Parks and open space should be options for city-owned lots on William Street
As those of us know who participated in the recent Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority exercise featuring "scenarios," it had boxes to check for several kinds of development on five city-owned lots on or near William Street. Retail, Office, Indoor Performance Space, Residential — these were among the options. Missing was a box for a Park, a Public Open Space.
Because "Park" was not included in the options, respondents could not check a box that could be counted. Therefore "Park" will not appear in the DDA's report of this exercise when it goes to City Council.
The same defect marred the DDA's online survey of public opinion in February and March of this year. The survey offered a dozen or so possible responses to each question, for people to choose. "Park," or "open plaza," or "green space," was not offered as a choice.
However, the survey included several open-ended questions inviting respondents to expand on the choices that were offered. Many people gladly named parks, green space, public open space, outdoor performance space, and other names for what they felt was missing from the survey.
Until now, no one has read and counted all those responses that fell "outside the box." Vivienne Armentrout made a good start last summer, tabulating 464 responses to Question 3. Picking up where Vivienne had left off, I have now finished reading all the individual responses in the 400-page report of the survey. Considering that there was no easy way to register support for a park (each person had to take time to compose an answer) it is impressive how many seized this slim opportunity.
Question 1 of the survey invited people to rank 12 goals from one to five in order of importance. A goal which had a kinship to a park was "opportunities for spontaneous social interaction." It was ranked a four or a five (important or "extremely important") by 1399 out of 2,041 respondents. Another such goal was "opportunities for outdoor community events." It was ranked a four or a five by 1243 out of 2038 respondents.
Question 2 asked respondents to choose (from the list of 12) three goals "that are most important to you." This time "opportunities for outdoor community events" and "opportunities for spontaneous social interactions" were the top choices. They were checked by 40.7 percent and 43.6 percent of respondents respectively. Note that neither of these options mentions a park. The DDA's question about social interactions could have envisioned events such as Taste of Ann Arbor, or Festifools. The one about outdoor events referred to sidewalk cafes as an example. We would not know what the respondents envisioned, except that many of them took the opportunity to write an open-ended answer to the next question.
Question 3 asked, "Please feel free to share an extremely important goal." Of 815 who composed answers, 201 (24.7 percent) named parks or open space. Others chose various goals, such as economic development or housing. It was not an either/or choice; most of the goals were mutually compatible, given the 5 sites under consideration.
Question 4 asked, "Please select the things you'd like to see more of downtown." A list was offered. The last option was "other." Of 426 who wrote in the "other" space, 142 (33.3 percent) mentioned a park.
Question 5 asked, "What economic benefits are most important to you?—select all that apply." Of 293 respondents who used the "other" space, 60 (20.5 percent) mentioned parks and the economic benefits that flow from them.
Question 7 asked, "What environmental benefits are most important to you?" A list was suggested. Sixty-eight respondents wrote about parks and open, green spaces, which were not on the list.
Question 8 asked, "What social benefits are most important to you?" Here again, 71 participants chose to step out of the box and mention the social benefits of an urban public park.
Question 9 asked respondents to "Envision a really great time you had in another downtown. Please briefly describe what you were doing, your surroundings, and why it was such a great experience." This was a completely open-ended question, and people responded by describing a day, or an evening, a cluster of happy experiences. These answers are hard to break down into quantifiable lists. An expert in analyzing survey data named Dorothy Nordness, of the Institute for Social Research at the UM, applied her skills to Question 9. Coding key words in 302 of the 1,310 responses, she found that walking, parks, events, and dining/shopping were the features most often mentioned first in a response. (28 percent, 18 percent, 14 percent, 13 percent, respectively) They also were the features most often mentioned second, third, or fourth. ("Events" was the code Dorothy assigned to a variety of experiences: "outdoor, free, museum, street performers, architecture, music, public art, festivals.")
