This article is part of the Awful Energy Drink and Food Reviews series.
Lowtax: "Hey Andrew 'Garbage Day' Miller!"
Garbage Day: "Yes, Rich 'Lowtax' Kyanka?"
Lowtax: "I've got a fantastic idea! Let's spend embarrassing amounts of money buying cans of liquid that taste like caustic cough syrup-flavored paint thinner! Then we can drink them and consequently forever lose our ability to produce children! Then we can write about it! On the INTERNET!"
Garbage Day: "That is a wonderful idea!"
Lowtax: "It is fun to be retarded!"
Garbage Day: Thrive claims to be "unlike those other drinks that taste heavy and oversweetened, or have a bitter aftertaste." I suppose this claim is technically true, since it tastes light and acidic, with a pungent aftertaste capable of disintegrating aluminum siding. Take that, you nefarious "other drinks!" I've always believed there's nothing quite more enchanting or erotic than a tribe of naked Oompa-Loompas bathing in molten, carbonated Nerds, and now Thrive can cram that experience right down your stupid fat throat. Thrive: providing you, the consumer, with FDA-approved levels of opaque, sugary, lava chemicals skimmed from the bathtub since whenever the engineers flipped the switch in the swill factory.
Lowtax: As a taste of things to come (pun intended), the genius brain wizards at Thrive and Other Toxic Chemicals Inc. decided to stamp the phrase "Can You Handle It?" across their drink. Now think about that phrase for a moment: they're admitting most people find it difficult to consume their product. I assume this trademark beat out "You're a Pussy and You Can't Drink This Because You're Too Busy Sucking Another Man's Dick," and "See If Drinking This is More Enjoyable Than Having Your Entire Neck Exploded." In Thrive's case, the "it" undoubtedly refers to their drink's overwhelming assault of artificial pineapple, which inhabits the Periodic Table somewhere between "earwax" and "the shit they dump on movie theater carpets to cover up the smell of drunk teenager puke and semen."
Thrive Low-Carb
Garbage Day: When first swallowed, Thrive Low-Carb seems inoffensive enough, but soon it surges up your throat and begins dissolving your tongue, instantly reminding you that you've consumed some vile sugar substitute invented by those lizard aliens from "V." It's like chugging an oddly saccharine batch of liquid explosives, then having someone trigger the remote detonator from inside your colon.
Lowtax: My principle complaint with Thrive wasn't its revolting taste, retarded design, or expensive price. Nope, my major issue was with all them stupid carbohydrates sittin' around and acting like assholes. When I was in high school, my cross country coach would repeatedly stress the importance of consuming carbohydrates the night before a race, primarily through pasta and bread. I suppose Thrive Low-Carb was created to appease all the people afraid of accidentally drinking liquefied ravioli and then getting tricked into running a marathon, both of which would be more appealing than drinking any version of Thrive.
Are you concerned that you may be a character trapped in a Tom Waits song? Be smart and learn the warning signs before it's too late. Also, it's too late. It has always been too late.
I'm haunted by a recurring vision of a skeleton flipping me off. To avoid seeing this terrifying image in bumper sticker form, I pay someone with a blank bumper to drive in front of me at all times.
Eyeball-obsessed one-eyed killer and goblin belcher goes on an eye-gouging spree; police are baffled
The Goons expose inappropriate product placement in sci-fi films, using images they made themselves!
Who can forget the prisoner of war pie eating contest escape sequence?
The Something Awful front page news tackles anything both off and on the Internet. Mostly "on" though, as we're all incredible nerds.
B-vitamins! Taurine! Ginseng! L-Carnitine! Guarana! Caffeine! Inositol! Revolting, horrendous acidic bile that burns through your throat while providing enough synthetic "energy" to fry your synapses! These are the Something Awful energy drink (and energy bars) reviews!

