Saying the TruthIf eyes could speak...
Hers would tell of her regrets
Never keep things in
She would be able to say sorry
She could say what she really want
She wouldn't have to hide behind her smile and eyes.
If he could see what's behind her eyes,
Maybe he could see that she truely wants him to tell her he forgives her.
If eyes could speak,
She would have no secrets.
If you search hard enough...
Everything she thinks
wants to say but can't
The world would know
Just read behind her eyes... You can learn it all.
CriticalDisguised in the madness
Wearing a smile just because she can
It hides everything...
A smile can't hide her tears forever
Can't cover up the lies forever
Can't be kept up forever
When she can reveal her true self,
She will
But first that girl must be found.
Please let her look without being critical.
Because this is critical to her.
Let her be her.
It's critical.
Tell herTell her she's pretty...
Because she doesn't think she is.
Tell her she's smart...
Because all of her mistakes make her feel stupid.
Tell her she's good enough...
Because she's been treated like she isn't...
Tell her she's amazing...
Because no one really thinks she is...
Tell her she's perfect...
Because she's incredibly flawed...
Tell her she's going to find a happy ending...
Because everything seems like it is going wrong...
Tell her she is worth it...
Because she feels worthless...
Tell her lies...
Because at this point she will believe them...
If you tell her the truth, she's bound to misunderstand.
Tell her lies. Go ahead.
Lie to me.
I need thisThese words.
These thoughts.
Ones I don't allow to leave.
Ones I am so ashamed of.
They are killing me inside...
Please tell me you won't judge me.
Please say you will help me.
Please say you will stand next to me while I figure this out.
I need someone.
I need a friend.
I need you right now.
Eight Little Blue PillsEight little blue pills.
An easy way out.
Two are the dose
Four is a high
Six is a possible death
Eight is a certain overdose.
Those eight little blue pills
Reside in her pocket.
At any moment she could take them
At any moment this could all end
At any moment...
She could be gone.
Those eight little blue pills...
Her desperation screams more than ever.
Help her...
Because she doesn't want to take them.
Even Puppy LoveFall in love...
Even if it is "puppy love"
Really fall in love.
What's life without puppy love?
But love is more than "puppy love"
Love is wanted.
Love is needed.
Love is hope
Love means there isn't only hate.
Even puppy love...
Fall in love.
Just let yourself fall in love.
I Haven't MovedVines grow over
My decaying carcass
I'm patient
He said he'd meet me right here
It's been a long time
I haven't moved
The trees have began
Shooting roots through me
Suffocating my heart
He told me to wait right here
So I've been patient
I haven't moved
My feet have become home
To a colony of mice
Who keep my bare toes warm
He told me he'd be back
It's been 100 years
AgainKiss me again...
Kiss my lips
my nose
my forehead
my neck
And this time don't stop.
I want to be kissed forever.
In those moments I know I must be beautiful
I must be special
I must be worth something...
Or you wouldn't want to be kissing me.
So Kiss Me Forever...
I'm kind of addicted to the rush it brings.
Disguised by Nature's Beauty
The trees hide us.
The birds in the sky disguise our voices.
We are in a moment of pure beauty.
This moment doesn't seem real.
It's too perfect to be real.
Emotions are running wild.
We are letting them.
There is no one else around us.
No one but nature to see.
I feel your heart beating.
I feel your chest move with each steady breath.
You feel me shiver.
You pull me closer.
Our lips come together for a moment.
Those tender lips I have wanted to touch.
I feel my heart skip a beat.
Your heart does too. I can feel it.
This moment seems so unreal... But it is real.
Disguised by Nature's Beauty...
We are invisible to everyone but each other...
What a beautiful moment.
the grass is always greenerfor a few years i've
lived in your shadow
but now i can't afford the
mortgage so i think
it's time for me to
pack my things and
(if you miss me
don't send postcards
i can't read.)
Burning SkyI long to feel the burning sky
ignite my dim and faded eyes.
I long for crimson cloud's caress
to light a spark upon my breath,
and wrap it's fire about my heels;
I long to feel.
'til ash becomes of embers bright
I long to lie within the light
and dance amidst it's dying heat,
this sky, this sun, my one retreat.
'til morning, I'll pretend it's real;
I long to feel.
she never had eyes as brightshe never had eyes as bright as
or song as clear as
but ever into her starry skies
I withered,
drawn into abysmal depths
by the promise
of a ravaged warmth,
somewhere near the centre.
at the zenith of her autumnal beauty,
I find myself lost;
her brilliant voice
in prosepoetry elegance
shall whisper "I love"
into corroded dark
and tear all of the roadblocks
from my mind.
DollHelp me, my doll.
I think I've begun to fade away.
I don't remember you at all.
I barely remember yesterday.
But we were walking through the grass so green.
I stopped dead when you looked through me.
I swear you can see my soul,
At least, whatever remains.
The sun began to feel so cold,
And I thought your tears were rain.
Help me, doll.
Because I cannot help myself.
You always knew that I would fall.
But I believed like no one else.
We used to walk through the grass so green.
I stopped dead when you looked through me.
You can look straight at my heart,
At least, whatever I call my core.
Your eyes still tear me apart,
But you don't love me any more.
All these years I silently hoped,
Everything would just fall back together.
But now you're out on the ropes,
And I'm swearing that I could get better.
A lost cause is always a lost cause,
No matter how hard we stall.
I'll bleed no matter how much gauze.
I thought you'd always be my doll.
little fire girl,My Little Broken Fire Girl,
whose fingers twist and tangle to keep feelings and thoughts and ungodly sounds from bubbling out. whose lips are bruised and chapped from being pursed, from cracking smiles for me, from biting and biting and biting. where's my little broken fire girl, with eyes like matches and words smooth and hot?
she keeps her hair flowing and she keeps her face bright, for even the dimmest fire's shine. on the brink of demise, all washed up and put out, my little broken fire girl lights my way and flickers up.
touch her and she'll burn, but fire's always been my friend, and i welcome her painful licks onto my skin. tame little fire's need to lash out, but this one's always been timid. you have to coax the magic out, the blue-white flame, onto the world to brighten it up.
you've gotta feed her the right wood, you've gotta sing the right spells, and my little broken fire girl will be your second sun.
eighteen.I AM NOT THE PRINCE YOU THINK I AM
the sky screeches through
my winter window as
i rush to slap my skin back
onto my bones and string
my teeth through my gums.
he promises i will miss the bus.

