The important clams — those who make the Chargers' snap judgments — aren't opening up. It's hard for us to digest a shell, but they think they have enough food in them to last the winter and be playing football as hearty mollusks well into January, at least.
Once training camp began, General Manager A.J. Smith proclaimed he was done talking about his two Pro Bowl holdouts, left tackle Marcus McNeill and receiver Vincent Jackson. Club President Dean Spanos, who has been known to chat during August, has declined interview requests.
Maybe later on, so I'm told.
We all realize this horse has been beaten well past its postmortem, but Spanos, who craves a championship and wants to get a new stadium built — which in this silly community would seem to require all the good will one could muster — has been known to step into these stalemates with both loafers. Didn't he do so when the LaDainian Tomlinson pot began to boil over in 2008?
"That's the perception," says Smith, indicating it may not have been exactly the case. "You have to get that from Dean Spanos."
OK. Oops.
"Well," Smith says, "all I can tell you is that the four of us (Spanos, Smith, capologist Ed McGuire and head coach Norv Turner) are together on everything we do. I think Dean believes in me and lets me do my job, and I appreciate that.
"I don't inform him of things we've done. Everything is discussed way in advance, and he asks a lot of questions. It's not blind faith. Dean is very much involved; I feel like he's a member of our staff. He knows me well. He knows my philosophy. He knows what I'm thinking. I have been to the principal's office, you know. I'm not perfect. This is not my structure. This is Dean Spanos' structure."
I'm hardly a fence-sitter, but I can see both sides here. McNeill and Jackson want long-term deals and deserve them.
The Chargers, citing the uncertainty in handing out extended contracts with a possible lockout year looming in 2011, have offered them maximum one-year tenders of about $3.2 million, which means the players have declined $2.5 million raises while millions of people in this country are out of work.
I find it difficult to feel sorry for them.
They should have gotten their butts in here, signed their most generous tenders, and worked things out instead of letting down teammates.
I find it impossible to feel sorry for Spanos, but this is his club, his money, and he is far from being out of the loop.
He's an active owner. But he should step in and end this stalemate — which obviously has his approval — because I don't know if he can afford to be without two Pro Bowl players and hope to win a championship. It's asking a hell of a lot.
The Spanos war chest is not going to be emptied if these guys are signed to long-term deals.
Even if there isn't a season in 2011, the TV networks are obligated to give the NFL $4 billion.
Divide that by 32, and it's $125 million per team without a ticket being sold. If the Chargers don't have to pay out players' salaries next year, that's a tidy profit. No way could the team clear that much money if it sold out every game.
But these people still think they have enough to win without two of their stars, and while I have my doubts, I do believe they're still talented enough to win the AFC West.
And that chip can win you the pot. Smith thinks it can happen.
"I think we've traveled that road — no matter who's here and who isn't," he says. "Things happen. Contract disputes and injuries happen. You hold the fort. I think we're a playoff-caliber team as we stand. If we get into the tournament, we have a chance to win the world championship. Any team that is a playoff team is a threat.
"Our struggles in the playoffs are well-documented and they're valid. We're trying to change that perception."
Nothing seems to change the agents' perception of Smith, who refuses to buckle, as he's doing now with McNeill and Jackson's mouthpieces.
"I know their world," he says of the agents. "We pay people here. How many players have left here to make more money elsewhere? One would have, (guard Kris) Dielman, and it would have broken my heart."
As for Turner, he sounds like a coach who has enough.
"People don't believe or trust us, but we have guys ready to play in those spots, ready to play at a high level," Turner says. "People are worried about the left tackle, but we have people who can play there. Our system allows us to help out. We have depth. We have a lot of good football players."
Two are missing.
It would be nice to see the boss put an end to all this.
He wouldn't even have to talk about it.

Wow, that fabric is glorious and I can understand your phone shaking when you looked at all the lovely fabric. I am so sorry to hear about Julia's illness.

Thanks for letting us know about Julia. That was very sweet of you, especially since you are also on holiday.
Golly, I forgot to say my thoughts and wishes are for a speedy recovery for Julia. Where ARE my manners? Probably with my not-yet-consumed coffee.ReplyDelete
I won't ask you to tell her anything. I'm sure she'll know soon enough how much we miss her and wish her well. Now she just needs to GET well!!
At the risk of overloading your blog comments, I didn't refresh mine until I read your blog and saw the update. Then I went to MY blog and updated based on what you had written. It was at that time my blog comments also refreshed. Talk about feeling foolish!! Sorry I wasn't here earlier, like I normally am on late Tuesday night.ReplyDelete
First off, thank you for taking some of your holiday time to let us know about Julia.ReplyDelete
Next.......OMG all those beautiful prints, they make me want to set up at least one, of the four, sewing machines I own, and make something!! Your "tunic" fabric is just gorgeous, absolutely love the print and the colors.
Sending love, hugs and get well wishes for Julia. We will all try to get by on our own for a week or two. You take care of yourself too!
Thank you so much, Jan, for letting us know. I knew something big must be up when I got up this morning in California and there was still no link. I will keep Julia in my thoughts and prayers for a smooth and full recovery and return here for updates on her condition. Bless you for being a good friend! Hugs, DarnellReplyDelete

Love all the colorful photos on your post today. I keep waking to Penny Lane playing in my head. I wonder the significance of that? I was a hippy in the day so maybe nothing more then a flash back to the days of wine and roses. Speaking of which! I love that purple patterned fabric. I love it and it would match my hair perfectly! Off to the shop to see if I can find one to match. Have a great week and I am sorry to hear Julia is ill..not a lot of fun. VickieReplyDelete
Plentiful hugs and well wishes for our lead Desker! Wow that fabric is minding boggling! Love your purchases just to test you see and the new topper! I wanna ride in the crazy taxi too....please please?! Hugs Nan GReplyDelete
Hi Jan, just read about Julia, so sorry to hear the bad news - I hope she will get better soon, and get home safely next week - what a shame and she was so looking forward to have a rest and fun on holidays! Ahhh!ReplyDelete
Your shots of that fabric have given me the will to go there too, even though I am not a fabric person! I think my next trip to London will end up in Old Brompton Road!
Lots of hugs to you
Hi Jan lovely to see you on Monday. Please pass on my love to Julia. I hope she gets better soon. How awful for her.ReplyDelete
Lynda B

