A/N: December 1st. Here the bells? It's time for a Christmas story. (Okay, too much chocolate today). Well, this may seem odd for a holiday story; but in an ironic way I think it's fitting. To me, Christmas is the time of hope and faith as well as family and friends. It can be a blessing and at times seem like a curse. It magnifies all feelings, both good and bad. In general, I like to believe it brings out the best in people. If you're loved ones are together it is a magical time, if one has lost someone special, it can remind us of those who 'should' be there to share in the special time. I named this story after a poem that I love. One I've shared with others as well as took comfort in myself. I hope this story touches you and if not at least entertains you in this long dry spell of the writer's strike. It also is a story I've wanted to tell for a while, because I believe it holds relevance to events coming up in To the Victor Go the Spoils. Thanks as always to the reviewers and to Tidia. This chapter is a little shorter than most; but this story is 4 chapters long and I plan on posting one each week until the big day, December 25. Also, Tidia's Holiday story titled God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman is much lighter and absolutely wonderful by the way! So hopefully it will balance out all my angst . Poor Winchesters. I tend to pummel them at the holidays. To the Victor will be updated very soon. I have been quite busy finishing this one up and since it is almost done, I should be back to writing in the present, very presently.
All is Well.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is Well.
-Henry S. Holland
"She was so checking me out, little brother," Dean Winchester proclaimed without a hint of shame. "I could try and get her number for you," he told the younger boy as they banged loudly through the front door of the small apartment. "Maybe if you had some mistletoe, you might even get her to kiss you. Drop a line to Santa, and you might even cop a quick feel."
Sam Winchester rolled his eyes, dropped his books on the couch before starting for the kitchen. "Don't do me any favors, dickhead."
"Don't be that way, Sammy. You know who may be listening." The seventeen-year-old followed his brother, unwilling to give up the torment. "And besides, I'll let her down easy, and she'll need someone to sweep in and console her. Girls are softer at the holidays. They have visions of sugar plums and all that shit dancing in their heads."
"Shut-up!" Sam shot over his shoulder as he turned the corner into both dining area and cooking quarters for the Winchester family.
He was brought up abruptly as he caught site of his father sitting hunched over at the wobbly card table. Sam hadn't expected the man to be home. In fact, he thought their father had left that morning for a hunt, promising to meet them in Kentucky in time for Christmas Eve. He hadn't even checked the lot for Dad's truck.
"Dad?" his brother's voice was sharp and held the edge of anxiousness Sam felt.
At first John continued to hold his head in his hands. It was only when he finally lifted his gaze to his sons, they caught site of the phone grasped tightly in his fingers. "Boys." His voice was rough. Sam sensed his brother move closer to him.
"Dad, I thought you were going to Biloxi this morning?" Dean asked as he moved around the thirteen-year-old and stepped closer to their father. "We were going to meet up with you next week at Pastor Jim's."
Sam continued to hang back, an unfamiliar charge in the air keeping him frozen in his place. He glanced to the table again, noting the bottle of whiskey and a half-empty shot glass. "Dean?"
John looked at his eldest, but remained silent. Sam wasn't surprised when Dean stepped in front of him. There was something dangerous in the room with them; and his brother was the ever vigilant protector. "Dad, are you okay? What's wrong?"
John shook his head and carefully placed the phone alongside the amber liquid. "There's been a change in plans, boys…we're going to Kentucky tonight."
"But it's the middle of the week…" Sam started, only to have his concerns about missing an end of semester test abruptly halted by his father.
John's stony gaze zeroed in on his youngest son. "Don't," he ordered.
It was more the bloodshot eyes than the icy tone that had Sam taking a step back. His father was not in any kind of state to hear a rebuttal. Even Sam wasn't brazen enough to cross him on the rare moment he had given in to the temptation to drown all his misery in a bottle of Jack Daniels.
"Dad?" Dean tried again. "What the hell is going on?"
Sam watched as his father looked at Dean. The teen felt as if he were suddenly cast out of their dimension, forced to watch from behind thick glass as his father spoke to Dean alone. Sam may have physically still been present in the room, but as soon as John Winchester began to speak, he felt himself disappear completely.
"I'm so damn sorry, Son."
Dean frowned. "For what?"
John glanced down at his hands, trying to get the buzzing in his ears to stop. He eyed the whiskey, wondering if adding another shot to the other two would bolster his courage. He wanted to get drunk to endure the reality of another loss in a stupor of alcohol induced haze; but he had to face his boys. They deserved better. "I have some bad news." God. What was he saying? That didn't even begin to cover it.
A hint of Dean's half-assed grin appeared. "Bad news as in you sold the Impala while I was at school, bad news?"
Others might have missed it, but John heard the slight tremor in his son's voice despite the typical humor. The kid was insightful as hell-in tune to the emotions around him. John bowed his head, closed his eyes for a moment. The soft touch on his arm made him realize his body language had answered Dean's question.
"Who?" Dean asked quietly.
John swallowed hard. Dean's hand swam in and out of focus so he took a quick breath, and shook his head to clear his muddled thoughts. He roughly palmed his eyes.
"Who? What?" Sam asked hoarsely.
John didn't look at the younger boy. He'd be unable to speak the name if he did. As it was it felt like jagged glass on his raw throat. "Caleb."
Sam was once again grounded in the room, brought back from his false anonymity by the shear state of confusion. He saw his father's mouth move to answer Dean's question, recognized the syllables on some basic level; but his mind refused to process what it was the man had said.
He watched his brother stagger as if the floor had shifted beneath his feet. Dean yanked his hand away from his father. "What?"
Dad blinked, his dark lashes glistening with moisture. It was then Sam realized his father's eyes were not red from alcohol, but crying.
Crying was not allowed in the Winchester family. Winchesters only cried if a major organ was in jeopardy, a limb was missing, or someone they loved had…
Sam swallowed thickly. That was the dangerous thing lurking in the shadows. There was no enemy more formidable for the Winchesters-for anyone.
Sam should have recalled the difference in his father's face from the few times he had seen the man break. Times from when he was a child and his mother's birthday would roll around or the anniversary of her death. Blood could be regained, time recouped, but losing something invaluable, irreplaceable was reason enough for tears, even by the Winchester code.
Who? Sam was so focused on his thoughts he still couldn't comprehend John's reply. The name sounded foreign. But the way Dean reacted- Sam wanted to shout for their father to just shut up.
Unfortunately, Dad kept talking. "Bobby called this morning after you two went to school. A hunt went bad yesterday and…they searched all day and last night…"
" No." Dean shook his head slowly. "That…that can't be right."
Sam wondered why something warm and wet splashed onto his own cheeks. So what if stupid Bobby called? What was the big deal? Before he could think anymore about it, his father pushed himself to his feet, taking a step closer to Dean.
Dean stumbled back before their dad could touch him. "You're wrong!"
His brother's shout sent a shudder through Sam's body. The hot tears falling steady stung his cheek like acid. Dean never yelled at their father. It was as ingrained in him as the whole 'no crying rule.'
Sam half expected for John to bellow back, but instead when he spoke his voice was full of compassion, choked with emotion. It was worse than any screaming. "I wish I were, Son. Believe me. God…I loved him too and..."
"Shut up!" Dean growled. Sam watched in disbelief as Dean slung his arm out, catching the bottle of whiskey at the neck and sending it shattering against the wall. "You're fucking drunk! You don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
Sam heard himself let out a frightened mewl. He was afraid his father might hit his brother. Dad looked so unsure of what to do next.
But Sam knew his father. He guessed the man had been playing this scene over in his mind the last couple of hours-hoping to find the best way to deal with it. John Winchester didn't do anything without a plan.
John stood frozen in place, paralyzed by a myriad of emotions. With Mary there had been no lag time, no real need to explain. It had been so cruel for Dean to witness what happened to his mother, but at least John did not have to provide an explaination.
And Dean had been just a boy then. Only four when his world was ripped apart by death. He was still innocent. The worst he had faced was a skinned knee, a scraped elbow, nothing compared to a broken heart. But then their tragedy had changed all that. Death intervened, stealing the purity Dean should have had for years to come.
