This is the last weekend before the Feasting on Art Recipe Contest deadline. Submit your entries now to be in the running to win a copy of the cookbook, Food of the Louvre.
Historically, the pomegranate was used to symbolise fertility due to the mythical origins of the fruit. As related by Silvia Malaguzzi in her book Food and Feasting in Art, the god Acdestis, violent and lustful, was "handed over to Bacchus, who got him drunk. Once Acdestis had passed out, Bacchus tied up his feet and genitals. When Acdetis woke up, blood seeping from his genitals formed the pomegranate. The fruit was taken to the nymph Nana, who became pregnant by it and gave birth to Atys" (1). From the outside, the pomegranate is a fairly inauspicious fruit. It was not until I sliced it open, the crimson juice staining the cutting board and splattering on my clothes, that the corporeal aspect of the fruit was revealed. Within the iconography of the Christian Church, the pomegranate represents the blood of Christ. The name is derived from the Latin pōmum meaning apple and grānātus meaning seeded. Beating a section of the fruit with the back of a spoon yields a scattering of round ruby seeds. The pomegranate is sometimes thought to be the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, similar to the 'garden of paradise' of Qur'an where the ancient fruit with the jewel-like seeds grew (2).
Jacob van Hulsdonck, Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Pomegranate, c.1620-40
oil on panel, 42 x 49.5 cm, The Getty Collection
Jacob van Hulsdonck was a native of Antwerp who spent a large portion of his life in Germany where he began his artistic studies. Upon his return to Antwerp at the age of 27, he joined the local painters' guild. Van Hulsdonck specialised in still life painting, becoming a master through his carefully rendered details. In Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Pomegranate, the rough texture of the citrons is meticulously depicted. Small droplets of water lay scattered on the table and cling delicately to the leaf of the orange in the bottom right of the panel. According to the Getty Museum, the blue and white porcelain bowl dates from the Wan-Li period of the Ming dynasty (3). Painted from a high vantage point, the majority of the fruit bounty is visible in the bowl, preserving the fleeting life of the natural products.
{Orange & Almond Cake with Pomegranates & Poppy Seeds}
Adapted from What Katie Ate
Yield: 8 servings
1 1/2 cups almond meal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs, separated
juice of 2 oranges + 1 orange, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
seeds from 1/2 pomegranate
1/4 c almond flakes
pinch of poppy seeds
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 8-inch cake pan with baking paper and set aside. In a large bowl stir together the almond meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir in the egg yolks and orange juice until just mixed, being careful not to overwork the batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Carefully spoon 1/3 of the egg whites into the cake batter, folding gently to loosen the batter. Scoop the remaining egg whites into the batter and stir until they are just incorporated. Pour into lined baking pan and slide into the oven for 4o-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and lift out of the pan by the baking paper. Peel off the paper and set aside on serving platter.
Meanwhile, de-seed the pomegranate and set aside. Juice the remaining orange into a small saucepan, adding any pulp from within the orange halves. Stir in the sugar and mix until it is dissolved. Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Scatter the pomegranate seeds over the top of the cake along with the flaked almonds. Add the poppy seeds to the orange juice, swirl to mix and drizzle over the cake, covering the top evenly. Serve warm and keep in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.

Matthew 5:33-37 The book Jim recommended is I Will Give You Rest by Edward Kurath.
When engaging in life together, sometimes, relationships take a wrong turn. Friendships are wounded. When this happens, we easily slip into our old ways and revenge feels natural and acceptable. Jesus shows us another way, the way of relentless grace.
Primary passage:
1 Thessalonians 5:15

Up at 5:00 AM so Michael could shoot an Outer Banks lighthouse at first light. Those of you who know me well will either be impressed or astonished, but yes it's true, I was up at 5:00 AM – voluntarily. Michael packed his cameras, I packed water and the dog, plus my pillow – just in case (yeah right!). We pulled out of the driveway at 5:30. Michael drove and I napped until we arrived at the Bodie (pronounced body) lighthouse about 30 minutes before sunrise.
The sky was just beginning to lighten and Michael took some fabulous shots of the lighthouse in silhouette with the sky just beginning to show color. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We then hiked out on a boardwalk and up to a platform so Michael could catch the light as it lit the lighthouse. It was an extraordinarily beautiful dawn, mostly clear with some clouds for interest and color contrast.
The Bodie Lighthouse is just south of Nags Head at the start of Hatteras. It is at the edge of a beautiful marsh area, so the setting is spectacular and a photographer's dream – beautiful scenery and nothing obstructing the views. We stayed until the sun rose over the low laying cloud cover and then a little bit more to see how the golden color would wash the lighthouse.
Michael got some beautiful shots of the lighthouse, the marsh and, of course, the sky as it turned from deep orange to pink and then blue.
Each lighthouse has different markings so sailors can identify it from far away and know where they are in relation to the shoreline. The Bodie lighthouse has black and white horizontal stripes.
We jumped back in the car and continued south. This time I drove and Michael rested his eyes as we continued to head towards Hatteras village at the end of this Outer Banks peninsula. We were on a scouting trip to see the Hatteras lighthouse. We knew that it would be too light by the time we arrived – you really want early morning or late afternoon soft light to get the most detail, but we often check out a site on one trip and then go back to photograph on another trip once we know which direction the light needs to be in to get the best shot.
We arrived at the Hatteras lighthouse just before 9:00 AM and Michael took a couple of test shots. Mick and I walked around the deserted park looking for other places for Michael to shoot. Michael liked the look of the original lighthouse keepers house. Before automation, keepers had to live on site so they could service the lighthouse every two hours to keep it running – kind of like having a new baby! It has been widely reported that this was a very lonely existence, but this house had a plaque that said the Hatteras lighthouse was very popular with the locals who came by often, especially on Sundays, to visit and escape the inland heat.
Ten minutes later, cars started coming into the lot and a small tour bus arrived. This was exciting for Mick because so many people had Irish Setters when they were kids so they had to come over to give pets. Others are on vacation and missing their dogs, so they needed to come over as well and tell him how beautiful he is. Mick has such a hard life!
After the lighthouse, we headed to the beach because there was a Kite Surfing contest going on. We didn't see any actual judging but there were lots of kite surfers out in the rough water practicing. I learned that the kites are inflated on the front ridge (which is what keeps them rigid in the wind) and got to see how the kite attached to your body with a body harness so the surfer is holding on only to steer the kite. Men and women, both young and older were flying across the waves. It was very cool. After Michael got some pics, we headed on to the end of Hatteras island.
Hatteras Village is a small and sweet village and it looked like they had a good museum commemorating all the ship wrecks in this area which is known as the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' because of all the ships that went down off the coast of the Outer Banks. We didn't go in because we had Mick with us, maybe another trip. We did have an early lunch of good shrimp burgers at a local deli right next to all the charter fishing boats. Not a lot of activity going on off-season, but still great so see all the big boats. From here, we started to drive home – and it wasn't even noon yet! What a great morning.

