Time's a funny thing.
No, actually, it's not - it's seconds and minutes and hours and - it's really not all that hard to understand.
That being said, Pepper, you're exactly 1 minute and 12 seconds late to our weekly coffee meeting. I may or may not be deeply offended. And philosophical, all at once!
You might want to show up soon, or I'll order you a caramel latte with high fat milk and cream.
"Depends," Tony examined his fingers, smudged grease providing a dirty film over each one, "Are we talking Team Edward here?"
Reboot: Now an Independent RP.
Don't tell me - you're a Stoker fan.
[Jarvis, run a background check.]
starkbrilliance said: I don't know who hired you, but they're fired.
But I didn't do anything wrong.
Happy, get off of Tumblr.
There is a nearly unbearably gentle and kind side to Anthony Stark, a side Pepper probably only sees and only witnesses for split seconds at a time. She has always grasped at those moments, wishing she could bottle them up and keep them for later. To be able to show the world that Tony Stark isn't always an asshole. It is one of these precious rare moments that she sees flicker within his eyes when he tells her he wouldn't consciously hurt her.
It's there and then it's gone.
She closes her green eyes and rubs her temples, a dull headache forming. Serious conversations are so rare between them and it's clear neither one of them knows how to handle it.
But for once he doesn't seem to be completely pushing her out and away, something that confuses her a little. Pepper wants to desperately take advantage of this but she also doesn't want to fight. There has been nothing but tension and bickering since his near death at the hands of Loki's army.
The lab is insufferably quiet, making this all the more difficult. At this moment, a lump is stuck in the back of her throat. All she wants is to embrace him and be assured that everything is ok, but her pride is clouding her judgment.
"You're more than a commodity, Tony. You are more than Iron Man. You are so much more than all of that. I wish you could see how much people truly care about you. And how your actions affect others."
His teeth grind together, despite the protests of his jaw. Tony feels his knees start to give way and leans back against the table, fixing Pepper with an amused stare and a raised eyebrow. Something's warning him that he's said too much, and hell if that's ever been a problem before, but it is now. Even so, he listens as Pepper speaks, shoving her words off even as they're pushed towards him through the static air of the workshop around him.
"Is that all?" Tony inspects his nails, before looking back up, "Because I'm pretty sure I'm one hell of a lay, too."
And there's the moment gone. Tony'd congratulate himself on a swift change of rails, but at the moment, all he feels is tired. He's bone weary and sick of hearing her tell him that he's a special little flower because he's not. He's not some sort of golden statue to be put on a pedestal, he hates the way people turn his feet to lead. Why the hell should he care what he does to others? They've never done anything for him.
Except, Pepper has, and maybe that's the reason why his gut turns as he continues, "Are you trying to tell me to be more careful?"
Tony's hand shakes minutely as he presses it against his side and picks up a small piece of metal for inspection with the other, "I'm touched."

If you had to sum up my life's work thus far, it would be something like, "he strives to have his cake and eat it too."
once I stopped looking at my life like some narrative w/ a beginning middle and ending and started to envision my existence as not bound by some linear definition of progression I became a trillion times less stressed true story
omg just felt my chest get lighter
This is so true and has been so meaningful to me over the last year that I can't even.

The Narcissism Engine
I think about med school interviews a lot because they're pivotal and terrifying. Specifically, I think about how I'll present my mixed curriculum to the interviewer; how I can definitively say what the humanities mean to me as a person, and how I believe they will make me a better doctor. Not only is the rehearsal a mode of comfort, it's also a way of getting at a question important to my life; what does my work mean?
Most of my classical studies have related to heroes. This semester, where two of my classes will study the Aeneid and Alexander the Great's legend, builds off a trend that arguably began freshman year, with my first Homer survey. And so today, I was thinking about how that figures into the interview.
Interviewer: Why classics?
Me: I'm interested in heroes as role models. What makes them paragons, and what are the specific exemplary qualities they have?
There was more elucidation, but that was really when the point I hope to communicate hit me. The foremost "specific exemplary quality" in my mind, throughout my life, has been arete. Excellence. Mastery of what you do. If you're going to be a doctor, be the best doctor. Know your craft. Etc. And what I realized was that the heroes I study are the examples that push me. The examples I aspire to surpass. The ugliness there is that the driving force is not internal motivation, but external validation; to be so great that one day, people write epics about you. Studying Alexander encourages me to become the Alexander of biochemistry more than studying biochemistry does.
It's an engine, for sure. It gets me places. But shouldn't the quality of that engine matter?
I don't know how I feel about this, but it describes the pattern I find myself in at present to a T.