John had held Dean then, shushed away his child fears and grown-up misery. He'd whispered promises he couldn't keep, like that things would be better tomorrow. All would be well again. John then did one good thing. He put baby Sammy in Dean's arms and told him to rock his brother to sleep. But now Dean was a man…a man who didn't deal well with pain and emotions, at least when they were his own. Another legacy John would leave his children. "Dean…Son…"
"Don't!" The boy held his hand up, shook his head again. He stepped further away, putting more distance between them. His voice broke and John felt sick. "Just…don't."
Before John could stop him, Dean surged forward, darting past him and around Sam to take off for the living room. John squeezed his eyes shut as he heard the front door slam, feeling like a gunshot to his chest. "Goddamnit!" He was a fucking miserable excuse for a father. No doubt Caleb would have agreed wholeheartedly if he'd been there. God how John wished he were there.
Sam felt more than saw his older brother run past him, although it seemed almost as if he had moved through him. The already cold air around him dropped to frigid and Sam felt himself trembling harder. He looked to his father and Dad moved towards him in slow motion.
"Sammy?" John said softly, holding his arms out, offering what looked like shelter from the bone-aching cold.
How long had it been since his father held him? Sam couldn't remember, but he felt himself leaning, or maybe falling.
All he knew was his father was there, holding him up, hugging him tightly. Sam couldn't catch his breath. It was sinking in. It all made sense.
The syllables became clear, rang hollow in his head like church bells. His father had said Caleb.
Caleb was dead.
"I've got you covered, Deuce." Caleb Reaves grinned. "Trust me."
"They don't let eighth graders on the freshmen team." Dean tried once again to explain to the older boy as they walked towards the small ballpark in New Haven. Caleb was in for spring break; Dean and Sam were at Jim's for the long Easter weekend. Dean had made the mistake of mentioning baseball tryouts were the following week at his school and Reaves and Sam had latched onto it like Scout with one of her pull toys. "It won't even matter if I try out."
"But this coach has never had an eighth grader like you, Deuce. You're a natural." Caleb threw an arm around his shoulder. "And you've got an advantage."
The thirteen-year-old rolled his eyes. "And that would be?"
"Me and Sammy."
"Right." The nine-year-old Sam piped up with a smile.
"And what are you and the midget going to do? Muscle the coach into taking me for a benchwarmer."
"We did research at the library yesterday," Sam informed his brother.
Dean looked at him. "When you were supposed to be researching the ways to kill a water spirit?"
"We did that too," Caleb amended. "But really, how many ways are there to kill a water spirit?"
"None that we could find," Sam reminded him.
"But you told Bobby…" Dean started and Caleb shook his head.
"He'll improvise and it's not like a little bath is going to hurt Bobby."
"He'll kick your ass is what he'll do."
"Maybe, but no strong arm tactics with your coach will be necessary." Reaves pointed towards the field. "You're going to learn so much stuff today that your coach won't be able to afford 'not' to put you on the team."
Dean sighed. "I hate to mention this, but Sammy can barely get the ball over home plate from three feet away."
"Yes, I can," Sam defended.
Dean ignored his brother and continued on, "And your knowledge of homeruns isn't exactly the kind I can use at my age."
"True." Reaves grin grew. "But those guys know their stuff."
Dean looked across the field where two guys were tossing a ball back and forth. He glanced back to Caleb. "And they are?"
"Some old friends from way back." Reaves shrugged, waving a hand at the guys who had looked up at their entrance. "They went to one of the private schools Mac sent me to."
"Don't look so impressed, Deuce." Caleb shook his head, casting a frown in the youngest Winchester's direction. "I suppose I need to pull out the big card, Sammy." He looked at Dean again. "Cam and Parker play minor league ball for the Mets organization. I mean it's not the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson, but I really didn't have the time to build you a spirit field in the middle of Jim's back forty."
A disbelieving look crossed over Dean's face. He glanced back to the two men moving towards them. "No way. What are they doing in New Haven?"
Caleb shrugged. "What can I say? They wanted to see the bustling sights and I told them about Jim's apple pie."
Dean rolled his eyes, but couldn't keep the huge grin off his face. Leave it to Caleb to bribe some buddies to fly in for a private training session. "Couldn't you have just gone to Daytona or Cancun like most normal college students, Damien?"
"And missed torturing you for three days. No way."
It had been three days ago when Dean last talked to Caleb.
The older hunter had called to ask John a question about something he was researching, and while his father had gone to get his journal, Dean had commandeered the phone.
Weary of reminiscing ancient history, Dean leaned his head against the passenger window of the Impala and instead tried to recall their final conversation as he endured the drive to the farm.
He couldn't remember all the specifics, not every word, or how it started or ended. Funny how a memory of a day of baseball nearly five years before seemed just as clear. But Dean remembered pristinely the plans they made.
Dean's eighteenth birthday was coming up. And although Dean could have cared less about the milestone, Reaves insisted on a celebration. Dean could pick the place, the type of fun, and the company. Nothing was off limits for his official entry into manhood.
When Dean had tried to brush it off, Caleb had followed up with a typical insult about miracles being far and few between. It was only by the grace of God that Dean had lived to the ripe old age of eighteen, considering the amount of trouble he attracted. Jim would view it as blasphemous if they didn't pay tribute to such an obvious blessing. Mackland would be crushed if he wasn't allowed to buy some ridiculously expensive present to demonstrate his pride and affection in typical Ames fashion. The teen relented.
Dean had been looking forward to the event since, playing different scenarios in his mind as he whittled away the last few weeks of the winter term in a boring classroom. He'd always wanted to go to Vegas, but then Reno was tempting, as was the sunny L.A. coast.
Honestly, just the idea of hitting the road for a weekend of complete freedom was the most appealing aspect. He might not have a group of friends to mark the milestone with, but Caleb was better than a bunch of kids he wouldn't recall after graduation. Dean would always remember Caleb. Even if at that moment all the seventeen-year-old wanted to do was forget everything about him-especially the pain of losing him.
Unfortunately, as his family reached their destination, Dean was faced with the fact haunting reminders were lurking in the shadows everywhere. His father pulled the Impala in front of the barn at Pastor Jim's. Spot-lighted by the Chevy's headlights, Caleb's Jeep was impossible to ignore.
Seeing as how several cars already lined the gravel parking area in front of Jim Murphy's drive, John drove a little way down to the front of the barn. The Impala's headlights reflected on the other vehicle parked there, illuminating the back of the dusty blue Jeep. The New York on the mud-smeared license plate was barely visible and a sharp ache lanced through Winchester's heart as he remembered ribbing Caleb the last time he'd saw him about the dirt being the only thing holding the old heap together.
Reaves might not have shared his and Dean's love of classic cars, but he loved the old Wrangler for a lot of reasons. For one, Bobby and John had bought it for him. The three of them along with Dean had worked on it to get it running and road-ready. You would have thought the kid was being presented with a prized Ferrari when they were finished. The look on the fifteen-year-old's face was worth every moment of the tongue lashing The Scholar had doled out.
To say Ames had not been pleased was an understatement, but to the man's credit he kept it together until he got Singer and Winchester alone. John knew the boy could have had any vehicle money could buy, but Caleb surprised them all by holding onto the old 4x4.
Caleb, underneath it all, didn't have the heart to let go of things that mattered to him. He was loyal and sentimental. It would have killed him to know how easy it was for his mentor to see the weak spots. How many times had John used that information against him in the name of doing what was best in the long run? Did Caleb know how much John loved him?
Sam's soft voice broke John's dark reverie. He realized he had turned off the ignition, but was sitting frozen in place. He wasn't sure how long he had been that way, but his youngest son was staring at him with concern. Dean was no longer in the car, the passenger door standing wide open. "I'm okay, Sammy."
"Dean will be okay, too." Maybe. John opened his own door and waited for the other boy to do the same. "Let's go inside, Kiddo."
Sam didn't know what his father was basing his judgment on because he had never seen his brother in such a state. Dean hadn't spoken during the entire five hour trip to Kentucky.
Even when Sam had tried to talk to him while they were packing their things, his brother had remained silent. When Sam started to cry, Dean had slipped his arm over his shoulders, pulled him close and ran a hand over his hair in comfort. But, he hadn't spoken to Sam.
It was unnatural and scary. Dean always talked, even when Sam didn't want him to. Dean always knew what to say to make things better.
Maybe nothing would be better again.
Chapter 2 coming on December 8th.