the weather has never failed
to swallow the house whole,
rattling the blinds,
biting into door frames.
give me
my acne caked face
UndeterredIn travels that I've yet to plan
and plan, I never will,
down miles of unfamiliar trails
I'll venture on until
my feet should find a forest's edge
of twisted branch and root,
the shadow of its overgrowth
awaiting my pursuit.
And though the trees shall warn me,
"you will walk beside your fear;
for many braver than yourself
have lost their way in here"
my trembling hands will steady;
I'll accept the truths I've heard,
and if fate should bid I enter
I'll walk forward undeterred.
Trifle heartsThank you, good sir,
for ripping my heart out.
It was a trifle little thing, wasn't it?
You know no one needs
such an unnecessary object.
To feel nothing! What a wonderful thought!
We could become emotionless
We could become cardboard
How wonderful it would be!
To be a board, stiff and rigid,
Nothing would waver us
not even the wind
Immune to everything.
Every emotion
Every thought
Immune to it all.
The touch of someone's hand on your own
would be without emotion.
Just a sense.
Nothing more.
Does that sound nice?
It does, doesn't it?
All of the violence would be gone.
All of the sorrow would be wiped away.
Anger, sadness, fear
All gone.
Because of a trifle little
But with it...
that was gone, too.
Never again would we laugh
Nothing would be silly or stupid
No more goofiness, no more quirkiness
No more genuine smiles.
No more happy thoughts.
No more dreams or hopes.

"Doesn't that sound nice?" you say.
A nod.
Nothing more.
"It does sound nice," I say.

Paper Crane WishI didn't know what to get you,
to help you get better.
So I made you this.
It's a wishing crane.
We'll write your wish on it's wings.
And tie it to a balloon.
You and I, we'll drop it out
of your hospital window.
Up it will fly,
Into the stars.
Letting your dreams take wing.
I wish you'll be happy when I'm gone.
I'll never know what you wrote.
You never told me
How special I was.
How much it meant
That I visited.
That I cared enough
To be there for you.
To make you happy with jokes and stories.
But now you're gone.
I sit alone,
Windows open.
Letting the cool breeze fill my mind.
In through the window,
A paper crane lands on my lap.
Scrawled across it's wings,
In a handwriting I know better than my own,
I'll be waiting for you.
Live life for both of us.
Wiping the tears away from my eyes,
I put the crane next to my bed.
With the pictures of you and me.
I look out the window, into the sky.
Dragons are RealI miss being little.
When dragons were in my imagination
And I could count on my knight in shining armor to rescue me
He always would come
I miss being little
When the worst thing someone could do was tattle
And to feel better you called them a tattle-tale
And you would forget about it the next day
I miss being little
When boys were icky and had cooties
And touching them meant you got cooties
They couldn't hurt you then...
I miss being little
When tears were shed over a skinned knee
And the death of Mufasa in The Lion King
A kiss would make everything better
I miss being little
When you had a bad dream you could climb into Mom and Dad's bed
Not sit alone c

The Simplest Test of Inflation Target Credibility
AbstractA simple test of inflation target credibility is constructed by subtracting the maximum and minimum inflation rates consistent with the inflation targets from the yields to maturity on nominal bonds. This results in a target-consistent range of real yields on nominal bonds. If expected real yields, or market real interest rates on real bonds if they are available, fall outside the range of target-consistent real yields, credibility is rejected. Two concepts of credibility, called absolute credibility and credibility in expectation, are distinguished. The credibility of inflation targets of Canada, New Zealand and Sweden are examined diagrammatically.

This is Nancy. She's the heroine (?) of Unmasked, Simon's better half and a nice girl with a thing for dangerous toys.I dig her capelet.
Aah, Ray. Easily my favourite member of the extended supervillain team, and the most adorable mad scientist. She was the quickest design to nail down - something about those dreds and the rasta-buck rogers look appealed to me."Evil genius, momma. Trust the evil."

Concept sketch for some of the varied villains of Unmasked. We ended up simplifying Claude's trousers a tad, because redrawing that lot a dozen times would be bloody murder. This is as close to Simon's final look as we got.I adore Claude. Think of him as Wolverine of Finland, and you're pretty damn close to how he rolls.
Tags: concept art Unmasked Simon Claude Blacknight Talons
Simon van Zandt has been on the losing side of one too many sanctimonious smackdowns. His days as Blacknight are over - he's hung up the cowl in favour of nine to five, TV dinners and blue jeans. Normality is safe. Normality is boring.So when he's given the chance to enter a life of crime, he jumps at the chance. But is it enough to satisfy a man used to the larger-than-life thrills of supervillainy, or will Simon's lust for dangerous thrills put his career - and his life - on the line?Unmasked is full of broken teeth and grim humanity, with all the grit, blood, sweat and swearing left in. I cut my publishing teeth on this story, and I couldn't be prouder to work on such a wonderfully filthy title. Mr Christian Read has spun a hell of a tale, and my effort on the art ain't so shabby either, for a first try.Unmasked is available from Graphicly.com (click the picture for a link).

