Ever since her ridiculous championing of man-made global warming believing, cap-and-trade and Ground Zero Mosque supporting and Sharia Law-denying New Jersey Governor Chris Christie at CPAC earlier this year, I'd lost a tremendous amount of respect for Ann Coulter. Ditto for Laura Ingraham whose snotty attitude and recent condescending remarks about Tea Partiers who disliked Congressman Allen West's vote on the debt ceiling have had the same effect.
So it wasn't a total surprise when the two got together on Fox News for the sole purpose of trashing not only Sarah Palin, but her base of supporters whom they likened to Obama Kool-Aid drinkers.
While I cannot speak to the motivation behind this "bitch-fest" as Mr. L has accurately coined it, I would like to point out the many flaws and inconsistencies in this hypocritical exchange — which was something I'd expect to see on The View, not Fox News. Then again, with a few exceptions (contributor Michelle Malkin, e.g.) Fox has been a huge disappointment of late.
For one thing, as I noted over at Revolutionary Media, Palin's enthusiastic base of supporters is not comprised of rabid cultists, but rather smart, engaged and patriotic Americans with a deep respect for Palin's consistent record of commonsense conservatism over her 20 years in public life. We recognize that her record stands up to scrutiny, and that unlike the rest of the field, she's never had to adjust her positions or policies for political expediency. We appreciate her political courage — first seen on the national stage when she boldly called out Obama repeatedly on the campaign trail and then later when she led the charge against the odious Obamacare legislation and the rest of his freedom-killing agenda in the summer of 2009.
Perhaps it's too much to expect Coulter and Ingraham to give credit where it's due, but nowhere in their discussion last night was there any mention of Palin's influence on the 2010 midterms; the time and money she spent endorsing and stumping for strong candidates like Nikki Haley; the multitude of substantive policy statements she's made via Facebook notes pertaining to everything from quantitative easing to foreign policy to domestic drilling; her multitude of speeches at various events, including the India Conclave and her unscripted interview with the Long Island Business Association.
Perhaps it slipped their minds that Palin's record of accomplishment and enactment of "sudden, relentless reform" in Alaska inspired conservative film maker Stephen K. Bannon to invest a significant amount of time and money into producing a film highlighting her illustrious political record so that people who've been brainwashed by the media hit-job on her would have the opportunity to get the facts about who Sarah Palin really is.
And maybe they are oblivious to the reality that Palin's appeal to conservative voters is strong enough to compel them to travel halfway around the country just to see her give a speech at a Tea Party rally — even in the driving rain. As I noted, there were about 20 states represented in Iowa and every individual with whom I interacted was smart, savvy, committed and knowledgeable — not simply about Sarah Palin's achievements, but also about the fact that both parties have driven this beloved country to the brink of disaster.
Which brings me to my real issue with the Ingraham-Coulter exchange: the blatant hypocrisy. Coulter displayed a stunning lack of self-awareness when she dissed Palin's supporters as nothing more than clueless cheerleaders. Hey Ann, we're not the ones shilling for a New Jersey blowhard who supports cap-and-trade legislation, believes in man-made global warming, ridicules anyone who takes issue with the Ground Zero Mosque and dismisses real concern about creeping Sharia Law as "crap." And in spite of all of these negatives against Chris Christie, you continue to promote him as a legitimate candidate. Dare I say, you verge on making yourself look like a lovesick school girl? Christie after all, has stated repeatedly that he is definitely not running.
At least Palin tells us she's seriously considering it and will announce her decision before the deadline, so there's legitimate reason for her supporters to promote her candidacy — aside from the fact that she's a fantastic candidate with a record that matches her rhetoric. Tragically, the same cannot be said of the current crop of contenders, with varying degrees of importance.
Yes, Christie takes on the unions. So do Scott Walker in Wisconsin and John Kasich in Ohio — very effectively and without the theatrics. Funny but I don't hear you ever offer praise for either one of them.
And Laura, in case you missed it, Tea Party voters have a real problem with Romneycare and no amount of deference to alleged "states rights" is going to justify it away. Haven't we spent the last 2 1/2 years railing against overrreaching government policies and demanding repeal? What makes you think Mandate Mitt is a contender? By the way, he also believes in man-made global warming, to the delight of Al Gore. Yeah, that'll fire up the base. By the way, in case you missed it nearly 1,000 showed up to see Palin in New Hampshire versus a handful for Romney. Guess they were all just a bunch of stupid hillbillies too. Oh and then there's the small matter of the FreedomWorks-sponsored protest against the former governor of Massachusetts. I suppose that also slipped your mind while you were busy trashing the former governor of Alaska.
Finally, your cattiness in ridiculing Sarah Palin's accent was especially off-putting and completely unprofessional. It smacks the kind of immaturity one would expect from teenage high school girls, not prominent lawyers and pundits who claim to care about everyday Americans from coast to coast who — by the way — speak with various accents. And just for the record, neither one of yours is particularly appealing.
So go ahead and ridicule Palin and her supporters all day long. Just don't be surprised when we stop tuning in and buying your books. If you can't at least be honest and forthright in your criticism, we'll invest our time and money elsewhere. Seems my two year-old column on Female Jealousy and Sarah Palin is more relevant today than ever.

Elena Anemogiannis (Class of 2013) performs Chere Nuit by French composer Bachelot.
The bi-weekly lunchtime tradition of student musician showcases resumed this semester on Thursday, March 17. Known as Music at Midday, informal afternoon concerts feature recitals by students majoring in music performance in Rollins Department of Music every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Music at Midday not only provides a supportive atmosphere in a familiar venue for budding young musicians but also opportunities for those in attendance to appreciate a plethora of new and exceptional music.
"Today was a wonderful example of what Music at Midday can be," commented Daniel Crozier, associate professor of music. "The students that performed were extremely talented."
A total of seven students were featured in last Thursday's Midday, exhibiting a masterful grasp of a variety of musical genres. Vocalist Chelsea Appel (Class of 2013) performed Domine Deus by Antonio Vivaldi with operatic ease. Omar Zelaya (Class of 2011), a countertenor, gave an emotional and moving performance of L'heure Exquise by Reynaldo Hahn. Jonathan DeBoer (Class of 2013) expertly performed a lesser known Sonata by Paul Hindemith on English horn. Elena Anemogiannis (Class of 2013) gave a memorable performance of Chere Nuit by French composer Bachelot. "It is my first Romantic French piece and I've never sung in French before," commented Anemogiannis, whose vocal delivery proved more than convincing.
"Music at Midday sets the musical mood of my week," said music major Gregg Frey (Class of 2012). "It's always a relaxing, enjoyable and enlightening experience."
Music at Midday continues on Tuesday, March 22 at 12:30 PM in the Tiedtke Concert Hall and continues through Tuesday, April 12. For more information on upcoming Rollins Department of Music events, please visit www.rollins.edu/music.