Act 2, Scene 2
Last night and this morning were the first times that it wasn't unbearably hot in my room. I live on the top floor of a Tufts owned house, in what is a rather nice two person apartment. In a few days, I imagine it will seem completely like home.
There's a generation of us who seem to be just over the whole experience of college. A friend of mine with whom I spoke last night, who also spent the time from January to the end of summer doing non-student things, used similar words, and I realized that they described my feelings pretty well, and in a way I hadn't been able to articulate.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I remarked. I think we'll come to balance the "normality" we left behind with that otherness, and both experiences will be richer for it. But I've been looking around me the last few days, and what I feel verges disturbingly on vanity. Another good reason to hope for that balance!
In other news, it looks like the old Sunday adage will hold, where I can begin the day after 1 pm and still finish everything. But Sunday isn't over yet, so I guess we'll see.
First school day in eight months. More to say about the choice of song later!
The best of me was two weeks at the very end of the spring term of junior year, during which my US History term paper came due, I played the bulk of a very fulfilling variant of Diplomacy online with twelve friends, and my theater group teched our production of Hamlet. I averaged about four to six hours of sleep a night. I would finish classes at 6, drive a half hour to Portsmouth while scarfing down whatever dinner I could find, rehearse until midnight, and then come home to do homework, however long it took. I loved all of it.
I would like to be that person again.
On basslines and how far to go
A bassline is the subtext of a song, and I think the part that ultimately elicits the most emotion. But unconsciously. We attribute evocation more to the melody, or lyrics if the song has it, but bass vibrates the soul.
One of the main characters in my novel, Aidan, is designed around the idea that the most power lies in what's unspoken and unseen, in subversion rather than assault. Perhaps even what's unspeakable. It's a curious paradox to me that I believe in this, and yet also strive to quantify everything. Thinking about this a little further after the original posting, Aidan resolves this dilemma, in a sense. In a later part of my novel, he becomes spymaster for a city-state in a post-war galaxy of fractured nations. Precisely by quantifying everything that's unspoken and unseen in the world of secret intelligence does he manage to do his job. But that only takes care of two-thirds of the issue. What about naming the unnameable?
I don't consider such a process reductive, unlike a lot of people close to me. For example, recently some of those people quit Facebook after Timeline was introduced because they found such a detailed system for online scrapbooking to be necessarily so. Rather than reductive, I think it's just expanding terms, words, tangible secular human systems of control, to settle comfortably around intangibles, to chase and ride their borders of layers and implication and meaning as they expand into the deep. Behind their decision to leave Facebook was a growing concern that more and more people nowadays actually do reduce people to their online components, instead of taking it as one part of the larger person. And it's a concern that I share. But to me, once you understand the reductive aspect and reject it, casting a net of quantity to cuddle with quality is just chasing the unknown. And there's nothing wrong with that.
All of that said, it should bother me more that I can't conceive of all the shades of grey within a single bassline. But it doesn't (although it did bother me that the only thing I needed to finish this post was absolute silence.) Sometimes, I guess, until you can figure something out, you just have to stand in awe of it.
(I might come back to this later. I've already done so once, and I've actually been mulling this since last night. So we will see. :) )
A night in the park
I took a walk today. It rained for most of the day, and all of yesterday, and most of the past week, but it cleared up this evening and after an involuntary four-hour nap (my sleep schedule is still a little fucked) in the middle of the day, I was eager to get out and do something. Also, it was a good way to procrastinate my packing.
I was also really excited because it was just cold enough to make my usual summer clothing an uncomfortable choice. Coming from New England, a lot of my favorite clothing is designed for cooler temperatures. I finally got the chance to wear the blue pants I'd impulse bought in Christchurch two months ago but that it's been too hot to wear. I also pulled on my grey jacket, incidentally also an impulse buy last October, which I hadn't worn since Japan, in the beginning. I really like it. It's a nice spring jacket and a good color and looks super cool. It is possibly the coolest thing I own (apart from a bow tie.) Also it has lots of pockets, and my pipe pouch fits perfectly into one of them.
I suspect that the Whiskey Cavendish I added last time is responsible for the syrupy flavor I've gotten twice now when I first start burning the bowl. The pouch is almost empty so I'm thinking I'll load up with a greater ratio of that since I haven't really had the chance to experience it yet. It didn't burn particularly well a few months ago. I still don't think I'm very good at actually smoking the damn thing, but it's a practical science, and I now have good bowls more often than not.
The sunset was pretty dazzling, blinding orange right when I walked outside, and as I circled the park trying to catch different angles on it, strips of blue began to marble it. Against a midground of the Sydney skyline, it was something that I spent a good ten minutes staring at. A radio playlist (I think from December 9 of last year?) was already in progress on my iPod when I turned it on and I let it run. Something I hadn't heard for a while, something, in fact, I hadn't listened to in combination with a pipe, my jacket, and a cool night for months; sad Blink-182. When that ended, I switched to another radio playlist (they've made me really lazy about original mixes!) and kept walking. Like the previous one, it was peppered liberally with the sort of frenetic balls-to-the-wall type songs that I then realized made up an outsize portion of last summer. Why, I don't know. But the experience of last summer was certainly all of that. Whether the miasma of that summer infliltrated the songs or vice versa or both versa, I'm not sure. I pick things apart enough that sometimes, I'm content to just let the experience lie, whole.
It made me wonder why last summer was like that, why I've been craving it ever since. Because it was impossibly rich, impossibly kinetic. And suddenly I felt like I'd caught the scent of some grand epiphany. Perhaps if I know the cause of my wanderlust, I can curtail it enough that I don't feel obligated to go chasing something around the world.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Would you stop pimping other MMO's so much? Jeez just put up more ads for it already and stop pretending all the references to it are anything but paid advertising.
And why would I spend $65+ USD to play another MMO while WoW is down for a few hours? Protip: MMO players rarely play two subscription games at the same time.
If you are going to push other games at least be sensible and push games that aren't MMO's. WoW.com's readership (WoW fans, tending towards the newer and more casual spectrum) isn't the same as Massively's (fickle fickle veteran MMO players).
Stephen.Lecheler+wowinsider.com said...
Fact: WoW(Insider) is run by GameDaily with a focus on World Of Warcraft.
Fact: Massively is run by GameDaily with a focus on MMOs as a whole.
Abstraction 1: It is probably a corporate "suggestion" that you should be playing one of these "New MMOs that are neat" if you're not playing WoW.
Abstraction 2: There may be a significant crossover from WoW Mainstream to Comic book Heroes
Abstraction 3: If you do not like the content of this site there are plenty of other WoW News and Analysis sites out there that are of similar quality.

