Anonymous asked: Fuck, your in depth character analysis on ASOIAF makes me appreciate the series even more. I love the way you delve into the details to reveal more about them, especially with Theon because he's such a misunderstood character at face value, so I have to ask: Why do you want Stannis to take the Iron Throne?
Thanks so much, anon! This is an extremely intelligent fandom when at its best and I've seen some of the best meta in my life while striking gold in various characters tags, so I appreciate being considered on a similar tier. ASOIAF really invigorates my imagination in a huge way so it's pretty difficult to get past the initial thrill and fangirling and actually formulate these feelings into concise, well organized thoughts. Convincing others that your perceptions hold more weight in canon rather than just whimsy plays a huge part in adding to the competitive, good spirited joy I see in a lot of these essays.
When weighing the options in The War Of Five Kings (and the burgeoning Queen) you have, as follows: Joffrey Baratheon Lannister (The Realm, the most well equipped army, the innate contender the small folk represent whether begrudgingly or not, highest in wealth thanks to his maternal side of the family), Renly Baratheon (High Garden - second wealthiest, as George R. R. Martin states that the Tyrell's new money aspirations fall only second to the Lannisters), Balon Greyjoy (The Iron Islands, proficient in naval strategies), Robb Stark (the entire North and primary Riverlands backing him), and Stannis, who has Storm's End, one of the more meager numbers in fighting bodies, and a naval that could rival Greyjoy's. You also have Dany, who is gathering independent forces in the Free Cities, far off from the warring of Westeros.
- Joffrey Baratheon - a man child who has no technical right to the throne, he isn't the proper heir to Robert's claim. While he has a powerful presence and rules in the great tradition in keeping your servants in a constant reign of terror, he has little comprehension of battle strategies, peace negotiations, intuitive prowess, and makes detrimental decisions in his own personal body guard services (such as casting out Selmy Barristan from the Kingsgaurd and naming Jaime, who has little interesting in leadership, to the head of it instead). He's all of 13 in A Game of Thrones, not very fit to be a king in the slightest.
- Renly Baratheon - The good natured youngest son of the brothers Baratheon. He captures the imagination and hearts of the people by conjuring up imagery of Robert Baratheon at his most stunning and vital, but adds a softer touch to that beauty with his legitimate concern for the well fare as an individual rather than collective state property. He rules with spectacle and genteel grace, though both of his brothers have far more realism when it comes to the gritty necessities of warfare. It's easy to see that Renly's perfect idealism could begin to rot once actually on the iron throne and having to deal with the day to day bureaucratic essentials of running a kingdom and needing to please all the wrong people for the sake of social politics. While it's easy for Renly to get caught up in the glamor of rising past his older brother's legacies, his nature seems as if it would be better preserved and flourish being Hand of the King or Master of Coin.
- Balon Greyjoy - A very complex house that values Medieval tradition more than anything else. It's exemplified in their house motto; we do not sow […], we take what is ours. Not terribly diplomatic. What I find interesting about the Greyjoys is the nature of their isolationism - being so far off from the tradition of the mainlands, the Iron Islands live by archaic methods and have no realistic grasp of actually conquering Westeros. If anything, Balon seems more concerned with everyone just letting him be King, rather than Lord, of his land. Every rebellion of his in the "modern era" have been easily squashed with the more advanced naval strategies of the Baratheons and Starks. George R. R. Martin seems to foreshadow with every passage that the Greyjoys are essentially on the verge of extinction as every methodology of the Iron Islands has no practical place outside of their own realm. By refusing to adapt, they're stamping themselves out in the same vein as Darwinism would predict. It's also well illustrated with what happened to Balon's male heirs.
- Robb Stark - 14 years old by the time his father is executed, he takes on the weight of the North's expectations for justice on his shoulders and moves forward with his deep grief and burning desire to prove himself a man in his own right. Has a very innate understanding of battle strategies, and in the same vein as Renly, is very concerned with the individual rather than the bulk of them as separate territories to be conquered and ruled. He has little grasp of what he would actually do short of murdering every last Lannister. He admits in more than one way that he has no desire to be King, and is too naive to understand the political implications of not abiding by social contracts to other houses. As Petyr Baelish and Varys is always saying, following what your heart feels is right rather than what your mind knows you should do is always going to be your downfall when playing the game of thrones.
- Stannis Baratheon - As he never has any hesitation in reminding us, the throne is technically his by Right. It is royal law that the succeeding ruler of the king should be the next in line, and as Robert has no true heirs, the middle child of the Baratheons would be next. What separates the very similar Robert and Renly from Stannis is that he, like most middle children, probably received very little special treatment from his parents and peers while as a child. The eldest child is always treated with a certain kind of dignity and expectation, the youngest always babied and humored above all others, and the middle one.. is just expected to follow suit, typically. Rarely is it ever mentioned in the text that Stannis is a handome man - to contrast, Sansa notes that Renly one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen, and even Ned was nearly haunted by the fact that Renly made him feel as if he were 15 years younger and standing in the presence of old Robert. All of these things collectively add to the tone of seriousness that Stannis embodies - he is not a frivolous man. He doesn't rely on his stature or looks to get him anywhere, he simply works above and beyond what's required of him, follows the rules perfectly, and cannot for the life of him understand why anyone could think they were above such a thing. If anything, anyone that breaks the law should be rightfully punished, and those that display heroic marks of valor in the name of justice should be rewarded. He's quite black and white in this way, but Hell, doesn't that make him a far better contendor than the other 4? Stannis has vast experience in warfare with holding down Storm's End with fellow bro Davos Seaworth during Robert's Rebellion, and spending enough time in the Capitol during Robert's reign, knows the political game better than anyone. He's crafty, knows what's just, and I always find myself rooting for him and his cause whenever one of his pivotal arcs come up. You know he's always going to do what you can't help but agree with. I really appreciate his strength in that face of all of his grief - his mother, father, brothers, best friend all dead, he still treks on not letting Cersei rule the kingdom as he knows she does. He's just a really powerful character and is everything Ned could have been if he wasn't such a traumatized isolationist that was too inclined to see the good in every one. I LOVE HIM HE DESERVES THE IRON THRONE HE WORKS SO HARD FOR IT GOD RULES OF SUCCESSION TBH

