Gnome and Gtk+ Moving Towards Version 3.0
The developers of the Gnome desktop environment have denied the necessity of Gnome version 3.0, but now things are happening. Initial plans for a 3.0 release were revealed at the Gnome developer conference, Guadec, along with details of Gtk+ 3.0.
Just a few months ago the status quo was that development work on Gnome 2.x would continue, and that there was no need for Gnome 3.0, but now things have changed. At the Gnome developer conference, Guadec, which is currently taking place in Istanbul, Turkey, Gtk+ developer Kristian Rietveld revealed plans for a 3.0 release of the GUI toolkit. Disclosed goals include bug fixes and the removal of obsolete code sections. Visuals, such as alpha transparency and graphical effects follow on the roadmap. The Gnome project announced version 3.0 of the desktop environment after this talk.
But some time will pass before Gnome 3.0 and Gtk+ 3.0 see the light of day: the developers anticipate a release date in about 12 months from now. The new version will be downwardly compatible for the most part. Despite this, some incompatibility is likely after changes to the Gtk+ library APIs and ABIs. For more details of the Gtk+-3.0 plans, check out a mail posted by Rietveld on the Gnome developer mailing list.

Cancer risk ... UV lamps used in nail salons.
UV lamps commonly used in nail salons are akin to ''mini tanning beds'' and may pose a skin cancer risk, says one of Australia's leading melanoma researchers.
Graham Mann, professor in medicine at the University of Sydney and a researcher at the Westmead Millennium Institute and Melanoma Institute Australia, said the lamps had the same type of long-wave ultraviolet radiation which promoted tanning.
He described the UV lamps as ''mini tanning beds''. Tanning beds were recently banned by the NSW government.
Professor Mann, the lead author of a major study last year into melanoma and tanning beds, said more research into the nail lamps was required to assess the risk.
''I suspect it is a concern,'' he said. ''It's hard to know exactly how much extra risk it would produce but I am sure it produces some. There's not been much research done to link up the use of these nail ovens with skin cancer, although it's definitely something worth exploring.''
The ban on tanning beds will come into effect in 2014, after public health concerns about their link to skin cancer.
A 2009 study from the University of Texas Medical School, published in the Archives of Dermatology, raised questions about UV exposure from nail lamps, used to ''cure'' gel and shellac nails.
The study was based on the experiences of two women, both regular long-term users of UV nail lamps, who had developed skin cancers on their fingers. But it noted the radiation emitted from UV nail lamps was much less than from a tanning bed.
UV nail lamps use either a nine-watt globe or a 36-watt globe, used on about 2 per cent of the skin surface of area. Commercial tanning beds can produce up to 1200 watts of power, used on 100 per cent of body surface area.
An Australian distributor of UV nail lamps, Eve Pawlowski, manager of Capital Salon Supplies, said radiation exposure from the lamps was minimal.
''You only put your nails under them for two minutes, maximum,'' she said. ''Most clients would probably only have their nails done every four weeks or so, so they don't get much exposure at all.''
She said UV nail lamps were being phased out in favour of more effective LED nail lamps, which could dry nails faster.
A spokeswoman for Cancer Council NSW, Gina Murphy, said more research needed to be done into the UV lamps before making any recommendations.

A central issue in the evolutionary ecology of species interactions is coevolution, which involves the reciprocal selection between individuals of interacting species. Understanding the importance of coevolution in shaping species interactions requires the consideration of spatial variation in their strength. This is exactly what the, recently developed, geographic mosaic theory of coevolution addresses. Another major development in the study of population ecology is the introduction of the population genomics approach in this field of research. This approach addresses spatial processes through molecular methods. It is of particular interest that population genomics is especially applicable to natural populations of non-model species. We describe how population genomics can be used in the context of the geographic mosaic of coevolution, specifically to identify coevolutionary hot-spots, and to attribute genetic variation found at specific loci to processes of selection versus trait remixing. The proposed integration of the population genomics approach with the conceptual framework of the geographic mosaic of coevolution is illustrated with a few selected, particularly demonstrative, examples from the realm of insect--plant interactions.

