Sacramento Kings group buys share of team out of bankruptcy
The Sacramento investor group that bought the Sacramento Kings has gotten approval to buy the 7 percent of the team that formerly belonged to Bob Cook, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Cook's 7 percent chunk of the team has been in bankruptcy court, and the bankruptcy judge denied Cook's bid to buy the share back.
Vivek Ranadivé and the investment group will pay $15.1 million for that extra wedge of team ownership – the same amount balked investor Chris Hansen planned to pay when his investment group planned to buy the team and take it to Seattle.

Doubtless there is also plenty of HARD to be had, if not now, then soon. For the truth is that TV porn in all its multicoloured combinations is, like Anthea Turner or Rocky 12, on the way. The Daily Mail and Virginia Bottomley can say what they like, sex on TV is a fact of the future. The frontier-eroding technology of satellite and cable combined with the unfortunate tastes of the British masses make it certain.
People get upset about this because broadcasting has always existed in such a peculiarly cosy realm. Any newsagent has long been able to provide you with spectacularly explicit material. And, with a little digging, I'm sure the average hardcore porn fan can find more or less what he wants. Indeed, even mainstream movies now contain sex scenes that would have been classed as hard core 20 years ago.
But broadcasting has been kept under control, primarily because it is seen to be "in the home". These virtual writhings would be in our living room and, therefore, can be suppressed in the name of good housekeeping. Television is insistent, intimate; it is expected to behave.
This is, in its way, fair enough. Porn is depressing and so is the pervasive exploitation of sex in advertising and the movies. A somewhat less publicly sexy world would be a pleasant relief.
But let's get real. The airwaves are now open. We cannot, Canute-like, hope to stop the porn. Ranting about a culture in decay because of a few televised writhings, couplings and whippings is futile. If that is what makes a decayed culture, then we are already far too decadent to even hope to be able to do anything about it.
The real solution - if that is what is needed - is to persuade or even educate people to stop thinking of broadcasting as in any way safe. Why should it be? Nothing else is. And, in truth, television never has been.
Personally, I regard Neighbours as much more socially corrosive than Playboy TV. Maybe you don't. But the point is that even mainstream television is already a cultural and moral minefield. If it doesn't mess you up, it will certainly corrupt the kids. Anybody who lets sub-12-year-olds watch Neighbours is helping to construct a warped culture. After 12, of course, it's either too late or you've brought them up so well that they can take it.
The hard fact is that television - mainstream or satellite - has escaped the bonds of local prejudice or concern. If you care about such things, it ought to be regarded with as much caution as a newsagent's shelves or a video store. Turn the page, flip the channel and prepare to see something you'd rather not have to explain to the children.
Broadcasters cannot be trusted. Of course they can't. The very idea is absurd. Viewers must stop whingeing and take responsibility. Wildly implausible, I know, regrettable, I agree. But what's the alternative? Radio? Forget it.

Employment attorneys focus on the many laws concerning the relationship between employers and employees. If you feel your employer has treated you wrongly as an employee, or if you're an employer who needs to terminate an unsatisfactory employee, you may benefit from the services of an employment attorney. Some professionals, such as teachers, policemen, and pilots, belong to labor unions, which have specific negotiation and labor law procedures that protect union members. A labor attorney will know which laws apply to your particular situation and how you can take advantage of the laws to protect your rights.

Not enough people appreciate this great band!
I have to share since I now live in Dallas, TX and I have probably met 2 people in 15 years who have even heard of The Alarm...so, In 1986 they played a free concert at UCLA. A friend was at the sound check and overheard one of the guys say something about going back to The Roosevelt (Hotel in Hollywood)So, we got up at like 4 am and drove all over Hollywood trying to find the hotel (we lived in Orange County so we didn't know where it was!) We found it, sat in the lobby for about 4 hours, and they finally came down. We were the only crazed fans there and they were very nice, took pictures with us, signed stuff. That is probably my favorite high school memory. They will always be one of my absolute favorites.


text:
I'm sure you didn't need me to actually state that what with my lack of regular entries, but I felt like I needed to. School has swallowed me whole, I'm constantly doing something for school, and the only time I actually get "down time" is the hour or two before I fall asleep. I always have a hard time winding down at the end of the day, so I always have to find something to keep my mind off of all of the craziness long enough just so I can fall asleep. I've been watching the same Simpsons DVDs over and over again to fall asleep to. Unfortunately I have been falling asleep with the TV on.
So the things I had to do and have taken care of for school just in the last couple of weeks?
2 term papers
1 presentation
4 labs
1 take home exam
What I still have left to do?
3 labs
1 term paper
1 presentation
4-5 final exams (one of my classes will more than likely have a lab and a lecture exam)
The last day of finals for me is the 16th. So you'll probably not see me around much until then on the internet, in any capacity, unless I'm at work and using it as a break while working on my term paper and presentation...and labs.