Hi Jan, first off, Alan & I would be grateful if you could pass on our get well wishes to Julia, we hope she recovers quickly and is home again soon. Also let Mr and Miss Dunnit know that we are thinking of them too ... it must be a worrying time for them.ReplyDelete
Your crochet blanket is gorgeous - love the mix of bright and cheery colours - and your 'research' fabrics are lovely ... can't wait to see what you create with them.
And now I'm suffering from real geographic envy ... how I wish that fabric shop was a lot nearer than London. I'd happily move in tomorrow :)
Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
Please send love and best wishes to Julia.ReplyDelete
Am drooling over that fabric shop :). Love that piece on the left, simply gorgeous!
Thanks for your comment and the update on Julia. I', wishing her well as I am sure all WOYWWers will be doing. Let's hope she recovers soooon.ReplyDelete
That shop looks amazing and I know I would love it. I must tell DD in Brighton as she can easily get to "the smoke". I love your choice of purchase too. It reminded me that I have some Liberty Tana lawn to sew up into a Summer top....
Jo x
Thanks so much for my ATC treasure.
Hi Jan...happy WOYWW and thanks for letting us all know of Julias absence. Please join me in with everyone else wishing her a swift recovery, all our love and hugs.

Thank you for letting us know about Julia, sending prayers... The fabric shop is such a great find. And you only purchased the one piece of fabric? I doubt that i would have been that good. Diane @ afocusedjourney.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Thanks for letting us know about Julia - what a shock! Sending prayers for healing and comfort.ReplyDelete
Love that shop - there's one by B'ham centre markets .... it's a great place to go and browse on a rainy day!!
Love that crochet - I'm hoping to buy some small lots of bright colour wools like yours for my baby blankets, thought I would add a bright border round each one.
Have a good week and (((hugs))) to Julia.
OMG! First off, give our leader a hug from me please.ReplyDelete
Secondly, loving your crotchet.
Thirdly, that tuk tuk is great but the shopping will fall out if you go round a roundabout!
Lastly, when are we going? I think you found heaven on earth!
Julia, TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! You are missed. I am sure you will have a wild tale to tell when you are mended and able. Hugs Thanks for letting us all know JanReplyDelete

realsolutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
I am nearing completion of a qwik-tips book for new college grads which covers career, money, and life skills. The main content of the book is presented in a fast-reading, action-item list in bulleted format.I want to include expert advice in the form of brief quotes here and there throughout the book. What I need is a two-page layout: quotes on the left, main content on the right. Read the entire contest brief and look at the sample documents before working on your entry. The book will be 6" x 9".
QwikSmarts™ Take Charge™ book series
I have written a book for new college graduates that provides advice and tips on about 150 topics from careers to money handling to everyday life issues like time management, living with roommates, and home organization.
All the tips in the book are presented as action-item, bulleted lists so the readers can find what they need fast, and have specific things they need to do, rather than reading page after page and not finding anything helpful that they can do right now.
The front cover of the book has been selected already (see it here:
Most of the topics in this book fit on just one page so it's super-quick to get the info. That means that the information on that topic have been painstakingly edited to make sure it fits on just one page. Please use the sample text provided here (http://realsolutionspress.typepad.c…20text.doc) to create the right-hand page for your entry.
Though it seems like there is little room for creativity on that right-hand page, it is still crucial that it flows and is consistent with the tone set by the front cover of the book. The most creativity will come on the left-hand page where the various quotes will be. A few sample quotes for you to use in your design can be found here:
Make note of the colors and fonts used on the front cover when choosing what you'll use for the page design (body text, quote text, header/footer, etc.).
The book is now in MS Word but can be moved into PageMaker 7.0, if that will allow more creative layouts that I can duplicate and manipulate myself as I finish the book. That is a major requirement of this contest: I will have to be able to take the winning design and finish up the 200-page book myself. If you use advanced features of some sort and yours is the winning design, you will need to include a little training to be sure I can recreate the design at my end.
This is a work-for-hire project, so the winning designer will release rights to the design to me to use in this book (print and electronic versions).
The book will be 6" x 9".
- I want a layout that is pleasing and friendly and easy to read. Remember that the audience is new college graduates, so we're talking young twenty-somethings.
- The right-hand page must be the action-item bulleted list format. Use the sample page I've provided. The text on this page must fit on your page (including any headers/footers).
- The bullets used on the right-hand page don't necessarily have to be the checkmarks you see in the sample document, but you'll notice that the checkmarks are used on the front cover, so there will have to be consistency between the two somehow.
- The left-hand page must be for the expert advice quotes. There will be a minimum of two and perhaps as many as four. Use the sample quotes I've provided.
- The inside margins must be a little larger than the outside margins so the text won't get lost down in the middle of the book.
- I must be able to duplicate and manipulate the design myself in either MS Word or PageMaker 7.0 in order to complete the book.
- I would like to see the layout in both color and black-and-white, because the book will be printed as well as turned into an ebook. Take notice of the colors used on the front cover to create a consistent look.
- The book will be 6" x 9".
- I don't want something that I cannot recreate and manipulate myself in Word or PageMaker. The book is 200 pages and I expect to have to recreate the left-hand quote page about 25-30 times.
- I don't want the quotes page to be crammed full. It needs to have much more white space than the right-hand bullets page.
- I don't want a design that I will not be able to work with on my own to finish the book. A great-looking design that I have no way of re-creating will be pretty useless to me.
- I don't want any other page size than 6x9.

SkinRenu is an entirely new approach to skin care developed in conjunction with Dr. Leigh Hopkins, Pharm.D, RPH. By combining the proper combination of active lipids and key ingredients (essential fatty acids, vitamins, botanical extracts, antioxidants and peptides), these activate the cellular mechanisms responsible for keeping skin healthy and normal.
When the skin is corrected to its normal state, it can correct, control, and deter most negative environmental effects. The result is skin that resists the visible and cellular effects of ageing. SkinRenu products are non-irritating - and focus on nourishing skin at the cellular level, where all healing takes place.

