" Happiness ! " murmured the other, scornfully.
" A word you don't, won't understand. Yet to me it means
much. Who knows ? Perhaps there may come a day when
I shall look back upon it, and see it as empty of satisfaction
as it now seems to you.
But more likely that I shall live to
look back in sorrow for its loss."
The dialogue became such as they had held more than
once of late, fruitless it seemed, only saddening to both.
And Cecily was to-day saddened by it beyond her wont ; her
excessive gaiety yielded to a dejection which passed indeed,
but for a while made her very unlike herself, silent, with
troubled eyes.
" I had one valid excuse for coming to see you to-day,"
she said, when gaiety and dejection had both gone by. " Mr.
and Mrs. Bradshaw seriously think of going to Rome at the
end of next week, and they wish to have another day at
Pompeii. They would like it so much if you would go with
them. If you do, I also will ; we shall make four for a car-
riage, and drive there, and come back by train."
" What day ? "

Miriam agreed.
On Monday morning, as arranged, slae was driving down
to the Mergellina, when, with astonishment, she saw her
brother standing by the roadside, beckoning to her. The
carriage stopped, and he came up to sj)eak.
" Where are you off to ? " he asked.
•' You are still here ? "
" I haven't been well. Didn't feel able to go yesterday. I
"ivas just coming to see you."
" Not well, Eeuben ? Why didn't you come before ? "
" I couldn't. I want to speak to you. Where are you
going ? "
She told him the plan for the day. Elgar turned aside,
and meditated.
" I'U see you there — at Pompeii somewhere. It'll be on
my way."
"I had rather not go at all. I'll ask them to excuse me ;
Mrs. Lessingham will perhaps take my place, and "
" No ! I'll see you at Pompeii. I shall have no difficulty
in finding you."
Miriam looked at him anxiously.
'• I don't wish you to meet us there, Reuben.**
" And I do wish ! Let me have my way, Miriam. Say
nothing about me, and let the meeting seem by chance."
"I can't do that. You make yourself ridiculous,
after "
" Let me judge for myself. Go on, or you'll be late."
She half rose, as if about to descend from the carriage.
Elgar laid his hand on her arm, and clutched it so strongly
that she sank Ijack and regarded him with a look of anger.
" Miriam ! Do as I wish, dear. Be kind to me for this
once. If you refuse, it will make no difference. Have some
feeling for ine. This one day, Miriam."
Again slie loolced at liiin, and reflected. On account of
the driver, tliougli of course lie could not understand them,
tLey had subdued their voices, and Reuben's sudden action
had not been noticeable.
" This one piece of sisterly kindness," he pleaded,
" It shall be as you v^ish," Miriam replied, her face cast
" Thank you, a thousand times. Avanti, cocchiere ! "
Scrutiny less keen than Miriam's could perceive that
Cecily had not her usual pleasure in to-day's expedition.
Eveij. Mrs. Bradshaw, sitting over against her in the car-
riage, noticed that the girl's countenance lacked its natural
animation, wore now and then a tired look ; the lids hung a
little heavily over the beautiful eyes, and the cheeks were a
thought pale. When she forgot herself in conversation,
Cecily was the same as ever; mirthful, brightly laughing,
fervent in expressing delight ; but her thoughts too often
made her silent, and then one saw that she was not
heart and soul in the present. It was another Cecily than
on that day at Baise. " She has been over-exciting herself
since she came here," was Mrs. Bradshaw's mental
remark. Miriam, anxiously observant, made a different
interpretation, and was hai'assed with a painful conflict of
Jacob Bush Bradshaw had no eyes for these trivialities.
He sat in the squared posture of a hearty Englishman,
amusing himself with everything they passed on the road,
self-congratulant on the knowledge and experience he had
been storing, joking as often as he spoke.
" The lad Marsh would have uncommonly liked an in-
vitation to come with us to-day," he said, about midway in
the drive. "What pi'ecious mischief we could have made
by asking him, Hannah ! "
" There's no room for him, fortunately/*
*• Oh yes ; up on the box."
His eye twinkled as he looked at Cecily. She questioned
" Where would be the mischief, Mr. Bradshaw ? "
" He talks nonsense, my dear," interposed Mrs. Bradshaw.
" Pay no attention to him."
Miriam had heard now and then of Clifford Marsh. She
met Jacob's smile, and involuntarily checked it by her
" We might have asked the Denyers as well," said Cecily,
" and have had another carriage, or gone by train."
Mr. Bradshaw chuckled for some minutes at this
proposal, but his wife would not allow him to pursue the
They lunched at the Hotel Diomede before entering the
precincts of the ruins. Mr. Bradshaw had invariably a
splendid appetite, and was by this time skilled in ordering
the meals that suited him. The few phrases of Italian
which he had appropriated were given forth ore rohmdo,
with Anglo-saxon emphasis on the o's, and accompanied with
large gestures. His mere appearance always sufficed to put
landlords and waiters into their most urbane mood ; they
never failed to take him for one of the English nobility — a
belief confirmed by the handsomeness of his gratuities,
Mrs. Bradshaw was not, perhaps, the ideal lady of rank,
but the fine self-satisfaction on her matronly visage, the
good-natured disdain with which she allowed herself to be
waited upon by foolish foreigners, her solid disregard of
everything beyond the circle of her own party, were impres-
sive enough, and exacted no little subservience.
Strong in the experience of two former visits, Mr. Brad-
shaw would have no guide to-day. Murray in hand, ho
knew just what he wished to see again, and where to find it.
As Miriam was at Pompeii for the first time, he took her
especially under his direction, and showed her the city much
as he might have led her over his silk-mill iu Manchester.
Unin^bued with history and literature, he knew nothing of
the scliolar's or tlie poet's euthusiasm ; his gratification lay
in exercising his solid intelligence on a lot of strange and
often grotesque facts. Here men had lived two thousand
years ago. There was no mistake about it ; yoti saw the
deep ruts of their wheels along the rugged street ; nay, you
saw the wearing of their very feet on the comically narrow
pavements. And their life had been as different as possible
from that of men in Manchester. Everything excited him
to merriment.
" Now, this is the house of old Pansa — no doubt an
ancestor of friend Sancho " — with a twinkle in his eye.
" We'll go over this carefully, Mrs. Bashe ; it's one of the
largest and completest in Pompeii. Here we are in what
they called the atrium."
Cecily spoke seldom. Of course, she would have pre-
ferred to bo alone here with Miriam ; best of all — or nearly
so — if they could have made the same party as at Baise. At
times she lingered a little behind the others, and seemed
deep in contemplation of some object ; or she stood to watch
the lizards darting about the sunny old walls. When all
were enjoying the view from the top of Jupiter's Temple,
she gazed long towards the Sorrento promontory, the height
of St. Angelo.
" Amalti is over on the far side," she said to Miriam.
•' They are both working there now."
Miriam replied nothing.
When they were in the Street of Tombs, Cecily again
paused, by the sepulchre of the Priestess Mamia, whence
there is a clear prospect across the bay towards the moun-
tains. Turning back again, she heard a voice that made her
tremble with delighted surprise. A wall concealed the
speaker from her; she took a few cjuick steps, and saw
Eeuben Elgar shaking hands with the Bradshaws. He
looked at her, and came forward. She could not say any-
thing, and was painfully conscious of the blood that rushed
to her face ; never yet had she known this stress of heart-
beats that made suffering of joy, and the misery of being
unable to command herself under observant eyes.
It was years since Elgar and the Bradshaws had met. As
a boy he had often visited their house, but from the time of
his leaving home at sixteen to go to a boarding-school, his
acquaintance with them, as with all his other Manchester
friends, practically ceased. They had often heard of him —
too often, in their opinion. Aware of his arrival at Naples,
they had expressed no wish to see him. Still, now that he
met them in this unexpected way, they could not but assume
friendliness. Jacob, not on the whole intolerant, was willing
enough to take "the lad" on his presentments; Reuben
had the guise and manners of a gentleman, and perhaps
was grown out of his reprobate habits. Mr. Bradshaw and
his wife could not but notice Cecily's agitation at the
meeting ; they exchanged wondering glances, and presently
found an opportunity for a few words apart. What was
going on ? How had these two young folks become so
intimate ? Well, it was no business of theirs. Lucky that
Mrs. Baske was one of the coinpany.
And why should Cecily disguise that now only was her
enjoyment of the day begun — that only now had the sun-
shine its familiar brightness, the ancient walls and ways
their true enchantment ? She did not at once become
more talkative, but the shadow had passed uttei-ly from
her face, and there was no more listlessness in her move-
"I have stopped here on my way to join Mallard," was
all Reuben said, in explanation of his presence.
All kept together. Mr. Bradshaw resumed his interest
in antiquities, but did not speak so freely about them as
" Your brother knows a good deal more about these things
than I do, Mrs. Baske," he remarked. " He shall give us
the benefit of his Latin."
Miriam resolutely kept her eyes alike from Reuben and
from Cecily. Hitlierto lier attention to the ruins had been
intermittent, but occasionally she had forgotten herself so far
as to look and ponder ; now she saw nothing. Her mind was
gravely troubled ; she wished only that the day were over.
As for Elgar, he seemed to the Bradshaws singularly
quiet, modest, inoffensive. If he ventured a suggestion or a
remark, it was in a subdued voice and with the most
pleasant manner possible. He walked for a time with Mrs.
Bradshaw, and accommodated himself with much tact to her
way of regarding foreign things, whether ancient or modern.
Jji a short time all went smoothly again.
Not since they shook hands had Elgar and Cecily
encountered each other's glance. They looked at each
other often, very often, but only when the look could not be
returned ; they exchanged not a syllable. Yet both knew
that at some approaching moment, for them the supreme
moment of this day, their eyes must meet. Not yet; not
casually, and whilst others regarded them. The old ruins
would be kind.
It was in the house of Meleager. They had walked
among the coloured columns, and had visited the inner
chamber, whei-e upon the wall is painted the Judgment of
Paris. Mr. Bradshaw passed out through the narrow door-
way, and his voice was dulled ; Miriam passed with him,
and, close after her, Mi's. Bradshaw. Reuben seemed to
draw aside for Cecily, but she saw his hand extended
towai'ds her — it held a spray of maidenhair that he had just
gathered. She took it, or would have taken it, but her
hand was closed in his.
" I have stayed only to see you again," came panting
from his lips. " I could not go till I had seen you again ! "
And before the winged syllables had ceased, their eyes
met ; nor their eyes alone, for upon both was the constraint
of jjassion that leaps like flame to its desire — mouth to
mouth and heart to heart for one instant that coijcentx-ated
all the joy of being.
"Wheat hand, centuries ago crumbled into indistinguishable
dust, painted that parable of the youth making his award to
Love P What eyes gazed upon it, when this was a home of
man and woman warm with life, listening all day long to