I have plans of things to do and things to work on over winter break, and I look forward to listing them down here in an attempt to keep to what I have to say. For now, my biggest goal is to eat healthier and get a little bit of extra exercise. I've been slacking a little on the extra exercise because I haven't really had the time for it...but not doing bad on the eating better part. It's all a work in progress!
Well, back to the research for the term paper!

Washington wineries appreciate governor's support
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Governor Chris Gregoire backed Washington wine over California wines once again this week by throwing down the gauntlet in support of local winemakers.
Gregoire recalled the conversation she had on a trade tour is Paris, toasting with Washington wine.
"Finally someone said, 'But governor, what about California wine and I said they make jug wine, we make fine wine, and everybody toasted," Gregoire said.Washington wineries video
Out at Arbor Crest they wholeheartedly support the governor's comments that wineries across the state put out a great product.
"It's encouraging, it makes me realize that we're understood that were part of the economic success and vitality of Washington state," Arbor Crest general manager Jim Van Loben Sels said.
Van Lobel Sels is both the general manager and the viticulturist at Arbor Crest winery in Spokane Valley. He says Washington wine could be considered the best in the United States and Washington has more top-rated wines at a good value than California in Wine Spectator magazine.
He added that other viticulturists are moving to the northwest to make wine because there's a dry climate here, and perfect conditions for growing grapes.
Of course Van Lobel Sels admits he's a bit biased.
"That's what makes Washington wines so exciting. We're not overpriced, people can afford to drink it everyday if they want and they get a great value," he said.
Arbor Crest was the 29th winery to open in Washington State. Now there are more than 700 across the state.

The Crown Was Held Above Him': Revisiting a Classic Maya Coronation Ceremony
with Dr. Marc Zender, Tulane University
Ever since Stuart's decipherment of the hand-holding-celt sign as K'AL in the 1990s, epigraphers have grappled with the sign's meaning. Coupled with Stuart and Houston's demonstrations that the BAAH 'gopher' sign often functioned as a rebus for 'head' or even 'self', many epigraphers have come to translate a common Classic Mayan coronation phrase as k'ahlaj sakhuun tubaah, literally 'the white headband is tied on his head'. This paper reconsiders this phrase in the light of new evidence drawn from epigraphic, linguistic, iconographic, and ethnohistoric sources.
First, a widespread sense of 'hold' is also attested in the Ch'olan languages for k'al, and perhaps better fits the iconic origins of the hand-holding-celt sign. Second, Mayan languages commonly derive locatives from body parts, strongly suggesting that a form like t-u-baah, although literally meaning 'at/on his head' actually came to signify 'above him'. Third, occasional depictions of coronation scenes appear to show a priestly attendant literally 'holding' a royal crown above the head of the acceding king, rather than tying or placing it on his head. Taken together, the evidence suggests that this phrase may have codified a key moment in the coronation ceremony where a priestly attendant held the crown aloft, perhaps for an adoring public to observe from a distance. As will be seen, intriguing comparisons can be drawn with coronation ceremonies from other cultures, particularly those of the Late Postclassic Aztec.
The Institute of Maya Studies is now a community partner with Miami Dade College – Kendall Campus, Miami, FL. This program will take place in K-413 (in Building K-4, Room 13). Check out the campus map for the location of Building K-4 on mdc.edu or, call the Maya Hotline (305-279-8110) for directions.

A/N - Not super long, even though I promised, but its a good solid length!

Here you go. An early new years gift if I dont post again before then.
DISCLAIMER - I do not own Naruto
Songs used for this chapter - Sharon Van Etten - Love More (LuQuS Bootleg) & The Neighborhood - Silver
I sat on the curb on some abandon street smiling, Kankuro chattering away in my ear next to me while boasting about all the new tricks he managed to learn over break. He seemed proud as he informed me of numerous trick names, knowing that I hadn't the faintest idea what any of them were and simply looking over the fact. He didn't seem to care to the slightest, far too happy with my approving nods to mind that I was absolutely clueless and merely kept on with that childlike boyish smile of his.
If I hadn't known better, I would find myself thinking he was a bit cute.
But I couldn't do that, I couldn't even look as if I was overly enjoying myself with the conversation, not with Tayuya wandering about and occasionally giving me a glance. I hadn't quite figured it out, but I think Kankuro made her slightly wary. Of what; I couldn't say. Still, in the very most private of my mind, I would like to entertain myself that she was just the least bit jealous of the small amount of game that Kankuro seemed to spit unknowingly. Sitting here, with his eyes sparking and searching for more approval, there was no way for me to believe that he was trying to capture my heart on purpose.
Yet the more he spoke, the more I wanted to pinch his cheek.
I guess it was more out of appreciation than me actually finding him charming. Kankuro never allowed me to go wandering about alone; he always attempted to keep me company. He must worry with all the new people around me, and in truth I didn't feel comfortable around any one at all. These few days of hanging out with the real full gang, I realized there were so many of them. And though most were nice, I felt like I wanted to shrink and sneak away half the time. Being around so many new faces was a bit nerve wrecking, so you could imagine my relief whenever I saw Kankuro strolling towards me in the most desperate moments. He saved me more than I could count with Tayuya too far out of my reach on rare occasion and me unknowingly looking completely lost.
