RayBlaster - a radically new form of synthesis!
Impulse Modelling Synthesis (IMS) represents a radically new and different approach in sound generation.
Based on the latest research in psychoacoustics, Tone2´s RayBlaster unveils a completely new and unique world of sounds that is exclusive to RayBlaster and not possible with other synthesizers.
What is Impulse Modeling Synthesis ?
Offering a new world of high quality sounds and limitless creative potential for all styles of music,
IMS goes well beyond traditional forms of synthesis. Conventional synthesizers employ what is known as subtractive synthesis, in which the oscillator source is a looped waveform that is filtered to create a sound. By contrast, RayBlaster utilizes an entirely new and fresh approach to sound generation and creates its distinctive sound from many short bursts of energy, which combine to form a more complex sound. In fact, this innovative approach to synthesis is very close to how our human inner ear perceives sound. Because of its radically new method of synthesis, RayBlaster offers a wide range of original sounds, sounds that have never been heard before.
What is the difference to other synthesizers?
Whether you´re a professional producer, synthesizer enthusiast, or a live performing musician, distinctive and high quality sounds are just a key press away with RayBlasters revolutionary IMS synthesis engine, its psychoacoustic processing, and its carefully designed signal processing. Rayblaster´s synthesis engine sounds very fat and appealing, while also being capable of cutting through any mix. RayBlaster provides a vast range of sounds that would be unimaginable from other synthesizers and opens up completely new sonic possibilities for you to work with. IMS is both powerful and flexible and allows free manipulation of pitch, time and timbre in real-time. This enables you to create complex compositions that dont make the mix muddy´. Especially when played at lower frequencies, the sounds produced by IMS have more detail and character than those produced by other synthesis methods. As a result, you get better sound quality on lower quality playback systems or within difficult acoustic environments.
Since it´s always difficult to explain how something sounds without actually hearing it, we recommend that you download our free demo version of RayBlaster to listen & decide for yourself!
RayBlaster ships with an inspiring library of over 500 outstanding presets from some of the world´s top sound designers. Many complex sounds such as arpeggiators, vocals or drumloops automatically synchronize to the BPM.
For fast & easy access to the specific sound you desire, all sounds are arranged into categories, making them easy to locate whether for live performance or within a professional studio environment.
IMS has no need for a separate filter section because its oscillators are capable of authentically reproducing the filter sound of other synthesizers by using one of the factory impulse presets or simply by importing one of your own impulses. Not only is RayBlaster capable of modeling the sound of existing filters – it also makes it possible to create completely new artificial ´fantasy´ filters that are exclusive to RayBlaster. This renders its filter capabilities virtually unlimited.
Waveforms, Samples & Resynthesis
In addition to importing filter characteristics into RayBlaster´s oscillators, you can also import the waveform of any other synthesizer into RayBlaster. This gives you an unlimited number of possible waveshapes, all of which are capable of being morphed in real-time. You can resynthesize short samples like a drumloop or a vocal phrase.
RayBlaster also offers you many possibilities to synchronize complex sounds to BPM as well as providing the ability to manipulate the pitch, timing and the timbre of all your sounds in real-time.
RayBlaster comes with a wide variety of effects that were developed and fine-tuned to complement RayBlaster´s Impulse Modeling Synthesis. 18 different stereo effects are included, all carefully crafted to offer the highest quality possible: Reverbs, Delays, Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser, Flanger, Rotary, Compressor, Amp-Sim, Equalizer, Surround-Encode, Vocoder & TranceGate.

Figure in the Garden
May 20, 2011–July 17, 2013
The Museum of Modern Art
- Sculpture Garden
This summer's Sculpture Garden installation brings together figurative works from the late 19th century to the present day. Making its debut in the Sculpture Garden is Figurengruppe/Group of Figures, by contemporary German artist Katharina Fritsch (b. 1956). Conceived in 2006–08, the work features nine life-size sculptures of, among other figures, St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake, all rendered in precise detail and finished in bold colors. Religious symbolism and references to mythology abound, yet any fixed meaning remains open and elusive. Group of Figures is joined by earlier works such as Auguste Rodin's heroic St. John the Baptist Preaching (1878–80) and Aristide Maillol's pensive Mediterranean (1902–05). Striking a casual pose in his derby hat is Elie Nadelman's Man in the Open Air (c. 1915), and perched atop a tall pedestal is Gaston Lachaise's open-armed, voluptuous Floating Figure (1927). Perennial favorites like Picasso's She-Goat (1950) and Miró's Moonbird (1966) are on view as well, in addition to works by Renée Sintenis, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Tom Otterness.
Organized by Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture.
The exhibition is made possible by a partnership with Volkswagen of America.
Licensing of MoMA images and videos is handled by Art Resource (North America) and Scala Archives (all other geographic locations). All requests should be addressed directly to those agencies, which supply high-resolution digital image files provided to them directly by the Museum.

Cruel joke too far
I may as well go bury my sorrow,
for I'm telling you now,
I shall see no tomorrow.
Please don't tell me to try and cope,
because I have long let go of all hope.
And as for you, a group of friends?
More like enemies!
See how you've led me to the end.
Taunted, teased, hurt, shattered.
Unhappy, heart smashed, bashed, broken, and battered.
You turned my life into a joke.
Your joke, and now it's a cruel joke too far.
Well I hope that when I'm gone,
I leave a scar, engraved in your heart forever.

