At The Empire Grille Chapter 4
Book by: meriddle
Status: Finished
Genre: Literary Fiction
Chapter1 (v.1) - At The Empire Grille Chapter 4
Chapter 4
BC sat alone in the darkness at the end of the bar as he usually does, his head buried in his arms. Baron was doing likewise, sitting next to Les. The excitement of the evening had taken its' toll. Trucker and Buster were awkwardly dancing with some of the waitresses who had returned after getting phone calls from Helen. Malcolm had one cornered, sitting close to her no doubt making some sort of proposition about possible activities together later in the evening.
Helen and Robbie quietly chatted. Les was bored, blindly staring out the big picture window.
"I thought we were going to have a sloggin' tonight!" he abruptly announced, getting everyone's attention.
"Les is right! Right on Les! Let's go!" collectively chimed the group.
The Beach Boys harmonization on the jukebox was quelled and Robbie placed a large bottle of glistening elixir entrained with gold flakes on the bar for all to admire. The special slogging glass was placed before Malcolm and some of the waitresses scooted closer, as did the rest of the group.
Robbie and Helen held court together on the opposite side of the bar and the first glass was poured, the gold flakes tumbling around inside like cosmic stars. The scene became reminiscent of some futuristic 'last supper'.
"Wait! Wait!" Helen cried. "Does anyone have a nickname?"
"Yea, I gotta nickname," Trucker sarcastically blurted.
"You know what I mean," she corrected, playfully slapping his meaty jaw.
"How 'bout Einstein?" Robbie offered.
"Naw, too easy," someone commented.
"How 'bout massive?" Malcolm sheepishly offered.
Most gave out hoots and howls. Malcolm's waitress blushed. Another cooed.
"Ok. Ok, I got one," announced BC from the far end of the bar. "How about 'maladjusted'?"
"That's you, you idiot!" Trucker growled.
BC slumped down in his stool.
"How about super kid?" offered Les.
"No!" was the collective response.
"Can I make a suggestion?" Malcolm asked.
"No!" again resounded.
Trucker assumed legislative duties.
"The 'slogee' cannot dictate his or her own nickname. It must be arrived upon…"
"By committee!" everyone shouted, interrupting Trucker.
Trucker made a point of giving everyone the stink eye. The waitresses were a giggling mess. BC was aroused again and sat upright in his stool. Les noticed and was reminded of how unpredictable the man could be. He also noticed Baron was still fast asleep sitting beside him.
"What's with Baron?" Les asked, always keeping an eye over his extended family.
"Go check on him, will ya Les?" Helen asked.
"Check on what!" BC crowed. "He's old Helen, like me."
Everyone took notice of Les sliding over to Baron.
"Baron?" he whispered, nudging his friend.
No response.
That's odd, thought Les. His back is wet. Cold, too.
"Oh, sweet Jesus,"Les mumbled.
Helen rushed over and checked his pulse. She immediately broke into tears. The rest became concerned.
"I'll call the paramedics," Robbie solemnly muttered, instinctively knowing it was probably too late.
Snaggletooth rushed over and pulling Baron down from the barstool immediately began administering CPR. All silently watched Snaggletooth at the same time listening to Robbie on the telephone. In a few moments Snaggletooth was exhausted and Les took over. Everyone took turns until the paramedics finally arrived and took charge. Helen made the sign of the cross. Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Everyone was frozen in the moment. Eye contact ceased. Helen placed her hand on the back of Les. Les put his hands to his face and began to weep uncontrollably. To him it was the final chapter to a meaningless life-his life. It felt like part of his soul had been siphoned away.

