Buy-to-let landlords should face new limits on the amount they can borrow, the Bank of England has proposed.
It suggested that lenders should be much stricter when deciding whether or not to grant landlords a mortgage.
Instead of just taking their rental income into account, the Bank wants lenders to look at their wider financial situation as well.
If adopted, the new rules could reduce lending to landlords by up to 20% over the next three years. — BBC

Rapidly rising property prices and rents, combined with the loss of social housing through right to buy, have put councils under growing pressure to find new ways to help people off their housing lists.
In Lewisham one solution is a £4.3m scheme to provide 24 homes and 880 sq m of business space that can be picked up and moved at a later date, allowing the council to make use of vacant brownfield land while longer-term projects are finalised. — theguardian.com

Parisian designer Stéphane Malka Architecture has suggested creating affordable housing in the French capital by adding prefabricated elements on top of and between existing buildings.
The "3box" system does not require the purchase of sites. Instead, the right to build is obtained in exchange for renovating existing buildings.

I'm a girl that loves to save money... whether it's cashing in those discounts, using online coupons, free shipping, etc = I think you catch my drift. Instead of my normal weekly Five on Friday post, I am doing things a bit different today and am showing you five complete looks under $100 each. Hope you enjoy this fun little fashion feature that shows you can wear the latest styles without breaking your budget!
First up, a floral bell sleeve dress... love the navy color palette and flattering silhouette and to make it a little more playful, I added these cognac t-strap clogs which look SO comfortable yet stylish. Finally, I pulled in a faux yellow saddle bag and you're good to go for Friday night date night.
Second in line... Are you looking for something you can wear for everyday errands, a casual work environment, or to participate in weekend fun?!?! This next ensemble starts with an essential v-neck striped tee, the latest and greatest in stretch moto olive leggings, and then I added in some leopard flats for mixed pattern love. $88 for the entire outfit = cheers to that my friends!
3rd time's the charm: Because we all need the lovely little black dress, I've headed over to my friend Jenny's store Gray Monroe to show you this cute little number I scooped up last week, the Willow Dress in Black. It's versatile WITH pockets, and a swing style we all need as we transition to fall and winter. Add in a fun color-block poncho in other neutral shades, then some oh so special peep toe booties and I've even got a $1 to spare.
If you're like me, you LIVE in activewear... now you MAY not necessarily be visiting the gym every single day, but you can at least look the part with this comfy, colorful, and about town ensemble. Plum colored mesh leggings [my favorite], coupled with a cozy top and slip-ons, and you'll be the talk of the town with all the other moms.
For the final look, let's think of a fun girl's night out or a dressy event where you want to make a statement.. you know my mind instantly goes to a jumpsuit because they are a bit edgy and nothing says party like a one-piece... add in some super fun wrap heels and a tapestry clutch and this ensemble is anything but boring!
Alright friends... how did we do?!?!?! Hoping you enjoyed this fun little fashion game as much as I had putting it all together! Enjoy your weekend... I'm finishing work, having dinner with some friends and the kiddos while our husbands have a boy's lake weekend, visiting the zoo and heading to Caroline's soccer games, and spending as much time outside as possible!

Recently, Gov. Sam Brownback and Kansas Board of Education member sent an opinion column, "New Teacher Policy Benefits Students." to state newspapers justifying their move to allow Kansas public schools to hire uncertified teachers for the six schools that applied for innovative school district status. The uncertified teachers would come from the ranks of "industry professionals."
I started teaching in 1965 in a Michigan country school. By then, I had enough credits to make me a college sophomore. I did not have enough credits to be certified as a teacher. Even so, the school, run by a few farm parents and uncertified by the state, hired me. I lasted one year. That's all it took for me to realize that that those students deserved a teacher who knew what she was doing.

I spoke to multiple Reading lawyers regarding this and they said the dismissed charges should be fairly easy to remove due to that fact of non conviction on said charges in each case of "withdrawn" or "dimissed". They each told me that still serving the parole for the cases have no relevence in the conviction of a charge in each case. They said thier office was actually never denied a petition for "dismissed" charges in a partial expungement. I am now more confused than ever. I felt i would be able to clear this up because the "dismissed" charges make me to appear like some "animal". Why is it unlikely for expungement of "dismissed" charges? They want to charge me $750 for both cases for this to happen. I asked on this site for guidence whether to pursue with this and now I feel their trying to take my money for nothing. Thank you Please help
Dear Asker,
I fully understand your concern. I stated that it is unlikely you will be "entitled" to an expungement of the dismissed charges, as is often the case with some expungements, such as those pursuant to an ARD dismissal. The District Attorney's Office will have the discretion to either grant or deny your expungement petition. If it is common in Reading to grant this type of partial expungement, then that is good news for you because a hearing will likely be unnecessary. If you have already retained counsel, then I advise you to follow their recommendation(s). I wish you the best of luck.

