Ok I know I didn't do this in the first chapter and I have no idea why.
Shelti: Make it interesting?
Ky: *yawn* What didn't they do?
I don't own Star Wars Or Lord Of The Rings or I would be sitting in Skywalker Ranch right now.
Shelti: And she'd be George Lucas.
Well not technically I would actually be in Australia filming Episode three and mingling with Samuel L. Jackson and I would probably actually have a boyfriend, Anyway that's besides the point.
Jahari: O_O You mean there's a POINT??
Ky: Gasp. All of that seems like pointless babble to me.
Meet my three friends: Invisible poker dude (IPD)
Shelti: Poker! ^_^ I see your Sue and I raise you a Stu.
Ky:....Say what?
IPD: Hi!!!
Shelti: Hi!!!
Ky: Goodbye! *shoots IPD*
Me: Nightcrawler
Ky: Is sexxy.
Jahari: O.o She's Nightcrawler?
Ky: O_O WHAT?!
Nightcrawler: Guetentag
Ky: *sobs* NOOOOO! NIGHTCRAWLER! ;____; ESCAPE! BE FREEEE! DON'T BE CORRUPTED!
Shelti: *TWITCH* MISSPELLED. And Kurt belongs to Ay!
Me: and Tino Tonitini
Jahari: But I thought you were Nightcrawler.
Ky: *sob* Kuuuuuuuuuurt....;____; Poor, poor Kurt..
Tino: Howdy! (Waves)
Ky: *sobs loudly* NIGHTCRAWLER! ;_;
Jahari: Wave yourself!
Shelti: *sobs with Ky* NIGHTCRAWLER! ;_;
Ky: NIGHTCRAAAAWLER! ;_________;
Me: So R&R and well answer n e review.
Shelti: ...DIE.
Ky: *sniffle* Nightcrawler...
Jahari: Quick, who saw that coming?
Shelti: DIE DIE DIE.
Ky: *sniff sniff* Nightcrawler...Poor, poor Nightcrawler...
IPD: Must poke someone!!!
Jahari: *brandishes HIS lightsabre* I'll poke you...
Ky: *grabs Jahari and shakes* NIGHTCRAWLER! ;_;
Tino: Ummm will someone put his straightjacket on?
Shelti: ^_^ Straightjackets are comfy!
Jahari: Yes... Nightcrawler...
Ky: NIGHTCRAWLER! ;_;
Me: Umm we can't. He's invisible!
Shelti: ...DUH.
Ky: *wail* NIIIIGHTCRAAAAAWLER! ;_;
Nightcrawler: The frualien has a point.
Shelti: ...Frualien? She's an alien?
Jahari: Well, that explains a lot.
Ky: NIGHTCRAWLER! She corrupted you! ;_____;
Jahari: *pats* We'll get him back, dear, you'll see.
Ky: *sniff* I hope so.
Shelti: 'Hari! ^_^
Jahari: *hug* We always get them back. *looks at Shelti* What?
Ky: *sniff sniff* Poor Nightcrawler...
Shelti: You hugged her, 'Hari! ^_^
Ky: Is that OOC for him?
Shelti: Well, considering he can't love or lust... exactly... a bit, yes.
Jahari: ...Shut up.
Tom: LESS TALK! MORE MST! *cracks whip*
Ky: Aww, poor Jahari...Can't love, huh? That sucks.
Chapter 2
Shelti: Obi! ^_^ Have a cookie.
Ky: Obi-Wan! He's spiffy.
As Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight, watched his padawans sister she rose about 2 feet off the ground.
Jahari: She can levitate? Oh, and... OBI-WAN!!! ^__________________^
Shelti: o_o; OOCness ahoy.
Her faerie henna tattoo on her arm grew permanent, her hair grew out longer and whipped it self into a half ponytail where the top layer that was up had lots of tiny French braids led to the pony tail where the hair was normal.
All: ...
Ky: *yaaaaawn*
Shelti: Did anyone catch that?
One of the braids fell to her right shoulder to form her padawans braid.
Jahari: I remember having that. x_x; I hated it.
Ky: Please, can we skip this?
The top of her ears became pointy and became elf ears.
Shelti: Yeah, so?
Her eyesight and hearing sharpened to that of an elves.
Ky: *yawn*
Shelti: An Elves? What? Choose an agreement! Sheeesh.
Her freckles became a light sprinkle and her light sabers and bow and arrows became real.
