This post about libraries reminded me of this story about how Netflix is ending Saturday shipments.
Kevin Drum predicts,
And so it begins. A few years from now, I assume Netflix will be out of the physical disc business entirely, which means it will be impossible to watch anything more than a few years old.
Well no, not as long as public libraries are still around. Though big business interests are doing their best to keep urging tax cuts that end up closing libraries.
So here we are. Netflix has helped drive video rental places like Blockbuster out of business. Then Netflix begins to phase out DVD delivery to focus on their streaming business. Yet there's strong evidence that internet providers like Verizon are deliberately throttling Netflix streams. And they're also shifting customers to plans that resemble the ones for our mobile phones, with built-in caps and all kinds of extra fees and penalties for going over your allotted amount. Meanwhile, the U.S. has some of the worst internet service in the world.
Yeah, the unrestrained "free market" has done a wonderful job of providing us with all the books and movies we need in the most efficient manner.
The fact that the ALA shared this link is so gloriously bitter and angry and I love it.
Is there a portmanteau for that? Angritter? Bangry?
Shit, this doesn't even touch on the fact that libraries have so much more to offer—they have invaluable references, comic books, audiobooks, audio cids, movies, computer software (some library systems even carry games), online services that can include free educational material including free access to language learning programs, etc. All of this paid for by your taxes and free to all to use. Libraries are fucking awesome and you don't think so you can get out of my face.
So sure, go pay $120 a year to Amazon so that you can read a few books. Or, go to your public library and get a free card and expand your whole fucking universe.
^^^ This guy gets it.
To reassure skittish patrons like Mrs. McAdoo, libraries are training circulation staff members to look for carcasses and live insects. Some employees treat suspect books with heat before re-shelving them, to kill bedbugs, which are about the size of an apple seed when fully grown. Others vacuum the crevices of couches, and some furniture is being reupholstered with vinyl or leatherette to make it less hospitable to insects.
As Michael Potter, a professor of entomology at University of Kentucky in Lexington, noted: "There's no question in past few years there are more and more reports of bedbugs showing up in libraries."
What can a library do when people are cold, tired, hungry, and scared? The library brings them all the things it always does. It provides information, such as FEMA applications, where aid centers are set up, locations for Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. It provides comfort: charge your cell phone, send an email, or just get out of the cold for a few minutes. It provides entertainment: books were lent whether people had a library card or not.
These are all the direct benefits, but there are many intangibles as well. Everyone knew that, even at their lowest point, the library was still there for them.

No, it's not a punchline. It looks like it might be linked with Amazon Prime. More at LISNews, original article from the Wall Street Journal.
Not a bizarre concept at all.
I used to find e-books on a website that had a huge selection of contemporary fiction and which used a semi-library model: you could download up to three files every two weeks (or something like that). It got too popular, so the site owner began charging monthly and yearly membership fees to cover bandwidth costs. If you paid the fee, you not only got access to everything, but you could download as many e-books as you wanted.
Given that, and how popular services like Netflix are, a legit version of an e-book store operating on a membership basis makes perfect sense to me.

2013 Emmy Nominations: Netflix and 'House of Cards' Have Officially Entered the Fray
The 2013 Emmy nominations have arrived and at first glance, it's more of the same. Of course 'Breaking Bad,' 'Mad Men,' 'Homeland' and 'Downton Abbey' seem to be dominating the drama category! Of course '30 Rock,' 'Louie' and 'Veep' are contenders in the comedy category! However, the big surprise with this year's nominations is that one of the most nominated shows wasn't even on TV at all.

Professional Development Opportunity:
New Teacher training is now open to all teachers as professional development opportunities. We have three dates set, and these relate to the three trainings that were offered to new teachers last year. Basically, the four dates are designed to build one upon the other and so that information follows the same themes (Instructional Planning, Instructional Strategies, Classroom Management and Classroom Assessment) across all divisions. We don't require new teacher training attendance, but feel that this training will be very helpful to all teachers.
Two classroom instructors will spend four hours training participants and breakouts will be available for all divisional participants addressing current topics such as flipping the classroom, technology applications, legal issues, CTSO specific information.

Our tool is made both for iOS and Android devices, developed by Indonesian group of programmers and enthusiasts players who devoted their knowledge and skills to produce the ultimate cheat tool which can generate unlimited amounts of Gems, Gold and Elixir which are inevitably currencies if you want to be successful in playing this game.
Although Clash Of Clans game is free to download and play, a currency called Gems (which are used to buy resources in the game, upgrading the town hall for example, or training the troops etc.) can be purchased for real money in the game's App Store. This is somehow discriminatory because it gives more opportunity to rich people to be more strong and successful in the game, which is one more reason why we made Clash Of Clans Hack Application.
Some popular CoC players such as Jorge Yao, Kemal, Flammy and others admitted they're spending hundreds of dollars per week on buying Gems to invest in their trophies, villages, troops and other resources in the game. But with our cheat tool everyone can be equal now and the biggest achievement will earn the best player with his strategy, but not the one who is richest!
How this application works?
We came trough to find an exploit in the game's code in their database and after some hard work research and testing on it we finally managed to hack resources successfully!
But this is not all! Even if the Clash Of Clans developers team make a patch and block our software from exploiting their database, our daily updating system will automatically change different encryption of our tool so we can freely say our app will always stay undetectable and successfully work as long as the game is alive!
How to use Clash of Clans Cheats?
Our tool is very simple to use and everyone can do it! Just follow the instructions below and you can't go wrong!
- Download our cheats pack and then unzip it.
- Run the Clash Of Clans game on your iPhone/iPad/iPod/Android and then connect your device using USB cable with your PC/Mac.
- Run the Clash Of Clans Hack application you downloaded and choose your desired amounts of Gems, Elixir and Gold to add to our account
(In our first beta version there was also an option to add the Shields and Builder's Huts but we decided to remove it because you can purchase them anyway with your generated Gems if you need it.)
- Press "Hack!" button and enjoy your free Gems, Gold and Elixir!
Like you can see, our tool has a very user-friendly interface and anyone can use it! So don't wait. Visit our files section, download Clash Of Clans Hack and lead your clan to victory!

