When independentvoices.com was launched, we raised the memory of that great American conservative, Billy Buckley. Amol wrote: "Just as Buckley countered the view that the National Review was "superfluous", so independentvoices.com is not "a work of supererogation", precisely because it will champion ideas which are becoming very unfashionable. I believe that destiny is an illusion; progress is possible, humanity can shape History; and "reason", as Bertrand Russell put it, "may be a small force, but it works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife". We'll revel in the Enlightenment, and stand afore History, yelling Go!". Today, in the New York Times, is another wonderful defence of Buckley.
In 'Where Have You Gone, Bill Buckley?', David Welch argues: "The absence of a Buckley-esque gatekeeper today has allowed extreme, untested candidates to take center stage and then commit predictable gaffes and issue moon-bat pronouncements. Democrats have used those statements to tarnish the Republican Party as anti-woman, anti-poor, anti-gay, anti-immigrant extremists. Buckley's conservative pragmatism has been lost, along with the presidency and seats in Congress. Republicans must now identify those who can bring adult supervision back to the party. Replacing Buckley — an erudite and prolific force of nature — with one individual is next to impossible. But we don't need to. We can face the extremists with credible, respected leaders who have offered conservative policies that led to Republican victories."Reuse content

Does this mean we'll have to make a special place on Death Row for members of the Moral Majority?
Just when you thought "pro-lifers" couldn't get any more abhorrent — after the clinic bombings, the doctor shootings, the attempt at forcing a nine-year-old rape victim to give birth, and the general misogyny — they go and do something like this and totally redeem themselves.
And by "redeem" I mean that they show their true colors once again, and carve out a special place for themselves in Hell.
Because now they flat-out say that the so-called partial birth abortion ban is a good thing because it bans one of the safer later-term procedures — meaning that women who need later abortions will be more likely to face serious physical injuries that could kill them or make them sterile.
"The old procedure [standard D&E], which is still legal, involves using forceps to pull the baby apart in utero, which means there is greater legal liability and danger of internal bleeding from a perforated uterus. So we firmly believe there will be fewer later-term abortions as a result of this ruling."
Well. To quote Marty Lederman:
Got that? The Court upheld the law because the remaining unregulated procedure might be just as safe. Yet according to Focus on the Family, the remaining procedure is markedly less safe for the mother, and that's precisely why the law is a good thing — because it leaves in place only a procedure that carries a higher risk of danger of internal bleeding from a perforated uterus . . . which in turn leads to "greater legal liability" for the doctors, and, as a result, fewer abortions.
Score one for candor.
It should be pointed out that the procedure which is still legal is very safe — safer than most surgical procedures, and a hell of a lot safer than illegal abortion. So we shouldn't get ourselves into a panic over the idea that this procedure is unsafe, because that simply isn't true. What is true is that the banned procedure, wherein the fetus was removed in tact, was the safer procedure for some pregnant women, given their physical condition. It's abhorrent that "pro-life" groups and the Supreme Court took that option away. This will make abortion more dangerous for some women. But we should keep in mind that "more dangerous" is a relative term, and there's no reason to be under the impression that terminating a pregnancy is now a significantly risky endeavor.
That aside, it is incredibly telling that anti-choicers are excited about the prospects of women having their uteruses perforated just so doctors can be sued out of terminating pregnancies and the "pro-life" crowd can score some political points (hey, if shooting them didn't work, perhaps suing them into oblivion will).
And that's not all:
A Focus on the Family spokesman said that Dobson would not comment. But the organization's vice president, Tom Minnery, said that Dobson rejoiced over the ruling "because we, and most pro-lifers, are sophisticated enough to know we're not going to win a total victory all at once. We're going to win piece by piece."
The fact that they're trying to dismantle abortion rights piece by piece isn't exactly news, but they often try to play to the moderates by claiming that they're only pushing "reasonable restrictions" on abortion, not trying to totally take away your basic rights. Well, here's the admission that that's a huge lie. They are trying to totally dismantle abortion rights. And they aren't going to stop there. To all the ladies who think that you'd never have an abortion but still kinda like your birth control: You're next on the list. Because this isn't about saving babies or any of that — it's about gaining power and controlling women.
And since we were talking about "convenience" yesterday — how selfish sluts kill their babies because it's the convenient thing to do and whatnot — I'll include the full I-want-to-see-women-injured quote from a Focus on the Family rep:
Doctors adopted the late-term procedure "out of convenience," Minnery added. "The old procedure, which is still legal, involves using forceps to pull the baby apart in utero, which means there is greater legal liability and danger of internal bleeding from a perforated uterus. So we firmly believe there will be fewer later-term abortions as a result of this ruling."
Selfish asshole doctors, choosing a "convenient" procedure — clearly, they should take some responsibility, man up, and pick the procedure that is most likely to do harm to their patients. Because that's the pro-life way.
Kinda puts the whole "women have abortions for convenience" argument into perspective.
Welcome to the culture of life.

