It may not do 100% of the damage on its own, but that dot wil still generally kill you. If you've taken damage from fire or a meteor slash or if you will take damage from either of those in the near future, your healers would have to heal you quite frantically to keep you alive.

May 11, 2007Albany -- Frantic calls came from people around the Albany Mall, many of them shoppers on their lunch breaks. Some people told us they were headed to the mall when they heard about the shooting and didn't go.
But with Mother's Day coming up, people are out shopping and things will likely be back to normal at the Albany Mall.
Ella Grier says she had a hard time coming back to work at the Albany Mall today. "Yes, because you don't expect something like that to happen here," said Grier.
As she drove back from her lunch break yesterday, she saw the body of Terence Melvin Bowen being covered by paramedics. "Just the idea, that something can actually happen here. It was really up close and personal."
Nevertheless, the mall was packed with shoppers today, including Ashley Preston. "I was just nervous and shook up about it, actually I was nervous to come out here today," said Preston.
But Robin Raiford, VP of Management and Marketing for the parent company of the Albany Mall, says while yesterday's shooting was tragic, this facility is safe.
"We have a 30 year history of providing a safe shopping community for our customers. We work with Albany police to provide a comfortable environment," said Raiford.
And she says the mall has a security program, so if customers see something suspicious, they should alert a security guard. "There are unpredictable events that happen," said Raiford, "And we like all those in the city of Albany, we hope those events don't happen."
Ashley Preston says she does feel a little more secure, knowing that the shooter isn't on the lose. "Now he's behind bars and it makes it a safer place."
A place she'll keep coming back to. "I love the Albany Mall."
A mall with a good history, hoping for a safe and secure future. The Albany Mall opened in 1976 and this is the first time there's been a murder on mall property.

WINNIPEG -- As the Winnipeg Jets slowly sink below the line separating the NHL's playoff-bound teams from the rest, coach Claude Noel has to hope solid teamwork will get his club's offence on track.
He won't directly say the Jets just don't have the depth of talent needed -- particularly when some of their best players have been injured. But he doesn't argue the point.
"I'll let you decide whether we have enough, I wouldn't want to answer that question," he said Monday.
"If you don't have enough you become reliant on the group. That's how you have to play. ... I want to be reliant on the group because I think that's what we need."
There were no signings that dramatically changed the makeup of the team that failed to make the playoffs in Atlanta last season, before relocating to Winnipeg.
This season, about the biggest move so far was claiming Finnish forward Antti Miettinen off waivers in December.
Noel still hopes the right-winger can be a reliable third-line player, adding perhaps 15 goals a season. So far, Miettinen has three assists and no goals in 21 games with the Jets.
Miettinen had 16 goals and 19 assists with the Minnesota Wild last season.
General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff also hasn't made any trades that might shake things up before the deadline. So it's perhaps not surprising the Jets are playing pretty much the same as the Thrashers.
A season-by-season comparison doesn't reveal much difference and certainly no improvement.
Entering play Monday night, the Jets (24-24-6) were 10th in the Eastern Conference, six points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, who hold the eighth and final playoff spot. The Leafs will visit Winnipeg on Tuesday night.
After 54 games last season, the then-Thrashers had 57 points, three more than Winnipeg has after the same number of games this season.
Noel, who has been doing his best to forge a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, still sounds like an optimist.
"I coach what we have," he said. "You can find ways to get it done."
The Jets, who were shut out in Montreal over the weekend, are near the bottom of the league with just 129 goals scored this season.
It hasn't helped that two of the team's stronger offensive players -- forward Evander Kane and defenceman Dustin Byfuglien -- have battled injuries.
"For me it's a great opportunity for players to jump into holes," offered Noel, once again looking on the bright side.
Byfuglien is back after being sidelined with a knee injury. He has just one assist in three games since returning to the lineup last Thursday.
Another hole may disappear this week when Kane returns from the injured list, which might happen as early as Tuesday or Thursday, Noel said.
With 18 goals, Kane is the team's top scorer this season. But that's still only good enough for No. 45 on the NHL's overall scoring list.
Noel said the coaching staff will be focusing on kickstarting the team's offence as they look to get back on a winning track.
"We have to do a better job in a lot of areas ... my bigger concern isn't so much the goals against, it's our way of playing and our way of doing things," Noel said.
"It's about winning and we know we have to do that with more regularity," he added.

