Honda Motor Co. has introduced a range of four- and six-cylinder engines at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, as well as a family of continuously variable transmissions that are expected to arrive at the market within the next couple of years. The Earth Dreams family has four-cylinder engines that feature direct injection and double overhead cams.
The new powerplants will be used in the new as well as the redesigned Honda and Acura models. Keiji Ohtsu, a chief engineer with Honda R&D, said that several markets currently on the market may receive the new engines before they are redesigned. To cut costs, several base versions of existing models will retain their single-cam, four-cylinder configurations throughout their life cycle.
A new V-6 will continue to be a single-cam but it will become significantly more powerful. Honda aims to achieve a "zero carbon footprint" and to offer the highest fuel economy in each category within the next three years, according to Honda Motor CEO Takanobu Ito. The new Honda engines will have the following specifications.
A 3.5-liter V-6 delivers 310 hp and 265 pounds-feet of torque. When compared to the outgoing 3.5-liter engine in the Acura TL, this engine produces 30hp more. It also has 11 more pounds-feet. Meanwhile, a 2.4-liter inline-four produces 181 hp and 177 pounds-feet of torque.
Redesigned Accord that arrives next fall will have this base engine. It could also be used in the CR-V's midcycle change in 2013. Then there's a 1.8-liter inline-four that has 148 hp and 133 pounds-feet of torque, which may be installed in the 2013 midcycle change for the Civic.
The Fit will get a 1.5-liter inline-four that offers 127 hp and 111 pounds-feet of torque. This is set to arrive in time for the midcycle change in 2012. This 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine has an output that's comparable to a current 2.2-liter diesel. It offers 220 pounds-feet of torque but its fuel economy is much better.
For the 2012 model year, the new Honda Fit has an assortment of interior upgrades, new standard and optional elements, as well as revised styling for the sport version. With a tight turning diameter of 34.4 feet (curb-to-curb), the very compact Honda Fit is designed to freely move through congested urban areas and through small parking spaces.
Despite its compact size, the new Honda Fit offers a versatile and spacious interior that offers a cargo capacity of a relatively larger vehicle. It also offers the lowest, flattest cargo floor among its peers in the subcompact class, and could accommodate cargo volume of 57.3 cu-ft. once the rear seats are folded down. It offers four seat configurations that could accommodate large objects like mountain bikes and surfboards. On the other hand, the 2012 Honda Fit Sport is gifted with newly designed front grille and bumper as complemented by black headlight bezels.
The alloy wheels of the 2012 Honda Fit Sport now feature a dark "machined surface" finish. While the entry-model Honda Fit has the same front fascia design as the previous model, it now boasts of body-color exterior mirrors and updated wheel covers. Meanwhile, the interior of the 2012 Honda Fit Sport now comes with dark metallic dashboard components for a more unified color theme as well as extra chrome accents around its instrument displays. All Fit models now have newly designed console-mounted center beverage holders.
Likewise, all Fit model now feature console ambient lighting that allows for easier interior access and better stability. In addition, all Fit models boast of a quieter and more-refined cabin, thanks to extra sound insulation measures in the floor, A-pillars, and front fenders as well as to thicker front corner-window glass. The 2012 Honda Fit could now be availed in two new colors: Blue Raspberry Metallic and Orangeburst Metallic.

Former member representing Biase at the Cross River House of Assembly, Hon. Ngim Okpo says the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State is now as good as dead; and there was now a mass exodus into the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
Okpo, who spoke with our correspondent at his hometown, Biakpan of Biase Local Government Area of Cross River served in the state house of assembly in the immediate past administration under the aegis of APC before he was ousted during his bid to seek re-election.
In the former lawmaker's words: "PDP is as good as dead, the people of Cross River State, we will make our choice appropriately."
"There's mass exodus into APC and I believe that this is the era where our people need governance the most and I think that the solution is in the APC," Okpo added.
Also adding that: "The people of Cross River State need more, the impact of governance and speaking frankly, I believe that some of the expectations of Cross River have not been met."