Love It For The Steamroom Scene Most Of All
- thattowel
- 2/10/17
Show more than your shoulders,George,why so modest,Jim wasn't!The steamroom is my favorite scene,but this is full of great ones.When Wharton starts losing it,Macready is terrific.Who can blame his character for wanting revenge,but he should only have gone after the ones who framed him,the jury had a job to do and were convinced of his guilt.This really is a major star turn for someone I consider a great actor,George Macready!He always seemed so well prepared and contributed much to any project he worked in.
Definitely Macready's Film
- macreadyrocksit
- 10/23/16
Macready falsely accused of woman who he supposedly promised marriage.He's sentenced to hang,and nearly does until Bannon's reporter saves his bacon.He's then committed to a mental hospital where he starts exacting his revenge.Could anyone else have been any more sinister.And watching Macready's face when Mazurki is giving his neck a good rubbing the right or wrong way is precious!
A Dark Stormy Night When I Watched It
- lovedit
- 8/2/16
Another I Love A Mystery vintage.George Macready is Harry Wharton,falsely accused and convicted sentenced to hang,but saved in the nick of time by a crusading reporter.Has thrills,chills,comedy,and a wonderful job by Macready,who may not have been on the football team,but grabs the ball and runs for a touchdown here!Have watched repeatedly since getting the dvd this weekend.
One Heck Of A Psychological Thriller
- alleyesonmacready
- 8/2/16
Bannon is reporter who helps free Macready from prison just before he is to be hanged for a crime he didn't commit.On release,he is institutionalized,and "commits suicide" in hospital.From there,he whittles down the jury to there are only 5 left.So many perfect scenes along the way,plenty of non-stop suspense.Can't praise it enough!
George Macready The Star All The Way
- ilovemacreepy
- 8/2/16
Watched the dvd last nite.Great I Love A Mystery installment,though not releaed as such.Bannon is a reporter seeking to right an injustice to Wharton,convicted of murder,sentenced to die by hanging.From the start,Macready is a tough one to catch on to.He starts murdering the jurors.And he really makes this film what it is!Just watch his scene in the mental hospital,and the steamroom.Absolute classic!
George MacCreepy At It Again
- iloveamysteryseries
- 8/2/16
This man just rocks as a psychopath.Another role as a psycho,he just runs with it.Everyone else has to try to catch up to him.As a convicted murderer with just barely time to spare before execution,he exacts revenge on those who convicted him.My favorite scene is Cullie's,with Mazurki giving the ole neck that almost was stretched a massage.And what's with the total coverup towel vs Bannon's more revealing one?New England modesty?So many great scenes,sit back and enjoy this gem,even better than George as Jefferson Monk in I Love A Mystery,the film.

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 10, 2016
Tandem solar cells based on silicon and perovskites have raised high hopes for future high efficiency solar modules.
A tandem solar cell works by absorbing the high energy photons (visible light) in a top cell which generates a high voltage, and the lower energy photons (Infra red) in a rear cell, which generates a lower voltage. This increases the theoretical maximum efficiency by about 50% in comparison to a standalone silicon cell.
To maximise efficiency, the amount of light absorbed in top cell has to precisely match the light absorbed in the rear cell. However, the band gap of ~1.6eV of the standard perovskite material is too small to fully exploit the efficiency potential of this technology.
A team led by perovskite solar cell pioneer Prof. Henry Snaith FRS at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with silicon solar cell experts Prof. Bernd Rech and Dr. Lars Korte of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, have shown that an ultimate efficiency of 30% should be attainable with such tandem cells.
They conceived together a tandem cell, in a configuration where the perovskite and the silicon cell are mechanically stacked and contacted separately. The HZB team contributed the
The Oxford group did vary systematically the chemical composition of the perovskite layer, and with a precise cocktail of ions discovered a structurally stable perovsksite with its band gap tuned to an optimum value of 1.75 electron volts, maintaining a high electronic quality of the layer.
At the same time, they increased the chemical and thermal stability of the material significantly.

This site strikes me as extraordinary. I love everything about it - the gorgeous visual design, the intuitive navigation & information architecture, the lighthearted tone, the personal approach, the student-centered design, the integration of content and interactive elements, and even the Creative Commons license. I'd love to see any data that the creators have on the site's impact & the level of student usage.
Technical Remarks:
Works well, just wondering if it works with screenreaders & non-mouse users, it very well may, I just can't tell at first glance & I know this can be a challenge with visually appealing work.

Methods of Electronic-structure Calculations by Michael Springborg
Book DescriptionMethods of Electronic-Structure Calculations From Molecules to Solids Michael Springborg Department of Chemistry, University of Konstanz, Germany Electronic-structure calculations of the properties of specific materials have become increasingly important over the last 30 years. Although several books on the subject have been published, it is rare to find one that covers in detail both the traditional quantum chemistry and the solid-state physics methods of electronic-structure calculations. This title bridges that gap, focusing equally on both types of method, including density-functional and Hartree-Fock-based approaches. The book is aimed at final-year undergraduate and postgraduate students of both chemistry and of physics. It describes in detail the fundamentals behind the various methods that are used in calculating electronic properties of materials, and that to some extent are commercially available. It should also be of interest to professional scientists working in related theoretical or experimental fields.

Key Challenges in the Design of Learning Technology Standards – Observations and Proposals
This paper considers some key challenges that learning technology standards must take account of: the inherent connected-ness of the information and complexity as a cause of emergent behavior. Some of the limitations of historical approaches to information systems and standards development are briefly considered alongside generic strategies to tackle complexity and system adaptivity. A consideration of the facets of interoperability – organizational, syntactic and semantic – leads to an outline of a strategy for dealing with environmental complexity in the learning technology standards domain.

