From unemployment benefits to cancer treatments, seven ways the sequester may affect you.
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration says air traffic is back to normal after lawmakers passed legislation to fix the FAA budget cuts that were forcing air traffic controllers furloughs and, in turn, long delays at airports across the country.
Democrats supported the FAA fix and President Obama signed it, but many on the left criticized it as a "Band-Aid" measure that solved a problem for wealthy travelers — and lawmakers themselves — without addressing the much broader problems posed by the big budget cuts known as the sequester. (For those keeping score, the Republican party counted the Democrats' "cave" on the FAA as a victory for themselves.)
Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, opposed the budget cuts before they went into effect. The cuts, after all, were designed to be so unpalatable to both parties that Congress would never allow them to take effect. But the GOP pivoted, coming to embrace the cuts as a swift implementation of the "leaner government" that the party stands for and seeing the fallout as a far bigger problem for Obama than themselves.
Still, with Congress in recess this week, voices across the political spectrum are asserting that sequestration is bad: Bad for the Democrats, bad for the Republicans, bad for the economy. The bipartisan duo that proposed a deficit savings plan two years ago that would have prevented the sequester is trying to resurrect their "grand bargain."
But if that's not going to happen, is the FAA alone in deserving a "Band-Aid" to ease the budget pain? Sen. John McCain called it "criminal and scandalous" to help the FAA while leaving deep Pentagon cuts intact. Earlier this month, the impact of cuts to Head Start and cancer treatment and research made news. Federal employees are seeking relief through a union campaign. So are affected industry and interest groups.
Here are seven places where ordinary Americans may feel the impact of the budget cuts:
The Department of Veterans Affairs was actually spared from the (nearly) across-the board budget cuts, but not all programs that serve veterans are operated by the VA. At a Congressional hearing last month (PDF), military and civilian leaders said that cuts to the Defense Department and other agencies would mean severely curtailed mental health services for soldiers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as cuts to recruitment efforts, tuition assistance, and programs that support military families.
Local agencies receive funding from the federal government for the program that serves home-bound seniors and the poor. "The White House has said the cuts would mean 4 million fewer meals for seniors this year, while the Meals On Wheels Association of America put the loss at 19 million meals," the Huffington Post reported Monday in a story highlighting what those cuts mean for a Virginia man who relies on the program.
The sequester includes $2 billion in cuts to housing assistance programs, and will force an estimated 140,000 low-income families (PDF) out of a program that provides vouchers to help pay rent. Those effects are being felt from California to suburban D.C.
Hitting the road this summer? It's unlikely that national parks will shut down completely, but parks say they're closing off areas, limiting camping, and deferring trail maintenance. Montana's Glacier National Park outlined its cutbacks in a March press release. Yellowstone National Park delayed opening some entrances for two weeks before private donors opened their wallets to avert a disaster for local tourism revenues.
"Sequestration requires every state to cut benefits for the long-term unemployed," the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities reports. "So far, roughly 800,000 workers in 19 states have seen their benefits cut by a little more than 10 percent — or about $120 a month, on average. When all states implement these cuts, they will affect as many as 3.8 million jobless workers." A Pew Charitable Trusts report outlined the same effects, with a state-by-state breakdown, this month.
The Washington Post reported nearly a month ago that some cancer clinics were turning away Medicare patients, saying that they would be forced out of business by lower reimbursements for expensive chemotherapy treatments under the sequester. The FAA remedy sparked further outrage, with providers, patients, and other critics saying that the consequences for cancer patients far outweigh an extra hour or two at the airport.
Even before sequestration-induced flight delays made headlines, meat inspectors got an exemption from the devastating budget cuts. But the FDA still says it will conduct about 20 percent fewer food inspections overall compared to last year. Speaking to USA Today, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg also said that the cuts will delay the implementation of the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act and delay the approval of new drugs.