It's not that clear cut. Sony is actually distributing the binaries, but for a lot of potential contributors the GPL doesn't force anything: they use their derived work internally, never distribute it, so don't need to share any changes. One the other hand, they will often avoid GPL'd code because of the potential for it to affect their ability to turn something into a product later. In this case, they'll either develop their own or, more likely, license a proprietary version.
Without the legal constraint, there are still reasons to push changes upstream. Maintaining a fork is expensive. Bugs get fixed and new features introduced upstream and the more you've diverged, the harder it is to pull the changes. This is why Juniper has recently been pushing a lot of things to FreeBSD - they've realised how much it was costing them for JunOS to be significantly different to a modern FreeBSD.
Even with the GPL's constraint, there are lots of ways around it. Companies ship mobile phones with Linux kernels and binary display drivers, by only using the public kernel interfaces and loading the driver late in the boot process, with most of it running in userspace. At worst, they're required to release the code for their shim that exports the hardware registers directly to userspace. For other code, you can run it in a separate process and the GPL doesn't apply.
I asked that would he be so kind and tell me who they hired. He said that he couldn't tell me details.
This is annoying, but it's something that legal tells most companies. If you were not hired for some reason that is not directly related to your ability to perform the job, then you might have grounds for a lawsuit. It's best not to give out any information.
If you only got a free lunch, then you did the interview wrong. The trick with Google interviews is to make sure they take place in a country you want to visit. They'll pay for your flight, meals, and one night in a 4* hotel, and then you can tack on extra time if you want. If you visit somewhere where you have friends and can get free accommodation, then it's a good idea to go through it fairly frequently. Interestingly, even if you turn them down, their recruiters will start sending you emails about six months later about coming back to see if they have more interesting jobs for you.
For a lot of tech jobs, the answer to the second question would probably be 'no' for Woz, Jobs, Gates, Brin, and Page. That doesn't mean that they're not competent, it just means that they wouldn't fit in with the existing team, and that can be highly destructive to a creative environment. That same attribute makes them more likely to go and start a company, which also makes them less attractive to a big company: employees who leave to start a new company often take the best of their colleagues with them, so they increase turnover of the staff that you most want to keep.
The UK tech companies found it hard to export to the US
Because, at the time, the US government would only buy from US tech companies, and most big businesses had their purchasing decisions strongly influenced by what government bought (often for interoperability reasons), which influenced small businesses (for the same reason). Marketing in the USA required a big budget to get national penetration and there wasn't an obvious place to start.
In contrast, a tech company in California could start selling locally and then just expand slowly into more states. Their existing supply chain didn't need many modifications to sell things one or two states over. A British company trying to sell in the USA needed to establish a foothold somewhere. They needed to ship either components for assembly or completed devices to the USA.
Selling to mainland Europe required translations
Is that a big deal? Especially if you went for a few major languages, like German, first. I would think that European manufacturers would have been more used to the need for translations than American companies.
P.S. Wish I had mod points to bump up your post.
For a small company, the cost of translation can be the difference between making a profit and making a loss. You need a big investment to sell enough in France or Germany to recoup the cost of localisation. In contrast, a US company had an English-speaking audience on its doorstep and so could ramp up to economies of scale in the tens of millions of units before they needed to consider localisation. At this point, the incremental cost is sufficiently low that it makes economic sense.
You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements. -- Norman Douglas

Does Gender Moderate Medical Students' Assessments of Unprofessional Behavior?
- 295 Downloads

Despite widespread acceptance of professionalism as a clinical competency, the role of certain contextual factors in assessing certain behaviors remains unknown.
To examine the potential moderating role of gender in assessing unprofessional behaviors during undergraduate medical training.
Randomized, anonymous, self-administered questionnaire.
Ninety seven (97) third-year students from a southeastern U.S. medical school (participation rate = 95.1 %).
Using a 4-point Likert-type scale, subjects reviewed two subsets of randomly administered, equally weighted hypothetical vignettes depicting potentially unprofessional behaviors that could occur during medical students' clinical training. Ratings were categorized from 1 –"Not a Problem" to 4 –"A Severe Problem", based on the perceived degree of unprofessionalism. In each written scenario, trainee gender was systematically varied.
Across all scenario subsets, male and female students' mean ratings of hypothetical behaviors did not differ significantly. Further, male and female students tended, on average, to rate behaviors similarly regardless of the trainee's gender.
Study findings suggest that: (1) neither students' gender nor that of the hypothetical "actor" moderates the assessment of unprofessional behaviors; and (2) male and female students assign roughly the same overall rankings to potentially unprofessional behaviors.