Jahari: *rolls eyes*
Ky: All right, that's it. *gets out MP3 player* Let me know when this stupid description is over. *puts on headphones*
As these changes happened to Shi, Michael floated over next to her as similar changes happened to him.
Shelti: *bursts out laughing* His hair grew long and braided too? Hah!
Jahari: >> Don't make fun of it. I HATED my braid.
When they both came down, a thump was heard over by Madeline.
Ky:....Say what?
Shelti: THUMP.
She had turned back into an elf also.
Shelti: You mean she was an Elf before? Creepy, dude.
Ky: Very much so. o_O;
Everyone's hair had changed back to their original padawan self and hair.
Jahari: ...Wait, doesn't that mean that their hair was a self? How does that work?
Ky: Once again....That makes no sense.
Jessi was now Shi Skywalker-Greenleaf daughter of Legolas Greenleaf and Shmi Skywalker.
Jahari: WHAT?!
Shelti: Ohhh... so THAT's how she did it.... Wait.
Jahari: WHAT?!?!
Ky: WHAT. THE. HELL?!
All: *SPAZ*
Ky: *writhing on the floor* YE GODS, IT BURNSSS! @_@
Jahari: Oh, to Zore with it. *goes off on a bloody beheading rampage and comes back, then dies*
Shelti: 'Hari... you can't die.
Jahari: *rezzes, although he can't die* I know, but I had to let off steam SOMEhow. That was just too painful.
Michael was now Sirithheru Tallbirch Jedi Padawan to Sasee Tiin, Jedi Council member and Jedi Master of the Jedi Order.
Ky: *rolls eyes*
Jahari: *snort* Nice name.
Madeline was now Zelda Catamara Jedi Padawan to Adi Gallia, Jedi Council member and Jedi Master of the Jedi Order.
Shelti: Zelda... Zelda means... LINK!
Julianne was still Julianne Sabatino, Padawan to Depa Billiba, Member of the Jedi Council and Jedi Master of the Jedi Order.
Jahari: I feel compelled to ask... why must we know this?
Ky: Because they automatically assume we want to know EVERYTHING 'bout them, when really we just want to see them shoved off a cliff.
Shelti: Or maybe there'll be a quiz later on.
Kathleen was still Kathleen but her last name was different.
Shelti: She got married.
Ky: *yawn* And we're supposed to care...why?
She was now Kathleen Jadia, Padawan to Plo Koon Jedi Council Member and Jedi Master of the Jedi Order.
Ky: *yawn* Are we supposed to pay attention to this?
Shelti: But, you know, I really must hand it to her -- she does know her Jedi Council trivia.
Ky: *cough* Nerd.
Shelti: No kidding... HEY.
Ky: ^_^
As Shi's feet touched the ground she slowly opened her eyes looked around and smiled as her eyes settled upon Obi-Wan and Anakin.
Jahari: You mean she was still levitating through all of this? O_O
Ky: *yaaaawn* God, this story is so goddamn awful. *glances toward door* Can't we just leave?
Shelti: ...Good question. We should try this. But after the chapter.
Shi also now had a black Jedi cloak like Obi-Wans' brown one.
Jahari: *hugs cloak protectively*
Ky: ...Wait. She had a black cloak like Obi's brown one? ....Oooh.
"Hello Obi-Wan." She said stepping forward and bowing slightly.
Shelti: Then Obi-Wan slapped her on the butt.
Ky: *laugh* Interesting.
Then she turned to Anikan and her smile widened.
Shelti: Then she ate his head.
Ky: Anikan? Anakin's evil twin brother..?
"Hello Ani! It's great to see you again!"
Ky: *twitch*
Shelti: (Anakin) Sure, sis, whatever. Now go, I gotta go impregnate my girlfriend and have twins.
Anakin seemed puzzled for a moment and then he looked at her cocky half smile.
Jahari: *half-smiles*
Shelti: STOP THAT. IT'S DISTURBING.
Ky:...o_O; Um...
Shelti: Don't let him do half-grins and half-smiles and stuff. It looks ... DISTURBING.
Ky:....Um, ok...*whaps Jahari* Stop it.
Jahari: *whapped* I don't think I deserved that.
Then he smiled the same way and said "Hello little one. A pleasure this meeting is."
Shelti: Talking like Yoda, Anakin is.
Ky: Very annoying it will be.
Obi-Wan turned to his padawan with a puzzled expression on his face.
Shelti: What's with all the puzzled Jedi all of a sudden?
