A lot has happened since we last spoke with Jimmie Allen and Nate Woodall, better known as Colour of London! The guys have accomplished so much in 2013, such as the creation of their logo, website, and two successful North American tours. We wanted to give fans an exclusive look at what's been going on with "the voice of Alex and Ani" as they prepare for what's next.
2013 has been quite a year of growth for you guys! Tell us a little about it.
It has been a major year for us in terms of growth. This time last year we were just planning to record songs as Colour of London for the first time. We essentially didn't have any recorded music besides demos and home studio recordings…no website, no music videos, and very few shows as a band. There wasn't much public physical evidence that Colour of London existed! The past year has been great and we were able to record our first EP, release music, and start building a fan base through touring, our website, and great social media team!
Congratulations on the release of your EP! How has the response been?
Thank you! So far so good! It was just released on iTunes and Spotify in November but we've been playing the songs from the EP for the past several months touring and people seem to really enjoy them.
You went on a retail acoustic tour earlier this year. How did that go?
Great! We'd been used to playing loud shows with a full band and this was the first time we'd played in such intimate spaces with people a few feet (or a few inches sometimes) away from us. We were able to really hear and focus on playing the songs dynamically in these settings. It gave us an opportunity to try out a lot of new material and even experiment with older songs and covers. The tour was 5 weeks long and took us up and down the entire east coast. It was a tough schedule to keep at times, but it was an amazing experience that really helped us grow and solidify as a band.
Your Northeast fall tour stopped at venues such as The Met in Providence and Brighton Music Hall in Boston. How was this different from other tours?
They were music clubs where people came to hear and discover new music. The retail tour was fantastic but most of the people who saw us on that tour were there to shop, then stopped to listen as opposed to just being there for a show.
What can we expect from Colour of London in 2014?
More shows, more songs, and more recording! We are in the process of refining our sound both live and in the studio so that's always an exciting time for a band. As the year progresses, we'll be looking to record another EP and play a lot more shows in 2014. This past year has been a solid block in the foundation we're building. Our goal as band is to continue to improve as writers and musicians and to keep making music that has the ability bring something positive to the ears of the listener!

Putin decries protesters, says election results stand
MOSCOW – After more than three weeks of public protests over fraud allegations in Russia's parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made clear that he will not accede to one of the principal demands of demonstrators.
There will be no re-vote, he said Tuesday in televised remarks.
"The elections are over … and the Duma (the parliament's lower house) is functioning," Putin declared. "All talks about any revision (of the election results) are impossible."
Putin, who is seeking a return to the presidency in March elections, also lashed out at leaders of the ongoing protests, saying they "display their weakness by resorting to insults." At a Moscow rally last weekend attended by tens of thousands of protesters, Putin was the main target of often derisive comments by speakers who vowed to drive the former two-term president from power.
"They don't have a unified program, they don't have a unified vision of which means to use to achieve their goals, which they have yet to formulate, and they don't have people," Putin said. "I can hardly imagine that any of them can do any concrete work to develop our state."
Yet despite Putin's tough rhetoric, the Kremlin continues to make concessions to the opposition. On Tuesday, Vladislav Surkov, one of the main targets of the opposition's anger, was transferred from his key position on the presidential staff to a government post as vice premier in charge of modernization.
Nonetheless, opponents, who charge that the election results in which Putin's United Russia party received nearly 50 percent of the vote were fraudulent, continued Tuesday to demand his ouster.

With increasing moisture, rain chances will increase towards evening Thursday with some thunder possible at night and especially Friday. Severe thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon as a strong cold front sweeps across the area. Temperatures will be above normal for this forecast period with highs around 70 Wednesday and in the 60s Thursday and Friday.

