TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns
PHOENIX (AP) -- Zach Randolph scored 21 points and Rudy Gay added 20 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 92-81 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. Tony Allen scored 11 and Marc Gasol had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have won three of their last five games. P.J. Tucker scored a career-high 17 points and Marcin Gortat added 12 points and rebounds for the Suns. Guards Goran Dragic and Sebastian Telfair combined for just 12 points and seven assists. Phoenix has lost eight of nine and 15 of 20 dating to November 28. Despite shooting in the mid-30 percent range for the bulk of the game, Phoenix trailed 71-65 when Markieff Morris converted a three-point play 31 seconds into the fourth quarter. But Gasol scored four points, including a fallaway 17-footer, and Gay added a 21-foot jumper to key a 10-3 run that put the Grizzlies ahead 81-68. Randolph, who entered the game shooting 66.7 percent from the floor in the team's two prior meetings, shot 9 of 11...

Add mixture to skillet with pancetta and toss, adding more cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if dry.

This recipe isn't very well written... where are the measurements? We make a pretty good carbonara at my place...
2 egg yolks, 1/2 cup parmesan, black pepper mixed together. Boil 8oz spaghetti or angel hair and drain. Add egg mixture. Then we add a handful of Hormel Real crumbled bacon (but you can always add more) and 1/4 cup of heavy cream (more if you use a finer pasta like angel hair). Our carbonara comes out coated, but not like a sauce, and is quite delicious, and a really fast meal... even if its not the most authentic :)

The merging of the pally buff and shaman totem is totally stupid. They say they don't want pallies and shammies having too many unique buffs so they made our mana totem 3x as effective to try and make us the same. However, we are far from the same. As a raid leader, which mana buff would you prefer?
- Last 30 minutes
- Takes no in-combat GCDs to apply
- Remains even if the caster of the buff dies
- Stays on the target regardless of their position
- Last 5 minutes
- Takes an in-combat GCD to re-apply (and depending on the fight, the initial application will require an in-combat GCD to be burned)
- Instantly is pulled off ALL recipients when the caster of the buff dies
- Has a 30 yard range to a fixed position that requires GCD burn to change the position
Why would ANYONE prefer the shammy mana buff to the pally mana buff? The shammy buff is inferior in EVERY way. It lasts 15% as long as the pally buff, it requires in-combat GCDs to reapply for fights longer than 5 minutes or fights where you move more than 30 yards from your starting position and it doesn't persist through the death of the CASTER. Shammy dies, EVERYONE loses the buff.
Not to mention the fact that an enhancement shammy is even more useless as a mana buffer considering they are often more than 30 yards from the mana users and their totems typically are dropped near the shammy, especially if having to be reapplied mid fight.
There is no reason AT ALL for a raid leader to take a shammy over a pally when it comes to mana regen buffing. Never. And if it's between a shammy and a Ret pally that is also bringing replenishment, there is no way in hell anyone but a retarded monkey would prefer a shammy over a pally for the mana buff.
Thanks Blizz.
Both Healing Stream and Mana Spring stack if there is more than one shaman in a party. Mana Spring did not stack prior to patch 3.0.2. So if u got 4 pallys u can have only 1 GBoW. If u have 4 shammys u can have 4 totems in 1 party :)
Mana Spring stacks with the Paladin's Blessing of Wisdom.
And furthermore mana isnt a big issue anymore. At least for me as resto. So we can place at least 4 more water totems now to buff party (whoo) if they need it. Like cleanse all poison in 1 1secGCD and reaply mana buff in next 1secGCD.