(provided by the applicant): African Americans with HIV fare worse than their White counterparts, with large racial/ethnic disparities at all points along the HIV care continuum. Compared to Whites with HIV, African Americans with HIV have lower levels of engagement and retention in care, and are less likely to be on state-of-the art antiretroviral treatment (ART);those on ART are less likely to be adherent at high enough levels for the treatment to be effective. The proposed 5-year project focuses on HIV-related medical mistrust (e.g., misconceptions, conspiracies such as that HIV is a form of genocide) as a barrier to HIV care and treatment behaviors. Specifically, the project will examine how social contexts, specifically, social networks (i.e., the constellation of social relationships surrounding an individual), may influence the spread of HIV-related medical mistrust, and in turn, affect treatment behaviors among African Americans with HIV. A total of 240 African Americans with HIV (120 not engaged in care, 120 on ART) will be followed over 12-months;data will be collected on the flow of HIV-related mistrust beliefs across social networks, as well as HIV care outcomes over time (engagement in care, adherence to ART). The research will conclude with active intervention conceptualization in partnership with community stakeholders in order to identify innovative social network-based solutions for improving treatment behaviors and ultimately, reducing disparities.
The specific aims are: (1) To identify social network sources of HIV-related information (i.e., mistrust, misconceptions, conspiracies, and accurate information) among African Americans with HIV;(2) To examine the ways in which social network characteristics related to HIV mistrust are associated with HIV treatment behaviors across the HIV care continuum (engagement in care, antiretroviral treatment use, antiretroviral treatment adherence);and (3) Together with community stakeholders, to use study findings to identify novel intervention solutions to address mistrust and improve HIV treatment behaviors for African Americans with HIV. HIV-related mistrust is hypothesized to be spread through social networks and associated with specific network characteristics;individuals with high HIV-related mistrust are hypothesized to be less likely to be engaged in care and to be adherent to ART;and social network composition (e.g., level of mistrust in network) and structure (e.g., closeness of network members) are predicted to be related to HIV treatment behaviors (e.g., the relationship between mistrust and adherence will be greater for individuals in networks with high levels of mistrust). No research to date has used a social network approach to understanding the flow of HIV-related information and misconceptions among people with HIV.
Large racial/ethnic disparities exist in HIV care, with African Americans less likely that Whites to be engaged in care, taking state-of-the art antiretroviral treatment (ART), and adherent to ART. Levels of HIV- related medical mistrust (including misconceptions, misinformation, and conspiracies, e.g., that HIV is a form of genocide) are high among African Americans and are thought to be a barrier to HIV care and treatment behaviors. We propose to examine how social contexts, specifically, social networks, may influence the spread of HIV-related mistrust, and in turn, affect HIV-related treatment behaviors across the HIV care continuum among African Americans with HIV.

Lupin's S Ramesh expects 15-20 percent growth for FY14 on year-on-year basis. Going ahead, he believes the overall momentum would continue and the company will find growth.
S Ramesh (more)
President, Finance & Planning, Lupin |
" Q1 could be an aberration, but things would pick up Q2 onwards "
- S Ramesh (President, Finance & Planning)
Also Read: FI PB may defer FDI in pharma sector
Meanwhile, Lupin recently got approval from the American authorities for Yasmin, an oral contraceptive and hopes to launch it soon in the US. He further added that the company is looking at around 100 new launches in the span of next three years.
With regards to the domestic pricing policy, Ramesh expects the prices to come down by at least 2-3 percent. "Lupin will be impacted by around Rs 30-40 crore which will flow to the bottom-line as well, but overall penetration would certainly increase in India, so one expects the growth to continue," he adds.
Below is the verbatim transcript of S Ramesh's interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: What is happening with Yaz and Yasmin and how much closer could you be in launching that and by when do you think it could happen?
A: We got approval for Yasmin. As of no, we have not got the approval for Yaz and there has been a Supreme Court ruling in America recently, so it clears the decks for generic competition to enter. We are in position to launch one of those and the other as soon as we get approvals.
We have more than 31 submissions to the American authorities for the oral contraceptive space and we already have six in the market. We have 11 approvals till date and by the end of the year, we would have about 18 launches in place.
Q: Are you also pitching for some exclusivity? What kind of market do Yaz and Yasmin represent?
A: They are fairly large products. To that extent, if you look at our track record you have been getting between 25-30 percent post generalisation. We will be able to get same kind of market share for these two products as well, but it is too early to talk about either of them.
Q: What export launches have you planned in FY14 and because of the rupee depreciation, what could the positive impact be on realisations in terms of exports?
A: We have a very rich pipeline lined up for the US. We got about 180 odd filings and we have launched around 45 in the market. We have about 85 products that have been approved. So, in the next three years we would expect at least 100 odd launches and even in the course of this year upwards of 20 would be possible.
Overseas would certainly be a pretty large chunk of that. Important ones that we could be launching through the course of the year could be Gatifloxacin, potentially Niacin at the end of the year. Some of these could be pretty large ones. If you talk about any generic product of over USD 10 million being blockbuster, we will have quite a few of those being launched in the course of the year itself.
Q: The potential launch of Yaz and Yasmin along with the ones that you have mentioned, how much do you think it could help in terms of augmenting your margins further? You closed last quarter with 25 percent plus margins. Do you think you could better going ahead?
A: If you look at last quarter, the margins are close to about 26 percent on the back of launch of Tricor. It was a pretty large drug for us. Continuing into the current quarter there are of course seasonal variations. For example, flu season is off so to that extent sales of Suprax and others could be down and the price coming off in case of Tricor, Ziprasidone, Fortamet. While these are there, we still believe the overall momentum would continue and you would find growth.

Emotional Timebomb
I'm like a time bomb
an emotional hazard
that explodes too soon
Living in the dark
waiting for it to happen
hoping that no one sees
When the feeling starts
and people can still see me
then I run away
But when floods begin
They take over everything
And I seem to drown.

