The Dating Thread 72(1000 Posts)
lol Lizzie we posted a new thread at the same time!
and then answered at the same time!
Well I need advice.
Met Mr Postman and had a pleasant afternoon. But I'm just not sure!
Pros - he's emotionally mature (as far as I can tell), fairly attractive, dresses nicely, his home is tidy, he is obviously up for a serious relationship, very attentive, interesting, no kids (less complications)
Cons - he lives an hour away, he's thinner physically than I like, he has no kids (so does he understand life with children??)
He was keen to try and arrange a third date but I slightly put him off, I did tentatively suggest he could stay at my house and sleep in the spare room but the next day I would just want him to go lol.
The distance is the main issue. He's a really nice guy and he deserves someone in his life who he can see regulary not once a week.
beforeandafter - "Hmm - I'm a bit hard-nosed about 'the rules'. If you're as soft as shite then the rules are good to give you equilibrium. if you've been hurt like fuck then the rules are good to help you sort the wheat from the chaff and if you fall faster than Newton's apple then they give you a breather. At some point though it's about you and him and not you, the rules and him.
If you feel he's genuine and he's what you want you fall for him and you might just be slower than he is (or vice versa) for no sinister reason. From what you've posted he's not 'just' after casual. If you feel he's about to tell you he loves you, you can always put your finger to his lips and go 'sshhh, not yet'. Channel your inner Julia Roberts (I've no idea if she ever did that in a film)... Just don't channel your inner Gwyneth - a politically correct statement about conscious coupling would go down like a lead balloon."
I don't think I could channel Julia or Gwyneth! Early days yet so maybe it isn't on his mind. I just don't want to mess it up!
You must be reeling - I'm so sorry. I do find this virtual life that we all have impossible to handle in the context of a relationship because I'm a suspicious cow thanks to my XH's affair.
I'm no apologist for opportunistic cheats but there is one plausible explanation - he was closing down his other profiles and maybe his pending trip home reminded him of the French sites.
Of course the seed of doubt has sprouted leaves now so only you know if you can handle living with it in your head.
I'm reeling from a break up with the loveliest man because of the seed of doubt in my head. For me it's easier to be alone and without the doubt than the alternative and it sounds like that's where you are.
louby44 It is tough when distance, shifts, and responsibilities mean that you can only see someone once or twice a week. It doesn't seem to matter really early on but it does make you wonder what would happen if it got serious. I mean after 6 months is once or twice a week going to be enough. I don't know what to suggest really but it would be a shame to miss out on someone lovely because of logistics.
louby does he drive? I think you've mentioned picking him up in a previous post and to be honest I'd struggle if I were the only driver. If you can divvy up the commute then it may be workable.
Folk I've just read your last posts on thread 71. I'm sorry you found this out and although you didn't find him on the French site, to me that would mean the intention is there. After 5 months you should be able to feel much more secure than this. You could discuss it with him but there's always the chance he'll just talk his way out of it. Sometimes, you just know when something isn't going to work out, plus as you say, you struggle to trust easily and he's not exactly putting your mind at rest by having these sites in his 'recently viewed' list. If you've decided it's definitely over then I'd do a combination of 2 and 3 but don't just block him. Definitely let him know why you're ending things, that you saw the French dating site on his recently viewed list and that for you it means you can't trust him and it's over.
Folk I just don't get these men. 5 months is a long time. I agree with soft we are adults and should be decent and upfront and talk about these things. You shouldn't just block him.
BFA yes he drives. My other niggles are that he says my name in nearly every sentence (and in every text) and he has a nervous cough!
sorry folk that's not how you wanted it to go I'm sure. I'm new to all this dating stuff so don't know what to advise. but I think I'd have to speak to him about it
Sorry Folk..when I discovered pofguy doing the same I wrote him a dignified and to the point text. He was left in no doubt that I wouldn't be listening to any more explanations or excuses. He chose not to reply and after 5 weeks I doubt I'll ever hear from him again but that's ok..I said my bit without ranting and don't cringe if I re read it which is a good sign.
Honestly Folk, I felt hugely betrayed but I genuinely believe these guys did mean everything they said, it wasn't all acting and I'm sure your guy will be full of regret having lost what sounded like a really promising relationship..
Why do men do this though? Take the time to get to know someone and seem all serious and then still be looking around on the sites!?
I've no idea old...I do believe that it doesn't necessarily mean they were bullshitting all along though. I'm sure pofguy misses what we had and I've no doubt Folks guy will miss her too. The sweet shop syndrome is too much of a temptation for some it seems.
I honestly think they see it as harmless fun. A lot of people don't share my view that flirty texts/FB messages/dating site messages are a form of betrayal in a relationship - irrespective of how young that relationship is.
Right, off to see my very old and lovely Mum who just wants to see me settled... she'll be waiting a while for that one!
Thanks all
Before That's exactly where I am - the thought of missing out of the beautiful what might have beens... is far easier to handle than the unhappiness and feelings of insecurity. I came out of a shit marriage 17 months ago. I felt I had to stay and put up with that because of my children, because of the vows, because of the shame... But now, I'm content to end something that doesn't make me feel good.
soft that's it, what if he was on there just deciding whether or not to join that particular site or not... I only searched for him in his home town. He could have put somewhere else down.
louby No, I didn't want to just block him. I'm an adult after all! But it was an option!
poff That's what I'm going to do. I just need to work out how to say it. Part of me wants to give him the opportunity to explain, just out of curiosity of what he will say.
The thing is, we met on Match. When I messaged him, I only did so because it was 4am and I was feeling brave! I always, and only, messaged me who were 'out of my league' in the early hours of the morning because it didn't feel real! When he replied, I only continued the communication out of, again, curiosity. But it turned out that we had a fair bit in common and are really easy around each other. I suppose if you're used to beautiful, sexy women, a pale and pasty single mum from England probably isn't going to float your boat!
Shit. He's just emailed to tell me he misses me and he hopes my children are taking good care of me. (I left his house early this morning because it's mother's day). But it's just words isn't it? He could be emailing me from his email account on one tab, and searching for women online on another. It's ridiculous, I'm almost embarrassed that by saying something to him I'm admitting that I saw a website on his 'recently closed' list, came home and checked it out.
He's introduced me to some of his oldest friends. Apparently, they really liked me and have suggested we all go out. Just why? Why would you do it? What is he going to say to his friends? What's he going to say to his mother! Aren't all these people he's told I'm going with him going to wonder where I am?! What reason is he going to give! Just why?
Like I said on the other thread though, I've just found out I've got a new job (he said he was really proud of me, took me out for dinner on Friday night to celebrate and said when we met that what I do for a living is one of the things he likes about me). But I digress. I shall focus on my new job, my children, my friends, my hobbies and interests and just myself in general.
Just gutted though because I did like him, I did fancy him, I'd introduced him to some of my friends and the children.
I thought I'd have another look and widen my search to see if I could see him on there.
I couldn't.
But Eric 46 from the same town looks pretty hot...
You go Folkgirl
Thanks Lizzie. Not feeling quite as brave as I sound though. Just trying to block all thoughts of him from my head now.
Any suggestions on what to say would be gratefully received. I suppose I really want to ask him why on earth he'd take me to another country to meet/stay with his mother and still be online.
The sad thing is, I was feeling like it was a bit like the last chance saloon for me as far as relationships were concerned. I just don't really see the point now. I really wouldn't trust anyone again.
I'm just embarrassed about bringing it up with him. I think I'd rather just tell him I was ending it and leave it at that.
Folk I had so many questions for pofguy too but decided in the long run what difference it really made what his answers were. I didn't want to get into dialogue with him as I knew he'd talk me round. I simply started my text with..Hey, so I see you're back on pof..
You could do something similar...just say you noticed he's been browsing dating sites,that you're not one for checking up on people but couldn't ignore what you'd accidentally seen on his laptop...tell him he knows you've trust issues so that he'll understand how there's no possibility of you being able to trust somebody who says one thing but clearly does another. Tell him you hope he finally works out what he's looking for but that you're stepping away as the trust is gone...
If he replies and you feel you'd like answers then that's the time to ask them...
You don't owe him an explanation Folk. He should be the one that's embarrassed not you. A lot of people would just block and delete without any explanation so he's very lucky that he won't be left hanging without knowing why...try not to rant though, don't mention the kids or anything yet, I know its tempting but you don't want to look back over your mail in a few months and think why did I say that. .you should certainly let him know you're hurt, angry and confused by his behaviour but that you're not going to waste any more energy trying to understand his motives
poff thank you, that is pretty much perfect and exactly the message/info I'd want to convey.
I'm off to word it now. I don't want to leave it hanging. Dreading the departure date arriving now though
Oh I won't be ranting. I don't want to rant. I'm not a ranter anyway. I didn't rant last time.
Yes, I think saying I'm hurt and confused would probably sum it up. I won't be mentioning specifics. If I need to do that, I'll offload on here
I'm not for ranting either Folk and was very happy to have friends who were kind enough to bare the brunt. We had things planned too, concerts, his birthday, my birthday...its horrible and unfair but you will feel some relief from the uncertainty that was always lingering in your gut (I had it too).

