haha, i was boured again. :P
One day Brittany was sitting in her mansion. She was so happy, because she had just accomplished her goal of making that morning's toast. She bit down into the buttery piece of burnt toast. Then suddenly she heard a crack! She looked around, shrugged after a few minutes and ate another bite of her toast. She was sitting in her leather chair, in her grand living room. Then out of nowhere, the chandelier fell on her, crushing her flat. She had died instantly. It's a shame really, nobody got to finish the toast. The poor piece of bread was wasted that day... :( And yet. Nobody cared about the PERSON who died, only the poor piece of toast. And I agree.
Yes yes, yet another weiurd one.
Am I boured or what?? :P

The letters E,P, and A have come to be almost as self-explanatory as F, B, and I - - EPA, of course is Environmental Protection Agency, and FBI refers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. There have been a number of waggish modifications to the FBI acronym, and Im starting to look for the same thing to attach to EPA. One that has come to my own mind is Exceptionally Provocative Application. That one came to me as I read a column from the Washington Post Writers Group - - specifically Dana Milbank - - reporting on a news conference of sorts at EPA headquarters, starring the savagely incisive Gina McCarthy. Im wondering if anybody else recalls the general commentary that came with her appointment. It seems to me there was a lot of she knows the business, and shes well aware, and perhaps there were even expressions of hope for reasonableness, which many of us had come to realize had abandoned Ms McCarthys predecessor- - Ive already forgotten her name.
The occasion for that news conference was the presentation of a new rule to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30% at existing power plants. Milbank speaks of McCarthys unambiguous and uncompromising words should delight environmental advocates and frighten industrialists.
Whoever, McCarthy said, said the sword isnt mightier than the pen, theyre absolutely right. Weve heard a variety of industry estimates on the cost to the U.S. Economy of the campaign for such drastic cuts to programs contributing to carbon dioxide emissions. McCarthy contends the cost to us will be more like a gallon of milk per month. Milbank concludes that column with the observation, Love McCarthys message, or hate it, her honesty is refreshing. I disagree with that. I find nothing refreshing in her honest effort to bulldoze a controversial rule over the nation with nothing much more than a Presidential nod, and without even a nod to the appropriate members of Congress.
McCarthy also, of course, is at the head of the pack of those intent on rewriting the Clean Water Act. The proposed rule change would deliver to EPA, jurisdiction over Waters of theUnited States. That new rule, if enacted, according to American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman, would enable EPA to regulate even roadside ditches. That, I think, would cause all manner of problems for folks in rural America - - thats where the ditches are.
And, as for that clumsy reference to the pen versus the sword - - The phrase she tried to quote was coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his play Richelier; Or the Conspiracy, 1839.
It reads, True, This!-Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword.

Another Atlanta Footlocker Smash & Grab
Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5
It is crazy to see what some people are willing to do for a pair of sneakers. It seems like a few people, 15 to be exact, were so determined to get some sneakers that they decided to do a smash and grab at a Southwest Atlanta Footlocker. Similar to the AJ11 Space Jame break-in, a stolen car was also used to smash the front of the store.
And then 15 thieves ran away with sneakers and apparel worth at least between 5-10 thousand dollars. As of right now, the thieves are still at large and the case remains under investigation.

