Rainy Season1 Reviews
Team 7 is sent to The Hidden Village of the Sand. However traditions to do with the Rainy Season distract them from politics, and Naruto dub himself Gaara's teacher of feeling good. A GaaNaru f...
Sometimes Gaara of the Sand missed the protective armor that was once like a second skin about his body. Sometimes he missed the sand that would throw itself in the way of almost anything that tried to touch him. Without the Shukaku to feed chakra from, he did not have enough to use the techniques as he did before and was left open to any element, any sensation. Sometimes he felt naked against the world without the protective shell of hatred that once encased his life.
During those times either Temari or Kankuro, occasionally both, would come to him sensing his ill ease. They would talk to him about many things, distract him from his frightened thoughts, and sooth his fears of pain. They were always there for him, they...cared for him, his...siblings; his family. And then, he didn't miss the shell of his old life. Physical pain, while felt with alarming frequency, fades, but the pain he had once felt in his heart had never eased.
When those bouts of nervous wishing were not upon him, Gaara marvelled at the people around him. How they could take pain so well, so easily? A pulled muscle was given nothing more then a sharp curse and cuts deep enough to spill blood were laughed at! He simply could not understand; blood wasn't something to laugh at. He didn't blanch at the sight of other people's blood. He never would, nor would scenes of death and carnage frighten him like it did others. But the sight of his own blood was almost more then he could stand. The second time he'd even seen his own blood he panicked. It was a paper cut and the blood was nothing more then a thin red line across his finger. There was a certain feeling of immortality Gaara was used to feeling and every time he saw his own red life he was reminded that he could die. At that time Temari had soothed his fears, washed the line of blood away and wrapped his poor abused digit in a glorious little thing called a 'band-aid'.
Gaara likes to think he's come along way since then. He's no longer seized by the icy grip of fear when he feels the still foreign sensation of pain, though even a stubbed toe or cramped limb will have his eye shining with the tears he refused to shed. It wouldn't do for a Kazekage to cry like a child every time his comfort was shattered by some offending table leg or renegade corner of paper. And he was Kazekage. There has been a council about whether or not he should remain the Sand's leader. Most of the council men and women had made up there minds before the date of meeting. It was up to Gaara to sway the minds of the few unsure to retain his title. They had debated quite thoroughly: he was considerably weakened; enemy villages would certainly make use of his state! No one had put so much effort into creating allies not only around the Sand, but in other countries as well. He wasn't as strong, knowledgeable or experienced as other village leaders. His rule had seen more prosper then his father's. On it went, Gaara sat by quietly, letting them have at each other, until finally it came to the point that they requested (demanded) a show of power from him. He'd been expecting it and had trained as much as possible. So with an effort greater then he let on --one that left him exhausted beyond belief-- he summoned enough sand to be dangerous to swirl about his body.
A few minutes later he left the council fatigued, but satisfied, if he without Shukaku could still summon and control the sands, then he without Shukaku could be Kazekage. With his title intact, his pride intact, his life intact, he began an arduous journey home to his bed. His bed in which he could sleep (glorious sleep!) without fear of losing his soul, trusting that his family would protect him. It was worth any pain, any discomfort, this life he had made for himself, this existence of more then just self-love.
It wasn't long after the council ended that Kankuro found his little brother passed out on the stairs leading to the parliament building's exit, a small but happy smile on the teen's sleeping face.
If it was his sibling's unofficial job to teach Gaara about the true nature of pain (that it was a tool human beings used to gauge the state of their bodies and help them avoid situations that could lead to death) then it was too another that he looked to teach him the true nature of pleasure. For pain and pleasure were inseparable twins of sensation; while he felt not one, the other would avoid him, but now that he was naked to pain, he was too to pleasure. Perhaps it was the Gods' way of making amends for the unpleasantness of pain that they granted pleasure; there certainly was no practical use for it that he could see.
It wasn't planned, nor expected, but as it would turn out, Gaara's tutor in the nature of pleasure would be the same force that had given him his new life. The same creature that had ripped down his shields and brutalized his heart with determination, steadfast defenses and words of full of emotion and hurt (hurt for him) and left him as helpless as a babe in a great sand storm. The creature that was Leaf's team seven. The force that was Uzumaki Naruto.
He came with the rainy season gale, thunder and lightning announcing his arrival fiercely. It only fit; Naruto was a force of nature not unlike the wild and uncontrollable winds, rains that turned the desert from sand to muck and brought life-giving water to the ever thirsty people of the Sand. The woman, Haruno Sakura, was to be Leaf's representative for a certain contract, the terms of which they were still debating. The older man, Hakate Kakashi and Naruto himself were her escorts. A small party; a dangerous one but not one the Sand was upset to see, after all who was it that saved the Kazekage's very life?
Although he didn't altogether understand, Gaara favoured the timing the Leaf nin arrived with. The beginning of the rainy season marked a festival during which no business would be undertaken. Water was so valuable to the Sand that every year they celebrated it for a week without pause. Wine skins were empty of their sweet contents no matter the vintage and clear pure water was drunk as if it were the most expensive aged palm or date wines. Great feasts were held each night during those light-hearted seven days, endless supplies of flat breads, dates and olives, apples grown in a large near-by oasis. Wild ducks hunted from the orchards, live stock carefully herded in small numbers and butchered only for these days, even Sake traded from outside the country as it was impossible to grow rice even in an oasis, was presented. Though most ignored the potent drinks for water. It was during one such feast that Naruto inadvertently gave Gaara his first lesson in pleasure.
The teen's team mates who had arrived promptly, were indulging in some date wine (as they did not often get to drink it in their Village) and Kankuro had even engaged the female in a conversation about poisons, but Naruto was nowhere to be seen. During the feast, when many people were content to sit, talk and sip from their cups lethargically, Gaara had developed a habit of glancing towards the entrance of the great hall. He had hoped to speak with the blond, about what he'd no idea, but the teen did seem to have little difficulty directing the topics conversation, so he hadn't worried over it. The Kazekage wasn't nearly as patient as he pretended to be and added to that a childhood wherein he got what he wanted immediately if not sooner, he decided he would simply have to hunt down the absentminded boy and scold him for being so very late (for making him wait).
The scene he found Naruto in was one he'd not expected. There was a group of children, four or five or so, frolicking in a particularly deep mud puddle, their nervous mother near by watching hawk-like over her brood, occasionally calling out warnings. At the very center of the chaos of little limbs and shrieking giggles was Naruto, his somewhat baggy pant legs rolled up to his thighs, his calves covered in sticky mud. Gaara couldn't think of any way to introduce himself to the situation and in the end he didn't have to. The children paused in their game as if caught doing something they weren't suppose to, nervously bowed, and in unison chanted a greeting.
"Good evening, Kazekage-sama!"
They were still enough (finally) for their mothers to collect them and presumably, take them to get cleaned up for their suppers. That left only Naruto, guilelessly muddy, in the puddle as if grown men (or nearly) always played in puddles.
"Join me."
It wasn't a request, but Gaara wasn't going to accept either way. He explained that he did not fool around in filth -never had. The blond recoiled as if stung. Never? Never? He found the other's exaggerated arm movements almost hypnotic as he was lectured about the benefits of filth, that it was natural to play in puddles. That it felt really good.
"You must, you absolutely must!"
"I won't."
"Gaara, you have a choice: take off your shoes and dive in or get pulled in!"
The blond advanced, his eyes dancing with mischief, as if to prove he'd been good on his word and Gaara found he really didn't have much choice (if he absolutely must, then...). Removing his footwear and rolling up his trousers much like Naruto had done, he stepped forward. The mush around the puddle instantly got itself between his toes, he would frown at it, but the other teen had his hand and was pulling him forward. The cool water was such a contrast to the hot, humid air that his body shook with a shiver that closed his eyes and parted his lips.
"You see, you see, really good, right?"
It was embarrassing... it was humiliating...it was fun. Naruto danced around him as the children had done and Gaara stomped awkwardly once to satisfy the other, but else didn't much move. Only when the red-brown paste on his ankles and calves began to itch and even Naruto began to scratch his legs was it decided they should go in and clean up. And that too felt good. The blond insisted they go back to Gaara's home to do so, even though it was farther away.
"But I want to see where you live! Please!"
And Gaara was swept up in the whirlwind of movement that was Naruto. The teen had drawn a bath in his tub and signaled for the redhead to sit on the edge of it with him. Naruto set to wash his legs right away and Gaara couldn't help but watch. The teen was methodical in his washing, going even so far as to clean the dirt from under his toe nails. The clean, clear water of their lukewarm bath was swiftly turning an opaque reddish that reminded his vaguely of blood, with tiny whirling/spinning/twirling whirlpool movements caused by the boy beside him.
"You'll get a rash if you don't wash up."
With careful circular movements Naruto was washing him, and Gaara tried to protest, but the soft friction on the wash cloth felt good too, and no one had washed him since...(since uncle..) so long. If the Leaf nin had meant to make him feel like a child he didn't show it, not even when he pulled the plug to let the water drain, (swirling, whirling, twirling, like Naruto), or when he dried both their legs at the same time, cloth and skin and strange tingling sensation, keeping him from even trying to protest. And then it was over, the strange moment they had shared, because Naruto was hungry ("Oh man! I skipped dinner! Do you think they have ramen down there?"), and Gaara went to bed, because he couldn't really think of anything better to do then lay on his soft down mattress and not think about the way his legs where still tingling.
He didn't talk to Naruto for a full day after that, in fact he made a point of it. He wouldn't know what to say, except perhaps more. Only he didn't know of what he wanted more. More mud? More baths? More what? Sensation. His mind was a jumble of thoughts, and half formed ideas, and he was glad that he wouldn't have to think of politics for the rest of the week because he'd be humiliated if he pulled up his legs in the middle of a meeting, and rubbed them through his trousers to try and recreate the feeling that had faded in the night. As he was doing now.
