Shortfilm made from NASA-Footage about Robbie, the living Robot
Schöner Kurzfilm von Neil Harvey, den er aus Videos der NASA zusammengeschnitten hat und der die Story von Robbie erzählt, einem tausend Jahre alten Roboter, der ein Bewusstsein erlangt hat und in der ISS durch's All fliegt.
2032. That was the year Robbie became self-aware, but no "SkyNet" dystopian future followed. Robbie is nice. He enjoys being helpful. He is good friends with the human astronauts, and became a practicing Catholic. Robbie has a fascination and affinity for humankind, but is not one of us, making him an excellent narrator for humanity's fall.
Robbie is a brilliant short film from Australia's Neil Harvey. Created entirely of NASA archival footage, Harvey, through editing and the writing of Robbie's monologue, constructs a touching, powerfully elegiac narrative around his robot main character, one which, in true sci-fi fashion, transverse boundaries of human nature, and vast amounts of time.

Help with newborn assessment please
- 0Nov 22, '12 by 69steelWhat would be the 4 most important assessments to do on a newborn straight after the birth to determine wellbeing of baby? Thanks!
- 2Nov 22, '12 by akulahawkRNQuote from 69steelThis sounds a little bit like a homework question. When you meet a patient for the first time, as you would with a newborn, what four things do you check first? Remember, you are looking for whether or not your brand-new patient is stable…What would be the 4 most important assessments to do on a newborn straight after the birth to determine wellbeing of baby? Thanks!
Think upon that for a bit, then post what you think.
- 0Nov 22, '12 by 1busymaniam69steel,
Ok the one minute apgar then five minute apgar are very necessary. In those few minutes between apgars you can you can assess for retractions/use of accessory muscles in respiration. Is the trachea midline. What are the newborn's oxygen sats? Would Narcan be appropriate? What about a blood glucose level? I am sure the temp is dropping mildly but it will rebound upward. I have recesitated/stabilized maybe 7-8 newborns then go back and calculate the one minute and five minute apgar later. Measurements, footprints and armband can be done later.
Hope this answers your ?

Is a persons reality, meaning, and purpose determined by their choice of study/job?
We each end up choosing, either randomly or due to interest a discipline to pursue in college, or generally in life. For example, a person who chooses medicine spend most of their life in a hospital instead of traveling and seeing the world. There's always that exception of people switching careers suddenly due to hating what they do. But, in reality, most people tend to settle with what they have and not peruse any other kind of mental stimulation or excitement or desire to truly learn out of interest and self-betterment.
Topics: Jobs life meaning
Mar 18 2013: I don't think this is true- that people do not pursue" other mental stimulation or a desire to learn out of interest and self-betterment." I think people generally love to learn and improve themselves and that the internet and other media have made it very easy to become familiar with all sorts of topics that interest people. Beyond this, do-it-yourself activities have returned to popularity, and engagement with others in social settings involves a variety of kinds of learning that people find gratifying.
In terms of your title question, some people find a large part of the meaning of their lives in their jobs, while others find their meaning and purpose first and foremost in family or community, however defined.
Mar 23 2013: My job supports my reality and meaning and that is what keeps me highly engaged with it. I am grateful to have the opportunity to earn an income In a way that is meaningful to me. It is also true that my job has informed my reality over the years and as Bob says, I feel my reality, meaning and purpose would be different had a I chosen a different career or line of study. While I am sure that there is an element of randomness to these " choices" I also feel that active decisions pull or push us in directions that are consistent with our own values if we let them and have the opportunity to do so..
Mar 22 2013: My meaning, reality, and purpose means i am happy. I have worked at a higher paying job where I was friggin miserable! i am 43 years old. I never was after the success money could buy. I have always been a free spirit, So to me... ones success is not measured by how much money you make, or how 'intelligent' you are. Intelligence is subjective anyhow. You may know know more Math than me, but I can spell better than you... etc... So it just depends.
As long as I am true to who I am, and I do not let anyone dictate me or my destiny... I will be alright!
Mar 21 2013: By choice yes, but the best thing is, you choose, too.
Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?
Neo: Because I choose to(o).
You choose also
Mar 21 2013: No, a job or work is just a means to an end in most cases. I chose a job I enjoyed but it still doesn't matter in meaning, only to reduce some of the tensions between people's expectations and their experience. A person's reality and meaning is in everything they do. Whether someone can smile in the rain or if they take unexpected events to be distractions or opportunities.
Mar 19 2013: The job/school may affect the purpose and meaning of life to an extent...depending on the (life)situation. The vast majority spend more time at school/job than with their family. A vocation that does not contribute to the purpose or meaning in life would be unfruitful, in my humble opinion.
It is a choice..really...one can make valid arguments on both sides.
Mar 20 2013: I disagree. I don't feel like this in my job, but when I look around me and hear people talking about their jobs, I feel like our society has forced many people to be in jobs that they do not enjoy and that do make their life unfruitful. It is truly unfortunate, but if you conduct a pole, I doubt that the majority of the people who have a job are happy in it. They go to their job in order to sustain themselves, their family and home. The world we live in now is much more dependent on financial security than meaning of life.
Mar 21 2013: "I don't feel like this in my job, but when I look around me and hear people talking about their jobs, I feel like our society has forced many people to be in jobs that they do not enjoy and that do make their life unfruitful."
Karim, why do you think so? I believe that it is still a personal choice/decision...our society does not force anyone to remain in jobs.
" I doubt that the majority of the people who have a job are happy in it. They go to their job in order to sustain themselves, their family and home.The world we live in now is much more dependent on financial security than meaning of life"
True. However, livelihood is important as well. We also have to take the individual's life situation in consideration. For ex:,there may be school loans to pay off or a family to support which may take precedence for that individual.

