Friday Five: Birthday Songs
There are a couple cool folks celebrating a birthday today: Mr. T and country singer/journalist Peter Cooper. Wouldn't you love to be in attendance at that birthday dinner? I imagine they'd have a lot to say to one another. Anyway, here's a Friday Five about birthdays, and one song to grow on.
- 6. "Happy Birthday Darlin'" – Conway Twitty
Ol' Conway isn't going to give you a birthday present, but he's going to take some stuff away: your loneliness, for example, and probably your hair product too. But it's worth it to have a man with such a majestic head of hair.
- 5. "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby" – Ronnie Milsap
Twitty's gift is better than Milsap's, as he sends his ex—who's moved on to somebody new—a letter wondering why the pair parted ways, while simultaneously acknowledging that he's acting "kinda crazy." This song, which Milsap took to the top of the charts, was originally recorded in 1957 by one hit wonders The Tune Weavers. Wanda Jackson does a fine version as well.
- 4. "Happy Birthday Julie" – Wayne Hancock
Hancock's song (from A-Town Blues) is thematically very similar to "Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby" as he asks his ex "Do you remember those warm summer nights when the stars hang in the air?/I didn't have a dime to my name, but you didn't care/Now you've gotten married and everything has changed/But happy birthday, Julie, just the same."
- 3. "Lisa's Birthday" – Drive-By Truckers
Here's a wry, rough around the edges country ballad about a gal "who's had more birthdays then there are country songs/About trying to love two women and only taking one girl home." According to the band's website, the song was inspired by a story told to Mike Cooley by their former guitar tech. In case one DBT song isn't enough, "Birthday Boy," a depressing Southern rocker told from a prostitute's point of view, is below.
- 2. "Happy Birthday" – Loretta Lynn
Miss Loretta isn't going to stick around while her man runs around with some hussy. But polite to the last, on her way out the door she wishes him "Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year" on the opening track from 1965's Songs from My Heart (this single went to #3). She doesn't mention anything about a gift, but I'm guessing it's something along the lines of flaming dog poo on the guy's doorstep.
- 1. "Happy Birthday To Me" – Hank Locklin
Man, poor Hank is having a pretty bad birthday: he bought his own gift, came home to an empty mailbox, and blew out the candles all alone. But if you've got to sing "Happy Birthday" to yourself, it must be nice to have a voice like Locklin's.
7 Comments
I like the "Happy Birthday Julie" thought, even if it is misspelled, and Loretta's song is a dandy, but you have missed a really, really, really good one – "Next Sunday, Darling, Is My Birthday." Most memorably recorded by the Stanley Brothers (there's also a Hank version on the Unreleased Recordings set) and, in an odd twist, credited to frequent song seller (and hence uncredited writer) Arthur Q. Smith but actually written by Jim Eanes. It's the best!
Oh, can't believe I forgot that one! I don't have the Stanley Brothers' cut, but I was just listening to Hank's Mother's Best version…I blame jet lag ;-)
Well, not that Hank isn't great, but you really need to hear the Stanleys; it's on a whole 'nother level of awful mournful lonesomeness.
What about Barbara Mandrell's Happy Birthday Dear Heartache?
haha, thanks so much for this. It's my birthday this week, so I may treat myself to a few of these songs :)
Hank Jr. had a song called "Buck Naked" on one of his albums. I haven't heard it for years, but I think he mentioned something about a "birthday suit."
How about "Trip Around the Sun" by Jimmy Buffet and Martina?

Nurses have a love/hate relationship with sleep – love it when you can get it, hate it when you have to struggle to stay awake during a 10-hour workday or a graveyard shift. Here's the latest news on how you can catch more restful shut-eye, starting tonight.
Does any nurse out there get more than enough sound sleep on a regular basis? Probably not. Nurses are notoriously sleep-deprived.

30 Seconds in the Mother City
Rob PetersCape Town played host to yet another sold-out show this past weekend with 30 Seconds to Mars packing the Grand West Casino on Sunday night. Frontman Jared Leto may not have been quite as active as fellow singer John Legend, but he still managed to snap a couple of pics – and post a video - to Instagram, chronicling his time in the Mother City. To be fair, the group didn't spent quite as long in town as the R&B crooner, but it's still pretty clear that the city worked its magic on Leto.
Free Wi-Fi planned for MyCiti busesCommuters on the MyCITI rapid bus service will have more reason to jump on board with the City of Cape Town planning to offer free Wi-Fi.