Senator Grisanti Strongly Opposed to Bicycle License Legislation
Chairman of State Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee calls proposal 'outrageous'
New York State Senator Mark Grisanti (60th District) issued a statement today strongly opposing proposed legislation that would require every bicycle in New York State to have a license plate.
"In a day and age where we should be encouraging healthy travel and "green" living and during a time when gasoline prices have gone through the roof and are expected to rise even higher, I am strongly opposed to this proposal," Senator Grisanti said. "As the chair of the Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee, I believe this is shameful that any elected official is even considering the possibility of introducing a measure that would charge bicyclists user fees and yearly renewal fees."
The proposed legislation includes language that calls for a registration and inspection fee of $25 for every "private" bicyclist and $50 for "commercial" bicyclists, with a $5 fee every subsequent year to renew the license.
"I campaigned heavily to stop the increase on meaningless fees and licensees," Sen. Grisanti said. "This outrageous proposal would severely damage the amount of money my constituents can put back in their pocket. I cannot support this measure in any way, shape or form."

Atlantic City Underwater as Hurricane Sandy Nears
As hurricane Sandy barrels down on the entire mid-Atlantic region, famed Atlantic City, N.J. is already said to be almost completely underwater.
For only the fourth time in 34 years Atlantic City has closed the doors to all casinos in the city as Hurricane Sandy nears.
As Hurricane Sandy continues to come ashore, record storm surges are expected, according to experts, who are warning widespread flooding and destruction could take place.
State and local officials had warned residents in and around Atlantic City to evacuate, but many residents decided to hunker down and ride out the storm.
This may prove costly as emergency responders, already occupied responding to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, could be delayed in responding to people who have stayed behind.
Water evacuations were being conducted on a case by case basis due to the quickly rising water level which will only get worse as the storm intensifies.
"The city's basically flooded," Willie Glass, Atlantic City's public safety director, told AP. "Most of the city is under water."
Hurricane Sandy is over 800 miles wide and it has been reported that its effects were being felt as far away as the Great Lakes. As the storm draws inland forecasters predict the storm gaining speed as it approaches the shore only to stall as it continues along its unusual path of the eastern coast line.
Forecaster are predicting Hurricane Sandy to affect a great portion of the eastern third of the United States for the next 24-36 hours, bringing up to 10 inches of rain and widespread flooding in some of the hardest hit areas.
"Although only a category 1 hurricane, Sandy is causing big problems for the U. S. northeastern states due to its huge size and slow movement up the U. S. East Coast," Jane Strachan, Willis Research Fellow at the University of Reading, told AP.
"Powerful winds, torrential rains and storm surges threaten states from the Carolinas to New England," she added.

