text: I was really aware of the increase in violence after the first month of the new DCU. Not only in titles, like Animal Man, or Wonder Woman, which are intended to be horror like, but across the line. And we're not talking Ennis-type of violence here, where it's so over the top you kind of don't care anymore. Best example was the Joker's face being cut off. And then shown. Sorry, but that's just not necessary. It's writing as a slave to art, which wanted to ahve a cool and graphic picture. And nearly all of the new books suffer under this. It's the artists having taken more than their due, and it's shock and awe arond the hour.

Building permits up 26.8% over this time last year
Single-family permits rose 25.3% and multifamily rose 30.4%. Housing starts fell slightly from October to November but remained 21.6% ahead of last year's pace.
Builders started construction on fewer new homes in November than in October, but got permits for more, indicating that the industry has reason to be optimistic about 2013.
If building continues at its current pace, builders will start 861,000 new homes this year, 21.6% above last November's pace but 3% below the October pace, according to the latest data from the Commerce Department.
The number of building permits sought rose 3.6% from October to November and was 26.8% above the November 2011 pace.
Single-family housing starts were down 4.1% from October but up 22.8% since last
year. Multifamily starts were up 1.2% from October and 19.2% over last November.
The number of single-family permits was down 0.2% from October but up 25.3% from last November. Permits issued for building of five or more units were up 10.4% from October and 30.4% from November 2011.
The single-family home number is more meaningful. The total index includes multifamily construction, which fluctuates more month-to-month.
"Many builders have reported improving conditions in their local housing markets and are increasingly optimistic about the spring buying season, but they are being very careful not to get ahead of demand," Barry Rutenberg, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a homebuilder from Gainesville, Fla., said in a news release. "Meanwhile, tight credit conditions are still the chief obstacle to a quicker recovery."
Another bit of data that provided a bit of holiday cheer was that the Architecture Billings Index, compiled by the American Institute of Architects, rose for the fourth straight month, hitting its highest level since November 2007. That is a harbinger of more construction ahead.
"There's an optimistic view toward design again, and it's not just the big firms," Gary Davis, head of marketing for A. Zahner Co., a Kansas City metal fabricator and engineering firm, told The Wall Street Journal. "People are calling about design questions again, rather than just calling to ask, 'Do you have a cheaper way of doing this?'"

PHILADELPHIA, PA (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks will look to avoid a fourth straight loss, while sweeping the regular season series against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.
The Bucks (34-35) have lost six of their last eight, but still hold on to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
In the first three games against the 76ers, the Bucks averaged 103 points with a 48.8 shooting percentage. Turnovers have hurt the Bucks in their losses, including 13 against Utah on Monday.

Why myownlimelight's first vote will be for President Obama:
When I received my absentee ballot in the mail, the first bubble I filled in was the one next to Barack Obama. It was an instant and easy decision to vote for him again. I am one hundred percent in support of the President, but one particular moment stands out for me as the moment I knew that I would vote Obama.
When President Obama said that he was in support of marriage equality, my heart soared. I come from a family where being gay isn't something we talk about. I came out to my parents during high school, but we never talked about it after that point. They still expect me to turn out "normal."
It's incredible to know that my president supports marriage for everyone. It's incredible to know that my president has helped repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It is incredible that things are only looking up under an Obama Administration.
My president stands by me, and I will stand by him.
Yeah, this video will probably make you cry.
Ricky Watson of Littleton, Colorado wipes tears from his eyes after he thanked President Barack Obama for repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at a campaign rally in Golden, Colorado, September 13. Watson was kicked out of the Air Force 25 years ago for being gay.