An Air Force jet crashed yesterday in Saudi Arabia, killing both crew members.
The fighter was the fourth United States military aircraft involved in an accident in the Persian Gulf region since the United States began deploying forces there. In all, 24 servicemen have died and eight are missing.
In the latest accident, an F-111 fighter plane crashed in the southern Arabian peninsula while on a training mission, said Lieut. Comdr. J.D. Van Sickle, a United States military spokesman.
The accident is under investigation, he said. The names of the two fliers were withheld until relatives were notified.
The Navy said it found no survivors of the crash of two helicopters over the northern Arabian Sea on Monday and was suspending the search. An Air Force F-4 reconnaissance jet also went down Monday, killing both crew members.

Billing/Collection Issues
Read Complaint Details
Additional Notes
Complaint: I have requested to be reimbursed from the time that I sent in a letter showing that I am no longer using services and believe I signed a copy of their form at the time as well, this was October 2012. I kept calling and sent another email as my card was still being charged. I notified my card as well. I went in February to use a massage since they kept charging and a note was to be made again that I was no longer wanting to have the monthly service. I accepted a payment from Mar thru July based on ***** stating the Corporation would not reimburse any more because I went in February. A reimbursement was finally made in August, however after I was told it would be processed that day I had to call yet again to be reimbursed, over 22 days later. I have provided thorough documentation over three times showing that I requested cancellations over and over, yet this was not enough. I made a special trip to drop off documentation on the third time and signed their cancellation form again. I was told by staff that they had some trouble with prior managers and was apologized to. I remained very polite and nice to everyone throughout this process, but was continuously treated as though I was in the wrong. After all of this, they still charged my card again, for September 2013 after receiving a 5 month refund on August 30, 2012 and possibly October. Even though I did use massage in February, I feel that I am owed monies back to Oct 2012 less the February visit. The therapists are wonderful, underpaid, but wonderful. The paperwork tracking of their files, management and local ownership is lacking business etiquette, and could use some good old fashioned honesty. Be cautious of the monthly charges, and document, document document.
Desired Settlement: I would like to be refunded the most recent fee charged plus the ridiculous credit card fees that were charged for the hold and then late fee, as we do not use this card at all of $84. We now need to be refunded from Oct 2012 thru January 2012 which is from when I first cancelled contract and does not include my February visit, totally 5 months at $49, $245. 245+84=$329 via money order or certified check only. The credit card on file is no longer available.