He was my little buddy, there was no denying it.
"And then this other one I've been trying to learn for weeks now! You have to do this twitching thing with your feet, and I swear I wiped out more times than I could count doing it over and over and over again," Kankuro went on, knees bent up as he saw with me while giving me another smile.
I returned his in amusement and went on in mild fascination, "Ooh, what was it called?"
He tossed another name I didn't recognized, but I merely raised my eyebrows with impressed features. Giving me another grin, I continued on listening to his tale.
Apparently today was one of their skating sessions that Tayuya countlessly mentioned to me, but most of the time only brought up in conversation when explaining she skipped the event. Seeing how many people walked about, but more passing by on their boards, it honestly felt like a major occasion. They took turns showing off tricks, flipping and twisting their boards so easily all I could do was watch in amazement. But what caught my attention wasn't the show of skill all around me, but what Kiba had so casually slipped to me.
Apparently Tayuya was really good, and everyone always looked forward to seeing what she learned.
It never crossed my mind that Tayuya could pro at boarding, but then again I never bothered in taking an interest in seeing this side of her life. We usually did our own thing, hung with our own friends, and then at the end of the day kept each other company. Now, sitting here, watching her skate occasionally and talk to different people, I began to realize how popular she was with her group. Watching her on her board she seemed so graceful, and seeing her talk to the different skaters seemed just as effortless. She knew everyone by first name, boarded down the street without a care, and seemed to truly enjoy herself.
I wondered if she was like this all the, then questioned why I never bothered to tag along in the first place.
"Tayuya!" Someone called from the far end of the street, "Let's see what you got new, bro!"
I blinked at the call of her name, my eyes wandering to the boy who had called her out. Tayuya, who was talking with a small group near the dead grass and grouping of small trees stopped what she was doing and looked towards the boy as well. Then, as if reluctant, she stomped her board into her hand and began walking over. Unsure grin on her face, she began rubbing the back of her neck.
"I don't know man, I haven't been practicing at all," she admitted as people began paying attention. Even Kankuro and I stopped mid conversation to see what was going on.
"Don't give me that shit," the boy challenged with an easy smile, "I know you have something up your sleeve."
"Nah seriously," she went on with a small laugh, "I've been busy with other shit."
"Why do I feel like you're involved with her being so busy," Kankuro accused in a quiet tone.
"Don't look at me," I whispered back with a jab to his rib, "I hadn't been keeping her away from anything."
"Sure," he mumbled. I ignored him with a small glare.
"I hope whatever girl has you stuck is damn cute, because today you're going to look like a pure scrub if you can't pull off something decent," the boy joked, as Tayuya finally reached him.
The comment made her laugh, and with a shrug she replied, "I don't know Sasori, the girl I have in mind can take away my board any day."
Blushing, I bit my lip and drifted my eyes to the smooth concrete road underneath my crossed legs as I sat on the curb. For a second my stomach churned, but then with a cold thought Karin came floating past my mind. I wondered which one of us she was talking about.
But then again I was just being conceded and was hoping I was even an option.
"Fuck you man," Sasori replied, punching her shoulder, "Stop messing around. Let's see the works."
Sighing, she gave a smile, shrugged, and dropped her board on the road. My eyes wandered and caught that some people were around watching with interest and some weren't. Kankuro seemed mildly curious on what Tayuya was about to pull, so I kept quiet and watched as well. She put her foot on the board and started drifting away from the boy named Sasori slowly.
"Watch the board," Kankuro mumbled from beside me.
I raised my eyebrows slightly, but otherwise stayed quiet and watched.
As Tayuya slowly glided on her board, she began bending her knees, as if prepping up for whatever she was about to do. Then, so quick that I could hardly catch it, she flipped the board under her feet in a way that must have been absolutely impressive because a couple of people cursed in amazement.
"What the fuck," Kankuro commented mostly to himself, "Haven't been practicing my ass; takes me weeks to figure that out and she gets it in two days."
Blinking, I glanced over and asked, "Has she been practicing that?"
"No," he grumbled in response, "She saw me wipe out doing it, hasn't even bothered trying, and out of fucking no where she nails it tonight. What a bitch."
I smiled slightly at his annoyance, but my eyes wandered back to Tayuya as she kicked with some pace. I realized the first trick was probably just a warm up; she was now in full motion. Bending her knees again, she flipped her board and this time landed on only the front two wheels. Rolling on the road, seeming to balance herself effortlessly, she kept us in suspense because I knew there had to be more. Then even with my eyes completely trained on her she did another trick in a flash.
"No seriously, fuck her," Kankuro muttered in absolute distaste.
I laughed a bit as everyone began cursing again.
Tayuya continued on with her tricks, but I don't think she was doing it for the attention. She was in her own world, boarding by herself because in her mind we weren't even there. I guess that's why she was doing so well, how effortless it all seemed. To her this was second nature, to the rest of the skaters this was absolute skill, and to me…It was indescribable.
