an isolated area of intricate design
but those things happened centuries later
almost in the way that I desired
the place I had last seen him
keeping in their minds the lines of melody
spherical baskets slowly taking shape
from a yellow ochre background in swirls
rectangular rocks leading out into
the choppy dark blue green sea
happier than I thought I should be
intimate experience of painting the woods
tangential places in our lives
some unknown mystery, some aura
it wasn't until that very moment
the significance of the date
Deep blue. Aquamarine. Gold and red.
A sea of gold haloes

* Canadian dollar at C$1.3335, or 74.99 U.S. cents * Loonie touches its weakest since March 16 at C$1.3351 * Bond prices higher across the yield curve * Canada-U.S. 2-year spread hits widest in 4 months By Fergal Smith TORONTO, Oct 21 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened to a seven-month low against its firmer U.S. counterpart on Friday as weaker-than-expected domestic data fueled interest rate cut bets and oil prices fell. The value of Canadian retail sales unexpectedly declined 0.1 percent in August, data from Statistics Canada showed. Analysts had expected a gain of 0.3 percent. Canada's annual inflation rose in September to 1.3 percent from a rate of 1.1 percent in August, but fell short of the 1.5 percent advance analysts had forecast. "The big surprise this week was the Bank of Canada contention that they actively talked about cutting rates. This (data) is just going to keep the flames alive on that talk," said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets. The implied probability of a Bank of Canada interest rate cut by mid-2017 jumped to more than 40 percent from around 30 percent before the data, overnight index swaps data showed. Canada's central bank head whipsawed markets on Wednesday when he mused about considering a rate cut shortly after holding rates steady. But the element of surprise is one of the few tools left to move the currency where the bank needs it to be - a little weaker to help Canadian exports. U.S. crude prices were down 0.49 percent to $50.38 a barrel as gains for the U.S. dollar against a basket of major currencies offset Russia reiterating its commitment to joining a producers' output freeze. Oil is one of Canada's major exports. At 9:18 a.m. EDT (1318 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.3335 to the greenback, or 74.99 U.S. cents, much weaker than Thursday's close of C$1.3222, or 75.63 U.S. cents. The currency's strongest level of the session was C$1.3226, while it touched its weakest since March 16 at C$1.3351. Canada's trade minister and a European Union negotiator held urgent talks with the premier of the Belgian region of Wallonia to try to break a deadlock preventing EU nations signing an EU-Canadian free trade deal. Canadian government bond prices were higher across the yield curve, with the two-year price up 8 Canadian cents to yield 0.512 percent and the benchmark 10-year rising 37 Canadian cents to yield 1.134 percent. The 2-year yield fell 4.6 basis points further below its U.S. equivalent, to leave a spread of -31.8 basis points, its widest since June 2, indicating outperformance for Canadian government bonds.

Dear Mikey,
Surely everyone has heard about the Target security breach by now. I actually used my card around mid-December for Christmas shopping, and my bank informed me that my card had been compromised. The bad part is, my bank just found out so my card has been compromised this whole entire time, however I was unaware. The ironic thing is, I also used my card at Neiman Marcus and Michael's so I think my card becoming compromised was inevitable at that point.
I am pretty sure that I am not the only person who fell victim to these security breaches so I thought I would write in to address the issue.
Can you offer us some tips on how we can prevent this from happening in the future? I love shopping at Target; however, is it worth the potential security risk?
-Hesitant Retail Shopper
Dear Hesitant Retail Shopper,
Using your debit or credit card at any retailer is always at the consumer's discretion. There is always a risk when you use your card, whether you are shopping at a national retailer or a local one. As with everything in life, there are no guarantees. Just because a company has security software, doesn't mean it can 100 percent prevent hackers from getting in their systems and stealing your information. I can offer you a few suggestions, however, everyone takes a risk every time a card is used.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to still shop at Target. However, perhaps instead of using your card, why not pull some cash out of your bank account if you know what you need to grab ahead of time? This way you are not only watching your spending and preventing impulse buying, but you are also taking out the risk for your personal information getting hacked.
Another way to protect yourself is by buying those prepaid visa cards. You can easily buy them with cash at the store and use them wherever you go as the magnetic strip doesn't link to any of your personal information.
These are just a few things that you can try and do to protect your bank account; however, either way you play it, you are always going to have risks. You could grab cash to make a purchase and then your wallet gets stolen or your prepaid visa card could get stolen. You could swipe your credit card at the pump and hackers can grab your information that way. It is a gamble either way.
As consumers, we are all at risk no matter which route we take. We just have to try and do the best that we can to protect our finances. Constantly changing passwords, keeping our pin numbers safe, using more cash than cards—all of this can help in trying to protect ourselves. Pick the route that you feel is the most secure and what works the best for you.

I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, and have a husband and two children. Music is an addiction. I can often be found in the car, singing along at the top of my lungs to whatever is playing. I work full time, and I split my spare time between family, reading, blogging, and writing. I'm a habitual quoter. Lines from films and TV shows constantly pop into my head—my kids are the only ones that really get it. I'm an only child, and so of course I married a man who is one of ten children. Other than English, I speak Spanish, Moroccan, and a little French. I love to travel, but don't do enough of it. Reading has been a passion for most of my life, and I now love writing. I'm klutz, and in my own mind, I'm hilarious.

Joe Flacco and the Ravens have struck first in Denver after both teams punted to end their first possessions.
Flacco led Baltimore on a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ate 3:58 off the clock and culminated with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Vonta Leach, who stretched the ball across the goal line for a 7-0 lead about 8 minutes into the contest.
Flacco went 5-for-7 for 59 yards and a touchdown during the series with Torrey Smith contributing two receptions for 40 yards.
Update: Jacoby Jones was escorted to the locker room after spraining his right knee in a collision with rookie Brynden Trawick on a punt return.
Jones signaled for a fair catch on the punt, but Trawick backed into him at full speed. Both were affected by the collision, as Trawick was being examined on the bench.
Losing Jones could prove problematic and not just because he's the Ravens' top return man. Baltimore dressed just four receivers for the game and losing Jones would bring that down to three, limiting what the team can do offensively.
On the ensuing drive, Flacco was intercepted by Chris Harris, and one play later Peyton Manning hooked up with Julius Thomas for a 24-yard touchdown. That tied the game at 7-7 with 11:40 to go in the second quarter.
Update II: The Ravens have quickly reclaimed the lead after Denver committed a miscue of its own.
After Baltimore was forced to punt, Wes Welker signaled for a fair catch, but muffed it and Chykie Brown recovered it for the Ravens at the Broncos 2.
On the next snap, Ray Rice ran 2 yards around the right end for a touchdown and a 14-7 Baltimore lead.
On the touchdown run, right tackle Michael Oher hurt his right ankle and is questionable to return.
Update III: The magnitude of the contest isn't the same, but the back-and-forth pacing of the rematch between the Ravens and Broncos is awfully similar to last season's divisional playoff.
The Broncos answered the Ravens' touchdown with a six-play, 80-yard scoring drive. Manning and Thomas again burned the Baltimore defense for two completions for a combined 67 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown.
That tied the game at 14-14 with 5:41 to go in the first half.

