#GrandeWednesdays - Caramel Frappuccino, grande, for only ₱100.
First time to try Chicken Pot Pie (₱97) and it was delicious. Reminded me of shepherds pie because of the mashed potato. Will definitely order this again.
Pumatok ang promo. Humaba pila eh hehehe.

Starbucks' Pop'zel Coffee Frappuccino (one of the limited edition flavors at present) reminds me of Costa Coffee's Popcorn Latte Frostino. Deep salted caramel flavor that's just right! Be sure to eat the popcorn and pretzel (sorry di kita sa pic eh) immediately first though or else they'll turn mushy!

The real reason we drove to this branch was to complete my stickers and claim the planner. I got a hot chocolate which I realized was nothing special.
This branch has a modern laid back feel just like the other outlets. Air conditioning was on full blast and it was really cold despite the place being packed.
Servers and even the guard was very friendly.

Still Peppermint Mocha (hot) all the way.
Yung Triple Chocolate Truffle Cookie (if I remember the name right) sobrang tamis, although I liked the soft and gooey texture, and the way the chocolate oozed from the cookie.

Nakiki-charge lang sa Starbucks haha. Tried the Frappula Frappuccino as I found out that it's available only for the Halloween season. OK naman, just a faint hint of strawberry but the mocha flavor dominated. Sweetness was just right. I liked the "spooky" color! Happy Halloween peeps!

10th review. Haha.
Trying the Matcha with Espresso Fusion just this morning (taking a break from my work-at-home duties). This time it was hot. It tasted only a hint of espresso but overall it ended up as being just almost a matcha latte. Nevertheless, I came to prefer this one over the iced drink that I last had (which was full of ice). Loving the vibrant green-ness of the foam. #teavana

My 9th review at SM Center Angono branch lol. Starbucks has unveiled the Teavana Handcrafted Beverage edition. I ordered the Matcha and Espresso Fusion (iced, Venti,₱185) which combines my two loves, coffee and matcha/green tea.
I loved the combination although it was ruined by too much ice, eventually watering down the inherent strength of the matcha and the espresso. I liked the Pain au Chocolat (₱85), first time to order it.
I will try to order the other two Teavana offerings (and try to resist ending up ordering coffee again)

The Mocha Ribbon Chip Frappuccino is just like my favorite flavor, Dark Mocha. Ang kulit lang ng straw... It is not like Stik-O. Even though the cookie straw is soaked for quite long into the drink, it doesn't turn mushy at all... And I have something to munch on too.

1. Sure, it's Starbucks. Anyway, I've got something more to add. The staff is quite friendly and proactive, my orders arrive on time. Nice place too. I only wish there's a WiFi just like any other Starbucks branches. But I guess they are working on that.
2. Understandably, their beverages are not that affordable (to my standards, anyway) but their pastries are. I like the doughnuts and the sausage rolls the most. I also like the Peppermint Mocha most especially when it's hot. But I know it's only for the holiday season. Delightful surprises by way of free samples of their limited edition drinks and some of their baked goodies.
3. If you're a somewhat a fixture of Starbucks, get yourself a card.

Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Plot Summary
Underworld: Evolution continues the saga of war between the vampires and the Lycans. The film goes back to the beginnings of the ancient feud between the two tribes as Selene, the beautiful vampire heroine, and Michael, the lycan hybrid, try to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines. This will be a modern tale of action, intrigue and forbidden love, which takes them into the battle to end all wars as the immortals must finally face their retribution.- Written by Shewolfinlondon
As the war between the vampires and the Lycans rages on, Selene (Beckinsale), a former member of the Death Dealers (an elite vampire special forces unit that hunts werewolves), and Michael (Speedman), the werewolf hybrid, work together in an effort to unlock the secrets of their respective bloodlines.- Written by Anonymous
Beginning where Underworld finished, Selene and Michael are on the run from the vampires. Being the cause of Viktor's death, Selene can only hope to plea to the last remaining elder, Marcus. However, Marcus has already awakened and has become a more powerful creature than before. Now his only remaining goal is to awaken his Lycan brother, William from his eternal imprisonment. With time running out, Selene and Michael must piece together the final clues to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines and stop Marcus before it's too late.- Written by harpster_2004
Selene wishes to expose the truth about the death of Viktor to the first true vampire Marcus that is hibernating. However, Marcus has already awakened and wants to release his savage Lycan brother William, who has been imprisoned for centuries. When Marcus tries to get the medal possessed by Lucian from Michael, Selene decides to visit Andreas Tanis, the exiled official historian of the covens, to understand his interest. When Selene and Michael meet Tanis, they disclose the truth about their bloodlines, and later with the support of Alexander Corvinus, Selene faces the powerful Marcus as the last hope left for mankind.- Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Picking up directly from the previous film, vampire warrior Selene and the half werewolf Michael hunt for clues to reveal the history of their races and the war between them.- Written by Daniel Jos. Leary

A consolidation algorithm for genomes fractionated after higher order polyploidization
Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics
Tenth Annual Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics
It has recently been shown that fractionation, the random loss of excess gene copies after a whole genome duplication event, is a major cause of gene order disruption. When estimating evolutionary distances between genomes based on chromosomal rearrangement, fractionation inevitably leads to significant overestimation of classic rearrangement distances. This bias can be largely avoided when genomes are preprocessed by "consolidation", a procedure that identifies and accounts for regions of fractionation.
In this paper, we present a new consolidation algorithm that extends and improves previous work in several directions. We extend the notion of the fractionation region to use information provided by regions where this process is still ongoing. The new algorithm can optionally work with this new definition of fractionation region and is able to process not only tetraploids but also genomes that have undergone hexaploidization and polyploidization events of higher order. Finally, this algorithm reduces the asymptotic time complexity of consolidation from quadratic to linear dependence on the genome size. The new algorithm is applied both to plant genomes and to simulated data to study the effect of fractionation in ancient hexaploids.

