The Sexual Century, disappointingly, does not offer much on the alliteration front. On the other hand, it is full of magnificent platitudes. Whopping great duck-billed platitudes. For example, we were told that, in Victorian times, the British upper-classes screwed around constantly, while the middle- and lower-classes were sexually repressed. Cue the old one about shapely piano legs being covered up, lest they offend genteel middle-class sensibilities.
The Sachs voice operated effortlessly, but the words needed work. In the 1920s, Berlin "was the sexual engine of Europe". A nice image, but dangerously close to being completely meaningless. Then there was the sexologist Alfred Kinsey, who discovered in later life that he was homosexual. At Berkeley, Sachs solemnly added, "9,000 people were gripped by him". Either Kinsey had a startling sexual appetite, or more care should have been taken with the script. The clips, by contrast, were fabulous. We saw, for example, a turn-of-the-century anti-masturbation suit which one day, God willing, will turn up on The Antiques Roadshow. "It is something of a family heirloom," a sweet old lady will say, "and I rather hoped you could explain its original purpose."
So The Sexual Century had its moments. In fact I learnt something of considerable personal interest. Before we were blessed with the joyous encumbrance of children, my wife and I spent a romantic holiday driving through New England in the fall, and wound up at a backwoods kind of place called Rangeley, Maine. There we hired a tiny four-seater plane, with pilot, and rather alarmingly flew through a violent snowstorm, which was followed by an extraordinarily vivid rainbow. Anyway, I now find that a German immigrant called Reich set up a celebrated sex research institute in, of all places, Rangeley, Maine. And one of Reich's theories was that orgasmic energy could influence weather patterns. Poppycock? I think not. Not that I am under any illusions, of course, but I do recall two honeymooning couples staying in the same motel.
Sorry to be frivolous but The Sexual Century demands it. It has intellectual pretensions yet the stark fact is that sex sells, whether as one of those cheap ball-point pens which reveal a naked woman when turned upside-down, or as a lavish five-part documentary series. Consequently, there is as much titillation in The Sexual Century as in most post-watershed dramas. After all, what was the point of giving up News at Ten if not to replace Trevor McDonald with a nipple or two?
I hope the series improves. Part one rattled simplistically through the careers of various "sex pioneers" - how wonderful to be described as a sex pioneer, and what delusions of deity it must have conferred - lingering to detail their own sexual oddities. Havelock Ellis liked to watch women urinate. And I hardly dare tell you about Kinsey. The programme interviewed one of his researchers, incidentally, a respectable old man with the fine name of Clarence Tripp. "I had a little dab of animal intercourse in my history as a child," he said, in much the same casually boastful manner as one might mention that one used to do a spot of canoeing. Kinsey, he added, "was very interested in that". I'm not surprised. So was I. It was a showstopper. But, brutally, the show went on.
Having watched the credits with my usual zeal, I can tell you that The Sexual Century is a Canadian co-production and owes its existence, in part, to the Ontario Film and Television Fund Program. Or OFTFP, which sounds like a watchdog body for dyslexics. Now I am on dangerous ground because dyslexia is no laughing matter; indeed, the gravity of the condition has been underlined by a Channel 4 season. Just as you know a news story is big when Kate Adie pops up in her fatigues, so a Channel 4 season conveys the message that if you didn't take this particularly seriously before, you should now.
I watched only one programme, Dyslexic Criminals. It was poorly titled, for what I expected was the revelation that certain well-known criminals were dyslexic, perhaps that Al Capone could barely spell his name, or that "Mad" Frankie Fraser would never have got collared for such-and-such a robbery if he had not taken so long to read `Beware of the Dog'. In fact, the programme focused on an experiment, conducted at a Young Offenders' Institution near Edinburgh, which established that dyslexia was far more prevalent there than in society at large. So the message was clear. If dyslexia is not diagnosed, which in deprived areas it rarely is, then children are written off as plain thick and alienated at school. This leads to truancy, delinquency and, more often than not, jail sentences.
What the message failed to consider, of course, was the right-wing line that these teenagers were innately a bad lot, or at any rate that social conditioning would have guided them towards crime, whether or not they were dyslexic. Nevertheless, there was an irresistible optimism about the experiment's findings, reflected in the fixed grins of the two educational psychologists whose pet project it was. Let's hope that it leads somewhere. Since I first added potassium sulphide to hydrochloric acid on my unfaltering journey towards an E in O-level chemistry, I have been of the cynical conviction that experiments rarely do.
Still, optimism is a great thing, and Anna and Paul have it in spades. Literally so, for they invited their wedding guests to give them trees. "Planting a tree is about having faith in the future and that's what marriage is about," said Paul, which would have sounded pious in anyone else, but somehow went perfectly with his bicycle clips. This was Wedding Lists (BBC2), the first in a five-part series called Seeking Pleasure which, according to last week's Radio Times, is about taste, identity and anthropology. In fact, it is about class. Pure and simple. But class is a dread word in television these days, no matter that it is still the underlying theme in nine out of 10 documentaries.
Some people reject football because there is far too much of it, lumping together the tedious goalless draw with the 4-3 spectacular. There's a similar tendency to dismiss all "observational" documentary series, good and bad. Wedding Lists, in fact, was a gem, edited with style and wit. If only it had come clean - that it was actually an elegant disquisition on class division. Were we really expected to swallow some guff about taste and identity, with one couple compiling their list at Argos, another at Harrods?
But then television does make unreasonable demands of us. Channel 5, for example, expects us to sit through yet another series on police pursuits, this time called Chopper Coppers. I watched programme one and, frankly, when you've seen one helicopter chasing joyriders through a built-up area, you've seen them all. The alarming truth of the matter, though, is that this series might just as easily have wound up on BBC1, only with Andrew Sachs narrating, rather than Jamie Theakston.