The Super Bowl is a massive event which attracts billions of television viewers worldwide.

This park, better known as the Center for Environmental Development and Recreation or CEDAR, is strategically located in Impasug-ong, 45 minutes north of Malaybalay City. CEDAR is just a few kilometers away from the the jump off site enroute to Mt. Kitanglad and the splendid Sumalsag Caves. I have been to this place several times, to relax and wash up, after several days of hiking in the mountains of Bukidnon. The icy cold waters of this creek is a natural cryotherapy for sore muscles from days of hiking.
Together with some very eager Pinoy Travel Bloggers I went back to this place with a purpose- to take photos of the three imposing falls and creek inside the park. It's not that I didn't enjoy my previous visits here, because I certainly did. When you're tired though, you tend to overlook the beautiful surroundings around you. This explains why I wasn't able to get good photos the last time I went here. I'm busy nursing sore muscles!
It was one glistening, hot afternoon when we started to hike from the park center towards the creek. Thus, despite the thick forest canopy, I was quite hopeful I'd get enough ambient light for my instant shots The unexpected drizzle just before we "plunged" into the trail going to Gantungan falls, got me all worried. There was heavy downpour the last time I went here, and the creek and water swelled into a chocolate colored mudslide. So its pretty dangerous and difficult to get photos when its raining.
Luckily the drizzle stopped and so sunlight showed again.
First of the falls you would see is Gantungan Falls. Gantungan Fall was the only falls that stuck in my mind during my previous visits here. To get a good vantage point of this falls, you have to go down on a separate trail, trek the creek and swim a bit in a shoulder deep waters just meters away from its catch basin. From it's source to the last falls, this waterfall seem to be the shortest and smallest but it's catch basis is also taunted as the deepest. Never tried dipping into this falls as have this weird feeling of "falling of a falls" every time I go near one. But I'm addicted to visiting falls. 🙂
Natigbasan Falls is what most intrigued me. Hidden mostly and is elusive because of the so many obstacles (vines, branches, vantage points) to hurdle just to get a fair shot. It is by far the coziest if you see this photo of Journeying Pinay, by Tupe the Trekero. It is albeit mysterious, hiding a cavelike catch basin under its huge waterfall that is rumored to be perfect for swimming. Perhaps, it got its name from the big, plateaud rock near the falls where you can sit and get hypnotized by the "falling waters". Journeying Pinay would swear the sight here is more than enough reason for you to go back, even if it's a bit risky.
But Dila Falls was the big surprise for me that day. Never had the chance to see this falls before because of the flashfloods. When we went down the creek several meters away from its catch basin, I was stunned by the sight. Good ambient light, perfectly set, wide catch basin, leading rocks and enough shades , that was all I need for a good shot. I hopped from boulder to boulder just to get a fair view. I finally set my tripod a few meters away from the falls and flew away with my shutter. I can see a wide grin brewing in my face! 🙂
Some of the travel bloggers I'm with, even went nearer just to see the wonder! So if your in Bukidnon, never let go of any opportunity to see this site. My several visits here never fail to surprise me! Or these travellers!
Malaybalay City can be reached via three routes- from Davao City Ecoland Terminal by Rural Bus Transit bound for CDO, via Cagayan De Oro City via Rural Transit bound for Davao and from General Santos City/ Tacurong City via Rural Transit bus. From Malaybalay City you can ride a bus or multicab going north to CEDAR in Impasug-ong. It's just along the highway and you won't miss it.

Discuss the internal conflict/dilemma that Hamlet struggles with in this speech.
How all occasions do inform against me. And spur my dull revenge! What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse. Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and god like reason to fust in us unus'd. now, where it be Bestial oblivion or some craven scruple Of thinking too precisely on the event, A thought, which, quarter'd hath but one part wisdom and ever three parts coward, I do not know Why yet I live to say "This thing's to do;" Sith i have cause and will and strength and means to do't. Examples gross as earth exhort me: Witness this army of such mass and charge led by a delicate and tender prince,whose spirit with divine ambition puff'd makes mouths at the invisible event,exposing what is mortal and unsure to all that fortune,death and danger dare,even for an egg shell.Rightly to be great is not to stir without great argument,but greatly to find quarrel in a straw when honours at the stake.How stand i then,that have a father kill'd,a mother stain'd,excitements of my reason and my blood, and let all sleep, while, to my shame. I see the imminent death of twenty thousand men, that, for a fantasy and trick of fame, go to their grave like beds, fight for a plot whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, which is not tomb enough and continent to hide the slain? O! from this time forth, My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!

- list Cite
The speech you cite occurs in Act IV, Scene 4 of Hamlet.
Just before Hamlet speaks these words, he has been talking a captain from Fortinbras' army. He learns from him that Fortinbras and the army mean to fight over a worthless piece of land in Poland.
Upon hearing that, he starts to scold himself in the speech you're talking about. His internal conflict is whether he wants to avenge himself for his father's death and his mother's dishonor or not. He is unhappy with himself because, as he notes, the army is willing to spill blood over something worthless while he hasn't done anything to avenge his father's death and his mother's dishonor (something very important).
So, his internal conflict is that he really feels that he ought to do something to take revenge, but it's pretty much against his more reflective, philosophical nature to do so.

CREW's Melanie Sloan Issues Statement on House Democrats' Ban on Private Contractor Earmarks
WASHINGTON - CREW executive director Melanie Sloan stated today, "CREW applauds
House Democrats for finally recognizing that the American public is
tired of watching members of Congress trade earmarks for campaign
contributions. This is a terrific first step in breaking the link
between campaign dollars and legislation." Sloan continued,
"It is ironic, of course, that this action follows so close on the
heels of the House Ethics Committee's PMA report, which found no link
between contributions and earmarks, but then again no one really
believed that anyway."
Independent media has become the last firewall against government and corporate lies. Yet, with frightening regularity, independent media sources are losing funding, closing down or being blacked out by Google and Facebook. Never before has independent media been more endangered. If you believe in Common Dreams, if you believe in people-powered independent media, please support our critical Winter campaign now and help us fight—with truths—against the lies that would smother our democracy. Please help keep Common Dreams alive and growing.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting ethics and accountability in government and public life by targeting government officials -- regardless of party affiliation -- who sacrifice the common good to special interests.