Fractionation leading to different adjacencies in diploid and ancient hexaploid
Our method is based on the identification and isolation of "fractionation intervals", regions in both the ancient polyploid and its sister diploid that may have been rearranged internally, but have (so far) been unaffected by rearrangements exchanging genes from within the interval and genes external to the interval. A second objective of our work is to inventory these regions across the two genomes so that they can be studied quantitatively. The statistical properties of the intervals bear on current topics of interest in plant evolutionary genomics, whether duplicated genes are silenced or deleted one by one or through the deletion of longer stretches of DNA, whether a fractionation region tends to lose genes largely from one or two of the
In previous work on ancient tetraploidy
One of the most significant evolutionary events in the Tree of Life was a hexaploidization that occurred in the eudicot lineage of flowering plants, some 150 million years ago
This event, along with other hexaploidizations (e.g., tomato), octoploidizations and decaploidizations (e.g., strawberry), motivate our extensions and improvements of the current consolidation method.
Then to illustrate our method, we will simulate the rearrangement and fractionation of one ancient polyploid genome, that of the grapevine, following the hexaploidization event. Unfortunately, all of the published flowering plant genomes are descendants of this event or descendants of a more complicated series of polyploidizations in the monocot clade, so that there is no extant genome unaffected by polyploidization to compare grapevine with. We do, however, know the number of chromosomes in the pre-hexaploid ancestor, and can estimate the number of genes it contained
Problem definition
For the original consolidation algorithm a fractionated region was defined as an interval
The formal definition of the generalized fractionation problem is as follows:
Input: Triple (
Output: Triple (
Before we start with the description of the actual algorithm, we shortly revise the concept of
Both types of queries can be answered in constant time after a preprocessing of
For our algorithm we need the answers to the following range maximum and range minimum queries: For every index position
For the special case that every gene has at most one occurrence on each chromosome these above queries are uniquely defined for each chromosome position. In this case we refer to the above values as "range maximum of
Basic consolidation algorithm
We assume that the chromosomes of the diploid
To simplify the initial description of the algorithm, we assume that no two copies of a gene are located on the same chromosome in
The outline of the algorithm is the following: we iterate through all genes
This process stops once all intervals
The smallest gene in a virtual gene is detected in the backward search if the following holds: (
Backward search
The above algorithm is not yet linear in the genome size, as each backward search may process the whole list of already processed gene occurrences. In the following we show how this search can be done in constant time. Table
To improve the backward search, we distinguish between terminal and non-terminal units in the list of processed gene occurrences. Terminal units are those gene occurrences that have been most recently added to a
Then during the backward search we track the number of terminal units we have seen so far in a variable called
Whenever we encounter two consecutive non-terminal units in the backward search, we merge them into a single unit. To do that we establish the minimum of their range minima and the maximum of their range maxima. We also need to update the value of
New start positions of virtual intervals can be found at non-terminal and terminal units. In non-terminal units
Apart from the merging of non-terminal intervals each backward search processes only a constant number of units. The total number of merging events between two non-terminal units is bound by the number of genes in

Allowing multiple gene copies on a chromosome
The challenge when allowing multiple copies of a gene on a chromosome is the following: if we have an occurrence
Before we do this swapping we need to check if structural constraints became available that already define whether
Another novelty when allowing multiple gene copies on one chromosome is that terminal genes need not necessarily be transformed into non-terminal units immediately after the next bigger gene on the chromosome is processed. Instead they can remain terminal until the limited availablability of intervals

Results and discussion
To study the effect of fractionation on rearrangement distances in hexaploid genomes for different rates of gene deletion, we conducted a series of experiments on simulated data. Simulated genomes were generated based on the schema shown in Figure

Change in apparent rearrangement in an ancient hexaploid compared to a diploid sister genome, as a function of actual rearrangements and number of deleted genes before (dashed lines) and after (solid lines) application of the consolidation algorithm.
In a second experiment we studied how the choice of the definition of fractionation regions affects their average size. For this study we generated tetraploid genomes of length 24,000 with the above method and deleted 15,000, respectively 21,000 of the gene copies in the tetraploid lineage and using between 600 and 4800 rearrangements. Results of these experiments are plotted in Figure
Figure 4
Size of fractionation regions as a function of the number of rearrangements
Size of fractionation regions as a function of the number of rearrangements. Size of fractionation regions as a function of the number of rearrangements for both definitions of fractionation regions on simulated tetraploid data
These results are the clearest consequences of the differences between the two definitions. In the old method, where fractionation regions contained only single-copy genes, these regions were short, and their length depended on the amount of deletion, but not very much on the amount of rearrangement. In the new definition, where fractionation regions can span both single- and double-copy genes, the regions are much longer, there is virtually no effect of the amount of deletion, but a strong dependence on the number of rearrangements. This reflects the exclusive role of rearrangement breakpoints in the new definition, whereas the old definition also depended on adjacencies between single-copy and multiple-copy genes.
Though analyzing the simulations has been instructive, to investigate fractionation in the grapevine, as an ancient hexaploid, would eventually require access to a diploid genome from an outgroup of the core eudicots.
We have, nonetheless, been able to study the effect of the choice of the fractionation interval definition on real genomes. The bar plot in Figure

This graph gives a more detailed picture of the consequences of weakening the definition of the fractionation interval, when compared to the previous study
The main contribution of this work is the algorithm that reduces computing time from quadratic to linear in
The previous definition of a fractionation region required it to contain only single-copy genes. We have proposed to weaken this restriction, allowing multi-copy genes to appear in corresponding fractionation intervals in the ancient polyploid, as long as each undeleted copy of a gene is contained in a different such interval. This weakening of the condition is not a necessary aspect of the new algorithm, and both notions of fractionation interval have their advantages. The stronger restriction may be of more interest to biologists interested specifically in single-copy regions of paleopolyploid genomes. The weaker restriction is more closely tied to the analysis of genome rearrangement since the boundaries of intervals are now necessarily rearrangement breakpoints (or chromosome ends) and not necessarily adjacencies with multi-copy genes. Moreover, under the new definition, the sizes of fractionation intervals are insensitive to the number of deletions, a property which may be useful for some research goals but detrimental for others.. The fractionation interval under both conceptions resembles "conserved intervals" in that all rearrangements have either operated within such an interval or have left these intervals intact, either because the intervals are outside the scope of the rearrangement or the interval is affected as a whole, without any effect internally. The difference is that in the new, weaker, definition, the entire paleopolyploid genome is decomposed into intervals, not just the single-copy regions.
A temporary impediment to applying this work is the current unavailability of published flowering plant genomes that have escaped polyploidization since the inception of this clade, but this difficulty should be resolved in the near future with the publication of the

