Lexington, Michigan: 83 miles northeast of Detroit (pictured at left) Umbrellas dot the sand, Lake Huron twinkles, and the sweet smell of vacation wafts from Oh Fudge Shoppe. Lexington, which calls itself "the first resort north," is a tiny shore town with a nice lineup of cottage rentals and B&Bs. The mood here is decidedly laid-back, with just a handful of businesses, but isn't that what beach vacations are all about? lexingtonmichigan.org
Monroe, Michigan: 45 miles southwest of Detroit Mellow jazz and happy chatter fill the air during Monroe's biweekly free concert series, which culminates in the River Raisin Jazz Festival in August. Besides an emerging music scene, Michigan's third-oldest city has a new river walk, several restaurants and a surprisingly chic place to crash, the Hotel Sterling. monroeinfo.com

The weather was great, and I had been wanting to visit Angel's Knoll, home of the bench on which Tom and Summer sit in (500) Days of Summer. Enter our quick tour of Downtown Los Angeles Landmarks.
Yes, our first stop was Angel's Knoll. THE bench even has a plaque on the back indicating its the one used in the (500) Days of Summer movie!
The famous Angel's Flight is not far from Angel's Knoll. Across the street is the Grand Central Market. On the walk from Angel's Knoll to Angel's Flight, there was a little taco stand. Reycel and I were hungry for a snack, so we bought some food from there. We didn't realize we were so close to Grand Central Market! We should have just bought food there. Oh, well.
I was so hungry, I started eating my burrito while crossing the street to get to Grand Central Market.
Continuing our trek through Downtown Los Angeles, we spotted many art installations in front of buildings.
We arrived at the Richard J. Riordan Central Library. I love the quote at the top of the building: "Books alone are liberal and free. They give to all who ask. They emancipate all who serve them faithfully."
Across the street from the Central Library is Bunker Hill. We decided to go up the elevator and check out the buildings at the top.
The view from the balcony of the Citibank building looks pretty cool. I love how you can see all the architecture that makes up Downtown Los Angeles – both new and old.
I tried to be happy with the sun shining above me, but I just ended up making an angry face. ;]
We tried to go to the MOCA store, but it was unfortunately closed. I was very sad – we had just missed it by five minutes! The MOCA store on Grand Avenue closes at 6:30PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
It is very interesting what people consider art these days. Pictured above is an art installation just outside the MOCA store. Pictured on my face is what I thought of this particular art piece.
Just down the street from MOCA on Grand Avenue is the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I have never been inside this building, but I do hope to see a concert there someday soon.
Not pictured but part of our LA trek is Pershing Square and other random buildings we found along the way.
We finished up our Downtown Los Angeles trek pretty quickly and decided to head on over to Little Tokyo and see what the crowds were up to for the Art in the Streets preview night. We'll have to visit Downtown L.A. again soon and do a more detailed tour of all the landmarks, most definitely!
The wall of the Geffen Contemporary featured street art by Blade. Outside of the museum, people were setting up another art installation. I have no idea who the artist is, but the slogan, "Desire. Obtain. Cherish.," is pretty cool. There were free stickers too. I dig the giant spilled ice cream cone.
BeiBei was busy during the day and did not join our downtown trek. However, she did join us for dinner at Jazz Cat! She and I had been craving Jazz Cat/some type of shabu shabu all week!
I cannot wait to see the Art in the Streets exhibit. I regret not joining as a KCRW member so I could have had access to the preview night. I also want to plan another more-detailed Downtown Los Angeles trip. It's all a matter of time, really, and unfortunately, free time is what I am lacking. Perhaps this L.A. trip will be postponed until the summer time, but Art in the Streets will definitely be happening in the latter part of May.