the music of uttered thoughts ? Dark-buried whilst so
many ages of history went by, thrown open for the sunshine
to rest upon its pallid antiquity, again had this chamber
won a place in human hearts, witnessed the birth of joy and
hope, blended itself with the destiny of mortals. He who
pictured Paris dreamt not of these passionate lips and their
imborn language, knew not that he wrought for a world
hidden so far in time. Though his white-limbed goddess
fade ghostlike, the symbol is as valid as ever. Did not her
wan beauty smile youthful again in the eyes of these her
latest worshippers ?
And they went forth among the painted pillars, once
more shunning each other's look. It was some minutes
before Cecily knew that her fingers still crushed the spray
of maidenhair ; then she touched it gently, and secreted it
within her glove. It must be dead when she reached home,
but that mattered nothing ; would it not remain the sign of
something deathless ?
She believed so. In her vision the dead city had a new
and wonderful life ; it lay glorious in the light of heaven,
its strait ways fit for the treading of divinities, its barren
temples reconsecrate with song and sacrifice. She believed
there was that within her soul which should survive all
change and hazard — survive, it might be, even this warm
flesh that it was hard not to think immortal.
She sought Miriam's side, took her hand, held it playfully
as they walked on together.
" Why do you look at me so sadly, Miriam ? "
" I did not mean to."
"Yet you do. Let me see you smile once to-day."
But Miriam's smile was sadder th^n her grave look,
It was true enougli that Clifford Marsh would have
relished an invitation to accompany that party of four to
Pompeii. For one thing, he was beginning to have a diffi-
culty in passing his days ; if the present state of things
prolonged itself, his position might soon resemble that of
Mr. Musselwhite. But chiefly would he have welcomed the
prospect of spending some hours in the society of Miss
Doran, and under circumstances which would enable him to
shine. Clifford had begun to nurse a daring ambition.
Allowing his vanity to caress him into the half -belief that he
was really making a noble stand against the harshness of
fate, he naturally spent much time in imagining how other
people regarded him — above all, what figure he made in the
eyes of Miss Doran. There could be no doubt that she
knew, at all events, the main items of his story ; was it not
certain that they must make some appeal to her sym-
pathies ? His air of graceful sadness could not but lead
her to muse as often as she observed it ; he had contem-
plated himself in the mirror, and each time with reassur-
ance on this point. Why should the attractions which had
been potent with Madeline fail to engage the interest of this
younger and more emotional girl? Miss Doran was far
beyond Madi line in beauty, and, there was every reason to
believe, had the substantial gifts of fortune which Madeline
altogether lacked. It was a bold thing to turn his eye to
her with such a thought, circumstances considered ; but the
boldness was characteristic of Marsh, with whom at aU
times self-esteem had the force of an irresistible argument.
He was incapable of passion. Just as he had made a
pretence of pursuing art, because of a superficial cleverness
and a liking for ease and the various satisfactions of his
vanity in such a career, so did he now permit his mind to
be occupied with Cecily Doran, not because her qualities
blinded him to all other considerations, but in pleasant
yielding to a temi^tation of his fancy, which made a lively
picture of many desirable things, and flattered him into
thinking that they were not beyond his reach. For the
present he could do nothing but wait, supporting his pose of
placid martyrdom. Wait, and watch every oj)portunity ;
there would arrive a moment when seeming recklessness
might advance him far on the way to triumph.
And yet he never for a moment regarded himself as a
schemer endeavouring to compass vulgar ends by machina-
tion. He had the remarkable faculty of viewing himself in
an ideal light, even whilst conscious that so many of his
claims were mere pretence. Men such as Clifford Marsh do
not say to themselves, " What a humbug I am ! " When
driven to face their conscience, it si)eaks to them rather in
this way : " You are a fellow of fine qualities, altogether out
of the common way of men. A pity that conditions do not
allow you to be perfectly honest ; but people iu general are
BO foolish that you would get no credit for your superiority
if you did not wear a little tinsel, practise a few harmless
affectations. Some day your difficulties will be at an end,
and then you can afford to show yourself in a simpler guise."
When he looked in the glass, Clifford admired himself with-
out resei*ve ; when he talked freely, he a])plauded his own
cleverness, and thought it the most natural thing that other
people should do so. When he meditated abandoning
Madeline, his sincere view of the matter was that she-had
proved herself unworthy : however sensible her attitude, a
girl had no right to put such questions to her lover as she
had done, to injure his self-love. When he plctted with
himself to engage Cecily's interest, he said that it was tho
course any lover would have pursued. And in the end lie
really persuaded himself that he was in love with her.
Yet none the less he thought of Madeline with affection.
He was piqued that she made no effort to bring him back to
her feet. To be sure, her mother's behaviour probably
implied Madeline's desire of reconciliation, but he wished
her to make personal overtures ; he would have liked to see
her approach him with humble eyes, not troubling himself
to debate how he should act in that event. With Mrs.
Denyer he was once more on terms of apparent friendliness,
though he held no private dialogue with her ; he was willing
that she should suppose him gradually coming over to her
views. Barbara and Zillah showed constraint when he
spoke with them, but this he affected not to perceive. Only
with Madeline he did not converse. Her air of uncon-
cemedness at length proved too much for his patience, and
so it came about that Madeline received by post a letter
addressed in Clifford's hand. She took it to her bedroom,
and bi'oke the envelope with agitation.
"Your behaviour is heartless. Just when I am in deep
distress, and need all possible encouragement in the grave
struggle upon which I have entered — for I need not tell you
that I am resolved to remain an artist — you desert me, and
do your best to show that you are glad at being relieved of
all concern on my account. It is well for me that I see the
result of this test, but, I venture to think, not every woman
would have chosen your course. I shall very shortly leave
Naples. It will no doubt complete your satisfaction to think
of me toiling friendless in London. Eemember this as my
farewell.— C. M."
The next morning Clifford received what he expected, a
reply, also sent by post. It was written in the clearest and
steadiest hand, on superfine paper.
"I am sorry you should have repeated your insult in a
written form ; I venture to thiuk that not every man would
have followed this course, For myself, it is well indeed that
I see the res alt of the test to "which you have been exposed.
But I shall say and think no more of it. As you leave soon,
I would suggest that we should be on the terms of ordinary
acquaintances for the remaining time ; the present state of
things is both disagreeable and foolish. It will always seem
to me a very singular thing that you should have continued
to live in this house ; but that, of course, was in your own
discretion. — M. D."
This was on the morning when Cecily and her companions
went to Pompeii. Towards luncheon-time, Clifford entered
the drawing-room, and there found Mrs. Lessingham in con-
versation with Madeline. The former looked towards him
in a way which seemed to invite his approach.
"Another idle morning, Mr. Marsh ? " was her greeting.
" I had a letter at breakfast that disturbed me," he
replied, seating himself away from Madeline.
" I'm sorry to hear that."
" Mr. Marsh is very easily disturbed," said Madeline, in a
light tone of many possible meanings.
" Yes," admitted Clifford, leaning back and letting his
head droop a little ; " I can seldom do anything when I am
not quite at ease in mind. Eather a misfortune, but not an
uncommon one with artists."
The conversation turned on this subject for a few minutes,
Madeline taking part in it in a way that showed her resolve
to act as she had recommended in her note. Then Mrs.
Lessingham rose and left the two together. Madeline
seemed also about to move ; she followed the departing lady
with her eyes, and at length, as though adding a final
remark, said to Chfford :
" There are several things you have been so kind as to
lend me that I must return before you go, Mr. Marsh. I
will make a parcel of them, and a servant shall take them to
your room."
"Thank you."
Since the quarrel, Madeline had not worn her ring of
betrotlial, Tout this was the first time she had spoken of
returning presents.
" I am sorry you have had news that disturbed you," she
continued, as if in calm friendliness. " But I dare say it is
something you will soon forget. In future you probably
won't think so much of little annoyances."
" Probably not."
She smiled, and walked away, stopping to glance at a pic-
ture before she left the room. Clifford was left with laiitted
brows and uneasy mind ; he had not believed her capable of
this sedateness. For some reason, Madeline had been dress-
ing herself with unusual care of late (the result, in fact, of
frequent observation of Cecily), and just now, as he entered,
it had struck him that she was after all very pretty, that no
one could impugn his taste in having formerly chosen her.
His refei'ence to her letter was a concession, made on the
moment's impulse. Her rejecting it so unmistakably looked
serious. Had she even ceased to be jealous ?
In the course of the afternoon, one of Mrs. Gluck's ser-
vants deposited a parcel in his chamber. When he foimd it,
he bit his lips. Indeed, things looked serious at last. He
passed the hours till dinner in rather comfortless solitude.
But at dinner he was opposite Cecily, and he thought he
had never seen her so brilliant. Perhaps the day in the
open air — there was a fresh breeze — had warmed the ex-
quisite colour of her cheeks and given her eyes an even
purer radiance than of wont. The dress she wore was not
new to him, but its perfection made stronger appeal to his
senses than previously. How divine were the wreaths and
shadowings of her hair ! With what gracile loveliness did
her neck bend as she spoke to Mrs. Lessingham ! What
hand ever shone with more delicate beauty than hers in the
offices of the meal ? It pained him to look at Madeline and
make comparison.
Moreover, Cecily met his glance, and smiled — smiled with
adorable frankness. From that moment he rejoiced at what
bad taten place to-day. It had left him his complete free-
dom. Good ; he had given Madeline a final chance, and she
had neglected it. In every sense he was at liberty to turn
his thoughts elsewhither, and now he felt that he had even
received encouragement.
" We had an unexpected meeting with Mr. Elgar," were
Cecily's words, when she spoke to her aunt of the day's
Mrs. Lessingham showed surprise, and noticed that Cecily
kept glancing over the columns of a newspaper she had care-
lessly taken up.
" At Pompeii ? " ♦
" Yes ; in the Street of Tombs. For some reason, he had
delayed on his journey."
" I'm not surprised."
"Delay is one of his characteristics, isn't it?" returned
the elder lady, with unaccustomed tartness. "A minor
branch of the root of inefficiency."
" I am afraid so."
Cecily laughed, and began to read aloud an amusing pas-
sage from the paper. Her aunt put no further question ;

