Ha, that's awesome. I play with my fiance sitting across from me, I tank and she heals, and it's really the best way to play the game. I couldn't imagine playing with 6 other people though, I'm sure it'd get pretty chaotic at times. Not that that's a BAD thing! It'd be a hell of a lot of fun.
Two other players in my guild are a couple as well, and just the two couples playing together has a great chemistry. The only downside is when either couple has a spat it tends to bring everyone down. We all agree to put aside minor issues for the raid's sake, and being that the four of us make up the core of the raid we pretty much have to or nothing would get done. Still, everyone gets a little down when one of us are unhappy. You can just tell from how tense Vent can be. If you have eight people in a room together and one of them says something to piss another one off, I imagine it wouldn't be very good for the raid. People tend to take sides and with that many people the sides would be ugly.
All and all I know I heavily criticized the last 15 Minutes article for being irrelevant, but this is what kind of article I like. It's people who play the game in a unique fashion, by raiding in the same room instead of on Vent. And that's really something cool that I've only heard of at LAN parties or in smaller groups and I think more people should raid together like this.

You know this isn't far off base. I and my wife both play WoW on Macs. But the real interesting thing to me is that I think people vastly underestimate the number of players on Macs.
We've been playing since beta, and in -every- group where OS platform has been mentioned there's been at least one other player on a Mac. In all our guilds I'd say probably %30 of the people have been Mac users. This was surprisingly true of the largest guild we were ever in (> 200 people, well over 500 characters) and the smallest ones we've been in. (The largest guild we were in also had multiple people switch to MacBook Pro's while we were in it as their main machines).
Now I'm sure on a worldwide basis the number of Mac players isn't as high, but the sheer number of other Mac users we've run in to in the game makes me think that the platform is bringing in a lot more money than Blizzard would admit to. And none of the Mac players have a MMO to switch to. The other modern MMO's that are out on the Mac are all running under Cider afaik, and honestly that means they're not nearly as playable on my older Mac as WoW is.

We offer free computer classes that provide hands-on training to adults. We'll make you more confident when using computers in the library, at work, at home or when looking for a job. Most classes are held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.
The majority of our scheduled computer classes are currently offered on a walk-in basis (no registration required, except where indicated). Seats will be filled on a first-come, space available basis. We highly recommend that you arrive on time for the classes you wish to attend.
One or more of our classes may require online registration. These classes will contain a register link when you click the class title. Click the register link to start your registration for that particular class.
Please consult the library calendar or the Computer Class Calendar brochure to find a class. The computer classes FAQ can answer many of your questions. If you can't find the answer to your question there, please contact Desire Grogan at email@example.com or 202-727-1298.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Classes
- How often are classes offered?
- Do I have to register to attend?
- What happens if I am late for class?
- How do I find the latest schedule?
- Where do I go for class?
- Class canceled: What do I do?
How often are classes offered?
Free computer classes are offered on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Classes are advertised on a monthly basis about one week before the first of the month. From month to month, class times vary in order to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening attendance during the library's hours of operation. Each class is a one-time workshop and is scheduled for two to three hours of instruction and hands-on training. For this reason, customers are encouraged to repeat a class several times, in order to strengthen their skills, before moving on to the next level of classes. Our year-round schedule allows for this kind of repetition in the learning process.
Do I have to register to attend?
No, you do not have to register. All classes are available on a walk-in basis only. This means that seats will be filled on a first-come, space-available basis. There may be certain classes in the future that require registration. These classes will receive special notations both on the Web site and in the monthly calendar brochure. Seniors are welcome in all classes!
What happens if I am late for class?
Even though all classes are available on a walk-in basis, we highly recommend that you arrive on time for the class you wish to attend. Some classes may fill up, and then you will not be able to get a seat. Though latecomers may be admitted to the computer lab if there is space, it is with the understanding that the trainer will not be repeating covered material. This would be unfair to those who arrived on time. Please be on time!
How do I find the latest schedule?
About one week before the upcoming month of classes, the schedule of computer classes is distributed in brochure format to neighborhood libraries throughout the city. It is also available at the Central Information Desk at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (Main Branch). This same schedule is also posted on the library's Web site. Please consult the current schedule of computer classes in order to choose the class (es) you wish to attend.
Where do I go for class?
All classes at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (MLK) are held in our Computer Lab (Room 311), located on the third floor at 901 G St. N.W. The library is accessible from both the Metro Center station on the Red, Orange and Blue lines (11th Street exit) and from the Gallery Place Station on the Red, Green and Yellow lines (9th Street exit).
The nearest paid parking is available on 8th Street (PEPCO Building) and on H Street between 9th and 10th streets.
Class Canceled: What do I do?
Due to circumstances outside the library's control, a scheduled class may sometimes be canceled. When we find out about a cancellation in time, we will leave a message on the computer class information line, 202-727-1298. The word "Canceled" will also be placed next to the class title on the online calendar. Sometimes, we may have to cancel a class because of a last-minute, emergency situation. We apologize if this happens. If you arrive to discover that a class has been canceled, please feel free to walk in on another class of the same or different type during the month.
If there is stormy weather, please call 202-727-1111 to find out if the library is open. Thank you, in advance, for your patience.

