We met our daughter at our Russell Square hotel (not the big red one: our favorite small B&B one with back view of Horse Hospital) after an enormous summer Sunday morning immigrations line at LHR and the always just-fine-even-after-overnight-flight Piccadilly Line ride. The three of us would spend two nights there, then two weeks in France, then another two nights on the way back.
After reviving soup and latte at Tutti's, around the corner on Lamb's Conduit Street, H and I were ready to walk around while her daddy tested out the hotel bed. Lamb's Conduit, by the way, is a fine little pedestrian-mostly street dotted with inexpensive sidewalk cafés and pubs.
Russell Square was hopping on that very fine Sunday afternoon, and to our delight there was a red-and-white striped Punch and everyone-but-Judy stage amusing children of all ages. Punch beat the doctor, the policeman, and other males with his stick, but presumably wife-beating is not so entertaining these days. The puppets are sponsored by Friends of Russell Sq., that has a booth nearby. I bought a 1£ paperback Vanity Fair from them, not remembering that whole chunks of it are set in Russell Sq. homes or remembering what a great book it is.
We took full advantage of Russell Square and the great weather, sat on its benches, power-walked it perimeter waiting for Pa, enjoying a beer and snack at the Café there.
H and I visited the special exhibits at British Museum, which hardly anyone can ever see enough, and we especially enjoyed the political cartoons from the Napoleonic era. History for dummies, my favorite:
Bob walked back up to the British Library (I can envision a day when the Beatles exhibit will be pushed aside to make room for new heroes) while H and I walked down to the National Portrait Gallery, pausing at the Tottenham Ct Rd Caffe Nero for more caffeine for me and a loyalty card for her.
I love the Natl Portrait, probably because I paint portraits myself. Or maybe I paint portraits because I find people most interesting. This time I spent awhile sorting out Wm and Mary and their families, and then H and I went down to this year's BP Portrait Award exhibit. Wow. We loved it.
I've been disappointed in the modern and contemporary portraits there, including the big one of Paul McC who gazes soulfully at you as you ascend the escalator, but this exhibit was so well selected. Go see it if you can. I'd skip the Audrey Hepburn one, though I thought she was adorable, partly because calling someone an "icon" gets on my nerves.
Dinner at The Lamb, my official Favorite London Pub, and finally got to see what Sunday roast is all about when Bob ordered it. They were out of lamb, so their chicken roast was quite a bit like mine. Love the bartenders there.
And that was our first day.

Micro-report: Passing through London
We met our daughter at our Russell Square hotel (not the big red one: our favorite small B&B one with back view of Horse Hospital) after an enormous summer Sunday morning immigrations line at LHR and the always just-fine-even-after-overnight-flight Piccadilly Line ride. The three of us would spend two nights there, then two weeks in France, then another two nights on the way back.

Tip on topping up your Oyster at LHR tube stop, where the lines were correspondingly long: everyone tends to stand in one line, ignoring the second machines to the left. Give it a shot.

Excellent ~ I think your TR deserves to be upgraded to a "mini!"
This surely beats "micro."

Just curious about the B and B you stayed in. Was it on Guilford, Colonnade? Care to share the name of it? I have stayed in the BIG RED one,(Hotel Russell) ,a long time ago, before recent remodeling..I like the area, and would like to know of a good B and B. Thanks.

aw, thanks, nyse! Am trying to restrain myself to avoid a "macro," or a dreaded "mega."
Hi, aye, Not trying to be coy, really, but it's the Celtic, which tends to book up. Run by the darling Mrs. Marazzi and her devoted staff, it features a served white tablecloth breakfast and a range of room prices from very budget to not-so-very. Formerly St. Margaret's.
When I called them from the Gare du Nord at 15h30 on June 30 to tell them that the Eurostar tunnel was blocked by demonstrators and that we would not be arriving that evening after all, the clerk told me they'd already had four cancellations. When we showed up the next morning Mrs. Marazzi said that by evening they had filled all the cancelled rooms with those stranded UK-side.

By the way, can anyone suggest a good book (in English, natch) about Napoleon? I've read a few over the years, but am ready for a refresher.

