Women's Pro Basketball coverage that's out of this world
WNBA 2014 In-Depth Previews: New York Liberty
May15 by richardbcohen
Cappie Pondexter/Anna Cruz
Essence Carson/Chucky Jeffery/Sugar Rodgers
Alex Montgomery/Toni Young
Plenette Pierson/DeLisha Milton-Jones
Tina Charles/Kara Braxton
plus the injured Kamiko Williams, who they can't replace because she tore her ACL in training camp and therefore has to be paid her salary for this season – and they don't have the remaining cap space to sign someone else if they cut her.
Significant additions: Charles, Carson back from injury, black uniforms
Significant losses: Kelsey Bone, Leilani Mitchell
There are lots of positives for the New York Liberty heading into this season. They got their second superstar when Tina Charles decided she'd had enough of Connecticut and wanted to come home. Essence Carson is back after blowing out her ACL four games into last season. They're back in Madison Square Garden after three years exiled to New Jersey due to renovations. They're reverting to the black road uniforms that no one ever wanted them to get rid of in the first place. Cappie Pondexter and Bill Laimbeer have had a full year to get to know each other and find a fit for this team that should work. So why does it still feel like this team has a lot more questions than answers circling around it going into 2014?
A central part of the problem is just what else is there besides the stars. Yes, Carson is back to help Pondexter out in the backcourt, take on some of the scoring load, and generally give them better options on the perimeter than they had last year. But we don't know quite what she'll produce coming off a serious knee injury, or if her body will hold up for 34 games. Talking of bodies holding up, that's a question mark elsewhere as well. Plenette Pierson, a very good forward in this league for a lot of years, struggled through much of last season with a variety of injuries. Then she suffered another knee injury late in her season overseas that her European team called an ACL tear. Laimbeer has said it wasn't as serious as initially reported, and apparently she's been running in camp, but no one is remotely sure what she'll be able to produce this season. Her body already seemed to be breaking down last year, so adding one more major issue on top is not good news for an important player for the Liberty.
That leaves lots of kids, unknowns and role players trying to fill holes on the Liberty roster. DeLisha Milton-Jones has an awful lot of miles on her clock, and looked just about done last year in stints with San Antonio and then New York. She'll be playing significant minutes if Pierson isn't ready. Kara Braxton will be her usual enigmatic self, showing flashes of real talent one moment, before Bad Kara emerges and does three things that make you want to throw something at her. Toni Young showed off her athleticism last season as a rookie, but not a lot else, and she's still a combo-forward who hasn't proven she can play either spot effectively until we see otherwise. Alex Montgomery is a hard-working, decent wing who might be starting at small forward due to the lack of alternatives.
The other perimeter backups are Anna Cruz, a Spanish combo-guard making her first foray into WNBA basketball. She has played some point guard, and she might be Pondexter's backup on this roster, but this is by no means Celine Dumerc that they've added. Cruz is decent, but that's about it, and the history of Euros translating their 'decent' play over to the WNBA isn't great. Chucky Jeffery is back as well, and might be the alternative backup ballhandler if Cruz doesn't work out. We didn't see much of her last year in Minnesota or New York, so Liberty fans can only hope that she's developed. Sugar Rodgers was also acquired from Minnesota – who otherwise likely would've cut her – and will happily come off the bench and start firing away. This bench is a lot of different random pieces with the hope that a couple step up and produce.
But back to the stars. Charles is a star center in the women's game, no question. But after the way she played last year, there are at least a few lingering questions that she needs to answer. She shot 40% from the field, which is atrocious for a center, especially one who's meant to dominate. Anne Donovan's system and coaching didn't help at all, but neither did Charles's willingness to just keep firing away from outside, rather than working down low and fighting for higher-percentage looks. Chances are, most of that is going to be fixed by Charles caring more about the results, and Laimbeer doing a better job with her than Donovan. But the shooters around her are nearly as poor as they were in Connecticut last year, so defenses will collapse on her a lot in the post once again. Her response can't be to simply drift further out and avoid the conflict.
Pondexter is probably a bigger concern. She did not produce well last season, shooting a career-low 36% from the field. Some of that was adapting to the 'lead guard' role Laimbeer asked her to play – which he'll be asking her to do again this season – and some of it was the lack of help from her teammates to keep defensive pressure away from her. But some of it might just be basic deterioration in her own play. Her percentages have been awful in Europe for the last two years as well, on a team packed with stars that typically dominates most of its opponents. And she was playing plenty of that 'lead guard' role for Fenerbahce as well. The combo of Charles and Pondexter sounds great in theory – a star big and a star guard, playing off each other and attacking defenses from both sides – but only if Cappie can be something like the Cappie of old. The last year or two, Cappie's been starting to look like she's just getting old.
So this could be a good team this year. They're in the weaker conference, they've added a star center who should make everything easier for everyone, Laimbeer's had a year to work out what changed in the WNBA in his absence, and Carson – a fringe all-star calibre talent before her injury – is back in the fold. But there are so many issues still swirling around them. Can the stars be as good as they once were? Can anyone stay healthy? Can any of the role players hit a shot? If everything works out, Liberty fans will have a great year back in the Garden; if it doesn't, this time next year Laimbeer might be out of a job.