Question 10 asked whether such an experience could be enjoyed in Ann Arbor, and if not, why not? What was missing? Of the responses to this question, 149 (16 percent) mentioned the lack of a downtown park or green space.
Question 11 invited people to "provide any additional comments about the Connecting William Street process or this survey." Of the 647 responses, 111 (17 percent) pleaded for a park.
When the DDA published the results of this survey (on their website), their "Overview" did note the high proportion who favored "opportunities for outdoor community events" and "opportunities for spontaneous social interactions." They also acknowledged in several places — appreciatively — the desire for parks and green space which had been expressed by respondents. At the end of their overview, the DDA asked, "What does this all mean and what are the next steps?
In their answer they promised to strive for five goals: a vibrant sidewalk experience, attention to quality and design of buildings, economic development, housing, and open space/plazas.
It seemed like they "got it." They understood and accepted that their survey, perhaps inadvertently, had revealed the real thinking of a significant proportion of the people— who were trying hard to communicate despite obstacles.
Why was this revelation subsequently ignored when the DDA designed the Connecting William Street project? The three "scenarios" make no mention of parks or green spaces. Who at the DDA decided to reverse course? Who are the faceless unelected people who are pulling the strings? We need to know who they are. Citizens may well feel cheated by a process which ignores them. They have a right to be angry when jerked around so capriciously.
The following is a summary of responses to open-ended questions on the DDA online survey, spring of 2012.
The percentage of respondents who used this opportunity to write in "park," "open space," or something equivalent:
Question 3: "Please feel free to share a very important goal": Of those who responded, 24.7 percent named parks or open space.
Question 4: Please select the things you'd like to see more of downtown." Of those who used the space for "other," 33.3 percent mentioned a park.
Question 5: What economic benefits are most important to you? Of those who used the space for "other," 20.5 percent mentioned economic benefits that flow from parks.
Question 7: What environmental benefits are important to you? Of those who used the space for "other," 20.5 percent mentioned parks and open spaces.
Question 8: What social benefits are most important to you? Of those who wrote in the space for "other," 33.3 percent mentioned social benefits flowing from parks.
Question 9: " A great time in another downtown please describe." Consistently in the first four key words was "park."
Question 10: Are you able to get the same experience in downtown Ann Arbor? Why or why not? Of 1298 responses to this question, 149 (16 percent) mentioned the lack of a downtown park or green space.
Question 11: Provide any additional comments about the Connecting William Street process or this survey. Of 647 responses, 111 (17 percent) asked for a park.
Here's the conclusion: When asked open-ended questions, a significant proportion of respondents took the opportunity to ask for a park. Depending on the question, they ranged from 1/6 to 1/3 of respondents. These are people who made an effort to put in to their own words what was missing from the questionnaire. Please note the other respondents, with very few exceptions, did not oppose a park. They used the space to mention other goals.
Council members evaluating the "Connecting William Street" exercise should also study this earlier DDA survey, particularly the open-ended responses. It would be folly to ignore up to a third of any group of constituents. These are highly motivated citizens and voters. They have confirmed, in 2012, the results of the Calthorpe report 0f 2005-6. Ann Arborites want and deserve a central downtown park.