Wednesday Tunes - Adele "Set Fire to the Rain"

"When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better"
It's a very romantic song - set fire to the rain.

I've never heard that song before, and it's refreshing to hear a new one other than the ones the radio keeps playing incessantly. To me, she is overexposed but very talented. Her voice is magic. I'm curious, is that the real video to the song? If so, I hated it. Had to minimize the window and just listen to her voice. The video was a distraction.

I have never heard that song before and it was nice hearing a new song by her, instead of the songs the radio plays incessantly. Poor Adele is over-exposed, but very talented. I love her voice; it's magic. Unfortunately, that video left a bad taste in my mouth. It was terribly distracting. Is it the original video to her song?

Cricket, I found the vid on You Tube's front page a couple of days ago.
I am sure it's not her original vid. A lot of times the original material cannot be embedded on blogs.

An Oct. 19 ballot proposal to allow Caddo Parish Commissioners to serve five consecutive terms instead of three is being opposed by two prominent organizations.
The Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and the Executive Committee of the Caddo Republican Party are asking voters to reject the change in the parish charter that would allow commissioners to serve five consecutive four-year terms -- a total of 20 years. Those elected to the 12-person commission are now limited to three four-year terms, or 12 years.
"We do not believe that public service, as an elected official, is meant to be a lifetime career,'' the Chamber states in an announcement signed by Murray Viser, board chairman. "We appreciate those who give of themselves in public service and commend those who currently serve yet we believe the current term limits are sufficient."
Caddo Republicans argue that the current term limits adopted in the 1990s "are credited with bringing in new members that instilled a decorum and efficiency, which were previously lacking..." Harold Coates, chairman of the Republican Executive committee, made the announcement at a noon luncheon that featured two Caddo District Court judicial candidates.
Those years were marked by sometimes rancorous meetings, with votes often divided along hard partisan lines. One commissioner brought a charge against another when a coat was tossed over his head. Also, the former parish administrator, hired by the commission, faced charges ranging from forgery to malfeasance. Unlike those days, the commission by grace of the Haynesville Shale natural gas play, has socked away millions in mineral lease bonuses and royalties.
The chamber, as have individual members of the Republican Executive Committee, also is concerned that the proposition is misleading. The proposition says "commissioners shall be limited to five (5) consecutive elected terms," without noting the change from the current three consecutive terms.
"The proposed language is misleading to voters who are not aware that we already have existing term limits and the proposition, if passed, lengthens the amount of time that an elected commissioner might serve," the Chamber states.
Early voting for the Oct. 19 election begins Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Caddo Registrar's office in downtown Shreveport. The turnout, in a year with no presidential or statewide elections, has been projected to be in the single digits.
The Caddo Commission also is asking voters to approve a $23 million property tax to pay for construction projects that range from a jail roof to drainage improvements.