Hello guys, I'd like to buy any Noland you guys have to offer whether they are 0 Xp or Full Xp.
0 Xp's are obviously worth more than Full Xp so I'll take that into consideration when you make me an offer.
Make me offers on this thread or in my PM please, any valuations of Nolands can be sent to my Pm.
I'll make trades with you for your Noland's with the Cr's I have, such as Robb Cr's, Dalhia Cr's, Smokey Cr's etc etc. I also have some clintz to add to my side if the Cr's aren't the ones you require.
Thanks Mods!

Sorry to disappoint my Houston guests. Rick & I had no idea you were looking for a romantic hideaway! If we made you uncomfortable in some fashion I do apologize. We are so accustomed to having guests stay we no longer suffer from "Gladys Cravits" syndrome thus not focusing on what is going on at the guest house. The amenities section of both VRBO.com and homeaway.com are accurate for what we provide. I would venture a guess I provide more than what is listed. Yes the tank less hot water heater is finicky – sorry you did not bond with the system – we like the eco friendly nature of the unit. Oops, the auto temp button was not pushed on the HVAC unit. When engaged, the unit works with a thermostat while controlling the temperature. I have added the instructions to my "helpful hints" provided for all the guests. Rick & I consider the guest house an extension of our home and pride ourselves in providing the accommodations we advertise and each guest agrees to when making their reservation. We enjoyed having you as our guests and welcome you back anytime!
Cabin was very clean and presentable! We loved the whole set up from the inside of the cabin all the way down to the river. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Exactly what my husband and I was looking for. Planning our next visit.
We enjoyed our stay and owners were very friendly. My 5 and 6 year old girls enjoyed the out doors but having the comfort of a cabin. We drove to Hot Springs a couple times and did some of the activities around the area. Overall great vacation.
Stayed here with 3 friends and had an awesome time.
We used the cabin as a base camp for a camping trip to the Ouachita Forest, and there's a ton of hiking and camping within an hour drive of the cabin.
The host, Lori, had us stocked up with a ton of firewood, and the cabin had all we needed to cook and have a comfortable time.
Other reviews mention how close this cabin is to the owner's house. While it is right next door, we never saw the owner's after we arrived and got the tour, and were encouraged to not worry about being too loud or staying up too late. We felt like we had just as much privacy as if we had not been right next door to the owners.
The cabin is in the middle of a bunch of dry counties (the owners gave us a heads up on this), so if you are looking to enjoy some drinks, be prepared to either bring it all in, or drive an hour to Hot Springs to restock.
Thanks for the great stay Lori!
The property was as expected and the property owners very attentive. The cabin/guest house was very roomy and the views were breathtaking. We will visit again!
we absolutely loved our stay. i didn't want to leave!
We have stayed at several cabins using home away but this was our favorite. This was nestled on 32 acres of wooded land with a stream running thru it. Although the cabin was close to the owners home this was never an issue as we had complete privacy. If you can't leave the city and come to this cabin to relax, you can't relax. Plenty of rivers (rated from 1 - 5) to kayak/canoe. I would definitely recommend staying here. The hosts made it so easy and enjoyable.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns' Ryan McDonough: All positions considered in NBA Draft
PHOENIX — Among the six draft prospects invited to work out on Thursday included a 7-foot-1 young, athletic center.
The Suns drafted a 7-foot-1 young, athletic center a year ago by the name of Alex Len.
That decision, however, does not preclude GM Ryan McDonough from choosing yet another skilled big on June 26. That's why the team took a closer look at Baylor's Isaiah Austin, a possibility at No. 27, the last of their three first-round picks.
"It's hard to find seven-footers, and I think if you look around the NBA there's a reason why those guys generally get paid if they're pretty good because they're valuable and hard to find, especially seven-foot guys with skill," McDonough said.
"We try not to eliminate guys positionally. We had a decent year, but we weren't a playoff team. We don't have anybody who is so entrenched that we would say, 'all right, let's not worry about this position and let's just draft other positions.' Generally, we just try to take whoever the best players are and then let them battle it out with the guys on our current roster."
Austin, 20, is an early entry candidate having left Baylor after a sophomore season in which he led the Big 12 with 119 blocks.
The Suns were his first workout.
"That I'm not soft," he said of what he hopes to prove to teams during the pre-draft process. "That I'm going to go out there, I'm going to battle every time I get a chance to go up for a rebound. I'm going to fight for position. I'm going to block shots. I'm going to be around the rim. I'm going to show them that I'm not just a perimeter-type big. I'll show them that I can run the floor and use my quickness and my agility to (get) the upper hand."
Austin topped the charts at the combine in Chicago with a standing reach of 9 feet 4 ½ inches and a wingspan that measured 7 feet 4 ½ inches.
He showed good perimeter ball handling during his workout, according to McDonough, and is comfortable shooting the NBA 3-pointer, giving him the potential to be a stretch four power forward.
Austin does need to add weight, though.
"Once I start getting older and once my body starts to catch up with me, I'll develop natural weight," he said of his listed 220-pound size. "I'm not going to just be a real bulky-type player. God made me slim so that's how I'm going to have to play."
The other players involved in the workout included Virginia guard Joe Harris, Iowa State guard DeAndre Kane, UCLA forward David Wear, Florida guard Scott Wilbekin and guard P.J. Hairston, a potential first-round candidate who spent last season playing in the D-League after repeated rules violations at North Carolina.
"His strength stands out," McDonough said of Hairston. "His ability to shoot the ball and create his own shot stands out in college and in the D-League."
Hairston averaged nearly 22 points shooting 45.3 percent in 26 games, including 15 starts for the Texas Legends.
"You had to adjust from being a child to an adult," he said of his pro experience. "It just taught me a lot, and also it prepared me more for the next level."