Rescue. Rehome. Repeat.
Our Mission
Cold Nose Warm Heart Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters. Through our network of committed volunteers and foster homes we are able to rescue dogs, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well matched, thoroughly screened forever homes. We also provide our adopters and the community with information on responsible pet ownership, including spay-neuter, training and good nutrition.
The Foster Home Advantage
Since we are a network of foster homes, all of our dogs enjoy the love and personal attention which cannot be duplicated in a kennel setting. The dogs live as members of our volunteers' families, enjoying human and usually dog or cat contact and socialization every day. When a potential adopter chooses his new best friend, the foster home can give him insights about the dog that will help him make the right choice. If this truly is the dog for him, the information will help start them off on the right foot (paw?) in their new lives together. Cold Nose adopters enjoy support through every step of the process - from choosing a dog to post adoption check-ins to make sure everyone is happy!
Meet the Cold Nose CrewCo-founders Alissa Schmid and Vicki Francis have a combined 15 years of experience in rescue. Alissa and Vicki hold full time jobs in the corporate world and bring the same integrity and professionalism to Cold Nose Warm Heart. The dogs' health and welfare is their top priority. They take pride in matching each dog with the right forever home. Along with a group of top notch volunteer team members, the Cold Nose Crew will make your adoption experience smooth and enjoyable.

A year after industry groups such as the Aerospace Industries Association started warning about the threatened U.S. government budget reductions known as "sequestration," the White House has offered specifics about what the impact would be for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies.
United States public debt
In mid-December the U.S. Congress authorized $662 billion in defense spending for fiscal 2012, trimming $27 billion from President Obama's request in probably the last budget before deeper, more painful, cuts are required by the Budget Control Act passed in August.
The trend of robust U.S. military aircraft sales offsetting a lagging civil aircraft market is changing.
Here we go again. Three years after the bottom dropped out of the economy, and just months after a long, slow and painful climb toward recovery seemed to be producing results, the flooring is starting to feel awfully flimsy again.
General Aviation Manufacturers Association president Pete Bunce decried President Obama's "negative rhetoric" about the GA industry during a rally last month in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Defense spending cuts of some $350 billion over the next decade contained in the new debt-limit legislation passed by the U.S. Congress correspond with the numbers expected from an earlier goal advanced by President Obama. But the Pentagon leadership described the potential of $600 billion more in automatic spending cuts as disastrous.
A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee illustrates the FAA's challenge in defining NextGen, which would transform 20th Century communications, navigation and surveillance into the advanced technology environment of 2025 and beyond.
• One of the annual Washington rituals calls for the President to send Congress an administration budget proposal for the next fiscal year. President Bush followed through with a FY2007 plan asking for $27.7 trillion. The proposed budget would increase defense spending by 7 percent and cut some $15 billion from 141 programs in nine of 15 Cabinet agencies.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in late January announced that the federal deficit is expected to climb to $477 billion this year, up from $375 billion last year. It also estimated that, in the next 10 years, the government will accumulate nearly $2.4 trillion in additional debt.
• In view of the enormous funds allocated for hurricane relief ($62 billion to date with more to come) and a mounting budget deficit, President Bush and legislators in both houses of Congress have been pushing programs that would reduce federal spending.

There is a Plan
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Do you ever feel you are beating your head against a brick wall? If you hit the wall long enough and hard enough, maybe it will fall before you can't hit it any more. When that happens it is time to look at your plan and compare it to God's plan for you. It's really a very smart idea to look at God's plan before your implement your own; so much pain can be eliminated (Jeremiah 29:11). For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Access "Catching up with Master Data Management products"
This article is part of the November 2010, Vol. 4 issue of Master data services: A work in progress
Have you ever been in that conference room during that meeting—when different managers are battling it out over widely-divergent sets of numbers that all allegedly came from the same place? In the data-saturated world of businesses, that situation is becoming all too common. The variations don't just come from different interpretations of the same data; it is different people coming up with entirely different sets of data for what should be the exact same business function. Not only is this frustrating, it's also dangerous. The focus on business intelligence (BI) has many companies scrambling to get their management dashboards in place. Companies want to see data in intuitive, simplified forms. However, until fairly recently, there wasn't a big focus on the quality of the data in those systems. The old saying of "Garbage in, garbage out" is more applicable than ever as businesses attempt to eke out every possible advantage by using the data at their disposal. In our thirst for data, however, we may have generated a bit too much of it. Master Data Services (... Access >>>

Why I Love Wednesdays is a weekly meme created and hosted by Alexis of Reflections of a Bookaholic. Each week she posts a Why I Love Topic that she answers. If you would like to participate head on over to her site for the topic and the image.
Topic: Book Challenge
The 100 Books in a year challenge that I've got going for myself through goodreads and participating in at Book Chick City are my favorite challenges. Simply because they are the hardest. I was doing great in the beginning of the year. But when I started getting sick more often, my book reading waned badly. Now I'm behind and trying to catch up so we'll see if I can get it done. I won't be too disappointed if I don't though because there were extenuating circumstances that I really had no control over. I also take comfort in knowing I actually have read three more books than what my goodreads widget says. For some reason it is not recording my re-reads of the Harry Potter books. So I just have to remember to add three more books onto that total.
Filed in: Meme, Why I Love Wednesdays Tags: Meme, Top Ten Tuesday, Why I Love Wednesdays
8 Responses to "Why I Love Wednesdays: Free Topic"
yeah, it doesn't look like I'm gonna reach my 100 books read goal either. I don't like to count the books and articles I have to read for school, even thought they eat up a lot of my reading time.