Day Twenty Three.
Nathan Keismer picked up his Pepsi a bit too gingerly and the condensation around the paper cup caused it to slip right out of his grasp, dumping about 30 of the 32 ounces of soda into his lap. He swore a bit too loudly.
"Nate?" Kevin Madsen called from his cubicle, which faced a full length window that ran the length of the jungle. Beyond the glass only the dense growth of the Amazon rainforest could be seen. Why BioGraphy had chosen this spot, they still wouldn't say. They were alone in the lab. Only the two of them would voluntarily stay late anyway.
"I'm sorry!" Nate called, "I dropped my soda…"
"No, I meant can you come here?"
"Uh not really," he was wiping Pepsi from the seat, his Dockers, the floor, his desk, taking special care with the computer on the table top, since he didn't want to find out later what it really cost.
"Uh, yeah really, like… I need you to come over here. Right now."
"Okay!" Nate yelled back, muttering a few somethings about how no one could run this place without him. He crossed and saw that Kevin had a small town centered on his largest computer screen. In the center was a red Jeep, parked awkwardly in the middle of the road.
"Where is this?" Nate snapped.
"It's only in sector 47, but-"
"Thank God. When did you see it?" Nate interrupted.
"When I called your name!"
Nate breathed a short sigh of relief as he picked up the phone to call Professor Jennings. Sector 47 was still somewhere in the middle. The smaller the number the closer the sector to the perimeter. And they had been explicitly told to protect any survivors they may find from reaching the perimeter.

The City & The City
China Miéville
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
BONUS: This edition contains a The City & The City discussion guide and excerpts from China Miéville's Kraken and Embassytown.
When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. To investigate, Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to its equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the vibrant city of Ul Qoma. But this is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a seeing of the unseen. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, Borlú is enmeshed in a sordid underworld of nationalists intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives uncover the dead woman's secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them more than their lives. What stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between these two cities.

The City & The City
This was a very fun page-turner sci-fi novel with moments of intellectual depth and a very original storyline that really inhibits any detailed discussion without giving away a lot of the story. It's a sci-fi novel but as with most thoughtful fiction it gives the reader a lot to think about with regard to our society and politics today.
I'm knocking it down one star because by the end I felt that a lot of the challenging presentation of the novel (i.e. making the reader think and figure out the plot) turned into Mieville hand-holding and explaining a bit too much. There's a learning curve, a detective phase where one must piece together what weird world the author has constructed, and once you get it it's awesome -- but after all that effort Mieville starts to over explain the way the sci-fi world works.
In the end: a great read and original, thoughtful story development that will lend itself to rich discussion with any other fellow readers.
Really thought-provoking.
Loved that this got me so far away from chick-lit book club selections with plot points like regret, miscommunication, and romance. No, this is so much more complex and so much more interesting. A sci-fi murder-mystery with a hefty dose of archeology as set perhaps behibd the iron curtain. Dense, and not the quickest read, but just wonderful.

Lincoln Medical Center, Bronx, NY
Lincoln Hospital has been at forefront of this outbreak and has cared for several patients with suspected/ confirmed H1N1 virus in the South-Bronx Area in NY. We report on patient characteristics of critically ill patients admitted with ILI.
A prospective chart review of all adult patients with ILI with laboratory evidence of probable or confirmed H1N1 admitted between May1st and July30th 2009 was performed. Probable cases include either Influenza-A Antigen positive or Novel-H1N1 PCR positive patients while confirmed cases include patients with both tests positive.
15 among 47 hospitalized patients met above inclusion criteria and were admitted to the ICU. Average APACHE-II score was 31. Only 5 patients were older than 65 years(median-age: 49.5,Range: 22-79). 3patients did not report fevers, but all patients had respiratory complaints. 4 among the 5 patients who did not have previous co-morbidity had a BMI > 26. 9/15 patients were overweight with a median BMI of 33.5 among overweight subjects. Lymphopenia was noted in 10/15 patients and elevated CPK was noted in 7/15 with a median of 563. 7 had LDH values out of proportion to CPK elevation(median of 362 among all subjects). 4 patients had normal radiographs on admission, alveolar consolidation(07), interstitial infiltrates (02) and nodular infiltrates (02). Only 3/ 15 tested positive for influenza-A antigen on the nasopharyngeal(NP) swab while the remaining 12 tested positive for the antigen on bronchial washings or tracheal aspirates. Novel-H1N1 PCR was tested in 8/15 patients and 6 were positive.12 patients were mechanically ventilated and 9 patients had more than 1 organ failure. Average LOS was 9.6 days with an observed mortality of 26% (04).CONCLUSIONS: H1N1 can lead to significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. Antigen testing on the NP-swab is insensitive and a lower respiratory-tract specimen should be obtained when feasible.
This is first series to describe the characteristics of ICU patients with H1N1 virus in the US.