The Winter Soldier Is Captain USA
April 14, 2014
Captain The united state: The Winter months Soldier
Although The Avengers came out back in 2012, it's still fresh in numerous of our minds. It stands as one of the quite finest superhero films to this day. Nevertheless, that makes it more difficult for each hero to thrill us with their individual motion pictures, as everything will inevitably be compared to Joss Whedon's self-aware activity flick. When Captain American: The First Avenger was at first launched, everyone seemed to applaud it, yet I located it to be quite weak compared with the launchings of his fellow Avengers, such as Iron Man. This Friday, Captain America will certainly be sliding back onto the silver screen with a sequel that has been obtaining even more buzz compared to practically any other Wonder film to date. It's definitely considerably better in comparison to the Captain's Phase One debut, yet it's undoubtedly not the most effective point ahead from Wonder.
Now that he's restored into the modern-day globe, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) feels lost. Practically everyone he when understood is dead, and is all he has actually left is his work at S.H.I.E.L.D., which he appears to be shedding enthusiasm for. The moment his manager, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), shows to be in dreadful danger, Captain The united state and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) are compelled to kick into action. However, there is no one left for them to trust, as a brand-new risk from the past has a goal to kill Captain The united state and anybody else who gets in his way. He's a Soviet agent called the Winter Soldier.
Captain The united state: The Winter season Soldier leaves to a fairly solid beginning, as screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely make this hero a little bit much more relatable. A number of jokes are integrated into this, which work fairly well. He has a conversation with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), who asks him concerning just what he has missed while he was iced up. Rogers keeps a tiny note pad filled with popular flicks, songs, and types of food that he needs to try in order to mesmerize. This is a pretty respectable means to present Captain America to us in the present day. In fact, there's a whole lot even more concentrate on our hero than there typically is. while we're still tossed into the middle of the battlefield instead promptly, as Captain America is deployed on a mission for the protection company. The difference is that it feels as if we're being consisted of in his life, as opposed to simply enjoying it unfold. We finally have the possibility to read more about Steve Rogers as the man he seeks he has actually faced just what he did post-New York with the Avengers. The moment the genuine activity begins, there's no stopping it.
Audiences have actually pertained to greatly appreciate the discussion from these Wonder attributes, as it's generally witty and amusing. This remains to be true for Captain America: The Winter months Soldier, as it flows rather well and the jokes provide on the chuckles. However, if you're looking for some legendary fights in between the Captain and the Wintertime Soldier, you'll wind up frustrated. The Wintertime Soldier is a strong antagonist which fits into this part two effectively. Sadly, the movie spends a lot of time showing grunts combating, who would obviously not stand a chance to the Captain's bullet-proof guard. Even after the Winter Soldier is introduced, he doesn't have quite display time. Although that his identification is evident from the start, Markus and McFeely attempt to delay uncovering it for quite time. When they ultimately do get the opportunity to fight, they're often disrupted by the rest of mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. brokers, which are again, no match for our lead. For a movie with the antagonist's name in the title, he sure doesn't show up very much.
There has actually been a bunch of buzz specifying that this is the best feature to come from Marvel, which I completely disagree with. While the tone is most absolutely the same, a lot of it seems like more of what we have actually currently seen. Apart from the fact that the tale gets additional focus, a big amount of the activity acquires a little tiring. There are simply numerous times that I can enjoy nameless soldiers fire directly at Captain The united state's bulletproof shield, as he bills and defeats them all up. I'm glad that not all the action scenes are just large explosions, yet the battle sequences could possibly have and ought to have been considerably stronger. Black Widow and Nick Fury steal the Captain's own film right from below him, as their activity sequences show to be far more entertaining and inventive. Once we reach the 3rd act, the audience truly really feels the result of a badly weak antagonist above the Winter Soldier. As soon as you reach the last battle sequence in between Captain The united state and this historic enemy, it has the instance of "too little, far too late." Once the credit ratings started to roll, I found myself merely would like to view Avengers: Age of Ultron instead of Captain America's following follow up. Sponsored by http://4searchengineoptimization.com.