smh, its a shame how far people will go for some shoes
Wowwwwww thats crazy!
Let's see here $$$$$$ in restitution, possible jail time and a criminal record for some kicks??
That's some crazy shit!
You can only blame Nike/Jordan for all the BS they put us through to get shoes. Maybe they should make enough to go around and stop with this "exclusive" sneaker crap.
Man Atl dont do it like that.
That makes me upset
Obama did it
@SBedge.. lol
Yes blame the shoe comapanies.
I also blame Footlocker.
How is it the companies fault?? Please explain.
How the hell is it Nike, Jordan, or Footlocker fault?? If you want to blame somebody, blame the suspects. There's been plenty of kicks that I tried to get but failed and I never once thought to do some low class crap like this. Hope they throw the book at these idiots. Lol. blame the companies. gthoh
i see red. SOOWOOOOOP
lmao most are expressing shame but this is actually hilarious atleast it wasnt somebodys life.
now all the Gangsters can rock jordans in Atlanta, all legit buyers' life will be saved.
@Cuda from NC
Well you can start with the supply and demand aspect of the sneaker game. When people fail to cop some shoes that are Limited or even just General releases and come up short, it starts to eat at you as a sneaker enthusiast. Fail to many times and you become desperate and no longer attempt the traditional methods like camping out or playing the internet game and resort to crime as a way of copping what you want and avoid the let down that the traditional methods bring many of us. I'm not saying what they did was right but I do understand the frustration and the anger one can feel. Then there is the cash flow issues. These sneakers are way over priced and many can't afford to stay fashionable in this economy. Most of us know what it feels like to go to school or wherever and all the "cool people " are wearing the fly $hit that you can't afford. So to stay fashionable one may resort to crime as a result. Right or wrong something can be done by these shoe companies to help stop things like this from happening. Lower prices and make more sneakers so everyone that wants a pair can cop without problems. I myself am tired of the violence surrounding the sneaker game. When I went to cop my bred 11′s I seen 2 people get seriously beat down and robbed for their AJ 11′s. And that release was done by raffle, but didn't stop people from showing up without the ticket and causing a huge ruckus. Those 2 people were taken to the hospital.
Well on a side note I'm no longer mad about them not taking my shoes back…
The thirst is real.
Hahahah Atlanta, fail..
And no this is not a companies fault its societies fault for raising a bunch of entitled people who think Nike is bad for creating a limited supply to drive up demand…
Hahahah Atlanta, fail…. And no this is not a companies fault its societies fault for raising a bunch of entitled people who think Nike is bad for creating a limited supply to drive up demand…
Since common sense is not so "common" and basic values are lacking let's make it plain->
1) Having the latest/freshest jays/nikes/etc. is not a RIGHT nor is it a NECESSITY…you are not entitled to have a pair…it is a LUXURY to those who can afford to endulge!
2) When some ghetto (referring to any race/gender/nationality engaging in low class & ignorant behavior)thugs decide to endanger lives by driving a car though a store front it's clearly on them and no fault of the sneaker company.
3) If you believe this was spurred by some kids not being able to honestly purchase a limited release pls proceed to #killyoself. These dudes committed the crime because they wanted kicks/gear to rock AND sale for $$$
I hope the people responsible are caught and thrown under the jail…I can't stand a thief!
They're tripping down here. Dumb asses could have killed themselves trying to rob a store.
Is that the one on Metropolitan? Didn't they get hit once before?
its funny to me lol. i guess this is what happens when get tired of waiting.
they probably got a bunch of forces, flightposites, team Jordans and Adidas. lol
"We" got to do better!!!
Footlocker, Nike/JB is not responsible for this in any way, shape, or form. These companies have done everything they can think of to keep people safe. Raffles, Twitter, etc have come into play because of public saftey issues. Regardless of how much of a particular product is made there will never be enough. There were 500,000 pair of XI's released this year and people still acted the fool. It has nothing to do with quantity. It has everything to do with PEOPLE making IDIOTIC decisions for a non-essential pair of shoes or clothing.
@Shoe String my guy that just isnt justifable. The blame is the criminals, 15 ppl that was plan just so can resell I bet. If u havent notice these stores are the assholes. They will tell u they have 10 pairs of kicks when they got over 80 pairs back there. I'm telling u fet in good like me get a connect and watch the BS these store managers do. 6 pairs of jordans for a general release get the fuck out here the rest he holding for employees and friends then reselling them. Those crooks straight deserve hard time. Tell them idiots get in raffles and apply to more then one store.
Don't blame the shoe companies. Blame those who are lazy and broke. They probably stole 5k worth of footlocker t-shirts smh
Only in America..
Idiots like this is what makes the game no fun anymore for the rest of us. WTF is wrong with people.
Damn, told them niggas to grab me some socks too… idiots
The sad part is the majority of niggaz in atl have no swag, so they have no idea how to rock the stolen shit. I live here and i can vouch for a decent segment of people wit genuine style. These niggaz on the other hand, like most atl youth cant rock anything but their sister/little brother clothes and a "fresh" pair of chuck taylors.
This is one of the main reason I got out of the game I was held up at shotgun point for space jams. That I payed for with my hard earn money. I blame eBay for people wanting to only triple there money. It's all about money at the end of the day. I use to like it when the shoe game was underground. We would talk about what and why when it came out and if you camped out you made homies not enemy's. Be safe out there world and happy collecting.