We spent much of Monday morning in the Museum of London, which we knew Bob would enjoy. The exhibits around the entrance terrace are always good: this time WWI recruiting posters.
Lunch at the Middle Temple, and thanks again to annhig for that. Bob wore "nice" jeans, while H and I were fairly well turned out, so we met the dress code. Central London's best bargain for ancient hall ambience and food, booked in advance by internet.
We cut through the garden, gorgeous in roses and fuchsia, across to King's College for a self tour. H had taken their tour last year during her semester at Regent's U with the idea she might someday think about grad school there. Their spiffy riverview bar was closed for renovation, but we could get the general idea. KCL is right in the middle of things, which is how H likes it.
We lucked into our own frosted glass booth at the Princess Louise pub, luckily not as mobbed as usual, and tried some of the Samuel Smith products there. What a lovely place to sip a half pint, and I'm glad the Smith people are maintaining it so well.
H went off to meet friends, and Bob and I caught a bus to Trafalgar Square in time to swing through a couple of rooms at the National Gallery, then walked across Charing Cross Bridge to the South Bank. At that point we felt a little at loose ends, stopped near the National Theatre café, bustling, to regroup. Sometimes it's hard to know how to keep one's spouse amused.
We ended up strolling down to Blackfriar's Bridge and up to The (or is it Ye?) Olde Cheshire Cheese for supper. I snagged Samuel Johnson's old favorite seat after Bob didn't like the way it sloped downwards; maybe the old Lexicographer's weight tipped it that little bit. Supper was fine, and we got to watch a young Japanese man try to teach the parrot a few words in that language, probably off color. The cute Irish waitress recommended Eton Mess for dessert, and we gave it a try: their version at least seemed to be mostly air and sugar, with a couple of strawberry slices at the bottom. 300% more strawberries would have won me over completely.
We walked down to St. Paul's and thought things over a little more. A quick trip to the Tower Bridge seemed in order, so we waited for the #15 bus. I'd recently read Maintenance of Headway, a droll novel told from the perspective of a bus driver in a city that sounds a lot like London, and I got flashes of that book the whole time. One passage includes a driver's rant about what constitutes a proper bus-flagging signal (arm held at right angles to the body, palm outward), but the crazed obsession of his bus supervisors is maintaining an exact spacing (or headway) between a given route's buses. As we watched several repeats of other routes go by and finally climbed onto a jammed #15 I felt sympathy for those supervisors.
Never mind. It was worth it, if quite chilly, when we finally walked out onto the bridge. By the time we got back to the Celtic, H had already gotten the key to our triple room and brushed her teeth.
And that was it for that day.

Hi, kovsie! As you can see, it was all too brief, but almost as incident-packed as your trips there. We tried, anyway.

And for some reason, the pretty French barista at Pret a Manger across from Museum of London gave me a free drip coffee. Was it the time of morning? The day? My Midwestern US charm? I'd stopped in there to take advantage of wifi and set up a free texting app to keep in touch with our daughter. When I tried to go back and give her a tip, in gratitude for it all, but she insisted was gratuit.
H just texted me, at home now, from their bus enroute to Brussels: London is the capital of the universe.

" can anyone suggest a good book (in English, natch) about Napoleon? "
The only answer you're likely to get right now is Andrew Roberts' Napoleon the Great, published late last year.
To some traditional British minds, it's verging on the hagiographic and the offensive. To mine, it's far to up its own self-styled objectivity.
It doesn't regard him as a monster, it points out (laboriously and uncritically) the alleged benefits (and considerable management achievement) of imposing a common administrative system across much of continental Europe and minimises the damage this absurd posturer imposed on millions of people.
So it's close to the view of the man the French state still brainwashes its children with - with a bit of British objectivity thrown in.
And it does take a different slant on his catastrophic career from the most common views expressed about him in English.

>>And for some reason, the pretty French barista at Pret a Manger across from Museum of London gave me a free drip coffee. <<
It's a promotional thing - they all get an allowance of random free coffees to give out. Makes a change from their last tack of getting the staff to make small talk with customers who were just there to get some fuel on the go - now that was irritating.

Ah, thanks, Flanner. Sounds like just the ticket. I've ordered it. Will devote the rest of the summer to Napoleon if necessary, glad to read a balanced view.
Ha, Patrick. I would greatly prefer a friendly smile or, even better, free coffee to engaging in staff small talk.