rawr! tiger claw!
Why would I need my tinfoil hat? You run advertising, you are owned by a gaming media company. When I see multiple mentions of how awesome Champions Online is it is fairly reasonable to concur that you are doing paid advertising. When I notice a lot of Dell or Apple laptops in a movie it isn't a conspiracy theory to guess that paid product placement is the reason the camera is doing a nice lingering shot on the logo.
And saying "Champions Online is pretty cool, check it out" does not in any way relate it to WoW. And sorry but all the stats I have ever seen say that MMO players most play one MMO. They might play other games but they are serial monogamists when it comes to MMO's.
"Protip: MMO players rarely play two subscription games at the same time. "
I suppose you're right, 2 is an awfully small number. I play 5, it was 6 but DDO is going free, and free realms is a mindless distraction every few weeks.
Though honestly I doubt I will stay with Aion, but SWTOR, STO, and WOD will cover the comings and goings for at least the next couple years.
Protip: Never assume you are representative of the MMO fanbase as a whole. You are only representative of you.

When you play one MMO, to be a mindless distraction from 5 OTHER MMO's, you may need to sit yourself down and rethink your time management.
This is coming from someone who thinks the amount of time he spends on wow is a lot... and it's only ONE MMO.
I couldn't imagine putting this much time into an entirely different mmo..
Here's where I get downranked... sorry >_<
'But I guess bragging that you waste 5x as much time as the common player, is kind of cool...'
@ Dear Adam.
Listen, most WOW players are fed up with the hate and ridiculous trolling on some forums about WOW. We just like to play WOW and when we visit a nice safe place like wowinsider, we just want info from the game we ALL love and play.
Those of us who have "enough" of the game will search for other games to play (like I had myself a long walk in the desert for 2 years in search for something something even remotely as good as Blizzard made) and guess what - after hundreds of lost euros and dozens of hours - I realized just how shallow and cheap most other mmo's are.
So lesson: you write about WOW (and Blizzard) games. If I wanted to have a look at other games, I would visit the other site. And I just pity the loss of money I already invested in all those duds. "War" was the last of a very long series of money grabbers. Those who are happy with those other mmo's must have a real bad taste in talks of game design (I make an exception for EVE - as boring as it may be). But of course some DO like xxxx.
So write for the fans and those fans better be warned by a person who tried all those other duds these last 3 years.
logicaldash said...
ok so WHAT if they (Adam and the rest of his team) are blatantly cros selling other MMO's on WoWInsider?
does it affect any other WoW related content you read from here? did any info here just all of a sudden become less interesting or the WI team becomes less advocate in reporting any WoW information/news to us just because they are doing all these ceoss selling??
frankly, i do not think so.
maybe it IS whoever WI's sponsor's/company's mandate for them to cross sell other MMO's. hell who cares?
i take what i need from here and i be happy with it.

في مناسبة عيد الاضحى المبارك كل سنة وانتم بخير
Best wishes on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha to everyone!
This is the classic kibbé made into a roll instead of the traditional meatball version. It is inspired by the (heavenly) pastry burma of shredded wheat and pistachios dipped in syrup and hails from the Syrian culinary Mecca, Aleppo. I tweaked the recipe a bit by omitting the meat in the stuffing. The result here is a kibbé that is extra moist, stuffed with onion jam and pistachios with the delicious sweet and sour taste of pomegranate molasses.
I consulted Marlene Mattar's Maeedat Marlene for the recipe.
INGREDIENTS: This quantity will make 2 rolls, or 8 to 10 servings
- 1 pound of extra-lean meat (lamb or beef or veal)
- 1 cup of fine bulgur (#1)
- 1 medium-size onion (about 5 ounces)
- Spices: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, allspice, salt, white pepper. Pinch of nutmeg and paprika.
- 2 large onions (about 1 pound or 500 g)
- 2 cups of pistachios
- Spices: 2 teaspoons of sumak, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, salt and pepper to taste
- 1 generous tablespoon of pomegranate molasses
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter
Making the kibbé shell:
- Place the onion in a food processor or chop very finely by hand. Place the bulgur in a bowl, add some water and soak for 15 seconds. Drain immediately and push all the extra water out. Add the drained bulgur to the onion and mix a few seconds. Add the spices. Remove the mixture.
- Place the meat in the processor. Process for 3 minutes.
- Place the bulgur and onion and spice mixture back in the processor along with the meat. Process 3 minutes until the mixture is compact. Check for seasoning, adding extra salt, pepper or any spice that suits your fancy.
- Place the kibbé in a bowl and refrigerate (up to one day) until needed.
Making the stuffing:
- Peel the pistachios (optional) by either pouring boiling water over them and then peeling them a half hour later or tap water for 2 hours or longer.
- Chop the onions. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet and then fry the onions gently, stirring from time to time, for about 20 minutes. When golden, add the spices and fry another 20 minutes. Add the pomegranate molasses and the pistachios and fry another 5 minutes until the mixture is very soft and the onions are brown. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more pomegranate molasses if you wish.
- Cool the stuffing a few minutes while you prepare the kibbé roll or refrigerate for a while till ready.
- Divide the meat mixture in two balls of equal size
- Grease two long sheets of aluminum foil and set side by side and cut two sheets of wax paper as well.
- On top of the foil, set one ball of meat dough. Flatten it with your hands and place the wax paper on top of the dough. Roll the dough into a 10 inchX 7 inch rectangle
- Place half the filling along the long side of the rectangle of dough. Fold the dough over and press the extremities until the sausage is formed. Wrap in the foil, pressing the sides like a candy wrapper.
- Do the same thing with the other dough. Place both rolls on a cookie sheet or metal pan and bake in a 375F oven for 20 minutes or so.
- Remove the foil from the kibbé rolls and (this is an optional step) brush with some butter or olive oil all over. Flip the roll over so that the seam is side down and bake another 10 minutes until the roll is brown and shiny.
- Let it rest a couple of minutes and cut into slices and serve. This can also be served at room temperature. Serve it with a salad or yoghurt salad if you wish.