text: "Inspiration that remains in the mind is worthless" Hi everyone, I have had a passion for writing since I was a young boy; winning several competitions in my younger days. I thought it was about time that I started to develop my writing skills with a view to getting work published. I am in the process of completing a writing course which is thoroughly enjoyable. I am writing a book about my life, but also like to write non fiction articles and short fiction stories; in fact I just like to write - I'm sure my writing preferences will become apparent as I continue with trying to achieve my goals. Being new to this site is extremely exciting; hopefuly I can interact with people with the same passions and similar expectations. Kind regards Carlton

Let's meet lovely animals at Cactus park!
Izu Cactus Park was opened in 1959. Because of its name, it is often assumed that it is a botanical garden with cactuses only. In fact, Izu Cactus Park was designed for different animals and different plants as a part of the main park.
The pyramid-shaped greenhouse is a symbol of this park. It exhibits various cactuses brought from across the world. Among them, large ball cactuses called "the king of cactus" attract attention. Many of them are over 100 years old. The largest and oldest one is said to be 160 years! At a souvenir shop, you can choose your favorite cactuses and plant them together in one pot.
Animals here are so popular to draw many tourists. I think the most popular one is capybaras. They started to attract attention after the park began to let them enjoy bathing in hot spring water in winter. They look so relaxing! Actually they are my favorite and recommendation. I believe it makes many people happy. When the bathing season starts at the end of November every year, the capybaras are featured on local TV with the TV presenters saying that this shows the beginning of winter season. Their bathing starts at 10:30am, you'll see a crowd of people around the area. It is recommendable to go earlier there. Don't miss it!
Another must-see event is "Presentation & Recital by the animals of Izu Cactus Park". The animals appearing on the stage are dogs, monkeys, birds and so on. The people who come to see the performance loves the cute animals.
Other various kinds of events are also good, such as feeding animals like squirrels. Visitors of all ages can enjoy a whole day here.

There are some restaurants and a souvenir shop. Souvenir goods featuring capybaras are my recommendation, of course!

Just next to Izu Cactus Park, a green hill with a unique shape draws our attentions. The hill called Mt. Omuro. It looks like an upside-down bowl. It is a result of volcanic activities in ancient times with a crater of 300 meters in diameter and 70 meters in depth. It was designated as a natural monument. It is now beautifully covered with green grasses and attracts many visitors. The chairlift service is available to get to the top. You can command a 360 degree great view of the ocean, fishing ports, rich greenery and Mt. Fuji in distance when the weather is fine, while walking around the crater rim.

Chapter 4 - Part 1
As Alyxandra, with her body aching and her eyes stinging with the remnants of old tears, ascended the stairs of the tavern that night, she heard Alceren's last words to her again and again, echoing through her mind. Although she wished that she could erase her words from his memory, willed with all her strength to have composed a better mask, he had, by his mere perception, discovered the deepest secrets of her being and had seen the agony in her eyes. She did not understand how Alceren, barely more than a stranger to her, had effortlessly drawn the words from her throat. It was with this thought that realised something; she knew almost nothing about him, save his name, and place of birth, and yet, as he had sat there patiently, something about him, perhaps his gentle smile or his soft words, had unhinged her.
With this final thought crossing her mind, she reached the bedroom door, a new wave of weariness now resting upon her shoulders. She unlocked the door and made her way inside. It was not a large room, nor was it well decorated, but seeing the simple bed alone brought a weak smile to her face. She sat on the bed, and took off her boots, placing them in the corner, kept in shadow by the dim candlelight. She placed her fingertips at her temples and began to remove the lavender circlet; soon it lay upon the tiny table next to the bed, next to the stump of candle in a bronze dish, there to catch the wax as it dripped down the side of the candle. Before long, her belt lay over the stool in the opposite corner, and her bow, quiver and sword hidden from view under the bed. She hung her cowl on the stool also, before draping her tunic and trousers over the end of the bed. Beneath that, a long shift, that covered her legs down to her ankles and reached her wrists at the arm.
Feeling a little more comfortable, she lay down to sleep, extinguishing the dying candle in one sharp breath. As her eyes closed, and that fateful fire began to dance over her eyes once more, Alceren, in the next room, lay on his own bed, waiting for sleep to come. As L'Eysharia's servant entered his room, unseen, to close his eyes, she was frozen by the sound of moaning, and unsettled by this, suddenly disappeared. This sound, preventing Alceren from receiving his sleep, unsettled him, for he knew that Alyxandra, bravely but in vain, was again fighting to save her parents from their inescapable fate, hoping in sleep to fulfil the desires of her lonely heart. As each cry, each plea, to bring her parents back caught on Alceren's ears, it tugged at his conscience, filling him with an ineffable guilt, until he could bear it no longer.
He rose from the bed and, draping his robes over his body, hurried across the corridor, reaching the doorway, the sound muffled a little by its thickness. He twisted the handle, and found it unlocked, entered quietly, and saw her writhing in the darkness, crying into her pillow, tormented by the very thing that was meant to bring her rest and brief reprieve. He came over to the bed, the force at the doorway of his heart once more, close to unhinging the door again, forcing the hero, the elf with no emotion, to kneel by the bed and gently place his cool hand over Alyxandra's burning forehead.

