Instructions and requests are about more than just grammar. When you make an instruction or a request, you want someone to do something for you. If you get this important social interaction wrong, you might offend your boss, your friends, or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Some requests show that the person you are speaking to can choose to do as you want. Other ways of speaking indicate that if the request is not followed there will be trouble. But unfortunately, you can't decide to be safe and use only very polite requests. This is because English people sometimes use very polite requests as a way of being sarcastic, which is very rude and offensive. So, to learn how not to make these mistakes, you will read the text below; and you will do it now! Hurry up!
Here, we are going to look at
o The difference between requests and instructions
o The grammar and use of requests and instructions
o Register of requests and instructions
o What to say in response to a request or instruction.
The difference between requests and instructions.
Instructions (also called imperatives).
Grammar. Instructions require the person receiving them to do something, or to stop doing it. Instructions are directly adressed to the person who has to do it. Therefore, instructions are one of the few types of English sentences that do not need a subject. The subject is usually "you" (understood). If there is any doubt who should do the instruction, the "naming" form - the vocative is used.
For example:
"Everyone, be quiet! Fred, (you) say that again."
(Notice that the first instruction is general, and the second instruction is just for Fred.).
Instructions are gramatically the same as orders. However, their use is very different.
Use. Orders do not give the person who receives them any choice - they should be obeyed. As a result, most people do not like receiving orders, and they may ask if the person giving them has any right to do this. If it is not obvious that they do, there may be a confrontation, or the person giving the orders will get a repuation for being "bossy". (This is not a good thing). Therefore orders are usually given to children by their parents, pets by their owners, and by soldiers to soldiers who are less important.
For example:of Giving instruction
"William, stop crying, now!"
"Fido, come here, boy."
"Sergeant, attack that hill."
Everyone else usually uses the grammar of requests. However, English people do not mind (and usually obey) written instructions, since these are not orders, and can be quire useful. (You will see instructions on how to do each grammar exercise, for example.) You often see these in writing. Interestingly, many advertisements are instructions.
For example:of Giving Instruction
"Lose 10kg in 2 weeks!!!." "Insert part A in slot B"
When you buy something, you often get a booklet of instructions on how to use it. This is called a manual.
Imperatives are not usual in spoken English, except with people who know eachother well enough not to be very polite. When an imperative is used with an identifying vocative (a naming word), the vocative comes first or last in the sentence.
For example:of Giving instruction
"Put the books over there, Sally.."
Or a policeman might say something like:
"Step out of your car, Sir."
Grammar. Requests are often questions, though indirect requests may not be. Sometimes an instruction is changed into a request by the addition of "please" or a question tag. To make a request more polite we might use the subjunctive form of the verb. Very often English requests are indirect. Instead of asking someone to do something, the speaker asks if the person is able to do it. Therefore modals of ability ("can", "may" etc) are very often used.
For example:
"Come here, please." (order modified with "please".)
"Pass the salt, would you?" (order modified with question tag)
"Can I take this seat?" (indirect request with modal of ability)
"Could I take this seat?" ( polite indirect request with modal of ability in the subjunctive)
The subjunctive modal sounds complicated, but for the moment, just remember that "Could" is more polite than "Can", and "Might" is more polite than "May". "May/might" is slightly more polite than "can/could", but generally you can use either one.
Use. Requests and instructions are very complicated in use, because it is important not to offend people by giving orders. (This is also why many insults are given as orders.) To avoid offence, orders are often given as requests, even if the person receiving them must do as he is told. On the other hand suggestions, or encouragement from friends are often given as orders. Indirect requests are often questions related to what the speaker wants, but which do not directly ask for something. Just to make it all more complicated, sometimes even suggestions are really strong orders, and some polite instructions are given as ordinary statements.
For example:
"Could you call Mr Biggs for me, Margaret?" (order as request.)
"Would you like to open your suitcase, Madam?"(order as suggestion.)
"Have fun!."(encouragement as order)
"Go on! Have some more cake."(suggestion as order)
"Go to hell!"(insult as order)
"Why don't you go to hell?"(insult as strong suggestion)
"Some more coffee would be nice."(request as statement)
"Have you got any change?"(indirect request for money by beggars as related question)
"You might consider doing it this way ... "(instruction as statement)
"Please" is often used to change an order into a request. It does this by suggesting that the person receiving it can choose whether or not to do it. ("Please" is a short way of saying "if it pleases you".) As with vocatives "please" comes at the beginning or the end of the request. Generally, if there is a vocative and "please" in a sentence, they go at different ends. (You can choose which.) If they are at the same end, the vocative comes first at the beginning, or last at the end.
For example:
"Samantha, please come here."
"Samantha, come here please."
"Come here please, Samantha."
"Please come here Samantha.
are all different ways of saying the same thing. If it is a boss speaking to his secretary, this would be an instruction. If it is a boy talking to his girlfriend, it is a request.
Other modifiers
As a rule, the more strongly we suggest that we expect the person receiving a request to do it, the less polite the request is. The more modifiers we put in, and the more remote we make the possibility seem, the more polite it becomes. If it becomes too polite, it is sarcastic, which is not polite at all.
For example:of request
"Lend me ten pounds until Friday, will you?" (informal, not polite)
"Lend me ten pounds until Friday, would you?"
"Do you think you could lend me ten pounds until Friday?"
"Do you think you could possibly lend me ten pounds until Friday?"
"I don't suppose that you could possibly lend me ten pounds until Friday?"
"I don't suppose that you could possibly lend me ten pounds until Friday, by any chance?"
"I don't suppose that you could possibly lend me ten pounds until Friday, by any chance, could you, please?" (very, very, humble)

Fatal UPS Semi Truck Accident in Chicago South Loop
CHICAGO, IL – One man was killed and at least four others injured Thursday morning, April 1, 2010 at about 2:38 a.m. when a UPS semi truck collided with a passenger car in the South Loop of Chicago, Illinois. The accident occurred at the intersection of West Roosevelt Road and South Canal Street.
The accident happened when an 18-wheeler operated by United Parcel Service was traveling eastbound on West Roosevelt Road attempting to make a left turn at Canal Street. An oncoming 2005 Ford Taurus was traveling westbound on Roosevelt Road at a high rate of speed when it struck the big rig while it was making the left turn. The Ford Taurus struck a fire hydrant from the force of the collision and then caught fire.
A passenger in the Ford Taurus, 25 year old Rafael Lopez, was killed in the accident. He was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County and pronounced dead at 3:35 a.m. His death was ruled an accident. The medical examiner's office said that an autopsy performed on Thursday revealed that Lopez died of multiple injuries from an automobile striking a truck.
According to police, the Chicago Fire Department was called to extricate some of the victims. According to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Quention Curtis, two people who were in serious to critical condition were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and three others in fair condition were taken to University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago, Rush University Medical Center and John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County.
Below is a Google Street View of the intersection at West Roosevelt Road and South Canal Street. You can click the mouse and drag it around to get a full 360° view of the scene of the accident.
Although it was not known immediately which driver was at fault, police said that the driver of the Ford Taurus was taken into custody from the scene. As of Friday at 3:00 p.m., he had not been charged.
The police Major Accident Investigation Unit was requested to the scene to investigate the crash.
As of about 4:40 a.m. Thursday morning, Roosevelt Road remained closed but it was not known immediately how far in each direction. Traffic in the area was reopened at about 5:40 a.m.