Complaint: did not like the customer service and wanted to cancel my membership and they Refunded my money to a closed account and failure to fix this promptly. I joined massage envy over the phone the location is in Fort Collins. The only reason I chose that location was because a massage therapist named **** works there and I really like him. I made an appointment with him about 3 almost 4 weeks out which was the only time he was available. I informed the staff that he is the only one I ever want to see. When I made the appointment I asked the girl if they did reminder calls and she said yes. I was happy to hear since I am a busy person and would probably forget since it was so far away. Well on the day I scheduled they called and said do you know you have an appointment right now, and of course I was shocked since I never got a reminder call. I told them I never got a call and they said we called you so I looked at my phone, no call and no message. When it was time to reschedule that missed appointment I had to wait another two weeks to see ****. By this time I am pretty upset since they made sure they had their money and had automatically taken two payments out of my account, mind you I never signed any paperwork authorizing this although I knew they were doing it. At this point I was pretty upset and told them I wanted a refund and did not want to be a member any more since I did not believe the front desk was a good staff and I have paid for two moths and have yet to receive any service. I also told the girl make sure you don't refund my old card that account is closed and she told me that card number was not on file any more so of course I believed her. Well two days later there was only one refund in my account, I immediately called and they told me that it takes a couple of days and I informed them that I already got one refund why not the other. It was at this time I repeated myself telling them again I really hope you did not refund to my old card and they assured me that they did not. Well they DID and now I have spent too much time on this having to call them multiple times and then they tell me I have to call my bank and wait for money that they owe me. I called my OLD bank and they said they never got any money and wouldn't since that account has been closed. I then called massage envy to tell them and they said huh weird. I was put in touch with a regional manager named Larry who was absolutely no help and kind of had an attitude with me telling me they are doing every thing they can, which is apparently nothing since ever time I call they are still trying to "figure it out" figure what out, they owe me $59 and have yet to refund my money and it is going on 12 days with no solution yet
Desired Settlement: My money back now, tired of waiting for a solution that they cant seem to find. They should also consider a monetary adjustment for the time i have spent dealing with this at my job.
Billing/Collection Issues
Read Complaint Details
Additional Notes
Complaint: I had a yearly contract. I could not cancel until expiration date. They charged me after it expired and said it auto renews. I signed a contrat in June 2012 for monthly massage. I was not allowed to cancel even tho I don't use it and move out of state for the winter. So I said lesson learned...never again. I called them in May or June of 2013 and told the receptionist that I did not want that contract renewed and she assured me it was canceled automatically on expiration date....They have just called me about my 10 messages on the books and I told them I am no longer interest in them as my contract was over. She informed me it was still valid and I would be charged again in August since it is an automatic renewal. This is not they way a legitimate company does business. There is no cancelation provision and when a contract is for a year I should not have to "notify them in writing" especially since I called their office to make sure I would not be charged. I am out $590.00 and will never feel good about using that business again.
Desired Settlement: I do not expect the 12 months of charges of $59.00 a month although I don't know why a contract cannot be canceled when your circumstances change. But I do not wish to have any further deductions taken out of my account and have them threaten to send me to collections if I refuse the deductions....even after a contract is finished.....
Business Response: Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2013/07/24) */ BBB dispute: XXXXXXXX The Massage Envy contract that the client signed sign on 6/12/12 is attached for her review. The first box that was initialed indicates that the membership is auto-renewable. Following the initial term it was set to continue on a month-to-month basis. It indicates that the membership can be cancelled during the initial term if the client moves, or a physician certifies she is not to receive massage. (Please review contract for details of those 2 options for cancelling during initial term.) On the second page of the contract the client signed it indicates that in the event of a change in circumstances, she may apply to temporarily freeze the membership. Per the written cancellation form signed on July 16 also attached, the membership with Massage Envy has been terminated. As an exception to the contract giving 30 days to utilize remaining member massages we have granted the client 60 days. She has until September 16, 2013 to receive the remaining member massages. On September 17th any remaining member massages will be expired. In addition, membership fees that were charged past the initial term have been refunded to the client's credit card. No further payments will be deducted from the clients account per the signed cancellation form. The initial term of the membership was fulfilled so the client will not be sent to collections. ***** ****** Owner Massage Envy Fort Collins

- 9 c green tomatoes
- 6 c apple, cooking
- 4 1/2 c onion
- 2 c celery; trimmed of leaves
- 1/2 c ginger, candied/preserved diced
- 3/4 c raisins
- 2 c sugar, brown, dark
- 1 1/2 c malt vinegar
- 1 tb salt
Yield: 4 Servings. Coarsely dice the tomatoes. Peel, core, and coarsely dice the apples. Coarsely chop the onions. and celery. In a heavy 6 to 8 quart enameled or stainless-steel pot, combine all of the above ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 3 hours, or until most of the liquid has cooked away and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape in a spoon. Stir frequently as it begins to thicken to prevent it from sticking. Remove the pot from heat and ladle chutney into hot sterilized jars. Fill to 1/4 inch from top, seal jars (rings and lids) and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. VARIATIONS: I would use cider vinegar instead of malt. When reducing any sauce for this long I usually put it in the oven at 225 F and stir frequently. This keeps it from burning on the bottom so easily.