Cam-Boh Trail is a 4.9 mile out and back trail located near Tucson, Arizona and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and horses and is best used from September until May. Horses are also able to use this trail.
horseback riding
Easy hike with picnic tables and great views of Panther Peak There are a few ways to start this hike; I prefer starting at the paved parking lot described in the trailhead directions below. This is a relaxing hike that starts in a sandy wash. After about a mile and a half the trail leaves the wash and becomes a typical desert trek. Just make sure to follow the clearly marked metal signs indicating the trail. The next mile into the Cam-Boh picnic area gently climbs to spots with nice views of Panther Peak to the north and the Santa Catalinas to the East. Once at the Cam-Boh picnic area you can escape the desert heat under the ramada. The picnic area has many tables and grills, as well as a restroom. For the return, it's back the way you came.
It should be labeled as an easy hike as it is not difficult at all. However, when you park, make sure you go across the street otherwise you will end up on the wrong train to begin...like we did to start ha

Ok, I jumped a bit on that one. All I can say, if I found that it would be full of buckshot, then .40 and then 9mm until I had nothing left of either.
Oh my, you got me good on that one! I should have read the other posts first.
I am now cleaning the keyboard and monitor screen from blowing iced tea all over them! I was taking a drink when that snake struck, blew out the tea and fell over backwards in my chair. I'm glad no one was home to see that one.
What a mess, my wife is going to kill me when she gets home!
Sixto, I didn't know you were that ornery.
Holy cow Batman, that scared the pea wadding out of me!

God bless our troops!
Cool video. The snake is pretty hard to correctly identify due to the quality of the video. IF you look closely(by pausing the vid and doing frame by frame) you can see the heat sensors on the top jaw of the snake. This would make this snake some type of python. From the look of it, although I can't be sure it'd guess from the heavy build and length, this is either a Burmese(of which there is a morph(green) that does look alot like this), or possibly a Reticulated python(though I don't see any markings that look typical of a Retic).
BTW I jumped too.


text: I experienced this problem soon after upgrading from vista to windows 7. When i leave the computer until it goes into screen saver and then come back a few minutes later, my personalized window color will change into a pale blue color soon after waking the computer from the screen saver. The screen will flash a couple of times and then the change will happen. I am then unable to change the pale blue window color back to my personalized color until i restart or shut of my PC. My background however is still the same. When i attempt to change this ugly pale blue color by clicking on the "Window Color" option in personalization, the "Advanced appearance settings..." window pops up instead. Any suggestions? Thx!

His con- Bust nets 5 pounds of marijuana By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Comal County SherifFs officers seized 5.4 pounds of marijuana Monday night and charged Mr. and Mrs. Hector and Delia Rivera Jr. with possession of five to 50 pounds. About six officers made the arrest at about 11 p.m. in the 1700 block of Cross Street, Sheriffs Department officials said. "The quantity itself is prima-facic evidence of intent to sell," Sheriff Jack Bremer said. The charge filed against the Riveras is a third degree felony and cames a possible two to 20 year sentence, Bremer said. Officers confiscated several weapons, including an SKS assault rifle, other rifles, a pistol and a hunting bow. They also seized electronic entertainment items. Bremer directed the raid. "There were no problems with the arrest." Bremer said. "Nobody got hurt; nobody was in any danger." Officers think the electronic equipment may have been purchased with money from drug sales, lf the district attorney can convince a judge that it was, the confiscated equipment can be auctioned off, Bremer said. "This is not the first time that Mr. and Mrs. Rivera and I have discussed the sale of drugs from their residence," Bremer said. The Sheriff s Department arrested Hector Rivera in March 1992 on similar charges, he said At press time Delia and Hector Rivera Jr. were free on $15,000 bond each. Smithson Valley High School girl killed in car crash By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer A one car accident claimed the life of a Smithson Valley High School junior Tuesday night in Canyon Lake.

The car slid off the road and hit an oak tree with the impact on the right front passenger side. Lyndsay Keith, 17, of 270 Suzi, was a passenger in the car. Keith was transported to Brooke Army Medical Center by Airlike where she was pronounced dead at 3:30 a.m. by Dr. David Cm. e-lada.

Habitat For Humanity works on second local home Register now for Red Cross lifeguard training course The Red Cross is registering for Lifeguarding held at the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge at Lake McQueeney. Students must be 15 years or older. The course includes first aid, CFR and lifeguarding. The course starts today but reservations will be accepted until Saturday. For information call the instructor at (210>379-7773. By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Comal County Habitat for Humanity is raising a new house and new hope for a second New Braunfels family at 1618 West Bridge Street. The house's shape became visible yesterday as volunteers raised the wood frame. The Bridge Street house marks Habitat's collaboration with two new organizations, the City of New Braunfels and Target Stores. The second Habitat home got a big boost from the City of New Braunfels. "The land itself came from the Community Development Block Grant program," Vivan Nuhn of Comal County Habitat said. Habitat applied for a grant out of 1994 CDBG funds, Community Development Director Penelope Church said. "They were allotted up to "9,500 to purchase the lot," Church said. The lot was bought for well under the limit, she said. Remaining funds will go toward drainage projects. "It is one of our most visible public/private partnerships, one of the first," Church said. "We certainly wish this project great success and hope it leads to more such partnerships." Target employees will be up to their elbows in the Bridge Street home from the start to the finish of the project. "Target has a big sign at the site," Nuhn said. "They have put in a $9,000 check for materials they will provide us," she said. Target will also provide a construction supervisor, some local Target subcontractors and I arget employees to help with building, Nuhn said. Target's nationwide "Building a Wonderful Life" program commits to build new homes in each city where it builds a new store, New Braunfels included. The company has already helped build 49 homes across the country. "Target has made a long-term commitment to work with Habitat for Humanity, a program Herald-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Volunteers help erect a wall at the new Habitat For Humanity home. that helps families who are in need of decent, affordable housing," said Gail Dom, director of communications and community relations for Target stores. The house is scheduled to be finished by July 23 to 30. The dates will coincide with the new Target store's grand opening. The Bridge Street House is by no means finished. "We will probably need another $10,000," Nuhn said. Area residents can help in several ways. One is to join the "Carpenter's Club" by pledging $100 or more or $10 a month to Comal County Habitat for Humanity. Church groups and civic organizations can join the club as well as individuals. New Braunfels golfers can enjoy a day of golf at Northcliffe Country Club and donate to Habitat Saturday June IO in the 1995 Comal County Golf Tournament.