Do you have your ex's name tattooed by your privates?
my ex husband has my name tattooed right above his junk...have fun explaining that one buddy!
I have a tattoo of my hubby's name near my junk, but I got it when we were just dating so phew... Good thing it worked out!
I had a one night stand with a girl I worked with. A week later she had my name tattooed on the left butt cheek claiming ownership.
My friend had one above his junk but they broke up so he put one of those red circles with the line through it like the non smoking signs
My friend tattooed her ex's name down below. Let's just say her days of waxing are over
I tattooed my ex name cynthia next to my package also saying all you can eat. I since then removed her name and have my wife's name Alyssa. ;)
I convinced my girlfriend to get my name downstairs, even though I knew we wouldn't work out.
I tricked a high school ex to get my name right above his junk I ran into him after years He still has it and still single
I have my ex's name in kanji lettering on my butt cheek also have a tattoo of his lips on the mound of you know were
My friend has her ex husbands name in very large letters right at the panty line. It creates an awkward moment when she is with someone for the first time
I have a friend who hot his fiance name right above his junk while he was at basic for the military. Then weeks after he returned they broke up
Did and got a cover up! I've been asked a few tones why I would ever get a tattoo placed there. I just tell them I was young and dumb!

Indeed! There is no value added to this work. It is a great example of why our corporate tax system is a failure and needs to be reformed - even if it means massive job losses for tax accountants and lawyers.Originally Posted by "kuri":2dwdb6su
The report says that amount is the global total. Our share is probably equal to our share of the world economy - about 25% - so the tax to be gained by bringing these $$ under control might be 30% of 25% of $21T or $1.575 - which is enough to repay Obama's failed stimulus and some of the deficit.Originally Posted by "kuri":2dwdb6su
The school board didn't list reduced federal funding in the revenue shortfall. The actual number of teacher cuts reported in the local news is closer to 200. Most of those let go are the most recently hired teachers. There were fewer reductions in the non union staff, because they agreed to salary cuts and job modifications - options the union declined. The city also refused to increase revenue via the general fund to cover the $37 million shortfall. This is the 5th year in a row this school system has gone through a forced budget cut. Why doesn't the local community want to pay for schools? How is this Romney's fault?Originally Posted by "kuri":2dwdb6su

It's been just about a week since the bitcoin exchange Bitfinex was hacked, with a loss of 119, 756 BTC, or about $80 million in boring old, traditional currency. The hack remains a hot-button topic in the bitcoin world, with many calling for the need of increased oversight of bitcoin exchanges.
"Bitcoin remains the most secure form of value transfer ever created and this hack does nothing to change that," said the founder and CEO of Northwest Passage Ventures, Alex Tapscott, co-author of Blockchain Revolution. "However, once again, the failure of one company to secure the private keys of its users is casting a shadow, unfairly, over the bitcoin ecosystem. This hack demonstrates the urgent need for stronger governance of the ecosystem."
Cryptocurrency advocates didn't talk this way a few years ago. But a number of high-profile hacks have led to an increased awareness of the need for security and oversight.
At this point the hack's effects, at least in the short-term, have become slightly more clear. First, there's a plan, though people remain unsure about how it's going to work: Bitfinex is "socializing" its losses, with Bitfinex customers sharing 36% of the loss. The company plans to share how this was done at a later date. Customers have also reportedly received a BFX token equal to their personal loss, redeemable for eventual repayment by Bitfinex, or alternatively, for shares of parent company iFinex Inc.
Whether or not Bitfinex's plan for shared losses is a sound one is still very much up for debate among bitcoin advocates. Bitfinex's Zane Tackett is still fielding user inquires on reddit about the future security of bitcoin as a whole. How to gain that security without sacrificing the supposed anonymity of the cryptocurrency seems to be the question on everyone's lips. However, as readers of cryptocurrency blogger Izabella Kaminska know, this is a question with no easy answer.
Despite this being the first time a solution such as this is being implemented, industry experts seem confident Bitfinex's response won't have an adverse effect on bitcoin as a whole.
"The fact is that a certain volume of coins is out of circulation," said Bitstamp Head of Business Development Vasja Zupan, whose company has issued statements aiming to reassure its users regarding the safety of its own exchange. "However, we do not see that this incident, or the way it will be handled by involved parties, will have any longer lasting impact on the price of bitcoin."
Zupan agreed that the Bitfinex incident does show a need for oversight and "minimal common standards," which he maintained were needed for the future development of the industry. Bitstamp states that it is the first virtual currency exchange that has formal oversight in place, a factor it maintains provides the needed security to its users. However, despite the disagreements, bitcoin fans seem more invested than ever in the success of the virtual currency.
"This will do little to stop bitcoin and blockchain technology ultimately changing the world," said Tapscott. "Blockchain technology represents the second generation of the internet- an internet of value — that will have a profound impact on financial services, business, government and society."1 - Reader Likes This Post