Sunday night's receptions for young professionals, new members, and other attendees provided a great way for attendees to greet old friends and make new ones prior to the official start of the ASIS International 57th Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Orlando.
It was standing-room only at the Young Professionals Reception, where tweets mentioning the ASIS Young Professionals Group (@ASIS_YP) were projected onto the wall during the event. ASIS President-Elect Eduard Emde, CPP, told attendees that he "started out as a student member and that's why I'm so eager to be here and get you engaged."
Brielle Pastore, a student at Cape Fear Community College who is enrolled at Florida State University, received a scholarship to attend the seminar through ASIS. Pastore is looking forward to getting more involved with the organization as she studies criminal justice and prepares for a security career. "Young Professionals allows us to ask questions of our mentors and [provides] people to help guide us."
Ahmed Famuditimi is part of a large contingent of young professionals sent to the event by Johnson Controls Inc. He's looking forward to seeing the products on the exhibit hall floor and wants to "meet as many people as I can meet, and learn from them."
New members of ASIS International and first-time seminar attendees greeted each other over refreshments at a reception welcoming them to the seminar.
ASIS President Raymond T. O'Hara, CPP, welcomed attendees and set down one ground rule: "If you work at the same company, you can't sit at the same table." O'Hara and Emde emphasized the importance of networking and taking advantage of the ASIS community. Jose Comacho, owner of Jose A. Comacho Investigative Agency in Florida, has been in the security business for more than 30 years and is a new member of ASIS. He's looking forward to attending sessions and making new contacts and friends at the seminar. "There's a plethora of people to meet, experiences to exchange, contacts to make, and business to cultivate."
Rachel Hayes, a security specialist for Axcess Financial out of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been planning to attend this seminar for some time and is here to network and learn more about the industry. "It blows my mind to see how much opportunity there is," Hayes said. She's looking forward to hearing Vicente Fox's Keynote about security in Mexico.
Hundreds of attendees then headed to the Welcome Reception to start the seminar off right. Members sampled refreshments and snacks while mingling among the Caribbean sounds of the steel drum band, Tropical Steel.
Sally Smoczynski, managing partner of Radian Compliance in Chicago, said her company has assisted in some of the ASIS standards efforts, and seminar "is a good time to be more involved." She's looking forward to getting the "pulse" of the security industry and will be attending sessions on risk management. "We have a lot of that with our client base, so I'm interested to hear best practices."
Alvin Thompson, owner of Applied Communications and Technology in Maryland, has been an ASIS member for more than 30 years and he's been to several seminars in that time. He keeps coming back because it's an opportunity to meet people. He said seminar has always been a great place to discuss products with vendors. "In some cases, it's really helped us come to some agreement as to what changes needed to be made."
Anthony Hamilton, director of safety and security for Saint Andrew's School in Boca Raton, Florida, is planning to attend all of the keynote addresses, as well as several sessions on school security. This is his third time attending seminar. "It's probably the premier exposition and seminar in the world, as far as I'm concerned."

Houston Stratford vs. Aldine Macarthur: Stratford comes into this match up facing a never-say-die Macarthur team. Though the Spartans won last year's contest, the Generals are proving that they want to be major players in the district. After falling to Memorial last week, they will be hungry to pull in their third win. This game will likely be close, but I see QB Andrew Luck and the Spartan squad taking this one. Stratford by 10.
Aldine Nimitz vs. Aldine Eisenhower: Two undefeated district teams face off in what I like to call the 'Aldine ISD Super Bowl.' Aldine Nimitz has a tenacious rushing attack led by RB Marion Grice and Eisenhower has the deadly air assault led by QB Kenneth Guiton. This will be game you do not want to miss (I know I won't). When it is all said and done, I think it will be a fairly low scoring game in which the Eagles come out on top. Aldine Eisenhower by 3.
Aldine vs. Spring Woods: Aldine picked a win last week and should do the same again. As the Mustangs face off against Spring Woods, look for QB Darron Thomas and WR Tyson Williams to hook up often. Aldine should take this one. Aldine by 21.
Houston Memorial vs. Northbrook: After a huge win over Aldine Macarthur last week, the Mustangs take on Homecoming opponent Northbrook. I see this game being a rout. Northbrook has all the fight in the world, but the Raiders are simply overmatched in this game. Memorial by 24.