A lot of times women are the ones saying it and it looks like a large group of women in Vermillion are putting their money where their mouth is. Nancy Naeve won't go as far as to say they are running the world, but they are running Main Street in Vermillion and they are all succeeding wildly.
Vermillion's downtown is bustling, even on a Monday morning at 10:00. Window shopping is especially fun here because nearly all the stores are filled which is bucking a national trend where you see downtown's starting to dwindle. Here in Coyote Country you can credit the boom in business to the women.
"They are risk takers, they are go getters, and they really get it. They get this community." Executive Director of the Vermillion Chamber and Development Company Steve Howe said.
Bekki Engquist-Schroeder definitely gets it and loves owning and operating her own business called "The Spa at Winnie Mae". She bought the building in February on her own, not with mom and dad's money or her husbands and picked it because her mom Crystal Solomon has room for her store "The Front Porch" in the front. She says she is all in.
"So many times we end up following our husbands career when I opened up this business, my husband knows I'm committed to this business and we aren't going anywhere. We are here for the long run and this was a commitment he had to make with me, " Engquist-Schroeder said.
Next to the Bekki's spa is "Willson's Florist" owned and operated by Emily Sudbeck.
"I've owned it a little over a year. I worked her when I was in college and a little after I graduated and now we are kind of working on making it our own and loving it, "Sudbeck said.
A few shops down is "Nook 'n Cranny". Now when I went to school here in the late 80's, this store, the flower shop and the bars were the only things down here. Gloria Christopherson remembers. She just celebrated her 40th year on Main Street. Her advice?
"To keep the vision of what you really have a passion for cause it takes a lot of hours and you have to work really hard, "Christopherson said.
These women aren't just making their presence known on their store fronts; they are making their mark on the community.
"We are also seeing more and more women popping up on our boards, and committees in the community. They are leading things like community foundations, chamber boards, and city council. Women are definitely beginning to dominate in Vermillion right now, " Howe said.
And because of our feature on them, the women decided to step out of their stores, line up on the street and capture this moment in time. They are keeping Main Street alive and well and I'd say downtown Verm Town has never looked so good.
There are 36 women owned and operated business in downtown Vermillion. All of them work together to help empower and mentor other women to keep the momentum going.

Flip Flop - California - United States
Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

A Fort Worth man returned home Thursday night to find a young woman dead at his back door.
The man, who lives in a town home in the 3000 block of Overton Park West, immediately called police shortly after 6 p.m.
Police discovered the deceased, identified by the medical examiner as 17-year-old Claudia Hidic, had been shot and the home's back door was kicked in.
The resident said he didn't recognize Hidic.
Police are still investigating. It's not clear if anything had been taken from the home.
Saturday, Jim and Sue Scionka, former foster parents for Claudia Hidic told Fox 4 she was a beautiful young woman who had dreams of going to college and an acting career.
"If your heart is touching you," said Jim Scionka, "if you know anything about this situation I pray (you) would contact the authorities."