This is a beast of a climb that demands respect. Clipping the chains requires a diverse pallet of climbing techniques. Begin the cloak with immediate difficulty that continues until you reach the highly visible huecos towards the middle of the climb. Slopping edges and important body positioning characterize this lower section that is the route's crux. Manage a rest in the middle of the climb before firing into the dagger. This exposed arete is thuggish and tends to be extremely tiring at such a high altitude, especially after climbing the bottom. Cloak and Dagger is perhaps one of the better 5.13s in the entire Front Range. Get after it!!
The line follows the bolts out of the shield and through the upper arete on the right side of the overhanging alcove.
11 bolts and chains. Mandatory stick-clip.
The loose flake right of the 3rd bolt is completely gone now. This significantly changes the right "variation", if still possible. Regardless of how one gets past the 3rd bolt, the traverse is probably a bit harder now that the broken flake eliminated a good foot hold. Maybe it's 13c again?
Arrggghhh nooooo!!

MP Paul Burstow criticises St Helier A&E and maternity closure plans
6:05pm Monday 14th May 2012 in News
Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow has called the review recommending St Helier Hospital's accident and emergency (A&E)and maternity department close "flawed."
He said: "St Helier's future has once again been cast into doubt, thanks to a flawed conclusion from a flawed process."
"We know that all the maternity units across SW London are very busy. So too are the emergency departments - and it makes no sense in terms of quality or safety to close them."
"Indeed, the scoring panel that met last week to give 'credibility' to the Better Services, Better Value review was told that only a meagre 8 per cent of their scoring would account for how easy it would be to make the chosen option actually happen in real life."
"Furthermore, the St Helier option is based on an assumption that more of us will end up being cared for in the community, despite there being little evidence in the plans put forward as to how this would happen."
"The reality is that nobody wants to have to go to hospital at all. In fact, if our health and social care system worked better then people with long-term conditions like diabetes or asthma would receive far more of their care outside of hospital and in their own homes."
"The ideal is that problems are caught early and people have the confidence and the support to manage their condition without the need for an emergency visit to the hospital at all."
"But when we do need help in an emergency, then we want a good local service right on our doorstep."
"What's most important now is to support the staff and patients that use our local hospital. I was born there and so were my three children. Like many people I have been touched by the caring staff that work at St Helier."
"After all, our local hospital has the best patient feedback in South West London - a fact that backs up my belief that this is something worth fighting for."

Historical Society gets a glimpse of Villa Am Meer
Date: March 13, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Joy Baker isn't the only one intrigued by the little house by the sea.
Approximately 90 people attended her presentation about Villa Am Meer, which means "Villa By the Sea" in German, Thursday, March 7, at the last Longboat Key Historical Society meeting of the season.
Baker, a Minnesota resident, began researching and blogging about the property in March 2010, when she saw it surrounded by construction equipment and worried it would be torn down.
The equipment was actually being used for construction of two groins at the Islander Club next door.
"I could just tell a lot of pride went into the house," she said, describing the elaborate stained-glass windows, ceramic tiles and spiral iron staircase leading to a rooftop patio, where she imagined parties occurred.
German immigrant Dr. Hermann Kohl, and his wife, Hertha, built the home in 1935. He had founded Norda Inc., in 1924, to create flavorings and additives for the beverage industry.
He had faced bootlegging charges, but about a year before he built Villa Am Meer, Prohibition ended, and the charges were dropped.
Kohl would go on to invest $15,000 for a 49% stake in what would become Tropicana Products Inc. in the 1940s.
In the audience at Baker's presentation were Hertha Kohl's great-niece, Monika Wehofsich and her daughter, Katja, who were visiting from Germany.
Wehofsich never met Hertha Kohl and knew her only from the letters they exchanged when she was a child. She discovered Baker's blog when she did an Internet search for "Dr. Hermann Kohl USA," seeking more information about her family's history.
The Kohls were childless but informally adopted their gardener's daughter, Elena Amaducci, who later married into the Benedict family and inherited the estate.
The Benedict family sold the property for $18 million in 2006.
Court records show that current owner BBC Key LLC became the owner of the property in 2009, after it went into foreclosure.
Baker doesn't know what the future of the property will be, but her research about the property, along with historic photos, are now recorded with the Florida Master Site File, a state-maintained inventory and archive, so that no matter what happens to the home, there will be a permanent record of its story.

Wire, cable and wiring systems manufacturer Leoni will acquire 50 percent of the shares in Daekyeung, a leading Korean producer of wiring systems. Daekyeung's existing customer base will give Leoni direct access to key motor vehicle manufacturers such as GMDAT (General Motors Daewoo Auto & Technology), SsangYong Motors as well as the special vehicles maker Volvo Construction Equipment. The Group will thereby have an ideal launch pad for tapping into the Korean market, world's fifth largest for vehicles.
Jointly seizing growth opportunities
Leoni and Daekyeung already signed a joint venture agreement last year on shared development of cable harnesses for the compact and small car class of customer General Motors. With this investment, the partners will place their existing collaboration on a lasting footing and intend with pooled resources to bid for new contracts from, among others, the increasingly significant South Korean motor vehicle industry.
Key step in Leoni's expansion strategy
Daekyeung, which is based in Busan, South Korea, employs about 1,900 people and has production facilities in China. The family business established in 1989 generated sales of about EUR 70 million in the 2007 financial year from development and production of cable harnesses for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
This investment is another key step in the expansion strategy of the Leoni Group's Wiring Systems division. It has set itself the goal of significantly increasing its business in high growth markets like China and Korea, and in the medium term of generating about 15 to 20 percent of its sales in Asia.