Naruto found him the day after that. It was raining steadily, and the streets were nearly overflowing, but Gaara had nearly gone mad trying to figure out the feeling from before, and eventually had wandered into a nearby puddle to see if it was the mud that made the difference. He stomped in it, once, twice, nothing, a sigh.
"Hey, hey..." Naruto's voice behind him, and only the strict training of a ninja had kept him from jumping into the air with fright. Calmly he turned towards the other.
"Did I make you mad?" The blond was sort of timid, like a child waiting to be scolded, it didn't really look right on him.
"No, why?"
"You were avoiding me!" A pout too exaggerated to be taken seriously (that's better).
"What did you do?"
What was it that he did? With mud, and water, and rolling laughter, what was it?
"Did I hurt you?"
Not at all. Gaara explained, or tried to, that it didn't hurt, it felt more then contentment, but it didn't hurt.
"Not everything is supposed to hurt!"
"It isn't?"
Again, as if struck, the boy recoiled. Of course not everything was supposed to hurt, what kind of life would we live if everything hurt and there was no pleasure? How awful!
"You, you don't really live like that do you?" Did he? He didn't hurt all the time, just when it was appropriate, it's not as if he hadn't heard of pleasure, he'd just thought that it was the absence of pain, not something else entirely. And, just as suddenly as Naruto decided everything, he became the boy's project. Again with hypnotic arm movements he was told that the other teen would teach him about feeling good and of having fun ("Because, because, a person can't really live without feeling good!")
So Gaara's lessons began. Swept along in the gale force of Naruto's will he spent the next two weeks -the rest of the festival and the time they needed to debate the contract- indulging in every experience the blond could think of. He was blindfolded and made to eat sweet things slowly, to savor the flavors. "Guess what this is, Gaara" A date, a slice of apple, cinnamon spiced meats, glazed honey cakes, and licorice candies. Some foods fresh from near-by, others preserved and bought from far away places. His sense of taste was enthralled, and then the greatest pleasure; a drink of clear fresh water, to cleanse the pallet, readying it for yet more treats he'd never appreciated before.
They drank undiluted wine until the world was a swirl of colors, and sounds, and judgment was perilously inhibited. They laughed then over anything, everything, until Gaara's sides ached, but it didn't hurt. When Gaara's cup was empty and the bottle nearest him was too, the only source for the sweet drink was Naruto's own cup, he reached for it. Unsteadily he grasped, his hand wrapped around Naruto's, whose hand was wrapped around the cup itself and brought it to his lips. The blonde didn't say anything, strangely contemplative in his drunken state. Gaara drank greedily, dark wine dribbling from the corner of his mouth, tracing a line of color down his neck, a striking contrast to the pale skin. When the cup was empty it was Naruto who pulled it back. Gaara let the cup go with a sigh and lay back upon the divan on which he sat, quite sure that with the wine gone so to was their pleasure for the night. Not so however, for Naruto had followed him down across the divan to bury his face in the crook of Gaara's neck, and lap at the spilled wine there. A gasp, his skin was fevered from the drink, but the other's mouth was hotter still as it lapped and sucked at his flesh until it reached the start of the wine's journey. Naruto kissed him then and it was a pleasure unlike any he'd been shown. Naruto kissed him and he kissed back with all the same hot, messy vigor, until they both took to groaning from the fire of it.
Of course Gaara new what a kiss was and he new too about sex. Though, he'd never thought much of either, never imagined it was as enjoyable as everyone made it out to be. Only, now that he'd kissed and felt was it was like, Gaara was...curious about the rest.
Sometimes Naruto would claim not to have thought of anything, so they would simply talk instead. The blond perhaps unaware of just how wonderful it made Gaara feel just to do that. They'd talk of nothing sort of things, of what it was like to live in their respective countries. Of life in a desert (the heat, the sand, the winds) and what it was like to live in a heavily wooded area (the wet, the cold, the plants). Sometimes they spoke of dark topics, of what it was like to grow up as they did. Of demons and sorrow and things that only the two of them could possibly understand. They didn't talk of kissing or of touching, but when Gaara had enough of words he'd claim Naruto's mouth like it was something they'd always done and they'd not have any more use for talking.
There was a bathhouse in the Sand, it opened only once a year, during the rainy season when water was in abundance enough for people to pay heaps of money to wash off the desert grit. Naruto had presented it to Gaara as if he'd found one of the ancient treasures his country was famous for. The teen had even got a private room for them to enjoy and for the first time (though he didn't say it was) the Kazekage had a formal bath. First soaking in cool waters, rinsing the sand and the day from his sensitive skin. Next warm and soapy. There wasn't any horseplay at this stage, not like the first where in Naruto had swam around and splashed Gaara, coaxing him to splash back. Here the teen took great care in their washing.
"Here let me wash your back, then you can wash mine, right?" They stayed there until the water was a murky sort of color, and their bodies were pink from friction. Suddenly Naruto was out hopping across the warm marble floors, naked as can be, soap suds clinging to his arms and hips and Gaara had no other option but to follow.
The last room was by far the best. Dimly lit to encourage an ambiance of relaxation, the air was warm from the steam, clean and Spartan, but ultimately superior to the flowery, heavily scented soap chamber or the electric playful first chamber. Sinking into the hot water was glorious, truly, though heat was something that was ever present in life in the desert, this was of a different kind altogether. It soothed rather then scorched; it held you in a protective embrace, rather then beat down upon you cruelly. This was certainly something Gaara would have tried on his own whether or not Naruto suggested it. However seeing the teen's happy expression as Gaara sighed contently, relaxing back into the water, held him from saying so.
Truthfully it was in part for Naruto's own pleasure that Gaara went along with the whole thing. Gaara knew that just as you felt pain in your heart, you felt pleasure too. (Like killing people for mother...no...) Like being loved by his siblings, like becoming Kazekage, like seeing that silly, happy expression on Naruto's face after a successful experimentation. Like now, looking over to the blonde's half lidded eyes, his lazy expression, it made his own heart pause -or so it felt- his stomach clench (need?) and...
Wading over his skin prickled with anticipation of sensation, of touching, feeling, experience. He wanted to be held (he wasn't held enough), he wanted to hold. They wouldn't stop this time; they couldn't, not with the negotiations nearly done, not when Naruto was going to leave in just another day. Gaara didn't need to say anything, Naruto met him half way and they tangled together. Neither could say much for technique but they made up for it with eagerness. Gaara supposed that if they ever did discuss these moments Naruto might say something of his enthusiasm or he of the blonde's uncharacteristic submissiveness. Even now the other boy allowed him to dominate, plunging his tongue into his mouth and drinking greedily from him. Let his hand roam across the Leaf nin's vulnerable form. Tasting, touching, feeling, in these instances Naruto willing bowed his head and became a playground in which Gaara could exercise the forbidden pleasures of the adult world. He found that he loved Naruto's body, the strange combination of hard and soft found only during these years of budding manhood. More defined then the boy he once was, prominent muscles twisted in his arms and legs, steel cords wrapped in velvet skin, firm belly, firm back, hard edges softened by the reminisce of childhood.
Gaara didn't dare break their unofficial agreement of silence with his uncertainties. He knew what he wanted, but nothing of Naruto's own desires. Carefully he turned the teen around, pressing their bodies together, back to front, and rested his hands on the other's hips. A silent request (won't you give me this, won't you give me you?). A silent response, Naruto rolling his hips against the hardness pressed against him. A groan, his own voice he realized. Moving against him again, Naruto leaning over the edge of the bath, arms folded under his body for support. At the same time spreading his legs, as if an invitation was needed (come, get lost inside me, inside my world). He was slick with from their baths, they both were, but Gaara prodded the other with inpatient fingers anyway. The blond sighed and mewed so wonderfully, his body responding to every caress.
They had each other again that night, tumbling between the sheets of Gaara's own bed, it was more playful that time, teasing until they were both strung tight with want of release and Naruto had done something so incredible with his mouth that Gaara's body hummed delight for so long after. Again in the morning, when the Kazekage had gone to wash the sticky results from his body he'd become so aroused by the memories the cascading water had invoked within him that he could barely wait for Naruto to have his own turn to wash before he was back inside. Inside, throbbing heat, writhing bodies, groaning, hissing, loving every moment. He didn't know how he was going to let Naruto go in the morning. He didn't think of much however, the teen didn't let him. This was their day; the details of the agreement in question couldn't be finalized until he met personally with The Leaf's Hokage. Gaara was free to spend the last day as he chose. It was perfect or as perfect as Gaara had known anything to be, with wine and food and loving, it was a concentration of their near two weeks, the crescendo to their hedonism.
And then it was gone, slipping through his fingers like sand, or water, both elements mixing to form a tangible memory and impression upon his life, once again changed by the potent storm that was Uzumaki Naruto. The woman Sakura blushed pink about her ears the whole time of their formal farewells, the man Kakashi giving Naruto side long glance. Of course his frequent disappearances would be noted, but the blond wasn't fazed by their suspicions. Nor did he apparently care about his reputation when he leapt upon Gaara with for one final, energetic kiss. One that was just as eagerly returned (he was the Kazekage; no one would dare say anything).
Another storm rolled in just as the first was coming to its end. The month was still just beginning after all and with things returning to normal the dreary grey of the season began to set in filling everyone with a slow lethargy. Almost all, that is, the Kazekage had remained is high spirits, though only his siblings could tell the difference. Just as soon as the rains stopped, when the ground upon which they walked was as dry and cracked as it was before, when the desert was once again itself, he would set out to Leaf. A certain agreement needed finalizing, after all. A small smiled played upon Gaara's mouth as anticipation built inside him and that too was a pleasure he was coming to love, the long wait before satisfaction and Naruto would provide satisfaction worth waiting for.