Charlottetown City Councilor Melissa Hilton delivers the budget at City Hall Wednesday during a lunch hour sitting.
The only thing the minister responsible for municipalities in P.E.I. didn't do Wednesday was write a cheque for the City of Charlottetown.
Communities, Land and Environment Minister Robert Mitchell attended the city's annual budget address, telling the media afterwards that he's very optimistic a new revenue-sharing model with municipalities can be worked out in time for next year's municipal budget.
For the first time in 23 years, the City of Charlottetown is carrying a deficit in 2017 — $1.5 million. The city says it was either run a deficit or raise taxes by five per cent.
The total deficit the city was facing for 2016 was $3 million, pointing to factors such as the extraordinary snowfalls over the past two years and a revenue-sharing model with the province.
Under provincial legislation, the city is not allowed to carry a deficit, but it doesn't appear there will be any penalties.
Mitchell says the formula will be changed.
"In some ways, I'm not totally surprised,'' Mitchell said following the budget address. "I have to commend the City of Charlottetown and all municipalities across the Island being able to reach balanced budgets over the last number of years.
"We are discussing a new revenue formula. I think we're making good strides and do believe we will be ready for (the) next fiscal (year).''
The province collects property taxes for the city and then returns the revenue. The problem is, because the formula was changed in 2008 from a tax credit system to a grant system, where the return can fluctuate, this means the province has collected more than $12 million that has not come back into the city's coffers.
Mitchell said the goal is to return to the more stable tax credit system.
"Absolutely,'' Mitchell said when asked if he feels the current system creates an imbalance. "It is something that has been escaping them over the last number of years when they didn't get the full value of growth.''
Mayor Clifford Lee, who has been fighting to have the formula changed almost since day one, is very optimistic.
"I anticipate a year from now we will have a new funding model in place,'' Lee said.
There is no tax increase and no rate hike in water and sewer. The city will pull in about $550,000 from hiking things like parking meter rates and fines as well as increases for ice rentals.
The city has made cuts, too.
Two vacant sergeants positions with Charlottetown Police Services won't be filled. Two vacant directors positions with the city corporation, fiscal services and development and public services also won't be filled. They've been vacant since the departures of Phil Handrahan and Joe Coady.
The deficit also comes on the heels of pay increases for mayor and council last July. Salary and benefits have increased from $360,000 to $458,186.
Coun. Melissa Hilton, chairwoman of the finance, audit and tendering committee, said she doesn't think it's bad optics.
"In all honesty, this was something we dealt with nine months ago,'' Hilton said, referring to a report on compensation last July. "I do hope the residents of this city do support the work that we do and what we receive for the tremendous amount of work that we do.''
By the numbers
$47.55 million - city budget for 2016
$9.66 million - budget for water and sewer utility
$3 million - city's deficit before hikes for things like parking meters and fines
$550,000 - what the city will pull in on additional fees and fines
$1.5 million - final deficit being carried into 2017 after additional fees and fines

Political CareerEdit
Appointment to U.S. SenateEdit
Murkowski, while a member of the Alaska House of Representatives, was appointed by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski, to his own unexpired Senate seat in December 2002, which he had vacated after being elected governor. The appointment caused a furor in the state, and eventually resulted in a referendum which stripped the governor of his power to directly appoint replacement Senators.
2004 Election to SenateEdit
She was elected to a full six-year term against former Governor Tony Knowles in the 2004 election, by a extremely small, rasor thin margin. Near the end of the general election campaign, then-Senator Ted Stevens shot fear mongering ads for Murkowski warning the public that electing a Democrat to replace her would likely result in the state receiving fewer dollars from the then-Republican federal government.
As a SenatorEdit
In July 2007, Murkowski stated she would sell back land she bought from Anchorage businessman Bob Penney, a day after a Washington watchdog group filed a Senate ethics complaint against her, alleging that Penney sold the property well below market value. The Anchorage Daily News noted, "The transaction amounted to an illegal gift worth between $70,000 and $170,000, depending on how the property was valued, according to the complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center."
In 2008, Murkowski amended her Senate financial disclosures for 2004 through 2006, adding income of $60,000 per year from the sale of a property in 2003, and more than $40,000 a year from the sale of her "Alaska Pasta Company" in 2005.
In 2010, she put forwarde a resolution that would have dismantled the Clean Air Act and increase America's oil dependence by Billions of barrels. Fortunately that was defeated by Democrats in the U.S. Senate by a vote of 53 - 47.
2010 Run for Re-electionEdit
As a Moderate Republican, Murkowski was called too Liberal by Conservatives such as Sarah Palin. Former Governor Palin also decided to endorse the Tea Party, Republican candidate, Joe Miller. Mr. Miller won the Republican nomination in a politicial upset, mostly due to his usage of abortion rights as a wedge issue. Murkowski announced on September 17, she would contest the general election as a write-in and won.
Moderate RepublicanEdit
At least she's a moderate Republican and she doesn't suck as badly as George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin and shows occasional instances of sanity, such as supporting the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, endorsing gay marriage, and voting in favor of immigration reform, but these instances are few and far in between.