At the end of the red dirt road,
An old man sits on his porch.
A tattered American flag extends
From its splintered wooden stand.
The old man dreams of days gone by,
When his country was proud
And his life was simple.
He can't understand why we can't get along.
He doesn't understand the hatred.
How is it possible to hate someone you don't know?
How can you hate a country in which you've never been?
His only regret is having to separate himself
From a world he once loved.
He fought to defend his right to live free,
But now his freedom is gone.
With no job and no money he simply exists
On the land his grandfather gave him.
The country for which he would have given his life
Now denies he and others like him exist.
A man who has the right to hate
Does not have the ability to do so.
He spends each day on his own,
Letting the world live without him.

Wow, Wow, Wow. Just put the Six-Gun Bundle in last night at my brother's shop. Made some runs down a 1/4 mile street behind the shop. Wanted to make comparison on the newfound power so I ran the truck against a Porsche 944 Turbo that my brother was working on and I think I left him looking for some more power on the 944. He had some problems keeping up with me. This is the most impressive upgrade I have ever done on any of my vehicles. Thanks Banks for an excellent system.
The Six-Gun Bundle I installed is awesome! Best money I have spent on a performance upgrade bar none

Robert Carlo Mariano (born December 25, 1975), known by the nickname Boston Rob, is an American television personality, widely known for appearing in several reality shows, including Survivor, and The Amazing Race with his wife, Amber (Brkich) Mariano. In 2011, he won Survivor: Redemption Island and the $1,000,000 prize in his fourth appearance on Survivor.
Rob's Survivor performances have been met with mixed reception. Many consider him as the greatest Survivor player ever. However, many others criticize him for taking four attempts to win, for being a pre-jury boot 2 of his first 3 seasons, and even criticize his competition in his winning season of Redemption Island. He remains a polarizing figure to this day, but is also recognized as one of the most popular, well known, and talked about players in the show's history. In his four seasons on the show, Mariano never once appeared on the jury.
Personal life[edit]
Mariano was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, and raised in Canton, Massachusetts. He graduated Xaverian Brothers High School from 1996, where he played golf, softball, and hockey. In 1999, Mariano graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Boston University and began serving as the head coach of their inline hockey team.[1] At the time he first entered Survivor, he was a 25-year-old who was continuing to coach the hockey team.[2]
Mariano began a relationship with fellow reality TV contestant Amber Brkich in 2003, during their time filming Survivor: All-Stars.[3] They became engaged on May 9, 2004, during the show's live finale at Madison Square Garden in New York City,[4] and married on April 16, 2005 at Atlantis Paradise Island in The Bahamas.[5] CBS aired a two-hour special about the wedding, entitled Rob and Amber Get Married, on May 24, 2005.[5] After their marriage, Brkich took Mariano's surname, and the couple moved to Pensacola, Florida.[6] The Marianos have four daughters: Lucia Rose (born July 4, 2009),[6][7] Carina Rose (born December 10, 2010),[8][9] Isabetta Rose (born May 5, 2012),[10][11] and Adelina Rose (born June 20, 2014).[12][13]
He is a well known fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots.
During Survivor: Marquesas, Mariano fronted a highly successful opening alliance in his initial Maraamu tribe. A tribal swap in the fourth episode effectively denied him the control he enjoyed in his old tribe, as he was switched to the "new" Rotu tribe in which he was outnumbered by former Rotu members 5–3. Ultimately he was the first person voted out of the game when the tribes merged in the seventh episode. His original Maraamu tribe was outnumbered by members of the original Rotu tribe 7–3. Since the Rotu tribe thought that Mariano caused too much drama in camp and that he was the biggest threat of the remaining Maraamu tribe members (the others being Vecepia Towery and Sean Rector), he was the first Maraamu tribe member targeted.
In an attempt to save himself, Mariano had tried to warn Rotu tribe members Pascal English, Neleh Dannis, and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien about the Rotu Four alliance of John Carroll, Tammy Leitner, Zoe Zanidakis, and Robert DeCanio, but was unsuccessful (although he successfully planted seeds of suspicion that would lead to the remaining Rotu members and all the Maraamu members teaming up to turn on the Rotu Four the following Tribal Council). Prior to his elimination, he provided useful information to Vavrick-O'Brien about possible betrayal by former members of Rotu who were not switched during the tribal switch.
During Survivor: All-Stars, Mariano developed an early alliance which eventually developed into a romantic relationship with fellow contestant Amber Brkich. He was able to form a dominant long-term alliance with Rupert Boneham and Jenna Lewis, taking them all the way to the Final Four.