It was sooooo predictable but still the tiniest bit upsetting, tbh, that everyone would freak about the new global fashion envoys because as soon as everyone sees the effect on the trade figures I know they will feel so blessed to have Dave and the boys working their socks off for luxury classics. But it's quite boring being in the middle with Tamara going nuts about their hideous suits and shoes in China and saying she feels so let down because they are literally the ugliest people she has ever met, she knows cats who would be better fashion ambassadors, and do I realise that Michael Gove alone has probably set her brand back by around 15 years which is how long it took to make Jimmy Choos look edgy and sexy instead of just insanely vulgar and expensive. Well that is quite unkind because no one could have worked harder on his image than Govey before his China trip, look at his hair, simple but chic, and even Vince agreed to get his brows done.
So once she'd calmed down I said Tamara you have to remember they are totally new to leather goods and just doing their best and it's so unfair to rake up all their old publicity photographs – how were they to know they would end up working for Jimmy Choo? And I went frankly, I do not think a person who has customised Uggs is in a position to criticise anyone, so she hung up. Then Anya arrived in the cabinet room and Cleggsy got the coffee, hardly a murmur, and she says it is brilliant that politics is having a moment, even if the whole thing is a bit vacuous from a handbag point of view, and Tamara should be thrilled that Britain's most creative industry has its hub at No 10.
Then Dave texted to say Anya's leopard-print Carker is a Chinese must-have and how are we off for stock because Govey has just shifted 3,000 and Isabel checked the basement, and we were like OMFG because the workfare thingy doesn't start for ages and there are literally three left! But Anya, who is a genius, said relax, what else are civil servants for?

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Dear leslie,
Thank you for your question. I need just a bit more information. A person not calling may not idicate that he is not into you, but it depends on how that is occuring.
When he does not call, how long is the interval?
What kind of job does he have? What position does he hold in the company?
Is he also still in college?
Usually when he does not call, it will be a few days in between when he says he is going to call and when he calls. He'll usually say sorry and offer a reason he didn't call, but sometimes I feel like he is just offering an excuse so I'm not angry.
He runs his own business and he does have limited time when he can call. He is not in college. Things were actually going really well until recently when he got rid of his cell phone. It was then that communicating with him became really difficult.
I want to be understanding of his space and his schedule, but a lot of my friends have told me that I'm making excuses for him and I need to move on if he doesn't call when he says he will. I'm not sure what to think or do.
Thanks so much for your help!
Thank you for the additional information, and thanks for your patience.
Here are some general observations and comments, followed by a recommended course of action.
Generally in relationships, communication should not be broken for longer than three days. There aught to be some form of communications at minimum, every three days. Emails, phone calls, a card, something.
It could be that he is simply ignorant of how to maintain a relationship. Being 12 hours apart is difficult. Proximity makes communications easier, but not impossible.
People in relationships generally have different levels of need and maturity. So it could be your need for contact and communications is stronger than his. Using myself as an example. My girlfriend is an attorney, and her need for constant communication and contact is intermittent. Sometimes I get called every day and she wants to know where I am; but at other times, she is content with nearly a week of silence. I am liking a daily contact or at least every other day, or I start feeling insecure about the relationship and start questioning her investment in me and us as a couple. I am always reminded along the way, that my worst fears are for naught...that she is very busy with running a business, and networking for the business, that she sometimes feels so exhausted, that she does not want to talk on the phone.
I do not believe, like your friends; I do not believe you should move on at this time unless you do not have feelings for this guy.
I sounds like you are at as stage in the relationship where you and he need to talk about expectations and where you are each at in relation to each other individually or as a couple.
It sounds like you need some sort of clarification and validation for his intentions going forward, as well as a set of expected behaviors and rules.
For example:
So you need to have those kinds of conversations with him to find out where you are at before deciding to move on.
If he says he wants to just remain friends, then you have a decision to make if you want to continue in that vain or not.
By all means, do not make excuses for him; hold on to your principles, and do not explain away his behavior. Ask him to explain it to you. Let him excuse it for himself.
I know you have said that on the phone he talks like he wants you to be together without prompts from you. but sitting together over dinner, face to face is a different matter.
It sounds to me like, in the end, that he is having trouble sustaining the relationship long distance and still maintaining his business. it is hard to juggle both. It may be that he just does not know how.
In this situation it helps to clear the air and get affirmation for where you are at and where you are going in the relationship; and to set up expectations and rules that will help guide you.

Mayhem # 1315607
About MeThe name Brandon out of Milwaukee, WI. I am an newly aspiring male model looking to expand my range and get my feet a little more wet with this modeling business. After years of people trying to convince me to give the whole modeling thing a try, I finally gave in and set up my first professional photo shoot with a local photographer by the name of Rick Porter. After that experience and the surprising positive response I received, I'm more focused now and trying to really pursue a modeling career. I have a few upcoming photo shoot in the works and look forward to expanding my portfolio. By joining Model Mayhem, I look to network with more experienced individuals and gain some more perspective and also gain more knowledge about this profession. Hoping to really expand my horizons as much as possible. I feel that I have a lot of untapped potential in me and that I can bring something new to the table if given the right opportunity.