Halfway through my lunch at Islamorada Fish Company, it occurs to me that this is the worst meal I've had in five years.
I've eaten a lot of breakfasts and lunches and dinners out in that time. And I've had a lot of bad ones. I've been disappointed, nauseated, poisoned, thrown out, threatened and lied to. I've been served food that I wouldn't feed my cat. I've ruined dozens of pairs of pants hiding appetizers in the pockets that I could not be coerced into eating under any circumstances.
I've had worse individual plates set before me, and even been to worse restaurants than Islamorada. But as I look at the remains of the first half of my lunch -- the gray crabcakes, the sickly sweet and rubbery coconut shrimp with their spicy orange marmalade, the water-stretched chicken-and-corn chowder -- and wonder where it can go from here, I realize that this is already the worst meal I've had since a truly unfortunate dinner at a Pappadeaux in Albuquerque half a decade ago.
Islamorada Fish Company
7970 East 49th Avenue, 720-385-3600, www.fishcompany.com.
Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily
Coconut shrimp: $7.65
Crabcakes: $6.95
Alligator: $7.65
Chowder: $3.65/4.65
Shrimp: (1 lb.) $16.65
Mussels: $9.25
Tuna: $16.25
Lobster tail: $17.95
N.Y. strip: $19.65
Pain Killer: $6.95
I make a quick check of the mental rolodex, flipping through my scattered recollections of the thousand or so restaurants I've eaten at since then, and the search comes back clean. Islamorada is it: the worst. Not by much, but by enough to make it decisive. And as I absorb this, a beatific smile spreads across my face; an aura of pure Buddha enlightenment suddenly surrounds my table. I am a creature of absolutes, after all, and it is with a light heart that I celebrate having hit bottom. Again.
Sitting here, I'm reminded of an English professor I had in college. He was a good one, the kind of guy who taught Chaucer in prison and tried to explain to gangbangers how couplets were more powerful than guns. He did standup on the side, regularly canceled classes if it was too warm, too cold, too much of a Tuesday, whatever. And, like me, the man loved his Shakespeare, and either in class or at one of Buffalo's many fine bars where we sometimes retired after class, he taught me an important thing about the enduring power of Wild Bill's work: that the reason Shakespeare's plays have lasted as long as they have -- the reason they are still read and performed today -- is because Shakespeare set the standard for our tragedies. He gave all us poor saps who came after him boundaries, extremes of human experience that could never be exceeded. His work stood as a sort of psycho-social money-back guarantee: No man alive would ever suffer more than Lear or Troilus or Hamlet, no fourteen-year-old would ever love (and die) as well as Romeo, no couple would ever bicker better than Beatrice and Benedick (though my wife and I certainly try).
Through Shakespeare, we learn limits and are given parameters by which to judge all future experiences. When people describe something as "Shakespearean," they mean it is unconditional: either the soaring apex of love or the bitter depths of calamity. They are speaking of an inarguable absolutism that delineates the margins of our experience. Beyond this line, thou shalt not cross.
Islamorada? This motherfucker is my Hamlet, this room my goddamn Birnam Wood.
Knowing that it cannot get any worse fortifies me, so when my main course arrives, I can hammer my fork through the scorched crust of sesame seeds on an otherwise ice-cold tuna steak; get past the crisscrossing Day-Glo stripes of pink and white squeeze-bottle sauces (the white a horseradishy mayo, the pink a weak, sour wasabi and pink, which is bad enough on its own) that make the fish look like some kind of insane wedding cake for chickadees; and even gum the flaccid mixed vegetables (wet lozenges of carrot, hunks of damp squash and broccoli florets that have been steamed to death but never shocked, leaving them limp and smelling of sulfurous ass) with an idiot's grin and a sense of utter peace. When my chunks of deep-fried alligator arrive, I can enjoy them for what they are, which is horrible. They taste nothing like alligator (which tastes powerfully gamey and reptilian, like taking a bite out of an iguana) and don't even taste like chicken (that old joke), but rather like Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's -- like an idea of chicken, a notion of poultry, but mostly just fryer oil and salt. They arrive with a green jalapeño dipping sauce so thick and gelatinized that it doesn't stick when I dunk my 'gator in it, so I have to spread it with a knife. The sauce tastes like jalapeño toothpaste and is the color of green hospital scrubs, an insipid shade meant to inspire calm in those who might otherwise go mad from bold colors.
Islamorada opened ten months ago in the best spot in the world for those genetically incapable of appreciating irony: inside the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World megastore in the Northfield development at Stapleton. At Outdoor World, you can buy a boat. Or a fishing pole. Or a ridiculous hat. Or a shotgun. Basically, you can buy anything you need for killing any living thing on the planet, from bacteria to bull elephants, and shop for your heart's desire in an environment already filled with things that have been previously killed by other people. The massive front entrance is festooned with horns and antlers, like the hunting lodge of a giant in Nordic myth. And inside, everywhere you look, something dead and taxidermied is looking back at you. There are moose and bears and squirrels and possums and chipmunks and birds and more bears and deer and more moose. There are mountain lions leaping from rocky ledges and snakes among the stones. The dead critters have all been posed and set up in dioramas that approximate their natural habitat -- say, a two-story fake waterfall and fish tank rising beside a Starbucks -- and quotes about hunting and fishing and nature festoon the walls. My favorite: "In wilderness is the preservation of the world," by Thoreau, posted right on the wall near the elevator that takes you to the second floor, where they keep all the guns.
Islamorada is accessible from inside the store or through its own entrance. The restaurant is huge. The waiting area is huge. The gazebo-like main dining room is huge, with seating for several hundred under the soaring dome over the enormous central fireplace, with a copper chimney as tall as a cutter's mainmast and support pillars made of whole tree trunks. The bathrooms -- painted with palm trees and waving ferns, so I feel like I've just stepped away from my fishing camp for a moment to piss directly on nature -- are huge. And there are huge amounts of fish everywhere: paintings of fish and pictures of fish, and actual (dead) fish mounted, hanging from a false ceiling painted to look like waves seen from below, squirming from the walls, frozen in positions of rigor, leaping and struggling and straining for a surface that they'll never see. Enormous sharks and marlin and sword and tarpon depend from cables bolted to the rafters. A creepy brass sea monster with dead eyes and big teeth is bolted to the rail that separates the bar from the dining room. And behind the bar, a massive fish tank holds actual (live) fish -- which, I can only imagine, must be fucking horrified.
According to my research (reading the little blurb on the inside fold of the menu), Islamorada began back in the 1940s as a small snack bar and fish restaurant attached to a bait store on the pier in Key West. It was popular with the locals, the kind of place where you would go to eat conch fritters while the sun went down and watch the guides come in with their wells full of gaffed tarpon and bludgeoned permit.
Now Islamorada is a chain of seafood restaurants attached like lampreys to the fat flanks of Bass Pro shops in several states (with more on the way), restaurants that all claim to be "As Fresh As You Can Get" -- a conceit so unconscionably ludicrous that I refuse to even make fun of it. At the Islamorada in this landlocked city, you can get New England clam chowder with no hint of clam flavor and Maryland crabcakes made with lump blue crab turned gray by freezing. You can order skillets full of black mussels, which are walked proudly around the dining room, sizzling on their platters and trailing a fog of steam like the contrail of a jet plane loaded with shellfish and garlic going down hard. You can bite into Reubens made with grouper, grouper portofino (blackened and topped with shrimp), elk steaks and buffalo burgers and shrimp and grits done Southern style. And all of it is awful, presented like it was die-stamped from fish-flavored cardboard, cooked for a dumb-money demographic willing to drop a hundred bucks on a dinner for two that could be better prepared from the freezer case at King Soopers.
And yet, huge as it is and bland as it is and hokey as it is, Islamorada is also hugely busy. Look online and you will see people who plan their vacations around visits to various locations. Ask a server how business has been and she'll just laugh, gesture around at the full floor and say, "How do you think?"