Hi Erik, Relevant and readonly attributes on xf:controls? Really? There might be some really good use cases that the W3C is looking at to consider this but my first reaction is, "ewwwww". Relevancy and readonly-ness is the state of the instance node and the control is just reflecting that state. Why would a control be relevant or readonly if it isn't bound to data? I can see a form author wanting to make a button appear or disappear easily with an attribute since the button isn't bound to instance data, but they can already do this with CSS. Or heck, they can use a native widget from the host language and use the attributes that that native widget already supports. Nothing wrong with having a xhtml:button in a xhtml document or a xul:button in a xul document. You can listen for a DOMActivate on a native widget just as easily as on a xf:control. I guess that I just don't get the value of adding attributes like this to the XForms spec. Can you give an example? Thanks, --Aaron Erik Bruchez wrote: > > Guntis Ozols wrote: > >> In real life, for me it means that I have to create helper instance + >> helper >> bindings (bloating, again), just to manage relevant/readonly for buttons, >> because there is NO node in instance data with proper values for these >> attributes.

notice:I am playing the game if it happens to me I will make sure to get it fixed by the developer.
No: 1 I am NO @#* **** TROLL!
No: 2 Only 1 account
No: 3 I have had a lot of bad luck today, not sure if that would explain it though.
And NO I didn't dream it.

Lost 2 weeks of work, and feeling ROBBED
Sorry but no one is giving any thing to any one.
you have to try again.
or play a similar better game with a lot of people @shellshocklive2

|[en] Infinite-state systems ; symbolic representations ; number-set representations
|[en] In order to compute the reachability set of infinite-state models, one
needs a technique for exploring infinite sequences of transitions in
finite time, as well as a symbolic representation for the finite and
infinite sets of configurations that are to be handled. The
representation problem can be solved by automata-based
methods, which consist in representing a set by a finite-state machine
recognizing its elements, suitably encoded as words over a finite
alphabet. Automata-based set representations have many advantages:
They are expressive, easy to manipulate, and admit a canonical form.
In this survey, we describe two automata-based structures that have
been developed for representing sets of numbers (or, more generally,
of vectors): The Number Decision Diagram (NDD) for integer
values, and the Real Vector Automaton (RVA) for real numbers.
We discuss the expressiveness of these structures, present some
construction algorithms, and give a brief introduction to some related
acceleration techniques.

Authorities are investigating complaints by family members of prisoners in Chihuahua, Mexico that they have been forced to pay extortion fees in order to get visitation rights, highlighting the rampant corruption in the country's prisons.
Family members of prisoners at the State Social Rehabilitation Center 3 (Cereso Estatal 3) in Juarez have said they have to pay up to $150 per month for the right to visit their jailed relatives, and to prevent the prisoner from being subjected to punishments, including strenuous physical activity, beatings and solitary confinement, reported El Diario de Juarez.
They also claimed that prison guards organize "parties" in which prisoners are forced to pay $37 to watch naked women dance, some of whom are female inmates (a plate of meat and two beers are included). If they cannot pay within two days, another $23 interest is added; further punishment comes to those who take longer.
Jorge Chairez Daniel, the spokesman for the state's prison system, said he has not received any formal complaints but acknowledged the difficulty of monitoring the 500 guards working at the facility. The Juarez Attorney General's Office will begin investigations into the complaints, reported El Diario de Juarez.
InSight Crime Analysis
The case highlights the dire nature of Mexico's prisons, and the corruption that allows these poor conditions to flourish. The country's severely overcrowded prison system is rife with abuses, including the denial of the right to a fair trial, cases of torture and beatings, and the inability or desire to prevent violent uprisings. Prison guards were also accused of involvement in a major Zetas prison break in Nuevo Leon in 2012, one of many instances of corruption and collusion.
While human rights violations are rampant, the Cereso case is interesting because it involves extortion by prison guards and the targeting of family members. Extortion is a word commonly associated with Latin American prisons in general, but it is usually the prisoners themselves involved in the act. Powerful inmates who effectively run prisons in Mexico, Venezuela and Honduras force their fellow prisoners to pay taxes in exchange for a range of services. Prisoners in the region also run extortion schemes outside of jails, using cell phones to exact fees with the help of accomplices on the exterior.

Hi, my name is Rachel.
I opened two Titan theme blogs -
http://rachelwallach.wordpress.com - English blog
http://racheliwallach.wordpress.com (note the i) - Hebrew blog
I paid $30 on each blog in order to be able to customize colors, fonts etc.
On the English blog everything works nice and smooth.
On the Hebrew blog the tab of the custom design which opens on the right doesn't open correctly and its right half hides most of its left half. I cannot change colors for the blog and I cannot fix it - I moved between chrome, safari, explorer and firefox to no avail.
Could anyone please rescue?
Thanks a lot (: Rachel
The blog I need help with is rachelwallach.wordpress.com.

With the SQUIRE 11, MARKER has planned everything for the lightweight riders to be at the top of security and look this winter.
Its frontal toe piece Triple Pivot Compact and its Hollow Linkage heelpiece provide a very light and compact construction while being very robust. Thanks to the sliding plate adjustable in height, the frontal toe piece adapts optimally to all the soles even the most worn ones. With its design and explosive colours, the MARKER SQUIRE 11 is the first choice for young and lightweight freestylers in general.
- DIN adjustment: 3 to 11
- Standing height without ski: 22mm
- Triple Pivot Light toe piece: The newly designed, compact toe features a horizontally inserted spring. Together with the gliding plate, the gliding elements integrated into the sole holders ensure a very precise release behaviour, which is comparable to all other MARKER bindings. Why should touring and freestyle skiers have to compromise? An aluminium bridge on the top provides additional support without adding any extra weight.
- Anti-friction AFD plate: Anti Friction Device guaranteeing a highly precise release almost entirely unhindered by dirt, snow and ice! Adjustment of the AFD to the area of application ensures perfect functionality - from racing, for children's bindings or on ski tours.
- Step-In Hollow Linkage heel piece: The heel was also completely redesigned from the ground up to optimise retention for all types of alpine and touring soles. The aluminium hollow axle saves on weight and maximises the torsional stiffness. This very robust heel construction is best suited for the most strenuous of requirements.
- EPS X System
- Weight of the pair: 1530g (with brakes in 90mm) and 1540g (with brakes in 100mm)
- All MARKER bindings are certified by the German certification body TUV.