Lakes to get herbicide spray to control hydriUa By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Lake Dunlap and Lake McQueeney will undergo treatment in an attempt to control hydrilla growth and clear the lakes for summer activity. Hydrilla is an aquatic plant which grows quickly. When it is not controlled, hydrilla covers the lake, making water access and recreation nearly impossible. "It gets so thick you can't run a boat through it. You can't fish, swim, or ski because it gets too bad. . . It just kind of cuts all activity on the lake, period," said Frankie Uhr, Secretary for Lake Dunlap Property Owners Association. According to Bill West, General Manager of the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority (GBRA), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TP&W) will spray the lakes with endothall (Aquathol K) to control the growth in selected areas. "Aquathol K is approved for aquatic use by the Environmental Protection Agency," said West. "TP&W has used this herbicide at a number of sites in Texas including. . . the successful May, 1994 application at Lake Dunlap which removed approximately 90 percent of the hydrilla in the treated areas." West said certified TP&W staff will be responsible for applying the herbi cide and Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC) regulations, will be followed. Homeowners around Lake Dunlap area are concerned about keeping the hydrilla under control and have helped fund the project. Uhr said the homeowners' association provided nearly $10,000 and GBRA matched the amount. "Most of them are in favor of it. We would rather have the carp but we can't so we have to have the spraying to control it," Uhr said. Uhr said Lake Dunlap and Lake McQueeney will each receive 25 grass carp which eat the hydrilla. The fish will not be available until June and many more would be needed to control the hydrilla. Uhr said the fish they do receive will be a test. She said the fish will be tracked to see if it is possible to keep them in the lakes without them ending up downstream. She said selected areas of heavy growth in the main stream of water will be treated. Uhr also said that if there is still spray available, paths will be sprayed so private dock owners will have access to the main water. The spraying for Lake Dunlap will take place on Monday, May 22 and Tuesday, May 23. Lake McQueeney will be sprayed Wednesday, May 24. According to West, the following restrictions will be in effect immediately after the spraying: May 22-25 - Lakes will be closed to the public. No boating or swimming is allowed; May 22-27 - Do not eat fish caught in the lakes; May 22-June 7 - Do not take water directly from the lakes for drinking or household purposes; May 22-June 7 - Do not use lake water to irrigate yards, crops, or to water livestock. West said bright yellow signs are being posted at public access points in and around the lakes. He also said the lakes will be 6-12 inches lower than normal from May 24 through June 7. He said Lake Dunlap will be lowered as much as 36 inches and Lake McQueeney will be 12 inches lower dunng the actual treatment process. Panetta fires back on behalf of the President. See page 4A. ;

On Edge
Listening to the mans story set my teeth on edge. I tried hard not to clench or grind them together as I listened to his "I'm still loyal to you"s and other sycophantic utterings.
He was a worm, hardly worthy of attention, he had no posture, no Spine, he hunched forward as he spoke, his hands clasped together like a sick praying mantis. His wheedling tone grated on my ears as I did my best not to kill him where he stood, his lack of dignity was insulting. Finally he finished his story and I realized I had better be diplomatic.
"If sethos' palace is so safe," I began, an accusing tone creeping into my voice, "what are you doing here, in the marshes, following us?"
"Sire," he wheezed, I cringed inwardly at the voice. "I came to you to warn you of the traitorous monster that escaped from me all those years ago I came to warn you of him, and ask for your protection from him." He wrung his hands.
"What if I don't grant it?" I shot back, truly irritated.
"You would be signing my death sentence. Sire, I do not think your noble self would be able to."
"I could handle it." I said, unsheathing my sword. "Don't test me." I put the point under his frail chin. "If you think I believe one word you said--"
"Destran." Yara, calm voice of reason, interrupted me. "Give him a chance."
I frowned, but sheathed my sword. "Fine." I said, watching Urysus visibly relax. "He can lead the way through the marshes." I smiled, a small secret smile, as the weasel stiffened and went pale.

TRAVELERS REST – With every scoop of bees Brad Cavin pours gently into a cardboard box, he brings science one step closer to unraveling the riddle of honey bee decline.
At an apiary near the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Cavin gathered samples of honey bees – live ones, dead ones, their unborn brood and the pollen the bees collect – as he has from hives all across the Palmetto State this spring.
The Van Wyck incorporation question is heading for the ballot box, after the Joint Legislative Committee on Municipal Incorporation approved the community's effort during a hearing in Columbia Tuesday.

The recount of Tuesday's 5th District GOP runoff, won by Ralph Norman by less than a percentage point over Tommy Pope, should begin about mid-morning today in each of the congressional district's 11 counties.
"As soon as the state election commission notifies us, we'll get started," said Lancaster County Elections Director Mary Ann Hudson.
Chris Whitmire, S.C. Election Commission spokesman, said Thursday that a mandatory recount will almost surely be necessary after Tuesday's unofficial vote totals are certified this morning.
Rainy weather in the upcoming days has prompted the National Weather Service in Columbia to issue a flash flood watch until Thursday morning for 18 of the state's central counties including Lancaster.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.
Other counties in the watch area include Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Edgefield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, Saluda, and Sumter.
Saying big-business relocations to South Carolina too often hog all the attention, S.C. Secretary of State Mark Hammond came to Lancaster on Wednesday to toast a small business that has adapted and thrived for more than a century.
A late-season wake-up call is saying volumes about the Indian Land High School Lady Warriors' soccer run to a first-ever Class AAA state title match Saturday.
The ILHS girls, in their first season of Class AAA competition, are looking back to a 3-1 road loss to Region IV-AAA foe Camden High School as the key turnaround in their banner campaign.
Since that loss to the Lady Bulldogs, Indian Land has reeled off seven straight wins and allowed only one goal.
LANDRUM – Determined Andrew Jackson used the long ball to return to rival Buford to play for the Class AA Upper State softball championship tonight.
AJ, which fell to Buford, 3-2 to open the double-elimination Class AA Upstate championship series a week ago, has captured two straight elimination game wins, including a 6-3 victory over host Landrum High School on Wednesday, to stay alive in the postseason.
The Kershaw Chamber of Commerce will kick off its annual two-day Spring-A-Thon in downtown Kershaw today, with oodles of family fun on tap.