On a Saturday afternoon, I have to wait for the privilege of having my worst meal -- a half-hour I spend browsing through the boats, poking at taxidermied beavers and waiting for my greasy blue Islamorada pager to go off. When I return for dinner on a Monday, I sneak a look at the hostess book and see that I'm getting one of the last three available tables. And when I call a few days later, I'm simply told not to come on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. They don't take reservations, the hostess tells me, and the wait can be an hour for a table on a Saturday night. Sometimes two.
Food aside, I'm impressed by the systems that underlie operations here, the way Islamorada can serve so many people, turn so many tables, and still keep the place from descending into utter chaos every night. In the kitchen, the menu is broken down to pictograms -- photographs of each ideal plate hung up over the line as a ready reference. There are expo lines at the pass, waitress stations set up every 25 feet or so around the periphery of the dining room so that no server ever has to wait to run a check. There are times when I count nearly twenty servers on the floor, plus floor managers who are really more like casino pit bosses, with headsets on and their eyes seeing everything. The hostess stand is double-staffed, the bar triple. And because it's so well thought out, the service is good. It's friendly. My waitresses remember my name (my assumed name, anyhow) and seem to really want me to have a good time.
It helps that on my second visit, I trade the warm root beer I'd had at that first lunch for something off the specialty drink menu called a "Pain Killer," which feels appropriate. Seven bucks brings me a weak rum-and-fruit-juice concoction sprinkled with nutmeg and garnished with fruit stuck on a tiny plastic sword. Twenty-one bucks kills most of my pain. I order all the top-end items, going for a pound of steamed shrimp not so much seasoned as buried in Old Bay, a New York strip done bloody-rare, a baked potato drooling butter and sour cream, and a lobster tail with drawn butter. The steak is choice, stringy, without the smoothness of a good marble to hold the flavor together. It tastes of grill char and water-thinned blood and salt, like the steaks I ate when I was a kid and didn't judge every bite against a thousand steaks gone before. Plain, the lobster tail -- frozen, thawed, cooked hard and served tough -- tastes like textured air, like breath. Drenched in butter, it tastes like butter -- which is the flavor most people think of when they think of lobster anyhow.
Sadly, it is not the worst meal I've ever had. It cannot top the tragedy of my lunch two days before. Which means it is just another meal, one soon to be consigned to that mental rolodex and deservedly forgotten.

I chose one of the more "stylish" swimsuits (there are plenty of solid color options), and loved the look of the suit. The little lavender pleats were adorable, the halterneck style is cute and well-cut, and it's just generally a cute little suit for romping around on the beach. I wore mine with a big straw hat and big sunglasses, and felt awesome
Overall, I really loved this suit and how it made me feel - I didn't miraculously transform into a thinner woman, but i confidently walk around in the suit without feeling self-conscious under the public gaze. That alone is a summertime miracle!

Impact of globalization on Spatial Price Linkages in chillies: Empirical analysis using Cointegration Test
Till recently, international trade in chillies was dominated by India. However, the exports from the country has come down considerably as China has emerged as a principal exporter of chillies. Chilli exports from India are mostly to Sri Lanka, USA, Nepal, Mexico and Bangladesh. India has immense potential to grow and export different types of chillies required by various markets around the world. India today faces stiff competition from China and Pakistan who offer their produce in international market at very competitive price. The reason may be that the prices of our chillies are too high for international markets on account of strong domestic demand. Sannam variety of chillies is in demand in importing countries. Buyers expect a high degree of hygiene and sanitation in processing and preparing chillies for export. Aflatoxin and pesticide residues are the two important problems which act as constraints in increasing chilli exports to importing countries. The recent rejection of the consignment of chillies by certain European Union countries and Australia on the grounds of Aflatoxin and pesticide residues poses a serious threat to chilli exports. Though spices form an integral part of Indian food, Indian chilies are yet to enhance their share in total spices export. The central focus of the present paper is to address two interrelated issues of chillies – the extent of co-movement of chilli prices in the domestic and world markets and the bearing of WTO measures on the extent of transmission of world prices to the domestic markets.

For a Levittown, N.Y., man, potholes became more than just an annoyance four years ago when one damaged his car. Since then, the limo driver has taken it upon himself to fill some of road hazards he sees around town.
With a shovel and sand, Bobby Fitzgerald at least temporarily fills the holes, feeling that the Hempstead road crew, which is in charge of filling potholes in his town, isn't getting around to it fast enough, Newsday out of Long Island reported.
"We're paying taxes for these people to get out there and do what's got to be done. They don't want to do it," Fitzgerald told the newspaper.
"It's just gotten worse. I do it for the community," he continued.
But officials say they don't want Fitzgerald to take this task on himself.
"Individuals should not endanger themselves by trying to fill in potholes themselves," Dennis Dunne Sr., a Nassau legislator (R-Levittown), told Newsday, citing an app the county has to report potholes as an outlet for Fitzgerald. "Instead, please report the pothole locations to the local municipality."
Hempstead spokesman Mike Deery defended the town as filling potholes in Fitzgerald's community in a timely fashion, noting that several have been filled in Levittown in the last couple weeks. After potholes are reported, Deery told Newsday it takes about seven days for crews to get around to filling them.
"We have a highway crew that is trained to fill potholes and that is their responsibility," Deery said. "We believe they do a very good job."
Fitzgerald's neighbor Joseph Pica told Newsday he didn't realize he was filling potholes but said Fitzgerald is a man who "tries to help the neighbors."
Even though he has been asked to stop, Fitzgerald has not been cited by the authorities for filling the holes.
This isn't the first time citizens have taken it upon themselves to patch up potholes. Last summer a man from Jackson, Miss., was dubbed the "Pothole Robin Hood" for his actions, which involved stealing the city's asphalt, filling holes and leaving a spray painted "citizen fixed" message nearby.

FIAT 500 earns IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award
The Fiat 500, a minicar introduced by Chrysler in the U.S. market for the 2012 model year, earns the Institute's top safety award for good performance in front, side, rollover, and rear impact evaluations, and for having electronic stability control as standard equipment.
The award applies to 500s built after July 2011 because the driver's seat structure was modified to improve occupant protection in both frontal and rear-end crashes.
The 500 along with the Ford Fiesta are the only minicars to earn the TOP SAFETY PICK designation.

