I know it has been a while since I've posted advice on this site, but I'm back! Listen, some of you out there are dating some hella attractive people and when you have an attractive girlfriend, people will holla at your girl. And if you have an attractive boyfriend, other people will check him out or flirt with him too. A lot of you guys probably feel protective, insecure, or even jealous in these type of situations. I mean, we all get a little protective, insecure, and jealous of anything as human beings sometimes, it's natural. You have something and you don't want to share it with anyone else. I get it. I date one hot ass girl, and she gets hit on often, I know how it is.
If you're going to date someone sexy, date them with confidence. You just gotta assume that everyone (yes, even your friends and their friends) wants to get in your girl's (or man's) pants. There will always be people checking them out, and hitting them up BUT as long as you know you're the only one in their hearts.. and in their vag (if you have a girlfriend) then you shouldn't be over-thinking so much. They're with you for a reason. There's a lot of people out there they could be with but they are choosing to be with you. So stop being over-protective, stop being insecure, and stop being jealous. You have to realize that, you know what, you're sexy too. Yeah, your boyfriend or girlfriend is mad sexy, and there will always be people who want to look and want to touch but at the end of the day they're coming home to you so there's nothing to worry about.
Poor Jimmy
over where
Haha I can't say what's gonna happen in the future, but of course I do. Why would I be with her for this long if I didn't feel like there was something real here? chy'all feel? =P
I'm actually not bruhhh! Hehe i was just messin x)
Lol you must be triippinn! Have you SEEEN me though!?
Hair always on point, teeth are straight and white, I got prettiful lips, and I'm smooth azzz fuck! AND I have a bomb ass girlfriend. Now go back to writing anons to randoms. I'm fuckin CUTE bruh.
Look, I am no love-guru but whether good or bad; wrong or right, these are my thoughts and opinions.
A lot of people confuse the meaning of falling in love with love and falling in love with a person. Loving someone and being in love with someone is also confused by many.
The media, society, and people around us hype up the meaning of being in love too much that so many people are "in love" with their partners these days, even before knowing much about them. Falling in love with "love" is like falling in love with the spark, the feelings, the emotions. Most importantly, it is being over excited about the idea of falling in love, but not with the person you are in a relationship with. And sadly, not much reality is in it. It is only your imagination, thinking you're in love with someone, when you're really just in love with the idea of love.
Loving is simple. You can love anyone. I love my family, friends, life, etc. When you love someone, you start caring about them. You love them because they're always there for you, or sometimes you learn to love them because they're family.
Being in love with someone is different. You fall in love with everything about them - the good and the bad. You love every word and action made by them. You love everything they hate and love about themselves. You memorize every little thing about them even when you have a bad memory. You want them in your past, present, and future. They are someone you can share your life with. You believe that fate has destined you to be with them. They make you happier than you have ever been. You could see yourself going to the depths of the earth and pass through infinite obstacles with them and still be together. You know you're perfect for each other. You know this is the best feeling ever. They complete you. You feel like the luckiest person in the world to be able to finally find the one.
To finish this off, I'll say this: True love never has a happy ending. That is because true love doesn't have an ending. A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes in the promise of love, no matter how long the time, how big the problem, and how far the distance.
I am in love with you.
There's someone who likes you, buuuuuut you don't like them the same way and you don't want to hurt them. OR you keep getting a facebook message, text, or call from someone that you don't like, how they even got your number? I don't know. But the fact is they just keep hitting you up. What do you do in a situation like that!?
Avoid eye contact/walk faster when you see them. Pretend you didn't see them.
When they finally get your attention or just stop you out of nowhere even after avoiding eye contact and walking faster and start talking to you, what do you do? You give them vague, short, uninteresting answers.
If that still doesn't bore them, start talking about other people and explaining how attractive they are. Even better, describe someone else that are the exact opposite of them. Maybe they'll get the point then.
And if they STILL don't get the point, and they ask if you want to hang, then tell them you got other plans or right now is not a good time.
And if they're STILL consistent to the point that they're asking you to be in a relationship with you. Say you're not ready for a relationship.
If you're in a relationship, and they're trying to get you, tell them you're in a relationship. Start describing your lover. Don't stop talking about your lover till they get the point.
If you're the person who's hitting them up, STOP! You're making yourself look bad! You're putting so much effort in to get nothing back!? That's not fair. You're lowering your value. You know how much you're worth, and you're not worth 0 effort, when you're giving so much of yours. Just drop them.
A lot of people have a situation where someone likes them, and they don't like them back. How to tell them you don't like them can get complicated sometimes. If you tell them the wrong way, it might suck tremendously. Let's be honest, we don't want to hurt our friends. Even if we don't want to be with them, you don't want to crush their hopes and dreams. A lot of us kinda just let that happen.
Always tell them that they're like a sibling to them. I'm pretty sure they'll know that you don't want to get involved with them at all whatsoever because you wouldn't want to get into a relationship with a sibling.
Use the word friend. "It's amazing to have a friend like you, I would never want to compromise that."
Tell them about other people, or always talk about how you have a crush on someone else. It might make them like you more.. but I guess it's kind of hinting at them that you don't want to be with them.
Tell them that they would make a really good boyfriend or girlfriend.. with someone else. Or tell them they would look cute with *insert name*. Just always push them away somehow.
Stop hugging them. If they come toward you with a hug, just give them a high five. Make sure there's no chance for them to like you further.
If they're one of your best friends, I guess the best thing you could do is be completely honest with them. Do not be a jerk about it, just tell them why you don't like them. You really don't want ruin the friendship because that can happen sometimes.
When someone tells you that they like you, and after you friendzone them, there could be a little separation in the friendship. Sometimes they don't want to talk to you because they're hurt. Be prepared to talk to them less.
A lot of people get into relationships prematurely. We're taught at a young age that it's okay to get in and out of relationships. We're taught that if that person is not good enough for us, we got to get out of that relationship. Sometimes you shouldn't get into a relationships too fast because some people aren't ready for it. If you're still hitting up people you used to see, hitting up your ex, hitting up anyone for that matter then you probably shouldn't be getting into a relationship.
The problem these days is that there are some people that are greedy and want attention from anyone. It doesn't matter where they get it or who they get it from. If you're getting into a serious relationship, there should be one person that you're physically, mentally, and emotionally involved with. The problem is that some people think that it's okay to do that with other people and that ruins relationships. If you still want someone else, if you're still crushing on someone else, if you think that there's someone else better for you, then you probably shouldn't get into a relationship. You don't want to get into a relationship just to get out of it.
