Today, in an unusual Saturday session, the U.S. Senate abolished legally-sanctioned discrimination by the United States Armed Forces. Since the House has also voted to end it, the foolish "don't ask, don't tell" policy is assigned to the dustbin of history, along with the racially segregated Armed Forces, the belief that black men would be cowardly and unfit soldiers and the insistence that women could not fly combat aircraft.
The overwhelming vote, 65-31, came despite the statements of Marine Commandant James Amos, who insisted that a non-discriminatory Marine Corps will mean more dead U.S. Marines on the battlefield. That's sheer and utter nonsense, more a testiment to his prejudices than to any evidence that gay Marines do not serve with courage and honor.
One of the more interesting and intellectually honest arguments that separates conservatives and liberals is over whether love of country must be unconditional. Many conservatives tend to argue that those of us who are constantly agitating to change the nation — to improve its policies, to perfect its justice, to broaden its opportunity — aren't real patriots.
I could not disagree more. I love my country so much that I'll do what I can to ensure that it lives up to its ideals. Today, the U.S. Senate brought it one step closer to those ideals.

You guys try to have a happy holiday season. It's smart to be happy. It lowers the blood pressure and makes interactions with other people much more rewarding.
if you can't be happy during the Christmas Season, there's really no hope for you. Just don't make the people around you miserable. They deserve better from you.

What astounds me is this penchant by non-believers to hate the fact that Christians love Christmas
Ahh the false persecution card. "Non-beleivers" dont hate the fact that "Christians love Christmas". Many "believers" do dislike the commercial overtones of what to them is to be religious holiday. "Non-believers" who are not Christian may dislike that Christmas used to be thrown out there without recognition of other holidays that are as meaning to them as yours is to you. And non-beleivers and many believers do hate when you try to impose Christmas or Christian believes into government, the courts, the schools, etc. Few, if any, have ever said you are not welcome to your believes….just stop trying to force others to participate in "Christmas", silent prayers, overt prayers, religious symbols on government property or any other number of silly things.
"I have found that most homosexual men have simply not emotionally matured past adolescence where everything is sexual." — frankly I think that reflects your own immaturity and prejudice. You have not met "most homosexual men" to even be a judge. But hey, let's judge heterosexuals by the likes of those who attend strip clubs or the sexual maturity of Howard Stern and his listeners. Let's judge most marketing people by the sexuality portrayed in their marketing
You may want to learn about that grubby twigs and berry in your face and tell me about the maturity level of sanctimonius marketing people.

"'Don't Ask' consigned to history's dust bin," but the truth about homosexuality remains:
-A twenty-five to thirty-year decrease in life expectancy
-Extremely promiscuous sexual activity
-20 times more frequent use of methamphetamine
-Primary and secondary syphilis that is more than 46 times that of other men and more than 71 times that of women
-A much higher rate of gonorrhea, various forms of hepatitis, and anal and genital warts
-HIV diagnoses that is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women
-Frequently fatal rectal cancer
-A much higher than usual incidence of suicide
"For the wages of sin is death." Indeed.

I have always wondered as I read the hateful and homophobic retoric spewed on these blogs…have some of you EVER actually met a gay man or woman and had an actual conversation with them?
I have the MOST honorable gay son who amazes me every day with his humanity. I am proud to be his father! When he told me he was gay, a little while later he found me crying and he came in and aplolgized for letting me down. I said "NO. I need to apologize to you for for not beating the %^(# out of our "friends" who would tell gay jokes around you." Now whenever ANYONE tells a derogatory gay joke around me, I tell them my son is gay and I don't appreciate them belittling my son. That ALWAYS stops them and they stammer and stutter. It puts a face on their bigotry.
So far he has not found a mate. When he does we will have another son in our family and he will be completely welcomed and loved.
December 19th, 2010
5:31 pm
If my son were to tell me he was gay this is what I would say (tough love):
1) I love you as my son and always will.
2) What you "feel" is one thing. What you "do" is another.
3) Some men "feel" like cheating on their wives. What they "do" is another matter.
4) I will do everything I can to help you deal with this emotionally, spiritually and even physically destructive lifestyle.
5) If you were married and having an adulterous affair, I would not let you bring that woman into our home. Neither will I allow you to bring a male sexual partner into our home.
6) Sometimes "celibacy" is the only answer and in this case it is.
December 19th, 2010
5:32 pm
Let's all keep in mind that…just because gays can now serve openly…it doesn't mean that they're not still soldiers. Everyone realizes (I certainly hope) that gays will be expected to maintain the same standards of dress and behavior as straight soldiers. Nobody will have pink hair, no "modifications" will be allowed to military uniforms (including "rainbow" pins), men will still not be allowed to wear ear-rings. Barracks will not suddenly become bath-houses, and straight soldiers will not have to endure comments about their "junk". Straight soldiers are not allowed to wear their uniforms wherever they want, so gay soldiers won't be allowed to, either…which means no impromptu "gay battalions" marching in gay pride parades. Outrageous flaming behavior will not be tolerated, any more than any kind of outrageous behavior is tolerated from straight soldiers.
It simply means that gays can serve our country without having to hide a big part of their life, or pretending to be something they aren't. Gay soldiers have been defending the Constitution (with their lives, in some cases) for years, and it's about damn time its protection is extended to them, as well.