I have no problem with the lucky dog limit!
I have a problem and think they should limit "debris cautions"
« That's not exactly what Robby Gordon had in mind | Main | Busch and Reutimann see Chase chances take a hit in Pocono »
By admin | August 3, 2009
By Richard Allen
I do not have an answer for the question I am asking in the headline of this column. I am simply asking the question. The question came to mind during Monday's race in Pocono.
During the Pennsylvania 500 Jimmie Johnson and his #48 team experienced some sort of problem with the engine. Johnson at first speculated it was a carburetor problem. When changing that piece did not work other attempts were made until a change of the spark plugs apparently resolved the issue.
Here is where my concern came. In the process of solving the problem the #48 team lost three laps. However, as a result of NASCAR's 'Lucky Dog' rule, which allows the highest running lapped driver to get a free pass and make up one of his laps, Johnson was eventually able to get back on the lead lap.
In other words, he was essentially given three laps on the track as three separate cautions came out when he was the highest running lapped driver. On most tracks a driver three laps in arrears would never have that opportunity as there would almost always be someone else eligible for the gift.
But because of the Pocono track's length and odd shape, not many cars actually fall one lap down during the course of a race. Since there were so few cars to lose a lap on the track Johnson found himself making up lap after lap as a result of the rule.
Something just seems wrong about a team being handed three laps. If the double file restart procedure is going to remain in place, and it is, then I see nothing wrong with giving a driver one lap back, possibly even two, but three or more seems excessive.
Often in dirt track racing, the field will take a couple of courtesy caution laps to allow a driver to change a flat tire and get back in the race. But, if his problems go beyond that, it is just the way racing goes. Cars can't circle around all night waiting on a major problem to be repaired.
Allowing a driver a receive one, or even two, free passes seems equivalent to courtesy laps in dirt racing. However, once a team has exceeded two laps down, then their troubles probably ought to be chalked up to racing luck.
The problem with that line of thinking comes when it is considered that with the double file restart a driver would never have a chance to get a lap back without the free pass. Using the old system in which lapped cars lined up on the inside for restarts, Johnson might well have made up his laps legitimately. In which case, not giving him the free pass, however many times he needed it, would seem unfair.
This column is not meant to pick on Jimmie Johnson. There have been others to get multiple uses of the 'Lucky Dog' during a particular race. He just happened to be the one to provide the example this time.
Johnson and his crew cannot be faulted for taking advantage of the rule either. The question is, should the rule be limited?
Had Johnson only be allowed to use one free pass he would have finished no better than 31st. The same would have been true had he been allowed two free passes, as there were no cars only one lap down at the finish.
Instead, he worked his way up to 13th after being allowed back on the lead lap. That made for a difference of 54 championship points. Being that he is essentially assured of making the chase for the Championship, it makes little difference now. However, what if the same scenario takes place within the Chase?
Should the 'Lucky Dog' be limited? I really don't know. I can see the validity of both sides of the argument.
My solution would be to go back to the old way of racing back to the line but that will never happen because it has been deemed unsafe, even though it was considered safe enough for 50 years of NASCAR racing.