While women of color may receive more counseling on emergency contraception, they certainly don't always have access to it when they do need it. From the age restrictions that were finally lifted after a court order to pharmacists who spread misinformation or refuse to stock the drug, we know is still not as easy as it should be to get your hands on some EC in many places. And for many Native American women, it's been all but impossible. As MoJo explained last year:
On many reservations, the only medical facilities are the Indian Health Service centers, which are a federally administered division of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center's research found that only 10 percent of the pharmacies in the IHS offered Plan B, or "the morning after pill"—the leading form of emergency contraception—over the counter. Forty percent only provide Plan B with a prescription, and the other half don't provide the pill at all.
This is particularly awful considering that Native American women experience sexual assault at rates twice the national average. Prompt access to EC is just one of the things–along with rape kits and legal resources–that many survivors on reservations lack. Now after many years of pressure of reproductive health advocates, IHS claims they're fixing the problem. The AP reports:
IHS said more than a year ago that it was finalizing a policy to provide the drug directly to patients. That policy hasn't been released, but the agency told The Associated Press that all IHS facilities run by the federal government are now under a verbal directive to provide Plan B to women 17 years and older at pharmacy windows without a prescription.
"I want to reassure you that we have taken this issue seriously, and the IHS has, on several occasions this year, confirmed access to FDA-approved emergency contraceptive products in all IHS federally operated facilities with pharmacies," the agency wrote in response to questions from the AP.
While this is a good first step, advocates are still pushing to make that verbal directive official by getting it on paper. And I'm not sure if IHS heard the news, but Plan B is supposed to be available to women of ALL ages without a prescription now. As Charon Asetoyer of the Resource Center said, "They're still violating our rights to access by denying women who are age 16 and under. …We have to ask, why are we being treated differently?

When the vernal equinox happens this Thursday at 12:57p ET, you can balance eggs upright on the sidewalk because IT WILL BE SPRING. We still have deep emotional energy to work through this week, just like last week, and some friend and some romantic relationships are going to roll away around Wednesday. Be nonplussed like Lisa. As you can probably feel, the closer we move toward that big Cardinal Cross on April 23rd, the more intense everything in our life feels. (In this Grand Cross, the cardinal ("male") signs meet, and one pair opposes each other, and the other pair squares off. We've been looking ahead to this event for months now, and it's the moment when big things in your life will definitely change.) It is for the ultimate good and our transformation of self, though. And maybe we'll all start rocking thick eyeliner afterwards. Mmm. What will happen this Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is a reveal of our patterns. Could be a big reveal one of those days. You'll find you are extra intuitive this week (just go with it). A week to actually take notes. After the vernal equinox on Thursday, it will be a productive few days (especially Friday and Saturday) with the new fiery boost. Sunday will be chill. And dearest of star friends, my birthday is this Saturday, so now you know: your favorite Amateur Gif Astrologer (not-an-astrologer-I-just-gif-a-lot) kthread is an Aries. Happy spring to all of us! And here's the astrological week ahead in gifs. I like this week. Posted March 17, 2014

All of those anti-bacterial cleaning products that promise to keep us germ free may actually make us more prone to sickness.
Scientists say our immune systems need contact with germs at a young age in order to prepare our bodies to fight illness for the rest of our lives.
They say if we eliminate all germs from our children's surroundings, their immune systems can become too sensitive and therefore more susceptible to allergies and asthma.
Researchers aren't suggesting abandoning good hygiene practices in our homes but say we don't need to use anti-bacterial soaps or wipes, clean with bleach or even wash our clothes every day.

Look! A Countertop Solution for Short Cooks
We had a lively discussion a couple days ago about these cutting boards on risers for tall cooks who have to bend uncomfortably over their standard-issue countertops. But what about extra-short cooks? Well, reader Cheryl sent us this photo of her own solution.
Cheryl says:
I'm short (5'0") and had an area of shorter height (30") butcher block countertop built into my kitchen remodel. I love it!
Nice! We really like this, Cheryl. Of course, this is only an option for cooks in the unique position of remodeling their kitchens, but it could be approximated by putting a lower kitchen cart or sideboard in your kitchen.
I have a breakfast nook with a low table where I do some of my more energetic or difficult kitchen work (like kneading bread).
Petite cooks — have you found other solutions for making your kitchen work well? Do you use a footstool to access storage, for instance?
This whole discussion about kitchens that fit also reminds me of a piece last year in the New York Times on a brilliantly designed kitchen in France for Jean-Yves Prodel, who uses a wheelchair. The piece discussed some of the ways to make kitchens more suited to children, the elderly, and others who don't fit a narrow set of "average" specifications. There's a long step between being short (or tall!) and having a disability challenge, of course, but there is some overlap in the discussion when it comes to kitchens, and that article is worth a re-read!