"In the midst of all these challenges, however, my single most important responsibility as President is to keep the American people safe. It's the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning. It's the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night."
President Barack Obama,
on national security, May 21, 2009
If we can find Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole in the desert.
If we can hunt down Osama bin Laden, track him to a secret compound, slip undetected through another country's airspace and extract him never to be seen or heard of again.
If we can thwart terrorists worldwide, pinpoint their movements and send the message loud and clear that they and any who protect them can run but surely can't hide.
If we can declare war on those who have declared war on life in America, and who show blatant disregard even for women and children.
If we can put a man on the moon . . .
Why can't we stop these homegrown thugs who amount to urban terrorists?
How many more children must be slain in the street before we arise to end this scourge that has transformed neighborhood streets into war zones?
How much more bloodshed of the innocent, or sordid and sorrowful details of another life senselessly taken, must we endure before, as a society, we say, "Enough is enough"?
How many mothers have to bury their children?
As a former crime reporter who has written for more than two decades the public epitaphs of countless children, I have more questions than answers:
Where is the "faith" community amid this ongoing slaughter? Why is the church's overwhelming focus on raising offerings and building bigger sanctuaries rather than on raising better communities and building lives? Why does the church at large not mourn? Awaken from its slumber?
Why don't police round up these young thugs, seize their guns and send the message that there will be peace in the streets, or else no peace where they sleep?
How does a so-called gun turn-in program for cash gift cards make the streets less volatile — safer — when no self-respecting thug is ever willingly going to lay his weapon down? What a sham.
Where are the publicity-grubbing, so-called community leaders when the light of media cameras has faded? Where is the commitment of politicians beyond emotional words spoken in the moment of tragedy?
Where are the fathers of these mostly young black men engaged in thuggery, debauchery and terrorism? Why do their mothers and grandmothers protect them, accept the spoils from their drug dealing, run to their defense upon their arrest for some heinous crime and stare into the camera, saying, "My son is a good boy . . ."
No, he isn't.
He's a thug. In some cases, he's a killer, a menace to society who is as great a threat to life in America as any terrorist ever was or will be.
I am sick and tired of writing stories about kids caught in the crossfire — about a little boy having his brains blown out while watching cartoons, or little girls being shot while jumping rope, or being pushed by their mother in a stroller, or while selling candy. So sick and tired.
When will it stop?
And after all these years, I finally know the answer. It's simple: When we muster the collective will — moral, ethical and political — to make it stop, by any means necessary.
The only question: Do we have the will?
For if all of America isn't safe, none of America is safe.

My thoughts are that if I take my car to Ford for maintenance then I don't want them to not put down that a bulb burnt

something should be reported or not based on "lameness" is unprofessional and has no real world value.

Economics CPD Courses Coming up this Term!- Book Your Places Now!
WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Challenging the Conventional View
Here are some of the slides I used in a presentation given at a talk at the RGS Guildford yesterday as part of their Speaker Day. It was a delight to head over to meet their team and talk to over 250 students from 15 schools. I looked at areas where the mainstream economics syllabus and textbooks barely give house room to emerging areas. Businesses have responded rapidly to the challenges and opportunities of the financial crisis but the bulk of the economics profession has been sluggish at best. That said there are plenty of economists out there who are challenging the orthodoxy and offering fresh perspectives on how consumers and businesses actually behave in markets in a world of complexity and uncertainty. I will be developing the presentation further over the coming weeks and will link to some of the economists mentioned in the presentation.

Flooding a Parliament's Corruption by Hand
Here is a note from Samo Gasoric - the redheaded activist in the green t-shirt - one of the 15workshop members who met with Savitri and myself throughout the week in Ljubljana, Slovenia as part of the Mledi Levi arts festival. On Friday, Samo joined us in carrying water from a famous fountain to the parliament, where we washed the corruption that led to secret fracking contracts with Halliburton and mysterious big banks. Samo's account argues forcefully for the power in Earth materials, in this case water. We have felt for some time in our activism that Earth can guide our activism and greatly increase its impact. Here is Samo's account.
"Something happened to me when I was washing the floor of the parliament, something was going on in our rituals which I felt did connect our water with the issues and the Prekmurje region. I felt relaxed, but mostly I felt cleansed - that would probably be the best description. And my best working theory is that it was water itself. It is said that water has the ability and power to carry emotions and also that it can be "programmed" by projecting intent or emotion into it, being more powerful with more people doing it. Of course it was also our flow as a group, so yes, water on our human level as well.
"I felt like connecting the water to issues of fracking and the Prekmurje region which we did at the fountain and at the bank, had more that purely symbolic or political message, but that it resonated with the water on some level. And this water in resonance was brought by our effort from the fountain to the bank and parliament and together with it its own energy and what we projected into it. All of this, together with our invented rituals - our "baptism" in the fountain, our physical effort of carrying the water and water leaving its trail on the floor, our collectiveness that embraced our actions, our humble act of kneeling and just being there with our presence - had some power that could be experienced and while I can somehow try to describe it, I cannot fully encompass it with these words. Maybe this is why I like it - our action was made out of life.
Rev again: At this writing, on 4 AM the morning of this year's Burning Man, the water of the Earth, the wind of the Earth - is emphatically landing through the gigantic tropical storm Isaac in the gulf, and through the 1,250 mile wide typhoon headed for Japan. We need to storm the corrupt electeds who continue to do the bidding of the fossil cartel and its CO2 emissions.