Korupsi di Indonesia
Teks ini hanya tersedia dalam bahasa Inggris
The abbreviation 'KKN' is a familiar one to Indonesians. Whenever there are anti-government protests this abbreviation can be heard shouted by the protesters or seen written on banners. The abbreviation stands for corruption (korupsi), collusion (kolusi) and nepotism (nepotisme) and - much to the dismay of the majority of the Indonesian population - has been an intrinsic part of Indonesian governments, probably culminating during president Suharto's New Order regime (1965-1998). The issue of political corruption in Indonesia continues to make daily headlines in the Indonesian media and generates much heated debate and fierce discussion. In academic circles scholars have continuously searched for answers to the question whether this corruption has its roots in traditional precolonial societies, the Dutch colonial era, the relatively short Japanese occupation (1942-1945) or the subsequent independent Indonesian governments. However, an unequivocal answer is yet to be found. For the foreseeable future it just has to be accepted that corruption in Indonesia's political, judicial and corporate domains ìs (although there are some signs - which are discussed below - that point towards an improvement of the situation).
Historical Framework of corruption in Indonesia
Although there are great examples of corruption in Indonesia's earlier history, we take as our starting point president Suharto's authoritarian New Order regime (1965-1998) that was characterized by impressive rapid and sustained economic growth (with Gross National Product averaging 6.7 percent annually between 1965 and 1996) but also well-known for its corrupt nature. Suharto utilized a system of patronage to ensure loyalty of his subordinates, leading members of the national elite and critics. In exchange for business opportunities or political positions Suharto could count on their support. With the Armed Forces (including its intelligence apparatus) and huge resources (stemming from the oil booms in the 1970s) at his disposal, he became the apex of the national political and economic system, resembling the patrimonial power of traditional rulers in the pre-colonial past.
Regarding economic policy-making Suharto relied on the advice and support from a narrow group of confidants around him. This group consisted of three categories: USA-trained technocrats, economic nationalist (who supported the idea of a large role for the government in the economy) and capitalist cronies (consisting of his family members and some rich ethnic Chinese conglomerates). At times all these categories were accused of being corrupt but most emphasis went to the small circle of capitalist cronies (particularly Suharto's children) who were - much to the dislike of national businesses and society at large - the major beneficiaries of state privatization schemes and often ran large business monopolies that operated with little oversight or monitoring.
One important characteristic of corruption during Suharto's New Order was that is was rather centralized and predictable. Investors and businessmen could more-or-less predict the amount of money they had to put aside for these 'extra' costs and knew which people they were expected to bribe. But there was also the tactic of including a Suharto crony in business activities in order to reduce uncertainties caused by bureaucratic red tape. This same pattern existed on a local level where governors and local army commanders enjoyed the same privileges but were always aware of repercussions from higher up if they would push it too far. With the new era of Reformasi, that started after the fall of Suharto in 1998, this situation was about to change.
Decentralization of Indonesian Corruption
The situation changed drastically when after the fall of Suharto in 1998 an ambitious regional decentralization program was started in 2001 which foresaw the transfer of administrative autonomy away from Jakarta to the districts (not to the provinces). This new course was in line with demand of the people but had negative side effects on the distributional pattern of corruption. Bribe-taking was no longer 'coordinated' as it had been in the past but became fragmented and unclear. Decentralization meant that local governments started to produce new local regulations (often not tightly designed) which made it possible for more officials from multiple levels of the government and other agencies to mingle and request for financial extras.
Realizing the urgent need to tackle corruption (as it harms investments and generally fosters the existence of continued injustice in society), a new government agency was established in 2003. This government agency, the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, abbreviated KPK), is envisaged to free Indonesia from corruption by investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption as well as monitoring the governance of the state (for which it received extensive powers). However, opinions regarding its achievements are divided. Critics point out that the KPK is more focused on tackling lower profile figures, although recently some high profile cases such as high-ranked police officials, judges and the party treasurer of president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democratic Party have been covered. This partial success and courage of the KPK has triggered counteracts - mostly from persons that have been prosecuted or interrogated - claiming that the KPK itself is a corrupt agency. In recent years a number of scandals have emerged in which members of the KPK were - reputedly - framed by senior police officers and arrested in order to undermine the KPK's authority.
During the past two elections president Yudhoyono has profiled himself as being devoted and determined to tackle corruption in Indonesia, in particular regarding corruption within government circles. This made him very popular around the time of the elections of 2009. However, the ongoing persistence of political corruption and several high-profile graft cases within the government have caused his approval ratings to free fall after 2010. Another blow to Yudhoyono's prestige was the departure of Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Indonesia's Finance Minister from 2005 to 2010. Sri Mulyani, who enjoys a reputation of integrity (although slightly sullied by the Bank Century scandal), was tasked to reform Indonesia's corrupt tax and customs office. She had considerable success and could count on the support of many Indonesians. But her performance also created enemies. In May 2010 she left Indonesian politics to become a managing director at the World Bank Group. Widespread speculation, however, was that her resignation was due to political pressure from businesses with high political connections. In particular, the Bakrie Group was often mentioned in Indonesian media in connection herewith (Aburizal Bakrie being chairman of the Golkar party; a coalition member of Yudhoyono's government). Critics say that Yudhoyono should have supported her.
Moreover, several corruption cases - involving members of Yudhoyono's party - have emerged in recent years and have seriously damaged the allure of both his Democratic Party and Yudhoyono himself (who is regarded by some as being a weak leader because of the emergence of these corruption scandals in his party).
Positive Developments in Indonesia's Fight against Corruption
Despite this mostly negative overview, there are some positive signs. First of all it needs to be mentioned that there is a big urge from the Indonesian people to eradicate corruption in Indonesia and the free media provide ample room to deliver their voices on a national scale (although some media institutions - owned by politicians or businessmen - have their own agenda for doing this). But the popular urge to tackle corruption means that being anti-corrupt is actually an important vote-gainer for aspiring politicians. Being involved or mentioned in a graft case can seriously damage a career as popular support declines. A negative side effect (for the country's economy) of this public scrutiny is that government officials are currently very prudent and hesitant to disburse their government budget allocation, being afraid to become a victim in a graft scandal. This careful behaviour can be called the success of the influence of the KPK that is watching the money flow, but also causes slow government spending.
Berlin based politically non-partisan Transparency International publishes an annual Corruption Perceptions Index (based on polls) which assesses "the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians" in all countries around the world. It uses a scale from one up to ten. The higher the outcome, the less (perceived) corruption there is. In their latest list (2013) Indonesia occupied the 114th place (out of a total of 177 countries). However, it needs to be stressed that there is not a 100 percent accurate method to measure corruption because of the nature of corruption (often hidden to the public). The numbers below, therefore, only show the perceived degree of corruption by the participating voters in the poll of that particular country. But because a population usually has a good sense of what is happening in the country, these numbers do indicate something interesting.
Corruption Perceptions Index 2013:
|New Zealand
| -
Source: Transparency International
These numbers indicate that - in accordance with the text above - there is a rather negative public view of the degree of political corruption in Indonesia. However, when we take previous results in account the index shows a more positive trend:
Source: Transparency International
Indonesia is actually one of the few countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index that shows a steady and marked improvement, coinciding with the Yudhoyono administration which started in 2004. But it needs to be stressed that - although representing an actual development - these numbers should be handled carefully as the methodology used in the polls changes from year to year.
Regarding corruption there is still a long reform road ahead for Indonesia. Corruption hinders the country from realizing its economic potential and causes significant injustice in Indonesia's society as some people are disproportionally benefiting from a corrupt society. But credit have to be given to Indonesia's free media and the KPK as both play a vital role in the reduction of corruption.