"I had no idea you could speak Elvish Anakin!" he said surprised.
Shelti: Elvish Anakin!?
Jahari: The apocalypse is coming.
Ky: Wait. They were speaking Elvish? THANKS FOR TELLING US. *twitch*
Jahari: Elvish!? *covers ears*
Ky: AND SINCE WHEN ARE THERE ELVES IN STAR WARS UNIVERSE? HUH? WHEN?!
Shelti: Odd. I expected 'Hari to have that reaction first.
Ky: *sticks out tongue at Jahari* Ha. Beat ya to it.
Jahari: *is rocking back and forth with his hands over his ears* Can't sleep... Sues will get me... Can't sleep... Sues will get me...
Ky: *pats Jahari on the head* There there...
Anakin smiled sheepishly and said "that's about all I can say though."
Jahari: IT'S ENOUGH. *continues rocking*
Then Shi smiled and said "All have faults but the greater and more perfect people are the ones who admit them and try to improve."
Shelti: Uh-HUH. And this has ANYthing to do with what we're talking about... how?
Ky:...She really fucked that quote up.
Then she laughed because no one else could speak that much elfish other than Michael and Maddy and her so everyone had extremely puzzled looks on their faces.
Shelti: ...STOP WITH THE PUZZLED LOOKS ALREADY!!!
Ky: Elfish? But she just said it was Elvish..
Suddenly there was a loud growl and a whinny behind her.
Ky: A horse...? Jahari: It was the Creatures of the Dark and Light, coming to do justice to the Sue and her evil ways!! ^_^
Shelti: ...I don't think so.
Ky: Most likely not. --;
She whirled around a smile growing on her face as she saw both of her beloved elven bonded animals. (this means they are only killed, injured or hurt when she is and that they can read each other's thoughts.)
Shelti: Elves can do that?
Jahari: Elves are evil.
Ky: *whap* Elves are not evil. Mary Sue Elves are evil.
Jahari: Ok, not ALL Elves are evil. Arwen isn't evil.
Ky: *Twitch twitch*
Jahari: *quickly* Book!Arwen isn't evil.
Ky: >_> Uh huh.
Jahari: What? Sheesh. You fangirls and your Elves...
Ky: *twitch twitch* I just hate Arwench. >_>
Shelti: *whispers to Ky* Long story. Basically, Elves hate Vampires and never treated him kindly.
Ky: *whispers back* You told me. But still..
Shelti: And don't get me started on Arwen. Ok, Glorfindel should have gotten the part, but still... They needed a continuous love story, I suppose.
Ky: *twitch* No they didn't. They completely destroyed Eowyn/Faramir. >_>
Shelti: I know! I hated that! >_> They should have kissed on the wall, not Aragorn and Arwen. Harumph. And that thing about Arwen and the Ring's fate... What WAS that? Though the little kid in the vision was cute. ^_^ He looked like Micah.
Tom: ALL OF YOU. SHUT UP AND MST.
It was her Buckskin Horse Arrow
Jahari: AAAAAAH! IT'S 'ELEDHWEN' ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
and her White Tiger Madison.
Ky: *yawn* Such original names.
Shelti: Buckskin Horse Arrow. An arrow made out of a HORSE??
She smiled and ran over to them and hugged them both.
Shelti: Then the horse stepped on her, and the tiger tore her to shreds.
Ky: Tiger...*_* As in a Siberian tiger? *__*
Then she heard a loud sob behind her. It was the lady who had taken care of her while she was on earth.
Shelti: OH MY GOD. You mean she's still there??
Jean Porter was crying.
Ky: *twitch* WE. DON'T. CARE.
"It was a pleasure having you."
Shelti: (Jean) Now we will sacrifice you to our gods of having people.
Ky: *snigger* 'Having you'?
She said through sobs. Shi walked up to her and said " Thank you for having me" and then they hugged.
Shelti: Jeez, it sounds like they just had a dinner party or something. *looks at Jahari* ...^_^ *hugs him*
Jahari: *hugged* ...o_O;
Ky: Aww...*hugs Jahari*
Jahari: *hugged again* ...O_o;
Suddenly Obi-Wan said, "We have to get your things and leave.
Jahari: (Obi-Wan) Because I am an old stuffed shirt.
We're due back on Coruscant in 2 days and it will take us that long to get there if we leave in 2 hours."
Shelti: Right....What?
Ky: ....Uh....Just smile and nod.
"Ok" everyone replied.
Shelti: *twitch* PARAGRAPHS.