The affected streets in town will be blocked off at 5 p.m. today, and carnival rides will be set up on Cleveland Street.
IRMO – As they say, practice makes perfect.
Indian Land High School girls soccer coach Mark Bonda said the Lady Warriors' first-ever Class AAA state championship was all bout preparation and execution.
As it turned out, the marathon match – regulation, two 10 overtimes and two five-minute sudden death periods, came down to penalty kicks and the 19-5-1 Lady Warriors converted on all five to give ILHS a 2-1 win over Class AAA Lower State champion Brookland-Cayce High School in W.C. Hawkins Stadium at Irmo High School on Saturday afternoon.
Animal lovers raised $13,000 at The Ivy Place on Sunday in a fundraiser sponsored by the Sun City group Lancaster Animal Shelter Supporters.
More than 250 people attended the event, including county council members Larry Honeycutt, Terry Graham and Billy Mosteller.

A Story
A narrative poem about two kingdoms, their friendship, love and hardships.
Let me tell you a story
Of a battle, which was painful and gory
Once upon a time there were two kingdoms
Where people lived merrily and every fruit ripened plum
No war raged among them,
No entry for each other was banned
Sun shone brightly each day
The wind chirped, as if to say
"That nothing would ever disrupt this peace
That any hatred for one other would cease"
But that was ere the king was chosen
Of the kingdom, in which no sorrow was frozen
He was a person of cold heart
For whom the night would end with rum,
and with rum the day would start
And anything that richened the two kingdom's friendship
Was taken through a series of hardship
Slowly the love among the two kingdoms withered
For people, this cruelty of the king was a lesson to be learned
The king of the other kingdom was tensed
He knew his fellow king was in a heartless trance
That he will go to any extent
To end this thread of kindness
So the king of the other kingdom ordered
"Stop ho! This pleasantry with them,
which now did not mattered"
The cruel king was enraged
With this rudeness of the other king, which he dared
He at once ended all the companionship
With the other kingdom and no word of kindness came upon his lips
An army was at once prepared
And anyone who opposed, was taken cared
And so the war began
Everyone fought, who was a man
There was blood and blood everywhere
And pain? Pain so much, that none could bear
And yet the cruel king kept on raging
It felt as if his mind was in a mad frenzy
And so days went by
Wind whistled over the battlefield as if to cry
"Where OH! That love between people has gone
Why has this friendship been torn?"
Days went by, months flew hurriedly
And where there used to be two beautiful kingdoms, now remained
a barren land, with two foes who were deadly
One day, an old woman came to cruel king's court
Even though her face was wrinkled, she looked like a tough sort
She told him, she had a prophecy to be declared
That beyond the kingdom, in the old forest, lay a dragon's lair
Whoever will possess the treasures of it,
would forever remain the throne's heir
The cruel king's eyes gleamed with lust
He ordered the troops to accompany him, for he must
acquire the wealth, which for him awaits
Surely he was a man with lucky fate
But the old woman shook her head
It was her job to lead,
The royal king into the dragon's nest
The cruel king was skeptic and hushed the old woman
Oh! Who was she, but an old hag
But she was yet not done
And told him that he had one last thing to learn,
That the dragon was mighty and strong
And that journey will be harsh and long
He need to have a heart of a warrior
Or else, he would only be remembered in old wives' songs
Saying this, she took his leave
Leaving his mind in a state of creep
Yet, the cruel king's mind was made
He wanted the treasure, no matter how many lives he had to trade
He took his most trusted soldiers and men
And set onto his journey towards the dragon's den
The kingdom was quiet, not a word was uttered
And the subjects could not do anything but to wait for his return
Months went by, no sign of his being was heard
People were curious but their heart was full of mirth
When a year was gone, and the cruel king did not come
The other kingdom's king sent some
Ministers from his court to choose a new king
So that the kingdom would once again know,
what it felt like to hear the bliss ring
A new king was chosen, who was a man of goodwill
Who restored the friendship and never again was a man killed
No one knew where the cruel king went
But worry not lads, not a single soul did lament
For once again the kingdoms were reunited
And love was chosen from hate 'stead
So now, let me again tell you all a story,
Of the peace between the two kingdoms,
which led them to their highest glory....
So,what do you think? Did cruel king really deserved this fate? Was the ending good enough?
Please do read, review and rate! :)

The Child Nutrition Departments from Marble Falls, Burnet, Llano, and Fredericksburg are joining forces to bring in the number one rated nutritional speaker, Maureen G. Mulvaney, better known as MGM, to train, motivate and excite the districts' cafeteria and nutrition staffs to provide five-star meal services to their students. The MGM training will kick off at 8:30 a.m., Wednesday, August 17th, at the Lakeside Pavilion on Lake Marble Falls.
"I believe this training will lift up our staff, known as the lunch or cafeteria ladies, and remind them how important school breakfast & lunch is to each student's health, welfare & learning potential," said Mary Davidson, Director of Child Nutrition for MFISD. "This will reemphasize their commitment to cooking healthy, nutritious meals. It will assure them of their importance in the life of these children. Our lunch ladies, truly put a lot of love into every meal they cook, prepare & serve!"
Mulvaney, an Amazon best-selling author, will share what she believes is the biggest challenge to achieving improved nutrition for students: Not enough students are eating the delicious and nutritionally sound meals offered at their child's school. MGM is passionate about parents also learning the facts instead of relying on outdated stereo-types of Child Nutrition Services. The Huffington Post Parents page reported: School Breakfast Changes Lives!
Kids Who Eat School Breakfast:
The benefits of eating School Breakfast and Lunch continue into adulthood because High School Grads earn $10,000 more annually and are less likely to experience Hunger as Adults.