Nairobi's Failure to Protect Pedestrians
Taking a walk in the tropics is not an easy task. The skies are clear, sun is burning and temperatures are high. This is even harder in urban centres that experience slightly higher temperatures due to buildings, asphalt, and industrial activities; better known as the 'urban heat island effect.'
Walking, however, remains a very popular mode for people on the move in the City of Nairobi. Approximately 48 % of Nairobi residents walk to work. Most of these belonging to the lower income segment of the population, and may walk up to 7 to 15 Km a day.
Sadly, up to 47% of road fatalities in Kenya are pedestrian deaths. Pedestrians also suffer injuries and permanent disabilities as a result of road accidents. Stories of innocent pedestrian deaths are not strange in the city.
Pedestrians in Nairobi appear to lie last in the urban planning priority order. A survey conducted by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) found that in Nairobi there was little segregation of vehicles from pedestrians. It stated that 95% of the roads recorded high pedestrian flows yet only 20% had pedestrian footpaths. Pedestrians fight for space with drivers who at times drive on pavements during traffic jams. Walking routes are also blocked by waste, informal businesses and, at times, parked vehicles. The rainy season brings its own challenges, with these same drivers mercilessly splashing water on pedestrians. Oftentimes when roads are repaired little attention is given to the pavements, leaving them either dusty or muddy.
The highly acclaimed 8-lane Thika Superhighway was completed in 2012 without a single pedestrian crossing. Several pedestrian deaths forced the authorities to take action, first constructing speed bumps as they drew plans for pedestrian bridges. On the equally busy Mombasa Road, it was only last month that construction of a pedestrian footbridge began, in spite of the appalling pedestrian safety record of at least one death a day.
At times the pedestrians also have themselves to blame, with many of them ignoring footbridges to dangerously dodge vehicles as they cross roads. The City Governor was right when he blamed citizens for being lazy and putting their lives at risk. However, the city design still ought to be done in favour of citizens and not vehicles.
On the positive side, some of recent road construction has seen better emphasis on pedestrian walkways with pedestrians protected from motorists by drainage streams. The media have also held road safety campaigns, but there may also be need for emphasis on rules or guidelines for pedestrians.
When will we realize that pedestrians have equal rights as vehicles? What can we do to make our city safer for pedestrians?

Pedestrians have to fight for almost anything to improve safety and walkability. Just plain stupid in the age of climate change when we need to get everyone back on their feet. I average 12 miles a day in Providence RI and can not even get the bike/walk conference to discuss real safety issues. And Rhode Island drivers are the worst in the US. But we are much safer than it appears to be the case in Nairobi.

New Route Boosts Hydrogen Storage
Route promises to bolster prospects and avoid cost and byproduct issues.
An electrochemical process to make aluminum hydride (alane) promises to bolster prospects for the "hydrogen economy." The route avoids the cost and byproduct issues that have plagued production of the solid, say its developers — researchers at the Savannah River National Laboratory, Aiken, S.C., of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Development of the hydrogen economy depends upon efficient and cost-effective hydrogen storage. Storing the fuel as a solid instead of as a liquid or gas promises safety and cost advantages. Several solids meet or exceed the gravimetric or volumetric performance targets set by the DOE for storage but not many provide the thermodynamic and kinetic properties necessary to release hydrogen when needed and then permit economic reloading of the fuel. Alane has the desired properties but regenerating the material has posed technical and economic challenges, note the researchers.
"We believe our research has provided a feasible route to regenerate aluminum hydride, a high-capacity hydrogen storage material," says Ragaiy Zidan, lead researcher on the project. "Our process is cheaper than chemical methods of making alane."
The process uses electrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation of spent aluminum to produce alane at ambient conditions (Figure 1). The electrolysis reaction takes place in a polar solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, while commercial titanium catalyst speeds the hydrogenation. The researchers describe the technique more fully in a recent paper in Chemical Communications.
So far, experiments have been conducted at bench scale (3–4 grams/run) in an inert atmosphere and have involved one regeneration cycle, says Zidan. The catalyst should last around 500 cycles, he believes.
"The biggest challenge is the energy needed to separate alane from the solvent," Zidan explains. "We have immediate plans to change conditions for more-optimum use of energy in regenerating alane. The work is ongoing." The researchers hope that industry will play a role in further developing the technology.
The approach also may suit other applications. "Alane adducts could be used for hydrogen storage or depositing aluminum films on optical and electronic devices, which is useful for industry. The electrochemical method makes it easy to produce these alane adducts," notes Zidan, who adds that the researchers are working on different aspects of adducts.