Year 4 Class Teacher
I attended school in Londonderry, Northern Ireland before heading to Queens University Belfast where I studied for my Law Degree. I followed in my father's footsteps and became a lawyer, gaining further qualifications from the University of Northumbria and working in the family law practice for four years before deciding I was going to take my career in a different direction.
I decided I wanted to become a Primary School Teacher and so, I attended Oxford Brookes University to complete my Postgraduate Certificate in Education. After a great year there, I applied for a job in Hertfordshire and was successful in obtaining a position as a Year 3 Teacher in an 'Outstanding' School. I remained at Northgate School for four fantastic years before moving to the British School of Washington where I gained valuable experience teaching in an international school. After a great two years in Washington I was offered the exciting opportunity to teach in New York.
I am a big Sports Fan and in my spare time I enjoy watching most sports. I also still 'try' to play soccer and tennis as well as going for a run now and again! I enjoy reading, mostly thrillers and I enjoy watching the latest blockbuster movies and going to the theatre. My mum would say I never cook but I certainly love eating food! My parents still live in Northern Ireland, I have two older sisters, three wonderful nephews and two beautiful nieces and although the title is not official I am in their words 'the best Uncle in the world'!
I make learning fun, I am always willing to help them.
I am good at explaining things and they enjoy being in my class.
Before moving to America, I worked in a State school in England. The classes were much bigger and as a result it was often harder to achieve the personalised learning I strive for as a teacher. Being aware of how each child learns and makes progress is vitally important as they are all individuals who learn in different ways. It is obviously much easier to get to know your children better when the class size is smaller - a huge positive for the New York school. My previous school, the British School of Washington was an international school and part of the Nord Anglia network and so I have experience teaching in an international environment. In Washington it was great to see the different cultures and countries represented in the classroom and the children themselves often became a fantastic resource as they told each other about themselves. I am sure this international awareness will continue in New York. I have never taught in a school in the heart of a huge city like New York before but I am very much looking forward to the challenge ahead.