The morning we left for France we enjoyed our leisurely Celtic breakfast, served by Mina the efficient Turkmenistani business graduate student who oversees the distribution of Full English, porridge and so forth. Leave her a pound afterwards; she deserves it.
Bob had never been to the British Museum, just around the corner, though we knew he'd love it. He quickly became enthralled with the Assyrian rooms and was difficult to drag away. That nation seemed warlike indeed.
(Snatches of poetry flitted through my mind, minus the occasional word:
"The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold..."
and then, with even more blanks where words should be, Ogden Nash's:
"What does it mean when we are told
That that Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold?
In the first place, George Gordon Byron had enough experience
To know that it probably wasn't just one Assyrian, it was a lot of
I'm copying and pasting to remind myself of the words, if the occasion arises ever again.)
H and I made a quick side trip to one of my two favorite art supply stores in the world, L. Cornellisen & Son, established 1855. I like to think Whistler, Sargent, and Monet bought supplies there when in town, too. I bought a squirrel-hair watercolor brush and some stationery, my big souvenir splurge.
Then we rolled our suitcases up to St. Pancras and onto the Eurostar, glad to think we'd have another two nights in London on the way back.
Report Abuse
Except we didn't get two nights after all. On June 30, after taking the noon RER from Fontainebleau to Gare de Lyon and the normally excellent #65 bus to Gare du Nord (standing room only and delayed by an auto accident, quite warm on that 102F, 40C day), we rolled ourselves into the station and towards the London Hall. Whoa. Why were hundreds of travelers sweating at the foot of the escalator?
Bob had bought a handmade guitar from a luthier at Festival Django and had failed to unload his travel guitar as expected, so we were encumbered. He edged into the crowd and learned that demonstrators were blocking the entrance of the Eurostar tunnel, it had happened the previous week and stopped all trains for the day, and we'd know within an hour whether our 1530 train would roll.
Dismay. One benefit of traveling with a group of three is having someone to sit with luggage while we sent out scouting parties. We eventually learned that there would be no more trains that day, and staff were handing out cards with instructions for compensation and how to rebook for the next day. The Information Desk woman used a no-appeals hand gesture to tell me that the Eurostar ticket office was FERMER! My task was to rebook, while H looked for a hotel online. I was picturing the few, if any, vacant seats the next day being snatched up, with Bob and my LHR flight early the following morning.
Meanwhile, it was very warm in the station, but the atmosphere was civil. The surely-stressed Eurostar Staff politely told me that I could try online (no chance, website crashed), stand in the immense line allowing people to ascend a few at a time to the not-fermer-after-all Eurostar ticket office, or try the phone number provided. I opted for the second and third options, and after 20 minutes of listening to the French recording as I inched forward in line a young British voice answered. Oh, joy; I was prepared for French, but delighted to speak English. He gave us seats on the 10h00 train next morning. I told him he was an angel.
Meanwhile, H found us rooms at the Hotel Pas de Calais, in St-Germain. In the cab to our hotel, H called the National Theatre, where she and I had tickets that night for The Beaux' Stratagem, and in a trifecta of good fortune the box office was happy to trade our seats for the following evening, at a nominal 2£/ticket charge. Silver lined what had seemed like black clouds indeed.