Disclaimer: I don't own P&P or Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot.
"Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her butt. It is. So. Big," Caro Bingley made no attempt to muffle her words as she pointed a long, manicured fingernail at a girl not five steps ahead of them in the crowded hall way leading to the cafeteria. Caro smirked at her best friend and ran her hand over her own tooth-pick-thin "figure," which was resplendently ass-less.
Lizzy archly ignored this comment and even cocked her hip a little in Caro's direction, continuing her lunch-hour conversation with a group of guys and girls she had met in the previous week's classes. As the new girl at Netherfield High school, Lizzy had found she made friends quickly and easily; and she had just as quickly discovered that Caro Bingley ruled, or thought she ruled, most of the upper class social scene. Although only a sophomore, Caro was often to be found hanging around with her older brother Charlie, a senior, and more importantly, his best friend Darcy. Darcy ignored her mostly, and Charlie bore his little sister's brattery with good grace and a crooked grin that endeared him to many of the girls at Netherfield High.
"Your brother is talking to her…and so are his friends…look, there's Kat and Fritha and Lacey and Greg and Jack and Hamish…and look! There's even Darcy!" replied Becky, tugging on Caro's Gucci handbag with one hand while absently twirling a lock of brutally-styled hair around her pinky on the other. Over-bright, she was not.
Caro tugged her bag out of Becky's grasp with an irritated huff of breath, exhaled between lips immaculately glossed in pale pink Revlon shimmer, and tossed her head of bright red curls while chomping viciously on her spearmint gum.
"They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, okay?"
"Even the girls?"
"GOD, Becky, shut UP!" screeched Caro, who then turned 180 degrees and smiled beatifically as she wedged herself between her brother and Darcy at the table the group was sitting at. "Hi Charliiiiiiie!" she squealed. "Oh!" She said, nudging Darcy with her hip and feigning surprise. "Darcy!" She laughed tinnily. "I didn't know YOU would be here."
"Well, I AM your brother's best friend…" said Darcy flatly, taking a swig of his Yoplait and staring determinedly into the middle distance.
"Darcy, you meanie!" Caro swatted him playfully across his chest, turning it into a caress. "You can eat whatever you like and not gain a pound…unlike SOME people," said Caro, turning to face Lizzy, who arched a brow and bit into her Chimi-changa with relish. "Me, I haven't eaten anything solid for weeks…you know, prom's coming up…"
With Caro's back turned to him, Darcy took the opportunity to catch Charlie's eye above Caro's head and mouth the words: "Fucking. Insane," with a small twitch of his chin in Caro's direction. Charlie snorted into his cafeteria spaghetti, and only after he had wiped tomato sauce from his chin and blown the grated cheese out of his nose did he reply to Caro's comment.
"What makes you think you'll be going to prom? You're only a…"
"Sophomore? I went last year, with Mark Emmanuel, didn't I?"
"He was drunk when he asked you and drunk when he took you," said Darcy darkly, unwrapping a tuna salad sandwich.
"He was DREAMY…" said Caro. Realizing a possible error in strategy, she turned back to Darcy, who only just managed to suppress his flinch-instincts. "Not that YOU aren't, Darcy." She patted his shoulder. "Don't go getting jealous over me…" Again, the cackle.
"What are you wearing to prom, Lizzy?" asked Becky, who was already an item with Greg, and therefore assured of her place at prom. "You're coming, aren't yo-OW!" Becky glared at Caro. "Why'd you stomp on my foot?"
"Foot slipped," said Caro sweetly, raising a slim leg up in the air, hooking her knee over Darcy's long-suffering shoulder. "These stilettos are MURDER." She said, placing heavy emphasis on the last word, upon which the hapless and to-be-pitied Becky did not pick up. Having been taught to politely try and include everyone in the conversation, she turned back to Lizzy:
"So, do you have a dress picked out?" Caro's leg came down from Darcy's shoulder with an unceremonious thud and a disgruntled snort masked as a sigh.
"I'm actually making mine…I learned to sew from my aunt, who—"
"Fancy that!" interrupted Caro. "I'm having mine made as well! Who's your designer?"
"Uh…myself, actually. I draw fairly good patterns, and I saw this dress in a 2004 catalogue that I think Id like to replicate with a few personal touches."
"2004?" repeated Caro, looking as scandalized as if Lizzy had announced her plans to attend the prom in full space-alien regalia. "Well I've got this DIVINE creation from Oscar de la Renta—a family friend, you know, he just did it as a favour to me—and it's practically backless and sheer. I won't be wearing any bra, and I've got this cute little black lace thong, but of course I might just have to go without…"
Silence fell at the table as if a bomb had exploded in the Chicken Eggplant Special Surprise.
"Right, well, I really should go to my next class…I had some algebra notes I wanted to go over with Mrs. Gardiner," said Lizzy, standing with her tray as she hitched her backpack over her shoulder. She turned to leave, weaving her way through the throngs of hormonal youth towards the door.
"As if SHE could ever wear anything but a burlap toga to cover her fat ass," spat Caro, glancing around the table, looking for approval of her apparent gem of wit, and continuing regardless: "I mean, her butt, it's just so BIG," she said, rolling her eyes with a scoff. "I can't believe, it's just so ROUND…it's like, OUT THERE, I mean, gross! Look!" she pointed to where Lizzy stood on the other side of the room, dumping the remains of her lunch into the trash bin.
Darcy chugged the last of his Yoplait and found his eyes inexplicably fastened on the very posterior which Caro was bent on ick-ifying.
Hmmm…he thought.
"I like big butts
and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tongue
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me so horny."
Whoa. Where did that come from?
Darcy shook his head to clear the backbeat as the bell shrilly rang in unison with Caro's incessant chatter, which had now faded to a tolerable-in-not-pleasant drone in the back of his mind.
"Yeah," he said loudly as he stood up, in denial of his own inclinations, "she's totally…a lard ass, uh-huh." He looked up only too see Lizzy standing right in front of him. His mouth dropped open and his tray nearly slipped from his hands. Caro chuckled wickedly, and Lizzy simply rolled her eyes and gave a small, patronizing smile.
"I forgot my binder," she said, grabbing it off the table. "Please excuse my fat ass," she said sweetly, hip-checking Darcy into the edge of the table, painfully, as she left, chatting in low tones with Kat, who joined in Lizzy's laughter at whatever the joke was. Darcy headed for his next class, wishing, for some reason, it was algebra.
Darcy hated math.
After school, Darcy unlocked his car and chucked his books into the passenger seat. As he slid behind the wheel, a flash of motion caught the corner of his eye, and before he could grind out a decent excuse, Caro had seated herself in the passenger seat after dumping his textbooks on the floor.
"Give me a ride home,
Darcy?" Though phrased like a question, it was no less a command,
coming from Caro. As Darcy turned the key in the ignition, his
miserably trapped gaze saw Lizzy Bennet passing in front of his car
as she made her way to the bus stop. He thought perhaps he should
offer her a ride home. After all, she didn't live too far from his
house…and to apologize for his rudeness…maybe make it up to her
"Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy…"
"Darcy! Start the damn car already!" Caro snapped at him, rolling down her window while she played with her bangles and swept a lock of hair back into place, putting on her glittery sunglasses.
A few days later, Darcy was studying for an algebra exam during his free period when Charlie slipped up beside him in the library.
"Hey, Caro 'forgot' her jazz shoes this morning and just sent me a text on my cell to see if I could bring them to her dance class. I promised Jane I'd meet her during my spare period, and I was wondering if you could just dash down and…"
"Yeah, sure, why not…" said Darcy, grabbing the shoes and shoving his books into his backpack.
Darcy opened the door to the high school girl's dance class to see everyone doing warm up stretches. Everyone wore sweats or shorts, but Caro was, of course, not to be outdone, and was the only one in a full leotard and legwarmers get-up. The black leotard was skin tight, and Caro pranced over to Darcy and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ohhhh you're such a sweetie to bring me my shoes! Do you want to stay and watch the class? You have a free period, don't you? You could help me do my stretches…" Again she hooked her knee over his shoulder.
"Is that even a real stretch move? Look, I think it's not such a good idea if I stay…" Darcy trailed off as he spotted Lizzy warming up with a couple of her friends, her back to Darcy. As he stared, she dropped into a stretch position where she was hugging the backs of her sweatpants-clad calves.
"Maybe just for a minute," said Darcy, swallowing a little as his throat suddenly seemed to be very dry.
"I've seen them
The hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!"
Darcy only managed to re-focus as Caro was treating him to a personal lap-dance until the teacher called her away to begin practicing the routine and shooed Darcy out of the room.
"This," he muttered, "has got to stop."
The doorbell rang at Darcy's house, and he swung open the door to reveal Charlie, Greg, Hamish, Jack, and a few other guys from their circle of friends.
"It's the Third Friday of the Month," yelled Charlie.
"You know what that means!" beamed Greg.
"You can thank my older brother for hooking us up with fake IDs," Hamish said proudly.
"If Becky finds out she'll kill me," said Greg, looking a little scared. "But one must uphold the tradition of…"
"FREAKY PORNO FRIDAY!" they all sang out in unison.
"Come on in guys," said Darcy. "Who brought the chips this time? There's Bud in the minibar downstairs."
