text:
Two poets of high repute, Matthew Sweeney and John Hartley Williams, have written a hilarious satire on the claustrophobic world of poetry, its bitter rivalries bubbling under the cover of polite support, its jockeying for recognition and the relentless round of poetry workshops with their accompanying sexual flings. The book begins with the well known laureate, Fergus Diver, dying in agony after a meal in an Indian restaurant. Bad hygiene? Or something more sinister? Victor Priest, art detective, is asked by Diver's widow to investigate. He hires a young man and his Glaswegian girl-friend to help. This couple must rank as one of the funniest creations in detective fiction.
A series of murders follows, all of well known poets, an Irish poet is thrown into the sea by an elegant blonde who claims to be an obituarist; an English poetess is assassinated in the cupola of the Reichstag, a Scottish poet dies in agony on an island. What is remarkable about these deaths is that the poets are being murdered in a way that reflects the style of their poems. The entire literary world is in uproar.
A car bomb discovered in Victor Priest's car provides the answer to the riddle, and a desperate confrontation takes place in a moonlit bay along the southern coast of England.

'Death Comes for the Poets, is a real delight, tipping its cap towards Agatha Christie and recent Nordic crime fiction. There's an element of hoax and pastiche about this book, an hilarious black comedy which spoofs the current poetry scene with merciless satire and savage perception. Matthew Sweeney and John Hartley Williams must have had a lot of fun putting this book together. Poets are being murdered in a variety of bizarre but "appropriate" situations - the opening chapter partly staged in a Maidstone Indian restaurant sets the scene with grotesque humour - and an organisation known as Artcrimes, run by the suave and sophisticated closet poet Victor Priest, swings into action. London lad about town Joe Biggs and his Scottish girlfriend Naily Dunbar are brought in to help and there's also a strange comic book hero, Bard Slayer, to further complicate the plot.'
'Death Comes For The Poets is a cleverly plotted, well-written, entertaining and outrageously comic novel, at once roman-a-clef and spoof roman noir, in which the poets Matthew Sweeney and John Hartley Williams arrange for condign deaths to be visited on a number of poets who are, as it were, brought to book in the novel's closing pages: an anthology which, in offering examples of each dead writer's work, proves to be a not-always distorting mirror of current poetic styles.'
Matthew Sweeney has published nine collections of poetry, two of which were short listed for the TS Eliot Prize, and one for the Forward Prize. He has also published three collections of poetry for children. A selected poems came out from Cape in 2002, and in 2010 Salt published The Night Post: A New Selection. His most recent collection was Black Moon (Cape, 2007), and a new collection, Horse Music, is forthcoming from Bloodaxe early in 2013. He has edited or co-edited a number of poetry anthologies, including, with Jo Shapcott, Emergency Kit: Poems for Strange Times (Faber, 1996).
John Hartley Williams has published twelve full collections of poetry, two of which were short listed for the TS Eliot Prize. His most recent publications are: Assault on the Clouds, Shoestring Press, 2012; Less of That W Or I'll Z You! Surrealist Editions (Leeds), 2011; Hex Wheels, Hans van Ejk at the Bonnefant Press, Holland, 2011; A Poetry Inferno, Shoestring Press, 2011; Café des Artistes. Jonathan Cape, 2009. In 2010 he published a collection of Berlin poems to mark the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall: Outpost Theatre. (The Bonnefant Press, Holland). A reader-friendly guide to the writing of poetry called Teach Yourself Poetry, co-written with Matthew Sweeney, is now available in a third (revised) edition from Hodder.

Glasgow hope to install artificial pitch at Scotstoun
Glasgow have unveiled plans to install an artificial pitch at their Scotstoun home in time for the start of next season.
Warriors have endured serious problems with the drainage on their current grass surface in recent years.
Heavy rainfall forced the former Guinness Pro12 champions to cancel four games last season as the pitch failed to cope with the deluge.
The club were forced to stage three of those rearranged fixtures at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park and after being impressed by the 4G surface laid there, Warriors chiefs have now decided to introduce their own.
Councillors from Glasgow City Council - who own Scotstoun - will vote on the proposals this week.
The plans also include measures to improve athletics and rugby training facilities, create a new area for throwing events and improve the existing outdoor running track.
By opting to go artificial, Glasgow will follow the lead of Cardiff Blues, Saracens and Newcastle Falcons, and v eteran wing Sean Lamont has backed the decision.
He said: " We've played on Kilmarnock's pitch a few times and when its wet it's a great surface, especially for the style we want to play at Glasgow.
"We're all about fast, top-of-the-ground rugby so I think a synthetic pitch would be great."
The project will be funded by Glasgow City Council, Scottish Rugby and sportscotland, with work expected to be completed "ahead of the 2016/17 rugby season".
Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend added: "It's fantastic news that we're close to securing a brand new pitch at Scotstoun for next season.
"We've played a lot on the Cardiff Arms Park surface over the last few years and we enjoyed playing on the Rugby Park pitch last season.
"We aim to play high tempo rugby and this state-of-the-art artificial surface will help us produce a faster game."

Weather Service Issues Heat Advisory
Thursday, August 4, 2005; 3:12 PM
The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the Washington area from noon until 8 p.m. today.
High temperatures in the mid 90s combined with high humidity levels will push heat index values to around 100 degrees this afternoon and evening, the National Weather Service said.
"It is best to seek an air conditioned environment during the hottest part of the day," the advisory said. "If that is not possible, drink plenty of fluids and stay out of the sun. Be sure to check on elderly relatives and neighbors."
The advisory warned people not to keep children or pets in cars with windows rolled up, even partially. "Temperatures inside a car with windows up can reach over 150 degrees quickly, resulting in heat stroke and death," the advisory said.