Why can't i convert to a user app in link2sd
i keep on trying to find out how to increase the amount of free internal memory, so today i rooted my phone and installed link2sd and i managed to link 3 apps totaling in about 1mb of free space. so i tryed converting some system apps like youtube or browser and it just says [ISTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INST
ALL_LOCATION] so my question is WTF why can't i get more than 9 damn mb on my internal memory. unless you root and do all this crap you literary cannot make the low memory warning go away. and it renders the phone useless because you cant text or use the web. so how can i fix this please.
Re: Why can't i convert to a user app in link2sd
The system partition is not part of the data partition so even if you moved those apps it would not add anymore space for downloaded apps. You best bet would be to flash a custom recovery and install one of the IHO ROMs that support either an ext3 or ext4 sd-card partition, and from there you can install one of many scripts that use that as your phones internal storage.
I have one that is really good and well share it with you after you read the stickies about flashing ROMS and Custom Recoveries.

Re: Why can't i convert to a user app in link2sd
[HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM and flashed a recovery image and im about to flash a rom could you please give me the link to the rom/ how to use those scripts you mentioned
Re: Why can't i convert to a user app in link2sd
Okay, the one that I have it comes stander on my my OM IHO ROM, and I do have a flash zip that you install through recovery as well. If you are using another IHO ROM the zip would be the best way to install the script as there are files that have to be removed or replace.
With the script there is no need to do anything, just flash and reboot.
The second partition must be ext4 and swap set at 0, and my rule of thumb for second partition is no more then 10% for a class 6 or higher, a class 2 should not be partitioned. The reason is sdcards are flash memory and partitioning of flash memory shortens the life of the card.
[ROM][IHO] *** OM_MLS2.2.2..........[updated & rebuilt]
Read the installation instructions to understand what the script does and how it works, and what you need to do to use it. If you are happen with you ROM then PM for the recovery install zip.
Please note the Stock ROMS or Custom Stocks are not compatible.

But are you saying that 800MB is not enough space for apps?

Here's how she looks with the new striping:
The leftmost lane allows drivers to turn left or go straight – this seems like a mistake to me, but, then again, lots of things the SFMTA does seem like a mistake.
To me.
Here's how she looks with the new striping:
The leftmost lane allows drivers to turn left or go straight – this seems like a mistake to me, but, then again, lots of things the SFMTA does seem like a mistake.
To me.
That's the update regarding this sitch on Oak betwixt Masonic and Ashbury.
The big issue was notice, but notice has been achieved.
Three cheers.
Next comes the lane restriping…
Here's the situation, via Camden Avery of Hoodline.
And here's how things looked yesterday, with people continuing to park on the north side of Oak between Ashbury and Masonic, right aside the new NO STOPPING ANY TIME towaway signs. At first I thought the whole block was affected, but really it's only about 75% of the block. This light pole is the demarcation line:
Boy, I wouldn't have the stones to park a car right next to these signs. (A ticket and tow from DPT / SFMTA / MUNI /
AutoTakeaway AutoReturn will run you something like $700-$1000, depending on how soon you start the process of getting your ride back.)
But also, if I were running the Urban High School (tuition > $40k per year) I would take effort to ensure actual notice to the people who park here. Of course, the new signs give notice, but human nature being what it is, why not do a little more, Urban School?
That would mean, instead of taking action today, waiting a few days and then putting out sawhorses or posts with signs next to Oak Street in the Panhandle, ala the annual Bay to Breakers Community Party and Fun-Run – let's do that on Sunday night.
And then, after the streetsweepers sweep through as they do almost every Monday morning, you could put a few cones out there, so drivers won't be able to miss the signage.
So sure, you've put notes under windshields, but that doesn't really cut it. (You gotta assume that the owners of these cars could be ex-cons with addiction issues.)
What's that Urban School, it's not you actually towing away cars? Oh yes it is. All this activity from PLANT and SFGov is for your new building, right?
But fine, do what you want, and then your rep in the hood will start approaching that of the SFMTA's rep, and that's no place you want to be.
Usually, they're new ones I see on flatbeds
Oh Jaguar, will you ever win?
Seen here being towed backwards up Oak and then up Clayton. One assumes this front wheel drive car has a dolly attached:
Anyway, this is how I see Autoreturn – they don't really return cars as much as take them away.
Hey look the new SCHEDULE OF FEES, effective yesterday. What's really out of whack here is the "Administrative Fee" of $266. This is how our inefficient, money-hungry SFMTA earns its money – by charging a fee on top of the money it already makes on the cars it tickets and has towed. Is this the highest administrative fee charged of all of America's 3000-some odd counties? Yep. Why's that? Well, it's to pay the salaries of the Parking Control Officers that the SFMTA already makes money off of, oh well.
Here's Spencer Brown's recent experience with AR. But, as stated, the real profiteer here is the inefficient, money-hungry SFMTA.
SF ought to kill this fee entirely.
This is just one part of The Trek – can you see them all, laboring their borrowed carts up Lone Mountain going to where – a moving van somewhere near Geary in the Inner Richmond?
Poor students!
Come to think of it, USF goes out of its way to avoid pissing off its neighbors on Moving Days
I guess that's the price you gotta pay when you're an Urban University…
So fine, you have a church and SFGov lets you tell your attendees it's OK to park on the street out front.
Because this policy is unconstitutional, the SFMTA can't lay down any official rules to the game. But I can.
So, when you're completely filling up an entire city block with cars, you churches ought to leave the spaces near crosswalks empty.
You see, this kind of a thing here is a problem:
So, keep your cars at least 30 feet away from any crosswalk, how's that for a rule?
Oh, what's that, you don't care? Well, OK. But following this rule would be the Christian thing to do, right, Christian?
How Would Jesus Park? Well, He wouldn't double park so close to a crosswalk, that's for sure…