Well then TGT…its a good thing we are starting to address these unfortunate health issues since you seemingly selectively edit what you want from the CDC. Let's try some reality.
Homophobia, stigma, and discrimination persist in the United States and negatively affect the health and well-being of gay, bisexual, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and other members of the LGBT community. Homophobia, stigma, and discrimination are social determinants of health that can affect physical and mental health, whether MSM seek and are able to obtain health services, and the quality of the services they receive.

Hmmm… as long as we are at it, lets discuss the truth about hetersexuals and their problems. Again according to the CDC (and I post my links)
Worldwide, the majority of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections result from heterosexual transmission
December 19th, 2010
6:34 pm
TGT, Since lesbians have the lowest rates of STD's, you think that's the healthiest lifestyle for women? No pen!s = no STD's.
Oh, wait, women are an afterthought in your world. Sorry, didn't mean to be uppity.

The rest of the story:
Crystal meth has become the No. 1 drug used by individuals seeking treatment in county-funded programs, Fielding said. Although meth use has risen across demographic groups, abuse soared among women, particularly young Latinas, and Filipinos between 2001 and 2005, Fielding said.
The county has funded three new HIV- and meth-prevention programs addressing the disease and drug use, specifically aimed at men who have sex with men, Fielding said.
"Crystal has infiltrated every avenue of society," said Kathy Watt, executive director of Van Ness Recovery House in Hollywood. "Crystal meth is a drug that takes people down really, really fast."
December 19th, 2010
6:40 pm
Well of course the majority of HIV results from heterosexual transmission, because, of course, the vast majority of sexual activity worldwide is heterosexual. Although, just as with homosexuality, the vast majority of heterosexual HIV transmission results from sinful sexual (drug, etc.) behavior. The HIV rate among married monogamous heterosexuals is virtually non-existent. Also, even though the majority of HIV transmission occurs through heterosexual activity, proportionally the rate of HIV is MUCH higher among homosexuals.
December 19th, 2010
6:42 pm
TGT, try this from the CDC:
Regression analyses determined that recent meth users were more likely than men who had never used meth to be sexually active with a female partner, have multiple female partners, have a casual or anonymous female partner, have anal intercourse with a casual or anonymous female partner, have a female partner who injected drugs, or have ever received money or drugs for sex from a male or female partner (Table 2). Recent meth use was not associated with reported condom use during the preceding 6 months, but this might reflect overall infrequent condom use among the 968 men in the study population, who had a median of 48 reported acts of vaginal intercourse and a median of five uses of condoms during vaginal intercourse. Recent meth users were no more likely to have been tested for HIV or chlamydial infection than were men who had never used meth. Among historical meth users, sexual activity with higher HIV-transmission risk (i.e., anal sex) was identified primarily among those with main female sex partners only. Both recent and historical meth users were more likely to report they had ever been forced into sex by a male or female than men who had never used meth. After adjustment for demographic characteristics, recent and historical meth use was associated with recent use of one or more other illicit drugs,* use of club drugs,† and specific use of marijuana, ecstasy, hallucinogens (e.g., LSD), crack cocaine, and cocaine
December 19th, 2010
6:51 pm
"The HIV rate among married monogamous heterosexuals is virtually non-existent."
This fact brought to you courtesy of TGT's butt. Fresh from where he pulled it.

Common, you know if I don't iron the shirts while the starch is fresh they're not to your liking.
Seeing as how TGT is so fascinated by buttsecks, I'm not surprised that's where he gets "facts" from that region. His mind certainly spends a lot of time there.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (February 9, 2012) – Rutgers women's basketball senior point guard Khadijah Rushdan (Wilmington, Del.) has been added to the State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List, as announced today by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, on behalf of the Wade Trophy Coalition. Rushdan is one of eight players to join the preseason list of 25 Wade hopefuls.
State Farm and the Wade Trophy Coalition present The State Farm Wade Trophy to the nation's most outstanding NCAA® Division I women's basketball player each year – one who not only excels athletically but also serves as a positive role model both on and off the court. The acclaimed Wade Watch list, from which The State Farm Wade Trophy recipient is chosen, consists of players selected on the basis of game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team, and overall playing ability.
The State Farm Wade Watch list will be trimmed to 12 finalists in mid-March. State Farm and the Wade Trophy Coalition will officially announce the State Farm Wade Trophy winner during the WBCA National Convention, held in conjunction with the NCAA® Women's Final Four® in Denver.
Rushdan, who has missed the last two games due to injury, is averaging 12.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season. She has tallied 14 double-digit scoring games in her senior campaign, including a pair of 20-point scoring efforts. The Wilmington, Del., native's season-high 24 points against DePaul included RU's last 11 points and the game-winning basket with 1.5 seconds remaining on the clock.
The senior became the 30th player in Rutgers women's basketball history to reach the 1,000 point plateau earlier this season, in addition to becoming just the second player in program history to accumulate 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists.