Searching for the Queen of Sheba, and Other Enlightening Entertainments
Jerry Cullum
Social media have turned us all into third- or fourth-rate aphorists. Le bon mot is about all we are capable of when we are not running the words together with the numeral sign serving as a hashtag mark. #lebonmot #runningthewordstogether #andtheresnotimetothink
Clichés are what serve when we cannot think of an aphorism.
This is all apropos of my inability to turn out the perfectly brilliant reflective essay that is deserved by a couple of recent examples of what the scholars barbarously call material culture (a phrase that they should have realized sounded like the flip side of "historical materialism" but scholars are noted for having very little feel for linguistic resonances)—but since that is the phrase (amplified lately by the even more barbarous "material religion"), let me explain that I wanted to talk about the kinds of physical objects from distant history that those of us operating out of the city of Atlanta rarely get the chance to look at up close and personal. (These days, we more typically view them postage-stamp-size in digital images on our phones, which only works if the topic being investigated is postage stamps.)
Since "Habsburg Splendor" at the High Museum is getting ample press without anyone reflecting on the oddity of its collection of art and objects owned by the members of the Habsburg Dynasty, or on what the paintings and suits of armor and robes and uniforms and vessels made from a rhinoceros horn or a sea coconut say about Central European culture or the culture of Europe at large in the centuries in which the Habsburgs flourished…
…it is unnecessary to attempt that epic task at the moment.
I shall instead try to promote "Searching for the Queen of Sheba," at Fernbank Museum of Natural History through January 3, as a perfectly credible opportunity to get a look at an entire body of art and other aspects of ancient cultures that we in the American South do not usually have much of a chance to examine at all, never mind in depth.
Using the legend and truth of the story of the Queen of Sheba as a conceptual hook was a brilliant idea; in the first place, the story has scriptural warrant in all three religions of the Abrahamic revelation (that would be Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and a good deal of currency in Ethiopia, where the descent of the royal house from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba was a longstanding article of faith.
Hence the emphasis of the exhibition on the archaeological remains of Saba (Sheba) and the other kingdoms of South Arabia (the presumptive origin of that Queen of the South who paid the splendiferous visit to King Solomon), with side glances across the Red Sea at the other ancient empires of the Incense Road. The wealth generated by the caravan trade in gold, frankincense, and myrrh was sufficient to support levels of royal splendor far beyond the spectacularly lovely, innovative but less ostentatious mud-brick high-rises currently being bombed into ruins in the latest conflict.
It is good for any number of reasons to be enlightened as to the depth and longevity of the culture of the South Arabian kingdoms of classical antiquity (they were among the exporters with whom Imperial Rome ran a persistent trade deficit), even if the objects with which the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Orientale "G. Tucci" was willing to part temporarily are mostly smaller and sometimes inadequately provenanced. (It would be intriguing to know more about the acquisition of objects prior to or apart from systematic archaeological excavations in this part of the world, where the search for historical clarification has been put on hold by present-day tragic events.)
The beautifully designed catalogue rounds out the exhibition in essays that further elucidate the scope of the Sheba legends and the known historical realities behind a figure who has been inextricably confused with the historically attested Queen Zenobia of Palmyra, a more distant city on the Incense Road, also in the headlines in the past year or so.
Although "Searching for the Queen of Sheba" features an incense burner from western Syria, anyone hoping for examples of the remarkable art of Palmyra will have to resign themselves to remembering the incredible array of Palmyra portraiture that Fernbank presented in 2002, in the oddly named "Syria: Land of Civilizations" blockbuster, which toured various North American museums in complement to the turn of the millennium in the commonly accepted calendar.
But the point is well taken that, legend or truth, the story of the Queen of Sheba has stirred individual and collective cultural imaginations for so many millennia that an entire genre of what this exhibition labels as "tourist art" arose in Ethiopia long before mass tourism was ever thought of. Tourist art arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in response to demand by the influx of foreigners carrying out Menelik II's modernization program; the 44-panel narrative painting reproduced here was painted for an American delegation by the young self-taught artist Balaccaw Yemar (I have Anglicized slightly the catalogue's transliteration from Amharic). Later anonymous examples of tourist art omit many episodes of this story of how the Queen of Sheba founded the royal house of Ethiopia.
Bizarrely, the catalogue caption dates the piece as "1894/5 – 1957," which are Yemar's dates. We know he didn't produce the panels as a newborn infant, nor did he produce it after his death, but it is difficult to believe that it found its way into the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico "Luigi Pigorini" without some more exact indication of the approximate date of its creation.
I, for one, would like to know much, much more about the history of Ethiopian tourist art and the biography of Balaccaw Yemar. This is too much to ask of a popularizing exhibition, but Yemar seems to be absent from other scholarship.

How the Greek and Chinese Crises Are Linked
At first sight, there is little to connect the ugliness in China and Greece. The former reflects the unwinding of a market bubble; and the latter is driven by weak and deteriorating economic and financial fundamentals. Yet both share a common element, and they are not the only ones: They have benefited from the ultra-loose experimental policies that have been pursued by major central banks around the world.