Obama-era official has admitted he met Iran's foreign minister 'three or four times' since Trump took office.
US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have accused Obama-era official John Kerry of "actively undermining" US policy on Iran after he admitted meeting Iran's foreign minister "three or four times" since leaving office.
"John Kerry had illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime which can only serve to undercut our great work to the detriment of the American people," Trump said in Twitter post on Friday.
"He told them to wait out the Trump Administration!" he said, ending his Tweet with the word "BAD!"
John Kerry had illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime, which can only serve to undercut our great work to the detriment of the American people. He told them to wait out the Trump Administration! Was he registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act? BAD!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2018
Meanwhile, Pompeo told a news conference that Kerry's meetings with Mohammad Javad Zarif were "inconsistent" with US foreign policy and "beyond inappropriate".
"You can't find precedent for this in US history, and Secretary Kerry ought not to engage in that kind of behaviour," an agitated Pompeo told reporters at the State Department.
"It's inconsistent with what foreign policy of the United States is as directed by this president, and it is beyond inappropriate for him to be engaged."
Kerry, who negotiated the 2015 Iran nuclear deal which Trump scrapped this year, said during a tour to promote his new book "Every Day is Extra" that he had met Zarif "three or four times" since Trump had entered the White House.
A spokesperson for Kerry said in a statement to The Hill on Friday: "Kerry stays in touch with his former counterparts around the world just like every previous secretary of state.
"There's nothing unusual, let alone unseemly or inappropriate, about former diplomats meeting with foreign counterparts ... What is unseemly and unprecedented is for the podium of the State Department to be hijacked for political theatrics," the spokesperson added.
Meanwhile, Kerry took to Twitter to respond to Trump, saying: "Mr. President, you should be more worried about Paul Manafort meeting with Robert Mueller than me meeting with Iran's FM. But if you want to learn something about the nuclear agreement that made the world safer, buy my new book."

Trump supporters immediately leapt on Kerry's actions as evidence of "treason," with some calling for him to go to prison.
A spokesperson for Kerry said there was nothing improper about his conduct.
Nuclear deal
Tensions between Iran and the US have risen after Washington pulled out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Under the 2015 deal, the Iranian government agreed to cut down its uranium stockpile and scale back its enrichment programme far below the level required to build a nuclear weapon.
Tehran also agreed in perpetuity to notify United Nations inspectors if and when it builds a new nuclear facility.
In exchange, UN-approved sanctions were lifted in January 2016, and Tehran was allowed to resume trading oil and gas on the international market. A total of $100bn in frozen Iranian assets was also released.
Following the US pullout from the nuclear agreement in May, Iran said it was interested in keeping the deal alive, but only if the remaining powers could guarantee it would not face economic isolation under Washington's sanctions.
Europe and other signatories of the deal oppose the US' decision to leave the agreement and have vowed to find ways of maintaining trade ties with Iran.

Wills and Trusts are two Very Different Kinds of Documents Used in Estate Planning
05/17/2017Everyone Needs a Will, but not Everyone Needs a Trust. Knowing the Difference Will Help You to Understand What You Need
A will is the cornerstone of an estate plan. It's the legal document by which an individual instructs how property should be distributed among heirs, as explained by WMUR in "Money Matters: Wills vs. Trusts." A will must be processed through the probate court system, which is how your affairs will be concluded after all debts have been paid. Your will includes the name of your executor in Florida it's called Personal Representative. That's the person who is in charge of making sure that your wishes, as expressed in the will, are fulfilled.
On the other hand, a trust is a legal document and the grantor is the person who creates the trust. The grantor decides what assets are going to be included, selects the trustee and chooses beneficiaries. The trustee manages the property in the trust and protects the assets for the beneficiary. The trustee distributes assets according to the trust's provisions.
The grantor can be the trustee, and if it's you, you need to name a successor trustee, in case you are unable to function as trustee. The beneficiary can be you during your lifetime and then your spouse, children, or friends at your death. The trust also directs when and how the assets are to be distributed to the beneficiaries.
For a trust to function properly, you'll need to transfer the title of assets to the trust. For example, your brokerage account can be transferred into a trust account, and IRAs and 401(k) s can name the trust as the beneficiary.
Here are some significant differences between wills and trusts:
- Will are public records, but trusts are usually private;
- You must transfer assets to your trust for it to work, while you're alive. This is not the case with a will;
- A trust can manage assets while you're incapacitated, but a will only works at your death;
- With property in more than one state, you might be able to avoid probate in each state by placing all of the property in a trust; and
- You can designate a guardian for your minor children or dependents in a will, but not a trust.
Depending on the complexity of your estate, including its size, you may find that you need a will and a trust, or several different types of trusts. An estate planning attorney will be able to help you identify what, if any, trusts, are needed to protect your family.

How to Create Real Estate Floor Plans
October 26th, 2016
I was wondering if you know where I can learn how to create floor plans for my real estate clients? Is there an app you can recommend.
There is a huge number of floor plan Apps. Most people that do floor plans use some kind of laser measuring device to quickly measures rooms. Back in July of this year, we did a poll on which Floor Plan creation software as the most popular.
Which floor plan product you use will depend on how elaborate a floor plan you want to make and what's popular in your market. Over the last several years, floor plans have gotten more elaborate. There are three basic types:
- Upper-end 360/3d: If you are shooting upper-end homes you may want to look at Matterport which can make both floor plans and 360 3D images. These make more sense for upper-end because the camera to create them and the hosting service is fairly expensive.
- 2D Black and White: On the other hand if you just want to create a floor plan to integrate into a virtual tour you will want to get a laser measuring device (like this) that will allow you to quickly measure interiors and use software like either FloorDesign or MagicPlan for the Mac or EZblueprint for Windows. All of these make simple black and white 2D style floor plans.
- 3D colored: For creating more elaborate floor plans that are 3D, colored and even have furniture floorplanner.com is a good choice. Floorplanner.com also makes an iPad App called FloorplanFinder.
What is your favorite floor plan creation software?

If you're craving a recipe with a particularly expensive ingredient, you may still be able to afford it on your budget. You just need to make a few substitutions. Recipes for soups, tarts or soufflés may call for crème fraîche, which is very expensive. Instead of splurging, simply substitute with an inexpensive alternative like sour cream. If you're making an Italian dish that requires mascarpone cheese, use cream cheese instead. You probably won't even notice the difference.
Fresh herbs can also be expensive. If the real thing is out of your budget, use dried herbs instead. If you buy them bagged from your local ethnic store, you'll probably get an even better deal. Just make sure you research to find out the proper measurement substitution -- dried herbs are usually much more potent than fresh. If you're not sure what other expensive ingredients can be easily substituted, you can probably find out with a simple Internet search.

