The carriage rides to meet the groom |
And opens wide and welcome doors |
But he hesitates, then withdraws |
Deeper in the shadows |
And the train is gone suddenly |
On wheels clicking silently |
Like a gently tapping litany |
And he holds his crayon rosary |
Tighter in his hand |
Now from his pocket quick he flashes |
The crayon on the wall he slashes |
Deep upon the advertising |
A single worded poem comprised |
Of four letters |
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding |
The poem across the tracks rebounding |
Shadowed by the exit light |
His legs take their ascending flight |
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night |
Men More Likely To Cheat If They Are Economically Dependent On Their Female Partners |
August 16, 2010 |
Economic dependency has the opposite effect on women |
“But for women, economic dependency seems to have the opposite effect: the more dependent they are on their male partners, the less likely they are to engage in infidelity,” said Christin Munsch, a sociology Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University, and author of the study, “The Effect of Relative Income Disparity on Infi... |
“One or more of these variables is impacting the relationship,” Munsch said. “For example, it may be that men who make less money than their partners are more unhappy and cheat because they are unhappy, not necessarily because they make less money.” |
Ironically, men who make significantly more than their female partners were also more likely to cheat. “At one end of the spectrum, making less money than a female partner may threaten men’s gender identity by calling into question the traditional notion of men as breadwinners,” Munsch said. “At the other end of the sp... |
“For women, making less money than a male partner is not threatening, it is the status quo,” said Munsch. “More importantly, economically dependent women may encounter fewer opportunities to cheat, and they may make a calculated decision that cheating just isn’t worth it. If they get caught, their livelihood is at risk... |

Sections of the floor in our dining room have worn sections, where the polyurethane coating has worn through to the bare wood. Having the room emptied and properly refinished isn't really an option at the moment. I understand that you really can't stay in the house while the pros are using their giant floor sanders and... |
Can I sand the section of floor by hand and paint or spray polyurethane on the damaged sections? Is there any way of doing this so it'll last for more than a few months? Or are we best off simply waiting the several months or so it'll be until we can have this done properly? |
The research I've done has yielded several opinions on the subject. This one, for example, seems to outline a procedure I could do on my own, but can I do this to just a section of the floor? |

does the wood show signs of wear also? Urethane over damaged wood will lock in and highlight the defects. Actual refinishing urethane is easy, but restoring the color of the wood can be tricky. Can you elaborate on the condition a bit? – shirlock homes Feb 29 '12 at 10:58 |

I have had repairs done on oak floors that resulted in refinishing small areas. It looks remarkably good. The process is straightforward: sand the area, clean it with a solvent afterwards (denatured alcohol), apply polyurethane, let dry. |
Use solvent based polyurethane and get the same finish type (gloss, satin, etc.) and apply a few thick coats. |

Good to hear. I didn't finish these floors, how do I tell what finish was used? (Or is that an entirely different question?) – neilfein Feb 29 '12 at 4:48 |
Always use thin coats of urethane, let dry, lightly sand, clean dust off with a damp cloth, let dry and add more coats. Never try to rush the job with heavy coats. It will take forever to dry, collect dust and look uneven. – shirlock homes Feb 29 '12 at 11:01 |

What’s Really Behind Bush Hate For USC TV Guy |
If you still think Twitter hasn’t changed sports media dramatically, the train has officially left without you. Witness Reggie Bush during the USC-San Jose State telecast yesterday on Fox Sports West TV: |
Reggie Bush Tweet |
(It’s time to play The Feud, Trojan fans!) |
Most of you are probably like Larry Fitzgerald on this, so if you don’t who Papadakis is and/or why Bush would say such an inflammatory thing about a fellow former Trojan, I can help. (I assure you there’s much more to this story than what happened yesterday.) |
First, what exactly did Papadakis say during the USC-San Jose State telecast that made Bush upset enough to Tweet his disdain for the former USC football captain to his 230,000 Twitter followers? |