I am a 24 year-old teacher, artist, member of the LGBTQ community, grad student. I want to personally thank President Obama and Vice President Biden for being champions for me and my colleagues.
We struggle with low income, spotty benefits, student debt, and pressure to survive financially in these years of our early 20s and I could not be more grateful for the President's support for what we do and who we are. In addition to effecting real and positive change for struggling young adults in America, he is setting an inspiring example for the children of the country with his inclusive views and positive attitudes. I am proud to share these years of the Obama presidency with my young students as they see this beautiful example of leadership and acceptance from their President.
Thank you for all that you do. :)

As you all probably know, I love updos. But I'm not very good at them. So I was really excited to come across this one by Naptural85 on youtube because it's actually *gasp* do able for someone who is updo challenged! It actually reminded me of a portrait I of Queen Elizabeth I but I haven't been able to locate it to include it in here! If I find it, I'll add the link!
|Yes, my earrings don't match. They aren't supposed to.
I did this on a week old twist out right before wash day. Since all of my stretch head bands are stretched out (I've been using them for puffs or as a pony tail holder), I just added a pin in the front and one in the back to keep the band from moving too much. Which worked better than I expected, next time I will add a pin on each side to make sure it's extra secure since the wind managed to pull rebel pieces out.
If you want to learn how to do it, just watch the video below!
Do you think you'll be trying this style? Tell me in the comments!

Law officers in Cordele are trying to track down a hit man. They believe a 2011 murder was a professional kill and while the gunman is now convicted of murder, his accomplice remains free.
And one thing that helped in this murder conviction was surveillance video. Prosecutors say it could aid in a couple of unsolved murders in the city of Cordele, but first, people must come forward.
Following a week long murder trial Varocus Grant is heading to prison, sentenced to life plus five years for the murder of 30-year-old Travis Shivers.
District Attorney Denise Fachini says Grant and an unidentified man stalked Shivers in the days leading up to his murder. His children were inside a nearby apartment when he was ambushed in October 2011, shot four times.
"It appeared to be a hit. He was sitting on the hood of his mother-in-laws car. He was chatting through an open window with his neighbor about a football game that was on. He clearly was stalked and targeted," Fachini says.
Surveillance video from local stores and city cameras played a role in identifying Grant. And while the second gunman remains at large, at least three murders in the city remain unsolved.
"There is a similarity to some degree in that what we can tell are products of greed, breaking in homes," said Fachini.
In July someone shot 39-year-old Alfonzo Smith to death through the back door of his West 18th Avenue Home. No arrests have been in that case.
And most recently 39-year-old Cynthia Curtis was found shot to death November 12th inside her 23rd Street Apartment. In a city noted for its surveillance cameras, police released housing authority surveillance of two men near the scene of crime they want to question.
In each case robbery appears to be the motive. "It doesn't appear anyone got anything from these attempts, so they were futile, we have a lost life, and we have someone out there who is ultimately going to be charged with murder," said Fachini.
While GBI and Cordele Police continue to work these cases, it's ultimately up to people in the public Fachini says to come forward with information that could help put those killers behind bars.
Coming up in February 26-year-old Michael Davis Junior will stand trial for the stabbing death of a 16-year-old Cordele boy. One common in just about every violent crime Fachini says she sees in the city, is the perpetrators are usually young.
And if you have any information about the murder of Travis Shivers or the unsolved homicides in Cordele contact the GBI in Americus at 229-931-2439.