SAN DIEGO — Rocky Long is one of the good guys.
And because of that, BYU's bowl game against San Diego State will be an intriguing matchup for Bronco Mendenhall, who was once Long's defensive coordinator at New Mexico, where the pair developed a blitz-happy 3-3-5 defense that spawned Loboback sensation Brian Urlacher.
Few college coaches understand Long better than Mendenhall. Likewise with Long interpreting Mendenhall. Their mutual respect and friendship is as solid as they come.
SDSU athletic spokesman Mike May confirms how Long's personality stands out.
He's loyal. Long had an offer from Brady Hoke to go with him to Michigan as the defensive coordinator, but turned it down because he didn't think it would be "fair" to have the student-athletes go through another coaching change.
Long is humble. "He is the least-assuming head coach I have ever been around," said May.
He's an honest Abe. "There is no spin with Rocky Long. He tells the student-athletes, the media and anyone else he encounters exactly what he thinks."
Long has game. "He still serves as the defensive coordinator, and the turnaround his unit made in midseason is nothing short of amazing."
I joined Long in a golf foursome back in the early days of the Mountain West Conference, when the league did such things with coaches and reporters during the football media days. It was a blistering-hot July at a resort outside of Las Vegas.
He was obviously an athlete, a former quarterback at New Mexico and the CFL. Bobby Knight tried to talk him into playing basketball at Army. He has to be an active weightlifter; you could tell by his golf swing. He was a little muscle-bound with his swing.
I found Long intriguing, highly competitive, extremely friendly, refreshingly honest and upfront. Forced golf outings with sportswriters were often the last thing coaches wanted to do at these shindigs, and they later nixed it, but that morning with Long was memorable because he made it that way. He told me if I was ever in Albuquerque and looking for a round, he'd hook me up at the famous Paa-ko Ridge course on the east side of the Sandia Mountains.
Golfers who get along with other golfers say such things. It would be tough for anyone not to get along with Long.
Definitely a good guy.
Since that time, naturally, I took more interest in Long. It was after that golf event Long ripped off the most successful run of any New Mexico coach in 40 years. And he did it with Mendenhall at his side. That included a Lobo win in Provo.
When Long resigned at New Mexico, he stated he wasn't the man to take the Lobos to the next level. What he meant, but was too good a man to explain, was he was not getting the support he needed from a basketball school. So he moved on as defensive coordinator at San Diego State.
Since that time, Long has become the winningest coach in the MWC and earned coach-of-the-year honors for his work this season that stands 9-3 with a seven-game win streak heading into Thursday's Poinsettia Bowl against BYU.
In SDSU's nine seasons before Long, the Aztecs were 38-80 (.322) and had zero bowl appearances and zero winning seasons. Since Long came three years ago, SDSU is 26-12 (.684) and has been to three bowl games with three winning seasons.
Several times leading up to this bowl game, reporters have asked Long about a rivalry with BYU, about the wave of hate some in San Diego have for the Cougars. Time and time again, Long has refused to bite.

Kyodo via Reuters
An aerial view shows rescue workers searching among collapsed houses following a landslide caused by Typhoon Wipha on Izu Oshima island, south of Tokyo, on Oct. 16.
TOKYO – Typhoon Wipha packed winds of up to 110 mph as it passed along Japan's coast early Wednesday, snarling travel in Tokyo and causing floods and mudslides that left at least 17 people dead.
The powerful storm made landfall during the morning rush hour, grounding domestic flights and prompting the suspension of bullet trains.
But the most damage centered around Izu Ohshima, an island of 8,400 residents, 75 miles south of Tokyo where a record breaking torrential rain triggered landslides and caused rivers to overflow.
According to the public broadcaster NHK, at least 13 people have been found dead on the island from collapsed homes or buried in mudslides, and rescue workers are searching for over 50 residents who still haven't been unaccounted for.
A woman from Tokyo died after falling into a river and being washed six miles downriver to Yokohama, police said, according to Reuters. Two sixth-grade boys and another person were missing on Japan's main island, Honshu, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.
More than 350 homes were damaged or destroyed, including 283 on Izu Oshima, it said.