History has revealed that the best-performing stocks during the previous decades have been those that shelled out ever-increasing cash to shareholders in the form of dividends. Unfortunately for the individual investor, most dividend analysis that we've seen out there is backward-looking - meaning it rests on what the company has done in the past: how long it has raised its dividend, etc.
Although analyzing historical trends is important, we think assessing what may happen in the future is even more important. That is why we created a forward-looking assessment of dividend safety through our innovative, predictive dividend-cut indicator, the Valuentum Dividend Cushion™. We use our future forecasts for free cash flow and expected dividends and consider the company's net cash position to make sure that each company is able to pay out such dividend obligations to you -- long into the future. In this article, let's evaluate the dividend of Danaher (NYSE:DHR).
First of all, Danaher's dividend yield is well below average, barely offering a payout at all. We prefer yields above 3% and don't include firms with yields below 2% in our dividend portfolio.
This may come as no surprise, but we think the safety of Danaher's dividend is EXCELLENT (please see our definitions at the bottom of this article). Frankly, we're not sure what the board is looking at, and we'd like to see some activism to push for more shareholder-friendly policies. We measure the safety of the dividend in a unique but very straightforward fashion. As many know, earnings can fluctuate in any given year, so using the payout ratio in any given year has some limitations. We know that companies won't cut the dividend just because earnings have declined or they had a restructuring charge that put them in the red for the quarter (year). As such, we think that assessing the cash flows of a business is a better way to determine whether a firm has the capacity to continue paying dividends well into the future.
That has led us to develop the forward-looking Valuentum Dividend Cushion™. The measure is a ratio that sums the existing cash a company has on hand plus its expected future free cash flows over the next five years and divides that sum by future expected dividends over the same time period. Basically, if the score is above 1, the company has the capacity to pay out its expected future dividends. As income investors, however, we'd like to see a score much larger than 1 for a couple reasons: 1) the higher the ratio, the more "cushion" the company has against unexpected earnings shortfalls, and 2) the higher the ratio, the greater capacity a dividend-payer has in boosting the dividend in the future.
For Danaher, this score is 24.7, offering both a very large "cushion" and revealing excess capacity for future dividend growth. The magnitude of the Dividend Cushion score reveals Danaher's capacity to raise its dividend significantly. The beauty of the Dividend Cushion is that it can be compared apples-to-apples across companies. For example, Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) scores a 1.5 on this measure. We use the dividend cushion as a key decision component in choosing companies for addition to the portfolio of our Dividend Growth Newsletter.
Now on to the potential growth of Danaher's dividend. As we mentioned above, the larger the "cushion" the larger capacity a company has to raise the dividend. However, such dividend growth analysis is not complete until after considering management's willingness to increase the dividend. Therefore, we evaluate the company's historical dividend track record. If there have been no dividend cuts in 10 years, the company has a nice growth rate, and a nice dividend cushion, its future potential dividend growth would be EXCELLENT, which is the case for Danaher.
In the image above (the matrix), one can see that Danaher has a very, very strong dividend--the cross section of its EXCELLENT safety and EXCELLENT future potential growth scores. And because capital preservation is also an important consideration for all investors, we assess the risk associated with the potential for capital loss. In Danaher's case, we think the shares are fairly valued, so the risk of capital loss is MEDIUM. If we thought Danaher was undervalued, we'd consider the risk to be LOW.
All things considered, we like the potential growth and safety of Danaher's dividend, but the yield is a bit low to get us excited. We'd wait for a dividend increase or a pullback in the shares to consider it a nice income play at these levels. The board needs to take some action to get shareholders excited. The glossary below shows how we rate a company's dividend in each key area:

A phase-sensitive four-wave mixing (FWM) scheme enabling the simultaneous conversion of the two orthogonal quadratures of an optical signal to different wavelengths is demonstrated for the first time under dynamic operation using a highly nonlinear optical fiber (HNLF) as the nonlinear medium. The scheme is first optimized with respect to the power levels and phases of the four phase-coherent pumps. The successful modulation and wavelength conversion of the two complex quadratures of a quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal to two binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) signals is then demonstrated experimentally with no power penalty at a bit-error-ratio (BER) of 10−9 compared to direct interferometric demodulation of the QPSK signal.

We are proud to announce our newest partnership with Boca Java as we work together to lift the spirits of our troops and families!
Boca Java™, a family-owned Colorado Coffee company, is a national provider of over 100 different artisan roast-to-order coffees. In October 2003, a soldier in Iraq contacted Boca Java requesting a coffee donation. The letter went on to explain there were many things the troops have to go without, but a few things, like a good cup of coffee would really be appreciated. Boca Java mailed out several boxes and received a nice email back in November of 2003 that demonstrated how much they appreciated the support.
Since 2005, Boca Java and their customers have donated over 7.6 Million cups of fresh roasted coffee to troops serving honorably overseas. Now, in 2012, the USO has partnered with Boca Java to bring coffee to our troops around the world. Boca Java will match each bag donated by our customers to support the USO2GO program until the end of the year.
Head on over to the official partner site today and for as little at $7.99, you can donate a bag of coffee to the troops and Boca Java will match your donation bag for bag! – Joseph P. Scannell, New Media Intern