Some abilities of Vampires are extremely long life. They can turn others into vampires, but it's not contagious, as they choose who to turn and tend to be quite selective.
Some weaknesses are that they are unable to go into the sunlight and can't change from human to vampire and vise versa. However, modern books like Twilight and others, make vampires seem more human, but with different abilities , unusually keen senses, and a much slower rate of aging.
Of course, capabilities and weaknesses vary among different types (Nosferatu, living vampires, et cetera). Some are only moderately affected by garlic, preferring to avoid it. Some cannot be exposed to sunlight, some can handle indirect exposure; living vampires tend to continue their lives much as before they were carried across, as they can still be exposed to direct sunlight, but might be more photo-sensitive. Odds are, even if you met a living vampire, or any type of vampire, for that matter, you would not realise it unless he/she admitted it to you, but that is highly unlikely, as most prefer to retain their anonymity.

Our Erik Gustafsson (1992) is doing good as well, but not at the same level, yet. This season he played very good for Djurgarden in their fight to make it back to SEL (I suppose you know the system of the Swedish leagues were teams can go up and down). Djurgarden wanted to keep him since he is/was one the key players but in the end Gustafsson (advised by his agent) wanted to be back in the SEL (he played 11/12 in SEL). Once it was clear he was on the market several teams tried to get him. In the end he was signed by Frolunda (6th place this season) for next season. My team in Sweden!
And I am thrilled to have him as he seems to be on the verge of a SEL break-through.
I'll try to follow his progress as much as possible and send updates from time to time, but in another thread I guess

Join John Derry for an in-depth discussion in this video Simulating canvas texture, part of Photoshop CS5: Painting with the Mixer Brush.
In this movie, we are going to take a look at how we can interact with the character of the texture as it appears within the brushstrokes. One of the first things we want to take a look at here is the Depth slider. This controls the appearance of the depth within a brushstroke. Right now, it's set pretty high, so that as I paint, my strokes are almost black. I can lighten up with a little bit of pressure, but not much is happening here. So to start to change this quality, the Depth slider can be used.
When it's all the way to the top, it's saying, use the full depth of the texture. As I lower this down, we'll see a lower value here. Now, I'm starting to see more texture, and less fill of the lower parts of the grain. What's actually happening here isn't so much a factor of texture itself, but Photoshop's built-in way it works with the Mixer brushes; pressure, in this sense, is really controlling how thick and full all of the hairs within the brush are responding to pressure.
So it's not really associated with pressure per se, but we are getting a nice variation in here, even at this level. Now, just depending on where you set this, you are going to be able to get only at the tops of the grain that we're working with here. So at this lower level, you can see that now, I'm just skipping along the very top of the grain. I can never get all the way down into the little valleys that make up this three-dimensional texture. So one of the first things you'll want to do then is play around with this slider to determine the quality or the character of the texture within your strokes.
I should also point out here that going from one texture to another can give you very different results. For example, this one we got just along the top of the grain, whereas here you can see this grain, same Depth setting, but now all of a sudden we are addressing all the way down into the bottom of the texture. So each texture is going to respond a bit differently. In this case, I need to play around with this Depth slider again, in conjunction with a particular texture, to find out what kind of visual quality I can get to and then decide what I want it to look like.
The reason for this variation is that each one of these has a differing set of grayscale values that make them up, and some of these settings are dependent on the grayscale within the particular pattern. So there is no one consistent setting for depth. You'll have to play around with it for each texture based on its own self-contained grayscale. The other thing we can look at here is the Mode. These are different algorithms that describe how texture is going to be handled when it's applied to the screen.
It's almost like these are various filters through which the texture is being examined and then applied to the screen. Height is the one I use most of the time; sometimes you can use Linear Height. Now, this texture I can see a little better here, but this does give a good example. I am going to clean off the screen here. I am going to use the Command+Delete key, which clears the image to the background color, which is currently white. Now, what I want you to see here is, and this is very indicative of Linear Height, it is a very soft kind of rendition of the texture, unlike what we saw before with Height, which was much grainier, much harder-edged.
And a third one that I use sometimes is Hard Mix. This one is even more of a severe hard-edged appearance of the texture. This one, typically you have to turn Depth up very high to see it there - now I can see it. But it even has a more graphic hard-edged appearance than either Linear Height or Height. You can play around with these other ones, but in conjunction with the mixer brush, I find the bottom three here, and probably Height to be the most wide-ranging useful of the three.
So now we've looked at how to control the appearance of texture within our strokes; the next thing we'll take a look at is how to control the scale, and we'll look at that in the next movie.
- Understanding the axes of motion with a Wacom tablet
- Choosing a brush shape and Bristle Tip
- Adjusting brush angle
- Loading color and control the behavior of the Mixer Brush
- Modifying surface texture
- Simulating the texture of canvas
- Saving tool presets for brushes
- Creating a painting from a photograph
- Painting from scratch with the Mixer Brush

Q: What factors affect how well the mixer brushes in Photoshop perform? Does document size (i.e. 72dpi vs. 240dpi) affect the performance of the brushes? How can I maximize brush performance?
A: The recordings for this tutorial were generally done at a standard screen resolution, but a real-world situation will often require higher resolutions. For example, offset printing generally dictates files at 300ppi (pixels per inch). Inkjet printing is often discussed in terms of 240ppi. For web-based viewing, imagery at 72ppi is considered acceptable. You can easily determine the pixel resolution of an image by multiplying the size in inches by the above ppi (pixels per inch) factors.
Let's use a typical real-world size as an example: 20" X 24". This is a common photographic print and frame size.
72ppi = 1440p X 1728p = 2,488,320 pixels
150ppi = 3000p X 3600p = 10,800,000 pixels
300ppi = 6000p X 7200p = 43,200,000 pixels
Note that each of these resolution factors quadruples the total pixel count.
It is the amount of pixels being manipulated that dictates both application and brush performance. With this in mind, we can state that performance decreases as image pixel size increases. There are three primary factors that affect an application's ability to handle large pixel-based manipulation.

What's the total amount that includes all the things from anesthesia fee to physician's fee?
Total Cost of Rhinoplasty Including Anesthesia and Physician Fee?
Doctor Answers 12
Rhinoplasty Fees
Surgical fees will range across the country and based on the extent of the surgery. The surgical fees for closed rhinoplasty including md anesthesia start at $6000. Tip Rhinoplasty will be less, and open rhinoplasty will be more.
Learn more: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/West_Palm_Beach_Rhinoplasty.html
Cost of rhinoplasty varies
I have never surveyed rhinoplasty costs in my community or around the country, but we charge $7000-$9000 for rhinoplasty in our licensed, accredited office surgicenter. This total fee for surgeon, anesthesia, and operating room charges is itemized for patients.
Other costs such as recovery facilities and hotel accommodations for out of town patients are provided on request. Although the cost is an important consideration, as Dr. Gunter stated, do not make your choice solely on the basis of finances.
Total cost of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty fee ranges change from area of the US to the doctor own fee structure. In Miami, the range inclusive of all charges is from $4500 to $8500. Hope this helps.