Spring Valley Area Food Shelf in need of building donation
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Tuesday, June 18, 2013 3:12 AM
The Spring Valley Area Food Shelf has filled a need as 185 families use the service, overseen by the Spring Valley Ministerial Association. Abigail Biermann helps the Rev. Dennis Timmerman get food donations arranged in the house, which has served the role well, but is having maintenance issues that require a move. GRETCHEN MENSINK LOVEJOY/SPRING VALLEY TRIBUNE
The porch of the house that holds the Spring Valley Area Food Shelf is becoming a maintenance issue, causing the volunteers who operate the pantry to search for a new home. GRETCHEN MENSINK LOVEJOY/SPRING VALLEY TRIBUNE
Kathy Baarsch, Rita Hartert and Carol Gross are seeking a new building to house the Spring Valley Food Shelf.
"We're looking for a place, and if someone has a suitable building in a good location and would like to donate it to the city of Spring Valley, we're looking for a new home," stated volunteer Baarsch, who, along with Gross and Hartert, serves at the food pantry located in an old farmhouse on the west side of Spring Valley, out on West Tracy Road.
The Spring Valley Area Food Shelf opened in the former Kasten farmhouse on Dec. 17, 2008, and is overseen by the Spring Valley Area Ministerial Association. The volunteers have enjoyed gathering, inventorying and sharing food from its main floor.
"The space is wonderful, said Gross. "There's room for food storage, room for shelves."
Hartert concurred, "There's plenty of room for the refrigerators and freezers, the location is private for clients, close to town and handy for them and us."
However, Baarsch pointed out, the roof needs new shingles, the front porch is falling in, and the furnace and water heater have recently been immersed in three feet of water after this spring's persistent rainfall. "We have to get the water pumped out, and we're mainly concerned with the water heater and furnace, the front porch ceiling falling in, and the siding is also in really bad shape. We knew the property was not going to be something we'd be in long term anyway, but it's zoned residential, and we thought we could stay here at least a little while. If we were going to and had the money, the furnace and water heater would probably be repaired or replaced, but it's a matter of time. We have to think and look forward to the future."
That future has real people depending on it. When the Spring Valley Area Food Shelf opened, it served 18 families, but today, 185 families - including 85 that have children under 18 years of age - rely on supplemental food from its pantry, and approximately 100 families a month visit the food shelf.
"We have 30 to 35 who are 65 and older, so we're serving a large age range," Gross stated.
Hartert noted that this summer, the volunteers managing the food shelf are giving out an extra bag of food to families with children to help them deal with the loss of free breakfasts and lunches that the children would receive during the school year. Those very same children might have toured the food shelf with their classmates at some point during the school year, learning about the volunteerism and generosity that make the monthly food distribution happen.
Gross said, "The food shelf presents an opportunity for kids to get ideas about volunteering through the shelf, because we don't have a single paid person. We're all volunteers." The Kasten house has enough land surrounding it that the FFA has maintained a garden there, and various organizations, including 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, churches and the local post office gather food donations each month and bring them to the shelf.
Hartert stated, "We have some monetary donations from individuals and groups each month, public and private, too, but those are for food. We do pay our utilities. Otherwise, we don't have much money."
The ladies are hoping that they soon can receive food shelf donations in a new, drier location with a reliable roof, furnace and water heater. Hartert is thankful that "the three feet of water happened now, in the spring and summer, rather than in the middle of winter," but still would like to assist the area's hungry in a building that doesn't present maintenance challenges.
Baarsch observed, "It's possible to donate a building as a charitable donation as long as certain guidelines are followed."
The trio thanked area citizens for their willingness to help neighbors enjoy a good meal, concluding, that the people of Spring Valley are extremely generous.

Galactic-ally Mediocre Cake Bars.
Advantages: Nice Galaxy chocolate, offers widely available.Disadvantages: Plain and dull sponge cake, cream filling is sickly sweet and overpowers chocolate.
As the girlfriend is a big fan of Galaxy chocolate, various bars frequent the house regulary, and I've often wondered, why is it called Galaxy still? I cannot see the connection between a giant universal spiral of planets and stars, and a silky smooth and ...

Prices for finished goods excluding foods and energy advanced 0.4 percent following a 0.2-percent rise in the preceding month. The index for finished consumer foods increased 1.7 percent after climbing 1.4 percent a month earlier.
From January 2007 to January 2008, prices for finished goods rose 7.4 percent, as shown in the chart.