I have found freedom in my career, it has set me on a course of profound understanding and meaningful purpose. It has taught me to focus on what can be not what can't be. That kind of thinking set me free.
The study and practice of this has invigorated my life no end, it has empowered me and in doing so set me free of the limitations I found creeping into my life. My career measures its worth in helping people, it feels like honest money, a far cry from the world I once inhabited!
I practice Kyudo (Japanese Archery) and find it is the most challenging thing I have ever done and one of the most rewarding.
I love hanging out with my little nephews, playing lego and having backyard adventures.
Don't watch much TV but I do love big bang theory, Modern family, Sons of Anarchy, Long way round, Long way down, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, grand designs and when it was on Spaced.
I love Japanese food, thai, and middle eastern cooking and I reckon Jamie Oliver is a stand up guy with a big heart!
I am a big fan of Sumi-e painting and Japanese calligraphy, as well as the tea ceremony, the focus, commitment, elegance and shear beauty of all three arts never ceases to amaze me.
Movies - I love a good movie my tastes are very wide. I love the experience of being lost in the moment of a good flick!
Good mentors

Issues with convection. What is a useful framework beyond bulk models of large N, non-interacting, scale-separated, equilibrium systems
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractThe representation of cumulus clouds presents some notoriously stubborn problems in climate modelling. The starting point for our representations is the well-known Arakawa and Schubert (1974) system which describes interactions of cloud types ("plumes") with their environment. In some ways, this system has become brutally simplified: in applications, generally only a single "bulk" cloud type is considered, there are assumed to be very many clouds present, and an equilibrium between convection and forcing is assumed to be rapidly reached. In other ways, the system has become greatly complicated: the description of a plume is much more "sophisticated". In this talk, I want to consider what might be learnt from almost the opposite perspective: i.e., keep the plume description brutally simple, but take seriously the implications of issues like finite cloud number (leading naturally to important stochastic effects), competitive communities of cloud types (leading to a proposed relation for the co-existence of shallow and deep convection) and prognostic effects (leading to questions about how far equilibrium thinking holds).