Cannot Speak for Others
I am in Kentucky so I can only tell you what our fees are for Rhinoplasty and Related Facility Fee and Anesthesia Fee. While some offices choose to divide the fees and present them separately we will present one universal fee for all services. Of course we have the advantage of owning and operating our own office based and fully accredited (AAAASF) surgicenter. Our current fee is $7500 for primary noses and a little more for Revisions of Previous Surgery depending on the extent of the problem.
In 2016, our all inclusive primary rhinoplasty fee is $9,645, which includes anesthesia, facility, and unlimited follow ups.

Rhinoplasty pricing
The price of aesthetic procedures can vary widely. It can depend on the city that you are in, the cost of the O.R. and anesthesia. It us usually predicated on how much time the surgeon needs to spend in the O.R. See a few plastic surgeons before making your selection. Ask the office manager to break down the cost for you. Remember that cheap can become very expensive if there is an issue.

Total Cost of Rhinoplasty in Atlanta
The cost of rhinoplasty depends on the amount of work needed to be done, whether or not it is a revision, your geographic location, and the experience and educational background of your plastic surgeon. The additional costs of the anesthesiologist and facility fee depends on the type of facility and experience of the anesthesiologist. We have our own fully accredited surgery center as a result we can control and minimize the cost of our facility fee; also, since we exclusively perform facial surgery in our center, we can negotiate with anesthesiologists specifically for facial cosmetic surgery helping patients get the best value.

You get what you pay for in Rhinoplasty+
The above is a saying I'm certain you've heard before and to an extent it applies to Rhinoplasty as it does to so many other things. I am not impling that the more you pay the better the result but I am saying that selecting a rhinoplasty by what the charges are is not the why to choose your surgeon. If the charge is "bottom basement" there is usually a reason for it. All good surgeons feel they should be reimbursed fairly but at the same time the price should be fair to the patient.
You should consult with a surgeon who:
1) Has a good reputation with both patients and doctors
2) Devotes the major part of his practice to Rhinoplasty
3) Has a photo gallery which shows at least two or more different views of patients (many pts have one view which may be impressive{usually the side view} but the others which are not good. You should not go by the surgeon's claims on the Internet as these claims don't have to be substantiated. The 1st operation is the best chance to get the bestresult.

Continental Tire
Continental Tire hosted four GRAND-AM teams at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to test their new tire configuration for the upcoming July 27 race.
Indianapolis, IN - June 12, 2012. Continental Tire hosted four Rolex Series teams at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway today to test their newest tire configurations, the DP-I and GT-I (I standing for Indy). The test marked the second time Continental Tire put their tires to use on the 2.605-mile, 13-turn stadium road course.
"The Continental Tire team has worked extremely hard to develop a tire that will allow all the GRAND-AM teams to perform at their best at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway," said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. "It's an honor to be able to showcase our tires at such a historic race track. We've been testing the tire and working with the teams and GRAND-AM to help give the fans the best show possible during Super Weekend in July."
Because the Indianapolis road course hasn't been run on since September, the teams arrived to a "green" track on Tuesday. Memo Rojas was the first Ganassi driver to make a full fuel run in the No. 01 TELMEX BMW/Riley. Following his run Rojas, who is also the Rolex Series points leader, stated, "It is pretty obvious that the track hasn't been run for a while." He continued, "The track, like you said, is pretty green. It takes a little bit to put rubber on the track. Regardless the tires have been pretty consistent as far as lap times.When you have a green track the tires slide around more so we're expecting once there are more cars on the track the performance of the tire and the durability should be pretty good."
The two Daytona Prototype (DP) teams that tested were the No. 01 Ganassi BMW and the No. 99 Gainsco Corvette. The No. 51 APR Audi and the No. 88 Autohaus Camaro took to the track on behalf of the Grand Touring (GT) class. While the road-course portion of the track didn't take rubber, the team's continued with the test session and three teams ran full fuel stints in the afternoon session with track temperatures reaching over 120 degrees Farenheit (the No. 51 APR team had a part failure in the morning session and didn't test in the afternoon).
Overall, Continental Tire officials were able to collect good data and are looking forward to the upcoming GRAND-AM open test at the Speedway on July 6 and 7 when they have more cars on track to help lay more rubber down, specifically into the road-course portion of the course. Today's participating driver's echoed that sentiment following the afternoon session.
"It's pretty typical, it's just an incredibly green track right now and it's good that Continental's here at least getting some sense of where we're at and what we need to do," said veteran driver and point's leader Scott Pruett following the test. "The tire wear is significantly high but that's to be expected because of this green track it's something that we saw when we came here in 2009 and tested, the wear was quite high. At the moment we only have four cars going around the track and when we come back I've got to believe that we'll have 60 cars or more depending on the Continental and the Rolex so that's going to make a significant difference."
The driver of the No. 99 Gainsco Corvette, Jon Fogarty, reiterated the what a challenge today's track conditions were saying, "It's gone pretty well." He continued, "It's important that Continental Tire come out here and verify the product that they have. The diamond ground banking here is notorious for being tough on tires so they want to make sure they have a tire that's going to put on a good show and we're working towards that and making progress so it's great to be out here and be able to do that."
This specific configuration was also slated to race at Homestead-Miami Speedway back in April but rain forced teams to change to rain tires for the actual race. It was also just announced last week that the DP cars would race the new DP-I configuration at the two upcoming Watkins Glen races.