Trading for a pitcher - harder than it seems
Okay, I am pretending to be Jumbo Jim Hendry now, which is a mental exercise I go through nearly every day. If only I enjoyed, say, the Bowflex or the LifeCycle as much.
I am extremely hesitant to mess with my team's chemistry right now, and thus my list of untouchables is much longer than Kyle's at this point. Here is what I am willing to part with for a pitcher:
- Column "A" - starting pitchers - Hill OR Marshall OR Gallagher
- Column "B" - line drive hitters - Murton OR Hofpauir OR Colvin
- Column "C" - middle infielders - Patterson OR Cedeno OR Fontenot
I would prefer one from Column "A", one from Column "B", and one from Column "C". What do you suppose that would buy me?
I think it would buy me A. J. Burnett. I also agree with most that believe that Burnett is just a slightly less xtreme Kerry Wood.
I do not think it would buy me Erik Bedard. Maybe Bill Bavasi would have taken that bait, but the new guy is going to be a bit more hesitant, waiting for the big score. He'd probably want TWO from Column "A", Colvin and Cedeno. I'm not really willing to give him Gallagher AND Marshall AND Cedeno for Bedard.
I would give the Indians all that for Sabathia. I am still unconvinced of Cedeno's baseball IQ, I don't think Marshall has more than 4th starter potential, and I'm not sure Colvin is what he thinks he is. So sure, I'd give that up.
But I don't think the Tribe is going to settle for that. They are going to go into this, ultimately, wanting Soto - since Victor Martinez seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Of course, I tell them no plucking way, but now I am on the defensive. They probably think they are entitled to two from Column A PLUS either Soulpatch Reed, Theriot or Marky Mark.
If this were the offseason, and I was guaranteed I could sign the Big Sunnybitch, I might give it more consideration. But not now. They can't have anyone out of my regular lineup when we are leading the MLB. No way I phuck with that.
So...harder than you think. Most here would prefer that either Marshall comes back and takes charge, or Gallagher takes another step up and takes charge, or maybe Hill extracts his thumb from his ass and takes charge. There is a certain 'retained value' to this scenario, true. But I have always believed that deserving players should get what they deserve, and that their current team should do what they can to make sure that happens; to not stand in the way of their development. I believe that RIGHT NOW Murton and Hofpauir deserve to play every day for an AL team, and Marshall deserves to start for an ML team, and that Cedeno deserves to play every day for an ML team.
Just not mine.
is not a strength, so making any deals with other teams that believe the Cubs are urgent to make a deal is crazy. I like the heavy unit from Cleveland but I'd also do a little window shopping at the Rangers yard sale come July. The big LH bat in CF might be able to be pried away from them for the young pitchers the Cubs have and the Rangers so desperately need.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - A transient has been arrested for allegedly starting a small wildfire in Flagstaff.
Coconino County Sheriff's officials said Thursday that 25-year-old James Duncan is being held on suspicion of 1 count of reckless burning.
They received a call from dispatchers assigned to the northern district of the Arizona Department of Public Safety regarding a hitchhiker who allegedly started a one-acre fire near Interstate 40.
DPS officers say a man was seen sitting in a log on a shoulder of I-40 smoking a cigarette in the area where the so-called Freeway Fire ignited.
Authorities say Duncan has denied causing the fire. They didn't immediately know if he has a lawyer.

Presented every two years the Commonwealth Awards are the state's highest honor in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences. The Awards celebrate the extraordinary achievements of the cultural organizations, artists, leaders, and philanthropists who make Massachusetts a better place through their creativity and commitment. At a State House ceremony on February 19, 2013 Commonwealth Awards were presented to the individuals and organizations in the categories listed below.
The Awards ceremony keynote address was delivered by Dr. Karl Paulnack, an acclaimed pianist, passionate advocate for music and the arts, and director of The Boston Conservatory's Music Division. Dr. Paulnack spoke about how music can capture and hold our experience of life the way a container holds a liquid; how it supports our capacity to engage and retain our experience, the feelings, the flavors and the timbres of our lives.
Each Commonwealth Award winner received a medal designed and created by Taunton, Massachusetts-based Reed & Barton. State government leaders were on hand to present the Awards, and the ceremony featured performances by members of the Boston Gay Men's Chorus and dancers from OrigiNation, Inc. and the O'Shea-Chaplin Academy of Irish Dance.