Siemens says their location, only four hours from Auckland International Airport, creates part of the draw. But the real attraction of this free-range property is that the deer have access to the refuge in neighboring Tongariro National Park, which helps maintain the availability of trophy-class animals.
Siemens has recommended Aotearoa Safaris to several friends, who have also come away happy. On his most recent trip he was hunting with Dave Manson (of Manson Precision Reamers). They only had a few days to spend with Aotearoa, as they were using the rest of their time in New Zealand to do some self-guided hunting in the area. (More on that later.) Nonetheless, they both came away with two "very good, silver-class" stags. (See photo in our online Trophy Snapshots.) Siemens says the game abundance is normally awesome, but that weather made this hunt a bit more challenging this time. He says the difficulty of the shots varies depending on the thickness of the bush. The two he and Manson took were on the edge of a clearing and headed back in. Only one was visible when Manson fired and brought his stag down at about 125 yards. The second took off at the shot, and Siemens felled it at about 200 yards.........(continued)

Fish gelatine gaining in importance – but remains niche
Gelatine is used as a beverage clarifier, for thickening desserts, yoghurts and sauces; coating meats and topping pastries; and in confectionery and food foams. But the potential for this versatile animal-derived ingredient is restricted by religious and vegetarian lifestyle dietary choices, and in Europe, BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) also crippled demand, despite industry's efforts to convince consumers that fears about gelatine safety were unfounded.
According to market research firm Global Industry Analysts (GIA), the need to meet kosher (Jewish) and halal (Muslim) standards has boosted the importance of fish gelatine on global markets, although the market remains niche compared to mammal-derived gelatines.
However, interest in the ingredient's potential has attracted increased attention in recent years, as researchers aim to overcome problems associated with using fish gelatine as an alternative to mammalian gelatine. In addition, using fish skin for food-grade gelatine could provide a useful (and profitable) outlet for waste products from fish.
Gelling temperature challenge
The main difference between traditional bovine or porcine gelatine and fish gelatine is amino acid makeup, which gives fish gelatine a lower gelling temperature. The temperature at which fish gelatine gels and melts also depends on the fish species – with cold water fish gelatine gelling and melting at lower temperatures – and this affects flavour release as well as the functionality of finished products.
Malaysian scientists, in a study in Food Hydrocolloids, suggested that warm water fish therefore may present the greatest promise for replacing mammalian gelatine. However, they wrote that scaling up the extraction process while ensuring consistent quality remained a challenge for processors.
Specific fish species
Earlier this year, Thai researchers backed the use of giant catfish and tilapia skin in a study that found the resulting gelatine had greater foaming, fat binding and water holding capacity than bovine gelatine, although lower emulsifying activity. This is just one among many emerging studies looking to characterise the functional properties of specific fish species with a view to more consistent results in use.
Apart from the selection of fish species, researchers have also explored mixing fish gelatine with other hydrocolloids or salts to improve their gelling and melting point properties – with mixed results.
However, despite the challenges, researchers and market specialists alike remain convinced that there is much wider potential for fish gelatine in foods and beverages. GIA has estimated that the global gelatine market will reach 395.84 thousand metric tons by 2017, with rising standards of living in China and India in particular promoting non-mammalian sources.

Pelosi on New GI Bill: We're Going to Say Thank You to Our Veterans by Sending Them to College'
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other bipartisan Members of Congress participated in a rally at the Capitol this afternoon to support the 21st Century GI Bill, which provides a four-year college scholarship to veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bipartisan legislation has 58 co-sponsors in the Senate and 249 co-sponsors in the House, as well as the endorsements of the nation's leading veterans' organizations Below are the Speaker's remarks:
"Thank you very much, Senator Webb, for your words of welcome and for your leadership on this important legislation.
"What a great day this is. Here we are, in a bipartisan way, demonstrating the unity that we all have to support our veterans. We're here with the clearest demonstration of the responsibility of one generation to the next. When Matthew [Boulay] was talking about the original GI Bill of Rights signed in 1944 by President Roosevelt, I learned from our veteran service organizations that that bill was the product of the thinking of the veterans of World War I. And they saw what they missed and they knew what they wanted to have for that next generation.
"And this GI Bill is the product of many veteran service organizations, veterans across our country knowing what we need to have for this generation, over a million and a half of whom have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I want to acknowledge the fact that the student veterans that are here are benefiting from the activism of our VSOs who have served in former conflicts.
"The original GI Bill launched millions of families on a course of prosperity and toward achieving the American Dreamand set the American economy on the right course after a draining war. We can strengthen the middle class again with a new 21st Century GI Bill.
"Leave no veteran behind,' the button says. Following up on what the military says on the battlefield, On the battlefield, we will leave no soldier behind.' And when they come home, we will leave no veteran behind.
"I want to thank Senator Webb for his leadership, and from the House, Congressman Harry Mitchell, our colleague from Arizona for his outstanding leadership, and Representatives Bobby Scott of Virginia and Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida, who are here. Bob Filner, who is not, the Chair of the Veterans Committee, but a leader on this issue and Chet Edwards as well.
"We are all here today to make and renew the commitment we have made to our veterans. This legislation is wise; it has consensus; it brings us together in a bipartisan way, and we are definitely going to leave no veteran behind. We're going to say thank you to our veterans by sending them to college. Thank for the honor of participating."

Release of debt.
Go to the small claims dept in the county that you were served notice to pay. The clerk in that county will help you find a solution to getting a satisfactory release for the amount you paid off.. If it was filed in a certain county, the clerk and recorders office should have a record of it . You may have to get a lawyer to go after the company that will not give you a legal release!
Good luck, but place it in their lap to respond and not keep you hostage!