Should You Buy This Fashion Company
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Fossil's (NASDAQ: FOSL) stock price has been quite volatile for the last one month. The company's share price gained in early October post Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen's upgrade. However it gave up all those gains after the recent earnings report.
I am bullish on the company's prospects and would recommend buying it keeping in mind the following factors:
Growth in Asian Markets
With an increasing middle class population throughout Asian (Japan, China and Korea) there lies a huge untapped market for Fossil. It has already laid down its plans to capture the Asian market by developing infrastructure and manufacturing facilities. Revenue from the Asian markets now contributes 14% and is expected to grow 30% within next 3-4 years. Its strategy of targeting the gap between premium range and lower range products will boost its revenue in the long run. It is launching a series of Swiss products (like Burberry watches for $1,000) to target this segment. This expected demographic shift is further supported by CLSA analyst Barbara who believes that China will have ~250 million people by 2015 to enter into the middle class segment.
New stores:
Fossil is planning to open 50 new stores by the end of 2012, half of which will open in international markets. Globally, Fossil is operating with 413 stores (Sep12) and is planning to open its company owned outlets, which will increase its reach in the direct to consumer segment.
Other positive catalysts which makes it a buy:
1. Fossil sell part of its products under the Michael Kors Holdings Ltd (NYSE: KORS) brand, which is expected to have yearly sales of $4.4 billion by 2017 (1.47 billion 2012).
2. Its 51% stake in Swiss Technology Productions (STP) has increased its production capacity. With this additional capability, it is better positioned to target growing demand of luxury watches in markets like China.
3. Along with the majority stake in STP, its acquisition of Skagen is set to become another growth driver in the long run. Skagen's considerable presence internationallly (European and emerging Asian markets) will help Fossil to expand its brands. Given its strong and established distribution channels and its marketing expertise it will serve a ready market for Fossil.
4. Fossil's multiple expansion layouts with brand extension and its dominant market share
5. Excellent EPS growth, reasonable debt to equity levels (0.10), and a notable ROE makes it an attractive investment.
While Fossil's long term fundamentals look intact, its major competitors, Guess (NYSE: GES) and Swatch Group, do not seem to pose a threat to its business. Operating margins of Guess have declined from17% in 2009 to 15.5% in 2012. Also, its sales declined 6% YoY last quarter against Fossil's sales growth of 15% Y/Y. Swatch Group is also not doing too well. Its stock declined ~10% in stock since introduction of EUR-CHF floor of 1.20 in September.
Summing up all growth fundamentals, Fossil has a strong business model and diversification across geographies and brands positions it better than its peers, which should lead to higher revenues. With expected growth of over 15% and low forward P/E of 13.79x, the stock definitely appears to be a good buy.