Sonoma County is an area on California's North Coast a little way north of San Francisco. Staying at a vacation rental in Sonoma County you'll be in a region known for its wine production – it's not as famous as the nearby Napa Valley, but offers picturesque rural scenery and numerous wineries that remain less frequented than its better-known neighbour.
Sonoma County vacation accommodation would certainly appeal to Oenophiles and bons vivants, with more than 250 wineries and some of the best restaurants in the region. Here you'll be able to enjoy a wide range of varietals, with syrah, merlot, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, zinfandel and chardonnay all grown here. At most wineries you'll be able to take guided tours of the facilities and take part in tasting sessions. There are 13 different wine regions within the county, each usually boasting a world-class product. In the summer months Sonoma County towns are home to farmers markets – cheese, olive oil and bread are all produced locally to a high standard. Meanwhile there's excellent dining to be had in locations such as Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Petaluma and Healdsburg.
There are some interesting sights to see around Sonoma County self-catering accommodation. There's the Petaluma State Historic Park, which preserves the base for General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo's agricultural wealth in California when it was a Mexican Province in the mid-19th Century. Meanwhile if you'd to enjoy the beautiful nature in the area you could head to the Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, home to the 1,400 year-old Armstrong Tree. The coast is also a great spot for walks and bike trips, with beautifully rugged scenery. Horseback riding is also popular here.
If you'd like to continue your viticultural experience, then the Napa Valley is just a short drive from Sonoma County vacation rentals. It's regarded as one of the world's top wine regions, with a wealth of vineyards and wineries, all accompanied by gourmet restaurants and surrounded by majestic rural scenery. Also here are ten golf courses and numerous spas.
On holiday at a Sonoma County self-catering vacation rental you'll experience a Mediterranean climate, with plenty of warm and dry weather from spring to autumn. Winters are mild, bringing more rainfall.
The best way to get to Sonoma County self-catering vacation accommodation from the UK would be to fly to San Francisco (AFO) from London Heathrow (LHR) with United Air Lines, Virgin or British Airways. From here you'll have no more than a 45-minute drive to reach your holiday accommodation.

Loved by community, Toni Peller dies at 80
By Jack Kintner
Thelma "Toni" Peller, 80, a long-time fixture at the Blaine senior center who was known for her love of color, her piercing blue eyes and gregarious affection for people, died last Friday in Bellingham.
Up until last year Peller was a programmer employed by the Whatcom County Council on Aging and assigned to the Blaine center, where she previously had worked as an office assistant and a volunteer.
Peller's mother died soon after she was born in December of 1927 in Burnaby, B.C. She lived with her grandfather and soon moved to Bremerton, Washington, where she grew up. Her first marriage was to a Canadian homesteader who moved her to the far north into a cabin with no running water or power. They eventually left by motorcycle on an extended trip that ended with her single and living in England.
There she met her second husband, Dick Terry, with whom she became a sailboat live-aboard. They sailed their boat from England through the Panama Canal to Thailand where they lived for a few years while both found work, Peller in a U.S. Naval base exchange.
But when he left her for a woman there, Peller returned via ship to Portland, Oregon. Though neither knew it at the time, she passed her future husband Gene's Vietnam bound ship the day she landed. Later they met in a Portland bar and according to friends were rarely out of each other's sight for the next 40 years.
Once in town Peller began volunteering, first at the Blaine Food Bank and then at the center.
"She loved color," said current senior center coordinator Barbara Fischer, "and every so often would get everyone to wear the same one. That's why at her celebration next week (March 13) we'll all be wearing blue."