2:45pm Friday 20th September 2013
A FORMER headteacher has admitted her monitoring of its financial situation as "woeful," but strenuously denied she fabricated invoices as a cover-up.
Claire Gething, who was in charge at Usk Primary School from 2005 to 2011, gave evidence at a General Teaching Council for Wales hearing yesterday.
Mrs Gething admits four allegations of failing to carry out her role as head effectively, including failing to implement recommendations made by auditors and failing to effectively monitor, supervise and manage the school administrator and accepted that it amounted to unacceptable professional conduct.
She denied three allegations of being complicit in fabricating invoices, an independent auditor's report and class lists of income received into the school private fund account and this behaviour was dishonest.
Mrs Gething, who has since returned to the classroom, was asked about her monitoring of the school's finances, which had a deficit of £82,000.
She said: "It was woeful and I take full responsibility for that. I failed in my role as headteacher and I was out of my depth."
Mrs Gething said she'd had a support system for financial matters at her old school and at Usk, had entrusted school administrator Angela Williams to keep a check on things. She admitted her managerial qualities were not up to task but added: "I did not manufacture invoices."
The hearing was told the school had thousands of pounds of unpaid invoices. Mrs Gething said Mrs Williams had said she would sort it out.
On the audit report, she said: "I had been led to believe the audit had been undertaken by a colleague." Mrs Gething said at one stage, the caretaker had to break open a cupboard and in it were cheques, unpaid invoices, dinner and swimming money.
An auditor found before that no cash was banked into the private school account for two and a half years.
GTCW presenting officer Lousha Bryl said Mrs Gething had brought the school into disrepute, it was chased by creditors, was subject to a police investigation and impacted on standards of learning. Her defence said no real effort had been made to determine when the documents were created. The committee retired to October 23 to consider their verdict.