THE FACTS: Carmelo Anthony scored 12 of his game-high 36 points in the final seven minutes Friday night, lifting the New York Knicks out of an 11-point deficit and to a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Target Center. Anthony was 4-for-6 in the stretch, including a running hook shot across the lane with 2:37 to play that gave New York its first lead of the final period.
The Knicks, who won for the sixth time in seven games, outscored Minnesota 24-7 over the final seven minutes to overcome an 87-76 deficit and beat the Wolves for the fourth straight meeting. It's the second straight time Anthony has almost single-handedly pulled out a win over Minnesota; when the teams met in Madison Square Garden in December, Anthony scored 19 fourth-quarter points to pull out a three-point victory.
Luke Ridnour led Minnesota with 20 points, while Derrick Williams added 19 and Ricky Rubio 18 points and 11 assists for the Wolves, who concluded a six-game homestand with a 1-5 record. Minnesota has lost 14 of its last 16 games.
Tyson Chandler blocked two Wolves shots in the final minute to preserve the Knicks' lead, and J.R. Smith, who finished with 15 points, converted a three-point play with 19.9 seconds to hold off Minnesota. Smith and his fellow New York reserves outscored Minnesota's bench, 41-21.
QUOTABLE: "He wasn't going to let us lose."
-- Knicks coach Mike Woodson, on Anthony
THE STAT: 1-for-13 -- Minnesota's 3-point shooting on Friday, a 7.7 percent success rate that illustrated one of the biggest differences between the teams. The Wolves are the NBA's worst 3-point shooting team, while the Knicks -- who weret 8-for-26, or 30.8 percent -- are the second-best, and have made the most in the league.
TURNING POINT: The Knicks, having trouble keeping up with Minnesota's quick three-guard offense, trailed by eight points when they inserted center Tyson Chandler into the game with 6:30 to play, and the change paid big dividends. From that point, the Wolves scored only seven more points, while New York, with Anthony and Smith providing most of the offense, rallied for the win. Chandler had two rebounds and two blocked shots on the defensive end during the fourth period, and knocked down Rubio's desperation drive in the final 10 seconds.
QUOTABLE II: "I tried my best. It's a little tough -- he's a superstar. You can't complain. It does get frustrating when little touch fouls go back-to-back, but you've just got to keep playing."
-- Minnesota forward Derrick Williams, on trying to guard Carmelo Anthony
HOT: As brilliant as Anthony's 12-point fourth quarter was, it was matched by an unlikely scorer -- Wolves guard Luke Ridnour -- in the third quarter. The 10-year veteran made all five of his shots, including three step-back jumpers from 15 feet, plus both of his free throws, and added two assists as well, leading Minnesota to a 31-18 advantage in the period.
NOT: The Knicks entered the second half holding a seven-point lead, but combined defensive breakdowns and poor offensive decision-making to surrender the lead and fall six points behind by the end of the period. New York had more turnovers (three) than assists (two) in the period, made only 7-of-20 shots (35 percent), and a visibly annoyed Woodson lectured Anthony during a timeout about defending the Wolves' pick-and-roll.
FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: It's clear that the playing-time restrictions on Rubio, back after reconstructive knee surgery, have been lifted. The Spanish point guard played a season-high 39 minutes on Friday, his third straight game with more than 30 minutes. Rubio's play warrants the extra time, too; he scored 18 points with 11 assists, and converted a pair of spectacular plays, including a layup he somehow spun into the basket while running full speed.
INSIDE THE ARENA: Wolves forward Kevin Love sat behind Minnesota's bench, his first appearance at Target Center since undergoing surgery on his right hand Jan. 15. Love has been in New York since the surgery, rehabbing the injury under doctor's care. ... Tubby Smith, coach of 18th-ranked University of Minnesota, was in attendance, as was his senior center, Trevor Mbakwe.
GOOD MOVE: The Knicks trailed by 11 points, 87-76, with seven minutes left, when Anthony took over New York's offense. Minnesota's Williams played a physical defense in trying to contain him, but Anthony had too many moves to be shut down -- a 12-foot pull-up, a drive under the basket for a reverse layup, a sweeping hook shot across the lane. The league's second-leading scorer put up 12 points in seven minutes to pull out the victory and finish with 36 points.
BAD MOVE: A 24-second violation by the Knicks gave Minnesota the ball with 33.1 seconds remaining and a one-point deficit, 95-94. After a timeout, the Wolves tried to get the ball inside to Nikola Pekovic, with Ridnour driving toward the basket in hopes of dropping the ball off to his center. In traffic in the lane, though, Ridnour lost control of the ball and tried to launch it toward the hoop, but it was batted away by Chandler, ending the Wolves' best chance at an upset.
ROOKIE WATCH: With a 3-for-10 night from the field, Wolves guard Alexey Shved failed to make half of his shots for the 13th consecutive game. In fact, he's made less than 40 percent in 10 straight games, a slump in which he has made just 31 of 102 shots (30.0 percent).
NOTABLE: With a snowstorm hammering New York, the Knicks arranged to stay in Minneapolis another night, rather than fly home immediately after the game as they had planned. The Knicks' current plan is to bus to the airport early Saturday, in hopes of being cleared to fly east sometime in the morning. Woodson said the team would hold a walk-through in a Minneapolis hotel ballroom if necessary to prepare for their upcoming game against the Clippers. ... Knicks guard Jason Kidd recorded four assists, including the 12,000th of his career on a fourth-quarter 3-pointer by J.R. Smith. Kidd ranks second all-time in career assists, behind John Stockton (15,806). ... Minnesota guard J.J. Barea injured his left foot while committing an offensive foul with 5:38 left in the second quarter, and returned to the locker room for treatment. But he recovered and played 13 minutes in the second half. ... The Timberwolves were without forward Andrei Kirilenko for the second straight game due to a strained quad, and coach Rick Adelman suggested before the game that Kirilenko might not play again until after the upcoming All-Star break, missing three more games. In his place, Mickael Gelabale, who earlier in the day signed a contract for the rest of the season, got his second start. Forward Chris Johnson also signed a contract for the rest of the season on Friday, as his second 10-day contract expired. To make room, the Wolves waived veteran Lou Amundson, who signed as a free agent in September.
UP NEXT: For the Knicks, Sunday vs. L.A. Clippers, Wednesday vs. Toronto, Feb. 20 @ Indiana. For the Timberwolves, Sunday @ Memphis, Monday @ Cleveland, Wednesday vs. Utah.

When Plymouth City Council first reviewed software for their joinery workshop their prime concern was CE Marking. As a local authority, audited regularly, they needed to be compliant. They investigated Joinerysoft's Joinery Management Software (JMS) solely because it provided this feature but found time savings in quoting, professional reports and improved communication, both in the workshop and with customers, made the case for purchase easily justifiable.
"JMS has definitely helped us to win orders - no question at all, by the speed of quoting and professional presentation."

JustClick Carbon Fiber Magnetic Car Mount
The Escort III dagger is knife made from a solid stack of three different types of aerospace grade carbon fiber:
The blade is made up of 12 layers of carbon, while the handle is made up of a total of 36 layers of carbon fiber.
You would think all those layers would weigh this carbon fiber knife down...but think again. The design is ultra lightweight, weighing in at just 20.67 grams, under one ounce...while still remaining insanely strong! The knife is 9" long and 1.250" wide with a blade thickness of .100" and handle thickness of .300". It is made 100% in the USA.
Please keep in mind that carbon fiber does not offer a super sharp blade on the knife, it's not really meant for cutting, but rather for self-defense/stabbing or as an art/decorative knife...or even a beautiful letter opener. The blade does not hold an edge, but can be "sharpened' by simply using a sandpaper or even a sharpening stone.

While much of the news around California of late has been about the departure of two coaches to Washington, there is some good news: Two highly-regarded recruits have enrolled in school and began attending classes Tuesday on the first day of the spring semester.
From the press release:
QB Zach Kline (Danville, CA/San Ramon Valley HS) and OL Christian Okafor (Houston, TX/Westbury HS) graduated from their respective high schools in December and are slated to participate in the Golden Bears' practices this spring.
Kline is rated the nation's No. 3 quarterback by Rivals and was a high school All-American in 2011, participating in the Under Armour All-America Game and also being listed by SuperPrep as an All-American. In addition to his ranking by Rivals, Kline is listed among the nation's top quarterbacks by Scout (No. 4), ESPN (No. 4) and MaxPreps (No. 6 pro style). He ranks as high as the No. 58 player overall nationally according to ESPN. Kline was named the Gatorade California Football Player of the Year and a first-team member of the San Francisco Chronicle's All-Metro squad as a senior when he completed 230-of-341 passes for a school-record 67.4 completion percentage, a school-record-tying 36 touchdowns and 3,630 passing yards to rank fourth in the state of California and No. 18 nationally. He is a four-star recruit of ESPN, MaxPreps, Scout, Rivals and 247Sports.
Okafor is a four-star recruit according to ESPN and MaxPreps. ESPN ranks him No. 30 nationally among offensive tackles, while Scout has him at No. 34.