Visit Bremen businesses during Homespun Holidays to see what's new and for discounts too
BREMEN — There's something new being sold at Koontz Hardware — something worth salivating over — and it isn't the latest in socket wrenches. Kent Koontz explained the line of The Dutch Kettle LLC salsas and sauces is something he likes and not only because of its taste or popularity, but because the foodstuffs are made locally.
"This is a Bremen product made by Bremen people," he explained. "It's not just good, but good for the town's economy."
For sale at Koontz' store is a fair variety of the many recipes made by The Dutch Kettle, co-owned by cousins Lyle Bontrager and Brent Slabaugh, including salsas in uncommon flavors like pineapple, cherry, peach and cranberry, and apple butter, sweet baby beets, dill pickle chunks and Ozark Gold applesauce. Other recipes for sale include jams made with cherries, black raspberries, cranberries with raspberries, red raspberries and even hot pepper jam and each jar costs a fair $3.97 each. Koontz said he heard about The Dutch Kettle jams and salsas from his niece Desiree Frederick who works at the store.
"It was a big seller at the Windmill Market," she explained, "and I knew he had to have it here. People loved it."
Bontrager said he grew up in southern Indiana but came to Bremen in his teens and that his cousin, who he grew up with, has lived in the Nappanee and Bremen area all his life. He explained how the two got into the homestyle food products business.
"We were both heavily involved in the RV industry and in 2007 that (type of) business started teetering pretty good," Bontrager said. "We knew it was time to get out of it and I knew the individual that owned The Dutch Kettle business in southern Indiana, and that he wanted to sell."
At first the new business was a little shaky.
"I was the more skeptical one in the beginning," Bontrager admitted, "but we jumped in and bought those recipes."
And the investment paid off well .. and with the only advertising being done by word of mouth.
"With the economy now, it's tapering off a little," he said, "but at one point we had to shut some of what we did down because we couldn't keep up with our customers' demands." He said that last year's freeze affected the business somewhat because of the low numbers of fruits coming in from orchards but that all-said, the company's been averaging about a 10 percent growth each year.
Adding to the recipes they originally purchased at the request of their customers, The Dutch Kettle currently makes about 20 different varieties of salsas and approximately the same amount of types of jams, but also makes barbecue sauces, and sells pickled products.
"We don't do the pickling here," he said, "but everything else is made in Bremen."
And some of the recipes Bontrager and Slabaugh added are a little out of the ordinary. "The peach salsa is hands-down the biggest seller," Bontrager said. "It's very sweet. We also have a cherry jalapeño jam and a peach habanera jam which goes very well with cream cheese and crackers ... but not for bread. If someone tries it with bread they won't like it. We also produce a corn and pepper salsa and a hot habanera salsa that was in demand from our Chicago and southwestern customers."
In Elkhart County there are many locations that sell The Dutch Kettle products including the Nappanee Bakery and Dutch Village but in Marshall County, only Mac's Market in LaPaz and Koontz' in Bremen sell the line of fresh mixtures. But the name is known nationwide.
"We sell to Branson Missouri and at a lot of Farmers Markets and booths," he said. "We're on the west coast. ... in Utah — they cover the west side of the Rockies for us — and we have distributors in New York. We produce it wholesale and our customers put their name on it. We only ask that they put somewhere (in discreet) the company name. … It's what the industry calls private labeling."
Nov. 15 through 17 during Bremen's Homespun Holidays customers at Koontz Hardware can not only find deals on merchandise and giftware but will get a chance to taste some of the recipes which Koontz said, based on popularity and request, he will add to.
During the holiday open house shoppers can find a wide variety of seasonal merchandise like artificial greenery and wreaths, decorative lights and of course, a variety of styles of snow shovels, as well as brand name candles like Candle-lite, Yankee Candle and Mystic Harbor. Look in The Bremen Enquirer for the Homespun Holiday ad for Koontz Hardware to receive 10 percent off total purchase prices on all merchandise and even the most frugal shoppers can find just what they've been looking in the further discounted items in the back of the store. Koontz Hardware is open Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Businesses involved in Homespun Holidays deals include H & R Block, Community Hospital of Bremen's Auxiliary Gift Shop, Bremen United Methodist Church, TMT Automotive, Bourbon Street Pizza (Bourbon), 1st Source Bank, Barry's Floor Center, The Cozy Home Shop, Kit N' Kapoodle, Horse Saddle Shop, Jensen Awards, Koontz Hardware, Woodie's Supermarket, Unicom Satellite, Olde District 5 (Moser's in Woodland), and Steve Weaver Arts. Those shopping during the three-day event have at winning $50 or $100 in Bremen Bucks.

I know, I should be posting something about Spring coming, which it is, but I didn't want to wait another year to post this one.
A beautiful but chilly day along the shores of Esquimalt Lagoon, near Victoria on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The seagulls staying close to shore and the fog banks hanging over the Strait of Juan de Fuca between the Island and the Olympic Mountains across the water in Washington State.

Ohhh I like this very much. Look at that fog! A Not only that Jann but for some of prairie dwellers spring is a longer wait then for you LOL :>)) Leslie
Good morning Leslie, glad you liked it. It was such a gorgeous day even though a bit chilly off the water.
I know about late springs..lol..I grew up on a farm just south of Ottawa..lots of snow and bitter cold:)

'Throwback Thursday' – Greg Michaels' First Car

Andrew Pelham, a 12-year old, was in the fifth grade when he created the 'EZ Baby Saver.' It's a brilliant and easy way to keep children from being left in hot cars. It's just so tragic when you hear stories of kids being forgotten in locked cars
I snore quite a bit. Marie Anne even says I stop breathing for short intervals. She would know. She's sometimes kept awake by my snoring. I suspect that those times I stop breathing might be "assisted breaks," if you catch my drift. Actually, I'm kidding. I do that with serious matters because it helps me keep a distance from the potential problem.
Well, what do you know...another internet list about the Pine Tree State. Recently, the Buzz Feed list of 'The 25 Best Parts About Being From Maine' was everywhere. Now, we get from the real estate site, Motovo, it's the '30 Things You Need To Know About Maine Before You Move There.'