LAST CHAPTER2 Reviews
Its the last chapter!(naaah!)
"I thought I would try to be half - decent, but if your not going to bother then I wont" He said. Frank looked down at himself.
"What? I'm not naked" He said. Gerard laughed and sat down on his bed. He put his arms round Franks waist and smiled at him.
"I've always liked you Frank." He said. Frank smiled.
"I've always liked you" He replied. He leaned forward and kissed Gerard, who kissed him back. They fell back into the pillows, wrapped up in eachothers arms...
Frank lay next to Gerard, the skin of his bare back touching Gerards chest. He laced his fingers through Gerards. Gerard gave a small mumble in his sleep but didn't wake up. Frank smiled, well, he had killed two vampire freaks, and succesfully gained the most gorgous boyfriend anyone could ask for - not bad. Frank lay his head closer to Gerards, before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Mean while, some where in a forest, a pale hand shot up through the dirt, and began scraping at the soil, and if you could see who's hand it was you would notice this person was angry...very angry, and swearing revenge.
Yeah, I don't actually know if anyones been reading this. Its a really crap story compared to what I can usually do but I just got bored of it, so I'm finishing it. But if anyone actually did read this then I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading!! xxx

So this is one of the two verses which are used in the beginning of Caitanya-caritamrta by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami to introduce us to Advaita Acarya. The chapter then goes on to explain how Advaita Acarya is the second branch of the tree of Caitanya Mahaprabhu - the first branch of course being Lord Nityananda and the main trunk being Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.

July 3rd, 2009
And so I am back home after almost 3 weeks in glorious sunny welcoming pick-pocket-happy Spain. As always, traveling is informative, and, in the best experiences, it is transformative. One is never quite the same after immersion in someone else's culture. Working at a university and talking to European graduate students reminded me of how much we have in common. Differences aside, the graduate student experience is universal in its challenges, frustrations, and rewards. I think they smoke more over there, though. Unlike France or England, Spain hasn't entered the cigarette police state yet. Restaurants and bars don't have smoking or non smoking areas. You can smoke where you like. It's disconcerting to see so many (young) people smoking all over the beautifully landscaped university campus, interfering with all the vivid splashes of bougainvillea. But that's just a stuffy North American talking. Never mind.
Graduate students everywhere need enough money to live on, encouragement in their projects, good supervisors, and a clear sense of direction. I can't help but wonder if they all possess that strange combination of alienation and independence that comes with the grad student role. I can still conjure that feeling without any difficulty. My Spain-based students in Logroño gave off a strong whiff of that steady state feeling. I suppose that's why so many grad students smoke. There's that subject again. This blog can't seem to get away from it.
Neither can Chinese students –living in China–who apparently smoke way more than they should. A number of stop smoking groups have sprung up in Chinese graduate student communities where some members are inhaling well over three packs a day. That amount probably cuts down on your appetite and prevents obesity but unfortunately doesn't give you a lot of time in the day for research. Indeed, if you calculate ten minutes per cigarette that means a three-pack a day habit will distract you for ten hours a day. After sleeping and watching a little television that really cuts into the potential for thesis writing. And if it is true, as some scientists claim, that every smoked cigarette cuts your life by eleven minutes, then that three-pack-a-day habit is doing more than stunting growth. Why start a graduate degree at all if it interferes with your smoking? Every time I see graduate student nervously smoking I see a longer time to completion.
Web sites offering graduate students some tips for how best to interview for a job on the phone warn against eating, chewing gum, chewing on your pen, or smoking during the interview. As one site warns: "even those slight noises can come across on the phone.†You wouldn't want to signal to your prospective employer that you have an oral fixation, now would you?
The solution to all this might be to provide a safer, less odious way to deal with the fixation. Perhaps graduate students everywhere ought to be provided with a lollipop or Tootsie Roll ration, even a stash of beef jerky, along with their fellowship support. That way we would be at once acknowledging the addictive-producing nature of graduate student life and trying to ease it responsibly.
When I was in Spain and saw so many students smoking so openly I thought, that's it, we –universities– are enablers. And if we relaxed the demands of graduate study then, well, we would have to call it something else, like a hobby or pastime. You can see the dilemma.

Strange Interview Behavior
People sometimes do crazy things in a job interview.
The only lesson here… PLEASE don't do any of the things listed below in an internship or job interview.
Based on a recent survey of Human Resources professionals, here are some of the odd things job candidates did in their interviews:
1. "… said he was so well-qualified that if he didn't get the job, it would prove that the company's management was incompetent."
2. "… stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application."
3. "… brought her large dog to the interview."
4. "… chewed bubble gum and constantly blew bubbles."
5. "Candidate kept giggling through serious interview."
6. "She wore headphones and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time."
7. "Balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece."
8. "Applicant challenged interviewer to arm wrestle."
9. "… asked to see interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate."
10. "… announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer's office."
11. "Without saying a word, candidate stood up and walked out during the middle of the interview."
12. "Man wore jogging suit to interview for position as financial vice president."
13. "Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm."