That is f ing insane
I have lived in the area all my life and of course the story of Bunny Man changes all the time. However, there are many unexplained deaths in the area surrounding the bridge but unfortunately, there was never an asylum here. Lorton prison was built in 1910 and was the closest thing. Could be the dates are wrong and maybe a bus load of inmates crashed? Don't know. But I've never had the nerve to go. :)
lol im sooo going to that bridge...with plenty of guns
I been to the bunny man bridge yesterday actually the roads getting there is spooky the bridge is narrow and short but when entering it put all ur windows down close all lights and you will feel a cold chill rush into your car
I have recently visited "Bunnyman Brdge",and i felt a spooky presence. I do not know if he is there,or if it is a sick joke.
Bunnyman Bridge. It has recently been discovered by me and my frind,Jack.We thought it was a stupid joke,and now we wish we could take our words back. We spoke the words "Bunnyman,Bunnyman,Bunnyman",and heared some footsteps,we turned and ran. We areplanning to visit it tommorow. Happy Halloween!
UKnowIKnow is right. Me and him were having fun,skipping across the bridge,screaming "Bunnyman! Bunnyman! Bunnyman!" over and over. We heard footsteps,we heared scrpesof somewhat,like the scrapeing of metal against wood. I dont know if i saw it,but i saw a man dressed as a bunny,thats when Alez (UKnowIKnow) shouted to run. If we do go tommorow,it will be: Me (Bunnyman010),Joe (OMGITSCHRISTMAS!),and Ben (SCFC2011). Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapy Haaaaaaaaaaaaaloweeeeeeeeeen!!!!
Oh,and Alex (UKnowIKnow)^^
The legend has circulated for years in several forms. A version naming a suspect and specific location was posted to a web site in the late 1990s by a "Timothy C. Forbes". This version states that in 1904, an asylum prison in Clifton, Virginia was shut down by successful petition of the growing population of residents in Fairfax County. During the transfer of inmates to a new facility, the transport carrying the inmates crashes; some prisoners escaped or were found dead. A search party finds all but one of them.
During this time, locals allegedly began to find hundreds of cleanly skinned, half-eaten carcasses of rabbits hanging from the trees in the surrounding areas. Another search of the area was ordered and the police located the remains of Marcus Wallster, left in a similar fashion to the rabbit carcasses hanging in a nearby tree or under a bridge overpass—known locally as the "Bunny Man Bridge"—along the railroad tracks at Colchester Road. Officials name the last missing inmate, Douglas J. Grifon, as their suspect and call him "the bunny man".
In this version, officials finally manage to locate Grifon but, during their attempt to apprehend him at the overpass, he nearly escapes before being hit by an oncoming train where the original transport crashed. They say after the train passed the police said that they heard laughter coming from the site. It is eventually revealed that Grifon was institutionalized for killing his family and children on Easter Sunday.
For years after the "Bunny Man's" death, in the time approaching Halloween carcasses are said to be found hanging from the overpass and surrounding areas. A figure is reportedly seen by passersby making their way through the one lane bridge tunnel.
Conley says this version is demonstrably false. Among other inconsistencies, Conley notes that "there has never been an asylum for the insane in Fairfax County" and that "Lorton Prison didn't come into existence until 1910, and even then it was an arm of the District of Columbia Corrections system, not Virginia's." Court records show neither a Grifon nor a Wallster and, writes Conley, "there is not and never has been a Clifton Town Library."
Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, via his blog Cryptomundo and in the book Weird Virginia, which has a section on the Bunny man, sees a direct association between the legend of Bunny man and that of the Goatman of nearby Maryland.
Bunnyman Bridge is great. The bright light and then body`s being hung above the passing cars. Im GOING!
Whether you believe the Bunny Man legend or not you really need to visit www.colchesteroverpass.org. Great videos and some important information.
I have heard of only a gargoyle that is supposed to kill you if you go there alone at night, then getting the name after seeing bunnies before being attacked by it. I guess the one I heard was wrong. I hope I can go there!
Went their during a storm and broke my leg. No bunny man though...
the bunny man gives me the chills but the bunny man was never found so i think the legend is fake there has to be an explanation to all of this but that does not explain the hanged people and rabbit carcasses...
Im scared
Ive read tons of stuff about it and seen tons of videos is sounds scary but my sister just got a camera and its October 20 so I'm definetly going there on Howlloween so I'm gonna put the video on you tube if we live.