Miners found to have illegally restructured company
KERRY O'BRIEN: Two of Australia's most prominent businessmen, goldminers Joseph Gutnick and Robert Champion de Crespigny, were today found to have illegally structured a takeover of a mining company.
Mr Gutnick has been ordered to pay $28.5 million to investors.
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission won its case against a complex takeover scheme by companies associated with the two men.
They had jointly bid $450 million for Great Central Mines -- a goldmining company already controlled by Gutnick.
But Justice Merkel ruled today that the way the bid had been structured was unlawful and that the takeover documents had been misleading and deceptive.
Business and economics editor Alan Kohler reports.
ALAN KOHLER: Bad enough that the gold prices crashed this year, but Australia's big two gold producers, Joseph Gutnick and Robert Champion de Crespigny, had a very ordinary day in the Federal Court today.
The court found that their behaviour in jointly bidding $450 million earlier this year, for a company called Great Central Mines, was unlawful and deceptive.
JOSEPH LONGO, AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT COMMISSION: Both had shareholdings in Great C entral Mines before this bid was launched, and they agreed together to form a company called Yandal.
And the effect of that was that 40 per cent of the company remained in the control of the bid vehicle and interests associated with Edensor and Normandy.
And that enabled, as the court held, to have a platform for a bid to be launched for the rest of the company.
And the court found that the way it was put together was in breach of the takeovers laws.
ALAN KOHLER: It's a comprehensive victory for the Securities Commission.
The Commission had argued that the shareholders of Great Central Mines had been deceived by Joseph Gutnick and Robert de Crespigny.
The argument was that the relationship between these two was closer than they'd let on and that, in fact, they'd actually wrapped up control of Great Central already.
Justice Merkel agreed and ordered them to pay $28.5 million to the shareholders.
JOSEPH LONGO: The court held that the effect of the arrangement was to enable a bid to be made at a price significantly lower for these shares than would otherwise have been the case.
ALAN KOHLER: It was a complex 60-page judgment, but essentially, there were two key elements.
Justice Merkel said firstly that because of their shareholders' agreement, the various Gutnick and de Crespigny companies had acquired what is legally called a "relevant interest", in contravention of the Companies Act.
And secondly, he said that the takeover document, called a Part A Statement, was misleading.
The judge also decided that it was only Joseph Gutnick who received any benefit and that he should pay the $28.5 million.
So it'll be interesting to see whether his friend Robert de Crespigny helps out with the cheque, because with gold below $260 an ounce, that's serious money for a goldminer with a football team to support.
JOSEPH GUTNICK: I urge all our members and supporters to stand by their great football club whilst the errors of the past are addressed and cleaned up, and we move forward.
ALAN KOHLER: Well-paid footballers they are, too. In March, Melbourne Football Club President Joseph Gutnick confessed that the club, before his time, had breached the AFL salary cap.
Gutnick was praised then for being honest and forthright, but today, it was a different story.
Do you think it's embarrassing or damaging, perhaps, to Joseph Gutnick and Robert de Crespigny?
JOSEPH LONGO: Well, I certainly think this judgment would be disappointing to them.
It's a significant judgment for shareholders in GCM and it does raise significant issues about the Takeovers Code and the need to comply with the Takeovers Code.
ALAN KOHLER: But what today's judgment does not do is leave two of Australia's most prominent businessmen with criminal records.
JOSEPH LONGO: These proceedings weren't there to punish anyone.
These proceedings were brought in order to establish the unlawfulness of this particular bid structure, and secondly, to bring relief to shareholders who were affected by it.
ALAN KOHLER: But most people would think that if they'd comm itted a fraud, they wouldn't just be asked to pay the money back and not to benefit, they'd go to jail?
JOSEPH LONGO: The commercial reality here is that the court has found that this takeover bid was unlawful, it was unfair to shareholders, and it's forced these parties to disgorge the benefit they gained from this vehicle in order to compensate shareholders.
That is a good result, a very good result, for GCM shareholders and it also maintains and promotes integrity in the market for change of control in companies.
ALAN KOHLER: Great Central is one of Australia's biggest gold companies.
It produces about 650,000 ounces a year from two mines near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. More importantly, it's the jewel in Joseph Gutnick's yarmulke.
But now, if he can't find $28.5 million in 21 days, he might lose it, and if he gets the money from Robert Champion de Crespigny, he could lose it anyway -- to de Crespigny.
KERRY O'BRIEN: In the world of business, justice being seen to be done.
We did approach both Joseph Gutnick and Robert de Crespigny for interviews. They both declined.

Again I am LMAO. I love the statement "Its a much more humane way to kill people".<quoted text>
Where do you people keep your brains??
The DIFFERENCE is Bush used boots on the ground and mile high flying bombers to kill. He also used drones on a limited basis compared to the way Obama is using drones. Its a much more humane way to kill people, cuts down the number of innocents. And there are always innocent people killed no matter how hard you try and avoid it. You got any idea just how many innocent people have been killed in the Bush wars. Google it and use any source you like, the numbers will still make you sick. You people hate the guy so much you will believe and turn any story into a bad Obama story. You not only lose you are a chronic loser.

Here's a hint.

As I scanned the article I became hopeful when I noted the word "arrested" in an article about a War Criminal - but then I saw it was just a $10,000,000.00 photo op for a draft dodging cowardly rich spoiled white boy.