First try writing letters
Sounds to me that they do not have the legal right to collect this account. They are only being paid to harass you. They can not offer you a written agreement because they do not own the debt.
If it has not yet been sent to collections, You may want to contact the landloard directly and just pay it and be done with it. it seems like to small of an amount to risk your credit over.
If it has been sent to collections, then the original landloard no longer has the right to collect. Write the collections company asking that they only contact you by mail. (which they can not legally refuse) Talking on the phone will get you empty promises and does not work in your favor. The people at that level are not authorized to make that kind of agreement, you would ususally have to talk to a supervisor. You always want a paper trail so that there is a clear understanding of whats going to hapen. Make the offer to pay if they will remove the account from your report, and only pay when they give you an written agreement. If they refuse to remove the derogitory remarks, which they can do, you will end up having to pay anyway but you will have tried.
A validation letter sent to the Credit bureau might get them off your back as well. Google "Validation Letter" for a template. It requires them to prove that they have the legal right to collect the account. If they can't prove that they do they will have to stop.
Good luck

Whoops: W.H. press pool gets in Romney van
An amusing media mix-up from the post-debate White House press pool report:
Motorcade is rolling from the debate venue at 8.39 pm.
In an amusing moment, poolers were sitting in the Press One van outside the debate hall and the driver said "I think that Romney did real good." There was a moment of baffled silence, before our steno , Bec, put two and two together and said "guys we are in the Romney van." Blind panic then ensued as we piled out the van and sprinted towards the correct motorcade, which was parked right in front of Romney's. Disaster was narrowly averted.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Sampath Chawla is a complete disappointment to his family. He is born during a torrential rainstorm, in Shahkot, India, to a mother whom the neighbours find thoroughly odd. Nothing but trouble from the start, he disgraces himself at a wedding party, loses his job at the local post office and runs away from home to take refuge in the guava orchard, at the top of a guava tree. There he is mistaken for a holy man and seer when he reveals intimate secrets about the local inhabitants (gleaned from reading their mail in idle moments at the post office). His father can see there is money, at last, to be made from his idle son and sets about doing so with determination. A local journalist, however, is equally determined to unmask him. Although Desai writes with considerable flair, employing an inventive style of English reminiscent of a line of Indian authors from Salman Rushdie to Arundhati Roy, there is something tiresome about this relentlessly perky comedy, and one has a slight suspicion that the European reader is being hoodwinked with fashionable pastiche.

I have cut the papers using a diecut-paper as a template. Then I used Zutter Distress-it-all on the edges and finally painted with some gesso and texture paste. I have used Want2Scrap's and Donna's Brick stencil, which I totally adore - can't live without it! I also used Spellbinder's Wonderful Wings dies and Want2Scrap's and Donna's beautiful Wonderful Wings bling. I love butterflies, so I had to use all the dies. I have painted some of the butterflies with white paint, layered some and used the bling on some. I love how this flower&butterfly cluster came out!
The Natural Beauty chipboard alpha was inked with Mix'd Media Inx, colors chiffon and schoolhouse. I used these inx on the edges of my papers too. TFL!!

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
An analysis by the Center on Policy Initiatives of 2007 U.S. Census Bureau data shows that households of people of Asian extraction had the highest median income in the county: $75,686. In second place were whites at $70,486. Lagging were Hispanics at $45,540 and African-Americans at $44,662. Asians have many high-powered tech jobs in San Diego County and around the U.S. The median household income for the county was $61,794, up only 1 percent, adjusted for inflation, from 2006. Inflation-adjusted median annual earnings at $31,919 were down 1 percent. The poverty rate was 11.1 percent, and 45.1 percent of adults living below the federal poverty threshold were working full-time or part-time. The highest poverty rate was in El Cajon, 20.6 percent. Closely following were San Marcos at 14.5 percent and Vista at 14.1. Household income continued to be distributed in an unbalanced way. The richest 20 percent had 49 percent of the income. The lowest 20 percent had 4 percent.
Asia is too diverse to simply say Asian. If someone calls my wife Asian, she specifies "South Asian." I personally believe what counts is family and community to education.
Response to posts #5: You apparently are mainly a nurture person. I believe nature is most important, but nurture is a close second. Best, Don Bauder
Oops: "family and community committment to education."
Very interesting numbers-especially the full time workers who live in poverty (45%).
Don, this link to excess is a special present from me to you-enjoy (PS-can you beleiev it??)!
One walk around any local college, say UCSD, and it's easy to see why Asians make more money. They get good grades, they stay in school, they stay out of trouble, they stay out of debt.
Response to post #1: The 45.1 percent figure refers to those working both full-time and part-time. I listened to the Cowboys owner make his maudlin presentation. I felt nauseous and had to turn it off. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #2: Amen. Some say they have another advantage: they are smarter than other ethnic groups, particularly in math. I'm sure this will incur the wrath of some readers. I am not a racist, but I do believe a large percentage of Asians are blessed with high intelligence. Best, Don Bauder
From what I have read the brain is amazingly plastic. Nurture or its absence is key.
Response to post #8: A lot of well-informed people believe in the tabula rasa concept. I don't, but I'm no expert in the field. Best, Don Bauder
Don, have you read The Blank Slate by Pinker? The best debunking of the tabula rasa theory I've seen.
Response to post #10: I have a lot of reading to catch up on, but that one sounds compelling. Best, Don Bauder