I have no problem with the lucky dog limit!
I have a problem and think they should limit "debris cautions"
ABsolutely. I don't care who is driving, getting 3 laps back by charity just isn't what racing is about. This isn't the only time this has happened, and, as much as I admire the #48 team for figuring out what their problems were, being given that many laps certainly takes the glamour out of finishing in the top 20. But, I guess, with the COT and so many flat tracks, Nascar has to find some way to manyufacture 'excitement', don't they?
There are 2 issues here. The first is being multiple laps down. The second is receiving more than one free pass because you keep falling off the lead lap. If you are more than 1 lap down, you should not be allowed back on the lead lap through the "lucky dog" rule. I agree that there is probably a reason you are that far back. Last year at the July race at Daytona, Reutimann was 5 laps down due to engine issues. Thanks to many late race cautions he finished on the lead lap. That's just not right. You probably would only have these situations at tracks like Daytona, Talladega, Pocono, and the road courses.
I don't buy that they double-file restarts prevent any lap down cars from getting their lap back. They can get it back, it just takes work and a fast race car.
The second issue of getting multiple free passes because you keep falling off the lead lap. Menard had 3 of those yesterday. Obviously the tire damage affected the car and he couldn't keep up. If it were almost any other track, he would have been lapped multiple times.
Oh Yes, I have a problem with the Lucky Dog system.
No car during the course of a race should receive more than one free pass.
A couple of years ago at Infineon, Kyle Busch was down five laps and, as a result of multiple free passes, ended the race in the top five.
I agree that the double file restarts do handicap lapped cars, but one pass is enough.
Johnson actually received four Lucky Dogs, the first put him back on the lead lap when he was initially having problems before then falling 3 laps behind. Of course, once they fixed Johnson's car, I knew he would finish on the lead lap…you just knew NASCAR would throw as many phantom debris cautions as needed to enure it (which they threw between the caution for Stremme/Gordon and the caution when Hamlin dumped Rueitteman (and why wasn't Hamlin penalized 5 laps like Stremme?). If the Hamlin incident wouldn't have occured so closely after the phantom debris caution, NA$CAR would have soon thrown another to help out their "golden owner."
SA better question might be: Should there be a Lucky Dawg? I vote no. The quality of racing is not measured by the number of cars on the lead lap, contrary to NA__AR's belief.
I was wondering the same thing about Hamlin George. He should have gotten the same 5 lap penalty Gordon and Stremme did, cause he was rough driving just like they were. It was just unfair, that he was not treated the same as others who did the same thing. I don't think a driver should get more then one lap back a race either! Actually I just wish I had the amazing good luck JJ has week after week. If I had just 1/100 of the amazingly good luck he always has week in and week out, I'd be a millionaire by now. LOL!
Let's remember that just because a driver gets 3 lucky dog awards, he still isn't guaranteed a good finish. Paul Menard also got 3 laps back yesterday but still finished back in 26th, only a few spots higher than he would have if he had remained 3 laps down. A car as strong as Johnson's obviously was may well have earned all 3 of those laps back under old rules, and in that case I have no problem with him getting all 3 back.
One free pass during race is enough. I prefer none, but more than one ruins the integrity of the sport — especially with the phony debris cautions and dust the wall cautions that NASCAR seems to call when one of the stars is a lap or more down. I like and admire the 48 team, but they did not deserved a top twenty finish the way they ran.
It's hard to call it racin' anymore. I dislike the lucky dog rule as much as I dislike the double file re-start rule. And if I hear the lame doctor and Larry Mac utter " double file re-start, shootout style" one more time I'm going to run to the bathroom and hurl. The only thing that made this race even remotely exciting was the double file re-starts. That's a sad statement. Being a long time Jeff Burton fan, it's hard to watch him struggling. It's doesn't help that he's been taken out four times in those double file re-start. Even without them he's struggling though.
I think the Lucky Dawg rule needs to be modified. How about NASCAR using those scoring loops and only giving the Lap Down driver a pass if he's within 1/4 lap of the leader. That's the way it used end up…sort of. If you were close to the leader when the yellow came out, you could race your way past him and get your lap back. This would just remove the riskiness of "racing past" cars while there may be a hazard present.
The "Lucky Dog" is just another nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned. They are doing everything they can to create the illusion that there is close competitive racing. By your comments it sort of proves that they are fooling no one. Instead of racing back to the flag when the caution came out they opted to give the first car a lap down the lap back. Auto racing is about fighting "tooth and nail" for every inch but not in NASCAR. There are now more lead changes in the pits then there are on the race track.
NASCAR peaked in popularity in 2005 and has been on a downward dpiral since then. And by what I read in various Forums every change they have made has added another "nail" in the coffin. The "lucky dog, COT, phantom cautions, unfair penalties depending on the team, pit road speeding and the list goes on.
So they can sit there and have their media shills espouse how great the racing is but they are fooling no one. As crowds shrink and tv ratings continue down and profits are dropping they'll wake up one day. But it will be too late.
I am an absolute hater of the lucky dog. You lose a lap racing you get it back racing. Pure and simple.
The sanctioning body should've laid the rule down long ago about racing back under yellow. Race back once, lose 5 laps. Race back twice, get parked. A very simple solution to racing under yellow.
The lucky dog stinks.
My ONLY problem with the Lucky Dog is awarding it during a "Competition Caution". Tony Stewart took full advantage of it in yesterday's race. And there was a race last year that benefitted Jeff Gordon.
There's something about getting a lap back on a "planned" stoppage that irks the hell out of me!
The Lucky Dog is fine just like it is. I really want to see the fastest 35 cars make the race on time. Everyone else races Saturday for the last 8 spots. The past champion must race also to get in.