The Last House On The Left (2009) Review
Written by: Gardenofstone10
From the first scene of this movie to the very, very end, you can't help yourself but to be glued to the screen.
Quick, nonspoiler, plot:
Movie starts out with us establishing our bad guys. Then cuts to the two girls showing their friendship. Hell breaks loose from there.
That's about all I can say about the movie without spoiling it, specifically at least.
This movie is a show all crazy ride. I mean, we have drug use, a rape scene and a half, murder a couple times and mostly, brutality. The original wasn't really that good of a movie so I thought this would follow the footsteps but this one stands tall above the original. This is one of the better movies I've seen this year.
My main concern with this movie would have been the soundtrack choice. Recent remakes like Friday the 13th and My Bloody Valentine, although both great movies, had an inappropriate soundtrack that cheesed up the movie a bit. This movie didn't have that at all. This went back to the days of creepy music, ominous music. It's perfect.
Another very convincing part of the movie was the acting. The bad guys, victims and the family were all perfectly casted to the point where I didn't know it was a movie. I don't even want to know how people can learn to act like that just short of actually experiencing this.
If you have seen the movie, you will get this......I will NEVER, EVER look at a microwave the same way again!
Rent this, buy this, win it on the site, get your fucking hands on this movie right now. Peace.

Datatech SmartSoft to Demonstrate PressWise End-to-End Workflow Within HP Booth at GRAPH EXPO
Datatech SmartSoft will be demonstrating its print workflow automation software at two locations at GRAPH EXPO: the SmartSoft booth #751 and also within the Hewlett-Packard booth #3210.
Datatech SmartSoft has announced that they will be demonstrating its print workflow automation software PressWise at two locations at the upcoming GRAPH EXPO show in Chicago – at the SmartSoft booth #751 and also within the Hewlett-Packard booth #3210.
HP is demonstrating the benefits that a true end-to-end automated workflow solution – from order capture to finishing - can deliver to their customers.
PressWise will be the workflow engine that drives this demonstration, taking orders from a variety of different storefront applications - including its own proprietary web-to-print storefronts – and running them through a single, universal workflow to an Indigo digital press. Each job will then flow to a Duplo 645 digital color finishing machine using a barcoded process that contains all the information required to automatically finish each order.
"The benefits of a single, universal, integrated workflow cannot be overstated," said Eric Wold, VP of Datatech SmartSoft. "Automating your workflow means fewer touchpoints are required to run each job, resulting in a much more efficient use of resources and a dramatic increase in throughput. It also means you can run a greater variety of jobs, including shorter-run jobs that were once unprofitable.
"PressWise is designed to make it easy to integrate third-party applications into your workflow too. We integrate seamlessly with most third-party storefronts, for example, helping our clients to maximize the ROI on their existing investments. Our clients are enjoying greater consistency and reliability, along with faster turnaround times, and these benefits are being passed on to their customers.
"As a workflow solution partner of HP, we have a significant amount of customers running PressWise with their Indigo presses, so we're excited to be a part of this demonstration."
Demos will be hourly at Booth 3210 throughout the show, with ample time for one-on-one demonstrations all-day long.