The story is interesting, the villains are not bad either, Inigo Montoya and Fizzik are awesome and they get 5 stars, Westley is great. However, Buttercup is none of those things! She gets 0 points. The last twenty percent of the book was not enough to redeem her in my eyes. I reluctantly admit I might be too harsh since she is probably there to cause such reaction after all.
And here's an even shorter version of the book (spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3rfm5oKwo
Iconic romance, adventure of the 1980's, I think I liked the book more than the film. A favorite with my family.
It is practically CRIMINAL that someone who loves the movie as much as I do is just now getting around to reading the book (in Florin, it probably IS a crime), but here we are. This one has somehow managed to remain on my to-read pile for far, far too long. I think part of me was fearful that reading the book would dull my love for the film, since that has in fact happened with others in the past.
Fortunately, William Goldman knows exactly what he is doing. He included just the right parts of the story, in my opinion, though I would like to read the full text some day. Morgenstern's dealings with Florin history sound fascinating and like a fun romp for someone like me. It did take me a while to get comfortable with Goldman's interruptions, as they are much more frequent than the Fred Savage/Peter Falk scenes, but once you get into the rhythm, they become a welcome addition that explains why he trimmed some of Morgenstern's fat.
Also in this version is the first chapter of the sequel! I never knew such a thing existed, and I was so worried to even try reading it! But now that I have... I NEED MORE!! Something tells me that between Goldman's age and his previous dealings with the Morgenstern estate, this is all we'll ever get, but it's nice to think that we might get more of little Waverly's life with mom and dad and her ever-present "Shade." Maybe we'll just have to wait for Stephen King to get around to it and finally satisfy those Florinese cousins of his.
The Princess Bride is yet another one of those classic books that "everybody" has read but that I have just now read for the first time. I don't think I've seen the movie either, although it's possible I saw it when I was very young and just don't remember it. A few of the lines in the book were familiar, but that may just be because I've heard people quote from the movie over the years.
I really enjoyed this although I think, maybe a little oddly, I enjoyed the framing story the best. I did enjoy the main story, and it held my interest, but its satire gave it a tendency to cross the line into ridiculousness. In many ways it was like reading Pratchett's Discworld books: entertaining and clever, but not usually the kind of story that I would get completely wrapped up in.
The framing story, on the other hand, felt a little more serious, if less fantastical, and added a couple layers on top of the main story. It was those layers that I particularly enjoyed. I have a little more to say about that, but I'm going to put it in spoiler tags. If there's anybody else in the world who knows as little about the story as I did, I don't want to rob them of the fun I had. :)
For anybody who does read this for the first time, I have some pieces of advice:
1. If you start the book and think you're reading the wrong book, don't worry, you're not.
2. If possible, get a more recent edition that includes the 25th and 30th anniversary introductions. I thought they were worth reading, and I think one or both editions may have added some material at the end also.
3. But do not, under any circumstances, read those 25th and 30th anniversary introductions before you read the main book. Especially not the 30th. It's full of spoilers, and I think it would be harder to appreciate it without having the knowledge gained while reading the book. In particular, it answers a question you won't know you have until you get to the end of the book, by which time you may have forgotten you were given the answer because it didn't mean anything to you when you read it. Fortunately, past experience has taught me to avoid reading introductions for classic books until after I've read the book itself. They so often assume the reader already knows the story.
I'm normally reluctant to spend time watching movies, but I think I'll watch this movie, probably tonight. It helps that I'm on vacation this coming week, so I can surely manage to spare the time for one movie. I always hear such great things about this one.
So many feels this week, be still my heart!
Let me first give you all a little backstory. Growing up a child of the 80's, The Princess Bride has always been, hands down, my most favorite movie of all time. I can quote the entire movie line by line (and to the annoyance of those who watch the movie with me, I do so...frequently). Westley was one of my first ever fictional crushes (a close second was Macgyver....80's kid remember?). My most shinning parenting win was when my then five year was told to brush his teeth and he promptly head into the bathroom proclaiming, "Asssssss yooooooou wiiiiiiiish".
Now for an embarrassing truth.
I had absolutely no idea that this was originally a book (insert gasp here).
The self proclaimed booknerd who devours everything she can get her hands on HAD NO CLUE HER FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME WAS A BOOK?! It's shameful I know.
This year for Christmas, my husband gifted me with a copy of the 30th edition.
"It's a book?!" I gasped clutching my new treasure to my chest
"It is" he replied with a grin (he knew he won Christmas this year for sure).
So here I am, learning all sorts of new things about one of my most cherished childhood stories.
For those of you who have been living under a rock in recent history (or like me who only knew of the movie version). The Princess Bride written by William Goldman and published in 1973, later still to be written into a screen play, giving us the 1982 classic of my childhood.
Buttercup is a beautiful farm girl who falls in love with the quiet farm hand Westley who leaves said farm to strike out on his own in search of riches in order to return home again and marry his beloved, not as a poor farm boy, but as a made man. Thought dead at the hands of pirates, a broken hearted Buttercup acquiesces to a marriage with Prince Humperdinck (booooo) but not long before the wedding is kidnapped by a clever Sicilian, a Master Spaniard swordsman, and a fiercely strong giant. Trailed by a mask man in all black, the gang of three kidnappers is slowly bested by the man in black who ultimately reveals his true identity to Buttercup. True love, adventure, loss, magic and revenge weave a tale that is truly unforgettable.
For fans of the movie who have not read the book, please....do it now. It was so exciting to read my favorite one liners from the movie in novel form. "My name in Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." Perhaps even better than that, was reading all the new (to me) passages from the book which were not represented in the movie. Reading snippets of back story on Fezzik and Inigo, the Zoo of Death, and the torture of Westley at the hands of the Count. And can we talk about the illustrations for a second? This edition was illustrated, beautifully so, by Michael Manomivibul. They added just another layer of perfect whimsy to an already perfect story.
But wait! There's more!
There is a sequel in the works entitled, Buttercups Baby, with Goldman joking it may be ready by the 50th anniversary of The Princes Bride (sorry dude, I can't wait that long!). While initially hesitant about treading into new territory with my favorite characters, after reading the excerpt at the end of the 30th edition, I have to say..... I am foaming at the mouth to finish it. (As long as no one dies, my soul couldn't take such torture!)
So I will leave you with this bookworms. I apologize for such a nostalgic review this week but I feel like a kid again, my favorite characters are alive and well in a novel with the promise (hope?) of more to come in the future. If you are a fan of the movie and haven't read the book- do it. If you have never heard of either, read the book and watch the movie. You can come back to thank me later.
The book is clearly a witty, affectionate send-up of the adventure-yarn form, which Goldman obviously loves and knows how to manipulate with enormous skill.