He passed bizarre edicts, like banning beards, listening to car radios, smoking in public, or lipsynching in films. He introduced a new Turkmen alphabet, replacing Cyrillic - a clear stab at autonomy from neighbouring Russia; yet he banned rural libraries, asserting that country folk did not read much anyway.
Determined to restore to his people a sense of pride in their origins, he named himself Turkmenbashi - "Lord of all Turkmen" - and erected statues in his image, including one vast rotating edifice made of gold in the capital, Ashgabat, and another in the Kara Kum desert. Other outlandish projects included central Asia's largest mosque, built at a cost of $100m; a vast man-made lake in the desert; a cypress forest to counter desertification; an ice palace, ski resort and 40-metre high pyramid.
In a move much favoured by dictators, Niyazov encapsulated his literary and philosophical pretensions in a 400-page tome, Ruhnama, Book of the Spirit. More recently, he published a collection of his poems entitled My Dear, which also became mandatory reading for all citizens. After an alleged assassination attempt in 2002, he stamped out all opposition. There were reports of critical journalists being arrested and tortured to death.
Although he came to power in 1985, when his predecessor, Muhammad Gapusov, was ousted over accusations of corrupt cotton trading, Niyazov is alleged to have acquired a dubious fortune of more than $3bn. For alongside delusions of grandeur went a profound distrust, verging on paranoia. In a curious echo of Stalin, he spent his last year railing against doctors, and then succumbing to an illness which medics, presumably too scared to intervene aggressively, were unable to ward off. He replaced 15,000 health workers with untrained medical conscripts, closed all hospitals outside the capital and ordered doctors to eschew the Hippocratic Oath in favour of a pledge of allegiance to him.
Turkmenistan is roughly twice the size of the UK, borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran, and possesses the fifth largest natural gas reserves in the world - along with oil reserves of 300m barrels. Yet under Niyazov its population of 5 million remained generally poverty-stricken. According to a recent British medical report, Turkmenistan has the lowest life expectancy in Europe or central Asia.
Hidden behind the grotesque excesses lurked a shrewd operator who knew full well his nation's strengths and weaknesses, for which he chose, in the words of commentator Hamid Ismailov, an "assertively neutral" international position, while guarding his own state from outside interference. For while its population is 80% ethnically Turkic - thus affiliated to Turks from Anatolia to Kyrgyzstan - and 90% Muslim, it still depends heavily on Russia. The reason is both geographic and historical: as a landlocked desert nation, Turkmenistan relies on Russia as the sole transit route for its economic lifeblood, gas and oil.
Niyazov began life in adversity. His father died fighting against the Germans in the second world war, and his mother, a rugmaker, died along with most other family members in a massive earthquake that levelled his native Ashgabat in 1948. Young Saparmurat grew up in an orphanage before being taken in by a relative. In 1966 he graduated in engineering from a Leningrad polytechnic, and began working at a power station outside Ashgabat. Four years earlier, he had joined the Communist party; he worked his way up the ranks, until in 1985 Soviet President Mikhael Gorbachev named him as ruler of Turkmenistan.
Curiously for an ex-communist, Niyazov wrote later in Ruhnama that Marxist slogans were "a social disease", encouraging "delusion and exaggeration" and "completely destroying the individual". But while other central Asian republics took steps to adopt democratic procedures, he moved straight from one-party to no-party rule. He was twice the sole candidate in national referendums, and in 1999 was effectively made president-for-life - a decision endorsed in 2002 by hand-picked representatives in a people's council.
Fearing Islamic ascendancy, Niyazov backed American actions against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and promoted a state-approved version of Islam. Yet overall he stressed the pre-Muslim traditions of his once-nomadic people. He leaves an unsettling legacy. He did not designate a successor, and a power struggle has erupted already. He leaves his wife Muza, daughter and son.

Magic-Kings Preview
Associated Press | Last updated December 06, 2012
With Tyreke Evans back in the lineup and getting the job done from 3-point range, the Sacramento Kings just returned to the win column. Orlando Magic rookie coach Jacque Vaughn knows that Evans and the Kings are improving from beyond the arc, but he's more concerned about stopping them from getting into the paint. Sacramento will try to win two in a row for just the second time this season Friday night when the Magic look to bounce back from one of the worst 3-point shooting efforts in franchise history. After missing the previous two contests with a bruised left knee, Evans hit two late 3s and finished with 23 points Wednesday as the Kings ended a three-game slide with a 107-100 home victory over Toronto. The fourth-year guard has never been known for his outside touch - he's a career 25.8 percent 3-point shooter - but he's 7 for 15 from beyond the arc while averaging 20.3 points in his last seven games. "I'm happy for (Evans), especially on his outside shooting," said center DeMarcus Cousins, who finished with 25 points and 13 rebounds Wednesday. "If Tyreke gets confidence in that shot he's going to be an incredible player." Getting to the basket with more regularity could also help Evans raise his career-worst 15.5 scoring average. He went to the foul line a season-high 12 times Wednesday - hitting seven - as Sacramento (5-12) shot a season-high 34 free throws. The Kings, 5-2 when they take 22 or more foul shots, also extended their streak of games with six or more 3s to nine. Vaughn, though, is focused on protecting the lane, as Sacramento scored 56 points in the paint against the Raptors. "Our ability to contain penetration - it boils down to that," Vaughn said. "They have guys who can, at the end of the day, break you down one-on-one and score the basketball, whether it's Aaron Brooks, Tyreke Evans, you can go down the line, John Salmons and even Cousins at the center position doing it one-on-one." The Magic (7-11) don't have the same type of athletes on their team, and the result is a league-low 17.0 free throws per game. Orlando has taken a different offensive approach under Vaughn, shooting 16.1 3-pointers per game compared to a league-high 27.0 a season ago, but the team's success still has much to do with its ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc. The Magic are 0-8 when hitting four or fewer 3s after missing 14 of 15 in Wednesday's 87-81 loss at Utah. It was the lowest 3-point percentage ever by Orlando when it had at least 15 attempts. The team opened its five game trip by hitting 8-of-23 3s against both the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State in a pair of wins. The Magic have won two straight and seven of eight in this series, averaging 112.0 points during that stretch.