History has taught us, that if we do not get info BEFORE launch don;t buy it. OFPDR it was the same thing and that game was one one of the worst games in history, how codemasters were not shut down after that game i don't understand. With the release so close, I have cancelled my pre order for now. They are hiding it. Pc review will come out after release as all **** games do. Don't waste your time or money. Get max payne 3 instead.
We'll get info at E3. Why do I say that? E3 is next week. I pretty much figured they'd only release info about PC at E3 like months ago. Why? One, they only released one announcement about PC details, that really weren't that revealing on what the PC version would offer. And, seeing how they cancelled their PC version, and then brought it back, I figured they really didn't care that much about PC gamers anway. I bet the info at E3 will be the only info as well, seeing as the PC version is supposed to be released the following week. So yeah, I bet they will basically only release info (IF they plan on releasing info) a week before the PC version is released. Oh, and seeing how the console version didn't live up to hype, I don't have big hopes that PC gamers will get what they won't. No doubt it will be a fun game, but I don't think it will be a Ghost Recon game.
ArmA3 Community Alpha will come in June or July, with release later this year or early next year. That's what I'm waiting for. Sadly, seems like the closest we can get to an actual tactical game is either the next Rainbow Six game, or a milsim. There are very few games left that are true PC games. The ArmA series is one of the few, so I'm just waiting for that hoping it will be good.
Best wishes,

Cat and dog thank you card
I made this card back in April and rediscovered the photo today. I don't remember if I used a sketch when creating the layout. The papers are from DCWV's Café Mediterranean collection, and the digi stamp is A Cat, a Dog, and an Umbrella from Free Vintage Digital Stamps. I colored the stamp with Prismacolor pencils and blended with paint thinner.
Labels: card-making, cat, digi stamp, dog, thank you

Milo Ventimiglia may be playing one of television's best dads on This Is Us, but he looked to his own family for inspiration behind Jack, the endearing Pearson family patriarch.
"I feel like Jack has the same heart as my father," Ventimiglia told Interview magazine. "My father was a very fun dad; he was always coaching our soccer sports teams, he made sure that we had activities to do. He was kind of goofy and fun. But at the same time, he had a lot of lessons to teach us."
RELATED: 'This Is Us': Randall Takes a Trip Down Memory Lane With Dad Jack
"I try and reflect a lot of how I was raised by my father in the character that I'm playing now in being a dad," added the 39-year-old actor, who grew up with two older sisters. "You gotta be strong for these kids. You also have to be fun and teach them all the lessons, not just one, or two, or three."
When Ventimiglia is on the set of This Is Us, he has a visual reminder of his childhood in his trailer that helps him get into the mindset to play Jack, whose death serves as a sort of ongoing mystery for fans.
"I'm in my trailer right now, and in it I have a photograph of my dad and I when I was about 3 years old, and above it, it says 'Be a good father' and below it, it says 'Be a good husband,'" he shared. "It's really simple -- really simple, easy things to look at right before I walk out of my trailer."

It's clearly helped. Since the show's debut, Jack has become a glowing example of a father giving his three children (two biological, one adopted) the necessary tools and lessons to succeed as the best versions of themselves.
"I don't really consider it," Ventimiglia said when asked if it was intimidating portraying a character viewers are rooting for. "I don't feel the pressure to deliver this unrealistically great man to the screen; I just want to be honest to who he is on the page. If I can reflect that and put some heart into him and make him real, then I think I've done my job, and I think that people will like who he is."
It's been a particularly fulfilling year professionally for Ventimiglia, who also reprised his role as bad boy Jess Mariano on Netflix's Gilmore Girls revival, A Year in the Life.
"I think I've gotten older, just as a man," Ventimiglia said of playing Jess a decade later. "So maybe if when I was younger I would want to see a reaction, at this point I want someone to open their heart up and give me all the details, make me see how I can help them along. It felt a little more akin to how [I] approach things in life nowadays as opposed to reckless juvenile antics, which I think is what Jess was a master in."
RELATED: Every 'This Is Us' Clue That Tipped Us Off on What Happened to Jack
Though Jess was one of Rory's three loves on Gilmore Girls, Ventimiglia was less interested in the debate over which boy she should end up with and more into what she wanted to be and do professionally.
"What is she going to achieve for herself? It isn't reliant on the guy that she 'ends up with,'" he said. "It was one of those things that I never really thought about in great detail, other than what she was going to do in the world of literature or business or anything else that she excelled in."
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life ends on a satisfying note, but the final scene -- and the much ballyhooed last four words -- will leave even more to be desired.
RELATED: 38 Questions We Still Have After Watching 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life'
"I think that any good storytelling lends itself to closing a chapter but also knowing that there's few more volumes beyond that to dream of. [Executive producers] Amy [Sherman-Palladino] and Dan [Palladino] really crafted a story that gives the satisfaction of a closing, but people are also still going to want more," Ventimiglia said. "It's not quite like sugar, where if you eat more you want more. It's more like you found a coin on the beach and you wonder if there's buried treasure underneath."
This Is Us airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is streaming on Netflix.

Expert Says Clean Social Media Profiles Help Win Job Interviews
Chief Content Officer Jon Gelberg is quoted in The Shorthorn
When applying for jobs, pictures of being passed out on a couch or sitting with a bong could cost a job hunter an interview, according to a social media expert.
With graduation approaching and summer jobs opening up, cleaning up social-media profiles could help prospective job hunters stand out in the market. Jon Gelberg, Blue Fountain Media chief content officer, said students need to avoid any inappropriate posts and use their social media sites to their advantage. He said by demonstrating skills, talents and creativity, students have a better chance of getting hired.
Blue Fountain Media is a New York-based company that counsels clients on their social-media efforts and online reputations, he said.

What is a good work bench?
Asked by ohVaNiLLaGoRiLLa (179) May 6th, 2012
I have recently cleaned out my garage and I am looking to find a good workbench to do projects on. Itd be nice if there was drawers and cabinets under it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Lowe's and Home Depot do not have very many on display and what they do have seem cheap.
Also I was looking for a tabletop drill press to put on this bench. Any good recommendations?