Never Let a Correction Interfere With a Headline
Lessons learned from the Washington Post.
H/T: Jay Rosen
Behind the Scenes of the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Arrest
A Massachusetts police photographer upset with the glamorization of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of the current edition of Rolling Stone released behind the scenes images of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation and arrest of the suspect.
According to the BBC, the photo release was unauthorized and Murphy is currently under investigation. John Wolfson, the author of the Boston Magazine article that displays the photos, tweeted that Murphy has been "relieved of duty."
Image: A sniper trains his gun on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. One of a series of photographs released by Sean Murphy to Boston Magazine. Select to embiggen.
Many women are left with scars, stretch marks, and loose skin after giving birth. It's a reality that women themselves often try to hide and the media never wants to show. But photographer Jade Beall is trying to change that.
One day early last year, Beall — a new mother based in Tucson, Arizona — went into her studio with her five-week-old baby, stripped off, and took a series of photos. It was a body she wasn't really familiar with. There were bumps and lumps that she had never had before her pregnancy. And she didn't like what she saw.
But she decided to post the pictures on her photography blog — to share with others a side of motherhood that tends to be kept out of view… and it went viral.
Beall has now photographed more than 70 mothers who will appear in her book, A Beautiful Body, due out in January. See photos here.
The song "Happy Birthday to You" is widely credited for being the most performed song in the world. But one of its latest venues may be the federal courthouse in Manhattan, where the only parties may be the litigants to a new legal battle.
The dispute stems from a lawsuit filed on Thursday by a filmmaker in New York who is seeking to have the court declare the popular ditty to be in the public domain, and to block a music company from claiming it owns the copyright to the song and charging licensing fees for its use.
The filmmaker, Jennifer Nelson, was producing a documentary movie, tentatively titled "Happy Birthday," about the song, the lawsuit said. In one proposed scene, the song was to be performed.
But to use it in the film, she was told she would have to pay $1,500 and enter into a licensing agreement with Warner/Chappell, the publishing arm of the Warner Music Group. Ms. Nelson's company, Good Morning to You Productions, paid the fee and entered into the agreement, the suit says.
"Before I began my filmmaking career," Ms. Nelson said in an e-mail forwarded by her lawyer, "I never thought the song was owned by anyone. I thought it belonged to everyone."
The lawsuit notes that in the late 1800s, two sisters, Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill, wrote a song with the same melody called "Good Morning to All." The suit tracks that song's evolution into the familiar birthday song, and its ownership over more than a century.
But although Warner/Chappell claims ownership of "Happy Birthday to You," the song was "just a public adaptation" of the original song, one of Ms. Nelson's lawyers, Mark C. Rifkin, said in a phone interview.
"It's a song created by the public, it belongs to the public, and it needs to go back to the public," Mr. Rifkin said.
The New York Times, "Birthday Song's Copyright Leads to a Lawsuit for the Ages."

The incomparable A. J. Liebling wrote once that there are three kinds of journalists: the reporter, who says what he's seen; the interpretive reporter, who says what he thinks is the meaning of what he's seen; and the expert, who says what he thinks is the meaning of what he hasn't seen. The first two—reporters and interpretive reporters—have been largely undermined by economics and incuriosity. But the third category never stops growing. We are now a nation of experts, with millions of people who know the meaning of everything that they haven't actually experienced.

Data is the new Oil. Data is just like crude. It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used.

All the elements just seemed right with Circa—that they're embarking on something new, that they're trying to do something no one else has done before, and that they look at news presentation in the same way—that it's broken—as I do, and they want to fix it. That's something I always wanted to focus on and make something I do—it's something I jump out of bed and think about.
At Bloomberg, reporters could sit at their desks and use a keyboard function to see the last time an official of the Federal Reserve logged on. And the Justice Department obtained the records of The Associated Press from phone companies with no advance notice, giving it no chance to challenge the action. The absence of friction has led to a culture of transgression. Clearly, if it can be known, it will be known.

