Self-acceptance and recognition of one's attractiveness- that really works. (Report) Reply

I loved this. All women are not ladies, but those who are carry themselves in a certain way. She carries her self with dignity and self assurance. And if she is beautiful maybe even head a little higher, but with dignity. Hugs, Donna (Report) Reply

From the very beginning of the poem, the poet conveys to us that her attractiveness isn't attributed to her external beauty. I think she haughtily addresses the pretty woman in an overconfident tone telling her that your superficial beauty isn't everything that men seek for; there are also other internal attributes and propensities that make the woman beautiful. As to the poet, she has something powerful inside her that makes men fly around her like A hive of honey bees. It is the fire in her eyes, the flash of her white teeth, the grace of her manner that, that is, things that indicate the beauty of her spirit, which make her appealing to men. Finally, the repetition of Phenomenally/ Phenomenal woman/ That's me. suggests the self-centered orientation of the poem, a thing that emphasizes the proud tone of it. (Report) Reply

If you think this poem is superficial or strange you obviously have not met a woman who people are unusually drawn too. Those magical charismatic woman who exude contagious energy. This energy comes from being authentically and unapologetically themselves which is why the author points to the individual characteristics of her being. Accepting yourself exudes an attractiveness that surpasses the exterior. This energy is not restricted to just woman, although this poem is specifically written about one. There are of course men who also carry confidence in themselves regardless of whether they are handsome or not fitting into societies idea of aesthetically appealing. That confidence is what attract others most of all which is why no-one can quite put their finger on what makes a phenomenal woman (or man) so appealing. They search for a solid answer but energy and self acceptance are not physically visible features, instead they are an intangible yet powerful force felt by all. (Report) Reply

"Phenomenal Woman" is one of the powerful poems that represents the rise of hope and pride of a woman (especially African-American woman) despite the abuse, torture and neglect she has experienced. Instead of being ashamed or guilty or blaming herself, she has gained the hope and strength, which makes her the "Phenomenal Woman". This is one self-confident woman with exceptionally strong compelling persona and very high self-esteem, who loves herself in spite of the discrimination and the exploitation from society and people. The poem uses a special and repetitious pattern in each stanza, e.g. the stanza begins with a description of society's reaction to the woman as they notice her. These reactions are all categorized by wonderment about the vivacious woman, why she is so happy and what others see in her. Ms. Angelou expresses her feeling of a hidden frustration and anger at the society who questions the subject's self-confidence and strength. (Report) Reply

Look it's a nice poem, female empowerment, self confidence, feeling beautiful as a woman, woman's mystique etc... and all that, nothing wrong in it's own right, no disrepect to Maya. But this being no # 1 above hundreds of other much more moving, beautiful, deep, heart stoppingly powerful words that guise themselves out of poetry out there? It's a tad concerning, as the majority of commenters and people on this site appear to be women, this implies that feeling beautiful and confident is on the forefront of the female psyche.... ahead of anything else.

CHAPMANVILLE — The Chapmanville Regional High School soccer team raised its record to 4-3 on the season with Tuesday's 4-3 win at home over Pike Central (Ky.).
The win avenged an earlier 2-0 loss to the Hawks at Pike Central.
Chapmanville's Dillon Renniger came back from a busted nose to score with 1:38 left in regulation to win the match and break a 3-3 tie.
Zach Lamb gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Matt McKinney tied it at 1-1 for the Hawks. Austin Hanshaw then put CRHS on top 2-1 with a booming left-footed 30-yarder.
Pike Central then scored on a corner kick just before the half to tie it up 2-2.
The Hawks then went ahead 3-2 in the second half with a goal by Brady Adkins.
Chapmanville Dylan Brown then tied it 3-3 with a goal.
Goalie Ben Chapman played a good game for the Tigers, head coach Greg Dillon said.
"Ben Chapman saved our bacon once again. He is have a solid career," Dillon said.
Dillon also had praise for several others.
"Joe Toth and Ryan Belcher had a good day on defense. There were several stops and tackles by the lads," he said. "Joe had a yellow card for some infraction we couldn't understand and had to leave the game for a bit. He is a bit overzealous on playing mid. It catches up sometimes. Catherine Carter used her speed and endurance to keep the wings busy all day. She was gutted after the 75th minute and that's when Savannah and Haylie went to work dissecting Pike Central. Catherine did her job and wore them down. The other girls sealed the deal.
"Amber Stokes had several saves on goal as well the beast Christian Stafford. Christian is a rock solid defensive back. He has came a long way from the wide eyed youth this summer. I couldn't ask for a better tandem in the back field."
CRHS also moved Fidelis Nwafor from striker to center mid.
"His leg gives us serious field advantage," Coach Dillon said.
Chapmanville was scheduled to play at Tug Valley on Thursday night. CRHS then plays at Sheldon Clark (Ky.) on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and at Scott on Tuesday evening.
"We hope to be able to compete with these established programs and earn some respect for the young Tigers," Dillon said.

