ItalyxReader Taboo"Bella, you're getting-a better, right?" Italy rubbed (Name)'s hand on the side of his face, almost like a cat would. "Mm-hmm, I shouldn't be troubled by this sickness too much longer." (Name) smiled, her voice raspy. "Don't you have a meeting to go to?" Italy shot up out of the seat next to (Name)'s hospital bed. "Ah, you're-a right! I almost forgot!" He leaned down and gently pecked (Name)'s forehead."I'll come-a back after the meeting. Ti amo (Name)." She smiled in response as he left the room. The moment he left the room, her face fell. "I'm sorry
" She whispered weakly, taking a video tape out from under her pillow and setting it on the bedside table.She could feel her lungs constricting and colors began leaking into the edges of her vision. "I
love you too
" She breathed out, her vision began to darken, and she couldn't breathe. A nurse was entering the room, and she could see her rush out, probably to get a doctor. She could barely see out of the corner of her e
PrussiaxReader Fruit SellersThe townsfolk used to say "Puddlesmere is not one for fresh produce." And they were right. There were only a few crops that grew in or near their small town, and those were fresh and plentiful most of the year, but the townspeople craved for the fruits that they themselves could not grow.The ground was rocky and hard, and tucked between mountains. Fruit sellers didn't go over the mountains very often, only a few times a year, because their hefty wagons were hard to manage on the mountainous terrains.When the townspeople got their hands on fruits and vegetables of all sorts, they bought as much as they could, and out of those they bought most were pickled, preserved, jellied, dried, and saved in any sort of way for the times between fruit sellers.There were other merchants and peddlers with other merchandise, but they weren't s nearly anticipated as fruit sellers, which came much less often.The townspeople were a bit rowdy recently, since it was near the time that their faithful old
GermanyxReader Dogs and Whipped Cream MustachesDogs are knowing creatures. They can tell if you are happy, or if you are sad. They are loyal, and loving. They seem to have a sense of future happenings, too. Or at least they did that morning.Ludwig was just taking his dogs out for a quick walk, strolling around the park, even though it was chilly out. His blonde hair was hidden under a warm hat, and his muscular frame was only covered by a fall jacket. "Verdammt. I'm still not used to this place's cold weather." He muttered.He had only moved to this colder northern town a month ago, but he hadn't gotten used to the weather, not that he really experienced it yet, being cooped up in his study doing work. The dogs were begging for a walk today, and he couldn't stand their faces.He was a softie for his dogs, treating them kindly, but with a firm grip. He sneezed. "Mein Gott

EnglandxReader PoppinyWhen I was young there was a girl living just down the street from me. She was a few years younger than me, and she had pretty round (eye color) eyes and shiny (hair color) hair. No one knew her name, and a few even speculated that she didn't have one, but who doesn't have a name?Every afternoon on my way back from school she would be sitting on the front steps on her porch, waiting for someone to stop by and talk to her, I suppose. Sometimes I would walk right past her, and she would lift herself off of the large grayed porch and go through the squeaky old screen door.Other times I would talk to her, and she always had things to say about fairies and elves, brownies and pixies ("Most people think they're the same, but they are very different if you know what to look for.") wizards and sorceresses, and all of these creatures lived in a world she called "Poppiny".She always told me the most magnificent tales, and I always listened when she started out with "Once
General WinterxReaderWhen the small, northern-lying island nation of (Country Name) first opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was snow dropping out of the sky onto the ground and her fur-clad self. She giggled at it, romping around in the banks of snow, shrieking and laughing at the cold wonders.In midst of her playing, she noticed a man watching her from by a tree, leaning up against one side of it, that side frozen. He had frozen garments on that she was unfamiliar with, and hair under his nose, bunched up, reminding her of a squirrel's tail.She stopped her rolling around in the snow and walked up to him, and she smiled at him, extending her arms in a friendly gesture, not yet knowing words in a language that anyone could understand. He squatted down onto his haunches to look at her, his icy breathe clouding up in front of her.He extended one hand up and blow on it, causing a small cluster of snowflakes to settle in his hand, and her eyes filled with wonder. Her smile grew at the production of
SwedenxReader Pencil"Can I borrow a pencil?"This whisper came from behind you, so you turned around in your seat, looked at the other first-grader behind you. He was one of your classmates you hadn't really paid attention to, as you were sort of a loner kid.He had nice blue eyes that looked pretty for a boy, even though it was a little unnerving in the way they stared at you, and he wore glasses over them. He had short lightly colored blonde hair, too, that reminded you of buttered popcorn.You nodded quickly. You opened your desk up and rummaged around it. "I'm (Name)," You told him as you handed him a bright yellow pencil. He took it in his larger hand. "Berwald." He told you in response, and you both turned to your work.Later at recess, when you were stuck in the middle of the monkey bars, three feet above the ground (Which seemed like it was eight to you) he went up to you, saw the silent plea in your eyes, and put his hands around your waist."Just let go."You slowly released your death grip on t