Then, out of nowhere, she looked over at me. Mid trick she caught my eyes, brown ones steady on mine. I was trapped, simply watched her, and for a moment the world paused. It felt like an eternity, I wondered what caused her to seek me out in the first place. But the moment was only a split instant in reality, and with a sickening snap I watched Tayuya miss her board and fall to the ground.
I instantly stood up, my heart sinking at the fall. The memory of the first moments of when we met came sweeping by, and a recalled that a similar scene of the falling from her board had caused the same stomach-turning reaction out of me. But unlike before, Tayuya didn't hop right back up. Instead she laid there, and everyone flinched and 'ouched' in pain.
Before I could think better of it, I found myself right next to her on the ground worriedly looking down at her condition. Nothing seemed broken; she simply laid there with beanie beside her head and hair tangled onto the street. Her eyes were shut though, I could see the pain twisted on her face and how hard she struggled not to vocalize her obvious discomfort. Eyebrows furrowed in absolute concern, I asked, "Are you alright?"
Her hands curled into fists and for a moment she didn't move. Just as I was about to panic, she slipped her eyes open and relaxed her fingers. Swallowing, she gave me weak smile, and in a soft joke she replied, "Besides feeling completely embarrassed, I'm perfectly fine."
I opened my mouth to say something, but just then Kankuro and Kiba showed up. They didn't look at all concerned; actually Kankuro looked beyond pleased about the situation while Kiba simply looked amused. Relaxed with no real urgency in his town tone, Kiba inquired, "Now how the hell did you manage to fuck that one up?"
Tayuya sighed as she laid in the middle of the street. Shrugging, and then flinching her eyes shut in slight pain, she mumbled back, "I got distracted."
"By what?" Kankuro taunted with a knowing grin, "See something sweet in the distance?"
"Shut up," she growled with a glare, but that only seemed to provoke him even more.
Kankuro leaned towards me with a small nudge, "You know I've only seen her wipe out this hard doing simple tricks over a girl," he then turned to Tayuya and continued, "And since Karin isn't here this time around, I'm guessing you got a bit preoccupied eyeing someone else?"
A small frown pulled at my lips as I glanced back down at Tayuya, noticing the way she was now burning a hole in Kankuro's head. Kiba then nudged Kankuro hard in the ribs, and with a slight 'umph' in pain he was then dragged away, "Let's go Einstein. Show me what new tricks you managed to learn."
Tayuya sighed out as we were left alone, and with a glance around I realized that everyone didn't seem concerned with her anymore. Except Sasori, who walked over and gave her a grin. Tayuya lifted up her arm straight up and the red head boy slapped his palm against her hand in a high five before saying, "Nice wipe bro, but even nicer moves. Was good into you turned into a scrub."
"Thanks," Tayuya replied simply, taking the awkward compliment with a grin.
Sasori waved her off while walking away, "But you should show board some more love, she was your first after all."
Tayuya sighed as she dropped her arm back to the ground, flinching again in pain. As Sasori left, we were left in silence, the words of Kankuro still sitting heavy between us both. Biting my lip, I tried to push past it, instead I asked a bit quietly, "Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah princess, doesn't hurt too bad," she replied in a mumble, eyes careful to avoid mine.
Sighing, I sat back and replied, "You should be careful."
"Yeah I know," she muttered back without moving at all.
My eyes wandered her body, her smoky breath slipping up into the cold winter night sky. Seconds later I caught something red and stated in disapproval, "You're bleeding."
Tayuya blinked and lifted her head, looking down at herself to try to figure out where. Soon enough she realized it was elbow, and with a raise of her eyebrows she said in surprise, "Hm, would you look at that."
Not at all impressed, I shifted to stand up, but she caught my hand. My eyes rose to hers, but she didn't speak right away. Instead she just watched me for a moment, swallowed, and looked away. Sighing, she dropped my hand and sat up as she mumbled, "Tell Gaara to get me the kit from Kankruo's car so I can clean up this cut."
Standing up, I replied, "Sure, alright." But otherwise didn't bother questioning whatever she was obviously struggling to say. Half because I didn't want to know, it was most likely over the trivial comment, but I think we both knew she didn't have to bother. Not because I was too angry about it, even though it was slightly annoying, no I think she knew it didn't matter. Whatever she said wouldn't comfort the minor blow, and it was possibly best to just leave it alone. So she did.
I'm glad we understood each other, at least to an extent.
Finding Gaara wasn't too hard, he always seemed to stick to one place and that was near a comfortable looking tree. Shikamaru was hanging out with him as well, putting out whatever they were smoking as soon as they saw me walking up. I liked that they tried to accommodate for my lack of tolerance to drugs, but I stated so many times before that it hardly mattered. Still they tried their hardest to make me comfortable, and that's what I loved most about the close gang that I knew and loved.
"Um, Tayuya said she needs the kit from Kankuro's car," I informed when I reached them.