POZ Interview: Stick To Your Guns
PropertyOfZack had the chance to catch up with Josh from Stick To Your Guns a few weeks ago for an in-depth an interview. Josh and I discussed the band's current tour, continuing to tour with different types of bands and crowds, their new album catching up quick, the rest of their 2013, and other plans. Check it all out below!
The band is out right now on the first part of the The Ghost Inside headliner with Stray From The Path as well. How's the first week and a half been?
The first week has been way better than everybody's expectation. Obviously, we expected that the tour would be good because I think it's a lineup that a lot of kids that listen to us have been asking for [this] for a while. But the fact that every show has been sold out… I think like one hasn't sold out. But almost every show has sold out and the reactions from the crowd are just… It's fucking mind boggling. It's so awesome to be able to play these places and kids just absolutely lose their shit. The thing behind the tour was a cheap ticket price/ a low ticket price and smaller rooms to try to have more of an intimate feeling. That's exactly what this tour is providing, I think. Every band… Rotting Out sets it off every night, followed by Stray and then The Ghost Inside. With every band the crowd and the night gets more and more wild.
The package is just smart. All three of you guys, and Rotting Out as well, have been growing over the past year more and more. It just seems like this is where all these new albums and touring cycles are colliding. Is there a sense of excitement from everyone involved?
Yeah, you know. It's funny because over the last two years, there have been a couple of mentions about us going out with The Ghost Inside. But it was never anything more than just, "Oh we should go tour together!" Then Tom from Stray From The Path got on fucking Twitter and started tweeting like, "Hey, how sick would a Stray From The Path, The Ghost Inside, Stick To Your Guns tour be?" Then kids were like, "Go tell The Ghost Inside." It was almost social media abuse, where all of the sudden everyone's being punished online about, "If this tour happened, I'd flip the fuck out!" I think that because Tom was so adamant about starting shit on the internet that it actually brought attention to the people, the 'quote' powers at be: the booking agents, and all that shit. Then the next thing we know its being really talked about. It's awesome that… I think it's really cool that for once it's really a tour for-the-bands by-the-bands. There a lot less industry, for lack of a better word, involved in it. That's really cool.
Your last record has been out for about a year now. Is the set based heavily on that record now?
Yeah. Whenever you write a record, or release a record, the band always wants to play new songs. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, it takes almost an entire record cycle for those new songs to start clicking. Live, I feel like sometimes the crowds are one record behind. So you come out with this new record, and then they want to hear the shit from the record before. It's a cycle like that. We got really lucky with Diamond, it's been out for a year now, and as soon as it came out, we went ahead and started putting new songs in the set; definitely keeping a lot of the old stuff in. We saw within the first few months of it being released that kids were losing their shit to the new stuff, way more than the old stuff. We were like, "Wait! Is this true? Are we actually able to play the new songs we want to play live?" So on this tour; we're definitely playing a lot of songs off of Diamond. We play songs from every record, but the tour definitely sits on the side of new stuff. Like I said, it's great because it's getting the best reactions. That's what the goal of the record was and that's definitely what our goal was. We're just super stoked that kids have been able to connect to the record and really understand what we're trying to get across; the energy that we're trying to put out there. It's definitely on the air of the new stuff.
So now that it's totally caught on, are you guys where you want to be? A little quicker than you thought off of this record?
I'll say as far as what I was just talking about, the reactions of the new songs, definitely. But as far as the great tours that we've been getting this entire record cycle, being able to be on all of Warped Tour this coming summer, and that our 2013 is already completely booked… we're already booked until December 15th. It's just tours that can't be announced yet. That is mind blowing. Because I don't think that we were… when this record was coming out, it wasn't like, "Okay! Let's try to get booked a full year in advance!" You know what I mean? And it just kept happening! Tours just kept getting offered. We were lucky enough to be able to do so many different types of tours. We're doing this tour, which is more a hardcore tour, and we just went out with Pennywise and Lagwagon, which are like bands that most of us grew up on that I never would have imagined. I learned how to play guitar because of Lagwagon. I never would have imagined that my band would now be on tour with them. From that to even doing tours like Motionless In White. It's just all over the map as far as the genres we've been touring with. And we love it. We love being able to play with different bands every tour; different types of bands and different types of people. I think it's moved a lot faster than we ever anticipated, as far as that goes. But we're more than satisfied. It's one of those things where I feel like a lot of bands didn't ever realize when they're having that moment; once the band starts taming down a little bit or dropping off a little bit they're like, "Fuck! That year was so sick, I wish I would have appreciated it!" We've had so many talks like that with the band, where it's like, "Man. This is so fucking awesome. We're so fuckin' stoked." We're so fuckin' thankful for everybody, from everybody that works for us to everybody who comes out to the shows. We are definitely making sure that we live in the moment. Because we know that any minute it can stop.
You're going from metalcore, to a hardcore tour, to punk, and Warped is obviously where all those kids intertwine. Do you think Warped will be a great place to see what doing all these other tours has done for your fanbase now?
Yeah, I think that Warped Tour will be a good way to measure that to see if we're making the right moves. It's one of those things where… at the end of every tour that we've done in a cycle we go, "Fuck! I'm so stoked we did that. That was awesome." Definitely because the band has an actual message. It's not just getting up there and shitting out ten or twelve songs a night. There's also stuff that Jesse wants to make sure he gets a point across to the crowd and let them know that to us it's not just a band, it's also about trying to spread a message of hope and letting people know that if they're feeling alone that it's not the case and that there's other people like you and that you're welcome and that you're accepted. Whethere you're a homosexual, or whether you're a different race or whatever it is. If you're a woman or if you're a man. Whatever it is. The fact that because we've been doing all these different tours, I think people hear that almost louder than the music. That's what maybe attracts them to the band. It's funny, when we did the Motionless In White tour, we were like, "Well, we'll definitely be able to tell on later tours if kids from this tour were into our band." They'll be showing up with makeup or gothic clothing or whatever. It's crazy because even on this first week of this tour with The Ghost Inside, there's been a good ammount of kids like, "You're definitely from the Motionless In White tour." That's really cool.
Do you think it's important to continue to do tours like that, where you're testing your limits a little more?
Yeah. Honestly, it's just boring whenever you do the same type of tours and play with the same type of bands all of the time. A lot of times, we'll do a tour with a band like Motionless In White and some kids will start talking shit on our social media like, "I can't fucking believe you would go out on a tour with a band like that!" "Why are you doing that?" "That's not hardcore!" Well, we're not talking about it being hardcore. We like those guys. Those guys are cool. You know what? That band actually has a message as well. They're a good fuckin' band. So what if they don't fucking sound like The Ghost Inside or Rotting Out? They're a good band. If you like our band and want for us to keep going on and to continue, then you'll come and support and you'll go buck wild to show their fans that that's how our fans are. Then it will maybe turn those fans on to being more into hardcore. It's funny because Stick To Your Guns has such a message of acceptance and then sometimes I feel like kids don't understand that… they're just not being accepting if they're talking shit like that. But yeah, I think that's the goal is to continue to play a vast majority of genres.
For the rest of the spring, you have this tour and they you are hopping over to Europe and then just Warped after that, right?
Yeah. That's it right now. Then we'll be doing some more tours in the fall. Once those obviously get confirmed and all that, that kind of shit is finalized, it will be announced. Warped Tour right now, is something… we were actually just talking about it while we were walking through the hell that is Houston currently because everything is closed… But we were just talking about how a few of us have done Warped Tour before and it's one of those tours that can fully crush a band. So we're already trying to get mentally prepared; ready for the heat; ready for the long days; the early load-ins; all that shit. Our goal is to just be able to have as much fun as possible on tour. That's the first type of tour that can be as fun as you want it to be or it can be as miserable as you want it to be. It's all up to the individual. So we were just talking about it like, "Alright. If we kind of make sure we get our head in the game, we can have a fucking blast on it." There's no reason why we shouldn't. We're super stoked that Warped Tour asked us to be on the entire thing. We were blown away by it, so we want to make sure that we appreciate it.
If you are literally booked until the end of 2013, do you think you'll take time off after that to think about new music?
Actually. I say yeah, we're going to take some time off, but what will happen every single time we say we're going to take some time off, is another tour comes along. We love touring so much that we end up taking it. Jesse and I, actually in the last two days, have been working on a new song. When we just had a couple of weeks off, Chris was working on some songs. So we've actually already started working on new music, we just figured we'd go ahead and get a jump start on it now so that by the time… when the time comes for us to really crack down, we'll have a really huge selection of songs to pick from instead of just, "Okay we need twelve songs for the record." I'd love to have twenty songs and pick out the twelve best or whatever. So we've started working on shit now, and I'm not going to guarantee, but the goal is to have a new record out in 2014.