News: Deal struck to protect whales from wind turbines
Groups developing offshore wind farms from New Jersey to Virginia have agreed to try to protect North Atlantic right whales.
The deal was announced Wednesday by several environmental groups and the developers. They say the voluntary measures are the first of their kind.
The developers are pledging to reduce or avoid loud noises that could affect the whales by avoiding building towers and doing other activities at the peak of whales' migratory season.
The companies also agree to watch for whales and to use tools and technologies to keep the work as quiet as possible.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan County's 2014 budget process is underway. County Administrator Adam Payne presented preliminary budget figures to county board members Tuesday evening. Based on current numbers, Payne said the county will have to cover a deficit of around 2.2 million dollars. He is confident that actions can be taken, such as health insurance changes and one- time money sources, to cover that. The current estimated impact on county taxpayers would be a three dollar increase on a one hundred thousand dollar home. The budget process continues on in committees, with board and public consideration in October.

It is the Make a Wish Foundation at its finest, going above and beyond to help make a sick valley boy's dream come true.
Darrius Lee is just 6-years-old and his whole life he's battled the life-threatening sickle cell disease, but on Saturday, he wasn't thinking about his sickness -- he got to be a hero.
Lee knows what he wants.
"I want to keep the world safe," he said.
That's why he wants to grow up and be a police officer.
"His wish is to be a police officer, eat doughnuts and catch bad guys," said Make a Wish Arizona's Laura Mitchell.
But instead of catching bad guys, he fights sickle cell disease daily, but not on this day thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation and the Phoenix Police Department. He's an officer, flying in a helicopter to spot crime and even eating doughnuts with his police pals.
"He's learned how to handcuff somebody the right way and he's having fun to which is part of the job as well, so he's going to do very, very well as a police officer," said Cmdr. T.J. Martin.
"I just want to say thank you. I've been out in Arizona for 20 plus years and this right here.. I've never felt this much love from the community," said Darrius' mother, Andrea Lee.
Darrius is one of 300 Arizona kids that get their dream come true and dozens of people came to watch it all unfold Saturday.
A staged scene at Chase Field leads Darrius and his police partners chasing down pretend bad guys who kidnapped his brother and using his new police skills, he handcuffed each of them.
"I think this right here will give him something to aspire to, that he might pay attention more to drinking his water and taking care of his health so he can volunteer or do something. You never know, anything can happen. He might be able to be one," said Andrea.
"It's a wonderful wish and I like all the good actions," said Darrius.
The good actions of a hero and a wish come true -- perhaps just the best kind of medicine.
The Make a Wish Foundation grants hundreds of wishes to children facing life-threatening illnesses and the first wish was actually granted right here in Arizona back in 1980 -- to a boy who also got to be a police officer for a day.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- An Antigo credit union joined 20 groups honored on Wednesday for their work in promoting financial literacy.
Covantage Credit Union was given the award at a special summit with the Governor. Rhinelander School teacher Patrick W. Kubeny was also honored. "Through their work to advance the cause of financial literacy, these worthy individuals and organizations are positively impacting the lives of thousands of people in communities across Wisconsin," said Governor Walker, who hosted the recipients in a ceremony at the Capitol. "Personal financial literacy is an important skill that can substantially improve the quality of life for people of all ages."
But that's not all that the state is doing to help promote better understanding of personal finance. State financial literacy director David Mancl says part of the money the state collects in settlements goes to towards finiancial literacy programs. These programs work hand in hand with the Department of Public Instruction. "We work with the Department to make available some funding for school districts to enhance financial education in schools."
Though 20 groups and people were honored, Mancl says other groups can get funding to help out. "We also have a grant program that is happening, and people can apply for these grants up until March 21." You can find out more about the grant program online at the Department of Financial Institutions Website.

10 Crazy Ways Smokers Finally Kicked the Habit
Creative ways to quit
by Sarah Klein
Quitting smoking is hard—just ask John Mellencamp. The 58-year-old rocker had a heart attack in 1994, but he still smokes.
Mellencamp's son Speck created a Facebook group in 2009 called "1,000,000 to Join, My Dad John Mellencamp Will Quit Smoking". If it attracted 1 million people, Mellencamp swore he'd kick the habit once and for all.
But you don't have to be a rock star to find creative ways to quit smoking—though you'll feel like one when you do. Here, some ex-smokers share the crazy things that finally helped them kick the habit.

