Blackberry Smoke opens for Zac Brown Band at Blossom Music Center
After more than a decade on the road, Southern-rock act Blackberry Smoke has learned plenty of lessons — one of which took place a few years ago when the Atlanta-based band came through Northeast Ohio.
"The last time we played the Beachland Ballroom people from the neighborhood just made themselves at home on our bus," said singer-guitarist Charlie Starr, calling from his Georgia home. "I walked in and thought somebody was a friend of a band member. Eventually it got a little odd. I said, 'Who are you guys? Do you know us?' They were like, 'No.' One of them had left and stolen a bottle of Jack Daniels and somebody's iPod."
The closest the quintet comes to larceny these days is with the band's recently released third studio effort, "The Whippoorwill," which was aped in style and approach from one of the all-time great albums.
"I was personally sitting around thinking we need to make the Southern version of 'Exile on Main St.,'" Starr said. "It was really as simple as that. Something organic. We wanted it greasy and funky and under-produced."
Known as more of a straight-ahead rock act, the outfit landed in Ashville, N.C., at a recording studio that was a converted church armed with dozens of diverse songs. The result is something Starr calls a real album experience with material ranging form back-porch, funky anthems to "fast and knock your teeth out" tunes and greasy mid-tempo songs.
Overall, it's an auspicious start for the band, recently signed to Southern Ground Records, which is the personal label of Zac Brown. Apparently it paid off that Blackberry Smoke opened dozens of dates for the Zac Brown Band over the past few years.
In fact, Starr said his outfit was basically homeless, label-wise, when Brown offered to sign the group to Southern Grounds. Now comes the fun part for the two acts as they're touring together this fall. Blackberry Smoke opens for the Zac Brown Band Sept. 29 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls.
What's unique about the pairing is the headliner's country radio-loving audience may not be used to the Southern rock grind, akin to the Allman Brothers with even hints of The Black Crowes, that Blackberry Smoke creates on stage. Starr admits this has led to some interesting crowd reactions.
"I pretend they think we're all fantastic," Starr said. "It's very possible the 18-year-old blondes in the front row think I'm a grandpa, but who knows. It's good. We make their booties wiggle and that's the goal."
As for Blackberry Smoke's upcoming return to Northeast Ohio, you better bet Starr and company learned their lesson. Continued...
"That's right," he laughed. "Now we lock our doors."
Who: Blackberry Smoke opening for the Zac Brown Band.
When: 7 p.m. Sept. 29.
Where: Blossom Music Center, 1145 W. Steels Corners Road, Cuyahoga Falls.

A pop icon such as Madonna has the world as her oyster. There's no denying that the singer turned actress has had a few moments in the sun as an actress in the cinema world but When it comes to her direction and writing, the sun simply refuses to shine – And with good reason.
In W.E., Madonna attempts to tell the story of King Edward VIII's affair with American divorcée Wallis Simpson, while trying to connect it to a modern day affair between a trophy wife and a security guard.
To be as blunt as a rusty axe, Madonna should never step behind a camera. Her insistence on using every perceivable technique and camera angle served as a distraction and nothing else. Perhaps she should have bought a couple of gallons of crazy glue to add some sense of cohesion to the story she was painfully trying to tell. With the aid of Alek Keshishian, she managed to take what could have been a wonderful biopic of Edward VIII, and turned it into a convoluted mess.
She luckily had a decent cast to work with, all of whom managed acceptable performances within the confines of the uninspired script.
The picture quality is decent as is the audio. There are no special features to indulge in, so if you're a fan looking for a little bit more (why??) don't get your hopes up.
Bottom Line: Nothing to see here but a horrendous film.

Anchorage Police Getting New Patrol Cars with Kevlar PanelsDepartment asking state for additional funds for more protectionANCHORAGE - The Anchorage Police Department will be adding more protection to patrol cars next year. Deputy Chief Steven Hebbe said right now the department has enough money to buy 50 new patrol cars that will be outfitted with Kevlar on the driver's side door panel. APD is also asking the state for an additional $135,000 that would allow the department to purchase 50 more cars with Kevlar panels on both the driver's and passenger's sides. Each door costs around $1,300 and Hebbe says that's a small price to pay for the protection. "One of the most dangerous times for an officer is when he's arriving on scene on various calls. Police cars can attract attention both good and bad. Giving the extra safety that Kevlar provides, we think it's a low-cost way in improving our officers' safety," said Hebbe. Another security measure that could be coming soon is cameras in patrol cars. Hebbe says APD has the funding in place and is pricing systems with different companies. About 180 cars are scheduled to get cameras and Hebbe says that will like start happening at the beginning of 2013. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Friday, Nov 16 at 9:16 PM from Mayberry to this? somethings not right....hired thugs from the government to take more money out of your pocket Inappropriate?