In the last episode of The Little Couple they talked about this issue. Since she is only 3' 2" she needs a very low counter to work on. They are having a custom kitchen built.
My mother is on the short side (5'1") and she rarely has trouble reaching things in cabinets because she purposefully only stores things she needs rarely up high. When she does need something from up there, she asks my dad or climbs up on the counter (although considering she's approaching 60, that may be something she needs to stop at some point soon).
She has a little step stool, but the only time she uses it is for kneading bread.
I'm 4'11" and oddly, our counters work better for me than for my roommates (all three of which are around 6'). The only problems I have are with getting stuff from the second self and up in our cabinets, but that's what step stools and tall roommates are for :)
My 4'10" grandmother has a tiny kitchen with a table planted right in the middle. She does pretty much all of her chopping work on that table.
At 5'2", I've never really noticed an issue with using regular counters. Maybe I'm just used to working on them, even if they're probably not the best height for me. I do need to buy a footstool for reaching the upper shelves in my cabinets though. I'm used to climbing onto the counters, but one of my counters in the house I recently bought already shows the results of doing so repeatedly: the countertop has dropped an inch on one side, so it's not level anymore.
I'm only 5' 1" and never had a problem with our countertops which I think are standard? The only time it bothers me is if I'm working on something kind of labor intensive - like rolling out dough. I like the shorter countertop, for that purpose, but also so that if you have kids they can participate in cooking with you.
My ex's mother was partially disabled, and when she had her kitchen updated to be barrier free, it included lowering all cabinets, counters, etc. It was the only place that I, at 5'0", never had to get a chair to get something on the second shelf. Her husband was over 6', so they compromised by making 1/2 the length of the island sized for her, and the other half for him.
I'm 5' 2". I have little trouble using standard counters for most tasks, but if I'm kneading bread dough or rolling something out, I move to the kitchen table. I only store things I use rarely on the top shelf and I have a step stool. When I was a kid, I'd climb on the counters to reach that stuff, but now that I have fibromyalgia, it's easier to just use the stool or a chair. When I lived with my boyfriend, he'd get stuff down for me.
Another shortie here (5'0"). Standard counter height is okay, but not for extended periods of time. If I'm in for a lot of chopping or peeling, I set up at the kitchen table and sit down to take a load off my feet too.
My old apartment (built pre-WW2) had counters at 32", which were so much more comfortable. Unfortunately, the lower height and a deep sink made it impossible for my boyfriend (5'11") to wash dishes without straining his back.
My short mother prefers the dining table to her standard counter tops. I love this idea though-caters for all sizes!
I'm 4'11" and do most of my cooking at the table rather than the kitchen bench. We have some high cupboards and a step-stool but I tend to climb up and sit on bench in order to reach things rather than using the stool.
I'm just under 5'1"...while I don't have much of an issue with most tasks in my rental kitchen, kneading is definitely a pain and hard on my wrists without the aid of a stool. I also can't reach the top shelves of my cupboards and given the limited space I don't have the luxury of limiting these shelves to rarely used items. I basically keep the footstool closeby at all times or call my boyfriend over in a pinch.
I love this shorter countertop idea! A lower kitchen cart also seems like a great alternative...maybe one day I'll have the space for one :)
This is really a good idea.
I've seen people with enough kitchen area use lower height kitchen carts on wheels that lock. But custom is good for those that can do it.
I love that idea!
I'm 5'2" on a really good day, but like many others I don't have an issue. However, I also don't roll dough very often; I'm gluten-intolerant and find gluten-free baking to be a real pain. I buy all of my bread at an amazing gluten-free speciality bakery here that makes great products for about the same price it would cost me to make them.
But I need to climb counters, use a stool or have my boyfriend around for reaching objects higher than the second shelf.
(oh, or I just slip on a pair of heels to reach.)
I was thinking of lowering all the counters in a kitchen remodel, but this is way better!