Kim separated from Kris just a few months....makes you wonder why it ended so quick (cough cough...Kanye) Just a couple days Kanye released his new single "Theraflu" and I guess Jay forgot to tell him not to run his mouth.... In the hot track Kanye throws out a few shots saying... "And I'll admit, I fell in love with Kim'Round the same time she had fell in love wit' him" (Hint:Kris)........"Well, that's cool, baby girl, do ya thingLucky I ain't have Jay drop 'im from the team" (Hint:Kris)...Kim and Kanye have been seen out together all week long, no official statements of being together just yet....The girl moves fast.....
If you tuned into Kanye's Twitter Rant last night, you would have thought that he was running in the 2012 Election!
He had alot to say about how he wanted to change the world for the better!!! Kanye West, 34, covered several topics last night on Twitter and giving back to the world, including his plans for Donda, his brand-new, far-reaching design company named after his late mother Donda West.

According to a story published by Star Magazine, Amber Rose told the magazine that Kanye West cheated on her with Kim Kardashian. All the while Kim was cheating on Reggie Bush with Kanye. Amber also stated that Kim started sending Kanye racy pics even after she had texted her and told her to stop.
Star Magazine is a tabloid magazine so we all know that everything that we read from it is not true. This case is different. Amber has confirmed that she was quoted correctly in the publication and that she told them about the affair because she felt it was time to get it off of her chest.
I know there has been a lot of rumors circulating the internet today. After being asked the same questions over and over in every interview for so long i had to be honest and get this off my chest …
I don't lie, i don't embellish I'm not trying to hurt anyone just setting the record straight. #FAME is a Crazy thing But I'm so thankful I have a AMAZING husband that Loves and supports me to the fullest he's my Angel and
soulmate. Thank u Rosebuds and Rosestuds for understanding me Muva loves y'all so much
Notice that she did say HUSBAND…..

Back in '88, Belgian nobody Jean-Claude Van Damme made a name for himself with this vicious little B-movie about a secret, full-contact, martial-arts tournament. Within weeks of hitting the video shelves, it was a cult success with teenage boys, wannabe streetfighters and trash movie fans.
Featuring more testicle-trouncing scraps than a Millwall pub-crawl, this is a no-holds-barred, no-apologies-made chopsocky flick. And as such, it still stands up, the professionally choreographed fight scenes surviving the test of time. The same can't be said for Van Damme's limited acting - his talent has always been in the fisting, not the thesping.

Chicago White Sox (65-69)@
Minnesota Twins (67-66)

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Gordon Beckham and Paul Konerko hit back- to-back home runs to tie the game, and Alexei Ramirez's run-scoring single later proved to be the game-winner as the Chicago White Sox scored four times in the ninth to stun the Minnesota Twins, 4-2, in the finale of a three-game series at the Metrodome.
Konerko finished with two hits and pinch-runner Dewayne Wise scored the winning run for the White Sox, who snapped a five-game slide and picked up only their second win in the last 11 games overall. In addition, Chicago won for the third time in its last 19 contests at the Metrodome and remains seven games behind AL Central-leading Detroit.
Mark Buehrle allowed two runs and seven hits and is now winless in eight starts since throwing his perfect game back on July 23. D.J. Carrasco (5-1) earned the win after retiring the final batter of the eighth inning.
Denard Span went 3-for-4 with a run scored, while Jason Kubel had a two-run single for Minnesota, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Twins had won 11 of their last 14 coming in and fell to 4 1/2 games behind Detroit in the division.
"We hope this is a springboard," Beckham said of the win. "To comeback and win it like that is going to give us a lot of confidence."
Brian Duensing pitched seven innings of five-hit shutout ball, striking out seven and walking two, but took a no-decision.
Joe Nathan (2-2) came on to try and close out the game in the top of the ninth with the Twins ahead 2-0. The closer retired the first two batters before giving up back-to-back solo homers to Beckham and Konerko that tied the contest.
Nathan then walked Jermaine Dye and Carlos Quentin and was lifted in favor of Matt Guerrier, who served up an RBI single to Ramirez and uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Quentin to cross the plate for a 4-2 White Sox lead.
"I messed up a pretty well pitched ball game," Nathan said. "I think I got a little too predictable. If you become predictable they are going to hit the ball pretty hard."
In the bottom portion, Bobby Jenks allowed a two-out, pinch-hit single to Jose Morales, but got pinch-hitter Brian Buscher to fly out to shallow right to end the game and notch his 28th save of the season.
Each team threatened in the first inning, but double-play ground balls quickly ended the rallies. Both starting pitchers controlled the tempo of the game by limiting the chances for the next several innings.
In the sixth, Span reached on a single with one away and two batters later Joe Mauer's ground-rule double put runners on second and third. After Justin Morneau was walked intentionally, Kubel hit a bloop single to left that brought in a pair.
Chicago tried mounting a threat in both the seventh and eighth innings, respectively, but double-play grounders put an end to the attempts.