Question then become, "Who are the police preparing to defend against?" Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Nov 16 at 9:58 PM The kevlar panels are not for your defense. Ask Officer Jason Allen. $65K for 50 cars is peanuts compared to what the taxpayer shelled out for his medical bills after the bullets that hit him passed through his car door. Perhaps a little more common sense and some compassion for those risking a bullet for you. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Nov 17 at 1:11 AM Go to work where local gangs, drug dealers, violent offenders with guns, etc., have no problem shooting or stabbing you on sight, then ask the question "who are the police defending against?" The ballistic panels are designed to save lives. The people who wear a badge and serve our communities save lives. People like Norm give me pause. His comments lead me to ask the question, "Why does Norm Olson not want the police to have ballistic panels?" Maybe because like his friend Schaeffer Cox, he wants to make sure that those who protect our communities from people like Shcaeffer Cox, are vunerable. Inappropriate?

Im currently riding a 5,6 SP and loving it . I want to get a Baked BP either a 5,5 or a 5,7.
My question is , is the 5,7 BP more lively and vertical than the 5,6 SP?
I am 42 years old inter/advanced 83kg.
I got the 5,6 over the 5,4 SP because the wave that I ride this board on is a soft right point break with fast and slow sections that can be difficult to connect right though so I have been riding higher volume boards that drive fast down the line and can connect sections more easily. I find that the 5,6 SP is plenty loose enough for me but is getting past the upper end of what is recommended on the volume calculator with the 5,7 BP being a little more again. My concern on the 5,5 BP is that it might not have the drive I need but the volume at 36 litres looks good.
Looking forward to some feedback
Cheers Russ

Greg, while many agree with you, and you certainly have the right to call him whatever you want, do keep in mind that when you openly call Obama a "Muslim Nigger" you are only giving the opposition ammo to use against you, that is why the left gets away with calling us all bigoted racists turning much of the population against us, we have our guns, but they have politics, public opinion, and the mainstream media, don't feed the machine.
the un is pussys we had to hold their hands for all combat operations, to this date to the history of the un. America created them and we can take them out any time, once our navy figures this out, and the army, and the marines, America will wake up and then the mighty military states will rise and overcome. America might be law abiding citizens, but they rally together and prepare at home along with its protectors they will prevail. and soon as the shit starts watch how may expose the enemy's of the United States of America.
Revolution draws closer. We will not stand for a Muslim Nigger to disarm America !!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I receive information regarding orientation?
A: The New Student Orientation & Leadership Programs Office is located in Civic Engagement Center (Wildcat Student Center), Suite # 2, which will provide the primary information regarding New Student Orientation. The orientation office may be reached at (386) 481-2141 or email email@example.com
Q: Why is orientation required?
A: New Student Orientation is a tradition at B-CU. It is designed to provide important information related to academic expectations and campus resources (e.g., financial aid, student accounts, on-campus living, student health, and other related information.) The major outcome of orientation is for all students to become enrolled satisfactorily by completing the registration process, which is inclusive of creating a fall schedule, financial aid packaging, and payment arrangements.
Q: Must I attend both the "summer" and "fall orientation programs?"
A: Yes. Students are encouraged to attend one of the three summer orientation sessions. However, participation in fall orientation is mandatory.
Q: When and how can I sign up for Orientation?
A: Once the Enrollment Fee and Summer Orientation Registration fees are paid, new students will receive an "Orientation Letter," which will include orientation dates and other pertinent information. The B-CU website also provides important orientation forms.
Q: What is my University ID number?
A: Maintaining a safe campus environment is an important value and practice of B-CU. One manner of safety is the security of a student's social security number. Each student is given a B-CU "PIN NUMBER" as a personal identifier in lieu of using the social security number.
Q: How can I pay my Orientation Registration Fee?
A: The Registration Fee of $75.00 is made payable to Bethune Cookman University and must be mailed to: B-CU 2012 Summer Orientation, 640 Dr. Mary McLeod Blvd. Daytona Beach, Florida 32114-3099. Click here to register online. A cashier's check or money order are the only forms of payment via mail; however, a Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover Card, Check, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Cash payment is arranged through the Cashier's Office, (386) 481- 2292.
Q: What if I am unavailable to attend any of the dates open to me?
A: Fall New Student Orientation, which is held in August, is mandatory.
Q: Can I sign up on the same orientation date as my friend?
A: Yes.
Q: What if I need to change my confirmed orientation date?
A: Contact the New Student Orientation/Leadership Programs Office at (386) 481- 2141 or email@example.com
Q: Can my family attend orientation with me?
A: While family members are welcome to visit the campus during orientation, most activities are centered on students, though parents/guardians are welcome to participate and would likely be pivotal during the financial aid process and billing.
Q: What do I bring to Orientation?
A: Refer to the confirmation letter for a listing of all needed items, which will be sent by the New Student Orientation/Leadership Programs Office.