This looks like a fun meme. I definitely set my reading goal higher than I should have, although I think I will come close. Reading goals are fun, but I think that you are wise not to get too worked up about it. I had the same problem with some re-reads not registering.
The Readingista recently posted..Feature and Follow: Turning Movies Into Books
Have you tried changing the date on the book. When you are on Goodreads, edit your review (even if you don't have one) and change the date to this year. I sometimes have to go to the widget on the home page and click view books as well. I'm not sure if that is helpful or if you've tried that.
Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholic recently posted..Review: Lucky Bunny
I thought about that. But I didn't want to lose the original date either. There should be a way to register re-reads better on goodreads.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are a population of non-hematopoietic adult stem cells that originate from immature embryonic connective tissue (ie. the umbilical cord) or within the stroma of bone marrow. They are pluripotent cells that are capable of differentiating into many cell types such as endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, bone, and fat cells as well as connective tissue. These cells are easily maintained and expanded in culture while still maintaining their pluripotent nature.
These qualities make MSCs a prime candidate for tissue engineering and regenerative therapies. Dr. Hammel and his research group are taking a regenerative and bioengineering approach in an attempt to create a novel model for prosthetic heart valves. By combining various cell types, culture conditions, scaffold material, and protocols, they hope to create a heart valve that will harbor the needs of the heart in a growing child. To achieve their goal of creating a MSC matrix that can replace a valve while still maintaining anti-coagulation, viability, pliability, repair, and somatic growth capabilities they will collaborate with Drs. Linxia Gu and Kevin Cole, engineers in the Mechanical and Material Engineering Department at UNL
| Dr. Hai Li Lang
Dr. Hai Li Lang, a research physician working in Dr. Hammel's laboratory, is using her knowledge and expertise within the lab to further this project. Dr. Lang will be testing the various cell types to determine which environments are best suited to grow, form, and generate functional tissue valves. To evaluate the matrix capabilities they will utilize histological techniques, tensile and elasticity testing, and cardiac simulation testing within a bioreactor, a flow apparatus.

Boston • A Massachusetts chemist accused of faking drug test results and forging paperwork at a state police lab has pleaded not guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and falsely pretending to hold a degree.
The judge set bail at $10,000 for Annie Dookhan after her arrest Friday. She was expected to post bail. She has been ordered to turn over her passport and she will be monitored by GPS.

Dookhan's alleged mishandling of drug samples prompted the shutdown of the Hinton State Laboratory Institute in Boston and resulted in the resignation of three officials.
State police say Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab. Defense lawyers and prosecutors are scrambling to figure out how to deal with the fallout.

Also, rent was a bit high in my opinion, and made financial management difficult due to the economy's current complications.