Sofie came up to Cory's truck, with the same look I had.
"Do you know what's going on?" She asked.
I shook my head no, "Nope, and Cory didn't say a word the whole way here!"
"Neither did Chance! They're definitely up to something..." She replied just as irritated as I was.
Cory and Chance soon came over to us, with huge smiles covering their faces.
"Babe, get in the bed."
"What?" I asked. Was he loosing his mind.
"Soph, get in the back seat and stand up." Chance said pointing to his jeep.
"Babe, get in the bed of my truck and stand up." He repeated.
I rolled my eyes, and climbed into the bed of his mud covered jacked up truck. I had no idea what was going on, I looked at the other cars. Every other girl was standing in the back of a tailgate, jeep, or through the sun roof of a car. I looked at Soph and motioned for her to turned around. When she did she quickly spun around, and gave me a what the hell look. I nodded my head and healed on as Cory's truck rumbled and headed towards the school.
* * *
When we approached the school, we all saw the surprise. I turned to Sophie, and she was just as shocked as I was. There was just so many people, how could they all fit in such a tiny school parking lot. Cory opened up the sun roof to see my expression and smiled and when back to looking at the road.
We just couldn't get our heads wrapped around that always these people we're here to support us. I mean the whole school district must have been there. Signs everywhere, people cheering, and there was us al riding down the middle of them. We were all giving them high fives, and then cars stopped. I looked down at Cory.
"Get out and say hi." He winked.
I went to get out of the bed, and the crowd of supporters made a hole so I could jump down. When I got we were swarmed by congratulations, and we're so prouds. The feeling was overwhelming. After about ten minutes of the team and I walking through the crowd we heard something on the loud speaker, it was Coach.
"How about that game? A four to 1 win! And that grand slam by miss Melia Price!"

GHB Trafficking and Abuse
GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, is a powerful central nervous system depressant that is often used illicitly for its euphoric and sedative effects. GHB trafficking and abuse have become of particular concern to law enforcement and public health agencies because of the increasing availability of the drug in some areas, sharp increases in emergency department mentions for GHB since the mid-1990s, and the use of GHB in the commission of drug-facilitated sexual assaults.
GHB analogs often are abused in place of GHB or are used to produce GHB. Common GHB analogs include GBL, BD, GHV, and GVL. (See Table 1.) Both GBL and BD metabolize into GHB upon ingestion. GBL is the most common precursor used in the production of GHB. GVL is abused in place of GHB because it metabolizes into GHV, which produces physiological effects similar to GHB.
|Chemical/Alternative Name
|Precursor for Production
|Metabolizes Into
|furanone di-hydro
|tetramethylene glycol
|butylene glycol
* GHV is not used as a precursor and is not metabolized into another drug.
GHB Used in Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assaults
Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in every region of the country report that GHB appears to be the substance most commonly used in drug-facilitated sexual assaults because of its powerful sedative properties. When used to commit sexual assaults, the drug typically is mixed into victims' drinks--usually without their knowledge--to mask the drug's salty taste. GHB is rapidly absorbed and metabolized by the body. Detectable levels of GHB may remain in urine for approximately 8 to 12 hours and in blood for 4 to 8 hours after ingestion. Routine blood or urine testing does not screen for GHB; therefore, it is important to specifically request a GHB screen as soon after the assault as possible. Detectable levels of undigested GHB may be found in victims' vomit; vomiting is a common effect of GHB use.
GHB is available to varying degrees in every state, and overall availability appears to be increasing slightly. Only a limited number of federal law enforcement agencies report that GHB is readily or widely available. These agencies include the Arizona, New York/New Jersey, South Texas, and Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) programs and the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles Field Divisions of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Most HIDTAs and DEA Field Divisions report that GHB availability is moderate or low; however, nine HIDTAs and six DEA Field Divisions report that availability is increasing.
National Drug Threat Survey (NDTS) 2003 data also indicate increasing GHB availability. NDTS 2003 data reveal that 20.7 percent of state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide report that GHB availability is high or moderate--an increase from 16.4 percent in 2002. More than half (59.0%) of state and local law enforcement agencies report availability as low. However, the percentage of state and local agencies reporting that GHB is not available in their areas decreased to 15.8 percent in 2003 from 29.6 percent in 2002.
DEA drug seizure data also indicate increasing GHB availability. According to DEA System to Retrieve Information From Drug Evidence (STRIDE) data, the amount of GHB samples submitted for testing has fluctuated but increased overall from 100,218 milliliters in 2001, to 77,918.9 milliliters in 2002, to 130,415 milliliters in 2003.
The number of GHB- and GBL-related investigations and arrests is mixed, despite law enforcement reporting and NDTS 2003 and seizure data that indicate slightly increasing GHB availability. According to DEA, the number of arrests for GHB-related offenses increased from zero in 2002 to nine in 2003. Similarly, the number of GHB-related investigations by DEA also increased from 8 in 2002 to 19 in 2003. However, from fiscal year (FY) 2002 to FY2003 the number of Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) GHB- and GBL-related investigations and indictments has decreased. The number of GHB- and GBL-related OCDETF investigations decreased from 18 in FY2002 to 11 in FY2003; the number of indictments also decreased from 9 in FY2002 to 2 in FY2003.
National Forensic Laboratory Information System data indicate that GHB rarely is identified in drug items analyzed by state and local forensic laboratories. In 2002, 12,247 samples were analyzed and identified as club drugs (GHB/GBL, ketamine, MDA, MDEA, MDMA, and PDA), but GHB/GBL accounted for only 4.48 percent (549) of these and less than 1 percent of all drug samples identified. Regionally, forensic laboratories in the South reported the highest number of GHB/GBL items analyzed (363) followed by the Midwest (94), West (77), and Northeast (15).
Adolescents, particularly tenth and twelfth graders, appear to be the predominant users of GHB. Monitoring the Future (MTF) data for 2003 reveal that rates of past year use of GHB among both tenth and twelfth graders were 1.4 percent compared with 0.9 percent among eighth graders. MTF data indicate that past year rates of GHB use among college students (aged 18 to 22) and young adults (aged 19 to 28) were lower than those of tenth and twelfth graders at 0.6 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, in 2002--the most recent year for which such data are available. Although MTF data indicate that adolescents are the predominant users of GHB, Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) data indicate that the predominant GHB user group entering hospital emergency departments for treatment of GHB-induced symptoms is young adults. DAWN data for 2002 indicate that 54.4 percent (1,812 of 3,330) of emergency department (ED) mentions for GHB/GBL were attributed to individuals aged 18 to 25, followed by individuals aged 26 to 34, a group that accounted for 32.2 percent (1,071 of 3,330) of total GHB/GBL ED mentions.
MTF data also reveal that rates of past year use of GHB among adolescents appear to be lower in large metropolitan areas than are rates of use among adolescents in smaller cities and rural areas. According to MTF data, rates of past year use of GHB for eighth (0.6%), tenth (0.9%), and twelfth (1.4%) graders in large metropolitan statistical areas (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia PA-NJ, Detroit, Washington DC-MD-VA, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Boston) were lower than for eighth (0.9%), tenth (1.8%), and twelfth (1.9%) graders in nonmetropolitan statistical areas in 2002, the latest year for which data are available.
DAWN data indicate that Caucasian males account for more GHB/GBL ED mentions than other ethnic or gender groups. DAWN data for 2002 reveal that 98.4 percent (2,978 of 3,330) of ED mentions for GHB/GBL were attributed to Caucasian patients, and 65.8 percent (2,192 of 3,330) of GHB/GBL ED mentions were attributed to male patients.
Oral consumption of liquid GHB is the most common, although capsule and tablet forms also are available, as is powdered GHB, which is snorted. Because of the drug's salty taste, liquid GHB typically is mixed into a beverage.
Users of GHB seek the drug's euphoric and sedative properties. The physical and psychological effects of GHB are largely dose-dependent but are also influenced by factors such as the user's weight and health, whether the drug is taken on a full stomach, and whether the user is well-hydrated. Although potency varies greatly, the onset of the drug's effects generally occurs within 15 to 30 minutes of ingestion, and effects persist typically for 3 to 6 hours.
|Common Effects
|1 gram or less
|Relaxation similar to alcohol intoxication
|1 to 2 grams
|Euphoria, reduced inhibitions, enhanced sensuality and sexuality, increased sensory stimulation
|2 to 4 grams
|Speech and motor skill interference
|4 grams or more
|Agitation, combativeness, confusion, loss of coordination, seizure-like posturing of the limbs, respiratory depression, urinary and fecal incontinence, vomiting, wavering states of consciousness, overdose death

