"I Hate Being Vietnamese" by Fong Tran
Vid Credits go to Dou Her
Come thru for a LA show: http://www.facebook.com/events/160786790719217/164482353682994/?notif_t=plan_mall_activity
We are pleased to announce that community organizer, youth advocate, and incredible spoken word artist Fong "Batman" Tran will be driving all the way from Sacramento to perform at our June common ground show. We asked Fong for his thoughts on this month's comeback theme, "healing." Here's what he had to say:
We don't heal just when we're hurt or damaged but healing is a apart of the everyday struggle that we live through. Our bodies, minds and spirits deserve to heal and to be replenished. Art serves as that bat-mobile vehicle toward healing because art taps into our creative spirit or inner voice which is often times denied autonomy due to our daily grind. Healing spaces are necessary because there are times when we can't always heal on our own and it requires friends, fam and boo-thangs, plus you wanna help other heal others too. HEALING PARTIES!! Lets get "HEALING WASTED!!"
For more on Fong, visit his Tumblr. Curious for more before the show? See him performing his poem "WTF" here.
It is finally here. Since the beginning of the slam season in August of last year, poets have been competing every month to earn a spot in the semi-finals. 18 poets made it into semi-finals and after two days of competitions, we are down to our top 8!
The poets competing in finals are as follows:
Fong Tran
Buddy Sahagun
The Poet "i"
Jazz Sufi
The Saint
Katelyn Lucas
Rob Zenz
Leo Bryant
Finals will consist of a total of 9 poets. Where is that 9th poet coming from? Well, right before the finals competition, we will have a one round, last chance slam. Whoever receives the highest score in that slam will automatically be placed in finals. Sign-ups will be first come, first served on the list. Preference will go to poets that have competed previously in semi-finals.
And if all that isn't enough to get you in the seats, our hostess for the evening will be none other than the Oakland Poetry Slam Host/Coach Nazelah!
We are not only making history in the city of Stockton, but we are putting the Valley on the map in the slam community. Please support this event because not only will it be a fantastic night of poetry, it will also be a fundraiser for the 2012 Pierced Ear Poetry Slam team and getting them to Nationals in Charlotte, NC.
See you there!
Admission - $8

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > Welcome to the desert boys.
I love you so much.2 Reviews
Gerard and Delilah. Yeah, just read... if you want.
Gerard's POV
I was awaken by a bit of sunlight entering through her dark red curtains of her bedroom. It took me a second to realize where I was but I heard a soft sigh and looked down and saw Delilah's head buried into my chest. We were in her room together. I was silently holding her as she slept in my arms, all was at peace. I was with the girl who had stolen my heart and filled the darkness in my life. I couldn't believe my luck. The fact that I had dreaded the idea of coming to this town to find that if I hadn't come I wouldn't have found the girl that understood me to a point of complete amazement. I would have never guessed a girl 3 and a half years younger than me who lived in a desert town of boredom would be the one to make it into my heart.
Soon the thoughts of the night before came back to me... everything I had told her.
"Delilah, my past isn't a pretty one, can you understand that?" I had asked her as I sat on the bed trying to prepare myself for what was to come.
"Of course I understand that, my past wasn't pretty either," she said stroking my hand feeling my nerves rising.
With that I knew it was safe to start.