Cyprus is announcing new steps, known as capital controls, to prevent a massive run on the nation's banks when they reopen Thursday.
The controls are also aimed at stopping depositors from pulling their money out of troubled Cyprus and taking it elsewhere in the eurozone. But such free movement of capital is the entire point of a unified currency. This is why experts like Guntram Wolff, deputy director of the Brussels-based Bruegel think tank, worry that Cyprus's imposition of capital controls, or restrictions on the flow of money, might mark the beginning of the end of the currency bloc.
"The eurozone has now embarked on a process that endangers both the currency area and the single market," Wolff wrote in a Financial Times editorial Monday.
Analysts at Nomura explained the problem in a recent research note: "A common currency, by definition, means that a euro in country A is equivalent to a euro in country B," they wrote. "It seems fairly clear to say that a euro held in a bank in Cyprus is no longer worth exactly the same as a euro held in a German bank."
That's a big deal. But it doesn't have to end the unified-currency experiment.
In some ways, the decision to impose capital controls rather than let the markets sort things out in Cyprus reflects a decades-long intellectual shift. In the wake of World War II, capital controls were widely accepted as useful by economists. Then, in the let-markets-be-markets Alan Greenspan era, they fell out of vogue and became less common, more taboo. But in 2012, the International Monetary Fund endorsed them.
Cyprus's controls come on the heels of two whirlwind weeks of negotiations, protests and nail-biting approaches to the brink of bankruptcy. Over the weekend, finance ministers in the European Union agreed to a €10 billion rescue package for Cyprus, with tough terms: The banking sector is going to be downsized and restructured, and depositors with over €100,000 in their accounts are expected to take a sizeable hit. The controls are the latest in the series of steps the country, whose financial sector had grown to more than eight times the size of its gross domestic product, is going to take in order to save itself from collapse.
There's good reason to believe that they will work without also contributing to the downfall of the eurozone.
A major concern is just how long the controls will be in place. The Eurogroup said they must be "temporary, proportionate, and nondiscriminatory." But economists say it will take time to reassure depositors their money is safe in Cyprus, necessitating a lengthier period of controls. And since Cypriot euros are, in effect, worth less while they're in place, the longer they're kept up, the less of a part of the eurozone Cyprus seems.
Worriers point to Iceland, which adopted capital controls on a temporary basis in 2008 when its banking sector was on the verge of collapse. Now, in 2013, they're still in place.
But Cyprus and Iceland are very different cases. The solvent banks in Cyprus are backed by the European Central Bank, which has said it will stand behind them, giving them credibility. And even if ECB pumps a lot of cash into the Cypriot banking system, it's not likely to cause runaway inflation throughout the eurozone. "Neither is true in the case Iceland," said Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, because Iceland has its own central bank.
"The threshold for lifting the capital controls in a place like Iceland is much, much higher than I think it will be in Cyprus," Kirkegaard said.
Timing is one issue, but perhaps the biggest concern is that these controls could set a precedent for the eurozone. Worried investors in other troubled European nations might scramble to pull out their money at the first sign of trouble, hoping to get ahead of expected capital controls. In turn, that could create a capital-flight situation that, ironically, would lead to needing capital controls. It can become a self-fulfilling prophesy--one that was not helped by Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who heads the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers and made headlines this week when he suggested Cyprus could be a blueprint for bailouts.
Cyprus is unique. Countries like Malta and Luxembourg, to which it is most frequently compared as fellow small eurozone nations with large banking sectors, are different. (For what it's worth, they also balk at the comparison.) Part of the reason Cyprus needs capital controls is that an initial bailout deal was badly botched, raising concerns that all Cypriot depositors could lose money and stretching the final deal over days as citizens fretted over the state of the banking system, and part of the reason capital controls are necessary.
There is a precedent being set, and it's that the euro area may, going forward, put the onus of paying for bank failures on investors rather than taxpayers. That does not necessarily mean widespread capital controls will become necessary when a bank failure seems imminent.
Finally, European policymakers have again and again shown they are willing to do what it takes to keep the currency union together.
"If there was a bank run in other euro-area countries because of the circumstances that we have talked about, then that will be the gun to the heads of policymakers to agree on" a single resolution mechanism, Kirkegaard said of the controls. "I have no doubt in that situation they will do so because the preservation of the euro area ultimately trumps any other political concern."
The eurozone doesn't yet have a single authority responsible for unwinding troubled banks the way the United States does, for example. Negotiations over how best to achieve this are expected to be contentious. The Cyprus crisis underscores why the discussions are so important.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The cyst in my spinal cord (syrnix) found by a neurosurgeon consulted from an abnormal MRI b/c of back pain that I thought it was muscle spasms. Neurosurgeon said at this point (2004) there was nothing to do, but wait. So every 6 months to a year, had MRIs and exams by neurosurgeon. Still had back pain and it never got better even with pain meds. Dr said it wasn't related to syrnix. Obtained my medical records and MRIs from 2004-present and Dr stated in notes that syrnix could be source of my pain, but kept telling me it was unrelated. In 2007, he sent me to pain mgt.(found 2 torn discs)--2008 exam, found partial paralysis in right leg. Had immediate surgery to have shunt placed to drain cyst. Had constant pain in R leg since. That Dr is now dismissive & sees no importance to my concerns
If the medical error is alleged to have occurred back in 2004, I believe the Alabama statute of limitations will bar any legal claim. I'm not licensed in Alabama but most states have either a 1, 2, or 3 year statute limitations. This means that a lawsuit must be on file within that period or the legal claims are forever waived. Use avvo or google to find an Alabama lawyer to double check the statute of limitations in your state.Ask a similar question
If the doctor neglected to monitor a condition and then up until recently (a year or 2) was when I realized there was permanent nerve damage, do you still think that is still related to the original condition he began treating me for in 2004? See, I didn't realize that the issue was of permanent nature until the last few years. I was just wondering because of how dismissive he behaved after I stated there was a problem and the fact that his notes in my medical records contradict each other and what he told me all along. Thanks.
I believe the statute of limitations is 2 years in Alabama, so it would be too late to sue the doctor.

Rachel Aziani brings out her giant boobs while posing suggestively at the counter. With every angle of her hips and especially when she squats down, her skirt rises higher until her smooth shaven pussy is revealed without any panties.
Talk about setting the mood. The always sultry Rachel Aziani is absolutely smoldering in this photo set from her official website. In a secluded alcove adorned with deep earthtone frescos, Rachel conducts scintillating striptease to add her priceless busty body to the rich decor.
It may be a bit early to start thinking about big pumpkins, but with the sultry and busty Rachel Aziani looking ever so fine in a bright orange dress, well … we just had to go there. This vivacious desert‑dwelling MILF teases her eye‑popping cleavage inside the unseasonably autumn garb before bringing out her own big bronze orbs.
By now, we've all seen that the amazing Rachel Aziani isn't afraid to flash her magnificent 36DD boobs whereever and whenever she can. Both those in the know … know that she's just as open about showing between her legs too.
No matter how cool Rachel Aziani is (and trust us, she's way cool), the western US sun can get awfully hot. Keeping anything on for too long can get quite uncomfortable – especially for this DD seductress. Even the soft evening breezes on the patio cannot provide enough relief. So .. what's a girl to do? Those clothes just have to come off.
Can you put a dollar value on pure, unbridled sex appeal? In the case of buxom Arizona desert-dweller Rachel Aziani, we don't think so. Her stacked 34DD-24-34 bod is packed into a very skimpy metallic gold print bikini in this exclusive photo set from her official website – and the way is accentuates her lusty curves is a treasure beyond measure.
You can practically feel the heat of the day radiating off of Rachel Aziani's even hotter body. You run the risk of her melting your screen and your heart as she shows that her body is worship worthy. Her enormous breasts are tightly stuffed into a tiny white tie-front top baring her sexy midsection. Rachel suggestively tugs at her denim shorts and unleashes that incredible rack of hers.

This is a list of rapid transit systems around the world. Such systems are commonly called metros, subways, elevated railways, rapid rail, or underground railways. The list is ordered by continent, country and city, and the systems are listed along with their opening year, system length and number of stations.
There is no single and unambiguous definition of a rapid transit system, but the term often refers to systems that are called metro, subway or underground.[1] Whereas the words subway and underground indicate that the system is sub-surface, the terms metro and rapid transit typically also include systems that are elevated or at surface level. A popular definition of metro is urban, electric passenger transportation system with high capacity and high frequency of service, which is totally independent from other traffic, road or pedestrians.[2][3] The terms heavy rail (mainly in North America) and heavy urban rail have similar definitions.[4][5]
The dividing line between rapid transit and other modes of public transport, such as light rail and commuter rail, is not always clear. A common way to distinguish rapid transit systems from light rail is by their separation from other traffic. While light rail systems may share roads or have level crossings, a rapid transit system runs on a grade-separated exclusive right-of-way, with no access for pedestrians and other traffic. And in contrast to commuter rail, rapid transit systems are primarily used for transport within a city, and have higher service frequency, typically not more than 10 minutes between trains during normal daytime service. Furthermore, rapid transit systems do not share tracks with freight trains or inter-city rail services. It is however not relevant whether the system runs on steel wheels or rubber tyres, or if the power supply is from a third rail or overhead lines.
The name of the system is not a criterion for inclusion. Some cities use rapid transit or metro as a brand name for a transit line with no component of rapid transit whatsoever. Similarly, there are systems branded light rail that meet every criteria for being a rapid transit system. Some systems also incorporate light metro or light rail lines as part of the larger system under a common name. These are listed, but the light rail lines are not counted for in the provided network data. Certain transit networks match the technical level and service standards of rapid transit, but reach far out of the city and are commonly known or better described as regional or commuter rail. These are not included. Neither are monorail and funicular systems, nor people movers, such as amusement park, ski resort and airport transportation systems.