by Brandon Turbeville, Activist Post:
Human Rights Watch and its Executive Director, Kenneth Roth, have managed a number of brazen failures in their attempt to support Western-backed terrorists in their goal of advancing Western imperialism in Syria. From using photos of cities the United States has bombed in order to blame the destruction on Bashar al-Assad to attacking Syrian nuns who attempted to correct Western media propaganda about kidnapped civilians in Lattakia, HRW has made a name for itself as one of the loudest shill organizations originating out of Soros Land.
Kenneth Roth, however, appears to be in a race with his own organization to see who can discredit and/or humiliate him/itself the most. Obviously banking on the short attention span of his audience, Roth's Twitter account has now become a display of hypocrisy, propaganda, and contradictions ripe for mockery for anyone who visits it.
For instance, going back over a year, Roth tweeted an absurd statement that "Assad released jihadist Zahran Alloush from jail June 2011 – part of effort to taint uprising." Roth thus suggested the conspiracy theory that Bashar al-Assad released the Jaish al-Islam terrorist Alloush so that Alloush would radicalize the "opposition" (who were already slaughtering and torturing civilians as well as demanding extreme Sharia law) so that he could then crack down on the "opposition" (which he was allegedly already "cracking down" on) and use the radical nature of the "opposition" to justify his crackdown. Roth is suggesting that Assad would multiply and militarize a "peaceful" revolution he was already cracking down upon for public relations. This is a difficult pill to swallow unless the audience is inhabiting a place located as far away from reality as Roth himself.
The question for Mr. Roth then becomes, "Which conspiracy theory do you really believe? The first or the second? Do you believe either of them?" We certainly don't.
Roth's inconsistency is not atypical of Western Soros-backed "humanitarian" organizations or of the mainstream media. But how can anyone take Roth or Human Rights Watch seriously when he and his organization engage in such obvious pro-war propaganda. Even more so, how can either be taken seriously when their propaganda becomes so inconsistent and contradictory within a matter of days?
Please follow SGT Report on Twitter & help share the message.

Client Testimonials
Very good
Adam has ben teaching me guitar for the past year and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! He makes it fun with his enthusiasm and his patience. This is the only service that I have used. Thanks!
Friendly staff and nice location
It is honestly one of the most phenomenal warm places I had ever experienced. The staff couldn't be any more polite, the social dynamic is wonderful. I have only been there twice and it has made quite a great positive impression on me. Anyone interested in music in Orlando HAS to go to the Orlando School of Music without a doubt, 12/10.
My 3yrs old son,First name removed is diagnosed with mild ASD and from the start we are happy for the service and best accommodation from the front desk to the music teachers. Fist we had Jason who was so friendly and supportive of First name removed and then we were able to meet Joanna who goes beyond being a music teacher and be another resource for First name removed cause she always have another alternative for First name removed to respond to her. Before First name removed just sit for 15 minutes and wander around the room but now he sits the full 30 minutes and do a lot of activities with Joanna and even play the piano and sing a few words of the jingle bells while playing the piano. Its not a lot but to me as a parent of a special need child it is a positive response and a good one. We didnt know if First name removed will respond to music the first day we started and the following sessions but now we are happy to stick on it and be able to take it one day at a time. Thank you so much.
My daughter loves piano and loves her teacher!
I love the caring teachers and helpful staff.
The professionalism of ALL staff and instructors. Excellent communications and follow-up. Very comfortable environment and easily accessible from where we live. Even the 2nd location on Lake Underhill where we had to be rescheduled one of the lessons. Very nice facility there as well.
Staffs esp. Phil are very accommodating and flexible to our request .
Excellent music teachers. Nice locations.
Every lesson seems so personal and the attention given is so awesome. My granddaughter has just soared since she has become a student. Luis is an awesome teacher
It's a nice clean professional environment for my 5 year old son.
I love my teacher and how he pushes me
Very happy with my 1st class. Everyone is very nice .. Thank you
Friendly service, the teachers are very educated and know what ther doing. I love my teacher he is great
Professional, on time, friendly..and I see a Good progress in my child talent
Organized and great place to lesrn
Great teachers. Sensitive and flexible managers.
Everything! I like the teachers, the commitment Avalon School of Music has to make me learn and enjoy music! Thank you!
I like the convenience/location, friendliness of office managers, Wunderkeys is offered and that there are a number of teachers to choose from so I could try a couple to find the right fit for my daughter. Michael Thomas is awesome for Wunderkeys (I've already recommended him to a friend after our first session) and I hope to be able to get regular weekly lessons set up for my daughter soon.

I have to say that these three reasons are definitely killers. To be able to make it big in social media, you must grab a user's attention and once you're done with the first step, the new challenge is to keep them glued in all your activities. I am pretty sure that wit, comedy and correct informations will win millions of eyes. Being viral is difficult if you keep your creative juices limited and won't even try to put something that will make you remarkable in order to standout. Kill crowd boredom and don't be afraid to be audacious.
Oct 1 Posted 4 years ago
Love the three reasons, Brad. Number one is so blatantly obvious, but it's amazing how often we overlook that. I know many people-especially those who post everyday- can get away with an occasional pitching post, but I bet their "shareability" on those posts is really low, as you pointed out. We see those posts from big names and think we can get away with that too, but we can't.