Trends regarding overall GHB use are mixed. MTF data show that from 2002 to 2003, past year use of GHB among eighth graders trended upward from 0.8 to 0.9 percent, remained stable among tenth graders at 1.4 percent, and trended downward among twelfth graders from 1.5 to 1.4 percent; however, none of the rate changes were statistically significant. Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS) data show that lifetime use among young individuals aged 12 to 17 was 3 percent in 2001 and 4 percent in 2002, the latest year for which such data are available. MTF is the only national-level study that tracks past year rates of use of GHB among adults, and only 1 year (2002) of data is available. Nevertheless, MTF data for 2002 reveal that rates of past year use of GHB were higher, albeit only slightly, among young adults aged 19 to 28 (0.8%) than among college students aged 18 to 22 (0.6%).
The consequences of GHB use appear to be stabilizing. According to DAWN data, the estimated number of GHB ED mentions increased sharply from 1995 (145) to 2000 (4,969) but then decreased to 3,340 in 2001. In 2002, the estimated number of ED mentions for GHB trended downward, although not significantly, to 3,330.
GHB is produced illegally in domestic and foreign laboratories; however, there are no generally accepted estimates as to how much GHB is produced illegally each year. Law enforcement sources report that GHB is produced in most regions of the country; seven HIDTAs--Central Florida, Midwest, Nevada, North Texas, Oregon, Rocky Mountain, and South Florida--report production in their areas. Nevertheless, DEA El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) National Clandestine Laboratory Seizure System (NCLSS) data show that the number of reported GHB laboratory seizures is low and decreased from 13 in 2001 to 7 in 2002 to 2 in 2003. California law enforcement agencies reported the highest number of GHB laboratory seizures each year from 1999 through 2001; however, in 2002 Oregon led all states with 2 seizures. California and Connecticut each reported 1 seizure in 2003.
Prescription Form of GHB
Transportation and Distribution
Foreign-produced GHB that is distributed and consumed in the United States typically is smuggled into the country from Canada, Europe, Mexico and, to a lesser extent, Israel. GHB is most often transported into the United States via commercial airlines, mail services, or private vehicles. Domestically produced GHB is typically transported from laboratory sites to drug markets via private vehicles or mail services. Middle-class Caucasian males between 18 and 30 years of age are the predominant distributors of GHB; however, African American gangs and local independent dealers are active in GHB distribution as well. GHB typically is distributed at raves as well as at nightclubs, bars, gyms, and on college and high school campuses. GHB also is sold over the Internet, where it is often falsely marketed as cleaning products and nail polish remover. At the retail level, GHB is packaged in plastic bottles and sold to teens and young adults, usually for $5 to $30 per dose. A capful, typically the size of the cap from a small water bottle, is the most common dosage unit at the retail level.
Operation Webslinger
GHB use will likely remain limited. MTF has recorded past year rates of use for GHB among eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders only for the past 4 reporting years (2000-2003). MTF began recording past year rates of use for GHB among adults only in 2002. Therefore, accurate analysis of long-term trends in GHB use is not yet possible; however, the data indicate continued limited use in the near term. MTF data show that despite small fluctuations in rates of GHB use among eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders, past year rates of use have not exceeded 2.0 percent in any year among any age group, and rates of use may be trending downward for eighth and twelfth graders. Moreover, MTF data indicate that GHB use has not spread significantly beyond the predominant user group--Caucasian adolescents--to include a greater percentage of other ethnic or age groups.

Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net is hearing that Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib is highly thought of by the Chiefs, Eagles and Jets. Pauline writes that "its not out of the question one of these teams moves back into the late part of round one to select the Syracuse product." All three of these teams will be selecting in the early portion of the second-round, so there's actually a chance that one of them could take Nassib in second, versus trading up for him. Former NFL scout Russ Lande has Nassib listed as the No. 1 player on his Big Board, so you can see the mixed opinions regarding his draft stock right now. The Buffalo Bills have been linked to Nassib given that they hired former Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone last month, so they too could be a team to watch as the draft process plays out. The post Chiefs, Eagles & Jets "Think Highly" Of Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Walking Home
Sharon yawned and covered her mouth. It had been a long night, and the morning seemed to be getting longer and longer. She kept thinking about that poor man getting mugged on the sidewalk.
Those two thugs had attacked that man right out there in front of God and everybody. Had they become so cynical that they didn't think anyone would try to stop them?
She passed the gates to the cemetery as she did on her way home every morning, and she mostly didn't even see them, but this morning was different. Maybe because of the recent violence, she suddenly thought of her own mortality.
She wasn't completely alone in the world,but her brothers and sister lived far away, and most of her friends worked the same shift, and they'd be in bed by now.
She decided to go into the cemetery and visit her parents. She hadn't stopped by for at least a month. She felt guilty, even though her parents had been dead for a long time. Thirty years in two weeks, in fact.
They had been in a car crash on her 17th birthday, coming home with party supplies for her. Her dad died that day. Her mom never did regain consciousness, but she hung on for another two months, and then she died too. She hadn't celebrated her birthday since.

Hi everybody, having problems starting my car.
Right here goes, last week when we had some snow and I mucked about a bit(showing of to the kids) and after that the kick down wouldn't work, then it wouldn't change up in high revs, just a slight juddering. Car drove lovely if it wasn't booted, so took it to a local Indy transmission garage for them to take a look. He read the codes for me and deleted them, car would not start after the codes were deleted, waited a hour or so and the car fired up, took car home where it's been sitting ever since.
The code read (delivery fuel pressure monitoring). I think I can hear the fuel pump working under the passenger side seat but that's only if I'm laying under the car.
330d auto m
Many thanks

Lloyd Khaner
Ever since Benjamin Graham created the concept of "Mr. Market", investors have noticed that when the market gets worried, stocks tend to get cheaper. With that in mind, I've been keeping a running tally of all the issues, events and future concerns affecting market behavior at any given moment. Here's a look at what's happening this week in "Lloyd's Wall of Worry." Also, click here to see the interactive Wall of Worry on Minyanville.
CHINA: Kickin' it purely "my way or the highway." Especially treacherous on the rest of us as they are still building their highways.
THE PIIGS: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain. FYI: News of their demise has been greatly…delayed.
CALIFORNIA AND THE OTHER 49 STATES: Automakers – done. Banks – done. Next on line at the bailout window: Muni Bonds. "Please step up to the white line."
QE II: In the popularity ratings still more dear than a root canal but not by much.
U.S. ECONOMY: This aging heavyweight looks to be making a comeback but don't expect any championship belts.
UNEMPLOYMENT: The good news is we added 151,000 new jobs. The bad news is that's about 100,000 less than needed to keep us from sinking deeper into the jobless quicksand pit.
TAXES: Extend and Pretend-- it ain't just for loans anymore.
HEALTHCARE REFORM: "If I were a cheese what kind of cheese would I be? Umm…that would be Swiss." Give it a year or so.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PART II: "Heavy lies the crown."
XMAS 2010: Praying the Repo Man doesn't tow away Santa's sleigh until after he brings some good cheer. Stack of $20s for me, KK!
CURRENCIES: No longer a race to the bottom. More like a slow bumpy roll down into death valley.
HOUSING CRISIS: The reset button doesn't seem to be working here. Might I suggest bulldozers and bonfires?
INFLATION/DEFLATION: The Fed's inflation wish will come true. And then, like old luggage and my gut, it will be with us for a long time.
G20 MEETING: Granted I wasn't expecting any Gold Medals for the U.S., I wasn't expecting a disqualification smack down either.
TERRORISM: I knew there was a reason I always hated changing the toner cartridge.
COMMODITIES: Trying to wrestle them down with higher margin requirements. You mean some people actually pay for these things?
HFT: High Frequency Trading -- a festering boil on our stock market but nothing a penny transaction tax wouldn't clear up. Dr. SEC, we're waiting…?
What is the Wall of Worry?
Since the 1930's, when Benjamin Graham created the concept of Mr. Market, investors have been trying to figure out what's worrying the stock market at any given moment. Oddly, no one has ever kept a list of the concerns -- except for me. I've been managing money for the last 20 years and keeping a running tally of all the things that are bothering investors. It's an important part of my value investment discipline, because when Mr. Market gets nervous, stocks tend to get cheaper.
As Warren Buffett says: "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful."
The Wall of Worry will be updated regularly, so keep coming back.