Hetalia Reader Insert ContestAlright, this is a contest for those of you who write reader inserts for Hetalia. Now, like any other contest, i have to go over the details and the rules.The theme is 'Dirty and Gritty'.And no, not having a shower in week is not what it means. I'm looking for a down-to-earth story, one that shows the gritty underbelly of life, the hard part. Like of the men and women without a home, the girls dancing in the redlight districts and brothels, the ones working multiple jobs to support their families, murderers and crime, racial and social injustice, people succumbing to greed and lust, gold diggers, the greasy haired loan sharks. I want that harsh, dirty, gritty part of the world.Now, the rules are:1. Oneshots only, please. Please no little drabbles, and no multi chaptered fics.2. Post the link in the comments please, and i will add them to the Contest folder. I can't put your story in the contest if i don't have a link to it.3. Please limit how many stories you enter. It's alright

Data retention, FOI and the storage budget
We set you a challenge. How do you resolve the conflicting requirements of data retention rules, the Freedom of Information Act and managing a storage budget? Email, as you know, clogs up your storage boxes like nothing else. And if your policy is "hang on to it, you never know when you might need it" you could find yourself …
Sales Pitch, really?
If I'd wanted a sales pitch I'd have gone to M$.com.
There's a lot more to data retention than cloud storage options. And the issues change with the geography - EU and US data privacy laws are markedly different and can result in alternate strategies having to be used in global organizations. As was mentioned, industry specific guidelines/laws exist but there are roles in most companies that have rules to be followed - financial, HR, and corporate records have different retention needs and these have to be maintained across data storage mediums (Peoplesoft/ JD Edwards vs email & Word/Excel docs) and these are the areas where most companies can get caught out.
Then there's the issue of litigation and eDiscovery - and there areas are dependent on well written/executed data retention plans.

Actually, all this stuff is still being worked on. PTR, after all. Please, everyone and Mat, read this comment from Zarhym:
The question he was answering was about ilvl, but he also mentions several other things that are still being worked on.
"We're in the process of making some updates to the Random Dungeon Finder categories, Valor Point acquisition/caps, epic vendor offerings, and developing the Raid Finder."