The Aussies have set up shop at the Matrix Theatre as a troupe of L.A.-based actors from Down Under aptly-named the Australian Theatre Company present the Southern California Premiere of the true-life coming-of-age/coming-out/coming-to-terms-with-AIDS play Holding The Man, exciting news indeed for Angelinos in search of quality theater Ozzie-style.
Based on Timothy Conigrave's memoir of the same name, Holding The Man proves a particularly fine choice for ATC's maiden effort, having already racked up over half-a-dozen major Australian productions (and one on London's West End), its inspiring story of gay love at the peak of the AIDS epidemic arriving simultaneously with Ryan Murphy's long-awaited screen adaptation of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart, a recent smash for our very own Fountain Theatre.
Timothy Murphy's skillful two-act adaptation of Conigrave's 300-plus-page book largely eschews Kramer's political agenda for the personal, but the results are no less gut-wrenching, though tear-wary audience members are guaranteed at the very least a full hour of joy and laughter before the reality of the 1980s sets in (sort of like how it was for those who lived through the heady days of gay lib only to have a plague test their grit and guts).
Canberra native Nate Jones never leaves the stage in a charismatic star turn as Tim, whom we first glimpse as a nine-year-old taking one small step towards gayness with schoolmate Kevin even as astronaut Neil Armstrong (the first of Alex "Jürgen" Ferguson's terrific puppets) takes that "one giant step for mankind."
Before long, it's teenage Tim who is breaking up with sort-of girlfriend Juliet by revealing to her his as-yet unrequited feelings for school football team captain John Caleo (Adam J. Yeend, the only other Holding The Man cast member to play a single role), whose "beautiful eyes, dark brown with these eyelashes" will continue to mesmerize Tim for the rest of his life.
It's thanks to Juliet's carefully planned seating plan at a small gathering of school friends ("We should pass a kiss around the table as a kind of bond…") that allows Tim and John their first smooch, and before long the sports star has agreed to "go round" (i.e. go out with) the aspiring student actor, a romance that soon becomes food for school gossip before leading to consequences on the homefront.
Still, when Aussie boys are as much in love as Tim and John are, parental confusion and/or disapproval seems a small price to pay, "uni" life opening the boyfriends' eyes to the gay world around them in both student activist organizations and gay bars, and the couple are still going strong five years into their relationship.
There is, unfortunately, the matter of Tim's roving eye (and cock), since unlike John, who'd be content if it were just the two of them on a desert island for the rest of their lives, the friskier of the two (and about to head off to acting school) finds himself losing his "identity" in their relationship and requests a "trial separation," i.e. the permission to fuck and suck to his dick's content.
If only there weren't those rumors of a "gay cancer" about to rear its ugly head.
Before long, the reunited lovers find themselves confronting a challenge they could never have imagined in their teen years, nor could any of their mates now facing impending illness and death in the prime of their young lives.
Despite its "historical" time frame, not only is Holding The Man not at all passé in 2014, like the aforementioned The Normal Heart, it provides a vital history lesson to a generation of young gay men unaware of what life was like only a few decades back and a potent reminder of the potential consequences of unprotected sex in a "post-AIDS" world in which bareback sex finds itself increasingly normalized.
Playwright Murphy has constructed Holding The Man as a sequence of short scenes moving lickety-split from one to the next, a quartet of supporting cast members dividing nearly three dozen featured and cameo roles among them, a technique that could easily—in less gifted hands than director Larry Moss's and the best-of-L.A. design team combining talents on the extra-wide Matrix stage—end up chaotic and confusing.
Not so at the Matrix, for not only is acclaimed acting coach Moss an actors' director par excellence, his visual sense makes Holding The Man as imaginatively staged as it is brilliantly performed.
Master scenic designer John Iacovelli's set is deceptively simple (straight-back chairs and a ladder on an otherwise empty black stage) but it is clearly an artist's design, the upstage wall cleverly concealing a series of character-defining wigs and knickknacks, though props are deliberately kept to a bare minimum.
Lit to perfection by Jeremy Pivnick with sound designer Cricket S. Myers tying scenes together with her accustomed expertise and Shon Le Blanc's period costumes (ingeniously accessorized for quick changes) completing the design package, Moss's razor-sharp vision for Holding The Man allows the production to rocket forward, with never a moment of boredom or confusion along the way.
Maturing believably from precocious pre-teen to bushy-tailed high schooler to devil-may-care 20something to older-but-sadly-wiser adult, Holding The Man star Jones does not shy away from the warts-and-all nature of Conigrave's self-portrait, yet never does the young Aussie lose sight of Tim's humanity as time, events, and an actor's powerful work reveal the depth of a man's love and devotion despite early evidence to the contrary.
Yeend is given considerably less to do as John, but what he does he does quite marvelously indeed, making Tim's need to stray a head-scratcher while at the same time making it easy to see why, when the chips are down, John is well worth any sacrifice that might be required of his lover.
As for the sensational Down Under quartet who bring the multitude of characters surrounding Tim and John to vibrant life, audience members can count themselves lucky to be making the acquaintance of silver-foxy Cameron Daddo, teen-idol-icious Luke O'Sullivan, girl-next-door captivating Adrienne Smith, and the simply stunning Roxane Wilson. Age/gender-bending to perfection in role after role after role, the foursome give us vivid vignettes of horny high school boys (the slumber party jerk-off sequence is a hoot), university queers, drama schoolers and staff, doctors, AIDS patients, and more queens than you'll find in any deck of cards. At one point the quartet even team together to play a car. That's right. A car! Daddo and Wilson deserve special snaps for creating two distinct sets of parents, O'Sullivan's turn as Juliet's mum is a particular keeper, and Smith gets extra points for acing her mostly male parts in addition to the lovely Juliet (Understudies James Monarski and Laura Pike merit a round of applause for undertaking the daunting challenge of covering every single role.)
Last but not least, mention must be made of the use of Ferguson's life-size puppets in Act Two, an inspired playwright's concept executed with devastating power by Moss and company.
Holding The Man is produced by Nick Hardcastle and Jones with Mike Abramson. Peter Blackburn is assistant director. Christopher Basile is stage manager and Angelo Domingo is assistant stage manager. Jackie Diamond is company manager. Jean-Louis Rodrigue is movement specialist.
When I first got word of Australian Theatre Company three months ago, I knew in an instant that whatever else might be playing on Saturday May 10, I would cancel everything to be at the Matrix for Opening Night.
Not only did Holding The Man fulfill my hopes and expectations, it exceeded them, and they were high indeed.
Welcome to Los Angeles, ACT. Stick around for a while. I can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve.

I just love the Geico caveman commercials. I love the commercial where the caveman is on the moving walkway and the cool music is playing, the song is Remind Me by Royksopp. I know this because it is on the caveman's iPod at the caveman crib. Geico has created a website where you can go to the caveman's apartment and poke around. It is pretty funny. Check out the Caveman's Crib. You can flip through his magazines, pester him in the shower, listen to his iPod and watch his TV. It is pretty funny little site. He seems to only have about 3 sayings for each thing that bothers him. Click around and find all sorts of things at the Caveman's Crib.

Hi everyone,
I found water dripping from the side of the furnace, but can't really see, where it comes from. But I do have a purifier installed (previous owner), and it appears, that if I activate the purifier (and I believe I then also de-activate the heat), that it stops dripping. So I'm inclined to believe that the purifier has something to do with it.
Any ideas?