Alta Capital poised to take over Kalev chocolate
Sep 26, 2007
By TBT staff
KEPT AT HOME: Kalev's long-standing CEO, Oliver Kruuda, stressed that Estonia's premier confectionery will still remain under domestic control after he and other shareholders sold to a local investment firm.
TALLINN - Alta Capital Partners, a venture capital firm, announced that it was purchasing several food-producing subsidiaries of AS Kalev, including the regionally famous chocolate and candy producer.
The Estonia-based Alta Capital said in a statement that it was acquiring stakes in Kalev Paide Tootmine, Kalev Johvi Tootmine, Kalev Chocolate Factory, Vilma and Maiasmokk for 880 million kroons (56 million euros).
The Estonian dairies Tere and Meieri Transport are also slated to be taken over as part of the deal, though the value of this transaction is not being disclosed.
The deal, which was finalized on Sept. 20, must be approved by competition authorities.
Kalev is one of Estonia's 's and the Baltics' 's best known brand names and boasts a long line of popular consumer products. For the ambitious Alta Capital, which recently acquired Rigas Piensaimnieks, Latvia's largest milk producer, the acquisition represents a major step in solidifying its position on the Baltic food market.
In the words of Alta Capital CEO Indrek Rahumaa, "This acquisition complements our portfolio in the Baltic Sea region. There have been many wise investments in the companies, starting from production and ending with marketing, and we are only now beginning to see their returns."
He stressed that Alta Capital's philosophy is "to acquire strong companies with competent teams and to grow the value on a long-term basis."
Long-time Kalev owner Oliver Kruuda, who, along with two other major shareholders, is selling his stakes to Alta Capital, praised the deal.
"I am delighted that our team has successfully managed to keep the local food industry in Estonian hands," he said in a statement. "The new Estonian owners are determined to further develop our respected food industries, relying on our previous experience and ideas."
Kruuda will remain on board the companies' supervisory teams for at least three years. He said AS Kalev in the near future would focus on the mass media, an industry regarded as highly lucrative. "Attentive readers have probably already seen the first developments in the media market and will notice even more of them in the nearer future," Kruuda said.
Rigas Piensaimnieks CEO also welcomed the deal. "The purchase of leading food producing firms… is a very good step for us as part of the Alta Capital Partners structure," Indrek Rahumaa told the Bizness & Baltija daily. "Our Karums curd snacks and Dzintars cheese spreads are already strong sellers in Estonia, and now with this deal they'll sell even better."
According to its press release, Alta Capital is acquiring 100 percent of Kalev Paide Tootmine, Kalev Chocolate Factory and Vilma, 99.1 percent of Kalev Johvi Tootmine, and 81.26 percent of Maiasmokk. Kalev Paide Tootmine owns 65.6 percent of Valmetek Invest.
Alta Capital has reportedly said that it does not rule out a public listing for one of the subsidiary companies.
Alta Capital operates in the Baltics, Eastern and Western Europe and CIS countries, focusing on long-term investments in well-known and strong companies. The fund's total assets are worth more than 380 million euros.
Some of its other brand-name assets include Latvia's Lauma lingerie-maker and the Silvano Fashion Group, which is listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange.
Watchdog approves Riga dairy acquisition
The Latvian Competition Council green-lighted on Sept. 24 Alta Capital Partners' indirect acquisition of a controlling stake in Rigas Piensaimnieks by purchasing 100 percent of European Facilities Limited.
The watchdog authorized the deal as the companies involved are operating in different markets, which means that the takeover would not affect competition. "The Competition Council concludes therefore that the merged will not lead to or strengthen a dominant position or reduce competition in the given markets," a council statement said.
Alta Capital Partners announced the indirect purchase of an 80 percent stake in Rigas Piensaimnieks in May this year.
According to the information on the Latvian business register database, 80.07 percent of Rigas Piensaimnieks shares belonged to British Virgin Islands registered company European Facilities Limited, and the owner of the remaining 19.93 percent of the shares was Cayman Islands registered DCEMF Holdings.