Director: | Michael Mann |
Actors: | Madeleine Stowe, Daniel Day-Lewis, Johdi May |
Director/co-writer Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans is a soaring story of transcendent love, an authentically detailed recreation of a turbulent era in U.S. colonial history and an exciting saga of flintlocks-and-tomahawks warfare. Daniel Day-Lewis (as Hawkeye) and Madeleine Stowe (as British transplant Cora) are lovers caught up in the tumult of the French and Indian War in this 1992 Academy Award winner set to a rapturous score by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman.
The tale itself is a personal touchstone for Mann (Heat, The Insider): the 1936 screen version was the first movie he recalls seeing as a child. It's hard not to detect a sense of boyhood wonder in Hawkeye's outsized heroics. Here, Mann augments that with a bravura style and sweep that shows why he's one of today's most electrifying moviemakers.

While Mother Nature shows off her autumnal assets, these getaways add to the seasonal spectacle with lots of colorful goodies:
Drift above the treetops in Hocking Hills, 40 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, and feast your eyes on a blazing tapestry of color sweeping across 10,000 acres: the fiery reds and oranges of maples, the bright yellows and golds of aspens, oaky browns and rusts and the deep evergreen of pines and hemlocks.
Guests of A Georgian Manner, a bed and breakfast inn overlooking Lake Logan in Hocking Hills State Park, may book a hot air balloon for an early morning or evening float above the forests, waterfalls, caves and cliffs.
Back on terra firma, innkeeper B.J. King offers guest rooms characterized by lake views, Civil War-era antiques and Jacuzzi baths.
Additionally, guests can take in the fall color via horse-drawn wagon through Hocking Hills. Departing from the Lake Hope State Park Nature Center, the free rides are offered from 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 13, 20 and 27. Free fall color hikes also are led by state park naturalists.
Storytelling fall hikes, led by a flute-playing native Shawnee guide, are offered for a fee. Fluent in the life, song and history of his people, Wehyehpihehsehnhwah's (pronounced Wee-uh-puh-SHEN-wah) tours take visitors to undiscovered areas of Hocking Hills.
• Details: www.1800Hocking.com, 800-462-5464.
Enjoy autumn's spectacle in Camden, Maine, where the historic waterfront lends an equally brilliant palette to the show. Rooms at the Hartstone Inn have fluffy featherbeds and fine linens, candlelight and fresh flowers, gas fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. The B&B also offers a "Whatever Floats Your Boat" package for $202 in addition to your room charge.
Set sail from Camden Harbor and along Penobscot Bay for a two-hour adventure aboard the Schooner Surprise or take an eco tour on the Lively Lady Too lobster boat. You'll board with one of the inn's Maine lobster roll picnic pails, which includes twin Maine lobster rolls, fresh dill, Maine potato salad and the Pine Tree State's signature treat, the cream-filled chocolate whoopie pie.
Post-sail, the inn's five-course gourmet dinner for two features fresh seafood and dishes made with local ingredients and reflecting the season. The package also includes two nights' lodging and multi-course breakfasts. The menu at the onsite Hideaway Spa includes scrubs and massages, including the inn's trademark massage that includes a warm lavender foot soak.
• Details: www.hartstoneInn.com, 800-788-4823.
The AAA Four Diamond-rated urban retreat, The Chattanoogan Hotel, in Tennessee, is feting autumn's beauty with a Fall Getaway package available through Nov. 20 and starting at $99 per night. The hotel is within strolling distance of the Tennessee Aquarium as well as Chattanooga's museums, art galleries, shops and restaurants.
Adding to the theme will be hot apple cider and gingerbread cookies; freshly baked apple pie topped with bourbon ice cream; a Fall Harvest Tasting at the hotel's Broad Street Grille; and special treatments at The Spa at The Chattanoogan, like the Organic Spiced Pumpkin Chai Treatment Package. This seasonally-inspired 50-minute massage is complemented by a full body exfoliation and organic pumpkin Chai body masque, organic ginger foot soak and pumpkin Chai natural exfoliation and foot masque.

An exclusive first look of the new Squeaky Bean, opening Monday
"I'm a perfectionist, and I have high expectations," admits MacKissock, who credits his staff for pumping creativity into his veins. "My team is really special," he adds, pointing to his sous chef, Blake Edmunds, an alum of Fruition, who MacKissock insists will one day become "one of the best executive chefs in Denver, hands down." MacKissock also gives shout-outs to his other sous chef, Josh Bitz, a guy who MacKissock calls his "right-hand man who anticipates my every need."
MacKissock recently hired Darren Pusateri, formerly of the Den Corner Restaurant Group (Sushi Den, Izakaka Den) as a line cook, and Josh Olsen, who oversees Squeaky Acre, the Bean's ten-acre farm in Lakewood, is his kitchen manager. "Darren is awesome and can kill a station every single day, and Josh is our puppeteer and the hardest-working guy I've ever met in my life," says MacKissock.
"We just want to expose people to different types of fun in really fun ways," stresses MacKissock. "We want to be the restaurant that doesn't follow the rules, and because we don't have boundaries, we can do that. We want what everyone else doesn't have."
Mission accomplished.
I had the opportunity to stalk the new Squeaky Bean yesterday afternoon, and it was awesome to see MacKissock in his new kitchen, which has everything the old Bean kitchen didn't, including a French top. "I'm pretty happy that we have air conditioning, but my favorite piece of equipment is definitely my French top. I've always loved this classic, classic piece of equipment. It's incredibly useful, although I gotta say that I'm having fun playing around with all my new stuff," he says.
The Bean will roll out cocktail hour in a few weeks, a program spearheaded by Sean Kenyon, who also tends bar at Williams & Graham, and by mid-July, the kitchen will add Saturday and Sunday brunch. "The cocktail program is unlike anything Sean has ever done -- it's going to blow people away," says MacKissock.
In the same way, I imagine, that the space -- and MacKissock's food -- blew me away last night. Herewith, the photos of the new Squeaky Bean.