Thanks Kent, couldn't agree more. News-type sites are really bad like you said. It's really annoying to see the same original article or press release on 10 different sites.
Oct 1 Posted 4 years ago
liked that ad campaign by the beer company. It really attacks the "manhood" of men, and that definitely works: may it be in a brawl.. or an ad.
Oct 1 Posted 4 years ago
Hi Brad, the 3rd point kills a lot of blogs and business. I read blogs everyday and I have subscribed more than 100 blogs. I can say that almost 90% of the blogs have no differentiation. For example, when Google launched Google+, 90% of tech blogs analyze that topic from the same perspective (even some of the world top blogs), sorry, no differentiation.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Just when the New York Rangers welcomed back one important player, another went down with an injury.
Erik Christensen (FSY) and Alex Frolov scored 15 seconds apart to spark a four-goal third period, and the Rangers rallied for a 4-1 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, their third win in four games and ninth in 13.
GAME REPORT: Rangers 4, Penguins 1
New York captain Chris Drury (FSY) played in only his second game this season due to a broken finger, but teammate Ryan Callahan (FSY) is expected to be out six weeks after breaking his left hand.
Callahan was injured when he blocked a shot in the first period by Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (FSY).
"I'm not going to sit here and pretend. That's a big loss to us in Callahan," Rangers coach John Tortorella said of his second-leading scorer, who will be evaluated Thursday in New York. "I felt it right away as a coach on the bench as far as the situations that we use him in.
"We'll do it the right away. They've handled these situations and they had experience, and we'll get through this."
Sidney Crosby (FSY) extended his point streak to a career-high 20 games when he assisted on Evgeni Malkin's (FSY) first-period goal, but the Penguins lost for the second consecutive night after winning 12 in a row.
Christensen tied it with 9:50 to play, while New York was on the power play, and Frolov gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead by burying his own rebound at 10:25.
Artem Anisimov (FSY) and Brian Boyle (FSY) scored 34 seconds apart less than five minutes later to ice the Rangers' first win in regulation in Pittsburgh since Jan. 19, 2006 — a span of 16 games.
"It's a great win in a lot of ways," said Henrik Lundqvist (FSY), who made 27 saves. "I think we won because we stuck to the system. We didn't start taking chances. We believed we could come back in this game, and once we got the first one, we kept going. It was a great team effort."
Frolov assisted on Boyle's goal to give him three points in two games and his first multipoint game since having two goals and two assists against the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 14.
The Penguins were 9-0-2 against the Rangers in the past 11 overall, but they lost in overtime on Callahan's goal in the team's previous meeting this season in Pittsburgh. That was the Penguins' previous loss before they fell at the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, a span of seven consecutive home wins.
Tortorella had intended to keep Drury's ice time down after he missed 31 of the first 32 games, but that plan was negated when Drury was forced to fill in for Callahan. Drury was a plus-1 and played on both specialty teams.
"It's unfortunate, Drury and now Cally," Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi said. "It's part of the game, I guess. They're sacrificing the body for the team. We got the win, but that's a tough loss in Cally."
In the previous meeting between the teams on Nov. 29, Callahan fell while tangled up with Crosby at Madison Square Garden. Several Rangers — most notably Brandon Dubinsky (FSY)— accused Crosby of a slew-foot on the play, which resulted only in an interference penalty against Callahan.
The teams traded verbal barbs through the news media over Crosby's perceived dirty play, but there were no visible acts of retribution aimed at Crosby on Wednesday.
Crosby extended this season's longest scoring streak when he fed Malkin during a give-and-go with 13 seconds left in the first.
Making his first start since Nov. 27, Pittsburgh backup goalie Brent Johnson (FSY) was in line for his second shutout of the season until he was beaten by a wrist shot by Christensen.
"There's no excuses," Johnson said. "You can't give up four goals in the third period — it doesn't matter if you've been sitting for a while."
After Frolov gave the Rangers the lead, Crosby thought he scored the tying goal with 6:19 to play when he got a piece of Malkin's shot and put it past Lundqvist. The goal was immediately waved off when officials ruled that Pascal Dupuis (FSY) made incidental contact with Lundqvist. The Penguins protested that Dupuis was pushed into Lundqvist by Rangers defenseman Michal Rozsival (FSY).
"It was close. Whether or not it affected the goalie making the save is a decision the referee had to make in a split-second," Crosby said. "He made the call, but besides that we still could have done a better job in the third, and we paid for it."
Anisimov scored for the fourth time in nine career games against the Penguins on a spectacular effort with 5:05 left.
NOTES: New York is an NHL-best 12-5 on the road. ... The Rangers killed all three Penguins power plays and 56 of the last 63 overall.

Mitigation after Hurricane Isaac
Mandeville, La., Sep. 10, 2012 --Two homes in the old section of Mandeville, La. demonstrate the difference in damage suffered after Hurricane Isaac swept through the area. The house on the right was raised 12 feet after Hurricane Katrina and had minimal damage while the house on the left had major damage due to flooding. FEMA is working with local, state and other federal agencies to provide assistance to homeowners who want to raise their homes to protect them against future potential flooding.

A collaboration of UNM law student organizations recently organized a "Toxic Tour" for about 30 UNM law and graduate students and faculty to raise awareness of Albuquerque-area communities that are affected by "environmental injustice".
The purpose of the tour was to build connections between law and graduate students and members of these communities, with a long-term goal of inspiring students to consider working in social justice fields and increasing the communities' access to legal and political resources.
Sites visited on the tour included the South Valley community of Mountain View, which is 73 percent Hispanic and home to 76 junkyards, seven chemical facilities, 35 hazardous waste facilities and a sewage treatment plant. Also on the tour was Pajarito Mesa, whose residents lack access to running water and electricity and are exposed to heavy truck traffic and dust from the Southwest Landfill. The tour concluded at Petroglyph National Monument, a sacred site for many of New Mexico's indigenous peoples.
The SouthWest Organizing Project, Sacred Alliance for Grassroots Equality, the South Valley Community of Pajarito Mesa and South Valley Partners for Environmental Justice — all grassroots community organizations that have spent many years fighting for social and environmental justice — provided guides at each site.
Environmental justice is the principle that all people, regardless of socio-economic status, race or ethnicity, should be able to live, work and raise their children in a safe, clean, healthy environment.
The student groups that organized the tour were the Environmental Law Society, the Mexican American Law Student Association (MALSA), the Native American Law Students Association, the Association of Public Interest Law, the student chapter of the ACLU, the Student Health Law Association, the Women's Law Caucus, the Student Bar Association and the Graduate and Professional Student Association.
"As an organization dedicated to supporting the Hispanic community in New Mexico, MALSA supports efforts to promote environmental equality within our communities so that all of our children and families are afforded the opportunities to grow, thrive and pursue higher education without the additional burden of poor community health and quality of life," says Chris Melendrez, a 3L and MALSA member. "The opportunity to drink clean water and breathe clean air is easily taken for granted, but touring areas afflicted with unhealthy conditions serves as a reminder of the work that still must be done in order to bring equal opportunity to all New Mexico communities."

parent.frames[1].history.back()When the back button is pressed, the code above is activated. The code simply tells frame 1 to go back one level in its history. The code for the forward button is almost identical except in place of back() the code uses forward(). There is also another way to navigate through the history of a frame:
parent.frames[1].history.go(-1)The negative 'one' in parenthesis instructs the frame to go back one level. To go forward make 'one' positive. This code does the same thing as the first example. However, it can be used to jump more than one level at a time. If you want to go back two levels just change the code to go(-2). Take a look at the bottom frame again; notice the jump button and the numbers -2, -1, +1, +2. If you select one of the numbers and then press jump, the the main frame will move in its history the number you select. So if you choose -2 and press jump, this frame will move back 2 levels in its history. This is one way of using the go(x) method to travel through the history of a frame.