Found December 28, 2012 on Down and Distance:
PLAYERS: Jason Garrett, Chan Gailey, Ryan Fitzpatrick, C.J. Spiller, Norv Turner, Andy Reid, Rex Ryan, Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, New England Patriots
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, New England Patriots
5- Jason Garrett, Cowboys Photo credit: bullcitystateofmind.com I don't think Jason Garrett has much to worry about. It definitely wouldn't hurt to get a win over the Redskins this week and clinch the very competitive NFC East. That being said, he IS the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and will have to deal with Jerry Jones after the season ends. If Garrett's team makes the playoffs and gets a postseason win or two he should be a lock to be on Dallas's sideline in 2013. If the team doesn't make the playoffs and gets blown out by RG3 and the Redskins, Jerry Jones might be out on the warpath. This is "America's Team". The postseason is not only something the team hopes for, it's downright expected. Don't be surprised if things go bad for Dallas in week 17 and Jason Garrett is given his walking papers. Personally, I think he'll be back. But you never know when it comes to Jerry Jones. 4- Chan Gailey, Bills photo credit: buffalonewyorktourism.com The Bills fanbase is calling for Chan Gailey's head on a platter. Every week, his play calls seem to make more and more people scratch their heads. a 15-32 record in three years (for a dismal 418 winning percentage) isn't NFL head coach material… especially after the team spent extravagant amounts of money on the defense this past offseason. He's been criticized heavily during the season for being conservative when he should be taking chances and taking chances when an effective coach would take it down a notch. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that Gailey prefers to let mediocre QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throw instead of giving the ball to rising star running back CJ Spiller. Fans are fed up, players are frustrated and Chan should be out the door at the end of the season. 3- Norv Turner, Chargers Photo Credit: Bleacherreport.net Norv Turner basically lives on the hot seat. If he survives this offseason, he might as well start having his mail forwarded there. There's no doubt that offensively he knows the game. His problem lies in his lack of ability to inspire his players. An important part of being a head coach in the NFL is the ability to rally the troops. I think he'll get a job elsewhere, but his days in San Diego are over. He won't be the only one to go, though. It's being reported that General Manager AJ Smith might be on his way out too. This team needs a leader, and Norv Turner just isn't the man for the job anymore. 2- Andy Reid, Eagles Photo credit: gcobb.com The hot seat is scorching for Andy Reid. The Eagles were supposed to be the real deal. After the "dream team" debacle last season, this was supposed to be the year that the Eagles proved that it was just a fluke and that they were real contenders. Instead, they sit at 4-11. They're the worst team record wise in the NFC. I almost feel… bad for Andy Reid. Not only is he about to lose his job that he has held since 1999, he went through the loss of his son during training camp. No parent should have to go through that, especially in the public eye like Reid did. Andy Reid IS a good coach. Unfortunately, time caught up to him. Not many head coaches can say that they were in charge of the same team for over ten years. Coach Reid should leave with his head held high. Although he never won a super bowl, he was a class act through and through. I think he should take a year off and deal with his family and personal problems before throwing himself into the chaos that is the NFL again. And yes, I DO think he'll be back in the NFL. 1- Rex Ryan, Jets This was supposed to be the year for gang-green. With offseason improvements across the board and the acquisition of possibly the most polarizing player in the league in Tim Tebow, this was supposed to be the year that the Jets finally overtook the New England Patriots. Not only did that not happen, but they took a big step backwards. This team is a mess. At 6-9, they underachieved in a big way. The Tebow experiment was a monumental failure. Mark Sanchez was a major letdown. Rex Ryan has lost his locker room in a huge way. One of the poster boys for hard work and a "team" mentality, Tim Tebow, has reportedly openly defied the coaches and refused to be a part of the team's wild card packages (although now Tebow denies this). Ryan has lost this team at a level that few coaches have before. If he's back next season, things are only going to get worse. The post Top 5 Coaches on the Hot Seat Going Into Week 17 appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE.

I love "Storm-at-Sea" patterns. This is a better way to sew it. I am enjoying paper piecing. taught by Peggy Martin. This is just up my ally. Thanks Barbara Weiland!
Thanks so much. I agree--foundation piecing makes it much easier to get precise points and you don't have make templates for those diamond sections!Barbara
Love this so much I wanted to use it as a screen saver. Couldn't save to my pictures so you know what that means, yep have to make my own to get a pics of it. This is definetly my favorite quilt using the storm at sea blocks.
I have posted pictures of my Hearts Entwined quilt based on your pattern.
this quilt is so pretty..i love it..
Thanks so much!
Do you really need 3 1/2 yards of fabric for the binding? I'm thinking 1/2 yd will do it?
Thanks for catching my typo--1/2 yard it is!Barbara
Thanks to all who have loved and purchased this pattern. There is a typo in the binding yardage. You only need 1/2 yard--not 3 -1/2!
I uploaded a new version today with a few typos corrected and the Diamond template revised as I heard from someone that there was a problem. If you have downloaded this pattern previous to 3/23/12, go to your Pattern Library and download it again to replace the old file. My apologies to all for the error.
I hate paper piecing, but I LOVE this pattern. I guess I might just need to suck it up! Barbara, I want to make this quilt to raffle off for a fund raiser for my public library. Can I have permission to do so?
So sorry I didn't respond. Yes, it's OK to use any of my patterns for fundraisers.

Fort Harrison State Park hosted a Vietnam War Reenactment October 6th. Looking for something to do, we drove over to the park. We saw the sign at the entrance but I said nothing. I really didn't know how to feel about glorifying this war in this way. Beyond that, Tom was with me and discussing Vietnam is mostly off limits. I was just about speechless when he said he wanted to go.
As we approached, we heard the repeating rounds growing louder and louder. I kept looking over at him. I don't know who was more nervous... him or me. And then we were there... looking on. The landscape made it more than real. The gunfire came in rapid bursts, over and over, staggering in degree and intensity. I said, "Did it sound like this"? Tom replied, "Times a hundred". Vietnam became real for me this day... the reenactment no longer questionable. Necessary.
A step back in time... a time we should never forget.

I imagine that such a re-enactment among veterans who actually particpated in the war would provide a great sense of relief, even closure. The veterans who particpated in the great Gettysburg Reunions in 1888, 1913, and 1938 found great satisfaction in returning to the scene of the carnage. (My father ushered at the 1938 Reunion. He was a Boy Scout.)

Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,
And make me travel forth without my cloak,
To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way,
Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?
'Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break,
To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face,
For no man well of such a salve can speak
That heals the wound and cures not the disgrace:
Nor can thy shame give physic to my grief;
Though thou repent, yet I have still the loss:
The offender's sorrow lends but weak relief
To him that bears the strong offence's cross.
Ah! but those tears are pearl which thy love sheds,
And they are rich and ransom all ill deeds.
William Shakespeare, Sonnet 34
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
William Shakespeare, Sonnet 30
Bertrand Russell, "What is an Agnostic?" 1953

Broccoli Healthy Food Guide
Peak season: Although broccoli is available year-round, it is at its best in fall and winter.
Recipe shown above: Broccoli with Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Broccoli is one of America's favorite everyday vegetables: affordable, always available and densely packed with the plant nutrients essential to healthful, Mediterranean-style eating.
Only in the last several years has broccoli been in my diet and I really enjoy preparing it in some many of my meals. To find out that it is so good for you is a blessing.

Delta RPMs is a bandwidth saver. Instead of downloading full rpm files on updates, delta rpms (.drpm) hold only the changes in binary form. The size of the packages is now significantly reduced thus saving bandwidth. Once downloaded the drpm file get reconstructed to form the full package before they gets applied. On avg I see 70% bandwidth savings after moving to Presto.
Presto is the Fedora project to enable delta rpms on all Fedora repositories. Fedora 11 is Presto enabled.
I'll walk you through setting presto up.
1. Search your repos to make sure the yum-presto package is available.
[root@bamboo]# yum search yum-presto
2. Install the yum-presto package.
[root@bamboo]# yum install yum-presto
3. Try running an update to see presto in action.
[root@bamboo]# yum -y update
Finishing rebuild of rpms, from deltarpms
<delta rebuild> | 79 MB 01:14
Presto reduced the updates to 33 M from 79 M which is a 59% savings.

Almost all corporate users today use notebooks at work. The "Lenovo ThinkPad" is a favorite choice. Why? I don't know. I at my work place we are all on Lenovo ThinkPads.
Earlier this week Lenovo issued a battery recall program for it's ThinkPad R60, R61, T60, T61, X60 and X61 series. The faulty batteries either held only minimum charge or completely stop functioning. Lenovo has come back to ensure the faulty batteries don't pose any risk to the end users.
To check if your battery falls into the bad battery list, head on over to Lenovo's battery recall page. Download and run the Battery Diagnostic Tool to check your battery model, if compromised you will be redirected to another page to initiate the replacement process.

The PS3 slim is almost here. I'ts coming out in September and prices at USD 299.
It's slim, has a tough looking black finish, weighs in at 7.05lb and comes standard with a 120GB hard disk. All squeezed into the new slim form factor.
Check out the PS3 Slim intro by Sony's Jack Tretton.

Here's a comparison chart I pulled off engadget.
I'm not sure, I've go a white PS3 at home and somehow feel it looks better then slim. Well, I've only seen photos of the PS3 Slim so far, might just change my mind when I actually get to see one up close and personal.
Anyone know when we can expect to see the PS3 Slim in Malaysia?

I went enh till I got to the lvl where I could get totem of wrath by respeccing ele. I found ele to be much more fun, and if talented/stacked correctly the mana regen never becomes an issue. It's been much more fun killing things before they can even get close to me (even if they do, t-storm + FRAWST SHAWK make sure they stay away) than getting my hands dirty and having to chase after frightened mobs for a kill. I think definately enh till lvl 50 is the way to go, but after that it's just a matter of preferred play style.

Mental Toughness
The Mindset Behind Sporting Achievement
By Michael Sheard
Routledge – 2010 – 160 pages
Routledge – 2010 – 160 pages
Mental toughness is one of the most common terms used in sport – by athletes, coaches, spectators and the media. However, it is also one of the least understood terms. This book provides a definitive and readable overview of the area, and presents the cutting-edge research in the field of mental toughness.
The book introduces the historical and conceptual arguments behind this research, and looks at the characteristics and development of mentally tough sport performers. It suggests that mental toughness is a personality style and mindset, presenting a case for its inclusion within the positive psychological paradigm. The book also explores various measures of this concept and their psychometric properties, and considers cultural and national perspectives as well as the possibility of mental toughness heredity. Sheard exposes the development and maintenance of mental toughness as a factor for successful sport and life performance, and discusses the possibilities for future research on the subject.
This book is unique in considering the idea of mental toughness as an 'achievement mindset' and is an invaluable resource for sport and exercise psychology and science students and lecturers. It also provides an important reference for sport participants, coaches, and enthusiasts.
"This book is a useful addition to the published work available to students and lecturers in higher education institutes. …It provides additional support for the use of mental skills in the preparation of any serious athlete for competition. Reading this book should stimulate the reader to investigate the ways in which mental skills can be taught, learned, and refined now that the case for their importance has been made." – John F. Mathers, University of Stirling, in Journal of Sports Sciences
"This book makes a valuable contribution to sport psychology by providing a one-stop shop for mental toughness, but its audience is likely to be more far-reaching to include related fields such as coaching and occupational psychology." – Kate Goodger, sport psychologist, in The Psychologist
"Mental toughness is an idea whose time has come. Solidly anchored in scientific research, the book presents an overview of what mental toughness is, how to measure it, and factors leading to its development. Written in an engaging style, it is accessible to scholars and students alike." – Robert J. Vallerand, Université du Québec à Montréal
"This is a welcome contribution to the sport psychology literature, focusing on a topic which applied sport psychologists deal with constantly but which has rarely received specific attention in this way. This book will go a long way towards helping to correct this situation, and is written in a very accessible, no-nonsense style that I find very appealing." – John Kremer, School of Psychology, Queen's University, Belfast
"I bought Michael Sheard's book to help with my research towards a PhD. Unlike many books of this type I found it both academic and accessible. It's a great resource for students, practitioners or those with a general interest in Mental Toughness and its complexities. It is highly recommended!" – Matthew Ellis, Lecturer in Coaching, Myerscough College
Introducing Mental Toughness. Characterizing Mental Toughness. Conceptualizing Mental Toughness. Measuring Mental Toughness. Developing and Maintaining Mental Toughness. Concluding Mental Toughness.
Michael Sheard is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at York St John University. His educational qualifications include a PhD in sport positive psychology. Sheard has published widely on mental toughness, hardiness, and positive psychology, and presented his work at conferences worldwide. He is a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society.