"I was this kid, this kid that no one wanted to be around. I was very distant from everyone except for Mikey. My parents worried I'd never make friends, they thought I was anti-social. In a way I was. I was afraid of people, of them judging me. I was different and saw things in a different way than others did. Then I entered Jr. High, 7th grade. I was on my own then. Mikey was still in elementary school and I was really alone. Until I met Ray. He and I had enough in common to have small conversations and were able to hang out together at lunch. It wasn't much of a friendship until 8th grade started. I had become even more of a loner, I was spending all my time at home in my bedroom drawing and having fake gun fights with Mikey. Mikey was one of the only people I interacted with anymore. For some reason Ray noticed this and began trying to spend more and more time with me, trying to talk to me. Before I knew it I was depending on his friendship. He also introduced Frank to me and I became friends with him as Mikey did. That was the beginning of our foursome. We all became very close that year. And when Mikey was going through everything, well Ray was there. He was there for it all. I was going through so much guilt knowing I couldn't help Mikey like I should've and I felt like I was spiraling in a pit of nothing. I started taking pills," I paused to see her reaction and I saw she was looking at me intently and her eyes were glazed over with tears. I continued as she squeezed my hand. "They were for depression and I was taking them as Mikey was getting better. Then I met someone that summer, a girl that would change everything for me. Eliza Cuts. I thought she was perfect and amazing and just everything I wanted in life. But I was wrong, I was so damn wrong. One night when I was with her Ray had told me about some jerks who had beat up Frank again. By this time Eliza and I were dating for a few months and Frank and I had become very close friends and something happened in my mind. I wasn't sure if it was a reaction from the pills I had abruptly stopped taking or I had always had but I had a sort of black out. Eliza got scared, i had apparently swung at her in anger and I just didn't know. A week later I found out from her mom that she was on a date with another guy and well it killed me inside. Ray took care of that though. He put her back in her rightful place and Eliza never even tried speaking to me again, which was probably for the best. I was still having black outs a lot and I tried to stop them but they just wouldn't..." I stop to see her crying. I wasn't sure from what but before I could ask her she told me.
"Gerard, I'm sorry you got hurt...please understand I'd never... ever.... hurt you that way, ever," she said looking me in the eyes with slow tears falling down. I wiped away her tears and she reached for my cheek as well, I was surprised I to find I too was crying. I had been crying a lot lately and well, it was nice to let it all out.
"I know you won't," I said getting ready to continue, "So when the black outs didn't go away Ray would stay the night at my house almost every night making sure I was okay. Before the start of our sophomore year I realized I was getting better. Only in moments of complete anger or sadness would I get them and all was going well. Ray and I were excelling amazingly in school and after our sophomore year we found out we only need a few more credits and we'd able to graduate early. So we worked our butts off our junior year and it seemed as if we were going to be able to just graduate and live our lives. But we were mistaken. That Spring Break I had a little... incident. I was depressed and stressed out. I couldn't find a college that were impressed by my artistic abilities and the pressure was getting to me. So one night I tried to commit suicide after a bunch of the guys from school saw me at the local library drawing and grabbed them from me. They called them "piece of shit fag drawings" and spit on them. It broke my heart, I know now it shouldn't have but it did. So I went to this... lake sort of thing near Ray's house. It was just around the corner from his and mine so it was the first place I thought of. The lake was deep enough to drown in so those were my plans, to drown myself and escape from this hell. But well..." I paused trying to explain the next part in the calmest way possible. I looked at Delilah who had her eyes shut, as if she didn't want to believe. I was too deep in now to stop so I continued even though I knew it'd be difficult. "I was doing it, I took off my sweater and shirt and I jumped off the bridge into the small lake with nothing but my jeans. I could feel the water filling my lungs, all was going dark and I knew soon I'd feel nothing at all, all the pain would be gone. I shut my eyes thinking it'd be the last time I'd ever do so. And after that I was gone, or so I thought. Everything was dark and silent and I thought that's what death was, or at least purgatory but then I felt a sharp pain in my chest and before I knew it I was being shaken by someone and my eyesight was blurred and I was confused at what was going on. Until I heard the voice. It was Frank. Of all the people to find me it as Frank but I heard someone else too. Ray. Both of them were there screaming. Before I could make out anything else I shut my eyes and woke up later in a bed in a house. Turns out Ray took me to his house and kept me there. I wasn't sure how he'd known that I'd been there. Frank was only 12 years old I think but he apparently had lifted me out of the lake. Ray and Frank never told Mikey or my parents about what happened. Instead Ray kicked some ass and well that was that. No one messed with me for the rest of the year. I got off the anti-depressants realizing they just made matters worse so I would spend night with Ray talking about everything and anything. And that's how I made it through things, talking to my best friend. I'm better now, of course until I found out how madly in love I am with you," I said and I see her face in shock. I start explaining before she takes it the wrong way. "No no no, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just I got jealous the first time you and Frank met so I guess I blacked out... Ray fixed that though and all is well again. But honestly, I have never felt so loved like I do right now. You love me and that's all that will ever matter, ever," I say finishing and once again crying. Before we can utter another word we are lying on the bed in each other's arms crying softly knowing we'd finally found our other half.