An NASA satellite image shows Typhoon Wipha off Japan. A typhoon described as the "strongest in 10 years" was closing in on Japan Tuesday, on a path that will take it towards the precarious Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Japan's Meteorological Agency warned on Tuesday that the typhoon was expected to be the strongest in a decade.
Local television stations showed aerial pictures of a mountain in Ohshima that had been completely caved in by the rain, depicting the large track of damage it left behind.
While the storm moved north and is expected to weaken, the government's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga urged the public to remain vigilant of the latest weather information and to take ample precaution.
Tokyo Electric Power Corp., operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, said it would call off all offshore work.
The utility also plans to remove cranes and secure all cables, hoses and machinery, a company spokesman told Reuters.
Four Japanese oil refining companies said they halted marine berth shipments in eastern Japan as the typhoon made its approach, but there was no substantial effect on refining operations, Reuters reported.
Reuters contributed to this report.

Last configuration, when everything was ok in all browsers: WP 3.2.1 + qTranslate 2.5.24 + Magic Fields 22.214.171.124.
So this problem doesn't depend on version Magic Fields.
I checked this problem on new blank installation WP.
The problem is probably in javascript function.

I bought this to put in my office chair after suffering a badly herniated cervical disc. Not only is the material very comfortable on my back, it provides great lumbar support that forces my shoulders back and allows me to sit up straighter in my chair. I'm convinced this has helped speed up my recovery, which is still under way. I highly recommend this item. I am very satisfied with it.

This item may be great for some people but not me. The "S" curve lumber support was just too much. It felt like I was being rabbit-punched in the kidneys when I used it. It is well-built but just not suited for my body type.

Love it! I have deemed Chicka Chicka Boom Boom the GREATEST BOOK EVER CREATED FOR KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS. I don't know if there is an official seal for that award but there should be. I start my year with CCBB as well and have lot of great activities but amazingly, no rhyming ones. Thanks for sharing.

Today women with natural nails enjoy nail art as well. The reason why is that nail art decals allows a woman, or a man, to express individuality and style. Nail art shows off a little bit about you!
You might like a small painted flower on just your big toenail, or perhaps you would like intricate, swirled patterns on all your nails.
Nail artists are talented at providing just the right style of nail art that you are going for.