He was born in 1932, the son of a doctor living in south India. His father eventually retired into the book trade, running a shop in the Dorset town of Shaftesbury which Christopher Driver continued to manage until its sale a couple of years ago. He was educated at the Dragon School, Oxford, at Rugby, where he was head boy, and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he read Greats. Classics, particularly Latin, were the ever-present bedrock (and occasional volcanic peak) of his complicated, but always logical, prose style. It now seems inevitable that one classical scholar, Raymond Postgate, should have ensured his succession at The Good Food Guide by another.
A conscientious objector, Driver undertook his National Service after Oxford in the Friends Ambulance Unit, an organisation that embraced both religious and intellectual nonconformity in a peculiarly British, albeit internationalist, style. A perfect niche, in fact, for Driver, who later acknowledged its role in his gastronomic education. Another pillar of British taste at that time, George Perry-Smith, of the Hole in the Wall restaurant in Bath (perhaps The Good Food Guide's favourite, if ever it could have been less than impartial), was also transmuted from Cambridge graduate to cook by the solvent of the FAU.
Driver joined the Liverpool Daily Post in 1958 to learn the craft of journalism, moving to the Manchester Guardian in 1960, where he remained, with intermissions, until his death. From 1964 to 1968 he was features editor, then, after his stint with The Good Food Guide, he returned to edit the first weekly page devoted to food and drink in any national newspaper, from 1984. Latterly, he shared responsibility for obituaries. Driver's cast of mind - clever, knowledgeable, sardonic and not a little dismissive of the sacred cows of the establishment - seemed perfectly attuned to that of the Guardian.
He had been informally involved in the bourgeois democracy of The Good Food Guide since it was sold in 1963 to the Consumers' Association by its founder Raymond Postgate, who continued as its editor. Begun by Postgate in response to some articles he had written in 1949 about the awfulness of British catering, it was harbinger of the whole process of British consumerism: the middle classes telling each other how to master the confidence tricksters of commerce and reporting their successes on thousands of little forms that were converted into a publishable annual.
Driver's appointment as successor to Postgate in 1970 was in fact unexpected, another having been groomed for the editor's chair, but he soon set about revitalising the guide, profiting from the acute guidance and information provided by its chief inspector, Aileen Hall.
The British catering trade has never liked criticism. In 1970, except for the GFG, there was none: merely slavish reports of freebies by impecunious journalists anxious to fill space, or very poor guides that took the trade at its own valuation. Even Postgate's guide tended to the gentle. Driver had none of it. Disregarding that aspect of restauration and hotel-keeping that has more to do with theatre and entertainment than good cooking, and is more concerned with profit and charges than value, he did away with scores of hitherto unblemished entries; excoriated many which remained with intelligent prose which exposed the soft belly of their cupidity and the vain pretensions of their customers; and included with gusto and near-apostolic zeal Indian, Chinese and other ethnic restaurants which had hitherto been thought beneath a linen-and-crystal gourmand's notice.
The effect was galvanic. In 1978, the fancy end of the business combined (for once) to launch letters to the Times, meetings with the Consumers' Association, and constant abuse from its lackeys in the trade press. With hindsight, Driver was right, and they were very wrong. Without his barbs, and they could be difficult to extract from a bleeding, bloated limb, the customer would have been less well served than he was.
He was less than happy with the populist turn that both the Consumers' Association and the guide were to adopt after his departure (which to the outsider seemed prompted by a certain decline in sales, mostly due to the Thatcher-Howe slump), but he was able to state his view of things with impressive clarity in The British at Table 1940- 1980 (1983), a history of our food habits that seems almost impossible to fault for its careful analysis and exquisite phrasing.
His love of food - and his enthusiasm at the sight of good food and wine was quite infectious - was balanced by a strong sense of faith: nonconformist, independent. This had to be one reason for his disliking the gratuitous display that seemed inextricable from haute cuisine. He was a board member of Christian Aid (1972-84). He wrote his first book in 1962, A Future for Free Churches; and revisited his non-violent past in The Disarmers (1964), about CND. In 1968 he took leave of absence to study universities in The Exploding University. Latterly, he wrote more about music (Music for Love, 1994) which impassioned him (two of his three daughters are professional musicians) and social history (Pepys at Table, with Michelle Berriedale- Johnson, 1984). His last book, published only the month before he died, was John Evelyn, Cook, which is his transcription of Evelyn the diarist's own recipe book, never before printed. He ended with a flurry of activity: a new volume of poems, Strokes, and an orchestration of Schubert.
Recent years had been dogged by a stroke that he suffered while walking in the Lake District in 1987, and the subsequent discovery of a brain tumour in 1993. This did not impair his faculties, though making his prose more convoluted than ever it had been. He continued to enjoy any signs of mordant wit, fine wine, friendship and food, while with the devoted care of his wife Margaret, who survives him, he managed concerts at Wigmore Hall until the last.
Christopher Prout Driver, writer and broadcaster: born 1 December 1932; Reporter, Guardian 1960-64, Features Editor 1964-68, Food and Drink Editor 1984-88, Personal Page Co-Editor 1988-94, consultant 1994-97; Editor, The Good Food Guide 1969-82; married 1958 Margaret Perfect (three daughters); died London 18 February 1997.