Get to know a person before you get into a relationships because if you don't, and all of a sudden they change their minds in the middle of the relationship, that'll fuck things up. That's why you shouldn't have gotten into a relationship to begin with. Sometimes people get into relationships for the wrong reasons. It's okay to be attractive but if you're basing your relationship solely on physical attraction, then you're doing it wrong. Take your time, get to know them before jumping into relationships. It's stupid to get into relationships just to break up. Make sure you know that person before you get involved with them.
It's just so annoying to me that people are getting in and out of relationships these days just because they don't know what they want. If you're with someone and you want to make it last, treat them well. Treat them how you want to be treated. The effort you had in the beginning of the relationship shouldn't change. Just because you have them doesn't mean you won't lose them.
Don't get into relationships if you're not ready for that shit. If you want to be single, be single, don't be playing with other people's heads. And most importantly, don't cheat. Cheating is terrible. You're going to fuck up that person for the rest of their lives. If they were really into you and you cheated on them, you're hurting their trust. And they'll have the biggest struggle to find trust for someone ever again.
(This can be aimed towards how to get a guy as well)
The first thing you want to do is get her attention.
If she doesn't know if you even exist, then everything you do from this point won't even matter. Dressing well, and looking good doesn't always get her attention. You have to get over your shyness and say hi, make yourself stand out. If you get her attention once, she'll be looking out for you.
When they seem like they're having a good time when you talk to them.
First impressions are everything. You may think you're the most boring person in the world but if you can make her think you're interesting, you're on the right track. The best thing you can do in a conversation is to get her to ask you questions. If she's asking questions, then it shows that she's trying to get to know you. Don't tell her everything at once. You got to do this while being flirty at the same time. Make her enjoy her time talking to you. Every time she thinks about you, happiness has to enter her brain.
Don't be afraid to crack a couple jokes.
The best thing at the beginning of flirting is inside joking. You start creating this connection. You'll have this thing only you guys have in common, this thing that only you guys joke about. The more inside jokes, the closer you'll get.
You got to make it known that you are available.
If she wants you, she could try to get you. But with doing this, you got to make it known that you are available but hard as hell to get with. You got to be desirable. Don't be too cocky. Confidence is good, but not cocky because that's kind of a turn off. You got to be okay with yourself.
Fluid conversations are the best.
Be comfortable with yourself. Do not be scared when talking to her. Don't be scared to bump her, touch her arm, etc.
Don't give it up too soon.
Be mysterious. If you want this girl to be serious with you and have a future with you, don't give it up so soon. If all she wants to do is get in your pants, don't let her. That's just going to lower your chance. Play a little bit of hard to get.
Don't be afraid to act stupid around her.
Sometimes the girl just wants to have fun and be funny around you so that they're more comfortable with you. But doing this, you got to act stupid and make it known that you can be intelligent too. Have some fun and jokes but have serious conversations as well. Have intellectual conversations. Talk about the real shit, don't be fake about it. Talk about something close to you. Open up. If you open up, then she'll be open and it'll bring you guys closer.
Don't be afraid to try to look good.
There's nothing wrong with putting something nice on and smelling nice for the girl you're trying to get. First impressions are important. How she sees you in the beginning is very crucial so don't be afraid to look attractive. Physical attraction is always first, then comes the inner beauty of a person.
And if you can get her friends to like you, then that's a big plus.
And make sure she's available too, you don't want to home wreck someone that's already in a relationship.
As if the past 4 years were only yesterday. From the day I stepped up looking up at that big sign "Welcome to Humber College…" 'til the day I glanced back at it knowing I am done. Everything seems to pass by so fast. I can't believe it, it's still so overwhelming. I remember exactly the first day of my First year, sitting by myself at break not knowing anyone, daydreaming about the day I'll have to dream back about this day that I'm sitting here dreaming about. Does that sound crazy? Nope. I'm doing it right now. Let's rewind.
Four years ago, I was not, and definitely, who I was now. I was unkempt, dirty, annoying, and totally unaware of my responsibility as a student. It was too hot to even think about listening to the speakers explain how my next four years were going to be. High expectation from the profs, but mine was set as low as ground zero. Back then, games and TV were my priority, school wasn't.
Time flew by. Next thing I know it was the end of the second year. Where was I? Still at the same school surrounded by the same people doing the same tedious jobs as usual. Even my poor academic reports reflected my lack of interest in school. Oh well, I was too young. Why should I care, right? Wrong. Everything started catching up to me. My mind grew a little more conscious about school.
I almost failed second year but thank God, I didn't. It was then that I finally realized where I'm standing in life. I was on the edge of corrupting myself. Third year arrived. I got more and more serious about school, I woke up.
By the end of the year, I changed my life around. Realized, I should really focus more on school than anything else around me. I brought my grades up, and reassured my responsibility as a daughter and a student. My marks went up, I realized who my real friends were and they had more respect for me than ever before. I had myself back, and most important, I was better than my past.
Today, I can't help but to be proud of who I've become. I go around talking to kids who are hitting that same stage I was years ago and encourage them to be better and work harder in life for whatever their future endeavors put them through. That's why I enjoy spending one-on-one time with people, or a group, and tell my past. It might not sink into some of you, but believe me, it's so much more when you have to experience it yourself. Ask me to sit down and talk to you and I'll gladly do.
Love. What does love mean these days? A word? A poem? A relationship? A broken heart? A never ending struggle between two souls? Whatever your interpretation is, the media and the people around us have changed our definition of love, to the point that it just isn't the same anymore. Why? Because nowadays, we don't find the answer ourselves. Instead, we let others persuade us, guide us, give us their own perspective on love and from there, we shape it, mold it, and make it to be however others vision it. The idea of love isn't original anymore, it's being imitated and duplicated by the minds of millions of people.
How, you might ask? Simple, because we are so bombarded with all these ideas of true love, we can't even define love by ourselves. Like a maze, we take on so many approaches before we find that path. With people who characterize the word 'Love' for us, we steal the idea and base upon it. And if it doesn't cross paths with how love is set out to be like, we disallow it. You can't let others characterize love for you, you have to define it yourself. It's like asking "what do I have to do to become a great beatboxer?" You are already making a big mistake here, asking others to define it for you. Nobody defines you, you define yourself.
So no matter how people define "love", it will never be as insightful, pure, sincere, and unadulterated as you would vision it yourself to be.
Therefore, I end my argument here, and reiterate myself – vision love yourself.
True love never has a happy ending. That's because true love doesn't have an ending. A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes in the promise of love, no matter how long the time and how far the distance.
Let's change people's definition of love.
You can kill em with kindness but the point is actually to try and win them over. I believe that if you're kind to people, they in turn will be kind to others. And you can break that whole cycle of hate.
I don't have anything against smokers. Smokers are people and I ain't about the hate life. What I do think, however, is that smoking is a bigggg turn off for me and with everything that it does to your body, why would you choose to pick up the pack? I won't judge you if you smoke, but don't expect me to stand near you!