Defiant Jagan to resume Odarpu yatra
Rosaiah rushed to Delhi and met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and said that there was no threat to his government following the yatra.
Congress also sought to downplay Jagan's move saying it was not worried about such an issue.
"There are far greater issues to deal with, like the Jammu and Kashmir situation and the economy. This is not an issue on which we are worried about. This is an issue of one MP," party spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan told reporters in Delhi.
Asked whether Jaganmohan had defied the party directive by undertaking the yatra, Natarajan said, "I am sure the MP knows what the party line is".
She said the AICC in-charge of Andhra Pradesh M Veerappa Moily (who is currently abroad) will look into the issue at the state level.
Jagan boarded the Falaknuma Express at 4 pm at the Secunderabad railway station as scores of his cheering followers saw him off. None of the Congress MLAs, considered close to the rebellious MP, came to the railway station to see Jagan off following his "instructions".
Earlier, Rosaiah made it clear that his Cabinet colleagues and party legislators should not join the tour as the Congress high command has not given a nod to it.
"Whether or not to take part in the yatra is an individual choice but if any minister, MLA or MLC indeed takes part in the yatra, it will be a clear violation of the high command," Rosaiah told reporters in Hyderabad.

Hey all. I'm in Beirut now. I'll just say the city really isn't anything like I expected. It is the exact opposite of Syria in that it is very westernized. French influence is very acute here also, which is why it was called the "Paris of the East" with its many outdoor cafes.
I'll be staying here for the rest of this week, probably making a day trip to Baalbek to see Roman and Phonecian ruins somewhere in between. Think I'm going to go get a beer now. Later.
One Response to "Beirut pictures"
Guess who Says:
September 19th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Good to see ya made it to Beirut
You'll have to tell me what the Beer is like in Beirut.
I imagine the food is probably good as well. I'm surprized
to hear that it still has a lot of French influence.
I've heard the "Paris of the east" comment before but
would have thought much of that influence to have diminished
anyhow just finishing up at work, time to leave,
I'll have a Beer as well at habits