Federer marches on, youth movement stalls at US Open
By Steve Keating
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Roger Federer rolled into the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open for the 10th time in 11 years on Tuesday, while experience finally got the better of youth at the year's final grand slam.
Five-times champion Federer powered his way past Spain's Roberto Bautista 6-4 6-3 6-2, the 33-year-old raising his record on Arthur Ashe Stadium court to a dazzling 25-1.
Facing Federer for the first time, the 26-year-old Spaniard quickly found himself 5-1 down in the opening set to the 17-time grand slam winner, who then eased off the gas and coasted to an unflustered straight sets win in just under two hours.
On another sweltering day at the U.S. National Tennis Centre, three emerging talents and potential grand slam winners of the future were finally ushered to the Flushing Meadows exit.
Chinese doubles specialist Peng Shuai routed 17-year-old Belinda Bencic 6-2 6-1, Tomas Berdych thrashed 20-year-old Austrian Dominic Thiem 6-1 6-2 6-4, and Frenchman Gael Monfils schooled 23-year Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov 7-5 7-6(6) 7-5.
Monfils put aside his showman antics for a more workmanlike approach to his fourth round match and it resulted in victory over the player dubbed "Baby Fed" for his all-around game that resembles Swiss maestro Federer's.
Frenchman Monfils, seeded 20th, returns to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010 for a date with Federer.
"He's got easy top 10 potential," said Federer of Monfils, who has yet to drop a set. "He's a great mover. He's got a wonderful serve, really, which nobody really talks about because of his athletic movement which stands out so much. Continued...

A 200 point opening slide on Wall Street has dragged the FTSE 100 index under the 4,000 point level in mid-afternoon trading
Better than expected results from Bank of America have just been released, and have given the market a lift. The bank, the second largest in the US in terms of assets, said profits had fallen in the second quarter by 41%.

No. 21 Houston rolls to 59-10 win over UCF, remains unbeaten
It took Houston a while to get going Saturday, but once the Cougars got it together late in the first half, they quickly put away winless Central Florida.
Kenneth Farrow ran for career-high 167 yards and three touchdowns and No. 21 Houston remained undefeated with a 59-10 victory.
The Cougars (7-0, 4-0 AAC) ran up 600 yards and scored 24 points in a mid-game span of 3 1/2 minutes, winning for the fifth time by 21 points or more.
Brandon Wilson scored for the Cougars on an 85-yard return of a fumble just 74 seconds into the game. Wilson stripped Cam Stewart of the ball after a third straight UCF completion and ran down the sideline to an easy touchdown, Houston's only score in the first 27 minutes of the game.
UCF, which entered the game ranked last offensively among 127 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, gained 175 yards in the first quarter, 94 of them on a seven-play touchdown drive. When Matthew Wright kicked a 48-yard field to put the Golden Knights up 10-7 with 4:38 left in the first half, they had outgunned Houston by 216 yards to 74.
But Houston responded with a six-play, 72-yard drive to regain the lead on Farrow's 26-yard touchdown run with 2:27 left in the first half, and the rest of the game was all Cougars. They scored three touchdowns and a field goal over the next 3 1/2 minutes and put the game away with a 28-point third quarter.
Interceptions by William Jackson III and Donald Gage set up another touchdown and a field goal in the final 50 seconds of the half. Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. scored on a three-yard run to make it 21-10, and after Gage's interception, a 34-yard field goal by Ty Cummings gave Houston a 24-10 lead on the final play of the half.
Tristan Payton scored UCF's touchdown on a 46-yard pass from Justin Holman, but the Golden Knights (0-8, 0-4) had four turnovers and gained only 105 yards after the first quarter.
Farrow, who moved into seventh place on Houston's career rushing list with 2,686 yards, left the game after running 24 yards to his third touchdown of the game with 1:57 left in the third quarter.
Ward also sat out the fourth quarter after completing 16 of 23 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown and also rushing for 46 yards and a touchdown, his 15th rushing TD of the season. Ward's 67-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Ayers put Houston up 45-10 with 4:10 left in the third quarter.
It was only Houston's second win in seven games against UCF.

Plymouth automobile owners have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their Roadrunner around town. Car aficionados appreciate the good looks built into each Plymouth, and know that only the highest quality replacement Roadrunner parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days.
While the wheel dates back about 10,000 years, using it for transportation wasn't possible until a few more components were invented. Believe it or not, your Plymouth Roadrunner benefits from the inventions that date back about 5,000 years such as the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Because your Plymouth Roadrunner wheel hub needs to be bolted to a fixed position (wheel carrier) but rotate freely around the axle, a wheel bearing is usually pressed into the center. On some advanced wheel hub assemblies, your ABS ring and sensor may be included with it as well.
Ordering new Plymouth parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Roadrunner parts on the internet. Don't let a Wheel Hub & Bearing repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. When your Plymouth needs a new replacement Wheel Hub & Bearing, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, then you will find the correct Plymouth Roadrunner Wheel Hub & Bearing parts right here.

She's Burning! (Helena)
She stands shocked beyond movement. She looks without seeing at the flickering flames enveloping her best friend. The screams dull in her mind, as she goes in to silent shocked panic mode. Finally a shout get through.
"For F*cks sake, get a freaking ambulance!"
Immediately she whips out her mobile, and the teacher comes running. Suddenly, she's lost for words. The man at the other end starts repeating "Hello? Hello...?"
Then, in a crazy, unpredictable way, the lights go out. She's aware of the screams, and her legs giving out under her, but she sleeps quietly as her friend burns.