Animal Hospital
Repair Service
You will not be surprised to learn that in the years since 1927, there have been many calls on our expertise to replace torn tails, ears, lost eyes etc to well worn and loved animals. As well as repairs, we can re-stain and re-wax your animal giving it a whole new lease of life-fit for another 30 years companionship! We love to see "Old Friends" and return them to their families in a better state of health.
The cost of a basic re stain and wax polish varies between £35 – £75 + VAT depending upon the size of the animal. This cost EXCLUDES the cost of postage.
Should your animal require more extensive repairs, it is very helpful if you can send through photos of the damaged areas. We will assess what work is needed/possible and provide a quote by email.
Alternatively, you can purchase materials to re stain and wax polish your animal with our care products.
Looking After Your Animal
To keep your animal in the best of condition, may we suggest the following tips:
- Keep your animal out of direct sunlight and or direct heat. The sunlight will fade the stain and heat will dry out the leather and cause it to become brittle.
- Keep your animal dry and away from water. We use a water-soluble stain on our animals and this can be damaged by direct contact with water.
- Dust and wax your animal on a regular basis. The animal should be polished with a good quality wax polish. DO NOT USE any spray or liquid polish. These types of polish contain chemicals, which damage the water-soluble stain. We use "Nikwax Waterproofing Wax" which can be purchased from our Online shop or hiking shops. The wax is used for waterproofing walking boots etc. Any similar product will do. In the early life of your animal apply wax monthly – this will help seal in the stain and minimize water damage. Warm the wax slightly so it is soft and apply to the animal with a soft cloth. Leave to dry and buff up to a shine. Thereafter, apply wax on occasion to keep the leather in good condition.
How to return your animal to us for repair
- Pack your animal carefully in a box and send it to us at the postal address given under contacts.
- Please include a letter with your name, address and contact telephone number and an idea of what you would like doing to your animal.
- We will contact you to confirm what we are able to do and a quote for the work. You can contact us before sending to get a idea of the cost of repair but please note that this will only be a estimate – it is often difficult to tell until we see the animal. No work will take place until approval is given and please allow 6-8 weeks for the work to be done.
- After settlement of the account, we will return the animal to you!

Class for all eight grades was held in this room until 1947 when the town of Lincolnville built a consolidated school five miles inland in Lincolnville Center. In 1994 the Historical Society moved its collection into the restored school room and began to create a museum.

Chapter 16
Part 1: Home and School Investigation
Send the Letter to Family (PDF file) home with each child. Once all the children have brought in a paper with a description of a special day, organize the papers in numerical order. Each day, announce whose special day it is and why, making sure to focus on the number part of the date. For example, focus on the number 23 if it is May 23. When there are school holidays or weekends, be sure to announce those special days right before or right after. A good time to do this activity is after Lesson 4 on using the numbers on a calendar. This activity will work best if you send the letter home on the 20th of the month or earlier.
Part 2: Be an Investigator
A good time to do this investigation is after Lesson 5 on counting by twos, fives, and tens.
- student worksheet for each group of two children
- 30 counters for each group of two students
Introducing the Investigation
Tell the children that you are going to give them a bag of counters. Have them count the counters, first by twos and then by fives. Show them the student worksheet they can use to record their counting.
Doing the Investigation
When students are finished counting by twos and fives, you might also want to ask them to count by ones. Ask them if they got the same end number no matter which way they counted.

If you're lucky enough to live in a place where these are already trending (or has already trended and gone) and you have a lot of plain ones laying around that you'd be willing to sacrifice, go for it! Not like you'd really be sacrificing anything because this DIY will make your bralet look fabulous and really be a statement piece!
If you're really wanting to invest a lot of time with this, I'd suggest embroidering beads and such on to your bralet (if it's thin enough b/c if it's too thick your hands/fingers will hate you in less than 30 minutes).
If you're looking for a quick little statement piece to wear out later tonight or within a few days and you don't have a lot of time on your hands I suggest hot glue or e6000 glue (my all time favorite). just be careful with the dreaded overgluing that could happen. be really careful.
Grab some things like sequins or jewels or pearls (as seen below) or even some unconventional things like bolts and safety pins *drool* for that all out upcycled look.
Let your imagination run wild!
Good luck! <3

I'm late getting this post out again. Sorry, but I was deep down in the editing caves
Shall we get on with it?
It's the first Wednesday of the month, and also the year, which means it's time for another action-packed installment of the Insecure Writers Support Group.
I'm assuming that most of you are already aware of what this group is and what it does, but if you're looking for more information or a complete list of participants, please click on the above link...
Today's co-hosts are: Eva @ Lillicasplace, Crystal Collier, Sheena-kay Graham, Chemist Ken, LG Keltner, and Heather M. Gardner!
Well, this isn't intended to be the main focus of my post, but that 'show, don't tell' rule is currently giving me the hardest time (Stupid, lazy draft) so I will say that. But mostly, this is how I feel about writing rules:
Now on to the rest of the post!
All right, so in my last post, I told you about this woman in my critique group who believes I have some kind of Manuscript Dysmorphic Disorder. According to Wikipedia, body dysmorphic disorder (the inspiration for my condition) "is characterized by a obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it." The flaw may be, in actuality, non-existent, or if it does actually exist, it's nowhere near as bad as the affected thinks it is.
I imagine that if my betas or critique partners were reading this post, they would read that explanation and go...
Because this is how is normally goes when they read for me:
Betas/Critique Partners be all like:
And then I'm all like:
Which is frustrating for all involved, I'm sure. Especially when I break out the spray bottle...(Just kidding. I wouldn't do that.)
But I'll figure it out eventually, right? I'll find whatever it is that bothers me so very much about this manuscript (and it is up to me to find it), edit the hell out of it, and then move on to another story, and do it all over again.
Can't wait...
That'll do it for me today. How are things going in your neck of the woods?