So I noticed that my Skipper is a climber. She loves to jump and climb all over the couch. I've been throwing around the idea of constructing a "bunny" tree. I've already started a few mock drawings. Any way, what do you guys think? And should I upholster it with carpet like a regular cat tree? If I don't what do you think would be a good to put down, or should I just leave it with the natural wood?
Here are the cat trees I'm using for inspiration:
@tanlover That's why I want to build one. Cat trees are just too expensive. And they can be cheaply made. =p =]

This last week I've had a steady diet of David Foster Wallace's essays, which was brought on by buying his essay books on a complete whim while at Barnes and Noble last week. I just saw them there, realized I'd never read them and decided to pick them up. His concepts of sincerity is interesting, his idea that irony (which was the big thing at the time, for all those generation X'ers that his early work was riding a long side of, those gen X'ers who loved their irony and all things ironic, yet I was too young to ever be one, even though I came to my early teens thinking (like all early teens do of early twenty somethings) that they were awesome and rebellious) was a wall, was a big wall between the reader and the work. It was hard in his eyes to affect something inside the reader when they were looking at everything ironically, it was hard to see what was there, what was going on, when everything was behind a wall of distances.
One article I read first and had me most thinking about this was his article on David Lynch, who is perhaps one of my favorite filmmakers of all time, a filmmaker I fell in love with when I was 14 when I first watched Fire Walk With Me. I'd never seen the tv show Twin Peaks, but the movie I'd watched non-stop over and over again, just for it's sheer weirdness and wonderfulness and empty spaces that I couldn't quite piece together, but made me think, made me go over and over each part. I ended up watching most of his ouvre latter, but to me David Lynch will always be that insane surreal hole-filled movie that's Fire Walk With Me. It had even more holes, since it was a few years before I'd ever see Twin Peaks and so I didn't even understand the stuff that I'm supposed to understand.
Anyway, in the article DFW kept expressing how sincere David Lynch was, it was a running motive through the whole thing. David Lynch said Golly, and Gee, but not in a ironic way, in a sincere way. David Lynch, according to DFW, was an expressionist movie maker, and expressionists were a way of showing emotional sincerity through images. The word sincere here appears over and over and over again. And I like the idea of surrealistic imagery, when presented in such a way, is about emotional sincerity. That's something I struggle towards in my writing every day- the idea of surrealism meant to be expressionistic, about emotional reality that is striking something, that makes it larger in the reader.
I was reading this article and was thinking about the new sincerity, which I'm hearing a lot of all over the place, as a sort of a generational reaction to irony. Which, of course, some people call this out and say that the new sincerity is trying to be ironically sincere, that it's a fake sincerity, and part of me wonders about that. I've always been interested in movements and concepts, and groups of people influencing each other. I think there are a million small writing movements across the US happening every day. I knew when I was college aged me and my friends, our group of writers from a small town, kept thinking we were doing something like the beats and the lost generation, we wrote manifestos about hyper reality, about the writer being priest and shaman, all sorts of insane stuff.
And every generation is looking for something like this, and a defining voice comes a long, and some little group is raised up to a bigger group with all this critical attention poised on it. So, I like the idea of the new sincerity. It's interesting to think of it as a reaction against the ironical irony of the gen X'ers. But then again, I read a place like vice magazine, and I see a lot of the people bandied about as new sincerity are there publishing, and a lot of the stuff at vice is straight up ironic humor. It's also mean humor, and condescending humor, and I wonder about the new sincerity then…is it the irony disguised as new sincerity?
And yet and yet and yet….Tao Lin, I read one of his books, I think it was Eee Eee Eee, and there is a minor character, a fat waitress who gets run out on all the time by these main characters, never leaving a tip. And then I remember that Lin writes a short story (I think I saw it on Moby Lives…) that I swore was from her point of view, and it was insane and heartbreaking, and so interesting because he was empathetic enough to look in from the other side. Or even in Eee Eee Eee when a character mentions they like indie films more than Hollywood films because they are about the small things the life things and that's just about sincerity, about feeling something real.
I can understand that impulse. I'm sick of being attacked by a million scifi/fantasy/epic extravaganzas. I'm sick of being bombarded by glossy hollywood films that are anything but about emotion, about real things, about the world itself. I feel like Mozart in the movie Amadeus when he said he was so sick of opera being about gods and immortals who were so important and inhuman that they shit concrete. I feel like that now. I feel sick of concrete shitting super heroes. I remember the time my tastes in comics changed, and I started reading all underground thanks to my friend Bernie Crowsheet showing me that stuff at the time, him showing me Eight Ball and all that stuff. And I felt like thinking, fuck, this is what comics are supposed to be like. Not about soap opera super heroes that fight new bad guys every day shitting concrete, it's about the real of it all, about the reality of it all. So I read indie comics, and I watch indie movies, and I read books published by small presses (and some big presses, depending on the author involved) because I just am so sick of unreality and epicness and bigness and irony and all the unreality of it all.
Not that I don't like strange and surreal and weird in my reading/viewing/etc habits, but I think that's different than all this big noisy stuff. I think that when done right in a right way, the surrealness and unreality can affect a read in an emotional way, in a way that's stronger and deeper and more real than actual reality, because those symbols can strike at the core of who we are. And to put reasons behind them, to add different explanations behind them, that robs them of power, it's like the same affect of irony, it's putting a wall there, a wall that the reader is pushed out of, and turns reading into only an act of escapism, of running, of not experiencing, when we should be experiencing. Books I think do this well are most of Murakami's stranger works and How to Keep Your Volkswagon Alive. I think these books are emotional expressionism in the way DFW was talking about in his article on David Lynch.
I also wonder if sincerity also appeals to some midwestern thing. DFW grew up in the midwest, David Lynch did as well, and I do kind of sort since I was raised in Ohio and I guess some people see Ohio as the midwest though I don't know. Maybe it's something there, the sick of irony-ness. I don't know. Do I consider myself a sincere writer? I'm not sure. All I know is something I've always said about myself- that I'm striving to reach humanity in my writing and I find myself failing all the time. That's it too- I understand the frustration Wallace felt over the Pale King. I've got so many half written things I've given up because of nonono, that's not what I want, that's not what I need, that's not right not right at all, fuckit fuck all of it I've got to start over again with something else.
I also remember what I say when people ask why I write. Personally, I don't like this question, I don't, it's like a silly question. And I hate most writers answers, which usually I write because I have to. But do you? I quite writing for four years and I was fine. I didn't feel the need or urge to write, even though I wrote and told stories back long back ago. And when I started again, I just picked it up again and it was like I never stopped. But my answer isn't that answer I say-
I write for the same reason I read. Because without it, the world is shallow and empty and without light.

I was surprised that my former girlfriend had agreed to return to the creepy house, and even more so now that it was completely dark, with only the ambient lights from the nearby highway and city. But we felt our way back up the dirt road to her car, and as we stood there, studying the wire that had trapped us, and some way we might free her car, a huge owl flew out of one of the nearby palms, and then flew by just a few feet above us, screeching.
"It's an owl — an owl!" I groaned as I struggled to free my neck from my girlfriend's white-knuckle grip. Finally, I pried her away, "I don't believe it. We're stuck in front of an old house, and an owl flies out of a tree! This isn't happening. This is a scene from a movie."
After explaining to the highway patrolman that we'd changed our minds about the tow truck, he let us make another call.
"So," the driver said, as he took us to the house, "You're stranded in front of the Newlove House."
"Oh? You know this house? What's the story about this place sitting here all by itself?"
"Around the turn of the century the Newloves were the richest family in Santa Maria. The house used to be downtown, but recently some investors bought it, and moved it here," he said as he freed the car. "I think they're planning to turn it into a bed and breakfast or something."
"You know, you really ought to come back here some time during the day, and take a good look. It really is an interesting house." My girlfriend gave him a rather dubious stare.
Our relationship was not destined to survive the rest of the year, but I did return to the Newlove place a few months later on a solo trip to the Bay area.
That afternoon, I pulled up, first checking out the loose stake and that insidious wire, and then found an open window on the side where I could pull myself in. For some reason I thought if I did go inside, somehow I could dispel the curse of this house. I took a thorough look around the first floor.
But when I reached the stairs to the second story, I found that my calm, rational mind, which rejected such stuff as spirits and spooks, had reached its limit. That and I flashed on the scene in "Psycho" when the private investigator slowly climbs the stairs in the Bates mansion, only to be butchered at the top by Norman's "mother." Remember, too, the second floor is where I'd seen the movement before. So, no, it was time to quit while I was ahead, and get back to my car.
For the next several years, I kept an eye on the house every time I drove to the Bay area, but the bed and breakfast never materialized. The house just sat there year after year, until, finally, on one of my trips, it wasn't there any longer.
During the '90s a teacher colleague of mine moved up to Santa Maria with his family, and for a number of years I thought about visiting him, and the Santa Maria Museum, to see if I might be able to find out even more about that creepy old house and what had happened to it. It took awhile, but I finally visited my friend several years ago, and he took me to the museum where I discovered a number of other interesting facts about the Newlove house.
After first hearing my story, the older volunteer at the museum said he knew just where to direct me. It was a book they had on the history of Santa Maria, and it had an entire chapter on the Newlove house. The tow truck driver had been correct those many years ago. Mrs. Newlove was indeed one of the richest women in Santa Maria, having inherited a substantial amount of land from her late husband, where oil was later discovered, making her a wealthy woman who could build such a house.
For many years she was happy there, but then later her family was visited by tragedy — and this is when a chill ran up my spine: her son's son, Herman, was thrown from his horse one day and died shortly thereafter. For many years it was said that his spirit could be seen walking about in the twilight, and in the house, and was readily recognizable because of his fondness for wearing one of those floppy, bow ties that were popular at the time. Maybe he was upset that the house had been moved.
So, there you are. And, oh yes, there's one more matter. The house is gone because the bed and breakfast plans did fall through. It's been sold to a family who owns a winery farther inland, where it's been moved once again, and I just wonder if they've had any sighting of a mysterious figure hanging around who wears a floppy bow tie. Happy Halloween!