Alright...it was a bad year a few years back when my son, Matt, came into the house after going out and opening our pop-up camper. "The camper's ruined," is all he said.
I immediately had visions of Matt, in typical style, standing by as it rolled down over the embankment. That wasn't the case. What happened was far worse. Mice had built winter nests in the canvas. Not only was it chewed to shreds but every cushion and mattress was drenched in mouse urine and excrement. Bad.
When you think of quiet rides, a motorcycle isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Enter the electric Harley Davidson, which will be introduced in New York this week!

Pre-Natal Vitamins for 1,000 Nicaraguan Women
Posted on: Monday, February 25, 2013
Keywords: Nicaragua, Latin America and Caribbean, Women's Health, Helping Hands
On the North Atlantic coast of Nicaragua, three-quarters of the people suffer from malnutrition. The effects are especially devastating on pregnant and lactating mothers. They are one of the groups most susceptible to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
That's why MADRE's Helping Hands program paired with Vitamin Angels to send aid to our sister organization in Nicaragua, Wangki Tangni, which has served more than 60 Indigenous communities in the region.
Through Vitamin Angels, an organization dedicated to providing vital nutrition to children and families in need, MADRE received over 3,000 bottles of pre-natal multivitamins to distribute to Wangki Tangni's maternity center and women's clinic.
This means 2 bottles each for every mother served by the clinic! These vitamins are critical to supporting a mother's nutrition and energy and encouraging a baby's healthy development.
In March, Helping Hands will begin packing our next shipment toNicaragua. Since last year's massive shipment, we have collected thousands of donations from our generous supporters, including contacts, glasses, toiletries, fabric and first aid. These items will join the dozen of boxes of pre-natal vitamins from Vitamin Angels.
You can help! Here's how:
- Visit our Helping Hands Wish List of material aid
- Donate to support this effort
- Sign up to be a volunteer in packing the shipment

Is Your Child's Education Affected By Tooth Decay?
New studies are showing that poor oral health, tooth decay, and tooth pain are putting some children at risk for falling behind in school. It is widely believed that many children, regardless of socioeconomic conditions, are not receiving routine dental care on a regular basis from a dentist or hygienist. It seems like good dental care takes a back seat at times in many families lives for various reasons.
The study recently conducted and published in the American Journal of Public Health examined close to 1,500 socioeconomically disadvantaged elementary and high school students in the Los Angeles area. They then matched their oral health to their academic achievement and attendance records. In previous studies, researchers found that about 75% of disadvantaged children in Los Angeles county area had some level of tooth decay.
In this study, children who reported having tooth pain were 4x more likely to have a low grade point average when compared to children without oral pain. The results also found that the tooth pain also resulted in a higher amount of absences, as well as more missed work for parents. This leads to lost classroom time as well as lost pay for parents and the family.
What can Parents Do to Avoid this?
Good oral hygiene must begin as soon as the child's first teeth erupt into the mouth. Many of these tips take just a little time and patience to facilitate good oral hygiene. The following are some tips for parents to maintain their children's teeth:
-Proper brushing. Many parents leave the tooth brushing up to their kids when they are as little as 2 years old. Parents and caregivers need to brush their child's teeth, and then monitor that their children are brushing properly using a fluoride (as soon as they are old enough to spit and not swallow) toothpaste. Toothbrushing can remove up to 60% of the plaque, bacteria, and food debris from mouth.
-Flossing. Yes, Flossing. Children can floss and in fact when they get in the habit as a child they have that habit for life. There are children's flossers which make it easier for them to perform themselves but again parents need to instruct, demonstrate, and monitor the job they are doing.
-Use a disclosing solution. A disclosing solution is a great tool to show what areas a child might be missing. It is effective in adults as well. It simply is a dye that colors the plaque remaining in your mouth. After you brush, you rinse with the disclosing solution to see what you have missed, then remove the remaining plaque and the color from your teeth. You are able to visually inspect how effective your hygiene techniques. It is a great learning tool, and it is highly effective.
-Rinse with an anti-cavity rinse. Children need fluoride more so than adults due to the developing teeth. A good example of this is ACT fluoride rinse. It comes in many flavors and is easy to use. There are also prescription fluoride rinses that are swallowed after rinsing to strengthen developing teeth. These rinses are only available through your dentist or pediatrician. DO NOT swallow over the counter fluoride rinses or toothpaste, it is harmful to both adults and children in this improper concentration.
-Avoiding or moderating sugars. Let's face it children love their sweets from fruit roll ups to gummy bears to fruit juice. To avoid tooth decay we must modify that behavior and if they are to have these items have them brush and rinse soon after so the sugars do not have time to linger in their mouths.
Tooth Decay and Tooth Pain can be avoided or at the very least limited with proper dental hygiene and regular visits to the dentist. Remember it is far cheaper to see your dentist regularly for routine dental examinations and professional cleanings than to show up in pain and end up missing school time.