Telling the news on Twitter is different than telling the news in a magazine or newspaper. I realize journalists have a difficult job these days. The way mistakes are made and disseminated and the way they are corrected, is utterly different on Twitter than at a magazine like Wired or a newspaper like the New York Times. This places unfamiliar demands on journalists and novel demands on consumers of news. And the bigger burden is on the consumers, which I imagine makes the journalists especially cross. Because if we consumers want to have a real-time account of events—and we do, it really makes us a better informed citizenry—we have to understand how to deal better with ambiguity.

The hardest part of this was how far from any actual evidence there actually was, and how quickly and how painfully this traveled…We find it incredibly unfortunate that media outlets were so quick to jump without checking with authorities, but we hope they use the same energy and intensity they showed in the past 24 hours to really help us find Sunil.
Hello, Digital Public Library of America
The Digital Public Library of America launched today with "photographs, manuscripts, books, sounds, moving images, and more—from libraries, archives, and museums around the United States."
Its goal is to create "an open, distributed network of comprehensive online resources that would draw on the nation's living heritage from libraries, universities, archives, and museums in order to educate, inform, and empower everyone in current and future generations."
Exhibitions are here. And your inner hacker can access the DPLA's API here. Yes, the library has an API, which is awesome. One app currently using it is the Library Observatory:
Library Observatory is an interactive tool for searching and visualizing the DPLA collections, accompanied by an interactive documentary that weaves together history, visualizations, and audio about the making, use, and enduring significance of library data and the collections they describe.
Another app searches both the DPLA and Europeana, a European project similar to it, simultaneously giving results from each.
Reporting Traumatic Events
Steven Gorelick, professor of media studies, Hunter College:
Be very careful about the experts you select as sources. These kinds of high-profile stories are magnets for everyone from legitimate scholars and practitioners to self-proclaimed "profilers."
Serious experts are almost always quick to admit that there is no easy explanation for why and how something happened, especially before even the most basic information is released. Beware of the expert source who is just dying to be helpful. And perk up your ears when someone tells you: "I really need to get more information before I have anything useful to say."
Scott Wallace, freelance journalist:Despite the fact that we are all on deadline, you must take the time to breathe, empathize and feel the pain of survivors and loved ones whom you interview and come in contact with…
…Above all, forget trying to "scoop" your colleagues on this story. A spirit of cooperation should reign among the reporters, photographers and producers on a story like this. It may be useful to work in tandem with a colleague or two from some other media outlet, sharing the material and the experience of the interview rather than putting the same subject through it multiple times.
Lena Jakobsson, television producer:
Chasing victims' family members down the street seems like a far more reasonable idea if CNN and MSNBC and FOX and all the nets are doing it, too, and you're about to get yelled at if you don't get that video. But you always have at least a few seconds to stop and listen to what your gut is telling you. Ratings come and go. The impact on your integrity, and on the people you're covering — that stays.
Al Tompkins, Poynter
Clearly tell the public what you know and what you do not know. With a story like this — one that changes by the hour — do not assume the public is up to date…
…Acknowledge the emotional impact of the tragedy. Online conversations about the bombings, especially Twitter, have been loaded with people who are in distress, wondering what has become of humankind. Don't underestimate that feeling. Spend some time and space honoring the good people who performed selfless acts in a time of crisis and beyond. Work with your local crisis lines, counselors and clergy, and stay in touch with the pulse of what they are hearing.
Dave Weigel, Slate:
In a situation like this, political reporters should probably make a quiet, temporary exit from the scene. There will be political angles in the reaction to this story, because this sort of nightmare knocks everything else out of the news cycle. Gosnell? Manchin-Toomey? Immigration? They're in the middle of the paper if they're anywhere. They're paused, as is any speculation about the motivation for the attack. Who has ever speculated about that and not gone on to total, moronic infamy?
Jeremy Stahl, Slate
[D]on't use a tragedy to make a political point before the facts are even known. Shortly after the attacks, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof tweeted this inanity: "explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment." Probably realizing how his snarkiness sounded under the circumstances, Kristof quickly deleted the tweet and called it a "low blow." On the right, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin sent out this doozy, comparing the national media's coverage of Boston to its alleged non-coverage of the Kermit Gosnell abortion case.