Ky: *pats Shelti on the head* There there.
Shi turned to Jean and asked her for a ride and Jean said ok.
Shelti: I own a pair of jeans. In fact, I own several.
Ky: Of course you do, dear.
About an hour later they were all aboard the Republic Cruiser and breaking through the atmosphere.
Ky: WHAT. THE. HELL?!
Shelti: Ok, this has gotten boring again, except for -- Where did the Cruiser come from??
When they were pulling into Coruscant Shi asked a question, which had obviously been bothering her throughout all of her meditation and training during the two days.
Jahari: *snort* She only trained for TWO days? Oh yeah, that'll be helpful.
Ky: Ok, what? Suddenly two days passed? Gah, this story sucks.
Shelti: Well, it took two days to get to Coruscant and they're in Coruscant now.
"Master Kenobi, Why was I hidden on earth?" she asked Obi-Wan.
Jahari: (Obi-Wan) Because you're annoying and we had to stash you SOMEwhere.
"Why don't you ask your Father that later." He responded.
Shelti: Wait, what is Legolas doing on Coruscant?
Ky:...What? When did Legolas come in?
Shelti: He mentions her father. Her father is Legolas. So it stands to reason --
Jahari: What reason?
Shi nodded, did a slight bow
Shelti: And then Obi-Wan slapped her on the butt.
Ky: XD Stop that, Shelti. It's too amusing.
Shelti: That's why I do it.
and went to go groom Arrow and Madison. Obi-Wan did not approve of her having animals.
Ky: He's really a part of PETA.
As much as he understood that it was part of her culture he disapproved.
Jahari: Because he's an old stuffed shirt.
Shelti: What culture?
Ky: Mary Sue culture.
Having her animals showed attachment.
Ky: ....To what?
Shelti: No, it just shows that she's a Sue.
It was this thing that corrupted and destroyed many Jedi.
Shelti: (little kid) What's attachment?
Jahari: (Obi-Wan) Well, it's this thing, not many know it, but it's this thing that corrupts and destroys many Jedi.
Anakin was distracted from his studies by thoughts of his mother and Padme Amidala former Queen of Naboo.
Shelti: And now she's a senator.
Ky: *blink* Can you say random?
Shelti: DUDE. YEAH. USE PARAGRAPHS!
His sleep time was interrupted by dreams of his mother and his meditation was invaded by horrible visions.
Shelti: Sleep time? Sounds like a little kid... Sleepy time, Anakin!
Ky: Aww...Nappy time! *giggle* Anakin in nappy time, sucking his thumb, cuddling a teddy bear..
Jahari: Didn't his mom die? Oh, wait, he could be having dreams about her death...
Once again, of his mother. He decided to discuss it with Master Yoda and Master Windu.
Ky: ...Wait. But they're not there.
Shelti: Yoda!
Jahari: Yay!
Shelti: Windu!
Jahari: Boo!
Ky: *blink blink*
As they began the landing cycle,
Shelti: The landing cycle? Sounds like some sort of wash cycle... *puts her clothes through a landing cycle*
Obi-Wan sat down in the copilots seat next to Anakin who was flying as everyone else sat down in their seats.
Ky: *monotone* How...exciting...
As he looked around he saw that Shi wasn't there.
Ky: ...She was feeling a bit suicidal that day, and decided to stand on the top of the rocket-thing as it landed.
"Where's Shi?" he asked Michael.
Ky: On the roof, duh. What are you, deaf?
Jahari: (Michael) How the hell should I know?! I'm not her personal monitor, you know.
"She's in the back with Arrow and Madison. She said she was going to groom them while we were landing. Said that she'd be ok." Answered Michael.
Shelti: Ok... so she's one of those people that does weird things at weird times...
Jahari: Like you.
Shelti: Yes. ...HEY...
"She wont be able to stay upright without support!!!" Obi-Wan exclaimed.
Jahari: ...Why...?
Ky: That's right, she's oh-so weak..
Shelti: It's like in Newfoundland... Last time I was there the wind stopped blowing and everybody fell down.
Ky: ....All right. o_O;
Shelti: ...Never mind.
"Hey! My landings aren't that bad!" retorted Anakin heatedly.
Ky: Famous last words. *cough*
" That's not what I meant Ani" Obi-Wan replied, "These cruisers never do landings very well."
Ky: *snort* He called him 'Ani.' He actually called him 'Ani.'