Early on, Mariano and Brkich agreed to form an alliance. After the game was underway, due to a twist that "absorbed" one of the three tribes, Lewis and Boneham joined the Chapera tribe. Mariano and Brkich quickly fortified a long-term alliance with the tribe's two new members. The Chapera tribe then enjoyed a lengthy winning streak, winning immunity the next three times. The group did lose one member, however, when Sue Hawk opted to leave due to an unpleasant encounter with Richard Hatch.
Later on, a tribal shuffle had every contestant switch tribes and camps, with the exception of Brkich, who remained on the Chapera tribe with Lex van den Berghe, Shii Ann Huang, Jerri Manthey, and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien. Chapera went on to lose the next challenge and Mariano bargained with van den Berghe to save Brkich in return for Mariano's help later down the road. Van den Berghe, Huang, and Vavrick-O'Brien saved Brkich and eliminated Jerri Manthey. In the following episode, the merge occurred, and Mariano voted to eliminate van den Berghe, going back on his promise. From there on, Mariano and Brkich managed to maintain several alliances; they were allied with Boneham and Lewis, with "Big Tom" Buchanan, and with Alicia Calaway. Mariano and Brkich proceeded through the game, eventually finding themselves in the Final Four with Lewis and Boneham after breaking ties with Calaway and Buchanan.
With four contestants remaining, Brkich won her first individual Immunity challenge, and she and Mariano convinced Lewis to vote out Boneham, reminding him that they would draw rocks otherwise, with a two-out-of-three chance that either she or her main ally Boneham would be eliminated anyway, and that none of the other three could beat Boneham in a jury vote should he reach the final. Mariano won the next and final immunity and chose Brkich to continue with him to the Final Two. Facing the jury, the couple met criticism for their aggressive and underhanded gameplay. Mariano took the brunt of the criticism, as he was seen as the leader of their dominant two-person alliance, and was deemed by the jury as the one with more blood on his hands. Meanwhile, Brkich admitted to being there partly by riding Mariano's coattails and letting him do more of the dirty work while she worked behind the scenes, but argued that her impressive overall social and underrated quiet strategic game was a key part of both getting to the finals together. She also seemed to get less blame by the jury for decisions she and Mariano largely made together, and thus wisely stayed somewhat in the background during the Final Tribal Council.
In the season finale several months later, the couple was revealed to still be dating. Just before the votes were read, Mariano proposed to Brkich and she accepted. Moments later, it was revealed that, in a 4–3 decision, Brkich had won the game. Mariano received votes from Lewis, Boneham and Vavrick-O'Brien. Despite having created one of the most hostile and bitter juries in Survivor history, Rob's immense skill and utter control and dominance of the game was recognized as he still very nearly managed the win. Shi Ann Huang (who was the one jury member to heap praise on both Rob and Amber's game play) was the largely undecided swing vote to which would be the winner, and ultimately sided with Amber due to being impressed by her Final Tribal answers. In the 19th season of Survivor; Survivor Samoa the runner up Russell Hantz had a similar experience.
Heroes vs. Villains[edit]
Mariano was a contestant in the 20th season of the show titled Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. He was a member of the Villains tribe, and was the de facto leader of the Villains until his right-hand man Tyson Apostol fell for a plot by Russell Hantz to give Parvati Shallow a fourth vote, rather than split the votes 3–3–3 between Hantz, Shallow, and Apostol as planned. Hantz shocked Mariano's six-person alliance by playing the idol on Shallow, rather than himself, and with her four votes negated by the idol, Apostol would be voted out with three votes to Hantz's two. This completely swung the balance of power in the tribe, and after a clash with Hantz, a switch in alliances by Jerri Manthey to the Hantz side, and Benjamin "Coach" Wade refusing to take a side and casting his vote for Courtney Yates, Mariano would become the eighth person voted out on a 4–3–1 vote.
Redemption Island[edit]
On January 13, 2011, it was announced that Mariano would compete in Survivor: Redemption Island as one of two returning players (along with Russell Hantz). This made Mariano the first person to play Survivor four times. Hantz was seen as a threat by his tribe (Zapatera), which intentionally lost an immunity challenge in order to vote him out. There was also intense distrust of Hantz due to his Heroes vs Villains performance. Mariano, on the other hand (perhaps even benefitting from his early boot on Heroes vs Villains, and the large gap in time since All Stars), made various strong alliances with most members of his tribe (Ometepe) and managed to convince his tribe that his experience was valuable and that he could be loyal. His 2 closest allies throughout the game- Grant Mattos and Natalie Tenerelli, were particularly undying in their extreme loyalty and at times blind trust towards him. As the game progressed he also managed to increasingly draw in the otherwise unpredictable disagreeable Phillip Sheppard, becoming by far Phillip's closest and most trusted ally, with Rob showing great care and social awareness in his handling of him. Ashley Underwood, Andrea Boehlke, Matthew Elrod also would be firmly on Rob's side through their entire time in the game, right up until Rob orchestrating their vote offs (2 different times for Boehlke and Elrod). Ultimately, his six-person alliance from his original tribe remained loyal to one another and they became the final six players remaining on the main island (although others remained on Redemption Island throughout the Game until Day 36).