Great Speculations: A Google and Groupon Marriage
Ishfaque is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There are a number of speculations in the market that Internet behemoth, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) wants a piece of Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) again. As a result, shares of Groupon shot up more than 20% on Friday afternoon, after reports from Bloomberg. In a recent conference, Groupon CEO didn't comment on takeover rumors from Google. While rumors are mere rumors, Google's interest towards Groupon is nothing new, it tried to acquire Groupon for $6 billion dollars in 2010. It might make strategic sense for both parties to reconsider a financial marriage.
Google's Thirst for All Things Local
Google has it eyes firmly set on local. It courted online consumer reviews site, Yelp (NYSE: YELP) for a reported $500 million and also Groupon for a buyout. However, in both instances it got shut down. After its failed conquest of Yelp and Groupon. Google set out to build its Google+ Local platform which is an integration of Google+, Zagat Survey, Frommer's and Google Maps. In addition, Google also has Google Offers which bought Germany-based, DailyDeals. Google's Management has said in the Q3 earnings call, that they want to gain a bigger piece of the Commerce and Local Business. Buying out Groupon will give a strong foothold on the Local Ads, Deals, as well as a large number of Merchant Relationships with small businesses which are extremely hard to build.
What's in It for Them?
Google's cash position is a strategic asset that Google uses to pounce and Google will likely be interested in a deal that is priced much lower than the previously offered $6 billion. Why? Because Groupon comes with substantially more signed up users, more deals, more merchants and an exciting new business line, i.e. Groupon Goods and it is in the process of building a robust Local eCommerce Marketplace.
Groupon Management team has been humbled after entering the public markets, they will get to save face and create some shareholder value which has taken a huge hit after the IPO. It has managed to grow its top line in a remarkable manner, grow active customer accounts to 39.5 million, generate free cash flow of roughly $145 million in the first nine months of 2012, but it has failed to grow its bottom line profitability.
Groupon's expertise of local markets and relationships with local merchants can be further leveraged with Google's technological know-how and other resources to take it to the next level. Groupon's presence in 48 countries will immediately give Google access to a number of untapped markets for cross-selling a number of Google products and services.
Integration with Google Shopping, Local+ and Offers
Google Shopping has transitioned to a paid model and is now providing product information with pictures, pricing and even local inventory information for more than 1 billion products from thousands of merchants. The model generates revenue based on product listing ads.
A Google and Groupon combo would be able to build out Google+ Local, Google Shopping and Google Offers with Groupon's sites in Google Search. It would generate substantial amounts of incremental revenue in the form of more Product Listing Ads as well as portraying more Groupon Deals, while building out Groupon's Local eCommerce Marketplace.
Google's Acquisition Prowess
Google has a phenomenal track record of buying up high potential companies with disruptive technologies and masterfully integrating those businesses with its gigantic operations. Google's inorganic growth strategy has had a number of home runs in the form of AdMob, YouTube, DoubleClick to name a few.
However, possible road blocks for a deal of this size to come to fruition are the FTC's ongoing investigations of Google's practices in its search results and also Google's gigantic size and scale. If such a deal was to be considered by Groupon management, who already turned down a deal from Google, it is very likely Groupon would ask for a sizable break-up fee, which might cause negotiations to fall out.
Making Sense of It All
Other players in the local space, such as Yelp and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) backed, Living Social all losing money, Groupon might be tempted to use Google's giant scale of operations and rejuvenate its operations and enhance monetization. In fact, Amazon took a big write down of $169 million on its equity method investment in Living Social which pretty much shows the state of that business.
Google will get its Local ambitions fast forwarded substantially by getting its hands on Groupon. It would be able to build out Google+ Local, Google Shopping and Google Offers with Groupon's sites in Google Search. Also, integrating Groupon's Goods business which has a gross billings run rate of ~$1.5 billion, with Google Shopping allowing Google to lock horns with eCommerce Giant, Amazon. Amazon has been sending traditional brick and mortar retail operators one after another to the death row. The benefits accrued to both Groupon and Google from a deal are pretty evident.

The Twilight Sad
Reclusiveness setting in after just two gigs, Glasgow's The Twilight Sad stayed in the dark until 2005, writing and recording extended pieces of music using any variety of instruments and anything else that would make a sound. An intense, intricate and overpowering sound has since made its way south into England with their signing to Fat Cat records. The Twilight Sad comprises James Graham (vocals), Andy MacFarlane, (guitar/accordion/noise) and Mark Devine (drums). Live, they introduce Johnny Doc and Martin Doherty to the line-up.

"Wielding a varied array of instruments, their songs blossom with a life seldom seen outside a full orchestra. A joyous cacophony of noise, and an atmosphere of abandon." -Music News.

Lana and Rob before the show!
It's important to have a good relationship with yourself when you become well known. People will say a lot of things, and you'll start to wonder if they're true. But then you have to go back to all of those little truths and kernels you found along the way that remind you: You are where you're supposed to be.

Aiya Van Kooten everyone
When Aiya Van Kooten stood face-to-face with a burglar in her bedroom, her left eye twitched, then she went into "predator mode".
"I screamed at him… jumped off my chair, leaped over my bed and sprinted after him down the stairs," she said.
This is the best story of my life
"Although she was the only one home, Van Kooten said she had no regard for her safety - instead, she said she was just overwhelmed with "rage"….. ummmmm Hero!!!
Haha, badass Muslim woman. Love it!!!
This lady is so awesome. She lives with her grandma and was studying and had a towel on her head and no shoes but she chased them out of her garden, kicked one up the arse as he climbed a fence, they dropped a camera and laptop, she flagged down a passing driver to help her continue the pursuit, and it turned out he was ex-military, and they finally caught one of them in a park and pinned him as the police arrived. Now she's going to visit the burglar in prison for the next few months to help with his rehabilitation.
So in summary:
This lady doesn't just defend her home and loved ones, she will hunt you down, team up with other skilled individuals, get you put away, and then teach you the consequences of your actions until you're a valuable member of society once more.
Seriously she's a frigging superhero.
but tell me again about how muslim women who cover can't possibly be strong or empowered.
I can't remember if I've reblogged this before and I don't really care.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WHAS11) – A federal grand jury met Tuesday as part of a criminal investigation stemming from the Duke Energy coal ash spill.
70 miles of the Dan River were coated with toxic sludge.
Prosecutors have issued at least 23 grand jury subpoenas to Duke Energy executives, North Carolina's Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the State Utilities Commission.
Environmental groups are putting more pressure on regulators to force Duke Energy to clean up the ash pits polluting the waterways.
The spill into the Dan River happened in February.
Duke Energy also has customers in other states including Indiana and Kentucky.