Jahari: Hee. My master never used some sort of nickname. It was always "Padawan", "James", or "Jahari". NEVER "Jaimie"... *glares at Shelti*
Ky: *giggle* Jaimie..
Shelti: ^_^ I like it. And... *TWITCH* USE. PARAGRAPHS.
Ky: *pat pat* Oh, they probably never will.
Then Obi-Wan got up and made his way o the cargo hold where Shi's animals were.
Ky: And when he found her, he slapped her ass.
Shelti: Hey, that's MY line!
Ky: *sticks out tongue*
When he got there the cruiser started going in to the landing cycle.
Shelti: That sounds like a washing machine thingy...
Ky: And after the landing cycle, it goes into tumble dry, low...
As the cruiser broke through Coruscant's atmosphere he almost lost his balance and would have if it hadn't of been for his Jedi training.
Jahari: Jedi training! =D
As he walked into the cargo bay where Arrow and Madison were being kept the cruiser gave another vicious buck.
Shelti: Gotta watch those mean deer.
Ky: *giggles* Yup...Those cargo bays are sure wild things, they are.
While he stumbled barley keeping his balance Obi-Wan saw that Shi barley even twitched and stayed as perfectly in place as though it had never happened.
Ky: *twitch* Ok, I'm no huge Star Wars fan..but COME ON!
Shelti: So Obi-Wan has no ears, so what?
Shelti: Your ears control your balance. Ky: ...Wow, really? I didn't know that. Hmm. Maybe Shi just has huge ears, then. ..Wait. Isn't she supposed to be half-Elf?
Jahari: Yes. << Stupid Elves.. *begins cursing under his breath*
Ky: *whaps Jahari* Don't dis Elves.
Jahari: Can I dis Orcs?
Ky: Of course.
Jahari: ^_^ *swears in Raylen about Orcs*
Ky: ^_^ Much better.
It must be a mix of Elfish magic and the force thought Obi-Wan.
Jahari: SHE DID NOT DO THAT. TELL ME SHE DID NOT DO THAT.
Ky: *twitch twitch*
Shelti: FORCE IS CAPITALISED, YOU -----!!!
Ky:...You're upset over THAT? --;
Just then the cruiser landed.
Shelti: Then it blew up.
Ky: And there was much rejoicing.
Jahari: *montone* Yay.
As it did Shi put a formal bridal piece on arrow that looked like it was made to of vines and leaves.
Shelti: ...She's getting married?
Ky: Ok...What? 'She put a formal bridal piece on arrow..' Does that make any sense? o_O;
"Shi," asked Obi-Wan "is that bridal piece made out of vines and why doesn't it have a bit in the mouth area?"
Jahari: ...Eh?
Ky: ...Say what? o_O; "Hi Obi-Wan.
Shelti: Then he slapped her on the butt.
Ky: XD Knew you were gonna say that.
The bridal is made out of leather but painted to look like vines and leaves.
Jahari: Ok...
Ky: *yawn*
Shelti: !!! I got it! It's not bridal as in wedding, it's a misspelling of BRIDLE! Which I probably misspelled right there..
Ky: No, you spelled it right. Wow, it all makes sense now! ^_^
There is no bit because of our bond.
Shelti: There is no spoon...
Ky: There is only a spork. *nods wisely*
Most elves do not need a bridle or saddle to ride an animal because of our bond with all living things but because I am half human I need to use at least a bridle.
Shelti: Hey, she's spelling it right now.
Jahari: Spiffy.
Ky: It's called the COMMA. COMMA. C-O-M-M-A.
Since I have a birth bond With Arrow and he is my bonded horse I don't need a bit because we communicate by thought.
Shelti: ...To restate what she just said...
Replied Shi.
Shelti and Ky: And then Obi-Wan slapped her on the butt.
Just then Zelda came in and grabbed her horse's neck and swung herself onto her back.
Ky: Wait. Who's Zelda?
Jahari: Then Link ran in, yelling, "WAIT! WAIT! YOU'RE IN THE WRONG STORY!!"
Ky: *perks up* Link? Link is one sexy Elfboy.
Zelda's horse was a palomino mare named Camatera.
Ky: Uh oh....She's going into 'description mode.'
Shelti: O_o; Her horse was a boat?
Jahari: No, that's a catamaran.
As she landed on Camatera's back Zelda said " Waiting Master Yoda Is."
Jahari: Yoda, Zelda seems to have morphed into.
Ky: O_O AAAHH! You mean she turned into the amazing jumping flea?! Scary.