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345348036, Mass Market Paperback)The Princess Bride is a true fantasy classic. William Goldman describes it as a "good parts version" of "S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure." Morgenstern's original was filled with details of Florinese history, court etiquette, and Mrs. Morgenstern's mostly complimentary views of the text. Much admired by academics, the "Classic Tale" nonetheless obscured what Mr. Goldman feels is a story that has everything: "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles."
Goldman frames the fairy tale with an "autobiographical" story: his father, who came from Florin, abridged the book as he read it to his son. Now, Goldman is publishing an abridged version, interspersed with comments on the parts he cut out.
Is The Princess Bride a critique of classics like Ivanhoe and The Three Musketeers, that smother a ripping yarn under elaborate prose? A wry look at the differences between fairy tales and real life? Simply a funny, frenetic adventure? No matter how you read it, you'll put it on your "keeper" shelf. --Nona Vero

Floren is planning to return to Wurstfest after missing last year's event because of minor health problems. Photo submitted Floren coming back for Wurstfest From staff reports Fans of famed polka accordionist Myron Floren will be delighted to know he has returned to the stage and is headed for another appearance at Wurstfest. Floren, who gained notoriety as the accordion player on the "Lawrence Welk Show," performed with the Welk Band and the Jimmy Sturr Orchestra June 4-6 at the Welk Theatre in Branson, Mo., to celebrate The Welk Resort's fourth annual Polka Fest. Floren might be more well-known to area residents for performing popular melodies such as the "Beer Barrel Polka" at the annual event in Landa Park. Wurstfest Wurstfest '99 will take place from Oct. 29 to Nov. 7. Accordionist Myron Floren will perform Oct. 31 through Nov. 3. Wurstfest is a 10-day festival in New Braunfels featuring sausage, polka, fun and fellowship in the German manner. Floren began performing at Wurstfest in 1968 and soon developed a huge fan base. He appeared annually until 1998, when he was forced to cancel his performance because of minor health problems. Wursfest Association president Maurice Fischer, his wife Charlene, organization vice president Hal Herbelin and executive director Suzanne Herbelin all traveled to Branson to see Floren's Polka Fest performance. According to Fischer, Floren looked like he was feeling great. "His music was fantastic, and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed being back on stage," Fischer said. Although Floren has only scheduled a limited number of engagements this year, he will perform at this year's Wurstfest. He is scheduled to perform from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3. Ozone violation could cost Comal residents plenty By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer The Greater San Antonio area exceeded federal air standards one too many times in August — a violation that could result in various penalties such as increased gas prices for residents in Comal and surrounding counties. "The public was not educated in advance," said Joe Medina, chair of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Inc. Natural Resource Committee. "People here thought it didn't affect them." But Comal County — as well as Bexar, Guadalupe and Wilson counties — is included in the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area, which the Environmental Protection Agency currently considers an "attainment area" measuring below federal ozone level requirements. EPA rates air standards in statistical areas on the basis of ozone measurements during a three-year period. The maximum allowable level of ozone is 85 parts per billion each year averaged during a three-year period, These readings are taken over an eight-hour period. Ozone is a reactive gas that forms when pollutants react in the presence of sunlight and heat. High, unhealthy levels of ozone often are tnggered by hot and dry weather and heavy traffic. The ozone rating in 1997 was 84 parts per billion but jumped to 90 parts per billion in 1998. Tile figure for 1999 would have to be 80 or below for the three-year average to stay below 85. But an air monitor recorded an average ozone level of more than 81 parts per billion over an eight-hour period four times this past month. Most recently, an air monitor in Ozone Action Day WHEN: Today WHAT CAN YOU DO: 1. Share a ride to work or school. 2. Try to avoid morning rush hour traffic. 3. Walk or ride a bicycle. 4. Take your lunch to work or school. 5. Combine errands into one trip. 6. Avoid drive-through lanes. 7. Postpone refueling until after 6 p.m. 8. Don't top off your gas tank when refueling. 9. Postpone using small gasoline engines like lawn mowers until after 6 p.m. 10. Keep your vehicle properly tuned to keep exhaust levels low. Northwest San Antonio recorded an ozone level of 85 parts per billion on Monday. Ozone levels also were recorded above 81 on Aug. 5, 16 and 21. The city of San Antonio might contest the Aug. 21 reading, which local officials argued could be attributed to Hurricane Bret.