This is how it ended.
The streets of Venice gave way to the great building where I resided. My loft apartment was high, so high. It must have been miles of stairs to reach the top. I was breathless and broken but still I pressed on, fueled by fears. Maybe by love.
All my life I'd doubted my abilities to feel, to really understand the way my heart might flutter when I was pressed to the chest of someone else. I was a demon, a dark and soulless creature. And that was all there was to it. This was not some fairytale; I was no princess. I was a curse.
The stairs fell away from me as I ran, clinging to the railing to keep from falling. Somewhere along the way I'd kicked off my heels, leaving them behind. I was moving faster, faster, and all the while my panic was building into something much like apathy.
I blinked hard, trying to feel Everette's presence. Instead everything felt empty. I didnt know if he was here or if he was already ten-thousand miles away. I didnt know much of anything, really, except that I needed to find him. Throw my arms around him and never let go. Because finding love was rare enough, so when it stumbled into your life, you were meant to hold tightly no matter what. Without love, the world was left to darkness, devoured by the maddening ways of the hopeless. Without love, the sky would always be gray and the roses would never, never bloom.
At last I stood before my door. My hand was trembling as I reached for the handle, fingers shaking as they wrapped around it. Behind closed eyes I could picture him perfectly. His black hair always falling into his bloodred eyes. His sardonic smirk as he pulled me into his arms, pressing his lips to my forehead. I could hear the way he sounded when he moved through me in the night, when he whispered that he loved me.
I threw the door open and stepped inside. I was met with darkness, shadows and nothing else. A thin trail of moonlight filtered in from the open window, but there was no breeze to move the curtains. All was still. Still, and deathly silent.
"Everette," I called out, speaking softly in an uneven voice. No reply.
And then I heard it, like it had been waiting for me all along. One sound to shatter the reverberating silence. It was loud enough to wake the whole damn world from their slumber.
I was but a blur of movement, running past the kitchen, the bedroom. Both were dark. At the end of the hall, the bathroom door stood open. I fumbled for the light switch for but a moment, and when at last I found it, I was forced to squint against the brightness of the fluorescent lights coming on overhead.
It's hard to describe exactly what I felt in that moment. First came the screams, ricocheting off the walls around me. My hands flew to my mouth as my eyes took in the scene before me. All the while my heart was thudding dully in my chest, a fading beat I so longed to simply stop. Maybe then this all would make sense, when I was gone. Because there couldnt be any sense in staying here with the pain, not now.
"Everette!" I cried, falling to my knees at his side. My bare leg brushed against the cool metal gun; I kicked it as far away as I could. The vampire had one hand over his chest, a hand coated in the blood that now bubbled up from the bullet hole. The one driven straight to his heart.
"Calla," he croaked, a voice painfully soft, as if he could barely even speak. He turned his face towards me, trying to muster a smile. In the end it came out as a grimace, and tears were pouring off my cheeks onto him. I took his hand in my own, clutching it tightly. Brought it to my lips and kissed every finger.
"Why...What..." I tried to find the words, but nothing would come.There was nothing to be said.
Everette laughed a little at my stuttering. He almost sounded alright again, but then it turned into a harsh coughing sound, one that had me wincing."I love you, Calla," he whispered. "I love you enough to set you free. I lived my life. Now it's your time to shine. You cant do that with me around."
He turned away from me again, his face concealed by darkness. Like he didnt want me to see him anymore, to see the way he'd given up. I realized then that we werent monsters, not really. Maybe we were soulless and damned and killers by nature. But who you are doesnt make you a monster. It's what you do that makes you a monster. And I didnt think any true demon could love the way we had.
I leaned in towards him and rested my head against his shoulder, letting the sobs take over my body. For a long while I stayed like that, holding tightly to the only thing I'd ever been sure of. At last Everette's breathing faltered. Then stopped. And I was left alone again.
I lifted my head to look at him. His pale skin was even colder than before, and the fires had all died out in his thirsty eyes. With one final tremor of tears, I leaned in to kiss his cheek, his forehead, and finally his lips. "Goodnight, angel," I whispered against his mouth. Then I let go of his hand, stood up, and turned off the lights.