Im wondering if there will be a difference with shelf life between a sprayed bottle or a brand new unsprayed bottle.
Last edited by StayNFresh; 21st August 2014 at 12:42 AM.
Don't see any difference. As long as it is stored properly.
I would think not.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
So is it rumors when one tells me that once its sprayed, i bring oxygen into the bottle and it can start to oxidize?
if you buy the cheapest cologne in the world it will still be hard to make it bad. if you keep it outside, in direct sunlight or inside a very hot room it can be bad. keep it in a drawer or the box it came with if it doesnt have a lid. normal room tempeture is fine "around the 70s or 20's in celsius.
think about it as food. if you keep food outside in the hot sun it will get bad. if you keep it in the fridge it will not. the only difference is that colognes dont really have any date to expire.

"Spray mechanisms are by the very nature of their construction air proof. If air is going to get into your bottle, it won't be from the spray mechanism but from the crimped seal where the metal edge of the bottle meets the glass, or, these days, with more modern bottles, where the plastic sleeve that fits over the top of the bottle meets the glass."
Exposing fragrances to light will do more harm than anything else in the long term. For splash bottles that also includes exposing them to oxygen, which will also degrade them fairly rapidly. The average fragrance kept consistently in the dark and in cool temperatures (preferably mid- 50's F) will most likely be good for for fifty years or more.

TMZ has learned the secret identities of THREE new celebrity contestants on the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars" -- most interesting ... Heather Locklear's ex and "Melrose Place" actor Jack Wagner. You'll recall Jack and Heather got into an epic fight in December that triggered a 911 call.
Sources connected with the production tell TMZ, Sherri Shepherd from "The View" will also be competing in the upcoming season ... which kicks off next month.
As for the third -- that would be "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert, who was rumored to be on last season ... but that deal fell through.
We shot Melissa on her way into practice today at an L.A. dance studio (below) -- she was pretty tight-lipped.
I would love to see some of my stars on Days of our Lives
dance such as Beau, Hope and Maggie. they are such good actors and actresses, I feel they need to be known to the public that don't know them or watch the show. even Stephano would be great. Thanks Fern
I thought ABC employees couldnot participate. Did the rules change? Sherri Shepherd is on the "VIEW".
Well I think there is a little sneaky thing going on behind closed doors.Some where in my heart I thought Sherry Shepard was being way to postive about things.If you back and listen to a couple of her conversations to the media look into her eyes and you can see the distrust. Why do people have to always think they need to up everyone. Come on Sherry why do you have to spoil things for everyone.This is just for plain entertainment.Why can't you just be real like the others.Your mouth is always going and you look so guilty and came out with a bang that looked like I' been dancing for weeks. I will not be voting for you at all.You are guilting of cheating.People look at her and how she took over many conversations to the media. Being the teacher that I am I can tell when someone is lying and or cheating.How disappointing you are and the season hasn't even begun.Shame on you for thinking you had to cheat. What kind of message are you sending to your son and husband?There will no votes from me this season. Sorry,I don't for cheaters.

Apple's iPhone 3GS blunts Palm Pre impact, challenges BlackBerryA new consumer survey shows smartphone ownership is still growing rapidly, future demand is strong, and that Apple's iPhone 3GS has made a big impact since its launch, overshadowing the Palm Pre and approaching RIM's BlackBerry.
The survey of 4,255 users was conduced by ChangeWave Research last month to provide a look at how the launch of the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre have affected the US smartphone market.
Smartphone ownership among those surveyed is now up to 39%, two points higher than the previous quarter and nearly double the level of just two years ago.
Future demand is also healthy, with 11.6% saying they plan to buy a new smartphone in the next 90s days. That's down 3 points from June when users were anticipating the launch of the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre, but ChangeWave says its "still one of the highest percentages ever recorded" in the company's regular surveys.
In terms of current market share, RIM's BlackBerry phones remain in the lead with 40% ownership, but that's off a point from the previous quarter and is the lowest level for RIM in the last two years.
Apple gained 5 points this quarter to reach 30% ownership; ChangeWave observed "for the first time it has also placed them within striking distance of the number one spot in the consumer market."
ChangeWave also notes that "36% of those who plan to purchase a smart phone in the next 90 days say they'll get an iPhone," and that Apple's iPhone satisfaction ranking (74%) is vastly ahead those users assigned to makers of other smartphones, which ranged from Sony Ericsson at 17% to RIM at 43%.
Palm's position remains unchanged at 7%, but the company notes that "this is the first survey in nearly two years where their share hasnt fallen and thats a clearly encouraging sign." Just three years ago, Palm had the top spot in smartphones with 36%.
Additional details published by ChangeWave tracking future smartphone demand and satisfaction ratings can be found in the research group's full report.