7 Kids Guaranteed to Become Trekkies
Star Trek, the next generation? The odds are good.
The Star Trek phenomenon, as Captain Kirk might say, "Just. Won't. Stop." Each generation produces a whole new fan base. Where do hard-core Star Trek enthusiasts come from? Are they just born or are they a reflection of their Spock ear-wearing, Klingon-speaking parents?
7 Kids Guaranteed to Become Trekkies
Rude awakening for this kid when he finds out not all children speak fictitious Star Trek languages.
Never, ever, ever leave a baby alone with a Trekkie. This kid's doomed.
This little girl thinks all it takes to explore the final frontier is an empty cake box.
Baby ... or Starship Enterprise? Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.
Beam Me Up, Teddy -- Winnie the Pooh and a cute British girl team up, Star Trek-style.

I'm unable to get graphics to load up your webblog, it merely looks broken or like they are not there?
I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They're really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
Jesus Christ there is plenty of spammy comments on this website. Have you actually thought about attempting to remove them or putting in a wordpress plugin?
Considerably, this post is really the sweetest on this notable topic. I harmonise with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your incoming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the phenomenal clarity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. Admirable work and much success in your business dealings! Please excuse my poor English as it is not my first tongue.
Do you've got a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was questioning your situation; we have developed some nice strategies and we are looking to exchange solutions with other people, be certain to blast me an e-mail if planning to pursue.
Finally something worth reading on the internet. Quality articles are harder and harder to find these days.
What youre saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I also love the images you put in here. They fit so well with what youre trying to say. Im sure youll reach so many people with what youve got to say.
As a Newbie, I am constantly searching online for articles that can be of assistance to me. Thank you
very nice submit, i definitely love this website, keep on it
Hi, I had been wondering the length of time you have had the website running for? I run a niche site but struggle keeping determined to keep it going after awhile!
My partner and I absolutely love your site and discover almost all of ones posts to be just what We are seeking. Do you provide guest people to publish information for you personally. We would like to try creating a article or highlight within many of the topics you write with regards to here. Once more, awesome web site! In addition have you read Obama wonderful news flash…
You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation however I find this matter to be actually one thing which I feel I'd never understand. It seems too complex and very huge for me. I'm taking a look ahead on your next put up, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
I feel that is an interesting aspect, it made me suppose a bit. Thank you for sparking my thinking cap. Now and again I get such a lot in a rut that I simply really feel like a record.
Bizarre this submit is totaly unrelated to what I was looking google for, however it was indexed at the first page. I suppose your doing one thing proper if Google likes you enough to place you on the first page of a non comparable search.
Everyone should take the time to submit articles pretty much as good as this one and not saturate the internet with nothing!!. and even, Thanks a lot for your informative website content this detailed data quite usefull!.! and then, I will share this with all of my friends!!!. plus, Continue the excellent work!
Thanks for your great article! It is extremely helpful. I hope that you'll proceed sharing your knowledge with us.
I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.
It is best to participate in a contest for top-of-the-line blogs on the web. I'll recommend this web site!
Aw, this was a really nice post. In concept I wish to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and precise effort to make an excellent article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and not at all seem to get something done.
Great artical, I unfortunately had some problems printing this artcle out, The print formating looks a little screwed over, something you might want to look into.