It seems there's nothing Robert H. Hirst doesn't know about humorist Mark Twain, a.k.a. "the father of American literature."
A bold statement, but true. Hirst is among the world's pre-eminent Twain scholars. As such, he is the editor-in-charge and curator of the Mark Twain Papers and Mark Twain Project at the University of California, Berkeley.
It was Hirst who led his team of editors in sorting through and annotating Twain's 5,000-page manuscript that is the basis of last year's best-selling "The Autobiography of Mark Twain: Volume 1" (University of California Press, $34.95, 736 pages).
"We're finishing the second of the three volumes of the autobiography now," Hirst said by phone from his office at the campus' Bancroft Library. "It may be in print by next fall."
Hirst had just returned from a conference of Twain scholars held in Hannibal, Mo., the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, who was born in 1835 and died in 1910. "You can imagine what that was like," he said. Not really.
Maybe like a convention of nuclear physicists, only with a storyline?
Hirst said something startling about "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876), a point that likely eludes most readers.
"Twain said the book doesn't have a plot, and he was right," Hirst said. "It's more a string of events told in almost a random way this happens, then that happens. It doesn't anticipate and Tom doesn't grow up."
Does that mean "Tom Sawyer" really isn't a novel?
"Twain called himself a 'jack-legged novelist,' meaning an amateur one," Hirst said. "His specialty was the short form; he knew he didn't have the instinct for the long tale that is a novel. 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1884) is the thing that comes closest.
"My saying is that 'Tom Sawyer' is a game of checkers and 'Huck Finn' is a game of chess. The storyline is continuous, from the end of 'Tom' to the beginning of 'Huck.' They're almost one book, except the two halves are very different. 'Huck' is so much more serious."
Talent and good fortune
Twain's own life reads like a rollicking tale of good fortune and perseverance fueled by a unique talent. It was all that, but it also was marked by financial struggle (bad business decisions) and family tragedies and dark moods, particularly in the later years.
Clemens was a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River until 1861, the start of the Civil War. He came west with his older brother, Orion, who had been appointed secretary of the Nevada Territory.
"Clemens worked for Orion in Carson City, then got bitten by the silver bug," Hirst said. "He went off to strike it rich but ran out of money for supplies after 18 months. So he had to take a job."
Clemens had been sending "letters" wry and insightful essays from the mining fields to a number of newspapers, including the Virginia City Enterprise. That progressive paper offered him a job and "permitted him to do anything he wanted," Hirst said. "So one of his first columns was a hoax about the discovery of a 'petrified man.' Very soon after that he started writing essentially fiction, something you can't call newspaper reporting.
"Then he started writing letters from Carson City and in 1863 adopted the Mark Twain pseudonym."
Twain's next stop was San Francisco, where he wrote for the Call newspaper and two literary magazines, the Californian and the Golden Era.
"He didn't do enough writing to make a living, so he sold some of his mining stock and lived off the proceeds," Hirst said. "He'd never planned on making a career out of writing. You couldn't have a literary career as a humorist. 'Literature of a low order,' as he called it. Throughout his life, humorists certainly were not taken as serious literary people."
Soon, Twain talked the Enterprise into letting him write a daily 2,000-word column from San Francisco.
"All the major papers in San Francisco ran those columns, as well as the smaller papers all over California and Nevada," Hirst said. "They were some of the best things he ever wrote, but we don't have more than 20 percent of them because (so many files) were destroyed."
By 1866, Hirst said, the San Francisco police were giving Twain "a hard time because he was criticizing them in print. That's what led him to leave town. He contracted to write letters to the Sacramento Union from the Sandwich Islands. He was supposed to be there for just a few weeks, but he loved it and stayed five months."
Twain returned to San Francisco and joined the literary lecture circuit "because he thought he could earn some extra money. He'd never spoken in public before, but he turned out to be enormously charming and funny, and was a great success."
The Alta California newspaper gave him "an appointment" to travel wherever he wished and write letters back.
"That's when he left California in December 1866," Hirst said. "He went to New York with his scrapbook of articles and got 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches' published in 1867. It didn't sell well and he was very disappointed."
As a lecturer and speaker, Twain traveled the United States and the world in an era when getting from town to town was an arduous task.
"It was enormously backbreaking," Hirst said. "He talked about swearing off lecturing, but he never really stopped. He loved working with an audience and was very skilled at it, even though it was experimental in those years and not everyone approved of it."
Tom and Huck
Back to "Tom Sawyer" for a moment, please. First, there has been some debate over Tom's age. "Evidence suggests he was between 12 and 14," Hirst said.
Though Twain wrote that "Tom" was "mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls," it crossed over to become a classic for all ages. Why is that?
"While he was writing it, he went back and forth over whether it was for adults or children," Hirst said. "It turned out to be for both. You get the satire that adults can understand, told in a very sophisticated voice, yet it's a wish-fulfillment fantasy for kids, too.
"Tom and Huck find buried treasure and get to attend their own funerals and hear how sorry people are that they died. They get to be pirates on Jackson's Island and swim in the Mississippi. Twain had excellent instinct for what it was that was fun for boys."
On the other hand, "Tom" contains some shocking scenes and themes: murder, death by starvation, alcoholism, depravity, violence, theft, deceit, revenge.
"It was quite unusual that Twain managed to sneak that kind of stuff into a story supposed to be read by kids," Hirst said. "Apparently, readers didn't think these things were out of bounds, likely because they were used to the (brutal) gothic novels (coming out of England)."
Twain had high expectation when "Tom Sawyer" was published, but it "didn't do nearly as well as he had hoped. That's because the Canadian publishers figured out they could manufacture his books in Canada and import them into the U.S. and sell them at way under the price Twain's publisher was selling them.
"The copyright problem was something Twain wrestled with throughout his career. Nobody knew what the rules were. There was no international copyright law until 1891."
Here it is, 135 years after the rambunctious Tom Sawyer came into the world. Why has his story endured?
"I don't know the real answer to that," Hirst said. "Part of the answer lies with schools throughout the country. After all, it's the most frequently assigned American literary text. Maybe that's to prepare young readers for 'Huck Finn.' "
The Sacramento Public Library invites everyone to join the community's biggest book club The Big Read/ One Book Sacramento 2011, from Thursday through Oct. 31.
The whole community is asked to read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain and participate in the special programs at the library's 28 locations. They range from book discussions and music to family-friendly film viewings and storytelling.
"This book is much more than the exploits of a young boy in a small Mississippi River town," said library director Rivkah Sass. "The classic story is about integrity, the value of a human being, and how our choices especially as young people make long-term differences in our lives."