AND SINCE OUR ECONOMY IS SO MESSED UP THEIR BUSINESS IS PROBABLY GOING UNDER AND HE THOUGHT HE COULD BLAME HER FOR THIS AND GET SOME MONEY OUT OF IT. yeah im smart to think of that, i know, thanks :]

She now works at Pocono Peak Vterinary Hospital formally known s East Stroudsburg veterinary Hopital. I hin maybe someone should look into the money ransactions there. I wonder if something fishy is going on with payroll.

That comment is the same exact words that Judy keeps using as her excuse. I believe it is Judy making that post.

I agree with all of the ppl who called out this waste of breath. This woman is a coniving selfish hypocritical human being that deserves nothing but bad karma. She will do it again if not already. I wouldnt even give her the pleasure of calling herself a "pitbull" or "a viper who strikes when her prey is weak". More like a knat that wont go away and that is too illterate to use the right vocabulary not only on posts, but in real life. The people in our area (poconos) need to know story. You think it was bad in your nice little nazerath town, wait until word gets out in our town.
#68 Aug 18, 2012
She reminds me of someone in our neighborhood who bilked their elderly next door neighbor of thousands of dollars. You have to watch out for these sort of predators. They deceive by first gaining the old person's trust; offering to do errands for them, then later, honing in by helping them with their bills and banking. Seniors need to be extra cautious about who they trust.
#69 Aug 24, 2012
So how did this case turn out? Was Sutliff found guilty? She's listed online as being the Office Manager now at Pocono Peak Animal Hospital.
#70 Sep 21, 2012
Yeah she was, but obviously some businesses dont do backround checks before hiring ppl for these positions...bail and fines will get anyone out of jail...im my mind probation isnt enough. And its funny how these types of things follow ppl through life bc its apparent that shes still a scum bag liar and stealing from employees for them to do the research and find this 3 years later.

Mysterious files
I was looking for a particular file in my Windows folder and came across some strange looking files of which I am suspicious (see attached jpeg). They are each about 1K, without extensions. I have not opened them to see what's in them, but I use Norton Internet Security and have it constantly on, with all options enabled and it didn't catch these. Nonetheless, can anyone shed any light on these?
Thanks in advance,

Looks fishy to me.
If you open a command prompt to that directory and execute a dir /ash, do they show the same?
EDIT: also that entire directory of C:\Windows\File does not appear to exist on any of my windows 7 machines here. The fishiness escalates! You may want to try running a scan with Malwarebytes and see if you've picked up an infection.

They are fishy but, one thing that i noticed is that the "Date Modified" has different dates.
Normally a virus would create files all at once..not in weird intervals like this.
EDIT: Ahem!!, i dont see the folder named "File" in the sidebar..?

I've seen this in years past but not recently. Usually related to a corrupted file that Windows or a utility tried to recover (looked to be related to a "lost" or corrupt file start/end pointer).
Have also seen this develop when a hard drive sector goes bad. Run the Windows error check utility to verify your drive.

FYI, Norton Internet Security is not Norton Antivirus. They do, and protect, different things. Get yourself an actual antivirus product, ASAP (unless you just mistyped and you do have the antivirus as well).
Have you booted into safe mode and ran your antivirus yet? I can't say for sure those look like they are malicious or not. Usually such things do not create so many files in the same folder at different times as this greatly increases the likelihood of discovery.
GEWB may be on to something as well. Run a checkdisk on your local hard drive, as well as launch a command prompt as admin and run "sfc /scannow".

|"Nature, in return for his love, seems
to adopt him as her especial child."
Were they hoisted on their own petard?
Surely this place could not have been erected by the monsters themselves. Surely not.
With the pyramid temple secured, I returned to Agasado (starting to have second thoughts about this moniker). He had patiently waited for me, milling about in a mildly restive state entirely appropriate to a high-spirited and healthy stallion. I admired his discipline and wondered at his trainer. Myself, I have an affinity with animals, one well documented if I may be completely honest with myself. Documented by no less august a personage than Nathaniel Hawthorne himself, most kindly. But thus it is with the small critters, the chipmunks and little brown birds; to bond with and manage a large creature like a horse, wild and willful, that is an achievement I must respect with some awe. Like I said, I get along with Agasado just fine, but I admire the hand that steadied his nerves and gave him to trust.
|A cabin would be lovely here, but for the temple just behind it.
Something struck me odd about this pond, however, lying somewhere to the east of the desert temple. There were patches of sand to its bed, and it seemed as though the desert resumed on the far bank, while on the other sides birch grew plentifully. This would be useful to note if I needed to undertake some construction, but still something nagged me about the pond, and I had to dismount Agasado. This is how I do my best thinking, I feel, with my feet on the ground and taking slow, meditative strides. If I can manage to surround myself with samples of all elements, this is best: present were clean air, clean water, solid earth... only fire was lacking, but if I truly desired it, I'm confident a minute's perambulation should have discovered a pool of lava, just around the corner.
And so I breathed, stretched my limbs and thought. I will not suggest I attempted to extend my sensate faculty out of my person and into Nature, but pools like this are fine for reflection, in every sense of that word. It is necessarily a byproduct of gazing into a thing that one sees oneself in it, to some extent. When I looked at the pond to wonder how like it I was, or how it resembled me, that is when I took my little inventory: I like to be placid and transparent, or I aspire to be. I hope others find me as cool as these waters, with as solid a foundation. Yet when I look within myself, there still is a large gap in my constitution, a lack to be fulfilled...
Nature is singularly useful for showing us things about ourselves. Sometimes I wonder whether it serves any other purpose, or that this is simply a function of the land's ancestry to humanity.
For there in the middle of the lake was a black chasm. I'd never seen such a thing in my life: I have seen, or read about, perilously deep bodies of water, but this was something else, This was a moderately large mouth in the center of the pond, a portal to a chasm below the earth. I may assert this for I immediately removed my most burdensome garments, while retaining certain modesty, and threw myself into the waterfall this formation created.
|The massive grotto, gained by massive waterfall.
Another feature is that it flows slower than in my native realm, so that I may descend a waterfall as slowly and harmlessly as a feather descending the still air. Conversely, it is not much effort to swim up a waterfall, as well, and in this application it replaces the need for a ladder!
Therefore I had no qualms at all about wading into this enormous cavern, knowing I should not be dashed upon its floor and that my exit was guaranteed. I mounted some torches and performed a cursory examination of this enormous grotto. Immediately I espied lodes of ore and coal, so I must return here with proper equipment and begin to build the reserves for my new base of operations.
|Even this world has its lovely and rewarding moments.
What a marvelous animal!
We rode around afterward, and I need not annotate our wanderings for they were nothing but folly: sometimes I steered him toward an alluring patch of sunflowers, and sometimes he ambled toward a hillock to peer around the landscape. As the sun began to set, we even found the lands "owned" by the clans of wild horses. Whether or not he recognized any of his kinsmen, I was unable to detect, but he was neither averse to confronting them nor overly eager to engage with them.
So deep in reverie was I, it took me far too long to put two and two together and realize that the sun was setting. Brusquely, I'm afraid, I jerked Agasado's head to the side and we galloped directly to the desert temple. I apologized to him along the way, stroking his neck with deep remorse, and I can only hope that he is well acquainted with the night and what it brings.