Jahari: Yoda is NOT A FLEA!!!
At this Shi smiled leapt up on Arrow and started out the door with Madison on her heels.
Ky: *snigger* Right.
Ky: *blink* What about Obi-Wan?
Shelti: O_o; He either vanished or Shi has an incredibly bad memory.
Ky:...Or he slapped her butt and walked off.
Obi-Wan walked behind them all of the way to the hatchway.
Shelti: Ah, there he is.
Ky: He was only following them to see if he would get another chance to slap her ass.
All the way they talked laughed and joked around.
Shelti: COMMA.
Ky: And the author completely forgot everything they'd learned in 3rd grade, and forgot all about commas.
Obi-wan listened feeling very amused.
Shelti: You're a one-man fan club there, Obs.
Ky:...Obs? o_O;
Jahari: -.-; Shelti, queen of the dumb nicknames.
Shelti: You know it, Fuzzy.
Jahari: Argh!
Ky: *giggle* Fuzzy! *pinches Jahari's cheeks* Wittle Fuzzy-Wuzzy!
Jahari: ...
Ky: ^_^;; Sorry.
It was very rare that a Jedi could find such a strong friend.
Ky: Yes, because all Jedi know that friendship is BAD.
Jahari: *feels special* I have several good friends.
Shelti: Including a BOYfriend...
Ky: Yeah, I still have to meet him!
Jahari: >>; SHUT. UP.
Even another Jedi would not be this friendly with you.
Ky: Aww, that's just mean! Are Jedi very stuffy, self-absorbed people?
Shelti: *giggles* Friendly... *looks at Jahari* Yup, not many Jedi... this friendly... *giggles more*
Jahari: -_____-;;;;
He supposed that that was one of the perks of living away from the Jedi for a while.
Shelti: You mean there are PERKS?? Serious Obi-Wan OOCness over here.
Ky: Well so is him slapping her ass.
Shelti: Very true. But we can do that. We're MSTers. =P
Ky: ^_^ Ah, true.
You learn the value of friendship.
Ky: o_o; Are the Jedi really such cold-hearted bastards?
Shelti: Aw, it's so sweet, so charming, so...
Jahari: Stupid.
As Obi-wan stepped up next to Anakin and headed down the ramp he was wondering if he would ever have that kind of friendship with a person.
Shelti: ... *begins giggling madly*
Ky: XD Poor wittle Obi-wan. He's not getting any.
As he was thinking this Shi had greeted Master Yoda and had mounted her horse.
Ky: ...But she was already on her horse. o_o;
Shelti: Why? To ride it through the vast fields of Coruscant...?
Jahari: What fields?
Ky: Coruscant is desert, right?
Shelti: No. It's completely city.
Ky:....Oh. *cough* I knew that. >_>;
Just then Shi galloped over the side of the platform!
All: *burst out laughing*
Shelti: As if to PROVE that she has no brain at all...
Ky: Thus ends this horrible story. Can we leave?
Shelti: No. It hasn't ended yet...
Tom: The very PARAGRAPH hasn't ended yet. Besides, I locked the doors and set mini-Aragog and mini-Balrog guards at it. So ... there is no escape for you. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Jahari: He speaks like he wants to scare us...
Ky: Well I do have the Big Arse Sword...
Shelti: Eh, let's just stick it out anyway.
Ky: ...Yeah, all right. *eats popcorn*
Ooo that's a cliffhanger for sure!!
Jahari: Not... really...
Ky: *yawn* No, not really. Just wishful thinking.
So wat did u think?
Shelti: Shall we answer this?
Jahari: I will if you two will.
Ky: *shrug* Sure.
Shelti: We hated it.
Jahari: We didn't understand it.
Ky: It sucks. I've read kiddy stories with a better plot.
IPD: It was pokerific!!
Shelti: Eh?
Ky: It was...edible?
Tino: Ya it was good!!
Jahari: LIAR.
Nightcrawler: Ya It was good. I vish u could put up more soon.
Shelti: You're the only one.
Ky:.....KUUUUUUUUUUURT! ;________________;
Me: I will and if anyone has advice in how to straightjacket an invisible guy let us know.
Shelti: I have one you could borrow.
Ky: *sobs loudly* KUUUUUURT! ;_________;
Tino: Please. And Later Days!!
Shelti: Yeah, yeah, shut up.