The Royce at the Langham
Online Reservations
Awesome night with the new menu @ the new ROYCE. Food is excellent, so does the services. Steak, tomato salad and a glass of wine, perfect! We had the dessert as well but it's too sweet, room for improvement.
The entire experience exuded class. The server was amazing, helpful, courteous and not a tad snooty. She walked us through our meal and chose our perfect dessert to go with our wines. The Sommelier was equally amazing, especially during our experience in the Wine Room. We were able to enjoy exceptional food, service and wine in a beautiful atmosphere.
Very nice buffet brunch. Not a lot of variety but food was excellent: well prepared and nicely presented. Also enjoyed nice, tall champagne glasses! Atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing, not like other brunches, expecially on holidays.
Overall a great place to gather with friends, great ambiance and spectacular view. Food was very tasty!
The quality of the meat was outstanding. I personally don't like the ambience in this restaurant but the food was great and the service too.
Came here for Market Brunch for the first time. Foods are in Kitchen.
Great place for a special occasion. We ordered a delicious step and great appetizers. Extensive wine list had a good blend of red and white wines. Service was excellent. We plan to come back very soon.
Our second time at The Royce. First time as a steak house. We each ordered an appetizer, two sides to share with our individual entrees and we couldn't finish any of them and we sat down hungry. The food was delicious but very, very rich. I would reccomend one app and one side to share. Definitely save room for the Bread Pudding desert - also very rich.
The food was beautifully prepared and the restaurant is elegant. A wonderful location for a special occasion...
This is primarily a steak house, as advertised. The portions are a la carte and huge, best to be shared.
Great service, food and accommodations. Handled my wine request. Have dined many times when owned by Ritz Carlton. First time under Langham. Everything still perfect.
Of all the fine dining restaurants in Pasadena (including private clubs), The Royce is arguably the very best. Throughout the meal, you can sense that the kitchen has taken the time to select the best and freshest ingredients. Although dubbed a "Steakhouse", The Royce offers a wide variety of dishes up and down the menu. We've been there twice and every single one we've tried has been excellent. Many of the sides are "comfort food" simple in their menu description, but surprisingly complex in taste. And you'll seldom encounter a more welcoming and genuinely friendly staff. This is a restaurant where everyone in the house tries very hard to please...and they succeed. It's a premium-priced meal, but it's worth it.
Spent our 37th Anniversary looking out on the beautiful Huntington Hotel grounds, with a fabulous meal and fabulous servers. Steaks were to die for--especially the Wagyu by Greg Norman. Tender, and perfectly cooked. Wine list is limited, but very good. A definite place to return.
Although the food and service at the Royce are truly excellent, diners must be prepared for extremely high prices and a less-than-elegant atmosphere for such a noted hotel.
We had a great experience, on this special occasion of her birthday. My only complaint is that there is no dress code. People were dining in shorts, or jeans and T-shirts. This is a classy restaurant and the customers should be required to show some class. Doesn't need to be extreme, even "country club casual" would be a great improvement.
We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in grand style at The Royce. The service was excellent and everyone made a point to acknowledge our milestone. We can't wait to go again.
I have been eating in this building for a long, long time. First the Hotel changed hands. Then the restaurant changed chefs. Then the restaurant went through a major re-design (way more than a renovation). Throughout all of those many changes -- the kind that killed Patina and mortally wounded The Water Grill -- somehow the restaurant currently known as The Royce has managed not only to survive but to thrive. They now have two wine rooms: one for reds and the other for whites. That has to bode well for the wine service, not to mention the sensational collection they have amassed there. The Brunch, while seemingly expensive, is worth every penny and then some. To quote my wife: They focused on high quality. We highly recommend it.
LOVED IT! From the graciousness of the hostess, we had a fantastic dining experience to the end. Our server, Andrea, was fantastic. We thank her for her suggestions, although we suspect everything on the menu is fantastic. Ricardo, also assisted serving our table, made the service top-notch. The very generous portion of lobster bisque was so flavorful, yet light not heavy.The 32oz cote de boeuf was amazing, on the bone, sliced and cooked perfectly, an impressive treat. This entree would easily serve 2 couples. Bordelaise sauce is delicious, a drizzle over the beef is encouraged. Potato puree excellent, grilled asparagus fresh, tender. Normally do not like bread pudding, here it is AMAZING. This dining experience EXCEEDED our expectations.
Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. The suggestions he made on both the food and wine selection was impeccable. The newyork steak was really good with a decent portion size. But it was the wagyu strip loin that blew me away. Definitely worth the money. Can't wait to try the other cuts from the different steak types
Cocktail and al foods are good. But the meat was getting to stiff and lost the original taste when it turned to be cold due to aircon soon. I think we needed your more deep service to keep warm the meat for enjoying the good taste of the meat for the eating time.
This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere we celebrated our anniversary at, food and service were great.
Perusing the Dine LA menu at participating restaurants, one frequently sees other, more appealing menu items & casts the prix-fixe menu aside. Such was the case at the Royce. Thanks to our informed waiter, we ordered salad, sides, and entrees, with a nice bottle of wine that priced competitively against the Dine LA menu. The Royce prides itself as a steakhouse.I eat steak rarely, but the two selected were perfectly cooked (!) A selection of four sauces accompanied them. The attractive dining room is an interesting balance of the old,aristocratic Pasadena, and the hip, moderne of Los Angeles. It is a splurge but The Royce is worth it. BTW, the chairs are comfortable & the red wine is served closer to cellar temperature, a huge bonus.
The evening began with a lovely table and romantic ambience. Our waitress and server were attentive but not intrusive. Food was exceptional and it was a very special evening. We were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary and the staff made us feel special. Loved the bread pudding, the french fries but our steak was truly exceptional!
Here you get what you pay for. An impressive wine collection that you pass by on the way to your table, with a happy tasting party in full swing right in the wine room. One of the best arugula salads I've had for the simplicity of ingredients but savory taste. Oysters on the half shell from both northwest and northeast, flown in very fresh, about as close as you can get in So Calif. to sitting at a fine oyster bar in Seattle. A truly gourmet selection of steak cuts and sources, including Australian grass-fed/grain finished. I opted for genuine Kobe filet mignon, flown in from Japan. The lobster was the best we've had. Our server was fully informative and relaxed, like a friendly acquaintance. If you love the best, don't miss it.
Everything was fabulous. They found us the quiet, romantic table we had asked for. I sat on a super comfy love seat. The room is elegant and spacious with a lovely view of trees. Do they ever know their beef! We absolutely loved the carpaccio appetizer, which was perfect with a grilled artichoke. The spinach with truffle oil side was out of this world. The cinnamon beignets with Balley's chocolate sauce for dessert were to die for, warm, freshly made, melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. The steaks were perfectly cooked and very good as well. They have a great wine cellar and helpful wine connoisseurs. We chose a Honig red that was fabulous. The dinner is expensive but wow, if you want to splurge for a special night, it will be well worth it.