Once the alliance began voting out its own members, Mariano managed to remain in the game and won the final immunity challenge, lasting the full 39 days. Despite being on a season of impressive athletes- former NFL player Grant Mattos, former Iraq War Veteran Mike Chiesl, Matthew Elrod who set a record for consecutive challenge wins on Redemption Island, and former female basketball star Ashley Underwood, Rob would end the season with 4 individual immunities, the most of anyone. Rob carefully orchestrated the blindsides of those he felt could beat him in a jury vote or a final 4 immunity challenge. First voting off the likeable Andrea Boehlke, who he worried had connections and respect by the jury due to her close friendship/ romance with Matthew Elrod (who had spent considerable time on Redemption Island with nearly every jury member), strong work ethic, and strong challenge play. Then after intended target Ashley Underwood's immunity win, blindsiding his closest ally Grant Mattos, likely the biggest jury and immunity threat of the entire Ometepe tribe, convincing him Natalie Tenerelli would be voted out that night instead, but being the swing vote to send Grant to Redemption Island over Natalie. Next upon Boehlke's return from Redemption Island, he eliminated her with the use of his immunity idol, and convincing his alliance to again stick with him; even though Boehlke had attempted to create an all girls alliance with Tenerelli and Underwood to eliminate Rob. Lastly, he removed Underwood, his only remaining possible threat for jury votes, by successfully convincing her best friend Natalie Tenerelli to vote her out, rather than force a firemaking challenge against Phillip Sheppard. He would successfully use his close bond and trust he had built with young Natalie, by convincing her of a potential rock picking tiebreaker (which had been eliminated roughly 6 years earlier on Survivor) should she vote for Phillip, and force a tie,[14] thus making her feel compelled to make the difficult decision of voting for Ashley along with Rob. This ploy was to not only ensure of Ashley's elimination, but likely lose Natalie the vote of Ashley by having her betray her with Rob (Ashley would vote for Rob to win the game). He would thus go to the finals with the heavily disliked Phillip Sheppard and the little respected and perceived coattail rider Natalie Tenerelli, finalizing the main plan he had set into place even before the merge. And while the jury consisted of a combination of former Ometepe members that Mariano had blindsided, and former Zapatera members who Rob had virtually ignored and who had been picked off one-by-one by Rob's cult like alliance, with no real options left who to vote for given the obvious goat level finalists, even a somewhat hostile and bitter jury awarded Rob a commanding win with 8 of a possible 9 jury votes (Ralph Kiser, the one jury member who Phillip had not lashed out and insulted during a hostile Final Tribal performance, gave Phillip his vote, due to a stated mutual respect for one anothers work ethic around camp). His game is not only often cited as one of the best examples of complete control ever seen on the show, but as perhaps the best ever execution of the increasingly popular "goat herding" strategy of modern Survivor, pinpointing and taking the weakest and most easily beatable opponents to the end. To this day Natalie and Phillip are regarded as 2 of the biggest and most obvious goats ever seen on Survivor, let alone to make the finals, and Rob's skill, care, and ability to bring two such weak and poorly liked individuals to the end is highly praised. His ability to correctly identify the biggest goats of a game is also widely admired, particularly when so heavily contrasted to archrival Russell Hantz's inability to not only keep the respect of a jury as Rob can, but to accurately judge the weakest opponents to bring to the end as Rob does. However, many fans criticize Rob for having no competition the entire season, and criticize his tribemates for being too starstruck to act against Rob. Some fans also criticize him for probably having been unable to beat anyone other than his 2 ultimate goats and just possibly the final boot Ashley (based upon cast interviews, amongst other indicators). The jury has also largely indicated Phillip Sheppard could have beaten him had he followed through with his plan to reveal he had purposely played the villain role to get taken to the end by Rob, and in doing so had duped Rob and his entire alliance, owning his game plan. Instead he lashed out angrily at the jury including telling hostile jury member Julie Wolfe "to hell with you", gave complete credit to Rob for his game and place in the finals, and thus receiving only 1 vote and ceding Rob an easy victory.