Would also like to recommend the Celtic. We had a 10 day stay there in March of this year, while visiting a number of galleries. A great location, and friendly staff. Breakfast was substantial. We booked well ahead due to popularity of B & B. Handy also to direct line to Heathrow.
Report Abuse
Yes, quite handy to the Picadilly line. For our 08h30 LHR flight we could have slept in until at least 05h00 to catch the first Russell Sq tube at 0539. As it was we stood outside and waited for the gate to roll open at 0530, arrived at the airport in plenty of time to check my bag since a guitar in soft case was now my carryon and get a couple more Caffe Nero loyalty card stamps before our flight.
Report Abuse
Embarrassing to misspell fermée in public like that, twice.
When we disembarked at St. Pancras, after first-class Eurostar treatment that a person could get used to, it was still very warm. The walk back to our hotel seemed longer than it had two weeks previously.
H and I cut back through Russell Square, and this time she wanted to buy some paperbacks from the Friends' booth for her summer of travels. She found something fluffy by Barbara Cartland and something more substantial, 50 p each.
The booth Friend asked H where she was from, which led to a fun long conversation with another patron who'd visited our town in the past, and who was full of travel and London tips for H's year ahead. I asked her for local supper spot tips, mentioning that we'd be attending a play at the National Theatre afterwards. She assumed that of course we'd want to dine outside, and advised The Kitchen at the NT as just the ticket.
We walked down to the National Portrait Gallery and spent a couple of cool hours there, fortified with iced caffeine, then took a very warm bus ride back to Russell Square. Supper was a late sidewalk lunch along Lamb's Conduit Street, under a shade tree.
The three of us walked to Waterloo Bridge and across to the National Theatre. The sun still beat down on a record-tying hot London, and the idea of a leafy Garden Bridge seemed very appealing. We had the idea that a beer would be refreshing, so after picking up the tickets at National Theatre we surveyed the scene at The Kitchen. It was mobbed. I spotted a place to sit outside the Understudy Bar, and unfortunately H and Bob went in there to get our drinks. I could see them standing there for at least 20 minutes. They came out hot and unhappy, and H said it was the rudest bar experience she'd ever had: the bartenders kept ignoring them and serving others. We had to powerwalk down the South Bank to cool off.
No matter: Bob was able to catch to catch a bus to St. John's Wood for his evening Beatles' pilgrimage while H and I attended a very fun production of The Beaux' Strategem. See it if you can, and the 15£ seats are just fine.
Bus home, up early and around the corner to Russell Sq Tube Stop for the westbound 05h39. H told us later that at breakfast Mina asked how her parents were doing. Give her a tip if you stay there. She deserves it.

Mumbai, Jan 4: Bollywood star Salman Khan faced the ire of Tamils outside his residence in Mumbai on Sunday, Jan 4.
The protests happened as Salman Khan campaigned for the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, ahead of the presidential polls in the country.
One of the protester told a news agency, "We have removed Salman Khan from our hearts, he didn't think about Tamil people. He should not go to Sri Lanka."
"We will protest against his house until he apologises", another protester said.
Angry protesters were holding red flags and placards saying, "Salman Khan supporting a War Criminal Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa."
MDMK, DMK too critised Salman Khan
Hitting out at Salman Khan for campaigning for Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, MDMK chief Vaiko dubbed him as a 'betrayer' on Dec 30, Sunday.
Rajapaksa is under fire from political parties in Tamil Nadu, especially MDMK, as he was at the helm of affairs in 2009 when civilian casualties in the Tamil-dominated areas in Sri Lanka's northeast reportedly peaked during the last leg of the war between Lankan army and LTTE.
DMK had also criticised Salman for campaigning for Rajapaksa.
Party spokesperson TKS Elangovan said, "Indian fishermen were attacked by Sri Lankan Navy and at this stage Salman Khan going to Sri Lanka to campaign for Rajapaksa means he is not bothered about the Indian fishermen. This is highly condemnable."
Sri Lankan actor-turned politician Ranjan Ramanayake also advised Salman Khan not to "sell" himself to "the corrupt politicians" and appealed him to go back to India.
Salman called Rajapaksa "an amazing man"
Salman Khan is the first Indian actor to be roped in for a poll campaign in Sri Lanka. He was quoted as describing Rajapaksa as "an amazing man" after associating him in Rajapaksa's election platform.