Sometimes it's hard to see past everything that's going on around you, but from what I've learned through experience is that things always get better. Life's hellaaaa hard sometimes but when I'm feeling down, I just remember that if I think positively, things will turn out positive! It's all in your mindset, you know?
This is actually roya right now, and i would like to say that the fact that sophia is very well known had nothing to do with me wanting to get close to her and know her better. she's a great person and i truly enjoy her company and she has been there for me through a really rough patch that i was going through, and i'm so glad to have her in my life.
^ I just thought I should publish this for old time's sake. ;) -Roya
Your parents are ridiculous for saying that. So stupid. Hey man, we all go through hard times. I know it seems like I'm happy all the time and that me and my fam always get along but that's not always the case. There have definitely been times in my life where I felt like I was fucking everything up, and I couldn't do anything right. You ever try telling your parents how you feel? Sounds lame, but sometimes you just gotta sit down and let them know that it makes you feel like shit when they say those things to you. Even though it gets depressing, your life is barely starting, dude. There is SO much more to do and SO much more life to live. It seems like everything is pointless right now, but things always get better, and after you get passed all the bullshit, you gotta realize how lucky you are to be alive. There are people out there starving, handicapped, sick, dying.. and they're still enjoying life. So cheer up. You're going to be fine. :)
When we meet our eyes, I feel the heavy load of life's burdens lighten. At that moment, you make me feel weak; weak in a good way. My feelings for you grow each and everyday as we become closer, the feelings overload my heart.
I treasure each and every smile you give me, they make me smile too. With so many things that happen in a single day, hearing from you is the only way to make my day feel complete. There are many mysteries to you that I have yet to uncover.
I am thankful to have you in my life and I am truly blessed to be all yours. It's like heaven's gift to me was you. Thank you for holding my hand when I'm lost, holding me when I'm cold, and comforting me when I'm feeling down. You know I would do the same for you. I hope that the key I hold is the one that opens your whole entire heart, just for me.
Honestly, eventually you just kinda learn that it's not always that serious. I mean there's always going to be people who hate. I mean, I realized that anybody who takes their time out of their day just to say something negative has nothing going on for themselves, yenno? So it's like, you shouldn't be mad at them or taking it to heart, you should be giving them hugs because that dude's probably like touched by his uncles or their mom just never gave them hugs lol yenno? Jokes aside, it's like.. if someone has that much hate in their hearts, then they probably got problems and I'm definitely not going to let their problems interfere with my life.. feel me?
I don't know. I just knew my heart decided music before my mind did.
Music is like eating to me, and I was totally oblivious to that fact throughout a big portion of my life. I only registered this when I got into beatboxing. Beatboxing is a habit that became a dream that turned into a reality. It really made me realize that anything is possible with an unbreakable drive and positive mindset. Hope that answered your question.
Trust me, there will always be people who stare, who hate, and who are jealous of these types of couples. I mean, look, there's a lot of ignorant, stupid ass people out there, in every situation. So you can't let other people's ignorance keep you from being happy, yenno what I mean? Forget the haters and the ignorant people, just keep loving ;) They're just jealous.
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will respect you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what they're doing just to spend time with you.
Someone who will be with you no matter what people say about you.
Someone who likes you for who you are, not who you were.
That is all.
Are ones that happen unexpectedly. Ones where you met by accident but stayed on purpose. Ones where you can be true to yourself. Ones where you can be comfortable in. Ones where you can act like lovers and bestfriends at the same time. Ones that have more playful moments than serious arguments. Ones where you know both of you will never intentionally hurt each other. Ones where there's no judgement of the past being made. Ones that have nothing but trust. Ones that you could see lasting for a long time. Ones where you understand each other. Ones without drama. Ones where everyone looks at and thinks "damn, I wish I had that". Ones that people look up to. Ones that make you feel happier than you already are. Ones that add positivity and happiness to your life.
Because that, my friend, is my relationship.
If she doesn't love you then there's someone who will,
give you that feeling better than a happy pill.
Forget your worries and hold you tight,
making sure that everything is alright.
If she doesn't tell you you're beautiful; someone would,
making that person wish they could.
Staring into your eyes talking with a smile,
maybe a giggle every once in a while.
If she don't ask you about your day,
someone will ask if you're okay.
All it takes is a hug to feel better,
if you're cold they would give up their sweater.
If she doesn't show passion there's someone who will,
making love causing you to never become ill.
Cured with a cuddle and a kiss goodnight,
making up after a simple fight.
If she doesn't want you, someone will take you,
and love you for you and only you.
If she doesn't care, then why should you?
Because there's always someone waiting right here..
That someone is me.
Then why you anon!? Lol thanks doee.
lalalalalaaaaa <3
I'm getting headaches from all these problems going around. I'd like to say it doesn't bother me, but everything seems to find a way to get to me and I just hope it would all disappear. I'm sick of all the things that are bringing me down, I do everything to fix it and lighten my load, but something just brings me down even further. I feel like I'm moving forward but taking two steps back, I feel like I'm on a damn treadmill; running but getting no where.
Don't me get wrong, I'm not bitter, I'm not depressed; I'm just sick of some things. Like those days where you just want someone to take care of you. I lost 5 pounds from stress! All this stress is getting to me. I just want a break. But every time I try to take one, more problems arise like, "Where are you Sophia? We need you." I don't think I can do this alone anymore, I need help.
Honestly.. I'm a person that forgives but never forgets. Sure, I'm never, almost likely, ever going to have them permanently erased from my mind. But once you realize how young you are and how long your life is, you'll eventually grow to learn and accept the mistakes, the lies, the broken heart, and the promises that were made but never kept.
So my advice to you is pull it together and move on. That's my fair share of wisdom, speaking from experience.
If you want more advice read my post on it: http://tmblr.co/Zi7WWyITDIGq
Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Of all the shows on TV, why Spartacus?
I've complained often about the lack of good shows these days as well as my troubling inability to get into new shows. It's with a heavy heart, then, that I find myself a the conclusion of Spartacus: Blood and Sand's first season only to discover that the show's future is in doubt.
The short of it is that star Andy Whitfield, an Australian no less, has been dealing with cancer and reluctantly withdrawn from the production of season 2 on these grounds. It would appear that the choice facing producers right now is to either recast or can the show and neither option is terribly appealing to me or the apparent legion of Spartacus fans out there.
I find it upsetting that so many seasons of garbage are getting greenlit at the moment. Spartacus is well produced, serviceably written, suitably gratuitous and generally as engaging as a 13-part series can be. For me it is also the first episode-turner, so to speak, in a long time. Not to name names (but come on, Vampire Diaries??) but if Jupiter's bolt were to split the heavens and halt the production of a show, I can think of many more deserving ones.
We will still be getting Spartacus: Gods of the Arena in early 2011 – a questionable prequel mini-series fronted by John Hannah's Batiatus – but with the show's future uncertain this offshoot seems both bittersweet and unsatisfying in advance. I for one will be watching closely as this all pans out. And at least I have Dexter for the moment…