Gaara silently got up without a word, but Shikamaru's eyebrows rose in surprise as he asked, "She wiped out?"
"Trying a trick, yeah she fell," I answered, watching as Gaara walked over to the car that wasn't very farm from the tree.
"Huh, that doesn't happen often," Shikamaru mumbled with scratching the back of his head, but otherwise losing interest fairly quickly, "How is your night going, by the way? Like our lame skate session?"
I smiled and taunted, "I absolutely adore this lame skate session of yours"
"That's good," he replied with a small tugging smile, "I figured it was only a matter of time until you were invited to one. Tayuya missing skate sessions sure gets everyone bummed out."
Understanding what he was saying, I simply gave a small laugh and nodded, "Yeah, seeing as so many people know her here. Has it always been like this?"
"Well, for some reason Tayuya seems to pick up tricks faster than the rest of us, but she never shows anything off unless she absolutely has it down. So her bailing is rare, and we only ever get to see how good she's gotten, it makes her a tad bit famous in our small group," he explained as Gaara came walking back up, handing me the small little metal box.
"She is pretty good, even though I don't know half the things she's doing," I agreed, taking the metal box with a smile of thanks to Gaara.
"Just know half the shit she pulls off is pretty mind blowing," Shikamaru replied with a shake of her head, "Fucking insane. She isn't hurt too bad, right?"
"No, just a cut on her elbow I think," I assured.
"Good, nothing a small patch and a quick bowl won't fix," he said with a nod, digging in his pocket and handing me out a small red weird looking object. I blinked but stepped forward to grab it from him, curiously examining it with slight fascination. I had no idea what it was, but I had to admit it looked cool, "Give that to her. She told me to hold on to it for her, but I think she might need it now."
"Ok," I nodded while looking up and giving a small wave, "Catch you guys later."
"See ya," Shikamaru replied with Gaara just rose his eyes in acknowledgement.
I wandered back to where I had left Tayuya, but she wasn't there. Even with a quick glance around, I couldn't spot her in the clump of people that scattered the area. Sighing, I took another look before giving up and just walking over to the curb I had been sitting on before. I figured the best option I had was to keep in one spot and wait, I'm sure she'd make her way back eventually.
For the mere moment I was alone, I took the time to fiddle with my phone. Opening it I saw that Sakura had sent me a quick message on how she won a game of monopoly against her family. Smiling slightly, I congratulated her on being the 'boss' she claimed to be. Just as I was putting my phone up, Kankuro had come to save me from solitude.
"You should come by to our skate sessions for now on so you can make Tayuya bail more often," he joked with a grin while sitting down next to me.
"Or Karin, right?" I tossed out with a small roll of my eyes, "She would work perfectly fine."
"Well Tayuya doesn't bring her around anymore; we haven't seen her in ages. I don't even know if they are still talking to be honest," he replied with mild interest while leaning as his arms propped him up.
Blinking because this was news to me, I asked, "What happened?"
"Not sure," he shrugged, "One day she's here, next she's gone. Tayuya hasn't brought her up, so we don't ask questions. I'm sure Kiba knows the dirty details, but last I heard from her was too long ago for me to even remember."
A small frown pulled at my lips as I wondered what could have possibly been the background to the whole story. With Kankuro's vague information, there was a very real possibility that hardly any of it was true. Still I couldn't help but notice how Karin hadn't popped up in any conversation since the night I caught Tayuya kissing her at that party, and the very short argument about it that following day.
"Anyway, what are you doing with Tayuya's pipe?" Kankruo asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
Coming back to reality, I glanced down at the red blown glass with soft spikes all around it and answered, "Um, is that what it's called? Shikamaru gave it to me to give to Tayuya after hearing about her fall. He said that she'd need it."
"That baby fall and they want her to smoke it off?" He snorted with a roll of his eyes, "She's fine, nothing a little walk couldn't fix."
"Yeah well, she disappeared so I can't even give her this or the metal box," I huffed out with a sigh, throwing my hand out to point at the thing, "Don't know what I'm supposed to do with it now. Might as well take it back to Gaara."
"Nah she'll be back," Kankuro assured as I plopped my chin on my palm, "She just got dragged away by some girl for a second, don't think it'll be too long."
"Some girl?" I asked with a small frown.
"Yeah, one of the crew members," he went on with his eyes fixed on some guy doing a trick, "She's always around, digs skating so hard that she breathes it. I think she saw Tayuya bail and is checking to see if she's alright."
"Oh," I replied, feeling even more annoyed but shoving it deep down within me. Maybe it was always like this, but when the fuck did Tayuya get so fucking popular with so many girls?
"To be honest, I think they went to smoke real quick, that's all," Kankuro chimed into the middle of my thoughts. I glanced over at him to see the small tug at his lips, "I doubt she'll be much longer; didn't even look like she wanted to go, but the group dragged her along."
"Hmm," I hummed in response, my eyes drifting away. Soon after we fell quiet and simply enjoyed each other's company.