Later, as Darcy and his friends sat watching 'Catholic Schoolgirls on Spring Break, Volume Four: Cowgirl Mania' and 'Tell Me Where It Hurts: Doctor Dixie Does Domination,' Darcy couldn't help his mind from wandering back to Lizzy Bennet. She was funny, kind, smart, not to mention pretty damn cute. She seemed to be everything that the girls on the screen were not. He could hardly believe that the blonde, buxom androids masquerading as women in the videos had once turned him on. By the time Hamish put 'All Anal, All the Way, All the Time; Volume Eight: Lonesome Housewives Strike Back' into the VCR, Darcy couldn't help but be slightly disgusted by the frankly obvious set-ups and cheesy one-liners.
"I like 'em round,
and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble."
"I'm confused," said Greg, Becky's mental counterpart. "One minute she's cleaning the toilet with the scrubber, then the repairman comes in and the scrubber just disappears…I mean, where did it go? Major plot hole is you ask me."
"Stop trying to be smart. Now is not the time to point out plot holes, Greg," said Charlie.
"Dude, the plot is not where the important holes are," said Jack.
"You can kind of see the scrubber handle at the bottom of the screen, whenever the repairman's ass moves out of the way," offered Hamish.
"I don't…ohhhhh!" said Greg, as realization hit him. "So they didn't get rid of it, he just stuck it…"
There was a moment of silence.
"Dude…do most chicks, y'know, go for that kind of thing?"
"No! Now shut up, dude!"
"If you ask me, porn and all that seems to just cheapen something that ought to be special…" said Darcy.
…Cue the chorus of crickets.
"Dude, Darcy…" Jack clamped his hands over the ears of the blow-up doll who sat on the couch between himself and Greg. "You're going to hurt Veronica's feelings."
After his friends left, Darcy found himself unable to sleep, so he quietly turned on the TV, switching the channel to MTV. Normally, this put him to sleep, but one of the girls had a face that was remarkably like to Lizzy's. He peered at the scantily clad dancer, but was oddly turned off by her fleshless gyrating. He turned it off and went to his computer, and clicked on Lizzy's name in his address book, opening a new e-mail. But what should he say?
"So I'm lookin' at
rock videos
Knock-kneed bimbos walkin' like hoes."
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna ----
Til the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! Yeah! Ladies! Yeah
If you wanna role in my Mercedes Yeah!
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".
"Shit, not again," said Darcy, shaking his head and pressing the delete key.
"Darcy! Guess who's got a date for Saturday night with Jane!"
"Hell yes!"
"Jane…isn't she the skinny chick from English class?"
"I wouldn't say skinny…slender, more like. Skinny sounds so unhealthy."
"She's cute, but a little…I think she could use some more curves."
"Look, she's got all the bits and pieces to make her a girl, and it's my preference, not yours. Jane's a tri-athlete, of course she's gonna be fit."
Darcy said nothing more.
"So your
girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt."
A week later, Darcy turned a corner at school in an empty hallway to see a red-eyed Lizzy slam her locker door and walk quickly away from him. Darcy called out, but she didn't turn around. He had to run to catch up with her, and only when he put a hand on her shoulder did she stop and face him; and even then she refused to make eye contact with him.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't see how it's any of your business."
"Look, I want to be your friend…" …and park my bike in your…now is NOT the time, Darcy's teenage libido..."…will you please tell me what's wrong?"
"I…I just…oh, it's stupid."
"Tell me." There was a superior tone that Lizzy wanted to archly beat down, but her roiling emotions needed to vent and her heart begged for someone to just listen to what she had to say.
"I…I asked Hamish if he wanted to go to the prom with me…"
"Oh." Darcy had a sudden, vague—nay, strong—urge to beat Hamish's ass. "And?" He tried to keep his tone light and noncommittal.
"He said no." Lizzy sniffled. "We were getting along so great, that I thought, maybe…" she shook her head. "But he's just like every other guy. He only wants a skinny supermodel like Caro to hang on his arm and give him a blowjob.'
"Not every guy wants Caro, or anyone like Caro…or a blowjob."
"Really?" Lizzy looked so hopeful.
"No, that's a lie."
Her face fell.
"Every guy wants a blowjob." Lizzy's face registered shock only a moment before she broke into a grin, her laughter still wet with her tears and interspersed with hiccups. For Darcy it was like the sunshine after the rain, and he suddenly felt like he would do anything if it meant he never had to see Lizzy cry that way again.
"I suppose that's true. Thanks Darcy. Thanks for cheering me up." She considered him thoughtfully. "You know, at first I thought you were being all too-cool-for-school, but you're surprisingly down-to-earth." Lizzy glanced at her feet and paused. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Do you think I'm fat?"
"Uh…no." Lizzy looked doubtful.
"Really? I read this article in Cosmo that told you how to measure your body fat percentage, and…"
"Lizzy, are you going to believe a magazine article that caters to the generic masses, or someone who is standing in front of you, someone who looks at you on a regular basis, someone who…cares about you."
Lizzy glanced at him, all at once surprised, confused, and uncertain.
"Some brothers
wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sista, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em."
Lizzy glanced at him, all at once surprised, confused, and uncertain.
"Y—what do you mean?"
"I mean…if you don't have anyone else to go with…would you…I mean, would you like to go to the prom? With me, I mean. Go to the prom with me. As my date. Together. Me, dating you, you, dating me. I'd really enjoy that."
Lizzy shook her head.
"Look, I'm sorry. Darcy, I really appreciate the pity offering and all, but honestly, I can't trust your opinion of me. What, one week I'm a lard-ass and now suddenly you wanna go out with me? I apologize if it just doesn't ring true with me."
"Lizzy, what do I need to do to get you to believe me when I say I like you for who you are, and whatever flaws you may have or think you may have, I like you in spite of them. I can't help it. I've tried to talk myself out of it, but I just can't, and of course it goes against all reason, but I just…like you."
Lizzy's face was impassive.
"In SPITE of my flaws, you 'can't help it,' you tried to talk yourself out of liking me? You know what? Fuck off, Darcy." Lizzy turned on her heel and went down the hall, soon turning a corner and disappearing from sight.
"What am I gonna do, Charlie?" said Darcy.
"There's only one thing you can do. Sacrifice yourself on the altar of humiliation." Charlie clapped his friend on the back. "Go to it."
The next day at school, Lizzy was sitting in homeroom, waiting for rollcall, and trying not to notice Darcy's conspicuous absence. Suddenly the PA shrieked with feedback, and as everyone started to swear with their hands clapped over their ears, a static-y voice filtered through the speaker.
"Uh, hello, Netherfield High. This is Darcy Fitzgerald, senior, and I have some announcements to make. So, here goes…" He cleared his throat. " Number One: I keep an online diary…well it's not a diary, it's a journal, really. Shut up, Greg." Greg sat up straight in his chair and stopped his sniggering and looked wide-eyed at the wall-mounted speaker and the disembodied voice of Darcy. "Number Two: At lunch-hour today, posted throughout the school for your viewing pleasure will be copies of a photograph of me, when I was 4, in my mother's high heels, miniskirt, and floral sunhat. Number Three: I wet the bed until I was 7. Number Four: I have sensitive skin, and therefore cannot wear many name-brand articles of clothing as they contain synthetic fibres or chemical dyes which irritate my skin."
Lizzy heard an ear-splitting shriek coming from down the hall. Room 149, which was Caro's homeroom. "Number Five: My favourite movies are The Princess Bride and Finding Nemo. Number Six: I have a strawberry birthmark shaped like a...well, like a dick, uh, on the back of my left leg. So, uh, now you all know a few of the most embarrassing things about me. These are really only the beginnings of my flaws, and mostly I am just making you all aware of them in the hopes that the girl I like…the girl I'm in love with…will like…love me back in spite of them. I'm hoping that she can maybe talk herself into loving me the way I love her…but if she really truly feels that she can't…then that's okay. I would never ask her to do anything she didn't want to, and I want her to know that I would never go after anything I didn't truly want with all of my heart. Thank you and have a nice day." There was a crackle, then dead air, then silence as Lizzy sat, stunned, in her chair. The bell rang, and everyone flowed out into the hallway for lunch, eagerly chattering about this latest scandal. Lizzy passed Becky, who was trying to comfort an overwrought Caro, who was sobbing, her makeup in streaks down her face, wailing.
"And after all the times I bought Armani for him!" she choked out. "I can't believe he would keep something like this from me!"
Lizzy continued down the hallway alone, and only stopped when she saw Darcy standing in front of her, a few feet away, facing her as the masses of students flowed around them like a river around two rocks. A few guys jeered at Darcy, who ignored them. A shy smiled lit Lizzy's face, and relief washed over Darcy in waves.
"How long…?"
"Ever since you hip-checked me…in the heart, as it were."
"I can't believe you admitted all that to the student body."
"Not to mention the faculty."
"You didn't have to…you could have e-mailed me or something."
"Well, I didn't…"
"Ever after?"
Darcy slipped his arms around Lizzy and kissed her. Lizzy wound one arm around his neck, and with the other hand she grabbed his hand and moved it so it rested on her behind. She smiled under his lips and he grinned as well, making them both laugh as he gave her healthy tush a quick squeeze.
"So ladies, if the
butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-DARCY'S-HOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!
Little in the middle but she got much back.
Little in the middle but she got much back.
Little in the middle but she got much back.
Little in the middle but she got much back."