Chapter 30 Reviews
Dr. Bruce's Human Sexual Behavior class is a hot choice among students at UNO. After all, in a class like that, anything can happen.
Funny the way life works. During the first few weeks of class, seeing Chad became the highlight of my day. When he sat near me, my heart came close to leaping from my chest and when he spoke to me, my stomach did somersaults. In the four weeks following our private study session, however, my feelings had done a complete 180. Sure, I was still attracted to him, but I had begun to doubt anything would develop between the two of us. I dreaded having to see him in class and having him sit next to me because I just knew he'd begin putting all the clues together-my almost constant stammering in his presence, the way my hands would "accidentally" brush against his, the way I would sweat and redden with him so near-and that would be the end of our relationship (if you could even call it a relationship). I took extra care not to let any of my body parts brush against any of his, and I apologized quickly if any of them ever did. I also tried to talk to him as little as possible without seeming rude and kept my head slightly lowered.
I'm pretty sure he thought something was up, but he didn't say anything about it.
About three weeks after our first test, the time came to cover the chapter on child birth. This, of course, meant watching one of those "The Miracle of Life" videos. The really, really graphic ones. While my classmates squealed in disgust of seeing a vaginal delivery (shot from the front, mind you), I slowly moved to scratch my thigh. Guess whose thigh got in the way.
"Oh sorry," I whispered hurriedly as my hand sprung back, "I thought that was my leg. Honestly, I did."
"It's ok," he replied not taking his eyes off the screen.
God! What is wrong with me? I asked myself. Shifting in my seat, my elbow brushed against his arm. Again, I winced inwardly hoping he hadn't noticed. Next to me, Tony was snickering softly at the entire ordeal. "Glad to know you get such pleasure from my pain," I muttered to him as quietly as I could."
"Well you have to admit it's humourous."
"What is?" I demanded in a hushed voice. "That fact that I can't even move without worrying he may think I'm molesting him?"
"No," he said smirking, "the fact that you're worrying over something so idiotic. If he didn't notice you're constant groping before, what makes you think he will now?"
I chose not to respond and instead turned my attention to the video, only to instantly turn away again. Vagina. Ew.
"Well, that was thoroughly disgusting," Tony proclaimed to me after class. Jade, who was pushing past him rolled her eyes.
"It's the miracle of life! That's how you entered this world."
He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "We're still study partners for the next test, right?"He asked with a grin. The second test was scheduled for the following Friday, the day before we got out for spring break.
She slung her bookbag harshly over her shoulder knocking Tony slightly off balance. "Dream on, jackass," she muttered shoving through the crowd quickly.
"Yeah, she wants me," he affirmed. Pushing students in front of us to the side, he followed after her shouting for her to wait up.
"No offense, but he's weird." Chad had appeared next to me. I pushed down the blush that was slowing creeping over my face. "I mean, can't he take a hint?" He flashed me a grin. A sexy grin. I felt a "major swoon" moment coming on, but looked away and repressed it.
"Nah, he can. He just enjoys annoying people. It's his soul purpose in life."
"Oh." An uncomfortable silence settled between us and I assumed we would soon part ways. "Uh, so you excited about spring break?" Guess not.
Keeping my eye glued to my feet I replied, "Sure. You?"
"Yeah. Are you going somewhere?"
"Yeah, me neither. People seem to forget it's called spring break. I mean, it's like you're supposed to just rest, not run around partying and stuff," he pointed out with a small laugh.
"Mm-hm." Yet another lapse of silence. Awk-ward...
"Well," he began finally, "I wanted to talk to you about the next test. I was hoping we could study together again."
Another date with Mr. Goodbody? Ok, so technically it's a study date, but the word "date" is still in there. Only an ignoramus would refuse that.
"I don't know..."
Hello. My name is Brent and I am an ignoramus.
"The thing is," I tried to explain, "I kind of have this big project for another class and I have a partner I'm doing it with...I mean, I don't know when I'll have any free time and I don't want you to do badly on account of me."
"I can work around your project. I can get together whenever you're free."
I wrung my hands nervously. "No, I think it's better that we not do that. Maybe next time." I finally looked up at him. His eyes were so sullen, I almost gave in.
He bit his lip in thought. "Well, what if-"
I cut him off before I changed my mind. "I have to meet someone right now. See you on Friday?"
He opened his mouth to protest, but closed it and sighed disdainfully. "Yeah. Friday."
I swiftly took off to the University Center and I didn't look back.
As I entered the UC, I could feel my body temperature lowering substantially. I'm not sure if that was due to the Arctic-level air conditioning or because Chad was no longer around me. Whatever the reason, I appreciatively wiped the last bit of sweat from my forehead as I scanned the cafeteria. I spotted Tony and Jade sharing a table near the Subway. Actually, from the looks Jade was giving him, I assumed Tony was merely intruding.
"Hey," I greeted as I slid into an empty chair.
"Hey, Brent," Tony acknowledge as he batted one of Jade's pigtails playfully. Her arm snapped up and slapped his hand away.
"Quit that!" she hissed. With her nostrils flaring, she continued scribbling furiously in a notebook. At that point Tony chose to focus his attention on me
"So what happened to you and Mr. Wonderful?"
I groaned folding my arms on the table. "Don't ask."
"That bad?"
I rested my chin atop my arms and stared at the table's patterns. "He asked me to study with him again."
There was a pause. "Wow, don't you hate it when your crush wants to spend more time with you?"
Raising my eye to meet his, I scowled slightly. "I declined."
I studied me the way one studies a paradox. "Brent, I don't think playing 'hard to get' really works for you."
"Oh shut up already."
Jade raised her hand in agreement. "I second that!"
Tony scooted closer to her. "Now for you it works."
"Too bad I'm not playing," she muttered rolling her eyes.
"You know I've heard that if you roll your eyes too many times they fall out of your head," he retorted
She started to roll her eyes again, but stopped mid-roll. Without a comeback, she simply dove back into her work. "Could you please just shut up so I can concentrate?"
"Aw, I'm just trying to helping you study."
I sat back and observed their bickering, momentarily forgetting about my own problems. "You two are a strange couple."
Jade's muffled screech was a clear indication that it wasn't the best thing to say. "We are not a couple," she murmured letting her head fall onto her folded arms. Tony patted the top of her head.