Posted by booyah85 on Apr. 06, 2014
What.....the.....FAHK.....is this......horse shit?!,,,
Cool! At least they're getting hits on the Internet, instead of those of us that'll never be seen outside our home towns for our lives.
I didn't even watch this. These are so boring
For a Klingon the video with the girl's hair catching fire is far better than this GAGH.
I can't click on the title screen, I just can't. Did you see that guys face? C'MON! You expect me to click that?
This song was written for the cartoon in the 60's. Most of you wouldn't know that.
I couldn't watch it till the end I just couldn't it fucking sucked!
It's literally impossible to get anymore lame. Music sucks, song has no point. And then they're all out of breath at the end? After a minute and a half of singing? That's 90 seconds...and you're out of breath?
Utter garbage

Floyd Co., Ky. (WHAS11)- Two Floyd County men, including a candidate for mayor, are in jail Thursday night, charged with voter fraud.
Paul Ethridge and Joshua Clemens were arrested Thursday afternoon.
Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson announced Thursday that a grand jury had indicted the men.
Ethridge ran for mayor in the May 2011 primary.
Henderson says the two falsely obtained and marked absentee ballots.
He would not say how many ballots were involved.
"Once they reach the point of criminal charges being filed, they are extremely serious. We have to ensure a fair process in voting. We have to send a clear strong message that no fraud, no manipulation of the rules will be tolerated," says Henderson.
Henderson says the investigation will continue, and that the grand jury may be called back into action.
All the charges are Class D felonies, which are punishable by six months to three years in jail, plus a fine.

Live Oak Wedding Invitation
Posted June 24, 2011 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 2 Comments
My friend is getting married in less than a month and this live oak wedding invitation reminds me of her engagement story. On many occasions, she and her boyfriend would ride their bikes up to a local park to climb a live oak tree and sit to chat. This elder oak sits on the water's edge, making it a prime location for romantic moments – such as a surprise proposal! One day, her boyfriend asked her to ride bikes with him up to the park like they usually do. But, this time, he dropped down on one knee and proposed! Now, their initials are carved into the live oak making it a special place for them. If you have a similar engagement story, or you love nature-inspired wedding invitations, you'll love this unique print by The Ink Lab. Each invitation is delicately designed and digitally printed onto high-quality card stock. I love the color combination shown, but additional colors are also available by request – so get creative!

SEC recruiting comings and goings
January, 30, 2012
By Chris Low | ESPN.com
With national signing day fast approaching on Wednesday, here's a look at the latest involving SEC schools:
- Tennessee lost ESPNU 150 linebacker Dalton Santos to Texas. Santos had started looking around again after Tennessee lost defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and linebackers coach Peter Sirmon to Washington. Santos, who's from Van, Texas, is rated by ESPN as the No. 1 inside linebacker prospect in the country. The Longhorns didn't offer Santos until late, and he confirmed on Sunday that he would be signing with Texas.
- The Vols are one of the favorites for Cordarrelle Patterson, who's rated as one of the top junior college receivers in the country. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Patterson is originally from Rock Hill, S.C., but is currently at Huchinson (Kan.) Community College. Georgia and Ole Miss are also finalists for Patterson.
- Arkansas is still keeping its fingers crossed that receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will pick the Hogs on signing day. Green-Beckham is rated as the No. 3 prospect in the country by ESPN, and is expected to pick between Arkansas and Missouri on signing day. He will make his announcement on ESPNU.
- Over the weekend, the Hogs picked up a commitment from junior college receiver Demetrius Wilson of Glendale (Ariz.) Community College.
- South Carolina is trying to pry cornerback Chris Moody of McDonough, Ga., away from Vanderbilt. The 6-1, 190-pound Moody had been committed to the Commodores, but made an official visit over the weekend along with his father to South Carolina. Moody is rated as the No. 36 athlete in the country by ESPN.
- Vanderbilt is also trying to hold onto defensive end/outside linebacker Josh Dawson of Tucker, Ga., but Georgia is making a late push. Dawson has been committed to the Commodores since last summer. Dawson is rated by ESPN as the No. 44 defensive end prospect in the country.
- Running back Justin Taylor of Atlanta visited Ole Miss over the weekend and will decide between Alabama and Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide have talked to Taylor about grayshirting and enrolling in January, but the Rebels have a spot for him right now.
- Cornerback Sheldon Dawson of Memphis is down to Ole Miss and Georgia. Dawson visited Ole Miss this past weekend and is rated by ESPN as the No. 69 cornerback prospect in the country.
- Auburn lost out to Oregon over the weekend on offensive/defensive lineman Arik Armstead of Elk Grove, Calif. Armstead is an ESPNU 150 prospect and rated as the No. 3 offensive tackle nationally by ESPN.
- As Alex Scarborough of ESPN.com's TideNation points out, Alabama has 12 ESPNU 150 commitments heading into signing day, which is more than all of the other Western Division teams combined. The other five West teams from 2011 have a total of nine ESPNU 150 commitments. LSU has four, Auburn two, Ole Miss two and Mississippi State one.