Administrators have decided to temporarily suspend the long-standing tradition of student-led prayers before home games until they receive word from the US. Supreme Court. In June, the US. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which lias jurisdiction over Texas, ruled that student-led public prayers at football games was unconstitutional. The ruling stems from a 1993 law suit against the Santa Fe Independent School District for allowing students to read overtly C hristian prayers at graduation. The US. Supreme Court could overturn the decision, but in the meantime, school districts could face the threat of lawsuits if they allow prayers to continue. Comal Independent School District superintendent Jerry Major said this past week he would ask for a moment of silence and a "thought for the game" instead of student-led prayers at Canyon and Smithson Valley games. "What we recommend is that a student body representative call the crowd to order, then ask them to observe a moment of silence and then give a thought for the day or w ish the players good luck," Major said. New Braunfels High School principal Keith Garinger said student-led prayers would be suspended this year. The decision was made after discussions between Garinger, New Braunfels ISI) superintendent Ron Reaves and John Turman, assistant superintendent of pupil and administrative services.See MOMENT OF SILENCED Here are the local district policies regarding pregame prayer for 1999-2000: Comal ISD — Moment of silence, "thought for the game" encouraging sportsmanship and student safety New Braunfels ISD — Moment of silence, "thought for the day" encouraging sportsmanship and student safety Schertz-Cibolo-Universal ISD — No pregame prayer, possibly moment of silence Seguin ISD — Moment of silence, motivational message over public address system San Marcos ISD — No pregame prayer, will have a welcome by the home school . ^..... . —L... . . Labor Avenue resident wants city to make neighbor clean up his act By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer A New Braunfels man who can't sell his house says the city has not done its part to make a neighbor tidy his garbage-strewn yard. The neighbor's trash has deterred four potential buyers, said Ken Eamheart, 335 Labor Ave. New Braunfels code compliance officer Cory Chilcutt said he was investigating the case but the process took time. And the neighbor say he has been too ill to clean up the yard. Earnheart said the problem with the trash at 818 Basel St. has been ongoing for a year, although he only contacted city off icials a month and a half ago. Overgrown weeds surround the home, owned by Paul Vogel. A large clearing in the weeds reveals a neglected open area that serves as a driveway and walking space between the home and a rusted shack. This is visible from Labor Avenue, one block southwest of Peace Avenue. Blue netted bags filled with aluminum cans spill out from the shack and lie scattered over the ground. Tiny black bugs craw I along rotting potatoes and decaying cantaloupe, left in a cardboard box near the street. Two pairs of tennis shoes are strung from tree branches. Empty boxes, containers of bottled water and other trash are See TRASH/5A Code Violation • After a complaint, code enforcement officer Cory Chilcutt investigates. • lf a code has been broken, Chilcutt sends a notice allowing the owner 15 days to take care of the situation. • lf the violation has not been addressed after 15 days, the city will send a certified letter allowing an additional 15 days for compliance. • lf the violator still has not addressed the situation, the city can take the person to municipal court. • A first-time offender faces a fine ranging from $100 to $2,000. A second-time offender faces a fine ranging from $200 to $2,000. Third and subsequent offenders face a fine ranging from $500 to $2,000.

Plethico Pharmaceuticals Limited Vanessa Ranta WORK AT HOME SCAM Internet

My wife received an email to log onto Yahoo Instant Messenger to interview for a personal assistant position with Plethico Pharmaceuticals. I thought it was strange to conduct an interview over IM and so did she. She logged on and sure enough was interviewed online by an individual who stated he was Mr. Vanessa Ranta.
My wife sent me a transcript of the chat and it was obious to me that this had to be some type of phishing scam or otherwise. It had all of the tell tale signs like poor grammar, misspelled words, vague and ambiguos questions and responses. Same line as the previous reports about working from home until the San Diego branch office was opened.
She closed the chat before they could ask any further questions or develop any more personal information.

My sweet Jakey Boy:
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
You've been gone from us 5 years today and still miss you so very much. Your goofy antics will never be forgotten! Your new little sister Ellie Mae reminds us so much of you. I have a feeling that wasn't such a coincidence.
I will always remember the day we found you at the Humane Society - curled up in a corner and shaking. You gave me a look that said, "I'VE HAD A VERY ROUGH START IN LIFE - PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE!!!!" Well, we did just that and you gave US more than words could ever say. We're so glad we were able to give you 10 years of the love and happiness you deserved.
Today is also your sister Sadie's birthday. Her second at the Bridge. I hope you two are celebrating these milestones together!
We all love you and will forever miss you.
Mom, Dad, Chris and Brandon
Dear Jakey Boy: Guess what Boo-Boo??? You have another new little sister! Her name is Ellie Mae and she's a cutie! She was born on July 16th and came to us on August 29th. Having two Dobies at home again brings back such good memories of having you and your sister Sadie here with us. ALTHOUGH NO PUPS CAN EVER TAKE YOUR PLACES!!
We all miss you so much and keep you here at home in our beautiful memories of you.
We will always love you Boo-Boo Boy!
Dear Jake: Hi sweetie. I just wanted you to know that the older your little sister Tia gets the more she exhibits some of your goofy traits! I really don't think it's a coincidence either! Just like we still hear you upstairs sometimes, I think you have something to do with teaching Tia some of your old tricks! It's something we certainly get a kick out of! I hope you and Sadie are having fun at the Bridge with all your new friends! We all love you and miss you so much!