Double delight for Russia's Wild thing
Russia's Vic Wild competes in the Men's Snowboard Parallel Slalom quarter-finals at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park during the Sochi Winter Olympics on February 22, 2014 - by Franck Fife
Wild had already won the parallel giant slalom title on Wednesday but wasn't prepared to settle for just that with the 27-year-old insisting it was his off-season training that had made the difference.
"(It's) beyond believable. When I came to the Olympics and showed up I had already won," he said.
"To win the other day was the greatest feeling of my life. I can't believe it. All those power drills I did in the summer, they really paid off. Nobody could keep up.
"It has taken a lot of hard work, man. When everyone else in the summer is taking vacation, I am working hard. I train, I train, and it paid off."
In the early rounds of the competition Wild seemed to be riding different ice to the rest.
In the qualification and elimination rounds he was a second quicker than the others while he was almost two seconds faste than his last-16 opponent over the two runs.
But his real moment of brilliance came in the semi-finals against four-time world champion Benjamin Karl from Austria.
Wild made a mistake on the first run meaning that he was hit with the maximum deficit of 1.12 seconds ahead of the second run.
His double hopes seemed over but he produced a startling run to claw back all that time and more to steam into the final.
There he was pushed all the way by Slovenia's Zan Kosir but he still won by just 0.11sec.
Karl added Olympic bronze to the silver he won in Vancouver in 2010 in the parallel giant slalom by beating Italy's Aaron March.
In the women's competition, Austria's Julia Dujmovits was a shock winner.
The 26-year-old overturned a huge 0.72-second deficit following the first run to beat Germany's Anke Karstens by just 0.12sec following the second.
It was the first time she has ever won an elite level parallel slalom race.
"I don't know what to say, I'm just so happy and thankful," she said.
"I have had a lot of injuries, (I tore) my ACL (cruciate knee ligament) twice (but) I just never gave up. To be Olympic champion today is amazing."
Amelie Kober of Germany narrowly held off charging Italian Corinna Boccacini to claim bronze.