StarCraft II Commentators: Credit Where It's Due
A phenomenon that popped up during the large scale beta test for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty was full HD match commentaries by decent players on Youtube. This certainly wasn't the first the first time commentaries were done for competitive video games or even the first for StarCraft. Nor was this the first instance where the commentators were raised to quasi-celebrity status in a given scene (Chris Hu, anyone?). With SC2 it just took off in a way it hadn't before. It's no secret that I have an axe to grind with the title and so I'd like to share my thoughts on a few of these commentators that helped reignite my interest in this mostly ungodly, difficult of games.
Right in the image above is Mike Husky, who you can follow at the HuskyStarCraft Youtube Channel. This is the guy that got me into the commentary world. His tutorial for early Terran aggression in the middle of the beta was what helped me eke out those few victories I did against unsuspecting n00bs at the time. Say what you will about this guy's style but he has insights coming out the wazoo. He knows his stuff and brings a lot of flavour to matches even if his signoff is a little on the annoying side (no offence, Husky :) ). Here's a sample of his stuff;
HD, the second commentator I think is worth mentioning is actually a close friend of Husky. You can find his channel here. I slightly prefer HD for a few reasons. Firstly, he's a fellow Zerg player and comments about what will and won't work for Zerg. Secondly he takes the whole 'shoutcasting' thing a bit more seriously than Husky and it shows. Not to imply either approach is better, but I much prefer his measure of professionalism. Despite clamouring commenters he has yet to do a 'drunk cast'. I've linked below a sample of HD's vids. You'll notice it's the same match as above; apparently, coincidentally both he and Husky each did their own version of this game and it really does highlight the differences between them.
The third and final I'd like to mention is Psy and I'm starting to think this guy's casts are my favourite of all. Unlike the other two, Psy casts his own games. On occasion he'll end up facing a known player like PainUser, but they're by and large high-, not pro-level matches. The style of commentary is more relaxed but also more sincere overall. I do not want to call the other guys pretentious – there are not – but they definitely speak to an audience where Psy's tone is conversational. He's also an aspiring Zerg player which helps. Check him out at the PsyStarCraft Youtube Channel or have a gander at the below;
These are the guys I follow. There are other casters out there and you'll quickly breadcrumb your way to their channels once you follow the above 3. This is just a quick thanks to guys who taught me Zerglings are not useless against, well, everything and that you can carpet bomb with a few Overlords filled with Banelings. Good times.
SSF4 Makes the 3DS a Day-1 Purchase
Nintendo recently announced the 3DS's specs and availability; February for Japan and March for the rest of us in 2011. Until now little more than a curiosity, the machine's lineup – pledge titles and all – as well its raw processing grunt have framed it as something more. That combined with its current more-expensive-than-a-Wii pricepoint suggest something far more ambitious than its original pitch back in May.
Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, however, is what really secured this an immediate buy at my end. The port supposedly includes all the features of the console release and Arcade-only (so far) extras Yun and Yang bother me little. The recently uncovered 3rd-person perspective ads some additional incentive, although I can already see charging those down, up moves and dealing with crossups is going to get real annoying, real quick.
The only question remaining is whether to pay whatever no-doubt ridiculous premium Play-Asia chooses to stick me with in order to get the device a month before local retail.