How does Luis Castillo grab ya?
OR Pat Burrell? Or Kevin Millwood?
For a few hours last night, Cub fans may have felt our long national nightmare was soon to end, based on hot rumors of a three-way trade with the Mets and Jays that would plop Don't Wake Daddy in Canada, and return us Luis Castillo. But last night, Toronto (wisely?) quashed this rumour as they spell it there. They don't want any part of the Milton Bradley Experience, even if it means they get to crawl out from the bottom of The Lyle Overpay Contract.
They'd take MB for Vernon Wells, possessor of "the Worst Contract Ever" according to one MLB GM. Probably his own. But otherwise, no thank you. Canadians are nothing if not polite.
OK, so while Hendry continues bouncing around O'Hare Hilton with a fake smile glued onto his mug, let's just suppose we simplify this equation a bit...take the Jays out, and make it an even swap for Castillo. I believe that he and Miguel Cabrera are the only remaining 2003 Marlins who Hendry has not acquired, after Juan Pierre, DLee, Todd Hollandsworth, Chad Fox, Ryan Dempster...
Seriously, though? Castillo has a two-year deal for a few less bucks than Bradley. I certainly remember Luis as a monumental pain in our ass in 2003 - 2005 with the Fish. He hit second behind Lucky Pierre, and it seemed they were always on base, driving our pitchers nuts with infield choppers and steals. Since then, he has ended up in Queens, and last year with Aaron Heilmann here, Castillo was the designated scapegoat and fan (least) favorite. Ask any Met fan and they will tell you that Castillo is lower than whale shit.
As with Heilmann, there is a grain of truth to the accusation, but neither one are as bad as Mets fans make them out to be. Plus, he does have a career .370 OBP, he hit over .300 last year with a .385 OBP. He was a Gold-glove 2B as recently as 2005, and he isn't a bad guy on a personal level. Finally, and most importantly, he is not Milton Bradley.
But, keep all this in mind: he is no more of a leadoff hitter than Ryan Theriot. He has no power whatsoever, ok. In fact, his offensive numbers are similar, certainly not better, than The Riot's. He is nowhere near the hitter Fukudome is. Also, he is not ideal for us since we have at least two decent second basemen already on our roster - The Riot and Baker. You can't pair him, at least offensively, with the only decent shortstop we have, Andres Blanco. Although, if we did that, our up-the-middle defense would be greatly improved.
He is not the little slice of hell on the basepaths he was with Florida. I believe that if we were to bring in Luis Castillo, it would not improve our team, outside of the fact that we would no longer have Bradley - and as crappy as he was last year, he contributed as much if not more offensively than Fukudome or Soriano amongst our outfielders. What I am saying here is a Castillo-for-Bradley swap would leave us with an even larger offensive shortfall.
Even if getting Castillo for Bradley seems to be a pleasant enough notion, fact is, on a purely baseball basis, Luis Castillo is just about the LAST thing we need.
The next-to-last thing we need is a left-fielder, and Tampa Bay is also talking to us about MB in an attempt to dump Pat (the Bat) Burrell on us. As I have said before, Pat the Bunny would be just as useful to us at this point. Our left fielder of the recent past, present, and future is in house, possessor of the Second Worst Contract in History. Once again, he's a more well adjusted human being than Bradley, but at least Bradley plays right field.
Texas would like to pawn Kevin Millwood and his $10 MM committment for 2010 on us, and would also like us to eat most if not all of Bradley's 2011 salary as well. Man, what does this mean? Millwood is essentially the Marquis Du Suck without the decent bat. Plus, Marquis' salary he signed with us has expired. So what we've done, essentially, if we make THIS trade, is give Jason Marquis a one year, $10 million extension to be our fifth starter in 2010, PLUS we had to deal with the Muppet Show for a year, plus we will be giving Texas around 6 million dollars American in 2011 for nothing.
We shoulda just kept Marquis' dumb ass around and ran Hoffpauir out there in RF in 2009 to commit his 20 errors and hit .240. We'd be better off.
I have one more wacky thought, but I want to simmer it a little before I lay it on all of you. Later...

Testimonials about Video Production
University of London Paris
Back in October 2010 when I embarked upon my 5 month Film/TV Internship in the heart of Paris, little did I know what lay in store for me; the people I'd meet, the experiences I'd have, the cultural and linguistic integration I'd encounter. Now 5 months on, I can safely say this entire experience has been incredibly mesmerizing and unforgettable; one that I will treasure forever. I have had the opportunity to not only work in film production, behind and in front of the camera, but also in journalism (a sub-divide of the company), translating and writing articles for presentation to France's mainstream television channels. Everyone has been so welcoming and always at hand when I have needed something. I have walked away from this experience having made lovely friends and great contacts, offering to provide me with any help I may need in the future. Not to mention, I really loved meeting the other Global Experiences interns, who have been so great to me during my time in France. Thank you guys! Thank you Global Experiences for making it all possible.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Engineers hope to begin the process of killing the Gulf gusher for good as soon as Monday by giving the experimental cap a little help blocking the oil flow.
Engineers are preparing to launch a so-called static kill, shoving mud and perhaps cement into the blown-out well to make it easier to permanently finish the job.
BP engineers still plan to follow it up days later by sending a stream of mud and cement into the bottom of the mile-deep underground reservoir through a relief well they've been digging for months.
On Sunday, BP and the government's oil spill point man took issue with congressional investigators who say the use of dispersants in the Gulf ignored EPA limits.
BP says it's worked closely with the officials on the matter.
And retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen says the guidelines were not ignored.

A man visits the doctor because of his severe stuttering problem.
The doctor says, "It appears that your penis is four inches too long and is pulling on your vocal cords, thereby causing the stutter."
"D-d-d-oct-t-tor. Wh-ha-a-at c-c-can I d-d-do?"
The doctor tells him that he must remove the extra four inches to relieve the strain.
Six months after the operation, the patient returns for his check-up. "Doctor, the operation was a success. I no longer stutter, I have a great job and my self-esteem is fantastic. However, my wife says that she misses the great sex we used to have. I was wondering if it is possible to reattach those four inches."
The doctor hesitates for a minute and then says, "I d-d-d-on't th-th-think-k-k-k that wo-wo-wo-ould b-be p-p-pos-s-s-ib-b-ble."