I've said on the air previously I support this bill; I think the consumer should be able to choose. I still feel that way, but I do find the reader comments on this story interesting. My belief is if the consumer wants to risk drinking raw milk, it's their risk to take. A number of readers say despite the way the bill is crafted, farmers will be opening themselves up to lawsuits if they start selling raw milk.
My answer is, yeah, probably. But I would also argue they are agreeing to that risk the same as the consumer. Regardless of whatever the buyer signs, or whatever immunity is placed in the bill, farmers need to realize that somebody will claim they didn't understand the risk and expected the producer to protect them. The producer has the choice not to sell raw milk and needs to be as informed as the consumer.

GUILDERLAND — Despite rampant rumors about threats of school violence last Friday, the day went "very smoothly," according to Superintendent Marie Wiles.
However, the absentee rate at the high school was 28 percent.
"Some of that could be because it was the day before the winter break and people had travel plans," said Wiles, also noting illness was widespread.
The absentee rate at the middle school was 13 percent, and at the five elementary schools ranged from a low of 7 percent at Altamont to a high of 12 percent at Westmere, with Lynnwood, Pine Bush, and Guilderland falling in the more normal range of 10 or 11 percent, said Wiles.
"I had many calls from parents asking if it wassafe for their children to come to school today," Wiles said on Friday afternoon. She told the parents it was "absolutely" safe.
School leaders worked closely with the Guilderland Police Department, Wiles said, to investigate the rumors and determined that they were "not a credible threat."
She explained, "If it were credible, the police would have gotten information on who, what, when, and how," she said. "There was none of that."
Guilderland Police Chief Carol Lawlor said there were many rumors circulating. "We tried to track each one down," she said. "Somebody heard kids talking or somebody got a text," she said. "We followed up on every one and couldn't pinpoint a specific person with starting them."
She described the rumored threats of violence as "generic," giving this example: "Someone's bringing a gun to school on Friday and shooting it up."
Nonetheless, police officers were stationed at the middle school and high school and traveled among the elementary schools on Friday, she said.
Lawlor said that, in the wake of last week's shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., there were similar rumors in schools across the country. Locally, she knew of such rumors at Shaker and Ballston Spa. Wiles knew of similar rumors at Bethlehem and Sharon Springs.
And the Berne-Knox Westerlo Superintendent, Paul Dorward, sent a letter to parents on Dec. 20, stating there was a rumor students were planning an incident at the BKW secondary school. Dorward wrote that State Troopers and the Albany County Sheriff's Office worked with school leaders and had "quickly and thoroughly investigated this rumor and have determined that there is no danger to students or staff at BKW." (The italics are Dorward's.)
Wiles posted a similar message on the Guilderland School District website on Dec. 19.
In the electronic age, said Lawlor, "there are so many more means of communication. Someone hears something and sends a text or Facebook message. Electronic communication brings more rumors to our attention."
Lawlor stressed, "We absolutely did pay attention. Officers tracked a lot until we felt confident there was no credible threat."
Lawlor had this advice for parents: "Do all you can to monitor what your kids are sending or receiving. Nothing is too small; we'll look into anything."
Along the same lines, Wiles said, "We ask parents to talk to their children about spreading a rumor. In this day of social media, with one click, it goes exponentially…. That's an educational piece we can work on and are working on."
Once before, also on the day before a vacation, Guilderland High School experienced a high rate of absenteeism after rumors had circulated electronically. On Feb. 13, 2004, attendance at the high school was down 20 percent after e-mails raced through the student population, spreading rumors, including some that said neo-Nazis or skinheads were going to fight African-American students and others that said they were going to fight with Hispanic students. The day was uneventful.
The next month, administrators held a meeting at the high school attended by about 200 concerned parents.
Wiles said this week, "Thinking about how we keep children safe is a high priority. It's only part of the solution, though. The whole community has to come together on this — how we teach our children to use technology, how we monitor what they do and where they are."
Wiles said the media — often with minute-long reports that lack depth or balance — makes the matter worse. "There's no follow-up," she said.
Wiles concluded, "I don't know any place that can be guaranteed 100-percent safe and secure — not our homes, not a movie theater…"
As far as keeping schools safe, she said, putting an armed policeman at every school, for example, would mean resources would have to be taken from somewhere else in a era when budgets are tight.
"If you spend your resources locking doors," she said, "you won't be able to use it to teach the way information should be used and what should be passed along.