I lost track of time, but soon enough Tayuya had managed to make her way to us. Gray beanie on, blue sweater snug, and board in her hand she strolled to a stop in front of us. She had definitely been smoking, I could tell automatically; it wasn't by her features just the smell of it lingered around her. I gave her a look, but she tossed me such a warm smile that the cold air around us seemed nonexistent.
Before anything could be said between us, Kankuro stood up, "Was just telling her on how you got kid napped."
"Yeah," she sighed out with a rub of her neck, "They treated me to a quick bowl though, so I can't complain much."
"Speaking of bowls, she's got your pipe," he mentioned with a jerk of his thumb, "You should be careful when you carry that thing around, isn't it your favorite?"
Tayuya's eyebrows rose at the information, and when I lifted up the glass object in my hand a smile pulled at her lips. Taking a step forward, she grabbed the pipe and said, "Yeah, Komodo is definitely one of my all-time fav smoking equipment."
"Sickest pipe I've ever seen," Kankuro agreed with a nod, "A bowl that looks like fire with dragon spikes? Luckiest score ever."
"Shit you not, I flipped when I found it," Tayuya laughed.
"Lucky fucker," he said with a light punch of her arm, "Anyway bro, I'm going to try some tricks of my own. Down with keeping Ino company?"
"It's why I came," she answered while waving him off and placing her board on the ground, "Absolutely done with being social for today."
"Cool," he replied, his eyes slipping to mine as he gave me a smile, "Ready to see how cool I can be?"
Giving him a smile in return, I entertained him with a nod and taunting tone, "I hope you don't wipe out."
"Unlike Tayuya, I don't bail when a cute girl is around," he joked with a charming wink, "Keep your eyes on me Kitkat, I just might steal your heart with my moves."
Laughing, I rolled my eyes, "Sure, alright."
Giving a grin, he bent down to grab his board and walked off without another word. Smile still on my face over his childish antics, I merely shook my head and watched him go. As he went, Tayuya sat beside me, obvious distaste on her features. Legs up and bent in front of her, she rested her elbows on her knees as she watched Kankuro get further and further away.
For a moment she didn't speak, but then with a grumble said, "He seriously thinks he can score whatever girl he wants."
Shrugging, I responded, "Last I heard he said he couldn't find a girlfriend, so he sticks with me instead."
Frowning even more, she mumbled, "That shit isn't ok."
A bit amused by her behavior, I asked, "And why not?"
"Because false hope over something that obviously isn't his is pretty unhealthy, I should know," she answered with a bit of a bite in her tone.
Small frown pulling at my lips, I pointed out, "But I'm not owned by anyone; practically makes me free and fair game… for Kankuro, right?"
"I can name a couple of ways on how absolutely tied down you are to very certain person," she muttered while looking ahead, eyes wandering the street and all the skaters flipping their boards, "There is no fair game anymore. At this point, if he wants you, he'll have to take you by force. And the whole world will call cheats, but does it matter if he gets what he's been dying for?..."
My heart sunk a little and my pulse picked up its pace. Minding reeling, I wondered if this was double meaning or was she truly speaking about Kankuro and how badly he wanted me. I thought about his smile, the way he joked and always lingered about- it wouldn't be such a far off statement to say that he really did wish I was his. Still, the slight downward pull at her lips and the solemn look in her eyes- it made me question what she was really speaking of.
Before I could say anything though, she held out her hand and gave me the pipe she named Komodo. I took it with a curious look, but she merely said, "Hold on to that for me."
Blinking in surprise, I held it in my open palm and asked, "But isn't this important to you?"
"Yeah, actually it is," she nodded, but then glanced over at me and gave me a small smile, "That's why I'm asking you to hold it. I trust you to keep it safe rather than me keeping it in my pocket. I always tend to drop and break shit when my board is nearby."
Returning her smile with a weak one of my own, I carefully put the pipe in my jacket and said nothing further. For a while we merely sat in silence, and stayed that way while watching Kankuro did tricks on his board.
The whole time though, I thought about Tayuya and her words.
(1) - Same songs because for some reason Ive been stuck on them for a bit. Idk, I just love the feel and sound of em. I feel like they are the sound track of the mood in these past chapters. Just mellow, floating, all the while turning the wheels of your mind.
There is so much going on, both in this story and my life. Shit I feel rushed, half the time I dont know if I should be sitting on a chapter or just writing what comes up in my head. Either way, here's chapter 48.
Ah Tayuya, I feel like you're floating the most. Some of her actions and words makes me wonder if she's thinking about that kiss as well. And about Ino, and how oh so very mind fucked she is right now. Shit the feels are even starting to get to ME, but maybe its because my head is spinning with ideas of what will happen next.
Read review, tell me what you think. I'm sorry its not as long as I promised, but I finished this yesterday, and with how the scene ended, I didn't know where to go from there. Instead of sitting on the chapter, I figured I'd just post and write up whatever comes up.
Love you guys. Get ready for the new year! Life is fucking crazy, 2014 is such an off the wall number.
Shycadet loves. Out.

Discussion in 'General WWE' started by Harley Quinn, Aug 7, 2012.