Survival Sins0 Reviews
Schuldig prefers the girl. But he isn't the boss, and Crawford has other hopes. So, what to do with Ran? Schuldig/Ran Please review!
Genre: Angstyness
Pairing: Schuldig, Ran - Crawford/Ran
Comments: Allusions to serious themes, including rape, incest, and other general nastyness. Nothing explicit, not even sex. :)
Status: One-shot + cute thing at end. I may revise it at some point
The boy is limply exotic in his arms. Schuldig runs a hand down Ran's chest, then up his side to his face, a passing study in beauty. Perfect, some would say, but it doesn't hold his interest. His hand threads into coarse, thick locks. Schuldig had been apathetic about the murder of the bland father, but he quite enjoyed the explosions and fire. He remembers them, their fierceness makes him covet the boy's hair. He drops Ran to the bed and lays upon him, watching the red mingle with his pale green. He'd dyed it to impress Nagi, the newest member, a teenage whim to assert individuality. It was refreshing not to be the youngest; Nagi's hesitance gives him confidence. A lazy moment is spent twirling the hairs together before his eyes slide shut and he dives into Ran.
The boy has a beautiful mind to match the body. Bright in some areas, dark and shadowed in others, Schuldig appreciates its structure. The things that need to be hid are near the back, already halfway buried by this boy, Ran's own subconscious doing damage control. There are dangerous thoughts in there, terrible memories that he would be better without anyway. Ran had loved his father very much, and it would hurt him to find him dead. The father had always been troubling to Ran, always keeping him uncertain of where the boy stood, simultaneously scorning and supporting all the boy's attempts to win his pride. Schuldig saw that Ran had loved his father very much.
A sound from outside. Schuldig doesn't remove himself right away, lingering, and instead reached out with his consciousness, assessing the situation. The visitor seems to be Crawford, and Schuldig pushes Ran's thoughts from his mind, sitting up to focus on the man. Ran shifts, pressing to Schuldig as he moved away, an unconscious action to which Schuldig pays no attention. Crawford falters a moment, interesting, and Schuldig's eyes become trained on him as the man glides into the room and stopping only a few paces shy of the bed.
"So?" and Schuldig notices how intently the man addressing him is looking at his lap. At the boy through him.
"It's a waste." Schuldig sneers, prettily, he knows, but Crawford doesn't look "If he wakes up and figures out what happened, he'll berserk. Too emotional. A suicide case, at best." He throws back his hair, flinging open his arms, taking up as much of the room as he can, overshadowing the bed's other occupant. "I'll wake the girl, and this one will be the offering." He stood from the bed, shoving the boy from his lap, and started towards the door. "She's strong, always stronger than this one, and she'll make sure your whiteys will-"
Crawford had grabbed his arm, but his gaze has never left the redhead. Schuldig had taken off his shirt earlier, skin made it easier to reach the minds, and Crawford isn't wearing gloves. Schuldig had never felt Crawford's skin. A chance, and he stares in shock at the man, slowly creeping into his mind. It's a forbidden place, and he's forever been curious, and he is frightened. Schuldig doesn't dare go very deep, simply enmeshing with the foremost thoughts. Crawford is thinking of Ran.
The realization strikes him hard, and he abruptly twitches away from Crawford's touch. It hasn't taken a second, and Crawford's stare never strayed. Ran starts to slide from the bed, and the man moves forward, pulling him back on the bed, into his lap. It isn't sexual or affectionate in any way, but Schuldig now knows better, and his eyes are wide. Crawford glances up from the bundle in his arms, and he finally looks at Schuldig and in that instant, there are no lies. Then Schuldig ducks his head. Crawford takes it as submission, a dropping of the subject, and speaks. "No. The girl, she's too young. Barely older than Nagi. She isn't worth that time. Chain her mind, and give her to Esset." It is a statement, but it's also a taunt, patronizing. Schuldig is aware that during certain parts of the year, he's the same age as the sister. Ran is only two years older himself, he knows, eighteen to his sixteen. Schuldig had always hated being called childish. Crawford said that proved he was a child. "This one, this man, he will lead Weiss, and lead to our freedom. You can make him capable."
The elder man sees Schuldig's silence as acquiescence. He shifts, passing a hand across Ran's abdomen, and since Schuldig knows, he presses his lips onto Ran's temple, his chin, his mouth, his hand drifting lower, groping and caressing. Ran is compliant, accepting curling in the lap, and vaguely moans under the attack. Ran can't fight back, Schuldig can't help but feel sensitized, and while he's always had a certain fondness for rape, this disgusts him. Schuldig schools the hate from his eyes, "I can do it." He says, looking where Crawford's face would be. "But, it will take awhile" Crawford pulls back, decadently half-dazed. Schuldig imagines the man flashing an indulgent smile as he leaves, but when their eyes meet, Schuldig sees nothing.
Crawford sedately shifts Ran away, "Just don't hurt him. He is the key to escaping Esset." Schuldig's head is back down, listening to the soft swush of the door across the carpet, and Crawford's heels as he treads back down the hall.
Now, Schuldig blanks out, deadening himself as he looks back at the boy, his task. Crawford called Ran a man, but Schuldig knows Ran better than anyone alive. Ran's a boy, happy, alive, and loving. Weak, worse than when they had found Nagi all alone and crumpled. Nagi has potential, Schuldig thinks, but this boy loves long, loves easily, loves with all of his life. Loves his father who scorns him, his mother who ignores him, his sister who outshines him in every way.
But, Schuldig thinks, love is trust and trust makes you vulnerable, and vulnerability influences beyond all compare. Crawford, despite what he saw, Schuldig believes to be invulnerable, thus stubborn as all high hell. He wants Ran, and so Schuldig will deliver Ran. He has no choice, and for the moment, Ran belongs to him, and that presents limitless opportunities.
Ran loves without end, effortlessly and undoubtedly. Schuldig can change that.
A smile creeps onto his face, but the eyes remain flat as he stalks back to the bed, resettling himself over the boy. Ran is still sensitized; Schuldig feels a renewed wave of revulsion as Ran arches toward him. Schuldig submerges into the mind quickly to quell any other lingering runoff, and the boy stills under his touch. He's pleased with reaction, his new doll, and goes to shut off those endorphins completely. Pleasure, he decides, would not be needed in his new toy.
The love is there still, however, and this frankly, annoys Schuldig. Love is weakness, but Ran doesn't really have much to fill the huge space that love takes up. There isn't much anger, hate, despair, greed; all the usual suspects that Schuldig coaxes up to utterly consume his victim. But Ran doesn't have much to work with, and really, he deserves an extra-special punishment for catching the eye of Bradley Crawford who never gives Schuldig a second glance.
Schuldig screens himself out, searching, and a caress alerts him to the shaded patch of subconscious he'd admired earlier, and he takes a moment, short, to admire it again. The unintentional is very hard to undo, but Schuldig is a master, and Ran is past gone. The entire mind is flooded with jealousy and anger, but that is a brief flash of release for Schuldig, because in the next instant, there is so much desolation and anguish it comes close to breaking him. Ran it seems is a master at denial, and he knew, as children understand everything, exactly what was happening with his father's vacillating warmth and coldness, his mother's threatening looks of disgust, his sister's gradual awareness and her own subsequent repression.
Schuldig feels rubbed raw by this sudden offensive from a doctile mind, and isn't ready when the pain comes. Memories of harsh words, torture, and betrayal in the worst way. Ran can't fight back, Schuldig can't help but feel sensitized, and while he's always had a certain fondness for rape, this disgusts him. Again the hate comes, but at a father he's never had, could never, ever love.
Ran loves so naturally, genuinely, and Schuldig hates him too for that, but really, it's all he had, no other choice but to love. Love is vulnerability, a powerful weapon. Schuldig decides it is a proper punishment. First Crawford, then for the pain, the boy had so much coming to him.
He's worn out, but Ran's subconscious is concentrating on repairing its barriers. Quick work pulls out the memories just enough, leaving more of the beautiful, strong sister who is secretly sickened by Ran, the mother who made him feel less than worthless. As father retreats back behind the wall and Schuldig smiles in his head. Ran would love as he would, knowing that no one would ever love him back, and to expect that invited only pain. His sister Aya, at least, would love him for his blood, no matter how much he'd shamed himself.
Schuldig pulls out, and chuckles at the thought of who else would love his blood.
He breathes shakily, and he must've bitten his tongue at some point, as his own blood drips to a pale white chest, a smear where his head had been resting on the collarbone. Schuldig is tired, unsteady, and this amuses him, splaying his hand on the chest to wipe the red around, trailing it up the face to blend into the hair. He spits into the other hand, looking into the mirror as he wipes it into his own hair, red mingling with the pale green, making him beam hazily at his reflection. He lifts his other hand from the head it cupped to mix some more, but a groan from the bed makes him look down to the tormented face tarnish with blood. It is so much more appealing than the one he remembered from Crawford's imaginings.
Ran can't fight back, Schuldig can't help feel sensitized. He's always had a certain fondness for rape.
Ran awoke to pain the next morning. His body ached all over, and there was blood in his fingernails when he raked his hand through his hair. He was in a hospital, but he couldn't remember how he'd gotten there. He was thankful when the memories came as if he'd summoned them.
Father, the broadcast. The explosion, with his parents inside. Aya. The man in the car.
He ignored his body's severe disapproval as he jolted from the bed and into the hospital halls. It was a short, furious sprint searching rooms until he found her, five doors down. She lay there unmoving, apparently unaware of his presence, and he collapsed at the food of her bed onto his knees.
The doctors had answered his half thought questions, painting an austere future for his sister. She'd been so strong, so admirable...
No, she still is strong, beautiful, wonderful. She loves him even though he has done nothing for her, however hard he tries and fails. She loves him though she shouldn't, but here he is sitting on a bench alive, while she is near death.
It isn't right, his mind screams. It should be Ran who is dying, Aya who is living. Ran is a waste, and it isn't right. You live while she should, so live for her. Ran feels surer about this than anything else, ever. Anything that happens is his punishment for his horrible sin of surviving.
Schuldig awakes sated and content, his favorite way. His body aches, and there is blood encrusted in his hair, but the memories of yesterday have faded, and he only calls back those he wishes. He sets down at the breakfast table taking acute pleasure in the way little Nagi recoils at his appearance.
Crawford walks in late, his suit less than immaculate, and as Schuldig stands to gloat, he slugs the younger man across the jaw.
Schuldig faintly licks at the blood as he pulls himself off the floor. Crawford is glaring straight at him, attention and displeasure plainly focused.
Schuldig smirks, tilts his head to preen. "Mission Accomplished."
Little thing I needed to write for this to be complete (though if people ask, I may just go ahead with the sex scene. My roommate urged me to end the scene with the rape line, and I like it, but I can do more before, if it's the will of the viewers at home). I'm not sure what the term 'omake' is, I have a hard enough time with English, thank you very much, so tell me if this is it:
Five more minutes pass. Rinse, the water scalding like he prefers, but it makes his breathing even harder than it was before. Schuldig reaches for the conditioner.
In the past few weeks, he hasn't been able to get Ran out of his head. He dreams of that hair, the pale skin marked by developing bruises and blood. Red, red blood, red like fires and explosions and Ran's hair.
Schuldig is fixated on that red, and his hands become tense, harsh in their movements. It's mildly painful, but Schuldig needs to endure. He needs to get this out of his system.
Finally, he's satisfied, content, and he takes deep breaths as the water pours over him. He steps out of the shower to glance in the mirror.
In another part of the house, Bradley Crawford stares intently into space, before his gaze focuses. A small smile emerges, and he soon dissolves into quiet sniggers which have no hope of being heard over the grief-stricken shriek of 'Orange!' that echoes throughout the house.
"Serves him right."
**At this point, after you've read it, I'd like to say that this is my first finished WK fic. Please please comment!