Sqtsquish, Thank you for that wonderful serving of tripe. I'm a holy Paladin, but I recently pulled out the tank set I've been holding back, shined it up, and tanked a few heroics and some ICC trash farming expenditions. Thank God I didn't read your diatribe first, if I'd done that and believed you, I NEVER would have taken up the tank role.
Thank you for propagating an attitude that is contributing to the tank shortage.
There will be more tanks to go around when EVERYONE starts to realize it is EACH AND EVERY person's OWN responsibility to make a group succeed. If tanks and healers generally have a larger portion of the burden, it's everyone else's job to do what they can to ease it (read: watch aggro, listen, not stand in crap, learn from mistakes, etc.)

On her last day at one job, her 75-year-old supervisor asked her to help move some heavy things in her house. In her garage, the supervisor opened a door from which issued a blinding stream of light.From a NYT article, "The No-Limits Job," about how far some young people will go for a job. Yikes.
"It was a huge room filled with her own field of marijuana plants," Ms. Schiller said. "She conscripted me for no pay to harvest it overnight. She makes $35,000 per crop and it goes straight to her retirement account."
The intern's payment the next morning: a breakfast burrito.
hahaha, a Seattle news station decided to film people driving after smoking pot.
"Despite the fact that one of the volunteers was already three times over the legal limit before the start of the test — and all three volunteers were over four times the legal limit after their initial toke — they were still doing fine behind the wheel.
It was only after the subjects had smoked nearly a gram of pot that they were too stoned to drive."
At least, by the end, they all recognized they shouldn't be driving.
Also, I had no idea how broad the interpretation of "safe driving" to cops and instructors is.

Four women and their "manager" were arrested in an undercover prostitution sting in Palm Desert, a sheriff's corporal said Friday.
The sting was conducted about 7 p.m. Thursday by officers from the Palm Desert Police Department Business District Team, sheriff's Cpl. Angel Ramos said.
Sheriff's officials would not immediately disclose the sort of business where this alleged prostitution ring was taking place, due to the ongoing investigation.
Arrested on suspicion of prostitution were Torri Wilkinson, 31, of Salt Lake City, Utah, 40-year-old Yunhua Lu from San Gabriel and 25-year-old Tricia Rodriguez of Coachella.
Mei Jun Wang, 45, of La Quinta was arrested on suspicion of pandering, Ramos said.
23-year-old Coachella resident Reynaldo Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion of managing prostitution, he added.
All the suspects were booked at the county jail in Indio.
"This operation is part of the continued effort of the Palm Desert Police Department Business District Team to maintain a high quality of life within the City of Palm Desert," Ramos said. "Additional enforcement operations and compliance checks will be conducted in the future."

This capacitor does its job of regulating the voltage to the amplifier. I still get my lights flickering. The bass is a bit more powerful (I did a voltage test), but if the bass is constant and does not give the capacitor any time to charge, the voltage will drop to 10v and your bass will start to skip. This capacitor is not bad, but I would recommend a better one for the same price.

Countless friends and loved ones are remembering a Cosby High School senior, who lost his life on Friday.
Tyler Patnaude was killed in a car wreck in Chesterfield. He was the only one in the car who didn't survive.
Sunday, more than 100 people lit candles to honor the Tyler's memory. The Midlothian Woodlake Pavilion was crowded with students and loved ones wearing red and shedding tears.
Tyler couldn't wait to attend the New Mexico Military Institute next year. Red is the school's color. Tyler's mother Yvonne says her son already ordered his sweatshirt.
"He was so proud. He put his name on the back (of the sweatshirt)," said Yvonne.
Tyler will never get the chance to attend his dream school. His family is trying to find peace, as they comprehend the loss of such a kindhearted link to their family.
"He would come up to me and say, 'Mom, give me a hug,'" remembered Yvonne.
Tyler's family says he led a short, but full life. His main joy was sailing.
"He loved to sail. And the water is where he loved to be," continued Yvonne.
Tyler was a strong competitor, and instructor. However, he was better known as a loving friend, to most everyone.
"I can't imagine my life without him, right now," said Chandler Bolin, one of Tyler's closest friends.
"Huge heart... Even the people that nobody really talked to in school, (Tyler) was the first one to go up to them with a huge smile and wanted to be friends with everybody," added another friend, Alec Gendron.
"He was always so grateful. He would always say thank you. He appreciated everything. He was a giver," described Yvonne.
Now, Tyler will give with his legacy, living life to the fullest at every moment.
"He sailed as much as he could. That's all he ever wanted to do, was be out on the water," continued Alec.
"He's at peace, and that gives us peace and hope," said Yvonne, standing with Tyler's father and sister.
"We just ask God to be with us through these days, to get through this," said Chandler, emotionally.
Students at Cosby High School are planning to wear red Monday to school, to honor Tyler's memory.
Tyler's memorial service will be this Tuesday at 3 p.m., at the Clover Hill Assembly of God Church in Chesterfield.