10 things to do after selling your home
Even after your buyer has the keys, you can still save — or lose — money.
By Michele Dawson, realtor.com
You've sold your house: Escrow has closed, and you've handed your keys to the new owners. But while the deal is done, you have a few more things to do. In "House Selling for Dummies," authors Eric Tyson and Ray Brown lay out things you can do to save money and increase your peace of mind, post-sale. Here are 10 of their tips.
1. Keep copies of all paperwork related to the closing and settlement. Although it might be tempting to shred the paperwork or put it in storage, you'll want to have it handy for April 15. When you file your taxes, you'll need documentation for the expenses and proceeds of the sale. And after you file your return, you'll want to keep the paperwork in case you're audited.
Post continues below
2. Keep proof of improvements and prior purchases. This is for tax purposes, too. The IRS allows you to add the cost of improvements to your home's cost basis during the time you own the home, which is nice if you have a sizable capital gain. But to use this tax provision, you need to keep receipts for everything you spent on home improvement.
3. Stay on top of tax laws. Because tax laws constantly change, you'll want to keep current to avoid losing money. For example, a recent law allows you to exclude from tax a significant portion of the profits from the sale of your primary residence.
4. Put your proceeds in a money market fund. If you sell and then don't immediately buy, you'll need a safe place to put your money. A money market mutual fund offers safety, a reasonable rate of return, daily access to your money and check-writing privileges.
5. Choose your next home carefully. Scope out a variety of areas and housing options that meet your family's needs.
6. Don't feel pressured to buy. Take your time purchasing your next home; rent for awhile if you'd like extra time or want to try an area out first before buying. "Keep in mind that you have two years to defer tax on your house-sale profits," Tyson and Brown write.
7. Re-evaluate your personal finances. If your situation changes before you buy another house — you get a promotion, have a baby, go through a divorce — you'll need to rethink your finances and how much you can afford to pay for your new house.
8. Think about what you need from an agent to help you buy. Carefully consider whether the agent who helped sell your house can meet your needs when you're buying. Buying and selling require different skills. And, if you're moving to a new area, you may want someone familiar with the area.
9. Think through your next down payment. Tyson and Brown recommend putting at least 20 percent down on your next house in order to qualify for the best mortgage programs. If you can afford more than 20 percent, consider whether it's better to put that money in the down payment or to invest the money elsewhere. "Younger homebuyers willing to take on more investment risk should lean toward a 20 percent down payment, whereas older homebuyers, who tend to invest less aggressively, should opt for larger down payments," the pair recommends.
10. Remember to send change-of-address notices. The Postal Service recommends you complete your change of address 30 days before you move.