Nothing to say but...This Contest isn't a cake walk.
Deadly Royale: K.O (KnockOut)
A girl with dark hair and blue eyes stood facing a girl who she called a friend. She still calls her a friend. But not at this moment due to the fact she was about to either A. kill her or B. Defeat her in a battle. "Please lets stop this...I don't want to fight you." The girls' friend lowered her head and sighed. She looked back at her sadly smiled. "I can't say the same thing Layla. I have to win this. I am tired of hearing everyone talk about humans in such a way..." Layla looked around and glared at all the demons that were booing her friends.
"Don't mind them...they are idiots and they don't know any better." Layla's friend had to laugh. Layla knew how to loosen the tension in a room. "Well I still want a fight to the death or not I want a fight." Layla shrugs. "I tried." She summoned her scythe and grinned a little.
"Well let's get this party started." Layla and her friend went at it.
Demons and other things in the crowed were cheering for Layla to win. "Do you think Layla will win?" Asked a spiky haired guy with eerie grey eyes. "Yeah no doubt she will win....but I want Meryl to win also." The spiky hair guy sighs a little. "Me too."
Layla and Meryl broke from each other and was rather out of breath. Meryl let a small smile play on her lips. "Layla I think we should end this. I think your evil brother is getting pretty ticked off right about now." Layla looked over at her brother who was glaring at her with hateful red eyes. She smile sweetly and innocently flipped him off. Meryl laughed. "Okay now he is pissed." Layla laughed.
"Yeah...it is so easy to make him made...But I think you are right...its time we end this with one final blow." Meryl nodded and held her sword tightly knowing that Layla was no weakling. "Alright...go!" Layla and Meryl's blades clashed one final time causing a cloud of energy to form.
The suspense was killing everyone since they could not see who won the match. Layla's friends were just as curious as everyone else was. And when the cloud subsides it will reveal the loser and the winner of the Deadly Royale
Somewhere in the underworld...
A very tall man stood infront of a gate not very pleased with what he found. "What has my son gotten himself into now?" He sighs and gets on one knee. "Damion, can you hear me?" The guy started to squirm. He opened one eye and looked at the person before him. "Father..." Damion's father smiled a little. "What happened here?" Damion looked around and he became all panicked.
"Where is she?" His father looked puzzled. "Where is who?" Damion sat up more. "Where is Layla...Lucas is planning something and it involves her and Meryl...we have to find them." His father narrowed his eyes. "They are both at the Royale." Damion stood up frowning himself. "Then let's go...Let's go help them." His father nods and stands up towering his son. "I'm going to kill Lucas." Damion smiled lightly.
Lucas stood in the back smiling ever so evilly. Lucas was the creator of the Deadly Royale and he was proud of what he has done. He has taken the soul of that annoying human girl. He grinned at the gasping crowd, mainly Layla's friends.
The cloud had finally subsided and Layla was standing there looking at her now dead friend. 'How did this happen?' she looked up and glanced at Lucas who was merely smiling at her. She glared at him.
"Lucas!" He turned to her in his all black suit. "I thank you for your assistance." He vanished and Layla dropped her scythe on the ground and went over to her so did a few others that was watching in the crowd.
Hours later...
Layla and three others stood in her room silently. One looked up and at her. "What now? The competition is over. What are you going to do now princess?" she looked at them and sighed. "One don't call me princess ever again Ace and Two were going to earth for awhile. I want to get away from here." She said and didn't notice the portal in the middle of her floor until two people stepped out of it.
Her father Hades and her brother Damion. Damion sadly smiled at her, Feeling her pain. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there sooner." Layla's blue eyes looked to the side. "It's okay. I know you would have if you could have. Don't worry about it I'll be fine." She put on a fake smile and looked at her dad. He was watching her closing seeing if she was really okay. Layla hated faking the truth but what could she do. She just lost one of her closes friends to that monster she calls a brother.
"Don't worry we are looking for Lucas. But knowing him he is far from here at the moment scheming something else. Sadly I am ashamed to call him my son." He turned and was about to leave when he looked back at her with a little smile. "Layla if you are going back to earth. Don't forget to write this time." She smiled at him, and he could see that it was a true smile. "I won't this time." She uncrossed her arms and looked at Ace and the others.
"So when do we leave?" Ace shrugged and looked at the other two. "Shadow...Scarlet any suggestions?" Scarlet's red eyes sparkled a little. "Nothing at this moment...but I am hungry right now." Shadow sighed at his partner. "You are worst then Layla when she wakes up craving chocolate." They all laughed including her father, he knew how much Layla loves chocolate.
"Sorry to ruin this but I and Damion must be going...we have to look for the idiot." Damion nods and looks at Layla. "Stay safe sis." She waves him off. "Aren't I always? But you should stay away from Lucas...he has captured you once in order for you deceive me...he'll do it again. Be careful Dai." They exchanged sibling stares and leaves along with there father. Layla lowers her head and stares at the ground. "Layla?" she heard Ace calling her. But she really didn't want to answer. "We should leave..." She looked at them faking her happiness once again.
"Alright..." Shadow turned around and opened a portal to earth. "If you would step this way I will escort you to earth." Layla and the others walked into the portal and Shadow had to add in a little humor. "Please keep all hands, arms, tails, and brains inside the portal at all times...thank you for traveling with Shadow Airlines." They all disappeared into the portal laughing.
Wolfie: Interesting ending...kind of lame but I had to considering I am writing this at 2 in the morning. I know I am insane or sane. Who knows with me? Anyways the Z-gang comes in on the next chap and more on the Deadly Royale is revealed. I hope you like this story. R/R with No flames, if you don't like do not read and or reply. If you do like...I encourage you to read the story. Thank you.