Lifting both title and premise from a Wilco song, this meandering US indie follows a pair of estranged brothers who are spending the day driving round LA County in a beaten-up BMW.
Driver Michael (Adam Scott) is an emotionally guarded novelist, while younger sibling Toby (Joel Bissonnette) is a recovering addict.
Via a string of encounters with various oddballs, Canadian writer/ director Matt Bissonnette reveals how the leads' deadpan banter hides some painfully unresolved feelings.
There's nothing earth-shattering here, but the acting's credible and the wrap-up unexpected.

Your Brilliant Baby in Week 32: The Onset of Wariness
What your infant learns this week
Week 32 Brain Booster
Now you know why your child is so wary or even fearful when you leave him with a new person in a new place—that shiny new daycare, for example. With this in mind, realize that when you do leave your child, it will take a few visits to the new place with the new person before your child will remember him or her as attentive and the place as safe. Without you, Baby must establish new attachments and a new sense of security.
Also realize that some children warm up quickly; others take longer. Be patient and comforting as you present your child with new people and conditions.

Hi, we're the DeLeon family, and we need help getting our non-profit organization fully operational. We own and operate the soon-to-come donate-lessfortunate.com. Our organization seeks to relieve poverty in America by focusing on "one family at a time". Through our specialized fundraising techniques, we connect impoverished families to charitable people just like you. Through this one on one approach, the family in need is offered a helping hand by the donor in more personal way. We maintain that this sort of financial mentorship has far greater chances of helping the family rise above poverty, and retain financial independence, than umbrella solutions often sanctioned by the government.
We would like to raise the above amounts to become fully operational and touch more lives. Your donations will be used on community outreach programs to get people informed on what we're trying to do, as well as a fully functional website, and to procure a tax attorney so that we may properly file for 501(c)3 non-profit status as mandated by the IRS. We appreciate your support and God Bless!!
**our site is parked at donate-lessfortunate.com (although currently still under maintenance) but you can visit our facebook page at:

Though he came to stardom as a musical comedy performer, he showed versatility and successfully transformed into a hardbitten leading man starring in projects of a more dramatic nature.

Here's the full release from IU media relations: Indiana University men's basketball coach Tom Crean has announced that guard Maurice Creek will graduate next week and will not play for the Hoosiers next season.

"With his graduation coming up next week, Maurice and his family have decided to pursue an opportunity where he can find the type of role that would provide him the minutes he desires and is accustomed to," said Crean.

Is the Ipod holder all that impressive to you? Not to me for this reason only:
It still has to use a Tape adapter???? Why couldn't a line-in be made available directly to the stereo. To me, the cassette adapter creates some clutter that is definitely not Apple-like…
Posted by Jason on July 18, 2003 at 10:39 AM (CDT)
This has got to be one of the dumbest marketing campaigns ever. You're basically paying extra money for a cassette adapter. To me, the Itrip is a much better accessory, and takes out the hassle of buying a new car in order play your ipod through your car stereo. Would it really have been that hard to make a stereo that integrates the ipods functions? I mean, if Mac and VW are working together, why not make it so that you can load your ipod in a dock, and control it through the cars stereo. THEN it might be worth it to pay 20 grand for an ipod accessory…...YEAH!