Washington, Aug 30: The Obama Administration would reach its target of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees by October 1, National Security Adviser Susan Rice has said.
"On behalf of the President and his Administration, I extend the warmest of welcomes to each and every one of our Syrian arrivals, as well as the many other refugees resettled this year from all over the world," Rice said on Monday, CNN reported.
Rice acknowledged that there was much more work to be done in the region but called the move a "meaningful step that we hope to build upon".
"While refugee admissions are only a small part of our broader humanitarian efforts in Syria and the region, the President understood the important message this decision would send, not just to the Syrian people but to the broader international community," Rice said.
The US ambassador to Jordan, Alice Wells, on Sunday described the resettlement numbers as "a floor, not a ceiling".
America had previously pledged to bring at least 10,000 individuals from the war-torn country during the current fiscal year, which ends next month.
David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, used similar language Monday in welcoming the American milestone, adding that he hopes it is a prod to further action.
"IRC encourages the White House to consider this 10,000 milestone 'a floor and not a ceiling,'" he said. "The achievement of the 10,000 target proves what is possible, and there remains an urgent need to further strengthen US leadership in resettling refugee families -- with appropriate vetting -- fleeing violence and war."
He urged the Obama administration to up its acceptance rate to 1,40,000 refugees in 2017.
The influx of Syrian refugees, however, has been a major domestic political flashpoint over the past year. That could prove an obstacle to any significant increase in the program.
Critics of the resettlement effort -- including Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump -- have long expressed concern about the potential for ISIS or other terrorist groups to exploit refugee flows to reach the West, CNN reported.
Wells maintained that America's absorption of Syrians did not come at the cost of the country's rigorous screening processes.
"The United States government is deeply committed to safeguarding the American public, just as we are committed to providing refuge to some of the world's most vulnerable people," Wells said, adding, "we do not believe these goals are mutually exclusive."

"On Our Way Rejoicing"
... floods and devastation. A lot has happened while we've been away but we have been proud of the way our state has rebounded and are moving forward.
We're excited to be getting home tomorrow. We've been very fortunate through all our travels and have enjoyed sharing our adventures with our friends and family. We're glad I wrote the blog because it's already hard to remember some of the names of places we've been!
The adventure begins
A long day of travel but I made it! Knoxville through Chicago to Newark. I waited about an hour for Claudia to arrive but then we scouted about the airport and shared a pizza for dinner. The restaurant had bubble lights which made us think of Carolyn building her house! Plane boarding and departure were on time and we were flying across the Atlantic. I slept a little though I do not do well sleeping on planes. About 9 hours later we arrived ...
Las Vegas of Tennessee
... just watching traffic go by. WHAT? That is positively bizarre behaviour! And if that isn't enough punishment, Jude and I treat ourselves to some more! We spy a diner, stop and gather our courage, and head in to explore options. It is rather late by this time so it is a little late thus we both decide to go puddings. I figure I can walk it off afterwards. I was not exactly prepared to receive what came out of the kitchen! That being said, ...
Camino here I come!!!
... br> Before I send this I want to say THANK YOU. First to John Barbee (my trainer) for preparing me not only physically ahead of time...and giving me the confidence that I DO have the knowledge to listen to my body and work out the "kinks" when they happen...and I know they will happen...BUT also (probably without realizing it) he gave me the mental confidence that I CAN do this...So BIG HUGS to John for that. My other BIG THANK YOU is to ...
Aug 21-23rd - Maryville TN

We ended up stopping for the night at
Glasgow Walmart which is only half an hour to the Cave we want to
tour tomorrow. Not the best nights sleep, a 30 year old man was using
the nearly empty Walmart carpark as his personal race track. He had a
large radio controlled jeep that he was driving at like 70kms and it
made a charming roar as it raced around. Headed to sleep once that
stopped around 11pm. Ah, the joys of camping at Walmart!

What is a 'Sales Tax'
A sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services. A conventional sales tax is levied at the point of sale, collected by the retailer and passed on to the government. A business is liable for sales taxes in a given jurisdiction if it has a nexus there, which can be a brick-and-mortar location, an employee, an affiliate, or some other presence, depending on the laws in that jurisdiction.
BREAKING DOWN 'Sales Tax'
Conventional or retail sales taxes are only charged to the end user of a good or service. Because the majority of goods in modern economies pass through a number of stages of manufacturing, often handled by different entities, a significant amount of documentation is necessary to prove who is ultimately liable for sales tax. For example, say a sheep farmer sells wool to a company that manufactures yarn. To avoid paying the sales tax, the yarn maker must obtain a resale certificate from the government saying that it is not the end user. The yarn maker then sells its product on to a garment maker, which must also obtain a resale certificate. Finally, the garment maker sells fuzzy socks to a retail store, which will charge the customer sales tax along with the price of said socks.
Different jurisdictions charge different sales taxes, which often overlap, as when states, counties, and municipalities each levy their own sales taxes. Sales taxes are closely related to use taxes, which governments charge residents who have purchased items from outside their jurisdiction. These are generally set at the same rate as sales taxes but are difficult to enforce, meaning they are in practice only applied to large purchases of tangible goods. An example would be a Georgia resident who purchases a car in Florida; she would be required to pay the local sales tax, as though she had bought it at home.
Whether a business owes sales taxes to a particular government depends on the way that government defines nexus. A nexus is generally defined as a physical presence, but this "presence" is not limited to having an office or a warehouse; having an employee in a state can constitute a nexus, as can having an affiliate, such as a partner website that directs traffic to your business' page in exchange for a share of profits. This scenario is an example of the tensions between e-commerce and sales taxes. For example, New York and other states have passed "Amazon laws" requiring internet retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) to pay sales taxes despite their lack of physical presence in the state.
Excise Taxes
In general, sales taxes take a percentage of the price of goods sold. For example, a state might have a 4% sales tax, a county 2% and a city 1.5%, so that residents of that city pay 7.5% total. Often, however, certain items are exempt, such as food, or exempt below a certain threshold, such as clothing purchases of less than $200. At the same time, some products carry special taxes, known as excise taxes. "Sin taxes" are a form of excise tax, such as the local excise tax $1.50 New York State charges per pack of 20 cigarettes on top of the State excise tax of $4.35 per pack of 20 cigarettes.
Value-Added Tax
The U.S. is one of the few developed countries where conventional sales taxes are still used (note that, with limited exceptions, it is not the federal government that charges sales taxes, but the states). In most of the developed world, value-added tax (VAT) schemes have been adopted. These charge a percentage of the value added at every level of production of a good. In the fuzzy sock example above, the yarn maker would pay a percentage of the difference between what they charge for yarn and what they pay for wool; similarly, the garment maker would pay the same percentage on the difference between what they charge for socks and what they pay for yarn. Put differently; this is a tax on company's gross margins, rather than just the end user.