I will be doing my review first and then adding the pictures of the booster empty and while in proper use, so that you know how to exactly use it properly for your child.
When I first got the package of the Evenflo Right Fit Booster Seat I was very impressed! I have been needing to get my 4 1/2 year old daughter a new carseat that's a highback, because she has a tendency of falling asleep and slouching over which isn't good. I was fortunate to be able to work with the amazing Evenflo on a review of just the booster seat she needed! I was in for a nice surprise when it came here in red, not green. She loves it too! My daughter is about 42 lbs in weight and about 3 1/2 feet tall. This awesome booster seat even has activity lights for the child on the side of their head! How many boosters do you know that have that high tech kind of stuff on it?? I don't know of any, but it's a nice addition to have, especially if you'll be on a long car ride. It has multiple settings on the lights and needs 4 AAA batteries.
Some neat features this booster seat has:
- It offers a 2 in 1 design that allows them to transition from a high-back booster seat to a no-back booster seat.
- There are 12 different head rest and back rest height adjustment combinations, as well as, E3 foam integregated into the head and back rest components help to reduce Side Impact forces.
- It also has dual cup holders that will keep drinks and snacks close.
Pricing for this booster seat:
Babies R' Us - $89.99
Cleaning Instructions:
- Plastic may be wiped clean with mild soap and water and dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Take care not to damage any labels.
- Machine wash the seat pad separately in cold water, delicate cycle, and tumble dry 10 - 15 minutes on low heat.
Product Dimensions:
Product Height: 29" - 33.5"
Product Width: 19.5"
Product Depth: 19.5"
Seat Width: 10.5"
Seat Depth: Approximately 15"
Belt Guide Height: Approximately 14" - 19"
The purple carseat photos below I saved from their website to show you the exact dimensions of the booster seat with the headrest lowered and raised.
No child restrain can guarantee 100% protection from injury in every crash. To use this booster properly, children MUST meet weight / height requirements as follows:
With backrest:
30 to 110 lbs
38 to 57" tall
At least 4 years old
Ears below top of booster seat headrest
Without backrest:
40 to 110 lbs
40 to 57" tall
At least 4 years old
Ears below top of booster seat headrest

Azarenka set to return at Mallorca Open
Azarenka set to return at Mallorca Open | WTA Tennis
The former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka is set to play her first tournament in over a year at the Mallorca Open.
May 24, 2017
Former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka is set to play her first tournament in over a year at the Mallorca Open.
Earlier this week, Azarenka confirmed her intention to return to the tour during the grass season in time for Wimbledon.
The Mallorca Open begins on June 19th.
Who is coming to the @MallorcaOpen? YES! @vika7 #Azarenka! #dontcallitacomebackThe Mallorca Open will be Azarenka's first tournament since the 2016 French Open, where she was ranked at No.5. The two-time Australian Open champion subsequently announced she was expecting her first child and gave birth to a boy named Leo in December.
Since then, she has been working hard to get back on tour, with an initial return date scheduled for the Bank of the West Open in Stanford, California on July 18th.
In addition to Azarenka, the Mallorca Open will also be the site of Sabine Lisicki's return to competition. The 2013 Wimbledon finalist has not played a tournament in 2017 due to a shoulder injury.

What The WTA Special Ranking Rule Means For Serena, Azarenka
Learn more about what the WTA's Special Ranking rule means in maternity cases like Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka.
Published April 20, 2017 12:15
News | WTA Tennis English
With Serena Williams' announcement that she is expecting her first child this fall and new mom Victoria Azarenka returning to action later this summer, here's how the WTA's Special Ranking Rule applies to both players and in all maternity cases:
To be eligible, a player must be out for a minimum of six months, maximum of two years and be ranked inside the Top 300 (or Top 200 in doubles) at time she stopped playing. The Special Ranking application and supporting medical documentation must be submitted within six months after the last professional tournament played.
For maternity cases, players must be ready to play their first tournament within 12 months of birth.
The Special Ranking will be the ranking earned immediately after the points of the last tournament she played have been added to the WTA Rankings:
-For Serena Williams, her Special Ranking would be No.1
-For Victoria Azarenka, her Special Ranking is No.6
Upon return, a player may use her WTA Special Ranking to gain entry (not for seeding) into eight tournaments within one year of her return date. The Special Ranking can be used at a maximum of two Premier Mandatory Tournaments (Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Beijing) and two Grand Slams.
In addition, any player who is a past singles champion of a Grand Slam or WTA Finals will be allowed an unlimited number of Singles Main Draw Wild Card nominations.
The complete details can be found in the 2017 WTA Rulebook - Special Ranking Rule: pg. 218-225; Singles Main Draw Wildcards: pg.67

Tennis.life - New Victoria Azarenka coach Michael Joyce talks to Tennis.Life - Tennis.life
INDIAN WELLS Coaching on the womens tour has become a game of musical chairs in recent years. But every once in a while, theres a blockbuster move that stands out.
When former No. 1 Victoria Azarenka returns from maternity leave this summer, shell have an experienced guide at her side in Michael Joyce, the longtime coach of Maria Sharapova. Joyce has had two coaching jobs since 2004. First came a 6 1/2-year run with Sharapova, then a five-year stint with American Jessica Pegula. Barry Buss reached out to Joyce to find out what precipitated the change, in this Tennis.Life exclusive.
TL: I saw the news come through yesterday of your hiring. First of all, congratulations. Can you share with us how your pairing with Victoria Azarenka came about?
MJ: It came about pretty randomly. I was speaking with her agent in January about something entirely unrelated, when he mentioned Vika was cranking up her training in order to come back sometime later this year. In the course of the conversation, he asked in passing if I might be interested in working with her. Initially I said no, that I was happy where I was with Jessie. But then I started giving the opportunity some thought. We spoke again. I came out to California to talk to Vika and hit some balls with her. I was immediately impressed by how focused she was and how hungry she was to get back to playing. But pulling the trigger was really tough. Im incredibly close with Jessie and her family. I agonized pretty hard about the decision. It wasnt easy at all.
TL: Youd been with Jessie for five years. Where is she at in her career?
MJ: Shes had some real tough luck. Shes been knocking on the door of the top 100 three separate times the last few years, only to get hurt and have to take time off. Last summer she was playing some of her best tennis. She made the semis of Washington, beating Stosur along the way. But her back and hip were giving her trouble. She kept trying to play but it was getting harder and harder for her. Her doctor said shes going to have to get surgery at some point, so we shut her down in January where she got her hip operated on. She has a protected ranking, and I plan to help her with her transition to make sure shes in the best hands possible. If all goes well with her recovery shell be back playing again by summer, we hope.
TL: Does Victoria have a time table to return to competition?
MJ: No, she doesnt. Right now shes gradually picking up her training. Ill be joining her in Europe in a few weeks to kick it up another level. But theres no set date, and more importantly, theres no rush. We talked optimistically about being back for the grass courts season with maybe Wimbledon as a target, but realistically, more likely sometime during the summer hard-court season.
TL: Theres precedent for new mothers to come back strong and get right back to the top again, with Kim Clijsters as the most recent example. Have you discussed what goals you have for the partnership?
MJ: Absolutely. As I said, her hunger to get back to the top of the womens game was what made working with her attractive. The fact that shes won two Slams before and been number one, yet is driven to work even harder to get better than she ever was before. That really impressed me. And the fact that I have experience coaching at that level during my time with Maria. I think I can really help her achieve her goals.
TL: In the coaching world, you are the exception, having two relationships that lasted more than five years. What is it about your style that allows you to develop these long-term bonds?
MJ: Couple things. I see every player as different with unique needs. One style cant fit all. Ive worked very hard at remaining flexible with my players. Coaches have to understand their players intimately first and foremost, and work within that understanding. A mistake a lot of coaches make is they have success with a player doing things a certain way. Then they get a new student and apply that same style with an entirely different player and person. That rigidity doesnt always work. Hence a lot of the high turnover.
Secondly, if Im trying to get a player to do a certain thing and its not happening for whatever reason, Im not afraid to bring in outside help. I think my players appreciate that, that its not all about me and my job security. That their best interests always come first and that Im willing to do whatever it takes to help them become their best.
TL: Ok. Now for the important question. Youre a new father yourself. Whos baby is cuter, your Maya or Vikas Leo?
MJ: Ha. Theyre both adorable. And big! Two big kids. I think we have some good tennis DNA between us. I see a future mixed Slam in their futures.
TL: All joking aside. You both are new parents. Do you think that will enhance your working relationship?
MJ: Absolutely. You know how it is. Theres a lot of downtime in coaching. You can only talk about tennis so much. Now we share this awesome experience of being new parents, so theres so much more now that connects us than just the tennis. Its uncharted territory for us both. We can exchange tennis and parenting tips with each other and help each other along.
TL: I was one of your coaches as a junior, and now youre coaching Vika. Does that make me her grandcoach?
MJ: Ha. Only if you babysit and spoil them silly.
TL: Thanks for your time. And best of luck to you both.