Can't wait to go back, goog size portions,excellent food,great service and the ambience isbeautiful.
A couple of my friends and I were getting together - we started with cocktails on the terrace of the Tap Room Bar and then moved over to the Royce for dinner. Everything was outstanding!! We are all locals and the Langham is a go to stop for us - best food, service, and ambiance in Pasadena!
What a welcome change. The Royce has made a transition from California cuisine (taking itself way too seriously) to a very high end steak house. We sat overlooking the gardens, what a beautiful setting. My wife and I ordered the Kobe steak and a side of truffel spinach. The experience exceeded our expectations. One world of warning, it isn't inexpensive, but well worth it for special occasions.
Outstanding quality and service. Food was delicious and incredibly fresh and flavorful.
both food and wine recommendations were fantastic. the grounds are immaculate, the view is instantly peaceful. For some reason the hotel general manager insists on playing music in the dining room which is not dinner music and in now way supports the elegance of the main dining room. Perhaps a class in music appreciation would help him discover alternatives to rock/southern blues. For the first few tables each night the volume make quiet conversation usually anticipated during first seatings challenged and distracted. Wait staff agrees that many complaints are received about the music and guests are advised to make comments to the General Manager but apparently complaints are not effective...thus far.
Food and service were impeccable. Had the Brandt ribeyes. Ambience was great, romantic and relaxed yet elegant. Had a great time for husbands birthday and our anniversary.
Great special treat restaurant. slightly overpriced for what it is, but the food and service were really very good
Took our son for his birthday (at his request) and really enjoyed the experience. The site (Langham Hotel) is beautiful and so is the restaurant. Started with drinks at their very nice bar (The Tap Room). Food was expensive, but so was the quality (only gripe - the steak trio at $88 is (in my opinion) over priced compared to most of the choices. The service was attentive and very nice. Excellent place for a quiet enjoyable celebration.
The Royce is a classic -- probably the best that Pasadena has to offer. That said, the menu is extremely limited (especially if you don't eat red meat or seafood), so if you are vegan, be sure to discuss your options with the chef or hostess well in advance of your dinner. I did this the first time, and the meal was among the finest that i have had...I did not have enough advance notice this time, and suffered being limited to a single entre - a very nice risotto. That said, The Royce is clearly the place for a business dinner or quiet celebration of life and/or romance.
The food was phenomenal, the ambience exquisite, the service impeccable. We had the porterhouse to share and it was delicious...the presentation was excellent. We also had the steak tartar, an A+ appetizer! For the sides, the sauteed mushrooms and soft polenta was amazing. The berry gimlet was on point! Celebrated our first year anniversary at The Royce and it was a perfect evening.
I hail from the land of overpriced and over decorated restaurants- Miami, FL. So I know a little bit about paying $50 for an entree and being thoroughly underwhelmed when it arrives. In point of fact I've become leery of spending on upscale dining because of my experiences in my home town and I've taken to seeking out the lower profile eateries which serve excellent food. The Langham was a refreshing surprise on all counts. The decor is trendy but understated, the service is professional and competent without being intrusive, and the food, well, the food was fantastic. If you are looking for a great value this is not your spot, two of us dined and had one drink each and our bill was over $200. But as I said, worth every penny.
This was a fantastic restaurant. The ambience and food were absolutely amazing. It is good to know the restaurant is inside of a hotel just so you know what you're looking for. I would highly recommend this for special occasions because it is a little pricey.
This was hands down, the best meal I have ever had. It was my birthday, and the chef made many special extra dishes for us, it was nothing short of amazing, I highly recommend this restaurant.
It was my first visit, food and service was excellent. I liked brunch set-up, the food comes to you vs. you going to get your food.
A wonderful dining experience. Top-notch service, decor and food. This is a great, fresh take on a high-end steak house.
If you are willing to spend a week's salary on a 2 hour meal, I would highly recommend the Royce. Nestled in the Langham hotel, the Royce provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of the rich and famous. The ambiance at the Royce is very but a tad Bourgeoisie. Expect that when you look to your left and right, you will find rich, white men and either their eye-candy trophy wives. If you are able to put your nose in the air and pretend like you know how to pronounce the $200 bottle of burgandy, you will fit right in. The food is really wonderful and the restaurant is gorgeous. I do recommend the Royce, and ultimately, with most things in life, you get what you pay for! Put on your navy blazer and red bottom shoes, and give it a chance!
Good food, good service and good ambience. It is truly Pasadena neighborhood gem.
If you are a group of 4, or maybe 3 if you're hungry, get the Tomahawk chop and you may have just ordered the best piece of monster meat ever served. This 48 oz masterpiece is presented table side before going back to be sliced to perfection. Grab any side, cause they're all great, and you are in for a feast.
The staff was very attentive, the food was excellent, our glasses were never empty. And the dessert buffet was so tasty!
Our first time to this restaurant for a birthday celebration did not go off as planned. Apparently, notice of the birthday did not make it from the reservationist to the waiter. I complained and the Royce asked me to come back with my partner. We did and they could not have been nicer or more attentive. The appetizer we chose--Lentils de Puy--is not on the menu, but ask for it. It is divine--lentils, fava beans and truffle butter--just melt in your mouth marvelous! The filet mignon was tender, flavorful and so satisfying. Our wonderful waiter brought out these wonderful, warm beignets accompanied by a luscious chocolate sauce on a platter scrolled with sweet birthday greetings for my partner.
The Royce was a great location for my sister's birthday party. We were a group of six and made a reservation the day before. We were seated promptly upon arrival at a lovely table with a city view. The service was excellent. The sommelier made a great recommendation for a bottle of wine for the table. For food: my mom loved the filet, my aunt loved the swordfish, my uncle loved the lamb chops, my brother loved the John Dory, and I loved the vegetarian risotto. My sister was not a huge fan of one of the cuts that you pay for by the ounce. It was not as tender as she expected. It is fattier than the filet and other cuts. But all of the side orders were delicious. And the cheese jalapeño bread you get before the meal is amazing.
Great time, wonderful service! The food was fantastic!
The steaks here (of all types) are not to be missed! Try the polenta!
A group of colleagues who taught a course at the UCLA Medical School, wanted to come to the Pasadena area for a reunion. The Royce was the perfect place and the Sunday Brunch was "perfecto." We were seated at a window table, the grounds were beautiful and the weather was spectacular with warm air and a clear view of the mountains. After the wonderful brunch with fresh coffee cake; appetizer plate of crab cake, lobster salad, tuna & beef tartare; followed by main courses of salmon and steak and never-ending glasses of blini, bloody mary's, mimosas and champagne, we could hardly touch the dessert bar. We concluded our reunion with a stroll through the decorated Langham Hotel and grounds. It could not have been more perfect.
During the hurly burly holiday season, my husband and I took a moment to spend Sunday brunch together at the Royce - and we were completely happy with the experience - the food, atmosphere, care, and quality were evident from the moment we arrived. It was quiet but still felt lively - we had more delicious food than we had expected - and the wait staff was enthusiastic but not overly intrusive. We made reservations to take our entire family there for brunch -