In the club statement on the West Stand safety gate the composition of the Safety Advisory Group was mentioned. It appears from that statement that there is no fans representation on that group which i feel is an issue that should be addressed. Match going fans are the people who use the facilities not those groups mentioned, therefore I think it appropriate that their opinions be taken into account. Can the club address this issue ?
The "make up" of this meeting is determined by Shropshire Council of which STFC is a member - STFC do not chair it- I will however raise it as a point at the next meeting .
Q - Hi Got a slight moan regarding the toilets in the south stand. There is only one hand drier available to everyone washing their hands. Is it possible the club could put another couple in. There is plenty of room to the left of the sinks for at least 2.
We had a similar issue with the west stand - which we installed extra into last season.
I will look into installing extra into the South.

Sunday Afternoon With The Yankees
by Karen Posted on July 25, 2011
Christmas came early this year. On Sunday morning, at 10:30, my neighbor called and asked if I'd like to have two free tickets to the Yankee game. Wow! How often do you get a phone call like that?
This was my first visit to the new stadium. Though I follow the team pretty faithfully, it's usually on radio while I'm working in the evening. I hadn't been to the stadium since 1993 or so.
My first few moments in the new stadium were a bit of a shock. The place has a completely different ambiance. The guy with the cowbell in the bleachers is gone. Robert Merrill is gone. The cheesey sound on the organ is gone. I started to feel as if I was in an arena rock concert with a ball game on stage instead of a band. Worst of all, there was something about it that just felt unfaithful to the legacy of the Yankees as I'd experienced it. It was all so slick and flashy.
But before I could lapse into my "things were better in my day" frame of mind, I realized that the creation of this new stadium was probably inevitable. We're living in a different era.
At first I felt bombarded by all the video signs. But as the game progressed, I came to feel that they were put to really good use. I got a kick out of the games that were played on the screen between innings. I felt that they did a great job of displaying stats, so I didn't even need to use the little AM radio that I'd brought out of habit — always a must for me in the old days.
Being at the stadium showed me that when you watch a game on TV you miss a lot of the defensive feats on the field. When you watch TV, you see the ball coming toward the fielder and he either catches it or he doesn't. But what you miss is seeing the degree of difficulty involved in following the ball and catching it from all different angles, especially in the outfield. One of the most thrilling moments of the game came during a relay to the infield when Russell Martin leapt to catch the ball and tag out a runner at home plate. It's so much more exciting when you see all the fielders on the team go into action together.
The one thing that made me kind of sad was to see that the stadium was about a third empty. The crowd where I was sitting on the Main Level at Right Field seemed extremely upscale and much more reserved than the rowdy fans whom I'd loved sitting with in the old days. Then again, I realized that the family sitting in front of me had shelled out close to $400 for tickets, another $100 for beer, sodas and snacks, God only knows what for parking, and then they were talking about where they were all going to go out for dinner. I guess that the city is full of people who don't think twice about dropping $500+ to entertain the family on a Sunday afternoon. But I felt very aware of the absence of those who aren't in that bracket, and I missed them and wished that they were there.
But I've also got to admit that now that I've made my first visit to the new stadium, I can't wait to go back.
I've been smitten with Nick Swisher (pictured above) ever since he came over to the Yankees. So it was especially great to see him playing. How did my neighbor know to get tickets in Right Field?
As you can see, I sat behind a woman with big hair. But that's Bartolo Colon pitching to the Oakland A's. The fans showed a lot of love to Hideki Matsui (who I think went 5 for 5!).