what a step backwards ... my 1994 Golf had a "direct input" in fact that was one of the reasons I bought the car! I used to play my DiscMan all the time with a direct connection, it sounded fabulous ... so why have car manufacturers NOT been on the ball with even providing MP3 enabled CD-players (at least a couple year old technology by now) and NO direct input? Arghhhhhhhhh!!!
Posted by asdfadsf on July 19, 2003 at 8:18 PM (CDT)
To Evan:
The cradle is designed for the cupholder in the beetle (which might be the same as the Jetta cupholder - I don't know). The cup part snaps right in to the cupholder and the cradle is on a sort of swiveling post thing lifting up from the center (Highly technical talk, I know). Basically, the ipod is suspended directly above the cupholder, and the cradle is designed for the new iPods, with a cutout in the bottom for a power supply.
I got my beetle last Tuesday, and the ipod & accessories arrived via UPS ground yesterday; I was impressed with how fast it arrived even though I had not known of the deal when I bought the car.
Posted by Chris on July 23, 2003 at 8:23 AM (CDT)
Horrible. HORRIBLE!
What the hell was that?
Shitty Plastic Cupholder cradle - aeound two bucks
Cassete adapter - around 5 bucks at wal*mart
Stupid lighter plug-in jack… thing - 15 bucks
sticker - pennies
The VW Beetle is really… ugly. It always has been, always will be. The thing screams dumbass from a mile away.

Very simple QFT questions
View Single Post
Hans de Vries
Jul10-07, 01:43 PM
Sci Advisor
Quote by
It seems to be well-established that a wave function of a localized particle spreads out faster than the speed of light.
No such superluminal propagation of the wave function shows up neither
with a concise analytical treatment giving exact solutions in configuration
space, nor with extensive numerical simulations. See my old post above.
The simplest way to convince oneself may be this series development
of the Klein Gordon propagator:
[tex]\frac{1}{p^2-m^2}\ =\ \frac{1}{p^2}+\frac{m^2}{p^4}+\frac{m^4}{p^6}+\frac{m^6}{p^8}+.....[/tex]
Which becomes the following operator in configuration space:
[tex]\Box^{-1}\ \ -\ \ m^2\Box^{-2}\ \ +\ \
m^4\Box^{-3}\ \ -\ \ m^6\Box^{-4}\ \ +\ \ .... [/tex]
Where [tex]\Box^{-1}[/tex] is the inverse d'Alembertian, which spreads the wave function
out on the lightcone as if it was a massless field. The second term then
retransmits it, opposing the original effect, again purely on the light cone.
The third term is the second retransmission, et-cetera, ad-infinitum.
All propagators in this series are on the lightcone. The wave function does
spread within the light cone because of the retransmission, but it does
never spread outside the light cone, with superluminal speed.
Regards, Hans.