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

Rutgers University New Brunswick Faculty Council is throwing Condoleezza Rice under a bus. They approved a resolution urging the university's Board of Governors to rescind its invitation for Rice to speak at the commencement.
According to the Star Ledger, the Board of Governors had voted last month to award a honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Condoleezza Rice. She will be paid $35,000 for delivering the commencement address.
So, why do they want her out? The faculty council cited her war record and her misleading the public about the Iraq war during her tenure in the George W. Bush Administration.
"Condoleezza Rice … played a prominent role in (the Bush) administration's effort to mislead the American people about the presence of weapons of mass destruction," according to the resolution. And she "at the very least condoned the Bush administration's policy of 'enhanced interrogation techniques' such as waterboarding," it said.
"A Commencement speaker… should embody moral authority and exemplary citizenship," it continued, and "an honorary Doctor of Laws degree should not honor someone who participated in a political effort to circumvent the law." Source: Star-Ledger

I'm not belittling the time or effort put in by the Exeter crew. Far from it.
I'm just pointing out the tremendous advantage NV/P2 has in having so many people with real industry credentials and experience working on it. They also have a big advantage in resources, particularly in the FX department having have NEO to do their CG work.
Exeter is being done in homes and garages by people who are learning as they go, and don't have the advantage of deep pockets backers (resources, not necessarily cash) to help them along.
It makes Exeter's end result all the more impressive.

The update does not entirely fix the flaw that makes the spread possible, but it changes settings in Windows operating systems to disable hackers' ability to deliver malicious code with it.
However, a report puiblished Friday at InternetWeek.com indicates that the security hole isn't just a Microsoft glitch. According to that article, Secunia, the company that reported the browser problem on Wednesday, on Friday expanded its report to cover all browsers with frames capability. [Concerned readers will find a self-test link at the latter site. — Eds.]
The security measure came Friday in response to last week's discovery of a computer virus designed to steal valuable information like passwords. Though its outbreak was mild, security experts said the technique for spreading it was novel and could be used to send spam or launch broad attacks to cripple the Internet.
In that expliot, a hacker would use frames to covertly manipulate data on different domains. This isn't a bug per se but a feature designers previously requested for browsing convenience.
Hackers had converted hundreds and possibly thousands of Web sites into virus transmitters by first hiding malicious code using a vulnerability with Microsoft's software for operating Web sites. A fix for it had been issued in April but was not universally applied.
Two other flaws in Microsoft products allowed hackers to direct Internet Explorer browsers to automatically run the virus when visiting an infected site.
Though one of those flaws remains unfixed, Friday's setting changes thwart any attack by prohibiting a Web application from writing files — such as the virus code — onto users' computers.
The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team urged computer users to install the update, saying it would greatly increase protection. But the advisory warned other types of attack remain possible.
Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft, said the company still was working on a comprehensive patch to fix vulnerabilities with Internet Explorer, but the settings change should protect users from the immediate threat.
The software update covers Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000, and Microsoft was working on ones for older systems.
The update will also be included with a major Windows XP upgrade, called Service Pack 2, later this summer. Toulouse said the Service Pack will include additional protections.
After installing Friday's update, users should be able to lower their security settings from the "high" one initially recommended as a stopgap, he said.
Russ Cooper, a senior researcher at TruSecure, welcomed Friday's update, but said it should have come sooner than a week.
"It would have taken a couple of hours to put it together as a package, and (the testing) process can take a day or two," Cooper said.
But Toulouse said that given the broad user base for Windows and Internet Explorer, even a problem affecting less than 1% of users potentially hurts millions of customers.
He said the settings could potentially affect legitimate applications used internally by Web developers and corporate networks, and special instructions were available to address those cases.
The update will be automatically installed if computers are set to receive it. It is also available at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
Microsoft shares fell 6 cents to close at $28.57 Friday on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
More information is available at Microsoft's site.