In today's fast-paced world businesses are juggling competing priorities. You need to bring your product(s) to market, manage growth, control costs, remain nimble, drive innovation and oh, yeah, keep tabs on what the competition is doing. Most leaders today do simply that, they read what news they can or follow a news feed and catch up on a competitor when necessary.
If you're fortunate to have a large enough organization to support a full-time competitive intelligence group, congratulations! If you're not in for Fortune 1,000, what do you do?
Coverage – do they offer the kind of coverage in the markets you're interested in?
Price – does the price make sense?
Well-known names in the industry cover hundreds of players in a given space and sometimes end up burying you in so much data it almost becomes unactionable. Our approach is different. We generate segment reports quarterly covering companies who we feel are representative of the top 10% of the market in terms of market share and/or growth trend. Each quarter our team of analysts discuss the covered entities list and promote or demote companies based on quantitative and qualitative metrics.
While quarterly updates on what's going on are helpful, we go a step further. Interesting Blazer has developed the IB Innovation (qualitative) and IB Performance (quantitative) scores. IB Innovation is expressed on a five-point scale with five being best. It represents the collective impression of our research team on how innovative and/or disruptive an organization is. The IB Performance score is expressed as a positive or negative number with no artificial limit. The higher the number, the better the organization is doing and likewise, a negative number indicates there might be cause for concern. IB Performance combines financial data, social sentiment data and more which allows us to force rank public and private, large and small companies on a single continuum.
You're probably asking yourself, how much does all this cost? Well, we think competitive intelligence is the cornerstone of good strategic decision-making so we do all of this for a reasonable annual subscription.
What's included for how much?
Each year, we publish quarterly segment updates and ten company profiles of your choosing for that segment. Companies can be selected from the list we feel are most representative of the best in a given market and/or specified by you.
I'm ready – how do I sign up?
If you'd like to sign up, or even if you just want to know more, please contact us today!

Kearny Point Industrial Park is a 2 million-square-foot renovation project dating almost a century to its origins as a wartime shipyard. From 1917 to 1949 the property operated as the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Company. Federal was the Navy's preferred yard during World War II, employing 30,000 people and building ships faster than any yard in the world. After the war Federal began recycling those obsolete ships, and over the next 50 years River Terminal developed millions of square feet of industrial warehousing, distribution and office space. Hugo Neu has since worked to restore and repurpose the site as a business neighborhood. The company expects to create and save at least 5,000 jobs in New Jersey.

The recent PRC purchase of 75 - 81 Ellison Street has been completed. The City has plans to develop the existing studio and enhance training with programs from both the City's Library and Public Schools. 75-81 Ellison Street currently houses the existing tenants: Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center, Staff Right Solutions, LLC, New Destiny family Success Center and the City of Paterson. The City has plans to develop the existing studio and enhance training with programs from the City's Library and the Public Schools.
PRC, Paterson Library, Passaic County Community College (PCCC) and the Paterson Board of Education (BOE) will form a partnership to continue to house public access cable television studio, provide opportunities for interships and offer a digital library for Paterson residents.
BOE entered into an MOU with the City for Extended Learning Opportunity School which recruits students who dropped out of high school within the lat five years and encourages them to re-enroll in an online program to obtain their diploma. The space is used for insturtional assistance and mentoring.
PCCC will be using the spae for internships and communications students in order to obtain experience in television production.
Also, in partnership with the Pateson Public Library, the space will be connected through PALS plus to offer full access to online and digital resources "Digital Library."
Moreover, the Library is planning to offer intensive, four day a week classes for ESL here.
In June of this year, the Rutgers Food Innovation Center (FIC) completed a feasibility study to assesses global best practices in business incubation and to determine the business model that will best maximize economic impacts and sustain such an incubation facility in the City of Paterson. In addition, the FIC staff redesigned the entire layout of the current facility and identified specifications for all necessary equipment.
The proposed naming for the incubator as the "Paterson Food Hub" reflects the ongoing plans for developing a clustering strategy for the City of Paterson. This strategy creates concentrations of interconnected companies, suppliers, service providers and associated institutions. The new "Paterson Food Hub" will facilitate a regional food industry cluster, through a network of resources, operating as a tool for regional economic growth, sustainability, access to capital and most importantly, job creation. The Paterson Food Hub is expected to be partially operational by February 2017.
A new press release will soon be issued with further updates on this exciting project. Please contact Cristina Deutsch for further information at 973 - 321 - 1220 or cdeutsch@patersonnj.gov.


Amongst probably the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a swap. While utilizing switches in the home is kind of effortless, wiring one particular may well not be that simple for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will discover various kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say that you are installing a single-pole toggle switch, a really frequent switch (and also the easiest).
There are actually 3 hues of wires inside a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and connect them to the terminal screws - just one on prime and the other to the base screw of your swap. The white wire serves as a resource of uninterrupted electrical power and it is normally connected to your light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire on the ground screw of the change.
These actions would commonly be enough to help make a normal switch do the job without having a difficulty. However, in the event you are certainly not self-confident which you can carry out the endeavor properly and safely you far better permit the pros get it done rather. After all, there is a rationale why this process has become the most commonly encountered electrical wiring inquiries requested by a lot of people.
For many motive, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is also one among probably the most popular electrical wiring questions. To simplify this task, you should use one change for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it's only a make any difference of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan into the black wire of the change. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire need to be connected for the black wire of the switch likewise.
There are actually factors why these are the most normally questioned electrical wiring concerns. A person, numerous assume it is basic to complete, and two, these are generally the frequent electrical jobs at your home. But then you really must not place your safety in danger within your intention to save money. The stakes could even be substantially increased should you try to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring occupation devoid of ample information or encounter.