At the reunion, Mariano was declared the winner in an 8–1–0 vote, with Sheppard receiving the one dissenting vote from Kiser. Additionally, Mariano won the viewer-voted $100,000 "Sprint Player of the Season" award over runner-up Elrod, with 40% votes to Elrod's 36%. On Day 22 of Redemption Island, Mariano became the fourth person to play Survivor for 100 days, following Amanda Kimmel, Parvati Shallow, and Rupert Boneham, and ultimately surpassed Shallow for most days survived, with a total of 117. His performance in Redemption Island at the time was gushed upon by longtime show host Jeff Probst as the "most perfect game of Survivor ever."[15]
In an eerily similar situation to Lex van den Berghe from All-Stars, Grant ended his friendship with Rob post game due to Rob's voting him out, a situation which was confirmed at the Reunion show. Although the two had tried to salvage their friendship, only stopping to talk entirely in March 2011, 6 months after filming completed and 2 months prior to the Reunion.[16] As of late 2016, an ever-optimistic Rob still speaks of having hope to make amends with either or both Mattos or Van den Berghe someday in the future, however. Although still not in contact, Rob and Lex ran into one another at a Survivor related fundraiser in early 2016 and were cordial to one another, even posing a couple times for pictures. As of October 2016 Grant and Rob have had no personal contact of any kind since the Reunion show however.
In addition to Amber, he remains particularly close friends with Tyson Apostol, Natalie Tenerelli, Peter Harkey, Sean Rector, from his 4 Survivor seasons, and also keeps in contact with and continues relationships with Courtney Yates, Phillip Sheppard, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Parvati Shallow, and Benjamin "Coach" Wade.
The Amazing Race[edit]
Season 7[edit]
As an engaged couple, Mariano and his fiancée Amber Brkich participated in the seventh season of The Amazing Race and came in second place. During a Roadblock challenge in Mendoza, Argentina, in the third leg of the race, contestants had to eat four pounds of meat. Mariano began the roadblock but very quickly determined he would not or could not eat that quantity. The penalty for not finishing the Roadblock was a four-hour delay. By convincing several other contestants to refuse to participate, he ensured that several contestants were on the same timetable as he and Brkich. Also in South America, Mariano pooled his money with some other racers to bribe the bus driver into letting the teams that contributed off earlier. When he bribed the driver, he used none of his own money.
In Botswana, during the sixth leg of the race, the couple was criticized by fellow racers, as well as host Phil Keoghan, when they drove by the car accident of another team, brothers Brian and Greg, without stopping. Their fellow competitors all checked in with the brothers prior to continuing on to the next stage of the race. In southern Africa, Mariano and Brkich saw their own photo on a magazine cover.
Mariano and Brkich ultimately finished in second place behind married couple, Uchenna and Joyce. Amongst fans, there has been much speculation surrounding the final leg of the race. It has been argued that the production crew had intervened with the airport authorities and aided Uchenna and Joyce onto the same, earlier plane as Mariano and Brkich. In the "Revisiting the Race" special feature on the Season 7 DVD, Mariano, along with Uchenna and Keoghan denied these accusations. Mariano describes Uchenna running around frantically trying to get onto the flight, which the final edited version of the show does not portray. Keoghan cites the fact that the decision to re-open the door rested solely with the pilot, and that intervention by the production crew would have resulted in someone leaking such information out. Although Mariano and Brkich lost the one million dollar grand prize and "The Amazing Race 7" winners' title at the final leg of the race, they managed to place 1st in the 2nd, 4th, 7th and 10th legs. They were also the only team to not come in last place on any legs of the race.
The Marianos later competed in the All-Stars season of The Amazing Race, which began airing in February 2007. Their racing status was listed as "newlyweds." While they had set a record for the Race, coming in first place for the first three legs, they were eliminated on the fourth leg.
Additional television appearances[edit]
Between their two appearances on The Amazing Race, Mariano and Brkich filmed a 10-episode show for the Fox Reality Channel, Rob and Amber: Against the Odds in 2006, which aired the following year. Set in Las Vegas, the program follows Mariano's attempts to become a professional poker player and features professional player Daniel Negreanu tutoring him. The series ended with Rob and Amber Mariano accepting an offer to appear on The Amazing Race: All-Stars and the odds of professional poker career waned.
He also appeared in the "All-Stars" episode of Canadian show Reality Obsessed, hosted by Murtz Jaffer and won first place in a competition that pitted him against James Zinkand (Big Brother 9 (US)), Jen Parker (The Amazing Race 12), and Jennifer Hoffman (The Apprentice (U.S. TV series)).