23/9/2011 - The Current Market Sentiment
The single currency could rebound versus the greenback following news about recapitalizing 16 mid-sized banks in the debt ailing European countries of which could pass hardly the recent EU banking stress tests in an action targeting the EU struggling backing system after last week ECB'S decision of offering 3 months loans for the European banks in an coordinated action with the Fed, SNB, BOE and BOJ for underpinning the US dollar liquidity into the European banking system for longer time as this has been allowed for just one week by the ECB which can be read as an action of restoring confidence and giving durability of the funds liquidity in this system but in the same time, it can be read easily as a precaution action for saving these banks from what can be worst with having default in Greece as these loans can not be read as a growth stimulating action in this time while cutting interest rate can be the most required suitable action and it can be unavoidable with persisting of the current struggling economic conditions which drove down EU Manufacturing PMI index and services PMI index well below 50 as what we have seen yesterday in the flash reading release of September EU Manufacturing PMI index which has gone lower in the contracting territory to 48.4 while it was expected to be 48.6 from 49 in August and also EU Services PMI flash reading index of September which came down to 49 while it was expected to be above 50 at 51.11 from 51.5 in August.
From another side the single currency could gain with growing ambitious hopes of having new decisions can restore the confidence in the markets from the next G20 meeting during the weekend with the current hopes of having new agreement between Greece and the creditors troika next week after stopping last Tuesday with no ability to come out with a new deal can save Greece from default next month by giving it the next waited 8 billions euros part of its bailing out plan which has been prepared by EU, IMF and ECB.
These new hopes have come to light some of the weights on the single currency which has started this week under pressure following the European Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting which has come with no results to open this week at 1.3689 after closing last week at 1.3795 and after it could fill this gap by the announcement of Fed's meeting results, it came back under pressure again as the triggered dovish sentiment by the Fed's avoiding again injecting new funding in a form of a new QE3 or hinting to it satisfied with turning $400 billions of its holding of less than 3 years treasuries notes to longer term treasuries driving up the average maturity of its 1.6 trillions of treasuries to 100 months driving the 10 years treasuries notes yields down to new historical low yesterday at 1.72%
while the equities markets participants have not seen the required simulating measures in the Fed's plan which looked as a Fed's restructure plan targeting the bonds market more than the stocks which have come under pressure with a real dovish US assessment by the Fed showing growing downside risks facing the US economy from the financial markets with the current weak labor US market and the pressure on the housing market which lead it to reinvest its holding of $885 Billion in the mortgages back securities again with no cut.
That's beside the hits which have dragged the equities markets down by the worries EU countries credit rating which have increased by S&P downgrading of Italy's short term and long term debt from A+/A-1+ to A/A-1 and also the doubts about the US banking system creditability which have grown by Moody's downgrading of BoA, Citi Group and Wells Fegro last Wednesday which has been backed to the current lower ability of the US Government to support them in the case of having harder financial situation amid the debt crisis in the Euro area and the current slower US growth pace expectations which dampened the commodities and energy prices and the stocks which are depending of them
That's beside the political situation in US which forms another risk as what has been seen of hardness in reaching a political agreement for hiking the US debt ceiling for avoiding bankruptcy last month which shows that having an agreement for financing such big banks or bailing out one of them can face monetary and financial difficulties.
God willing, after EURUSD had broken this week its recent supporting levels at 1.3702, 1.3635, 1.3554, 1.3494 and 1.3424, it can face again supporting level at 1.3384 whereas it could rebound this week and in the case of breaking it, it can face another supporting level at 1.3243 and breaking it can lead to 1.3088 before the psychological level at 1.3 and 1.2873 which has been recorded low of this year on the 10th of last January while the way of ascending can face resisting levels at 1.36, 1.3693, 1.3795 which could not be broken this week too in a dovish price action sign and in the case of breaking it, the pair can meet another resistance at 1.3843 before 1.3935 which has been reached following the ECB's decision to offer US dollars loans for 3 months to the European banks.

Hey People,
I was doing a brake swap for my 1986 Grand National and purchased some 04' GTO brakes thinking they would fit. However they wont. Even though it's a LS1 car there different from the Camaro/Firebirds. (Not to mention bolt pattern is slightly different.) I'll post up pics Thursday. There a little rough looking but I have a guy that will powder coat them for some extra $$$. For the record this is my first post and hope you guys can use these.