They say home is where the story begins. But the real question is, do you want to begin your family's story in your own home or someone else's home? Living in rented apartments and homes can be a convenient option, but would you really want to live in a house wherein you have absolutely no security?Do you want to live with the constant fear of being asked to move out and having to find a new apartment or house? Wouldn't it be better to have no tensions, as you live your life in peace without the constant worry of being asked to move at a moment's notice?
planning. You need to plan your finances and then wait until you find the perfect home of your dreams.
A home is also a reflection of one's aspirations in life and achievements. It spells status in the loudest manner. A person can flaunt the best clothes and drive the fastest cars, but it is his or her home that speaks most about the person and his or her status in society.
A home is a reflection of your personality, your likes, your choices and your passions. In certain ways, it speaks of the success you have achieved in your life. In these modern times, it is a triumph to own your own house!
You don't need to win a lottery or inherit a fund to be able to own your own home. Even with your current salary, you can manage to buy a home. All you need to do is apply for a home loan and get it approved. But getting a home loan approval is not a piece of cake. You can't just walk into a bank and ask for a loan. You need to be fully prepared before you even think of entering the bank.
Before approaching a bank, make sure you have all the documents you think may be needed. You can check online for the documents your bank would require. This would usually include your credit history and details of any other loans that you have taken. If you keep the said documents ready, you can save yourself the trouble of multiple visits to the bank.
Alternatively, you can approach financial institutions that specialize in housing loans. You can compare the rate of interest offered by the banks and the financial institutions and select the option that offers you the best deal.
even put you through to the companies that are selling these properties. So think wisely and do your research before you actually go ahead and take the plunge.

With so many variations on what constitutes higher education as well as family, it's no wonder there are so many definitions. And that matters.

There's no magic formula for getting into a selective college, but here are some lessons from a longtime observer to help you navigate the process.

The JNCIA practice exam provided by Junos Workbook is designed to test your knowledge relating to Juniper JNCIA level technologies. It is not recommended that you use this exam to gauge your readiness for the actual Juniper JNCIA Exam.
The majority of the questions found in this practice exam were created from the content found in the Junos Workbook however this practice exam will test you on the full JNCIA Exam blueprint and not the just what is found in the workbooks published by Junos Workbook. Questions from the blueprint exam may include but are not limited to; subnetting, OSI Reference Model, Network basics and theory.
Please note that NONE of the questions in this JNCIA practice exam were taken from the actual JNCIA certification exam. Please remember that Juniper Networks holds discretion over exam results and brain dumping is considered cheating. Brain dumping is the process in which an exam candidate memorized all the REAL questions and answers for the exam before taking the exam to ensure that they pass. If you are flagged as a potential dumper you could risk losing ALL of your Juniper Certifications and be banned from the Juniper Networks Certifications Program permanently.
Time management is important, you get 90 minutes to answer approximately 70 questions. With that in mind, on average you can only spend one minute and thirty seconds on each question.
When taking the exam you will receive a dry erase board with a marker and eraser. Take the time you get to read the exam policy to write out binary information to help you answer binary and sub-netting questions.
Juniper Exams allow you to go back to previous questions on the exam even after answer has been submitted. Some questions may help you answer other questions however this is extremely time consuming.
Keep in mind the exam results provided to you are considered "Provisional Results" which means even though may have passed the exam, Juniper still has the right to invalidate the exam if Juniper is unable to certify that the exam results demonstrate a valid measure of your abilities sampled by the exam.
This JNCIA practice exam will display a single question at a time and will not display your results until completed. Once you click next you cannot go back and you cannot use the back button on the browser to skip back to the previous question; doing so will result in loss of progress and you will have to start over again.