As its name suggests is a type of plastic, which can be decomposed naturally, thus less harmful to the environment. Biodegradable plastic can be composed from renewable raw materials. Environment savior biodegradable plastic is a great method to take all the advantages of the plastic yet save the environment. This is the reason why biodegradable bags are gaining popularity.
Photo: treehugger.com
As we all know that most of the retail packaging is done with the help of plastic packaging products and the booming packaging industry is a potential threat to our environment. The boom in this plastic packaging sector is coming at the cost of our environment. Nowadays, the use of plastic is unlimited as even one cannot imagine his life without the plastics, for example the advertising companies are making the use of plastic heavily for their advertising banners. Plastic is cheap, durable but harmful to the environment. According to a survey more than 2.5 billion plastic bags per year are dumped in an average sized country alone.
Ordinary plastic: A threat to the atmosphere
It is not like that the ordinary plastic is un-degradable, but it takes hundreds of years for ordinary plastic to degrade. If it is not done properly then plastic can be the food of any animal causing the loss of their life. It is also the reason of greenhouse gas emission and pollution and even more harmful because it generates several types of harmful gases.
Why biodegradable plastic?
There are many sanctions created against the plastic bags in many countries but none were successful because nobody can ignore the importance of plastic. The scientists are thinking about creating a material which can take that effectiveness and usability of plastics and avoid its harmful things, and they came up with biodegradable plastic. Also the replacement of the ordinary plastic has to be cost-effective otherwise people will hesitate to accept it. There are several replacements suggested by the scientists before the biodegradable plastic but none was found to be effective. These replacements were not the proper match or proper answer for cheap, low weight and water resistant plastic.
Sometimes paper bags are suggested to be a replacement of plastic but researchers revealed that more paper bags will cause even more harm to the environment because it will directly envolve cutting of the trees and paper bag industries will create even more pollution. Recycling the plastic was considered as an option but failed because not all the people in USA collected their plastic waste, and it is not possible to gain all the used plastic back for recycling. Actually, less than 2% plastic bags are recycling in USA per year.
This is the only method found to be effective against the ordinary plastic. The manufacturing of biodegradable plastic involves the use of addictive like D2W and EPI combined with the film of polythene during the manufacturing process. The lifespan of biodegradable plastic is dependent upon the substances use while manufacturing and the environmental condition in which the biodegradable plastic left to degrade. These bags are naturally degraded by heat, light and oxygen.
Nowadays, many plastics manufacturing companies are coming in this way and focusing on manufacturing biodegradable plastic to save our environment, which is a good sign.