"It's ok. You don't have to admit it just yet," he replied.
"Well, you're closer to being a couple than Chad and I are," I mused bitterly.
Jade's hazel eyes peeked out at me and her brow furrowed. "Chad? Are you talking about Chad Meyers?"
My heart began beating more quickly. "You know him?"
"Sort of. My friend's friend is-"
"The brother of the cousin," Tony interjected, "of the roommate of the third aunt of-Ow!" He rubbed his shin where Jade had kicked him.
"As I was saying," she continued more or less unfazed, "one of my friends is friends with someone who knows him. I ran into him at a party once at the beginning of the semester."
By this point my heart was racing. She'd been right under my nose the entire time, yet she quite possibly held the key to my future. Could I be one step closer to finding out which side he plays for?
"So you're a party girl, eh?" Tony wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her.
"Tony, could you stop harassing her for one fucking second?" I snapped. What good was she if my so-called friend scared her off? "Jade, I know we don't know each other really and there's no reason why you should do me any favors, but..." I took a deep breath and closed my eye, "doyoupossiblythinkyoucouldtellmeifhe'sgayornotifyoucouldthatwouldbeawesomeandI'dloveyouforever."
She blinked as her brain attempted to decipher what I had just said. I was having a little trouble doing so myself.. "Uh, could you repeat that?"
She raised her hand to stop me. "A bit slower, please."
Another breath. "Do you possibly think you could tell me if he's gay or not? If you could that would be awesome and I'd love you forever." Phew. That wasn't so hard, was it?
"Well, I'd love to help you out," she said. Score! "But I really don't know myself." Swing and a miss! "When we were at the party, he didn't dance with anyone of either sex and I don't know that he was actually there with anyone. In fact, he looked downright uncomfortable being there at all. I think he was dragged there by a friend."
Seeing the disappoint in my expression she pointed out, "Well, he doesn't seem to mind you practically groping him all the time..."
"That was an accident!" I protested. "Ok, the first few weeks it wasn't...but after that it was all accidental!"
She held her hands up in defense. "Ok, ok! Jeez." She smacked away Tony's hand which had once again found its way to her pigtail. "If you're interested in knowing, why don't you just ask him?"
I shook my head in disarray. Oh the naivete! "I can't ask a guy if he's gay or not."
"Why?" she inquired, eyebrow raised.
"Because if he's straight he'll be insulted. Straight guys don't want people to wonder whether or not they're gay."
"That makes no sense. If he'd not gay anyway, why does it matter? Would it insult you for people to think you're straight?"
"That's what I said!" Tony proclaimed. "You know what that means? It means we've actually agreed with each other for once!"
"Oh. Wow. I'll check for the coming of the Apocalypse," she replied monotonously.
"Hey, I know you two want some flirting time, but can we focus on my situation for a second please?"
She stared at me coldly. "A: We are not flirting. B: If you keep that attitude I won't help you at all. You seem to forget, I know some of his friends. Maybe not well, but better than you do."
I cringed slightly. She did have a point. "Ok, I'm sorry. I'm just desperate right now. Any help would be appreciated." I clasped my hand together pleadingly and gave her my best puppy dog face.
She tapped her pen against the table and chewed her bottom lip thoughtfully. "There is someone who might know. I've only met him a couple of times, but he seems nice enough."
I took her hand gently in both of mine and kneeled before her. "If you do this for me, I will be forever in your debt."
"I said I'd do it, didn't I?"
I let my forehead fall against the hand I still held. "Oh, I knew girls had to be good for something."
"Well, I think they're great for all kinds of things," I heard Tony reply smugly.
She leaned down to me "You say you're forever in my debt?" I nodded. "Will you get him away from me for a while?" She asked pleadingly with a nod in Tony's direction.
"Anything," I proclaimed. I hurriedly grabbed Tony's arm and yanked him from his seat. After making it three feet from the table, I turned back to Jade. "One more thing: Please do not use my name. You know, just in case."
She shrugged. "Whatever you want. But I'm not making any promises about anything!"
I jubilantly dragged Tony out of the cafeteria and in the direction of Bienville Hall. "You can let go of me," he insisted. "I'm not a child."
"Not a chance," I refused.
Just when all hope had seemed lost for me, when I thought I'd spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been between Chad and I, God had beamed upon me. He hadn't smiled or grinned; he had beamed! He really did love me!
My mind continued to race, even after reaching the dormitory. Was this a sign? Did this mean Chad was truly my soul mate? Did this mean we'd eventually get married (which of course would be legal everywhere by then, because apparently God loves me) and begin a family? I asked Tony what he thought.
"Don't you think you should plan the wedding after you find out if he's gay?" Damn him and his logic. "Peaking of which, what are you going to do if it turns out he's straight?"
I sighed. I didn't want to think about that possibility. After all, God wouldn't tease me this way. Would he? "It's best that I know, even if he's not gay. At least then I can start getting over him...eventually."
I wasn't going to think about the downside, though.
It would all work out.
I mean God fucking loves me!
Only two days later Jade approached me before class. She didn't nod or shake her head. She simply instructed me to meet her at the front of the UC right after class. I would've asked her to elaborate, but you-know-who showed up before I got a chance. Now I had to wait almost an hour to find out whether or not the perfect specimen sitting next to my left was meant to be with me.
It's a good thing this wasn't really a class in which taking notes was imperative, because that day I had other things to think about besides communicating with one's sexual partner. I needed to actually have a partner before I could worry about that. Knowing when it was appropriate to teach children about sex and their genitals also did little to appease me, though it did get me thinking about the children Chad and I would adopt. If we got together, that is. Christ, we had to get together!
I watched mesmerized as the minute hand on the clock slowly edged its way to the ten.
"...and I will see you all on Monday. Have a great weekend."
The sweetest words I've ever heard! I gathered my things quickly to beat the rush of people. A hand shot out as I reached the aisle and took hold of my shoulder. "Brent? Can I talk to you?"
Must resist! Must resist! My mind screamed as my heart overlapped with Stay!Stay!Stay! "I'm really sorry, but I have to meet someone right now."
"Yes. Can this wait until Monday?"