Taco of the Week: Carne Guisada at Two Amigos Taqueria
A Waxahachie institution serves a great version of the South Texas specialty.
José R. Ralat
https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/carne-guisada-two-amigos-taqueria/
Two Amigos Taqueria's carne guisada taco is a South Texas treat at a North Texas gem.
Photograph by José R. Ralat
I've heard South Texans declare that the presence of tomatoes in carne guisada is an abomination. I've heard other South Texans say tomatoes add a necessary sweetness and color to their home region's trademark beef stew. It's like arguing whether beans belong in chili. Recipes, and sentiments about the correct preparation, vary from family to family. Ultimately, if the dish tastes good, it really doesn't matter.
The family-recipe carne guisada served by Two Amigos Taqueria in Waxahachie doesn't include tomatoes, and it is stellar. Served in a house-made flour tortilla (corn tortillas can be substituted), the filling is all soft chunks of stewed beef enveloped in a luscious, umber-colored gravy. The taco's richness, which coats the inside of the mouth, gives way to tinges of sweetness. It's as good as any I've had in the stew's borderlands home.
"The carne guisada is really popular with customers from South Texas," says Rogelio Aguilar Jr., who along with his parents, Rogelio and Diana Aguilar, took ownership of Two Amigos Taqueria, in operation since the nineties, in 2002. According to the younger Rogelio, his family's restaurant is the only eating establishment in Ellis County (of which Waxahachie is the county seat) that offers carne guisada. The South Texas specialty can be somewhat tricky to find the farther one travels from the Texas-Mexico border. The Aguilars brought the dish with them when they relocated from San Antonio. "People just really like it. The dish is also one of our best-sellers," Rogelio Jr. says.
His family has transformed the restaurant into a Waxahachie institution, but they faced some tough times at the start. "There were days we wouldn't make even a hundred bucks," Rogelio Jr. says. "I remember one day my dad didn't want to count the register. He was holding a rag he was cleaning with in one hand, and I remember him closing that register very quickly and throwing that rag down. Tears started coming out of his eyes."
That's not the Two Amigos I visited. The restaurant is a community gathering place, having gained such loyalty from locals that the Aguilars had to move the business in March 2018 from its original location to a new building (just one street over) that more than doubled the space. Sunlight shoots through the storefront windows and reflects off the colorful tiled tabletops and similarly decorated tile wall separating the kitchen from the remainder of the restaurant. During breakfast and lunch rushes, the dining room is packed. It's loud with laughter and conversation, servers refilling drinks and chips and salsa, and taking orders—many of them for the carne guisada.
There are other notable tacos on the menu. The weenies and eggs is plump with chopped hot dogs mixed in yellowish-white scrambled eggs. The bulky migas taco is salty and prickly with square, crispy chips and pico de gallo. But, for me, Two Amigos is all about the carne guisada. For Rogelio Jr., Two Amigos' success represents years of hard work paying off. His parents immigrated from a small town in northern Mexico about two hours south of Eagle Pass and lived in San Antonio before settling in North Texas. "I was about twelve when we bought the place," he says. "I'm 29 now, and if you would have told me even five years ago that I'd be sitting here doing what I'm doing in the position that I'm in, I wouldn't have believed you. It was different. I'm a firm believer in 'you can do anything you want in life.'"

As part of the 2018 edition of VivaTech, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the creation of Digital Africa, a programme for start-ups which aims to maintain the entrepreneurial momentum in Africa, support the emergence of entrepreneurs with social impact and encourage digital innovation through a label of the same name.
(TOP: French President Emmanuel Macron. Photo: Reuters).
EMERGING Valley will be held as a summit on African entrepreneurship and innovation, founded in 2017 by Samir Abdelkrim and co-produced by StartupBRICS and MCO Congrès.
The goal of this event is to radiate the Aix-Marseille region in Africa and in emerging countries as a new business and start-ups hub between Europe and Africa and to attract new businesses with high-growth potential. To support this trend, the French Development Agency (Agence française de développement, AFD), has come on board as the lead sponsor in the context of VivaTech, turning Aix-Marseille into the first region to host an event labelled "Digital Africa".
The introduction of the EMERGING Valley event to the VivaTech participants took place on May 24, 2018 at the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropole in presence of various public officials and of innovation players from the region like thecamp and Innov'In Med.
"The region and especially Aix-Marseille have all kinds of legitimacy – historical, geographical, cultural, human – to become the preferred African gateway to Europe, and vice versa. It's also the only French region claiming this position with Africa on the digital challenges, and it wants to assert itself as a magnet for the companies in the world willing to enter the African market from Marseille. Now, there is a real opportunity to emerge as a double gateway Europe-Africa, and Marseille can naturally claim it. EMERGING Valley is part of the ambition," stated Samir Abdelkrim, founder of EMERGING Valley and StartupBRICS.
About 50 international speakers drawn from about 20 countries will gather at Palais du Paro on November 19 and 20 and at the camp on November 21, 2018. The French Minister of the Digital Sector, Mounir Mahjoubi, has already confirmed his presence at EMERGING Valley.
More than 60 start-ups and African project holders will come as well to EMERGING Valley to be speeded up during the workshop Social Business & Inclusive Camp, the result of a partnership between EMERGING Valley and the French Development Agency in the context of the "Digital Africa" labelling.
The 2017 EMERGING Valley edition which was held on December 5 in Marseille and on December 6 at the Camp, attracted 20 African start-ups promoting technology applications with a real replicability potential in Europe and in the Mediterranean, with Intouch, Jumia, Karangue, Klab, MedTrucks, CDIC, Wutiko and participating.
During this first edition, incubators and innovators from the Aix-Marseille region presented their support services to African companies willing to develop their activities on the European continent, like thecamp, Marseille Innovation, PFactory, la Coque or even Le Carburateur.