This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Jungle Jim – A Musical Wildlife Adventure. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own.
Do your kids love animals? What about music? The other day, the twins and I watched Jungle Jim – A Musical Wildlife Adventure on Amazon and it combines both of those. Leg jiggling music and fun kid-friendly animal facts paired with exploring adventures had my twins asking for more Jungle Jim!
You can check out the 15-minute pilot of Jungle Jim – A Musical Wildlife Adventure on Amazon right now. During the pilot, Jungle Jim explores the animal kingdom with his friends Flip the Monkey, Dash the Cheetah, Scratch the Porcupine and Stripes the Tiger. I do have to warn you, be prepared for some pretty epic dinner conversations afterwards! Mister Oliver told me about cheetahs having back toes with sharp nails.Which then had Miss Charlie telling me that she wanted a cheetah in town because they can run fast with her on their back. That's toddlers for ya, but it also shows kids are remembering important facts when they sing about them with Jungle Jim and his animal friends!
All those fun animal facts that Jungle Jim teaches kids, are mixed with original music and live footage of animals in their own habitat. I love the addition of the live animal footage to the show, and I think that makes it even more appealing to my toddlers. They love visiting the zoo, chasing birds and rabbits thru the yard, and pretty much everything about animals, and I think seeing the footage in Jungle Jim brought it all together with the animal facts they were hearing.
Anytime I push play on a new show for the twins, I hold my breath for their response. They aren't shy about much, and definitely not things they dislike. When I showed them Jungle Jim for the first time, they didn't stop watching for the whole 15-minutes. When it was over, they asked for a new one, and hopefully that happens soon! The images are colorful, the characters are fun, and the music is infectious. That's probably why they've watched a few more times since!
Grab the kids, click over to Amazon, and check out Jungle Jim – A Musical Wildlife Adventure. With over 488 reviews on Amazon and over 1000 reviews on YouTube (not one negative reviews), it's not just the twins and I who love it! Plus, if you leave a review on Amazon and send an email with a link to your review to email@example.com, the company will mail you a free DVD of the 15 minute pilot!
Jungle Jim was created by Steven Wagner. Every night before bed his children would want to read books about animals and talk about them. Steve woke up one morning with an idea for a musical animal show, and has since been developing the concept so that he can help kids everywhere satisfy their curiosity about animals. Steven's brother Eric, who is a musician, wrote and produced all the music. Eric is also all the voices of the animal except Dash the Cheetah. Jungle Jim is voiced by Eric's son.

Education is an extremely important variable that helps us shape our profession, for anyone who wishes to have a brilliant future, education and learning is extremely essential. It aids in the general development of an individual who can offer his/her requirements and also requirements in a less complex path. If you are genuinely well enlightened after that you could be properly utilized as well as gain your income. High quality education and learning can not be managed by every person. In such case, you can conveniently rely on academic financial debts and also satisfy your instructional wishes conveniently. The federal government has initiated a conditional financing forgiveness prepare for students, as some have failed to pay back the car loans due to their poor financial circumstances.
Officially referred to as the William D. Ford Loan Program, the Obama Trainee Car loan Mercy Program obtained this label when Head of state Obama produced a couple of reforms to the financing program in 2009. The reforms solely use to federal trainee finances.
How This Can Help In Portland ME?
Federal trainee lendings are of much assistance to students desiring to pursue their university researches however are not rather monetarily qualified. With government pupil fundings gettinged of, university students will certainly be not just able to seek college researches yet additionally be able to profit from lots of settlements schemes available for them. They also require to take care of their pupil fundings and not allow this to go on default.
Who Can Qualify?
The pupil lending alleviation program is one where the pupil can use this funding and also without having for this to be repaid, if the pupil is certified. For the educator financing forgiveness program, the borrower must instruct for five consecutive years and also should be on a permanent basis. The area of teaching must remain in a low-income neighborhood or for training solutions offered to low-income households. The prospective threats experienced will certainly be not fulfilling the whole 5 years of successive teaching, for whatever reasons the pupil customer has. Federal student debts availed of by trainee consumers as well as seeking mentor jobs can be good for them, yet there are also possible threats perhaps encountered, and the debtor must apply for this not to take place.
Public student finance mercy program could additionally be availed of by student borrowers that meet the specific certifications. The government pupil loans obtained are profiting most the college students due to the fact that they could finish their university education and have a profession after graduation, and also this is one of the most the get as the benefit. They could likewise get the general public pupil loan forgiveness if they have actually made 120 funding payments or successive payments consistently for 10 years and operate in a qualified civil service company. There is additionally the threat possibly experienced, that of being disqualified like when the student financing enters into default. After several years of financing settlements without fail as well as economic trouble come, there is the opportunity of default, and this could invalidate the debtor from use this finance forgiveness program.
What Are The Choices in Portland Maine?
Without a doubt, the government trainee lendings are providing a lot more benefits to college student consumers, as well as they could likewise have numerous payment options that can be availed of. and also this is giving them a lot more benefits. Financial debt forgiveness programs can also be get, which they could not avail if they pursue the personal pupil car loans gotten from the banks. Although they might treat this with lesser top priority compared with the federal pupil loans, yet could likewise get when college funds are not nearly enough, they will not have this advantage of finance relief with the personal trainee loans.
Pupil debtors who are on the income-based settlement plan as well as making their settlements faithfully might also get gotten the loan forgiveness program if they discuss and also obtain certified. However, there could also be some risk associated with this, like the balance of the lending not forgiven is treated as earnings; therefore the consumer ought to pay taxes for this. Nevertheless, this could be the lower of the trouble dealt with because, the larger trainee financial obligation amount is forgiven. Hence, the federal student finances need to be treated more preferentially by student consumers because of numerous benefits they obtain.