Your mission was accomplished ?
Better tell that to the thousands of Marines and Soldiers who died in Iraq after that stupid photo op and the "Bring It On" braggadocio.
Having eaten a lot of dirt and sand as a "Grunt", and later attended the funerals of several Marines killed in Iraq and Afghanistan long after that embarrassing draft dodging coward's use of our troops and equipment as his photo op, I still want to throw up when I see pictures Bush strutting about saying "Bring It On."
Here's a hint for wannabe "Tough Guys" like Bush - when you tell the world to "Bring It On" - maybe you ought to be the one risking your life, not our best and brightest.
Hey, maybe if they hasn't been a drunk, cowardly, draft dodging ChickenHawk during Vietnam, Bush, and the gang would have been more careful about sending our troops home in body bags.

In my best estimation nothing will change as the news media will not be truthful or demand any honesty from this President. The Republicans will do what they usually do, and that is nothing. The AHCA will be pushed up to 2015 for business's that have over 50 employees. All of Congress and the Judicial system will allow all this to happen right under their noses. The General public, much to their own ignorance, will allow themselves to become more enslaved and poorer thanks to President Obama and our Socialist Congress.

Thanks for the insight and welcome to Planet Earth.
We Normal Folks have always wondered if the inhabitants of Right Wing Wacko Planet consider themselves "humans".
Since RWWs are apparently generated through some cloning method that fails to produce the ability to reason, an absence of long-term memory, and the inability to develop self-discipline, those of us born and raised on Earth weren't sure.

Let me tell you something. Haven't you ever heard the saying "Old men start wars, Young men fight them"? That is the truth and that is the way it has always been. No matter where you are and no matter who is in power it will always be. Accept it. I didn't say you had to like it but you must accept it.

+1 well stated.
"We fell for his promises of hope and change."
SOME of us didn't...:)
"Obama is simply a product of the media and the majority have fallen for it and continue to do so."
Yep. Unfortunately, their votes count the same as those that haven't fallen for it...

One other point that I have. Just because someone did not join the U.S. Armed Forces does not make them a coward. They just might not agree with a war, have a mental or physical handicap, or may be in medical college or something like that. They could be the last male member of their family. They could have parents or a loved one that must be taken care of. There are many reasons.
As far as Bush goes, he did serve in the Air National Guard. He could have been called to action. He did join, whatever his reasons were,he joined the guard,and he was a part of our armed forces. Our forces have always been made up of National Guard, Reservist, and Regular forces. He is still a veteran and I respect him for that just as I respect you as being a veteran. No He didn't go to war but not everyone in the U.S. Armed Forces did. Makes no difference in my mind.

Goodness, so much to deal with:
1. "showed NO compassion when dropping this bombs on people who didn't have anything to do with their leaders."
Well, as long as we're going back in time, let's look at someone who liked to use the military to distract from problems at home. BILL CLINTON
Clinton and Bosnia -"Leading the worlds most powerful alliance against lonely Serbia, bombing for 78 days from high altitudes to avoid (American military) casualties while killing hundreds or thousands of civilians, and ignoring atrocities by Americas allies didnt make him into a hero anywhere other than downtown Pristina, where his statue stands." insert mine
"So we bombed a medicine factory in Khartoum, with only the most ludicrous "evidence" that it was involved in chemical weapons production.
And we bombed "terrorist camps" in Afghanistan. Our intelligence was so bad that two of them turned out to be Pakistani-operated bases -- our allies -- and as for the ones that might have been associated with our enemies ... well, Mr. Bill tipped our hand by withdrawing nonessential U.S. personal from the area before sending the missiles. They had plenty of time to get out of the way."
"A few months later, the House was about to vote on impeachment. And guess what happens? Bill Clinton discovers that there is an emergency in Serbia which requires the bombers to fly yet again."
So our bombers flew. But they had to fly very, very high, because if Bill Clinton is anything, he's an absolute political coward -- he couldn't bear to face the possibility of even one U.S. pilot getting shot down. So our bombs fell from such a "safe" altitude that we were bound to kill civilians willy-nilly."
2. We already spend a huge amount of money per child in this country with results that are worsening every year. The educational system is broken, but Dems are so beholden to the teachers unions and the bureaucracy of the Dept of Education that any attempt to actually improve our schools is met with a stone wall of special interests who care more about their turf than about our children. Just compare what we spend vs our results with the rest of the world.
3. "More people killed in the name of religion that can be counted."
That is debatable, but if we want to look at the 20th century we have an absolute "winner" in who can claim the most number of deaths in the name of an ideology: Communism
USSR: estimates range from 20-32 million (some have gone as high as 60 million)
China: estimated at 40-65 million
Cambodia: 2,000,000

If memory serves correct (I'm not going back looking for the post, certainly not worth the time) the poster you're referencing doesn't know much about passing stats, either...