We run a remote system and would like the servers to be able to alert us to their status via SMS. Is it possible to setup our own SMS gateway (or our own GSM network) so we DO NOT have to pay for an SMS provider? |
Is this possible? if so, please let us know what are the required hardwares and how we get started.. |
I'm sure this is possible, because when the operator A want to send an SMS to the operator B, it do not pay any cent to the operator B. also, there are ton of online services like: Atompark.com, clickatell, ...etc |
please Note: we know how to build an sms gateway using Linux system, a Modem GSM and a valid SIM, but we are looking a way that we do not have to pay any cent for sending sms messages... |

Here's How It Works |
You >>> Forwarding Aggregator >>> SMS Aggregator >>> Mobile Operator >>> Mobile Company >>> Your Customer |
3 Major Parties Are Involved in the Whole Process: |
1. Mobile Operators: They Manage SMSC (Short Message Service Centers). AT&T, Sprint/NEXTEL, T-Mobile USA, U.S.Cellular and Verizon Wireless are few of the major mobile operators in the whole world. They have deep connections with all major mobile phone companies. Most of them have 800 to 950 telecommunication/mobile co... |
Cost of becoming a Mobile Operator: Billion Dollar Business if not Trillion. |
2. SMS Aggregators: mBlox, air2web and motricity are few of them. They have deep connections with Mobile operators. |
Cost of becoming SMS Aggregator: in Millions |
3. Forwarding Aggregators/SMS Gateways: Clickatell, Twilio and esendex and few others are providing SMS Gateway APIs and most of the developers are using Clickatell to integrate its SMS API with their app. They charge different rates for different countries (NO FIXED RATE FOR ALL COUNTRIES). It would cost you rougly ar... |
Cost of becoming Forwarding Aggregator: May be in Millions |
Bottom Line: I'm working on a FREE solution but till today there are no FREE reliable solution in the whole world to send Bulk Messages for FREE internationally. So stop wasting your time on searching for a FREE solution. You have to come up with a new technology in order to achive this. |
Though there are many options to send Bulk messages within your country for FREE or by spending little money but you simply can't achieve this if you're planning to send messages internationally. |
Usually I avoid adding comments in any forum but this man really forced me to put my legs in. Here's what he commented: "Can we own an SMSC with a small private GSM network?" |
lol - Thanks for giving me first laughter of the day :) |
For any queries you can contact me at: zzzaix@gmail.com |

Aside from any operator provided email-to-sms system there is no "free" way to do this. |
This is balanced by the fact that B will not pay A for messages going in the other direction. Internationally they often do pay SMS interconnect fees. |
... setup our own SMS gateway |
Yes, but you need access to an SMSC on a GSM network to send the messages either directly or via a device with a SIM, thats what you pay for. |
or our own GSM network |
Not practically, no. |

can we own an SMSC with a small private GSM network? if not, ow we can have an own system to send sms to other operators for free? – عبدالإله فرحاوي Sep 20 '12 at 11:36 |
a "private" gsm network is only of use over a small local area and is rarely usefull – Alex K. Sep 20 '12 at 11:42 |
but how can I send sms (for free) like Atompark.com or clickatell or like any free online service? – عبدالإله فرحاوي Sep 20 '12 at 12:08 |
They are not free, you pay them – Alex K. Sep 20 '12 at 12:08 |
While there are no free ways to send proper text messages, you might be better off buying an GSM module for a server (usb in racks would not be ideal, but there should be proper hw expansion buses). You would query the module itself rather then relying on a 3rd party middle server to send those messages, saving a notab... |
Though I have not realized this per se, I created this plan for sending text messages for a service of mine. It was by far the cheapest option. |

'Closer' Star Gets Closer to The Rock |
Emmy nominee Kyra Sedgwick, hot off the second season of TNT's "The Closer," will take a main role in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's football comedy "The Game Plan." |
"The Game Plan" is set up at Disney and has been on hold since June, when Johnson ruptured his Achilles tendon. |
Johnson will play a football player who attempts to bond with his newly discovered daughter (Madison Pettis). Sedgwick will appear as the player's ruthless sports agent who doesn't care about the kid, at least according to The Hollywood Reporter. |
Morris Chestnut and Paige Turco are also co-starring in the Andy Fickman-directed project. |
Sedgwick has earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her turn as master interrogator Brenda Johnson in "The Closer." Her film credits include "The Woodsman" (opposite husband Kevin Bacon), "Phenomenon" and "Something to Talk About." |