This appears to be a regular vindication of the Copernican theory, and was published in 1640.
In 1632 appeared his "Dialogues" on the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems.
The Copernican theory first clearly explained the —— of the planets.
The triumph of the Copernican system is now at last supreme.
The process seems to the writer to resemble the change from the old Ptolemaic to the new Copernican system of Astronomy.
But there is nothing Copernican in it except that he believed it to be a revolution.
The Copernican system shook them, when it told men that the earth was but a tiny globular planet revolving round the sun.
By him he was made acquainted with the Copernican system of the sun and the planets.
Primarily religion is as much a conviction as is the Copernican system of astronomy.
As the Copernican theory does not meet all these tests, it is unsatisfactory.

Who invented coumadin blood thinner?
Was wondering if it was a man by the first name of Dr. Mario Stephanie, oncologist? Hope someone knows.
Coumadin (warfarin) be originaly used as rat poison in the delayed 1800's. It wasn't until the 1950's when someone tried to commit suicide drinking coumadin that they began studying it as a anticoagulant. I guess the character who should take credit for coumadin would be karl contact. He did most of the studies for the drug.
hope that helped....
Goodman and Gilman (Medical Pharmacology Textbook) cite the isolation of coumarin from moldy wheat cattle surrounded by Canada ingested, leading to their developing massive internal bleeding. The generic moniker warfarin is named for the Wisconsin Animal Research Foundation. Don't know if Dr. MS be involved.

The Court Collections Division is responsible for the collection of time (installment) payment accounts.
Contact Information:
- 221 South Mooney Boulevard, Room G28
- Visalia
- 93291
- 559-730-5000
Walk-in Hours: 8:00am - 4:00pm
Call Center Hours: 8:00am - 5:00pm
The Court Collection Department provides enforcement of court-ordered Traffic and Criminal fines for the Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, and Dinuba Superior Courts. The court has seven collectors available Monday through Friday to provide assistance to defendants with delinquent fines. The collectors can be reached at the Collection Office from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or by phone from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Once a signed traffic citation or court order has been defaulted on, the case is referred to the Superior Court Collections Department for enforcement of the fine. In most circumstances, the defendant will receive an FTA/FTP Civil Assessment Notice notifying them of their delinquency.
NOTE: If the defendant does not receive the Civil Assessment Notice, and they are delinquent on their fine, it is the defendant's responsibility to contact the Collections Department or the Court.
When the defendant receives a delinquent notice, he/she must pay the delinquent fine(s) within 10 calendar days of the date printed at the top of the notice. If they are not sure of the amount for which they are delinquent, they can contact the Collection Department at the phone number listed at the bottom of the notice, or appear in the office within 10 days. Failure to comply within 10 calendar days of the notice will result in an imposition of a Civil Assessment of $300.00, the fine will be referred to the Court's private collection agency, and a driver's license hold will be placed with the Department of Motor Vehicles. A DMV notification and release will result in an additional $10.00 fee (VC40508.6).
FTA Civil Assessment Notice: The defendant must appear and speak to a collector, or pay the Bail Forfeiture amount in full. Partial payments will not be accepted without a signed payment agreement. Once the FTA has been referred to collections, proof of correction will no longer be accepted. The defendant may, within 10 days from the date of the notice, show proof of correction, if applicable, TO THE ORIGINATING COURT ONLY.
FTP Civil Assessment Notice: The defendant can pay the fine in full, or bring their original court order current within 10 days.
If the defendant responds to the delinquent notice within 10 days but is unable to pay the fine in full, or bring the account current, the defendant can request payment arrangements. Payments will not be accepted without paperwork signed by the defendant. Payment arrangements can be made over the phone, or at the counter in the collection department. If requested by phone, paperwork can be mailed to the defendant. The paperwork must be returned to the court within 10 days, along with the first payment. A one-time payment processing fee of $35.00 will be added to the fine, unless previously added. The minimum monthly payment in collections is $150.00 per month. If the defendant is not able to afford $150.00 per month, an income and expense form must be completed, and proof of income provided at the counter to be considered for lower payments.
Once a payment arrangement falls past due, all future payments should be made to the Collection Department, regardless if payments have been brought current.
Once an unsigned citation falls delinquent, a certified letter is submitted notifying the defendant of the delinquency. For unsigned citations resulting from a traffic accident, the defendant is given 15 calendar days from the date of the notice to provide proof of correction and/or to pay the bail forfeiture amount. For owner responsibility citations, the defendant is given 10 calendar days from the date of the notice to provide proof of correction and/or to pay the bail forfeiture amount in full. Failure to comply within the times specified above will result in the original bail amount due in full, and proof of correction will no longer be accepted. If payment in full is not received, an FTA notice will be sent and a Civil Assessment of $300.00 imposed. The fine will be referred to the court's private collection agency, and a driver's license hold will be placed with the Department of Motor Vehicles, where applicable. A DMV notification and release will result in an additional $10.00 fee (VC40508.6).
When making payments, please have your case number with you. Your case number can be found on the Civil Assessment Notice next to People vs. [your name]. Your case number will begin with three letters and may end with a year (for example, TCT054091-99). If you do not know your case number, you will need to provide the name on the case, date of birth, social security number, current address, phone number, and as much information about the citation as possible to help us locate the correct case.
To be considered for lower monthly payments, an Income and Expense form must be completed and attached with copies of all monthly bills, expenses, and copies of check stubs, AFDC, SSI, or unemployment verification.
Once the form is completed, signed, and dated by the defendant, it can be brought to the collection counter, and a collector will review it. Based upon your fine amount and the amount of available income, payments will be set at the lowest amount possible. Payments will not be set lower than $35.00 per month.