Perfect Example
today's reading.
Luke 22:47-53 While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him...
the blog.
I decided to focus on Jesus as I read about Judas' betrayal and Jesus' arrest today. And, honestly, I was a little surprised at how many examples Jesus provided. Now I'm not going to list out all that I saw because I want to see what you saw too, but the big one for me was obedience to the Father. Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen to him--the beatings, being mocked and, of course, his horrendous death--yet his demeanor was calm, matter of fact, I'd even say determined.
So read Luke 22:47-53 again but this time with your focus on Jesus' actions, His words, His emotions. Then write back on the blog and let me know what examples you saw from Jesus. Tami

New London - Norma White didn't know quite what to make of a $290 tax bill she recently received from the city.
"I was wondering if they were doing something illegal,'' said White, who pays about $3,400 in taxes on her home on Dart Street.
"I always pay my taxes,'' White said Wednesday. "It seemed like this wasn't right.''
White paid half her 2012-13 taxes - $1,700 - in July when she first received the bill. She was ready to pay the second payment this January when she received the revised bill, which said she owed an additional $290.
"I wasn't sure they could do this,'' she said.
But it turns out they can.
This is because taxpayers were undercharged last July because the 2012-13 budget was not finalized when it was time to send out the bills. The additional bills will now help the Tax Collector's Office recoup about $2 million.
White received one of the nearly 22,000 statements from the tax office sent out after Christmas to address a tax increase of 1.29 mills for 2012-13 that was not reflected in the original bills.
Tax collector Maureen Farrell said Wednesday the city mailed 13,950 revised car statements, 1,100 personal property statements and 6,500 real estate statements. Another 4,000 were sent electronically to businesses that escrow mortgages for homeowners, she said.
"We billed at last year's tax rate, and sent a notice that once the mill rate was finalized we would send a corrected bill,'' she said.
The explanation was included in the original bills sent last summer, but many people did not read it or remember it, she said. Her office has been inundated with phone calls and emails questioning the additional request for funds. Because the new notice does not look like previous bills, some are wondering if another bill will be coming.
"This is the bill,'' Farrell said.
No other notices will be sent out. She said the office also is trying to answer all emails and telephone messages. "It may take a while,'' she said. "We asking people to be patient."
Tax bills had to be revised because the budget process took longer than usual and the tax rate was not set. The July tax bills were based on the 2011-12 rate of 25.31 mills.
In October, following a budget referendum and amendments to the municipal spending plan, the City Council approved a tax rate of 26.6 mills, a 1.29 increase.
The revised rate covers the entire year and all taxable property, Farrell said. Taxpayers have until Jan. 31 to pay the entire amount.
The tax collector's office is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There was a slim chance last night as we watch Kansas and Western Kentucky play, that WKU was going to come out on top. Then the second half had to be played and Kansas took charge by a few points to come away with the win in the end.
The Tar Heels find themselves in uncharted waters today. They not only have to play Kansas, but have to play Kansas in Kansas City. Nor does North Carolina have experience as the underdog. It's a situation they are not used to playing in on the tournament stage. They do have experience as the underdog though this season when they played Miami, NC State and Duke.
That said, the North Carolina Tar Heels will have an Elite Eight rematch against the Kansas Jayhawks today. The last time these two met, Kansas upset the hurt and ailing Tar Heels (thanks to Creighton) to move on to the Final Four.
One thing on North Carolina's side is that they outrank Kansas in points per game, rebounds per game, and assists per game. However, this is a tough Kansas team led by Ben McLemore who is averaging 16.4 points per game. A Kansas team that lost three straight games, but turned around an won ten of their final eleven games of the regular season.
Kansas is 30-5 overall and 14-4 in conference play. North Carolina is 25-10 overall with an ACC record of 12-6. Kansas on paper is the better team and very few people are expecting North Carolina to win.
North Carolina hopes that Kansas has a slow start today as they did on Friday that allowed Western Kentucky to keep up with them. If that is the case, North Carolina has a solid chance to upset Kansas.
Friday night's game was ugly and sloppy, but it won Roy William's his 700th career victory and got the team pumped up again. Can that excitement carry over?

- Paypal is saying there's something wrong with my address
- Please make sure you do not add any dashes "-" in your address, or spaces after your city, or non-standard abbreviations.
- How do I redeem my Living Social voucher?
- Simply add the 2 iPhone cable bundle to your cart (after selecting the color of your choice) here: bigfootcables.com/livingsocial

- Can I combine multiple vouchers to save on shipping?
- Sorry, there is $3.95 shipping for each redeemed voucher, however you can add other great products without additional shipping.
- What is HDMI?
High-Definition Multimedia Interface is what it stands for, but that's probably more than you needed to know! It's an audio/video interface that carries an uncompressed digital signal from a source (such as a TV box from your TV service provider) to a display (such as a plasma or LCD TV). This means that you don't need multiple cables and you get a better quality picture!
- What resolutions does HDMI support?
ALL - 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1440p+, 480p, and standard television.
- What audio does HDMI support?
8 channels of of 24-bit audio, which includes popular formats like Dolby TRUE-HD and DTS Master digital audio.
- How do I know what size connector I need (standard vs mini vs micro)?
- Most large devices (TVs, boxes, game consoles, desktop computers, DVD/Blu-ray) will have a standard HDMI slot, also called Type A. To be sure, you can measure the female opening on your device - it should measure 14mm in length.
- Mini (or Type C) measures 10.42mm and is commonly used on phones, tablets, laptops, cameras
- Micro (or Type D) measures 6.4mm and is replacing Mini on newer portable devices.
- Does length matter?
Funny you should ask. The answer is yes - cables can be as long as 10-15 metres, but extra precautions and standards need to be followed during the manufacturing process. Bigfoot Cables recommends using 6ft (2m) or less for optimal performance.
What are the advantages of HDMI over existing analog video interfaces such as composite, S-Video and component video?
Quality & ease-of-use! Because HDMI is a digital interface, it provides the best quality video since there is no lossy analog to digital conversions required - this is most noticeable with high contrast details (such as text). Plus, you'll get to replace the clutter created by the multitude of different audio and video cables with just 1 HDMI cable.
What is the difference between DVI and HDMI?
HDMI is DVI with the addition of audio (up to 8-channels uncompressed) & a smaller connector (and support for YUV color space, CEC and CEA-861B InfoFrames)
- Does wire gauge (AWG) matter?
Yes, this is essentially the thickness of the cable. The smaller the AWG means the thicker the cable. This is one of the biggest factors in signal degradation as the cable length gets longer. Many cheaper cables on the market will use 31AWG or higher - this can result in interference. Bigfoot Cables uses 30 or 28 AWG, depending on the length of the cable. If you want to chat conductor physics further, drop us a note!
- What's the difference between Bigfoot Cables and the really expensive brands like Monster and Rocketfish?
Bigfoot Cables saves you lots of $$$! Kidding aside, that is the only difference, we guarantee your performance will be as good, if not better, than the leading HDMI cables on the market. Many factors go into the quality of cables, including materials, manufacturing processes and design. Our testing facility benchmarks against these brands and we don't sell any cables that don't meet or exceed their performance.
- What is the difference between version 1.3 and 1.4 HDMI cables (and older versions)?
1.4 adds capability for 3D, an ethernel channel, an audio return channel (ARC), and 4K x 2K resolution support. Bigfoot Cables only carries version 1.4, so you can rest assured that these cables will work great, even when you upgrade your TV. Our cables are backward compatible and will work with older HDMI-capable devices too!