On 19 November 2013, Oxford Dictionaries announced selfie as their international Word of the Year 2013. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression that has attracted a great deal of interest during the year to date. The Word of the Year need not have been coined within the past twelve months, but it does need to have become prominent or notable in that time. Selfie was added to OxfordDictionaries.com in August 2013, although the Word of the Year selection is made irrespective of whether the candidates are already included in an Oxford dictionary. According to Oxford Dictionaries editors, the use of selfie has increased an incredible 17,000 percent since the same time last year.
Research shows the word selfie in use by 2002 when it was used in an Australian online forum, where it was used to describe a photo the poster took of themselves after a drunken fall. The hashtag #selfie surfaced on Flickr two years later, but usage wasn't widespread until around 2012, when selfie was being used commonly in mainstream media sources. Selfie is not yet in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), but is currently being considered for future inclusion.

(Adds details)
JOHANNESBURG, May 30 (Reuters) - South African hotel and casino operator Tsogo Sun said on Tuesday its chief executive Marcel von Aulock would resign at the end of June after six years at the helm.
Von Aulock, 42, took over as CEO at Tsogo Sun in September 2011 and had been with the company since 1999.
Tsogo, Africa's biggest hotels and gaming group, which also has interests in Nigeria, Kenya and Mozanbique, did not give reasons why von Aulock resigned.
Von Aulock's resignation is effective from June 1, 2017 and he will be replaced by insider Jacques Booysen.
Under von Aulock, a chartered accountant, Tsogo Sun bought a controlling stake in a hospitality-focused Real Estate Investment Trust, Hospitality Property Fund to compete with property rivals and create value for its hotel business. The company also owns theme park Gold Reef City and entertainment complex Montecasino in Johannesburg.
Booysen, long considered von Aulock's natural successor, will take over at a time when the company is looking to buy more hotel assets in the United Kingdom through International Hotel Properties Limited, a European hotel investment of the firm in which it holds a 25 percent stake.

Now that my family has returned from our trip to sunny Florida, I'm back in full swing as a busy homeschool mom. While we don't homeschool year-round, we are still doing school work and focusing on areas that need extra attention while we have a less structured summer schedule. Things like SAT prep get a lot more attention from the end of May through the end of August. While this summer routine of more relaxed learning is normal for our family, we received some news that is, well, not normal. News that can easily make me say, "Hmmmm....wonder what's next?"
Just before our family left for vacation, my husband lost his job. The company he worked for has suffered some severe economic hardships and has filed for bankruptcy. I pray they are able to keep the company afloat somehow, and that all the good men and women employed there are able to keep their jobs. In this season of our lives, however, God has chosen a different path for my husband.
While we really aren't sure what is in store for us next, we are very certain of Who is in charge. His plans for our family cannot be thwarted, and there is no place we would rather be than in His hands. Yet we still covet your prayers as we seek His will and follow His leading ~ your prayer support is appreciated more than words can say!
So instead of worrying and fretting, I am actively trying to adopt an attitude of wonder and thankfulness. When concern about medical issues for our children crops up, I recall God's promises to us in His Word and thank Him for all He has done and is doing in our lives. After all, there really is no benefit to worrying and fretting only leads to evil (according to the Bible, which is my standard for living!). But having an attitude of gratitude and choosing to trust in God when I am afraid leads to peace and blessings uncountable.
My encouraging word to you today is to choose to praise God no matter what circumstances you find yourself facing. Thank Him and trust Him moment by moment. And rest in the fact that He loves you with an everlasting love.
Lord bless you today!
Day 190 done :)