How To Use Coffee, Tea, and Wine To Create Works Of Art
Are you planning to give handmade this holiday season? If so, you must check out this art tutorial that artist Mandy Behrens shared on Poppytalk. Mandy used common household products to create beautiful art with an uncommon result. Kitchen colorants like coffee, tea, and wine simply applied to watercolor paper become a warm, inviting, and naturally stunning background.
Mandy stresses the importance of letting the stain happen. The effects are perfectly imperfect. The process allows you to make any potential holiday card, stationery set, or art print one-of-a-kind. Definitely my cup of tea!

At UFC 175, Lyoto Machida is presented with the opportunity to make history. If he defeats the reigning middleweight champion, Chris Weidman, he will become just one of three UFC fighters to earn a championship belt from two separate divisions. The victory would leave him hall-of-fame bound and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

It is not the easiest way to create a RESTful client, as you have to read the response yourself, as well as marshal and unmarshal Java Objects to some kind of stream, if that's what is necessary.

Is he there?
I-I don't really know whats wrong wi-…..
No he's not. e_e I don't know where he is or what he's going to do when he sees me. Oh irk…
Oh… what a pity…
And I baked all of those cupcakes…
Anyway… Would you like some?
*smiles at you happily*
*looks at cupcakes* You made those, huh?
*backs away from the door* You want to… come in?
Yup, I made them all by myself!
… Well, Monster put the chocolate chips in them, but still…
Come in…?
Why, yes! Thank you!
*walks in slowly*
So, how are you today? Sko… Skoodge was your name, right?
We only met once or twice…
*watches Keef walk in, then closes the door* Chocolate chips?
Yeah, Skoodge. I'm… different.
*fingers go into his hair, pulling one strand down* Just kinda… worried.
And you? Zim hasn't mentioned you lately, he's been so busy….
*turns around to you, tilting his head*
… Worried? … You really should try one of these cupcakes and tell me about your sorrows.
*nods and hands you one cupcake*
I'm fine, thank you!
Yeah, he's always busy, but you're nice to talk to, too!

Luke Harangody close to inking deal
Luke Harangody, aka Buzz from Home Alone, is hopeful that he will have a deal soon, perhaps by the end of this week. (CSNNE)
The agent for Boston Celtics' second-round pick Luke Harangody is hopeful to have a deal done for his client as early as this week.
His agent, Mark Bartelstein, told CSNNE.com that he plans to talk with Danny Ainge, Boston's president of basketball operations, sometime this week to try and iron out a deal for the former Notre Dame standout.
"I'm hopeful we can get it done pretty quickly," Bartelstein said.
"It's unbelievable how a guy could dominate a conference as good as the Big East for so many years, and wind up in the second round," Bartelstein said.
And there's Mark Bartelstein again. That damn guy is everywhere.
By the way, I'll tell you exactly how you can "dominate a conference as good as the Big East for so many years, and wind up in the second round." You are the size of a small forward with the game of a power forward and the athleticism of a center. Now that's not to say Harangody won't be a contributor in the league. It's only to say that he has some obstacles to overcome that more physically-talented players don't.
P.S. – "Buzz, you're not at all worried that something might happen to Kevin?"
"No, for three reasons: A, I'm not that lucky. Two, we use smoke detectors and D, we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period."
P.P.S. – "Kevin, I'm going to feed you to my tarantula."