BeschreibungFor more than a century, Kennywood has been the Pittsburgh area's playground. Founded in 1898 at the terminus of the Monongahela Street Railway trolley line, the park quickly grew into a favorite summertime destination. Kennywood is unique in that it is one of the country's few successful trolley parks. In 1987, Kennywood was designated a National Historic Landmark and is known today as America's Finest Traditional Amusement Park. Many unique rides and attractions have distinguished Kennywood over the years. Some old favorites, such as the Rockets, Laff in the Dark, Ghost Ship, and Skooters, are long gone. Others, such as the Old Mill, Noah's Ark, Auto Race, Turtle, Whip, and Grand Carousel, still entertain guests today. Kennywood is perhaps best known for its impressive collection of roller coasters, from earlier coasters such as the Figure Eight, Speed-O-Plane, and Pippin to the Racer, Jack Rabbit, Thunderbolt, and Phantom's Revenge coasters that still thrill riders today.

The Bargemasters House was built in 1784 and retains much of its original character. The apartment is a typical Lewes property, cosy, compact and full of quirky detail. It is on the ground floor of the main house.
The front door leads into the charming sitting room complete with wood burner, comfy sofas. One of the sofas becomes a double bed. The kitchen is compact yet everything you need to self cater with a dining table for four.
The bedroom is next with a comfy double bed, plump pillows and cosy lighting. There is an ensuite shower room. Outside there is a small garden and sitting area. TV, Radio and lots of books make this a delightful and peaceful place to spend time, relax, sleep lots and then visit the town, there is always lots going on. Restaurants and good gastro pubs with real ale brewed in our town are on the doorstep, lots of antiques shops and little interesting shops to browse and we have amazing charity shops.
The railway station is seven minutes away and trains run into the centre of Brighton every ten minutes and into London every half hour. Public transport is excellent, buses run all along the South Coast and to delightful Georgian Tunbridge Wells.
We stayed in Belinda's appartment for 2 weeks, my husband and me, our twins almost 3 years old and our dog. The place is perfect size for a family, it has every single detail you can need for your stay. It is perfectly well located, just next to the center of the town but also to a great place to have lunch every day (The Snowdrop Inn). Belinda is the most helpful host I have ever met (and we travel a lot!). Lewes is very beautiful, parking in the apartment area is easy and there are amazing walks just around the apartment, as well as shops, activities for adults and children and parks. I would totally recommend to stay at Belinda's place to anyone, it is really one of the best apartments I have ever rented!
This small apartment is clean, well presented and in an excellent location. The hosts were flexible and lovely, they also provide clear instructions. This was a perfect stay for my folks, who stayed over during the Christmas holiday, everything was easy, comfortable and simply lovely.
The place is very nice, clean and close to a good pub !
I recommend it for a couple and 2 childrens.
Thank you Belinda.

Youngsters on the rise and aging vets
Youngsters on the rise
Perhaps the most fundamental challenge of fantasy baseball
is to find players that will play better than last year. These are the young
hitters who are the best bets to improve.
1. Adam Dunn, LF, Reds
He hit 51 homers between Double-A, Triple-A and the majors
last year, and could approach that total for the Reds this year. If he has an
off year, he'll hit 35 he's that good.
2. Toby Hall, C, Devil Rays
Remember Brian Harper? Picture him with 20-home run power
and a better throwing arm.
3. Felipe Lopez, SS, Blue Jays
At worst, he'll match the average, power and steals of
the man he's replacing, Alex Gonzalez. That'll be a nice starting point for
a 22-year-old, no?
4. Marcus Giles, 2B, Braves
He'll be one of the better offensive second basemen in
baseball this year, similar to Todd Walker.
5. Pat Burrell, LF, Phillies
Moving from first base to left field last year might have
temporarily stalled his development. The budding slugger turns 25 this year
and now is poised to take a big step up.
6. Adrian Beltre, 3B, Dodgers
Doctors say the chances of him suffering another botched
appendectomy are rather remote.
7. D'Angelo Jimenez, 2B, Padres
He'll move over to second base, play his first full season
in the big leagues, and perform well enough to allow some to argue that the
Yankees should have kept him and traded Alfonso Soriano instead.
8. Jose Uribe, SS, Rockies
He'll hit the way he did last year from start to finish.
9. Jay Gibbons, LF, Orioles
He'll play more often and benefit quite a bit from the
restoration of Camden Yards' old dimensions.
10. Luis Rivas, 2B, Twins
He was only 21 last year and has tremendous long-term potential.
Remember how far Cristian Guzman came in only two years since batting .226 and
slugging .276 as a 21-year-old rookie.
Slowing veterans
As we said above, the two keys to performance are talent
and opportunity. The following players are losing their share of one, the other,
or both.
1. Craig Biggio, 2B, Astros
He had a fine comeback season, especially in light of the
severe knee injury he was coming off of. That said, he clearly wasn't the same
player. Obviously, he's no longer a basestealer. The fact that his hitting also
dropped off is less obvious, due to Enron Field, which masked the decline (he
was playing hurt during Enron's first season, 2000). What enabled him to maintain
the illusion that he hadn't lost anything was the fact that he hit .316 and
slugged .515 at Enron last year, compared to .269 and .399 on the road
his worst road performance in years, 2000 excepted. He might still look like
he's prepubescent, but the man is 36 years old.
2. Craig Paquette, 3B, Tigers
In three years with the Cardinals, Paquette hit 28 of his
40 home runs at Busch Stadium. He won't find Comerica Park nearly so friendly.
3. Scott Spiezio, 1B, Angels
Spiezio's a fine utility man a switch-hitter who's
capable of playing first, second and third base but there's no reason
in the world why he ever should get 400 at-bats again. A first baseman who slugs
.438 simply can't be the team's best option. He might go into camp as the nominal
first baseman, but it will be all too easy for the club to cheaply bolster its
lineup by adding a more productive hitter. Even if they don't, Shawn Wooten
is a better hitter and eventually should eat into Spiezio's playing time.
4. Jay Bell, 2B, Diamondbacks
In the space of two months, Bell lost his batting stroke
and his job. Don't bet on the 36-year-old getting either one back.
5. John Flaherty, C, Devil Rays
Hopelessly stuck behind one of the best up-and-coming catchers
in baseball, Flaherty's butt will be meeting a whole lotta pine.
6. Jeff Cirillo, 3B, Mariners
Cirillo batted .266 on the road last year and is leaving
baseball's best hitters' park for one of its worst.
7. Jose Offerman, 2B, Boston
Nature abhors a vacuum, and eventually a better second
base option will present itself in Boston. Offerman will have to hold the second
base job all year just to match last year's numbers, but unless he's gotten
into better shape over the winter, that ain't gonna happen.
8. Ellis Burks, DH, Indians
Burks is 37, and it sure isn't a young 37.
9. Kevin Young, 1B, Pirates
To maintain any semblance of faith in mankind's rationality,
one must believe that Young will be allowed to hit .240 for only so long. Craig
Wilson nearly outhomered Young from the bench last year.
10. Randy Velarde, 2B, A's
He'll be a nice part-time second baseman and bench player,
but his days as a regular are over.