Chapter Two
Her eyelids fluttered a little before opening completely, revealing sky blue eyes.
She tried to sit up a little, but was struck by dizziness. Black motes danced across her field of vision, fuzzy speckles that she couldn't focus upon.
"You alright, Nora?"
"Hmm?" She clenched her eyes shut in an effort to blink back the spots. When she finally managed to sit upright she collapsed forward onto the shoulder of the man, the Leo look-alike.
"Sit tight, Quinn will be right back with something for you," he whispered into her ear.
"Quinn?" The name was unfamiliar to her, and she didn't remember seeing anyone else besides this familiar stranger.
He disregarded her question. "You were out for maybe thirty seconds, probably low blood sugar or something. Have you eaten anything recently?"
"Who's Quinn?" Nora asked softly, pulling herself from the man's shoulder.
"He's grabbing you an apple juice. It's your favourite, right?"
"How'd you know? And who's Quinn?"
The man uttered a quick laugh. "Because I'm your partner, Nora."
Nora remembered that Leo had a habit of using neutral terms, and said "partner" when others would have just said "husband." One of those quirks that she found endearing. More memories came flooding back, and she smiled, remembering the time he was still alive.
"Wait, you're not," her voice trailed off. He didn't fill the silence, but just looked into her eyes with a strange intent she couldn't fathom. It wasn't a lustful gaze, or an affectionate one. It was the almost demeaning gaze of a medical professional analyzing his patient. She was spooked. "You're not dead, Leo?"
His eyes widened at her words and a crazed look overcame him.
"Don't use that name here," he exclaimed in a savage whisper. "And of course not!"
Nora's lips moved in an attempt to speak, but no words came to her. Instead, she just looked upon his face, dumb. He stood, and hoisted her up off the Heathrow floor with him. He instructed her to sit on one of the plush chairs alongside the table, and she willingly, though with some trepidation, sank into it. Her paperback rested on the table, momentarily forgotten.
"Who are you?" she demanded in a shaky tone.
He turned to look at her from his own chair, face full of that false concern. "As I said before, I'm your partner, Nester. Something wrong?"
"My husband's name is Leo."
His face flushed red and he shot cautionary gazes about the room, which was almost empty in the early morning. He grabbed her wrist made to slap her, from which she gasped and recoiled, but was interrupted by the arrival of Quinn.
"Ah, our Sleeping Beauty has awoken I see." His eyes fell upon Nora's white wrist, and he followed Nester's hand up to his arm, his shoulder, and then finally glared at the man's face.
Releasing the woman's wrist he fell back into the upholstery. Nora, too, made a release, though of the breath she had caught in her throat.
"Here, drink up," Quinn said, presenting her with a glass bottle of apple juice.
"Thanks." She twisted the cap off with an audible pop, and then took a few sips of the juice. Nester was right - it was her favourite. But how did he know? He wasn't her Leo, and so probably wasn't her husband, either. What, then, did he mean by partner? And she still didn't know who Quinn was, either. Everything was so confusing.
"You have the boarding passes, Nestor?"
He nodded, and produced a British Airways envelope from inside his jacket. Nora reached a hand into her own jacket pocket, but it came back empty.
"Funny," she whispered to herself. Next she dug her hands into her purse, setting the bottle of juice on the floor beside her. Again, nothing.
"Did you steal my boarding pass while I was blacked out?" she exclaimed, horrified.
"I can't trust you with it, Nora," Nester replied. "Especially with you not knowing who we are."
"Wait." Quinn turned to her with a surprised look. "You don't remember us?"
"No!" Nora said, standing. "Now give me back my pass and I'll be leaving. I'm travelling alone, after all."
"No you're not," Nester smiled. "And no, I won't."
"Boss man wants all three of us there, Nora," Quinn added. "Our seats are all apart for our safety, but we go together."
Again Nora was at a loss for words. Their boss? Their safety? She knew that, working for an international development agency, she was heading into a less than peaceful environment, but she had always travelled alone and met with a contact from the local office on arrival.
Quinn chuckled at her dumbfounded stare. "You don't even know where you're going, do you?"
Her anger returned. "Of course I do. I'm flying to Nairobi. Alone. Now give me my pass or I'll call the authorities."
Nester clucked his tongue in disapproval, shaking his head at the same time. "You wouldn't want to do that, Miss Klein."
"Why ever not? And how do you know my name?"
"Apparently we know a lot more about you than you yourself do," Quinn sighed.
"I'm Nora Klein. I'm flying to Nairobi on behalf of an international development agency to ensure that the local office is up to standards."
Both men burst out laughing at her calmly executed remarks.
"Is that what you call it? International development?" Quinn laughed, holding his gut.
"Give me my pass!" Nora screamed.
Nester stood and held one of the boarding passes out toward her. When she grabbed it he in turn grabbed her shoulder, but didn't let go of the printed paper.
"Let me go," Nora said through gritted teeth.
"Stop making a scene, Nora," Nester answered through his own clenched teeth, his eyes darting back and forth to observe the whole room. "You of all people should know the importance of constant vigilance."
She narrowed her eyes and tore the pass from the man's grip.
"Go, but meet us at the baggage claim in Nairobi," he uttered softly. "We can't pull off this assassination without you."
Nora's eyes widened in shock, and, overcome by a sudden unexplained impulse, she struck Nester over the side of his head with the glass bottle still in her hand, though it did not shatter. The juice spilled to the floor, and she ran.

Glimmers of brilliance from likeable comedian
This article is from 2011.
Likeable but palpably nervous, Caton's material shows promise.

61The Soul's Calendar Aug. 13th-19th
Expand Messages
- Aug 13, 2000THE "CALENDAR OF THE SOUL"
Heres the "Soul-Calendar" for this 17th week after Easter. The Calendar's
52 meditative mantras enable you to experience 'astral' or soul events
occurring within you in the course of the year. It's in the original German
and in English.
Es spricht das Weltenwort,
Das ich durch Sinnestore
In Seelengründen durfte führen:
Erfülle deine Geistestiefen
Mit meinen Weltenweiten,
Zu finden einstens mich in dir.
There speaks the World-Word,
That I through the Senses' Gate
Would allow to lead me into Soul's Ground:
"Fill your Spirit-Deeps
With my World-Widenesses
To find one day Me in you."
For those not familiar with the use of mantras:
Anthroposophy intensifies the mind by the use of images called
"Imaginations" which awaken spiritual sight, and mantras which begin
'spiritual hearing' (or "Inspirations"). The meaning of the words of a mantra
at first sight is not the essential thing, but rather reciting it and
entering with deeper soul-forces into its inner experience.
These mantras were also, of course, created in the German language and
have their rhythms in that, so learning an English version is just a step to
using the original. Steiner spoke of how German has preserved words lost by
other languages, and could be for us today what Sanskrit was in olden times:
THE language in which spirit-truths are expressed. In translating therefore,
Ive tried to keep close to the original, so that anyone can easily go from
English to German.
In addition to the mantrams, the anthroposophical Soul-Calendar
originally contained 12 drawings of the zodiac to be meditated on to sense
the working of the solar forces in the cosmos in the day, and the Moon's
position in the constellations was given for each night, to sense the lunar
forces. The Sun, according to the Doctor, is under the influence of Leo from
August 4th to Sept. 7th in our era; unfortunately we cannot send the symbolic
image of Leo executed from sketches & indictations by the Doctor this week,
due to technical limitations. The Moon positions and phases are listed below
for each night, along with some of the birth & death days of famous persons
published in the first Seelencalendar: their lives and contributions are
fruitful material for contemplation on their days. Im translating these to
restore the Calendar to its intended use with the full spiritual/solar/lunar
Sunday August 13th. Moon Capricornus. Hippolytus.
Monday August 14th. Moon Capricornus. Eusebius.
Tuesday August 15th. Moon Aquarius. Full Moon. Mary's Ascension to Heaven.
Wednesday August 16th. Moon Aquarius. 1743 The Chemist Lavoisier born.
Thursday August 17th. Moon Pisces. Liberatus.
Friday August 18th. Moon Pisces. Joachim (father of Mary).
Saturday August 19th. Moon Aries. 1662 Blaise Pascal died.