The Government Needs to Get Serious About GMOs
As you may already know, I've been on a mission to meet Canada's Health Minister, Rona Ambrose in person to discuss the important and urgent issue of GMO labeling. To date, I've sent her three letters via courier, and received absolutely no response. Below is the third letter that I sent her:
August 25, 2014
The Honourable Rona Ambrose
House of Commons Ottawa
Ontario, Canada K1A 0A6
Re: Food Safety
Dear Minister Ambrose;
My Name is Rachel Parent. I'm 15 years old, and the founder of Kids Right to Know. My organisation was created to raise awareness about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), and the risks they pose to our Health and the Environment.
To date, there are NO peer-reviewed scientific papers that establish the safety of GMO crops.
There are, however, both clinical and peer-reviewed scientific papers that show the risks of GMO crops.
As I'm sure you are aware, the Government of Canada does NO independent studies on the long-term effects of GMO crops, and makes its Safety Assessment based only on the studies provided by the Biotech Companies that stand to benefit by their approval. I'm concerned that these crops are increasingly making their way into our Food Supply without proper or adequate testing, and without considering their long-term effects.
Since their introduction in the early 90's, GMOs have been hidden from the public. They've slowly crept into our Food Supply, and are now in 75% of our processed foods. Unfortunately, no one is aware of it because manufacturers are not required to label them.
As a young person, I hope that you, as the Minister of Health, will consider our future. I hope that you will act responsibly when making decisions about the foods we eat. I also hope that you believe in Full Transparency, and Freedom of Choice.
If, as many scientific studies indicate, GMOs are impacting our health, our government needs to conduct its own long-term studies to determine if they are safe. Until proven safe, the introduction of new GMO crops should be halted, and mandatory GMO labeling should be instituted.
This is my third request for a meeting with you, to discuss this urgent issue. We can no longer afford to ignore the potential health risks caused by GMOs, and the increased burden they can place on our health care system.
I look forward to your response, and to meeting with you soon. The youth are counting on you, as our future is in your hands!
Rachel Parent, Founder
Not only are my letters being ignored, so is the input Ms. Ambrose received from Canadian citizens.
In early January 2014, our Minister of Health asked Canadians for their input in developing new labels that would provide consumers with the information they wanted. As a result, the Health Canada Report by Rona Ambrose, published in June 2014, consumers specifically suggested "Labeling genetically engineered or genetically modified ingredients in food products."
Unfortunately, in the latest Report from Health Canada dated July 2014, absolutely nothing was mentioned about labeling GMOs.
Due to the lack of any response from Ms. Ambrose and Health Canada's having completely ignored citizen input about GMOs, we citizens need to take it to the next level. Please join me in raising our voices to demand Rona Ambrose meet with me to discuss this critical topic!

Caledonia burglar takes cash but not electronics
From our partners at WOOD-TV
CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Neighbors are keeping an eye out for anything unusual after a series of robberies south of Grand Rapids this week.
There were 10 burglaries in Caledonia Township on Wednesday alone, the Kent County Sheriff's Department says. The thief or thieves hit homes in the area of 68th, 76th and 84th streets and Whitneyville Avenue.
The burglar has been breaking into houses during the day when people are at work, prying open doors or squeezing through unlocked windows. He leaves behind expensive electronics and concentrates on finding cash.
One man on 68th Street said he may have seen the burglar. Greg Stevens said a suspicious man knocked on his door and may have been surprised when he answered it.
The stranger told Stevens he was looking for a man named Josh about a roofing job, but the address he said "Josh" gave him wasn't the house he knocked at. Then, Stevens said, the stranger asked about his neighbor's house.
"I thinking something doesn't add up," Stevens said.

text: This episode was dumb, but I give it credit for having sad yet happy flashbacks.When they showed a montage of clips from the show with a musical number: "Memories". I love this series! I used to watch it on Fox(now ABC)Family every morning. The whole fact of no more playhouse is very, very sad! If the show lasted for one more season, it would really shine. At the end, Pee-Wee says that he is selling LEMONADE. Then Pee-Wee goes on his scooter one last time. It was so sad to see the end of a great series. At least the show lives on in reruns & on DVD's.