San Francisco, CA United States
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
Move over Mercator. When Google Earth debuted in 2005, it was deemed the map of the 21st century. But the San Francisco office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was not content with an aerial photographic map, and has independently spent two years developing its own 3D digital model of the city by the Bay, complete with embedded metadata. "This is not just a dumb model," said Craig Hodgetts. "It really is a tool."
The model records lot numbers, zoning restrictions, and other variables that SOM can use to create specific views to analyze issues like environmental conditions and their effect on existing and potential infrastructure. What would happen if sea levels were to rise? And do shadows on a site prevent it from being used as a public space as defined by San Francisco city code?
The metadata is periodically checked for accuracy by two individuals in SOM's Digital Design Group and linked to outside resources such as the city assessor's office. The model is being used by the city planning department to visualize potential zoning changes and development proposals. "It seems like this is the future of all cities," said John Ronan. "It forces architects to think about their work on different levels, rather than just model form or energy." Other SOM offices have created partial city models, but for now, this remains the most comprehensive.

Wyoming Governor Matt Mead has chosen Pete Michael to be Wyoming's new Attorney General.
Michael is viewed as an expert in water law and has worked in the attorney general's office for seven years. He says there is a lot of legal activity taking place in Wyoming and he's excited to lead that effort.
Gov. Matt Mead has named Peter Michael to serve as interim Wyoming Attorney General.
Michael replaces former AG Greg Phillips, who was sworn in on Monday as a judge on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Michael had served as deputy attorney general for Phillips.
Mead says Michael is an excellent attorney. Mead says he's confident Michael will lead the Attorney General's Office in a steady and capable manner until he can find a permanent replacement for Phillips.
Wyoming's Attorney General has a new job. Greg Phillips was unanimously confirmed by the U-S Senate to serve on the U-S Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
Phillips, a Democrat, was strongly supported by both of Wyoming's Republican U-S Senators. Senator Mike Enzi used to serve with Phillips in the Wyoming legislature and says Phillips is highly qualified and well thought of.
Wyoming Attorney General Greg Phillips appeared before a U-S Senate committee Tuesday to discuss his nomination to the tenth circuit court of appeals.
Phillips, a Democrat, was nominated by President Barack Obama. During his confirmation hearing, U-S Senator Mike Enzi said that Phillips is well thought of.

SDCC: Sony's Beat Sketch is the new Mario Paint
So maybe it isn't exactly Mario Paint, but it sure seemed that way. The upcoming PlayStation Move title, previously known as Sing and Draw, allows us to turn our TV into a glorified version of MSpaint, complete with drum loops and audio samples to keep you entertained.
I had a chance to try it out and to be honest, I wasn't very impressed with anything but the control itself. The accuracy of the wand was dead on and makes for an impressive tech demo -- however, the poorly lit room did nothing to help the Eye Toy in terms of video quality, and the current build of the game lacks many of the features that are currently in the works. In hindsight, it failed to keep my interest, but I could easily see how little kids might enjoy playing with it.
Features such as the use of multiple wands, video recording and more are currently being considered, however there was no word on if the features will be ready by the time Tokyo Game Show rolls around. The game is currently set to launch with PlayStation Move in the fall, and will be receiving a retail release in Japan, but as it stands, it'll likely be a PSN exclusive here in the US. Hopefully we'll be able see more at Toyko Game Show, or at Gamescom later this year.

Despite higher property values, West Palm Beach must winnow $4 million budget gap for 2014-2015
- 2:58 pm Monday, July 7th, 2014 by Eliot Kleinberg
Mayor Jeri Muoio has said her goal for West Palm Beach for the coming budget year is to stand firm on the city's tax rate as well as other fees. She's said she also wants to replenish reserves, address much-needed capital improvements and give city employees 2 percent pay increases, their first raises in seven years.
Before she can do that, the city must eliminate a $4 million gap in what it expects to bring in and the total projected expenditures based on its departments' requests for 2014-2015.
City commissioners Monday locked themselves out of raising the tax rates, voting to set a [More]
Muoio: WPB property hike no time for spending spree