The Chanel Les Pop-Up collection was launched yesterday and I was happy that I was in town to catch it, because there are a couple of items in this collection which totally called out to me. One is the Gloss Fluo de Chanel in Laser, and the second, is this nail polish which I bought.
Quick story: I was out with Kas yesterday, and while passing by Isetan, she went like Fluoroooooooooo! I got a little shocked at the outburst, but realised we were walking past the Chanel counter and our eyes (well, her eyes first) literally zoomed in past the store window (you know, at Wisma Atria). And we stopped traffic, made a quick about turn, and quickly went inside the Chanel counter, swatched everything, played with the products (I was pretty sure we irritated the MA like crazy, because the 2 of us were totally rambling among ourselves, and comparing across the range of glosses, and applying the nail polish etc etc) but le sigh, what to do when you are excited BUT the MA was so lacklustre and blah, let me tell you what I did. After swatching everything (and I like to sit at their stools and plonk myself at the counter and swatch like it is happy hour time---at my age, I refused to be intimidated by MAs no matter how snobbish and blasé they want to act) I told her OH my MA at Robinsons actually called me today so I should buy it there (which was true btw), and so off we went to Robs to make the purchase. I just think....... if she had shown us more interest, instead of coming to whatever conclusion she has in her mind, I would have gotten more than just the nail polish from her. But oh well, too bad.
Some swatches and more pictures here. I know that Nouvelle Vague has been compared to For Audrey, so I shall show the difference. I also thought of Essie's Mink Candy Apply and TFS GR50 before I got home. But I won't even swatch Mink Candy Apple and GR503, because they are way greener, and can't be considered dupes. BTW is it just me, but GR503 is SUPER STREAKY!! I hate the formula! How many layers do you need to apply the product to get an even and opaque coat??
There is slight shimmer to Nouvelle Vague, but once applied the shimmer is very subtle, almost making it look like a cream finish. I also thought that For Audrey is darker before applying both on my nails. In the pictures, you can see them side by side, and the subtle sheen of Nouvelle Vague is there, glistening softly in the sunlight, almost making For Audrey look a little dull. Oh well. This could very well be a difference only nail geeks like us would notice, and care about.
And before we finish, here is a swatch of Nouvelle Vague on NC45 skintone, thanks to Kas for offering her nail space! Preetttty!!
After getting the nail polish, and it was pretty late night by then, I was telling Kas, yes, my life is now complete. I am still thinking if I should get Laser, but it swatched pretty sheer, I swatched the entire collection, and have the pictures, but hmmm... a little lazy to load them now. Maybe later.
Next entry will be another haul entry from the same day.
I hope this helps, and thanks for reading~

- Fabric is sturdy
Best Uses
- Something Indoors
This bag was underneath the steps, so relatively sheltered. After a significant rain, there was a half inch of water at the bottom. This product is definitely not for storing cushions outdoors.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- easy to load
- Roomy
- Could Use A Solid Bottom
- Handles are too short
Best Uses
- Store chair cushions
- Store Winter Coats
I filled this bag with 10-20x20x3 outdoor chair cushions and two small plump outdoor "sofa cushions" and had room to spare. An almost full bag like this wasn't particularly heavy, but because the handles are short, it takes both hands to pick it up for even weight distribution. Handles that met in the middle would have left a free hand for opening doors and things like that. If the bottom was reinforced for strength, an end loop handle would have allowed it to be dragged if too heavy to lift. Mostly, I am very pleased with it.
- So Easy And Nice To Use
- They Are Really Strong
- They are well made
- They Hold Quite A Bit
- They Store Away Easily
Best Uses

We were always putting our outside furniture cushions and pillows in plastic bags and decided to buy these as they zip and we can reuse.