Skip to comments.Markos Blames Palin for Giffords ShootingTheres Just 1 Problem: Kos Put a Bulls Eye on Giffords
Posted on 01/09/2011 9:04:12 AM PST by fight_truth_decay
Markos Moulitsas, doing the Right Wingers Are Responsible for This Violent Act!
Naturally, putting a bulls eye on someone isnt actually violent rhetoric. Stuff like this is just invoked by soulless ghouls to make a cheap political point. If you want actual violent rhetoric, youd have to to go . . . well, Kos himself:
That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. [sic] They arent in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.
Now thats violent rhetoric!
UPDATE: Let me be triply clear in case you somehow missed the point: the post does not actually blame Kos for encouraging the shooting. The post blames Kos for being a smear-artist douchebag for blaming Palin for the shooting.
Its not a subtle distinction . . .
UPDATE x2: Paul Krugman joins the army of scumbags who blame this on Palin while ignoring the identical behavior from Kos.
Typical douchebaggery.
(Excerpt) Read more at patterico.com ...
[comments worth the read]
From his own readership, someone named BoyBlue posted a rant the other day against Giffords, basically upset because she [Giffords] didnt vote for Pelosi as speaker. Kos scrubbed that from his site, but its been retrieved (in the responses) over at RedState.
Comment: 43.Patteric, may I point out that Kos didnt call for a bulls eye on Giffords, but for a bulls eye on her district? (Look at the screenshot you posted.)
Sure. May I point out that Palin didnt target Giffords, but targeted her district? (Look at the screenshot at TBaggs site, linked in the post.By: TBogg Saturday January 8, 2011 11:07 am)
Can I get an amen from you on what an asshole Kos is being? Which you DO understand this, right? is the point of the post?
Comment by Patterico 1/8/2011 @ 6:13 pm
Below is a link to an excellent article about this insane killer with no references from him re Palin and the Tea Party.
Suspect in rampage called very disturbed
TIM STELLER Arizona Daily Star azdailysun.com
The man arrested for opening fire at a community meeting held by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Saturday killing six people and injuring 13 others disrupted classes at Pima Community College, tried to manipulate his dreams and posted rambling messages on the Internet.
The suspected shooter is Jared Lee Loughner, a 22-year-old who lives on the northwest side. He is mentally unstable and may have had an accomplice, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday evening.
A former classmate of Loughner at Pima, from which he was suspended Sept. 29 for code-of-conduct violations, said he was obviously very disturbed.
He disrupted class frequently with nonsensical outbursts, said Lynda Sorenson, who took a math class with Loughner last summer at Pima Community Colleges Northwest campus.
Dupnik said the suspected shooter has made death threats before and been contacted by law-enforcement officers. The threats werent against Giffords, Dupnik said.
Investigators are looking for a second person who may be an accomplice, Dupnik said.
We are not convinced he acted alone, Dupnik said of the shooter. We have photos, he said, of a man in his 50s.
Theres some reason to believe that (the shooter) came to this location with another individual. And theres reason to believe the other individual would in some way be involved, he said.
Loughner has several online accounts, which suggest he has spent most of his life on the northwest side: His MySpace profile says he attended Thornydale Elementary School, Tortolita Middle School and Mountain View High School.
As a middle school student, Loughner was kind of an outcast, said Shannin Macey, who said via e-mail she attended Tortolita and Mountain View with him.
In high school, Loughner was in jazz band and played the saxophone, but he dropped out in junior year, said Tommy Marriotti, who was a high-school friend of Loughner. At the time he dropped out, Loughner was having drug problems, Marriotti said, but he seemed to do well once he started taking classes at Pima.
Loughner attended Pima courses from summer 2005 until he withdrew in October after his suspension, the college said.
He tried to enlist in the Army in 2008 but was rejected, said First Sgt. Brian Homme, who oversees Army recruiting in Tucson. Loughner was sent to Phoenix to take a test and physical, but he was found to be unqualified, Homme said.
Loughner registered to vote for the first time in 2006, said Chris Roads, Pima Countys registrar of voters. He registered as an independent and last voted in the 2008 general election.
Sorenson, Loughners classmate at Pima, said he was asked to leave the pre-algebra class several times and eventually was barred from class.
Pima officials said in a news release that from February to September 2010, Loughner had five contacts with PCC police for classroom and library disruptions at Northwest and West campuses.
Another Pima classmate, Lydian Ali, said Loughner would frequently laugh aloud to himself during the advanced-poetry class they attended. Only about 16 people were in the class, so Loughners behavior stood out, Ali said.
It almost seemed like he was on his own planet, because his comments would have nothing to do with what we were talking about, Ali said.
Loughners online accounts contain some political comments but are dominated by bizarre discussions of his desire to establish a new currency and his disdain for what he considered the publics low literacy rates. He also wrote threatening and despairing messages.
WOW! Im glad i didnt kill myself. Ill see you on National T.v.! This is foreshadow .... why doesnt anyone talk to me? .. he posted on MySpace Dec. 14.
On Dec. 13, he wrote: I dont feel good: Im ready to kill a police officer! I can say it.
In a posting on YouTube, Loughner wrote repeatedly about a new currency. Im thinking of creating a new currency, he wrote. Therefore, Im thinking of a design for my new coins size, shape, color, material, and image to start a new money system.
He also wrote repeatedly about literacy. In a message on YouTube, Loughner wrote: The majority of people, who reside in District-8 are illiterate hilarious. I dont control your English grammar structure, but you control your English grammar structure.
In a message posted on his MySpace account, titled Goodbye friends,Loughner said: Dear friends...please dont be mad at me. The literacy rate is below 5%. I havent talked to one person who is literate. It was unclear when it was posted.
In a MySpace profile, Loughner said My favorite interest was reading, and I studied grammar. Conscience dreams were a great study in college. Conscious dreaming is trying to manipulate your dreams, an interest Loughner pursued, Marriotti said.
He lists among his favorite books Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto. But he also includes a broad variety of other titles, including: Animal Farm, Brave New World, To Kill a Mockingbird, and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.
In another YouTube message, Loughner said: I know whos listening: Government Officials, and the People. Nearly all the people, who dont know this accurate information of a new currency, arent aware of mind control and brainwash methods. If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldnt have happen.
In conclusion, my ambition - is for informing literate dreamers about a new currency; in a few days, you know Im conscience dreaming! Thank you!
In a YouTube video dated Dec. 15, titled Introduction: Jared Loughner, he describes himself as a U.S. military recruit who had applied to join the Army.
In the video, Loughner makes a rambling mention of MEPS in Phoenix an apparent reference to the Military Entrance Processing Station in the state capital that all Arizona recruits from every branch of service pass through before leaving for basic training. Every United States military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix is receiving one mini bible before the tests, it said. Jared Loughner is a United States military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix. Therefore, Jared Loughner is receiving one mini bible before the tests.
I didnt write a belief on my Army application and the recruiter wrote on the application: None.
Sgt. Homme declined to say why Loughner was rejected, citing confidentiality laws.
Loughner has had at least two minor run-ins with police, online court records show.
In October 2007, Loughner was cited by the Pima County Sheriffs Department for possession of drug paraphernalia, a charge that was dismissed in November 2007 when he completed a diversion program.
One year later, in October 2008, Loughner faced a local charge in Marana Municipal Court. That charge was also dismissed following the completion of a diversion program in March 2009.
Court records indicate the Marana case file is due to be purged in December 2013. Its unclear what the exact charge was.
Grant Wiens, 22, attended Mountain View High School with Loughner, although they were not in the same grade. Wiens also took a class at Pima Community College with Loughner, where they occasionally talked, he said.
He was a guy in high school who definitely had his opinions on stuff and didnt seem to care what people thought of him, Wiens said. He did his own thing.
Star reporters Carol Ann Alaimo, Alex Dalenberg, Fernanda Echavarri, Patrick Finley, Ernesto Portillo Jr. and Sarah Trotto contributed to this report.
Kos is a cheap, two-bit punk. He needs to be deported back to where he came from.
You and I know that...but just showing how even the "well respected" .... NYTimes columnist who just wrote this:
We dont have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. Shes been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to work with, might be a target, the answer is that shes a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona, precisely because the Republicans nominated a Tea Party activist. (Her father says that the whole Tea Party was her enemy.) And yes, she was on Sarah Palins infamous crosshairs list."
This gives ratings fodder for the likes of talk show screamer-Joy Behar and the MSNBC usuals..................so they can recruit more anger toward Palin and the dreaded Tea Party folks.
Libs are evil...
Yes Krugman has to be getting hammered and of course the crazies are ..you guessed it!
He believes in free speech for himself. He "hits and runs"--typical coward. He writes a column then censors any feed back!! He plays Prosecutor, Judge and Jury. He also shamelessly pulls in Giffords grieving dad [who instantly had a camera shoved into his face while the reporter played "detective"]..to verify the mindset of those like himself. Krugman will get attacked for his in the media and he cannot "delete" those comments. Am sure an MSNBC flunky is speed dialing him for an appearance, as we speak.
On Friday Glenn opened the show with comments about the leftist accusations against him and then gave them something to talk about. He said "I'm calling for a revolution....within ourselves".
I'm sure the left desperately wishes they could use the call for revolution against him but he set the comment up on either end so they would look like idiots if they try.

This shooter was either insane or a lefty lonewolf just looking to make a name for himself. I am betting on the insane thing because after reading his words on YOUTUBE it is clear that he isnt all there.
He isnt right wing because he aint smart enough.
Either way they should give this clown the chair. Xtra voltage.