Trim Carpentry (Popular Mechanics) : To add character and beauty to a home and still be practical, installing trim is one of the most effective and simple methods. It can conceal and seal gaps around doors, windows, floors, and ceilings while providing visual interest and shadow lines to otherwise bland items. Use it to draw attention to design elements such as a high ceiling or to serve as a transition between varied materials. Skilled trim carpenters know how to make the most of this useful form of woodwork, so things fit perfectly on walls - even ones that aren't plumb or level - the walls most people have in reality. Luckily, anyone can learn the pros' secrets to obtaining that elusive perfect fit, thanks to Popular Mechanics and Rick Peters. Popular Mechanics covers everything: the equipment needed and how to use it; window and door casings; baseboards; all types of molding (including the always-challenging crown molding); wainscoting; and architectural trim like gingerbread. There are even insider tips on decorative molding, including how to dress up a plain door so it looks like it has raised panels. For owners wanting to add trim to their home, this book is the most valuable tool of all!

Theme: The World of Opportunities
Berlin, Germany
February 16th, 2013
About this event
TEDx events are independently organized conferences that seek to create a unique experience by inviting inspiring speakers to share and spread their ideas. TEDxESCPBerlin is entirely organized by students of the ESCP Europe Business School and took place on the Berlin campus.
The event was held under the topic "World of Opportunities". In a time with increasing global mobility, we experience new chances for progress every day. Be they big or small, be they in a personal or organizational context – we ourselves decide whether to embrace these opportunities or not. They may seem menacing at first and you may have to gather all your courage to take on the challenge. Still, it is worth it!
We aim to provide a platform where the smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries, and most fascinating personalities from diverse backgrounds will inspire others and be inspired themselves. They all have in common that they took on a challenging opportunity they were either given or created themselves. Every speaker is given up to 15 minutes to talk about a project he has worked on or any other insight he has gained and would like to spread.

Asked by sudhamadhuri, about 6 years ago under
Pharmacy or Pharmacology is one of the main disciplines under Biomedical Science and the pharmaceutical industry. There are many disciplines within the Biomedical sciences.

Promotion 2014
Note: Sorry for grammatical errors. My mind is on vacation mode.
YEAH!!!! BOOM BABY!!!! A year full of emotional eating, especially almost weekly fix of ice cream, emotional and grade roller coaster and gaining 5 kgs. I just can't express how happy I am today. I thought this moment would never come. I really thought this will not happen. I had a dream fews days before the promotion board and our final exam in Anatomy. The batch is in chaos because of the promotion. I suddenly feel anxious, thinking that I might not make it.
The promotion board is scheduled yesterday. But for unknown reason, it was moved today. I'm really restless since yesterday and keep praying that I lift my worries to Him and trust Him. He blessed me with this gift. I really owe this to the big GUY up there. I'm beyond grateful.
I was hesitant before entering med school, I'm not confident with myself. My mother said that I should take this opportunity. Not all can go to med school. She said that if ever I didn't make it, it is not meant for me. If I'm promoted, God is leading me there.
My batch mates are almost all are smart, talented, and hardworking people. Many of them are scholars. Many are also aspiring to be one. So their grades also reflect. That's why we have a gap with them and the bottom (including me). I can't help to compare myself. This really gradually decrease my self-esteem. My motto was "Compete with yourself". There are moments that I just can't deal and frustrations are building up and just want to walk away. I came to a point that I pity myself. But after sometime, I realised that I just have to do my best and lift everything to Him.
Then, this came. I feel blessed.
I'm hoping that this will serve as an inspiration and will keep me forward next school year, that I will do my best and He will do the rest.