I was still processing all that had gone last night. It was a lot to take in knowing I was so in love that I willing told her my past. I hadn't even been that open with Eliza and I had thought she'd be the one. How wrong had I been.
"I'm going to end up marrying you one day," I muttered to myself as I kissed the top of her head.
"Ok, I live with that, no big wedding though," Delilah replied suddenly, surprising me.
"Shit! I didn't know you were awake I uhhh..." I say having my voice trail off nervously. She giggles and pulls herself a bit in my arms.
"It's okay Gerard, no need to be embarrassed, gosh," she said as she placed her lips upon mine.
Just the feel of her lips got me going. I pulled back slowly not wanting to get my hopes up, or her's even.
"You know, when you do that I really lose my composure," I say with a smirk seeing the red fill her cheeks.
"Explain how so Mr. Way?" she says nestling back into my chest that was covered by a thin sweater.
"Well it just does...things to me... please don't make me explain it," I say a bit embarrassed now.
She laughs at me and just nods. We both lie there enjoying the peace, the quiet, the love radiating from one another.
Delilah's POV
Lying there in Gerard's arms, having my head against his chest, hearing his breathing quicken and settle down again, it was just so amazing. I never wanted to move. Ever. I remembered then I had one question to still ask him. I needed to break the silence no matter how great it was.
"Gerard, I have one thing to ask you," I say still lying my head on his chest.
He just replies with a small mumble of question. I knew I'd be in deep shit later for asking him this but I had to.
"What made me stand out? There are millions of girls out there and you say I stand out, why?" I ask getting up on my small bed and looking him in the eye.
"Because you didn't care about the little things. The minute I saw you in the library reading some random book of Tim Burton drawings and then falling flat on your ass and mumbling angrily about it, well it was perfect and hilarious cause you were such a mess, an adorable mess that didn't care if the world knew she was a mess. You caught my eye for sure," he said and suddenly he was removing the sweater that covered his chest.
"Woah Gee, I love you and all but ummm-"
"Be quiet, it's not what you think," he cuts me off laughing. I look at his bare chest and see scars over it. "These scars are from bullies and myself. I was a wreck but Ray helped me get better and those scars," he says pointing to my covered up thighs, "are going to stop and are only going to be scars now, you are never going to do that again, got it?" he said in a demanding, yet surprisingly loving tone.
"Of course they will, I promise," I say inching closer to him. I knew it was a bad idea but it was so tempting to just touch the scars on his chest knowing so many cruel people had done this to him.
Before I knew it he placed my hand on his chest and let me trace the scars slowly. Suddenly, as I was tracing on near his heart, he grabbed my hand.
"Okay time to stop before this leads to something," he said making realize his voice was a bit shaky and his breathing was uneven. I was... I was turning him on. Wow, that was not something I'd ever expect to do, ever. I tried to hold in a small laugh but I couldn't help myself.
"What's so funny?" he asked me as he slipped on his sweater again getting off my bed. I follow his movement and then head to my bedroom door.
"Oh nothing, just I find it funny who shaky you were," I say walking into the living room.
I can feel his footsteps behind me closely and I turn to see his cheeks a light pink. "Oh well, whatever, we should call Ray now, to tell him you're not knocked up or anything," he says playing with his hair again as I sit on the couch and turn on the TV to, yes, Spongebob.
"Okay, fine, I bet he's freaking out," I reply motioning for Gerard to sit next to me as he grabs the phone.
He dials quickly and it's answered instantly. "Hey Ray. No she isn't. Yes we did. GOD NO. She's fine. Yes I swear. God you are like her brother. Okay. We'll be home later. No we won't!" was all Gerard said before he said goodbye laughing.
"So what now?" he asks me as I watch Patrick jump off the cliff.
"Oh uhh I thought we should just have some cereal and watch cartoons? But if y'know, if you're too old-"
"I would love to that, but I've seen this episode a million times, what's next?" he asks already going to my kitchen to search for the cereal and says, "Where's the cereal and do you have Lucky Charms? I fucking love that shit!"