It's okay to drink kids, as long as you're having fun. Not drinking makes you boring
Nothing wrong with a few beers!
Drinking alcohol is a sin.
So is having tattoos and wearing mixed materials I believe.
That's not really a good message, I still think a straight edge guy who doesn't drink/smoke/does drugs as a heel is a bit weird.
It is, especially during his Hardy feud IMO. The drug addict Vs the clean guy and the addict is the good guy?
Honestly as well do we all not love it when stars have a problem but then clean themselves up and get a second chance at life?
I know that piss me off! Jeff should had been the heel and Punk should been the face of that feud!
................................ Really?
Very difficult to get people to boo Jeff however, Punk is a natural heel so he gets boos easier.
That feud was good but it turned out weird because of this reversal of roles. Although face Punk vs heel Hardy shouldn't have happened, maybe they should've made the feud about something else or not even made the feud.
If you don't drink, you find yourself to 10x stronger than you would with drugs and alcohol, mentally and physically. You have better will power and aren't affected by peer pressure.
Theres a lot of opinions on here. Ive been brought up and live with alcohol in a sensible sense it's a weekend thing or sometimes a football thing it's casual.
However there are those on here who don't drink nothing wrong with that either as we all have our reasons and views.
The thing I catch a problem is, kids watch this stuff. At the time CM Punk was a heel. The message that was sent was:
Bad guy: Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, is boring because he doesn't drink or smoke.
Good guy: Encourages drinking, and insults people who don't.
While it doesn't bother me when people drink, it bothers me when they get drunk.
I dislike the feeling of being drunk which is why i don't have any interest in drinking
That's modern society for you.

I received some very wise counsel by a veteran mom who told me our mornings would go much better if I started with my toddler first.
She was right!
Last week, I discovered that if we take 'scheduled' turns with our little bundle of energy, our DAYS are so much better!
Though we don't have a set start time each morning, here's a basic formula we follow:
My oldest (high school) gets up between 5-6 am to start his work. It's quiet and he can cruise through his work without hindrance. (And yes, he thrives on this schedule!) The rest of the crew gets up between 7:30-8:00.
We all eat breakfast together around 8:00-8:30 and we begin our schooling after cleanup.
|1st Half Hour
|Mom and Nip Napper
|Puzzles, Counting and ABC Games
|(Oldest 3 kids work independently)
|2nd Half Hour
|8 year old and Nip Napper
|Drawing, Coloring, Painting, Creating
|(I do Spelling with 11 year old)
|3rd Half Hour
|11 year old and Nip Napper
|Building - Blocks, Legos, Trains…..
|(I do Spelling & Reading with 8 yr old)
|4th Half Hour
|13 year old and Nip Napper
|Story and Snack time
|(I continue working with 8 yr old)
The addition of these scheduled play times has made such a difference! Everyone benefits!!

I'm emailing to see if there can be an edit to the event: SF Opera Lab Pop-up @ the Chapel on April 1st, 2015
If we make the following change to the event description , it would be much appreciated.
Please replace: "Join SF Opera artists in song hosted and accompanied by our resident "Diva Whisperer" Robert Mollicone." with "Barihunk Hadleigh Adams hosts and performs along with other members of the SF Opera artist family."
Craig Hansen @ SF Opera
Why don't the event listings actually link to the website hosting the event?? That would make this calendar much more useful.
Cheers, John
Dear mission. Community, I am writing from Australia, I have read the events and programs you are developed with your community and I congratulate all of you. My name is Iris and I would like to have communication with you. Regards, Iris ( I am an artist as well)
How can I learn about community meetings in the Mission? I am interested in more deeply understanding and engaging with the community.
I am seeing mostly events for entertainment here and am wondering if there is another place where community meetings and town halls are posted.
Thank you!

抽気を有する超音速キャビティ流れと斜め衝撃波の干渉 Interaction between Oblique Shock Wave and Supersonic Cavity Flow with Mass Bleed
In recent years, research and development activities for next generation supersonic transport are being carried out actively by the world aeronautical communities. In a supersonic air-intake, a cavity with bleed plays an important role in the control of normal shock wave under the cavity/shock wave interaction. The supersonic air-intake flow tends to be unstable due to the shock wave/wall boundary layer or the shock wave/shear layer interactions occurring close to the leading edge of the cavity. In the present study, the effects of cavity/ oblique shock wave interaction and bleeding on the pressure oscillation in the cavity were investigated experimentally in the case of the flow Mach number 1.74 at the cavity entrance and the characteristics of oscillation in the cavity were analyzed using the continuous wavelet transforms.

Like most women, I've been called a whore more than once. It happens when you fall foul of a man, whether it''s a guy who's annoyed because you ignored his advances at a bus stop (as happened to me one bright Sunday morning) or a journalist on a sleazy newspaper.
Red-top newspaper editors - I know some of them are women, but bear with me - are currently having a great time with Heather Mills McCartney, whom they accuse of having been a whore - to be exact, a "£5k hooker" - when she was in her 20s.