"Are you okay? What the hell happened? Do you know my brother?" Mikey continuous questions were giving me a headache. He wasn't even giving me a chance to answer any of them.
I sighed and placed my hand over his mouth to stop him from talking and I replied, "Mikey I'm fine. Gerard just has a disliking towards me, and isn't afraid to show it. I know him because he is my Art teacher at Belleville High."
For some reason both of their jaws dropped. What have I done now? Had Gerard mentioned me? Do they now hate me?
"You're... you're Samantha Phillips?" I nodded with confusion written all over my face. I stared at Frank for answers, "Jeez. You started school Wednesday right?" I nodded again, but with impatience. To my surprise, he started laughing, as did Mikey, "I thought Gerard was talking about a new teacher or something. But it's you he hates. He's always complaining about you."
I felt heat rush to my cheeks. The jerk had been talking about me to his friends. What had he said exactly? Did he give them a reason as to why he was like that towards me? "What has he been saying?" I asked. Oddly, tears were forming in my eyes. I hated it when people talked about me behind my back. And the fact that one of my teachers was doing it, made me feel worse.
Mikey saw the sadness in my eyes and quickly replied with, "It's nothing really bad or anything. He's just been coming home really angry, saying something like 'stupid bitch.' Or 'fucking whore annoys the crap out of me.'"
Whore? That's what he thought of me? I haven't given him any reason to think of me like that. Sure, I would wear the occasional short skirt or dress, but that's only because I was comfortable with how I looked. There was nothing wrong with that. I wasn't trying to get any body's attention, I was just being me.
"He's mentioned your name a couple of times too, but we had no idea he was angry about a student. We don't know how he is at school, as a teacher, so it was pretty weird to hear that from him."
It was silent after that, except from the sound of the wind rustling in the trees. After some thinking, I told them I was going to go home, but with much persuading, I stayed with them. With Frank's arm around my shoulders and Mikey at my other side, we went back in the house. I was nervous, because I didn't want the same thing to happen again. My ass was in enough pain. No more needed to be added.
Gerard wasn't in the living room. He wasn't anywhere downstairs. I noticed though that the broken coffee mug had been cleared away, and the coffee that was spilt was now gone.
"Do you want something to drink?" I nodded and told him that I would have a coffee. I thanked Frank and he went to the kitchen.
Slowly, I was starting to feel a little more at ease in the huge house, and sat at the table that was in the dining room, but was connected to the living room. Mikey soon sat down next to me.
Frank came back in with two mugs in one hand, and one in the other. He set one down in front of me, and another in front of Mikey. The other was for himself. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes, sometimes sipping some coffee.
Then I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Gerard hadn't gone, he was upstairs the whole time. I watched him as he came into the living room. His gaze found mine almost instantly, and he glared much harder than normal. I knew that I really needed to find out what his problem was, but I was slowly feeling more scared the longer he glared at me.
"Gerard, just leave her alone." Frank told him. Surprisingly, he listened to him, and proceeded towards the opposite end of the table, placing his sketch book in front of him, a new pencil in hand. His glare finally dropping as his pencil came into contact with the plain paper.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, there was no denying that. For a while we watched Gerard, well Mikey and Frank did. I tried my best to keep my eyes away from him. If he caught me staring, it may just set him off again. But I think the reason why his brother and friend was staring at was to make sure he didn't flip again. The three of us doing opposite things for the same reason.
I heard Mikey sigh, and removed his eyes from his - I'm guessing older - brother, and focused on me instead, "So, Sam... What kind of music do you like?"
I half-smiled at his attempt to make things seem less tense, though it wasn't really working, "Mostly rock music. I like most genre's, but prefer rock - any rock really." I replied.
This made Frank ask his next question, "Who's your favorite band?"
I tilted my head slightly as I thought. The list of bands I liked was endless. There was no way I could pick just one that stood out from the rest, "I'm not sure. I don't really have a favorite... but if I had to choose, it would probably be Mindless Self Indulgence." I told him with a nod.
Mikey started laughing a little and my attention was back on him, "That is so weird. Gerard says he loves Mindless Self Indulgence... though he doesn't actually listen to them. We think it may have something to do with a crush on a certain Ms. Ballato." Gerard glared at his brother, but didn't deny it.
I don't why I said it, but I did, "Yeah so? Lindsay's hot." The laughter stopped and all three guys looked at me. Mikey and Frank stared at me very weirdly, and Gerard, though glaring, had a hint of curiosity in his eyes. I decided then to clear things up, "Oh, I'm not a lesbian. I'm not even bi." They still looked at me with the same look, but went along with it anyway.
After a few for minutes, and Gerard had returned to his art, Frank decided to make some more coffee. I hadn't even drank much of mine, but it wasn't cold.
While he did that, me and Mikey talked some more, "So how are you finding school?" Wow, the first person to actually ask me that question. I don't think even Harry asked me. I can't remember really.
I sighed, knowing that Gerard must be listening, "It's fine. I thought it was going to be a lot different to how it is. But it's fine."
"Shouldn't you have expected things though? All schools are pretty much the same."
I sighed again, "I've never been to school before." Mikey looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I also noticed that Gerard had stopped drawing. If he wasn't listening before, he was now, "All my life I've been taught at home. I don't know why, it was just something my mom wanted. I knew it cost her more to keep me at home, but she didn't change her mind. So the only people I knew were family, and my tutor, who is like my brother. Money got a little tight, though that seems impossible because my parents have the same job they've always had, so money shouldn't have been an issue. I think my mom just wanted me out the house, so she sent me to school. I was real excited at first, but I got lost. The school is huge. I found out that day that a few teachers hated me for being late to class," Gerard gripped onto his pencil.
"They knew it was my first day, but they think that because I have a map, I should get to class on time. But I'll get used to it. One day I'll make it to all my classes on time." I laughed a little at the end.
Mikey smiled too. I didn't pay any attention to Gerard. He knew I was talking about him. I didn't know if Mikey realized this. The poor guy probably looks up to Gerard. He probably thinks that Gerard is some cool guy who has a well paid job, and he loves it. Oh, how wrong he was.
I sighed, "So... you two are brothers?"
Mikey nodded, "Yeah we are."
What slipped out my mouth next was a complete accident, "I'm so sorry." I clapped a hand over my mouth.
Mikey laughed, though Gerard stayed still. For some reason, I felt bad for saying that. I didn't want to upset him or anything.
"Yeah well..." Mikey chuckled again, "No, Gerard's a great brother. He's been so good, and everything. He pretty much took on the role of both parents at the age of fifteen. I was only twelve." So Gerard was the older sibling, I thought as much.
"What do you mean he took on the role of both parents?" I asked, curiosity evident in my voice.
He smiled, "Of course, you were only small at the time, you probably didn't even read or watch the news... Our parents died nine years ago."
As he said this, it hit me. Mikey Way and Gerard Way. I had heard them names before. I knew they sounded familiar. It was all over the news, and my parents would talk about it a lot. Excitement ran through me at that point as I remembered, "Of course! You're the Way siblings! Your names sounded so familiar, I just couldn't place them. Donna and Donald Way were your parents! They died in that car accident?" Mikey nodded, "It was bugging me so much. Now I remember, I watched the news." I laughed, but then... oh shit, "And... I'm really sorry for your loss."
Luckily, Mikey smiled, "Don't worry about it, it's fine. It was nine years ago." I smiled back.
Finally, Frank came back in with another coffee, "What did I miss?" After he finished his question, his tripped on something, which was clearly on the floor. Frank stumbled slightly, but couldn't keep his mug up right, and it spilt onto the table, and the floor, getting part of Gerard's arm, and his sketch book, "Whoa dude, I am so sorry, I tripped and..." His voice trailed off.
What happened next happened so quickly. Gerard completely lost control. He stood up quickly, his chair falling backwards and landing with a loud bang.
Mikey grabbed hold of me as Gerard pinned Frank to the wall and started hitting his face a few times. He pulled back his arm before throwing his fist into Frank's stomach. He groaned in pain as blood poured on his nose.
"Gerard stop it!" Mikey yelled, holding onto me, protecting me from his insane brother.
With a few more punches, Gerard let go of Frank. The poor guy sunk to the floor, holding his head.
Gerard was about to walk away, but turned back to kick Frank in the ribs. The his angered eyes fixed on me and he stomped over until he was inches from me. He grabbed hold of my face, making me look at him, "If you tell anyone about this, I'll break your fucking neck." He threatened.
He let go of me and grabbed his jacket, and removing himself from the house.