Jed and Rob returned just as Chris and Joe were hauling a couple of the bodies out of the lobby. Cancer was busy checking and rechecking that every corpse was truly dead and was then giving the other two the go ahead to move them. Mr and Mrs Hartness spent their time fixing up the barricades on the main entrance and glancing nervously over at their teenage son. Joe was determined to make himself helpful though, more helpful than falling on his ass. His mother, of course, had protested when he offered to help Chris but his father had gently reminded his wife that Joe needed to learn and grow strong for himself.
The days of overbearing protectiveness had to be put behind them now.
They were taking the bodies out towards the back of the hotel into one of the various unused rooms. It wasn't a permanent solution; the hygiene and smell would soon take its toll, but at the minute they just needed to get their bearings and rest up. Upon heading back into the lobby, Joe noticed that Cancer was just slipping out whilst the others were busy. He had his gun in one hand, knife in the other and his bag slung across his shoulders. He caught Joe's eye on the way out and nodded a silent goodbye.
Not in the least bit surprised but a little disappointed, Joe followed after him.
Only a few paces ahead and Joe managed to catch up with Cancer's fast pace.
'Why are you following me?' he grunted, rather abrasively.
'To make sure that you get out okay,' Joe replied lamely. He knew Cancer was more than capable of handling himself, but he still felt indebted to him after having his life saved. Cancer shrugged, half smiling, and let it go. They got to the second floor, near Cancer's room, and Joe led the way to the end of the hall way. The windows here hadn't been barricaded; they served as one of the many escape routes due to the fire exit that snaked up the side of the hotel and finished directly outside the window. Joe wasn't holding out much hope that this area would be clear, particularly due the recent bout of gunfire that had been unleashed. His instinct didn't betray him as he looked out grimly. There weren't as many as he thought, but there was still a fair few.
Cancer shrugged, like it was no big deal and began checking all his weapons were with him.
'You're actually going out there?' Joe frowned.
'Gotta find Rayn,' he replied, like it was the simplest thing in the world. Joe didn't bother asking who Rayn was; there wasn't much point.
'Good luck,' Joe said, rather sickly. He wasn't sure if he'd see Cancer again.
'Thanks, you too.' Cancer opened the window with ease and slid out. He gripped his knives, hesitated only for a split second and then began the descent. Joe watched him run agilely through the lingering creatures, shoving them aside as easily as if they were mere pests. Whenever one got too close, he would bury his knife deep in its skull and continue onwards. Nothing was stopping him.
Joe made sure that Cancer made it to the end of the alleyway unscathed and when he disappeared, Joe shut the window again.
He didn't dwell on the fact that they were one person short or what the others might say. He had better start getting used to saying goodbye to people because he doubted it would be the last time he'd have to do that.
He wandered back downstairs, feeling a little despondent.
The first thing he noticed was Carol, crying quietly to herself whilst helping the others to clean up. Feeling a little sympathetic and guilty that he hadn't managed to help her, Joe asked her if she was okay. She jumped at his voice, dropping the arms of the corpse she was dragging. Tears streaked her cheeks red and she was breathing heavily. Joe noticed a patch of blood seeping through the sleeve of her blouse. She nodded at him, not realizing that Joe was beginning to piece things together.
'That yours?' he inclined his head towards her wound, already feeling his stomach start to stir uneasily.
She stiffened and shook her head. She denied it too quickly though and the shifty manner in which her eyes flitted between Joe and the others clued him in immediately. He felt sicker than ever and the guilt flooded throughout his entire body. He had brought this on; he hadn't managed to save her and now she was going to die.
He plastered on a reassuring smile though. 'It's okay Carol. You can tell me.' He needed her to say it for herself, maybe then she'd believe what was happening.
She clutched his arm tightly suddenly intent, fear clouding her eyes. 'I don't want to die. I don't want to end up being one of them.' Her voice came out no louder than a whisper but Joe felt like she had just screamed at him. He felt like she was screaming at him that he had killed her. He had failed to save her hadn't he?
He pried her desperate fingers away from him and held her hand. 'Carol we have to tell the others.'
'I can't,' she was full on crying now. A couple of the others began to notice.
Joe shook his head. 'I'm not keeping it a secret, I'm sorry Carol. Maybe they can help you?' He knew even as he was speaking the words that they were futile. The only thing that could help her now was a bullet in the brain. He tried to gently lead her towards the others but she ripped her grasp away from him and backed away, back into the corner of the lobby where she sank to the floor and put her head in her hands.
Jed appeared beside Joe in an instant. 'Is she okay?'
Joe looked at him sadly, shaking his head. Jed let out a long sigh. Chris and Joe's parents came over at that point.
'What is it?' Chris demanded.
'We have a problem,' Joe muttered, looking back over at Carol.
'Oh fuck,' Chris hissed and grabbed his gun. Before any of them could react to this, Jed grabbed the end of Chris' gun and forced it down, glaring sternly at him.
'We are not killing her,' Jed stated with authority that Joe had never witnessed in him before. He always thought the man was a bit soft and had the potential for others to walk over him, but right now nobody was messing with him. Chris relaxed slightly, though Joe could tell he was itching to protest. Rob went to go and comfort Carol, who ended up sobbing harder into his arms.
Mrs Hartness pulled her teenage son closer while the others discussed options. Isolation was a certain possibility and it was only Chris who kept bringing up the bullet-in-her-brain idea.
'She's already dead, what do you want to do? Wait until she turns and kills the rest of us?'
'You're talking about murder,' Mr Hartness pointed out. 'Carol is still living and breathing like the rest of us. Isn't there a cure?'
Chris scoffed. 'If there is a cure do you really think that the world would be in this state? Don't you think scientists might have made it known?'
'Who says there are any scientists left? What's to say the dead didn't eat them all?' Mr Hartness retorted.
'Andrew,' his wife whispered softly. They all looked towards Rob and Carol, who were now making their way over. Joe stifled a gasp at how much of a bad turn Carol had taken. In just the few short minutes it had taken for them to discuss Carol's fate, her skin had already taken on a chalky pallor, made all the more prominent by the purple circles lining her eyes. She was shuffling, clutching her arm. Joe noticed the skin beneath her fingertips had turned a sickening shade of green and the wound was flaring angrily.
She doesn't have much time, Rob mouthed. Carol looked at them all; the fear had been replaced by pain and fatigue.
'I heard you talking,' she spoke, her voice cracked and barely audible.
Jed looked at her apologetically. Chris had taken a firmer grip on his gun. Mr and Mrs Hartness formed protective stances in front of their son who was peering out cautiously. Rob was the only one who could stand to be within a two feet radius with her, his arm still draped around her shoulders.
'I know I'm dead.'
'We don't know that,' Joe's mum spoke softly, inching forwards. Carol looked at her, a small smile playing at her lips and had been about to say something when her features twisted in pain and she let out a strangled cry before dropping to her knees. Her whole body shook violently, like she was fitting.
'Fuck this,' Chris grimaced, pain and regret tainting his words. He took a prominent step forwards and pointed the gun between the woman's eyes. Nobody could stop him in time, Jed had been about to. The words NO were formed on his lips, but he could not act quickly enough. A deafening noise filled the air around them and Carol's body slumped to the floor, now still forever with Chris' gun pointing in the space that Carol had been moments before.

Beyoncé Wants To Buy A 123-ROOM Mansion For When Her Twins Arrive
Is this a bit much Beyoncé?
Beyoncé is one of the best-selling female artists of all time. She's also married to rap legend Jay-Z.
Real Name: Beyoncé Giselle Knowles
Born: September 4 1981
Star Sign: Virgo
Birthplace: Houston, Texas, USA
Hometown: New York, USA
Did you know?
How Beyoncé found fame:
Bey began her career as a member of Destiny's Child with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The group has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.
Is this a bit much Beyoncé?
Queen Bey's 'Lemonade' sent fans into meltdown, as they tried to identify Jay Z's alleged "mistress," but have we been fooled all along?
The music mogul posted the footage from their big day.
Beyonce and Jay Z have unveiled intimate home videos from their wedding and at home with their daughter Blue Ivy to celebrate the end of their 'On The Run' Tour.
Gigi Hadid, Michelle Keegan, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Drew Barrymore ditch the makeup and go for a natural look.

Beyonce will probably go down in history for a string of hits, but now she has been immortalised in some of histories most famous art works too!
You heard it here first - long hair is OUT for 2015. Going for the snip takes guts though… so which stars are brave enough to ditch their tresses and opt for this thoroughly modern do?
Sharon and Kelly have spoken out on the breakdown of their joint family life and both mother and daughter seem to be surprisingly up beat.
It's certainly a departure from his usual light banter, but it's no less funny...in a dark sort of way.
She was always destined for great things...
Queen Bey invited a very special guest onto the stage at the Global Citizen festival… the rest is history!

The six-stage, 42.195 km West Japan Corporate Women's Ekiden took place Oct. 27 in Munakata, Fukuoka. Team Daihatsu ran a course record 2:17:23 to claim its first title in three years. Team leader Ryoko Kizaki, 4th in the marathon at August's Moscow World Championships, led off with a win on the 6.7 km First Stage, with three more of the team's athletes winning their stages.
Team Otsuka Seiyaku was a close 2nd in 2:17:59, with Team Noritz 3rd. With Moscow bronze medalist Kayoko Fukushi on board, last year's winner Team Wacoal could do no better than 7th, while the Mizuki Noguchi-led Team Sysmex was only 8th.
The top eight teams at the West Japan event qualified for December's National Corporate Women's Ekiden Championships in Sendai, along with any teams 9th or lower who broke 2:23:00. Altogether twelve teams made the grade.