More information on Ibipirapuera Park in São Paulo
Description: Ibipirapuera Park in São Paulo
With 1.5 million square meters, this is the most frequented leisure area in São Paulo. It has paths for walking and jogging, bikeways, woods, lakes, sport courts and areas for relaxation that attract city residents of all ages. It receives up to 150 thousand visitors on weekends. There are other important attractions at Ibirapuera, such as the Modern Art Museum, the Biennial Art Exhibition building, the Oca art exhibition pavilion and the Japanese pavilion. It also has frequent free music presentations by national and international artists. Ibirapuera was inaugurated in 1954, during the celebrations for the city's fourth centennial. Oscar Niemeyer, renowned Brazilian architect, designed several of the buildings. Watch joggers, dog-walkers and all kinds of street vendors, and sit down on a patch of grass and listen to the birds singing. One of the few places in São Paulo where you can do just that. If you feel like it you can even enjoy a Caipirinha from one of the cardbord-box bars you will find close to the entrances. Also buy the sweet and tasty coconut/nougat-sweets that are sold by many vendors in the park. Nearest Metro is "Vila Mariana" and then a short taxi ride, a bus or a 20 minutes walk down the Rua Sena Madureira. You also can walk for around 20 minutes through Brigadeiro Luiz Antonio Avenue, from "Brigadeiro" Station (Green Line), in Paulista Avenue. You also can take a bus from the station, until the park.

Arizona School Choice Program to Expand
by Bethany MonkArizona lawmakers have approved the expansion of a ground-breaking education savings program that allows parents to choose where to educate their children. The legislation is on its way to the governor's desk.
The Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, passed by lawmakers in 2011, lets parents of qualifying students in kindergarten through 12th grade use scholarships to attend private schools, enroll in online education or obtain private tutoring.
"This program is on the cutting edge of the school-choice movement in that it gives parents a high level of choice and control in picking the best education options for their kids," said Candi Cushman, CitizenLink education analyst. "It operates a lot like a medical savings account allowing parents to choose how to spend the funds — whether that's homeschool supplies, a private school. If there is money left over they can even use it for college expenses."

Encrypting mail in Thunderbird
Key Issue
Combining the Enigmail add-on and the GnuPG encryption software gives Thunderbird users a powerful tool for encrypting and signing email.
Email communication has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. In addition to private correspondence, it is standard to send business messages by electronic mail. Of course, this means sending all kinds of confidential information across the wire, but you will be hard pressed to find anybody who really worries about the security of this medium, even though messages typically are transmitted in the clear to the recipient. This said, encryption is not exactly rocket science; in fact, thanks to modern software, it is quite simple and convenient.
The Add-On
Enigmail is an add-on for the Thunderbird email client and takes most of the responsibility off the user's shoulders. To do so, the add-on relies on the widespread GnuPG encryption software, which enjoys an reputation for security and supports the OpenPGP standard.
In this article, I will show you how to set up Enigmail and GnuPG and how to use the combination of these two programs to encrypt and sign email under the Ubuntu 7.10 distribution. However, the approach is almost identical for most Linux distributions.

[Solved] Responsive image wider than fluid parent element
I've got the following problem:
In a responsive design with percentage widths, I want all content to have some space left and right. So I gave the parent container some padding instead of giving every content element a margin.
Here is an example Pen.
The problem is that I want some big images with a specific class to fill out the full width of the container. With fixed widths I would just give it a negative margin and increase the width accordingly.
But as everything should be percentage based, I can't figure out the best way to do it. I got it working with just playing with the width values but it doesn't feel right.
Any ideas?