Movie night...waheeeyyyy!1 Reviews
Everyone goes 'round Gerard's to watch a movie, cus thats what normal kids do :)
I forced my key into the lock as fast as I could and opened the door, shutting it behind me. I turned around and saw David standing there, no expression shown on his face.
"I told you to come home." He stated, his anger now vaguely showing on his face.
I nodded quickly. "I-I know. I j-jus w-was we I-I w-wa-" my stuttering was cut off by the back of David's hand hitting my cheek.
"SHUT IT!" he shouted. "YOU DIDN'T COME HOME BECAUSE YOU WERE FUCKING HIM!" he brought his face close to mine and his voice lowered, yet it seemed more threatening and fearful. "And let me tell you, if you so much as dare look him in the eye again, you can say bye-bye to your sweet innocent Gerard." His waved his hand as a goodbye while he spoke. "YOU HEAR ME!?" he shouted again.
I nodded, tears stinging my eyes.
"Good." He said, punching me in the stomach and walking into the living room.
I clutched my stomach and backed up to the door, sliding down it.
I couldn't speak to Gerard. I couldn't let David hurt him, because I know he would. I didn't want anything to happen to Gerard. Why did I have to get close to him? Or anyone!?
When the pain in my middle died down, I got up of the floor and ran upstairs and into the bathroom, jumping in the shower.
I sat in front of my cracked mirror and switched off my straightener. I stared at the girl looking back at me. Her ugly face matched my ugly personality.
I rubbed against my wrists, feeling the sting from just slashing at them and hissing at it.
I scrambled over to my bed and reached under it, pulling out my rollups. I put one to my lips and lit it with my lighter, inhaling the smoke. I smoked it fast, waiting for the effect to hit me quickly, to make the pain stop. I'm still waiting for that to happen, ever since I started to need this.
I got the light headed feeling quickly, but I still felt the pain, it didn't die down at all, it still felt the same.
I stood outside my gate, I ran outside as soon as I realised David might be able to smell the smoke. Even though I could just pass it off as cigarettes, he would know. He can tell when I'm lying, even when I don't know I am.
It was only half seven, I had to be in school in an hour, I had time. I walked down the road, took a few turns to find the park. I headed for my usual spot, a bench hidden in trees. A few little kids use to use that as their little hideout, but I scared them off. It's my hideout now.
I sat on the bench and took out the fat zoot I just rolled and brought it to my lips. This should make it stop, or at least help it stop I thought as I lit up the joint. It was sharp on my throat when I inhaled, there was way too much weed and too little tobacco in this. I had to keep relighting it after a few pulls, it kept going out.
I felt so free and lightheaded as I walked out the park. The bad things didn't seem to matter anymore, they were still there though, I just didn't seem to care about them.
As I walked on the curb of the footpath, falling offalmost every couple of steps, then just laughing at myself.
"Stacie!" shouted a familiar cheerful voice. How could you be this cheerful in the morning, well unless you're me of course, but I did have a pretty good reason for it. There was only one person who could be that cheerful.
I turned around to see Frank – looking adorable in his school uniform – running up to me with a smile on his face. He ran to me with open arms and hugged me, to which I hugged back cus he was just so adorable and happy.
He pulled away and gave me an exaggerated confused look. "Are you feeling okay?" he reached up and place his palm on my forehead.
"What does nurse Frank think is the problem?" I ask, smirking, then laughing at my own lame 'joke'.
Frank frowned as he took his hand away from my forehead. "Hhhhmmmmm seems like you have a very high temperature, and seem to being on some kind of drug?" he said in an English accent.
I giggled. "Yeah…drug…I have a high temperature!?" I shrieked. The last thing I needed at the moment in time was to be ill.
Frank giggled. aaawwwww I thought. "Just a little bit, probably from the druugggssss." He said, rather weirdly.
I just giggled and put my finger up to my lips. "Sssshhhhhh." I whispered. "They'll find out."
Frank looked genially confused. "Who?"
"…I don't know." I burst into a fit of giggles, holding onto Frank for support.
"What? You are high?" Frank asked, not as confused as he was a few seconds before.
I attempt not to smile, trying to look innocent, but I failed, giggling instead of just smiling. "Okay, you got me." I said, holding my hands up defensively, failing at holding back my giggles.
Frank rolled his eyes and shook his head. "You shouldn't do that shit, but it's your choice and you are older than me, as long as you know it's bad for you." He stuck his tongue out at me and giggled.
I giggled as well because Frank's giggle is just way too contagious. "Whatever." I said through my giggles.
I talked to Frank for about ten minutes before he had to carry on walking to school, well, when I say talk, it was just Frank laughing at me attempting to form a sentence while giggling. I waved bye to Frank as he walked off.
I started to walk in the direction of the school; there was no harm in being early.
I decided to pick up where I left off before my conversation with Frank, stepping onto the curb and trying not to fall off as I walked. At one point, I fell off the curb and tripped over my foot, almost sending me face first onto the road, but someone caught me.
I looked up to see a very tired looking Gerard. "Whoa, you do know you have the shittest balance ever right?" he said as he helped me take my own weight. "I've been watching you as I was walking up the road, quite a funny sight actually." He chuckled a bit.
I was still giggling, and I outstretched my arms as I placed my hands over my mouth.