__________________________________________________ ___________________________
Somewhere outside Chicago
The cold pitch black night made things almost invisible but where sight was useless, sound would make up for the lost sense. Heavy footsteps in began making their way toward the city of Chicago, the heavy panting and the cold breath of the two individuals could be heard in their vicinity as they ran from something. A small horde of disgustingly grotesque humanoid beings, the mutated people, sprinting after the two individuals, shrieking loudly as they ran. They ran as fast as they could, still the mutants seemed to be gaining on them, though the horde was great distance behind them the creatures would catch up.
The entrance to the city was in sight and the two saw their safe haven for the time being. What other choice did they really have, they would die if they chose to fight, they'd be swarmed within seconds, there were way too many for them. The two began to run down the street, going toward a car park that was straight ahead, they were just out of sight, they banked right and ran into it, hiding behind a mass of rubble. The two stay absolutely quiet, refraining from coughing as they were pelted by the concrete dust. In the presence of a beast with low guttural growls and snarls they froze as it began sniffing the area, not even daring to sweat as it would give the smallest hint of humanity. The creature that survivors of the city called a Prowler was right in the faces of them both, their breaths still and withheld as the creature shrieked loudly. It ran off, catching scent of maybe another, they knew one thing, they were home free.
One sighed quietly, the fear he felt in that moment was unparalleled with any war he had experienced in his life. Even under the mask he wore, his fear could be heard, it was subtle but it was heard. He turned to his companion, another soldier but from a different regiment and company. He was an artillery sergeant, too bad they didn't have any weapons. "Y-you think they're all gone Jay?" He said, speaking to his only friend in the horrific situation. He wondered what his take was on the situation, though they were two of a different unit they still respected one another as soldiers. He began to calm down but stayed at his crouched position. "What's our next move sergeant? He asked Jay in a calm tone, one that did not waver like his previous one.