Blood Type Diet
The making of this web site is to provide information on the Blood Type Diet. It is presented in simple English with a hope that the viewer could easily understand the practice of this diet. Generally, Blood Type Diet could separate into four categories, i.e., Blood Type Diet O, A, B and AB. Blood Type Diet believed that every blood group needs different foods for health optimization and the right foods could assist in weight loss.
Blood Type Diet: Weight Loss and Diet Chart
Blood Type Diet: Pros and Cons
Blood Groups in Global Distribution
Blood Type O Diet
Blood Type O is the earliest blood type in the evolution. It is associated with the ancient hunter who used to hunted meat and seafood tending to be muscular and active. The ancient hunter in those eras was engaging in high intensity physical activities. Hence, the health of Blood Type O is base on this fundamental.
Animal protein is easily digested by the people having Blood Type O positive blood group. This is the reason where O positive blood diet suggests meat and seafood are to be consumed on a large scale for this blood type.
Grains and dairy products are not digested well by people with O positive blood type. The reason is dairy products and grains were not introduced to the O positive blood type by the ancestors. Adding up these two facts, high protein and low carbohydrate foods are included in the O positive blood type diet.
The Blood Type O dieters shall be taking high-protein diet, more in meat and light on vegetables. Dairy and wheat products will be leading to gaining in weight. Vegetables such as cabbage, brussel spouts, cauliflower, and mustard greens slow down thyroid function which leads to fatigue and weight gain. Taking of coffee should be limited.
Flaxseed and olive oil are the oils in which suitable to the O positive blood type. In drinks, green tea is a good choice in the O positive blood type diet. Wine and beer are the alcoholic beverages that suitable for this type of dieter.
When Blood Type O dieter is on a particular diet, it is very important to be familiar with the food the dieter can consume. This would do away with the unnecessary cravings and helps to improve the metabolism.
Vegetable such as carrots, celery and cucumbers and its' juices, fresh fruits such as pears, plums and bananas, as well as soy milk and rice crackers are the things the dieter can consume on when the Blood Type O positive dieter is following O positive blood type diet.
Simply changing the daily eating behavior does not provide the benefits of following a diet. People on O positive blood type diets have to do rigorous exercise, i.e., carry out more of cardiovascular exercises. Alternatively, aerobics is another good choice of routine exercise. Lastly try to limit on processed foods and chocolates.

A crew member on the "Charlie's Angels" set has been fired after slapping Minka Kelly's butt.
There's a report out that the guy was holding a $100 bill when he slapped her, and that she retaliated later by slapping him, but our sources say that's NOT true.
What did happen ... according to sources directly connected to the production ... is that the man did indeed slap Kelly, and sources at ABC tell us, she responded by telling him, "Please don't ever disrespect me or any other woman like that again."
Some of the witnesses told ABC honchos, and given the network's zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment, the dude was immediately banned from the set and subsequently fired.
We're told Minka did not want to get the guy fired and had nothing to do with the decision -- she was friendly with the man and upset that he lost his job after moving his family to town for the job.
And, ABC sources say, this was not an isolated incident -- the guy had done it before to other women.
Without a doubt the dude is a loser, but... These zero tolerance policies are turning Americans into *******. All it tells me is management is incapable of evaluating personnel decisions, in other words they're a bunch of nitwits. While I don't condone what this guy did I can't see firing an employee over a single incident like this. If management knew of a history of this kind of behavior maybe they shouldn't have hired him in the first place? In terms of slapping someone on the butt, is it sexual? I say probably not although it is certainly inappropriate.
Well he is one stupid bastard, and deserves to be fired, and BTW jerko, jobs are not easy to come by.
So maybe you are a dumb ass and you belong working in a strip club!
Who cares? This show is going to be cancelled ten minutes after it premieres.
So they have a zero tolerance policy and then go on to say he's "done this before"?? Sounds like BS to me...
She'll only have phone sex. Anything else would be disrespectful.
Funny... The guy had done it several times before, so where was the network's "zero-tolerance" policy? It took a celebrity to make the network to enforce its own policy. HYPOCRITES!
Firing him was the responsible thing to do, not only because it is illegal to assault anyone, sexually or otherwise, but also to send a strong message to all men that women are not your freakin' property, so keep your hands off unless you are invited.....or there will be Consequences!!! Pity that jerk's wife. She must be a real doormat.
Don't forget to mention the environment was one of "joking around." This was a set where such conduct was not unusual.
Also, the guy apologized to her - went up to her the next day and apologized and told her it was all in jest given the cir****tances.
This wasn't a random act where she walked by and he, out of no where, slapped her ass with a $100 dollar bill. No, this was an incident that was in conjunction with the atmosphere - maybe it went a bit far but NOT intended to be a random out of no where incident.
Now, this bitch is acting like the world is about to end and she "feels sorry that he lost his job." What a total bitch.
If it was a random out of no where slap - ok, we understand. But bitch - this wasn't a random act - it was all part of the atmosphere at the time it happened - the usual fooling around.
Filthy skank. You and your show will fail anyway. Good luck with that bitchy reputation you skank. F YOU!
Hollywood, so hypocritical. This dude's my hero.
This guy must have been hidden under a rock for the past 20 years or better to not realise that doing something like this would get him fired. It could be worse, he could be charged with sexual harrassment. He should be thanking his lucky stars she's not pressing charges!
Anyone who has ever had something like this happen knows how repulsive and degrading it is. At the very least this man owes her an apology! He may also want to enroll in a human rights course so he can be educated on what's acceptable in the work place. What a tool!
shouldnt have done it even tho she is a whore!
Along with snagging more child support, this is where their power comes from!
First: How does she know the man moved his family for the job? I was taught to keep it professional at work and her knowing this implies they didn't keep it professional. Second: Why did it take Minka getting her behind slapped to fire this man? Did the other women he slapped not matter?
Last: ABC should've gone further and shut the whole production down because they can't top Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith. It just can't be done!!!
oh come on, her mother was a stripper and shes this uptight? girls like a little motivational butt slap
How can ABC have a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment yet this wasn't the first time this guy had done this? Wow, that makes a lot of sense....