I Can't Help Falling In Love With You5 Reviews
What else can I say? Alice and Brendon sitting in a tree...c'mon, you know the drill. ;) (and yes, I am alive and well!)
Chapter 8: I Can't Help Falling In Love With You
Alice's POV
You think you know a guy after you've gone out with him for a couple days a year back. In my case, I would definitely have to rethink that. What kind of guy, after going through rejection and a phase of being miserable, would cradle your head and whisper sweet nothings in your ear for a half hour?
Brendon Urie would.
Don't get me wrong: I still don't trust the guy entirely. Although he was very sweet-unlike the other Brendon Urie that I had met a year ago-I couldn't trust him completely until the waters were tested and the games were played. But right then, I needed a shoulder to cry on.
Ever since Brendon had left, my world had crumbled down. My parents found out about the 'fling' I had with Brendon. They scolded me for being so rash, then scolded me again for changing my phone number and cell phone altogether. Sarah and Lucy (my supposed newfound friend, but really Brendon's /cousin/...) definitely had a trick up their sleeve when they pulled that plan on Brendon and I that night. Trust was something I held above everything-trust was the key to a relationship. Not just a romantic relationship, but to a boss-and-employee relationship, a friend relationship, and...just in general, life as a whole.
So after I had finished crying on Brendon's shoulder, he quietly asked, "Would you like me to drive you home? I'll just call Luce to tell her we won't be joining them for dinner..."
But I didn't want Brendon to drive me home. Me + guy alone in car = prone to my vulnerability. "No...thank you for offering though. Sorry we met again on the wrong foot..." I pushed myself away from him, and pulled out a Kleenex from my purse, wiping my nose delicately. "I'll catch a cab, though."
Brendon watched me pull out my cell phone to call a cab. He even waited for me to get in the cab when it got there. But before I closed the taxi door, he rushed forward. "I...I still have your phone number...I know this sounds ridiculous, but...could...could we--?"
I already knew what he was going to say, and I planned it out in my head before the taxi even arrived. I shyly began to say, "My cell phone number has changed. I still have yours, though...and if...if you don't mind, could I call you instead?...I just don't feel...comfortable with you having my cell phone number at the mo-"
"No, it's fine. I understand. Well, good night, Alice." Brendon smiled down at me, before closing the door for me. I didn't even get a word in edgeways as the taxi drove off. But in a way, I guess it was for the best. And besides, I was glad that Brendon didn't put up a fight when I asked if I called him instead.
Evaluation number one: A+ for trusting me to call him back.
Conclusion number one: I was definitely going to call him back. The guy needed a second chance.
"Good job, Ross." Brendon snickered as he walked through the door to their hotel room. Ryan, who was sitting on the couch eating popcorn with Spencer, turned around to look at Brendon's rather joyful face. "I'm guessing the plan worked, then?" He asked, getting up and walking up to look at Brendon properly. Brendon beamed at Ryan. "If I could ever have a blood brother like you, I'd do something crazy. But for now, this'll settle..." Brendon told the band mate he had suddenly trusted as a brother. As if on a sugar high, Brendon took a giant step forward and swept Ryan off his feet-literally.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Ryan shouted with the utmost amount of anxiety. "Put me down, Urie, PUT ME FUCKING DOWN!" Spencer, who had turned around to watch the spectacle, laughed as hard as he possibly could. Brendon was swinging Ryan around with his arms hooked under his legs, and his other arms supporting his back. (Well, Ryan was 100 lbs, so it wasn't as if Brendon was really breaking a sweat...)
Jon suddenly came out of the bathroom, and saw the whole thing as a circus. He raised an eyebrow, and sat off to the side, asking Spencer, "What the fuck happened? I just took a trip to the bathroom, and suddenly someone let Brendon out of the cage!"
Spencer somehow managed to tell Jon what had happened, until Jon decided for something crazier: "Hey! Nothing's ever crazy without J-Walk on the floor!" So Jon dove into the scene, knocking down Brendon. When Ryan fell on top of Brendon, Jon yelled, "DOGGY PILE!" And squashed the fragile Ryan beneath his body. Ryan exclaimed an, "Oof!" while Brendon yelped, "JON WALKER, GET THE FUCK OFF!"
Spencer snorted with laughter, rolling about the floor. Ryan moaned with pain etched upon his face. He glanced at his best friend, laughing in the corner. "Dude, Spence...Help...Me!" Spencer only shook his head. "No, you deserved this one, Ry." Ryan only shot Spencer a very hateful look, before somehow rolling out of the doggy pile.
"It's actually kinda late you guys...And plus, we have a little tour around San Francisco tomorrow. Then...our tour ends, and we can start our writing process again." Trust Ryan to ruin the fun...
"Okay, let's get to bed." Jon said in a sudden calmer manner, pulling Brendon up to his feet.
Spencer said, "You know, I've never figured out why Jon is the first to get drunk, but the last to get a hangover...and the last to get hyper, but the first to get serious about everything."
"That's because Jon's a character. He never fails to amuse..." Ryan trailed off, collapsing onto his bed.
"PORNOMIME!" Jon yelled suddenly from his bedroom.
"SHUT UP!" Three voices yelled in return.
One Week Later...
"Chica bow chica bow wow..." Brendon sang out loud, leaning back in his flimsy chair. The band decided to rent out a place in San Francisco, because Ryan thought (after the tour of SF, of course) that San Francisco was going to be the 'new place' for his inspiration on writing the next album.
As of right then, the band was trying out some tunes to work with the lyrics that Ryan had written for one of their songs. "Brendon, that's really not helping at the moment..." Spencer said tartly. Ryan was close to pulling his hair out, and Spencer could tell. After all, being best friends since god knows when (okay, since basically middle school, but still...) it really helped when Spencer saw the small tell-tale signs that Ryan was annoyed.
But as if Brendon wasn't annoying enough already, his phone started ringing.
...So testosterone boys and harlequin girls, will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?
Dance to this beat...
Dance to this beat...
"Hello?" Brendon asked just as he flipped open his cell phone.
"You're supposed to silence your phone while we're in practice, Bren!" Spencer whispered to his friend harshly. Brendon rolled his eyes, and turned away.