When states reached a $25 billion settlement in March
with five of the nation's largest mortgage lenders over charges they improperly
processed foreclosures, it was hailed as the biggest government-industry accord
since the multi-state tobacco settlement in 1998. But the states' share of that
money hasn't all been going toward helping distressed homeowners, as
Under the terms of the agreement, Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America Corp.,
Citibank Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. were
required to provide $20 billion in mortgage relief directly to homeowners. The
$2.5 billion states received was supposed to be used "to the extent
practicable...for purposes intended to avoid foreclosures," among other
But according to a report by Enterprise Community Partners, a housing
nonprofit, only about $1 billion of the state funds have been allocated for
some type of homeowner relief so far, while $1 billion has been funneled into
state general funds. Only 14 states are planning to spend their entire
allotments on housing aid, while nine plan to spend most of their funds that
way, according to the report. And many of the largest states have opted for the
general-fund route.
"It's an incredible frustration," said Andrew Jakabovics, who
co-authored the report.
The allocation of the foreclosure funds has touched off battles across the
country. Consumer advocacy groups sued Arizona over its decision to designate
roughly half of its $98 million payout for general fund use.
"Virtually everything in the settlement is about providing relief for
distressed homeowners," said Tim Hogan, executive director of the Arizona
Center for Law in the Public Interest and an attorney for the plaintiffs in the
suit. "I don't see how you can take these funds for something
A state judge dismissed the suit this month. But Hogan said he'll appeal that
In South Carolina, Gov. Nikki Haley (R) vetoed the Legislature's diversion of
$10 million from the state's $31 million foreclosure settlement allocation to a
campaign to lure out-of-state businesses, which she called both
"inappropriate" and a "raid." The Legislature overturned
her veto and allocated the remaining $21 million to the state's general fund.

Is That Artisanal Food Gift Really So Luxurious?
As we do our holiday shopping this time of year, it's hard not to notice all the seemingly luxurious little food gifts that are perfect for those on our lists who already seem to have everything.
You know what we're talking about—things like artisanal hand-bottled sodas, in flavors like grassy meadow. Or maybe it's a package of artisanal biscotti, supposedly crafted from a recipe by the grandmother of the company's founder. And then there's artisanal chocolate, made from bean to bar, and packaged in paper that's reminiscent of another era you can't quite put your finger on.
But Dan Pashman, host of WNYC's Sporkful podcast, says we should practice caution when considering these high-end food gifts, beginning with that chocolate, and one brand in particular, called Mast Brothers.
What you'll learn from this segment:
- Why the Mast Brothers are under fire for their artisanal chocolate.
- Why shoppers should be cautious about artisanal and luxury food gifts.
- Whether there's a fool proof food gift to give anyone.
The Takeaway reached out to Rick Mast, CEO and co-founder of Mast Brothers, and received the following statement:
Even the media gets it wrong every once in a while. We never "admitted" to remelting other chocolate during our first year. We happily confirmed what we had always been open and honest about. In our early days, we were quite open about experimenting with Valrhona. We told colleagues, competitors, chefs, even the press. It was never considered scandalous. All the while, we were making chocolate from bean to bar and were proud of our work. We never lied to anyone or attempting to mislead the public by remelting other chocolate and saying it was 'bean to bar'.
The sensationalism, hate and lies about our honest, hard working company are coming from a chocolate industry, including competitors, that we don't wish to be a part of. We encourage the media to look into who, exactly, is behind this malicious smear campaign. As we have said many times, we will continue to not participate in chocolate industry conventions, competitions and conferences until this toxic culture has changed.
I don't know how else to say it. We do not remelt chocolate. We have never remelted chocolate and sold it as 'bean to bar'. The allegations are false. There is an enormous amount of information to prove this and no one seems to care. The media seems to only care about sensationalist headlines and is willing to exploit and compromise a thriving family business for ratings and clicks.
The good news is, our supporters are overwhelming us with love and kindness. Our sales are soaring and we have confidence that the truth will come out on top in the end. You can get the facts here.

Life in L.A.
Chilly, cold, bright.
So many colors!
A dark glittering ocean, glowing sand.
A colorful ferriswheel, spinning, swirling, exploding.
Pillars of blue and brilliant gold,
City lights shining everywhere I go.
The sky has its own shade of blue
You don't get anywhere else.
The sun beats down and warms everything
People walk along the beach,
Sketching and writing in the sand with their toes.
The ocean,
Suprisingly, doesn't smell like oceans do.
I took the deepest breath I could, but it still didn't register.
No salt, no fish.
But there were whitecaps,
Emerging from the blue like ghosts,
Nothing there, but then a great white wall coming toward me.
Leaping at my feet, wanting to take me under.
The beach,
Warm sand at my feet,
Swallowing my toes.
I dig holes, deeper and deeper and deeper,
Finding shells and rocks,
Closer to the water, little animals can be found.
Tiny, colourful mussels are washed up on the sand,
They grab at the ground with little slimy arms,
Trying to stay on the beach.
When the water disapears, they all turn on end
And race underground.
Pop, pop, pop,
all that's left are little holes.
I like to walk on the beach.
Being land-locked doesn't do much for me.
I follow the receding waves back to the ocean.
They chase me back.
The water is faster than me,
and I often cannot outrun it.
It licks my toes with an icy tongue.
And all I do is smile and laugh.

This is Gospel by Panic! At The Disco
Most thought provoking lyric: These words are knives and often leave scars
The struggle spoken of in this song is very close to my heart. The songwriter, Brendon Urie, wrote it about the drummer of his band, Spencer Smith, who was struggling with drug addiction at the time. I can relate to the lyrics because I was constantly in a very dark place during the fifth and sixth grade. I was basically fighting for my life, but I was fighting for my life against myself. The lyrics "If you love me let me go" can be interpreted in two ways when applied to my life. One way is positive: asking the dark thoughts to leave me alone. The other way is negative: the dark thoughts asking me to let go of life itself.