Check out @jblearnstowrite's guest post on The Write Practice, your one-stop blog for writing prompts and advices.
and The Write Practice has another "Show-Off" contest where if you win for the month, your story actually gets published on print!
Yes! You heard that right, on print - with real paper, real ink, and it will be a real book!
This month's theme is Love. Not much of a surprise there but it can be any kind of love.
I'll be working on a piece, maybe two. Deadline's on Friday, February 10.
So get writing!
A challenging prompt by Lillie McFerrin called Five Sentence Fiction was shared to me by @jblearnstowrite.
This week's word is clandestine.
The shopping street was bustling with tourists, locals and temporary stalls that were lined up side to side for the annual Valentine's Day fair. A little girl picked up a small wind-up doll and ran to her mother, who was too busy haggling for clothes to notice her daughter. The girl watched in amazement as she wound up the doll and it started to walk in a straight line. When the doll stopped moving, Greg saw a bright light followed by a low but loud sound. "Happy Valentine's," he said as he started to walk away from the rooftop giving him a view of the whole city.
There's my take on the word, clandestine. Tell me what you guys think. :)
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I've recently decided to write a short story about Valentine's. I used this idea for the first tutorial lesson by The Write Practice. If you love to write, you should really check them out!
Denice walks into the school gym, wearing her midnight blue glitter dress. She scans the room, looking for Riley and his date. She wasn't able to tell him that she was coming to the dance anymore because he was still mad at her and also because her mother had forced her to attend.
She walked past the refreshments table and saw Riley in the middle of the dance floor. He was dancing and smiling with Pauline, his Physics lab partner. Denice wanted to approach them and ask if she could talk to Riley for a bit but something stopped her.
He's really happy with her, she thought. He doesn't need a friend like me.
She turned her back against the dance floor. Suddenly, she was holding back tears. I don't want anyone to see me like this. Denice ran out of the school gym and made her way to the small garden behind the school grounds. The flowers in the garden had bloomed and somehow, it made her smile.
Waiting for someone,
Who can make me smile
Looking for someone,
Who can comfort me
Someone came and tried
Yet I ignored them
Now I am alone,
Waiting for something
That is already gone.
Wrote this last August 2010. Found it while going through my Fictionpress account. It's full of weird stuff! I remembered why I wrote this, but my current feelings aren't the same anymore.
It's no longer gone.
I published this story on FictionPress back in January 2010.
Now, I'm battling NaNoWriMo so I can't really continue this story just yet.
That's a lame excuse. Actually, I just really don't know what will go next in this "possible" novel of mine. It's really a spur-of-the-moment kind of writing.
What do you think? I hope you guys will tell me your opinion on this. :)