Movie Review: August: Osage County
Austin360.com | Austin American-Statesman
The arrival of the movie version of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play "August: Osage County" should be cause for celebration. It has a top-notch cast, with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Chris Cooper, Julianne Nicholson and Benedict Cumberbatch. Letts penned the big-screen adaptation. And John Wells ("The Company Men") directs.
But don't rush to see the movie simply because you enjoyed the stage production. You'll probably be disappointed.
The question, of course, is why?
And the answer is complicated, involving over-the-top scenery chewing, deep tonal inconsistencies and surprisingly ineffective portrayals by the men in the supporting roles, most notably those by McGregor and Cumberbatch, who is woefully miscast.
Let's start with the scenery chewing. Streep is clearly one of the great actresses of our time, but as family matriarch Violet, she overcommits to being drug-addled, vindictive and downright mean. To play the role, Streep shaved her head and donned a big, black wig — a typical change in physical appearance that smells of Oscar ambition. But no physical transformation can make up for the intentional horrors that Streep's Violet inflicts on her family.
The family includes an alcoholic father and failed poet, played by Sam Shepard, who quickly goes missing for several days after hiring a new American Indian cook. His disappearance brings various family members back home to Oklahoma, and you quickly realize that all of them will gather around the family dinner table and trade verbal abuse and long-held grudges.
The most notable daughter is Barbara (Roberts), who arrives with her husband and daughter and is expected to take charge of the squabbling homestead. In the stage version, she and her mother are worthy opponents. But in the movie, Streep's Violet, in full banshee mode, overwhelms Roberts' Barbara.
Barbara is battling far more than her raving mother, however. She's separated from her professorial husband Bill (played by a wasted McGregor), and she has an alienated teenage daughter named Jean (played by Abigail Breslin).
Barbara is also busy rolling her eyes at her wayward sister Karen (Lewis), who has come back to Oklahoma with her newest boy toy (Dermot Mulroney). And Barbara doesn't have much in common with her other sister Ivy (Nicholson), who has stayed in Oklahoma and seems to be being groomed as the family caretaker. The only problem: Ivy plans to run away to New York with her first cousin — and secret lover — Little Charles Aiken (Cumberbatch).
Little Charles, meanwhile, is the son of Violet's sister Mattie Fae (Martindale) and husband Charlie (Cooper). And Texas native Martindale summons all of her folksiness to play a rather unlikable character who's not only manipulative but also nearly as mean as sister Violet.
The movie is being marketed as a comedy, but sometimes the humor is so dark that it's repulsive. I suppose you could give in to the darkness and embrace the on-screen insults, if you really were determined to like this version of "August: Osage County." But it's hard to laugh at such deep family dysfunction.
Perhaps the real problem with the movie is this: a lack of high-brow wit. Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" had lots of memorable one-liners amid the insults. So did most of the plays by Tennessee Williams. But whatever wit was in the original stage version of "August" has been overshadowed here by Streep's performance. She'll probably get an Oscar nomination. But for once, I don't think she deserves it.
The arrival of the movie version of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play "August: Osage County" should be cause for celebration. It has a top-notch cast, with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Chris Cooper, Julianne Nicholson and Benedict Cumberbatch. Letts penned the big-screen adaptation. And John Wells ("The Company Men") directs.(Full review)

Word is now filtering out that CM Punk had expressed his frustrations with WWE while speaking with people at the Wizard World convention in Portland this past Friday. Those in attendance stated that he seemed disinterested and disengaged from his job.
John Cena made an appearance at the Wizard World convention in Austin today, and he is now headed to Boston for the Survivor Series.
"There are so many Divas who have come and gone who have left their mark in WWE: Ivory, Jazz, Lita, etc. … Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man," so if I had to choose one, it'd be the Diva who most people would consider the greatest Diva of all time, Trish Stratus. The only reason I'd choose her is because I know in my heart that I can put her down."
"I'm just grateful for the moments I got to spend with her. Both Moolah and Mae were an important part of my life in WWE, especially in my first couple years in the company as they were my biggest cheerleaders. They were always encouraging me and telling me they liked how I didn't 'wrestle like a girl'. She was an inspiration to me and so many of the girls in the locker room. I used to tell her 'Mae, I want to be just like you when I grow up'. I'm going to miss her a lot."

We will be finished with our chapter 13 in January 2014...My question is we owe a total of 338.28....yet we have over 13,320.00 balance on hand, by january it will be over 20,000.00. Has anyone had extra money left over after paying everyone, and where did that money go?
I don't know what is happening to it .We pay 2,360.00 a mth . My hope is that at the end of the bankruptcy, we will receive a check for 20,000.00...I would cry all the way to the bank, but be so happy!!..My fear is that it will be used to pay more than the agreed upon percentage to our creditors..only time will tell.
our trustee told us that any funds above the payment amount received would be sent to creditors. but I have heard of a lot of people getting refunds. So I dont know. I would contact your attorney asap. We are paying the exact amount we owe for our base. On your trustee report does it show a balance due for the base?
Our trustee has changed the base amount 3 different times...The last papers we received were back in july 2012. it showed us how much was needed to meet the base. and in some papers that I found it mentions that "cases are entered into our system pursuant to the plan, which may state a specific percentage that unsecured creditors are to receive. This is the minimum due to those creditors, if we are able to pay that minimum percentage prior to meeting your base, we will manually raise the percentage to unsecured creditors.". So I am sure this is what's going to happen, the 20,000.00 left over at the end of the bankruptcy will be distributed among the unsecured creditors. Doesn't seem fair since they had already agreed on the percentage they were getting paid from the start or back in 2008..

He didn't get job done
Juan C. Rodriguez
Sun Sentinel
Somebody has to wear it, and for lack of a better alternative, it should have been Terry Francona. General manager Theo Epstein said Francona would not be branded the scapegoat. Teams don't lose nine-game September leads and not have a scapegoat.
Are others more deserving? Probably, but what are the Red Sox to do? Release John Lackey and eat the remaining $45.75 million on his deal? Admit Carl Crawford was a bust and make a request that he proves worthy of the $122 million owed him? Let the wunderkind GM bolt for the Cubs because his blueprint called for guys such as Andrew Miller, Erik Bedard and Tim Wakefield to start key games?
Ultimately, it was Francona's job to keep his team loose down the stretch. The Red Sox were anything but that.
Success breeds failure
Dave van Dyck
Each manager is hired with an expiration date, which usually runs out quicker in large media markets where expectations are raised to impossible levels.
Terry Francona won the first World Series in Boston in more than eight decades, as did Ozzie Guillen on Chicago's South Side.
And now they are both gone after hugely disappointing seasons that might have been faults of general managing more than managing, more the faults of players than who was playing them.
Is it fair? Probably not.
But both ultimately were poisoned from the taste of success they helped brew.
Spread the blame
Jeff Otterbein
Hartford Courant
Who's to blame for the Red Sox's collapse? It's a long list.

Track saws are good for ripping sheets of plywood, but the tracks are long and the systems require a dedicated saw. Kreg's Rip-Cut fence allows you to use a standard circular saw (sidewinder or wormdrive) to make straight rips in sheet goods and lumber. Just clip the saw in, slide the saw base to the desired spot on the rail, and lock it in place. The large guide arm prevents blade binding, and the unit is capable of ripping full sheets of plywood in half.