"Carlisle swam to France, and continued on through Europe, to the universities there. da night he studied music, science, medicine - and found his calling, his penance, in that, in saving human lives." His expression became awed, almost reverent. "I can't adequately describe the struggle; it took Carlisle two centuries of torturous effort to perfect his self-control. Now he is all but immune to the scent of human blood, and he is able to do the work he loves without agony. He finds a great deal of peace there, st the hospital...." Edward stared off into spazio for a long moment. Suddenly he seemed to recall his purpose. He tapped his fingers against the huge painting in front of us.
"He was studying in Italy when he discovered the others there. They were much più civilized and educated than the wraiths of the Londra sewers."
"Solimena was greatly inspired da Carlisle's friends. He often painted them as gods," Edward chuckled. "Aro, Marcus, Caius," he said, indicating the other three, two black-haired, one snowy-white. "Nighttime patrons of the arts."
"They're still there." He shrugged. "As they have been for who knows how many millenia. Carlisle stayed with them only for a short time, just a few decades. He greatly admired their civility, their refinement, but they persisted in trying to cure his aversion to 'his natural Cibo source,' as they called it. They tried to persuade him, and he tried to persuade them, to no avail. At that point, Carlisle decided to try a New World. He dreamed of finding others like himself. He was very lonely, te see.
His voice, nearly a whisper now, trailed off. He stared unseeingly through the west windows. I wondered which immagini filled his mind now, Carlisle's memories o his own. I waited quietly.
"Have te always stayed with Carlisle, then?" I wondered.
"Almost always." He put his hand lightly on my waist and pulled me with him as he walked through the door. I stared back at the bacheca of pictures, wondering if I would ever get to hear the other stories.
Edward didn't say any più as we walked down the hall, so I asked, "Almost?"
He sighed, seeming reluctant to answer. "Well, I had a typical bout of rebellious adolescence - about ten years after I was... born... created, whatever te want to call it. I wasn't sold on his life of abstinence, and I resented him for curbing my appetite. So I went off on my own for a time."
He could tell. I vaguely realized that we were headed up the successivo flight of stairs, but I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings.
He barked a laugh, più loudly than before. We were at the superiore, in alto of the stairs now, in another paneled hallway.
I shivered, imagining only too clearly what he described - they alley at night, the frightened girl, the dark man behind her. And Edward, Edward as he hunted, terrible and glorious as a young god, unstoppable. Would she have been grateful, that girl, o più frightened then before?
"But as time went on, I began to see the monster in my eyes. I couldn't escape the debt of so much human life taken, no matter how justified. And I went back to Carlisle and Esme. They welcomed me back like the prodigal. It was più than I deserved."
The western bacheca was completely covered with shelf after shelf of CDs. His room was better stocked than a Musica store. In the corner was a sophisticated-looking sound system, the kind I was afraid to touch because I'd be sure to break something. There was no bed, only a wide and inviting black leather sofa. The floor was covered with a thick golden carpet, and the walls were hung with heavy fabric in a slightly darker shade.
He picked up a remote and turned the stereo on. It was quiet, but the soft jazz number sounded like a band was in the room with us. I went to look at his mind-boggling Musica collection.
"How do te have these originated?" I asked, unable to find any rhyme o reason to the titles.
"Ummm, da year, and then personal preference within that frame," he detto absently.
"I was prepared to feel... relieved. Having te know about everything, not needing to keep secrets from you. But I didn't expect to feel più than that. I like it. It makes me... happy." He shrugged, smiling slightly.
"I hate to burst your bubble, but you're really not as scary as te think te are. I don't find te scary at all, actually," I lied casually.
"You really shouldn't have detto that," he chuckled.
He wasn't having that. He curled me into a ball against his chest, holding me più securely than iron chains. I glared at him in alarm, but he seemed well in control, his jaw relaxed as he grinned, his eyes bright only with humor.
"That te are a very, very terrifying monster," I said, my sarcasm marred a bit da my breathless voice.
I struggled to free myself, but Edward merely readjusted me so that I was somewhat più conventionally seated on his lap. I could see it was Alice, then, and Jasper behind her in the doorway. My cheeks burned, but Edward seemed at ease.
"It sounded like te were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if te would share," Alice announced.
I stiffened for an instant, until I realized Edward was grinning - whether at her commento o my response, I couldn't tell.
"Actually," Jasper said, smiling despite himself as he walked into the room, "Alice says there's going to be a real storm tonight, and Emmett wants to play ball. Are te game?"
The words were all common enough, but the context confused me. I gathered that Alice was a bit più reliable than the weatherman, though.
"Of course te should bring Bella," Alice shirped. I thought I saw Jasper throw a quick glance at her.
"Do te want to go?" Edward asked me, exctied, his expression vivid.
"Like te don't know," Jasper teased, and they were swiftly on their way. Jasper managed to inconspicuously close the door behind them.
"It's the American passtime," he detto with a mock solemnity.