The duty of Steven Rogers is completely important to this film's success, as it doesn't have the personalities of the various other Avengers to conserve him from collapsing and burning. Although plenty of moviegoers disagree with me, I don't support Chris Evans as Captain The united state. He's fine in The Avengers, because he functions fairly well in the sustaining part. However, I merely don't buy him as Captain The united state when he's front and facility. There isn't really anything necessarily incorrect with Evans' performance, however it simply doesn't rather help me. The exact same could not be claimed for Scarlett Johansson playing Black Widow. This is a perfect spreading choice, as she provides most of the film's personality. Johansson possesses this role not just with the activity scenes, but even with the more comedic and emotional moments. Samuel L. Jackson confirms yet once again that he's absolutely remarkable as Nick Fury. He has the wit and beauty needed for this function, and it's fantastic to see that he has additional to do in this attribute. Anthony Mackie additionally supplies a fair bit of individuality as Sam Wilson. His littles with Evans are strong, and he keeps plenty of of the scenes grounded that would have gone off of the rails otherwise. Robert Redford does an alright work as Alexander Pierce. However, the personality is so significantly underwritten, that there isn't very much for Redford to do, other than supply the common performance that people would expect from a personality such as this.
Given that this is a Marvel movie, it ought to concern not a surprise that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is visiting be huge in its visuals. However, supervisors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo have actually made the sensible selection of making use of as little CGI as feasible. Most the battling series are plainly done in front of the camera, enabling them to really feel far more 100% natural. When the CGI is used for several of the bigger scenes, it looks actually excellent. Nevertheless, the camerawork is irritating, as there is means way too much "shaky" cam being used. While some of this design makes sense in this movie, it's even used throughout a lot of the dialogue scenes, which eventually becomes fairly disruptive. If you're searching for an audio track that you will certainly really feel rumble with the movie theater, then this is for you. This will be an incredible trial Blu-ray disc.
While it's absolutely a delightful superhero film, it isn't as wonderful as a lot of the buzz suggests. Film writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely offer audiences with even more tale compared to we're utilized to viewing from Wonder flicks. The story flows relatively well, as it never ever when becomes dull with its running time. The assisting characters ultimately make this movie exactly what it is, as Black Widow and Nick Fury supply both individuality and the most effective activity scenes aware. Nevertheless, there is way too much useless battling between idiotic and nameless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and inadequate of Captain The united state battling a worthy opponent, such as the Wintertime Soldier. No matter, this is still a fun activity feature that improves upon the initial one. Captain America: The Wintertime Soldier is an entertaining flight, however it's no Joss Whedon. Recommended.
Godzilla versus King Kong
April 14, 2014
A gift from heaven for bored children on summer break, the 1963 Universal release Master Kong verse Godzilla was a shock struck crafted by marketing experts who understood exactly just what they were offering. At age ten I was walking through my living room just as a 20-second TELEVISION place was playing. I envision my response coincided as many million other little ones with, should we say, undiscriminating tastes: I recognized exactly where I intended to be come Sunday afternoon. I had not yet been presented to Famous Monsters of Filmland journal, however I currently aware: I 'd viewed Gigantis The Fire Beast at age 7 or 8. Self-appointed professional that I was, I couldn't be fooled: 'Gigantis' was truly Godzilla. If King Kong verse Godzilla played fair, the huge beast would have to appear from the substantial block of ice where he was recently hidden.
The Saturday matinee was stuffed with kids, primarily boys. Our monster films were significant things. It mattered not that the screenplay and dialogue were infantile, and it really did not also matter that the Japanese King Kong was, uh, on the insufficient side. We held on every word and applauded every entry of our big monster-heroes.
The KKVG job didn't stem with Toho. We readers of FM soon learnt that the great Willis O'Brien had been involved at an early stage. Simply years later would certainly researchers (Don Shay?) divulge the whole story, a typical Hollywood dirty deal by social media consulting
The initial Eastern version is a gala entertainment meant to re-launch the Godzilla name in a new instructions. In color and 'range, parts of it were deliberately comic. Godzilla is a trouble, however no more a grim specter of the atomic age. The flick rather grafts a typical 'Godzilla is pertaining to Tokyo' story with a loosened retelling of the Kong folklore. While Godzilla petrifies the Japanese landmass, reps of a Pharmaceutical Company travel to Faro Isle to secure their own beast, for promotion purposes. Master Kong battles a huge octopus but is captured and delivered throughout the ocean on a boating. The comic drug firm CEO panics when Kong runs away. Many already discounted approaches of killing Godzilla are tried out (does General Jun Tazaki have a checklist?) before the two titans clash, in the middle of the city and finally on the ski slopes of Mt. Fuji.