Leonard Grossman, webmaster emeritus |
Rabbi Robin Damsky began her tenure at West Suburban Temple Har Zion in July, 2010. Previously she was both the rabbi and education director for Congregation Or Chadash in Scottsdale, Arizona from 2006-2010. She was ordained in 2006 by the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles. She also holds two Masters Degrees, one in rabbinic studies from the University of Judaism (2003), the other in Jewish education from the Jewish Theological Seminary (1996).
�I am looking forward to building a vibrant kehillah (community) at West Suburban Temple and to growing the education programs for youth and adults,� Rabbi Damsky said. �I hope to explore creative ways of expressing Conservative Judaism and to build bridges with the interfaith community.�
Rabbi Damsky recently co-authored Find, Fulfill, Flourish, an inspiring book of stories with guidance and practical tools for leading a fulfilling and purpose-guided life.
Her background includes serving as a teacher, counselor and administrator at synagogues in Southern California and Camp Ramah in Ojai, Calif., as well as teaching Hebrew high school, religious school and day school in Rhode Island, New York and California.
Rabbi Robin�s path to the rabbinate began when she was in her early 40s; the death of her grandfather was her inspiration. "I wanted to honor his memory with my life,� she said, �and studying to become a rabbi was the best way to do that. My grandfather had a strong commitment to serving others and to strengthening community. Both of these are cornerstones in my rabbinate that I facilitate through a deep love of people and a focus on relationships.�
Rabbi Damsky can be reached by calling the synagogue office at 708-366-9000 or by e-mail
at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dr. Victor A. Mirelman has been rabbi of West Suburban Temple Har Zion since 1990.
From 1975-1989 he was the spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Israel in Milburn,
New Jersey, at which time he was also Visiting Professor of History at the Jewish

in Jerusalem, concentrating his courses in the modern and contemporary history
of the Jewish people.
A native of Argentina, Dr. Mirelman received an M.S. in Mathematics from the University
of Buenos Aires.
He was ordained as rabbi at the Jewish Theological Seminary and received his doctorate
from Columbia University.
He is an authority on Latin American Jewry, an area to which he devoted his doctoral
dissertation and numerous articles in scholarly publications. Rabbi Mirelman also
has a special interest, both personal and academic, in Sephardic Jewry. His most
recent book, Jewish Buenos Aires, 1890 - 1930, was published by Wayne State
University Press.
In 1991 he was appointed Professor of Jewish History at Spertus College in Chicago.
In 2005 he was elected President of the Chicago Board of Rabbis.
The Rabbi can be reached by calling the synagogue office at 708-366-9000 or by e-mail

11 miles—stick a fork in it! But now I'm paying the price—stiff legs. Running an 11 mile long run and then sitting in a car for 2 hours probably isn't the best game plan. Lucky for me, the hotel in AC has this:
and although I'm not a fan of sitting in tubs (too nerve-wracking—I spend all my time thinking of the things that I should be doing), I may just have to give in just this once.

If you /shout any stupid ****, make excuses or say pretty much anything else but GG then you just come across as a sore loser. Is it their fault that they are in a big group? Whitefall is a popular server and people group up in numbers to give themselves an advantage... again this is part of the game and it is a PVP server.
2. Don't gloat when you win... You know how everyone hates a sore loser? The opposite is true. Beating someone is more than enough humiliation and actually it doesn't hurt as much when your victor starts spouting crap because then you know they are an idiot.
3. Don't give up... If you die, respawn, regroup and give it another go. Outnumbered? So what... focus fire and take a few of them down with you. Some of the best battles I've had have been when outnumbered. Plus it's a win/win situation. If you all die, they had a bigger group, and you had the bigger balls and you gain some respect in the process.
In the end it comes down to mutual respect and understanding... Might seem a strange one given how much bollocks is on this forum but the reality is the opposition are exactly like you, there is no difference, we all experience the same PVP game play, the same frustrations. We've all been spawn camped, been zerged, followed and harassed... getting annoyed about it makes no sense.
The best PVP players in my experience are ones that win with humility and die with honor and keep coming back regardless, this is true no matter what game I've played.

New government figures show that American consumers are still going shopping, despite a weak recovery and uncertainty in Washington. Retail sales were stronger than expected in May, growing by 0.6 percent from April. That rate of growth beat economists' consensus estimates of 0.5 percent, according to Bloomberg, and is the best reading in three months.
[READ: Consumers Blink, Retail Sales Fall in April]
A vast majority of May's retail sales growth was from auto sales, which grew by 1.8 percent over the month. Spending was also strong on food (up 0.7 percent from April) and building materials (0.9 percent). The figures also reflect a 4.3 percent increase in overall sales since May 2012.
Even excluding auto sales, retail sales grew by 0.3 percent, a figure that is itself encouraging, says Michael Dolega, economist at TD Economics, in a commentary on Thursday's numbers. He adds that the strong retail figures show the recovery to be resilient, in spite of fiscal tightening in Washington.
[PHOTOS: New York International Auto Show 2013]
"Surging house prices, equity markets, and consequently household wealth – which set a new record in the first quarter – have boosted morale," Dolega says. "Coupled with a gradually recovering labor market, consumers continued to spend."
Still, despite the bright spots in May's report, there are still a few reasons for concern in the retail sales numbers. Sales at furniture, clothing, and electronics businesses all fell in May.
"Apart from autos, consumers are staying away from big-ticket purchases and are buying more of what they need rather than what they want," says Leslie Levesque, senior economist at IHS Global Insight.
[ALSO: Why Shopping Can Be Good for Your Health]
Investors have recently kept close watch on every economic indicator for a sign of when the Fed will end its program of monthly asset purchases known as QE3. While a strong retail sales number might support the case for dialing back the stimulus, recent data have been mixed, and low inflation leaves room for yet more money printing, Dolega says.
"We still believe that given little to no inflation in the economy and still-subdued payroll figures, the FOMC will wait until after Labor Day to slow the pace of purchases."