Telefónica still holds whip hand, but EU rules mean new chances for the rest.
7 January 2008
MADRID - Companies in the fixed-line telephony market no longer sell calls; they give them away with an internet connection. More than 70 percent of Spanish households now have mixed contracts offering internet, along with telephone calls and cable TV.
In total, some 6.5 million homes - 42 percent of the total - now have broadband. For those already connected to the web, suppliers are laying fibre optic cables to speed up and increase the size of downloads, based on the growing demand for peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing, and internet TV. As a result, net traffic has grown 20 times in the last two years. Telefónica says it intends to invest EUR 4 billion until 2014 on its network, boosting download speeds to 100 megabytes per second (MBS) from the current 3MBS most users are limited to. The competition, led by Ono and Orange, has similar plans.
At the same time, the phone companies are turning their attention to the still-significant chunk of the population that is yet to sign up. In a bid to bring them on board, they are being bombarded with offers of cheaper internet connections, albeit with less megas. Telefónica fired the first salvo with a monthly rate of EUR 29.90 for 1MBS, sparking a price war.
Last year also saw renewed criticism by consumers - backed by the European Commission - about the price of internet in Spain. Brussels fined Telefónica EUR 151 million for abusing its virtual monopoly on the broadband market, following a complaint by Orange's owner, France Telecom. Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes says broadband is expensive in Spain - 20 percent higher than the European average - because of lack of competition: Telefónica controls 56.3 percent of broadband lines, and makes up 61 percent of earnings from internet access.
But the Spanish government is backing Telefónica, and has appealed against the fine. A report carried out by the CMT telecommunications watchdog says that broadband in Spain is actually cheaper, or at least in line with, European averages. Specifically, it says that Spanish consumers only pay more for 1MBS deals than users elsewhere.
Nevertheless, prices are expected to fall further this year, as Telefónica opens up its lines to its rivals. In response to complaints from the main operator's competitors - who say that as they cannot economically duplicate Telefónica's local loop, they cannot provide broadband - the CMT is also pressing ahead with Local Loop Unbundling (known as OBA in Spain), the regulatory process of allowing multiple telecoms operators the use of connections from the telephone exchange's central office to the customer's premises. The implementation of OBA is a requirement of EU policy on competition in the sector and has been introduced, at various stages of development, in all member states.
With so much at stake, the only option open to Telefónica's rivals is to join forces. An unprecedented process of consolidation is now underway. France Telecom bought Ya.com, the Spanish affiliate of Deutsche Telekom for EUR 320 million. This has now put Orange in third place with more than one million customers, behind Telefónica and Ono. The other big story from last year that will shape the future of the sector was Vodafone's purchase of Tele2, giving it a stronger presence in the fixed-line market, and allowing it to pool resources. Tele2 Spain has some 550,000 customers, of whom 250,000 are broadband.

Cory has some ideas:
If I were running the mags, I'd pick a bunch of sfnal bloggers and offer them advance looks at the mag, get them to vote on a favorite story to blog and put it online the week before the issue hits the stands. I'd podcast a second story, and run excerpts from the remaining stories in podcast. I'd get Evo Terra to interview the author of a third story for The Dragon Page. I'd make every issue of every magazine into an event that thousands of people talked about, sending them to the bookstores to demand copies -- and I'd offer commissions, bonuses, and recognition to bloggers who sold super-cheap-ass subscriptions to the print editions.
Making every issue into an "event"--that's not a bad idea for online mags. Of course, I'm not brilliant enough to figure out how to make MINDFLIGHTS an event every month come 2008.
Of course, I hope you fans of Christian-friendly SF and Christian SF will give even a modest donation to make MINDFLIGHTS a success. EIGHT in 2008! If every reader donated 8 bucks in 2008, the magazine could function, pay better, offer higher quality work. Consider it, would you? (And if you haven't registered over there yet, please do.)
And if you have stunning ideas on creating monthly "events", do comment. I could pass them on to the managing editor and publisher.
hat tip to SF Signal for the link to Paulo Bacigalupi's blog which, in turn, linked to Cory at BoingBoing.