Getting To Know Each Other
"OH MY GOD!! I'm so sorry! She's sorry too!! OH GOD!" That was all I could manage to say before I slammed the door
We just stood there, still shocked as hell, realizing we were still lost. I just looked at Stephanie and her mouth was wide opened xD and I laughed at it.
"Silvana, I think you should ask them" she said
"What?!?! Why me?!"
"Because I said so"
"Tell me a reason why"
"Well duh, because I'm the older one, that's why" she said with a smirk on her face.
"okay we're not sisters for you to come up with that shit! And you fucking know I won't do it… You go ask them!"
"No, screw this! We settle this the old fashioned way" she said already annoyed
So yeah… Stephanie and I started playing rock-paper-scissors. Guess who lost
"Silvana… always with the scissors" She said with an evil grin
"Dude! Please!!"
"No! I won! It's all fair!!"
"I know… please! I'll do it! … Just… help me!" I begged her and she thought about it for like 5 seconds
"Okay! Just cause I'm a kickass friend!¨ she said smiling "But you owe me a big, big one dude!" She said
"Oh my God! Thank you so much! You know I love you right?!"
"yeah, yeah… you love me, now let's go dude I wanna go home"
"Alright! Okay, but you'll help me!" I said and she nodded and we made our way to the door.
"All right, open it" she said
"¬¬U you open it"
"…wuss ¬¬" Stephanie said and she knocked the door and slowly opened it
Frank's POV
"Hey man, that show was awesome! I mean… wooow…" I said as I lit a cigarette
"Fuck yeah! I know, the kids were totally crazy, it was unbelievable" Gee said really excited as he drank from his beer
"So anyways, what are we gonna do this next week?" Ray asked
"Mhm… there are some theme parks here, and clubs, so we can have some fun =D" Mikey said
"Yeah! A week off! We have to make it worth it!" Bob said
"So when are we leaving this place?" Mikey asked
"Mhm… I don't know… I guess 'till the staff takes off…" Ray started but couldn't finish because the door opening caught our attention.
There were 2 girls. I saw their eyes grow in a state of shock and radiance, when suddenly a small smile appeared on my face. We just stayed in silence. Both of them were really pretty and seemed really cool, but one of them… she was really gorgeous, her skin was white as snow, her hair was brown and long, it was pretty wavy and was up in a ponytail, also she had bangs that landed just above her left eye, she has a great body, of that I'm sure, not fat, but neither skinny, her lips looked really delicate and red…but what caught my attention were her eyes, hazel… like mine… but they were way more beautiful.
Whoa, 'She's beautiful' I thought to myself looking away 'No! This is wrong I cant be falling for a girl I don't even know!' I looked up to find her, she noticed I was looking at her so she smiled. I just stood there with my mouth wide open, staring like I've never seen anything in my life.
"OH MY GOD!! I'm so sorry! She's sorry too!! OH GOD!" The other girl said before pushing her out and slamming the door
We all shot glances at each other, confused looks everywhere and a few seconds later the door opened again, and the two girls appeared.
Gerard's POV
"Mhm… sorry to bother you again guys, but…" the girl with light brown hair said
"We're kind of lost and we don't know where to go…" the other girl said,
"Or even where we are and we were wondering…" the first one said.
"If you could help us and tell us which way to go" the other one finished.
We just stayed there, looking at them with the 'woow' look and suddenly all of us started laughing at what they had done.
"Oh my freaking god! That was hilarious!" I heard Mikey said between laughs
"Yeah…" They said ashamed "sorry, we tent to do that when we're nervous…" one of the girls said and we laughed again and fall of said don't worry in unison
"Why don't you come in?" Frank said throwing his cigarette away, and they did
"mkay… thank you" both of them said, they were speechless, then they closed the door and they just stood there.
"Oh! C'mon! We're not gonna eat you! Have a sit!" Frank said making enough space for both of them between me and him.
"So girls, as you may already know, I'm Ray" he said" This is Mikey, Bob, Gerard and this dwarf here, is Frank" He finished and the we heard three different hey's
"What?!" All of us turned to the ones who said 'hey', including Frank
"Okay, there was no need for that! I know I'm short! Okay!" Frank said/yelled.
"Yeah! And we are shorter than him! Don't call him a dwarf! If he's a dwarf what are we? Two ants?!" The dark brown haired said, and all of us including the girls laughed harder this time "Anyways… I am Stephanie and this is my best friend Silvana" she said 'so that's her name, Silvana, its cute' I thought to myself, I turned to Frank and I could tell he was thinking the same thing xD
"wow… those are really pretty names Steph and Silvana" Frank said… yep, he was thinking the same damn thing, and when Frank said that they just smiled at it and said 'thank you'
"So, what are you guys doing out here?" Bob asked tiredly.
"Ummm... well… we already said we were lost…" Silvana said
"haha yeah sorry, but how come?
"Oh well, we didn't want to deal with the whole crowd so we stayed there waiting, but we did not realize we had been there for almost an hour" Silvana said
"And when we did, we found out we were alone and decided to find a way out" Stephanie finished
"yeah, thanks to you"
"What? Me? Do I ever get us lost?" Silvana asked
"Well, there was this one time when we were in the downtown and took the wrong bus and we ended up n some road… oh no wait…that was me" Stephanie finished. Silvana laughed and so did we, she slightly pounched her in the arm "But there was tons of other times were you got us lost!"
"Hehe…that's funny xD" I said. 'She's perfect for Frank. She obviously gets amused just as easily as Frank does. Nice' I thought.
"I have an idea, we're gonna leave in a while, we can give you a lift home… what do you say?" Frank added looking at Stephanie amazed.
"Oh my god! Really?!" Silvana said excited and we all nodded "Thank you!" the girls said on unison
Time passed by and we kept talking and I found out that Silvana and I had tons of things in common and to be honest I was hoping that, I really liked her…mhm… 'The next time I see her I'm gonna ask her out ^^ yep… I'll do that' I thought, I also found out that Stephanie is really stupid… in a good way, she's hyper and silly and always saying the most stupid things and jokes and… 'oh god… she's like Frank… hell no!! Please! No two Frank's!'