Green Windows and Earthen Floors
From Dean Dowd on January 21, 2009 in Green Remodeling
If you are like many of us who are concerned about converting our homes and our overall way of life toward more eco-friendly practices and products, then you probably always welcome new sources to support your lifestyle. Here are a couple of ideas we found intriguing:
Learn more about green windows.
This article compares and contrasts the various types of windows based upon their "green" value. It rates each product by how sustainable and energy efficient it is, its pollution impact both in its creation and disposal, and how it ultimately impacts the building's greenness as a whole.
Consider installing earthen floors.
These aren't quite like those described in "Little House on the Prairie," but almost just as natural and sustaining. These clay floors are constructed in location by pouring a wet mixture of sand, straw, and clay over a gravel sub-floor. The hardened clay is then polished and sealed to create a natural flooring that absorbs heat for solar thermal heat gain and has a minimal carbon-footprint. The floors are also less expensive to install than other flooring materials.
One of the added benefits of visiting helpful sites like these is that you are directed to sister sites and other beneficial resources. The growing green lifestyle is supporting a whole network of information and support so that we all can share information and ideas.

Romantic ocean view cottage on over an acre of land across a small country road from the Drift Inn Beach - sandy and good swimming. Sweeping views to the south out to Brothers Island and the open Atlantic. Front yard graced with maples, fragrant firs, and a path that winds to the beach only 150 feet away.
10-15 minute walk into Port Clyde's restaurants and galleries (less than a mile). Buy your lobsters directly from the lobstermen themselves. Ferry to Monhegan Island (departing from Port Clyde) makes a great day trip.
New (built in 2000) cedar-shingled house. Interior is sunny and light, crafted from wood throughout, with contemporary furnishings. Front porch with hammock, deck chairs and Atlantic views. Play croquet on our seaview lawn or bocce in our wooodland glade.
Enter from the back of the house into open great room with beechwood floors and ocean views. Well-equipped kitchen off entry door. Small sea view "relaxing" nook to left of great room. First-floor bedroom with double bed and full bath (T/S).
Up the carpeted stairway to master (queen-size) and new luxury bath with tiled shower. Small "morning" balcony and computer nook with internet access. Go up a few steps to the sea view cupola/study with a desk and a futon. This is good sleeping for anyone who wants to be lulled to sleep by the sound of lapping waves. Note: no door on cupola, therefore, not an enclosed room.
Included is a separate 14x20 rustic bunk house with an ocean view, a cheery wood stove and twin beds. Kids love it!
Keywords: Seaside Cottage
Please see the feature about us and our cottage in the New York Times "Escapes" section (9/11/09)
We love Maine and its rugged coast, brilliant light, and bracing air!
Being at our cottage is a return to nature and a simpler style of life -- the years roll back as we drive down the peninsula to our getaway. We are connected with the world by modern communications, but far away physically and mentally. And we eat so well!!!!!
Kayaking, Monhegan Island excursions, local art galleries, scenic airplane flights, bocce court, croquet

It's Tiger Day - The New Mac OS Launches
I am thinking that, while only 5% of computers sold are Mac's, today's Tiger release is going to be a big deal. Despite the efforts of some to see that it didn't happen, Apple is going to be launching Tiger in a big way. Be sure to hit your local Apple Store to be a part of the festivities.

I was thinking about getting this but the only thing I really want is widgets…I think they would be fun for about 30 mins and that would be it.
oh, I thought this came out a few days ago….heheh .
I don't even think I am going to install it right now. My mac mini still has the default 256k memory and it probably wouldn't like this much heheh.
yeah it is the default config for the mac minis. Every review that I have read about the mac minis points out that that is just not enough memory to make it run smooth. No idea why apple would not just make it have 512 default to make it more stable and quick.
oh well, not like it is that much to get some more memory heheh .

A Trip to Tanguar Haor, a Natural Phenomenon
When thousands of birds fly over your head, you can feel your blood running faster and you start to fly with those thousands of colorful feathers. It's crystal clear water where you can easily see the fishes swimming around. WiserLocal Dhaka organizer Adib Khondoker Ratul reflects on a recent field trip. |
Knowledge has the ability to change the world. It can even change one's own vision, inner motivation and ethical background. What drives me to protect the environment is not only ethics, but also the core scientific and philosophical knowledge (I am still learning) from my educational institution. I am studying Environmental Sciences at the Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh. This is the place where my knowledge is derived–of how the earth works and how human and Mother Nature affect each other. From Geology to GIS and Meteorology to analytical Chemistry, I found these subjects tough but also challenging. It is true that being armed with knowledge and imagination gives us the opportunity to conquer the whole world.
Our Earth comprises of thousands of complex natural phenomena with unique natural balance. To maintain this natural balance we, as the only conscious animal found in the world, have the highest edge of responsibility. In order to reach a true understanding and fundamental solutions for all environmental problems, it is important to study how the Earth and human beings can coexist in more sustainable ways.
It is very realistic that polluted air, impure drinking water, and toxicity in soil, water, air and food are not gifts of nature. Instead, clean air to breath, pure drinking water and nutritional food are the gifts of nature presented by our Allah (SWT). We have to think seriously to protect this nature for our own sake and for our future generation. We have to start a sustainable lifestyle, even if it's in a small scale.
Besides the theoretical side of learning, we pay many field trips each year with our department to different parts of our country. Recently, we paid a visit to Tanguar Haor (a marshy wetland) and a place named Amalshid from where Barak river of India enters into Bangladesh by Shurma and Kushiara. Barak is the river where India proposed to build a high dam for electricity and irrigation purposes.
Tanguar Haor (probably the second largest wetland in Bangladesh) is one of the most unique places, rich in biodiversity. Many migratory birds land here every winter. When we entered into the Haor area, we saw thousands of migratory birds flying, catching fish, swimming. The entire natural landscape is so amazing that one couldn't imagine it until see it with their own eyes. When thousands of birds fly over your head, you can feel your blood running faster and you start to fly with those thousands of colorful feathers. It's crystal clear water where you can easily see the fishes swimming around. Nature always widens your insight, strengthens your passion, love and patriotism.
Tanguar Haor exhibits a unique wetland ecosystem. Considering its ecological importance, it has been declared as Ramsar Site. Two NGOS are responsible for its conservation: IUCN and CNRS.
Through WiserEarth, I found a nice social network to share my views and environmental insight with other people from the rest of the world. In the end, I say: Green your thought, Green your Environment. As Paul Hawken said in his book Blessed Unrest, the way we harm Earth affects all people. How we treat one another is reflected in how we treat the Earth.