Magic Kingdom
We got a little later start to our morning then planned but still got to magic kingdom by 10. We turned the 10 minute drive to magic kingdom into a 45 minute tour... Best not to ask. Driving to the Magic Kingdom is a different experience. We had a long walk from the parking lot and thought hat taking the complimentary tram was for wusses. We were wrong! We were near fried before entering the gates. I got stung in the forehead by a ...

We came home and had our own mini church service. That's what they do on the island and we decided we should do it here since we missed out on the regular meeting. We had put in a roast and butternut squash to cook while we were gone to church. When it was finally done we added some ...

I think that i am in a good spot, I have never worried about medical exams or surveilance -I rarely leave my bed, let alone the house. My condition will not kill me before 65, but will take many comforts away. I also receive Social Security and just had my Cert. Disability Review and they stopped it in the middle of the review, due to my condition. A lump sum settlement would be nice, but I am not in any hurry to make a decision. And I need to speak with an Atty. I am on UNUMs Catostrophic Benefits and only report on my own annually, I no longer need any documentation from my doctor. Thanks for the good information.
By the way, I read your other question about the taxability - I generally don't want to stick my neck out and give an opinion about tax issues, but I will tell you this, settling a claim never changes something's taxable nature. If it was taxable before, it's taxable after. If it was not taxed before, it's not taxed after.

Hidden SecretsMature
Chapter One
I stepped out of the car, just as my father drove away from the curb. i looked at the school, its red brick shining underneath the sun, i had to squint to even look at the name. James Thatcher Secondary School, nice looking school, good curba appeal, but terrable name.
Just then i got nudged somthing big and hard but soft at the same time. i looked as the figure passed me, it was a boy, he looked around my age with dark brown hair and big brown eyes, he was probubly 6"4. i looked at him watching his eyes as they analyzed me, the analyzing stopped when he got to my chest, i saw his eyes, in them it looked like he had a near hunger in his eyes, that was wanting so deperitly to come out. Finnaly he looked at my face, and he looked into my eyes, i looked in his, all of a sudden there was no hunger only dicgreet passion.
I just let the incident roll off my shoulders as i walked throught the big glass doors, i stood there in the entry way, looking at my schedule. Ok first class room one hundred and eleven, my lucky number. When i got to my class (which by the way is on the second floor), there was a line, i went to the front to see what was the hold up, but there acctually wasn't any. i looked in the pale grey classroom, no one...humm....i looked at the door, on its glass pane there was a note. ' please line up infront of the classroom if your in grade 10-1, and DO NOT go into the classroom, without permission or, if i am there' i read it again, the teacher had very neat handrighting, very readable.
i slowly walked to the back of the line. i just ended up running into somthing, tall and muscular, i looked up to see the jerk from the front of the school, the one who looked at my "Rack" before looking at my eyes. I rolled my eyes and whished that i had been put in the other grade ten class.
The guy looked down at me, i looked up at him, with a sarcastic grin on my face.
"So your in this class?" the guy asked me. i rolled me eyes again, i had be doing that alot today.
"No Duh!" i said, hitting my head, (not hard though)
The guy chuckled and peeked down my top.
"Oh i do hope you stop looking down my top, because i can sue you for harrasment" i told him.
The guy gave me a look, "You really don't know who i am do you?" he asked me.
"No" i said with the hint of a laugh in my voice. "Your hitlers son or somthing?" i stated sarcasticlly.
all jokes went away from his face, "No acctually" he said leaning on a locker and falling.
I laughed,
he proped himself up again, "So i make you laugh?" this time it wasnt really a queastion, this was more like a statement.
i made all jokingness drown away form my face and made it serious, "No" i told him. then i went and followed the rest of my peers into our classroom.
What the heck, he was one of the most obnocktious people in the world!, and why did he make it his priorety to look down my top and then tottally get me off the subject!.
God help him if he has to sit next to me....