The government in Iran has declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner in last Friday's election, finishing far ahead of his closest challenger, reformist Mir Hossein Mousavi. The election results have sparked charges of a rigged election and violent street protests by angry Mousavi supporters.
Following are some samples of U.S. blogger opinions on the Iranian election and subsequent protests:
Growing Dissent
"Despite the increased repression of recent years, Iran has witnessed a growing civil society movement and increasing calls for greater freedom. Indeed, those in the Iranian regime correctly recognize that the biggest threat to their grip on power comes not from the United States or Israel, but from their own people. Civilian-based insurrections have played a critical role over the past century in challenging Iranian rulers, such as during the Constitutional Revolution of 1907 and the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. Iran's clerical leaders, faced with growing dissent -- particularly among youth, women, the middle class, and urban dwellers -- realize that they may be next." --- Steven Zunes, Chair of Mid-Eastern Studies program at the University of San Francisco in the Huffington Post Blog
The Police State
"We are right to call on President Obama to speak out in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi and the courageous opposition." "And we are right to remember that Iran is not a democracy, however vibrant its culture, but a police state, and that the Iranian people are subjected to appalling oppression." --- Michael J.W. Stickings in The Reaction

As Walkers global managing partner Grant Stein says of the negative coverage being levelled at the offshore world: "It's based on fiction."
Yet the weight of the campaign being waged against the offshore sector is such that the top offshore firms are having to consider their response and how they deliver their message to the clients.
The urgency of this matter has become more intense since headlines are now focusing on companies that are moving away from offshore jurisdictions.
When international insurance broker Willis announced it was considering redomiciling to Dublin from Bermuda it was perceived as a blow for the offshore island. Yet lawyers on Bermuda insist that it will not trigger a wider trend of defections and that in reality it will have little impact on business on the island.
Nevertheless, they are aware of the importance of outside perceptions – after all it is what attracts new business to the jurisdiction.
Offshore countries have spent much of the year ironing out transparency agreements with their onshore counterparts.
The Cayman Isles, Bermuda and Singapore were among the major jurisdictions left off the grey list of jurisdictions that fail to comply with international financial regulations, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in April (14 April 2009).
All have taken steps to get off the grey list, which is reserved for those countries that have "committed to the internationally agreed tax standard, but have not yet substantially implemented the measures".
In August both Cayman and the British Virgin Islands entered into Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs) with New Zealand. It was the 12th such agreement signed by the jurisdictions and saw them both elevated to the white list, showing they endorse transparency of an internationally agreed standard.
Singapore, meanwhile, has signed nine of 12 TIEAs needed to get it off the grey list. This includes agreements with the UK, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and Denmark. It is on track to reach the white list before the end of the year.
All this signals that jurisdictions are willing to cooperate. "Why doesn't this get reported in the British press," asks one senior lawyer visiting the UK from Bermuda. "Is there really so much concern about what's happening in Bermuda? Why?"
Global managing partners are well aware that the issue of tax, in particular tax avoidance, is a political hot potato. Regardless of whether these jurisdictions caused the economic collapse, they will be held jointly accountable and tax is the key issue.
This is why it is so important for those jurisdictions to make their voice heard.
In July, Stein called for greater cooperation between offshore firms to enable them to respond with one voice to the criticisms levelled at their clients.
It is understood he is currently in negotiations with a number off offshore firms, including Conyers Dill & Pearman, about putting together a coordinated PR front to beat off the rhetoric.
There is much work to do and not everybody is on board – one rival managing partner questioned whether conflicts would allow several firms to come together. Yet, with so many politicians aiming their sword of truth offshore it is about time somebody led the fightback.

BBQ Sauce
BBQ Sauce
BBQ sauce is a simple recipe which you can alter and experiment with as you go along. It is mostly used either as a dip or a marinade.
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree or 2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 large tsp mustard powder
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
150 ml water
Heat the oil and cook the onions until they are translucent. You can add a clove of garlic for extra flavour.
Add all the other ingredients and bring to a rolling boil, except the tomato, which should be added last and beaten into the mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes.
This recipe has no salt, but you can add 1/2 teaspoon to keep it for about 2 weeks in the fridge. You can whizz the sauce to produce a smooth dip. However, it is great added to pork on a BBQ just as it is!