All of us got along pretty well; especially Frank and Stephanie. I can tell that Frank liked Stephanie… but it will be so fucking hard for him to admit it.
We talked about everything, music, movies, about our band, their favorite bands and songs; and I found out that Stephanie is a really music lover and both of them have pretty good taste is music, each one in their very own way.
"So Steph…" I said and she turned around to face me "you know… I was thinking… if you love music that much… you don't have a band?" I asked
"Hahaha yeah actually, we do xD but it's the garage kind of band xD" Silvana said and all of us laughed
"So what do you play?" Ray asked
"Well, Silvana is the lead vocal and I am background vocals and rhythm guitar… and our other 3 friends play the other stuff" She said and I turned around to see Frank once again and I saw him with a huge smile in his face… he liked her… mhm… nah… Maybe he was happy she played the same thing as him…
Stephanie's POV
"Awesome!!" Mikey said
"And you write your own songs or just covers?" Ray asked
"Oh no… no covers… we play our own songs… Stephanie is the one who writes them" Silvana said and then I heard 4 different uuuuuuuuuh's
"And what they are about?" Bob asked me
"Well… I don't know… it depends of how I feel you know…" I said
"Wooooooooow" all of them said in unison
"You know… it will be fucking awesome if we could see you play sometime" Gerard said
"Yeah right… sure…" Silvana said in a sarcastic tone.
All of sudden I had to piss really badly, after all, I had had about 6 red bulls, I needed a bathroom quick!
"hey guys, would one of you five mind showing me where the bathroom is? I had like 6 red bulls" I said while jumping off the couch
"mhm… well there's always the trees" Gerard said laughing
"yeah right, but I don't think so!" I said about to burst
"I'll show you, follow me" Frank said
"Thanks" I said and smiled
It seemed like the longest walk of my life. Frank was walking silently. Then he asked something I didn't expected.
"Hey Steph, who in the band you find the best looking?" He asked joking and I could feel my cheeks getting more and more red.
"haha come on you can tell me, your secret is safe with me" he reassured me
"Umm" I hesitated
"C'mon just tell me" he said anxiously
We were at the bathrooms and I turned and looked at him with his long hair and his piercings catching light.
"Mhm… ha-ha all of you are good looking ^^" I said
"Oh" he said confused, like disappointed
"Hold on I will be right out wait here ok?
"Yep sure" he said and walked over to the vending machine filled with waters. "Want one?" He asked
"Sure" I said practically ran in the bathroom.
I walked in and when I was done I didn't go right out. I had just realized that we were hanging out with the MCR guys, I sucked it up and went out to where he was there waiting with the water.
"Here!" Frank said and handed me the water and we started walking back with the guys
"Nice tattoo by the way" he said looking at the star n my right wrist
"Thanks, you too"
"I have a star too on my left forearm, here" he said showing it to me and I just smiled
"So, do you have more or just that one?" He asked randomly
"hahaha yep, not as much as you thought" I said
"hahaha yeah…:P I have a few xD… anyways… what are they?
"Oh! Mhm... They are just random quotes, you know? There is this one 'Im gonna make it on my own', the star you already saw and a couple more
"Awesome!" He said "And where are the other tattoos?" He asked looking for them
"haha… you will never know… haha nah joking … Here is the 'Im gonna make it on my own' tattoo" I said pointing the right wrist "I have a few more on my wrists, and yeah you'll find out where the other ones are later :)" I said
"wooow… I like this one, I really like it" he said "really, its like… really deep… woow I like it ^^"
"haha thanks…" I said blushing and that's when we entered the room
Silvana's POV
After Stephanie and Frank arrived we started talking and blah blah blah, so yeah, it was almost midnight and it was time to leave, so the guys gave us a ride home.
We kept talking 'til we got home, and the guys… well just Frank, Mikey and Gerard walked us to the front door.
"So girls, we're gonna have two weeks off, starting tomorrow and we're gonna spend them here, in Anaheim…" Gerard said
"And we were wondering if you would wanna hang out with us…" Frank said
"Yeah, and you know, you can show us the city and what not, have fun" Mikey finished
Steph and I just started laughing
"Oh my god! xD hahahaha and you all laughed at us for finishing each other sentences" Stephanie and I laughed
"Yeah… laugh all you want…" Mikey said
"So, what do you say?" Frank said looking at Stephanie
"Hahaha… yeah why not… we'll show you around ^^" She said
"Okay, then let me get your number and I'll give you mine" Gerard said
He handed me a piece of paper with their phones and their hotel room phone, then I handed him another piece of paper with our phones.
"Okay here, that's my cell phone and Bella's phone" I said
"Bella's?" They all asked confused
"Who's Bella?" Frank asked and Steph and I couldn't even answer cause we were choking on laughter, when we had finally calmed down Stephanie answered.
"Me!! Duh!" she said still laughing…
"Yeah, My name is Bella Stephanie"
"Ooooooh!" They all said
"I knew it all the time… I was…just checking…" Frank said ashamed
"Yeah right… whatever you say xD" I told him and then Ray and Bob started honking the horn.
"Okay!!" Gerard yelled annoyed "We have to go, we'll call you tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Mikey and Frank said
"Bye Bella" Gerard said kissing her cheek
"yeah… its Steph, not Bella" She said glaring at him
"Alright Bella" he smirk
"Stephanie" she insisted
"Ha-ha, okay Steph. Bye Silvana" he said and kissed my cheek and Mikey and Frank did the same
"Bye!" They yelled when they were already up on the van.
"Bye bye!" We said while we got inside the house.
"Goodnight Bella!" Frank grinned and headed to the car.
"Goodnight Frank" she said and grinned to herself
We just stayed in the TV room talking about what had just happened and another hour passed by and we were pretty tired, so we decided it was time to go sleep. And in less than 15 minutes later we were already in our own bedrooms, sleeping with smiles on our faces.