Gerard gave me a puzzled look. "Your eyes…?" he trailed off, trying to get a better look, moving closer to me.
I shook my head a bit, covering my eyes with my fringe. "And yours are gorgeous." I said, smiling as I stared at them.
"So are yours, but-" he was cut off by me shoving the palm of my hand into his nose. He clutched his nose as I giggled at him.
"It's not nice to lie!" I shouted through my giggles.
"Shit! Stacie!?" he half shrieked. "What have you taken!?" he asked after bringing his face so close to mine, shoving my fringe out of the way to look at my eyes.
I giggling and moved back a bit. "Personal space you pedo!" I shrieked.
Gerard mocked a shocked face and gasped. "I'm no pedo." he giggled. "But seriously, what have you taken?" he asked, looking rather serious.
Gotta admit, he looked even more gorgeous when he was serious…wow. I started to giggle.
"Stacie?" he looked me in the eyes, concern plastered all over his gorgeous face. His eyes sparkled in the sunlight, they looked beautiful.
I was still giggling, but it died down a little bit as I spoke. "Gerard, I never noticed how beautiful you were." I said, just smiling as I stared at his face.
Gerard straightened up to his height and sighed. "There is no way you're going to school being this high." He said, rubbing his forehead.
I gasped and placed a hand over my mouth. "I'm not high! Why would you accuse me, an innocent little girl, of being high?" I started to giggle half way through my sentence, I couldn't hold a straight face to save my life.
"That's why." He said, talking about my giggling.
"Oh." I said through more giggles.
Gerard sighed again. "Come on, you'd better come back to mine." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me onto the pavement, just as a car drove past. "Can't have you out on the streets like this."
I looked up at him, confused. "But what about schooool?" I forced all my bodyweight on Gerard as I dragged out the last word. I notice him stumble, but then he repositioned himself to get a better balance.
He laughed. "You're seriously thinking of going school stoned out of your fucking head?" he looked down at me, an eyebrow raised.
I was still looking up at him with the confused expression on my face. "Yeah?" it was more of a question than an answer.
He laughed again and shook his head. "Well I don't think you'd be able to notice a crowd of jocks coming towards you if you can't notice a speeding car on the street." He pulled me towards the direction of his house.
I didn't really understand what he was talking about. I don't know what's the connection of the jocks at school, to a speeding car, which somehow relates to me not going school. Is Gerard stoned too? I laughed out loud at my thoughts, getting a worried look from Gerard. I shrugged it off and allowed him to drag me to his house.
I sat on Gerard's bed, looking at his comic books. I wasn't reading them, or even following what the story was about, I was just staring at the colours. They were bold and clashing colours and just looked amazing. I love looking at comics or any kind of bright coloured pictures when I'm stoned. It just makes you appreciate colours more.
Gerard came down the stairs with two packets of biscuits and coffee. "Thought you might be hungry – or have the munchies – in the state you're in." he said, giggling.
I just smiled. He knew me too well – or someone stoned too well but that's beside the point. I wasn't even hungry; I just wanted food, and lots of it.
Gerard handed me a pack of biscuits, which I opened at started stuffing myself with whatever would fit in my mouth. I finished one packet really quickly – I didn't keep track of time, why would I? I had food and that's all that mattered.
I looked up at Gerard and smiled again. "Cheers mister." I said, hugging him.
"Haha you're welcome missy. Would you like some more?" he asked, holding the other pack of biscuits up in the air.
I nodded and took the pack, opening it and taking out handfuls of biscuits and stuffing them in my mouth. They tasted nom. That's all I have to say.
Then something occurred to me. I wasn't meant to be here. For mine and Gerard's sakes, especially Gerard's, I wasn't meant to be here. I don't want David to hurt Gerard. I really don't. I can't have anything happen to Gerard and it be my fault.
I stood up. "I can't be here." I mumbled and started in the direction of Gerard's door.
"What?" Gerard asked, grabbing my wrist and pulling me back. "Why not?"
I felt tears in my eyes as I might have to tell Gerard the truth. "I jus can't. He'll hurt you and then me." I whispered, attempting to turn around.
Gerard's face was full of confusion and worry. "What? Who will?"
I felt hot tears fall down my cheeks. "I jus can't-" my voice cracked and I couldn't finish my sentence. I started to sob, fearing David, fearing the fact that he'll find me and hurt Gerard, then me.
Gerard's arms wrapped themselves around my body, resting my head on his chest as he stroked my hair, shushing me. "It's fine, no one's gonna hurt you. Sshhh."
I carried on crying. David was going to hurt me. No matter what. He'll find me in Gerard's house and then hurt us both.
"He's gonna hurt us Gerard." I cried into his chest. Gerard just shushed me again. I began to cough and my breathing because restricted. I pulled away from Gerard and pushed my hand against my chest. I coughed and struggled to breathe, still sobbing.
"Fuck. Stacie, you're having a panic attack. Wait there I'll get you some water." The words poured out of Gerard's mouth so fast I'm surprised my mind was able to register what he said.
I sat on Gerard's bed, waiting for whatever was happening to stop. It felt like there was no air going to my lungs.
Gerard came in with a glass of water. Be pushed it up to my face and helped me hold the glass as I drank the water.
It helped, Id stopped coughing and was just able to breath properly, I was only hiccupping as I carried on crying.