The original Kingu Kongu tai Gojira had a satirical bent to its comedy. The ingenious film writer Shinichi Sekizawa had actually already adopted massive criticism of First World/Third Globe exploitation in his marvelous fairytale monster prance Mothra. Right here the goofy CEO is simply an unreasonable clown. He collapses when mentioned to that the federal government will not allow him bring King Kong into Tokyo. Naturally, the magnificent ape is just offshore, and has no trouble diving the remainder of the method.
A regular nighttime scene of Godzilla menacing a traveler train is extremely well done, re-creating the beast's size and menace. That octopus back on Faro Isle could be one of the most excellent point in the film: it looks significant and moves with exuding twists of its arms. Back in '63 we thought it was spectacular. The movie cooks up a scene where the heroine (Mie Hama, later on tapped for a James Bond movie) invests a minute or more in the paws of the gigantic bushy ape, howling her avoid. Kong climbs atop the capitol's Diet regimen structure, a pathetic sight undoubtedly. It was then one of the highest buildings in the city. The original Kong had occasional variances in scale however Toho-Kong does not worry itself about such points. Mie Hama virtually loads his paw, despite the fact that stated paw is almost as big as Godzilla's head.
That brings us to Toho's interpretation of Master Kong, which became an immediate source of derision. Toho had made ape suits before yet this one is absolutely pathetic. The guidelines seem to have been to not discourage 4-year-olds, and to whack it together in 24 hours. Toho-Kong's physical body is a shapeless gunnysack that commonly does not even look bushy. In some scenes it has arm expansions that fail to produce an ape-like result. When Toho-Kong splashes it appears like a stack of stinking rags. The cartoonish face would not meet with approval in a Sid & Marty Kroft kiddie program by hummingbird seo services. The Gargantuas of a few years later have more fascinating physical bodies, despite the fact that their faces are not particularly enticing.
The moment the fight starts, the movie comes to be an episode of Sunday Evening Battling. The cams rise from ankle to waist degree, to make sure that the beasts not look massive. Kong surges his saggy arms and Godzilla fires his fiery breath, although always at Kong's feet, by chance. Kong tries to jam a plant down Godzilla's throat, and sends him flying with a Judo flip. The computer animation for Godzilla's dental weapon is exceptional; his dorsal plates glow blue. One concept may have been a Willis O'Brien carryover from the Universal Frankenstein collection– Kong receives power from high high-voltage line, and electric bolts occasionally shoot from his teeth.
The effects are stunning, but with much less attention to realistic look in comparison to in some Tohos. The repainted sky backdrops on the sea scenes are very bad. However the opticals are very clean; minority scratches we see are mainly on treatments reused from earlier flicks. Those knowledgeable about other Toho pictures will certainly most likely compared to not recognize numerous recycled minutes from earlier Toho fantasies, particularly Mothra and The Mysterians. A UN interactions satellite is in fact an unusual fight station from the latter film.
The American variation of KKVG essentially ruins the flavor and pacing of the initial, making plentiful trimmings and adding running comments using a "United Nations Information Man" played by Michael Keith. He and a scientific professional go over Godzilla as if taking care of a nursery school, also creating a dinosaur book for kids. Sometimes they speak as if Godzilla is a recognized sensation. A helicopter pilot promptly acknowledges Large G by name, yet when we reduced to the UN News feed, the researcher acts as if challenged by something new. Regular cutaways to the rather laid-back newsmen crudely connect the story together, closing spaces where Universal's publishers have actually gone down personality scenes from the original movie. As if anticipated, the American producer and director offer themselves popular title credit ratings, while a few of the initial Oriental filmmakers go unmentioned, or misspelled.
Producer John Beck's modifying is choppy. The dubbing is instead excellent, if grammatically tested at times. The men going to Faro Island act like a funny group, and the writing for their cowardly dialogue is all right. Many of the original Akira Ifukube songs track has been changed by signs from, I kid you not, The Creature from the Black Shallows. The result is rather jolting.
Today Master Kong verse Godzilla creates a terrific kid film. The package text mentions "distressing" however if your children can manage The Three Little Porkers there's absolutely nothing to concern. For us older fans it has precise fond memories worth. I was so active cheering with my pint-sized peers that I had not been familiar with any jeering from teenagers– other than maybe when Toho's flea-bite Kong made his opening night.
Universal's Blu-ray of Master Kong verse Godzilla is definitely primaried to accompany the opening of the new gazillion-dollar Cracking Bad Godzilla. The transmission of this FIFTY year-old image is very good. A few scenes are a little dark, yet no person has actually chosen to "update" the colors, which are as brilliant and rich as ever before. It's a completely great plain-wrap launch. No title monitor appears, the motion picture simply plays upon insertion. A choice to skip phases shows up when one attacks the menu switch.
I'm mentioned to that a Blu-ray of the Oriental Kingu Kongu tai Gojira schedules for release this summer season, yet the word is that it will certainly have no English subs, like nearly all Eastern discs.