By Kelly Whiteside, USA TODAY
NEWPORT, R.I. At the end of the Big East's summer kickoff Tuesday, a blue curtain, the size of a goal post, came crashing down just as Commissioner John Marinatto was finishing an interview with two news reporters.
As those nearby lunged to keep the contraption from falling, one wag cracked, "Was Jim Delany behind this?" a reference to the Big Ten commissioner.
After a summer of much speculation about conference expansion, the Big East is still standing. No "Curtains for you!" after all.
In his opening remarks, Marinatto said he asked his coaches to refrain from commenting on whether any schools would be coming or going anytime soon. "The Big East is stronger today than in any point in our history," Marinatto said as the league enters its 20th football season.
CAMPUS RIVALRY: The latest college sports news and buzz
MEDIA POLL: Pittsburgh picked as Big East favorite
At media day at the historic Hotel Viking, Marinatto hoped all the talk of pillaging and plundering would be put on pause as he rattled off the league's accomplishments. (The past four years, the Big East has won 72.2% of its non-league games, trailing only the Southeastern Conference. League teams have also won 73% of their bowl games.)
This could be one of the more competitive seasons in league play. "The conference is truly up for grabs," says Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt, whose Panthers were picked to win the league in the preseason media poll. He says five of the Big East's eight teams could contend for the league title, given all the inexperience at quarterback. Only three starting QBs are back.
"It's a little odd," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano says. The Scarlet Knights have the league's most veteran QB, sophomore Tom Savage, with 11 career starts.
"Having an experienced quarterback takes one big burden off your program," Schiano says.
New coaches on the block
The challenge ahead for the Big East's three new head coaches is as varied as their preseason expectations.
At South Florida, charismatic Skip Holtz hopes to heal a program after its architect, Jim Leavitt, was fired for allegedly striking a player. At Louisville, former Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong hopes to restore a program that went from the top of the league to the bottom in just three seasons under Steve Kragthorpe. At Cincinnati, Butch Jones hopes to keep the Bearcats at the top after Brian Kelly, who won consecutive Big East titles, bolted for Notre Dame.
Practice begins Wednesday for the Bulls, projected to finish sixth, with plenty of team-building activities planned when the team heads to Vero Beach, Fla., to train. "They've been through a lot of adversity," Holtz says. "There needed to be some healing when we first got there. We tried to keep it loose."
South Florida quarterback B.J. Daniels says he's heard a scary rumor that there would be no cellphones, computers or TVs at camp. "Completely isolated from the world," Daniels says. Even though Daniels experiences withdrawal symptoms when his phone battery dies and he doesn't have his charger, he's embracing it. "It will be a fun experience," he says.
Strong was part of two national titles at Florida and is accustomed to beginning each season with national title expectations. At Louisville, he starts the season ranked last in the league. "I've been picked first a lot. I've never been picked last," Strong says with a laugh. "It just shows us we have a lot of work ahead of us. You can take that and use it as a motivating factor."
"Some of these guys were here four years ago when they went to the Orange Bowl then all of a sudden to drop. It happened so fast," says Strong, who hopes to restore the team's belief in itself.
At Cincinnati, the Bearcats hope history repeats itself. Kelly came following a successful stint at Central Michigan, and Jones follows after consecutive Mid-American Conference titles at the same school. The Bearcats are picked second, tied with West Virginia. "A lot of it is how we handle adversity. The last couple of years we haven't had a lot of adversity," Jones says.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - March 16, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Sports NCAA Action Begins Today Page 7 A A Quick Read Runyan Claims Iditarod Victory NOME, Alaska (AP) — Musher Susan Butcher was about 70 miles from the finish line in the 1,168-mile contest when she knew she wouldn't catch Joe Runyan, who broke her three-year winning streak in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. "I'm not disappointed,'' said Butcher. "Everybody says it's hard to fall from the top. But I've had a lot of good races. I thought it would hurt, but it didn't hurt at all. So I don't feel bad." Butcher, 33, of Manley, finished second Wednesday, arriving in Nome with nine dogs about an hour behind Runyan, 40, of Nenana, and his team of 12. Runyan crossed the finish line in the 17th annual race after ll days and 5Ms hours on the Iditarod Trail between Anchorage and Nome, about three hours short of Butcher's 1987 record time. Forty-nine mushers left Anchorage on March 4 with up to 18 dogs each. The race was inspired by a sled-dog relay of serum to Nome during a 1925 diphtheria outbreak. Butcher was followed by Rick Swenson, who holds a record four Iditarod victories achieved over six years. Fourth-place musher Dee Dee Jon-rowe finished the 22-mile stretch of trail between Safety and Nome at 10:47 p.m. Wednesday, with 36 other teams strung along the route as far back as Kaltag, 357 miles from the finish.

Flying upside down 180 miles high, the five-man crew captured thousands of views of Earth with television, movie and still cameras. Some of the film will be edited into a study of ecological trouble spots. The president and the crew talked briefly in a combined television-tele-phone hookup that let Bush see the astro nauts in their space cabin from the White House. Bush congratulated them on their flight — which nearly had to be cut short one day because of an electrical-system problem — and said, "I am determined to go forward with an active space program." When Discovery commander Michael L. Coats revealed that the crew was "flying something for the new first lady" it prompted a presidential invitation. "You better come up here and give it to her personally," said Bush. "You're invited. When you get back head this way.'' Asked about a camera used to photograph environmental targets, pilot John E. Blaha said the crew was "getting a lot of great film that will show a lot of people around the world how fragile the planet Earth is in this big vastness of space." Discovery's crew started the day by pre-empting the usual wake-up call from Mission Control with tape recordings of their own. They ended their eight-hour sleep by radioing to Earth the theme music from "Star Trek." Then, the recorded voice of William Shatner, who played Capt. Kirk in "Star Trek," sent congratulations to Mission Control. "Discovery," responded a Mission Control communicator, "tell Scotty to beam me up."