Yeah, I knew he was perfect but this proved my theory completely.
I hope you guys aren't bored with this yet, if so I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep it interesting. Anyways, R&R if you wish.

AUSTIN, TX (KLTV) - A proposal by an Austin Democrat would make sexting a Class C misdemeanor and give judges the authority to sentence parents of offending teenagers.
The legislation was introduced by State Sen. Kirk Watson, Monday, in the Texas Legislature, and is supported by Attorney General Greg Abbott.
If adopted, SB 407 would also require teenage violators under the age of 18 to appear in court and permit judges to order his or her parents to an education program on the dangers of sexting.
Various studies show as many as 20% of teenagers have received or sent a nude or semi-nude photo. The proposal aims to put a stop to sexting by cracking down on parents as well as teenagers engaged in texting or e-mailing explicit photos.

Consider the following form.
<form> <input type="text" name="mytext" /> <button type="submit" name="next">next</button> <button type="submit" name="back">back</button> </form>
In this case, we only want the jQuery validation plugin to do its thing when the 'next' button is clicked. If the back button is clicked we do not care about the validation.
The solution is simple. Add the CSS class 'cancel' to the back button.
<button type="submit" name="back" class="cancel">back</button>
I couldn't find this in the online docs. So hence this post.

Utilizing TrekSta's award-winning NestFIT system to offer a dialed-in fit and responsive performance, the Men's Edict trail running shoe mirrors the natural shape of your foot and incorporates protection and support for uneven, inconsistent terrain.
TrekSta combines unique elements to the design and fit of every shoe they make so your shoes won't inhibit you on or off the trail. TrekSta's NestFIT last is designed to account for every contour of the human foot, eliminating unnecessary gaps and pressure points. This precise, contoured design is also found in the upper, insole, midsole and outsole of the Men's Edict. The highly breathable upper mirrors the contact points of the big toe, the curve of the other four toes and the indentation of the arch and instep. Abrasion-resistant rubber overlays increase durability and a sturdy front cap softens the blow of kicked rocks and roots. A triple-density, contoured EVA insole supports the arch and cushions the foot in key strike zones.
An ultra-lightweight EVA midsole reinforces the support and cushioning of the insole. The Hypergrip outsole provides confident, consistent traction on varying surfaces and its flat profile effectively maintains ground contact. A thin TPU-plate bolsters protection at the arch to lessen the underfoot impact and a unique thread pattern on the outsole keeps dirt and rocks from building up or getting lodged.
The TrekSta Men's Edict trail running shoe is available in men's full and half sizes.
Styles available: Size 11.5 Gray/Yellow
TrekSta part numbers: T611-GRY/YLW-11.5
Striking a balance between weight and adequate on-trail protection, the Men's Sync trail running shoe utilizes TrekSta's award-winning NestFIT system to offer a dialed-in fit and responsive performance in a lightweight, low-drop offering.
The flexible, supportive Salewa Men's Wildfire multi sport trail shoe offers technical performance and lightweight comfort for day hikes, scrambling and approach hikes.
The neutral, well-cushioned Montrail Men's Bajada strikes a nice balance between lightweight construction and on-trail performance. A full-length, toothed outsole ensures traction in varying types of conditions.
A seasoned on-trail performer, the Montrail Men's Mountain Masochist II multi-sport shoe has lightweight responsiveness that is ideal for trail-running and ample enough support and stability for day hiking and fast-packing.

What do you call a blog entry when it is one more than your colleagues are expecting from you? A special edition, I suppose.
In my first entry I mentioned I was preparing for Miami's Corporate Run. That's not a big deal since 17,240 people participated in the Corporate Run this year. However, Royal Caribbean's quest for excellence encompasses the dedication of our runners, and our competition with Carnival plays out on the 5k race course, not just on the water. Although I'm old enough to be a parent of the best runners in the city, I trained HARD for this race for two years. I missed last year because we were introducing Independence of the Seas in the U.K. More significantly, thanks to a bad back, I did virtually nothing at all athletically from the early 1980's until 2006.