Craft beer is life here at Stone. In the best cases, however, our beer has the ability to make positive impacts on the lives of others. Such is the case with one of the first beers brewed up on our brand new ten-barrel brewhouse at our equally new second farm-to-table restaurant, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station: Operation Homefront IPA. Liberty Station Brewing Manager Kris Ketcham joined the ranks of several brewers across the country to craft this beer for Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization supporting and bettering the lives of U.S. Military families, as part of their Hops For Heroes initiative. That program was supported not only by American craft breweries including Left Hand Brewing Company, Cigar City Brewing and 21st Amendment Brewery, but also Major League Baseball and Louisville Slugger, making for a great example of strength in numbers being channeled into making a big difference through great beer and even better intentions.
The Stone Mixtape Ale Series
In the craft beer universe, there are companies like The Lost Abbey and Cascade Brewing that are considered the masters of blending barrel-aged beers. Count us among the masses who bow to such expert operations for their abilities in this specialty area. Though not widely known throughout beerophile circles, the brew crew at Stone has dabbled in the blending arena over the past half-decade, so we know how much skill it takes to develop oaken masterpieces versus unpalatable wood beer soup. What's that? You are among the many unaware of our blending forays? Well, let's change that immediately. Allow us to introduce you to the Stone Mixtape Ale series.

The fun just keeps coming with Hailey Glassman.
It's no secret that Jon Gosselin's girlfriend likes the herb. But in a new video airing on tonight's Inside Edition, she shows that she knows her way around a bong, too.
In another clip, she's smoking the peace pipe pantless on the couch and later passed out. Classy!
Of course, it seems like she and Jon are ahead of the curve on this one and tried to do damage control with their family-friendly playground outing yesterday...
The two were spotted at Harriman State Park in New York on Monday, where they held hands and picked flowers, and Jon pushed Hailey on the swings.
We're not buying it, though. And Kate Gosselin probably isn't, either. Wonder if she will let Hailey be around the kids when Jon's got them on the weekends? Doubt it.
Think Jon's new Star reporter gal-pal will make him forget about Hailey? Check out who else he's seen lately.

Nearly half of this summer's fatalities on Utah roads were caused by rollover crashes. Officials worry too many of them may have resulted from people overcorrecting and swerving to avoid hitting the small plastic poles topped with reflectors that line most state highways.
Robert Hull, director of traffic and safety for the Utah Department of Transportation, demonstrated Thursday that those poles are designed to fall over and pop back up when hit — so drivers need not swerve around them in emergencies.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
He accelerated to 45 mph on remote State Road 202 near the Great Salt Lake in Magna. He left the side of the roadway, as some drivers do when they are drowsy or distracted. Instead of swerving around reflector poles, he drove through them and back onto the highway.
"It definitely makes some noise when you hit them. But they are intended to flex, and there was nothing that hung me up," he said. It did no noticeable damage to the car — or the reflector poles for that matter. "And it's definitely better than rolling," he said.
UDOT held the news event to talk about what it calls the 100 deadliest days on Utah roads each year — between Memorial Day and Labor Day. "Over the past 10 years, we have had 96 fatalities on average" in that period each year, about 35 percent higher than other times of the year, Hull said.
"Last year, we had 68. This year, we had 77. So we are nine above last year. Even though our overall numbers for this year are down, it highlights the concern that our numbers are creeping up again, and we want to address some of the issues we saw this year," he said.
Most worrisome was the high number of fatalities this year from rollovers — 34 of the 77.
Hull says those statistics show the need to avoid driving drowsy and to avoid distractions — which cause many to leave the roadway. For those who do find themselves off the road, he suggested several steps to stay alive.
"First, don't panic. It's difficult," he said. "But take your foot off the accelerator and slowly get your vehicle to stop or get back under control. Don't jerk the wheel or slam the brakes." He notes most highways have sizable shoulders plus additional "recovery area" along the side that are clear of obstacles. And as he showed, don't be afraid to hit small reflector poles.
"We design, build and maintain our roadways to be as safe and forgiving as possible," he said.
Hull added what he says is his top safety hint. "Always make sure you buckle up before you drive. That is your last line of defense."
UDOT data showed that of the fatal crashes this summer, 40 percent also involved improper restraint. Data also show that 8 percent involved aggressive driving, 8 percent involved drunken or impaired driving, another 8 percent involved drowsy driving and 5 percent involved distracted driving.
Holiday weekends often had higher-than-normal numbers of fatal accidents. Independence Day weekend had 10, Memorial Day weekend had five and Labor Day weekend had three. Pioneer Day had just one.