Do you decorate a wreath for the Holiday's? I do love the simplicity of the simple red bow on a wreath.
But I really love to buy a plain wreath every year and decorate it myself. Below is an artificial wreath that I like to decorate every year:
The BIG trick in using an artificial wreath is to be sure to spread out the branches! It is all compacted and squished when you first bring home. Remember to always take the time to spread out the branches so that it will look more realistic.
There are a few ways you can secure ornaments to your wreath. I think the easiest way to attach items is to tie a floral stick to the ornament:
And then it is very easy to poke the ornaments into the wreath.
You can also use a glue gun to secure the balls:
Floral wire (shown above) is another option. Cut a small piece of wire and string through top of ornament and then tie secure to the wreath branch:
For the bow on your wreath, you can make one yourself or you can buy a bow already made for only a couple dollars. Just have fun with it! Decorate as little or as much as you like:
With an artificial wreath, you can take off the bow and all your ornaments and save as well as your wreath. And make a new masterpiece next year!
Here is another easy project:
Gather a few different varieties of branches together. For this project, I used four varieties of branches. First, secure the bunch tightly together at the stems. You can use wire or I tied a heavy rubber band to secure:
Next, I hung my created swag on a wreath hanger:
I then tied a big red bow around the back of the swag and wreath holder:
Ta Da!! Pretty easy and it looks great. I bet you would have to pay $20.00 for a swag this pretty! Ok, one more little project I worked on today:
My little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Look at the stand someone actually made. So of course I have to decorate in the true CB fashion:
The Peanuts gang would be so proud:
This tree fits in very well with the rest of our old-fashioned Christmas decorated home:
We still love the big colored lights and the homemade decorations on the tree:
How do you decorate your home for Christmas? Bright and colored? Or clean and white? Do you decorate your own wreath?
Now don't get too excited, but these are photos only from my New Hampshire home. I will show you my Rhode Island Christmas decorating pictures soon!

Adventures at Blackbutt
17 August 2007
Last month, I had the privilege of visiting the Zoo's rural conservation property 'Ironbark Station', which is located a few hours drive west from the Zoo. Ironbark Station is the location of the Zoo's largest eucalyptus plantation, which is planted and maintained specifically for the feeding requirements of the Zoo's koalas population. There are approx 55,000 trees planted on the property, with plans to plant more over the coming years. About three quarters of the plantation is at harvesting stage, where the trees are large and self sustaining enough for us to selectively harvest branches for feeding our koalas. The remainder of the trees should reach this stage within the next 2-3 years. Now don't be fooled, my visit wasn't just for recreational purposes. I spent the best part of the week assisting the plantation manager 'Big Mick' trimming and cropping the trees, to trim off any dead branches and encourage new vertical growth. Sounds like a pretty easy job, hey? Do you recall I just said that there are 55,000 trees, all planted in straight rows. I can tell you by tree no. 14,956 I was certainly getting a little dizzy and had started counting trees in my sleep!In my break times, I was able to escape the never-ending mazes of trees, and got the chance to see some of the recovery and regeneration work that is being undertaken on the property, which was once farming land. I was also fortunate enough to assist with a koala tracking study which is currently being undertaken on the property, in conjunction with the Australian Wildlife Hospital. The property is used as a release site for orphaned or rehabilitated wildlife, whose former home range has been destroyed or cleared for development. It is now a thriving natural habitat for many species of animals. There are even a few enterprising koalas that have discovered our eucalyptus plantation is a haven of yummy food! Never mind, I'm sure our Zoo koalas don't mind sharing some of their dinner with their wild cousins. There certainly is enough to go around (55,000 trees worth to be exact!). Check out some of our koala keepers examining the new growth on our plantation trees.

Description: Pros:
A new convertible version debuts this year. Fitted with a power-operated top, the Camaro convertible is offered in the same V6 and V8 configurations as the coupe. GM says it wanted to keep the convertible's performance high, so rather than soften the suspension, it made many reinforcements to the body structure to keep body flex to a minimum. The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro is largely a carryover from the 2010 model year. It is available in three trims, LS, 1LT, and 2LT. In addition there is a high performance SS model and a convertible model available late 2011. For 2011, the V6-powered Chevy Camaro gets a bump in horsepower from 304 to 312. OnStar is now standard, while a head-up display is now included with the 2LT and 2SS trims. Later in the model year, the much-anticipated convertible version will debut. |