The weekend is hard period when it comes to eating healthy and simply being healthy. It started off pretty good but I found myself getting super sick. I slept 5 hours on the middle of the day on Sunday. Yuck. I hate sleeping the day away. But it did help me feel better. I didn't work out at all as I had planned. Fail.
With family in town and a holiday tomorrow there are excessive amounts of yummy, unhealthy food.
When I really break down what I ate it wasn't too bad really. Saturday I had a bagel with cream cheese, a burrito (300 cal) and a turkey sandwich. Not bad. On Sunday I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast #unhealthy. Spaghetti was for dinner, but I just ate salad and some bread. Not great but not bad.
Monday was pretty good, bagel for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and pizza for dinner. Dinner was a total, I'm desperately craving this so I don't give a crap, I am going to make it. And I'm still not feeling good. Boo. But I did run. Dave has been reading this military hand book and it talks about what times you need to be running in order to pass a military fitness class. According to my time yesterday to meet their 2 mile running time I need to shave off 6 minutes. Not as bad I thought I would be.
Here's to Day 2 of Week 2.

Re-Purpose an old lamp shade into a mobile and add some heart felt charm and serenity to your garden.
All you need is an old lamp shade (you only need the frame), aluminium tape, card stock, fishing gut and scissors.
Cover the card stock on both sides with the aluminium tape. I love using self-adhesive aluminium tape, it's much cheaper than pewter and it sticks like crazy. One roll goes a loooooooong way and it's waterproof. If you have a Cuttlebug you can add some texture and patterns for a little extra oomph.
Using scissors cut out lots of hearts from the card stock. They can be any size or shape and the amount you need will depend on how big your lamp shade is. I cut out 80 ranging in size from teeny little 4 cm long hearts to bigger ones that are about 10 cm long.
Make a small hole at the top and bottom of each heart and string the hearts together using the fishing gut. Leave a 20 cm piece of gut to tie the strings to the lamp shape.
Add as many strings as you like until you're happy and then hang the mobile under a shade tree or outside your bedroom window and watch the hearts dance gently in the wind.
Is there any other way to make a design pattern on the tape? Does the wind tangle the hearts all up?
If you have a CUTTLEBUG or a Big Shot embossing machine, some embossing folders (There are many shown online at Joann, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. ) I personally like the Bog Shot because you can emboss heavier items, this heart mobile is a cool idea.
What are you referring to card stock?
Hi Ruthie, Yes, thick cardboard so the hearts can keep their shape.