Open up your php.ini file (in C:\xampp somewhere) and look for date.timezone and make it look like this:
date.timezone = Europe/Paris
This is a setting which should always be set in PHP and is therefore not a SilverStripe issue.

– Diana Furchtgott-Roth, former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. The opinions expressed are her own. —
The economic outlook is bleak. Unemployment is rising. Credit markets are dysfunctional. Students are worried about job prospects, for good reason.
If you're a young person choosing a career path, forget banking, forget autos, and forget Wall Street. A new study coming out from the Hudson Institute in January, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, shows that enrolling in a community college and earning a two-year degree or certificate in a health-related profession—the only field that showed significant job gains in November, and the one with the most jobs openings—can open a pathway to higher earnings.
These findings demonstrate that the role of community colleges in American higher education has been expanding for good reason: they are cost effective.
The study, by economists Louis Jacobson and Christine Mokher of CNA in Alexandria, Virginia, examines 145,000 students in Florida from 1996 to 2007, using individual data on education and earnings.

TEAMS: Tennessee Titans, St. Louis Rams
Next up on our tour of the Titans position by position as we rapidly approach the beginning of their 2012 regular season is the cornerbacks. I wrote in the offseason positional analysis that I thought cornerback was the Titans' strongest defensive position in 2011. I'm much less certain that will be the case in 2012, thanks to the loss of Cortland Finnegan, but do think it will be one of the more interesting positions to watch. With Finnegan gone, the leader of the group is last year's other starter at the position, Jason McCourty. In a year, the former Rutgers player has gone from the clear underdog in most fans' eyes for a starting job to a five year, $40 million contract extension. That's quite a change. As I noted in the offseason positional analysis, McCourty has good length and deep speed, but not exceptional short area quickness and is not particularly agile (twin brother Devin was red-shirted and a first-, rather than...

This post is not about Christopher Hitchens. It is just that eulogizing of the writer has me pondering the adulation we give people and ideas believed to be outside the bounds of "political correctness."
Hitch was a polarizing figure: He could be a louche wit and raconteur, an exceptional writer, a tireless advocate for the Godless, a moving chronicler of the end of life and also a pompous sexist, racist warmonger and Islamophobe, drunk on privilege (and whatever else). I'll remind that Hitchens was the guy who argued that women are inherently not funny, who attempted to paint Michelle Obama as a black militant on the strength of a college thesis about the alienation black students often feel on majority white campuses, and who said of the war in Iraq: "The death toll is not nearly high enough... too many [jihadists] have escaped."
Now, despite all that, many folks were fond of Hitchens--at least that is the impression I get from comments on Gawker, Salon, Slate and the like. How does one square abhorrent pronouncements by a man whose work can also be admirably challenging and engrossing? Apparently, it is by evoking the rather vague and puzzling commendation: Well, even if I didn't agree with him, he had the courage to say unpopular things. I keep hearing this in relation to Christopher Hitchens and I wonder: Is the will to say detested things praise-worthy, in and of itself?
At the root of the discussion is the myth of "political correctness," which I wrote about a few years ago in this space:
Disdain for "political correctness" is often positioned as a concern that some important truth is not being spoken for fear of offending someone. But that concern is nothing but smoke and mirrors. To invoke "political correctness" is really to be concerned about loss of power and privilege. It is about disappointment that some "ism" that was ingrained in our society, so much that citizens of privilege could express the bias through word and deed without fear of reprisal, has been shaken loose. Charging "political correctness" generally means this: "I am comfortable with my privilege. I don't want to have to question it. I don't want to have to think before I speak or act. I certainly don't wish to inconvenience myself for the comfort of lesser people (whoever those people may be--women, people of color, people with disabilities, etc.)" Read more...