Amana (Bible)
This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Easton, Matthew George (1897). "article name needed". Easton's Bible Dictionary (New and revised ed.). T. Nelson and Sons.
Amana - perennial. The Hebrew margin of 2 Kings 5:12 suggests another reading of Abana, a stream near Damascus.
Amana is also the name of a mountain (Song of Solomon 4:8), probably Amanus, or the southern summit of Anti-Libanus, at the base of which are the sources of the Abana.
Most English translations of the Song of Solomon, beginning with the King James Version, adhere to the transliteration of Amana in verse 4:8. Solomon's bride (the Shulamite) is implored by the Beloved (Solomon) to descend with him from the "peak of Amana", as well as Mount Senir and Hermon. The descent is safely through the dens of lions and the presence of leopards. Strong's Concordance lists Amana as number 0594 in the Hebrew Lexicon, with no other instances of Amana in the Old or New Testament.
The "mountains of Sanir and Amana" are also delineated in Jubilees as within the inheritance of Shem (8:21), or more specifically, Arpachshad (9:4).
Christological interpretations[edit]
Christological interpretations of the Song of Solomon are myriad among both Protestant and Catholic theologians with Saint Bernard of Clairveaux interpreting the entire book in these terms. Christological inferences in the context of chapter four of the Song of Solomon suggest a kenotic significance to Amana[citation needed]. The husband (Christ) declares His love for His bride (the Church) throughout chapter four. He (Christ) sees no imperfection in His bride. This is only possible through the descent from heaven through the incarnation and the propitionary death on Calvary, establishing a typology with the Gospels. Amana and the other mountains are allegorical to heaven. The bride's presence at the summit is possible through the acceptance of Christ resulting in as Paul later expressed it in Ephesians 2:6 being simultaneously "seated in the heavenlies" (figuratively) while walking in the world prior to glorification. The descent from Amana is through the dens of lions which are allegorical to the present dangers of the world and suggesting a typology with Christ's Passion. The descent from Amana safely through the world (and by implication back to heaven [Amana]) is hand in hand with Christ.
Charles Spurgeon refers to Amana in his famous Morning and Evening devotional for September 18: "To the top of Amana, to the dens of lions, or to the hills of leopards, we will follow our Beloved."

Chapter 1: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust : Part 8Mature
Tim turned around and looked out from beneath the overhang. The air was filled with a yellow mist, if they hadn't had their gas masks on they would have all perished. "We need to move. If they dropped that shit, there's probably something to follow through with."
"At least the settlement will be clear." Mathew mentioned morbidly.
"Yeah..." Alain agreed, "But how are we going to move with him like this?"
"You and Tim can go check out the campsite, I'll stay here with Mack, come back with whatever you can salvage and in the meantime I'll set up a shelter, we're going to have to stay here for a while.
"I agree." Alain said, standing up and looking at Tim as he emptied his back pack to make room for the supplies they'd hopefully find.
"Alright." Tim did the same before turning and walked out from beneath the overhang, brandishing his weapon.
"We'll be back as soon as we can."
Mathew nodded and then returned to Mackenzie, who was laying still now.