The gates glimmered in front: still open. Back to the world again. Enough of this place. Brings you a bit nearer every time. Last time I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. Poor papa too. The love that kills. And even scraping up the earth at night with a lantern like that case I read of to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores. Give you the creeps after a bit. I will appear to you after death. You will see my ghost after death. My ghost will haunt you after death. There is another world after death named hell. I do not like that other world she wrote. No more do I. Plenty to see and hear and feel yet. Feel live warm beings near you. Let them sleep in their maggoty beds. They are not going to get me this innings. Warm beds: warm fullblooded life.
Martin Cunningham emerged from a sidepath, talking gravely.
Solicitor, I think. I know his face. Menton, John Henry, solicitor, commissioner for oaths and affidavits. Dignam used to be in his office. Mat Dillon's long ago. Jolly Mat. Convivial evenings. Cold fowl, cigars, the Tantalus glasses. Heart of gold really. Yes, Menton. Got his rag out that evening on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. Pure fluke of mine: the bias. Why he took such a rooted dislike to me. Hate at first sight. Molly and Floey Dillon linked under the lilactree, laughing. Fellow always like that, mortified if women are by.
Got a dinge in the side of his hat. Carriage probably.
— Excuse me, sir, Mr Bloom said beside them.
They stopped.
— Your hat is a little crushed, Mr Bloom said pointing.
John Henry Menton stared at him for an instant without moving.
— There, Martin Cunningham helped, pointing also. John Henry Menton took off his hat, bulged out the dinge and smoothed the nap with care on his coatsleeve. He clapped the hat on his head again.
— It's all right now, Martin Cunningham said.
John Henry Menton jerked his head down in acknowledgment.
— Thank you, he said shortly.
They walked on towards the gates. Mr Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind a few paces so as not to overhear. Martin laying down the law. Martin could wind a sappyhead like that round his little finger, without his seeing it.
Oyster eyes. Never mind. Be sorry after perhaps when it dawns on him. Get the pull over him that way.
Thank you. How grand we are this morning!

Scientists using radiocarbon dating have confirmed that an ancient Judean date palm seed among those found in the ruins of Masada in present-day Israel and planted three years ago is 2,000 years old -- the oldest seed ever to germinate.
The seed has grown into a healthy, 4-foot-tall seedling, surpassing the previous record for oldest germinated seed -- a 1,300-year-old Chinese lotus, researchers reported Thursday in the journal Science.
The tree has been named Methuselah after the oldest person in the Bible. It is the only living Judean date palm, the last link to the vast date palm forests that once shaded and nourished the region.
Sarah Sallon, who directs the Louis L. Borick Natural Medicine Research Center in Jerusalem, became interested in the ancient date palm as a possible source of medicines. She enlisted Dr. Elaine Solowey of the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies at Kibbutz Ketura to coax the seeds out of dormancy.

This trunk cross section had plaques marking years on its rings. The center ring said Birth of Jesus. When the tree finally fell (of natural causes), it was over 1800 years old.
Even the clover were supersized, blanketing the forest floor.
This is a family circle of Redwoods where roots and trunks had all grown together over the years.
The fat yellow guy there is a Banana Slug. I'm fascinated by them!
After walking back to our car, Hubs and I noticed a log cabin with a neon sign promising cocktails. An eclectic end to a perfect day.
The staggering size of California Redwoods is difficult to convey in a photograph. But I feel very blessed to live so close to such natural beauty. It was an unforgettable experience to walk among giants, relishing the feeling of being small and insignificant by comparison. I felt I was breathing the freshest air, and it's no wonder so many creatures call the Redwoods home.
Images are my own.

text: Molly was all of maybe a year old and weighed only 6 lbs. Trying to save a little money, I purchased an over-the-counter flea and tick product for small dogs under 20 lbs. Well, I almost killed her. She was pale, breathing was shallow, and she was salivating profusely. Dr. Kaehler was on call that evening and met us at the clinic. She gave her a Dawn dish soap bath to get off what she could. Then it was just a waiting game to see if she would hold her own. There wasn't much we could do at this point and she sent us on our way to have dinner with friends as planned at the Kaiserhoff and said if she came around before we came back she would bring her up to the Kaiserhoff. She said she would stay with Molly as she had paperwork to do and a few other odds and ends. We had a nice dinner, went back to the clinic and Molly had come around and was anxious to get going and go home. Dr. Kaehler took the time to contact the company that produced the flea and tick and make a complaint about the little puppy on the packaging leading one to believe that it was safe for young dogs but in the fine print it was for dogs 10 lbs to 20 lbs! Dr. Kaehler was so kind and supportive in trying to make me feel better, that things happen and I wasn't a bad "Mom". This was 7 years ago and Molly is happy and healthy and I always get my vaccinations and flea and tick products from the clinic. I'm not taking any chances on Molly's health. Thanks to everyone at the clinic they are the best!

While northern Italy and especially Tuscany are extremely popular with tourists – for a good reason – Verona is located slightly off the beaten track but still very close to Milan, Florence, Pisa or Venice. Unlike these cities, Verona doesn't feature any 'must see' sights. It's the atmosphere and interest in culture and history that draws most visitors here and captivates them. Although Verona is the fourth most visited city in Italy, the attractions are spread throughout town so that it never feels too touristy.
The Roman theatre of Verona was built at San Pietro's hill in the first century BC, but left to decay after the fall of the Roman empire, and finally completely covered by buildings. Only during the Renaissance did Verona become interested in its ancient heritage. Finally, in the 19th century, archaeologists started excavating the original site. But they decide to go a step further than marking the ruins just another Roman sight and asking visitors to pay an entrance fee: they reconstructed the entire building and started to show plays here once again, two thousand years after it was first built.
The Verona Summer Theatre Festival was founded in 1948 and has its main venue at the new/old theatre, although after the festival has grown so much, there are events taking place in various theatres and venues throughout the city. Courtyards, churches and other buildings in the medieval centre of the city are turned into stages for various plays and events.
In addition to traditional and modern theatre, the festival now also includes a Shakespearian Festival, a ballet and a jazz festival. On performance days, no traffic is allowed around the theatre, which means you can enjoy the plays with the gentle background music of the nearby river that visitors must have heard for many centuries. The festivals start in late June and then overlap throughout the summer months, which means that for the entire summer, Verona turns into a giant festival site where there's always something to see and do.
Last but not least, Verona is a must see destination for every Shakespeare fan who wants to follow in the footsteps of the world's most renowned couple – although Shakespeare himself never set foot in the city, Verona was more than happy about the free promotion it received through its play.
You can even visit many Romeo and Juliet related sights, such as Juliet's house with the infamous balcony (although we're not quite sure it was really hers, it's fairly impressive) the Piazza delle Erbe or market square of the town or the cathedral where Romeo and Juliet are said to have made their marriage vows to each other. All of this should be taken with a grain of salt, but still, the cathedral of Verona is a sight to behold as you can see intricate wood carvings and impressive marble columns alongside a stunning number of paintings. Castelvecchio, a 14th century red brick castle on the river banks is home to the city's art museum, while the courtyards is used for plays and concerts during the festival season.
Like anywhere in Italy, Verona is home to a lot of local culinary specialities – no matter what the touristy restaurants try to tell you, pizza is not one of them. Traditional foods of the area are rustic pasta and meat dishes and horse meat, which you might even eat in the completely innocent looking form of salami.
You can easily spend a week or more in and around Verona, especially during the Summer Theatre Festival, but consider using the cheap and efficient Italian train system to see more of the area. Verona is just an hour on the train from Venice (where the train pulls into the lagoon city via a 2 mile long railway bridge) and an hour and a half from Milan.
Verona is one of Italy's most popular cities because of the play it's set in. Has a work of fiction ever inspired you to visit a place?