In the Hebrew Bible, there is significance to many numbers. Today we see the special symbolic significance of number seven.The Hebrew Bible is saturated with the Number.
Lifnei iver (Hebrew: לפני עיוור), meaning "before the blind", is a phrase used to describes the sin of placing a stumbling block before a blind person.
The origin of this phrase comes from the Book of Leviticus 19:14-
" לֹא-תְקַלֵּל חֵרֵשׁ--וְלִפְנֵי עִוֵּר, לֹא תִתֵּן מִכְשֹׁל; וְיָרֵאתָ מֵּאֱלֹהֶיךָ, אֲנִי יְהוָה."

" Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one."( Deuteronomy 6:4)
Tzedakah (Hebrew : צדקה), meaning charity, refers to the religious obligation of the Jewish pepole to perform charity and philanthropic acts.
The word Tzedakah is based on the Hebrew word Tzedek which means righteousness or justice.
Judaism emphasizes that Tzedakah is a very important part of living a spiritual

This is the fourth time I attempted the model, and the first time I completed it. All the other times I faulted the paper (and just possibly a bit my folding ability) for the failure. This time I made some double tissue, which is one of the recommended paper choices for the model. And indeed I succeeded in completing the model. It might not be the tidiest fold, but I am still happy that I managed to complete it this time round. Also see a picture of the back view.
Paper: 48cm square of double tissue
Model: 18cm length, 21cm wingspan
i would not like to have his face
would kraft paper work well on this? or any of satoshi's work?
i already know it doesnt work well with alot of lang's work
Actually, I do think quite a few of Robert Lang's models work well with Kraft paper. As to Satoshi Kamiya's models - I have seen e.g. the ancient dragon folded from Kraft paper. However, using double tissue (or indeed: origamido) will be easier and deliver nicer results. By easier I do not mean the model will be easy to fold, of course, it will just be a tiny bit less super-complex. ;)
-- Sara
Sara could you post a new photo of this with the modified spikes ? I'm saying this because at this photo you can't understand where the face is you see only spikes
Well i am just 12 but i got as far as step 170, where my paper tore due to strain. here, not many good papers nor methyl cellulose are sold. so my only choice was to use 51 cm. tracing paper. it normally gets strained at the part where you have to squash the top portion while pleating. i tried about 45 times, to no good results.
What kind of paper did satoshi kamiya use? and what kind of paper is good for the model? AND where can i buy it? AND, where (if you know) can you buy big/huge metallic sheets? --Thanks!
Kamiya probably used handmade 1/2 hemp 1/2 abaca paper.
I think Satoshi Kamiya uses Origamido paper, and probably a special blend. I used double tissue, which works well. I'm not sure where / if you can buy double tissue, I made it myself (2 sheets of tissue paper, plus MC). You can see a video on how to do this at http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-double_tissue
For metallic sheets - if 50cm width is sufficient - you can try http://www.origami-shop.com/en/origami-papers-foilpaper-xsl-207_500_221....
Rolls of 50cm by 10m are available. I haven't tried the paper myself, but have heard reports that the quality is really good (as to be expected if sold in Terry's shop).
-- Sara
IN subject, THANK YOU!
The head seems to spring apart. you could put it together with a rubber band. But the body is good! (good job choosing the color)
I actually shaped the head a bit differently after I made the picture. The spikes on the head now point to the back, rather than the front. I think it does look a bit better that way (and definitely more like Satoshi Kamiya's version).
-- Sara
made mine with 74.8 cm craft paper and looks amazing will try again with other colores like black and brown (mine is white)
I haven't attempted the Divine Dragon yet. I've heard it's quite a bit easier to fold than the Ancient Dragon, but I've never really felt that motivated to fold it...
-- Sara
The Bahamut is actually easier to fold than the Ancient Dragon. The Ancient Dragon takes me 3-4 hours on average, but I folded the Bahamut through 235 or so in 1.5 hours/. (Still need to finish it--been too lazy.
This one is alot more fun than the ancient dragon whitch is really boring i folded 4 times with only one realy satisfactory one out of 40 by 40 cm double tissue paper whitch was really thin and it is a little bit eisier than the ancient dragon seeing there are not so many sinks also im only 12 and folding for 6 months
dude nice u can make bahamut. only prob with me is i dont have rite paper :(
But I've been folding for about 8 years. But it sounds like your better than me.
My first attempt I failed and faulted the paper (I used gift wrapping paper) and after a couple more attempts I didn't think my folding ability was up to par so I didn't even try for over a year or so. My fourth attempt I used double tissue as I just started doing the whole MC thing and I completed it about july or aug of this year.
Congratulations upon completing your first Ancient Dragon! :D I know very well how many headaches this model can give you, especially if you don't use the right paper or the right paper size. Yours looks extremely good for a first try! (and I say extremely good because I see that you used only a 48 cm square, which is a small paper for such a complex model - thus your work result should be even more appreciated ; if I'm not mistaking, the book recommends a 50 cm paper right? ) Good work! I wonder if you stop only at one dragon, 'cause I had to fold some more after I completed my first :D .
Pretty impressive... You know... u should start creating your own models becuz You are so experienced with these types of folds. I alredy started to create my own models.
Just asking:
You're not Daniel Kwan, are you?
I have a few designs of my own, too. Some of my favorite are my:
Pegasus, Hercules Beetle 3.0, Samurai Helmet Beetle, and one of the models I designed as part of a challenge by my neighbor to design some of the canine chars from the Balto movies (I used variations on Mark Leonard's Wolf and John Montrll's Husky, and designed two other bases myself. All are difficult to shape, though.)
That is amazing!
If I could learn to and perfect folding this model, I would pass out where I sit!
I attempted to fold it several times in last 6 months whithout any good result.
I need time, patience and good paper.
bye Sara

As Rep. John P. Sarbanes points out ("In Afghanistan, challenge and doubt," April 25), American forces in Afghanistan are bracing for a new offensive from the Taliban. Unfortunately, some others in Congress are so intent on cutting the deficit that they're targeting funding for critical troop equipment needed by those same troops.
For instance, the House Armed Services Committee voted to cut the Army's Brigade Combat Team Modernization program (BCTM) in half last year, slowing the deployment of a combat-ready wireless network that would let soldiers exchange on-the-ground intelligence via text message, download satellite maps and even send video of wounded GI's to doctors back at the base to get life-saving treatment advice.
Smart budget cuts will avoid cutting life-saving equipment for our troops like the BCTM network.