text: (This is another poem I had written a while back. To be honest, I don't usually do ABAB rhyming poems. This is more indicative of my usual style, but the ABAB rhyming format has grown on me lately. Here it is.) Like the spritz of river's mist, sending chills down my spine amidst the summer's sun, fading from afternoon to evening, the glorious colors fill me with glee and anticipation, though I know not whether it is a full moon or a starless sky. The world revolves regardless. Whether my sight is far or near, the beauty of reality inspires me. The phenomenon of continuity continually causes me joy. My steps by the hour, my breath by the minute, my thoughts by the second; existence is sweet nectar, this world my flower. And you; you are my love. Not my one and only, for promises of exclusivity are but shallow lies; I cannot disgrace you or reality with that which is less than truth. Do I dare shun my eyes from all but one color? Doth I sing in but one pitch? Shall I use but one word alone...or together, must I craft a symphony of life and lore? So does the moon have many phases, shifting slightly every night, as do I shift from one greatness to the next. The wind is my herald, my proclaimer. In it's breathless, toneless embrace, you shall find harmony. As it rushes through all that you are, so too are you caught in my embrace. But the wind does not embrace you alone, and in that there is unity. Does the moon light the grass alone? Does it not also shine on the ripples of the ocean, illuminating every chaotic movement, every brush back and forth for all eternity? I am the moon; the universe the sun. It's light is my light, and it's death is my undoing. But forever shall I revolve around the earth, the guiding light of the void. But lo; when I have faded from view, so too does the universe shine once more, filling all with warmth and anticipation. (The End)

mjd04- that's an odd question, and I'd really like to know why you'd ask? Surviving Limbo is some 250 odd pages long; Surviving Limbo 5 is only a small portion of it. Of all that I'd written that section was very last thing I sat down and put to paper; it is the hardest thing I've ever written.
Your question is very voyeuristic, and I quite frankly won't even consider the things that happened in that room in another context. It was what is was, there are no maybes, other scenarios, or other endings, and I won't ponder a question that would leave me writing a fictional account about something I find no entertainment in whatsoever. Non-consensual sex is ugly no matter the circumstance, and nothing I could say or write would change anything.
I don't think this answer is the one you were looking for, but it is the only answer you'll get, and I apologize if I've misconstrued the question, but I don't think I have.

Buchanan makes Shakers exit
Bury have released David Buchanan after the defender stalled over contract talks.
Last Updated: 08/07/10 9:04pm
Bury have released David Buchanan after the defender stalled over contract talks.
The 27-year-old, a product of the club's youth system, made 206 appearances for the Shakers after signing at Gigg Lane in 2005.
Boss Alan Knill expressed his frustration with the defender after attempts to agree a new deal fell through.
"We have constantly tried to get in touch with David but have heard nothing back," Knill told Bury's official website.
"We've tried to get in contact with him for a whole month but there has been no communication whatsoever.
"It's ridiculous, it only takes a phone call but we haven't had any so I had to go out and sign a left-back.
"Joe Skarz is young and ambitious and he asked me if he was going to be playing, he had plenty of other offers. I told him yes, he would be playing."

Gautam Gambhir, who was the hero of India's hero in the finals, said that India believed that they could win the title in 2011 in the finals. India defeated Sri Lanka in the finals at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to lift the World Cup 2011 trophy at home. They became the first side to win the World Cup at home.
Gambhir scored 97 off 122 balls to anchor the Indian innings that was chasing 270+ score. He said," The first ball that Lasith Malinga bowled, I hit it for a boundary. At such times your nerves get settled as well. Whatever nerve was there, it was due to the fact that it was an international game, not because it was a World Cup final."
He said that he hadn't yet padded up completely, when Malinga got Sehwag LBW on the second ball of the Indian innings. "The good thing that happened was there was nothing in my mind. If I had to wait for my opportunity, then there would have been a lot of things that would have gone on in my mind since it was a World Cup final and we were chasing 275," Gambhir shared.
Gambhir made 109 runs with captain MS Dhoni, who made 91 runs and hit the trophy winning six off Nuwan Kulasekara.
Another KKR player who was part of that winning squad, Piyush Chawla said that he slept with his India shirt and winners medal in night after partying and celebrating with the team.