Intelligence Director Reviews Changes Since September 11 Attacks
Negroponte says more analysts, intelligence-sharing strengthen counterterrorism
The following piece was originally published in the September 10 edition of the Washington Post and is in the public domain. There are no republication restrictions. The author is the U.S. director of national intelligence.
Yes, We Are Better Prepared, By John D. Negroponte, U.S. Director of National Intelligence
Surprise is what intelligence is intended to prevent, but on Sept. 11, 2001, our nation was surprised, and the results were tragic. Now the fifth anniversary of those horrific events raises anew the question: Is our nation's intelligence community better prepared to keep America safe? The answer is yes. U.S. intelligence has made major advances since that Sept. 11.
First and foremost, we better understand, and are aligned to meet, the threat of transnational terror. Although our enemy is constantly changing and remains deadly, our collectors and analysts are carefully tracking the evolution of al-Qaeda and its ideological allies. Today, we have several times as many "all source" analysts -- those who look at all types of intelligence -- focusing on the terrorist threat as were in place on Sept. 11. And as we build up analytic insight and expertise, we also are devoting resources to increased human intelligence collection on targets of primary concern. One important indicator of effectiveness: We and our partners have captured or killed a majority of the al-Qaeda leadership involved in planning and directing the Sept. 11 attacks.
Second, we know that intelligence does little good if those who need it don't see it. Over the past five years we have made great progress in breaking down information "stovepipes." The results are tangible.
Without good intelligence in the right hands, coalition forces in Iraq could not have located and killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose bloody attacks took so many Iraqi and coalition lives. More recently, British intelligence performed spectacularly in enabling British law enforcement to shut down last month's airline plot. All credit goes to the British, but U.S. and Pakistani intelligence-sharing -- among U.S. intelligence agencies and with the British -- supported their efforts.
These are concrete examples of how we have changed and are changing the way we do business. We continue to strengthen the National Counterterrorism Center, which integrates 28 intelligence networks. In addition, we have created the National Security Branch at the FBI, expanding and connecting the bureau's intelligence, counterterrorism and counterintelligence capabilities. In 2005 only a few hundred employees at the FBI had access to the National Counterterrorism Center's secret-level online information sources. Now that figure is in the thousands. At the same time, we are weaving state and regional fusion centers, as well as more than 100 FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces, into a national network designed to ensure that actionable threat information gets where it needs to go in a timely fashion. Although sharing information between agencies and with allies is a demanding process, it is critical to countering transnational threats.
We are also more vigilant than ever concerning the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists. We located the National Counterterrorism Center and the newly created National Counterproliferation Center together. We have worked closely with the FBI to establish a WMD Division to ensure that our domestic counterterrorism efforts include expertise on weapons of mass destruction. And we created a "WMD Innovation Fund" for intelligence community analysis, collection, and science and technology projects.