BURRILLVILLE - A veteran cop with the Burrillville Police Department, who received the state's highest honor for lifesaving last year, was feted by the Boston Celtics and the Massachusetts State Lottery at a Mass. Statehouse ceremony earlier this month as a 2010-2011 Heroes Among Us recipient.
Last year, Lt. Dennis C. Leahey was one of six Rhode Islanders honored for their lifesaving heroics during a ceremony at the statehouse. Then-Gov. Donald Carcieri and Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis presented each hero with the state's 2010 State Lifesaving Medal, which are awarded every year.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō For Neftali Melendez, Wednesday started with a bang, but it went downhill from there.
Melendez was startled awake about an hour before dawn by the sound of an explosive device blowing apart the door of his first-floor apartment at 196-202 Fourth Ave., police said.
Melendez, 25, now held at the ACI on drug charges, had been the target of an undercover narcotics operation for weeks, said Detective Lt. Eugene Jalette.

Dawes (pictured) provide support for Brett Dennen tonight at the House of Blues
Brett Dennen has been consistently growing his audience for several years now, but tonight's highlight at the House of Blues will actually be the opening act, Dawes. The band has been to San Diego a few times now, and every show has left me breathless. The vocal harmonies of brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith are so strong, in fact, that they recently backed the Band's Robbie Robertson on a string of TV performances. The Dawes' new record, Nothing Is Wrong, is another testament to this young band's skill at crafting stories in song.

Priority Groups
Eight Priority Groups For VA Health Care.
Because of funding regulations it is very important for all veterans to enroll in the
VA Health Care system. Please encourage your fellow veterans to apply; we need to keep the numbers up as
it helps prove the need for these entitlements.
When a veteran enrolls in the system he / she is assigned to one of the seven categories of
VA Health Care. About two or three weeks after you submitting your 10-10 EZ form you will be notified of
the group you are assigned to.
Each of the seven categories provides the same benefits but at different costs and priority of service delivered.
PRIORITY 1 Veterans with service-connected disabilities rated at 50% or more.
PRIORITY 2 Veterans with a service connected disabilities rated 30% or 40%.
PRIORITY 3 Veterans who are former POWs.
Veterans with service connected disabilities rated 10% or 20%.
Veterans discharged from active duty for a disability incurred or aggravated in the
line of duty. Veterans who received the Purple Hart Veterans awarded special eligibility classification
under 38 U.S.C. Section 1151, benefits for individuals disabled by treatment or vocational rehabilitation".
PRIORITY 4 Veterans who are receiving aid and attendance or housebound benefits
Veterans who have been determined by VA to be catastrophically disabled.
PRIORITY 5 Nonservice-connected veterans and noncompensable service-connected veterans
rated 0% disabled, whose annual income and net worth are below the established
dollar thresholds.
PRIORITY 6 All other eligible veterans who are not required to make co-payments for their
care, including: Veterans seeking care solely for disorders associated with: exposure to herbicides
while serving in Vietnam; or exposed to ionizing radiation during atmospheric
testing or during the occupation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; or for disorders
associated with service in the Gulf War; or for any illness associated with service
in combat in a war after the Gulf War; or during a period of hostility after
November 11, 1998 Compensable 0% service connected veterans.
PRIORITY 7 Nonservice-connected veterans and noncompensable 0% service-connected
veterans with income and net worth above the established dollar threshold and who
agree to pay specified co-payments.
PRIORITY 8 This is the newest addition to the priority groups.
If you are assigned to Category 8 for VA Health
Care and Prescription coverage you will be denied coverage. If your income is over 150% of the poverty level
you will be unable to get into the system. To prevent being put in category 8 a veteran must answer all
question in section VIII. (Previous calendar year Gross Annual Income of Veteran) If you do not complete
section VIII the VA will classify you as category 8 and exclude you.