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Now that Destination Medical Center has been set into motion, people have started to dream big dreams for our community.
All this week we've been talking to visionaries in our community on topics of architecture, to businesses downtown, to changes in medicine in the next twenty years.
What about technology?
Samuel Prabhakar had been with IBM for nearly thirty years. Just a few months ago, he created his own business, Elite Custom Solutions, which builds medical devices. For example, Prabhakar's business created a copper magnetic chamber that's used to fine tune coils used in MRI's.
Probakar is creating jobs in this community, and has an exciting vision for Rochester's place in the world of technology.
He says Rochester will continue to be an incubator for new technology in the next five to ten years, and a technology solution provider for the world by year fifteen.
"In fifteen years, Rochester and Olmsted County will be a national resource for technology innovation because of key technologies. And creating a network of companies that will work together seamlessly to provide technologies for various solutions. And this is going to happen right here in Rochester," Prabhakar said.
And that technology goes beyond medicine. Probakar envisions a revolutionary change to how personalized technology will shape your life in the near future...everything from shopping at the mall, to picking out your favorite music. The key word--personalization. To hear more of his creative ideas, check out the complete conversation HERE.
Thursday night at ten, Tom Overlie meets with Mayo Clinic's Medical Director for DMC, and talks about the future of medicine in Rochester, a future that includes a device many of us have, that could change how doctors treat you.

What is wrong with machine guns? Lots of people have them, controls and limits to purchasing machine guns was implemented as a knee jerk reaction to gangsters. The criminals of the day using them, just like the insane using semi auto rifles today. We fell for the machine gun ban we won't fall for a semi auto ban.. Using your logic we should be able to openly own machine guns if we are capable of owning other weapons.

love number 7 but after a horrible experience with unica home i doubt i will every order from them again.
I have the Moma Acrylic Perpetual Calendar on my desk right now $35. I was surprised you left it off the list. It's simple, looks good. Plus we had them customized with our company logo, so it has our studio's logos and web address on them and the red matches our colors.

Birthday Love - SasuHinaDark obscure irises glanced up into the darken ceiling. A pale arm draped over his forehead, his lips partially parted. He felt drained of energy. His heart ached in pain. This day will mark the second birthday he will spend without his family.Two years ago, his family died in a fire. Itachi had been the one who made sure to get him out of the house first. While going back to rescue their parents, it was too late and the house collapsed. Things haven't been the same since that day. Questions had been raised on how the fire had started. But no one knows. There was a rumor that it was arsenal set up by Madara. The man is the leader of the infamous gang, Akatsuki. Though Madara is his uncle, the man had never gotten along with his parents. It was his fault that Itachi's life spiraled out of control when he entered the Akatsuki. When he tried to leave the gang, that's when a shift in Itachi's relationship changed.Not too long after that, the fire happened.Revenge had been the only thing

I would go Sadistic for you, little Masochist" This was getting fun. Well, right up until she kicked me in the face."OW!! What was that for!"

He screamed as he ran around the village. Not the Ramen shop. Not his house. Not the school. Where the hell is Naruto?Sasuke ran to the grass fields where he and his classmates trained. He stopped in his tracks, and walked. Walked slowly on the blood-stained grass. The bodies were too gruesome to look at. He's seen death before. His brother Itachi. Again. Sasuke thought. It's happened again. Like the Uchiha clan. But this one

The Birds and The BeesHe knew this day would happen sooner or later. It was only a matter of time. And what luck does he have when his wife is nowhere to be found. Sasuke Uchiha stared down at his daughter. The line between his lips thinned. His brow twitched in frustrated, as his cheeks slightly turned pink."Well daddy? Where do babies come from?" Five year old Rika asks once more.Sasuke shifted in the wooden chair, setting the scroll he was previous reading on the kitchen table. Turning his body to fully face the young curious girl, he sighs. "Um, when two people love each other" he shook his head. No, that's not a good approach. I should start with something else. He thought. "There is a river." He started.Rika eyes widened curiously. "A river? What type of river?""A special river made only for mommies. And there are millions of tiny little tadpoles that swim up this river." Sasuke explains. His face redder than any tomato, feeling more awkward than the time he accidently cut one loose i
SasuHina - LettersSasuke couldn't help but think that he had bad luck.I mean, just how many times had he tried to get that letter to Hinata.The first time, the day he delivered it, a huge storm hit Konoha and blew away EVERY SINGLE MAIL BOX IN KONOHA! That included the one with his letter in it.The second time, it just so happened that when the delivery ninja picked up his letter, he was randomly attacked because of a previous mix-up of letters involving an affair and a letter delivered to a wife, and broke his leg, not to mention that Sasuke's letter was completely destroyed.There were also countless acts of unpredictability that happened to handicap his ability to get the letter even as far as the post-box.There was that time with those rogue ninja, that time with that spontaneous fan girl attack, that time with that gay guy, that time with that straight guy who thought he was a girl, and of course numerous accounts involving a certain blonde haired dobe.It had happened so many tim