Almost fifty years after Tomorrow Is The Question!, piano-less quartets are still somewhat de rigeur in creative music. Two outfits, vastly different in approach, have recently been documented by Lisbon-based label Clean Feed: Transit, a New York cooperative ostensibly directed by drummer Jeff Arnal, and the Portuguese-American quartet of bassist Zé Eduardo and trumpeter (and Mingus alumnus) Jack Walrath.
Clean Feed
Transit, both in the cover art featuring lines of ants and the composition titles reflecting MTA stops, is a take on the familiar sense of improvisation as physical movement. Arnal, bassist Reuben Radding, trumpeter Nate Wooley and altoist Seth Misterka (a Braxton associate) make their way through the turnstiles of ten collective improvisations, most coming in under eight minutes, on this 2001 recording.
The quartet's music is frequently sparse and evaporative; the fact that group playing is often broken down into solos and duets has brought comparisons with FMP and Incus-styled European groups (as if either of those two organisations had so easily classifiable a "style ). Of course, Transit just plays music; there is a strong pliability to these pieces, as even the most up-tempo numbers are stretched in several directions at once. These are not so much plastic improvisationsthey're more like metal and wood being taken to the brink of fluidity, and this is what separates Transit from most free-bop dates.
The opener, "Courtelyou Q, begins with burning, loose swing, Radding's monstrous thrum and crisp-yet-gritty intonation reminiscent of forebears Grimes, Kowald and Duvalin other words, he's hugely propulsive. Misterka's alto has the soulful keen and cracked glass of a young Byard Lancaster (see also "Red Hook ), while Wooley's deft and brittle smears wheel around the ensemble. "Van Brunt is a ballad of harmonics and subtle wash, Misterka's whole-tone soliloquy offering the gorgeous sheen of Trevor Watts (a la "Prayer For Peace ). The piece builds into a liquid vamp, a conversation of wide-vibrato alto and full, fat trumpet hooking a ride aboard Arnal and Radding's wave.
Nooks of loose rustle fill "Sabbath Siren, while "Brick City Part 1 offers tumbling blocks of rhythm and jagged alto/trumpet collisions. Wooley sounds here like Braxton-era Kenny Wheeler, though the music is decidedly rougher and its threads hang at the edges. Similar single-note motifs pepper "Part 2," though Radding and Arnal pull in several different directions. Mass is certainly capital in this ensembleRadding's bass is full of it, of course, and as the group approaches true density in its improvisations (as they do on the vicious "Der Blatt ) the quartet is imbued with a manic largesse.
Ze Eduardo/Jack Walrath Quartet
Bad Guys
Clean Feed
It's been almost thirty years since trumpeter Jack Walrath recorded with Mingus in two of the bassist-composer's most significant post-Dolphy dates, the celebrated Changes set for Atlantic with tenor man George Adams and pianist Don Pullen. After a few big band recordings and a significant hiatus, Walrath has returned to the small group fold with Bad Guys, a collaboration with the Zé Eduardo Trio featuring tenor man Jesus Santandreu and drummer Marc Miralta (who apparently has replaced Bruno Pedroso in the drum chair). The quartet runs through seven originals by members of the group and, naturally, a Mingus piece, "Sue's Changes (central to the Changes sessions, as it is here).
"Simian Spring Song finds Eduardo holding a triple-time motif underneath the easy swing-song theme. Santandreu has quickly become a post-bop tenor saxophone favorite of mine; here he takes a Coltrane keen and digs his heels in almost as though he was cut from Texas or South Chicago cloth. His showing is as strong as on the Eduardo trio's A Jazzar No Zeca (Clean Feed, 2005). Walrath is in fine form, as a classy sheen imbues his liquid phrases with the feel of economy. "Birds Fly Free starts with collective hollering and a stop-time theme out of which Walrath pulls more than a few Booker Little-isms.
Even in the most somber of settings, Walrath has always been a bright, steely player, so it's a testament to the suppleness of this group that no member cuts through any more than any otherthe feel is that of a truly collective ensemble. There is something definitely Mingus-like in the woody ostinatos of "Novissisms, though this comparison is informed by developments in free musicEduardo is no revivalist. Walrath's "Bazaar" is a Moorish near-tango, Miralta building impressive floes to conduct some of Santandreu and Walrath's finest statements on the album.
Liberated, cooperative playing and tightly-swinging, melodic music are not independent approaches, and Zé Eduardo and his compatriots have found a perfect niche.

The Bottom Line
A revolutionary energy technology has been invented that could change our society in very positive ways. It could replace nuclear and fossil fuels. It is non-polluting and safe. This technology is currently held in dispute, even labelled as fraudulent and unscientific. It's main protagonist (there are other companies and universities working on this) is a fellow called Andrea Rossi. He is an Italian and spent time in prison - a fact oft quoted by his detractors. However some researchers have shown that this is because his energy business at the time stepped on the toe's of the local Mafia and that he was in fact unjustifiably imprisoned (see the book An Impossible Invention).
Introduction: Misinformation, cynicism and "too good to be true";
1. The big boys have invested billions in hot fusion research so anything that really is "cold" fusion "on the cheap" (explained below) is going to get some serious scorn from them.
2. "Cold Fusion was not discovered in 1989". The year the Berlin Wall came down, remember ? Many scientists could not replicate the results, but many could. They have been having conferences ever since ( see ICCF-19 ).
3. Constructive criticism is good. Scepticism is also healthy. However some discount things such as this out of hand despite the evidence. If there really is a technology here then it would be very sad to miss it. If there isn't then we can all learn something, move on and maybe something else will be discovered ... "Optimism Captain !".
What is "Cold" Fusion, LENR and the E-Cat;
Cold fusion describes a form of energy generated when hydrogen interacts with various metals like nickel and palladium. Cold fusion is a field of condensed matter nuclear science CMNS, and is also called low-energy nuclear reactions LENR, lattice-assisted nuclear reactions LANR, nickel-hydrogen exothermic reactions Ni-H, and quantum fusion.
When hydrogen, the main element of water, is introduced to a small piece of the metal nickel or palladium, a reaction occurs that can create excess heat and transmutation products. Excess heat means more heat comes out of the system than went in to the system. LENR provides an ultra-clean source of energy that creates heat to make hot water and useful steam. Steam can turn a turbine to produce electricity.
Cold fusion devices can produce so much heat, it is more than can be accounted for by chemical means, and therefore must be generated by a nuclear source. But cold fusion is not like today's dirty and dangerous nuclear power.
No radioactive materials are used in cold fusion. LANR occurs as the tiny protons, neutrons and electrons of hydrogen interact, releasing energy slowly, through heat and photons, without the dangerous radiation associated with conventional nuclear reactions, and cold fusion makes no radioactive waste.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. On Earth, hydrogen is found in water. An energy source from hydrogen is clean, with no carbon-dioxide CO2 emissions. In LENR reactions, only tiny amounts of the hydrogen are consumed and the metal is recyclable when spent.
Transmutation occurs when one element is transformed, or transmuted, to another element. The creation of elements by transmutation has been the dream of alchemists for millenia. Now, new energy scientists are able to create new elements in their labs using LENR techniques. Research has shown that radioactive materials can be transmuted to benign elements, promising a path to ridding the planet of thousands of tons of radioactive waste.
What is LENR?
LENR stands for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions — and refers to the phenomenon where anomalous amounts of heat are created when certain metals (e.g. nickel, palladium) absorb hydrogen or deuterium and an external stimulus such as heat or an electric current is applied. The reaction takes place at relatively low temperature and sometimes results in transmutation of elements as well as the production of heat. Either no strong radiation is produced or it is absorbed locally. The waste products are not radioactive. This phenomenon is also referred to as Cold Fusion, LANR (lattice assisted nuclear reaction), as well as other terms.
Modern interest in LENR began in 1989 when scientists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced they had succeeded in generating nuclear reactions in laboratory experiments. This announcement sparked much interest in the media and in the scientific community, with many researchers attempting replicate the effect in their own experiments — many without success. The effect is not always easy to replicate, particularly as the preparation of the metal was critical and it sometimes took weeks for anomalous heat to appear. When the effect has been obtained it can also be difficult to control.
There are many theories about what causes this heat effect, but none has been widely accepted or definitively proven.
There are many attempts going on at the moment by various parties to be able to replicate and control the LENR effect. Several companies are now working on commercial products with claims of producing kW of power as heat. Andrea Rossi's E-Cat invention has received a lot of attention because he was the first to publicly demonstrate his device and it has now been independently tested and validated by seven scientists, funded by the Swedish R&D organization Elforsk, demonstrating at least ten times the energy of any known chemical reaction and showing that the E-Cat is capable of producing useful heat.
Various claims are for a Coefficient of Performance (COP) from 6 to over 30 (meaning between 6 and 30 times more energy is produced than is input into a system). Even at the low end such a device would make obsolete virtually all other ways of producing power. High temperature, more efficient designs would be suitable for powering transport, even aircraft, although this would probably take decades. This promise of inexpensive, safe, clean power is why many are now following the subject.
What is the E-Cat?
E-Cat stands for "energy catalyzer" and is a device in which hydrogen gas, powdered nickel metal, and undisclosed proprietary catalysts are combined to produce a large amount of heat through a little understood low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) process inside a specially designed chamber. The inner workings of the reactor are covered by a trade secret which Rossi consistently refuses to discuss.
In this process, when an external heat source is applied (Electric or fossil) to the reaction chamber, large amounts of thermal energy (heat) are produced, much more than could be accounted for from chemical reactions. From reports of tests, it appears that the reaction begins when the reactor is heated to around 60 degrees Celsius, and once the reaction is stable, the external heat can be turned off and the reaction can continue for a considerable length of time. In an October 6th test in Bologna, Italy, the E-Cat ran without external heat (referred to as 'self-sustain mode) for almost four hours, maintaining a constant temperature and boiling water continuously.
Initially, Rossi and Focardi believed, and stated that the heat was generated because the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, a proton, penetrated a nickel nucleus and in doing so a nickel atom became a copper atom. Now Rossi states that while transmutation does take place, it is more of a side effect, and the core effect is caused by some undisclosed mechanism. Rossi says he has a firm understanding of what is taking place, but will not disclose his theory until he has patent protection.
What we potentially have here is something straight out the pages of Star Trek. This technology reminds me of the Warp Drive and the message in Star Trek of having to solve social problems before Warp Drive is developed. Warp Drive is an analogy for Nuclear Power and weapons. This kind of conceptualisation also turns up in other Star Trek episodes like the early Voyager one where they encounter a society that destroyed themselves with some kind of Nuclear like energy, as well as episodes like the Omega Directive where an energy is literally too dangerous to handle.
In the real world ... Cold Fusion / LENR /E-Cat appears to be the maturation of Nuclear power from its potentially deadly form to something much more elegant involving transmutation between elements. Breakthroughs in Physics that could come from LENR could one day enable technologies like the replicator ... after all if you can change a substance from one element to the other then you have a way of creating materials ... and if you can "3D print" those materials ... well that's a long way off, or is it ?
In the mean time this is potentially at least a clean energy technology like the heat exchangers in some buildings that take up ambient heat from the environment ... but much more game changing.