About Us
LiteracyCNY Mission, Vision, and Values
LiteracyCNY, formerly Literacy Volunteers of Greater Syracuse (LVGS) was founded by Ruth J. Colvin in 1961. Mrs. Colvin read an article in the local paper indicating there were more than 11,000 adults in Onondaga County who were "functionally illiterate," and wondered why nobody did anything about it. So she did! Ruth developed a tutoring method in partnership with colleagues at Syracuse University, and that initial effort grew into Literacy Volunteers of Greater Syracuse. Through Church Women United, the Literacy Volunteers movement spread across New York State, and eventually, the national organization, Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. was founded in 1972.
LiteracyCNY Mission: To provide adults in Central New York with the literacy tools and skills that they need to be contributing, productive, and engaged members of the community. We do this by advocating for adult education, providing instruction, and partnering with other community based agencies. Improving Adult Literacy makes our community stronger.
LiteracyCNY Vision: A fully literate Central New York.
LiteracyCNY Values:
Respecting all community stakeholders, including students, volunteers, and colleagues;
Partnering and collaborating to strengthen community capacity;
Focusing on individual student learning goals; and
Providing leadership and advocacy for adult literacy.
LiteracyCNY reserves the sole right to determine who is eligible for its instructional programs.

Sorry for not replying... I had to finish my master's thesis... But I am back!!! :D Keep telling me if a new ep of Hetalia is out... :-)
Hmm, what an interesting system. Well I tend to get the terms mixed up 'cause every country has it's own school system ^^
You should. They're totally awesome! I got addicted to them >w< Me and my friend are going to be playing this one game this summer when we have more free time. The problem is, we don't have enough teammates. We can't find anyone at school that would be willing to join us. That's why I thought that I should extend my patrolling area a bit ^^
Well, at least you'll sweat the extra calories off >.> I just don't wanna turn into an ice popsicle
Well yeah, but you'll be okay as long as you don't go near them or look them in the eye. Simply put: Ignore them. ^^''
Yeah :D Natsu, Gray and Erza are the best! Honestly, Fairy Tail is the only thing I haven't got tired of yet. It's annoying to wait for new chapters though T^T
Okie dokie ;3 I'll try read them when I have time. I just thought they would be one those boring doujinshis where the fans don't know what else to draw about than that...uhh...you know the three-lettered-word...I don't like using it even if it's the other word for gender...
Awesome! I added u too :D
Thanks so much for the comment :D I love one piece and naruto too :D
I'm turning 17 this summer ^^ I was talking about the age where you start elementary school. In Finland, kids start studying at the age of 7. Elementary takes about 6 years, middle 3 and from there you can choose to go to either vocational school or high school. Dunno much about vocationals schools, but high school takes about 2-4 years. Usually people study only for 3 years. After that it's usually polytechnic or university
Yeah ^^ I haven't noticed any words either
Hehe, btw, do you play any mmorpgs? :o
Trust me, it's so cold here that you'd rather feel like dying than going outside. Or well, at least that's how I feel. I wish it was summer already so it would be really warm. I don't wanna wear meter thick clothes D:
Hehe ^^ it's kind of stereotypic, but yeah, we DO have a lot of drunkards wandering around the city ^^''
Yeah I can see that :) it really is frigging funny XDDDD but my favorite anime/manga is still Fairy Tail >w<
Are those online strips something like doujinshis? o.o