Rating: NNNNN
Q: I'm considering buying a scooter or even a motorcycle. They seem more eco-friendly than cars, right?
A: What is it about warm summer days that makes many of us daydream about zipping around town on a jazzy little scooter or hitting the open road on a badass cruiser? And with thimbles for gas tanks, they must be way better for the environment than your average automobile, no? Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not really true.
Sure, you might get more kilometres per litre (Harleys, for instance, are three times more fuel-efficient than your average sedan and therefore emit fewer greenhouse gases), but according to experts in California, even the cleanest 2004 motorcycle is at least eight times dirtier than the dirtiest 2004 car when it comes to pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide. And 90 times worse when it comes to hydrocarbons! Whichever way you drive it, a foul, foul affair.
"How can this be?" you cry. Well, cars are subject to much more stringent regulations than either scooters or motorbikes, which don't need to meet Drive Clean standards. And most bike makers have been slow to clean up their act.
Environment Canada says it has pretty much stood idly by up to now because there are just so few of the things on the road, and most are only wheeled out during one season - this one. When you add up all the Harleys and Vespas out there, they only account for 1 per cent of harmful emissions. Still, Canada will be implementing what's called the World Motorcycle Test in 2006 to match California emissions standards. By then, motorcycles and scooters will have to have pollution-curbing catalytic converters. Fuel injection systems and oxygen sensors will also help with emission reduction. In the meantime, there are still a couple of things to watch for. Whether you're opting for a scooter or a hog, whatever you do, steer clear of smaller two-stroke engines, please. Without getting into all the nitty-gritty, two-stroke engines are lighter, shorter-lived, completely unregulated and much, much, much filthier. And although nearly every motorcycle now has a four-stroke , far fewer scooters have made the switch. Scooters, while cute and super-fuel-efficient, are actually the worst option. Unless, as we said, you get one of the four-stroke types, like the Vespa ET4 ($5500) from Motoretta on College. All new models of Honda scooters and motorbikes also have all the strokes you need (available at McBride Cycle on Dundas West starting at $2,550 for scooters and $13,400 for hogs). In fact, Honda's GoldWing 1800 ($26,799) and Interceptor ($13,400) motorbikes already exceed stringent California standards years ahead of schedule. Rev Cycle on Bathurst carries a Ducati that comes with a catalytic converter. Trouble is, most people take it off after they get it home because they think it weighs down the bike. Same goes for emission canisters that recycle exhaust gases on virtually all motorbikes these days. Turns out most riders don't equate top performance with eco-friendliness. But we trust that you, dear reader, would never do such a thing. For a truly earth-conscious option, there's the electric scooter. Vancouver-based Green World Electric Vehicles, the only retailer of the EVT-168 ($3,200) in Canada, will ship to T.O. This zero-emission, retro electro-scooter (out later this summer) can run from 10 to 100km/hour and takes two to five hours to charge.
Now for those who already have a scooter or cruiser but want to ease its eco burden.
If it's got a diesel engine, you can switch to biodiesel in a flash. No need to convert your engine or anything. Either fill up your tank at Queen and Pape (see www.alternate-nrg.com for info) or blend your own oily brew (for recipes go to www.dancingrabbit. org/biodiesel/makeit.html).
Remember, biodiesel will solidify in the cold, so use it in warm weather only.

Nashville Electric Service officials announced Tuesday the launching of an updated interactive customer tool using Google mapping technology.
The update comes five years after NES unveiled its initial online outage map (view map here).
The map offers a high-level view of outages across the NES system, pop-up boxes for additional details and a drill down capability to identify streets without power.
The outage map uses color-coded icons to indicate the number and location of customers without power in the NES service area. Users can click on their location on the map to find out how many customers are affected, the time the outage was reported and if a crew has been assigned to make repairs. Information on the map is updated every 15 minutes.
A mobile-friendly version of the map is also available for customers on the go using their smart phones (view map here).
In addition to the outage map, customers can report a street light problem online and find information on storm safety and any given NES power restoration process.
Wow, this is great! Now I can watch my computer screen and see if they are making progress getting my electricity turned back on. Oh, wait...my computer and cable modem operate on electricity.
Okay, well, it would be helpful to monitor from the office progress on getting the lights back on at home. I'll give you that.
Oh Heavens!
Now the illegals and the Muslins will know where the lights are off so they can slip in, build mosques, invoke Sharia and cut our yards and trim our hedges!