25 Gift Ideas That Give to Animals, Too
Just because we've already seen taxidermied piglet banks, frogs in plastic cubes and reindeer steaks for sale, it doesn't mean we can't have a humane holiday season this year. Here are more than 25 ways to give without giving up on your love for animals.

Capital One is the latest in a string of financial institutions to settle allegations of unfair lending, with a deal to pay $2.85 million in damages. Its 2009 acquisition of Chevy Chase Bank led to a review of financial records, which exposed the bias against black and Latino mortgage borrowers at Chevy Chase since 2006. Greater than 3,100 such consumers were charged hundreds of dollars more than white bank customers by loan officers who were granted wide discretion to charge extra fees or offer price concessions.
While the abuse affected borrowers nationwide, the problem was concentrated in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and in West Virginia. Capital One did not admit to any wrongdoing, and court documents confirm that the allegations are not tied to any of its lending practices. The bank, which had already compensated nearly 300 borrowers who were overcharged, said it agreed to the settlement in order to avoid the cost and risk of additional litigation.

Have you seen this mural? If so, what restaurant does it belong to?
I do have a confession to make. I altered the photo a bit to hide a huge hint that was printed on the chalkboard menu. I'm curious to see if you can guess the place on the artwork alone.
Chime in and I will post an update later on.
Some solid guesses but before it gets too late in the day I'll pull back the curtain. The restaurant is Le Triskell (written about in the Creative Loafing last year) and specializes in crêpes of the sweet and savory variety. Le Triskell also offers sandwiches, salads and sparkling imported fruit-based sodas.
Pictured to the left is the restaurant's galette complète — a crêpe made with buckwheat flour and filled with ham, egg and cheese.
Le Triskell, 3833 Roswell Road, Atlanta. 404-814-8208.

Computer Program Detail Page
written by Wolfgang Christian
The Eigenstate Superposition model illustrates the fundamental building blocks of one-dimensional quantum mechanics, the energy eigenfunctions ψn(x) and energy eigenvalues En. The user enters the expansion coefficients into a table and the simulation uses the superposition principle to construct and display a time-dependent wave function using either infinite square well (ISW) or simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) eigenfunctions.
The Eigenstate Superposition model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_qm_Superposition.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.
Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).

Spotted in Alumni Hall: a large stack of empty pizza boxes. Eye-witnesses claim that the twenty-five pizzas were devoured in a matter of minutes. Who had this pizza party? It was one hundred hungry eighth graders from Wind Gap Middle School. They visited Main Campus for a tour and to meet with current students. As you can see, it made them very hungry!
Congratulations to Shekinah Maxwell for correctly guessing who the pizza party guests were. She has won a $10 gift card to NCC's Food Court!