Bats Global Markets Inc. and Direct Edge Holdings LLC agreed to merge, uniting two of the biggest American exchange operators amid a four-year decline in volume.
The third- and fourth-largest equity market owners said the transaction will close in the first half of 2014. Joe Ratterman, the chief executive officer of Bats, will keep that role at the combined firm, while Direct Edge CEO William O'Brien will be president. Financial details weren't disclosed.
Formed by some of the fastest traders on Wall Street, the closely held companies have watched volume dry up in the U.S., cutting profits at the proprietary trading firms they count among their biggest customers. Shares changing hands on all U.S. exchanges have fallen 36% since 2009 to 6.3 billion shares a day in 2013 and profits for high-frequency traders slipped 80%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Rosenblatt Securities Inc.
"Conceptually, this consolidation play makes sense, but the real question could be what happens after that," Sang Lee, managing partner and co-founder of Boston-based Aite Group LLC, said by phone on Aug. 23 after Bloomberg News reported the two companies were in discussions. "Assuming they have 10% each in market share and they are combined to get around 20%, then what? From a transaction business perspective you really haven't acquired a new revenue source."
The companies' four exchanges will keep operating, using Bats's technology, according to a statement. The combination will be headquartered near Kansas City, Missouri. Bats is based in Lenexa, Kansas.
Trading Systems
Bats, an acronym for Better Alternative Trading System, started trading in 2006, aiming to match the incumbent exchanges on speed and beat them on prices. Seven years later, the firm's daily average U.S. equity market share is about 10%, according to data from Tabb Group LLC. That compares to averages of 23% at NYSE Euronext and 18% at Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. Direct Edge has about 11%, Tabb said.
The deal comes as IntercontinentalExchange Inc. prepares to complete the acquisition of NYSE Euronext, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, the oldest U.S. bourse. Combining Bats, and Jersey City, New Jersey-based Direct Edge would make them the second-biggest market by volume.
Bats, which tried and failed to go public last year, was founded in 2005 by high-frequency trader Dave Cummings of Tradebot Systems Inc. and, along with Direct Edge, helped dismantle the duopoly on American stocks that was enjoyed by the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market.
'Dominant Stranglehold'
"When Cummings set up Bats, it was really in response to the New York and Nasdaq having a dominant stranglehold on the equity trading market," Larry Tabb, chief executive officer of the Tabb Group in New York, said in a phone interview on Aug. 23. "But time moves on, order flows declined, it's gotten much more competitive."
This year's acquisition of market-making firm Knight Capital Group Inc. by Getco LLC, the Chicago-based high- frequency trader, may have made today's merger more likely, Tabb said. Both are shareholders in Bats. Knight, now KCG Holdings Inc., also owns a stake in Direct Edge.
Electronic platforms have seen their reputations dim over the last week after a connectivity issue caused Nasdaq to halt trading in all its listed shares for three hours yesterday and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. bombarded markets with mistaken options orders. Bats shut its main market for almost an hour on Aug. 6 when a computer system malfunctioned.
Multiple Platforms
Bats, run with about 160 employees from a two-story office complex, operates two stock exchanges and an options market in the U.S. as well as Bats Chi-X Europe, the largest pan-European stock exchange.
O'Brien said in September 2012 that he was focused on expanding as an independent company following a report in the Wall Street Journal his firm was in merger discussions with the owner of the Toronto exchange.
Speculation over a Direct Edge sale dates to December 2011, when the U.S. Justice Department made the divestiture of Deutsche Boerse AG's 31.5% stake in the company, held through its International Securities Exchange unit, a condition of its proposed merger with NYSE Euronext. European regulators blocked the trans-Atlantic union two months later and the Frankfurt-based exchange never made a deal.
Both companies count trading firms and banks among their owners, and Bats gained two new shareholders this month. Private-equity firms Spectrum Equity Investors LP and TA Associates Management LP bought all of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s estate when it exited its investment, according to a statement from Bats and the investors.
Largest Owners
Bats lists Getco as its largest owner with a 15.4% voting interest. Other owners include Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Group AG, Nomura Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. KCG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citadel all have a 19.9% stake in Direct Edge. An additional 8.8% belongs to a group of five brokers, including New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co.
"It makes sense," Paul Gulberg, an analyst at Portales Partners LLC, said in a phone interview Aug. 23. "A combined company is probably more efficient to run."