Good Questions: Suggestions For A Micro Studio?
Hi Apartment Therapy! So I finally got my hands on a loveseat that fits my micro approximately 380 square feet apartment for $200 at Frayed Ends in Hoboken. The loveseat is great for viewing the flat screen I plan to buy — but I'm not sure if I should leave the seat as is or modify it. Any suggestions? This room still needs the most work. I plan on rotating the bed as soon as I get the radiator out and adding some art and some sort of headboard. But for now, I need suggestions please! Thanks,Tati
You're off to a great start — anyone with suggestions and advice?
18 Comments
i love the seat - don't change it.
I have a similar style sofa and my two recommendations are to get yourself something to put your feet up on (if it doubles as storage even better) and to buy a couple of pillows to cushion the arms if you like to sit on an angle. The arms on my sofa would start to dig into my back until I bought a couple of large, inexpensive IKEA pillows to jam between me and the arm. The color & condition of the sofa look nice! A large painting behind the sofa would be visually appealing, but I imagine that will come in time.
adorable throw pillows will do the trick
Maybe a couple of throw pillows?
Hows this for off-beat. How bout going to the auto section of your local dept. store and see what kind of seat covers they carry for "bench seats". The sofa looks about the right size and the covers are very strechy. No huge commitment and it comes off easy for washing. They come in so many flavors these days. Have some fun.
I like the colors of the loveseat. I have a suggestion about furniture placement, although I probably don't have a realistic idea of the space in the room. If you rotate the bed, can you also rotate the loveseat, so that it faces the door?Put a console between the bed and the back of the couch - it can be used also as a night stand for the bed with a lamp on it, etc. You should have room for a small coffee table or padded ottoman - something for your feet and also as a flat surface for a drink. Soft pillows for the couch, a great rug for the "living area" (FLOR tiles?). You might even have room for a small chair to make a conversation area with your loveseat.
Paint the wall behind the bed a contrasting color.
Holy cow it's so tiny! Adorable.
I would like to see a couple of luxe looking throw pillows.
A friend of mine uses a stack of floor pillows with a tray on top as a coffee table. I think this would work well for you too. Extra seating when needed, and a place to rest your tootsies.
cute mirrors (NOT 70s porn hotel mirrors) will help magnify the space. little plants (the union square greenmarket has some super cute TINY cacti for like $2 each), and throw pillows, yes, throw pillows!
Can you paint the walls? Because I agree with Doris. I like the loveseat as is (it's quirky) but right now it looks like it's melting in with everything else. We need to break up the color scheme that's going on in here.
Another vote for painting the walls if you're going to keep the loveseat that color.
I like it a lot, but if you only have 380sq. ft., wouldn't it be better to buy a futon and get rid of the bed and couch?
I agree with MichaelF. With only one small space, it may just feel better if you have a day look and a night look. This could easily be accomplished with a futon or a couch/bed. Then you could play around more with the arrangement of things. This is a cute space....I think you'll figure out something cool to do with it.
Thanks so much for the comments everyone. I actually have 2 other rooms. Don't ask how it's all only 380 sq feet. I have a kitchen with a table for 4 and a crate and barrel leaning wall shelf and desk in the hallway plus a full size bathroom (great W layout of apartment). So I'd like to keep the Queen size bed because I got it dirt cheap when Levitz closed there doors, it's so much more comfortable than a futon and it's got storage underneath. It's the Ikea Sultan bed. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10098893 An additional piece is definitely an option, one piece at a time due to the budget. I like the idea of painting the wall. I don't know if the room will start to look too small? My other rooms are painted and look great, I think I got lazy with the bedroom.
paint, mirrors, and throw pillows all sound good. maybe even the auto seat covers!? another thing that could soften up the sofa, if that's a goal, is to get some long strips of fabric and tightly wrap it around the metal armrests, and maybe the legs too. just a thought.
Some great ideas there. My flat is also tiny-286sq feet, and EVERYTHING has to work hard. I suggest some boxes under the loveseat for extra storage, someone else suggested a footstool that is also storage, some shelving just below the ceiling for the stuff that you use infrequently- Christmas decorations, that sort of thing. Keep an eye on your colour scheme- it doesn't have to be all one colour, but keep it the same depth of colour, if you see what I mean. I have a green living room, a pink bedroom, and a yellow hall, but because they all have the same depth of colour, they flow into each other nicely, but to stop things looking too bland, I have a couple of accents of bright colour- a bright pink elephant shaped watering can for example. Have fun!
Congrats on good buy!
PAINT the apartment in a light color that will make the couch pop (and will also make white bed linens look good). Right now, there's just too much white - and clutter.
Also, it would be a really good idea to invest in a Murphy bed.
I agree with magicsbm. Rotate the bed as you planned and then rotate the loveseat too - with a console between them (or even a low sitting dresser). I would think you could add a small storage ottoman between that and where you plan to sit the television.
I'd get some kind of slipcover for the loveseat that hangs down close to the floor - then you can add some boxes under for more storage. A throw pillow or two would complete the look of the loveseat. A nice rug in the living area and maybe another in the sleeping area would make the spaces feel a little more defined.
I doubt it's possible, but too bad your bed can't fit in the area you have the desk - it's much easier to make a living room/office look polished than a living room/bedroom.
I wouldn't paint the walls anything dark since the room is so small. If u must paint choose a cool/muted color scheme. Highlight with warm accessories. I agree with the comments re: throw pillows. Warm throw on the bed as well and a painting behind the sofa/bench could work well in this space.