Popular radio personality Don Imus told Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) this week that he's "delusional" for defending the new health reform law in the face of so much controversy.
"The majority of the American people don't like it, and all of the people I talk to think that it's not workable," Imus told Weiner on "Imus in the Morning" Wednesday. "But it's good to see that you're passionate about it, though delusional."
Weiner, one of the most vocal supporters of the reform bill passed by the Democrats in March, conceded that Republicans were politically successful this year "making demons" out of proposals whose individual provisions were popular with voters.
A large chunk of the economic stimulus bill, for instance, was dedicated to tax cuts, Weiner noted, while the central insurance reforms contained in the healthcare bill have also polled well.
"[Republicans] did a very skillful job, though, of taking these things that people like, packaging them, and make them into bogeymen," Weiner said.
Asked about some hospitals' claims that the health law will put them out of business, Weiner said the reforms might save those facilities instead.
"Right now, so many people are coming into hospital emergency rooms without insurance that you and I are paying the bill. And hospitals are closing," he said, adding that New York has seen 17 hospitals close in the last decade — before the new law was in place.
"It's much cheaper for us to provide subsidies for people to get insurance than keep providing them with healthcare and it not being reimbursed in any way," he said.
"Hospitals, perhaps, have the most to gain if we get this right."

Worldwide population surveys show that prevalence of mental disorders in developing countries was as common as in industrialized countries. College life is an important stage in every person's life; unfortunately, it may be the time to experience depression for the first time. Latterly, there has been a steady increase in the number of university students diagnosed and treated as depressed patients. This paper presents the results of a study carried out on a representative sample of undergraduate students of an Egyptian University, which aimed to study the relationship between social factors and the occurrence of depression. It was assumed that the poorer the socio-economic background the higher the rates of depression.
Data were collected in 2004 from students at Assiut University using the Zagazig Depression scale (ZDS) and an Egyptian socio-economic status measure. This analysis, based on a refined version of the ZDS used STATA (v. 10.1.). Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate regression models were used to test for associations with the dimensions of SES and depression.
Thirty-seven percent of the students had symptoms scored above the threshold for moderate depression. In the fully adjusted model: faculty of study, father's occupation, family income and number of persons per room were associated with depression in this sample.
The high prevalence of depressive symptoms among Egyptian students found in this study call attention to the need for a student counseling service offering mental health support. This service should particularly discover an approach for low affluence students.