Mills has said she intends to sue when her divorce from Paul McCartney is settled, and even avid readers of the News of the World must be dimly aware of the paper's hypocrisy in paying for dirt on her from individuals it would in other circumstances despise, namely women who claim to have sold sex and the former secretary of the arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. If being a "hooker" is such a terrible thing - and the paper affects to believe it is, having no other justification for publishing this stuff over five pages last weekend - it will be interesting to hear its lawyers explain in court why anyone should take a blind bit of notice of some of its star witnesses.
But the significant thing about what's happening to Mills is that it's an extreme version of what could happen to any woman who hasn't lived her life as a nun. Take Victoria Beckham, for instance: two years ago, the Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles accused her on his show of being a whore, on the grounds that she became pregnant for the first time before her marriage to the England captain.
Earlier this year Moyles was at it again, describing female listeners to his programme as "dirty whores" - a remark for which, mysteriously, he has been reprimanded by the BBC, rather than sacked. Unlike Mills, Beckham responded to the accusation with a giggle, possibly because she didn't know what else to do. This kind of vile abuse is often presented as harmless joshing or even an endearment, as defenders of gangsta rap will tell you ad nauseam: what's wrong, bitch, haven't you got a sense of humour?
Beckham was in the fortunate position of knowing that Moyles didn't mean it literally, and the even more fortunate position of having an exceptionally powerful male protector. The reason Heather Mills is being hounded in this way is not that the allegations have just come to light - hacks have been sniffing round them for years - but because she's assumed to have lost McCartney''s protection. The News of the World is wary of powerful men; apart from Khashoggi, the men Mills was alleged to have had sex with appeared in its story only as "members of the Maktoum racing dynasty" and"a member of the Saudi royal family". If the paper is so sure of its claims, why didn't it play fair and name them?
In fact, the spate of allegations against Mills shows that she has gone from being an object of envy, particularly for other women - the working-class girl who nabbed a multimillionaire - to a woman whose reputation is seen as an irresistible target. In tabloid terms, she's a fallen woman, geddit?
I think this is a miscalculation. After their split last month, McCartney leapt to the defence of his estranged wife, who is also (let us not forget) the mother of the couple's young daughter. If he continues to support Mills, the biggest obstacle faced by most people who want to bring a libel action - the crippling cost - will not apply in this case. I'm not a fan of this country's defamation laws, but this is one occasion when I look forward to seeing editors trying to justify what amounts to shameless bullying of a disabled woman whose marriage has broken down and who has recently undergone a major operation.
What may be of some comfort to Mills is that the use of words such as whore, hooker, prostitute and slut - another insult Chris Moyles likes, having hurled it at newsreader Georgina Bowman in November - reveals more about whoever's using them than the intended target. In Moyles's case, you don't have to be a genius to work out that a fat, slobbish, deeply unattractive man is acting out his sexual disgust by verbally abusing women; the puzzling bit is that the BBC apparently pays him £630,000 a year to do it. (Are misogynists really that expensive? I thought they were ten a penny.)
When a man calls a woman a whore, he usually means two things: that she enjoys sex too much, and she isn't doing it with him. The same goes for slut, slag and slapper, insults which still have no male equivalent. (Which male pop star or footballer is going to complain about being called a stud?) It's an expression of desire, frustration and anger, as Jane Mills explained in her illuminating book Womanwords: "The way in which whore has been used reveals an ambivalence: there is both an abhorrence of the flesh and a passion for it. These two feelings live side by side, unreconciled."
Ever since the sexual revolution - when, by the way, the quaint term "hooker" came into fashion and quickly disappeared again - women have been caught between two anxieties: being too sexy and not being sexy enough. When a girl or woman says no, she may find herself accused of being frigid or a lesbian; if she is unlucky, she may become the victim of sexual assault of rape. But what insecure men really hate is a woman who is having sex, enjoying it and isn't available to them, which is a fair description of what Heather Mills was assumed to be doing when she was living with the former Beatle.
In that sense, the widespread casual use of words like "whore" suggests a sharpening of the power struggle that began in the Seventies when feminism first challenged the hypocrisies of the sexual revolution. We were supposed to believe a raft of contradictory things, including that prostitutes were the epitome of the sexually liberated woman, loving their jobs and calling themselves happy hookers, when life for most of them remained pretty grim. It's not difficult to work out that what's going on today is yet another attempt to get women back under male control; when seedy DJs and hacks hurl sexual insults at famous women, they're secretly hoping we'll keep quiet about enjoying sex and stop upsetting them with a vision of something they can't attain.
It's a form of scare tactics which didn't work in the Seventies and isn't working now. Plenty of women are fed up with "raunch" culture, which requires us to behave at all times as though we're auditioning for a job at Spearmint Rhino. But we're equally fed up with the sustained verbal abuse of attractive, sexually active women in entertainment and the media. When my friends and I hear women being called whores, we don't think any the less of them. As the lottery slogan goes, it could be you.Reuse content