Updated projections released Wednesday by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser show a 6.306 percent increase for West Palm Beach, even better than the 4.42 percent estimate released last month.
The figure "certainly shows the uptick in the value of the properties in the city, but it doesn't get us out of our tight budget," West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio said Wednesday at her weekly news briefing.
She said the city plans by this summer's budget vote to reduce a income-spending gap in the 2014-2015 now at around $1.5 million. It also would pay back about $2.5 million it borrowed from [More]

BSDTalk interview with Jeremy White, Codeweavers
This is an interview with Jeremy White, Founder of CodeWeavers. The subject of the talk is the recent availability of an experimental build of Crossover Games for BSD.
new BSD forum: daemonforums
One of our regular blog readers brought a new BSD related forum to my attention: daemonforums.org
It's a new website without much activity yet, but what I'm curious about is, why create yet another BSD related forum? How is this one different from BSD Forums , BSD Support or BSD Nexus etc?
It would have been nice if the creator(s) explained why they've started yet another forum or what niche they're aiming at.
Personally, I think we should co-operate more, recommend and improve what's available already in the BSD world (be it operating systems, websites or forums – unless strong and valid reasons are there, obviously). United we're stronger.
Thanks to kace – gotbsd.net for reporting this.

FreeBSD for Web and E-Mail Servers
I'm not touting FreeBSD over Linux. Within the Unix-like community, and even within the Linux world, it's easy to find heated arguments over the various versions of operating systems. It seems that no matter what software or computer system some people use, they will fight to the death to prove theirs is the best. I can only tell you that FreeBSD works well for us. For years, ComputorEdge.com ran well on a Linux box. The only reason that we didn't continue was concerns for the age of the hardware. When we brought in new servers, we installed FreeBSD. Once Apache—the same Web server we used on the Linux computer—was installed, the movement of the site to the new machine was fairly simple.
I had to learn to use FreeBSD, but now I've developed a certain comfort level. I could go to a Linux computer and do many of the same things I do now, but there are just enough differences for it to feel foreign to me. I'm sure that this is true to some extent even when moving between versions of Linux.
The Linux world is taking many more steps toward making the individual user more comfortable with using it as a replacement for Windows. If I were looking to do that, then I would probably start with Linux. However, if your primary objective is to build a server—for the Web, e-mail, or another intensive application—it would be difficult to go wrong with FreeBSD. More…
pfSniffer? A non-firewall use for pfSense
Several years ago my company looked into getting Distributed Sniffer Appliances, made by Network General. These are devices that attach to an Ethernet segment (at a branch office) and allow you to remotely connect and pull traces. Ideally, we would have loved to have these in each remote location so that we could more easily troubleshoot problems that seemed to crop up regularly. They looks like very nice appliances, but Network General wanted an arm and a leg for each one, so we passed.
We recently had a need for this sort of thing and I had a great idea. Many months ago, I noticed that pfSense had added a very nifty feature called Packet Capture. Essentially, the pfSense WebGUI has an interface to tcpdump, allowing you to put in some simple filter criteria (source/destination IP Address) and have a trace executed on a particular interface. This is a really nice feature for troubleshooting your firewall, but I thought that this could be used to make a distributed "pfSniffer". More…

New PC-BSD PBI Builder released
The PBI builder is a powerful command-line script system, which can be used to convert a FreeBSD port into a PBI file. The configuration for this process is stored as a module, which can then be used to rebuild the PBI automatically. Developers can then submit these finished modules to PC-BSD Software, where they will be added to a build server, which rebuilds the PBI every time the underlying port is updated. More…

I'm pretty optimistic that she'll win slams because of players like Sunshine picking up Premier Mandatory titles.
j/k. I think Maria still has the heart, the desire and of course the game to win a few slams, especially when she a) is an underdog (strangely, she's not doing well as a favorite) and b) gets a nice draw... No Serena, Venus, Kim, Caro or Henin until the semis, please.