Mohammed Badie', the supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, was arrested, Thursday, by Egyptian security forces, according to the government information agency. Opponents of ousted president Mohammed Morsi demanded the arrest of Badie' and his deputy, Khairat Ash-Shater, because of the deaths of eight demonstrators in clashes that took place outside the Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo.
Badie' and Ash-Shater were thought to be the real driving force behind Morsi's government.

DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged?
The best selection and very friendly and professional. They did everything they said they would and more. Easy to work with and good communication. Great selection of music, everything we wanted. They met with us before our wedding and we filled out a long planner. I felt like they really cared about what I wanted for my wedding day.
They kept everyone on the dance floor almost all night. Even my 88 year old grandmother who I've never seen dance did the cha cha slide!!!

Remember following him in last seasons camp and preseason. I think he got in two preseason games or so and he did some good things but for the most part looked out of place. He won't have a problem keeping the pace, it's going to be the size factor that's really going to be interesting to see. He'll try and be physical but he's got to be smart about it. Will be interesting to see how he does positionally in this system because its much more detailed.
If he gets in to open space he's got a great shot and one timer but in the corners battling will be an issue at this level unless he keeps his feet moving like Hags. He's got skill but I really didn't expect him to be up. This only would have happened due to injuries IMO and unfortunately it looks like we've gotten to that point (Nash, ugh).
He needs to take advantage of this opportunity for his career. Who knows maybe the Rangers can catch lightning in a bottle for a few games, especially if they use his bomb on the PP. But knowing Torts and this teams history, he'll be put out on the second unit, get 45 seconds of trying to gain the zone and won't get a chance to take a single one-timer because this team seemingly refuses to utilize the one-timer in any situation. and its largely due to the fact that they don't set each other up for them (correctly) often enough.