According to the Daily Record report, the driver reasoned to his superiors that he had a clean motive for letting the children stay by the side of the road. He stated that he is clairvoyant and he has the capability to see things before they actually happen. Just like other psychics who believe in astrology and numerology, the driver just followed his dreadful hunch in order to save lives.
Despite his claims, the clairvoyant driver seemed to have poor premonition about his work prospects because he was immediately fired by the National Express after learning about the incident. Based on the statement of his employer, they could not accept the excuse of the driver. Instead, they saw it as an irresponsibility, the Evening Telegraph reported.
The psychic driver wanted to appeal the decision, but there were no reports that notified the success of his demand.
Meanwhile, the school administrators and the education convener of Dundee City Council were delighted with the company's decision to discharge the driver.
Stewart Hunter stressed that it is very significant for students to be able to get to school on time. He added that it pleased him that the driver's employer has taken full responsibility and action for the incident.
Some people laughed at the idea that the driver ignored one of the most basic rules of his job, which is to pick up people. But several psychics who practice tarot reading and horoscope, like Ewan Irvine of the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre in Edinburgh, showed his support to the driver. Being an alleged clairvoyant himself, Irvine considered the possibility that the driver really had sensed something unfortunate was going to occur.
Irvine told the Deadline News that he also had experiences that made him feel weird, and he commonly listens to what he feels because it means something is going to happen, whether it be good or terrible. He emphasised that it would be better if he would stay safe than sorry.

Did I Sell My Soul?
Ok Im looking for guidance and im sorry for bothering you up until a few months ago I didnt know christ and so I come to you for this...I know god forgives all but what if you said or thought at one time "id sell my soul for something" does that mean its sold? the bible says all souls belong to god so I'd think that means you cant sell something that doesnt belong to you as our souls belong to god but I have a heavy concience and ask god for forgiveness on it but I need help from an expert...thank you
Hi Brian. Thanks for writing to us. You're not "bothering" us, so there's no need to apologize. :-) You have free will in this life, so you can choose to give yourself to Satan. However, saying or thinking that you'd "sell" your soul for something is usually meant figuratively, and is not a binding spiritual contract. Depending on your heart, saying it may have been a sin, but not an unforgivable one. You said that you know God forgives all. You're absolutely right. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." You need to have faith that God keeps His promises. When He promises forgiveness, He means it. You don't have to keep asking for forgiveness for the same sins. God heard you the first time and honored your request. The subject line of your email mentions "hope". That's what we have in Jesus - a wonderful hope guaranteed by a God who does what He says. God bless, Brian.
In Christ,
Ben Rast

It's a fair question: "If I'm not planning to make a purchase on credit anytime soon, why should I care about my credit?" While it's true that the most commonly known use of credit has to do with getting approved for a loan, there are other situations when credit can have a positive or negative impact (direct or indirect) on our lives.
1. Many employers check job applicants' credit prior to making a hiring decision. This may seem unfair and irrelevant to many, but employers reason that since a person's credit is indicative of their efforts to repay financial obligations, employers may use that information as an additional insight into the job applicant's overall qualifications for employment. When the potential employer is in the finance, law enforcement or government sector, credit checks are even more common.
2. Many landlords, especially property management companies, will check potential renters' credit scores. Since renting out their property involves the risk that the renter will not pay their obligations on time, a credit check shows which applicants have a history of on-time payments and which do not.
3. Many auto insurance companies base a portion of their monthly premiums on the vehicle owner's credit. While morally disputable for some, there is a clear correlation between an individual's credit score the average size of claims that those with similar credit scores submit.
4. A utilities account cannot be denied based upon one's credit, but the company can certainly jack up the security deposit.
So, even if you're not considering making a major purchase any time soon on credit, it is still a good idea to keep your credit report accurate and as positive as possible. See our "Financial Tips" article below to know what is on your report and how to dispute errors.
If you have any suggestions or stories on how you've experienced relief from credit cards and other debt feel free to share in the comment section below. Tips, tricks and other suggestions are always welcome!

I adore rhubarb. It is tart, but very tasty. We used to have stewed rhubarb and custard quite often when I was a child. Rhubarb crumble is another good one.ReplyDelete
HaHa!!! Too funny! I love rutabagas, but don't think they would make good pies. I have never seen rhubarb around here (SC). I'm thinking it might be one of those early spring plants that grows in cooler temperatures. Good luck on finding some.ReplyDelete
aww...memories. My grandmother made rhubarb pies.ReplyDelete
I've never had anyReplyDelete
You're too much! Keep the surprises comingReplyDelete
Love rhubarb. I make a cobbler, cooking rhubarb with sugar butter and cornstarch. Then a topper on it and bake it in the oven.ReplyDelete
I think rhubarb is something you really like or NOT. It has a taste all its own. I'll give you the whole recipe if you'd like. No time to write it all down now.Replies
Just looked. Recipe is on my blog.Delete
I've never seen one but I knew at once that weren't no rhubarb in that picture :)ReplyDelete
Rhubarb pie can be yummy!!ReplyDelete
My German landlords make a mean rhubarb pie :)ReplyDelete
I love comments!!! Check back as I sometimes reply to them. WARNING: If you leave a comment, I'm subject to stalking your blog and leaving you a comment as well.


text: I assume the answer is "OMG I can't believe you haven't mulched yet!?!" But just in case there is more to the issue than this novice gardener guesses, do you mulch? and if so, with what? I am in SF, CA with 2 4x4 raised beds and some container plantings and am wondering what kind of mulch is recommended as well as how much and...why? Holds the moisture in? Because I'm actually a crazy person that loves weeding... Can I just smack some grass clippings on top of my beds? Is there any veggie you shouldn't mulch?

Kirstie Alley Decorates Wichita House With Movie Set
Associated Press - December 8, 2016 9:13 am
Actress Kirstie Alley has decorated a Wichita home she owns with a Santa's Village set she saved from her 1993 film "Look Who's Talking Now."
It had been several years since she put up the set in her childhood hometown. The set appeared in a scene where Alley, playing Mollie Ubriacco, loses her job and needs to earn extra money. She takes a job working as an elf for a surly mall Santa.
The large panels painted with festive Christmas town scenes span 120 feet and are 18 feet high at some points. They first appeared in Wichita nine years ago.
On Wednesday morning, Alley tweeted a picture of the village, and wrote, "I have a village to tend to today…final touches..makes everyone smile."