After driving in city traffic for about an hour the car dies usually at a red light or stop sign. Sounds just like it is out of gas but it cant be because I put in plenty of gas when I started driving. So I add about a gallon out of my portable gas tank and everything is fine again. The car is running very cool as I have a new radiator. When I add that gallon of gas after my car dies it seems like it loosens up a possible blockage. Could this be a fuel filter problem or could my fuel injection be bad. Thanks for your help. dko

Copper Beach (Dark Legacy Novel)
Title: Copper Beach (Dark Legacy Novel)
Author: Jayne Ann Krentz
KDL Description:
After a deadly incident in the private library of an obsessive rare-book collector, Abby Radwell, a psychic who is able to detect paranormal secrets in old texts, hires investigator Sam Coppersmith to track down a killer with supernatural abilities.
Amazon Description:
A rare book. An ancient code. An all-new novel from the New York Times bestselling master of passion and the paranormal.
Within the pages of very rare books some centuries old lie the secrets of the paranormal. Abby Radwell's unusual psychic talent has made her an expert in such volumes-and sometimes taken her into dangerous territory. After a deadly incident in the private library of an obsessive collector, Abby receives a blackmail threat, and rumors swirl that an old alchemical text known as The Key has reappeared on the black market.
Convinced that she needs an investigator who can also play bodyguard, she hires Sam Coppersmith, a specialist in paranormal crystals and amber-"hot rocks." Passion flares immediately between them, but neither entirely trusts the other. When it comes to dealing with a killer who has paranormal abilities, and a blackmailer who will stop at nothing to obtain an ancient alchemical code, no one is safe.

Why Low Inflation Seems High
Reader Comments
Japan central bank impose 0% interest rate since 16 years, and make QE after QE so that small Japan has approximatively printed as much money as big USA (please Google: "global narrow money supply" in pictures). Has Japan created hyper-inflation? NO! Private banks have created worldwide from nothing 1 quadrillion $ liquidities (Google "quadrillion $ derivatives", in text). Has they created hyper-inflation? NO! So the FED QE2 of 0,0006 quadrillion $ will not create hyper-inflation! The only way to create hyper-inflation is to hyper-inflate the financial costs to 21%, as Adolph Volcker did in 1981, rising massively Consumer Prices in the eighties, because farmers have debts, and if the banks want 21% financial costs from the farmers, then farmers must pay 21% interests, so they must rise all food prices! In China, central bank inflate financial costs now, and farmers are forced to rise food prices +10%. In USA, financial costs are low, but israeli traders speculate on cereals, because they want that Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Iran etc changes to democratic countries... And banksters speculate also on oil price, because they are allowed from Basel 3 to use a leverage factor of 33! USA would need a QE3, but only combined with a pharaonic project to give work to 50 millions discouraged workers in USA: without pharaonic project, QE3 would be stupid!
those who feel inflation is under control and the economy is improving have
their head in a position similar to the ostrich. They most certainly are driving
a foreign car, wearing clothes made abroad, eating imported food(and not
Chilean sea bass) and wondering why everyone is not employed as they are.
If there is an answer you must look inside yourself to find it.
Recently the Chinese communist leader told us that the American dollar is a product of the past. Well I hate to say it but that commie bastard is probally right. Our "own" "American" corporations have sold us out to the Chinese for a fast buck. Remember that most of these are international corporations and see no difference between American labor and third world labor. They have been allowed to place the American people upon an unlevel playing field with regards to wages and free trade. Without stiff tarrifs we can't compete with the pitifull wages. Look at lack of environmental regulations in China! And what about red tape that companies have to put up with In the USA. The new carbon taxes, clean water regulations, taxes, fees,lawsuits, fines ect.... Wake up America or it will soon be a quick down hill slide into third world status.
Politicians conspire to falsely lower inflation because:
(1) Social security, federal and local pensions, new federal securities such as I-bonds, and many other outlays are essentially indexed to reported inflation rates. Less reported inflation equals lower than otherwise money out and lower deficit spending (which they waste elsewhere.)
(2) They want to look good to the public. Inflation breeds voter dissatisfaction with the party in power and reflects badly on their image. (No second term for you, naughty Jimmy Carter!)
(3) Government economists in planning positions display themselves in their Emperor's New Clothes to their peers. Treasury Department types brag to their counterparts abroad facing reportedly higher prices.
From my many years observations as as a financial economist on Capitol Hill.
As I watch prices in the United States rise for basic staples, more and more homes and jobs lost, and see that corporations are making bigger profits than ever, and the wealthy are enjoying even greater monetary success, I realize, with great sadness, that we are treading down the road to being a third-world country. For those of you who do not study history, SES and health statistics, World Banking and World Trade, etc., a country becomes a third-world country when the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle-class disappears.
The United States has sold themselves out to corporate power, has allowed corporations to become citizens of the United States--citizens, by the way, with tons of money--and we all well know--money talks. While all this was going on, I watched editorials, newspapers, "certain" radio and television programs, and online blogs and comments, deteriorate into propaganda. These propaganda programs are paid, also, by corporations who have already dismissed the human citizens of this country to a "have not" status, while the corporations are the "haves."
For those who now denigrate unions, I understand why; most unions in the United States have been corrupted by union officials who regard a union as another way to make themselves rich. The original premise of unions was to create a better environment for the "common man" who worked hard for very little money. In addition, hiring children for far less was another common practice before unions. Anyone, could be fired on any day, at any time, for any contrived reason possible.
The common man" rose up and demanded better treatment from employers, and unions were born. As you must realize by now, once unions are gone, we go back to the past business practices. We who say it is important to study history, because, if we do not study history, we are doomed to repeat history, are already repeating history. Instead of learning from Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson that corporate power will overtake us, and ruin this country, our own U.S. Supreme Court cast aside Roosevelt's and Jefferson's warnings, and gave citizenship, and, therefore, greater political power to corporations. 15 million jobs have gone overseas, we have nearly 10% unemployment, but underemployment rampantly reigns in this country, too.
Now we learn what an economic plight most of us must endure, and we still have people who think our present administration sent 15 million jobs offshore, caused Wall Street to destabilize, and editorials do nothing but "yap" about birth certificates, race, the "wrong" religions, and the "good for nothings" who are in need of jobs and health care. God is watching us....
I've never understood why the government calculates inflation they do. Ignoring some of the most essential things because their prices are volatile is absurd.