Fantastic large window at the living space with great view over roof tops, green courtyard and some trees, it was a pleasure to sit on a comfy sofa (pull out one) with a coffee :) there. All the equipment you would need was there, all working well. The airconditioning did the great job too.
The sleeping space was on the enclosed mezzanine (no door however, but still felt privacy) with full size bed, WI-FI router, desktop and chair.
The apartment was quiet at all time (nights well slept :) ), - Mahailia & Georg

We love zombies to bits. No, sorry - that came out wrong. We love to blast zombies to bits. But that's not the only way we like to kill them. In fact we've got a video of 33 other ways to make the dead even deader.
From Dreamcast's awesome House of the Dead spin-off Zombie Revenge or 360's Dead Rising to PS2's Maximo and Gamecube's Eternal Darkness, there are hordes of shuffling daisy pushers to dismember, scythe and bludgeon. But be warned! There's some pretty violent stuff in here so don't go fibbing to the age-gate.

"Clockworks (Bloody Elevators)" by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind.
This track was one of many that Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind composed for The Shining after having read Stephen King's novel, over a year before the film actually went into production. Of those early tracks, this is the only one that Kubrick used, though not in the finished film. Instead, he used it over The Shining's striking and iconic trailer, a choice that arguably set the tone for the music he would later use.
This track, though not a part of the original soundtrack album, was released as part of Carlos and Elkind's full score, which is now out of print.
"Midnight, the Stars and You" by Al Bowlly with Ray Noble & His Orchestra, as reinterpreted by The Caretaker.
The Caretaker, a long-running project by musician James Kirby, was inspired by the Gold Room Ball sequence in The Shining. Most of his work involves old band music filtered through a hazy lens - distant, haunted, ambient echoes from another time.
Composed by György Ligeti and performed by Sinfonie-Orchestra des Sudwestfunk, conducted by Ernest Bour.
A portion of this track was used to underscore Danny's first vision of the blood elevator and the Grady twins while standing at his bathroom mirror. Another section was used for the aftermath of Danny encountering the Grady twins in the Staff Wing hallway.
György Ligeti was a Hungarian composer of contemporary classical music. Kubrick used Ligeti's music in 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as Eyes Wide Shut.

3.5 Stars
Cute but..
July 23, 2014
I have been looking for strappy shoes for the longest time and these were perfect. Being 4'11 I thought the height of the shoe wouldnt be an issue, but when I received them in the mail they were just way too big for my body. I am a size 5.5 so i thought the height would help. These are super cute though! Although the material could get dirty easily. Planning to return
Cons:Dirty easily
New Jersey
3.5 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
July 5, 2014
I ordered the nude pair in a 7.5 and they fit perfect ! There was enough room in the toe area so that my toes were not all the way at the tip (I hate that). came in great condition too no scratches or marks. The only reason I did not give a fourth star was because the shoe creases easily because of how you put them on. I plan on ordering the lime soon .
Pros:-color - high heel -well made - glaze brand
Cons:-creasing - shows dirt easily

Online discussions can take many forms — asynchronous like discussion boards or synchronous through live-chat tools. Well constructed online discussions can help students prepare for class or be an extension of activities that took place during class. They can be particularly effective in flipped or hybrid classrooms, keeping students engaged, critically thinking, and accountable outside of class time. They don't always have to heavy lifting however, using brief and breezy discussions can be a jumping off point for higher order activities or for quick reflections for an informal assessment. Discussion board tools can also be used for peer feedback, group work, help/tutor forums, and brainstorm activities.

"My weight does not define me." That's what Miranda Lambert told People magazine in the new country special issue. To that, I have to say to Lambert, "Preach on, woman."
She is so right, right? You are who you are. You are not how much you weigh. You are not a number or a size or a measurement.
Lambert went on to say that up or down, "Getting a handle on it is one more thing to feel confident about."
Even though Lambert did recently slim down, she can't really understand why everyone cares so much.
"It's annoying people pay that much attention to it," she said. "I don't like how women are judged for it. I'm not worried about what other people think, but if I'm onstage and something's too tight and I'm thinking about my body instead of my performance, that's when it's time to say, 'OK, it's been fun, but we're breaking up, food!'"
Reflecting on her body didn't just lead to a weight loss for Lambert. It gave her an idea for a song, too, when she was looking in the mirror over her bathroom sink. She said she is vulnerable in the song (called "Bathroom Sink," of course) and that like the rest of the rest of the songs on her upcoming album Platinum, it is women's music.
"I feel a responsibility to support other women in the business," she said. "If there's anything I can do to kick open a door and hold it open, I'm going to do it."

I can't handle you, your mind is wicked and your hands are peacefully sensible with every movement when they grab me.
You got an unrevealed craziness. Maybe that's the it. Maybe that's the reason- I can't handle crazy. But I allow crazy to handle me.
So don't hide. Reveal yourself.
My beautiful big sister ! :)