How it should've ended | The Purifying Fire
Specially requested for a sick and very bedridden friend,sianaithnid!
Get well soon!
Hey guys! I just wanted to get back into the swing of things. Let's start the day with some Magic talk and one of my favorite formats. Modern!
One of the coolest things about Modern is that it's not specifically dominated by Planeswalkers. The only PW that sees high play is Liliana of the Veil in Jund lists. Outside of Jund, there isn't a whole lot of PW on competitive lists and they do end up being the support card, not a victory condition. You'll usually see 1-ofs outside of Liliana.
This is a really stark contrast when you think about current Standard and Standard a few years back where Jace, The
Wallet Mind Sculptor was basically an all in one PW. Lock out, Card draw, Board control and a win condition!? It does get a bit frustrating when people do expect Jace level power when a new PW is printed, but for the sake of fun in the game, let's hope that we never do!
To give you guys an idea, here are the most commonly played Planeswalkers in Modern. With this in mind, pick up your Lilianas when you CAN! Her price will almost double by next summer!
Hopefully this helps when you guys are trading for cards this weekend. Also, for those of you guys who aren't really into control lists for Standard and prefer the old fashion method, there was a pretty awesome showing at GP Santiago by Luis Navas and his Rakdos deck. It's pretty cheap to build, so feel free to check it out.

So let's a discussion about homosexuality. WotC's lawyers feel that homosexuality is a bad thing. So bad, they've decided to get tumblr to delete it under copyright infringement (complete bullshit btw).
So guys, how do you feel about a company that does not tolerate gay imagery? To be more precised, should a law-firm who represents WotC go out and try and purge such images?
Keep in mind, there are several "raunchier" depictions of "guy on girl" left in the archives, yet those were left untouched. The ones that depicted "guy on guy" were deleted.

Oh boy! Things aren't going to end well after Ashton Kutcher told Charlie Sheen to "shut the f**k up!"
Kutcher was being interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and when asked if he had a message for Charlie Sheen, the actor didn't hold back.
"I'm gonna public plea right now with Charlie. Dude, shut the f**k up! Seriously. Like, enough already. Like, it's like three years later and you're still blowing me up on Twitter? Come on, dude. Really?"
It comes after Sheen told Kutcher to stop "barfing" on 'Two And A Half Men' and said he was 'lame' on Twitter.

Tywin's argument is essentially that the RW would kill the northern cause for good and all and the war would be over, minimizing the casualty count in the long term. Unless I'm mistaken, and I could be, it's the same skeleton of the argument that gets used when arguing for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The difference is that when you join an army you knowingly sign up for the risk that you might die. When you're a civilian you don't. Those involved in the RW, besides Catelyn, are still an army, but they were in an arguably civilian setting. The RW was deception, whereas open war, well, isn't. Does that fundamentally change the honorableness of killing? I don't know, and I think Tywin brings up a compelling dilemma, a moral conundrum worth philosophizing over. If you do see the wedding feast as fundamentally indistinguishable from the battlefield, and if you don't agree that all war is murder, then the only murder really committed is Catelyn, as far as I'm aware. But not everyone WILL agree that a wedding feast is fundamentally indistinguishable from a battlefield, and not everyone WILL agree that all killing in war is murder (otherwise Karstark's sons were murdered by Jaime Lannister, no?).
But here's the thing. If you agree that all war is murder, then what should Tywin have done for the greater good? CALL OFF THE FUCKING WAR. The only reason he won't is he refuses to give up the utter supremacy of House Lannister over everyone else.
The debate I saw on asoiafuniversity said not that Tywin said that the RW was noble, but rather that war isn't. I could agree with that (again though, I'm not sure what I think about all killing in war being murder, even though I'm very strongly anti-war … because I'm anti-violence and anti-killing). But I don't agree that what Tywin did was really in the interest of the greater good, not in spirit, even if it did bring an end to a major arena of the war and even if you do buy the utilitarian argument that in the long run fewer people died. Because of the third option: peace.
Tywin invoked this war in the first place, don't forget that. Tywin flouted the king's authority (everyone else has to go through the king, why the fuck not Tywin?) and set Gregor loose upon riverlands CIVILIANS, egging Edmure on into war. Tywin isn't responsible for Stannis and Renly deciding to go to war, and it's not his fault that Joffrey ordered Ned killed and earned the enduring enmity of the north, but Robb was going to come help the Tullys anyway, at the very least, so the open hostilities that happened in the duration of AGOT are pretty much, as far as I'm concerned, started by him. Furthermore, though he didn't want Ned Stark dead, he doesn't actually have to stop them from seceding in retaliation to Ned's death. The reason he does? Power. Ultimately all the desires for dynastic power, while they seem proper and procedural when you start ASOIAF, slowly become obvious for the nakedly destructive and wantonly callous greeds that they are. If Tywin really cared about the greater good, he would have done what Edmure Tully did and put the lives of innocent civilians above dynastic strength in the first place. (This goes for other parties involved in the war too, not just Tywin Lannister.)
TL;DR Tywin Lannister made a fairly compelling ethical argument without really caring about the ethics of the scenario at all. In doing so he deflected Tyrion's accusations, which was his only objective, because Tywin Lannister is the human form of Teflon.
Agreed! And I ranted about it over here. Tywin, for all his talk of legacy, is incredibly short-sighted and his view of...