Things changed three years ago when we introduced Freedom of the Seas and I lived onboard for 31 nights. During that month I learned what an elliptical (cross-trainer) machine was. Better yet, I learned I could work out on it for 10 minutes on level one without pain. Now I own one and between elliptical workouts and running twice a week I'm back to racing 5k's almost as fast as I did in high school. No wonder the fitness center is my favorite feature on Freedom-class ships and I recommend it to you on your next Freedom-class cruise. The fitness center on those ships is marvelous indeed.
So what happened? We did great. I won the CEO division by quite a bit with a time of 19.35 on a slightly shortened course. The Miami Herald did a nice story on the race, which you can find here.
More importantly, since I like team events, I was one of four who together won the Co-ed city championship. Our amazing women also won the city championship. And our men came in second in the city by only 36 seconds behind you know who. No mercy next year. Since this is a special edition, I'll add that I'm finding blogging to be good fun. As long as you're interested and engaged in this blog I am happy to continue. Thanks!

Berkeley students march to protest public education cuts
Hundreds of students in Berkeley took part in protests Thursday against cuts to public education.
On campus, a Day of Action at UC Berkeley began with teach-outs and protesters wrapping California Hall in caution tape. Many Cal students marched to Oakland to join other protesters at Frank Ogawa Plaza from where a march on Sacramento is set to depart.
Several hundred Berkeley High students left campus at 2:40 pm and converged on Old City Hall on MLK Jr Way. There they listened to performers and speakers. There were chants, including ones calling for money for schools and against wars. Some students were dancing.
The environment: Three art shows that reflect landscape
By Plinio Hernandez
As a life long resident of Berkeley, being conscious about the environment and global justice comes as second nature in my daily life. Biking, gardening, beekeeping, or donating to a much needed cause are all part of what I live and breathe in Berkeley. If you want to visually experience art that reflects these issues, three ongoing art exhibits in Berkeley, all varying in medium and style, exemplify ideas of the poetic and the political by exploring concepts of land usage, abstract landscape, and migrant farm workers.
The first and the most conceptual of these exhibits is "Land, Use" at the Hazel Wolf Gallery, located inside the David Brower Center in downtown Berkeley. For this exhibition, the Brower Center has commissioned the first collaboration between Amy Franceschini (San Francisco, CA) and Fernando García-Dory (Madrid, Spain). Individual projects by these artists are also on display. The exhibit is made up of documentary-style videos, drawings, photographs, silk-screen posters, remnants of a workshop facilitated at the gallery, and writings that both artists use to bring their social practice methodology into the gallery space. … Continue reading »
Skydeck hopes to boost Berkeley-based tech startups
There's a long-standing mismatch between the number of ventures spurred by innovations at the University of California Berkeley and Berkeley Lab and the number of those startups that locate in Berkeley. The Berkeley Skydeck startup accelerator, with 10,000 sq ft at the top of downtown's tallest building, hopes to change that.
The Skydeck is a collaboration between the university's College of Engineering, the Haas School of Business, the Vice Chancellor for Research office, Berkeley Lab, the City of Berkeley, the Downtown Berkeley Association, and the Chamber of Commerce. According to data the university has compiled, there are about 20 companies founded each year from campus and Lab innovations.
"This initiative is a perfect fit for a campus that is deeply engaged with and concerned about real-world challenges," said Graham Fleming, vice chancellor for research. "We have long needed a space to help support the activities of the campus' many outstanding entrepreneurs." … Continue reading »
Baseball dreams: New academy serves Berkeley youth
By Pam Zelnik and Mark Stuhr
Practicing youth baseball and softball in the Berkeley area can be tricky. There are few fields and almost none with lights. During the long dark months from late fall to mid-spring, players and teams are vying for the scarce resource of practice fields, batting cages, or pitching mound time.
Now, thanks to the hard work and the determination of one coach to turn a vision into reality, that has changed.