Chinese-Canadians reluctant to join military, study finds |
Chinese-Canadians reluctant to join military, study finds |
Aug 7 2011, 08:21 PM
AF Pro Group: Members Posts: 1,093 Joined: 11-August 05 From: USA |
More new Canadian citizens hail from China than almost any other country in the world, but military brass in Ottawa are facing an uphill battle in persuading a significantly greater proportion of Chinese-Canadians to embrace a career in the armed forces. Chinese-Canadians are among the fastest-growing visible minority groups in the country, and the Peoples Republic of China has ranked first or second as a source of new citizens in recent years. But getting Chinese Canadians to don a uniform isnt easy part of the same challenge the military faces with all visible minorities even as the country becomes more ethnically diverse. Statistics Canada says those who consider themselves Chinese represent about 4 per cent of the population. The Canadian Forces, on the other hand, say soldiers identifying themselves as Chinese make up 0.4 per cent of the militarys regular force and 1.2 per cent of its primary reserves. A recent report prepared for the Department of National Defence sounds a potentially discouraging note, though, predicting that the prospects are limited for attracting a greater proportion of Chinese-Canadians. The 2011 report by Ipsos Reid Public Affairs said its going to be difficult to recruit more young Chinese-Canadians in part because their parents dont see the profession of soldiering as sufficiently upwardly mobile. The results of this research suggest that the degree to which efforts to promote careers in the Canadian Forces among the Chinese-Canadian population can be expected to achieve success will be limited, as a result of the cultural beliefs and career preferences of the Chinese-Canadian community, the March, 2011, report said. The Forces will encounter a considerable challenge in effecting a significant shift in the cultural mindset of the Chinese-Canadian population and a continuing challenge in their efforts to recruit Chinese-Canadians into the military in the same percentage as they are represented in the overall Canadian population. The research found that although young Chinese-Canadians are just as likely as the general public to say they would consider joining the Forces, their parents and other members of their community are far more reluctant to endorse such a career path. The report, based on polls and focus groups, found that Chinese parents prefer to see their children enter traditional high-income-paying professions such as medicine, engineering, law and business and dont see the military as a route to this. Chinese-Canadians told researchers they see the military as an avenue out of poverty and a last resort for those unable to gain entry into university. The Ipsos research is part of a three-year study of the attitudes of visible minorities towards the Forces. Helen Poon, who emigrated from Hong Kong seven years ago, is happy to see her 13-year-old son, Cowin, serve as a Canadian Forces air cadet to learn skills and discipline and to stay busy. But the Markham, Ont., mother doesnt want her son to become a soldier one day. I do not believe in war, she said. Cowin himself also doesnt want to sign up when hes an adult, saying he doesnt want to use weapons and enter a field of battle. His mother estimates there are probably over a hundred Chinese-Canadian kids in her sons Richmond Hill, Ont., air cadets squadron. But, she guesses, 99 per cent of their parents dont want their children to enlist in the military either. King Wan, a Vancouver naval reservist and president of the Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society, said Chinese immigrants overcame prejudice more than 70 years ago to make strong contributions to the Forces a record that has continued up to the combat mission in Afghanistan. Mr. Wan, part of a military advisory group on recruiting minorities, agrees, however, that Chinese-Canadian parents have to be persuaded to take a fresh look at the militarys benefits. Not everybody can be a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant, Mr. Wan said. There is a an opportunity for any youth, be it ethnic Chinese or whatever, to learn a trade or get professional training through the armed forces. The Department of National Defence is sanguine about the challenges, predicting results down the road. The Chinese community is no different than any other immigrant community in that the first two generations are working primarily on stability rather than choosing careers, [and] parents have a strong influence on employment, based on perceived potential remuneration, spokesman Marie Tremblay wrote in an e-mail. The younger generation will join the Canadian Forces if they see someone who looks like them [and] we are not at that tipping point yet for many minorities. Retired Lieutenant-Colonel Howe Lee of Burnaby, B.C., said recruitment has improved significantly over the past few decades, though, noting that a Richmond, B.C., reserve regiment, for example, has significant Chinese-Canadian membership. Theres no life like it A March, 2011, Ipsos Reid report for the Department of National Defence says the Canadian Forces face significant barriers to increasing recruitment among Chinese Canadians: [Focus group] participants often said they did not see the military as an obvious career choice for two key reasons: because Chinese-Canadian families tend to be close-knit and a military career would require them to move far away on a long-term basis; and because a university education is an expectation of many parents, and the Forces are not necessarily seen as a good way of getting one. A common view was that if a person did not have the grades needed to get into a university and did not otherwise have good job prospects, the military might seem like an attractive option worth the physical labour and risks involved. For more recently immigrated Chinese-Canadian participants, this reflected their experience in China, where, they said, military recruits often tend to be poor, rural villagers with few other prospects for employment. |

in general i think chinese people are more pacifist than other groups. I think a lot of Chinese males lack aggressive personalities. At least, that is the case with the Chinese that I have seen. By Chinese, I am talking about ethnic Han Chinese so that includes Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the overseas as well as China. However, bad tempers can be common amongst them though. |

Why join military and fight for the RICH and POWERFUL CORPORATIONS, when you can try and think about creating a business, or creating a company and maybe one day you too can own a POWERFUL CORPORATION with powerful lobbying groups lobbying the military to do all your dirty work.... The military is only a last resort for failures in life... While people who have higher standers wont go that low to fight for the Rich Corporations... I would rather be Rich and have a bunch of retards dieing for my corporate cause than to be a FOOL....