Parent University cranks back up at CMS

Next update of rapid app development tool arrives
Spring Roo 1.2.0 delivers first release candidate
The SpringSource team may have been hibernating for a few months but with good reason. Today they certainly had a spring in their step, publishing the first release candidate of the next iteration of their rapid application development tool.
Spring Roo, the open source tool received a big update and a nitrous charge back in September but after listening to community feedback, the team were only happy to oblige with their user's request. The two main updates are multi-module Maven project support and PrimeFaces/JSF 2.0.
They've also listened the community's desire for more annotation flexibility - creating the new @RooJpaEntity and replacing the old @Rooentity with @RooJpaActiveRecord. SpringSource heartily encourage testers and feedback for RC1 in hope of seeing a full release in the near future.
Keep up to date with any latest updates via their Twitter account - @springroo

Dow hits 13,000 on economic data, stimulus hopes
The blue-chip index reaches a milestone not seen in almost 3 months as reports on GDP growth and consumer confidence come in better than expected. Facebook plunges on lackluster earnings and lack of guidance.
By Andrea Tse and wire reports
Stocks rallied Friday after reports on second-quarter U.S. growth and July consumer confidence came in not as weak as expected and as traders worldwide continued to hope for greater central bank intervention in the eurozone.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was up 118 points at 13,006, reaching the millennial milestone for the first time since May 8. The S&P 500 ($INX) was up 16 points at 1,376. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was up 42 points at 2,935.

The Commerce Department reported that the U.S. economy grew by an annual rate of 1.5% in the second quarter after an upwardly revised 2% increase in the first quarter. The advance estimate was in line with expectations.
The report said growth in the U.S. economy reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, private inventory investment and residential fixed investment. Those were partly offset by less state and local government spending.
U.S. stocks soared Thursday, with investors seizing on a promise by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi to pull out all stops to keep the eurozone intact. The ECB will do "whatever it takes to preserve the euro," he said. The rally also drew confidence from favorable U.S. economic data, including a fall in weekly initial jobless claims and an increase in durable goods orders.
On the corporate front, shares of Facebook (FB) were plunging by double digits after the company on Thursday posted an in-line quarterly profit that failed to impress Wall Street. Facebook reported non-GAAP earnings of $295 million, or 12 cents a share, on revenue of $1.18 billion. Analysts were expecting profit of 12 cents a share in the June-ended period on revenue of $1.15 billion.
Amazon.com (AMZN) delivered mixed second-quarter results Thursday, reporting a profit of $7 million, or 1 cent a share, on revenue of $12.83 billion. The latest results included a net loss of $65 million related to the acquisition and integration of Kiva Systems. Analysts were expecting 2 cents a share on revenue of $12.88 billion. For the third quarter ending in September, Amazon forecast an operating loss of between $50 million and $350 million and revenue ranging from $12.9 billion to $14.3 billion. Wall Street's current consensus estimate is for earnings of 14 cents a share in the current quarter on revenue of $14.09 billion.
Drugmaker Merck (MRK) reported second-quarter earnings excluding items of $1.05 a share, surpassing the Wall Street's target of $1.01 a share.
Barclays (BCS) said Friday that the U.K.'s financial regulator has started a probe of four current and former senior employees, including the bank's finance chief. The issue involves the "sufficiency of disclosure" in relation to fees paid when Barclays conducted an emergency 7.3 billion-euro capital increase with Middle Eastern investors in 2008, according to The Wall Street Journal. The U.K. bank last month reached a settlement with U.K. and U.S. regulators after it admitted to trying to manipulate the London interbank offered rate. Barclays on Friday announced first-half profit that exceeded forecasts.

The U.S. economy grew at the slowest pace in almost a year between April and June as consumers and businesses succumbed to a raft of worries about jobs, wages, Washington and Europe.
The Commerce Department reported that Gross Domestic Product expanded at a 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter, after rising at an upwardly revised 2.0 percent pace from January to March. Output for the fourth quarter was raised to a 4.1 percent rate from 3.0 percent.
The second quarter's growth rate, which was in line with economists' expectations, was the slowest since the third quarter of 2011.
And the DOW is UP???????? Really? So nowdays all it takes to raise the markets is either a PROMISE from Europe, no action justa PROMISE, or slow growth but better than expected, still slow as hell, but better than thought...........
What a JOKE!!!!! America used to be known for its drive and initiative, now we are know for our incompetence, and ineptness! We celebrate mediocrity and bail out failures and punish success!
The first quarter GDP was based on Operation Twister stimulus by Bendover Bernanke, strip that away and we would be at 1% or less. yesterdays durable good s reort was hailed as great until you strip out defense spending and aircraft then you go negative. Auto dealers have been using factory inventory received to pad their numbers and even that didn't help.
There is so much spin put on the data to distract the sheeple away from the fact that our economy is in the tank that you get dizzy reading the reports. 3rd Qtr will probably be either less than 1% or even negative.
So the market no longer matters, it's all about stimulus or should we call it manipulation.
I feel like we're on the Titanic, it sank because it didn't need more water. Our economy looks like it's going to sink because it doesn't need more manipulation. Give us a solid foundation to move the economy forward.
If "stimulus" is all we need for more jobs, economic growth and prosperity why stop at $1 Trillion, $2 Trillion or $100 Trillion? -- The problem is solved-- Just print, print and print and GDP, jobs and prosperity will abound. Instead of everybody gets a car, we can play everybody gets a million dollars...
My mama always told me that stupid is what stupid does.
It is absolutely amazing to me that the United States of America, my country, is being run and destroyed by the biggest bunch of shameless liars and propagandists that have ever walked the face of the earth.
The country is dying. Stick that in your GDP Wall Street.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is "trillion" with a "T." That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President's budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we'll spend on Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America's priorities.