David "Shiva" Gaskins, a local veteran coach of the extremely well-run Albany Little League, has just realized his dream and opened Wheelhouse Academy of Baseball, an indoor batting cage and training facility for baseball and softball. Wheelhouse, which is on the Albany-El Cerrito border in Richmond, has professional instruction available, a regulation clay pitching mound setup for all distances, and state of the art equipment. … Continue reading »

We EcoGeeks are always on the lookout for ways to economically and only now levitra online in usa safely store carbon dioxide. We want to "put it in a lock box†and never let it out. One promising technology for doing just that, with useful side effects, has been developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
This new process transforms common concrete by treatment with carbon dioxide under high pressure, to make a very strong, nearly impermeable building material that is chemically similar to coral.
The CO2 is pressurized until it is pretty much half gas and half liquid. The process can also make inexpensive building products out of waste materials, including fly ash from coal-burning power plants, alum sludge from water treatment plants and blast furnace slag.
That's right, using trapped ash from coal plants, and the sales cialis CO2 they emit, we can create an almost indestructible lightweight building material. Lordy that's cool.
The patented process may lead to only here cialis online pharmacy no prescription new building materials, consumer goods, auto parts and other products. According to the website supramics.com, the process creates recyclable materials that will be competitive with metals, plastics and wood products.
Los Alamos demonstrated the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide with two chunks of bonded fly ash, a waste product from coal-burning power plants. Set in a pan of branded cialis water, the untreated sample quickly crumbles and dissolves. The treated sample, however, remains impervious to the water. Treated fly ash could make a strong, lightweight and economically attractive material for wall board, flooring and buy viagra low price other construction products.
The process also converts much of the CO2 into stable carbonate minerals. Each concrete block treated with supercritical C02 can permanently store over a pound of carbon dioxide.

The Meridian School District property tax referendum failed at the polls Tuesday.
The referendum was just one solution to help relieve some of the district's $2 million budget deficit. Because the property tax increase did not pass, more staff positions are in jeopardy and programs like junior high sports face the chopping block.
Cuts of up to $1 million were already decided on this year and will take effect during the next school year. The board will meet Thursday to decide where to make additional cuts for the next year.
Meridian Interim Superintendent Jim Brown said he hopes to bring the referendum up for another vote next year.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
When she returned from Europe, Sabina received yet another gift from her fiancé: a black BMW station wagon. With its new VIN number, Diana Schiller's Beemer now was street-legal. Sabina was thrilled, until the rainy day when she realized she couldn't operate the wiper blade on the rear window. A sushi restaurant was nearby, and she pulled in. She could sip on some sake, she figured, while she leafed through the operator's manual. But the first thing she saw when she opened the booklet was the name "Marc Schiller" listed as owner. Flustered, she drank more sake. This was unexpected, unwelcome information. She confronted Lugo later that night. Yeah, he said, the BMW used to belong to Schiller.
Meanwhile Du Bois's wife and their children began to notice bulky strangers sitting in cars, watching their Miami Shores house. You didn't have to be Sherlock Holmes, or even Watson, to find Du Bois at his Shores residence; he was listed in the phone book. But when a phone-company security supervisor alerted him that someone was trying to gain access to his records for calls to South America, he really began to worry. Did the gang think he could lead them to Schiller? He knew they were capable of anything if they wanted Schiller badly enough. And he knew they'd spent $12,000 at The Spy Shop not long ago. If they'd bought eavesdropping and surveillance equipment, were they using it on his family?
Negotiations for the return of Schiller's $1.26 million had gone nowhere; he still hadn't seen a dime. Du Bois had to admit his client was right: Lugo and Delgado never planned to return the money. The meetings and the faxes sent through Mese's office had been a stall. Now it was time to go to the police. He called Schiller first. Then he called John Mese and told him the deal was off.
Du Bois called Metro-Dade homicide Capt. Al Harper, one of his Miami Shores acquaintances and a 27-year veteran of the police department. After Harper heard the horrific story, he called Metro's elite Strategic Investigations Division. SID conducted all major investigations involving fraud, drug trafficking, contract killings, criminal conspiracy, and organized crime. SID agreed to review the case.
Du Bois's next contact was with SID Det. Kevin Long. The private investigator didn't launch right into the details; he wanted first to establish Schiller as a credible victim. Would SID prepare a polygraph for his client? As a polygraph examiner since 1974, Du Bois knew this would be the most effective demonstration that Schiller's weird, brutal story was true.