Here's one of my few remaining Mull pottery glasses that I so admire.
I wish I had the talent and knowledge to recreate them myself, but as talented as my pottery is I am still defeated by the wheel and can only dream. And at least I'm professional at that. And the makers of these wonders of human ability have stopped making them.
For now I stick with geometrical shapes with not a single wheel in sight. Here's what I do:
These square or rectangular thingies become super-duper elegant serving dishes. This one is the 3rd one I'm making, and if I have time I will add a few more, even if Kevin thinks I've made too much stuff and should start giving it away. He's one to talk! We have 2 record decks in the house here, one more in 'storage' with a friend in London and yet another on its way to his mum's
… the last one was apparently bought just for the arm, but since then he's changed his mind and went on to buy another arm for the one in London so now he's going to swap the arms around, bring the one in London here and take the one going to his mum's to Norway for my parents' summer house. He says he's not going to buy any more, but I know better. Before long they will start breeding and multiply. So I'll make more pottery stuff and fill up my share of the flat with that.
Here's one I made earlier:
I gave this set to my sister, and on seeing the candle sticks she immediately turned one of them upside down and declared that they would be much better as wine goblets. So that's why I'm trying that idea out. Wine goblets with matching serving dish. Ok, so I'd given the candle sticks some rather silly 'wings' that didn't quite work, but…
Apropos of nothing; I'm quite actively looking for a new flat for us. We could do with a little more space and a bigger kitchen – and then we can have a record deck in each room, try to keep them separate so they won't breed. That aside; new place. I've seen two so far and won't be seeing any more through agents.
In this country the agents are permitted to demand the equivalent of 3 months' rent up front as commission, in addition to the 3 months' rent you have to put down as a deposit! I've been told that this is somewhat out of sync with the rest of the EU countries and that several attempts have been made at bringing them into line with the rest of the union, but I'm not suprised the property agents here are refusing to follow suit. All that money for NO WORK! Who'd want to give up on that?
So we're going private, somehow.

Metro's Sunday night TV breakdown.
'56th Annual Grammy Awards'
AWARDS SHOW. Sometimes these award shows can get a little tedious, which is why, we guess, they've come up with some seriously weird pairings to perform at tonight's Grammys. Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar? Um, OK. Robin Thicke and Chicago? Wait, what? Punk and Stevie Wonder? Yes, please, actually. Jay Z and Beyonce? Oh yeah, that one's actually not weird at all. L.L. Cool J once again hosts the festivities.

'The Bachelor: Sean and Catherine's Wedding'
REALITY. Former "Bachelor" Sean Lowe and the lady who won the big game show (ahem, won his heart) are getting married in a big, showy, two-hour-long televised event. Of course they are. Do we care? Not really, but we're sure there will be plenty of single gals in pajamas cozying up to a pint of Ben and Jerry's to watch it tonight anyway.

DRAMA. Only one episode in and HBO's new show about a group of gay friends in San Fran is already garnering some criticism for being, well...boring. Not enough snark and Madonna sing-a-longs, apparently. We actually think this show has a ton of potential (and if it proves that gay dudes are sometimes as boring as straight dudes, well, good — people are boring sometimes. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it) so we're hoping it picks up the pace a bit tonight.

Treryn Dinas
Cliff Fort
View all content for Treryn Dinas
24 June 2014
The walk along the coast path from
Carn les Boel
is lovely one, rugged cliff tops dropping away to the blue-green below. At Gwennap Head basking sharks can sometimes be seen, but we don't have that privilege today.
It's an up-and-down section of path, dropping down to the tiny sandy beach at Porthgwarra (tea-shop), back up to exposed cliffs before a further drop to St Levan's Well above Porth Chapel. The well is worth a stop off, in its unusual position half way up the cliffs. From here it's a brief foray into tourist central near the famous Minack Theatre and the thronged beach at Porthcurno. From the cliffs above the Minack there is a great view of the day's final objective, the impossibly craggy headland of Treryn Dinas (pronounced "Treen").
We last came here about eight years ago, I only have a few crappy pictures and am keen to return - since then we've only seen the headland from a couple of boat trips, which reinforced just how startlingly rocky the site is. Along with its companion on the north coast,
Gurnard's Head
, this is the most impressive of the West Penwith cliff forts.
The defences are quite something. The outermost consist of a single, huge earthwork bank, several metres high in places. South of this is a flat area, quite overgrown now, before the central defences appear quite some way further south. These are formed of three lines of banks and ditches, much smaller in size than the outer rampart, but still providing a series of obstacles for any unwanted guests to negotiate. Beyond these, the ground slopes downwards towards a band of craggy granite outcrops. A sort-of path runs through the centre of these, taking the visitor along a ever-narrowing channel between the rocks. There is an easier route round to the west, but it would be interesting to know which was the original way in - perhaps one was the tradesman's entrance.
Once you've semi-scrambled over these, you are confronted with the narrowest point of the headland, where a ditch fronts another well-defined stone rampart, the innermost of the defences. Stone facing still lines the entrance through the centre of the bank. A circular round house (perhaps a guard house) originally existed at each end of this, but one has largely eroded away now.
Beyond this final earthwork, the tip of the headland is a wonder of jagged towers of granite. One of these is topped by the famed "Logan Rock", a rocking stone once toppled by sailors of the Royal Navy and re-erected at their expense following a public outcry. Quite right too.
I have a good scramble about in the rocks, although I don't manage to find a way up to the Logan Rock itself - I'm sure a longer visit would provide the answer to how to get up there, but it's quite exposed in places and the wind whips around the rocks, even on this sunny June day.
It's an amazing place here. Once beyond the innermost rampart, there's little that would suggest a nice place to live though. My speculative guess is that any occupation here took place further inland, within either the safety of the enormous outer earthwork or the central rows. Which leaves the question of why build a strongly defended rampart across the rocky tip of the headland. Perhaps someone important had their home here, or perhaps the headland was kept free of riff-raff for the inevitable "ritual purposes". My usually sceptical self can certainly imagine that here, as the wind gusts around the stone towers and the focal point of the Logan Rock itself, perched above it all.