Unfortunately, Alzheimer's is more prevalent today than ever before. Perhaps this is because life expectancy is longer than ever before as well. Early research seemed to indicate that this debilitating mental disease was passed on primarily through genetic lines. But according to Paul Thompson, professor of neurology at the University of California-Los Angeles School of Medicine, new research suggests that genetics is a powerful factor, but not the dominant force. In fact, there are many activities that seem to reduce one's susceptibility to Alzheimer's and other similar diseases. Here are 6 activities that increase the health of your brain which reduces the onset in symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease:
While there is no cure for Alzheimer's at this point, by understanding more about Alzheimer's, we can slow the development. If you or a loved one are suffering from Alzheimer's, it is important to be proactive about the medical and legal planning. You should consider a consultation with an estate planning lawyer to discuss the legal options before it becomes too late.

Of all the arguments dogging a plan to reduce homelessness in and around the state capital, the most persistent may be that the numbers just don't add up.
Leaders would replace an at-capacity 1,100-bed shelter with three smaller shelters that would house between 600 and 700 beds, total.
What happens to the other 400 to 500 people?
The Department of Workforce Services has an answer that it presented Monday to the nonprofit owners of Salt Lake City's downtown emergency shelter at 210 S. Rio Grande St.
Its data comes from budget analyses that drove stakeholders' decision to shift gears midway through the legislative session — going from four proposed sites in Salt Lake City to two and placing another shelter in Salt Lake County.

Mossberg 500 or Remington 870
Hey guys,
Im in the market for my first shotgun. I am torn between the 2 above models and would like to get insight from some of you that may own them or know more about them. FYI this will be a dual purpose firearm as I will use for some hunting but mostly home protection. I tend to lean more on the tactical side as I would prefer a pistol grip. Let me know what ya think!
Neither look at the benelli nova or Winchester super x pump
2 Attachment(s)
Mossberg 500 with Recoil Absorbing 6 Position Folding Shotgun stock with Tactical Forend that's my set up and is more than perfect for home defense and hunting. Stock folds to the side as well
Considered both of those for my first shotgun, went with an IAC Hawk 982 which is an 870 clone. INCREDIBLE gun for the cost (under $300). Holds 5+1 and comes with ghost ring sites!
Check out the new CZ612 model. It is coming very soon later in the month. 870's I have heard are too heavy. If anything, a mossberg 500. 870 is more of a police duty firearm TBH I am not an expert, just giving my philosophy.
Remington 870 shotguns, the best selling shotgun in history. Need I say more?
I own one of each they are both great just pick the one you like better or buy them both haha.its funny how these are YOUR 2 decisions and every one wants you to pick different models.
cant go wrong with either. i bought a mossy 500, but that was because i already had a 700P and wanted to branch out lol. sanded it down to get rid of the bluing (i hate bluing) and duracoated it. holds 7+1, use it for home defense and F-ing around whilst shooting with my buddies, so i wanted something that was high capacity without having to buy a mag extension like you do with the 870.
put a flashlight on it
tritium front bead
and added an aluminum extended safety button
i'd say i have $450-$475 in it including the cost of the duracoat.

Whether you are only playing once in a while or are on tour most of the year, adding casters to your guitar cabinet can help you or your road crew move it quickly and easily and save your back from being injured by heavy lifting. Either permanent or removable, these wheels can be a great addition to your cabinet to allow the sound to bloom by lifting it off the ground as well as making it easier to hear on large stages.
Permanent Casters
Drill casters into the bottom of your guitar cabinet. These casters are available in multiple sizes and can be purchased at any guitar supply store or home improvement store in your area and are a permanent installation which will raise the cabinet from the floor. Although this may lower bass response, they may help you hear yourself better on stage as well.
Drill each caster into the wood with four wood screws. There are different sized casters available, with two inches being the sturdiest and ideal for heavier cabinets made by Mesa Boogie and Marshall. One-inch casters may be more appropriate for smaller cabinets and 2 X 12" cabinets. Use a power drill to tighten the screws and place a caster on each corner about a half-inch from the back and sides for good stability while moving the cabinet on tour or at local shows and practice. Although locking casters are often not necessary, they can help cabinets stay in place.
Pop-Out Casters
Drill four 5/8-inch holes in the bottom of your cabinet. Pop-out casters are great when you need to set your cabinet on the ground, touching the floor as the wheels are easy to insert and remove. You want to drill the 5/8-inch holes about 1 and 3/4 of an inch from the back and sides on the bottom of the cabinet. These holes will be used to accept the receptacle for the removable casters.
Drill the receptacles into the bottom of the cabinet. Each receptacle has a 1/2-inch sleeve that will accept the shaft of each caster. Place the shaft in the hole you have drilled and drill the four wood screws on each corner in to secure it. This will allow you to insert and remove casters for moving your cabinet. This will keep the look of a wheel-less cabinet but allow for easy moving and traveling.

Anthony, Knicks complete home-and-home sweep of RaptorsMar 24, 2013 - 6:25 AM
With his knee issues seemingly behind him, Anthony has compiled 86 total points in his three games since returning from injury, and on Saturday helped his squad to a fourth straight win.
After his best performance in a Knick uniform during New York's 99-94 win over Toronto on Friday, Kenyon Martin came back a day later with 18 points, seven boards and two blocks. J.R. Smith added 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting off the bench.
"He's so active around the rim, offensively, in terms of putbacks and he's always been a good pick-and-roll player. That is a plus for us the way we play. He is a major plus for our ball club," Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said of Martin.
The Raptors, losers of four in a row and 12 of their last 16, were without Rudy Gay after he injured his back in Friday's loss. DeMar DeRozan scored a team-high 17 points, while Alan Anderson and Kyle Lowry poured in 14 apiece.
"Couldn't get Carmelo under control. They're one of the most lethal 3-point shooting teams. They were getting their rhythm back, so that caused a problem. I thought the fight was there," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said.
Anthony capped an 11-point first quarter with a 3-point play and New York was ahead 21-12 with just over two minutes left in the period, but three straight turnovers from Smith helped cut Toronto's deficit to four at 21-17.
The Raptors drew even at 27-27 just over three minutes into the second quarter on a driving score from Lowry, but the Knicks surged back in front following back-to-back 3-pointers from reserves Steve Novak and Chris Copeland.
The Knicks held the advantage through the rest of the half, and behind the play of Anthony and Martin, carried a 59-47 edge at the break.
The duo combined for the team's last 13 points of the quarter, with Martin following consecutive jumpers from Anthony with his second vicious slam of the period. His ensuing 3-point play then created the 12-point spread.
Just over five minutes into the third quarter, Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert had New York's lead up to 17 after burying 3-pointers 40 seconds apart from one another. A 3-point play later on from Anthony gave the Knicks a 78-60 advantage.
Down 82-67 after three quarters, the Raptors got the deficit down to 13 after DeRozan opened the fourth with a layup, but never reduced it further. The Knicks capped the dominating performance with a 57.9 shooting percentage in the final frame, while leading by as many 27 points.
Game Notes
Knicks guard Jason Kidd turned 40 years old on Friday. He joins teammate Kurt Thomas and assistant coach Herb Williams as the only players to play for New York at that age ... The Knicks made 7-of-19 shots from 3-point range, while the Raptors converted just 4-of-23 ... New York scored 25 points off 18 Toronto turnovers.