It's time to get tough on repeat corporate offenders.
By Bob Monks
As we pass the one-year anniversary of the Gulf Coast disaster, I am reminded of the earlier BP disaster at the Texas City oil refinery in 2005. I'm still astounded that a leading company previously charged with numerous felonies for a major environmental disaster was allowed to have another major disaster just five years later. In the same country. In the same state.
Following the Texas City disaster, I was retained as an expert witness by the plaintiffs in an action brought by injured parties. The extent of the damage was impossible to ignore, and it was clear this couldn't simply be brushed under the rug and huge monies paid to make it go away. The problems were far too pervasive for that. It really was a question of the culture of British Petroleum.

Home Cooking: How Do You Boil Water?
One of our favorite recipes at Epicurious is, essentially, a recipe for boiled water. It has nearly 800 comments - some amused, some indignant, some clever, some silly.
A couple favorites:
The only think that could possibly improve this recipe would be to add a nice, clean, smooth rock to make "Stone Soup." Delicious.
I followed the recipe, and it looked delicious. But it literally burned all the way down, I had to be hospitalized! Horrible recipe!!
I work at a hospital. I am going to pass this recipe on to their kitchen. It will be a definite improvement on their current menu. Thank you.
But the fun leads into a serious question for Home Cooking month: How do you boil water? You've often heard the disparaging comment for a new cook: "He can't even boil water." Is that really so? Is there anyone who can't boil water?
We often forget to give boiling water enough time. We start pasta thinking it will be done in ten minutes and half an hour later we're still waiting for the water to boil!
Here are a few water boiling tips as we get back to basics this month at The Kitchn.
• Salt for flavor - not heat. McGee and Corriher give completely persuasive scientific demonstrations of how salting water does not make it boil faster. It does, however, make your boiled food taste better. If you follow Epicurious' instructions you'll add a tablespoon of salt for every 4 quarts of water.
• Use a heavy pot - it retains heat better.
• Cover the pot! Basic physics. This will help less heat evaporate and help your water boil faster.
• Start with a kettle. Sometimes it's easier to start with a kettle-full of (quickly!) boiled water from our electric kettle, poured into the pot.
Any more tips for boiling water quickly and well?

i remember watching one of those cooking contest shows *the one where that mean guy just yells at everyone for an hour* and someone filled a pot with cold water saying "it helps it to boil faster" - that was the funniest thing i'd ever heard. subsequently, i never ever watched that show again because listening to the poor idiot get yelled at for 20 minutes just doesn't float my boat!
I am almost ashamed to admit that when I was on one of my first breaks from college, and my parents were on vacation, I had to call my sister and ask her what temperature to boil water on so I could make some mac and cheese.
In my defense, I'm the youngest of 3 girls, with a bro-in-law who's a chef, and a mom who cooked constantly. There was always someone around to make me food back then.
After a moment like that, which I still get teased about, everyone is most impressed with how far I've come, and now my family asks me advice on cooking!
Well it depends, when I lived at sea level I just put the pot on high and let it boil, only covering is I was in a hurry.
Now I live at 5,000 feet, so even a teakettle takes 20 minutes to boil on the stove. When I make pasta I have to plan ahead. A full pot of water can take 30-45 minutes to boil when covered. We just moved here, so we are looking at buying an electric tea kettle. 20 minutes is too long to wait for coffee!
If I'm making a single serving of pasta, I do it in my biggest skillet rather than a pot. More surface area on the bottom means it heats up faster, or at least it feels that way.
I had a roommate burn a pan because she forgot she was boiling eggs and boiled off all of the water. *sigh*
and KDKaboom's "poor guy" was partially right in that cold water will absorb heat faster than hot water. Heat transfer is driven by temperature differential. But you still have to put more heat in than you would have if you'd started hot. Cold water also doesn't disolve as many potential undesireables into the water you're going to be eating.
Adding salt to the water will increase the boiling temperature, so it will take a little longer to boil. This effect is not really significant, though. It just makes your food taste better.
Adding salt decreases the boiling temperature.
Meaning, salt (sodium and chlorine ions) reduces the temperature at which water will go from the liquid to the vapor state.
As for pasta, does one really need "boiling" water, or hot water. Meaning does the pasta cook because (at sea level) the water is 212F or because its boiling?
If its temperature of the water that's important then one does not need for it to boil.
Combining ScienceandtheCity with SeanG, I was taught to always salt water before boiling it because while it may take a wee bit longer to come to a boil, it's much hotter once it's there and therefore cooks the food faster. But maybe this is just one of those culinary rumors...
I boil my water in the microwave. Pyrex measuring cup. 5 minutes or until you see it boiling. If you don't see it boiling, after 5 minutes, make sure to stick a spoon in it before you touch it.
PS - it takes less energy to use an electric kettle to boil water vs. a stove top kettle.
SeanG: No. Adding solutes will raise, not lower, the boiling temp. See explanation here:
If you want to boil water quickly and have a glass-top cooktop make sure that your pan or pot is flat on the bottom. If your pot isn't flat it takes much longer to boil because the heat isn't transferring through contact over the whole surface.
Also if you have the extra money induction cooktops boil water the fastest and are the most efficient.
I always have the opposite problem when I make pasta. I'll start boiling some water first, then begin on the sauce. Normally I time it all wrong and realize that my water is boiling but my sauce isn't going to be ready in eight minutes and have to turn the water down to a simmer.
We too use an electric kettle when time is limited... our gas stove is not-so-very-powerful.
Also, living in an early 1900s building we always start with cold water to avoid what Tiamat_the_Red referred to as "potential undesirables" above. Cold water comes straight from the city water treatment center to my spout... the hot water goes through my building's water heater... and thus many more pipes that might leach "undesirables" into it.
Cherise: at 5000 feet, won't an electric kettle take just as long to boil as a kettle on a gas or electric stove?
The electric kettle is always faster because the electric elements are immersed in the water, so you don't waste heat into the metal stovetop and into the surrounding air.
Once my pasta is boiling in the pot I turn the temp down about 20%. This stops the rice pasta from boiling over.
After you drain pasta in the sink, run the hot-water tap a bit to wash any starches so they don't gum up the drain.