text: The clouds will clear by Tuesday morning leaving a cold morning with temperatures in the low 20s. If you brave the cold and are outside between 4:30am and 7am on Tuesday morning you may want to look to the east to southeast part of the sky. Along the horizon a planet conjunction will be visible. Saturn and Venus will be shinning bright together. Sightings of Venus will become less common in the months to come. In about two months, Venus will no longer be visible in the morning twilight. Next spring Venus will reappear in the evening twilight.

Why wait until Halloween Night to put on that costume? Are you Naughty or Nice?
We want you to bust out those costumes to show us your true self. We'll start out at Aqua Nightclub & Lounge [1] with music and premium Diageo cocktails from 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM. And if you aren't ready for bed yet, we've identified the hottest spots in Downtown Minneapolis where you can show off that costume and enjoy drink specials after-hours:
Shuttle transportation will be available from designated summit hotels:
If Night Out! isn't your thing, join us for Night In!
Join us for movie night including ice cream, sodas, and popcorn, followed by a Q&A discussion with David and Tina Long, parents of the late Tyler Long, featured in BULLY, the documentary. BULLY [9] opens a window into the often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic, and economic borders. It captures a growing movement among parents and youth to change how bullying is handled.

text: Golden CupVagabondBlackest Rainbow Listening to a short clip or even a few minutes of Golden Cup's Vagabond won't do you much good. This is the type of long-form psychedelic "jam" music that you've got to willingly enter for the long haul. Once inside you will discover many trademarks of the genre: wandering guitar/bass instrumentation that never quite shreds but seems perpetually in the midst of a stoned solo, loose Mitch Mitchell-style drumming, and a lot of swirling sounds and bongos. The single-track A side is pretty standard psychedelic fare, but side B starts by mixing things up with minimal rhythms and some flute and synth interplay (at least I think it's a synth). The music becomes more interesting when you're given breathing room, an idea that the last track nails; even though there's an insistent guitar drone accompanied by loose hand-drumming, each element melds together effortlessly, giving us a taste of Golden Cup at their most zoned in. - Keith Rankin Source: experimedia.net golden cup vagabond blackest rainbow review xs