Time of Troubles
Time of Troubles
When Ivan IV died in 1584, he was succeeded by his son Feodor I. Feodor was mentally simple and childlike, incapable of governing; he was glad to hand his responsibilities over to his able brother-in-law Boris Godunov, who ruled in fact although not in name.
Feodor died in 1598. Hereditary rule had been the law in Russia since 1450, but since Feodor was the last of his family, a successor would have to be chosen by other authority figures. A council of six hundred boyars, clergy, and military officers elected Boris Godunov. His election began an era known in Russian history as the Time of Troubles. Although Boris was an intelligent and capable ruler, he had many enemies and was not popular among his subjects. For one thing, he had been an oprichnik and his wife was the daughter of the leader of this feared and hated gang; for another, many people suspected him of having murdered Feodor's younger brother Dmitri, who had been discovered stabbed to death in 1591 in a mystery that historians have yet to solve. In addition, the boyars opposed Boris's plans to reorganize the administration and make it more efficient. They preferred to cling to the privileges and personal advantages they enjoyed in an inefficient system.
The Time of Troubles was a period of chaos on many levels. First, there was social unrest within the Russian population. Second, there was a struggle for power among a variety of candidates for the throne. Third, fighting broke out among the armies of Sweden, Poland, and Russia as part of the struggle over who would rule the empire.
Social Unrest
In 1597, Boris issued a ukase, or royal edict, restricting the liberty peasants to move freely throughout the empire. In 1601, however, crop failure resulted in famine that caused thousands of peasants to defy the ukase, since remaining on barren land was tantamount to a death sentence. Many peasants roamed the countryside looking for food; others moved into towns and cities looking for work that would pay wages. By 1603, there was widespread social unrest; the czar had to muster the army to put down rebellion among the peasants and other members of the poorer classes.
The Struggle for Power
After the death of Feodor, Russia reverted to the days before Vasili II, when power was taken by violence and conquest rather than inheritance. Boris Godunov was a duly elected regent, but despite his intelligence and undoubted administrative ability, he was unable to unify and control the diverse elements within his realm. The situation was ripe for the appearance of a strong leader, but although several men tried to grab power, none could hold on to it.
In 1601, the first claimant appeared, declaring that he was Dmitri, Feodor I's younger brother. According to his story, the body identified in 1591 as Dmitri's had been someone else's; he, the real Dmitri, had been smuggled out of Russia and grown up in safety. The claim was false; historians believe the False Dmitri to have been a Russian nobleman. Whoever he really was, the False Dmitri won the support of the Polish army by promising to turn over some territory to King Zygmunt III on his accession to the Russian throne. Despite a triumphal march into Moscow two months after Godunov's death in 1605, with thousands of Poles and Cossacks in his train, the False Dmitri could not maintain power, and the boyars, who had never believed his claim of royal birth, murdered him in 1606. The boyar Vasili Shiuskii then assumed power, with the support of his fellow nobles, but although he did succeed in putting down a major peasant uprising, he was eventually forced out.
The Invasions from the West
In 1607, a second False Dmitri appeared, again from Poland. Poland invaded Russia with the new claimant and soon established a rival Russian government in the Upper Volga region. The early success of this group forced Shiuskii to summon Swedish mercenaries to help him put it down. However, Shiuskii soon found himself trying to fight both the Poles and the Swedes, both of whom saw strategic advantages to be gained by opposing rather than supporting him. Poland and Russia began discussing the possibility of a Polish czar in exchange for an end to the fighting, but there were loud outcries of anger in the Orthodox Church against this plan, since the Poles were not Orthodox. In the end, a national uprising led to the election of a new Russian czar, the sixteen-year-old boyar Mikhail Romanov, in 1613. His direct heirs would rule Russia until the Revolution of 1917.