Gender Definitions and Resources
Gender Definition and Resources
Welcome! We created a resource for you to be able to explore gender and identity, basic concepts and terms around gender, and resources for you and/or to share.
sex: the classification of a person as male, female, or intersex. At birth, infants are assigned a sex, usually based on the appearance of their external anatomy. This is what is written on the birth certificate. A person's sex, however, is actually a combination of bodily characteristics including: chromosomes, hormones, internal and external reproductive organs, and secondary sex characteristics. 2
sex assigned at birth: the assignment and classification of people as male, female, intersex, or another sex assigned at birth often based on physical anatomy at birth and/or karyotyping. 1
intersex: describes a person with less common combination of hormones, chromosomes, and anatomy that are used to assign sex at birth. There are many examples such as Klinefelter Syndrome, Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Parents and medical professionals usually coercively assign intersex infants a sex and have, in the past, been medically permitted to perform surgical operations to conform the infant's genitalia to that assignment. This practice has become increasingly controversial as intersex adults speak out against the practice. The term intersex is not interchangeable with or a synonym for transgender (although some intersex people do identify as transgender). 1
gender: refers to gender identity.
gender identity: one's internal sense of being male, female, neither of these, both, or other gender(s). Everyone has a gender identity, including you. For transgender people, their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity are not necessarily the same. 1
gender expression: the physical manifestation of one's gender identity through clothing, hairstyle, voice, body shape, etc. (typically referred to as masculine, feminine, or androgynous). Many transgender people seek to make their gender expression (how they look) match their gender identity (who they are), rather than their sex assigned at birth. Someone with a gender nonconforming gender expression may or may not be transgender. 1
cisgender/cis: term for someone who exclusively identifies as their sex assigned at birth. The term cisgender is not indicative of gender expression, sexual orientation, hormonal makeup, physical anatomy, or how one is perceived in daily life. Note that cisgender does not have an "ed" at the end. 1
transgender/trans: encompassing term of my gender identities of those who do not identify or exclusively identify with their sex assigned at birth. The term transgender is not indicative of gender expression, sexual orientation, hormonal makeup, physical anatomy, or how one is perceived in daily life. Note that transgender does not have an "ed" at the end. 1
sexual orientation: a person's physical, romantic, emotional, aesthetic, and/or other form of attraction to others. In Western cultures, gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same. Trans people can be straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay, asexual, pansexual, queer, etc. just like anyone else. For example, a trans woman who is exclusively attracted to other women would often identify as lesbian. 1
The Gender Unicorn show us that everyone has a gender identity, gender expression, sex assigned at birth, and physical and emotional attraction (even if it's not to someone). Below, we are going to explore more words we have to describe gender identities.
agender: an umbrella term encompassing many different genders of people who commonly do not have a gender and/or have a gender they describe as neutral. Many agender people are trans. As a new and quickly-evolving term, it is best you ask how someone defines agender for themselves. 1
Cisgender man: a person who was assigned male at birth and identifies as a man.
Cisgender woman: a person who was assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman.
Genderqueer: an identity commonly used by people who do not identify or express their gender within the gender binary. Those who identify as genderqueer may identify as neither male nor female, may see themselves as outside of or in between the binary gender boxes, or may simply feel restricted by gender labels. Many genderqueer people are cisgender and identify with it as an aesthetic. Not everyone who identifies as genderqueer identifies as trans or nonbinary. 1
Gender fluid: a changing or "fluid" gender identity. 1
Hijra: a person assigned male at birth who rejects their masculine identity and identify either as woman, or "not-man," or "in between man and women" or "neither man nor woman." Referred to as a third gender, not transgender. Depending on the region, the terms might be different, such as kinnar in north India or Aravani in Tamil Nadu, for example. 3
Man: a person who identifies as a man, may be cisgender or transgender.
Nonbinary: (also non-binary) preferred umbrella term for all genders other than female/male or woman/man, used as an adjective (e.g. Jesse is a nonbinary person). Not all nonbinary people identify as trans and not all trans people identify as nonbinary. Sometimes (and increasingly), nonbinary can be used to describe the aesthetic/presentation/expression of a cisgender or transgender person. 1
Transgender: encompassing term of my gender identities of those who do not identify or exclusively identify with their sex assigned at birth. The term transgender is not indicative of gender expression, sexual orientation, hormonal makeup, physical anatomy, or how one is perceived in daily life. Note that transgender does not have an "ed" at the end. 1
Trans Man/trans masculine/FtM: Trans man generally describes someone assigned female at birth who identifies as a man. This individual may or may not actively identify as trans. Sometimes trans men identify as female-to-male (also FTM, F2M, or trans masculine). Please ask before identifying someone. Use the term and pronouns preferred by the individual. 1
Tran Woman/trans feminine/MtF: Trans woman generally describes someone assigned male at birth who identifies as a woman. This individual may or may not actively identify as trans. Sometimes trans women identify as male-to-female (also MTF, M2F, or trans feminine). Please ask before identifying someone. Use the term and pronouns preferred by the individual. 1
Two Spirit: an umbrella term indexing various indigenous gender identities in North America. 1
Woman: a person who identifies as a woman, may be cisgender or transgender.

The international best-selling book, Free To Choose, was based on the series and enjoyed sales in the millions. More than 30 years later, the series and book are still in wide use and have been profoundly influential.
Chitester has more than 50 years of experience in television management and program development. Working with TCI in Denver, CO, Chitester created Issues USA, a nightly half-hour program, whose alumni includes: David Asman, Eric Burns and Douglas Kennedy, currently regulars on the Fox Cable News Channel, Jonathan Karl of ABC News, and Richard Lowry, editor of National Review.

Tom Skinner is executive producer of all Free To Choose Media productions.
Tom is an award-winning television and film executive producer, most notably of the National Geographic specials and Planet Earth. He is an experienced innovator and administrator with a solid academic background, and extensive national and international production credentials in public and commercial television.

Jim Tusty is half of a husband and wife filmmaking team which wrote and directed India Awakes. With his wife, Maureen, he founded, owned and operated a private filmmaking and communications firm called Mountain View Group, Ltd., which served some of the largest international corporations in the world, such as GE, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and IBM. The production of these high-profile branding films took them to more than forty countries around the world on behalf of their corporate clients.
In 2008, they sold MVG and opened Sky Films Incorporated (SFI), a production company dedicated to documentary films. Their first release, The Singing Revolution, played in 125 North American theatrical markets. The New York Times wrote of the film, "Imagine the scene in Casablanca in which the French patrons sing 'La Marseillaise' in defiance of the Germans, then multiply its power by a factor of thousands, and you've only begun to imagine the force of The Singing Revolution." After its theatrical run, it was released on public television, and is also being distributed to American schools through izzit.org, an educational initiative of Free To Choose Network.
Following The Singing Revolution, they produced and distributed a documentary entitled To Breathe As One, which tells the story of Laulupidu, the extraordinary song festival held in Estonia every five years. As many as 30,000 singers take the stage to sing, becoming the largest choir in the world for two days. UNESCO has proclaimed the Laulupidu Song Festival a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". To Breathe As One had a successful limited theatrical run in the fall of 2013, and aired on public television in 2014.
They produced Economic Freedom in Action: Changing Lives for Free To Choose Media in 2013, and India Awakes in 2014. In January 2017 their latest documentary, Trailblazers: The New Zealand Story will be released.

The Hunk of the Day is someone who has been featured on here before, Mario Lopez. Here we have him in a recent Twitter pic by his wife, showing him in his finest tree-trimming regalia. Who am I to judge? I won't horrify you with what I wore when trimming the tree (and I only did the lights…)
UPDATE: My friend LeeMichael pointed out that Mr. Lopez was giving me a run for my money in the ass-centric holiday greeting market. My first thought was that I wish my body was half as fit as his, but my second was that I would never trim a sharp-needled pine tree in such skimpy briefs, and I wouldn't trade that sort of wisdom for the hottest body in the world.
Okay, maybe I would. But it's more noble to pretend otherwise.Back to Blog