" Blushing bunnies, how they roam free ".2 Reviews
Blushing bunny shy and sweet, lovely bunny cute and unique, Blushing bunny hop this way let me kiss your blushing face. ( Written by me )
Mikey and gerard was dropped off at the nearby newark police station and there they waited for their new foster mother to pick them up. Mikey sat at a small table in a even smaller chair and played with the position of his glasses, gerard stood some ways away from him near the wall looking at everything but really seeing nothing. Outside rain fell hard and the clouds made everything look so dark the sky was growling and the air was thick with water of it's own. Gerard felt really angry for no apparent reason now he hated his father so damn much the fucking quiter how could he just give them up like that?.
So whenever gerard became upset he became really artsy, so he pulled out a thin and small black notebook and a fountain pen and beganned to draw. Mikey now rested his head on the small table with his back towards gerard, who had took to drawing him like that. Gerard sketched mikey's clothes and his hair that hung down to his shoulders, he also sketched the way his arms were positioned and his legs being crossed at the ankles. Gerard then added a bunny hood ontop of mikey's head one ear straight while the other crooked he called the picture
" Blushing Bunny ".
Mikey heard that gerard had got really quiet so he sat up and turned around, catching gerard putting the notebook down " What cha doing? " mikey asked getting up and coming over to gerard " Drawing ya " gerard replied showing him. " Aww " said mikey looking at it " I'm a bunny " and he hugged him, gerard held mikey to him saying:
" Blushing bunny shy and sweet, lovely bunny cute and unique, Blushing bunny hop this way let me kiss your blushing face ".
" Real nice " said a woman as she came into the small room staring in awe at the hugging brothers. " I am mrs. Nelly your foster mother and by that poem i am surprised to know that you are the boy that purposely killed your mother ". Gerard stared hard at her as he lowered mikey down and stood up, mikey instantly hugged gerard's left hip snuggling under his arm and glaring at her too.
" What can i say? " said gerard " She was a bitch " mrs. nelly then smiled " So your like that huh? " she said, closing the distance between them " I'm a mother so am i a bitch too? " and gerard replied " That depends on how you treat me and my lil brother ". After this mrs. nelly then signed over some documents with the cops and got a bag full of clothes and supplies then took gerard and mikey and put them in her car. When mrs. nelly asked mikey to take the back seat he loudly refused so gerard said that mikey could share the front seat with him instead, mikey agreed.
The car drive was slow and quite boring to gerard, but to mikey he gazed out the window at the night sky and the clouds that suffocated it. The surroundings later changed from the city to the wide open country and the fields became wider and more filled with grass, alot of tree's stood around with empty branches and the area looked like someone had dumped a bucket of marshmallows on the ground, with how thick the snow was.
For hour's gerard and mikey seen no houses, it was just wilderness, after wilderness, after wilderness. But finally a huge house was seen in the distance that had a apparent playground to it, gerard and mikey was both hypnotized by the fields that surrounded the place though and what moved along with the car. A herd of black bunnies were now hopping along with the moving car their ears bouncing along with them, mikey was entranced with how beautifully black they were they reminded him of gerard's hair.
Mrs. nelly suddenly beganned to talk, telling them that they would only remain here for a little while, that ultimately they would be re-adopted by possibly different parents and families thus seperating them forever. She attempted to then go into the rules that applied at this place and with the other kids here, basically that gerard and mikey would have to be nice and share everything with the other children.
But gerard and mikey they weren't listening, instead they were both gathered at the window staring at the pretty bunnies. 2 bunnies stuck out in particular because they were alone and by themselves, while the others hopped together these 2 hopped alone. " That's us mikey " whispered gerard into mikey's ear " All alone in this world seperate from everybody else we walk alone " mikey in complete love and awe, looked up at gerard and asked " But your the bunny that leads my lost soul right? " and gerard kissed him softly and said:
" Right ".
The car now parked into the snow covered driveway parking at gerard and mikey's new home.
Harrow here thankyou everyone for reading this and giving me feedback i love all of you. I put the concept of black bunnies because i have one and they remind me of being so beautifully emo review and read guys okay and until next time bye!.