Regret1 Reviews
Frank POV. What was the outcome of the kiss and what will happen next?
My whole body was tingling; palms sweaty; a riot of a heart beat inside of me which, was all down to Gerard kissing and pulling me closer to him so our chests were pressed against each other, as if we were moulding into one perfect dough.
His intentions and moves surprised me when he cupped my face in his hands and brought me towards him to delve thoughtfully on his soft lips.
In the moment, I felt weak at the knee's thinking I was going to collapse but only Gerard was there to hold me.
Fireworks of many colours and patterns were bursting in my mind, expressing the happiness and shock that I was conjuring up. I was never good with surprises.
I pulled back trying not to spoil the moment yet feeling a sneak suspicion that this was it. This was all that was going to happen and nothing else would come, just a kiss.
"No Frank, I can't do it… what was I even thinking? You're my best friend for crying out loud! I'm… I'M NOT GAY!" Gerard was panicking and regretting our kiss, his words felt like hundreds of bullets tearing through the outer layers of my heart; a heart that was once over-flowing with joy and happiness because of Gerard. But now, now it only over-flowed with a numb sceptic, making me feel nothing other than the sudden rush of tears building up in my eyes; ready to pour out.
Gerard wasn't facing me; I don't think he could handle to even look at my face right now.
He was leaning his forehead against the wall, probably thinking to himself of what a terrible mistake he made to even comfort his best friend; only to go too far and break the barrier across us only I could ever imagine being broken and ignored.
I tried not to let the tears escape but it was hopeless, I stood behind Gerard silently crying, the feeling of everything crashing down on me because I told the truth and went with my heart was disappointing as well as crushing.
All I want is to be happy; living on cloud 9 every day; a bucket of glee in the pit of my stomach always collecting more making the smile on my face bigger and brighter.
The feeling of never having anything to put me down; anxiety being pushed away because it wasn't wanted or needed; the feeling of being wanted by someone I loved who would love me back and feel the same way I did, the same way I've been feeling for so many years – keeping it a secret to myself and no one else because I knew if I told him then he would disown me and hate me for being myself; for loving him more than a best friend.
But of course I couldn't have that; I wasn't allowed to be happy and loved back.
I always knew God hated me somehow. Maybe because I wasn't like the other humans he placed on earth to make a difference, because I fell for someone completely different and in the wrongness way possible.
After a while of sniffling and hating myself, Gerard turned around to face me; looking like he'd been thinking long and hard and hopefully made a conclusion; being right or wrong.
I looked up into his glowing hazel eyes; searching for some hope that he takes everything he said back and makes me smile.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you, but I honestly mean what I said. I don't want to lose my best friend over a kiss, it was the moment which made me do it and I was confused with what you confessed to me and how I was feeling after. I'm not going to let any kiss break us apart; I want to stay friends. I hope I haven't made you hate me because I wouldn't be able to stand you upset or anything along those lines. I'm – I'm sorry" then he walked away and out the door with nothing else more to say.
He wanted to stay friends, just friends.
I couldn't move my body, I was shocked to the core and extremely upset; tears gliding down my face and I could feel a large lump in my throat.
All I wanted to do was break down crying; not to feel anything anymore but the silence of sleep.
Finally, I snapped and fell down to my knees, grasping my hair in my hands harshly whilst groaning and screaming out all my anger and self-pity.
I felt so numb, so numb there was only one thing I could think about.

Weekly Travel Writing Tip 6: Paper is better than digital
Is paper out?
In this digital age, do we still need paper?
What about the trees? Hey, is the footer of your e-mails not saying "Consider the environment before printing this e-mail" ?
True, why would we still print things? Most people have a PC and wireless networks are everywhere.
You don't need to bring your full size 17 inch laptop anymore, but for a couple of hundreds of Euros you get yourself a notebook, an Ipad or an Amazon Kindle.
While waiting for the train to arrive, one can read the daily newspaper on their Ipad. Instead of packing five heavy books to read on holiday, pack a three hundred grams weighing Kindle and have a choice of more than two hundred books. That's 1.5 grams a book. If you invest in an external memory card, you can bring books which don't weigh more than a couple of milligrams and have years and years of reading amusement.
Does this mean that we all have to focus on digital?
I think not.
How many of your favorite travel writers are bloggers? I mean, some of them will have a blog but is that what made you love them?
How many famous travel writers received their status from blogging?
Indeed, not that many.
Probably we haven't seen the end of this yet and chances are that within some time books and magazines will actually disappear, but at this very moment they still own the market of travel writing.
NomadicMatt may have more than two thousand RRS subscribers - and he's one of the best known travel bloggers - but that's nothing compared to National Geographic Traveler magazine, which has more than seven hundred thousand subscribers. Not counting the number of people who buy the magazine in the shop.
If people had to pay twenty five euros a year - the yearly membership price of NGT magazine - for reading NomadicMatt, how many subscribers would he have left?
Does this mean that NomadicMatt's writing stinks? Of course not! He's a very talented writer, just like lots of other travel bloggers out there. He's just not that recognized because he's not... on paper.
But maybe the best advantage of being a writer for printed magazines is that you can totally depend of your writing skills to secure your income.
If you want to become a well paid travel blogger, you need to be an all-round entrepreneur. Next to writing, you need at least some basic skills in web design, photography and preferably also videography. But most of all you need to have marketing skills. You need to be able to sell yourself to the readers and you need to be willing to spend hours and hours of your precious time doing this. But more about that next week.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that blogging is totally useless. Wouldn't that be bad marketing for my blog. What I'm trying to say is that getting rich and famous from blogging is very difficult.
Blogging is very cheap and everybody can do it. And in my opinion, that's also its problem. Everybody does it. It's hard to find the few good writers over the thousands of crappy blogs.
But a blog makes a great start, because at least your writing gets published. Even if you're a talented writer, it's very hard to get published in magazines when you don't have any references. You may have to write a hundred articles before one gets published.
So go ahead and blog, but keep in mind that there's always a next step: Paper.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - There's a new plan to help businesses in Collier recover from the economic slide.
It's called "Grow Collier." The program is designed to help businesses survive and thrive by informing them about free assistance offered at the Economic Development Council.
Volunteers at the Economic Development Council have already contacted 200 business owners. Their plan is to collect surveys from 150 of those businesses.
EDC volunteers also found that 40 businesses went under, but others opened their doors.
"It's the summertime and a lot of businesses are seasonal, so it's the ideal time for them to talk and answer questions about the programs we have," says Brooke Gabrielsen with the Economic Development Council.
The campaign will last from June 22 - August 23.
For more information on "Grow Collier" and other programs at the Economic Development Council head to enaplesflorida.com or call (239) 263-8989.