I'm Chinese-Canadian myself. My friends and I have all considered joining the military, but in the end none did so.
One thing is that we have our sights elsewhere - law school, med school, etc. The time commitment required by the military is too much. Another thing is that, whether justified or not, there's a perception that being Asian might be difficult in the military - Afterall, there ain't a lot of us in there. I feel that it's a good idea for more Chinese people to join the military. It would consolidate our claim to part of greater Canadian community. |

That kid sounds like a coward. War is ugly but with how evil humanity is, there will always be war. You may sh_t your pants on the battlefield, see your friends have their limbs torn off in front of you, have your own limbs possibly blown off, etc. etc. However, willingly joining knowing that this could happen to you is one of the most noble, honorable, and brave things one can do to protect friends and family. It doesn't matter what country you are from. Joining the military willingly and being willing to sacrifice your life for another's is admirable. Being a coward and hiding is exactly what it is -> being a fuking coward. Of course, you could be smart and join as an officer, meaning that you are not in the direct line of fire or do intelligence work instead. That way you are the one directing the troops on the ground. No guarantee that you will not be sent to the front lines though.

There won't be many Chinese Canadians joining the military, just because the career prospects and the remuneration is not as attractive as the private sector. Simples.

QUOTE Society increasingly tells us that were all winners, that we should avoid bad things, hide our children from the possibility of failure, and surround ourselves with giggles, sunshine, and rainbows. And people are buying it. Everyone gets a trophy. Parents are harder on teachers when their kids fail than on their children. And when anything bad happens in their lives, its never their fault its the corporations, or the government, or bad luck.
It all sounds great. It sounds inclusive. It sounds loving. It sounds kind. The problem is that all of that is bull$hit. The world is a harsh place and the most successful people in the world fail big and they fail often. But they continue along their path regardless, getting up after every failure, replacing successes with the next challenge as soon as they complete it always looking forward. And then theres an even more elite group, the less than 1% of all Americans who join the military. They abandon the world theyve always known and ask to see the harsh reality of the real world. Theyre tested in Spartan conditions, told to rely on only their wits and their friends around them, starved, deprived of sleep, and asked to put aside their personal desires that which society claims is most important in order to take care of their brothers and sisters in arms. Still others search for more. The test of service alone isnt enough. They want the harshest possible test a test that remains the same throughout the course of mankind the test of the infantryman. Can they survive in any condition? Can they fight any enemy on any ground and win? Can they walk away from the technological advances that our larger weapon systems provide and meet the enemy man-to-man with only their rifles and knives and emerge victorious? I cant possibly top Heinleins description of who we are and what we do: We are the boys who go to a particular place, at H-hour, occupy a designated terrain, stand on it, dig the enemy out of their holes, force them then and there to surrender or die. We're the bloody infantry, the doughboy, the duckfoot, the foot soldier who goes where the enemy is and takes him on in person. We've been doing it, with changes in weapons but very little change in our trade, at least since the time five thousand years ago when the foot sloggers of Sargon the Great forced the Sumerians to cry "Uncle!" Maybe they'll be able to do without us someday. Maybe some mad genius with myopia, a bulging forehead, and a cybernetic mind will devise a weapon that can go down a hole, pick out the opposition, and force it to surrender or die--without killing that gang of your own people they've got imprisoned down there. I wouldn't know; I'm not a genius, I'm an M.I. In the meantime, until they build a machine to replace us, my mates can handle that job--and I might be some help on it, too. |