"Partisan but inconclusive" reflections
Washington Post weighs in on WOLA drug claims
Several weeks ago, a story from AP found found Justice Department and GAO findings contrasted with the claims by drug czar John Walters of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) that the "unprecedented" recent spike in cocaine prices was evidence that US drug policy was working.
Now, Michael Dobbs, who writes "The Fact Checker" blog at the Washington Post website, has weighed in, spurred on by WOLA's recent press release challenging Walters' triumphant rhetoric. While Dobbs ended up saying the verdict on the facts is pending (and asking readers to provide other views), he finds that there is great skepticism on both sides of the aisle in Congress over ONDCP's methodology.
Dobbs also publishes a graph from a RAND report commissioned by the ONDCP, which finds a long-term decline in cocaine prices:
Dobb comments:
The most striking point in this graph is the long-term downward trend in retail cocaine prices, despite all the efforts at interdiction undertaken by successive U.S. administrations. By eyeballing the chart, you can see that there were significant price spikes in 1982, 1990, 1994, and 2000, which are
comparable to the recent increase. Each spike was followed by another sharp decline, as producers responded to the higher prices. Compared to historical levels, cocaine prices are still very low, particularly if you factor in inflation.
The RAND data is not strictly comparable to the latest DEA data as it measures the retail slice of the market, rather than average purchase prices. (RAND data for other slices of the market show similar peaks and troughs.) But it certainly suggests that policy-makers should be more cautious in using terms
like "unprecedented."
... One of the principal authors of the RAND study, Peter Reuter, a professor of public policy at the University of Maryland, said he was troubled by the way the DEA and ONDCP (the drug czar's office) kept changing its statistical methodology. "I don't understand why they don't run the series the same way (as RAND), just to remove any doubts that the data is solid. It would be much more convincing if they did that."
The ONDCP has its own blog, Pushing Back: Making the Drug Problem Smaller, which a week ago offered a rebuttal of WOLA's critique. However, ONDCP was obviously looking for a more definitive pat on the back from Dobbs than what they received, when they wrote:
On a more optimistic note, WOLA apparently sent their press release claim to the Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs, who runs a "Fact Checker" feature for the paper. At Dobbs' request, we have provided the full data story correcting
the record about WOLA's claims, showing why their assertions are off the mark. We look forward to a fair accounting of the situation.

This week I finished 2 projects – my glazed polymer clay heart and pearl necklace and my first knitted pair of socks.
I sculpted a heart out of white Premo and after baking, carved some words onto the front and embellished with thin, extruded polymer clay snakes. Using acrylic medium and mica powder, I created a glaze and applied at least 4 layers to the heart, letting dry overnight in between applications. Using 20 gauge antiqued copper wire, I created the metal components of the necklace. The faceted lavender pearls are knotted on hand dyed silk cord. As I carefully put this necklace together, I thought about my dreams, especially the one about buying my own house.
My second sock knit up more smoothly as I knew what I was doing the second time around. I now understood about not knitting the whole round with the "waste" yarn and adjusted the instructions accordingly. Since I used bigger knitting needles – US 10 – and very thin yarn, the pattern came out lacy looking. They'll be perfect to wear in the warmer months ahead.
Today I worked on a free-form peyote bracelet, a custom order in a fall color palette. It felt so good to get back to placing the tiny beads on my needle once again, if only for a little while. I find my shoulders hunching up with tension very quickly while I bead so I need to be very careful with that.
Today was my last official Studio Wednesday. I felt sad but am excited to begin the next phase of my life. A new adventure. A new house. All my own.
Today brought a warm breeze and 65 degree temperatures to tease us out of the winter doldrums. I definitely have spring in my thoughts as I create my glazed polymer clay pieces.
I had used my Makin Clay extruder to create polymer clay spaghetti strands for my glazed heart. Then I started playing with the strands and created this little nest.
And these balls of yarn. Just playing but in my play some ideas were born.
I've started doing some research on the sgraffito technique. Practiced in painting, wall decoration and ceramics, this technique produces a design by scratching through a top layer to reveal the layer underneath. I applied many layers of glaze to my egg and didn't think that it was exactly what I had imagined in my mind. My carving tool was close by so I started carving into the glazing. I would like to explore this technique further.
I've also started a few new knitting projects this past week. Last week, I knit another pair of handwarmers for a friend/colleague at work. Since I had some of this positively yummy cream and pink yarn left over, I started a cozy neck cowl. I found a really cool pattern here at t does wool's blog. You knit a 6 1/2″ x 20″ strip in an interesting ribbed pattern (what does knit 1 in st below mean anyway?) and then create a 2 button and loops clasp so you can secure it around your neck. I've never seen anything like this before but I discovered that it's apparently very popular with knitters. It reminds me of my free-form bracelets with the buttons and loops clasp.
My Mom sent me some "sock" yarn in autumn colors. As you knit, the variegation of the yarn creates stripes. How cool is that.
Do you see the stripe of blue yarn? Well, the pattern I'm making (called "All That Jazz" textured socks from the book "Vogue Knitting On The Go: Socks Two") called for knitting one round with "waste" yarn. I wasn't really sure what they were talking about but I figured that it wasn't the yarn I was using to knit the socks with. Hehe So I just grabbed some left over yarn and knit around. At some point, I will need to take that yarn out and transfer the stitches onto my needles. Sounds rather tricky. I'll keep you posted.
I find myself jumping around from project to project these days. Polymer clay. Knitting. Art journaling. My acupuncturist told me that people are starting to feel spring energy already. That restless, jumping around, things ready to be born and burst type of energy.