Look---the fact is that a number of us, myself certainly included, love the spirit of competitive tennis. I freely admit that. I play leagues because, yes, I would love, one time in my life, to hit a magical roll with some team and get to nationals. I'm not willing to sell my soul to do it, and it isn't the greatest goal in my life. It isn't something I obsess over and I won't cheat to do it. But yes, I would like to win a district title, win a sectional title, go to or even win nationals. Will that ever happen to me? No, I very seriously doubt it. I play in an area where the opportunities to put together a Frankenteam that could actually compete at nationals simply don't exist. Even if I wanted to engage in a 5-year master plan to round up lots of players far better than their rating for such a purpose (and I don't), such players don't exist here and never would in the necessary numbers. It could never happen.
But I love competition, and the playoffs provide something to compete for. I compete to win my matches. I compete to win enough matches to help my team advance to district. I compete at district in an effort to help my team win enough matches to advance to sectionals. I love that challenge.
Frankly, if the USTA stopped having any sort of playoff system, and local leagues were the end of the line with no place to advance to, I would almost certainly stop playing league tennis altogether. Because I can arrange good matches on my own without all the headaches of line-ups and registration and rosters and arranging courts, etc. that leagues bring.
I play league tennis precisely BECAUSE it offers the chance to advance to a playoff. I know a lot of league players who do. I know players who have NEVER won a local league, but they keep playing not because they love the league, but because it gives them a goal to chase, a way to challenge themselves. That's a good thing, isn't it?
We might be able to stop doping in professional sports if we simply did away with prize money, TV deals, and big dollar contracts---no Super Bowl, no World Series, no Tour de France, no NBA championship. But who would want to watch or attend? You can't fix the problem of cheating simply by not having playoffs. Players who are going to cheat will continue to cheat in individual matches if it means that much to them. I've played a handful over the years who do.
People love league play and the chance at a playoff run. They also would prefer, most of them at least, that the playing field be very level and fair to all comers. The USTA and those of us who love fair, honest competition are still trying to come up with better ways to insure we can have both. It's a work in progress, admittedly. But it's worth it to me.