[RadiodiMassa] Corrispondenze da Lampedusa 19-03-2011Written by admin7 on 19 marzo 2011 – 19:24 -
Corrispondenze telefoniche da Lampedusa con alcuni compagni scesi nella piccola isola del Mediterraneo per documentare l'impressionante situazione di sovraffolamento che si sta creando con i nuovi arrivi dei profughi dall'Africa.
La popolazione lampedusina denuncia la condizione di abbandono da parte del Governo italiano che non prende provvedimenti seri e reali per sbloccare questa drammatica situazione. Attualmente nel centro di accoglienza i migranti sono più di 2000 a fronte di una capienza prevista di 800 persone.
Ad esacerbare gli animi contribuiscono associazioni e fazioni di estrema destra che annunciano fantomatici scontri di religione ed invasioni di musulmani.
La situazione si aggrava di giorno in giorno mentre il Governo e il ministro Maroni si impegnano invece in investimenti militari ignorando completamente le richieste della popolazione italiana e siciliana che chiede provvedimenti immediati per ovviare a queste emergenze cicliche.

This is one of several motives why I keep returning to this web page. This blog post is loads of advise and I can't wait to get started on using them. I like how it is visible that you took a great number of time and effort in research. I never enjoy it when I continue reading posts that are 500 words long but are wanting in content. It is like they just want to reel you in and they're not really offering something compelling. So thank you!

I am sorry you had another bad night!!!
I forgot to mentioned that I only took 1/2 of the ambien. I think it was a 10mg pill, so I took 5mg. The whole dosage was too much for me, and my daytime nurse complained that I slept too late....as if I had anything important to do!!!
I also couldn't move very much while on bed rest. One of my nurses eventually told me to eat lying down b/c my BP would go up. For me: no visitors, no tv, no sitting up, no complicated puzzles. All I did for 18 days was read, nap, and listen to relaxation music. Every two days they let me take a quick shower...which was heaven.

What Lou Wants, Lou Can't Have
In sports, the window closes.
Any team that decides to make a move for the championship will select a few key stars to lead their team for the foreseeable future. In Detroit, the Pistons had a solid starting five of Rip, Sheed, Chauncey, Ben and Prince for years. In Indianapolis, the Colts offense spent many years revolving around Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Eddgerin James.
The problem with the concept of the "core" is that, eventually, they get old. Just a couple years after winning it all, the Boston Celtics will have this problem, with KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce all aging quickly (and three good knees between them). The Phoenix Suns' core of Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamire, and Shawn Marion has already been dissolved, even without having won a championship.
In Chicago, the Cubs have their core. They've invested tens of millions of dollars in three position players that simply can't be moved. For the foreseeable future, third base belongs to Aramis Ramirez; Derrek Lee owns 1B; and Soriano gets left field. That's how it is.
The Cubs' offensive core has had their days. They tasted the postseason in 2007 and 2008. Unfortunately, those days were short. But more importantly, they happened--this team had its chance.
As our core ages, as Aramis' shoulder acts up, as Derrek's neck spasms continue to flare, as Soriano's quick hands start slowing down, we're beginning to notice a major flaw with the group. Fans are convinced, along with the team's manager, that this group needs a lefty power bat to win.
Unfortunately, there's no place to put that bat. We've decided on our core, and there really isn't a lot of wiggle room one way or the other.
Jim Hendry tried to fill the lefty power gap by signing players like Fukudome and Bradley. In doing so, I think Hendry was wise not to ignore one crucial element of the game--defense. The guys we've got are not oafs. Bradley's brain hasn't quite caught up to his legs yet, but the guy can still move around.
As an example, look at the top five lefty outfielders in slugging this season: Raul Ibanez, Brad Hawpe, Adam Dunn, Jason Bay, and Jonny Damon. Those guys will all most assuredly see a rapid decline in their defensive skills over the next one to three years, assuming of course that it hasn't happened already.
Basically what I'm saying is--if you're convinced that the Cubs need a left-handed power bat to win it all (and I'm almost convinced of the fact at this point), then you're going to have to wait until 2011, when Lee vacates his spot at first base, for a championship team on the North Side of Chicago.
Until then, perhaps you should advocate having the Cubs act as sellers in the trade market, to prepare them for their next run. At this point, I think that's the side I'm on.