Steph Curry has had an amazing year with The Golden State Warriors. In Monday's game against Oklahoma City Thunder, in which Curry hit seven three pointers, and Klay Thompson hit six.
The two worked together to bring in a 96-88 Game 7 victory, also they both also surpassed the previous record of 28 made three pointers during a single playoff series.
Despite Reports, Stephen Curry Says Knee is 'Fine'
Overall, Steph has finished the series with 32 three-pointers made, and Klay finished with 30.
The two were a dream duo last night, having carried the team to victory, with Thompson falling right behind Curry as the player with the most threes made in an entire season (Curry has 402 under his belt, and Thompson has 276).
Thompson received praise from team owner Joe Lacob during Game 6 when he single handedly carried the team to a win.
We're sure the two have more cooked up for the upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Everything We Had
Summary: What if Bella hadn't taken Edward back after he returned? what would have happened? Would he be able to take her back? Based during New Moon. My first Twilight fic so don't be too harsh :)
Disclaimer: If I really owned Twilight, do you think I would be wasting my time writing fanfics? I think not! So as you see, everything belongs to Stephenie Meyer...unfortunately.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist-Everything We Had; The Academy Is...
''I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.'' Edward said to me. We lay in my bed, my body pressed up against his cold, marble statue. He looked deeply into my eyes, his coal into my chocolate. He was hungry. I was hungry too, but not for blood or food, but for love. But I couldn't. I wouldn't. As much as I loved him, I just couldn't take him back. Not after what he'd done to me. What I had become."I won't contest your decision. So don't try to spare my feelings, please- just tell me now whether or not you can still love me, after everything I've done to you. Can you?" he whispered."
"I...Edward I just...I can't." I softly said. His eyes read pain. I tried my best to hold back the tears that were already coming to my eyes. "I love you. I really do. More than anything in the world-in the universe, and I will never love anyone else, but I just can't. I wouldn't be able to survive if you left me again."
"I could never leave you again, Bella. I would never want to, or be able to." Edward whispered to me. His words rang with truth, but I still didn't believe him. I had believed him when he said he didn't love me too, and look where that got me.
"You killed me Edward. You killed me in the worst way possible. And I can't let you kill me again. Things only just started getting better. I can't just start all over again." The tears were now flooding down my face. Every time I tried wiping them away, it seemed twice as many came in return. "And I couldn't even show it, Edward! I had to be happy! I had to be happy for Charlie, and Renee, and I had to keep going. I had to go to school, and cook dinner, and do my homework, and go to work, and do everything like I always did like everything was OK, like I was OK. And I'm not OK, Edward!"
"I'm not OK either, Bella. But we can make each other OK. We can make each other better than OK, we can be perfect and happy. I love you." I felt Edward's ice fingers wipe my tears away.
"I can't love you anymore, Edward. It hurts too much." I whispered before turning away from him. I felt the weight on the bed shift as he got up.
"I'm sorry." I didn't realize he was gone until I finally turned back around, 5 minutes later, and the room stood empty, the window open. I slowly closed my eyes, drifting back to sleep, fresh tears softly rolling down my face.
I sat silently eating my cereal. Or more so picking up spoonfulls of cereal and letting them drop back down. The cereal had become soft and soggy from sitting there 15 minutes without being eaten. Charlie had already left for work, and it was too early to leave for school. Alice had gone back to the Cullen home with everyone else. Including him. No! Stop it! You are not going to think about that Bella. Think of something else. Something happy...but there is nothing happy. Now he's back and I'm going to have to see him everyday, in every class, and pretend like I'm doing perfectly fine without him. If anything, I was worse. Because now he was around, he just wasn't mine anymore. And it was all my fault. He still loves me, and I love him. But I had blown it because I'm too afraid. Too afraid to lose him again.
Yesterday felt like years ago. I had sat next to him on the plane, he had kissed my wrists, my hair, my forehead. He had held me against him in bed, like so many months ago. And he still loved me like so many months ago. But he had still left me, so who says he wouldn't leave me again? Him. He says he would never leave me again, that he couldn't. I want to believe it, I really do but I don't. It's like when your little and you first find out there's no Santa Claus. You want to believe it so so badly, but you know he isn't real. And yet still, a little part of you still believes, just to have something to believe in. I chuckled softly to myself. He was my Santa Claus.
I looked up at the clock. It was still pretty early to show up at school, but I had nothing better to do. Except wallow and cry of course, but I didn't particularly want to do that. He'd see my bloodshot eyes instantly, and I wouldn't let him see that. I couldn't let him see that. I slowly grabbed my bag and walked outside to my truck. It was raining as usual, but it seemed like the sky was just as sad as I was. The loud roar of the truck suprised me, although I knew I should be used to it by now. I drove silently to school feeling particularly empty with no sound, and yet at the same time I didn't want any sound. I didn't want to listen to any music, and I definitely didn't want to talk to anyone. I just can't win. But I'm used to it, when have I ever won before?
I slowly parked the truck and trudged to my first class. I was the first student in the classroom which I certainly didn't mind. That meant Edward wasn't here yet. I sat down in my spot near the back of the classroom and doodled random nonsense on my notebook. I hadn't noticed the time pass until I looked up to find Mike Newton standing in front of me, and the majority of the other students in groups talking to each other loudly.
"Hey, you're back! Where were you?" Mike asked me happily, as usual.
"I...uh," What was I supposed to say? I wasn't going to tell him the truth, but I didn't particularly want to tell him the lie I told Charlie either. Mike looked at me, waiting for an answer. Then, he walked in and swiftly and quickly went to speak to the teacher. Mike looked up at him and a look of knowing appeared on his face.
"He's back?" He asked, with a barely noticeable amount of anger in his voice. They never really had liked each other much. I just nodded, not speaking. Mike silently went over to his seat as Edward walked down the aisle of desks to the empty seat beside me.
"Hey, Bella." He said barely more than a whisper as he sat down.
"Hi." I managed to choke out before going back to my doodling, this time with more pressure than before.
The class seemed to go by even slower than usual. Edward didn't try to speak to me, picking up that I didn't, or rather couldn't talk to him. When the bell rang, I expected Edward to instantly rush out of the classroom like he used to, before we had first "gotten together" but he waited for me as I slowly picked up all of my books. We silently walked to our next class together, catching stares and whispers when people saw that he was back, and probably assumed we were back together. But we weren't. As much as I would love we were, we weren't, and we never would be. I would go on forever (or more the rest of my life since the chances of me being a vampire now were even slimmer than before) without him. I almost started crying just at the thought, but I shook my head trying to erase it from my mind.
"What are you thinking?" He asked me.
"You don't want to know." I said simply. and I knew he didn't. Because if he really loved me like he said, he was just as upset about not spending forever with me as I was. But he didn't love me. He couldn't love me. People don't leave the one they love no matter what. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself...
"Yes I do." He replied looking me in the eyes. We were seated now, and the class was just about to start.
"Well we don't always get what we want, do we?" I said and turned away. He was quiet after that, and I felt bad. I didn't apoligize though. I don't believe in sorry anymore. Sorry doesn't have much meaning after it's been said thousands of times throughout a lifetime. It's not hard to say, even if you don't mean it. Even I can say sorry and look believable, despite my lack of lying expertise. Sorry doesn't fix things. It definitely doesn't fix hearts. Sorry is just a word to make people feel better about themselves, knowing they did as much as they could. Or so they tell themselves.