The Denver Nuggets have been one of the most puzzling teams to figure out, leading up to the 2014 NBA draft. They've been included in more rumors then I can remember and no one seems to have a pulse, on what they are going to do tonight during the draft. Most draft experts had the Nuggets targeting a two guard with their draft selection at pick eleven but, given the team's trade for guard Arron Afflalo today, a two guard may be an unlikely option now for the team. I have to give Tim Connelly credit for acquiring a legitimate starter for only a second round pick, a TPE and Evan Fournier. Afflalo returns to the Nuggets, after being traded from the team in a four-way deal two years ago to Orlando, that netted the Nuggets guard Andre Iguodala(which blew up in the team's face, when Iggy left for Golden State last summer). He will give Denver what they need most, a upgrade at the two guard spot, a perimeter defender who's consistent and a second scorer in the backcourt alongside Ty Lawson, a player Afflalo is very familiar with.
Afflalo has improved every season he's been in the NBA, evident by his scoring averages going up every year. In Orlando last season with the Magic, he averaged a career high 18.2 points per game and shot 43% from the three-point line. Afflalo has become more of a polished scorer, since he last played for the Nuggets as he can shoot off the dribble, score in the post, attack the rim and consistently knock down jump shots. The familiarity he has with the city of Denver alone and playing with a majority of the team's current roster, should help for a smooth transition back into the mile high city for Afflalo. In three seasons for the Nuggets, Afflalo averaged 12.2 points per game and shot at least 40% from beyond the arc, while being the team's stingiest defender. He will desperately help the Nuggets perimeter defense, with his ability to make opposing guards consistently work for positioning and shots. Afflalo is also not one to shy away from taking big shots and that should be a welcome addition back to Denver. More importantly, it's what Afflalo brings off the court that will be valuable to this team, he's one of the hardest working and competitive guys in the league. He will also bring some much needed leadership and toughness primarily on the defensive end of the floor, that Denver has lacked at times and will be a player who Brian Shaw will embrace right away. The move will also improve Denver's bench, sending guard Randy Foye to the second unit and add more scoring firepower to the bench.
Now with Afflalo being brought back into the fold, the Nuggets draft plans I'm sure have changed somewhat. The pressing need they had for a two-way playing shooting guard, is no longer there as Afflalo gives them just that. I would expect the Nuggets at this point, to take the best player available at number eleven and position of need, really won't matter anymore. I've heard a lot of the rumors and have seen a lot of the mock drafts that have Denver selecting Croatian forward Dario Saric, which I wouldn't be a fan of at all. Yes Saric is a good player with immense upside but, he just signed a two year deal with a Turkish team that will prevent him from coming to the NBA for two more seasons. As a Nuggets fan regardless of the depth of this team, I want the Nuggets to take a player at eleven who can compete for minutes from day one. Drafting Saric doesn't help your team right away, may not help your team in the future and is a complete waste of a good pick in a great draft, in my opinion. I would much rather see the Nuggets take Michigan guard Nik Stauskas, Michigan St. guard Gary Harris, Michigan St. forward Adreian Payne, UCLA guard Zach LaVine or Louisiana-Lafayette guard Elfrid Payton at number eleven. All those guys can contribute right away, compete for minutes, have as much upside as Saric and help improve the Nuggets team more so now, then in two years. Plus even if they don't contribute at all right away, they all will get to work with Brian Shaw right now and develop sooner, where as again you'd be waiting two years to even get Saric to practice in Denver. Who knows what Tim Connelly and the Nuggets will do tonight with pick eleven but, they are off to a nice start bringing back a former starter in Afflalo and it's good to have "AAA" back in the gold and blue.