I never set out to break the girl code, but my habits won over my morals and with every drink, my inhibitions loosened.
cheating songs
Maybe those ARE the best songs about cheating cheaters ever, but I think we can do better.
Since the quest for a conventional relationship was clearly not working out for me, I decided in a moment of low self-worth, that I was going to actively seek out married men.
As I tried to understand his actions, I went on a rampage against the girl. I just wanted to make her pay.
I wasn't cheating on you, I was cheating on a system which is fake and outdated.
Jezebel recently published the name and photos of the "woman who broke up Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore." I don't buy that.
ihtm contest
No doubt he represents himself as Mr. Squeaky Clean Role Model to the parishioners in his wholesome Midwest hometown. They just don't know he's really a kinky sex maniac who's totally into coveting thy neighbor's wife.
ihtm contest
John taught me that not every guy was like my husband. It was the push I needed to really see that life could be normal again.
One thing that happens when you move to the front seat from the passenger is that it leaves a space that's just waiting to be filled.
When Andrew came home, I had my life back, but it was a poisoned, distorted version of the happy life I'd thought we had.
I had a lengthy emotional affair that involved copious amounts of text messaging and elbow rubbing.
anonymous single girl
More coke, forgetting to eat, heroin, some lesbian stuff, becoming best-friends with some of the finest bartenders in town, more forgetting to eat, a guy with a really weird dick and a few declarations of love.
As my friendship with Alex grew, I was constantly overwhelmed with guilt about the secret I was keeping from her.
it just seemed like I had a schoolgirl crush, until I found myself drunk in his house, wondering what would happen if his wife came home early,
In almost every one of my relationships, at some point a condom showed up where it shouldn't have.
I don't like women purposely hurting other women.We need to stick together. But like I said: I did it anyway.
The kiss was intimate with a hint of danger. And it was happening just a few feet from where my boyfriend was discussing the merits of Jaeger bombs.
ashley madison
We got to ask her all our burning questions about body-shaming, sexuality and just what she'd like to say to those Ashley Madison execs.
Well, I NEVER DID. But seriously, women are way better at this.

I may not have a website (yet) or a cool name, but I work with bands very closely to make sure that the songs that I chart are not only fun for the players, but that the bands involved feel the chart adds to their music instead of distracting the players' attention away from it.
I have a preview available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNFQHhdd1Z8 and will hopefully have a better preview soon.
I also have very flexible fees, whether you'd like to pay upfront and keep all the sales revenue, or split the revenues. I operate under the idea that the band has done all the hard work in this process, and that a 50-50 revenue split is insulting to the band.
If you're interested, drop me a line at [email protected] with "Rock Band Network" in the subject line.

To trace the history of cocoa and chocolate is to embark on a journey. Few foods have such a rich social and economic history, one that extends from ancient times to modern manufacturing techniques. This piece by Rodney Snyder of American Heritage Chocolate explores chocolate's history from early North America to the present day.
Reproduction Chocolate Pot, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
Chocolate in the eighteenth century was commonly consumed as a hot drink served from a vessel called a chocolate pot. Usually, the only difference between a chocolate pot and a coffee pot from this period is the presence of a stirring rod. This rod, commonly called a "chocolate mill," fits down through a circular hole in the top of the lid.

A truly international food, eighteenth-century chocolate required a variety of imported ingredients. In this lesson, students will learn about the history of chocolate, the chocolate-making process that was used in the colonial era, and the trade of raw materials that brought chocolate to the colonies. Students will create foldables containing an eighteenth-century map, facts about chocolate, and their own illustrations to further their understanding of the history, science, and economics behind chocolate in the American colonies.
Colonial Williamsburg offers a variety of quality instructional materials about 18th-century life, including:
Games, activities, and resources about life in colonial America.

"...whereas chocolate seasoned with vanilla and other sour, spicy ingredients can sometimes be dangerous, especially during the summer for the young and for those with vivacious, dry constitutions. The glass of cool water that one usually drinks before or after the chocolate can only temporarily alleviate the fire that it ignites in the blood and the entrails, once the soothing water has passed along."
—Denis Diderot, "Chocolat," Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, 3:359-360 (Paris, 1753). Translated by Philippe Bonin. Ann Arbor: Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library, 2005.