Israel Brushing Off International Criticism
BERLIN (AP) — Israel's prime minister is brushing off international criticism over a new settlement project. Israel plans to build 3,000 settler homes in the corridor near Jerusalem. After meeting with Germany's chancellor in Berlin today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Palestinians "understand" that the area is "going to be part of Israel" in any final peace deal. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been critical of Israel's settlement policy.

Garden City, NY (PressExposure) April 12, 2008 -- In the last or so decade, there has been a huge influx of porcelain items, especially figurines and other decorative porcelain objects, that are marked with what appear to be older European or American marks. Most of these items are of high quality, but are not antique. The vast majority of these come from China, or Asia in general, and usually do not have a country of origin mark.
"We get hundreds of these marks as inquiries from our members" says Lisa Marion of http://www.Marks4Antiques.com. "Usually, our researchers can tell right away that these lovely porcelain items are made in China; however, many of the marks are so similar to authentic antique marks that require a more detailed look". Marks4Antiques.com continually updates its databases and includes all newer porcelain marks as soon as they are encountered. This way, members of the site can quickly determine the authenticity of their antiques and avoid costly mistakes.
For example, items made for export to the US after 1891, must also declare the country of origin. This requirement was enacted into law based on several Tariff Acts in the 1890s. Older items usually include the country of origin as part of their overall trademark or have the words "Germany" or "England", "France" etc near the actual porcelain mark. However, many recent Asian imports get away with this legal requirement by using a sticker or label, which is often removed or lost after the itemâs entry to the US.
Luckily, there are some other ways to recognize most of these forged or imitation porcelain marks. Here are some tips that are easy to follow:
1) Examine the mark around the edges using a Magnifying Lens: If the mark appears too perfect and perhaps applied using some industrial machine, then the mark is probably recent. In these cases, the mark is usually stamped or at times slightly raised or impressed. Most items made prior to 1950 had their marks applied by hand, so these stamps would wear out or the firmness with which they were applied varied from worker to worker or over time. Older porcelain marks are not as clear or sharp at the edges.
2) If the mark is a shape or symbol, look closely: Most recent porcelain marks are close imitations of older authentic marks used by Meissen, Sevres, Chantilly, English Staffordshire Potteries (usually Coats of Arms or Crests), Gardner etc. However, almost always they differ in one or two minor details, such as the endings do not curl the same or have symbols that are obscure or are out of scale. Although some older authentic antique marks were applied in free hand style, using an Artistâs thin brush, the difference is still visible once you have seen several versions of the original mark.
3) If the mark includes words, read carefully: Often, newer imitation porcelain marks intentionally misspell words, such as "SEVRE" instead of "SEVRES" or "STAFORDSHIRE" instead of "STAFFORDHIRE" etc. Please compare thename you read with the authentic one by running a quick search on Google or eBay.
4) The size of the mark: Typically, newer porcelain marks are larger than the original ones. It is very possible to find a mark that is practically identical to an authentic older one, but its size is 2 or 3 inches across. Older porcelain marks rarely exceed 1 â 1.5 inches.
5) Be aware of the word "CHINA": Because "china" also refers to Dinnerware as in "chinaware", many newer porcelain marks include the word CHINA in the mark, for example "IRONSTONE CHINA" in capital letters, which helps to comply with the country of origin laws but also confuses a collector in thinking that this is part of the original company name. In fact, many marks of older Potteries, especially in England and the US, as well as on many logos of legitimate ca 1890s â 1930s importers of genuine French, German or western porcelain, included the word CHINA as part of their trademark, which is now misused by traders from the East.
6) Copyright symbol: The universal symbol for "copyright" is usually the letter C enclosed in a circle. This is a fairly recent symbol and did not exist during the 19th or earlier centuries. If a mark looks similar to an older or antique porcelain mark and also has this Copyright symbol, then it is a new imitation mark.
7) "VICTORIA" or "VICTORIAN": Although there were a handful of companies that used these words within their logo or as a name of a Pattern, the words "Victoria" and "Victorian" are often seen on newer imitation porcelain marks. Please compare your item with others on Google or eBay to see if you can find other similar ones and see what these sellers have to say. In the vast majority of cases, these words indicate newer pieces.
8) Age & Construction of the piece: Finally, examine the piece for any signs of real age. Most antique porcelain starts to show tiny cracks in the glaze after several decades, especially Earthenware or old glazed Chinaware that has been used extensively, called "crazing". Although many new pieces exhibit similar crazing, the lines appear very bright and white, indicating artificial stress during Firing to create this effect on purpose. Old crazing is usually somewhat discolored since dust and dirt tend to accumulate in these cracks and shows over time. Other reliable signs of age include:
1. The way the mold is put together: older ones tend to be "tighter" with almost no seams, 2. The "blow hole": the tiny opening, usually at the bottom of a porcelain figurine, that allows air to escape from within a piece while in the Kiln, is usually rough and hand-pierced on antique pieces , whereas on new ones it is very "clean" and symmetrical, 3. The base of a figurine or, in the case of chinaware, the foot rim: older pieces exhibit wear and tear or feel somewhat rough to the touch or are slightly discolored or "dirty", 4. The colors: older pieces used softer, more gentle colors and are not too bright, whereas newer pieces tend to be very "intense", 5. The "whiteness": porcelain on older pieces is even and bright; most recent pieces tend to be a slightly grayish or bluish.
As mentioned in the beginning of this article, many newer pieces are of good quality and are often even better alternatives to older pieces for decorative purposes. However, if you are a Collector or an Antiques Dealer trading in Antiques, you certainly want to knowâ¦