Locket, mid 18th century, England, gold with openwork set with garnets enclosing a painting on ivory, incorporating hair, set with agate, Victoria and Albert Museum.
Hair had long been important in sentimental jewellery, but during the 18th century it took on a new prominence. It could now form the centrepiece of a jewel, either arranged in complicated motifs or as plain, woven sections. Tiny fragments of hair could even be incorporated into delicate paintings, as is the case here. Hair jewels were worn to cherish the living as well as to remember the dead, and the survival of many pieces celebrating love and friendship indicates that these objets had great social importance.

A 56-year-old woman from the Bronx named Vilma Soltesz didn't have to die. If only she had been able to board a flight from Hungary to New York, where she could get medical treatment for her kidney disease and diabetes, she may not have died. But because she and her husband were turned away from three different flights, Vilma was unable to get the medical treatment she required and passed away. SO horrible.
What makes absolutely no sense to me is that Vilma -- who was considered obese at over 400 pounds, had one leg, and used a wheelchair -- was able to somehow fly from New York to Hungary in September. And although her travel agent had purchased two plane seats for her, which were both required in order for her to fly, when she and husband Janos boarded a flight home, they were told the airline could not accommodate the ill woman because of her size, according to The New York Post.
Janos says KLM Royal Dutch Airlines attributed the problem to the fact that the airline didn't have a seatbelt extender. So the couple drove five hours to Prague to take a Delta flight. Once they arrived, the airline told them its plastic wheelchair couldn't carry her weight and she couldn't ride on the sky-lift elevator, because apparently the elevator couldn't handle her weight. Ultimately, Delta said in a statement that they were "physically unable to board" her.
So, then, a week later, the couple was supposed to fly Lufthansa to New York via Frankfurt, but once again, Vilma couldn't be moved from her wheelchair to her assigned seats, and once again, they weren't able to fly. A Lufthansa spokesperson said, "The question was never the seat belt. The question was the mobility of the passenger." Wow.
And because Vilma didn't trust Hungary hospitals and doctors to treat her, she ended up dying two days later and was buried in Hungary. What an all-around, totally heartbreaking way for this to all go down ... And no wonder her husband is now taking legal action against the airlines.
In the end, I just hope that no one attempts to turn this into some kind of fearmonger-y, finger-waggy cautionary tale about obesity. To use Vilma's tragedy as an illustrated example of how out of control our obesity epidemic is. It sounds like the woman had many personal, unique health challenges and was perpetually, actively seeking health care to address her issues. We don't know how or why she ended up at 425 pounds, and it shouldn't matter. All that matters, especially now, is that the way her life ended was truly unfortunate.
Here, more details on the story from NBC ...
What's your take on this sad turn of events?
Image via http://nbcnewyork.com
obviously there was some issues that she couldnt fly. and honestly if she was in bad health she should have stayed in America. and it was her fault because there was hospitals there to treat her but she refused to go to them
No she didn't need to die but the family needs to accept some accountability. With her health so fragile she should have not traveled so far away from her primary care doctors. If she had never left in the first place and she would be alive today. The airlines couldn't accomidate her on the flights due to their concerns for the safety of ALL passengers, not just her. They have a duty to protect everyone on those planes, not just her. While it's tragic that she died, and I'm sorry her family is grieving her loss they don't have a place to sue the airlines.
You're right; she didn't have to die. She could have chosen to not refuse medical help while in Hungary. The family should not sue- instead, this should be a lesson to everyone as to what happens when you mistreat and neglect your body for years- you simply do not live long, and your quality of life is less than those who do take care of themselves. Also, if she was in that bad of shape(needing dialysis, an amputee, diabetic), and still able to travel at all, she was lucky. Most aren't able to get out much, lt alone travel to another country.
Im torn on this one. Agree with the not travelling in the first place, if you are that ill. But it sounds like the first airline did drop the ball based on 2 tickets were purchased (guessing this was not cheap) and working witha travel agent, that they would have pre-informed the airline of the condition of the passenger/requirement of the extender, and simply provided it for the next available KLM flight.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee is at odds with a museum in her hometown of Monroeville.
Lee is seeking a trademark for the words "To Kill a Mockingbird" when they are used on clothing. The Monroe County Heritage Museum is opposing the application, contending the sale of souvenirs with the words "To Kill a Mockingbird" is vital to its continued operation.
Lee's attorney, Robert Clarida, says the 87-year-old author has never received a penny from the museum's sale of T-shirts, caps and other souvenirs.
The museum's director and attorney say the museum has been 1 of Lee's biggest supporters, with an exhibit dedicated to her. They are hoping the legal dispute can be settled without damaging that relationship.
The trademark dispute was first reported by The Monroe Journal.

Been working on Lethal Lens for a long time. Started 4 and a half months ago. Took about 2 months for the animating, then a lot of time was spent waiting for the music, but it never came, so I decided to use Drumr345's great tunes.

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy my newest clay animation!

I gave this an instant 4!
I can tell that KNOX inspired you will all his Claymations...
this was very cool, the action was superb, although the jokes werent as funny.
Knox knows how to make his claymation funny. Ever watched Pancake mines...?
well, that was funny! heh!
But dont get me wrong. maybe this was supposed to be more of action than funny and if so...
U really did well! =O)
Keep them coming Man!
PS: Drumr345 you music ROCKs!!!!!!!!! Im downloading it right now!!!
Haha thanks. Yeah this wasn't meant to be a comedy, more an action movie with some comedic relief. Yep, Knox was definitely an inspiration for me to get started 2 and a half years ago.

Train Station
The train station is straight up Luis Estévez from Parque Vidal on the north side of town. The ticket office is across the park from the train station. The comparatively luxurious Tren Francés passes through the city on odd-numbered days heading for Santiago de Cuba (12 hours 45 minutes) via Camagüey (CUC$13, four hours 15 minutes).