Team 261, Item 115: A pink feather boa hanging out the window of the engine car of a moving, full-sized steam-powered locomotive.
I drove with my flatmate an hour and a half out to the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad to do this. It was a gorgeous drive and we geeked out over a tavern called The Roadhouse along the way. This was probably my favorite item to accomplish thanks to it encouraging us to go out and explore a place we'd likely never otherwise go to. Despite inclement weather, all of the volunteers running the train and station were incredibly kind and enthused to help us accomplish this.


text: There are precious moments on trail where your mind just spins and spins until it starts creating the silliest scenes and imaginative conversations – with friends or strangers and the strangest ideas come forth. This blog is a close second, but the ideas I came across were wild, borderline manic. Some moments, I would be on a tear, thinking about all the different things I could accomplish when I got back to the city. Write a book. Start a business. Big, lofty goals, seemed easy or attainable. This was another symptom of the PCT mind (for me, but I've seen/heard other hikers go through this). Sometimes, I would create comedic parodies satirizing every label possible. Many might be offended if I documented what I thought. Maybe someday I'll find the right timing to use some of it. Other mental conversations or images were just crazy. At the time, when I saw this small box of "Trail Guides", and acknowledged it was empty, I thought, what if someone came across this and they needed it? "Whoo, they're *really* out of luck!" After walking over 800 miles in almost every trail condition possible, this was the funniest thing, ever.

Rock climbing is fucking incredible.
by Wallrat February 28, 2005
Of all so-called "extreme sports" (activities that about 1/2 the time are undertaken, or claimed to have been undertaken, by otherwise boring people in a desperate attempt to become interesting), this is probably the trendiest way to give yourself the affectation of ruggedness, danger, physical fitness, etc. Note that most people who express an interest in rock-climbing or purchase incidental gear such as carabiners, have never climbed and never will.