Gerard sat down on his bed beside me and placed his arms around my shoulders, pulling me into him. He rocked me back and forth, humming Nirvana. I loved sitting here with Gerard. He was so warm, so secure. I felt safe, just with him holding me. He made the pain go away.
It was almost five in the evening now and I was still at Gerard's house. We did the usual stuff, played the PlayStation, wrestled, and then I fell asleep on his bed for about two hours, as you do.
We were currently sitting at the kitchen. I had poured salt out on the countertop, writing 'Gerard, stop wasting the salt XD'. I looked up at him, giggling. He was talking to be about why he got a detention once for spitting on some girl. I was really listening to his story in detail though, I was waiting for him to notice what I did, but he would just look everywhere apart from where I'd written it.
The doorbell rang. I turned around as Gerard went to open the door. Frank, Bob and Ray were coming over for a 'movie night' which I had invited myself to since Gerard decided to just tell me about and not ask if I wanted to come, yet as me what I prefer us watching tonight.
Frank ran through the door, not even bothering to say anything to Gerard. He threw his bag on the sofa as he ran into the kitchen and jumped up in the air as he attacked me with a hug. "HI STACIEEEE!" he screeched in my ear, unnaturally high for a guy who's voice is already broken.
"Hello Frankie." I giggled. "Am I allowed to breath or not?" I asked, holding his ribs as I attempted to pull him off.
He giggled. "you're much funner when you're high." he let go of me, poking my tummy. I poked his nose in return.
"Fuck you." I giggled and pointed to my salt project. Frank looked at it. "That's been there for a while, and he hasn't noticed." I giggled.
Frank laughed and grabbed the salt, drawing a penis with it; I was expecting something like that to come from him.
I burst into laughter as Frank skipped off to say hello to Gerard. I followed and said hi to Mikey.
"Hi Stacie." He replied with a big smile on his face. I hadn't seen that kid smile so much since I first met him.
"What's got you so happy four-eyes?" I said, poking his chest, giggling.
Mikey just smiled wider and walked upstairs to his room.
I gave Bob and hug and went to hug Ray, but was just mesmerised by his afro. It was beautiful. I just had to touch it. Maybe is should ask first…too late, my hand was already sucked into his ever growing bush on top of his head.
"Hello to you too, Stacie." Laughed Ray.
I snapped out of my trance. "Sorry, I'm still a little stoned, hello." I giggled.
Ray just rolled his eyes and followed Bob into the kitchen. Frank had gone missing – no surprises there – so that just left me and Gerard, again. He just stood there with his hands in his pockets, waiting for something to happen.
I knew he wasn't going to say anything, but I couldn't be bothered to start up a conversation, so I just picked up a scatter cushion off the sofa and threw it at him, then walked off into the kitchen to see what Bob and Ray were up to.
Bob was looking in all the cupboards and the fridge, most likely looking for food, Ray was doing the same.
"Don't you have any food, Gerard?" Bob shouted from the kitchen.
I giggled and sat on the kitchen table (actually on the table, not a chair). Gerard walked in and moved Bob out the way of the fridge. He took out some waffles and pancakes.
"Ma made these this morning, but me and Mikey weren't that hungry. They might taste a bit funny cus you're gonna have to heat em up." Gerard said, handing the plate to Bob.
"I'm hungry. Taste doesn't always matter." Bob stated.
"Heat some up for me as well, Bob." Ray said, taking a seat at the table.
Gerard took a seat as well. "yeah, do some for Frank and Mikey. And me." He looked at me. "You want some as well?"
I shook my head. "I'm okay, thanks." I mumbled.
Bob turned around to look at me. "Stacie, don't you ever eat?" they all laughed.
I shook my head. "Nope. Unless I'm high, that's a different story." I said, shrugging my shoulders.
"Hurry up Bob, I'm hungry." Ray whined, poking Bob's stomach.
"Okay! Okay! I'm doing it!" Bob said, started to heat the food up.
"I'll go get them too." I mumbled, jumping off the table and running upstairs to Mikey's room.
I was standing outside Mikey's room, just about to knock at the door and open it, but I heard him and Frank talking. They were sort of whispering, and I know I shouldn't have, but I listened in on their conversation – or what was left of it.
"Did you talk to her in science class, then?" Frank's whisper could be heard a mile off.
Mikey giggled. "Yes, we were put together as lab partners because her old one kept dipping her hair in the beakers."
Frank squealed, then I heard a bang. "Ouch! Don't get too excited!" that was Mikey, sounding rather annoyed.
"Sorry, this is just so exciting, you're gonna have your first girlfriend!" Frank squealed. He probably jumped on Mikey, which is what the bang was.
"Hey! She won't be my first!" Mikey argued.
Frank sighed. "Dancing with some random girl at a party, then talking to her the next day, doesn't make her your girlfriend. It just makes you a stalker if you think that, and the way you kept running after her seemed a little desperate if you ask me." Frank giggled.
"Fine, she doesn't count." Mikey sighed in disappointment.
Frank squealed again. "So what did you too talk about!?" sometimes I wonder is Frank is even a guy.
"I can't really remember, we were just talking about the work and the task. She's just so….I dunno, but I kept stuttering every time I spoke to her." Mikey said, I could imagine the big fat grin from earlier on still on his face.
By this time, I opened the door, without knocking. "So, does she have a name?" I asked, walking over and sitting because Frank on Mikey's bed, Mikey was sitting on his computer chair.