He released my shoulder reluctantly. "Sure. It can wait." He pushed past me into the oncoming crowd.
For a single moment, getting to the UC didn't matter. For a single moment, I wondered if I had just made on of the biggest mistakes of my life. After a single moment, I shook my head nad muttered to myself, "Nah."
I've never been much of an athlete, but I'm almost positive my dash to the UC had to have broken some kind of record. Jade was leaning patiently against one of the windows and smiled when she saw me coming. "For a second I thought you'd chickened out."
"Got a bit held-up," I explained as I tried to catch my breath. After my heart rate returned to its normal speed I felt ready to hear the consensus, be it good or bad. "So?"
"So..." she trailed off. Shit. She wasn't looking me in the eye. "There's kind of a problem. Well, it actually isn't a "problem" it's more like...a change of plans. The guy-"
"Brent! What the fuck was that? You just left without me," Tony grumbled as he walked toward us. "So what's the verdict?"
"Don't know yet," she answered. "See, the guy I talked to said he'd only help if he knew who was asking. I told him I wasn't at liberty to say, but that I'd let you know that. " She jerked her head in the direction of the cafeteria. "He's waiting in there. It's up to you."
I shifted my weight back and forth from foot to foot. "What do you think?" I asked her.
"I'd go for it, but that's just me."
What's worse? Having someone who doesn't like you back finding out you like them only to ruin what could be a great friendship, or living the rest of your life not knowing what could have been? I guess Lord Tennyson was right in saying, "'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."
"Where is he?"
Tony grinned proudly as he nudged my shoulder. "'Atta boy!"
Jade lead us into the UC cafeteria. "Now," she began, "he can be a bit hyper, but all in all-"
"BRENT!" I soon found myself in a suffocating embrace by non-other than Ian.
Jade seemed thoroughly amused. "I see you two know each other already."
Ian was babbling on. "I knew it had to be you. I mean, I saw the way you had been looking at him that night. I was thinking to myself, 'Wow! Wouldn't they make the cutest couple?'"
My eye darted back and forth between Ian and Jade. "This is your friend of a friend of a friend?" Ooo. Did that make your brain hurt? Yeah, mine too.
"Oh yeah," Ian interjected, "my friend, Alex, is a Music major and his friend, Steven, is a Communications major and his friend is Jade who is a Drama major and hold on because I need to breath now." He paused taking a deep breath. "Ok, so where was I?"
"Playing six degrees of Chad Meyers," Tony replied.
I gripped Ian's shoulders and looked him in the eye. "Ian, this is probably the most important question I will ever ask you: Is Chad gay or am I barking up the wrong tree?"
"To be honest, I don't know..."
Fuck! Does anyone know anything about this guy?
"He's a man of mystery. He keeps to himself a lot and I've never seen him go on a date with anyone. Well, except for you," Ian added with a mischievous gleam in his eye. "I guess that doesn't really count, though."
"Why'd you insist on meeting me if you couldn't help me anyway?"
He shrugged. "Curiosity? Besides," he continued, "just because I know as much as you do about his sexuality doesn't mean I can't help you find out more. We do live in the same apartment, you know."
Tony and Jade had been standing to the side watching the exchange. His arm slid around her shoulder. "It's a great thing you did."
"Thank you," she replied. After a beat she added, "Take it off or I'll break it off."
He obliged, but didn't quit. "Come on, I'll buy you a snowball. We should probably leave them alone anyway."
"Fine," she agreed with a sigh.
Hm. Hell must have been freezing over. Maybe that meant the Saints would win the Superbowl...
An hour and two boats of cheese fries later, Ian and I had gotten nowhere. Apparently Chad didn't talk much about any of his friends from high school or really anything that happened to him before college. All Ian knew for sure was that Chad's family lived in Alexandria (located Northeast of new Orleans) and, with the exception of Christmas break, Chad hadn't once gone home to visit his family. Although, that could've been attributed to distance.
"I swear," Ian spoke while lifting a cheese drenched fry from the boat, "his room is incredibly bare. He has a bed and a small desk. No pictures, no posters, no gay porn magazines. Nothing. Nada." He bit into the fry as I sat back and evaluated my current situation.
Yes, I was no closer than I had been before to knowing what I needed to know, but I had to have made progress somehow.
"What do you suggest I do then?" If anyone could give me advice, it was Ian.
"Well, for starters don't turn down anymore offers to study with him."
"What good will that do?"
He shook his head in amazement. "Brent, don't you understand? Chad has spent more time with you than he has with anyone else. Well, except for me, Josh, and David, but that's only because we live together. After you left he couldn't stop talking about you. It was all 'Oh and Brent did this' and 'Brent said the funniest thing.' Even if he doesn't like you romantically, he really values your friendship. You may the one person who can help him become more comfortable around other people."
"And if he gets more comfortable with people..."I trailed off, now fully comprehending what Ian was getting at.
He finished my thought. "Maybe then he'll start letting people know more about him, especially you." He began picking at the cheese which was stuck to the bottom of the boat. "See, Chad is like a flower. He's completely closed up right now. If you try to pry him open, he'll only fall apart. However, with a little nurturing, he'll open up on his own."
I stared at him for a good few seconds before replying, "Wow, that was fucking corny." I had to admit to myself it was also somewhat poetic.
"Just keep it in mind," he insisted. He looked as though planned to continue, but stopped to look at something behind me. I turned to see Chad entering the cafeteria, though he hadn't noticed Ian and me yet. "Perhaps I should leave you two alone," Ian decided getting up from the table. "Go get him!"
My level of confidence had risen and my talk with Ian had been helpful, even if it hadn't been overly productive. I strode to where Chad was standing in line at Starbucks and braced myself. "Chad?"
He looked at me, but didn't smile. He usually smiled.
"So, um, that project I was telling you about? Well, I don't have to do it after all. So if you wanted to study-"
"I don't think so," he interrupted. "I'm going to be pretty busy with some other stuff."
"Oh." I tried, but I couldn't keep the disappointment out of my voice. "Well what were you trying to tell me before?"
He shook his head. "I forgot." He was lying. "Tall café mocha," he ordered when he reached the front. I wasn't about to give up too easily.
"Hey, if you want to get together over spring break or something-"
He shook his head before I could finish. "I'm going to be really busy." Grabbing his order, he gave me a curt nod and left me standing there.
One word came to mind.