"Who put Lying Is The Most Fun as his ringtone, anyways?" Spencer asked, turning to look at Ryan and Jon. Ryan was too busy fiddling with his lyrics and notes. Jon, however, turned to the side, blushing furiously. "Jon Walker...I swear to fucking god..." Spencer sighed, rubbing his temples.
"I don't think that'll be too great." Jon added as if his comment were a side-note. Spencer cocked his head.
Then Spencer asked hesitantly, afraid of what Jon meant, "What won't be too great?" Jon stared at Spencer. "Are you stupid or stupid?"
"What?!" Spencer asked with incredulity. The bassist had gone psychotic.
"You said you swear to fucking god. I don't think fucking god would be a good thing, Spence. God might not be very happy with becoming pregnant with your baby..."
"I'VE GOT IT!" Ryan said, punching the air with his fist. Jon fell out of his chair. "Whoa, Ry, never knew you were such a violent person!" Jon murmured from the floor. This time, both Spencer and Ryan turned to look at the psychotic bassist on the floor. "What?!" They both asked.
"Nevermind." Jon groaned.
"It's lunchtime." Brendon announced, joining the conversation once more. Ryan checked his watch. "But I'm not even hungry yet..."
"That's because when you are hungry, you eat in large amounts. Then you're never hungry during regular mealtimes." Brendon told his friend brashly.
"Oh." Ryan said, a bit offended. Brendon looked back at Ryan. "Hey, I'm going out with Alice. We're going to have lunch. Anyone in?"
"No." Everyone chorused.
"Besides, every mealtime is a makeout session for you guys," Jon said sarcastically. Brendon looked at Jon harshly. "Are you kidding me? If I get within a inches' length from Alice, she'd punch me. And it's already been a /week/."
"It's called 'taking it slow', Urie. You should try it sometime." Ryan chuckled, before sitting back down at his desk. Brendon rolled his eyes, and said, "Ha, ha, ha...I get it."
"Yes, well, don't do anything stupid. Pack your condoms. Bring the pills. Do the shit." Jon told his friend as he walked out the door.
"Stupid, it's 'do the math', not 'do the shit'." Spencer argued, before getting up to get a Red Bull from the fridge. Ryan mumbled, "I like that. That's gonna be one of my lines..."
"Peekaboo." Brendon felt his earlobe get tickled as a very feminine voice spoke softly into his ear. Alice. She giggled as Brendon turned around to face the doe-eyed girl. "Hey, I thought I was the one who did the scaring and peekaboos around here..." Brendon murmured, before tucking a stray of curly dark brown hair behind her ear.
"Not anymore. You can't have control over our relationship the whole time, Bren..."
"I know, I know..."
"I was joking." Alice said as-a-matter-of-factly, laughing as she saw the slight blush on her lover's face. Brendon chuckled. "I resent that. Besides, I'm a man-I need to prove my manliness."
"Hah. Does that 'manliness' include putting on clown-faced makeup, prancing around on stage, and kissing your bandmate?" Alice asked straightforwardly.
"Okay, now that's just poking fun at the band in general. Not cool, Ali. Not cool." Brendon said mock-disapprovingly, shaking his head.
"Lunch?" Alice asked, opening the glass door to her local favorite diner.
"Of course, milady. Speaking of which, ladies first." Brendon said with a coy smile. He took Alice's place, opening the door wide for Alice to go through.
"I don't like that smile. It's too sexy for my liking." Alice teased, tapping her finger on Brendon's nose. Brendon watched her walk through, and laughed to himself before walking in after her.
The two talked about nonsensical things (as per usual), slurped on milkshakes, and had burgers-the typical American lunch-diner stuff, with the exception that Brendon had a somewhat German background and Alice had a small Irish background.
"I think I'm full to the brim." Brendon said in the car as they drove to San Francisco Park to walk off their newly-gained poundage.
"I think it's safe to say that I'm full as well..." Alice murmured when they got out and sat on the grass, looking up at the blue sky with puffball clouds to match. The two just sat there, figuring out the different shapes of clouds.
"That one looks like a French Fry," Brendon slurred sleepily. Alice giggled. "Is Mr. Urie getting tired?" She asked, turning to look at him a little clearer. Brendon sat up. "No! I'm never tired..."
"Yeah, right. The energizer bunny in you must run out as some point." Alice pointed out, sure that her answer was correct.
"Well...Fine. So if I'm tired, how would you wake me up?" Brendon asked, crossing his arms. He had surely stumped her.
"Like...Well..." Alice thought aloud, stroking her chin.
"Ha. I've got you." Brendon smirked, leaning into her. He was just two inches away from her-another inch, and he'd be dead meat.
"Not quite, Brendon." She whispered, leaning in to kiss him softly on the lips.
It was the first time their lips had met. Brendon felt the chapstick that had softened Alice's lips-and man, did it feel like heaven on earth. His eyes were wide open when she kissed him, and he looked at the girl he had come to love-a few freckles splatted around her eyelids, that light-peachy skin that she inherited from her Irish background. The apples of her cheeks that glowed red when she smiled...because she smiled into the kiss she gave to Brendon.
My kiss.
Our kiss.
But then she pulled back suddenly. "What?" Brendon asked, all worriedly.
"Nothing. If I gave you more, you'd just take it all for granted...it wouldn't be anything special anymore."
"Stop it." Brendon said, a bit hurt.
"Stop what?" Alice grinned, sitting back down. But Brendon pulled her back up and looked into her eyes. "I don't like it when you play games."
"But you played games with all your previous girls before me..." Alice protested, writhing to get out of Brendon's strong hold on her.
"That's because none of them mattered to me as much as you. It's...It's because...I love you." Brendon said slowly, saying each word deliberately, with as much passion as he could muster.
Alice stared at him hard. He's worthy, girl. Take him.
"Brendon...I know this sounds stupid but...I can't help falling in love with you." It was eating her up entirely-Alice couldn't even hold it in anymore. For a week, she held in her lust and her love for him. But now, she just wanted to let it all out. She wanted to tell him how addicted she was to him, how every smile made her day just that much more brighter.
"It's okay babe...I can't help it either." Brendon smiled, before leaning in to hug her.
"No. We can't do this anymore." Alice said, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"What?" Brendon asked, shocked as ever./ Can't do this? But I just told her I loved her!/
"No...I have to show you how I really feel...No games, I promise." Alice smiled slowly, and went in to kiss him properly on his full lips.
This time, both of them smiled while they kissed. Not because it was purely out of lust, it was because they were finally finding out what they meant to each other- everything.
A/N: Aww, tell me that was cute. ;)