The Mutant Spawn of Music-Addled Aliens and Giant Media Interests
That's how a new comic novel describes American Copyright law:
Reid does believe in the sanctity of intellectual property. But he thinks the penalties for copyright infringement in the U.S. are so extreme that they wind up being counterproductive.
"When the law gets stretched to such a cartoon extreme — $150,000 penalty for pirating a single 99 cent song — we cease to look like victims of property theft who deserve to be protected," he says, "and we start looking more like a coddled interest group."
I don't have any experience with copyright infringement cases, beyond believing that there's a big moral difference (and there should be a much clearer legal distinction) between me making a copy of my favorite Rambos' CD to share with my mother or giving a copy of an .mp3 to a friend, on the one hand, and, on the other, full-blown black market operations. But this sense of galactically-proportioned entitlement of the media industrial complex that Reid pinpoints has certainly pervaded my limited experience with the big corporate music publishers.
When I've tried to secure copyright licenses to reprint lyrics in my scholarship, it really has often seemed to me that most corporate publishers rely on gold-plated aliens to set the fee schedule for licenses to reprint lyrics (in a non-profit educationally-focused academic books and journal articles no less!*). But it's not only the money. I always tried to be proactive and cooperative and patient in my dealings with publishers, and I did my best to be thorough and responsible in complying with the often internecine layers of application processing required for a license request to even receive consideration. Yet it often seemed that no matter my effort to reach a reasonable deal that satisfied everyone's needs and interests, the corporate attitude toward our interactions - and this isn't just unique to one or two publishers - was (more times than not) impatience bordering on truculence, and not-very-latent hostility, as if I were trying to legally rob them (certainly felt like the other way 'round to me).
One notable exception was Brentwood Benson, whose personnel were unfailingly helpful and cooperative, and professionally respectful. Mind you, they still charged a license fee that strikes me as entirely out of proportion to the market value of the song and the academic use being requested,* but after dealing with so much high-handedness from so many other places, I was almost happy to overpay Brentwood Benson just for their being nice when they
held me up sold me the licenses.
And I had it easy comparatively. A colleague who just published a physiology textbook wanted to start each chapter with a thematically appropriate song lyric that might catch the attention of your average college student. Her publisher tallied up the price to secure all the lyrics she had proposed to use (no single lyric more than a line or two from the song): $1.3 million. Royght.
This kind of the nonsense is in the spirit of what Reid, the author quoted above, is lampooning in his much-viewed TED talk on the $8 billion iPod:
I should be clear here that I'm not condoning or supporting the kind of flagrant and actively malevolent piracy that leads to dozens of bootlegs of American blockbusters and chart-topping albums being peddled like knock-off Rolexes on the street. That's wrong. Don't do it. Etc.
But just as there are (according to an economist quoted lower down in the story) not only direct but indirect costs to piracy that we should be aware of and take seriously, there are also oft-overlooked costs to the overamped hyper-fixative fervor of the anti-piracy mindset in the music industry, among whose secondary (and I would hope unintended) consequences has been to make it more difficult for people who love or are otherwise interested in your music to write about it commercially* and in the process expose that music to people who might then … you know, go buy more music and stuff.
*Footnote: Before you start flying to your keyboards to point out that somebody's getting rich off the subscriptions to academic journals of the sort I've published in or on a book like mine whose hardback edition is upwards of $80.00, I'd refer you to articles here and here about the cost model for peer-reviewed academic scholarly publications - short answer: nobody's getting rich off academic monographs, which are very different from textbooks.Email this Post

Russia's largest bank has launched its inaugural legal panel, appointing 37 firms across 13 sub-panels in a move that is indicative of a growing trend in the Russian market for banks and companies to establish more formal panel arrangements for their external legal providers.
The new panel, the results of which are publicly available on Sberbank's website, is made up of sub-panels that cover corporate and M&A, Russian corporate and M&A, capital markets, banking and finance, IP, international arbitration, administrative law, litigation, Belarussian law, Kazakh law, Ukrainian law, legislative drafting activities and legal and regulatory risks.
As well as publishing the list of those firms that have been successful, the bank has also taken the unorthodox step of publishing the names of the firms that did not make the cut.
Clifford Chance, Debevoise & Plimpton, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herbert Smith, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters and White & Case have all been appointed to the corporate and M&A sub-panel. However, Baker & McKenzie, Chadbourne & Parke, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, CMS, DLA Piper, Goltsblat BLP, Latham & Watkins, Morgan Lewis, Norton Rose, Orrick, Salans and SNR Denton failed "to meet the necessary requirements" to make the grade, according to the information available on Sberbank's website.
Clifford Chance, Debevoise & Plimpton, Hogan Lovells and White & Case were the only four firms that also succeeded in winning spots on the bank's Russian corporate and M&A sub-panel. Other firms, such as Baker & McKenzie, Chadbourne & Parke, DLA Piper, Goltsblat BLP and Latham & Watkins, which were not appointed to the overall corporate and M&A panel, were also successful on this panel. ALRUD was the only Russian law firm to make the Russian corporate and M&A sub-panel.
In addition to the 13 sub-panels, the review saw the establishment of 12 sub-streams in the capital markets list and six sub-streams in the banking and finance roster. The capital markets sub-panel is broken down into the following areas: debt capital markets; equity capital markets; derivatives; syndicated lending; LMA lending to attract funds; subordinated loans; securitisations; tax; other capital markets transactions; advice on Irish law; advice on Cypriot law; advice on Luxembourg law; and advice on Swiss law. The banking and finance sub-panel comprises project finance; trade finance; syndicated lending and LMA lending; restructuring and bankruptcy; Russian restructuring and bankruptcy and investment and construction lending.
Morgan Lewis, Norton Rose, Salans and SNR Denton were four of the firms that lost out most on the sub-panels, failing to win spots on the bank's corporate and M&A, Russian corporate and M&A and a number of the capital markets sub-streams. Morgan Lewis did, however, win a spot on the other capital markets transaction sub-stream of the overall capital markets sub-panel.
Norton Rose was the only one of these firms that made the project finance sub-panel, while Salans and SNR Denton were two of five firms that made the grade on the restructuring and bankruptcy sub-stream of the bank's capital markets sub-panel. Salans also made the IP sub-panel, alongside Russian firm Baker & McKenzie and Gorodissky & Partners.
Although Cleary Gottlieb, which has been a longstanding adviser to the bank and is advising it on its long-awaited secondary public offering (17 September 2012), failed to make either the corporate M&A or Russian corporate M&A sub-panels, it was successful on all six of the 12 capital markets sub-panels that it pitched for.
Meanwhile, other long-term Sberbank advisers Clifford Chance and Linklaters won 18 spots and 10 spots respectively. However, Clifford Chance lost out on three spots that it pitched for, including the Russian restructuring and bankruptcy sub-stream, which Linklaters was successful on, while Linklaters fell short of the 18 areas for which it had pitched.
In the international arbitration category Clifford Chance, Freshfields, Herbert Smith, Hogan Lovells, Latham & Watkins and Linklaters have all won spots, while Baker & McKenzie, Chadbourne & Parke, Cleary Gottlieb, CMS, Debevoise & Plimpton, DLA Piper, Goltsblat BLP, Morgan Lewis, White & Case and Russian law firm Yust all failed to meet the necessary requirements.
According to the documentation available, the appointments are valid for a 12-month period, although it is not clear whether the entire panel will be formally reviewed again after this time.
Sberbank did not respond to requests for comment.