How much are you willing to spend?
Whenever I go shopping I try to go out knowing what I'm looking to buy. (keyword TRY) I decide what I want and how much I would be willing to pay (within reason) . If I dodn't find it for that price, it wasn't for me to have. And 90% of the time I get what I want for the price I want! ( Yay me!) Here's how I did it recently:
1. One of my first posts was about sneaker wedges. I want them!
2. Find styles I like, price them out ($40-$70)
3. How much are they worth to you? : I will only pay $20-$25 ( I don't like them that much lol)
4. Hard part.. wait! Find out when sales are at each store. Ask when sales change
5. Hunt! Keep an eye on them, check back when you can
6. When they drop the price down to your price range attack!
*7. Depending on the store/price/availability you might be able to wait for the price to drop lower! (It feels great when that happens)
I bout these yesterday $17 (Original price $45).. In budget an a style I like! It took about a month, but it was worth it!
I started this to help me budget my spending. Style isn't about how much you spend but how you feel. Try it! Need help?? Tweet me @WIXX_Shopaholic

Boomer Regrets
In my teen years, spending time with my grandparents was a great chance to get away from my parents. But my kids definitely don't see things the same way.
Sarah Bowman: When I was a teenager, I spent spring break alone with my grandmother in Florida. I am sure that taking a flight from Boston to Miami on my own was a thrill and -- since those were the days before television had captured images of beer-soaked college kids getting wasted on spring break -- I had no idea that a quiet week on a golf course with octogenarians wasn't the height of luxury. After all, it was a break from homework, my siblings and ... let's admit it: Who didn't want to get away from their parents at the height of the teenage years?
What do I remember about being with my grandmother? The little habits of her day. How she put her rings aside on the sink when she did the dishes. How she brought half a box of Pepperidge Farm croutons back to her best friend, who was staying in the condo next door, so that neither of them would owe the other for the many meals shared. And how she liked raspberries more than any other fruit.
I suggested that my 16-year-old daughter spend a week with her grandparents this summer, and she looked at me like I was asking her to repeat the fifth grade. When you live on separate coasts, the grandparent relationship is an awkward one, borne more of duty than routine. Although my family and I spend a week in my hometown each summer, it's a beach week full of cousins stuffed into rambling house. We have always been too busy trying to keep kids fed and entertained to make space for one-on-one time with Gran or Papa. And maybe that's been the mistake.
I'm always jealous of friends whose parents live nearby and can babysit or invite the family over for Sunday supper on a regular basis. A different type of bond forges when grandparents get to be an integral part of a child's rearing. That's not the bond my kids got, and it saddens me to think I've denied that pleasure to my parents as well. What's a middle-aged daughter -- a woman who still can't eat a raspberry without thinking of her grandmother -- to do? With two parents in their eighties, I think it's time to solve this boomer-generation problem. Soon it may be too late.
|Sarah Bowman is the Co-Founder of Kids Off the Couch.com. She has a BA in Semiotics from Brown University and worked in the film business as a studio executive before becoming a writer. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two teenagers.
My parents live about an hour away but my kids still don't want to spend a long time with them. That's because they don't have 100 tv channels, no video games systems, no computers to play on so for them it is very boring. I on the other hand, like you didn't require a lot as a child and loved to spend time with my grandmother. She was the best to hang out with. She taught me how to play rumming and my love for reading and she would always have candy bars (my mom didn't buy us candy)She was awesome. Kids today are so used to being stimulated all the time, they don't appreciate the "quietness" of just hanging out.
Well Chris, The amount of time spent on tv's, computers, and video games should be controlled by you. Those are special or rainy day things my kids get to do.
I grew up with my grandparents living less than five minutes away, so we've always been very close. My husband and I actually just vacationed for a week with them in Arizona. We had a blast going to the Grand Canyon and hanging out with their friends in the old folks' community they live in. I'm hoping that when we have children our kids will be as close with my parents (they live down the street from us) as I am with mine.
This was a really very good post. In theory Iâd like to write like this also - getting time and actual effort to make a great piece of writing⦠but what can I say⦠I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain something done.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, Iâll try to get the hang of it!

A yummy recipe from Beyond Parsley cookbook. This makes 2 strudel rolls. If you're not familiar with phyllo dough. It can be delicate. I unroll the phyllo sheets and keep them covered with a slightly damp, clean kitchen towel - taking out 1 sheet at a time to work with. This keeps your phyllo from drying out. Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter on the phyllo sheets.