Even when advancing deep into playoffs is a hollow achievement because (1) it pretty much means you're playing at too low a level, and (2) level distinctions are arbitrary anyway, so best case scenario it just means you are right below some imaginary skill-level line rather than just above it?
Well I guess you and others who have the same opinion as you are in the majority, since we do in fact have playoffs. So USTA obviously agrees with you that it attracts players.
Frankly I enjoy making it to playoffs and beyond as well, but mainly because it means I get to play more matches! But I would certainly still play the regular season even if there were no playoffs at all.

Why all these tips? Today, Friday, 13, is national day of Forró and, in tribute to him, our script is coming full of options to dance for two.
Weekend roadmap: warming up for summer
Great shows and parties appearing in the lineup this weekend. Less than a month of summer, the schedule is as warm as the temperatures. Tourists don't stop coming and the weather is gaining the most expensive every weekend on vacation. Is the heating to the next station and is good to perfect in gymnastics because the schedule is intense.

Weekend roadmap: time to party
See the full agenda
Breakz: the grace of the party for free
Arrival to Rio de Janeiro by Rebeca Dues + a ' help people of Wobble and the Brazilian Wax, the Breakz is a traveling party of bass music that if divided basically between the kiosks of rudder Beach and Aterro do Flamengo, with the objective "to promote sound interventions and free fun." Always organized collaboratively, pump the sand tracks cariocas mainly in summer-rolls of the crowd warning with pouquinha before publication date and place several times in the month and here we are again, eager for good music and nice people in a legal environment.
I've been in some editions of the party since I got to the River, but I went to the last two Sundays, with the curious cat look sharp! I arrived around 7 p.m. (the sound usually start at 5:0 pm and finish at 10:0 pm) in the already crowded kiosk at the helm, both on the sidewalk and in sand. Three different vibes shared classes: on the sidewalk, people standing watching the movement, drank and talked. There in the Middle, at improvised, business was HOT of heat and we just dance (closed eyes and bare feet in the package). At the bottom of the kiosk, in the sand, wheels of friends in a quieter schema.
The weather hit near the DJ booth-entitled to a lot of people lavishing dance moves to get envy – cheered me up real quick. I went looking for a drink and I can't stop talking about the Drinkolé! Experience aside, is half a piece (which in Bahia called cold) alcoholic who comes in flavors, apple mojito martini or cosmopolitan. Unusual, to say the least! But well done, and it takes effect!
Fitted my Drinkolé of apple martini, gave another twist, this time paying attention to the public. Basically young, mixed crowd there very cool with the Center's staff, after toasting the whole day in the Sun went straight to the Breakz. In the sand, people of slipper and tennis and a half people. Incidentally, for those who – like me – can't resist a streetstyle, Breakz is one of the essential places to go with the intention only of noting the style of others. The people are pretty effortless cool and inspiring.
And there we were, regulars or newcomers, passers-by, residents of the neighborhood, enjoying a sound with views of the sea and Copacabana, absolute, craning where reaching the sight. And, damn it, for FREE! In a way that favors the population of the city and the organizers themselves, which take advantage of the public which is renewed to disclose other parties closed and DJs of the scene of Rio de Janeiro. The Wobble, for example, met only after having gone to first Breakz-IE, it works!
So there I was, in the company of friends, a little dancing, half trading idea and 100% aware of how these initiatives need to be encouraged and valued in every city, because taking to the streets is political and has nothing to do with take back what is ours! Including to celebrate. And then left?