So basically you only care about money and want to be one of those bastardly people causing all of humanity's problems. Way to spread the stereotype that Asians are materialistic as fuk. Huh? We are just following western capitalism! The cool thing i like about capitalism is that all the dirty nasty $hit is done behind the table and not known to the public, because if the public do know then capitalism would be 10 times worse than dictatorship. In fact every capitalism contains multi-dictatorship. While a dictatorship country only contain 1 powerful dictator, a capitalism it contains multi-powerful dictators, corporate armies, lobbying groups, etc. etc. It is a good thing that the public is stupid and dumb to realise this, and it would be even better for that to stay this way in the future. Well continue to and slowing manipulate humanity to death with advertisements, materialism, promote racism through news media targeting certain groups of race, promote race fighting and race hate by spreading hate through powerful news and media organizations, non-profit organizations, corporate advertisements by promoting certain race as superior by spreading their image throughout advertisements, hollywood media promoting womens as nothing but objects of sex, bla bla bla... soon the world will bow down to the all mightly Lucifer. in the future everyone should have a RFID chip, if you dont accept it then youll just die of hunger. Forgot to add, well also destroy all the race and diversity throughout planet earth with promotion of race mixing. Making people think that race mixing = diversity, while in face race mixing = destroying diversity. Such stupid humans dont you think? they dont even have a logical brain to know that mixing red color, green color, blue color and dumb them all together and mix them all up will turn out to only 1 new color. that one new color will be the final product. Then we can say good bye to diversity. Sometime we just laugh at how dumb and stupid humanity is, so easy to manipulate these fools. This post has been edited by phop: Aug 8 2011, 02:35 PM |

Sephora had some very awesome sets this winter season. Bite Beauty has a couple of great sets that didn't not require any wrapping. The article was too much fun to look at. It made me want to shop. I really geeked out on the Fresh set.

I am a huge fan of packaging!! I love fresh Sugar the glosses slide on soo smooth and they are extremely hydrating, and not heavy!! I love Philosophy but I'm not into "sweet" smells, I would love that gift set if it was in Amazing Grace or Pure, I prefer clean smells. I Love the Too Faced Kit and the MAC Gloss Kit! I especially Love the Tarte Kit! The packaging is beautiful! I love Tarte makeup!! I also like the full fragrance house packing, very unique! And the Lorac Kit! They are all so amazing and pretty! I really like candles, but I hate it when I get them as gifts.

With just the packaging alone, I would LOVE all of them! My favorite is the MAC and the Too Faced gift set. I'm afraid if I buy them, I'd end up opening them and using it myself. I deserve it!

I was very tempted to buy myself the MAC, Tarte, and Too Faced sets :P They're a fabulous value and super cute.

These are some great sets! I bought the MAC guilty passions lip gloss set (in a different color range) and it is lovely and a great value. The Josie Maran argan and L'Occitane almond sets look wonderful too. I love the L'Occitane almond range so a set is a great idea.

I nearly purchased the Mac lipgloss set but the sales girl was so disinterested in helping me. I'll have to go back and get it.

very nice gift sets! They're pretty pricey though...and the ones under say $25.00, while nice, aren't my idea of a gift (blotting papers?! LOL). As nice as they are, I wouldn't spend that much on myself let alone someone else. I know its the holidays but really, the average person is still being nailed by the recession.

Trailer for Bloodlines is Here!
I'm super excited to finally share my trailer for Bloodlines! Big shout out to Pain Images for their fantastic work pulling it all together. Love you guys. :)
Here's a sneak peek at an unedited excerpt:
Evin had been cocky as hell in front of Mason. But the truth was, he was anxious as shit.
A year had passed since his father had banished him from the pack and he'd moved to Dover. Twelve months of jacking off alone in his bed. And the loneliness was driving him out of his mind. But no one in town had even peaked his interest, and a string of anonymous one night stands weren't Evin's thing. They had a nasty tendency of making an empty bed feel even colder.
There was something different about Mason, though. The human definitely peaked his interest. From the moment Mason had walked into his bay, Evin had been coiled so tight and his dick so hard, he was surprised he'd been able to form a coherent sentence. The spiced scent of Mason's skin made his blood hot. The way those damn linen pants hugged Mason's ass when he moved had Evin's cock aching for release. Shit. No other guy had ever gotten under his skin so quick. But it had been all Evin could do to keep a handle on his control and not grab the man by the back of his head, spin him around, and fuck him until Mason knew who he belonged to. Whoa. Where the hell had that come from? He shook his head.
Evin turned left on Hwy 211, heading out of town and toward his cottage. After rounding a curb, he pulled onto the shoulder, and set the brake.
"Why are we stopping?"
"If I turn around now, there's a hotel about two miles in the other direction." Evin shifted in his seat and faced Mason. Even though the moon served as the car's only source of illumination, Evin's perfect night vision allowed him to drink in the rich hue of Mason's dark eyes. A striking contrast to the short layers of golden blond hair that shimmered under the beams of moonlight. Evin tightened his hand around the leather covered steering wheel. He had to. Or in the next second, his fingers would be wrapped in those locks, finding out if they were as soft as they looked. But he knew one touch would never be enough to satisfy the craving about to drive him out of his mind.
"Is that what you want, Evin? Would you rather I choose the other end of the road tonight?"
Yes. Because I've gotta bad feeling you're going to be a taste I'll never get enough of.
No. Because I think I'll go crazy if I don't touch you.
"I think it's pretty clear what I want." Evin reached out and trailed a forefinger along Mason's cheek. The coarse sensation of Mason's shadow of a beard shot through Evin's skin like a bolt of lust aimed straight for his cock, forcing him to bite back a hiss of pleasure. Mason turned into his touch, taking Evin's finger knuckle deep inside his mouth.
And sucked.
Evin couldn't hold back the groan that rolled from his throat. "Tell me what you want, Mason. Say it."
With a final swipe of his tongue over the tip, Mason released his finger with a pop. "I want you to fuck me."