We've said it before and now, with the Ducks' season officially toe-tagged, we're going to shout it one more time:
Teemu: ONE MORE YEAR!!!
We're like everyone else around here and throughout hockey, actually. We think Teemu Selanne is still too good and appears to be having too much fun to retire after that season. Think of it this way: If Selanne does step aside, how worse off would the Ducks be?
That tells you exactly why Selanne shouldn't retire. Not only are his skills still largely intact, so is his value. That can be said of few 40-year-old pro athletes.
Yes, Selanne's too good, too skilled and too special to leave us now.

text: Question: I see AKAIO 1.8.9 on the AceKard website. I have a 3DS and it says based on the "Getting Started Guide" that if I want to update this firmware, I would need to update it with the firmware update? I obviously will have a fresh MicroSD (nothing pre-loaded). I'm assuming I have to install/drop the files from AKAIO 1.8.9 then drop the Update for 3DS? There is no "fresh" install of 3DS one drop file? In addition, since this will be a brand new 3DS, I'm assuming it's not going to be updated to the latest 3.x version so can't I use my 3DS to perform these updates or do I need an older DS/i still? I thought if my 3DS was already 3.x version then I would need a device that is of lesser version that hasn't been updated? Please help. Last question, when all is said and done. Since my 3DS is (hopefully) of lesser version than 3.x I can then now update my 3DS with 3.x BUT, if I ever want to do this whole process again, my 3DS is out of the question because it will have 3.x version on it. Right? Thanks in advance?

Live the Language is an ongoing series of promotional travel videos from the EF International Language Centers.
The first time around, the group released videos for London, Paris, Barcelona and Beijing. The second series of videos features a similar setup — "the films portray students as they arrive at their schools, make new friends, and begin "living the language". Everywhere they go they communicate in the local language and pick up new vocabulary" — only this time the students travel to Vancouver, Sydney and Los Angeles.
The travel aspect of the videos are pretty great as they manage to capture that exciting and frightful feeling of being in a new city, not speaking the language and those strange cultural differences that make each place unique. But what really makes them special are the illustrations with gorgeous artifact-style typography by Albin Holmqvist.
Los Angeles
Director Gustav Johansson really captures the vibrancy of the cities. If you don't hear from us for the rest of the day it's because we've already packed our bags and are heading to the airport. And yes, we recognize these are nothing more than commercials, but they are gorgeous and they suckered us in.