A Pretty Little Bauble
Barbara held it up to the light, and Lillian gasped in surprise. It caught the light and flashed prisms around itself.
"I.. is it real?" Lillian breathed.
"I don't know, but by the looks of it, it might be."
"Let me have a look. I took geology and earth courses all through high school. I want to be a geophysicist someday if I ever get the money to start college. I even went on some mine digs in my senior year. My senior geology class project was to collect as many rocks, stones, gems etc. that I could dig up, and assess them for hardness, colour, clarity, value, and all that good stuff. I got an A plus."
Barb handed it to her hesitantly. She didn't really want to let go of it. It was almost like she was mesmerized by it. Lillian took it gingerly and held it up to the strong sunlight. She studied it carefully by squinting with one eye, then the other.
"Good Lord in heaven, I think this is a real, pristine blood ruby! I'd need a jeweller's loop to make sure, but I think it's facets might be flawless. It's at least 3 karats! "
Lillian rested it in the palm of her hand for a moment, and it fit in the hollow perfectly.
"This pretty little bauble has got to be worth a couple of million dollars!"
Suddenly frightened by the enormity of this discovery, she took both of Barb's hands and enclosed the jewel within them. She closed the two hands together to make a safe little nest.
"You've got to put it in a safety deposit box until your dad can get it to a good jeweller and get it appraised, Barb."
Barb stared at it cupped in her hands. Her face flushed a little with apprehension and indecision. Then her mouth firmed up with resignation.
"The thing is, uh...it isn't mine to decide what to do with. Before I put it in the doll I.. well, I'm pretty sure.. I think I stole it!"
She blushed beet red with this admission.
Lillian opened her mouth to start spurting out questions when they heard the heavy metal fire door to the annex close with a solid thud.
Barbara quickly pulled the headless body of the doll onto her lap, dropped the ruby inside and started twisting the head back on.
The foreman and a younger man walked toward them. By the time they reached the girls, Barb had gotten the head back on the doll.
The girls had been sitting under the shade of the dumpster, and the two men were walking in sunlight. It was unlikely that they saw her drop something into the doll, but Barbara couldn't be sure.
Lillian stood up and stuck her hand out to take attention away from Barb and the doll.
"Hi Mr. Gutterfisk. Hi Jake. Did you see Mr. Pierson?"
In the world outside the theatre and the immediate two families, Harry Ogden was still known as Ogden Pierson the third, famous movie star.
Lee Gutterfisk shook Lillian's hand.
"Hello Lillian. It's nice to see you up close for once. You're usually flitting about while we're working, but you never seem to stay put for long. How are you?"
Lillian blushed. Except for the few hours when she had reverted to her childhood gregariousness, she was still quite shy.
"I'm.. uh.. fine. Have you met Barbara Ogden?"
Barbara had never changed her name to her father's stage name. He had never asked her to, and she had never offered.
When the foreman shook his head in the negative, Barb stood up and held the doll in the crook of her left arm. She stuck out her right hand and took a step forward.
"Hello Mr. Gutterfisk. Nice to meet you. You are..?"
She shook the foreman's hand and looked toward the younger man. He stepped forward and shook her hand.
"Jake Gutterfisk. I'm helping my dad on this project for the summer. I'm hoping to study architecture in the fall."
"Well, this is a good place to get started. Did my dad mention a grey garbage bin that had been in the annex early this morning? There were some white wooden boxes in it. I wonder if you saw it?"
Lillian watched with admiration as Barbara completely took over the subject and direction of the conversation without anyone realizing that she had taken charge. She was used to handling the media, and meeting many different kinds of people. For the second time today, Lillian wondered if Barb was a natural actress.
"Your dad asked us about the bins, so we went around to the various work sites to track them down. The construction company is using twenty wheeled bins that are spread around the theatre's work sites. They're all numbered. All but seven of them were emptied into this dumpster just after we started work. The full dumpster was taken away last night and this one was delivered this morning."
Jake explained all this to Barb as Lillian stood beside her, hanging on every word. She was hoping against hope that Jake and his dad had found her boxes.
"Where are the other seven?"
"Six are still on the different sites being filled. No white boxes. Number 13 of the twenty has somehow gone missing."