Tag: Dodger Arp
BREAKING: Commissioner Bill Moss found dead
- 9:24 am Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
City Commissioner Bill Moss was found dead this morning, with the exact cause of his death unknown.
Moss' political consultant, Rick Asnani said that Moss had been feeling ill since he was reelected to his commission seat two weeks ago, but that friends and family didn't think it was too serious.
"Recently he had a change in his medication to help him to cope with some pains in his back from sciatica, a pain, weakness, numbing in the leg," Asnani said. "He was getting treatment for it and he recently moved to another medication."
Moss, 67, missed Monday's commission workshop, but Asnani said he was "in a good mood" on Tuesday. He was discovered dead this morning by a friend who was delivering food.
Mayor Jeri Muoio held a press conference this morning, praising Moss, who was scheduled to be sworn in for a seventh term next week. Moss defeated attorney Dodger Arp by 16 points in last week's election. Muoio said there is no provision in the city charter for a commissioner who dies after the election results have been certified but before the swearing in. The city legal staff is currently investigating state law.
Arp called the news "absolutely shocking and very sad," and said it was too soon to address the vacancy. "We need to respect Bill and his family right now and remember the great service that he did for the City of West Palm Beach."
Commissioners Kimberly Mitchell and Sylvia Moffett were in tears during the press conference.
"It's a very difficult time for all of us standing here," Muoio said. "He was a true friend to us all, a person who absolutely loved this city and worked so hard for this city."
Commissioner Ike Robinson said, "we are in shock." Moss was scheduled to attend a League of Cities meeting with Robinson this morning, and Robinson said he knew something was wrong when Moss didn't show.
Former Mayor Lois Frankel said she visited Moss on Saturday and that he was in severe back pain. But Frankel said she had no indication that Moss was ill.
"He did not look good at all, he was in very bad pain. He was in crippling pain, he couldn't walk," Frankel said. "I believe he went to the doctor on Monday and got a shot."
City Clerk: West Palm election audit "100 percent accurate"
- 11:12 am Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
Even Bill Moss seemed surprise when he handily defeated Dodger Arp by 16 points in last week's District 5 commission race. But now that Wellington's election results have turned into chaos, and a recount showed that two of the wrong candidates were certified winners, is there a chance that West Palm's results were also messed up and Arp actually defeated Moss?
Not a chance, said City Clerk Joanna Sharp.
"Both of our precincts I pulled, all of the results came out 100 percent accurate," said Sharp of Monday's audit, which is where Wellington's mistakes were discovered. "What that means is the [More]
Muoio said she isn't considering merging police or fire with county, calls talk of recall 'discouraging'
- 1:53 pm Wednesday, March 14th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
In the final weeks leading up to the commission election, Bill Moss'campaign tried to scare residents by saying opponent Dodger Arp "would be willing to eliminate the West Palm Beach Fire and Police Departments and instead have them run by the county." The scare tactic was only partly true. At a debate, Arp said fire should merge with the county, but he said a police merger should only be considered.
During her campaign a year ago, Mayor Jeri Muoio also said she would listen to proposals of merging police and fire with the county, saying everything should be on the table. The speculation has always existed that Muoio would want to hand over control of the police to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, run by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, a friend and neighbor of Muoio.
But on Wednesday, Muoio said she is no longer considering it.
"I'm very comfortable with the direction we're going in with the police department and fire department, especially since we're going through the process of hiring a new police chief," Muoio said. "It's not something I'm looking at."
Muoio scored her own victory in Tuesday's elections with both Moss and Sylvia Moffett — solid Muoio votes on the dais — winning reelection. But Muoio, heading into her second year in office, said she won't necessarily consider their victories her own.
"I am not going to interpret too much into it," Muoio said. "I think they voted for the people who they thought could do the best job and represent them well.
Moss and Moffett win decisively; Term limits heading to West Palm
- 6:35 pm Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
*UPDATE – 10:09 p.m. The results are in and Bill Moss finished with a surprisingly decisive win. Moss is defeating Dodger Arp with 54 percent of the vote to Arp's 40 percent with 91 percent of the votes in. Sylvia Moffett, meanwhile, is defeating Sean Jackson 66 percent to 31 percent with write-in candidate Paul McCullough getting 5 percent of the vote.
Also, term limits are coming to West Palm Beach, and voters failed to extend commission term limits from two years to three years. It also appears that candidates will have to continue receiving at least 50 percent of the vote or face a runoff.
There are still several precincts in The Villages not counted for because of a cartridge problem, but Arp has already called Moss to concede and congratulate Moss on victory.
Moss nearly doubles Arp as candidates reveal campaign contributions for final time before election
- 7:22 pm Friday, March 9th, 2012 by Post Staff
In the final campaign reports due before Tuesday's election, incumbent Bill Moss raised $11,040 this filing period for a total of $67,925. His opponent, Dodger Arp, raised $7,395 ($4,000 of it a loan from himself) for a total of $37,630.
Moss has about $7,000 remaining for a final push, while Arp has $9,000 left.
The police union, which endorsed Arp, has been sending out mailers attacking Moss. The union also had to report its contributions and expenditures today. According to the filings, the union didn't put any money down for the mailers. It received $21,000 from a group called Alliance for a Strong Economy, out of Tampa. It then paid nearly $21,000 to Public Concepts, to do its mailers and robo-calls. Public Concepts is the political consulting firm that employs Arp as an attorney.
According to public records, Alliance for a Strong Economy has received contributions from several Palm Beach County-based agricultural companies, including Americas Export Corp ($5,000), New Farm Inc. ($5,000) and Sun Corn, Inc. ($5,000), which also contributed to Arp's campaign.
Residents for Integrity in Government, the organization that has been sending out anti-Arp mailers, received $18,000 in contributions from Economic Leadership Council, an organization that is registered to the home of Bill Newgent, who is the registered agent for Residents for Integrity. The organization then paid Franklin-Dodd Communications out of Hialeah $17,660 for mailers.
Smith officially withdraws; Cast your vote for Arp or Moss
- 1:04 pm Wednesday, March 7th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
A day after saying he would drop out of Tuesday's commission race and endorse Bill Moss, David Smith officially withdrew.
Smith's name will still appear on the already-printed ballots, but City Clerk Joanna Sharp said a notice will be posted at check-in of each voting precinct and in each voting booth telling voters that a vote for Smith will not count.
So now that the race is down to Dodger Arp and Bill Moss, who will get your vote?
Smith drops out of commission race, endorses Moss over Arp
- 5:14 pm Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
David Smith has dropped out of the March 13 District 5 commission race, endorsing incumbent Bill Moss over attorney Dodger Arp.
Smith and Moss held a joint press conference at REG Architects to announce the shakeup.
Smith, a city commissioner from 1989-1993, said he knew he couldn't win going up against two well-financed opponents, and he didn't want to be a potential spoiler in the race by forcing a runoff election. So Smith went with Moss, saying he followed the money from Arp's campaign and was concerned with his donations from agricultural and sugar companies. Arp's father-in-law Don Carson was formerly executive vice president of Florida Crystals.
"Selecting the wrong District 5 candidate will likely mean higher taxes, major cuts in city services, more worker chaos at city hall, disgruntled police and firemen, worsening drought and additional water restrictions plus cost increases. It's not a pretty picture," Smith said.
"Regrettably, some legitimate ballots cast will be unknowingly tainted by special interests — reaping treasure for a select few who stand to benefit enormously from well-financed election propaganda promoting a pawn and backroom deal making instead of providing good government.
"When you got to the polls, go proudly but please choose widely. Please measure experience, trivialized accomplishment and character against untried promise. Ask who is best qualified and trusted to lead us forward. The known vs. the unknown. Beware of a young wolf in sheep's clothing."
Arp said he's being outspent 2 to 1 by Moss and needed campaign contributions to have a chance to win, and called it "outrageous to suggest" that his endorsements make him a candidate of special interest.
Moss and Smith teaming up to stop commission opponent Arp; Moss gets chamber endorsement
- 12:31 pm Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
Just a month ago, commission opponents Dodger Arp and David Smith had a clear message: Stop long-time incumbent Bill Moss. But as Arp's campaign has soared, Smith is now teaming up with Moss to stop Arp.
After Smith attacked Arp at last week's south end debate for his ties to the sugar and agricultural companies, Smith and Moss are holding a joint press conference today at 5 p.m. at REG Architects office on Clematis Street to discuss "some recent negative mailers that have been sent out by the police union and some recent events in the West Palm Beach City Commission race," according to a press release.
Rumors have been floating around that Smith would drop out of the race, but Smith did not immediately return calls for comment today. On Friday, Smith, a frame shop owner and city commissioner from 1989-1983, said he "had no plans" to drop out. But he criticized Arp for his inexperience and donations from Florida Crystals and other agricultural companies. Arp's father-in-law, Don Carson, was formerly executive vice president of Florida Crystals. Between support from those companies and the police union, Arp has had a well-financed campaign and his given Moss his most serious challenge since joining the commission in 2000.
Should Smith drop out, it could help Moss win next week's election outright and avoid a runoff against Arp that could make Moss appear vulnerable. Also today, the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches endorsed Moss.
Bill Moss attacks opponent Dodger Arp over massive Moss public records request
- 1:02 pm Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect that Bill Moss apologized for a statement made about Dodger Arp's client, Public Concepts LLC.
"When you're working for a firm that has been fined by the courts multiple times for attacking public officials all over the state. … Part of what we do as commissioners is build relationships with other elected bodies and try to work through the issues," Moss initially said. He later apologized, attesting that his statement that Public Concepts had been fined by the courts was false.
The original story is below.
Data Targeting, a company out of Gainesville, has made a massive public records request on Commissioner Bill Moss leading up to the March 13 District 5 commission race. But Moss is making an issue of the request, saying that Data Targeting partnered on Viewpoint Florida, a polling data website, with Public Concepts. One of Moss' opponents, Dodger Arp, is an attorney for Public Concepts, a mostly Republican political consulting firm. Arp and Moss are both registered Democrats and the commission race is non-partisan.
"It concerns me that they're trying to do it more secretly rather than (Arp) requesting the public records," Moss told The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday. "He's doing it through this firm so it took us a while to figure out that it directly tied to Public Concepts."
Arp's response? Yeah, so what.
"I think the problem is that he is concerned what is in his record," Arp said. "Who asks for the records shouldn't matter. We had a professional look into it. It cost us over $1,000 to get the records. They're the professionals who know what to ask for and what to look for."
Commission challengers: City lying that SR 7 extension would damage water supply; Moss busts out Facebook surprise
- 10:41 am Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
While you were sleeping, the Chamber of Commerce hosted a 7:45 a.m. debate this morning at Muvico with candidates from District 1 and District 5.
If you follow West Palm politics, you'll rarely hear anything but objection to the State Road 7 extension that has Ibis residents irate because it will run directly next to their neighborhood. Mayor Jeri Muoio, who lives in Ibis, and commissioners say it will also damage the city's water supply because the road would be next to the water catchment area, an argument that supporters of the road reject.
But in this morning's debate, two of the three District 1 candidates supported the road extension.
Write-in candidate Paul McCullough reminded voters that when West Palm Beach annexed Ibis two decades ago, it agreed to the road extension. Now, the city wants to back out of the agreement.
"The dog and pony show about destroying water, all that nonsense happened in the late '60s when they extended Okeechobee and straightened it out," McCullough. "Everyone cried and carried on about it going through Clearlake, that we were going to have chemical catastrophe. None of that stuff happened. It's the same scare tactics being used now. The state department knows how to build roads."
McCullough said he doesn't support the actual design of State Road 7 extension, but he said, "I would not like to see the city try to take on the state in another fruitless lawsuit, and that's something that will happen, folks. It's expansion, and if natives resisted all the expansion you all have, probably none of you would be sitting here."
Candidate Sean Jackson said, "There's no reason why the city should continue throwing money at a useless issue."