Survey: Silicone vs. Nonstick
There are many tools and special materials designed for baking these days, and most address the question of how to get perfectly formed cupcakes and muffins that don't break in the pan. Silicone and nonstick pans both have their merits. Which one do you prefer?
More discussion on silicone and nonstick below.

I detest silicone for it's floppy non-browning baking time altering qualities. I'm ok with non-stick, but I much prefer uncoated materials, which is why I mostly buy my bakeware at restaurant supply shops now.
I have also had nothing but disappointing results with silicone bakeware. I use a mix of nonstick and glass and use lots of parchment paper.
When I bake I actually use BOTH it just depends on the situation. If your question (as suggested by the picture) is geared specifically towards muffins/cupcakes than there is no substitute for non-stick. Silicone is just way too flimsy.
However, when I used a sheet pan for cookies, meringues, scones, or biscuits than I use silicone baking sheet inserts. They are easy to clean and are reusable. I'm not the 'greenest' person in the world but I try to cut down on waste where I am able.
Great question!
The paranoid side of me worries that there is something in the silicone that is seeping into whatever is cooked in it.
What is the advantage of silicone anyway?
I usually use liners--then things pop right out. I also like to bake in nut cups for a "slimmer" look and portability (a lot of cupcake bakers have taken to it, too). But when I go without liners, then I use nonstick, since my silicone muffin pan seems more anxious to eat the muffins than I am and usually refuses to let go of them without taking a bite out.
I have a silicone muffin pan and it is annoying as hell. It's hard to get it in and out of the oven and then it's hard to get the muffins out of the pan b/c it's so floppy. But, I like my Silpat for certain cookies.
I wouldn't worry about silicone. They make, uh, "personal lubricant" that is silicone based, and it's non-toxic.
It's good because it's slippery. It's bad because it's floppy and insulating. Personally, I don't use it (but I LOOOOOVE silicone spatulas).
I like silicone spatulas and baking liners; I dislike silicone baking cups. Someone out there makes silicone Bundt pans-- have no idea how those work, they just seem so flimsy.
I thought the advantage of silicon was that nonstick is carcinogenic. Anyway, I use it but hate it. I use glass and cast iron as much as possible.
I've switched to Emile Henry glazed clay bakeware for foods baked in circular and rectangular shapes; heavy aluminum insulated sheet for cookies; and cheapo non-stick pan with paper liners for cupcakes. I like glass bakeware as well... trying to phase out most non-stick and Teflon items in my kitchen.
I really like my silicone baking things -- I have the muffin pans (which sit in a metal holder, so they aren't as flimsy), a bundt pan, cookie sheet liners and some square and round pans. They are great to clean - very easy, especially when you don't have a dishwasher. You don't need parchment paper or cupcake liners and nothing burns. And they are easy to bend, etc, so you can be more creative when trying to save space in storage.
I have a bird and can't use any non stick surface in my kitchen. Not that I trust it either. Till we find out that silicone is hazardous too, I will use that instead. I made a great cake in a silicone bundt pan, so it is possible.
It's really hard to clean silicone after repeated use. I tossed my minimuffin "pan" in favor of nonstick.
Like jblue, I have a bird and severely restrict my use of non-stick but I prefer traditional aluminum, it seems like all of the reviews of silicone pans I see suggest that it browns way less than in normal pans. I also find the flexibility to be a liability. Some things however, I just cannot find without non-stick but I make sure they are never above 350 and I have an air purifier on. I think most of the danger in non-stick for birds come from stove top items because they can exceed 500 degrees rapidly. Still I wish standard aluminum was more available.
neither! try cast iron muffin tins, your muffins will come out easy and taste delicious.
I dislike silicone pans for baking, but absolutely love them for making soap. Wilton and other companies make the most delightful muffin/cupcake silcone pans in themes for different holidays. I use melt and pour soap base with essential oils and colorings of my choice. When hardened, they pop out like a breeze. They make great gifts and look terrific in a decorative soap dish.
with silicone, i just never quite know when the cake's done. it seems so much longer of a bake time and the edges are usually crustier than normal. but i use the spatulas all the time - best thing since sliced bread :)
any time I tried backing with silicone, my cakes ended up burned at the bottom (ok, I confess it's happened with nonstick pans too, but blame the soprano's, not the cook! they distracted me!!!)
I love my silicon pans, I have several silicone pans and all of them work wonderfully. Everyone says, silicone is to wobbly: I only have pans from Tefal (Proflex series) and they have a metal frame incorporated at the top. So you have the best of both worlds: easy to handle and non-stick