Umetic, Nexen/(briefly) Outskirts of Enfin, Nexen
ARPers: Anyone in battle of Umetic
The tank thingamagigy (notice my very scientific terms) let loose an electric pulse, which knocked out a phoenix (not the one I was gonna yell at, another one) and badly battered another creature. I instinctively threw my "hands" up. This was a mistake.
The pulse slammed the hands backward, throwing me straight to the entrance of Enfin, but not before I saw the twins take out the tank's hover generator. By the time I came back to the battle, the rest of the antiSonas were fleeing. The gargoyle had, quite resourcefully, smashed the falling tank under her own weight.
For some reason, I decided I liked her.
"Whew, battle's over. Hovertank dude is dead, Alfeelo is dead, antiSona's are running away, thankfully without knowing who the gargoyle is. But in the heat of battle, I don't believe I got a chance to introduce myself. I am Dos, and I have some yelling to do."
But before I got a chance to start yelling, I got a whiff of what Greg was doing.

<Would you rather the alternative?>
And with that, he left.

ARPers: Anyone with a radio (or TV, if they still exist), this is being broadcasted live.
I put a jar in my coat and the other two in my lab coat. I then sneaked into the Auditorium, hung up my coat on the coat racks in the back, near the entrance, and sat down in the front. I put my pistol in my hand, for I couldn't shake the feeling that this was going to go horribly wrong.
And wrong it went.
The MC called,"And now, Dr. Gregory Matthew Xanatos, here to present Dr. Zhao's research on room temperature plastination."
I carefully concealed everything I had in my lab coat (scalpels, gun and bullets, two jars... I especially made sure the lab coat I brought with me was designed for storage) as I walked up to the stage.
At the moment I turned around, I saw the door to the outside burst open, while a voice calmly shouted,"Arrest that man, he is a DEVIANT."
And everything went to all hell.
Everyone looked at one another, confused, trying to figure out who the WAE patrols were talking about. I began to laugh.
"Excellent! Finally, some action."
I cockily tilted my head to the side, taking in the positions of the five WAE patrols based on how close they were to my jacket. I showed the gun I had in my hand, and pointed it at the leader.
"Really? You shoot that, and all of us shoot back. Regardless of your abilities, you will perish, taking only one, maybe two, of us with you."
"That's only true if I hit one of you at once. Fortunately, I have preperations in place to help me take care that little snag. Boom, gentlemen."
I laughed evilly, and shot my jacket, which was still in place, conveniently near the officials.
The three officials closest to my jacket were dead in an instant. The other two were thrown back, knocked out. The scientists were shocked, frozen.
I ran.
I heard the news van outside, "WAE officials are currently attempting to capture Deviant Dr. Gregory Matthew Xanatos. They are believed to be acting on a confidential tip- WHAT THE?!"
Perfectly timed with the explosion, Ms.
I ran to my truck, opened the door, turned it on, closed the door, and stepped on it. Dos, then decided to contact me:
<Exiting the facility.>
<Would you rather the alternative?>
I left my mind, and focused on the road. There were probably going to be more.