It's crazy but sometimes we get exactly what we wish for. The guy we always wanted is ours and it's just so nice.
We had just agreed to not kiss and I had to lean in and kiss him, "just once," I mumbled and then he did it again. We planned to stay just friends but friends don't make out… normally.
The crazy thing is that I can feel that while we are still ourselves, we are both very different from who we were at this time last year.
So I guess everything changed on July 13, 2014 or maybe July 14. I don't really know how that works if we were out until nearly 3 am. I'm exhausted but being in his arms I finally felt safe.

:: Home > Around the World > Parents Lonely Vigil As They Wait For Son Aged 4 To Die So Others Can Live
© europics.at
01. 07. 14. - 15:00
01. 07. 14. - 15:00
In a tiny 20 square foot room alongside a hospital Chinese man Qiu Peiliang is waiting for his son to die.
Two months ago four-year-old Yen was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma, a disease in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the brain stem from the glial cells. The glial cells in the brain or those that hold nerve cells in place, bring food and oxygen to them, and help protect them from disease, such as infection.
His dad, 36, and his mother He Chengqin, 34, from southwest China's Guizhou province, gave their son all the treatment that they could afford, but it didn't help, and as he slowly became more and more disabled as the cancerous cells started to press into his spinal column, they decided to give up.
Dad Qiu Peiliang said: "It was tough on him having the treatment and the doctors made it pretty clear that they didn't think he was responding, and given that he was in pain we decided it wasn't fair to continue to put him through it all. Unthinkable though it may seem to somebody not in our situation, we wanted to end his suffering and asked doctors if they would accept his organs as a donation to maybe help save another's life. Although suffering from cancer, brain stem gliomas usually do not spread outside the brain stem and so we he be safe to offer a transplant."
Under Chinese law however a person can only be accepted as an organ donor if they are either dead, or in a coma that they are medically not expected to wake up from. As a result his parents decided to rent a room next to the hospital, where they keep their son and try and make him as comfortable as possible while they wait for the time when he slips into a coma or dies.
Dad Qiu Peiliang said: "I believe that by helping another to live my son will also in some way live on. Apart from that, there is only really one other wish that I have, and that would be for the doctors to find a hospital bed for him where he can be given the sort of care that will ease his suffering before he finally passes away. We can care for him as much as we can with love, but he still suffers.