- India is partnering with other emerging market countries to plan a join intervention aimed at halting the rout in their currencies, reports Reuters, citing senior Indian finance ministry official Dipak Dasgupta.
- "It's is going to happen in a matter of days rather than weeks ... Brazil and India can start the move," he says, without making clear exactly which countries are joining the effort.
- Meanwhile, AMP Capital - Australia's 2nd largest money manager - tells the WSJ it's slashed its emerging markets exposure to "zero" as the Fed readies an end to its liquidity binge.

- "Currencies have to go where the market wants them to go," says Marketfield Asset Management's Michael Shaoul, speaking about emerging markets. Central banks have been doing everything from hiking rates and selling dollars to imposing capital controls, but at some point they may need to step aside and let their currencies fall.
- If so, writes Brendan Conway, cheap emerging markets stocks still aren't cheap enough. In today's action: EEM -2.3%, VWO -2.5%, DEM -2.1%.

- Forex reserves have been falling at Asian banks as they have attempted - not so successfully - to bolster their weakening currencies, which have been suffering partly from the Fed's talk of tapering. Six out of the 10 banks with the largest holdings have cut their reserves this year.
- The Bank of Indonesia's holdings have plunged a record 18% in 2013, while the rupiah has dropped 12%. The Reserve Bank of India's holdings have fallen 4% as the rupee has dropped 12%.
- The trends threaten currencies that central banks bought as they looked to diversify their reserves beyond the U.S. dollar in past years, including the euro, the Swedish krona, the Norwegian krone, the South Korean won, and the Australian and Canadian dollars.

- Fed policy makers have rejected calls to take the recent turmoil in emerging markets into account when deciding on when and how reduce the bank's QE program. The fallout from the prospective tapering was a hot topic of discussion at the Fed's Jackson Hole annual get together over the weekend.
- "We only have a mandate to concern ourselves with the interest of the United States," Dennis Lockhart said.
- "They were complaining about us easing too much," James Bullard said. "Now when we start to talk about taper they're complaining about too tight of a policy. They have an independent monetary policy and they have to use that to manage" their own economies.