Study of the Economic Impact of Virginia Public Higher Education
AbstractThis study examines the effect of the public higher education sector on Virginia's economy. The study consists of three distinct parts. The first part consists of a full accounting of the current flow of economic activity in Virginia that can be directly tied to the expenditures and activities of publicly supported institutions of higher education. The second part is a forecast of the additional economic impact of a policy initiative to increase the number of undergraduate and graduate degrees by Virginia public institutions by 70,000 over the period 2010 to 2020. The third part is an evaluation of a broader set of economic and social benefits generated by the public higher education sector, including enhancements to graduates' life circumstances such as improved health, community benefits such as reduced crime, and economic benefits that stem from industrial attraction, entrepreneurial activity, innovation, and workforce development.

knowing what i know, what i feel and you acting on it.
i got current tendencies, like i said they are unintensional.
Its the idea that a guy like you, will not fall for a girl like me,
im not doubting me, because if i were me, i would date me(lol).
but im believing that i dont fit in your idea of a perfect girl,
knowing that im good enough for you, and goping thet you see it.
thats why i dont linger onto feelings for people who i rate
cant accept/appreciate my humps and bumps.
expevting me to have 'bootylicous ass' and a 'flat tummy'
but yet i fell for your bony ass
ive learnt to accept that we are different
but you fail to understand the beauty in diversity
hence we all dont look alike.
do you see my dilema?
its unintensional thoughts and habits that make me believe
that you will never fall for a girl like me.
thats when i dont give you a chance, i disreguard whats obvious,
but you know what they say
'ignorance is bliss'.
i become nassty so i dont get hurt.
its not intensional,but the idea of you
is good enough in my head.

Stumps for Hands said...
Straight-pride parades aren't necessary because straight people aren't subjected to intolerance from ignorant bigots like yourself as a result of their sexuality. And if you're worried about children seeing "this kind of stuff" in WoW because it's a place "where children play," well, it's not. See that big letter "T" on the front of the box? It stands for "teen" and it means the game isn't supposed to be played by children who haven't reached their teens, genius. Not that it should matter since queer sexuality isn't something dirty or shameful or something to be hidden from young people.

The Bloody Maria
As Canadians we take great pride our tomato based cocktails and hangover cures. They are as Canadian as embracing free healthcare or wrinkling your nose when someone say "melting pot culture".
Which is why we're shocked this idea took so long to percolate to the surface.
Toronto based Brandon Bannon has taken the fresh flavours of a city awash in taco-pop-ups and mixed it with a Niagara region grape based vodka and created a cocktail with colours Frida Kahlo would be proud to call her own.
Meet The Bloody Maria, the cure all for an international hangover:
Muddled Pico de Gallo (tomato, cilantro, garlic, red onion) into a separate bowl and let rest. Rim a mason or wide mouth glass with equal parts; cayenne pepper, black pepper, coarse salt, and paprika.
Build cocktail and garnish with fresh cucumber and lemon and stir gently.
Then simply enjoy, because if drinking a garden can't cure what ails you, your probability already dead. FUN FACT: Clamato is far more popular in Canada and Mexico than in the United States.

Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in very young children who lack the cognitive and water skills to deal with the danger.
With over 300,000 backyard swimming pools in NSW, swimming pool safety is a vital issue that affects the whole community.
The Swimming Pools Act 2012
In 2012, a comprehensive review of the Swimming Pools Act 1992 was finalised. This review identified a number of amendments designed to enhance the safety of children under the age of five years around private ('backyard') swimming pools in NSW.
Learn more from the Division of Local Government website
The Swimming Pool Act 1992 first commenced on 1 August 1992. The following general summary provides an indication of the various fencing provisions that apply depending upon the installation date of the pool.
Installation prior to 1 August 1990
Swimming pools must be either surrounded by a pool fence that separates the pool from any residential building on the premises, or alternatively, access to the pool area must be restricted at all times by fencing, or 'child resistant' barriers must be provided to all doors and windows which provide access to the pool area.
Installation after 1 August 1990
Swimming pools must be surrounded by a pool fence that is separated from any residential building on the premises or from any place (whether private or public) adjoining the premises.
Installation after 1 July 2010
The Swimming Pools Act 1992 permitted various automatic exemptions for swimming pools installed on small lots (< 230m2), large lots (> 2 hectares) and in locations where the pool adjoined a large water body. The Swimming Pools Amendment Act 2009 has since removed these automatic exemptions. The amendments provide for a delayed commencement with pools for which construction or installation has commenced before 1 July 2010 retaining the automatic exemption. All new private pools constructed in NSW after 1 July 2010 must be enclosed by a four-sided, child resistant barrier.
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in very young children. Many of these deaths could be prevented by ensuring that the pool is enclosed by an appropriate swimming pool fence that is properly maintained at all times. Particular attention should be given to ensure that access points into the pool enclosure are self closing and self latching from any open position and that the latching devices are working correctly.
Is my spa / portable pool / wading pool required to be fenced?
The Swimming Pools Act defines a swimming pool as meaning an excavation, structure or vessel:
If you have or wish to install a swimming pool then you must ensure that it is at all times surrounded by a child-resistant barrier that separates the swimming pool from any residential building situated on the premises and from any place (whether public or private) adjoining the premises. The barrier must be designed, constructed, installed and maintained in accordance with the specified standards.
A spa pool is not required to be surrounded by a child-resistant barrier so long as access to the water contained in the spa pool is restricted, in accordance with the standards prescribed by the regulations, at all times when the spa pool is not in actual use.
The laws provide Council with the powers to issue directions to comply with the swimming pool legislation and to issue penalty notices and commence legal action where landowners and occupiers fail to comply with the requirements and relevant directions.
The current applicable fencing enclosure construction standards are regulated by the Swimming Pool Fencing Regulation 2008 which calls up Australian Standard 1926.1-2007 Swimming Pool Safety, Part 1.
To check if your pool meets the requirements, you can apply to Council for a Swimming Pool Compliance Certificate (go to the top of this page for the form).
Clause 10 of the Swimming Pool Regulation 2008 requires that an appropriate notice be displayed within the pool enclosure with the notice to incorporate the following words:
The notice is also required to incorporate a simple flow sequence (which may be the flow sequence depicted in the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guideline) containing details of resuscitation techniques (for infants, children and adults).
A weatherproof sign can be purchased from Council for $20. Simply come into Council's main Administration Building to purchase.Learn more from this simple brochure on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