Four women attending a New York bachelorette party in the state's wine country were killed on Saturday while two others were injured seriously after a limousine was hit on Long Island by a pickup truck, said local law enforcement.
The limousine had been leaving one of the area wineries and was making a U-turn at an intersection with a blinking traffic light when it was struck by the pickup. The driver of the pickup slammed on the brakes prior to the crash but was not able to stop before crashing into the vehicle.
Police said the four people killed were women, but their names had not been released as they were from the area of New York City and authorities were still locating their next of kin.
An official in law enforcement, who was not given authorization to discuss details with the media, spoke on the condition of anonymity and said the pickup had hit the side of the limousine. The crash took place at approximately 6 p.m. in Cutchogue on Route 48.
It is common for limousines to be seen in the area, as there are many people that visit the array of wineries in the area.
Police said the driver of the pickup had run from the scene of the crash, but was apprehended and later arrested. He faces a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Authorities did not release his name and he remained at a nearby hospital under guard.
The chief of police from Cutchogue said the crash on Saturday was one of the worst he had ever seen.
This was the second crash with more than one fatality on Long Island over the past several days. Less than a week ago, a father and two of his children were killed when the sedan they were riding in was rear-ended and burst into flames. The children's mother and wife escaped uninjured.
In that accident, a man from Queens was charged with operating under the influences and another had been charged with driving the man away from the accident scene. Both men entered pleas of not guilty and deny they did anything wrong.

Parameterization of entrainment-mixing processes in cumulus clouds is critical to improve cloud parameterization in models, but is still at its infancy. For this purpose, we have lately developed a formulation to represent a microphysical measure defined as homogeneous mixing degree in terms of a dynamical measure defined as transition scale numbers, and demonstrated the formulation with measurements from stratocumulus clouds. Here, we extend the previous work by examining data from observed cumulus clouds and find positive correlations between the homogeneous mixing degree and transition scale numbers. These results are similar to those in the stratocumulus clouds, but proved valid for the first time in observed cumulus clouds. The empirical relationships can be used to parameterize entrainment-mixing processes in two-moment microphysical schemes. Further examined are the effects of secondary mixing events on the relationships between homogeneous mixing degree and transition scale numbers with the explicit mixing parcel model. The secondary mixing events are found to be at least partially responsible for the larger scatter in the above positive correlations based on observations than that in the previous results based on numerical simulations without considering secondary mixing events.

Indiana State Fair to serve alcohol for first time in nearly 70 years
This year's Indiana State Fair will serve alcohol this year for the first time in nearly 70 years.
About 40 Indiana craft brewers and wineries will be setting up shop in the new wine and beer garden inside the fairgrounds' Grand Hall. The General Assembly this year lifted a longstanding ban on alcohol at the fair and organizers began accepting applications last month.
Fair spokesman Andy Klotz tells WIBC-FM that interest came from breweries and wineries across the state. The available beer and wine will vary day to day.
Visitors to the beer garden will receive a wristband limiting them to three sample-size servings of beer or wine. Alcohol won't be allowed to leave the Grand Hall.
The fair is scheduled for Aug. 1-17.

'Super Henry' inspiring inner west residents to step up to help other kids with cerebral palsy
PETERSHAM, WEDNESDAY 13 AUGUST 2014 – He may only be 17 months old, but he is already inspiring his local community to take action to change lives.
Little Henry Williamson from Petersham has cerebral palsy which affects his left side. He was diagnosed when he was eight months old, when his mum noticed he wasn't using both his hands to play with toys like other babies in his mother's group were.
A visit to the paediatrician and an MRI scan revealed Henry had a rare brain condition, leading to him having cerebral palsy.
'I would sit at mother's group and watch the other babies pass toys from one hand to another, but Henry would only use his right hand and arm', his mum Jennifer Williamson recalls. 'He'd reach right across his body with his right arm to pick up something on his left side. I just knew something was wrong.'
Following his diagnosis, Henry's parents took him to Cerebral Palsy Alliance's Penshurst centre where he began regular speech therapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Henry is now sitting up and rolling. He is also practicing standing in a special standing support to help strengthen his muscles.
Inspired by Henry's fierce determination and happy-go-lucky attitude, his parents Jennifer and Josh Williamson have signed up for the STEPtember activity challenge under the team "SuperHenry!"
STEPtember involves participants forming teams of four and each doing 10,000 steps a day from 3-30 September. More than 40 activities can be converted into steps including cycling, rowing and gym sessions. Participants also raise money for Cerebral Palsy Alliance to provide equipment and therapy.
'So much changes when your baby is diagnosed with cerebral palsy', Jennifer says. 'Babies should be playing and giggling and having fun. But with a cerebral palsy diagnosis, things get serious. It's all about therapy and practice, practice, practice! We want to help Henry to reach his full potential and early intervention is integral to that. Thankfully Cerebral Palsy Alliance is there for families like ours to get the help, guidance and support we need.
'We want to raise money to help provide therapy for other kids like Henry, and also to give back to Cerebral Palsy Alliance which has been a life-saver for us during these early months.
'We're also looking forward to getting fit and active and going on long evening walks as a family to clock up our 10,000 steps a day. Our local community is so wonderfully supportive, and it would be great to see everyone rallying to also take part in STEPtember', she said.
To sign up for STEPtember or to support team "SuperHenry!" go to www.steptember.org.au
Attention editors: Little Henry and the Williamson family are available for photos and interview, please contact his mum Jennifer on 0431 479 443.