- The restiffic compressive foot wrap for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) will be featured on The Balancing Act® morning show airing on Lifetime Television. The Balancing Act's segment on RLS and this revolutionary new drug-free therapy will air at 7:30 a.m. ET/PT on June 5 and June 12, 2017.
The Balancing Act's segment on treating RLS with restiffic features Sandie & Paul Yeaman, a couple from Omaha, NE whose lives were consumed by Sandie's severe RLS before they discovered restiffic, and Daniel Olson, a doctor of podiatric medicine from Erie, PA who was the lead investigator in restiffic's successful clinical trial.
Paul reminisced that his wife, Sandie, "was the biggest skeptic in the world, but I was willing to try anything that might help her." His persistence paid off, and Sandie gushes that "The first time I tried restiffic…instantly, my legs calmed down. It was like I almost forgot that I had restless legs for the first time ever."
"RLS is traditionally treated with opioids and powerful narcotics which may help patients' symptoms partially, but the side effects that many patients experience far outweigh the benefits," says Dr. Olson. "With restiffic, we've found a safe and effective alternative to traditional medication."
restiffic offers affordable drug-free therapy for patients suffering from RLS and can be purchased online with a prescription at www.restiffic.com.

When I arrived at the airport, I had no idea what to expect. It was the fifth day since planes were flying...five times the amount of people at the airport than normal.I waited in the worlds longest line for 6 hours to reroute my flight home to Reno instead of to Vancouver. During the 6th hour of waiting someone walked by asking if anyone wanted to go to New York. Spur of the moment, I decided that I was over waiting in lines and would rather be back in North America away from the party at the airport. Even when I was on the plane, I didn't believe we were actually going to take off, but we did!!!! There were nothing, but blue skys in the air and a relatively smooth ride back other than my plane neighbor getting sick and passing out all over me. I told a flight attendent and as we walked her down the isle she looked like she was going to puke. I grabed a bag from someones seat back and caught every drop of her throw up. I was gaging the whole time. It was quite the experience. Glad I could help....yuck!I landed in N.Y. and my cousin came to pick me up. Stayed in Brooklyn for the night and had sushi for dinner (best meal in a while). I cruised around in the morning before my flight...more than enough city time for me.This kind of reminded me of Europe.Right outside my cousins apartment.The view from his back deck. Through the fire escape. Mmm...breaky!And treats for the plane. In the last eleven days I've been from Reno to Salt Lake to Paris to Munich to Amsterdam to New York to Pittsburg to Phoenix and finally back to the Reno airport. I thought I'd be stuck in Europe forever. Homeward bound!

Make Your Black Cat a Star/
RED Hearts are guest posts on I Heart Daily from the authors of RED: Teenage girls in America write on what fires up their lives today.
Zulay Regalado, 26, in Miami, tells us why we should revere black cats — and how to make your own midnight feline a star:
If I had the ability to transform into any animal, I'd choose to live my life — or lives — as a black cat. They're pretty much the royal family of the feline populace: effortlessly fluent in their movements, all dark and shiny, flawless fur with their fancy seafood diets and marathon naps.
While no amount of next-life grace could cure my decades of clumsiness and love for aquatic activities, I'd still like to think I'd be one cool cat. That's the essential allure of black cats — that they, like humans, are all unique. All Black Cats Are Not Alike is a book-in-the-making that playfully pays homage to this one-of-a-kind quality. Through hand-drawn and absolutely adorable illustrations with hand-lettered captions of black cats in all their individual, black-cat glory, Peter Arkle and Amy Goldwasser of Studio Goldsparkle (Amy is also the editor of our RED Hearts blog, of course) are bringing them to life.
Their Kickstarter campaign is rallying 50 black cats to star in the book — and for just $24, you can nominate yours to be one of them! Already secured a place in the project is Mimi (pictured on cover), a celebrity in the feline community who lets Peter and Amy live with her. Her diva-like persona is just so over being compared to less fabulous black kitty counterparts.
There are a lot of ways to donate to the campaign, from joining the All Black Cats Club to being the first to reserve your personalized artist's book to signed prints and custom pet portraits. You'll think twice before comparing the adventurous, neighborhood roamer to the slightly annoyed, hefty house cat who turns a whisker to generic canned tuna.
RED Hearts guest poster Zulay Regalado is an author of RED: Teenage girls in America write on what fires up their lives today, which is out in paperback.