DrugImagesWhat is the most important information I should know about naproxen?
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term. Do not use naproxen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking naproxen, especially in older adults.
Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold, allergy, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines similar to naproxen (such as ibuprofen or ketoprofen). Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains naproxen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or ketoprofen.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
What is naproxen?
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naproxen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Naproxen is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendinitis, bursitis, gout, or menstrual cramps.
Naproxen may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking naproxen?
Do not use naproxen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking naproxen, especially in older adults.
You should not use naproxen if you are allergic to it, or if you have a history of allergic reaction to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
- heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
- a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding;
- liver or kidney disease;
- asthma;
- polyps in your nose;
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; or
- if you smoke.
FDA pregnancy category C. Before using naproxen, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Taking naproxen during the last 3 months of pregnancy may result in birth defects. Do not take naproxen during pregnancy unless your doctor has told you to.
Naproxen can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 2 years old without medical advice.
How should I take naproxen?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
EC-Naprosyn is a slower-acting form of naproxen and this brand should be used only for treating arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release or enteric-coated tablet. Swallow the pill whole. The extended-release pill is specially made to release medicine slowly in the body. Breaking the pill would cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. The enteric-coated pill has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the pill could damage this coating.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure the liquid with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
If you take naproxen for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis to make sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since naproxen is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include severe forms of some of the side effects listed in this medication guide.
What should I avoid while taking naproxen?
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold, allergy, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines similar to naproxen (such as ibuprofen or ketoprofen). Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains naproxen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or ketoprofen.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Naproxen can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
What are the possible side effects of naproxen?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking naproxen and seek medical attention or call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
- black, bloody, or tarry stools;
- coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
- swelling or rapid weight gain;
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness;
- fever, headache, neck stiffness, chills, increased sensitivity to light, purple spots on the skin, and/or seizure (convulsions) or
- severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
Less serious side effects may include:
- upset stomach, mild heartburn or stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation;
- bloating, gas;
- dizziness, headache, nervousness;
- skin itching or rash;
- blurred vision; or
- ringing in your ears.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect naproxen?
Ask your doctor before using an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Rapiflux, Sarafem, Selfemra, Symbyax), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), sertraline (Zoloft), trazodone (Desyrel, Oleptro), or vilazodone (Viibryd). Taking any of these medicines with an NSAID may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use naproxen if you are also using any of the following drugs:
- a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven);
- lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid);
- methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall);
- diuretics (water pills) such as furosemide (Lasix);
- steroids (prednisone and others);
- aspirin or other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Treximet), celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Arthrotec, Cambia, Cataflam, Voltaren, Flector Patch, Pennsaid, Solareze), indomethacin (Indocin), meloxicam (Mobic), and others; or
- heart or blood pressure medication such as benazepril (Lotensin), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and others.
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with naproxen. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about naproxen.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Hill happy with Rochdale response
9:50am Monday 2nd September 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
KEITH Hill was delighted with the response from his players after falling behind to Oxford United.
Rochdale had not picked up an away point before the weekend and looked to be on their way to another defeat when James Constable put the U's in front.
But the visitors hit back after the break through Matthew Lund to earn a share of the points.
Hill was pleased with his players' efforts and felt they had done enough to win the game.
He said: "Their goal, for me, was against the run of play, but I'm glad with the response and the performance levels of the players.
"You can either go one way or the other.
"You can go under, but I have got characters out there, good football players who manipulate the ball and try to play the right way.
"There will be games where we lose, but we are always going to be competitive."
The game reinforced the Spotland manager's belief that there is little to separate sides in Sky Bet League Two.
He said: "The league is marginal with respect to who is the best team and who is the worst.
"I think it will be like that all season and I don't necessarily believe the best footballing side will win the league."

Style: Muay Thai / Pekiti--Misleading: JJJ BB's wearing BJJ BB's when they're not
Just something I've noticed in my area.
I had a BJJ instructor who was a purple belt at the time (now brown) and 3rd dan BB in traditional Jiu jitsu. When he was teaching the BJJ classes he would wear his black belt?! I find this very misleading. I've noticed this on other club websites (blue belt in BJJ and BB in JJJ but when teaching BJJ they wear there black blets).
Anyone notice this happening too? Thoughts? -
This is an old topic that has been discussed in many threads. It is also not a MABS worthy topic. Yes, it is misleading. If he is trained in BJJ and tells people the truth it is not as bad.
The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system. Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this growth stunting mentality.