Save the Bullet (Germany x Fem!Italy)Save the Bullet (Germany x Fem!Italy) by redscarletridinghood
1945, June 25th
Rome, Italy.
One bullet.
One bullet is all it takes to kill that woman up there, shouting a number of words I can barely understand. But, as I am uneducated in linguistics, I am also not dumb to see how it stirred the people around her, especially when she waved the Italian flag so majestically it took the citizens' breath away.
"Combattere, cittidani di Italia!"
Fight back, citizens of Italy.
Fight back.
"Viva l'Italia!"
I stared at her, at auburn locks tied back in a severe pony tail and flying with the southern breeze. At the amber eyes crazed with adrenaline and the fire of revolution, glittering like gems under a spotlight. At her bleeding hands abused too much of waving something futile, yet it still moves and moves and moves, like her.
Like the resistance.
"Long live Italy." I mutte
The Man who Fell Overboard 3He waited for days, spending much of the time sleeping in the shallows, wrapped around where rocks jutted up out of the water so he wouldn't be dragged out to sea. At night, when the moon was high in the sky, he flitted about in search of fish. What he did find, he ate ravenously, though a few he trapped in tidal pools in cages fixed from driftwood and seaweed in case Gilbert returned.The Man who Fell Overboard 3 by De-Anon
Gradually, the wind scraped away all traces of the crooked line of footprints.
About the fifth day, he wondered if he'd return at all. This wasn't necessarily a bad life out by the shore. The sun was an unaccustomed warmth that seeped into his skin, the fish plentiful, and Lovino was able to hide easily enough in underwater caves when he heard the splash of fishermen's nets. Still he felt an odd sense of betrayal twist its way into his chest when the scrunch of sand he heard every morning were only those of sailors as swarthy as Gilbert was pale.
Diary (One-sided Austria x Hungary)Diary (One-sided Austria x Hungary) by redscarletridinghood
I found a diary underneath a tree.
It seemed odd, how could such a thing be in this place? There was no one here, except for little Italy and my wife, Elizabeta.
Maybe it was hers?
I wasn't about to open that leather-bound book and snoop into my wife's private thoughts, but curiosity got the best of me that day. I sat comfortably under the old, oak tree, took the book and leafed through it.
The book held her memories since childhood. It merely served as her combat records the first few centuries, but as I went through the times, the entries became intimate. I read through how we met, got married and finally in the latest entry, I was taken by surprise.
I started reading about me.
Dear diary,
Today, I found the one love I've waited for a thousand years. I love him as much as I did in the past, he was life itself. He was the one who filled my life with such warmth and joy, filled my ears with the music intended for no one
La Grande Prince (Russia x China)La Grande Prince (Russia x China) by redscarletridinghood
Let me tell you about my life.
I am a prince who lives here in this planet. It is always snowing and cold in this place I call my home: the Soviet Union. Nothing had grown in this land, except for a gloomy volcano that I clean on a daily basis, and some baobab spouts I often pull uproot lest it would bring my small, insignificant planet to destruction.
No, I am not lonely here.
I would whisper to myself.
I am alone, but not lonely.
I proved that lie correct when miraculously, a single, beautiful flower grew on the Soviet Union. Golden petals, Green leaves, Midnight black hair and Amber-colored eyes.
He was a Sunflower.
And he was my very first companion.
Starting from that day, with Yao around, the Soviet Union became a brighter, warmer place to live in. Both of us shared the