Until someone actually beats the Ravens I can't pick against them at home. The crowd, their confidence on offense etc. I see some talking about Peyton and past performance but that really doesn't matter. He won't have a running game and while he is playing well he doesn't have the talent yet on that Denver team.
Suggs was talking the other day about how perhaps we have gotten too wrapped up in stats. He pointed out where have the top defensive ratings gotten us. He also pointed out the Pats went to the SB with the 31st ranked defense.
This team is ranked about 20th on offense and 25th on defense yet we are 8-2. This team seems to know how to win and under Harbaugh we have been very good in November and December. The Ravens could lose in SD without Reed. But after that I could see them running the table. Don't ask me to explain it I just have a feeling about it.

DB Step Durham (5-11 185) of Jacksonville, FL has offers from North Carolina, NC State, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Nebraska, Tennessee and Minnesota with interest from USC, Georgia, Florida, Florida State and Notre Dame among others. He has visited USC several times and is showing interest in the Gamecocks. "Steve Spurrier, Jr. has come by to talk to me and told me he wants me to come down for a visit," said Durham. "I've visited there two or three times. It's a great program that is close to competing for championships." Durham visited FSU last weekend for a junior day. "They're a lot like South Carolina in that they're competing for championships. Both are great programs." Durham does not any favorites. He had three inceptions as a junior.

Hard Road (mono version)
CD (Item 579906) Deram/Sundazed, 1967 — Condition: New Copy
A killer album from one of the most legendary versions of John Mayall's Blues Breakers – a quartet that features drummer Aynsley Dunbar, bassist John McVie, and lead guitarist Peter Green – who's also singing a fair bit on the album as well! The style here is tighter and more focused than before – showing a bit more of a rockish bent, especially on the guitars – but still strongly drenched in American R&B traditions, served up in a way that never waters down the sound for a mainstream audience. While other UK artists were taking American roots and softening them up for the charts, Mayall only seemed to deepen his commitment to more authentic representation of the styles – really only taking a bit more liberties with the strength and length of guitar parts. As before, there's a bit of reed work here that's especially nice – served up by UK jazzers Ray Warleigh, John Almond, and Alan Skidmore – and titles include "A Hard Road", "It's Over", "The Stumble", "Dust My Blues", "There's Always Work", "The Same Way", "The Supernatural", and "Living Alone". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

1.) Celestia receives Applejacks letter.
2.) Back to the Derp
3.) Pinkie Testa
Didn't you post back to the derp a couple of days ago?
This is the kind of posting times I like over here in the UK. Usually there's nothing between 9 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon.
Awesome! You're actually posting at reasonable times now, Seth! Nothing like ponies at lunchtime.
And most of the stuff I send you guys gets lost, that or you haven't bothered replying >.>
And this is why I stay up late.
I like the third one, t'was funny in a humorous sort of way.
But that was the most amusing letter yet, she wouldn't get sent to the moon for that.
Poor Applejack.
So fan animations get group posts like music now? Wow.
Loved the first one
Already seen the second one
What is the difference between the real Flash animation and a youtube video?
Apparently as much as checking if things has been posted before.
they always seem to finish with the shows actual outro..
Loved the first one! Something we all saw coming but still hysterical. Saw the second days ago and the third was pretty funny as well.
Fanimations FTW.
The top one is funny cause its true, how many more ponies will get to live on the moon ?__?
don't forget to read the details on back to the derp as the creator put a wallpaper of kill dash in there
#1 That's what you get for being right!
#2 Oh goodness, I think Pinkie just stuck a cupcake in my eye!
#3 Pwned.
At 2:52 on the third one the bugs briefly spell OBEY.
Oh my gosh. That first one. PERFECT.
But at the end of the second one, I jumped. I thought it stayed silent at the end after Rarity's bit, opened a new tab, when the siren-noises played. Sadly, my first thought was along the lines of "OMG I DON'T WANT TO DIE WHAT IS HAPPENING".