I was born on 24
in Dhading, Dhuwakot-4, Ratmate.
I remember when I was a child I was very 'simple'. I was quite different from my brothers –
I was quiet and soft spoken and I still think that I am so. I did not like any kind of violence and aggressiveness at any level.
I didn't really think that one day I would be a singer. When I was in school, I used to sing during annual events. My teachers and friends used to encourage me. They said that I should be a singer because I had a beautiful voice. At that time I used to take it as just recreation. I didn't think that someday it would be my career. I came to Kathmandu to give voice test at
Radio Nepal
to be a modern singer. Also at that time on the auspicious occasion of
Radio Nepal's
anniversary, they were organizing a Nepali folk song competition. I filled the participating form and stood first. At that time it felt as if I was on top of the world. Why wouldn't it feel, I was just fourteen and more importantly the song – '
Simsime Panima'
(the song I sang in the competition), from my own collection having my own words was a big hit. Still one and half decades later I still find that song being played during many functions. Every time I hear that song in functions and find people humming it, I feel very proud. At
that time I didn't hope that "
Simsime Panima
" would be such a historical achievement not only for me but the entire Nepalese musical industry.
Simsime Panima
" was the song which gave me the courage to pursue my career in music. But, when it seemed that everything was going fine I fell ill. I suffered for many years from a heart disease, palpitation more precisely. Despite being in physical agony I launched a few albums in order to give a new taste to the Nepali musical industry, but they could not reach the heights that I had initially expected. When I recovered I was no more a girl but a woman.
There were several ups and downs in my singing career. However I dedicated some of my musical albums to Nepalese supporters and lovers. I always believed in music not having any country, language, caste and criteria. So,
I thought of releasing a new album for all age groups comprising many musical fields. I started learning classical music from Late
Ram Thapa
, with a belief that I could give my best. I continued learning classical music with
Gurudev Kamat
and I still do. Its been three years since I started it and with all my effort and my teachers for the last couple of years, I have brought forward a new album – "
The Line".
The music arrangers of "
The Line
" are
Phadendra Rai, Maha Raj Thapa
Norvu Sherpa
. I hope the album will help uplift the Nepalese music industry because it includes eastern, western and folk style. I have music videos
of some of my songs, directed by some famous persons from the l field like "
Ma Pani Aaunchhu ...."
Bhusan Dahal
"Pokhun Bhanae ...."
Alok Nemang
and "
Timilai Kehi Hudai Na Hos"
Suraj Singh Thakuri
. I would like to thank
Music Nepal
for marketing. I am very glad that I have been the last singer to sing the last song composed by Late
Ram Thapa
himself – "
Chhati Bhari Timrai Maya …
Keeping in mind that everyone has some responsibility towards the society I have dedicated this album against all the sufferings of Nepalese women. I feel this initiative will help to uplift the living standards of many women in our community who are being deprived of their rights and tortured in many aspects.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me bring forth this album especially
Mr. Bhupendra Khadka
to release this album, for his immense support. I am hopeful the listeners will like this album. I really have worked hard and if you have any comments feel free to share. There might be many flaws in my work and I will try to eliminate them in my future presentations. Thank you!

Alright, Techsters. Some things that you might be interested in happened today during practice:
The quarterbacks, to this untrained eye, looked very good. Though the receivers had some problems holding onto the ball, the QBs were hitting them throughout the drills.
On to special teams: Chandler Anderson was crushing punts during drills. Lots of hangtime. I have no idea about the distances because we were watching from the back, and not the side. But, they looked good.
Of course, it must be pointed out that kickers were going without a rush coming at them. As Paul Johnson says, the games gets a bit different when live bodies start flying around.
One of the fun drills of the day is when a receiver lines up on either side and runs straight down the sideline. The quarterbacks throw the ball downfield and the receivers try to make a play. Stephen Hill and Quentin Sims were snaring passes in that exercise. Demaryius Thomas did, as well.
No injuries today. Antonio Foster injured his shoulder yesterday, but Johnson said he should be OK. Foster did a lot of conditioning drills today.
The players will put on pads tomorrow, which will be interesting. They seem pretty amped up already, but in a controlled way.
There is still a lot of mixing and matching along both lines. Because we asked about the offensive line yesterday, who would you like to see start along the defensive line? I assume Derrick Morgan is a lock. And, as always, tell the board why.

Tech's O-line will suck this year so their offence will not dominate like you expect. Their defense will suck so they will lose 5 this year. FSU, Miami, V Tech, UGA, and you always blow a game you should have won… Bank on it.

Thanks for the update Doug. I for one appreciate your efforts covering the team. Looks like the passing game is starting to develop, and will become a factor as the offense personnel start to understand what they need to be doing on every play. Can't wait for the sweat to fly once the pads go on this week. Keep up the excellent reporting.

Like the way the punts are looking, lets hope they hold onto this good streak when bodies start flying. Kind of unsettling that the recievers have trouble, but I'm sure that will resolve itself soon!

I am happy to see the dawg fans bad mouthing Ga. Tech. To me, it means they are
running scared. The offense will be improved and more expanded from last year.
It will be more difficult to defend. So let them shoot their mouth off. They will be eating
crow before the season ends. Tech will roll and be better than last year.
PJ is one heck of a coach and motivator. He learned under the best!