New DST Sketch and More
Hey All!!!
I wanted like crazy to get this posted on Friday (the 24th of June) in keeping with a promise to maintain a connection with the webpage and blog and YOU GUYS stuff, but being as I'm often given to bouts of extreme duuhhhh, I ended up having to wait until I could get someone to do it for me (always the princess). Either way, here's some "art"… i hope you enjoy it.
With this little piece, I'm just basically playing with styles and colors and junk… Wanted to see how DST would look w a more animated, Saturday morning cartoon kind of approach. I for one, dig the hell out of it… The Bassist is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy simpler that usual (and he might be my favorite). The others have a bit more detail and thinner line work going on. Though they aren't all the same, I feel as though they play well together and it does me ailin' heart good to see it. The colors were tough as I've NEVER really thought of them that way and… it's just weird… I dig the the purple on Dev. Jerrick could use a little more flash, so i think i might be playing in this vibe for a little while… just to see where it takes me.
Okay, hit me back and let me know what you're thinking or doing with yourself these days… I'm all ears… and love (as always) 🙂
Oh yeah! Please join me in welcoming Torreon Martin to the fold… He hit me up via the Facebook last night (or shall i say way friggin' early this morning). I haven't had a chance to respond to him, but will be doing so this evening. Torreon and I met at Megacon 2011 and believe it or not, he remembered me, so I'm flattered and honored and looking forward to pushing my robots in his grill all nonstop like… so show him some love, he's gonna need it.
Alright, I'm zapped and busy, so Im gonna bounce. Be sure to take care and TALK TO MEEEEEEEE.
Up and out,

So, my S.O. and I got to talking about Red Bull the other night. Neither of us drink it — he doesn't like it, and my heart would probably explode if I looked directly at a can of it for too long — but somehow the topic of Red Bull and bull semen came up.
Somehow, long ago, there was a pervasive myth that Red Bull energy drinks contained bull semen. This probably has something to do with Red Bull containing taurine, an amino acid most people don't think too much about (but was one of the drink's selling points). Taurine was first found in cattle bile, hence the name "Red Bull," but theirs is synthetic. At some point, I think "an amino acid derived from cattle bile" took a spin through the Rumor Mill and became "Red Bull is just chock full of bull jizz, my dudes."
Anyhow! My S.O. and I were talking about a post he'd seen perpetuating the myth, and he was trying to dig up the Snopes article explaining why Red Bull being some kind of bovine spank sauce was, no pun intended, a cock and bull story.
Let me preface this by saying that I have a weird job (and no, it doesn't even involve masturbating cattle). I accept assignments from people I've never met or spoken to before, I write articles about them, I send them away, and money appears in my bank account. Most of these assignments are things I would never, ever think to delve into on my own, like the natural range of pine borer beetles. Or cow insemination.
So, naturally, my response to him was, "Never mind that. Have any of these people actually seen what a unit of bull semen goes for?"
Because, for real — it's not cheap. The fact that there's no special substances found in bull semen and literally only one use for it (as this article points out) notwithstanding, who's gonna waste it on soda?
It's a lot like the "McDonald's hamburgers use ground earthworms as filler" story. I can guarantee it is only believed by people who have never had to buy bait or raise worms. Likewise, if you're shelling out actual money for units of bull semen to put in soda, you're going to end up charging a pantload more than four bucks a can.
Like the Snopes article about McDonald's points out, rumors don't have to make sense — our imaginations get captured by the gross-out factor. Usually, though, even the most compellingly disgusting rumor doesn't really hold up when you look at its monetary practicality.

Chrissy Teigen sparked a pretty intense Twitter debate this morning when a clip from Billboard Music Awards red carpet interview with E! News' Giuliana Rancic started circulating and it appeared that she was rolling her eyes at Iggy Azalea.
Before we get into the nitty gritty, here's the clip:
All right, we know what it looks like. They're talking, everything is great, they do the cheek-to-cheek kiss and they're about to stroll off into the sunset...and then they're interrupted by an eruption of cheers and applause when Iggy walks by and...cue the eye roll.
Things aren't always what they seem, though, and Chrissy took to Twitter to let everyone know that she was not throwing shade at our girl Iggy or nearby Britney Spears, for that matter.
And while she wasn't throwing shade at either of the two singing sensations, she did throw a little tiny bit at everyone speculating that she was, when she followed up with:
people really running with this eye-roll thing. john whispered something to me and i reacted. first you said britney, now iggy. give it up.