Rating: T, for cursing
Fandom / Pairing: The Office, Jim/Pam, Jim/OC
Disclaimer: My middle name is Danger.
Summary: You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far.
Notes: Take the only hit from "Flock of Seagulls," finding out John's a lit major, and a few weeks of Hamlet and Dante's Inferno and what do you get?
Notes II: Part of my "Writ in Water" series - a series of fics based on love letters by John Keats.
There's a mantra in his head.
It's really just a litany of swear words, though "shit," "fuck," and, "what the hell am I thinking?" seem to be rather prominent among them. It's pounding against his temples, a cacophony he can't seem to mute, like atonal music (unmusic) and banging pots and pans.
He's headed for Scranton.
He was a history major. Sometimes he wonders if the only reason he chose to take history is because he took the phrase, "Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it," a little too much to heart. It comes in handy; reruns of Jeopardy and motivating Dwight are certainly easier when you can quote some of the greatest leaders in history and actually pronounce Charlemagne.
He flips to the History Channel sometimes (not without a little irony) as a refresher course. Old black-and-white film reels of dogfights and color soundbites of the first atomic detonation remind him of blonde curtains of hair and flip-flops in November, of long expanses of alabaster skin (the real deal, not just untanned) and smiles made of big.
Her name was Shannon.
He stands on a cold, gray beach rimmed with black water and breathes. The air tastes like shattered dreams, and it leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.
He thinks about storms and power, of bolting arcs of lightning and rolling clouds of rumbling ominously. The water rolls and ebbs, like light against obsidian, and even the white crests are darkened by the inky murkiness. He's halfway tempted to jump into the void from a platform he can just make out in the distance. Except it's mid-June and Australia, so the water's probably freezing, and he doesn't feel like getting pneumonia.
He thinks of Gallipoli and old Mel Gibson movies on TV and running and running and running.
Her name is Madison, but she tells him to call her Maddie. Her accent makes him smile, and his makes her laugh. She's from Melbourne, she tells him over fish and chips under an awning as the rain pours down in sheets.
"I came up here on holiday from uni," she says around a french fry (chip). "I wanted to visit my boyfriend."
"What happened?" And he curses his luck - every goddamned time.
She laughs humorlessly, a french fry chip held delicately. "He was sleeping with his ex."
"Tell me about it." She chews thoughtfully. "But you know what?"
"I was going to dump him anyway." She smirks and he can't help but grin back in response.
"Well," he says, and he moves to throw away the basket.
He decides he loves rain as he kisses her in it, on an empty street under a lamppost outside the restaurant her asked her to dinner to. She tastes like soft wine and escape, and he drinks her in until his head is spinning and her hand is drifting lower than is probably appropriate in public.
"Let's get out of the rain, yeah?" Her eye lashes stick together, but her mascara doesn't even run, and there's something in the lines of her face and say she's doing this for all the reasons he is, and he can understand wanting to run. He nods and helps her into his car (she took a cab) and she tells him how to get to her hotel.
Her hand is on his leg the entire time.
They stumble into her little hotel room, wet and chilled, and she pins him against the back of door. He pushes off her heavy coat and she tugs a little on his belt and they both kick off shoes and socks and broken hearts. He presses against the base of her neck with his hand, and she curves into him, the material of her dress heavy with water.
"I'm not wearing anything under this," she purrs into his ear and he leaves an openmouthed kiss against her pulse point even as she tugs his sweater over his head. He's nipping at her earlobe when she pushes his shirt off and she's kissing the underside of his jaw when he unzips her dress.
She keeps her promise.
She drags him to the beach the next morning, so early the sun is just starting to creep over the horizon and the water glimmers like volcanic glass, and it's breathtaking.
"Wow," he breathes, and he can't tear his eyes away even as the cold air whips past his face.
Soft fingers brush back the edges of his hair, up and away from his eyes. "You look so different." He swallows and nods and takes her hand.
"Let's go for a swim." She smiles widely, and he watches the colors bend across the planes of her face. She interlaces her fingers with his and they run into the dark water, whooping and shouting like madmen. She's just wearing a large t-shirt, he's just in a t-shirt and boxers, and as their teeth chatter they laugh at the absurdity of it all.
"He left me for Emily," she says, floating on her back, the white cotton billowing out around her as she bobs against the waves.
"She decided to marry Roy," he returns, treating water. There's a long pause and the sound of the lapping water is enough to drown them.
"Lord, what fools we mortals be," she murmurs. Arching her back gracefully, she slips under the surface, long, powerful kicks propelling her. He treads carefully and searches the waves for a sign of her until she comes up for air in front of him and kisses him. His hands seek out her curves, and she's just a little too hard, a little too sharp, a little too right. She tastes like salt and a little like guilt and he can't help but wonder if perhaps they're a little too alike for this.
They're curled up in the little fortwo he rented for the joy of it, running the heater full blast and wrapped in fluffy towels borrowed from the hotel pool.
"I leave in two days," she says quietly, fingers stretched out against the vent.
"I know. I leave the day after."
"Is this..." She gestures between them, at their state of dress and what they have between them and everything and nothing.
"Yeah," he replies. "You wanna head back to the room? I'm pretty sure if I don't check in soon they're gonna call the cops."
She grins, but the edges look hard. "Sure. Do lunch?"
"Sounds like a plan." And he turns the key in the ignition.
The last night she's in Sydney, she knocks on his door.
"I thought I was picking you up?" She's a striking figure, black boots and red sweater, blue jeans and her hair tied up.
"You were, but I couldn't sit still." She leans up to kiss him and the door swings shut behind her.
They don't leave his hotel room. And when he wakes up in the morning, she's gone and it feels like heartbreak without the "heart-" part.
His last day he spends on the beach, watching a gray ocean, and trying desperately to not think of her.
He curses fate and sighs aloud, long and heavy.
He can't escape her, not half a world away, not anywhere so long as he's trapped inside his head.
He shakes his head and turns away from the dark water and wanders the streets until what feeble light there is fades in the twilight.
He drives from Scranton to Stamford, four years of his life quietly packed away into six boxes loaded up into his little red car.
It's early - he wanted to avoid rush hour - and all he can see is dull gray asphalt and low, dense clouds that hang over his head.
He turns on NPR and tries not to think about summer weddings and quiet honeymoons, about grilled cheese sandwiches and fireworks, about voicemails and time lost and gained, about purple at all.
He pulls up to his new house - his roommate sits on the front steps - and sighs heavily. He clambers out, stretching long limbs and rolling stiff joints, and greets Kevin, a redhead with green eyes and square glasses and freckles across the bridge of his nose. They shake hands and Kevin shows him around the house, chatting quietly in a low tenor.
There are violets in the flowerbeds.
His sister calls his second day in town (it's a Saturday).
"Liz?" His is all astonishment even as he hears her laughter on the other end.
"Jimmy?" She's teasing him, and the smiles on his face shows in the warmth of his voice.
"It's really good to hear from you."
"Yeah," she says, and he can see her twirling the cord between long fingers. "Mom says you went down under? Jim, you don't even change your curtains if you can avoid it - Australia? Really?"
"Really," he laughs. "It was amazing."
"I'll bet. Did you get to go diving?"
"No," he says, and he's surprised when he realizes he laments it. "It was stormy and I wasn't really ready for it."
"That's fair," she replies, and her voice is distant, almost thoughtful. "Why'd you go?"