Sasuke asked "Hinata?" Hinata stutters realizing who it is "Yes. it's m-me" Sasuke feels himself blush a bit. Everyone except her Hinata looks behind her. Sasuke was a bit worried "What's wrong??" Hinata yet again stutters "I-i uh..t-think th-there is someone f-following m-me." Sasuke thinks about it with a frown "Hmmm do you want me to take you home?" Hinata blushes red "uhmm s-sure S-Sasuke-kun" Sasuke and Hinata walk without talking at first. Sasuke looks at her constantly She's very quiet. I like that. Unlike the Others... Hinata notices him watching her. She blushes deeper.

The first live UFC event on Fox Sports 1 isn't until Aug. 17, but the fight card is already starting to come together.
MMAWeekly.com sources revealed that the latest addition to the fight card is a lightweight bout pitting Joe Lauzon against Michael Johnson.
The event is slated for the TD Gardens in Boston, and marks the launch of Fox's new nationwide sports network, FS1.
More MMA
Both fighters have something to prove heading into this fight.
Lauzon (22-8) – a native of Massachusetts – fights on his home turf, but is battling back from a loss to Jim Miller to close out 2012. It was a back-and-forth battle that earned Fight of the Night honors, but in this age of short leashes on losses in the Octagon, no fighter wants to drop back-to-back bouts.
Johnson (12-8), however, is likely teetering on the edge of a much more perilous position than Lauzon.
He is The Ultimate Fighter Season 12 runner-up, but holds a 4-4 record in the Octagon and is coming off of consecutive losses to Myles Jury and Reza Madadi.
The UFC has yet to announce a main event for the Aug. 17 fight card, but it is also expected to include the welterweight return of Thiago Alves, who faces Matt Brown.

Huge opportunity for Johnson, terrible if Lauzon looses. I don't see it happening. I say Lauzon second round submission.
i'd tend to agree. there's also the possibility that mj could survive the early grappling and tire lauzon out for a ud/sd.
Tire Lauzon out? I don't think it'll happen.
joe has looked great the past few years, but we all know he could go for the early sub and run out of gas.
agreed lauzon is to good on the ground and on the feet for johnson i dont see how he can pull it off
How long will these Ronda Rousey videos stay on the sidebar???

You're probably roasting vegetables wrong. (Video)
February 21, 2012 by · 3 Comments
I was – whoops!
sweet, thank you! i usually do a single layer in a glass baking dish. my broccoli always gets kind of dehydrated and brown while carrots are just kinda mushy. i always told myself that that's just how they get…..this way will surely work much better :3 wish i could pin this video!
Mmm, tasty! I loved the presentation and the advice is pretty sound indeed. I try to cut my veggies just as she suggest, which makes me feel almost like a Masterchef!
High fives to you Sonya!

I had a meeting in the morning, and decided to take the afternoon off and go climb Mt. Potosi. There was nothing about this climb that suggested that it would be exceptionally difficult. An easy afternoon, I thought. There are two approaches, one up a long, steep dirt maintenance road, and the other an off trail bushwhack. I chose the bushwhack route. Having done a rough measurement of the route on some topographic map software, it looked to be just under six miles round trip (it turned out to be eight miles). Wrong on every count. The route started off on a very steep slope filled with loose rock, looser dirt and pine needles, and a set of treacherous cliffs off to my left. Those cliffs were to come back and beat me up pretty badly later in the trip. The brush was relentless, and there were few ways around it anywhere, so I began to pick up some hefty scratches on my arms and legs. I finally made the ridge line pictured below. From here I could see the peak off in the distance. What I couldn't see was the excruciating terrain between here and the summit. The brush and loose rock continued and there were three sub peaks on the way to the main one, along with two third class down climbs. I thought the steep bump ahead of me was the summit, and I went all the way to the top only to find that the true summit was still out ahead of me, so I had to descend back down, again over third class rock to the last saddle, and begin the lengthy trek to the real summit. It was getting late, as I'd been barely able to average over a mile an hour (I was expecting to do a two plus mile an hour average).
View from second saddle looking back towards some of the cliff faces I had avoided on the way up.
Finally the summit. Note the long shadows. It was 4:30 p.m.
A quick view of the Red Rock escarpment (Las Vegas is off to the right), then I began scurrying back down the mountain.
Late afternoon smog in the desert.
This is where things started to go bad. At the time this picture was taken, sunset was about ten or fifteen minutes away. My GPS showed the spot where I hit the ridge was still a distance away. It began to get dark, and it got dark rapidly. The problem with missing the point where I hit the ridge was that if I didn't go far enough, I'd hit the series of cliffs on the descent. They'd be tough to do in daylight, and absolutely treacherous in the dark. I started the final descent a bit too early and came to the edge of a precipice. I back tracked a bit and began traversing towards what I hoped would be my track back down (I had the map feature on my GPS turned on). It got too dark to see very far ahead and I stopped for a moment to pull out my recently purchased head lamp. It was worthless. I thrashed my way further down the slope, and finally started digging through my pack looking for my flash light. That helped some, but I still could only see a few feet ahead of me. I hit more cliffs. I was able to down climb them by holding the flashlight in my mouth while I used both hands and feet to climb down. As soon as I got down one, there would be another one. It was very slow going. Finally, I came to what was a 4th class down climb. I began edging my way down, but lost footing and fell about five feet. Fortunately, I landed in pine needles and although I was scraped up and split my lip with the flashlight, I was otherwise uninjured. I continued on, knowing that I still had over a mile left to go, and several hundred feet to descend. I reached out for the GPS that had been attached to my sternum strap, and it was gone. Damn! It must have been knocked loose in the fall. I turned around to go back, but I realized I'd never find it in the dark (did I mention how dark it was? Black.) So I ruefully turned back and headed on down. I'd made it over the worst and finally came out on the road long after eight o'clock. I found my car (it was about a hundred yards from where I came out of the bush). Lesson? Don't ever underestimate a mountain. Even the most benign mountain has teeth. This one chewed me up pretty good.