Before planning your event, develop goals for your program. Determine your audience, goals of the event, and specific objectives for the program. Once your general plan has been established, make an appointment to meet with the Director of Events to discuss your plans.
Next, begin to delegate responsibility to plan the details. Be sure to discuss the event with your organization members and have assigned roles and responsibilities
Select a date to hold an event keeping in mind the following factors: Faculty Events, Class Schedule, Day of the Week, Holidays and Breaks, Planning Time (for promotion, facilities requests, etc.)
Reserve the room. Because the facilities at the law school are in constant demand, it is essential to reserve space well in advance (sometimes a semester) of the program date. Be sure that space is available before agreeing to sponsor an event. Megan Jacobs 610 519-7053 firstname.lastname@example.com oversees room scheduling for the law school.
The Events Office can help with your group's catering needs. In most cases, Villanova's University Catering will be used for events within the Law School.
If the Events office approves an external catering company in special circumstances for your event; the caterer must present a Certificate of Insurance to the Events office three days before the event takes place.
You are encouraged to contact the Events Office for catering ideas. Groups do not need to contact the events office for pizza, burritos, soda, etc. Please be realistic about your food/catering selections based upon the funds allocated/ available. Not all events require catering to be successful. If you do not have enough funds, the events office may not be able to meet your needs.
Groups from outside the Law School may reserve or rent space in the Law School on a case-by-case basis only; external requests should be directed to the Events Office at email@example.com or (610)519.7066

Yeah, this is bad. Aaron Ramsey's right ankle pretty much disintegrates right before your eyes after being taken out by "X-rated Ryan Shawcross" whatever that means.
And to add to the spooky factor, the same thing happened to Arsene's Eduardo two years ago almost on the very same day, which still haunts people's dreams. Arsenal should maybe stop playing during the last week of February from now on because two players with broken legs near the same day is just too many and too freaky in that 1408-type of way.
That was a short, uninspired day, but that's what you get during the last weekend in February. It'll pick up soon, because if we don't, we'll all be out of a job soon and end up working for the Village Voice. They treat weekends seriously around here from now on. No more posting between naps and eating a Di Parma sandwich the size of a scuba tank.
Thanks for your continued support of Deadspin. Barry will be here tomorrow to boost the post count.
Be well, non-believers.

Quote from 15 Sophisticated Pond Inspirations That Create a Description - Part 1 :
The resolution to position a pond within is doubtless a major one. No doubt you also your family had been toying with a few pond inspirations for some time previously eventually resolving to convey the leap. Nevertheless, presently that you've all reached a consensus, it may look like your resolution‐creating process boasts only just started.
The truth is, when you are positioning within a pond, there's so much further to contemplate than just the initial pit within the ground. For untold years to arrive, your pond room would assist as a origin of delight, a spot to amuse your family with companions, plus, of course a slackening oasis aside from the worry of everyday existence. It's only natural that you will desire the whole area to circulate jointly as one cohesive together with aesthetically pleasing component.

Ganymede, Greek Ganymēdēs, Latin Ganymedes, or Catamitus, in Greek legend, the son of Tros (or Laomedon), king of Troy. Because of his unusual beauty, he was carried off either by the gods or by Zeus, disguised as an eagle, or, according to a Cretan account, by Minos, to serve as cupbearer. In compensation, Zeus gave Ganymede's father a stud of immortal horses (or a golden vine). The earliest forms of the myth have no erotic content, but by the 5th century bc it was believed that Ganymede's kidnapper had a homosexual passion for him; Ganymede's kidnapping was a popular topic on 5th-century Attic vases. The English word catamite was derived from the popular Latin form of his name. He was later identified with the constellation Aquarius.