Lush products review
Price: $32.95/ 7.9 oz
Now now, before you click exit off this blog entry because of the steep price, I assure you, the product is well worth it.
I am a huge fan of the Rose Jam bubbleroon, so I was wandering around my local Lush store trying to find something that has a similar scent. The very helpful sale associate pointed out that I might fall in love with the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. Right after I took a sniff at the product, I KNEW this would be the perfect thing for me. I was very hesitant at the price tag so I asked the nice lady for a sample of it. I remembered being super excited to try it out in the shower the next morning.
This Body Conditioner contains argan oil, almond oil. brazil nut oil. shea butter, cocoa butter and lemon oil. This product means major hydration for your skin. It also has a very lovely rosey, lightly lemony smell. It's heavenly to use in the shower daily.
I have a confession to make, I am not one of those girls that remember to moisturize my skin enough after a shower. I will only do so whenever my poor skin starts to dry up and crackle a bit because of the harsh weather. Since I bought a full size of this product, non-moisturized skin is no longer my problem. The idea of a body conditioner is that you'd apply this on as THE LAST thing you do in your shower. After you let your body soak in the moisture, rinse it out quickly with water and pat dry. This way, you'll get the benefit from hydrating your skin, yet none of that greasiness lotions tend to give. I find that if I turn away from the water stream or if I just turn off the water for a few minutes while I apply this on, the conditioner won't wash off immediately.
Rating: 10+/10. I can not rave about this product enough. I don't have a single bad thing to say about it, well, except for the price. If only I can get more product with that price….hmmm, I guess I just can't have it all. I'm about half way done with my container and I'm definitely planning on repurchasing this. I could not believe the difference it makes on my skin. I have no desire to put on any lotions afterward and my skin smells like Rose Jam for most of the day. Just lovely.

Long Road North
Seen from the handlebars of a bicycle, the world is a lot smaller than he ever thought. Leaving behind his office with no windows, a young Canadian dreams up an adventure to travel halfway across the planet at a human pace and experience the story of the road. From the mountains of Patagonia, through Latin American mega-cities and small-town America, to the sparse reaches of the Canadian arctic, the people and places he comes to know will forever change his perspectives about the world and the choices he decides to make.

IV been a hunter ever sense I played the game, and to tell u the truth... this build is crap.. it looks more like random talents put anywhere that sounds good, none the less no range power at all. How in the hell is IAotH CC.. I dont see it, and readiness is not even worth going down that tree so far.. Im a pvp hunter 0/30/31 and i can cc just as much and more than this build, yet alone i dont have to run around a freeze every thing ether
If i have a six mob pull I wont be the only one cc. Ill have mage sheep one, or rogue sap/ concussive shot one for the pull, send pet after concussive mob with mendpet buff on him, let the other 4 run to the freeze trap, caught one *now three left to take down*, FD so that they all run to the tank, back up to the freeze trap mob and keep chain traping him and mend pet two keep the two mods at hand, wile all this is going on, Im DPS the hell out of the other three that is on the tank. with my crit rating at 24% im takeing some big chucks out, and i have no need to run all over the place to try to control or freeze trap three at a time.. It just makes every one confused and dizzy..
if u want a good build for raiding or pvp try mine out for size. It gets u all the agi talents plus make your crit hella high, along side give u that extra range weapon dmg u need with some CC involved.
I dont have the best gear in the world but it works for me =) SAVVY

Casual Connect Europe 2011 a huge success
From February 8th to 10th, the casual gaming industry gathered in Hamburg to discuss the past, present and future of the business and its opportunities given by current technological innovations such as HTML5 and a future focus on tablet PCs for mobile gaming. With more than 1.500 participants, this years Casual Connect Europe was a success for the organizers, exhibitors and the visitors alike.All the companies of distinction in the casual gaming business were there, from Bigpoint to Spilgames, from YoudaGames and King.com to KaiserGames and many more. As one of the bigger topics this year was talking about new distribution channels and therefore new models of monetization, a recognizable part of the participants have been payment providers.
Unfortunately (and most likely due to the high entrance fee) there was a lack of independent developers, especially those from outside of Europe.
This years Casual Connect had an exceptional selection of speakers in many interesting lectures. Among those were experts and almost-celebrities such as Rovio (Angy Birds), Zynga (FarmVille) or ZeptoLab (Cut the Rope). But not only the casual games providers themselves, but huge companies from the media sector showed a lot of interest in our fast growing industry and held lectures this year. Microsoft, Elelctronic Arts, Disney, Amazon, Nokia and Google – big names which underline the importance the casual gaming sector has achieved in the digital entertainment industry.
Take a look at the picture gallery to get an impression of what the Casual Connect 2011 in Hamburg was like.