Fantasmic! reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Fantasmic!, a live show in Sunset Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Written by Robert Niles
The Studios' nighttime spectacular plays in a massive open-air theater located behind Sunset Boulevard. Copied from the original version at California's Disneyland, Fantasmic! celebrates Mickey Mouse's imagination through a combination of live action performances, film clips projected onto water-mist screens, water stunts, lasers and pyrotechnics. You'll see scenes from several popular Disney films, leading up to a climatic battle between Mickey and the evil Maleficent. It all ends well, of course, with appearances by a boatload of Disney characters at the end. (We mean that literally, of course.)
Readers' rating:
Great combination of lighting and special effects. Fantasmic is a must see show. Not only are the special effects amazing, but the show also tells a story. You'll see many of your favorite Disney characters in the show. Adults and kids alike will definitely enjoy this show. Perfect way to end the day at Hollywood Studios. 9/10 - Joe Keenen
Absolutely an awesome show that everybody must see and experience... - Eric Stankovitz
This could be so much more then it is now but still a fair show and a reason to stay. - O T
Desperately needs an upgrade to make it on par with World of Color and the upgraded, vastly superior version of this show at Disneyland. It relies too heavily on the mist screens; at the show's worst point, we're staring at a boring, pointless procession of Disney characters in bubbles on the mist screens for several minutes. - Chris C.
Disneyland's Fantasmic was better, this one lacks of the magic of the acting, is too much use of the water screens (which are still awesome if you ask me) - Jose Carlos Mahbub
Lame when compared to the Disneyland version. It relies more on the fountains and less on live action, which made it seem like a scaled-down and less beautiful version of WoC at DCA. The Peter Pan scene is missing, as is the Pink Elephants on Parade scene. On the bright side, it DOES have Jafar turning into a cobra, which was cool, but that doesn't make up for the things I just listed. - E G
Needs lots of help. I love the show, but it is in BAD shape. - Sean Huckel
Fabulous night show. Great effects & a nice story. It just awes us every time we see it. We try to make three shows per vacation. A Disney spectacular. Fantasmic & the new Universal Cinematic are our favorite night presentations. - Rob Pastor

WickedMasterMind's "Martian Masquerade" custom Micro Munny series!
NEW POST: The sculpting work of WickedMasterMind continues to impress me. Take, for example, the above pictured "Martian Masquerade" blind box custom series he's created: each one has a pristinely crafted masquerade mask and matching tuxedo. Now, you might be thinking that it these elements aren't that impressive, but this is done on Micro Munnys! Yes, the tiny wee little platform! Very detailed work for such a tiny platform and quite impressive, I must say. I do wish, though, that his paint work wasn't as color blocked, but that's a personal call… Regardless, these fantastic pieces will be available today (April 8th, 2013) by 1PM Pacific time in his online shop for only $30 each! http://dlvr.it/3C5BBS

The Donkeys will be playing a free show in South Park at the Whistle Stop tonight.
Nothing beats a long weekend amongst family and friends, and we hope that everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Tonight we can also give thanks for the incredible music scene in our region, with a free show at the Whistle Stop featuring the Donkeys, who blew the lid off the Office for SoundDiego LIVE back on Halloween. If you didn't get enough of the mellow vibes, tonight will be a great show to ease back into the weekend. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, grab your passport and head south of the border for a killer lineup at Black Box with the Silent Comedy headlining. It's a super cheap show and the kids in Tijuana certainly know how to put together a great night of music transcending all borders. At the Casbah, Gone Baby Gone get their first weekend headlining slot, Polar Bear Club perform and all ages show at the Irenic, and the Griffin hosts American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox, who will likely perform her incredible rendition of "Me & Bobby McGee." All things considered, tonight would just be a silly night to stay home.