Famous People Who Didn't Graduate High School, We just got news that Justin Bieber graduated from high school this week and big congrats on him for that! Believe me, there are quite a few celebrities that actually haven't graduated from high school. They'd rather roll around in their money and talk like idiots than get an education. You hear about celebs doing their homework while on the road promoting their album or movie but you don't always hear of celebrities getting their diploma. Here are a 5 celebs who never did graduate from high school.
1. Paris Hilton
She emerged onto the scene as a socialite who (kind of) achieved some sort of celebrity of her own. A sex tape led to a reality show which led to…well, the Paris Hilton Brand. During her junior year of high school, Paris is said to have dropped out. Shocker. But, rumor has it she did get her GED.
2. Avril Lavigne:
She's good at putting lyrics together, but that doesn't mean she's intelligent. When she was in the 11th grade, Lavigne was offered a recording contract and with that, she dropped out of her high school in Ontario, Canada and never went back. During an interview with Barbara Walters, Babs said that she could still go back to school and Avril said, "Um, yeah no that's okay." She did eventually get her GED.
3. Britney Spears:
Britney Spears also dropped out of high school to pursue a music career. She was attending Kentwood High school in Louisiana before she dropped out. There is no word as to whether Brit actually did get a GED. With some of her life decisions, we have to really wonder.
4. Jessica Simpson:
Jessica Simpson had a great high school life. She was popular. She was pretty. She was nominated homecoming queen for TWO years in a row AND she was a cheerleader. But it was in 1997 that Jess is said to have dropped out of high school to pursue her music career. Simpson did eventually earn her GED, but it took life experiences (and a smart ex-husband) to teach her the difference between chicken and tuna.
5. Lindsay Lohan:
Lindsay Lohan was in eleventh grade when she dropped out of high school. Did Marilyn Monroe drop out of high school? Just wondering because Lilo does think she is Marilyn. Lohan was quoted as saying, "Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?" Lilo has definitely taken many risks without caring about the consequences. Exhibit A here. Exhibit B here. Exhibit C here. And so on and so forth.

Behind the Iron mask:
A/N: Sorry it's been so long! I don't have any excuses. But here you go!
-I don't own anything. All I own is this silly plot.
Tony and Steve sat in the front seats of the billionaire's red Ferrari parked in the underground lab of the tower. For the moment, it was silent. Tony occupied the driver's side, nursing the cup of hot coffee Steve had made for him. The blistering liquid soothed the ache building in his throat from his earlier outburst. Steve sat quietly next to him, observing the destruction of the lab and Tony's other luxury cars around them. He didn't speak. He didn't even glance at the wounded man. And Tony appreciated the opportunity to gather his thoughts. How exactly does one tell the poster boy for America why they want to kill themselves? He wasn't even sure he knew the answer himself.
"You were all my father talked about." He finally said.
Steve drew his gaze from the dash to the broken man next to him, silently urging him to continue. Tony didn't return the eye contact, choosing instead to focus on the intricate grooves of the leather steering wheel.
"I grew up hearing stories about you. 'Captain America saved this many people on this day' and 'Steve Rogers sacrificed himself to save the world'. He idolized you. I idolized you. I wanted to BE you. He spent the rest of his life trying to find you. So much that I became an unimportant factor in his life. A distraction. An annoyance."
Steve sighed and felt an unwelcome remorse rise like bile in the back of his throat. He swallowed hard as he tried to rid himself of it. Too often in the past 24 hours he had felt this guilt. There was nothing he could have done. He was frozen in ice. It was not like any of this was from his personal ill will.
"He was so obsessed with finding you that I think he lost himself. He began to drink heavily. And the more he drank the more he hated me. He resented me. Like father like son, right?" Tony laughed darkly.
"Tony, I'm…"
"And then he pulls this grand bullshit about me being his greatest creation." He cut him off. "It's such bullshit. I spent my whole life being compared to Captain Fucking America! I was never his greatest creation, you were! He made sure to remind me how useless I was. How worthless. How I could never be anything next to the amazing Steve Rogers."
Steve had heard enough. "You are not worthless. I'm so sorry that I had such an impact on your father and you. That was not the Howard Stark that I knew. And I'm glad I never met him. I would have punched his lights out."
Tony merely shook his head. Steve frowned and grasped the man's shoulder, attempting to offer comfort. But the older man shrugged off his hand. He reached up to his chest and violently twisted the arc reactor and removed it from its protective plate.
"It would be so easy."
"What the hell are you doing?!" The blonde asked with a sharp edge of panic.
"Relax, Steve, it can be out for a few seconds before it becomes life threatening." Tony halfheartedly assured as he listlessly reattached the reactor.
"Just, please don't. I know I'm behind on the technology, but I have no idea how that thing works or how to fix you if you were dying."
"Way behind, Cap, way behind."
Steve just gave him a tentative smile before pulling the lever to recline the bucket seat. He looked pensively up at the tanned roof and sucked in a deep breath of air between his teeth.
"My parents were extremely poor. Irish immigrants. I don't remember my father really. He died when I was really young. But my mother, Sarah, I remember her. She was beautiful. She had striking red hair and blue eyes like mine. She was all I had and I was all she had. And that was enough for us. There were times when we couldn't afford food, so she would work two jobs and did everything she could to make sure I had a warm dinner every night. She was so strong, but it wore her down. She got really sick, pneumonia, and just couldn't fight it anymore. She died when I was thirteen. I lived at an orphanage for the rest of my childhood. The poor living conditions made me the scrawny, sickly kid that was easy to beat up after school. There were times that I hated my life too. You're not the only one that has wanted to die."
"Why didn't you?" Tony asked quietly as he finally turned to look at the super soldier.
"I did." Steve whispered. "After school with a razor in the boys' bathroom…but I underestimated the maintenance workers' efficiency. The serum Erskine gave me somehow got rid of my scars…like Captain America was not allowed to have been so weak."
"What changed?"
Steve tore his gaze from the roof of the car and locked eyes with the man behind the iron mask. He saw a desperate need for understanding, a desire for hope, shining in the unshed tears pooled in Tony's eyes.
"I found a friend." He answered honestly. "Bucky understood what I was feeling and accepted me anyway. He looked out for me. He was the only one who made me feel like I actually mattered since my mother."
Tony scoffed bitterly. "Well, I don't have any friends."
Steve climbed out of the car and shut the door softly. He rolled up his sleeves and made his way around to Tony's side. Leaning to peer through the open window, he spoke simply.
"You have friends, Tony. You just have to wake up to see them."
A/N: Here's the end, folks. I really didn't want to drag this story out. And besides, I'll let all of you create your own endings to where they go from here. I hope you all enjoyed! Leave me reviews and I might be inspired to do another story.

Android Apps
Puzzle game Shift finally in the Market, controls need work
January 25, 2011 | by Michael Heller
Android Games
The puzzle game "Shift" was one of my favorites back in my iPhone days. It has finally made the leap to Android, but unfortunately it hasn't made the transition perfectly. Shift is still a great puzzle game with a unique twist of being able to invert the colors of the world in order to make your way through. The trouble is in the controls.
As you can see, the movement controls are set on either side of the game screen. The idea is that you run left or right, then slide your finger up to jump, and slide back down to continue running. The problem is that this layout doesn't work too well and quite often I found myself not jumping when I slid my finger. On iPhone, the setup was that as you ran one direction, the arrow for the opposite direction became a tap-to-jump button, which was far more responsive and accurate for this type of gameplay.
The game is still solid, and the developer could change the controls, but I'd suggest you give the lite version a try before buying.