on Cornucopia of Reviews. No seriously, I find my self gazing at it. It probably
has something to do with my obsession with tufted chairs.
That cover is beautiful! I'm also obsessed with the cover for Torment by Lauren Kate--so dramatic!ReplyDelete
Great choice and definitely a book cover I will covet too!ReplyDelete
I love the cover, too (obviously haha). I'd personally love to have a chair like that in my library. Thanks for linking to me :)ReplyDelete
Haha, yes it is a beautiful cover!
I own a couple of Jen. Cruise books but haven't read them yet. I have heard so much about her, and so many people love her. I really just aught to pick one up and read it.
Gorgeous! There have been so many great ones lately but the most recent I saw was Maria V Snyder's Spyglass - the orange/red one not the girl with the hood.
Teens Read and Write
Wow, that certainly is one beautiful cover! Stunning!ReplyDelete
So nice! That chair is gorgeous. There's just something about that nice, deep red colour. Love it!ReplyDelete
The chair is beautiful. I'd loved to see your dream house. I could only imagine your type of furniture.ReplyDelete
Meredith: I LOVE those covers. They always make me want to wear big dresses and attend costume balls. :)

Pretty! I love red covers. I'm in love with the cover for Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasley at the moment. It will be my WoW choice later this week ;)
I read Jennifer Crusie's Agnes and the Hitman earlier this year. So funny! I'd be curious to see how one of her books minus the male co-author reads.
I think I would kill for that chair, so I understand your obsession.ReplyDelete
Oooh! Yes, that chair pictured IS rather nice...would look great in my living room...with me in it, reading a book of course! ^_^ReplyDelete
EEEEEE! Thanks Juju! Cute cover, but I wanted to thank you for putting this book on my radar!! Must. Read. ASAP!ReplyDelete
I can't think of any particular covers that have captivated me lately, but that one does look great. Very red! :)ReplyDelete
I agree with you - that cover is sizzling hot!ReplyDelete
yes, that cover is definitely hot, hot, hot! looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland, or like one of those chairs you can just get lost in while reading a most amazing book!ReplyDelete
I don't know if I could live long in a room that red.... but I'm glad it makes you happy!ReplyDelete
Ooh pretty! And I've really enjoyed the books of hers I've read:)ReplyDelete
I felt the same way about some of the dresses featured on the covers of The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen-like I could just slip right into one!! The chair is hot.ReplyDelete
This is a great cover. I am always drawn to covers with half naked men.ReplyDelete
Oh my! I didn't even read your post for a couple of minutes because I was too busy staring at that gorgeous cover! LOL It's so pretty!
As for recent cover love...I'd honestly have to say there isn't anything that really compares to this one, but I definitely agree with Meredith, those Lauren Kate covers are so beautiful!
The cover does look really amazing Juju. Love the color red. =)ReplyDelete
oh i agree the cover is coolReplyDelete
Gorgeous cover! Very rich! :)ReplyDelete
Ooh! I didn't know Crusie had a new book! I love her :)

Cheryl: O me too! *high five*
1stdaughter: Yah! Those Lauren Kate covers are gorgeous!
LadyTink: O me too! That hair! :)
I am loving that cover!ReplyDelete
Oh, it's pretty! I like it too!
"The Hand that First Held Mine" is one of my favorite covers, I read it a short while ago, and I still think of it as one of the prettiest covers I've seen.
Kay: That is a very pretty cover! :)ReplyDelete
do you get the extra edition on wednesdays of shelf awareness that previewed her book today? also had a place to sign up to receive a copy of the ARC if you're not already on the list...AND had a fantastic interview with Crusie explaining her long venture away from writing alone.ReplyDelete
Stacy: Danielle (1stdaughter) was kind enough to send me a copy. I didn't see the ARC sign up? *gasp*
*racing there now*
Makes me wanna read it too :)ReplyDelete
the ARC is for US only... I'm not in the US :(ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! I will have to look it up to see if this is a book about second chances or what?ReplyDelete

DIY Pink Fort with a Henry the 8th Vibe. No tutorial, but lots of closeup photos.

Got to love the description of this little girl's fort:
If you look past the pretty pink decor you´ll find different gadgets and instruments that looks like something out of Henry The 8th torture chamber.

Work and citizenship: crises and alternatives
AbstractOne purpose of this article is to refute some commonly held ideas which consider that ongoing changes in work and employment are inevitable and they have positive consequences at the social and individual level. It is subjacent on approach considering that there is no single striking trend while there are alternatives deserving discussion. The paper starts with analysis on the crises in the Fordist-Keynesian employment regime, the basis of our modern social citizenship. There is no consensus concerning the changes currently taking place in work/employment, are discussed different approaches: the neo-liberal perspective, the techno-optimistic perspective on the information/knowledge society, the management rhetoric on the flexible market principle-driven network organisation, critical perspectives and theories about "the end of work". Finally, the article provides a reflection on the future of work and citizenship. This characterises four scenarios: the market regulated work centred society, the market society, the renewed work centred society and the society centred on alternative activities. The renewed work centred society is given preference, where citizenship is based on work as a meaningful activity capable of providing autonomy, satisfaction and social integration, where people work less and live more, where individuals have greater control over their time and can better conciliate work with other activities.