BSkyB recognised as Media Sector Leader by Forest Footprint Disclosure
The fourth annual Forest Footprint Disclosure (FFD) Report today revealed that BSkyB has for the first time been recognised for its leadership role in the Media sector in addressing its 'forest footprint'.
Fiona Ball, Head of Environment & Engagement at Sky said, 'We're delighted to be rated the leading company in the Forest Footprint Disclosure (FFD) Project for the media sector this year. Taking part in the FFD Project keeps on challenging us in our work with our suppliers so that we improve the way we source the products we use in our business day to day that come from the rainforest. It's also a great fit with Sky Rainforest Rescue, our partnership with WWF, working in Acre, north west Brazil to give local people in the Amazon ways of making a fair living from the forest, without cutting down the trees.'
James Hulse, Director, FFD said, 'Participation in the Media sector continues to be restricted to a small number of opinion formers. BSkyB are to be congratulated for their leadership position'.Each year FFD asks the world's largest companies to disclose their impact on forests based on their use of five commodities: soy, palm oil, timber and pulp, cattle products, and biofuels. Companies are categorised into twelve sectors and leaders are identified.
The 2012 FFD sector leaders share a common commitment to innovation and ensuring security of supply for their future. Leadership consists of moving beyond the immediate supply chain to engagement upstream and being prepared to spend time and money on finding solutions to problems wherever they are found in the world.
100 companies have voluntarily disclosed their forest footprint, an increase of almost 15% compared to last year; however, the gap between the leaders of the forest risk commodity sectors and their peers is ever growing.
For a copy of the report please visit www.forestdisclosure.com
About FFDForest Footprint Disclosure (FFD) is a special project of the Global Canopy Programme, (GCP) initiated in 2008. FFD engages with private sector companies to ask them to disclose their current understanding of their 'forest footprint' based on exposure to five key commodities – soy, palm oil, timber, cattle products and biofuels – in their operations and/or supply chains. All of these commodities have the potential to be sourced from recently deforested land. FFD goes beyond simple disclosure and acts as a catalyst for investors to really engage with the companies in their portfolios on this issue. In 2012, the Forest Footprint Disclosure Request was sent to 450 global companies.
FFD is currently backed by more than 180 endorsing investors managing in excess of $12.8 trillion.
On 12th June, 2012 the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and GCP announced an alliance that will see GCP's FFD merge with CDP over two years. This strategic merger by CDP and GCP will bring corporate disclosure on carbon and the climate, water and forests under one roof, resulting in the world's largest and most comprehensive natural capital disclosure system, and will provide companies and investors with a single, integrated source of information for these interrelated issues.For more information please contact: Clara Eldridge, Corporate Communications email@example.com +44 2070326871 About BSkyBSky is a valued part of everyday life in over 10 million homes.

Find out about Sky Studios, Europe's most sustainable broadcast facility
LANGUAGE TRANSCRIPTIONNarrator: From the outset, Sky Studios was designed to be the most sustainable broadcast facility in Europe. Our vision was complete with the installation of our first ever onsite wind turbine. Committed to reducing our impact on the environment, the Sky Studios building already incorporates a number of energy efficiency practices, like recycling rainwater, ventilating naturally to avoid the use of air conditioning, using motion sensors to activate lighting, and turning downward energy into upward energy to power the lifts. But, for the power that can't be reduced by efficiency measures, Sky Studios produces its own onsite renewable energy by burning old wooden pallets to provide heating and cooling for its broadcast operations. And now, it has an eye-catching wind turbine, built to produce 133 megawatt hours of clean energy per annum. That's enough power to supply the whole of Sky Studios' lighting for the entire year. But, just as importantly, the amount of carbon emissions saved annually by the wind turbine will be equivalent to a petrol-powered car travelling 370,000 miles – that's like taking a road-trip around the world 15 times a year. Taking just one year to manufacture, build and lift into place, the wind turbine is built to withstand all weather conditions – from frost to lightning storms – and has been designed to function even at the lowest wind-speeds. The triangular structure spirals up to three rotary blades, with a total diameter spanning 21 metres. And at 71 metres in height, the wind turbine proudly resides over the West London skyline. With the new landmark now in place, it represents just how serious we are about tackling climate change, and the steps we're taking to minimise our impact on the environment.

Can anyone tell me what Kom and Din are talking about towards the end of episode 11?? And what kind of notes did Lin jot down on her notebook?? And what was the -10 and -20 points for?? I'm guessing it's something to do with Din since he seemed upset after seeing it?
towards the end: Kom immediately tries to justify Alin's actions and reasoning. Din was extremely hurt that she notated his mom's career and family status were given negative points. Din also confesses that he thinks of Alin more than friends and he needs to keep his distance/cut off so that it doesn't cause any more hurt to him.
he was happy to be written in her book because his first thoughts were "Oh, I'm thought of as a potential suitor?"
the negatives were about his family status and his parents' status. she made a remark that his mom is a servant. personally, i thought Alin was really wrong on this part. she pretty much contradicted herself when she said his status, family and lifestyle doesn't bother her but in plain terms she wrote that he's not good enough. when she wrote this, she was writing expectations of her ideal boyfriend based on her upbringing. as Kom has said before, "her aunts filled her mind with nonsense things that are suppose to be important". Alin was brainwashed while she was a little girl and has never had a true friend and been in love. she's only had crushes.
we all know that the outside shouldn't count - it's the inside but Alin's ranking was all based on silly ideas. i'm not surprised they had her do something like this because in the end they will have to be making up to one another with the mistakes they made. (Alin's ranking and Din keeping Lek's situation to himself from the beginning.)
just a little vent - Kom, Taa and Din all know the truth about Lek and his family and how everyone is intertwined but the one that will be hurt the most is Alin.