Build Your Own Numerology Chart: Part IX
Your Outer Personality number - also called Personality number, is derived from the consonants of your full name. Numerology views your Personality like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It is those aspects that you feel comfortable sharing with people at the outset of a relationship. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature; you reveal more of who you really are, in effect, your Heart's Desire, Expression, and so on.
Your Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what you send out, as well as what you allow to approach. It discriminates in the kinds of people and information you let enter your heart and mind. For this reason, your Personality is usually much more narrow and protective in its definition than the real you. It can screen out some of what you do not want to deal with - people or situations - but it also welcomes those things that immediately relate to your inner nature.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this narrow entrance is the first impression people get of you. It either welcomes and intrigues them, or it causes them to lose interest.
Your Personality number indicates how others perceive you. This is no easy task. No one can be objective about himself or herself. Even our closest friends and relatives have trouble describing how they see us. Numerology gives us a general understanding of the image we are projecting. That image is called the Personality number.
How to Find Your Personality number as you build your numerology chart
Add only the consonants of each name and reduce to a single-digit. Next, add the resulting numbers and reduce to a single-digit.
The numerical value of the consonants is placed below the full name.
The number in the square is the Personality number.

Giant Sequoia Trees Face "Drying" Times
"A mature Giant Sequoia can use 500-800 gallons of water every day during the summer," said Anthony Ambrose, a tree biologist at U.C. Berkeley. "That's a lot of water necessary for just one tree."
For the first time in at least 125 years, Giant Sequoias in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California are showing significant amounts of "dieback" in their foliage due to several years of drought.
The U.S. Forest Service contributed emergency funding to a collaborative research project involving scientists from U.C. Berkeley, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, U.S. Geological Survey, and Carnegie Airborne Observatory to examine the effects of the current historic drought on Giant Sequoias.
If they get adequate water and nutrients, Giant Sequoias can live to be well over 3,000 years. They are the largest single-stem tree species in the world, with respect to wood volume and mass, and they grow best in a climate of snowy winters and dry summers. A big decline in snow pack in California over the last few years is a major reason for the observed dieback.
"What's happening above ground is only half the picture," noted Ambrose, one of the lead scientists on the project. He wants a much better handle on how below-ground conditions correlate with what they see above ground. For example, scientists do not yet know why a tree near a wet meadow can show dieback while a tree on dry ridgetop looks green and healthy.
Ambrose and his colleagues intend to construct a "vulnerability map" for the Giant Sequoias using a combination of traditional ground-based monitoring and data collected aerially by the Carnegie Airborne Observatory. The map will reveal which stands of trees are the most susceptible to drought conditions, allowing managers to prioritize those stands most in need of prescribed fire, mechanical thinning, or other treatments.
Prescribed fire is the most cost-effective way to remove brush and tree species that compete against the Giant Sequoias for limited water and soil nutrients; the sequoias' thick bark protects them from fire while species that grow in their shade, such as white fir, go up in flames. Irrigation is another potential management tactic, although practical constraints will necessarily limit its application to small isolated areas.
"Obviously, given the water needs of Giant Sequoias, we cannot water an entire forest during periods of extended drought," Ambrose said.

Preserving the Red Woods has to be priority ONE! Yes research into the basic reasons for the decline is important but if it's global warming we need to Stop and solve that also! Could reseeding the trees to higher elevations be an answer?
So if we can build a pipeline for oil, why in the heck wouldn't we build a pipeline to save our forests and maybe, just maybe, save ourselves in the process. BUILD A "WATER" PIPELINE FROM NEW YORK TO SAN DIEGO, AND START NOW!
One mature giant sequoia uses 500-800 gallons of water a day that will seriously effect our water supply, doesnt seem to make sense…
And that is a pipeline for oil…not water…where would we plan on getting the water from? Unless we can develop an extremely fast and cheap way to convert salt water; but then we would be seriously depleting our oceans…
It is a matter of $$. If industry can build petroleum and gas pipelines all across the US, the govt. could as well. Requires resolve. Source the water off of the reservoirs on the upper Missouri River. Sure this was probably looked at. Hard to get the $2 billion or more funded I suppose.
I wonder the importance of cloud-water input to this ecosystem. Since this big tree also absorbs water by foliage uptake, it is very possible decline cloud-water level that has an influence.
The situation definitely required immediate action. It is disheartening to hear that the Giant Sequoia trees are facing crown dieback. This magnificent tree species needs to be preserved. We hope scientists and arborists identify the reason for drying and measures to handle it best.

In the Heat of the Night is a 1967 film, based on the John Ball novel published in 1965, which tells the story of a Northern Black police detective who becomes involved in a murder investigation in a racist small town in Mississippi. It won the Academy Award for best picture in 1967.
When a wealthy man planning to build a factory in Sparta, Mississippi, is murdered, Police Chief Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) is pressured to find his killer quickly. Northerner Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), passing through, is picked up at the train station with a substantial amount of cash in his wallet. Gillespie, heavily prejudiced against blacks as he is, jumps to the conclusion he has his culprit, but is embarrassed to learn that Tibbs is a respected Philadelphia homicide detective who had been visiting his mother. After this racist treatment, Tibbs wants nothing more than to leave as quickly as possible even though his captain recommends he stay and help, but the victim's widow (Lee Grant) is impressed by the detective's expertise clearing another wrongly accused suspect of the crime and threatens to stop construction on the much-needed factory unless he leads the investigation. Gillespie then talks Tibbs into lending his services. Despite the rocky start to their relationship, they come to respect each other as they are forced to work together to solve the crime.

I want to know if my sentence makes sense.
She waved her hair at me.
I mean by the sentence that she used her hand to sway her hair in my direction but I don't know if the sentence makes sense like this.
3 answers
I think it makes sense, but wave may give the impression that she held it and waved it back and forth.
Based on your description "flicked" might be a better verb.
If you feel like going Don Juan;
"She flicked her hair coquettishly in my direction."

Bees may have an unexpected positive impact on soybean yields, despite the crop's ability to self-pollinate.
"They are going to the flowers, but we don't know yet what that means for the plant," said Matt O'Neal, a Iowa State University entomologist whose team discovered that 20% to 25% of bees carried soybean pollen. "The challenge is to see whether they affect yield. There is some evidence in scientific literature that they may improve yields."