Bspatrol- you and your conservative mindset should have left town with the worst college football coach in history. Sneeking a deep ball in to Thomas or Hill in man to man coverage is very realistic and you will see it this year. Moron

A little less than four months and Tech starts their losing streak again.
In five months Notre Dame will make a visit to either Atlanta or Gainesville.

My DL would be "Morgan-Peters-TJ Barnes-Robert Hall". I would rotate DTs every 3 plays or so to keep them fresh. JC Lanier would be in the early rotation inside as well. I think we'll see a lot of TJ and JC in the near future.

I know this has nothing to do with this article, but has anyone checked the roster on ramblinwreck.com? Its updated with current weight.
Daniel Drummond weighs 253 lbs. at 6′3! Thats like a defensive end playing b-back. My gosh.
Izaan Cross is up to 272 lbs. He gained 20 lbs since hes been at tech this summer… he is the exact same weight and height as Derrick Morgan right now as a freshman… this kid will be a beast and i think will suprise a lot of people this fall.
Robert Hall is up to 259. Emmanuel Dieke is still only at 248…. but he has room to grow.
The thing that is disappointing is that Jason Peters and Ben Anderson are still between 270-275 after summer weight training… that is still quite a bit undersized for tackles… hopefully Lanier (334 lbs.) and TJ (341 lbs.) will step up…
I know I am just listing weight… but one reason we just couldnt perform well against LSU besides TO's was that they were just bigger, faster, and stronger. I was hoping to see some size added to our D-line, and Robert is up to about 260 which is solid. I just dont think that Jason Peters and Ben Anderson are big enough to be our starting defensive tackles… but then again, im not the coach. CPJ knows best…
August 7th, 2009
2:57 am
Agreed with JACKETfan, we need to have at least one of the big 'uns plugging up the middle. I hope TJ has the conditioning to be a starter, with Lanier giving him breaks. Also disappointed that the older guys havent packed on more muscle in the offseason. We need one of the big guys to pull double teams (so that Derrick Morgan can get in 1 on 1s). I watched a few of Drummond's games. I wouldn't be surprised if he switches over to the D. He had speed at 230 in high school, but I can't imagine he'll make the cut at B-back with that much added weight.
August 7th, 2009
3:37 am
Jacketfan, good comments.
Doug, are you able to see a noticeable difference in practice between the drills we're running and what last year looked like on tape? Are you seeing evolution yet? Or is it too early to tell? Also, from just a layman's perspective, do the guys look "bigger" like they tend to look at LSU, FSU, UF, etc? Do you get the feel that the players are trying to be controlled or more attacking?
JAdams, I think you're actually wrong here. We do run the ball, but not a ball control, 3 yards and a cloud of dust style. We run a very high risk, high reward offense. Throwing the long ball to a wide open B-back or WR is very much in line with our offensive philosophy.
In fact, at UH, when CPJ was there, they led the nation in passing. CPJ does not care to try and win games by scoring 24 points and holding the other guy to 14 or 17. He wants to score 35 plus a game. He believes in home runs. That's what makes this team so fun to watch. We hit home runs, but the opposing D is still tired in the 3rd and 4th quarters. I'm not saying we're going to abandon the run, but a 60/40 percentage will be a little better than an 80/20 percentage.

Good insight Tokyo Jacket as usual.
Doug, You're really giving us some good information about the jackets.
Glad to see the QB's are making connections. I'm sure the receivers will come together.
On defense, I like Morgan, Barnes, Halls and you pick the other one. They appear to have the most experience.
Ramblin Wreck!

Run it, throw it, don't even matter so long as the Jackets win, which they are going to do a lot of. CPJ has the plan and probably for the first time in his coaching career, has a complete set of tools. Lets just enjoy.
BTW, dawg fans suck.

The comment from Blind Side means he is a Georgia fan of course. Bulldog fans are really worried about this coming season as they should be. Tech's offensive and defensive lines are just fine. Tech might lose two games this year, but Georgia is not one of them. Georgia fans know that things have changed. Tech is going to dominate football in Georgia as long as Coach Johnson is there. He wins without athletes as he showed at Navy. He is going to win big with good athletes. Sorry Blind Side but you just have to get out your crying towel.

TokyoJacket must be a little under the rice wine/beer influence. No Way Tech approaches a 60/40 split between run and pass. Tech is loaded at both A-back and B-back and of course Nesbitt will get his share of runs through the option as well. Johnson has stated he will not throw for a 5 to 10 yard gain when he could simply run the ball for that yardage. Thus, Tech only passes in the mid to long range to open up the defense or on down/distances where that is the only option. 70/30 is about the highest percentage we'll see unless we fall way behind games this year. If we have success we'll pass less.
August 7th, 2009

As always, uga fans, please tell me how did winning 7 games in a row against Tech help uga last year?

In 1997, Ralph Friedgen came back to GT after following Bobby Ross to San Diego. 1997 was Joe Hamilton's Sophmore year.
In 1997, GT scored 30+ points in 5 games.
In 1998, GT scored 30+ points in 9 games, with 6 of those 9 at 40+ points. The GT offense had become a SCORING MACHINE.
Folks, get ready, because in 2009, GT's offense is again gonna be a SCORING MACHINE.
The Offense will likely average 35-40 points per game this year.
I dont think Dave Wommack's defense is gonna give up 35-40 points per game…TO ANYONE.
This GT team has a real shot a going 12-0. Believe it.