Mikey's face, within the instant I mentioned her name, went the colour of beetroot. "We'', she um, her name's um…I don't wanna say." He looked so adorable, I wanted to pick him up and put him in my pocket.
I patted his shoulder. "Keepin' her to yourself I see." I winked at him and giggled.
Mikey just smiled, looking a bit dazed.
"He won't tell me her name, but she's all he talks about to me, but he's never actually had a proper conversation with her until today." Frank giggled.
"Ge'in there, Mikey." I mocked, punching the blushing boy's shoulder.
"I have spoken to her a few times before, but not like…a conversation lasting more than a minute." He looked down, obviously embarrassed.
I ruffled his hair. "Well I'm sure when she finds out what a lovely boy you are, she'll fall for you."
Frank started sniffing. I looked at him, his nose was up in the air.
"What do I smell?" he asked, concentrating on his nose.
"Oh yeah, that would be the pancakes and waffles I came upstairs to tell you about." I giggled.
Frank was out of the room before I'd even finished my sentence.
Me and Mikey stood up and walked down the stairs.
"Um, can you not tell anyone…about that girl…please." Mikey asked, looking so shy and still red.
I ruffled his hair again. "Your secret is safe with me…and Frank." I giggled.
We were all in Gerard's room, watching some thriller. I couldn't be bothered to check out the name, all I gathered from the movie so far was some guy stalking some lady he had found out so much about her and she hadn't a clue who he was.
Bob was lying on the floor, Ray was sitting cross legged on the floor, Mikey and Frank were sitting on Gerard sofa, and me and Gerard were sitting on his bed.
The film was quite good, completely messed up though, but it was still alright.
I looked up at Gerard. "What's the time?" I asked, for no reason in particular, just wanted to know the time.
Gerard checked his watch. "Quarter past six, need to be anywhere?"
I shook my head and looked back at the television, "no, jus wanted the time." I mumbled.
It came to the point in the film where the guy actually met the girl at the bar, and took her back to his place, her being unaware of what he wanted. The lights in the living room where dim, then he started to grope her. She slapped him, and his face turned red. He started hitting her, punching and kicking her.
I gripped Gerard's arm, this movie wasn't pleasant.
He threw her down on the floor of the living room and started to undo his belt buckled and unfasten his jeans. She started to scream, aware of what the man was going to do to her, but he hit hair again and told her to keep her mouth shut. She then just cried, accepting what was about to happen to her.
Throughout this part of the movie I had gotten closer and closer to Gerard, a sense of security. I didn't want to tell them to turn it off; they were clearly enjoying the story. So I just sat there, hoping this bit would end quicker. I looked up at Gerard, his jaw was clenched, making it look like he wasn't enjoying the film either.
Back to the movie; the man had taking off her underwear and was just about ready to penetrate her, when she screamed one last time. He slapped her across the face, her cheek his the ground and blood started to poor out her mouth. Then the camera moved to an angle, showing the back of the man. He was moving his hips, thrusting himself into her as she screamed.
I was terrified. The scene was still playing, the man hitting her as he fulfilled his needs.
I felt vile. I let go of Gerard and jumped off the bed. I jumped over Bob and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. I poured out all of my insides into the toilet bowl as tears streamed down my face.
"Turn that shit off!" Gerard shouted, his voice was coming closer to the bathroom. The door knocked, so I presumed it was him who did it. "Stacie? Do you want me to come in?" he sounded very patronising.
I didn't answer, I just hurled a bit more into the toilet as more tears fell down my face.
The door handle clicked and Gerard opened the door a very small bit, he squeezed through the small gap he'd made and sat own on the floor next to me. He rubbed my back. "Need someone to hold your hair back?" he asked.
I spat in the toilet. "Fuck off." I said, hurling once again into the toilet.
"God, Stacie." Gerard pulled my hair out of my face as I puked.
I was pretty sure I was done getting rid of the biscuits from earlier, so I sat down on the floor as Gerard let go of my hair. I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and my eyes with the other sleeve as I sniffled. I couldn't look at him; I just stared at the floor.
"Sorry Stacie, I didn't know what was on that movie, Bob brought it over." Gerard said, moving closer to me, probably about to give me a hug, but I moved away slightly, indicating I didn't want him to get too close to me. He used his common sense and sat back down, just closer to me that before.
I sniffed again. "I-its fine. Think it was jus what I took earlier." I said, wiping my eyes again, the tears wouldn't stop.
Gerard sighed. "That isn't it, though, is it?" Gerard asked, his piercing hazel eyes trying to make eye contact with me.
I shifted my eyes to meet his, but didn't move my head. He quickly broke the eye contact, obviously uncomfortable from my menacing look.
"I've got ta go." I mumbled, standing up and walking out the toilet door. I picked my stuff up from Gerard's room and walked up the stairs. Everyone just stared at me and didn't say a word.
I slammed the front door on my way out.
I ran home, I had to be there before David got back, I couldn't deal with another night of the physical and mental pain he puts me through.
I unlocked the door as fast as I could, ran upstairs, threw my school bag on the floor and grabbed some joints from under my bed.
Running back downstairs, I grabbed my keys from the still opened door and shut it, and headed for the park, my nightly getaway.
So um yeah, that's what you've all been waiting for…..kinda shit….sorry :/ xxx