Hartford Democratic Town Committee Finally Has Its Leader
By STEVEN GOODE
April 08, 2010
Jean Holloway has been elected chairwoman of the Hartford Democratic Town Committee.
Holloway thought she had won the seat at the first vote March 11, but the election was disputed when temporary Chairman Ramon Arroyo cast a second vote for Holloway to break a 33-33 tie with Sean Arena. Arena was seeking a second two-year term as chairman.
The question of whether Arroyo could cast a second vote one as a committee member and one as temporary chairman to break the tie was appealed to a dispute resolution panel of the Democratic State Central Committee. That committee determined that the whole election should be done again.
The second vote was held Tuesday, with Holloway winning 33-32. The tiebreaker this time was state Rep. Hector Robles, who voted for Arena in March but abstained this time. He could not be reached Wednesday to explain his abstention.
Holloway said Wednesday that she wasn't surprised at the result and that she planned to do things differently from her predecessor. She spoke of getting the town committee back to working hard for candidates, as she was taught by committee veterans like Steve Harris and Lou Watkins, who was elected deputy chairman.
"They taught me that when you endorse a candidate, you campaign for that candidate all the way through the primary and the election," she said.
She said the results of a lack of campaigning could be seen in the most recent board of education election, in which the Democrats lost two seats to the Working Families Party.
Holloway said she also planned to make the town committee leadership more inclusive by listening to all viewpoints, including those of members who voted for Arena.

Millennials are often a topic of discussion in everything from jobs to cars to real estate. They are the generation who is changing the way we think about so many things. So, when it comes to selling your home to younger buyers, there's certain things you may want to consider to raise the appeal of your home. Here's what Millennials are looking for and what you can do to entice them in the home buying process:
Young People Want Something Move-In Ready
Millennials are young professionals who don't want to make the time for home improvement projects. These buyers are typically looking for something that's known as "turnkey" or move-in ready. Other groups of Millennials are more creative and see a vision in the home they buy, investing in the right property over time.
What Sellers Can Do:
The biggest thing you as a seller can do is be sure that the home displays all of its potential in each area. Even if your home isn't move-in ready be sure that potential buyers understand what needs improving.
Updated Kitchens And Baths Are A Must… Maybe
Most home buyers desire a home with brand new kitchen and bath fixtures. Younger buyers have limited budgets and updates to both the kitchen and the bathroom are among the most expensive renovations to complete. On the seller's side of things, however, these updates may not be within the budget either. It may not add enough value to the home in order to make updates worth it. Also, even with updates, the style of a kitchen or bathroom may not gel with the desired style of the buyer.
What Sellers Can Do:
Update the big things in the kitchen and bathroom where needed. The purple tile in the bathroom may appear ugly to you, but a buyer could find some great potential in it. Just be sure the kitchen and bath appear clean and have the basics such as storage areas in them.
Big Open Kitchen
The younger crowd likes bigger kitchens for entertaining and cooking elaborate meals. Millennials also like a lot of storage to keep things organized, simple and neat. They are the generation known to be "minimalists," and their preferred style holds true to this.
What Sellers Can Do:
Sellers should at the minimum be sure that there is adequate storage available in the kitchen. When staging the home, take any unnecessary furniture pieces out, so that they don't deter from the size the kitchen appears.
Staging Your Home
Overall, one of the most important things that sellers can do to appeal to young buyers is to stage the home well. While it's often up to the buyer to create their own vision, having the home staged helps to ignite the creativity in the mind of the buyer. By using some of the above tips, you can help to make your home appeal to a younger demographic who are looking for very specific things in a home. Even if you don't think your home can meet these expectations, you'll be surprised what a little creativity can do!

Greetings! I'm joining 26 other bloggers this week sharing My Home Style: Christmas Tree Edition. Our lovely hostess is my talented friend Stephanie from Casa Watkins Living. If you are coming from Southern State of Mind, a special hello!! Up to Date Interiors is an interior decorating blog featuring renter friendly DIYs, decorating tips, and the Love Your Space challenge (which is now in book form!).
My before picture is from a short two weeks ago. If you are new here, we are a USMC family stationed abroad in Japan. We just moved into a traditional Japanese rental on mainland from Okinawa.
It's such a little house that it only took a couple of days to unpack and a weekend to get everything set up. (If you are curious about my decorating process, sign up for my free 5 day email decorating course!) We are downsizing a bit so I decided to downsize our tree too. This year we are only using the top 2 thirds of our seven foot tree which you can see in last year's My Home Style: Christmas Tree Edition.
I incorporated some of my DIY ornaments and added in a growing collection of oriental fans.
Some of them were purchased at the local "dollar" store and a couple of them were gifts. Instead of using garland, I filled in the gaps with flowers and pine tree sprigs I had on hand.
I found a darling wood rocking horse at an antique store in NC for $5 a few years back. He's saving a spot for presents under the tree.
I hope you enjoyed our tree! If you want to recreate the look I found resources for some of the key pieces (if it's not exact, it's similar).