August 7th, 2009
12:04 pm
My ideal D-Line would be Morgan-Peters-Barnes-Hall, but I'm pretty sure Anderson will start over Barnes. Barnes will the key to this year's run defense. If his endurance can hold up, and he brings consistently good energy for every snap he plays, he's going to be a big factor. Also, I want to see if Jason Hill can contribute anything, since he's also on of the bigger guys on the DL this year at 299 lbs. If at all else, a five DT rotation (Peters, Anderson, Walls, Hill, Barnes) would make me feel better about playing alot of lighter tackles on the roster.
I would much rather see Lanier redshirt this year……we have no idea what his stamina and technique are like at this level, so it would probably be wise to let him sit and watch. No need wasting a year of eligiblity unless disaster strikes the DL and we absolutely need him.
August 7th, 2009
12:06 pm
Your D Line will Morgan, Anderson, Peters and Hall. Unless Morgan leaves early that will be your starters next year as well. They will play with a chip on their shoulders because even their own fans have overlooked them for the new blood. The love affair over the big guys is retarded. T.J. Barnes will be good for short yardage and that's it. J.C. Lanier will not be ready because of his youth to the system. People talk about Peters and Anderson being to small which is crap. It's about leverage, toughness and game. They have it all and the blue collar ethic to help us win. J.C Lamier could pass T.J. Barnes on the depth chart shortly. Nobody talks about Anderson and Walls even though one of them has the approval of Giff Smith to start thus far. Is it a "white" thing?

I love the "child like" euphoria exhibited by the Tech faithful as you enter this season after a magical 9 – 4 2008 campaign including huge wins against J. State, Miss. St., Duke and the always powerful junior college team of Gardner Webb (hehehehehehe). Please don't lose your enthusiasm once the beat downs start. Boise and Shreveport will always welcome the few hundred that travel for the bowl game.
August 7th, 2009
12:27 pm
North Avenue Wreck-
I understand that its all about toughness and leverage. That is why Ben Anderson would start before Jason Peters would at this point, because he has a high motor and is a very tough kid. But I cant see either one of them holding up well against a big o-line with 300+ pound guys. Like I said, obviously the coaching staff is going to start whoever will give us the edge to win, and I trust that they know best, but its hard to keep size off the field. I think that Lanier will start next year (his sophomore year). And no… race has absolutely nothing to do with it lol. I could just see both Peters and Anderson getting pushed around by a big, strong offensive line. If the other team is trying to block 340 pounds at one of the defensive tackle spots, it would free up Derrick Morgan a lot more. My ideal line would be Morgan and Hall at DE with Peters backing them up (his original position was DE) and Anderson and Barnes starting at tackle with Lanier rotating every couple of plays with Barnes… But like I said, I trust the coaching staff will make the right moves and play the best guys.

Tiny tech stock spikes 80% on Bitcoin news
WPCS says it is developing a trading platform allowing users to trade on the currency's most popular exchanges.
Pennsylvania-based WPCS (WPCS) says it recently acquired BTXTrader, which is developing what it says is the first trading platform allowing Bitcoin users to "access market data and execute orders on the five most popular Bitcoin exchanges in a single application."
"Obviously, we are still in development mode, but we're on schedule to release both web and mobile versions of our platform by early 2014," BTX Trader Chief Operating Officer Ilya Subkhankulov said in the release.
The firm's shares surged more than 20% to $1.81 on heavy volume in after-hours trading Thursday. We first saw the story on Marketwatch as reported by Wallace Witkowski.
Very little has been written about WPCS, which bills itself as a communications infrastructure firm. It IPO'd in 2003 at more than $140 and spent the next 10 years going to practically zero.
This past January it received a delisting warning from NASDAQ for failing to comply with the minimum $1 per share rule, but ultimately got a reprieve. Its market cap is a little more than $2 million.
This kind of thing is common, as no-name penny stock companies frequently jump on hot trends in hopes of stoking interest.
The "tour" of the Bitcoin platform is a series of GIFs. We've reached out to the company for comment.

Jenny Craig has a new celebrity client… actress and comedian Nicole Sullivan. Read more on Nicole Sullivan below.
Funny woman Nicole Sullivan recently gave birth to her second child in Auguest and is ready to lose the 35 pounds she's been unable to take off!
Nicole said she resorted to quick and unhealthy ways of losing weight after her first child's birth but has vowed to follow a healthy balanced diet with Jenny Craig to get back into shape.
"I'm so excited to start my program with Jenny Craig. I had such a hard time losing the weight the first time around. I was depressed, I feel like I tried every diet in the book. I want to take care of myself, look good, feel good, and run after my kids.
"When I researched all of the different weight loss programs, Jenny Craig was the only program to offer a personal consultant. Finally, someone I can talk to, who gets to know me and who I can learn from! I have about 35 lbs to lose and refuse to go on crazy diets again, so I called Jenny," said Sullivan.
"Nicole will be a terrific addition to the Jenny Craig team," said Steve Bellach, Senior Director, North American Marketing, at Jenny Craig. "Nicole is a great role model for any new mother trying to lose weight in a healthy way and to do so with a hectic work schedule makes her very relatable."
Nicole Sullivan returns to her Rita Rocks show on October 5, 2009 at 7:30 PM ET/PT.