To an ordinary first year girl, a senior guy alone is a god, but when it's not only a senior guy, its the football star senior guy, it's like a cinderella story. Every first year student dreams of having their first real relationship. Some wait for that special someone, and some just jump on the first boat that comes along. When a senior guy decides he has a crush on a first year girl, things get said and rumors get spread.
I was falling in love
I was falling so fast
it was your amazing smile

Being in his arms was great
But it was something we used to do
Then it hit me-
He treats me right
He treats me good
He treats me perfectly
Like you never could

There's a Star of David on the c. 1300 illumination for the Duke of Sussex Pentateuch and in it there's an elephant. The book is located nowadays in the British Library in London.
On page 61 in his book Dreams of Subversion in Medieval Jewish Art and Literature (1997) Marc Michael Epstein claims that in the beginning of the 14th century for medieval German Jews the Star of David represented the Torah.
The Duke of Sussex's German Pentateuch was written and illuminated by a scribe-artist known as Hayyim, working in southern Germany around 1300
I found on the WWW two pages out of five of this illumination but couldn't find the one Marc Michael Epstein talks about. Anyhow his theory is worth consideration and that's why I decided to include it in this blook.

German Pentateuch
Posted by zeevveez at 9:00 PM 0 comments
Messianic Seal
In 1990 Tech Otecus, an old monk who lived as a hermit in the Old City of Jerusalem, showed Ludwig Schneider, editor of "Israel today" magazine, a collection of artifacts he found in a cave on Mount Zion. On some of these artifacts there was engraved a Star of David between a Menorah at the top and a fish at the bottom. Otecus said that in the 1960s he had personally excavated about 40 artifacts bearing the Messianic Seal from an ancient grotto located in Mount Zion. The Israeli Museum never published these findings. Maybe they suspected they are faked.
Faked or not the Messianic Jews use this symbol as their logo, and explain that the Star of David stands for Judaism while the fish stands for Jesus.

Does more technology decrease a person's ability?
Although we have unlimited information available instantly, can communicate instantly, create products with less labor at higher tolerances. It appears that people have less ability to focus and handle real world problems?

Apr 5 2012: No, I can say with absolute confidence that more technology does not decrease a person's ability. The simple fact that tachnology makes things easier to accomplish tasks allows us to spend more time finding the next step rather than relearning the first step with each new generation. Just look at how fast we have developed since we started to document things.
This leap frogging effect of benefitting from past generation development only becomes a bad thing if we stop documenting the steps or the steps are lost. Not documenting the steps of the discover will never happen. Now, let's pretend that in 30 years in the future the Internet crashes and all digital life is suddenly gone. Let's also pretend that for the last 20 years everything was documented digitally. The last 20 years of development is now lost forever unless you are one of the people who understood the development of the steps during the lost 20 year. In this situation, yes, technology decreased individual ability.
So, what I'm saying is only in the event of lost technology is a person's ability hindered.

It was in need of a good brush! I Didn't have a guide so I went direct no arete. Nick couldn't crimp direct and ended up using the arete; at the time we didn't know if that was on route or not but turned out it goes to the arete and then up.

A few weeks ago we talked about the awesome site Grooveshark Playlists, that posts very diverse playlists more than every day. Not only does it help us all find new music, but you can even submit a playlist you put together to get featured.
Recently I discovered that some of our friends over at reddit have made an entire section dedicated to posting and discussing groups of tunes on Grooveshark. The subreddit Grooveshark Playlists doesn't quite get the same amount of action that my favorite Tumblr does, but it's still pretty cool—and if you're a reddit user (like me), it's doublecool.
Since the addition of Community Feeds to Grooveshark, I've been finding more music than ever—all from my friends. On top of that, checking out the Recently Active tab lets you see a feed of all sorts of different users interacting with Grooveshark.
The only problem? Nobody has a profile pic! So go to Grooveshark (logged in), and check out your Settings, where you can add a spiffy, nice picture of yourself! Pretty please!
I've only been blogging here for a quick few months, and have enjoyed every bit of it. You guys are awesome, and I'm excited to keep going on Tumblr.
But what I want to know is who you like following, in honor of Tumblr Tuesday! Any awesome bands, companies, music blogs, or anything else you love and think Grooveshark would get along with? Leave a link and help Grooveshark get into the community!
From our badass friend down-under Christian Craik come these two awesome new Grooveshark backgrounds.
And another nifty one:
Pretty awesome! All sizes: Background 1 and Background 2.
Two unrelated thing! Awesome guy Mikkin is wondering if anyone has any great playlists of Bollywood music. Can anyone help him out? Post one! Make one!
Also, Lachlan made a nifty little Grooveshark cursor that makes the cursor on your computer, well, Grooveshark-ified! Neat!
Last week I randomly discovered a new Tumblr that only posts new, awesome playlists from Grooveshark! Grooveshark Playlists posts all kinds of different genre, mood, and even festival lineup playlists everyday and is definitely worth checking out and following.
The coolest part is that it is you-friendly, so anyone can go and submit a playlist to be posted to the entire community! AWESOME.
Go visit! Go submit! They're even on Facebook and Twitter so you can get frequent new tunes in your feeds!
We just released a new Grooveshark extension, thanks to Groove-minnow James Hartig. Right now, if you already have Grooveshark open and then someone shares a song with you, it will open up another tab of Grooveshark, load the site, then start playing the tune. This makes it so that the song will open up in the instance of Grooveshark you already have running.
Here's how it works:
Make it so song links sent to you will always open in your browser—in one single tab. Already have Grooveshark open? Click a song link, and it'll pull up the tune in the tab which is already running the site. If you're a VIP, you can also specify whether you prefer Preview, or regular ol' Grooveshark.
VIPs also have the option to make song links open Grooveshark Desktop. Whenever someone shares a Grooveshark song link with you through email, IM, Twitter or anywhere else, it'll open up the song right in Grooveshark Desktop—rather than opening a new tab in your browser. Note: make sure you have GSHelper installed and running.
Try it out!