Teachers are assaulting students at record numbers. Many of these convicted teachers are either sentenced to No Jail time or very little jail time. Even Teachers merely accused of sexual assault are retaining their positions.
Mission of the Student Victim Fund
Unfortunately, there is no legal requirement for schools or courts to help the students that were victimized. Oftentimes, students who were traumatized or victimized must hire expensive attorneys or either just settle for being a victim.
The mission of this fund is to raise funds for victims, raise awareness of this crisis, and reward students, and parents, and others, who help expose teacher predators. Students and parents should be empowered to Take Back the Classroom!

Vietnam: authorities step up attacks against Church
A number of attacks against the Church have erupted in the archdiocese of Hue after the publication of a statement by Archbishop Stephen Nguyen Nhu The and his Auxiliary Bishop Francis Xavier Le Van Hong in which they condemned the confiscation of a Catholic school at Loan Ly parish and the violence of Vietnam police against parishioners who had protested against the illegal appropriation of their property.
The school, adjacent to the parish church of Loan Ly in the town of Lang Co, Hue, was built by parishioners in 1956. From the beginning, it had always been used as a Catholic Elementary and High School until local government seized it following the communist takeover of South Vietnam in 1975. Since then, Sunday catechism classes, however, have still been allowed - not without a condition- that they would be conducted under a large picture of Uncle Ho, the Communist leader, not the usual cross.
Since 1999, attempts of local authorities to convert the school into a hotel have been made continually. All have been in vain due to public protests from the parishioners. The last attempt was made by the local chief secretary of the Communist Party- Ho Xuan Man- who wanted to annex the school into his own hotel of Huong Giang. On Sunday 13 September, authorities and police - local, district and provincial - barricaded the school building. They did not allow the children to come for catechism classes, chasing them away from the school ground to build a makeshift fence around the school. Hundreds of parishioners immediately protested. Protesters started pulling down the fence, prompting thousands of police and armed police reinforcements to rush to the scene where they attacked parishioners with batons and stun guns.
In their statement issued on 23 September, the two bishops of Hue expressed their "shock and frustration with the way the government had unilaterally solve the Church property issue by the employment of violence" and called for "peaceful dialogue".
In response, Hue Television opened fire at them with a series of interviews in which government's contractors posing as Catholics verbally attacked against their shepherds. Also, newspapers in Vietnam have attacked fiercely Fr Joseph Ngo Thanh Son, the pastor of Loan Ly parish, accusing him of plotting and directing the protest of parishioners on 13 Sunday. The fact was, Fr. Joseph Ngo had been in hospital for weeks and was not at his parish at the time the incident took place.
From the diocese of Vinh, Fr John Nguyen Van Huu, the pastor of Bau Sen parish, in the village of Chay, Bo Trach, Quang Binh, reported on 24 September that local authorities of Quang Binh province sent him an ultimatum to remove a large statue of Our Lady of Lavang which his parishioners built on the top of a mountain in the parish cemetery opposite to the parish church.
On 21 September the People Committee of Bo Trach, Quang Binh issued a decree, stating that the statue must be demolished as it was built "outside the premise of a religious premise". The deadline for parishioners to remove the statue was set to be on Saturday 26 September. Three days before that date however, bulldozers were sent to the site to threaten parishioners. Since Sunday thousands of Catholics have been protesting at the site.

Be adventurous—challenge yourself to try a new fruit every week! You never know, you may love it and have a delicious new choice to add to your regular shopping list.
The produce section of your local supermarket is filled with stuff you've probably never seen before, at least not if you haven't been looking to see what's new! You'll find a lot of stuff you've never tasted, like plantains, star fruits, and lychee nuts. These odd-looking, exotic fruits may be great-tasting—or, yes, it's possible—you may not like them at all. But what's the harm in trying?
Variety is one of the keys to eating an all-around healthy diet, but the truth is, most of us get into a rut where we tend to eat the same foods over and over again. Making a game of finding something new and healthy to try every time you visit the supermarket can be a good way to expand your horizons and improve your health all at once!
It's hard to know how to select good fruits if you aren't familiar with what they are and how they should look. Use your smartphone while shopping to go online and get information about a fruit you are looking at in the store: How can you tell if it is ripe? What does it taste like? How should it be prepared—peeled, sliced, eaten whole? Also take note of the nutrients and calories.
And—always, always—make sure you wash the fruit carefully before eating!