The Vestal and the Fasces: Hegel, Lacan, Property, and the Feminine
In this feminist exploration of the erotics of the marketplace, Hegel's notion of property and Lacan's idea of the phallus serve parallel functions in creating the subjectivity necessary for self-actualization. Subjectivity requires intersubjective relationships mediated through a regime of possessing, enjoying, and exchanging an object of desire. For Hegel, this regime is ...more

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - DECEMBER 13: Adrian Peterson #28 of the Minnesota Vikings runs the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 13, 2009 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
A few weeks ago the Chicago Bears defeated the Minnesota Vikings at home. On Sunday the Bears travel on the road for a game scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. EST. The comeback story of Adrian Peterson from his torn ACL at the end of last season is nothing short of amazing. Peterson is again one of the NFL's most explosive and dependable players. Peterson has topped 100 yards rushing in each of the Vikings last six games. The Vikings key to victory is on the ground as they average 154 yards rushing per game and have the worst passing attack in the NFL. The Vikings defense is getting old but is still capable of making some plays as they rank 14th against the rush and the pass and are 18th in points allowed. Minnesota may be the worst passing team in the NFL but the Bears are the next worst. Even with Jay Cutler the Bears passing attack seems to be a few completions to Brandon Marshall. Despite all that the Bears real concern in this game is stopping Peterson and the Vikings on the groun...

David Leyton
Brenda Simpson criticism
The mother of an eleven year-old little boy who was found dead in the Flint River eighteen days after he disappeared in April 1985 has come out against Leyton criticizing him for failing to prosecute the case. Brenda Simpson argued that, in spite of "witness statements and evidence from a new post-mortem exam that indicated he had been poisoned before he went in the river," the Genesee County prosecutor declined to file charges against the stepmother of the child in 2005 when he took up the case and refused to meet with Simpson to discuss his reasons for making this decision. [3] Two years later, the State Attorney General Mike Cox was able to file formal charges and receive convictions for the stepmother and her brother in the poisoning and drowning death of the child.

When I woke on September 11, 2001, I faced what I regarded as the world's most tedious commute, from my home in Brooklyn Heights to The Journal of Commerce's Newark, N.J., office — a walk, a subway ride, another walk, a ride on a train across New Jersey's industry-scarred wetlands, and another much longer walk through litter-scattered urban decay. The magazine had moved to the site only a few months before after 10 years on the 27th floor of 2 World Trade Center.
It was a glorious day, with a cloudless, electric blue sky, and the first scent of fall in the air.
So, as I mounted the steps to street level at the Park Place subway station on my way to the World Trade Center PATH station around 8:45 a.m., late as usual, I allowed myself to give in to childlike delight at the astonishing display of confetti that had mysteriously appeared in the air. Then I emerged into the street and saw, way above me, the angry, smoking face in the side of the World Trade Center Tower One.
The confetti, of course, was paper, blown out into the morning air by an explosion I had just missed. The streets were crowded, but nobody seemed to know what had happened. I heard someone mention a plane, but that seemed implausible. I didn't know then what we all know now — that the ragged mouth of fire was beginning a long, cruel narrative that would lead to thousands of deaths, the collapse of an entire ZIP code's worth of buildings, two wars and a global shockwave of paranoia and loathing that would roil the next decade and beyond. As I resumed my walk to the PATH station, the burning was so high up, it didn't feel as if it had anything to do with those of us on the street. If I move quickly, I thought, I can get through and away.
But as I walked, the scene changed. A dark flood of people emerged from beneath both towers, evacuating in a surprisingly dense and orderly way. Above, the scale of the burning hole was clearer, scary in scope, and I could see huge flames licking its edges. "Look, someone's waving a white flag. They're alive!" cried a woman next to me on the street. Then I saw someone jump, tiny as a doll, a thousand feet up, tumbling through the air. And I screamed. Or someone screamed. Or everyone screamed.
I told myself that I should leave, now, or have nightmares about this for years. I turned to head back to the subway and, just at that moment, a colossal explosion roared with an intensity that squeezed my eyeballs and pounded my chest. I saw a fireball coming toward me and — surprising myself — instinctively ran toward it because I could shelter from the ensuing rain of debris in the lee of the buildings on the cross street. I don't know how close I came to being hit by anything.
Much of what followed is blurred. There was the single enormous explosion, a great bellow of implacable hatred. Nothing else mattered. I think I ran. I know I cried. Somehow, I found myself in Chinatown, joining a long line for a pay phone because I knew my husband would be frantic to know if I was alive. I must have looked traumatized, because a woman in front of me regarded me with shock and immediately campaigned to have me pushed to the front of the line. I called my husband. I tried to tell him what I saw, but couldn't.
I began the long walk home; in the final few yards to my house, a young, dark-skinned man walking a few paces ahead was accosted by a middle-aged white woman. "It's YOU people who did this," she shouted. "You immigrants! Go back to where you came from!" Everything else about that day sounds horrible, and it was, but this was almost too much to bear.
For me, there were sleepless nights and panic attacks for a long time, even as over the years I developed a well-honed narrative about what happened that day. And sometimes, half-asleep, I would find myself walking through the old World Trade Center offices, where I had spent six years working. I still dream I'm in the office at 2 World Trade Center. I had some of my happiest times there, where even only a quarter way up that tower, it felt like I was hanging over the city, watching the weather come in from hundreds of miles away, across New York harbor. In high winds, the building used to creak and sway like a schooner, and the speed of the elevators knocked the breath out of me for the first few weeks. It all seemed precarious and yet, at the same time, thrilling. Now that the memories of that terrible day are jostling for position with all the other important events in my life, what stays in my mind is that flood of people coming out of the towers — orderly, polite, helping one another.
Later, I read about the extraordinary efforts people made to ensure their co-workers got out safe; many of them died in the process. We noted the million little acts of kindness that happened that day because it was an extraordinary day, but I believe they're going on all the time and we simply don't feel the need to gather them into a compelling narrative. Truth is, we are answering the hatred that went out on that September morning with our own acts of compassion and humor and tolerance and grace that together are loud enough to drown it out.