I'm not stupid. I didn't exactly commandeer mathematics, but I know that if the four guys that approached us, at the club, are only speaking to three out of four of us, something isn't right. I'd brush down my dress, re-position the hair that brushed my shoulders, and suck in my stomach, praying my Spanx wouldn't roll down. Once I'd look up, and stare over at the hourglass bodies that accompanied me, I would confront the notion. They weren't speaking to me because of my size. Plain and simple.
Image: James Peragine via Shutterstock
In college, my friends were all slimmer than me. They were also either unconsciously or inherently evil. Forever 21 party shopping would turn into comedic adventures, when they'd hand my size fourteen figure medium sized dresses.
It's gonna accentuate your curves girl!
You need to tighten it up, spandex is always a good idea.
Men like meat, I swear they do.
I'm still not sure whether they were trying to boost my confidence or make themselves look better, but I prayed it wasn't the latter.
With this prayer, in tact, I'd sit at the bar or in the cove of a lounge and wait for the conversation to divert to me. Men would swarm my slimmer friends, buying drinks and pushing their business cards into eager hands. I'd sit in the illumination of my phone and only join in when beckoned, usually by default.
"Oh you're a producer? Awesome. My friend Erica is an emcee. You guys should totally work together, she's amazing."
"You're a writer! Great profession! Erica writes, she's always penning something great!"
The men would look at me and smile, sometimes responding with delight, an excitement that screamed, "Be nice to the fat girl or else you won't get any tonight."
Even the good boys were guilty. They'd inquire my name and profession and bounce their attention between the woman they were truly into and me.
I was no fool. It was all in the gestures: The way their hands accidentally touched hers when handing her a drink, the soft purr that lined the words they spouted, the longing embedded in their drunken eyes.
Perhaps it was the lack of vulnerability? Was I projecting too much self-sufficiency, a stare of stay away? Did my movement and gestures say, come over and speak to me?
I'd then turn to my right, to the most hardcore converted tomboy of the group. She wore a basketball jersey by day and a freakum dress by night. She was a size four, but she was also a burping, I-don't-need-a-man, loud fool. Nope, it wasn't vulnerability.
Because of my unwavering ability to be invisible, the girls started to find new roles for me. Discreet text messages would pop up on my phone.
"Get him to leave me alone."
"Distract me, he's ugly!"
"Ew, ewwww!"
I'd put on my imaginary bodyguard suit and entertain myself for the night. I'd tell ugly and incessant men to beat it, using a portion of my why-didn't-you-notice-me anger. Soon, I wasn't just the big girl of the group, I was also the "blocker". Go figure.
On one of those uneventful nights, excluding the night the "blocking" turned into a parking lot brawl, one of the finest brothers of our campus rolled up to the bar. He came, he saw, and he conquered my roommate. Not necessarily in that order. She finagled him like she did all of her other men. He spent Tuesday and Thursdays in our abode, while her other fling got Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When he came over, he engaged me. He thought it was dope that I could always be found reading or writing. He asked me for book recommendations and I lent him texts that would elevate his mind, while my roommate opted for a more metaphorical reenactment of the phrase. We spoke about his aspirations while he waited for her to get dressed. They barely spoke. She'd ask him how she looked and he'd say "great"; the next sounds would be muffled with headphones, because I didn't care to partake in the audio version, of their intercourse.
After she dumped him, he came to collect his things and his beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. "This is the last time I'll be here," he said.
I smiled, "I know. I heard. Hope everything goes well."
Before he said goodnight, he spoke once more, "Were you at the club, the night I met her? It should have been you, you know. You're everything I want in a woman."
For a second I considered him. I wanted to believe his words, but suddenly my memories of invisibility and scarce acknowledgement kicked in.
"Goodnight homie." I said.
I walked back to the room with the realization that I wasn't see-through, after all. Just fat.
More from love

This review was conducted by the Fanon Review Squad and reflects our best judgment of writing and fanon authorship quality. Please don't take offense if the review wasn't positive. We always give advice!
Today's review is Writings of Ai by RageOfFluffy.
Overview: It is 3 AG and the Air Nomads have been brought to tatters, the Fire Nation burns the world! Only few Airbenders remain, only few survive... One of these cases being Ai.
Ai believes himself to be the last Airbender left in this dark world, cursed to wander in the guise of a young Fire Nation writer. His search for hope takes many turns and twists along the way. During his travels, Ai will face many fears and desires and take a journey not only of flesh, but of spiritual growth and hope. Perhaps one day... One day he can unite a broken world...
Script: Excellently well done. Character thoughts are extremely in depth and well played out. 9.3/10
Story: Air Nomads before the War is a storyline that has been so far rarely explored. Ai takes the story of a nomad in exile and delivers. Well done. 9.3/10
Keeps You Reading: As one reader notes, you just breeze right through the chapters. 9.6/10
Character Development: Backstory is a feature of the story that contributes a lot. Bits and pieces of the main character are added little by little with every chapter. 9.4/10
General Writing: Quite well done. The description is detailed, the script is good, the characters are believable. My one piece of advice to you: keep writing. Maybe throw in a little action too, but that's just a thought on my part. 9.4/10
Overall: 9.4/10