The park Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is an 11 acre (45,000 m²) park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States. It is located near the Walker Art Center, which operates it in coordination with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. It is one of the largest urban sculpture gardens in the country, with 40 permanent art installations and several other temporary pieces that are moved in and out periodically.
The park is also in proximity to Loring Park and the Basilica of Saint Mary. It was once connected to Loring Park, but the construction of Interstate 94 in the 1960s split the area into two parts.
The centerpiece of the garden is the Spoonbridge and Cherry (1985–1988) water sculpture designed by husband and wife Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The grounds also include the Cowles Conservatory, which has more flora and sculpture inside, such as Frank Gehry's Standing Glass Fish. A pedestrian bridge, the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge (1987), designed by Siah Armajani now crosses I-94, once again connecting the sculpture garden to Loring Park.

Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith (right) has broken his silence following the death of his Kris Kross bandmate Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly (left) on Wednesday, insisting he will "always cherish the memories" of their friendship.
The 34-year-old was pronounced dead at a hospital in Atlanta after he was found unresponsive at his home in the city, and stars including Sean '"Diddy" Combs, LL Cool J and Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to pay their respects to the star, who was discovered in an Atlanta shopping mall by Jermaine Dupri in 1990.
Now Smith has added his tribute to his close pal in a statement, which reads: "Chris Kelly was my Best Friend. He was like a brother. I love him and will miss him dearly.
"Our friendship began as little boys in first grade. We grew up together. It was a blessing to achieve the success, travel the world and entertain Kris Kross fans all around the world with my best friend. It is what we wanted to do and what brought us happiness. I will always cherish the memories of the C-Connection. Kris Kross forever."
Kelly's autopsy was carried out on Thursday and there was no indication of foul play. Cops are investigating the possibility that drugs were involved in the rapper's death.

I don't know about you, but if my child told me they were pregnant, I'd get medical care for them immediately. I wouldn't ignore the whole situation. This stuff is NEEDED. Fo your daughters health, and her child's. You can't condemn your child for making a mistake. For doing something that 90% of everyone in her school is doing. It wasn't peer pressure, it was love.
You don't know what's happening in her body. A mother knows. Whether you're 16, or 25, a mother knows. You can't go into denial and do nothing about the situation. You can't ignore it. You can't stop it. Maybe it wasn't your ideal life for her, but it happened. And you can't do anything about it. Going through it all is hard enough, and not having your support (quite the antithesis of 'support') makes it 10x's harder. It makes it unbearable. You have no idea what she's thinking or how she's hurting. How she thinks on a day to day basis of leaving. Not just your godforsaken house. But the world.
Stop assuming you know what's going on in her life.
Is there even a point to living anymore?
Love this. <3 I love Sue's relationship with this girl. <3
I absolutely loveeeeee that face!
Perfect teeth, perfect nose, perfect ears, perfect lips, perfect eyes, perfect tattoos, perfect voice. M. Shadows is not helping my resentment of society's view of perfection..
Kneel to the crown
Children still play in the garden. Dance as the sun slips away. Not even stars last forever. Cleanse us, Acid Rain.
Ohhh M. Shadows <3 <3

