The competition consists of numerous scenarios across 3 days, with a total of 3 extrication challenges and 2 trauma challenges".
Over 20 teams throughout Australasia and New Zealand competed in this year's event. Overall the QFES Redland City team did really well and had vast exposure to challenging situations and amazing learning experiences. They achieved first prize in the Australasian competition in the section of 'Trauma challenge'. This specifically involves medical based scenarios with a trauma focus, which require management and treatment in a timely fashion.
Prue said "QFES Redland City have a healthy focus on improving skills and techniques, with a central focus on improving the overall care we bring to our patient".