THE VILLAGES, Fla. -- Meet Paul Ryan's mom.
Betty Ryan Douglas, 78, is the newest face of the Medicare wars that have abruptly taken center stage in the 2012 contest, joining her son here Saturday in the town square of a sprawling retirement community as Ryan assured seniors that he and Mitt Romney won't take away their Medicare and Social Security.
"Like a lot of Americans, when I think about Medicare, it's not just a program," Ryan told the mostly-elderly crowd at The Villages, a central Florida retirement community that is billed as the world's largest. "It's what my mom relies on. It's what my grandma had."
(PHOTOS: Paul Ryan and his mom)
Douglas -- who spends her winters in nearby Lauderdale-By-The-Sea -- plays tennis and works out every day, Ryan said, and she appeared spry as the two walked hand-and-hand toward the stage.
The congressman pointed to his mother as an example of how the debate over Medicare is both political and personal in a state with the highest percentage of elderly voters in the country. To voters here today, Betty was a "Medicare senior in Florida," one of the nation's many "snowbirds" that flees colder climes during the winter months for the warmth of places like Florida.
"Medicare was there for our family, for my grandma, when we needed it then, and Medicare is there for my mom while she needs that now, and we need to keep that guaranteed," the 42-year-old House Budget Committee chairman said, describing the experience of being one of the primary caregivers for his grandmother, who suffered from advanced Alzheimer's.
(Also on POLITICO: Ryan opens up about life on the trail)
As the vice presidential nominee debuted in Florida, Ryan and his mom -- who wore a yellow jacket and white pants -- were greeted by several thousand enthusiastic retirees, some who were camped out here for hours to see the mother-son team. Law enforcement officials estimated 3,000 people crowded into the town square, and more spilled onto streets lined with golf carts, the transportation method of choice for most of the community's residents.
The Wisconsin lawmaker revved up the crowd and was met with applause, but the cheers for his message on energy and small businesses were more enthusiastic than for his remarks on health care.
The Villages is a familiar stop for presidential candidates, and Republicans in particular. The developer of the community and his family have personally donated more than $1.5 million to Republican candidates and super PACs this election cycle.
Florida is a must-win state for the GOP presidential ticket and the race has grown more heated here since Ryan was named as the vice presidential contender last weekend. Debate over his controversial budget plan -- which would turn Medicare into a voucher program for seniors after the year 2023 -- has since become pivotal, and Republicans are working overtime to defend their proposals.
Romney and Ryan have attacked President Barack Obama for cuts to the Medicare trust fund to pay for his health care reform, and Ryan hewed to that line today.
Ryan accused the president of "raiding" Medicare to pay for the Affordable Care Act, and going back on a promise that so many seniors are counting on. The Obama campaign argues that Ryan and Romney aren't telling the whole story when it comes to their Medicare reform plans, omitting crucial details that would be unpopular with seniors.
"What's worse -- is the president's campaign calls this an achievement," Ryan said. "Do you think raiding Medicare to pay for Obamacare is an achievement? Do you think that empowering a board of bureaucrats to cut Medicare is anachievement? Neither do I."
Ryan and Romney, Ryan said , will make sure that Medicare is not "used as a piggybank for Obamacare," and it should remain "the promise that it made to our current seniors, period, end of story."
"Here is what Mitt Romney and I will do. We d end the raid of Medicare, we will restore the promise of this program, and we will make sure that this board of bureaucrats will not mess with my mom's health care or your mom's health care," Ryan said.
Before the crowd of seniors, Ryan also used his mother's life story to launch a counter-punch on Obama's "you didn't build that" line, prompting the most enthusiastic response from the audience here.
"When my dad died, my mom went back to school, she went back to college, got a new skill or a new trade and she started a small business...We were taking care of my grandma at the time. She was going to school, and then she started this small business," Ryan said. "And mom? Mom? I am proud of you for going out and getting another degree. I am proud of you for the small business that you created and mom, you did build that. That is what America is all about. I am so proud of her for that. I am so proud of her for doing that right in the middle of her life."
During his speech -- which lasted for nearly 20 minutes -- Ryan also gave credit to a federal advisory commission organized by President Bill Clinton.
"Our solution to preserve, protect, and save Medicare does not affect your benefits. Let me repeat that. Our plan does not affect the benefits for people who are in or near retirement. It's a promise that was made and it's a promise that must be kept," Ryan said.
"But in order to make sure we can guarantee that promise -- for my mom's generation, for those baby boomers who are retiring every day -- we must reform it for my generation. To save it for this generation, you have to reform it for my generation so it doesn't go bankrupt when we retire."
Ryan says the Romney-Ryan plan "originated in the Clinton Commission plan to save Medicare in the 1990s."
Responding to Ryan's pitch here, Obama campaign advisers argued that the Romney campaign isn't telling Florida's seniors the full truth about their plan.
"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan know a detailed debate about their Medicare voucher plan is politically 'suicidal' so they're not telling the truth about its impact on current seniors," Obama campaign spokesman Danny Kanner wrote in an email.
While a plane flew overhead with a banner that read "Paul Ryan -- keep your hands off our Medicare" and a small group of protesters carried signs supporting Obama's reelection bid and "Hands off my Medicare," most people here were excited for the opportunity to get close to Ryan as he wraps his first week on the GOP ticket.
"We saw Mitt Romney when he was here around Christmastime. We've seen the next president, so we wanted to see the next vice president," Irvin Craft, 72, said. "He's very astute, he's very conservative. He's got a plan -- we think it's the right kind of plan. And I think he'll lead us in the right direction.
Craft, originally from Roanoke, Va., and his wife, BJ, scored a prized spot near the front of the crowd by showing up before8 a.m. The Villages, they say, is like "Disneyland for old people," where they can drive their golf carts everywhere. Ryan and Romney's plan to reform Medicare didn't worry them. But Obama's health care law does.
"It looks like he'll maybe put some money back in Medicare that Obama took out, and get rid of Obamacare. And we'll have some direction when a new program comes out," Irvin Craft said.
Mostly, they said, they wanted to hear Ryan sing "America, The Beautiful", as Romney famously did at a campaign rally here (it was later used in an Obama TV ad).
"We got to hear Mitt sing and he can carry a tune also," BJ Craft said. "I was surprised. We love that."
But Ryan didn't, instead leaving the vocals to country star Lee Greenwood, who belted out "God Bless the U.S.A." before Ryan took the stage.