Shattered Glass
Here. Its time I said something about this. I don't even know what I'm trying to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway. Why do humans have to be so dramatic all the time. Sure, I know every single day, new issues, and problems appear, and yes I understand that too many of these little problems make us want to tear our hair out. But why do we make a huge deal out of every single little problem we encounter. Act all upset, spread it around so everyone knows. Try and direct every ounce of peoples attention towards us, and it works. People are interested until they've heard all the scandal, and then someone will come up with some more. Its a vicious circle of attention and sympathy seeking. Listen. Some people have fucking real problems. You may have had a fight with your parents last night, and think everyone should hear about it. Some people don't have parents. You didn't get to sit beside your friend in class. Some people can't go to school. Her clothes are nicer than yours. Some people wear the same clothes every single day, because its all they own. You may think being dramatic and having problems makes you interesting, or impressive. I know many people do. But whats really impressive is a person who can take problems in her stride and deal with them quickly and quietly, without crying to her friends about them first. Save your tears and sympathy seeking for when you have a real problem. How do you know a real problem when you see one? well, if it wont matter to you, or anyone, this time next month, it doesn't really matter that much. I'm not saying never talk about any problems, ever, because, I know, talking about scandal is fun. I guess what I'm trying to say is, having petty little problems doesn't make you interesting, and going on about them and trying to make others feel bad for you and admire you because of them, is pathetic. Stop going on about that time you thought you were fat and didn't eat for 3 days. that time on a bad day you slit your wrist. That time you said the wrong thing to the wrong person. That time you fought with your mam. The time you didn't look pretty. The time a boy didn't like you.
Some people don't have parents to fight with. Some people's loved ones are dying of cancer, or are already dead. Some people cant look at themselves in the mirror without hating themselves. Some people can't get an education. Some people can't afford food or shelter. Some people cant speak, can't walk, can't hear or can't see. Some people are social outcasts because of their race, sexuality, or religion. Some people have are disabled, and can barely take care of themselves. Some people have terminal illnesses, and will never grow old. Some people live in fear of terrorist attacks. Some peoples hometowns are ravaged with war. Some people's brothers went off to fight in the army, and never came home. Some people, have real problems.
The ironic thing to me is, that the ones who deserve the most sympathy, don't ask for it. They strongly face their problems, and slowly but surely get on with their lives. They defy their problems and don't let anything hold them down. And this, if the most impressive thing a human being can do.
I don't think i've made much sense, but try to understand. Just next time a girl fancies your boyfriend, or your mam wont let you go out, remember, some people have real problems.
and the lord said unto the douchebag on the internet, "just because thy hath had thy leg amputated with a rusty hacksaw, doth not mean i cannot cry out in pain when i stub my toe."*
and then the other internet douchebag added, "yes, why don't you deal with your own goddamn problems instead of policing the coping mechanisms of complete strangers like a tool. and, additionally, this is trite bullshit that will accomplish nothing but making people feel even worse than they do about things. a+ contribution to humanity"
*asspullus, 01.12.34
You argued with your parents. Some people don't have parents.
You stubbed your toe. Some people don't have legs.
Does the argument hurt any less? Maybe, but it still hurts. Just because someone has a bigger problem doesn't automatically solve yours! You have every right to rant, vent, seek attention and comfort when something hurts, no matter how trivial it may seem to someone else.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) - A group of paragliders has joined in the search effort to find clues in the case of a 20-year-old nursing student who is believed to have been abducted from her West Tennessee home in April.
Dave Dubin, founder of Parasearchers.com, said a team of about five pilots searched on Sunday and again on Monday morning around the home of Holly Bobo near Parsons, Tenn., about 100 miles northeast of Memphis.
Dubin told WJHL-TV in Johnson City that through power paragliding they can get clear aerial views of the woods where Bobo was last seen. Bobo vanished April 13 after her brother said he saw her being led into woods by a man dressed in hunting camouflage.
Dubin said the group plans to resume searching later this week.

(WNFL) - The Milwaukee Bucks now say that a miscommunication with the N-B-A was at least partially why the team's new floor had to be taken out of commission. Bucks' vice-president John Steinmiller tells the Journal Sentinel that the team wanted a satin finish on its new floor -- but the league assumed it was using something else. N-B-A spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the misunderstanding. An exhibition game on October 25th never made it past the first quarter because so many players from the Bucks and Toronto were slipping. It's not known when the new floor will be ready. The Bucks heavily promoted the floor to help promote their new season. It's inspired by the much-beloved Robert Indiana design from 1977 on which the Bucks won a string of playoff games through the late 1980's. Once it returns, fans will see two large "M's" across the new floor -- similar to the Indiana design. In the meantime, the Bucks will use their old floor at the B-M-O Harris Bradley Center. Milwaukee hosts Cleveland tonight.

Today while wearing my Betty Rides Survival cargos, I gouged my leg on a branch whilst hitting a tree jib. Two inches deep, two wide, and five long- required 11 stitches. Did my pants rip?? No!!! and better yet, the blood sponged straight off the lining. Highly recommended for Survival!

ATLANTA (AP) - A Swainsboro man has been sentenced to serve more than seven years in federal prison for selling more than $9 million in stolen property on eBay and shipping the goods across state lines.
A federal judge on Monday sentenced Robert A. Hill to serve seven years and three months, followed by three years of supervised release. Hill also must pay more than $740,000 in restitution. He pleaded guilty to the charges in December.
In a parallel civil action, another federal judge ordered Hill to forfeit more than $44,000 in cash, two bank accounts worth more than $47,000, a Lexus and thousands of dollars' worth of electronics and jewelry.
Prosecutors say Hill sold stolen merchandise online and shipped it across state lines for more than 10 years through December 2011.