Weekend roadmap: Let's be tourists?
Sunday bikes
Cycling in Rio de Janeiro is a delicious, healthy and risky experience. Except some residents on the South side and the West side, most cariocas are lacking in bike lanes.
However Sunday with less car on the street and some roads are locked down for leisure, the Mission of crossing the city on the pedal becomes less suicidal. It is also the only day of the week that the Metrô Rio allows the entry of bicycles.
Thus was born the mission Tijuca-Leblon, round trip, on skinny.
Ida (the street)
Dividing space with cars and buses that part of the route was subsequently labelled "Rambo". Hype aside, it's not impossible, but it takes a lot of attention at intersections and in the holes of asphalt. The trick is trying to follow, wherever possible, in the same direction of the cars.
An alternative for those who get out da Tijuca is crossing the viaduct Paulo de Frontin, get inside the Estácio (Rua Estácio Sá lifetime, Rua Frei mug, always in the stream of cars), Lapa, Glória and Aterro. The more complicated passages are in the tunnel Martins de Sá (it's good to have signage on bike) and Rua Riachuelo, in Lapa, on account of the great movement. Another tip is to get just the catwalk of the glory to come up in the Landfill and not of MAM, which can be deserted depending on the time. For those who want adrenaline is great.
Arriving at the Landfill is to relax and enjoy the view. Space for riding not lacking, beyond the beach bike path, has the slopes closed. The tour is very enjoyable.
The ride took about 1:0 until the final destination, the beach of Leblon.
Back (subway)
Finished enjoying a beach it's time to get back. The pace until Siqueira Campos Station, in Copacabana -by bike path following Rim by street bikelane Figueiredo de Magalhães to the door of the Metro is very quiet. Option is the most recommended for those who don't want a lot of emotions.
Metro officials are well targeted and will indicate the door beside the roulette to go with the bike. You must pay passage usually may not be on top of the bike inside the station and down/up the stairs, is on his arm.
Coloring the public space of Rio de Janeiro
We present here the Mexican work Christopher Gusman Hernandez, who lives in Rio de Janeiro, and was in wonderful town, which came the inspiration to create their work!
Everything inspires in Rio, streets, friends, women, the Sun, the festivities, the sunrise and the sunset and especially the beach.
The time is its main ally that helps you imagine extraordinary situations, things that never go through people's minds so often simply.
Each photo that the artist makes it will evolve in the dashes and the details of the illustrations!
The Cultural Connection is an organization that promotes access to and content on the cultural area through integration between the most diverse art forms-the aim is to integrate culture in everyday life of people, and bring them in the Brazilian and world culture, cultural spaces and public spaces, offering new dynamics of socialization, enhancing the exchange of experiences, stimulating the curiosity and creativity of the people.
Autumn on the river
Weekend roadmap: Burning calories
After gorging on chocolate Easter is the time to deal with the consequences. A week has passed and if there are sweets in the box, the best is to get rid of them as soon as possible. Very likely that the sites of diets are hitting records of access, but you can go back to them in the second. For the weekend the TodoRio script has a recipe well light the base of fun.
The Happy hour is good to remember that a few drinks are less caloric and water has no calories.
Sake = 50 calories
** Also check out the script with the best Japanese restaurants in Rio
Wine = 110 calories (1 cup)
Dance (average of 6 calories per minute) and Kiss (a kiss as well as = about 12 calories). Here are tips for parties that the part of the dance is guaranteed. Now the Kiss, you decide on time, but has seen it's worth.
Sing (1:0 = 110 calories). You can release the voice and sing together in concert this Friday.
Check out the full schedule of Friday
Pedaling (1:0 = between 300 and 600 calories) and run (20 calories per minute), the idea is to move the body and detoxify the chocolatada this Easter. On the River, there is no lack of places to exercise.
** Also check out the Guide to Sports on the river
Continuing on the "diet carioca" Saturday is day of celebration. The samba (1:0 = 400 calories), hip hop (1:0 = 500 calories) and funk (1:0 = 600 calories) are powerful rhythms in the loss of calories.
Check out the full schedule Saturday
Laugh (during 15 min = average chocolate bar)

Weekend roadmap: national day of Forró
The forró is dominating the Rio de Janeiro, everyone already knows. From the Center to the West, several venues have already booked one night to pace. Pé de serra, University or e-mail. What matters is to glue your body in another body and beat the slippers until the sun comes up.
The Color Run
Weekend roadmap: my birthday
On Sunday, the full 1 year TodoRio.com. There are now 366 days of shows, trivia, screenplays, "corners" and details of the wonderful city. To celebrate, nothing better than hanging out, drinking, dancing and toasting to happiness is to have all in our lives! And the best, the way most of Rio de Janeiro.
Weekend roadmap: apart from Halloween
It is true that there are still a few days to get the 31 of October. But, now it's official: this is the weekend to drop the witches, shake the skeleton and do lift up dead. Become your favorite evil. Is the Halloween weekend!
Weekend roadmap: Forbidden for minors
With so much children's programming who is not a child or has no one ends up having the impression that the children holiday does not have space for adults. It is there that you're wrong. The nights this weekend are filled with parties and shows prohibited to minors. The animated programming invites people over 18 to dance, drink, flirt and go to sleep well after the 10:0 pm.
Weekend roadmap: fun, with or without sweet
The day of Saints Cosmas and Damian. Probably, the age to win the candy-filled bags as well. But, it is weekend and, with or without sweet, fun is guaranteed in Rio de Janeiro. Think well: with so many shows and festivals in the city, you will regret because of maria-mole? Impossible!
World car free day
Horns, slow traffic and people stressed. Although it does not combine with the blue sea and the green mountains of Rio, this has become the reality of carioca. But, all is not lost. To remember that it is possible to get around the city using another type of transport, such as bus, subway, bike, skate and even their own legs, day 22 September is the world car free day.
Solidary Race
Celebrating the beginning of spring, the race of solidarity that began 21 years ago in Brasilia, arrives in Rio today September 23 with a branch, the walk for peace.
River City Open
Few towns reunited as many natural reasons to host an Olympics to Rio de Janeiro. The Rio open city exhibition shows the charm of this scenario, sport par excellence.
Weekend roadmap: Watch the birdie!
As cliché, we need to emphasize: the Rio de Janeiro continues beautiful! Whether day or night, the landscapes reveal shapes, silhouettes and colors that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Thanks to technology and to the many clicks (professional or not) we can shield records increasingly breathtaking. In fact, Sunday is the Day of photography! And everyone throws the idea: choose your favorite scenario, freeze the best moments and show folks over at Facebook!