TripAdvisor Reviews The Downtown Duluth Inn
Travel Blogs from Duluth
3 Lighthouses in one spot
... hotel is pretty nice. We plan on getting breakfast on the road tomorrow since the hotel charges for breakfast, but our parking was included which is rare for a downtown hotel. The room is a really nice size. Once we get to a normal small hotel room, we will be really claustrophobic after these nice big rooms.
Some northern Wisconsin for you
... a day off, then take a week to three weeks off. Some just work the entire "season", then take off the winter. Makes sense. They have no place to spend their money and, when they get into town, they cannot get into trouble or no job.
Cindy, the RV park owner said her Dad used to be doctor ...
Loons and Waterfalls
... we saw Common Loons with a baby and Trumpeter Swans (Travis and I got to add these to our Life Lists). The call of a Common Loon is by far my favorite bird call. Wee-ooo quee….. hoooo-lii!!! There was a seven mile driving tour that is nothing but wetlands and ponds on either side of the road. Our species list ended up not being very long but we only spent a brief amount of time at the refuge.

Enger Tower
After spending a day planning out my journey along Lake Superior's North Shore (and eating around Duluth), I was able to enjoy a few more Duluth area sites. Friends Julie and Tim each separately recommended the Skyline Drive and Enger Tower, atop the hill in Duluth. From ...
Mines and more mines
We left Copper Harbor by way of Brockway Mountain Drive along the north side of the Keweenaw Peninsula. This was a very scenic road at approximately 2500 feet above the water level - a long thin ridge. When we got down off the scenic road there were a lot of single family houses along the edge of the water. This peninsula is so narrow we had to go back through Hancock and Houghton and then travelled west to Ontonagon on Lake Superior. ...

A love nest: perfect for 2 lovers!
The area has a couple of parks to offer if you're up for walks whilst it's just a short train ride away from the heart of Berlin!
Roughly 15 mins away from Friedrichstrasse, 20mins from Stadtmitte / Alexander Platz and only 25mins from Warschauer Str.
Loads of food shopping options just 5mins walk away if you're a passionate cook but also great dine-out options for those wanting to treat themselves.
Area is really well connected for both travelling during the day, or at night.

Enigmatic Solutions
"What about him?" I asked, looking over at Roy. He was sitting by himself, not eating anything. He had a notebook open in front of him and seemed to be sketching something inside it.
"Roy Wade. The moment he set step in this school, he was more then just a walking enigma. He was…there's no words. But the girls loved him. They were all crazy about him."
"Like you, he fit in any place. But he liked being by himself, more of a loner. He's quite popular and has lots of friends but to him, there just fake."
"Why are you asking about him anyways? You know him?" Clara asked me.
"Uh-huh…I do. I'll be right back you guys."
Then I got up and walked over to Roy. Many people's eyes were on me as they watched me walk over, but I ignored them. I peeked over his shoulder, and said, "Whatcha doing?"
I expected him to jump, surprised but he didn't even move an inch.
"Hey there Celeste."
I sat down next to him and stared at the open sketchpad in front of him
"Wait a minute. That's me!"
If you were looking for an artist who can draw people's faces exactly like it is, you've found one. Every feature of my face was there. My hair was curly and wavy the way he had drawn them. The grin on my face lit up the drawing and my cheeks were lightly shaded showing my usual rosy cheeks. It was amazing.
"This…this is…a masterpiece!" I exclaimed. "I didn't know you were an artist!"
"With practice, anything can work."
"How long did it take you to sketch this?" I asked him, my eyes still glued to the drawing.
"About five minutes."
"Five minutes?!"
He nodded then after closing the sketchpad and tucking it away in his bag, he faced me and said, "So…I see you've become popular."
"I guess so…"
"So what are you doing hanging out with a loner like me?"
"First of all, you're not a loner. Second of all, you're my friend. Do you want me to leave?" I asked, eyebrow raised.
"No, no. I'm just curious."
Right then the bell for the end of lunch rang. Getting up, I said, "Well, I'll see you around."
Roy nodded at me, and left.
Catching up with Rosalinda and Clara, I followed them to the next class I had.
"What was that all about?" They asked me.
"You and Roy. Everyone was looking at you guys. He normally doesn't talk to anyone and then suddenly you're his friend. It's kind of shocking." Rosalinda informed me.
I shrugged at them. "He's just my friend."
"You've found your enigmatic solution!"
I stared at them strangely then walked into class. Roy and I were friends and if he didn't have any other friends then that's not my problem. He's my friend and I'm his. What's that got to do with enigmatic solutions?

Poet # Seven
Notting's Hill
There stood a great ancient pine tree
way up on Notting's Hill.
It stood up there like a pillar great,
Or maybe a strong windmill.
I liked that tree, from down below
and in the village square;
the elders told me not to go,
themselves, they wouldn't dare.
Oh, Notting's Hill is cursed! they said,
and often with a shiver.
Those who go come back quite changed,
they'd say with voice a-quiver.
Returning changed? How so? I'd ask
in bold, though childish, tones.
The elders only shook their heads and said,
Some things are best unknown.
Unknown? I thought. What lunacy!
All things are better uncovered!
The sun went down, and I stole out
as one might meet a lover.
I started up "cursed Notting's Hill"
the pine tree as my goal,
and not a worry shook my heart,
no fear did shake my soul.
The moon she veiled her face that night
with mist and fog and cloud
Her nebulous veil trailed o'er the earth,
almost like a dead man's shroud.
I bit my lip, swallowed a chill,
determined to finish my climb.
The fog swirled thick, I could hardly see,
but darnit! I would reach that pine!
I crested the hill, held back a sharp gasp:
the great tree was now before me,
wrapped up in many a gauzy grey cloak,
its figure towered now o'er me.
It stood there much taller than I had thought,
and wider too, I saw;
but what surpriséd me most all
was the great wide gaping maw
at the base of that great ancient tree
atop of Notting's Hill:
A door wide open, calling my name,
enticing all of my will.
No choice I had but to approach that tree
enshrou'd in fog and mist.
I poked my head in through the "door"
when lo! A voice! It hissed:
Come here, my child, come here to me.
Who's there?! I cried in fear.
I looked around, no one was there,
but again! That voice! So near!
You came to me, dear boy, against
your "wise" old elders' word.
Your curiosity brought you here,
so I guess it's time you learned
what happens to those who come to me,
and with boughs like outstretched arms
they lowered down and ushered me in,
completely devoid of all charm.
Just let me go back! I cried in dismay,
but the branches proved too thick to pass.
They brushed me into the old tree's heart
and closed the "door". No light dared pass
into the old tree in which I found
my tremble-ling, fear-filled heart.
Please let me go loose! I tried yet again,
but the voice shushed me ere I could start.
Now now, my dear child, no pining here, please,
it scolded with a touch of a smirk.
It's your own fault that you are where you are,
on this night you wanted to lurk.
But now you are here, we'll set down to work:
since you wanted to find what was not
meant to be found, please do come around,
come here to me. Here, sit on the knot.
I can't remember what passed in that tree,
but oh! Pain's here with me still!
I paid a great price for my curious vice
that night on old Notting's Hill.

Email settings configurted properly. I Receive the confirmation email when settings are saved. Helpdesk admins under user settings are configured to receive notification - the check box is checked. Not getting caught up in spam either. However, still not getting the notifications when a ticket is opened, updated, or closed. Everything is checked under email notifications as well. See attached...
any ideas to troubleshoot???