"This means that you'll be able to level your character simply by competing in PvP in battlegrounds and completing objectives, such as capturing the flag in WSG or securing resources in AB. Not from killing other players."
"Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included)."
There's a little bit of wiggle room here for KBs. Any clarification around?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
When my daughter started attending ROJH, I expected a school with a culture of high standards. So far I have been thoroughly disappointed. Despite the shining reviews left by others, I find the school to be sub-par academically. In addition to academics, there are several other issues that I am concerned about. There is a growing number of disruptive students who are now beginning to interfere with classroom instruction, some students are regularly bullied with no disciplinary repercussions for those doing the bullying, and the school administrators/teachers are failing to confront these problems. I have heard these same concerns from other parents as well. My daughter is an excellent student and I am an involved parent who wants her to have the best educational experience possible. Right now, ROJH is failing to provide such an experience.
I think Red Oak Jr. High is an excellent school. My son enjoys the curriculum, there are a lot of extra curricular activities available, his teachers are dedicated and the staff has been great. If your child is having discipline issues, look in the mirror, and ask yourself how involved you are in your child's education. Both parents work in this family, no stay at home mom to pick up the slack. We're all over the homework and communicate with the teachers, who welcome it. This school provides talented educators and a great curriculum. I have found the teachers here to be excellent, the councilors to be very caring, and the staff hard working and very attentive.
There are MANY schools in Tx. that enroll children. Best of luck. Hope there is the perfect one waiting for another enrollment.
Not a good school by any measure. I will be sending my child elsewhere when school resumes in August.
I read the comments on these website and am surprised how low it is. I was recently a student this past year and it was completely different under the new assistant principals. They were hard, but fair. I shared my discipline incidents and got sent home as well as AEP. If anything, students welcomed the change.
The school had a major turnaround in just one year. You noticed the difference from my child's 7th to 8th grade year. Even the enforcement of Dress Code was placed here compared to the other campuses. That's really what got some parents upset.
This school was a nightmare. My child was bullied, and nothing was done about it.
The teachers at this school are great. Kids at this age can be very difficult to deal with, and considering a lack of parental invovolement, I beleive the teahers do a great job. I do believe the principles could make better decision when it comes to detention and disipline. Overall, a pretty good school.
This school doesn't communicate with parents. I've been to the school office several times and have witnessed students be unfairly disciplined. They seem to jump straight to detentions and sending children out of class. If you are limited in your ability to speak English this problem is multiplied! Avoid this school This

Meeker Memorial Hospital reports 21% profit margin in December; Increase in patient volume results in $500K profit
LITCHFIELD -- A recent increase in patient numbers led to a big month for Meeker Memorial Hospital.

Schramm said in a phone interview Thursday that the hospital made a 21 percent profit margin in December.

Webinar: Community Colleges as Living Laboratories of Sustainability
This webinar is intended for community colleges interested in enhanced campus sustainability efforts, and providing hands-on learning opportunities to their campus community, through the integration of the "living laboratory" concept. It will also highlight the benefits of joining the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) as well as The SEED (Sustainability Education and Economic Development) Center of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and address FAQs about these programs. The event will also introduce SEED's newly published resource, Eight Elements to Building a Living Lab, and feature St. Clair County Community College's successes in campus sustainability as part of both the ACUPCC and SEED networks.
Webinar: Why the Integrated Process is Imperative for Campus Sustainability
Taking an honest look at the integrated process in action for campus sustainability, panelists will discuss how institutions can best create a supportive community in pursuit of its sustainability goals. Looking at specific instances of how this has (and hasn't) worked, panelists will address sustainability frameworks such as the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment, USGBC's LEED green building rating system, and AASHE STARS as applied to areas such as curriculum, facilities and campus culture. The event will take place on July 23, 2013, 2:00 – 3:00 pm (Eastern Daylight Time). Registration required.
Webinar: Effective & Affordable Community-Based Social Marketing Strategies to Increase Recycling & Reduce Waste on Campus
This webinar will be hosted by The Alcoa Foundation, in partnership with AASHE and Keep American Beautiful.

The event will take place on June 20, 2013 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT. Registration required.
Webinar: Incorporating Sustainability into the Curriculum
This webinar, hosted by AASHE, is for all educators who are considering incorporating sustainability into their higher education curriculum. Attendees will learn about the history of sustainability pedagogy and gain an understanding of best practices related to incorporating sustainability concepts into undergraduate and graduate level courses at your institution. Speakers include educators from Algonquin College (Canada), Luther College (Iowa), and Northern Arizona University. The webinar will take place on May 28, 2013 from 2:00PM - 3:00PM (EDT). RSVP required.
Webinar: A "Greenprint" to Promote Sustainability Skills in the 21st Century Workforce via Community Colleges
Input from community colleges and their stakeholders is essential in the ongoing drafting of a policy recommendations "Greenprint."

The meeting was hosted by the Greenforce Initiative, a joint-program of the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program and Jobs for the Future with support from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. Topics to be discussed at this event include the outcome of the meeting in April and the ongoing drafting of the "Greenprint." The webinar will take place on May 21, 2013 at 12:30 p.m., Central Time.