- Emerging-market currencies have continued to suffer losses following the release of the latest FOMC minutes yesterday, which provided little clarity about when the Fed might start tapering its QE program but left the market expecting that it will be next month.
- Ten-year Treasury yields are +2 bps at 2.916%. The recent spike in U.S. debt yields has caused borrowing costs to rise globally, which, along with the rising dollar, has not been healthy for emerging markets with large current account deficits, such as India.
- USD-INR is +0.5% at 65.045 Indian rupees, with the currency hitting a new low of 65.55 earlier.
- USD-TRY +0.4% at 1.9861 Turkish lira, with the currency hitting a new low of 1.9886 earlier.

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (4/3/13) - After serving as mayor of Sebree for 25 years between 1982 and 2013, Sebree Mayor Ron Todd tender his resignation to the city council at Monday night's council meeting.
Prior to the meeting we sat down in his office for a chat. Todd looked fondly back on his years as mayor, and looked at his pending retirement from the position with more than a little sadness.
"The reason I'm giving for resigning is strictly personal," Todd said. "I don't want to say anything more than that about it."
Over the last few months Todd's seven month absence from Council meetings has made headlines and drawn the attention of Sebree residents. The absences have been questioned publicly by various council members, who even went so far as request city attorney Darin Luck to research attendance policies. The only answer Luck provided was a private letter to council members and a public statement that the letter was protected by state law.
"I don't want my legacy to be that I didn't attend council meetings," Todd said. "I do not feel like I neglected my duties at all. I missed seven meetings, two of which I was on vacation with my entire family. I didn't think we would ever have the opportunity to do that again, so I went."
Todd went on to say that his absences from the council meetings was not as big an issue as it had been made out to be. He was still taking care of his duties as mayor, which consists of a lot more than the brief monthly council meeting.
"KRS (Kentucky Revised Statutes) allows for my absence from the meetings," he said. "In the absence of a mayor the council appoints a mayor pro temp to preside over the meeting. With the mayor pro temp in place the council can do their normal job just like I was there."
Todd said that before he left, there were a lot of people that he wanted to thank. He said that State Senator Dorsey Ridley, Representative Jim Gooch and Judge Executive Jim Townsend have always been there to help Sebree residents out. He also had very kind words for City Clerk Mary Thomas and her husband Emry Thomas, a city employee.
"Mary and Emry don't need a mayor to tell them how to do their job," Todd said. "They could take care of the city without a mayor. It's nice to have a good, honest staff so that you don't have to worry about anything."
Todd said there were many things he was proud of that had come about during his time in office. Highest among them was how the city had managed personnel through the economic downturn of the last few years.
"We've managed to keep all of our city employees and keep them at the same benefit level," he said. "It's been tight, but we've been able to keep our people."
Despite a poor showing in the recent city audit, Todd said that the city of Sebree is moving forwards, not backwards. The finances do not look all that great, but he said that is due to a string of 28 water leaks over a three month period in 2010 that drained the city budget.
"We are getting $71,000 from FEMA," he said. "That will make the budget look totally different. We're not hurting, we've balanced our budget."
Since Ron Todd first took office in January of 1982 there have been a lot of improvements in Sebree. They include two fire trucks, a sewer jetter to clear clogged lines, the pedestrian bridge on US 41, an expansion of the city buildings and the annex of the old Carhartt building.
"We I became mayor, Sebree had water that was undrinkable to most people," Todd said. "It was terrible water with a lot of chemicals in it. We got a grant to run a pipeline from Anaconda (Alcan) to Sebree and we've had good drinking water ever since."
Sebree no longer uses Alcan water. When the Sebree water plant eventually had to be shut down, Sebree entered into a contract to get water and sewage services from Henderson.
"I think I've had a good career as mayor," Todd said. "I have no animosity towards anyone and I don't feel guilty about anything."
Ron Todd's resignation will be effective on Monday May 5, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. That is the official start of the next scheduled council meeting.