Ghost and The Machine - Theater for the New City
Ages: all
Price: $18
155 First Avenue - 212-254-1109
East Village, NY 10003
Description: Love is an altered state, so is grief. When you lose a lover, there is a trick to recapturing her that daring young men really understand and other men learn to fear. Memories, like drugs, can transport you to a wake-and-dream state that is hard to escape. It's dramatized in "Ghost in the Machine," a shockingly promising first play by Mike Leon. Originally produced at Williams College in October, 2010, the play will have its New York premiere October 13 to 23, presented by Theater for the New City in association with The Dead Copycats. Director is Nathaniel Basch-Gould. In this four-character drama, a girl named Rachel is dead (victim of a drunk driver) and her lover, James, is reliving his relationship with her through flashbacks. He can't seem to snap out of his grief, but what he's actually got is a sort of enhanced-dream disorder. His younger brother, Eddie, is very concerned about him. James finds that certain things trigger the memories that bring Rachel back to him, like her voice mails and a dose of Ambien. When memories of her start, James revisits the storytelling and role playing that characterized their relationship, that actually bound her to him. It's a pressure-cooker of memories, dreams and the unresolved aspects of their relationship. It's also not without perils: a man named Brent, who would have taken Rachel from him, lurks as a sinister presence in his flashbacks, with his own competitive games. And the flashbacks themselves are dangerous, locking James into a nowhere zone between dreaming and memory, in which he must re-enact his role playing with Rachel in a perfect playback, or else lose her.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- The Tennessee Volunteers continued their 20-year gridiron dominance of Vanderbilt with a workmanlike 24-0 victory on a sun-splashed but chilly Saturday afternoon at the Nashville Coliseum. It was the second consecutive year in which the Commodores have failed to score on their cross-state rivals, and it was Vanderbilt's 20th consecutive loss in the series. The Commodores finished Bobby Johnson's initial season 2-10, while the Volunteers improved to 7-4.
The Commodores had hoped to perhaps catch a more-vulnerable-than-usual Tennessee team on a down day, but it wasn't to be. Playing their last game of the 2002 season in the home of the NFL Tennessee Titans, Vanderbilt entered the game already racked by a mind-boggling series of injuries. But in the first half the Vanderbilt offense quickly sustained a few more serious injuries that crippled their chances even further.
Starting quarterback Jay Cutler left the game after bruising a hip in the first quarter, and fullback Bara Cola left the game with a knee injury midway through the second quarter and did not return. Leading rusher Kwane Doster dressed but did not play at all due to an ankle sprain. Last but not least, defensive back Lorenzo Parker, who had prepared during the week to play tailback in an emergency, was knocked out of the game with what was thought to be a concussion.
Consequently, but not surprisingly, Vanderbilt's offense was largely impotent against a tough Tennessee defense.
"They were running three linemen and four linebackers at us," said Matthew Tant, who played at both tailback and fullback. "We tried to adjust, but could not. Plus, it was hard to get the offense going with the field position we had throughout the game."
How bad was the injury situation? Late in the first half Vanderbilt's offense was running out of an 'I' formation that consisted of backup quarterback Benji Walker, little-used walk-on fullback Clark Lea (of local Montgomery Bell Academy), and 5-7, 180-pound walk-on tailback Jason Bourque of Lafayette, La.
Though Tennessee is traditionally a team loaded with big play makers on offense, the Vols on this day relied on a methodical but effective ground attack to dominate the clock and the scoreboard. Tennessee outgained Vanderbilt 371-196, outrushed the Commodores 242-117, won the turnover war 2-0, and held the ball for 36:49. Meanwhile Vol quarterback Casey Clausen, who was questionable for the game, did play and completed 12-of-21 passes for 120 yards.
On the first play of the game, Cutler was hit hard on the hip by a Tennessee defender on a passing attempt, and came up slightly gimpy. After Vanderbilt went three-and-out, the Vols mounted a 71-yard scoring drive, with Jabari Davis diving over from the 1 for the score.
Vandy stopped Tennessee on its next possession, but Vol punter Dustin Colquitt pinned Vanderbilt on its 1-yard line. The Commodore offense had to go ultra-conservative and failed to move the ball on three downs. On fourth-and-nine from the two, punter Greg Johnson fumbled the snap and had to fall on it for a safety. The miscue gave the Vols a 9-0 lead with 1:24 left in the first.
Behind the running of Cedric Houston, the Vols tacked on another touchdown with 11:49 left in the second, but missed on a 2-point conversion attempt. Later in the quarter the Vols' Marvin Mitchell laid a vicious hit on Jason Bourque at the Commodore 42, and Tennessee came up with the loose ball. The turnover led to a 28-yard field goal by Alex Walls with 4:05 left in the half.
Vanderbilt's makeshift offense put together a 77-yard ALMOST-scoring drive late in the first half. Walker, demonstrating some brilliant broken-field scrambling, gave the Commodores a first down at the Vol 5, but the offense began moving backwards. With one second left, a Walker pass went through Dan Stricker's hands in the left corner of the end zone. On the last play of the half, Greg Johnson missed on a chip-shot field goal.
Tennessee consequently took a convincing, yet not insurmountable, 18-0 lead to the locker room at halftime.
But Tennessee would get the ball first in the second half, and the Vols opened with a 82-yard march which not only resulted in a field goal-- it consumed 7 minutes and 34 seconds of clock. Vanderbilt's offense failed to answer.
The Commodores attempted to throw the ball a little more than usual against the Vols, and sub Benji Walker completed 6-of-13 passes for 81 yards with one interception. But without a running game, Vanderbilt was never able to sustain a drive.
"We're short on running backs and tried to open it up a little," said Walker, who played every snap from the third series on. "But they have some good athletes out there and that made it difficult. When you play a team like that, it is going to be tough regardless."
Vanderbilt fans had one genuine moment of excitement early in the fourth quarter when the Commodores successfully executed a fake punt on a fourth down from their own 14-yard line-- Tant took a short snap and burst up the middle for 31 yards. But the drive later stalled when a fourth-down pass from Walker to Stricker came up a yard short of the first-down marker, and the Commodores never seriously threatened again to score.
Walls added another field goal with 4:52 left in the fourth quarter to provide the final margin of victory.
With the 2002 season now in the record books, Bobby Johnson's staff must look ahead to recruiting and the 2003 season. Tennessee (7-4) finishes the season next week at home against Kentucky, and will be a candidate for a second-tier bowl.
"[Vanderbilt's senior players] have worked extremely hard," said Bobby Johnson. "Jim May and Jamie Byrum have played every snap of the season. Everyone wrote off Rushen Jones, and he's come back to play well in the second half of the season. Without them it would have been extremely tough this season."
GAME NOTES: The Commodores suffered a number of other injuries besides those to Cutler and Cola. Punt returner Lorenzo Parker left the game with what was thought to be a concussion, but later returned and played some in the backfield. Zeke Brandon suffered an injury to his ankle in the second quarter and did not return. Middle linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer, who as usual played like a madman on defense and had a number of big tackles, injured an elbow late in the game, an injury that required X-rays.
Receiver Dan Stricker was held to two catches for 12 yards. He ended a brilliant career with 2,880

Remember the Steam Box? There was a lot of talk about it earlier this year, during CES and in the few months following. In case you don't recall, the Steam Box is a PC running Linux and dedicated to gaming. It's designed for the living room (meaning HDMI out and a controller friendly user interface). You turn on the Steam Box and instead of seeing an OS you boot right into Steam (Valve software's digital distribution service). The idea is you chuck your Xbox and put a Steam Box in your living room instead. That's the concept, anyway; Valve hasn't blessed any hardware with 'official' Steam Box status yet.
Valve has been pretty quiet about the Steam Box for the past few months, but yesterday at LinuxCon Valve's managing director Gabe Newell stoked the fires again (video below). According to a post at Ars Technica, Newell said that Linux is the future of gaming and that Steam on Linux now supports 198 games.
Ars says Newell never uttered the phrase "Steam Box" but they did quote him as saying "Next week we're going to be rolling out more information about how we get there and what are the hardware opportunities we see for bringing Linux into the living room." In the past Newell has implied that Valve would create it's own hardware if no one else took up the challenge. It's not clear whether next week will see a hardware announcement from Valve or just news about some 3rd party bringing out a living-room friendly Linux box.
The timing is interesting to me. Last January I thought Valve would be a lot more aggressive than they have been. If we're talking about a hardware announcement next week, it just seems like they've decided to dive in at the worst possible moment, with so much of the gaming community focused on the November launch of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, and with us being at the height of the gaming software season with titles like GTA V coming out.
Unless Valve can really pull off a coup (like announcing that GTA V is coming to Linux but not Windows...wouldn't that stir things up!?) I'm just not sure they'll get the attention they're hoping for in terms of 'mainstream' gamers opting to skip next gen consoles in favor of a Linux-powered PC next to the TV. Sure Linux gaming fans will be excited but realistically that's not a huge marketing segment.
Still, I'm eager to hear what Valve's announcement is. Between this and the Tokyo Game Show running from Thursday to Sunday of this week (not to mention the furor around the GTA V launch) it's going to be another exciting week for gaming!