I made this shirt for my father as a birthday present! He never wears fancy clothing so I thought this would be a funny take on a T Shirt for him.
I use Burdastyle's Pete for this, it was really easy to make though I do think I'll make a few alterations next time I make this pattern. I decided to finish the neckline using a Thread's tutorial rather than the pattern's suggestion of using ribbing.
For more information on the project a little too much rambling, you can check out my "blog post:http://dinosaurgirlfashion.blogspot.co.il/2013/01/black-tie-event-t-shirt.html

Official Vatican text of pope's speech
Following is the official English language translation provided by the Vatican of Pope Francis' Easter Sunday message, delivered in Italian from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
The Associated Press
Following is the official English language translation provided by the Vatican of Pope Francis' Easter Sunday message, delivered in Italian from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
Dear brothers and sisters in Rome and throughout the world, Happy Easter! Happy Easter!
What a joy it is for me to announce this message: Christ is risen! I would like it to go out to every house and every family, especially where the suffering is greatest, in hospitals, in prisons.
Most of all, I would like it to enter every heart, for it is there that God wants to sow this Good News: Jesus is risen, there is hope for you, you are no longer in the power of sin, of evil! Love has triumphed, mercy has been victorious! The mercy of God always triumphs!
We too, like the women who were Jesus' disciples, who went to the tomb and found it empty, may wonder what this event means (cf. Lk 24:4). What does it mean that Jesus is risen? It means that the love of God is stronger than evil and death itself; it means that the love of God can transform our lives and let those desert places in our hearts bloom. The love God can do this!
This same love for which the Son of God became man and followed the way of humility and self-giving to the very end, down to hell - to the abyss of separation from God - this same merciful love has flooded with light the dead body of Jesus, has transfigured it, has made it pass into eternal life. Jesus did not return to his former life, to earthly life, but entered into the glorious life of God and he entered there with our humanity, opening us to a future of hope.
This is what Easter is: it is the exodus, the passage of human beings from slavery to sin and evil to the freedom of love and goodness. Because God is life, life alone, and we are his glory: the living man (cf. Irenaeus, Adversus Haereses, 4,20,5-7).
Dear brothers and sisters, Christ died and rose once for all, and for everyone, but the power of the Resurrection, this passover from slavery to evil to the freedom of goodness, must be accomplished in every age, in our concrete existence, in our everyday lives. How many deserts, even today, do human beings need to cross! Above all, the desert within, when we have no love for God or neighbour, when we fail to realize that we are guardians of all that the Creator has given us and continues to give us. God's mercy can make even the driest land become a garden, can restore life to dry bones (cf. Ez 37:1-14).
So this is the invitation which I address to everyone: Let us accept the grace of Christ's Resurrection! Let us be renewed by God's mercy, let us be loved by Jesus, let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives too; and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.
And so we ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him we implore peace for all the world.
Peace for the Middle East, and particularly between Israelis and Palestinians, who struggle to find the road of agreement, that they may willingly and courageously resume negotiations to end a conflict that has lasted all too long. Peace in Iraq, that every act of violence may end, and above all for dear Syria, for its people torn by conflict and for the many refugees who await help and comfort. How much blood has been shed! And how much suffering must there still be before a political solution to the crisis will be found?
Peace for Africa, still the scene of violent conflicts. In Mali, may unity and stability be restored; in Nigeria, where attacks sadly continue, gravely threatening the lives of many innocent people, and where great numbers of persons, including children, are held hostage by terrorist groups. Peace in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in the Central African Republic, where many have been forced to leave their homes and continue to live in fear.
Peace in Asia, above all on the Korean peninsula: may disagreements be overcome and a renewed spirit of reconciliation grow.
Peace in the whole world, still divided by greed looking for easy gain, wounded by the selfishness which threatens human life and the family, selfishness that continues in human trafficking, the most extensive form of slavery in this twenty-first century; human trafficking is the most extensive form of slavery in this twenty-first century! Peace to the whole world, torn apart by violence linked to drug trafficking and by the iniquitous exploitation of natural resources! Peace to this our Earth! Made the risen Jesus bring comfort to the victims of natural disasters and make us responsible guardians of creation.
Dear brothers and sisters, to all of you who are listening to me, from Rome and from all over of the world, I address the invitation of the Psalm: "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever. Let Israel say: `His steadfast love endures for ever'" (Ps 117:1-2).
Dear Brothers and Sisters, to you who have come from all over the world to this Square at the heart of Christianity, and to you linked by modern technology, I repeat my greeting: Happy Easter!
Bear in your families and in your countries the message of joy, hope and peace which every year, on this day, is powerfully renewed.
May the risen Lord, the conqueror of sin and death, be a support to you all, especially to the weakest and neediest. Thank you for your presence and for the witness of your faith. A thought and a special thank-you for the beautiful flowers, which come from the Netherlands. To all of you I affectionately say again: may the risen Christ guide all of you and the whole of humanity on the paths of justice, love and peace.