Sure, Long said, and then sat back to listen as Du Bois went over the case and what he knew of the suspects. If Schiller agreed to come back to Miami, Long said, he would see him and take the complaint. No problem, said Du Bois, but Schiller was afraid for his life and wanted to make the trip as brief as possible. They set up a three-day interview window: April 18 to 20, 1995.
On Tuesday morning, April 18, Schiller flew into Miami from Colombia and checked into the Miami International Airport Hotel under an assumed name. He brought along a Colombian relative for protection, and walked straight from the airplane to Concourse E, where the hotel is located. That afternoon Du Bois met his client for the first time. The two men shook hands, and Du Bois noted that Schiller was thin but otherwise a physically unremarkable man, except for a deep burgundy notch on his nose, a souvenir of the duct tape that had been wrapped so tightly around his head during his captivity. Schiller was invigorated by the decision to go to the police. But he also was wary, afraid he might die in Miami.
At the SID office, they were met by Sgt. Gary Porterfield, who asked Schiller to wait outside while he talked to Du Bois in his office. Du Bois handed over a copy of the case file, then began the narrative of his investigation. As Porterfield took notes, Du Bois outlined the history: Marc Schiller disappeared on the afternoon of November 14, 1994. During his captivity, he signed over everything he owned to individuals connected with Sun Gym. On December 15 he reappeared, broken, in the emergency room at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Du Bois had information on the Sun Gym members: Daniel Lugo, Adrian Doorbal, Jorge Delgado; and on Sun Gym's owner, John Mese. Others were involved as well. They'd be easy to track down and question. He also gave Porterfield a twenty-page memo and canceled checks, deed transfers, accident reports, and hospital records. And he had a copy of Lugo's federal rap sheet and divorce documents.
An hour later Porterfield summoned Schiller to provide a statement. He too spent an hour with the sergeant. Porterfield promised to spend the next day investigating the case. They planned to polygraph Schiller on Thursday. The next day, however, Porterfield called with bad news. There were scheduling difficulties. Would Schiller stay over until Friday morning for the polygraph? Schiller canceled his flight and made a new reservation for Friday afternoon.
On Friday Du Bois and Schiller arrived at SID for the polygraph test. Instead Porterfield met them with more bad news: SID wasn't going to take the case after all; they'd decided to refer it to the robbery bureau.

Couldn't agree with this article more. The extra effort combined with horrible tuning on blizzards part (10-man is far easier than 25-man for both normal and heroic modes) really put an end to 25-man raiding.
LFR was just the final nail in the coffin - why bother putting in any effort trying to organize people when they can see the same content in LFR for no effort? Especially with all gear being reset every patch. There is no sense of progressing your character forward anymore, just time on the treadmill.
why hop on a treadmill when you can hop on a bike going downhill and see the sights along the way without even peddling?
I really miss separate lockouts for 10 and 25 mans, being able to do a raid with my guild on 10 man and then do a couple of bosses on a guild based 25 man with a pug really helped flexibility and just helped people feel overall more rewarded for playing.
I disagree. The sense of progression these days is far greater than it was during TBC. I was part of a guild that never got past Karazhan, as every time we got someone geared up to our level they'd jump ship to a "better" guild, forcing us to have to recruit and gear up another player who'd then jump ship.
At least in Wrath and post-4.3 Cataclysm, players don't have to be running on the treadmill from the very beginning to stand a chance of doing more than just hearing about 90% of the expansion's bosses.

I envy those that can leap from their cozy bed in the morning. Just about everyday of my life it's been a drag to get out of bed, and was only made worse by the cold that seeped into my bedroom at night during the winter months.
This coffee mug, called the Morning Mug, is an almost perfect reflection of my mood in the early hours of the day. And much like the mug, which changes from a sleepy face to a smiling one, I don't wake up until I'm pumped full of caffeine (actually food in my case, but point made). To activate this mugs mood changing facade just add hot water, hot coffee, hot tea, or any hot liquid of your choosing. Just be careful, and make sure to hand wash the Morning Mug. A dishwasher's high heat could damage its temperate sensitive face.
You can buy the Morning Mug from Amazon for about $19 with free shipping.