"Just..." It's the million-dollar question, he thinks dryly. "I needed a change."
"Hell of a change."
"No kidding."
"No, seriously - new job, new town, new life. New Jim," and the last part is softer, hesitant, and he sucks in a breath to steel himself. "Jim, what's going on?"
"It's nothing," but it's too quick and Elizabeth Halpert is nobody's fool - he made sure of that.
"Bull," she whip-cracks across the line before softening into the pitying tone he hates so much, except he knows she's sincere. "It's me. C'mon."
He bites his tongue and stares out the window and blinks very hard a few times and breathes. "Liz," he says at last, and his voice is a little rough and a little thick. "Just...not now, okay?"
He hears her sigh five hundred miles away. "Okay." She pauses. "But remember - you can't run away forever."
He smiles. "I know." He licks his lips and clears his throat. "So, you have to tell me what's going down on Project Runway."
She laughs and he feels warm.
Andy pisses him off.
He had figured that after Dwight he could handle anything. Apparently, he had been wrong, and the trump was a Cornell-educated asshat with the emotional maturity of a two-year-old.
Oh my God, he thinks. No wonder I hate Andy - he's every negative office quirk I've seen. It makes him laugh, but he saves it until lunch, when he goes for a walk after being dubbed Big Tuna. It just makes him hate Andy more, and he makes sure to stop by a grocery store to grab a box of Jell-O.
And gets a bunch of nickels - you never know.
The local bar - Kevin drags him along his second week there - is just as sad and sorry as any pub he's been in before. Which is why, when the pretty girls show up, he gets why Kevin hangs out here despite the general seediness.
The first girl to come up to him - he's really just content to leave be until he's settled - tells him her name is Chastity, and that she's nothing like her name. The effect is ruined when her sultry look cracks and she breaks into laughter.
"You're not really good at that, are you?" He takes a swig of the bottle for strength and stands. And stands. And stands - she has to crane her neck up to look at him.
"Nope," she grins. "I'm actually Chandra, and my friends dared me to do that."
"Not afraid of dares - I like that. Name's Jim." They shake hands and end up getting a little bit drunk together and kissing a little (a lot) in a booth in the corner.
She tastes like strawberries and chocolate and mint and he halfway wishes she tasted more like--
"Lizzie, it's me."
"Oh, hey big bro. How's life?"
"Pretty good. I hate my coworkers, the girl I work with hates me, my boss thinks I'm a kiss-ass, and the guy in front of me calls me a fish, but otherwise not too shabby. You?"
"The same, more or less. My professors think I'm untalented, all my prisma-colors broke, I can't design worth a damn lately, and all I want to do is get drunk and get laid."
He pauses. "Okay, that last one? Never wanna hear that again."
She bursts out laughing. "Shut up. You're so not allowed to talk - don't think I didn't hear about your collegiate escapades."
"Hey, my drunken lays were all girlfriends."
"Yeah, sure." He can hear the arched eyebrow.
"Okay, maybe not all of them."
"Uh-huh. That's what I thought. Twit. So, why'd you call?"
"No reason." Today's Pam's a birthday for someone.
"Right. Because you can just call New York anytime you want."
"Actually, I can - promotion, remember?" He pauses and licks his lips. "Hey, um, you wanna spend a weekend together sometime? I'm only forty-five minutes away now, instead of, like, four hours."
"Sounds good. You free next week?"
"No, but I will be."
"Hot date?"
"Hot office party. I'll just cancel - I hate them all anyway."
"I'm thinking it's not a good sign when you can declare your hatred so flippantly."
"Nope, can't say that it is."
"Oh, hold on." He hears muffled voices and a little screaming. "Hey, Jimmy?"
"You gotta go?"
"You know me so well," and her smile - wide and sweet and very much like his - travels across the line. "I'll see you next week."
"I love you," he says, and he means it.
"Love you too, bro. Bye."
It's her hot mouth under his and all he can think is breathe, breathe, breathe.
(There's a mention of something else, but dammit, he's trying to escape all of that and if uprooting himself isn't enough then there isn't anything else he can possibly do except this.)
Her dark skin and dark eyes make him feel pale and light, but it's a dark theatre anyway, and with her hand on his leg like that it doesn't really matter, does it? Her hand drifts higher - he can feel the cold of her fingers through denim, and it makes him shiver twofold - and he bites down on her bottom lip.
"Ow!" she cries softly, and her hand pulls away to touch her bottom lip gingerly, and he knows he looks deflated and that his hair is everywhere from her hands. He brushes it back and to the side and sighs.
"You okay?" He cracks an embarrassed smile and rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry about that."
She smiles back a bit and cuddles against his shoulder. "It happens." She's quiet for a second. "Guess I can't call you Big Tuna anymore."
"Why not?"
She grins. "Fish don't have teeth."
He calls her accidentally and his heart hits his throat, and her, "Oh my God," is a little too pitch-perfect for him to be able to swallow. He stumbles out his reason for calling and it's hard and awkward and then...
It's not.
It's like the last four months have just been him on vacation, even as he knows she didn't marry Roy and is taking art classes. (Oh, Phyllis.)
He's teasing her and even as he does it hurts a little, because two hundred miles and two and a half hours feel even further when you're running as fast and hard as you can.
She says goodbye and he hangs up and goes home from an office long since empty. Kevin - who probably has a few too many sisters given the sheer number of photos around his end of the house - just takes one look at him and offers him a beer. It makes him think of Mark, which makes him think of Scranton, which makes him think of her, and then he wanders in circles of thought until he swears under his breath and goes to numb his mind with alcohol and bad television.
(Or, at least, The Daily Show. And when Jon wears a lavender tie, he takes a long draw from the amber bottle.)
He stands in front of the Scranton office building, his little red car somewhere behind him, blazer sitting on his shoulders heavily, and his bag pulling against his shoulder like dead weight.
He's back.
Fuck, he thinks, and sighs heavily. He feels like a hamster in a cage, running nonstop on the wheel until he's just back where he started. It feels so static here, and he's made so many changes so quickly that the whirlwind of adjustment feels like it just got shut off while he was a hundred and ten feet in the air, and he feels disoriented and dizzy.
He takes the stairs to the third floor slowly to buy himself some time, and each step makes him think of hard decisions. Committing U.S. troops to Korea, dropping the atomic bomb, to tack on ninety-five theses to the church door. Pulling G.I.s out of 'Nam, Lee choosing the South over the North, sitting on the beaches of India and making salt in defiance of the Crown. Standing against redcoats in Boston as they shot into the crowd, going back into the slave-ridden South to save others, death or impressment.
To cross the Rubicon. To kill Caesar. To betray Jesus. To listen to the voice of God.
It whirls in his mind, and his heart beats faster until he can barely hear over his pulse and the rush of blood and there's the door and the it sticks a little remember? and--
He turns a little and she's there at her desk, wearing a blouse the color of wine and the widest smile he's ever seen. He smiles back and makes his way over to her. When she hugs him, he knows he's just as doomed as he was when he left.
He can't run fast enough.
My dearest Girl, how could it ever have been my wish to forget you? how could I have said such a thing? The utmost stretch my mind has been capable of was to endeavour to forget you for your own sake...I would have borne it as I would bear death if fate was in that humour: but I should as soon think of choosing to die as to part from you. - John Keats to Fanny Brawne, February 1820.
This was written about five seconds before The Merger so blame that for how dated this is. This is part of the same series as "Somos," in which I use excerpts from John Keats' letters to Fanny Brawne as basis for fics. It's a lot of fun, but it's also an incredible challenge. Even though this is only the second from this series, it's one I'm quietly working on and through. This is definitely one of my favorite things I've ever written.