Quirky News
Programmer outsourced his job to China
A US computer programmer has been allegedly caught outsourcing his own job to a company in China.
He is said to have paid the firm a fifth of his six-figure salary to do his job for him, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The software developer, who is in his 40s, reportedly spent his working days surfing the internet.
The tale emerged via a blog by an computer forensic investigator at Verizon Business, a US-based communications firm.
Andrew Valentine claimed his company had been contacted by another firm who feared their system was being hacked after noticing it was being accessed from Shenyang, China.
An investigation revealed one of the company's employees had outsourced his own job, paying a Chinese firm more than £30,000 to write computer programmes.
The employee would then spend his day browsing sites such as YouTube, Reddit, eBay and Facebook, before sending his superiors a daily status report and going home.
"He physically FedExed his RSA token to China so the third-party contractor could login under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average nine-to-five work day," Mr Valentine added.
"The best part? Investigators had the opportunity to read through his performance reviews while working alongside HR. For the last several years in a row he received excellent remarks."

I am trying to test In-App purchases for MacOS. After entering the test user credentials, the App Store complains: "Current receipt invalid or mismatched ds person id." and the purchase fails.
Is the receipt for the application that you run was also for the same test user as the one that you try to perform In-App purchase for?
If your debug version runs without a proper receipt (from the same test user) I doubt the In-App purchase will work. Don't use the sample receipt when you want to test In-App purchase, use a real one from the same test user as you're going to buy the In-App product.
I have succeeded performing In-App purchase in my own Mac App (though it's still not in the store) so if you have more questions, fire away.
i myself was very much in trouble in order to integrate In-App Purchase in Mac OS X.
I googled a lot but nothing came with the solution. Finally, apple developers came to rescue. the basically told the reason in wwdc 2012 that there was a bug in MAC OS X (version 10.7.2) due to which one was not able to receive the receipt.
This bug has been solved in the latest version ie MAC OS X (version 10.7.4)
i simply upgraded my OS and was able to get the receipt. So friends who so ever get the problem "Current receipt invalid or mismatched ds person id." simply upgrade the OS to 10.7.4 and the apso write down the following code in your app delegate "applicationDidFinishLaunching" method-
and run ur code for first time outside the XCode. then after receiving the recipt u can debug again from the XCode.
Every time you clean the build u have to run ur app outside the XCode.
Some of the many things I tried to get around this problem.
Getting App Store Receipts
UPDATE: Here is Rainer Brockerhoff's comment from the bottom that article. Much more elegant solution.
The long procedure for getting a receipt:
Finally install it from the commandline like this
Now the app should contain a receipt at this path
Verification Email
Apple sends an email when you create a Test User within iTunes Connect.
My mail ended up in my spam folder, so I never saw it. Thus never got verified the Test User Account.
Check Status
Within iTunes Connect under Manage Your Apps > SampleApp > Manage In-App Purchases
Here the status should say: Ready to Submit
If it doesn't, then you may need to upload a screenshot.
I will answer my own question. I watched the video called "In-App Purchase for iOS and Mac OS X" on http://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2011/.