- Grip (76A) = Ideal for skaters 170lbs and below
- Grip Plus (78A) = Ideal for skaters 170lbs and above
- Designed for indoor use
- Standard 608 Hub
- Available in 72mm, 76mm and 80mm
- Price per Wheel
By Cp from Usa on November 19, 2014
Thinking of buying these. Starting roller hockey in a week. Want something that's going to last. So my question is: is there a difference between these and the yellow ones As far as performance? I can see there's a price difference. Also, want to be sure I get the right durometer thinking of going with 76a but am worried it might nothave enough grip for stops and tight turns for me. I'm 175, so I'm right on the median and am worried about them "sinking" in the court too much if I get 74a. What should I do? I've also heard that you can go harder in the back where the thrust come from and softer in the front for turns. Would you recommend that? Sorry if that's too many questions.
By Customer Service on November 19, 2014
Answer:There's no difference between the Yellow/White and the White/Black/Green wheels except for the color. The price difference is due to the bulk discount we received on the White/Black/Green wheels based on the amount we purchased from Labeda.
The Addiction wheels provide as much if not more grip than any other wheels on the market, so don't let the 76A Rating concern you much. I'm 165 and I use 76A Wheels with absolutely no trouble.
Personal preference certainly plays a role in deciding whether you want to go with softer wheels, such as 74A, which is an option for you, but some of the more aggressive skaters find that 74A is too flexible for them, particularly when stopping or making tight turns. But again, it comes down to personal preference.
If you're playing on indoor sport court, whether you go with 76A or 74A wheels will not have much of an impact on the grip you get from the wheels - the only difference, which is negligible at the weight of 175 lbs, would be the flexibility of the wheels.

The performance of this pack has been unbelievable. Durable, comfortable, versatile...it was a great. I bought this pack in 1994. Anyone have an older one? Mine, I must say, is worn out.

The REI Hang Time Chair is extremely comfortable and ideally suited to car camping. It is one of those chairs that everyone will be trying to sit in, so lay claim to it early—if it belongs to you. I have covered my impressions of this chair pretty well in the pros and cons list. I don't have much else to add other than the fact that inserting the backrest tubes can take a little bit of effort for someone that is not mechanically inclined. But not a problem for the most part.

Gemini 50L Pack
Interesting hybrid pack-on-a-pack design; don't ignore the volume potential between the two packs. One of my two go-to packs; the other is a Mountainsmith Ghost. Not cutting edge for 2016 any more, but somehow a few years back I got out of the "buy new packs every year" mode. For longer trips—more than three days—or trips where I might camp and then day hike, this one is the one I carry. If you're a packrat, and you see one of these for a price that seems reasonable, consider buying it. Full review

I bought this tent in 2010 and used it every single weekend 51 weeks a year for three years. It gets the job done. I've owned a few four-season tents and at MSRP price point this one is the best. It's shame it was discontinued. I've camped this tent in every season here in Colorado. For a few years there it was out 51 weekends a year. From that I can tell you that it's really durable. I can also tell you that from 50+mph winds to 12" of wet snow to driving rain it will come through like nothing… Full review

[PHOTO] Dietes Pic | Tue, 30 Jul 2002 16:35:06" />
I got a new digital camera (Canon S40) a few days ago, and have been
wishing I had some iris to photograph, but no rebloom going on.
So, here's an irid. It blooms off and on all year.
Rather pretty, for something that can be plopped in the ground and
ignored for many years.

The outside of me is a world thats gone crazy,
there is nothing good to see
Its a disaster, all the evil is taken over even more faster.
Everyone lives on Alcohol & Dope,
this world has no more hope.
Men are abusing their wemon, cheating, & lying.
Keeping them broken hearted & always crying.
The outside of me, its very dark,
this whole world is falling apart.
This disease called Depression, has taken over
& now no one believes in being sober.
People are becoming more angry & more in pain
day by day.
This place is gettin even more insane.
All around, you see sadness,
& this world that is a complete madness.
When will there come a light to guide them the right way?
Why would anyone want to stay in this shape,
where there is no escape?
Its whats dragging this world down,
you'll find dope that will be easily found.
Alcohol easily stolen out of the liqour stores.
Everyone just keeps wanting more.
I just wish we all could start over to way before we were born,
& make a new start.
& have all the care & love in our hearts.
Thats how the outside should be,
from the outside of me.

You know what Carlee, I do agree with you that the world we are living in is full of darkness, schemes, lies, sadness you name it. But there is nothing we can do to stop this, all we can do is believe and have trust to God that He alone can change everything. I don't despise the people around me who do wrong, we are human beings and we were meant to fall, lie, sin, etc.... All we can do is love one another, help a friend, to get back up on her/his feet, who has fallen. Lead them to the right path. Some questions could be answered by men, but there is some that only God holds the answers.
Wow !!! I loved this very much
Great job again! I agree it's sad, and it's hard when all you want is for things to be better.
I love ur poem. I like ur style of writing.