For those of you that follow the Glitter Unique Facebook page, this is not news but since I didn't until yesterday, when I want to know what's new, I go directly to the Glitter Unique website and what did I find recently added to the already amazing inventory? Fantasy Series Effect Flakes and I can't wait to get my hands on some!
There are four flakes listed now- Rainbow, Blue, Pink and Green, all priced the same. A 1 teaspoon sample is $3.00, the 1/2 oz. is $9.50 and the 1 oz. is $17.
The description included on all for has this to say:
Fantasy Effect Flakes distinguish themselves by their extraordinary sparkling effects and glamorous look. Their performance is outstanding in respect to high transparency, maximum sparkle, color purity, exceptional clarity and outstanding luster.
Unlike our other glass flakes which have a frosty/shimmer look to them due to the wide range of particle sizes ranging from a powder to a visible 'flake', the Fantasy Effect Flakes have a particle range form 450-670 microns, creating clean, clear iridescent flakes.
I've never used these flakes but I've got a few of the other effect flakes including the Rainbow Pearl Flakes which are beautiful in color but diminished by their size and I can imagine the larger size of the Fantasy Series lets that color shine through.
Solar Color Dust, the store I purchased my last set of chameleon pigments from, is having a sale, as much as 50% off on selected items. A lot of already affordable glitters are marked down. For the record, not all of the chameleons are included.

Why should that be such a big deal
well, it just is. For me anyway
I have really been pulling myself together as of late
has it been easy....HELL NO
(to put it bluntly)
But I have had some shifts in life and I think it will open new doors
for me
Time to live a guilt free me
so.................if you are on this road with me, it will be bumpy
I am NOT so optimistic to think it won't be hard
but I am more positive
so What about Turkmas
IT WAS GREAT, and the balm my soul needed
Years ago, well 2006 actually
my son Matthew who was hosting thanksgiving
bought a table cloth that we each signed
It is so fun to see what everyone wrote over the years
as it turned out, this is a precious memory
It has turned out to be a great, treasured family tradition.
I was so lucky, as this November in Utah was WARM
and I was loving every minute of it...not coats, hardly a sweater
We got a few pictures of course, well who am I kidding
we got LOTS of pictures
here is me with 3 of my 5 kids
One son not able to make the trip from Reno
and one in heaven
It seems to be getting harder and harder to get a photo
with all of us together
and...GOOD NEWS ....the son in Reno...he and his wife are expecting
their 3rd baby
in July
Merry Christmas TO ME !!!
Here is a grandaughter who always speaks up for the
Turkey leg
(funny, but she used to always call a drumstick, chicken on a leg)
I helped another son put up their Christmas Lights on the house
Well, Actually, I just supervised.
I don't climb up onto roofs
I left that up to my DIL and grandson
even my son doesn't climb up anymore
since his last Clark Griswald incident
After a wonderful ten days with my family
I got off the plane to COLD...brrrrr
this is what my yard looked like
I have my very own "flocked trees"
And that's when I dig deep and say
attitude wendy, attitude
(I told you it wasn't going to be easy)
my porch
Holy Christmas Tinsel and Frozen Jingle Bells
or reindeer balls
But all is well
I got the tree up
Matthews stocking is hung on the banister with care
I made this for him when he was only 3, and his wife gave it to me
I was so happy he had hung on to it
So soon, before we know it
Christmas day will be here
so much going on for all of us I am SURE
and If I could send you all a hug
and a Christmas card
'cause they are just tooooo cool

For longtime fans disappointed with the direction the series has taken in 3-D, they still have handhelds to provide the experience they're looking for in Sonic titles. On the DS that's Sonic Rush, a near return to form for Sega's mascot, and no, it's still not any easier to play as the character on a Nintendo system. The speed, boss battles, and multi-player have a hard time making up for the level design though.
The problem with all of the 2-D Sonic titles has always been the difficulty level. Anyone over the age of five could run through each stage with little resistance. Each new entry was easily beaten in an afternoon. There's no chance to do the same thing with Rush.
It's not because of the health system. It still only requires a single ring to withstand contact with an enemy, and those gold pieces are littered everywhere. It's not the enemies. The new trick system (a combination of the d-pad and a face button when in the air) lets Sonic combat those in his paths by charging forward with an unstoppable blast.
It's not the use of the second screen for gameplay. This well-implemented feature adds to the sense of speed and height, while benefiting the game tremendously. It's not the 3-D boss battles, which will only take one or two deaths to figure out. A few shots to their special weak point (which they of course reveal in an obvious manner) and it's over.
What it is are pits. Numerous, countless, poorly mapped out chasms that kill the Hedgehog instantly. This is a problem that plagues most of the game. In other titles in the series, you had a general idea of what was a bottomless crater and what was a fall to an off-screen platform. That's not the case here. Ramps send players flying into the death inducing traps, and you won't even realize you're seconds from losing a life because it looks like an extension to the level or a new area to explore.
There's also a focus on tight platform jumping. This is not generous in the least, and Sonic's jump has never been the most accurate. Obviously, missing a single leap is a death warrant into another bottomless "badly placed pit of doom."
Multi-player takes its concept from Sonic 3 on the Genesis, letting players race against each other wirelessly and only with a single cart (on levels already beaten). It only uses the top screen oddly enough. The bottom one displays a map so you can check your opponent's position. If you've been involved in the single player game, it's a jarring switch. It doesn't feel right without an extra screen anymore if you've become accustomed to it.
This really is a disappointment all around. If it weren't for the level design, which is wonderful at capturing the Sonic aesthetic, this would be an excellent extension of the Game Boy Advance games in the series. Those deep falls don't help a series that's set on letting players explore gigantic levels multiple times. You can expect to be frustrated long before you appreciate the dual screen and multi-player bonuses.

SEC files charges against hedge fund founder Cohen
WASHINGTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday filed civil charges against Steven A. Cohen, accusing the billionaire hedge-fund manager of failing to prevent insider trading at the fund he founded.
Cohen founded and runs SAC Capital Advisors. The government has called the SAC Capital Advisors case one of the biggest insider-trading fraud cases in history.
The SEC said Cohen failed to supervise two senior employees of SAC Capital and prevent them from illegal insider trading. As a result of illegal trades by Cohen's hedge funds, the funds reaped profits and avoided losses of more than $275 million, the SEC said.
The SEC is seeking unspecified fines against Cohen. The case will be heard by an administrative law judge at the SEC.
A spokesman for SAC Capital said the allegations have "no merit" and Cohen "will fight this charge vigorously."
"Steve Cohen acted appropriately at all times," spokesman Jonathan Gasthalter said in a statement.