By the way, I missed your comment in my this blog.
Thank you! :)
Dear teacher Tara,
I am really glad to see my that grade in writing skills by you. I wonder, how I am falling in love with each skills of English day by day. And, the credit for that goes to MyEC. I am so thankful to MyEC and their teachers for that. :)
The uses of "everyday" and "every day" is really tricky one. :) Thank you for the tip.
My examples are:
I am an active member of MyEC. I try to log in to MyEC every day. I am planning to fix twenty to thirty minuets every day for MyEC in my everyday schedule.
Every day we see new changes in technology, which is good for our everyday life.
My dear inventors, I am so happy to see you making my new inventions everyday every day.
Regarding your comment about remembering the spelling of separate. There was a cute story in my elementary school reading book about a girl (long ago in pioneer days) getting ready for a spelling bee. One of her parents or grandparents coached her and told about how they had lost their spelling bee with the word separate because of a rat.
The girl remembered that there is a rat and when she was given that word she won.
I just remembered from that day on that there is a rat in separate. If you remember there is a rat, you will always spell it correctly. Otherwise I would probably spell it wrong because of the pronunciation.
Incidentally, I was the top speller in my school, but I lost my spelling bee at the end because I spelled doctor when they wanted the abbreviation, Dr. instead of doctor. The jerk wouldn't let me spell the abbreviation when he told me I was wrong. The thing was poorly administered and I knew every word, just misunderstood what was being asked. We had studied both forms of doctor and the person reading out the words didn't distinguish when he asked. The first lesson for me about how the world is not always fair. :)

Wimbush, who is 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, has Penn State, Ohio State, Miami and Virginia Tech high on his list, and hopes to make a decision prior to the summer.
There will also be a number of the region's best 2016 quarterback prospects, including Newtown (Pa.) Council Rock North's Brandon McIlwain, who holds double digits offers, including Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, UCLA and Virginia.
There are a number of intriguing quarterbacks in the class ready to compete beyond Wimbush, including four-star Kai Locksley of Baltimore Gilman School. Locksley recently named a Top 10 of Auburn, Miami, Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Florida State, Ole Miss, Maryland, Baylor and Virginia Tech.
Another target to watch is Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga's Nick Johns. He is being recruited hard by Virginia and Maryland, and both made him a priority in the class.
Montclair (N.J.) High's Elijah Robinson is slated to attend, and he holds a handful of offers, including ones from Rutgers, Nebraska and Virginia, but schools are also looking at him as a defensive back.
A few other quarterebacks looking to make a name for themselves are Wallington (N.J.) High's Ryan Adzima, Waldorf (Md.) North Point's Brandon Battle, Skillman (N.J.) Montgomery's Chris Chugunov, Bellmore (N.Y.) Mepham's Tyler Davis, Cheshire (Conn.) Academy's Patrick Kehoe and Arlington (Va.) Wakefield's Riley Wilson and Leesburg (Va.) Loudoun Country's Takwan Crews-Taylor.
There is a lot of strength in the 2016 class in the field, and it goes beyond McIlwain.
Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic's Jarrett Guarantano, who was strong at the event last season, holds offers from Clemson, Rutgers, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Nebraska.
Also, Potomac (Md.) The Bullis School's Dwayne Haskins has offers from SMU, Arizona State, Utah and Nebraska.
Four-star Avery McCall of Dillon (S.C.) High has a big arm to go with his athleticism. He holds offers from Clemson, LSU, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Also, Ashburn (Va.) Stone Bridge's Joe Thompson will be in attendance.
In the 2017 class, Gilman quarterback Kasim Hill is slated to compete.
Also, class of 2018 quarterback Tyler DeSue of Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes will be in attendance. He already holds a Virginia offer.