Millionaire in 365 Days: Buy the Business You Work for Now

Februar 2007
BeschreibungBecoming a millionaire in 365 days (if you are very busy doing whatever you are doing, then give yourself another week or two), is exactly what it says, a step by step guide to becoming at least a millionaire, or multi-millionaire, emphasis added, during a one year period !!!!! The details in this book do not, and will not, describe any real estate flipping program, buying foreclosed properties, making money on the internet by selling the junk out of your garage, mail order sales, making stuff at home and selling it for big money, multi-level selling programs where you sign up thousands of people to sell cleaners and detergents or my personal (just kidding ) favorite, ads claiming that by stuffing 500 envelopes a day, you can make big money working from your kitchen table. I can help describe for you the real estate get rich quick schemes, and they can work are simply this; buy a house cheap, the worst shape in the best neighborhood possible, then spend as little money as possible fixing it up, and then sell it for as much as you can, hopefully for a profit. You can also do that in your spare time if you wish. That program, making $10,000 here and there after months of work is not going to make you a millionaire fast.

|RE: deletePersistent() with a detached object
|Mon, 06 Feb 2006 16:54:46 GMT
I would say that yes, this is correct, but what happens if the corresponding persistent instance implements DeleteCallback? I think that the spec should require the implementation to load the persistent instance and call its jdoPreDelete() method, and call any lifecycle listener methods that may be registered to listen for the deletion of objects of the deleted object's class. --matthew >-----Original Message----- >From: Andy Jefferson [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] >Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 8:32 AM >To: firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com >Subject: deletePersistent() with a detached object > > >What is the expected behaviour when calling deletePersistent() >with a detached >object ? >Spec section 12.6.7 doesn't explicitly mention it. > >Since makePersistent() will now take detached objects and >persist them, I would >probably expect deletePersistent() to perform the deletion of >the underlying >persistent object (if it is persistent in this datastore).

|SERIOUS problems with 2.1.10 and rhino js-1.6R5
|Fri, 25 May 2007 11:33:58 GMT
Porting our app from 2.1.8 to 2.1.10 resulted into SERIOUS problems. A week of investigation told us that the loading behaviour of javascript files, (we use cocoon.load a lot) is has an unpredictable performance. Sometimes good and sometimes VERY bad In an earlier thread http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=117317352713555&w=2 Berry van Halderen had a workaround for this by using a 1.6.R6pre build of rhino. We tried the same workaround but our scripts run into exceptions in various places. It seems like methods in inner classes are not accessible anymore. Did we do something wrong when building rhino. We use JDK 1.5.0_09 and changed the target in the rhino properties file to 1.5. Any ideas? -- Danny Bols