Marathon International Bonefish Tournament
For more than 50 years, this challenge awards individual and team champions scoring the largest bonefish and permit, the top anglers in fly and grand slam divisions (for the top spin or fly angler who releases the largest bonefish, permit and tarpon "slam"), as well as the tongue-in-cheek "wet pants" champion titles for anglers wading from shore. The event is one of the few tournaments where anglers can fish without a professional guide. Notable and celebrity participants have included crooner Perry Como during the early 1960s, former U.S. Rep. Dante Fascell, Broadway actor David Wayne and Heublein Inc. magnate John Martin of A-1 Sauce fame.

Michigan hockey player Steve Kampfer just got out of the hospital for an off-ice incident. After Saturday night's game against rival Michigan State, he headed right back. Here's a description of the incident from MLive blog:
"But the period also turned ugly with 53 seconds left. Michigan defenseman Steve Kampfer, playing along the boards in his own zone, was checked and clothes-lined from behind by Andrew Conboy, who appeared to slam Kampfer to the ice. As Kampfer fell, MSU's Corey Tropp appeared to whack him in the neck area with his stick. Kampfer had knocked Tropp off his feet in a head-on collison in open ice moments before.
As Kampfer lay motionless face-first on the ice, a fight ensued among players, and Tropp was ejected and Conboy received two roughing penalties.
Kampfer, who returned to action less than a month ago after suffering a fractured skull and back injuries during an on-campus assault in October, was helped off the ice by teammates Chad Langlais and David Wohlberg, unable to stand up straight.
After the game, Kampfer was seen being transported via gurney to an ambulance with a brace around his neck. No further details on Kampfer were available. Berenson refused to comment, saying he didn't see the play unfold."As Bruce Ciskie from Fanhouse points out, this might all be avoided if the NCAA allowed fighting. In the pros, if someone takes issue with a hit, clean or not, there is the option to drop the gloves and settle things right there. In college, lacking such an option, players feel the need (and the right) to take things into their own hands, no matter how wrong they are.
This is no justification for the actions of Tropp and Conboy. In fact, I condemn their actions, and I hope they receive a harsh punishment for this. But if Tropp had the chance to just trade a few punches with Kampfer, and call it a day. Instead, they resorted to literally hitting a man while he was down, and Kampfer ended up right back in the hospital.

Calvin and Hobbes is one of my all-time favorite comic books and never fails to make me laugh! Here are easy ways to look like Calvin and Susie Derkins. Be sure to bring along your stuffed buddy. And your imagination!
This can actually work as an adorable couple's costume idea, too.
Dress up as Calvin
Calvin. How do I begin describing him? He's just quite the character! Even in his simple striped shirt and black shorts outfit, you will be recognized by many because Calvin happens to be one of the most beloved comic book characters ever created. If you'd like a fun spin on your costume, wear his Stupendous Man getup then yell: S for Stupendous! T for Tiger, ferocity of!
U for Underwear, red! P for Power, incredible! E for Excellent physique!
Oh and be sure you arm yourself with all the Calvin-esque facial expressions (see photo above!)
Blonde Spiked Wig
Calvin's hairdo is spiked in an exaggerated comic way, which is why this wig would work!
Blonde Short Spiked Wig
Again, this one has a cartoonic look to it, and I especially like the color and simplicity of this one, as it mimics the one on the books.
Mens Black & Red Stripes Collared Tee
The shirt Calvin wears every single comic strip, unless he's assuming an alter ego like Spaceman Spiff. In the strip, the shirt is a round-neck rather than a collared one, but this is the closest replica.
Jellycat Bashful Tiger
Calvin is incomplete without his good ol' imaginary buddy, Hobbes! I don't recommend bringing along a live tiger with you to your costume party of course, so this plush one will have to do.
48 inch Red Cape
To come as Stupendous Man, you have to wear a red cape, which in the comic strip, was sewed by his mother (I wonder if she regrets ever making it?)
Red Ski Mask
He wears a red mask to complete his superhero alter ego. In the comics, the mask is only up to the nose, so you might want to cut this up.
Adult Lucha Libre Wrestling Mask
Another option is to wear this Lucha Libre mask (I think Calvin would highly approve of this and create another alter ego out of it!) What makes this a good option is the fact that the mouth area is not hidden so no cutting is required.
Dress up as Susie Derkins
Susie is the girl with cooties. The one who always loses her appetite after hearing about Calvin's lunch for the day. And the girl Calvin might just end up with in the years to come
Cute Bob Style Straight Wig
Susie sports a cute looking bob haircut.
Women's Carhartt Unlined Sandstone Bib Overalls Brown
Susie wears a lot of different-colored overalls. In one of the comic strips, she wears an orange-brown overall on top of a yellow tee
Hanes Cotton T-Shirt
A basic and super affordable top which you'd definitely use during other occasions!
Nursery Peter Rabbit Plush Stuffed Animal
Be sure to bring along Susie's stuffed friend, Mr. Bun, a cute little bunny plush toy. This one is a super cute piece with a jacket!
Jellycat – Bashful Bunny Plush Toy
This one's another cute plush toy.