CHICAGO HEIGHTS | Mayor David Gonzalez said Monday the city likely will raise water rates next month both to provide funds for infrastructure work and to provide sufficient funds in case the courts decide the proposed water rate increase by Hammond is just.
Chicago Heights receives its water from Hammond and is in discussions with the Indiana city regarding its contract.
Corporation Counsel T.J. Somer updated the City Council on Monday regarding a hearing he attended earlier in the day in Indianapolis before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.
The case before the commission is one of two lawsuits Chicago Heights has filed against the city of Hammond over the inability to come to an agreement on a new contract for Hammond to continue providing water to Chicago Heights.
"The issue at hand (Monday) was Hammond's motion to dismiss our complaint before the Utility Commission, claiming that they lacked the jurisdiction to impose rate regulation over the (city) of Hammond, claiming that Hammond wasn't a utility," Somer said.
After two hours of argument and testimony, the commission decided to take the ruling under consideration, according to Somer.
"They essentially promised us that they would have a decision back on the jurisdictional argument by the first of the year," Somer said.
Gonzalez said the city does not believe Hammond's plan to raise the cost of water for Chicago Heights from 57 cents to $2.20 per 1,000 gallons is fair.
"Right now, Lansing is paying $1.10 for the same water," Gonzalez said. "It's from the same treatment facility. Why should they pay $1.10 and we pay $2.20?"
The City Council on Monday also approved an ordinance that decreases the time period that must pass before the city can send a delinquent water bill to collections.
"It's actually going to shorten that time period from what is now 70 days to 40 days," Somer said.
In other city news, Treasurer James Dee presented an estimated 2012 tax levy that, while subject to change, is expected to be approved by the City Council at its Dec. 17 meeting.
"We're proposing in this draft an increase of 1.5 percent to the overall levy," Dee said.
That increase would represent the same amount of increase approved for the 2011 tax levy.
Dee said a 1.5 percent increase would result in a homeowner paying about $20 more in property taxes on a house with an assessed evaluation of $100,000.

How Does Your Sunscreen Impact Marine Life?
Here in the U.S., many tourists and beachgoers just wrapped up trips to the beach for the season. That also means that millions of people lathered themselves in sunscreen to protect themselves from harmful sun rays — a precautionary measure that you're taught to do at a young age. But while this lotion protects humans, a growing body of research shows that it has an impact on oceans.
Infographic: BP to Blame for 2010 Deepwater Oil Disaster, Rules Judge
Last week, a United States federal judge ruled that BP's reckless and negligent behavior is at fault for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which killed 11 people and caused 200 million gallons of oil to flood into the Gulf of Mexico. Today's ruling opens up BP to billions of dollars in possible civil penalty fines, including a possible $18 billion under the Clean Water Act.

He taxes businesses so bad they are moving out of america and he hates our congress. I'd say he is responsible for crimes and re-writing our laws (illegal) and people are fed up with this King Obama that has invaded our american spirit. He won't balance a budget, spends money like its water and threatens our congress that if he doesn't get his way he will do it anyway. Americans should be outraged at Obama and Congress for letting Obama abuse his executive powers and for lying for the american people every time he opens up his mouth. He is a friend of Bill Ayers and his campaign was funded by the Ayers family. If you don't know who he is lookhim up. He's a murderer.