By Spc. Dustin Gautney, 2nd HBCT, 3rd ID Public AffairsDecember 2, 2009
FORWARD OPERATING BASE MAREZ, Iraq - Leaders from 2nd "Spartan" Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division celebrated togetherness, brotherhood and sisterhood during a prayer luncheon held at FOB Marez dining facility, Nov. 20.
The prayer luncheon, which was the first hosted by the Spartan Brigade since their arrival in Iraq, gave unit leaders the opportunity to give thanks during the holidays and to celebrate unity of service.
"Even though some of us wear different patches on our shoulders, we share the same uniform; that is what makes us a Family," said Col. Charles E. A. Sexton, commander, 2nd HBCT, and keynote speaker for the event.
Colonel Sexton reinforced to all in attendance that every Soldier is a blessing, regardless of faith.
"Remind yourself and your Soldiers how much of a blessing they are, and to use the power which is bestowed onto you as a leader for good things," he said.
Colonel Sexton also told the crowd of the significance of the month of November to all who wear the 3rd ID Marne patch.
"November is very special to the 3rd Infantry Division: it is the birth month of the 3rd ID; it was the month that saw the end of World War I, as well as marked the month the 3rd Division crossed the Rhine River in World War II," said Col. Sexton.
Spartan Brigade Chaplain, Maj. Sid Taylor, said that having prayer luncheons were especially important for the unit leaders to provide spiritual fitness to help leaders make decisions.
"The prayer luncheon is another tool that chaplains can use to reinforce unit leaders with the spiritual fitness and fortitude to help leaders during the decision process and make sound decisions for the Soldiers," Chap. Taylor said.
The monthly luncheon, open to all servicemembers of FOB Marez, features prayer and music provided by the Veterans Chapel Praise Band, said Chaplain Taylor.

The ProGrid Paramount (women's)
Saucony has recently developed the perfect sneaker for the all-year runner. The ProGrid Paramount is an advanced technical lightweight running shoe that features an innovative lining called Comfortemp(r). This brilliant technology provides heat regulation to keep your feet at an optimal 82°, even in the coldest weather. Combined with Saucony's signature technologies, the ProGrid Paramount is truly one of the best cushioned, most responsive rides on the market.
Shape You's Review:
Forrest Gump would say, "Those look like comfortable shoes." And they are. They feel like air and when you run, you can actually feel the breeze coming through the fabric. Many of our runners were fans of the ProGrid Paramounts already. One judge went so far to tell that if he's not running on Sauconys, he's not running.

God aka Daniel Alfredsson plays for the Sens, just ask Siri
By DOUG HEMPSTEAD, QMI Agency
According to your iPhone, Daniel Alfredsson is God — just ask it.
In fact, any i-device with the Siri application will tell you the Senators captain is God when you ask it to "Show me a picture of God" or "Who does God play for?"
At least it did Tuesday but who knows for how long.

How do I begin pest management at home?
Try alternatives to pesticides and use conventional ones only when absolutely necessary. Integrated pest management does not necessarily result in pest elimination but encourages you to choose between various strategies to minimize the health and environmental impacts they create.
Integrated Pest Managment
- Identify the pest problem. Figure out what pest you are up against. Weeds, termites, rats, and mildew are examples of pests. Some signs such as poor soil or lack of water may look like a pest problem but actually are not. Most insects, up to 90 percent of them, are beneficial and don't require a "cure."
- Decide how much pest control is necessary. Be reasonable. By living with minor pest damage, you can avoid intensive pest control product treatments.
- Prevent pests. Use preventive methods in your home, garden and lawn before you reach for a toxic chemical.
- Deny pests food and water.
- Deny pests access and shelter by blocking, removing or destroying places they can enter or live, such as piles of decaying wood or leaves.
- Keep plants healthy so they can resist disease. Choose plants that are suited to the climate. Rotate crops to decrease vulnerability to pests. Keep soils healthy ensuring the right pH, texture, nutrients and water or moisture.
- Choose the least toxic solution. Try various non-toxic methods first, such as physically removing pests or pruning diseased plants before deciding on a control. Choose a product that targets only the problem and poses the least hazard.
Non-chemical controls really work, and have many advantages. They are effective for long periods of time and less likely to create pesticide resistant pest populations. These controls pose virtually no risk to human health or the environment. Non-chemical methods include biological controls such as beneficial predators, parasitoids, microscopic pathogens and biochemical pesticides. Manual methods include spading and hoeing weeds, handpicking weeds and pests, using flyswatters, setting traps, and mulching to reduce weeds.
Use pesticides or chemical controls only if a non-chemical solution doesn't work. If you must use them, take care to choose the correct and least toxic pesticide product and amount. Read the product label. Store, handle, apply and dispose of them properly to reduce pesticide risks. Remember that the results achieved by using chemical controls are generally temporary and repeated treatments may be necessary.
- Evaluate the results. Allow time for the method to work and decide whether it is effective. Decide on long term or short-term chemical control, as well as non-chemical methods.
It is easier to prevent pests than to control them. You may not need to worry about pest control if you make the effort to prevent pests in the first place.
What Are The Benefits Of IPM?
- Reduces the need for pesticides by using several pest management methods.
- Protects the environment from unnecessary pesticide applications.
- Fosters clean water supplies. Pesticide ridden water leaving your home can pollute ground water, streams or coastal regions.
- Promotes sound structures and healthy plants. Well maintained homes, lawns and gardens better withstand damage from pests.

Magic number for more terrain on Highlands, Snowmass, Ajax is 8 inches
With Mother Nature apparently still on vacation here, the scheduled opening of Aspen Highlands on Saturday has been delayed until the area receives 8 inches or more of natural snowfall, the Aspen Skiing Co. announced on Tuesday.
SkiCo representatives have informed merchants at the base of the ski area who were gearing up for the Dec. 8 opening, as well as employees who were scheduled to be on mountain, that their services are not needed in a full capacity — yet.
"People are working but they are not working as much as they should," said SkiCo spokesman Jeff Hanle, adding that many employees are in training.
A change in the weather pattern is expected this weekend, which could meet SkiCo's goal, or exceed it.
Ryan Boudreau, forecaster at Aspenweather.net, was careful not to predict specific snowfall accumulations but said it's supposed to start snowing on Friday and continue through the weekend. The storm is predicted to end on Monday, and another system is forecast to move in on Tuesday or Wednesday.
"We are very confident this pattern change will deliver good snow amounts for this weekend," he said.
Boudreau also said snow is in the forecast for the next two to three weeks.
"We're on a good cycle," he said. "How long it sticks, we're not sure."
Hanle estimated that there is about a 6-inch base mid-mountain at Highlands. Currently, there isn't enough of the white stuff for top-to-bottom skiing on the Exhibition chairlift. Snowmaking capability only goes to the top of the Jerome Bowl, which is the pitch below the first catwalk near the base of the mountain under the Exhibition chairlift.
"In spite of the best efforts of the team at Highlands we haven't received enough snow to open to the public," Hanle wrote in an email Tuesday afternoon announcing the delay.
However, more terrain will open on Aspen Mountain Thursday. Copper Bowl will open with the connection from the top of Bell chair via Copper and Lazy Boy.
Additionally, after hosting an FIS World Cup, NorAm races, the Canadian Men's National Team and Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club, the lower west side of Ajax reopens Thursday.
Lift 1A will serve Spring Pitch, Strawpile and E. 5th Ave. on a daily basis. The SkiCo will run a shuttle from gondola plaza to 1A until the snow connection is made on Tower 7 and 10 roads. Aspen Mountain also is 8 inches away from top-to-bottom skiing, according to the SkiCo.
At Snowmass, snowmaking efforts remain focused on Banzai Ridge, Coney Glade (the run), Lowdown Park and Funnel. Again, with good temperatures SkiCo is a few days away from these additions. Sneaky's and Mick's Gully on The Big Burn also are close to entering the mix of open terrain.
"We need another 8 inches or a foot to get us back on track," Hanle said.