are factors or exposures in a person's environment that contribute to the development of cancer-promoting genetic mutations. There are many known carcinogens, the most common of which can be categorized into the following groups:
Diet is considered a possible risk factor in a number of types of cancer, particularly colon, breast, endometrial, and gall bladder cancers. A lack of roughage and bulk in the average American diet and high levels of dietary fats, particularly unsaturated fats are thought to be two of the key dietary cancer-causing agents. According to research, limiting fat consumption and calorie intake appears to be one way to decrease cancer risk.
Drinking large amounts of alcohol is another risk factor for several types of cancer, including liver, breast, gastric, and those of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. This risk is heightened even further when combined with tobacco use. For example, in heavy smokers or heavy drinkers, the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus is approximately six times greater than for nonsmokers/nondrinkers. Similarly, oropharyngeal cancer (cancer of the mouth, tongue, and oral cavity) is rare in people who neither smoke nor drink. Smoking or drinking alone will greatly increase the risk of cancer, and both together represent an even higher risk of developing cancer in any of the target organs.
Cigarette smoke contains a variety of chemicals that can cause cancer, both in the respiratory tract and oral cavity, and in other sites such as the kidney, bladder and gastrointestinal tract. Avoiding smoke, either from smoking or secondhand smoke, is one of the best ways to reduce one's personal cancer risk.
are small infectious agents that cannot reproduce on their own. Instead, they enter into living cells and cause them to produce more copies of the virus. Like cells, viruses carry genes, which they may insert into the chromosomes of the infected cell. This manipulation of the infected cell's genetic makeup by the virus can substantially increase its risk of becoming cancerous.
Out of the many viruses we come in contact with every day, only a few have been linked to cancer. Although cancers cannot be spread from person to person, the viruses that cause them can. Women with multiple sexual partners or whose partners have had multiple sexual partners, for example, are at increased risk for cervical cancer. This is because
human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection, may cause this disease. Table 1 lists some common viruses and their associated cancers. In addition, infection with HIV is associated with an increase in a variety of cancers, in part because HIV reduces the body's natural immune defenses against cancer.
Repeated contact with certain
chemical toxins
through lifestyle, workplace, and medical exposures may lead to cancer by directly damaging the DNA in genes. Tobacco, which contains hundreds of cancer-promoting toxins, is the best known chemical carcinogen. While chewing tobacco may lead to cancer of the mouth, smoking tobacco is associated with cancer in many parts of the body. Workplace exposures are a common source for chemical carcinogens. Cancer rates in construction workers, who handle asbestos, for example, are about 10 times higher than in unexposed workers. Table 2 lists some common carcinogenic chemicals you may be exposed to in your workplace.
Although doctors take care to protect their patients from harmful substances, certain medications and therapeutic procedures are known to raise the risk of cancer. Hormone replacement therapy, for example, has recently been shown to slightly increase the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
Ultraviolet radiation
from the sun is a common cause of skin cancer. In fact, basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin are the most common cancers and among the most easily treated and cured. Malignant melanoma, a cancer of the pigmented cells, is a far less common, but much more serious form of skin cancer.
Ground sources of
ionizing radiation
may also cause cancer. For example, survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 have a higher-than-expected incidence of leukemia and several other cancers, as do people exposed to radiation from nuclear reactor leaks. The risk of developing cancer and the type of cancer depends on the dose of radiation as well as the length of exposure. Repeated low-dose exposure over a long period produces different cancers than those encountered after a single high dose such as that found among survivors of Hishima and Nagasaki. Similarly, people exposed to excessive and prolonged radiation from x-rays also have an increased risk of cancer. And, uranium mine workers get lung cancer more commonly than the general population.