Bush, who took office barely two nonths ago, has continued the former teagan administration's policies that he lelped develop as vice president, U.S. of-icidls said "In terms of our policy, there has been 10 change, and I don't foresee one," said i State Department Mideast expert who ■efused to be identified by name. He •ailed the policy the only one that might vork. Since the Reagan administration was smbarrassed in November 1986 by reve-ations it had sold weapons to Iran, the J.S. policy has been, "No concessions, jut we're willing to talk to anyone," anither official said. But Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D-N.Y., a nember of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he would not accept 'the explanation that nothing can be lone." Moynihan was to introduce a reso-ution today in the Senate condemning lostage-taking.

The survivors have shorter, harsher lives. They have twice the trouble getting jobs, are three times more likely to be poor and will endure more crime and divorces. In an America that is far from colorblind, the quality of life for blacks is getting worse in some areas from cradle to grave, according to recent studies detailing gaps between blacks and whites. "There are still deep inequalities between the races," said Billy Tidwell, director of research for the National Urban League in Washington. "The nation cannot allow such a significant part of its (See INEQUALITIES, Page 12A) 'Something must be done, the executive branch must seek to use every avenue, formal and informal, to win the hostages freedom.' — Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan tages freedom," Moynihan said in a statement released Wednesday by his office. On Capitol Hill, several groups planned to hold a ceremony for Anderson, 41, a correspondent for The Associated Press. Sponsors include No Greater Love, a humanitarian organization, and the Journalists Committee to Free Terry Anderson. Anderson's sister, Peggy Say of Cadiz, Ky., a leader in the drive to win her brother's freedom, was attending the ceremony. She has been critical of U.S. government efforts on behalf of the hostages. "You want to hope they are working on it, but let's face it, four years speaks for itself," she said. Say said she does not think the Bush administration has made any new drives to free the hostages. "Basically, things are just status quo."Life Expectancy Life expectancy at birth in years She listed specific initiatives the United States could pursue, including payments . to the families of Iranians killed last July when the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian jetliner in the Persian Gulf. The State Department said it is working on a payment plan. "You begin to wonder what it takes to move people," Mrs. Say said. "They have heard and read how hostages have died, how they have gone mad, how they exist from day-to-day in the most barbaric conditions and the world does not respond." Officials say different factions hold the nine American hostages who have been seized in Lebanon, but they are elements of the umbrella group, Hezbollah, over which Iran exhibits control. The United States has called for the unconditional release of all hostages before it will talk with Iran. The families' frustration follows a brief sense of optimism that followed Bush's Jan. 20 inaugural address in which he repeated his opposition to any deals, but seemed to send a signal to the captors. "There are today Americans who are held against their will in foreign lands and Americans who are unaccounted for," Bush said. "Assistance can be show here, and will be long remembered. Good will begets good will." with a trouble-free electrical power supply system. On Wednesday, they followed special operating instructions from Mission Control to correct an erratic flow from a hydrogen tank that supplies reactant to chemical power generators on the shuttle. Flow from the tank became troublesome shortly after Discovery was launched Monday and Mission Control feared that fuel from the tank would not be available for use. Engineers asked the astronauts to dim lights and turn off computers, and said the five-day mission could be cut short a day if the problem wasn't corrected. Watkins: Cleanup Cost High From Staff And Wire Reports WASHINGTON — Energy Secretory James D. Watkins told Congress Wednesday that he doubted it would cost as much to clean up pollution at the nation's nuclear weapons plants as the official estimates of between $65 billion and $100 billion. "I believe we can do this for a lot less," Watkins told a Senate budget subcommittee W y that is examining the J* ♦ Energy Department's \ 40 plans for modernizing ^ and correcting environmental problems at 16 major weapons plants in 12 states. Watkins, in his first congressional testimo- WATKINS ny since being sworn in last week, said projections on the cleanup costs included "a lot of gold watches" or frills that the government could not afford at a time of tight budget limits. "I don't believe we need to buy all those gold watches," Watkins said in reference to his efforts to develop a comprehensive plan that would accomplish the cleanup at the least possible cost, in part by letting some less harmful contaminants remain at the sites until sometime in the next century. Shortly before Watkins took over, the department had officially estimated it would cost $81 billion to clean up and modernize the weapons complex over the next 21 years, and some department officials said recently that this figure may be too low. The General Accounting Office, the auditing agency of the Congress, has put the price tog at over $100 billion. Watkins said one of his immediate priorities was to re-establish the credibility of the Energy Department, which has been strongly criticized by members of Congress and government auditors for poor management of the weapons complex and lax oversight of safety procedures.

Carroll Campbell and Democratic House Speaker Robert Sheheen agree that there was a clear winner in the debate over how to return excess revenue to the people. Campbell and Sheheen were both posed the question of which party came out ahead in a compromise tax cut plan adopted by the House after eight hours of negotiation Wednesday. They had the same answer: "The taxpayers won." "This is a fine hour," Campbell said as he stood next to Sheheen at a State House news conference. The House, choosing parts of three competing plans, endorsed income tax cuts, property tax cuts for the elderly and capital gains tax reductions, while agreeing to allocate some money for local water and sewer projects. Without the agreement, "We would have had a bitter floor fight that would have lasted several days," House Speaker Pro-Tern Jack Rogers, D-Bennetts-ville, said. The negotiations began with a morning meeting between Campbell and Sheheen and continued throughout the day. Leaders of both parties and advocates of various tax cut proposals conducted a form of shuttle diplomacy between the House chamber and the governor's office a floor below in the State House. The unanimous vote to adopt the compromise tax cut plan came as House members were debating the final few provisions in a state budget, which includes about $160 million more for education and health care and excluded pay raises for legislators, the governor, and other officials elected statewide. The House gave key preliminary approval to the 1989-90 appropriations act Wednesday night and was expected to give routine final approval today. ;