St. Louis cats need a new home! »
Hello, animal-lovers in Missouri or willing to drive to St. Louis. Please consider adopting 7-year-old Micro or 7-year-old Confetti.
To make a long story short, a friend's mom has four cats, but she needs to get rid of these two. The family wanted to put the cats down and still will if they can't find a home within a few weeks, so these kitties really need your love. I spent a lot of time with these cats when I was in college and can't bear the thought that their lives could be cut short.
Confetti (above) is a shorthair calico female who gets along well with other pets, humans, children, and probably aliens. She's kind of fat but likes to play and show affection. But she doesn't have her shots, so she's in need of some extra TLC. Her favorite sound is an electric can opener.
Micro (above) is a social, friendly black cat with medium-length hair. When he was a kitten, he was so tiny that he could fit in your hand, hence his name, but he is the opposite of that now, as you can see in the photo. He likes to lie around and lick people and get petted. He is kind of lazy, but it's adorable. He would do best in a one-pet household as he can become a bully in competing for human attention. His middle name is James, but that's negotiable.
Want to help? You're my new favorite person! Email me, and I'll put you in touch. Give the gift of continued life for these innocent kittehs. Please and thank you!

Christmas List: Book Builds A Foundation Of Biblical Teaching To Achieve Financial Success
by Staff Reporter on 10/12/12 at 1:58 pm
No comments
Devonshire, Bermuda – The third time is the charm, right? Wrong, at least for Melvin Joell. When his third small business venture failed, Joell realized that the fault might not lie solely in an unstable economy or faulty business plan. Instead of focusing on outside factors, Joell began to look at himself and his relationship with God.
In his new book, The Art of Stewardship, Part 1: The Foundation, Joell tells how he connected the Bible's teaching to his own entrepreneurial ambitions. The secret, he says, was building the foundation of stewardship that the Bible teaches.
"When you enter the professional world, your focus turns to 'becoming' something," Joell says. "You lose sight of that well-rounded picture that you started with. Once you lose focus on that picture, the rest is lost and you are destined to be unsuccessful."
The book is the first installation of Joell's three part series that helps readers establish, build upon and ultimately profit from a firm foundation of religious and spiritual stewardship. The book is a compilation of 17 years of Joell's biblical and experiential research.
"It took a long time before I realized that my lack of success was due to a lack of God and a lack of understanding what the Bible required of me," Joell says. "The secret to financial, personal and spiritual success lies in a foundation of stewardship."
For more information on the book, visit Amazon.

Hey, I even fantasise about getting an Air elemental that moves slowly and does solid range damage tailored more for Elemental and a Water elemental that does some healing with some riptides of its own and some water themed stuff.
Perhaps Elemental Shamans could have a nasty talent that lets them drop all 4 at once... but that might be overkill XP. Hey, dreaming is free.
Earth Elemental should be given some actual utility beyond its minor leveling use. Perhaps make it so that all dmg dealt to the shaman go to him instead, like a buffed up stone claw totem and since it cant be used in arenas it wont be such a big PvP buff.
Elemental Totems are cool, no doubt about that... but they are a bit of a let down un their current state. Totems in general are in dire need of revision and retuning of the mechanic as a hole.

Cape Town celebrates Mandela's life
On Friday morning, about a hundred people gathered outside Cape Town City Hall to pay tribute to former South African president, and beloved icon, Nelson Mandela.
Source: pri.org
Oakland was the last stop of Mandela's 12-day eight-city US tour. Oakland Congressman Ron Dellums had led anti-apartheid fight in US Congress. I did not meet Mandela personally, but in group when he came into the holding area to thank us volunteers before meeting the press and taking the stage. As a refugee from Vietnam, like my fellow Vietnamese at the time, we held animosity towards the regime that forced our flee, whereas Mandela exhibited none of the hostility or hatred towards his jailers. Facing his smile and folksy manners were a DNA-altering experience.
-Sonny Le, a communications consultant in Oakland, California, recalls how Mandela helped him rethink his own past. Here is a photo that Le took of his badge from that day in 1990:
I was 18 years old, serving as a page in the House of Commons in Ottawa, when Madiba was released from prison and made Canada the first stop on his tour to thank the world for pushing to end apartheid. He and wife Winnie came to address parliament. There were two black pages and we both were determined to see, touch, meet Madiba. It felt like such a momentous occasion and he was a symbol of overcoming oppression, of the possibility of equality and justice for black people. We pages had formed an honor guard in the hallway leading to the chamber and as Madiba and Winnie walked up to us, the two of us gave them the fist-raised black power solute. They looked surprised at first, then smiled big smiles and returned the salute. We were thrilled. And a little nervous that our highly irregular actions might have some consequences for us. In the end, the Speaker and head of protocol understood the significance of the moment for two young black Canadian teens, and invited us to attend a reception with the Mandela's where we were able to meet and speak to them. It was unforgettable.

Swimsuit model Kate Upton said on Tuesday her body shut down after she posed in a skimpy bikini in Antarctica for Sports Illustrated magazine.
Upton, wearing only a white bikini bottom and an unzipped white parka, was picked as the cover girl for the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, unveiled on Monday, for the second consecutive year.
"It was freezing," Upton, 20, told NBC's morning TV show "Today" on Tuesday. "I'm from Florida, so it wasn't easy for me."
"When I came back, I was losing my hearing and eyesight. My body was shutting down because it was working so hard to keep me warm."
"She braved six days in a bikini while we were head-to-toe in jackets," said Day, who accompanied Upton on the frigid shoot.