My sentiments, exactly.
#17263 Jul 4, 2013
Let me try again, Dave. The conservatives are the ones that are trying to protect the lives of innocent little babies, right. Now,(try to follow me here) if someone is murdering innocent little babies, then it seems to me that conservatives would be concerned.....apple or orange.

Black Haze is an interesting webtoon. It's, from what I hear, a challenge webtoon on Naver not an 'official' one and you can really tell just from the first chapter. The awkwardness of the first few chapters and really everything in general didn't draw me in and I had actually considered dropping it. However it does hit its stride around the 11th chapter and got better every single following one until I can safely say this is one of my most anticipated webtoons to read.
I must first of all state that the art isn't the best. There are worse styles out there but this is slightly bad, especially at the beginning. It's not that it has gotten dramatically better in the recent chapters but I probably just got used to it and don't notice it as much now. It's just the way some panels have sometimes distorted faces and bodies; most notably the first closeup of one particular character. There are times when I wonder why the artist chose that particular angle because all the features of that character looks weird and some birds-eye view of characters...well, what can I say? The artist probably doesn't have experience with drawing people at certain positions but that is always solved with experience and I expect they would improve as they continue with this.
Plus, while I do love the webtoon, I have to admit it hasn't the most original plot in the beginning. In fact, I can sum it up in one sentence: a way OP boy goes to school because of a mission to befriend another boy. While I don't want to spoil anything, I can say thankfully something greater is involved.
Now, what it excels in is its characters; or rather, its main character. He is just so sassy and calculative and just all round awesome. Bar none one of my favourite characters ever. But, honestly, I never got invested in him until approximately the 11th chapter. Can you see the trend now? Haha. Until that chapter he was just an boringly perfect OP character who just wasn't compelling or charismatic in any way or form. But then that chapter arrived and he just flourished. I'm not sure what had happened to the author but man I am glad for it.
The humour at first was quite contrived and forced and while I did quirk a smile every now and then, I wasn't impressed with his attempt with comedy. And then the 11th chapter and the following chapters. You guessed it, it also dramatically improved. And most of the comedy came from the main, so you can see the connection there.
Overall Black Haze has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing its progress to hopefully becoming an 'offical' webtoon! I recommend everyone to read it!
Haha I completely agree about the main character! I was iffy about him at first too. Like, rly? So OP whyyyy! But then his OPness became strangely balanced, and his personality had a chance to just...kaboom. Sassy, yes. Calculative, oh yeah. And funny. Haha. I love the character development of the other characters too.

Our apartment is situated on Altomar 2 in Gran Alacant just south of Alicante. Close to two sandy beaches and with the choice of 3 pools (although we cannot guarantee that all the pools will be open all the time). The apartment is south facing so the sun can be enjoyed all day.
There is a good choice of shops, bars and restaurants close by and a street market once a week. There is a bus service which is easy and cheap and runs to Alicante to the north and Santa Pola to the south and stops outside our apartment. Aso a local bus runs around Gran Alacant every half hour and links up all the shops bars and restaurants and the beach. A new addition is a tourist roadtrain which also runs round Gran Alacant. This also stops right outside our apartment.
Benidorm is about 45 minutes drive away or a bus ride from Alicante - ideal for a family day out at one of the theme parks: Terra Mitica, Terra Natura, Aqualandia or Mundamar. There are also organised trips to all these places from Gran Alacant.
Other places of interest might be Elche - famous for its palm trees, or Guadalest in the mountains.
Also boat trips can be taken from Santa Pola to the island of Tabarca.
You will find a folder of information on the area and places to visit in the apartment. There are also plenty of books and a few childrens toys.
A complimentary bottle of wine awaits your arrival and there will be water and milk in the fridge.
There is a small supermarket just round the corner which is open 09.00-21.00hrs every day except Christmas Day.
KITCHEN : You will find everything you need for a self-catering holiday.
BEDROOMS : There are ceiling fans in both the bedrooms.
Cot hire is available if required.