Two candles flickered on either side of the altar, and the pews were nearly full. Finally, the time came for the service to begin. One hundred twenty red-robed students streamed to their spots behind the altar onto risers and steps. Vespers had begun.
Vespers, or evening prayer, is a service that has been an annual event at St. Olaf for nearly 40 years. Marked by the presence of candles and a performance by the Chapel Choir, it is a service whose theme varies yearly depending on the readings of the liturgy.
This years service began with a powerful performance of Pilgrims Hymn. Some choirs take a few songs to get acclimated to a concert, but Chapel Choir was not one of them.
Pilgrims Hymn set a pattern for the rest of the service, washing over the congregation with rich tones, delicious vowels and poignant lyrics of devotion. Its final departing chord of Amen pulled out that extra bass presence that sends shivers down the spine.
The service proceeded with Eva Nelson 06 leading as cantor, and a fifth candle was brought out. Shortly thereafter, the choir brought the familiar words of Psalm 23 to new life as it sang a beautiful arrangement of the piece by Jackman.
The repertoire continued from there, particularly impressing the congregation with three diverse and powerful motets. After an energetic beginning to the final motet, Coelos Ascendit, the choir had gained the congregations full attention.
The service drew to a close after a few final anthems, including a lovely and unique rendition of Be Thou a Smooth Way. Once the final Amen had been spoken, all reverence was set aside for a boisterous celebration of the choir, complete with catcalls, whooping and lengthy applause.
More than a solemn evening service of prayer and worship, Vespers was also a service of celebration and appreciation for the talented singers our campus boasts.
Such a successful performance must also be accredited to a talented conductor, Assistant Professor of Music Christopher Aspaas. A friendly and animated leader, Aspaas has a contagious energy about him that contributed to the success of the first concert of Aspaass first year on staff.
Hes an amazing director to work with. At the beginning of the year he made us three promises, Catie Overfelt 08, a first soprano, said. The first promise was that every day we would laugh. The second was that every day wed have a musical moment. And the third was that wed always get out on time. He has stuck to those and has made choir an amazing, happy time out of my day.
This service testifies to the ease with which he has been able to transition into the St. Olaf community. Aspaas hand-selected the beautiful repertoire featured Sunday evening in hopes of matching the texts that dealt with ideas of pilgrimage and travel.
I had all of this imagery about motion, walking, movement, so all of the pieces talked about this movement on a daily basis, offering prayers for travel and thoughts about moving through life to get where were going, he said.
Aspaas has a knack and passion for what he does. He noted that his job is made easier by the quality of the men and women involved in choir, alluding to the well-roundedness of the participating members and their willingness to learn.
Its about playing more than one note on the piano, and St. Olaf kids have definitely mastered that. This choir has a vibrancyweve got student athletes and studio art majors and everyone from across the board coming together to make music, Aspaas said.

Thanksgiving tech support, part 3: Getting an iPhone recognized in Windows by restoring a missing Apple driver.
Thanksgiving tech support, part 3: Getting an iPhone recognized in Windows by restoring a missing Apple driver.
My sister-in-law had an odd situation: her iPhone 4S showed up on the desktop of her Samsung Windows 8 laptop, but iTunes appeared unaware of its existence. I did the same thing most of you would do and Googled the problem, which revealed a helpful Apple tech-support notice (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538). Its first four suggestions--"Update iTunes," "Check the USB cable,"Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed," and "Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service"--had already been tried or didn't pan out, but a fifth suggestion to reinstall an Apple Mobile Device driver worked. I still don't know how that driver file wouldn't have been installed in the first place--nobody should have to mess with device drivers in 2013--but I'm counting this as a win anyway.

"I can't get over how much we love our save the dates! We used the purple templet. It was a perfect match to our wedding colors. We changed the font to a cursive style and used a black and white picture with the antique filter. It all goes together perfectly! I would definitely recommend making the size of the font bigger, I read this in other reviews and the font on the back would have been very hard to read. The paper used is very good quality. Everything about the printing is perfect, there are no flaws. We cannot wait to get them sent out!"
"I wanted to use my own design, so I used the professional print service. I was concerned about what the end result would be, since I used a Pantone metallic gold in my design and I wasn't sure that it would look right. My worries turned out to be for nothing. Even on the thick, matte paper the gold looks metallic and I ended up with precisely what I had in mind. We just sent the invitations out last week & have gotten several compliments on them. I am so happy with my decision to use this service."
"These are so fun, we are really happy with them! We used a color photo on top and a B&W photo on the bottom. Added our wedding website to the text on the left, because a lot of guests will need to travel. It turned out great, we are so excited to send them to our guests. Leave plenty of time for the digital proofing process--we made some changes and are glad we did. WPD was prompt, but it did take some time."
"Our save the dates turned out exactly how I imagined! I had a minor change that my computer wouldn't let me design, so I emailed customer service. They matched my design to my description within 5 minutes. We are very happy with the final product!"
"I ordered this dance invite with a few changes that were easily implemented. The proof was back for review within a few hours and my change was done ASAP. My invited arrived 6 days after ordering, I did use the rush service but was still impressed with how fast they arrived. The quality of the photograph on the front of the invite was excellent and the postcard style last lots of room on the back for details and info. Will definitely be ordering my thank you's from wedding paper divas!!!"