East Providence's Bay View holds 2014 commencement
PROVIDENCE — On the evening of Monday, June 9, the 115 members of Bay View Academy's Class of 2014 donned white robes, gloves and caps and received their diplomas at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul.
They were asked to turn their tassels and join the rank of distinguished Bay View alumnae by fellow alumna, Kirsten Brown Harvey (East Providence, RI), who was a member of the first class to graduate from Bay View at the Cathedral in Providence, 30 years ago. It's a tradition that the Academy has honored and enjoyed ever since.
Emily Sulanowski, of Cranston, Valedictorian of the class of 2014, addressed the crowd of students, families, faculty, staff and members of the Board of Trustees, with a moving speech about what it means to "be Bay View," a reference to the Academy's often used phrase, "I am Bay View."
She told her classmates what "I am Bay View" means to her: "Being Bay View is holding yourself and those around you to higher standards of achievement and character...We don't just win championships and deliver breathtaking monologues; we also fill the bleachers and give the standing ovations...Being Bay View is also about being courageous. It is about recognizing that every risk is a chance to soar, and that every challenge is an opportunity to prove that we are stronger than anyone thought we could be."
Emily also spoke of the abundance of advice that she and her fellow graduates have been and will continue to receive. To that abundant amount, Emily added her own sage advice: listen to all of it, but don't necessarily follow it.
She said, "When it comes down to it, advice is no substitute for your own conscience, your own confidence, and your own convictions. And as Bay View women, we have an abundance of all three--enough to live memorable lives, achieve our dreams and change the world."
Emily is a National Merit Scholar and has received numerous other academic awards including the Harvard University Book Award and the Rensselaer Medal of Honor for excellence in math and science. From Bay View she won the Creative Achievement Award, the Excellence in Humanities Award and the Sister Mary Donald Egan Award for excellence in the study of language and literature. She is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honor Society, Excalibur Science Honor Society, and the National Honor Society. Outside of Bay View, Emily has been a competitive gymnast since 2006 for Gymnastics Rhode Island and is a trained classical pianist. As a well-rounded student both in and out of the classroom, Emily has been a member of the Bay View Math Team since her freshman year and has also been recognized for her artistic talents in writing, music and visual arts. In the fall, Emily will attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to study architecture.
Bay View President Vittoria Pacifico-DeBenedictis followed Emily in addressing the crowd. Her impactful speech opened with a reference to the recent Time magazine article (April 2014) that challenged the perception that boys are better students in math and science than girls, while girls are better in language and reading. The article references a study published in the American Psychological Association journal, Psychological Bulletin. Professors at the University of New Brunswick in Canada compiled data from over 308 different studies, including more than one million boys and girls, to conclude that not only is the perception of male superiority in math and science wrong, in fact girls have been outscoring boys in all subjects and have as far back as the earliest study reviewed from 1914.
President DeBenedictis, who was all-girls educated from grade school through graduate school, asked the crowd to consider the implications for Bay View students. "If girls outscore boys in all subjects and have for 100 years," she said, "just think how well girls do when they are single-gender educated and encouraged to pursue the very fields that stereotypes have long led us to believe are just for the boys."
She encouraged the graduates to carry with them one of the core values of the Sisters of Mercy--concern for women and women's issues. "Take that concern not just into your communities, but also into the workplace," she said, speaking of the importance of women helping other women to get ahead through mentorship.
Referring to the wage gap that exists between men and women of equal education and backgrounds, President DeBenedictis advised the graduates: "We women need to stick together as sisters to move the world forward, so that women and men may walk side by side as equals -- neither in front, nor behind. The success of women in the past has paved the road for you today. Let your success pave the road for the next generation."
With the Bay View Chamber Choir's triumphant singing of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, the Class of 2014 became alumnae of Bay View Academy. In the fall they will head off to colleges and universities both near and far, such as Brown University, the United States Naval Academy, Bryant University, Boston College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Providence College, The University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Purdue University, Salve Regina, the University of Virginia, Colgate University, University of California at Los Angeles and much more.
In addition to the celebration at the Cathedral, Bay View honored the Class of 2014 at the Senior Awards night on June 5 at the West Valley Inn. The following are a few of the top academic and character-based honors bestowed on graduating seniors of Bay View Academy.
Shannon Coffey, of Warwick, was named Salutatorian for the class of 2014 and was given the Secretary of State Award. She was the University of Rhode Island Book Award recipient last spring and is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society, the National English Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honor Society, and the National Honor Society. A leader in the classroom, community, and on the court, Shannon was captain of the Varsity Volleyball team this past fall. In addition, Shannon has been a contributing member on both the Indoor Track team and the Lacrosse team. She has also represented Bay View as a class delegate and as a student ambassador for the past four years.
Shannon has dedicated much of her time to service, both at Bay View and her church. She participated in the Homeless Sleep Out for the past two years and recently traveled to the Dominican Republic during February vacation to participate in service learning. At her church, St. Gregory the Great, Shannon has been a counselor at the Bible Camp for the past five years. In the fall, Shannon will attend Fordham University.
Alexandra Scala, of East Providence, is the third ranked member of the Class of 2014. Alexa is a three sport athlete, competing in Field Hockey, Ice Hockey and Lacrosse. As a student-athlete, Alexa has received numerous accolades including Bay View Athletic's Outstanding Athlete award for the past three years and various All-State and All-Division recognition in both Field Hockey and Ice Hockey. She has also served on Bay View's Athletic Leadership Council. Alexa is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society, the National English Honor Society, the Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honor Society, Excalibur Science Honor Society, and the National Honor Society. She was the recipient of the Holy Cross Book Award last spring and will attend Brown University in the fall.
This year, all three of the top students, Emily, Shannon and Alexa, were part of the group of eleven young women who were presented with the Mercy Honor Award. This award is given annually to young women whose attitude and behavior reverence the dignity of persons, who create a spirit of hospitality and who pursue integrity of word and deed.
The culminating honor bestowed by Bay View Academy is the Catherine McAuley Woman of the Year Award. The recipient is a young woman of singular character and impeccable integrity who leaves an indelible imprint on the fabric of the Bay View community. She possesses a firm commitment to her academic pursuits, as well as a deep, intellectual curiosity. She reflects the unselfish values of Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, by improving the quality of life of those with whom she comes in contact. She epitomizes the qualities for which Bay View stands: knowledge, character, compassion and a determination to make the world around her a better place. The recipient of the Catherine McAuley Woman of the Year Award 2014 is Stephanie Labib. Stephanie is from Swansea and will be attending the University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth in the fall.
The following 115 students are the members of Bay View Academy's Class of 2014 listed by town and state of residence:
Carlee Sincavage, Foxboro, Mass., Bridget Clemmey, Mansfield, Mass., Andrea Haddad, Rehoboth, Mass., Shelley Hobson, Rehoboth, Mass., Nicola Kutz, Rehoboth, Mass., Paige Monk, Rehoboth, Mass., Patricia Gauthier, Seekonk, Mass., Wendy Paluch, Seekonk, Mass., Stephanie Labib, Swansea, Mass., Laura Poulton, Westport, Mass.

It's a Lie
My friend wrote this then gave it to me. As poetic as I am, I don't really get what he was trying to write here but I thought you guys would see something that I missed.
It's a Lie
Frost eats at the ground
My mittens and hat need to be found
My jacket is on, my boots are tied
Now I light the leather-man's lie
Due to its short length, I posted this as an Addventure so that you, the people, can feel free to voice and add some lines leave the original poem alone, but copy it to a branch, then add your own text.

I'm here to meet models and help with pics for portfolios. I keep my rates for photo shoots very reasonable and I do like to make my studio shoots enjoyable.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The white iPhone 4 can really, truly, finally be yours on Thursday.
A full 309 days after it was supposed to be launched, Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) said it has discovered the secret sauce to manufacturing its smartphone in a white casing, and it is ready to put the device on sale at Apple, Verizon (VZW) and AT&T (T, Fortune 500) stores across the country.

Actually, there's more to it. Leading to hardware fragmentation, which I feel can be worse or just as bad as software fragmentation. Here's a comparison.

Lord Falconer, minister with responsibility for the Dome, was expected to announce details of the deal today, in which the Dome and the surrounding 190 acres are given away to the developer Meridian Delta (MDL), in exchange for a share of future profits.
The announcement, expected to be made in the Lords this afternoon, has already been delayed after a last minute hitch when it transpired that British Gas's property arm, Lattice, was threatening to take the Government to court. Lattice is demanding that under a five-year deal signed in 1997, it is owed 7.5% of the land's market value, which could amount to some £40m.
Lord Falconer was locked in talks on Tuesday over this and a number of other issues surrounding the site on the Greenwich peninsula. But when he makes a statement on the venture later today, the minister - a close friend of Tony Blair who has taken most of the flak for the embarrassing saga over the attraction - will argue that it represents value for money.
Under the scheme, the Dome will be converted into a 20,000-seat arena for concerts and sports events. The land around will be sold off in packages, for businesses and housing, with the Government taking up to a 50% share in the profits.
Lord Falconer will put the best possible interpretation on the deal, claiming that it could result in more than £500m coming back to the public purse over the next 25 years. But the £3m-a-year maintenance and security costs will be criticised by MPs, who wanted to see the Government rid itself of the troubled attraction.
The complex planning process involved in allowing the Dome to be used as an arena could take at least 18 months - or longer if Ken Livingstone decides to hold up the approval. MDL does not initially pay a penny for the land, or its 999-year lease of the building. Instead, it pays for parcels of land as it is developed.Reuse content