BeschreibungBecause the search for safe and effective chemotherapeutic agents has been hindered by antimicrobial resistance and toxic harm, there is a growing need to understand how the immune system can be manipulated to control infections, particularly HIV. In Immunotherapy for Infectious Diseases, Jeffrey M. Jacobson, md, and a group of leading researchers active in the field review the state-of-the-art for treating various infections-particularly HIV-by manipulating the immune system's response rather than by using chemical drugs. The contributors synthesize the principles of immune defense on the molecular level (monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, methods of antigen presentation, and cytokines and cytokine antagonists), as well as on the cellular and clinical levels as a protection against infection. The review of the current state of anti-HIV immunotherapy covers HIV-specific passive and active immunization strategies, gene therapy, and host cell-targeted approaches for treating HIV infection and restoring immune function. Also discussed are immunotherapy for other viral infections, virus-associated malignancies, bacterial infections and sepsis, tuberculosis, and fungal infections. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Immunotherapy for Infectious Diseases reviews all the current state-of-the-art developments occurring in this rapidly evolving field and helps set the stage for the early development of better immunologically based therapies for infections.

Pampers Swaddlers Size 1-2 (8 - 15 lbs) give a great Grow-With-Me fit due to super s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y sides that wrap around for a snug, comfy fit, and soft overlapping tabs that also can move farther apart. Swaddlers offer quilted softness that your baby will love. Sesame Street characters are pictured on top front of Swaddlers. Economy Pack 204-count.
Average Price: $59.95
The only brand I will buy! Great value, soft, great fit and absorbent! I have no reason to try any other brand at this point. Plus they are available to size 5 now!
After trying several different kinds of Diapers (Huggies, target, and Costco) Pampers was the way to go. With other brands our daughter would leak through them in a couple of hours but Pampers kept her dry. Will definitely keep buying Swaddlers.
As a first time mother I was overwhelmed with the amount of choices for diapers. We were given several different brands at our baby shower and Pampers Swaddlers was by far the best brand. They were soft, flexible, and just seemed like they would be more comfortable than the other brands we tried. They did not leave irritation marks on my little one and they did not leak, even overnight! I love these diapers and would highly recommend them! I think my little one loved them too!

When I was a kid I drew wings on everything. That's what made me special. Every kids got something special about them. Kid brother of mine? He can whistle damn near any tune you ask him to perfectly.
No one knew why I drew the wings except me. It was 'cause of the Swan.
Everyday, as the sun rose a swan would fly out across the lake i could see from my bedroom window. Sometimes it would bask in the sunrise, other times it would fly around and skim along the water like somethin' from heaven.
It was damn near the most beautiful thing I ever seen
Damn near
Because of the swan I'd draw wings on damn near everything. Drew 'em on my shitty school art projects, drew 'em on the back of tests, even drew 'em on my wall a couple of times 'till my Mom caught me and gave me a good thrashing. But still, that's what everyone remembered. I was the kid who drew the wings. Might be a pilot someday.
Swan used to fly right up to my window sometimes. Like an angel, it'd sit there watching over me. I liked that. I figured it'd be good to have an angel. My Dad didn't have no angel 'cause he got shot a hunting accident and an angel wouldn't let that happen. My Mom? Her angel probably left on account of her bein' so mean to everyone. But I guess you can't blame a woman for bein' mean after she gone and lost her husband because of an accident.
I drew wings up until I was 15. By then I was pretty damn good. I might've been an artist if I hadn't been sent to fight in the second War. I guess that's how life is though. Can't plan too far ahead.
Anyway, when I was 15 I woke up early to see the Swan but he didn't show up. Instead I heard this loud crack like thunder 'cept I knew it was a gun. Someone had shot my swan and down went it's wings.
Few days later I was out in the middle of the lake rowing when I see something white shinin' in the sun. First I thought it was a peice of trash or somethin' but of course when i got closer it turned out to be the Swan.
So of course I had myself a good little cry out on the lake and spent a while looking at the swan.
I think sometimes what people don't realize is that just 'cause something is sad doesn't mean it ain't beautiful. That dead swan lying on the bottom of the lake? Most beautiful thing I ever seen even though it damn near broke my heart. It's real hard to explain. Sometimes things are so sad they're beautiful and they can break your heart just the same as a pretty girl can.
Now, people started asking why I didnt draw wings no more. I just shrugged and they thought I'd grown out or something. But I dont draw wings for a different reason.
I'm sure that that swan that hunter shot that cold morning of 1937 was no ordinary swan. It really was an angel. And 'cause that angel now lies at the bottom of the pool this world is one angel short so I gotta take it's place. What if someones Daddy don't come home 'cause we're all one angel short?
I stopped drawing wings 'cause the Swan is gone and I gotta start wearing them.