Taylorsville • It must have felt a little like déjà vu.
When the Lancers of Granger and the Lancers of Layton opened the season against each other in November, Layton used a 23-2 first-quarter advantage to put away its opponent.
Fast forward to Monday and the first round of the Class 5A girls' state basketball tournament. Once again the northern Lancers built a massive first-quarter lead 20-4 this time and never looked back.
Layton guard Maddi Smith led the way for her Lancers in a 56-30 victory. The junior torched Granger from inside and out, finishing with a career-high 23 points to lead all scorers.
Smith was dealing with illness for part of the season, which contributed to the Lancers stumbling and losing first place in their region.
"She's getting it back now," Layton coach Van Price said. "She's getting back to where she wants to be."
Defensively, Layton smothered Granger with full-court pressure that created plenty of turnovers and easy baskets. Layton kept Granger scoreless after halftime until the last 90 seconds of the third quarter, when Lile Havili put back an offensive rebound for two points.
Price was worried about Havili coming into Monday's matchup. The center did not play in the teams' first meeting this season.
"We were a little worried ... because she's a quality Division I type player," Price said.
The coach used an undersized player to front Havili, which turned out to be an effective move. Still, Havili was Granger's only consistent option Monday. She finished with 14 points in the losing effort.
Layton next plays an Alta team that needed overtime to beat Pleasant Grove.
"They've played Alta before," Price said about his players, "and they know that's an intense game. I don't think they'll have any trouble getting up for that."

El Dia Que Me Amen
Two childhood pals, Joaquin (Adrian Suar) and Mara (Leticia Bredice), have lost their way as adults in this moving drama. Joaquin's afraid of the world, and his fears and insecurities won't allow him to leave his father's home. Mara, on the other hand, just can't seem to decide what she wants to be when she grows up ... even though she's already an adult. Separate, they're as fragile as can be, but together, they're a force to be reckoned with.

NSW captain Simon Katich feels Australia have a ready-made Ashes smokey in rising quick Trent Copeland.
Speaking after the Blues' one-wicket Sheffield Shield loss to Tasmania at the SCG on Friday, Test opener Katich said selectors could do a lot worse than selecting Copeland.
The 24-year-old claimed nine wickets in the loss to the Tigers, in the process becoming the fourth fastest Blue to take 50 first class scalps, passing the milestone in just his eighth match.
And Katich believes if Copeland was to receive a shock national team call-up he'd be ready for it.
"He's been outstanding, I can't speak highly enough about him," Katich said.
"He puts pressure on every ball and is always asking questions of the batsman and I think he's a very bright prospect."
Copeland, who took 6-51 and 3-42 against the Tigers, has now claimed 54 victims in eight Shield appearances for the Blues at an average of 17.46.
"I mean, his record speaks for itself at this stage," Katich said.
"His name should get mentioned, he's taken 50 wickets in whatever it is, seven or eight games.
"That's an outstanding achievement and he's only 24-years of age so he's willing to learn and he's a great prospect."
The man himself was flattered and more than a little shocked to hear such high praise from his state skipper.
"Wow, that's nice to hear," Copeland said.
"If I was ever mentioned I'd be stoked and definitely ready to go.
"If I can take wickets at this level I think I'm good enough, and if the chance came I'm sure I'd be happy to take it."

'Pretty Little Liars' Season 2, Episode 9 Recap - 'Picture This'
While Aria is sleeping in and having weird switcheroo sex dreams about Ezra and Jason, the other little liars have dressed up like candy stripers yet again in order to nonchalantly hang out in the corridor outside the hospital morgue.
They do not find the missing page from Allison's autopsy report but they do happen to see blind Jenna strolling by talking loudly about an operation that could restore her sight. Silent, wide-eyed looks of shock and alarm are exchanged. Or maybe that's just a side effect of the entire pot of coffee Spencer no doubt forced them to drink before this little escapade of espionage.
Later that morning, Emily disposes of every bottle of lotion she and Hannah have since they are all potentially poisoned with steroids by A, who is constantly reminding her of her controversial lab results via text. On a happier note Samarra shows up with cupcakes and a kiss (finally!). Hannah's mom walks in on them, introduces herself and offers to let them have their teenage lesbian poker night at the house. She follows this up with a short but awesome convo with Emily, in which she makes sure to let her know that she should feel free to be (her actual queer) self at home.
She then lays down the same dating rules she has for Hannah. Take note parents/guardians of queer kids everywhere --- this is how it's done. You don't need a whole new blueprint to handle your queer kids dating – act like it's normal. Because it actually is.
Except when comes to Ezra and Aria. She shows up at Hollis and initiates some office hours sex in order to repent for the fact that she can't stop secretly dreaming about Jason DiLaurentis. Ezra is happy about the on-the-job lovin' but senses that something is up. He tries to engage Aria about it but she neatly evades him with shrill claims of happiness and a vending machine picnic dinner.
Meanwhile, Spencer is doing her usual afterschool recon in the wealthy white people forest that lies between her house and the DiLaurentis property. Hilariously, she is sleuthing around in the bushes wearing a bright red top with a deer on it. Subtle! Anyways, she sees Jason get all rage-y on one of his yard workers when they try to go in his shed. He yells a bunch about how no one goes in the shed! Ever! And then hides his key in plain sight.
So of course Spencer's next move is to break into that shed ASAP. She recruits Emily to help her but sadly no candy striper outfits are involved on this mission. As it turns out the shed is Jason's darkroom. A closer look by our liars reveals that he has only one subject and that is Aria. The place is filled with pictures of her, including ones of her at home sleeping in bed. The creepy factor gets kicked up to 11 when the girls find a bunch of surveillance equipment as well. Jason comes home and they haul ass out of there, sloppily dropping a flashlight on their way out.
Before they can tell Aria about her nonconsensual muse status, Jason puts the moves on her and they kiss. She's into it for a minute but then breaks it off, telling him she has a boyfriend. Since none of the these girls ever has privacy, Jenna and Officer Garrett are watching the whole thing, whispering again some more about how Jason better not remember/tell anyone, especially Aria about That Night.
Next week, it looks like Jason is A, but I'm betting it won't be that simple.

2008 Cadillac DTS (3 Reviews)
I like this car a lot but a few things are a pain.The dash set up is not the best, the vents for the A/C only move in 2 directions not 4 so you cannot direct the cold air how you like. . Also, the clock on the dash is very shiny, and creates a lot of glare when the sun hits it, which happens a lot more than you would think. It makes it hard to see sometimes. ALso the radio is only average sound wise. I have had cheaper cars with much better sound systems. Mechanically it is still in good shape at 63000+ miles .

Love this car. Usually I just "like" a car, this one I love. Gave up a Lexus for it.