Limited CPU Usage Bluehost hosting
Bluehost hosting has limits to all of their "unlimited" data claims. Specifically, if you go over 1,000 database table, 3GB total database or 10% CPU usage (if your website is using a lot of CPU) your account will be deleted or suspended
Many users complained about how slow the websites on the reseller accounts are. They consistently ranked as one of the slowest hosting companies. Their average load times are definitely the biggest negative to be find.
Customer Support
Customer support in Bluehost Hosting is pretty slow. Other Bluehost web hosting reviews might not want to tell you this, but every time you reached out to customer service you will have a long wait.
One Set of Default DNS
Bluehost only has one set of DNS: ns1.BlueHost.com, ns2.BlueHost.com.
Site Migrations
If you have an existing site, Bluehost is going to charge you a $150 transfer fee for migration which some of other hosting companies will do it for free. They also limit you to five sites and 20 email accounts.
Windows Servers
Bluehost only offers Linux servers. Not a huge deal for most users. For those running Windows-specific features, though, it could put a damper on your web hosting plans with BlueHost.
Although Bluehost claim 99.9% uptime, some people experienced frequent downtime.

Many of you may know our purpose here at Forest Hill is to glorify God by making disciples who KNOW Christ, GROW in Christ and GO for Christ. The first step is to KNOW Christ. I hope you enjoy this brief description of what KNOW means to us, from the perspective of our Fort Mill Campus Pastor, Andy Guthe.
"Knowing something is different than having knowledge of something. When we talk of 'knowing' Christ, our desire is that people know who He is. More than that, we desire people to know Him as we would know our families, friends, or coworkers.
There are many religious organizations in the world but FHC does not want to be just another one of these that focuses on self-help. We have found that the only lasting, meaningful change we can offer to people is in introducing people to Jesus. To that end we are committed in everything we do. It is an enterprise not pushed forward by our staff and pastors. It is advanced by the members of our church; people who know and are being known by Christ."
-Andy Guthe, Fort Mill Campus Pastor
2013 Fun Facts:
- Average attendance increased 14.3% from 2012 to 2013 (3964 to 4532)
- Total number of people who came through the newcomer's tent at SP campus 2,137 (Average Newcomer Attendance per month-178)
- Around 27,000 viewers tuned in for online services at foresthill.org/live in 2013

Perfection is just a fantasy word. One I will never achieve. But why do I crave it so much?

Resits are the WORST! I had to resit every exam my fourth year in vet school, which was the worst summer of my life as you could imagine. Just revise what you can because 1/3 of every exam is pure luck. You'll be fine! Nothing bothers me more than "woe is me" people! I mean we all go through tough times and need to rant or vent, but some people get so pessimistic that they forget to look at all the good things in their lives! Best of luck this week xxReplyDelete
You seem to have a lot going on there. One thing I've learned about people and trust is that people are only as good to you as you allow them to be. I know it might sound silly, but it's absolutely true.ReplyDelete
When I select friends, I decide what good they are to me. Will they make me want to be a better person? Will they encourage me to do things that I normally wouldn't because I don't want them to think ill of me? I'm glad they trust me with their secrets, but do they trust everyone with their secrets? Would I be able to trust them with mine?
Life is crazy. It never gets easier either. You just learn to juggle shit until it gets done and then you're on to the next obstacle.
Slow down. Enjoy things. And as my friend, Van Wilder would say, "Don't take life too seriously, You won't get out alive."
Stay strong, babe.
*Huggles* Best of luck and don't forget to take your study breaks! Your brain needs rest between bouts of information absorption!ReplyDelete
Ok, I MUST see IM3 as soon as it's released down here D: YOU TEASE, YOU!
Hi. I once told this guy that i studied physics with that I decided I did not like him and immediately treated him coldly. I did it in public, in front of all the others from our physics class. He got on my nerves. Everyone was like "woahh..." silently but I decided not to care. He was really hurt and didn't understand but I pressed on ignoring him. Three years later i can't remember why he pissed me off, but my life is totally awesome so it probably didn't matter.ReplyDelete


text: We decided to venture out today, and I was awed by the beautiful snow-covered trees and how gorgeous it was outside. We had to pull over and take a few photos. Of course the kids weren't into it as much as I was! It was still snowing and getting into their eyes. I may have to go out alone tomorrow and spend some time capturing the beauty. Happy 2008!!

An angel… Lovely and so lively. It took me 5 minutes to pronounce her name correctly. The niece of Oskar, the owner of the house I am staying at.
Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui (in Polynesian, because these are the roots of most of its inhabitants) or Isla de Pascua (in Spanish, because it belongs to Chile) is like not other place you have ever been to. Would it only be because it's far from everything. Some people advance it is the most remote inhabited place on earth. It is not really the one but one of them. Only five hours flying from Santiago in Chile (3600km) and likewise from Tahiti. These are the two only aerial access points.
Evidence I was there. And that it belongs to Chile. Fact : no income tax is levied here.
I have been traveling for months but have never seen anything quite like this, landscape-wise…
… and atmosphere-wise. Feeling serenity.
The Rano Kau volcano at the South Western tip of the island. Easter Island is a volcanic island of course. I highly recommend clicking on most of the pictures below for high resolution views.
I warned you, you have never seen such a scenery.
Now, the video.
The Motu Nui islet. The Birdman legend says that throne claimers competed to swim to Motu Nui to get first the first egg left by the divine bird on the island. Not a piece of cake considering the distance and the raging waves.
People used to live in these caves facing the sea.
Moais ? No. Wait.
I cannot get enough of Rano Kau.
Thank g.od I could fix my camera in Santiago before coming here.
A Moai's hat…
Experimental photography.
I have never seen such violent waves.
You don't see many people on the pictures. It is because the island is barely inhabited. Only 4,000. At one point in time, the population rose up to slightly above 15,000 but the island resources could not sustain everyone, so it went down quickly through famines and slaughters.
As moais are emblematic figure of the island, local artisans sell small scaled replicas. The white sweater girl looks at me like she is going to punch me in the face. Still a mystery to me.
Sorrow and desperation, even in a gorgeous environment. That sick skinny horse could barely walk. Heart-breaking sight. He was probably thinking of all these wasted years galloping in the island for fun while he could have trained for race and be given proper medical attention. Such is life.
Fierce !
Or not…
Me. Hello mum.
Ahu Tongariki counts 15 moais standing, turning their back to the sea (as most of the moais do on the island) and as such is the biggest alignment of moais in the whole island.
A hell of a moai. I believe 14 meters high, maybe the highest standing.
I take the picture there because we are not allowed to get closer. The guards fear something may happen, something due to the stupidity of tourists. And they are right : tourists are stupid and things happen – although rarely. The story of one extremely stupid Scandinavian tourist down this page.
Some moais have hats, most don't. I don't know why. Notice the facial structure. Four can be differentiated.
Still Ahu Tongariki, from the side. Honing my photographic skills (and probably boring you).
The full alignment, what many postcards from here look like. It should be noted that the costly renovation of Ahu Tongariki has been offered by Japan. Seeing the number of Japanese tourists, it is not a surprise.
This one solo moai faced the precedent alignment. It is believed the carvers did not have time to bring him from the hill to the pedestal.
Our guide, singing Polynesian songs with a mandolin-like instrument.
The actual song.
"Do not step on Moais, even dead" could be a transliteration of this graphic. I know transliteration is not the correct word, but cannot find it right now. Any help ?
For you all French people (and other), who does this (Moai) profile makes you think of ? Think hard, give yourself a few seconds.
Call me crazy, but I see former president Jacques Chirac. No ?
Now, moais facing the sea. There aren't that many of them. One explanation is that they are very close to the carving zone and were being brought to the shore – but never to completion.
Locals fishing.
A magnetic/magic/electric stone (supposedly), above which you should place your hands without touching. Unlike most other participants, I did not feel anything.
Although the island is tiny (about 10km by 15km), there is the pristine Anakena beach.
White sand, palm trees, quietness, Polynesians…
… and tourists.
Not too many though. Only LAN is operating a daily flight from Santiago and one from Tahiti. Last year, 50,000 tourists, meaning no more than 150 on any given day, on average. The price of the flight (from 600USD return) also justifies the exclusiveness.
More locals and bended trees.
Moais sunbathing at the beach. How cool is that ? You see the third one from the right ? There is a story about it that will be revealed in the next post, also about Rapa Nui. Yeah, the story about the stupid Scandinavian tourist. Sorry, not this time.
Surfers struggling against the forceful beach before sunset. With all these rocks, it takes more foolishness than bravery or skills. Or maybe an equal amount of the three.
I like Swedish girls. I mean I LOVE Swedish girls, in general. I have met (met only) plenty of them in Africa and South America. What does this have to do with Johan, humming and smelling chew-able tobacco (eeewww!) in the picture below ?
Well, he's Swedish and so is Jacob on the right. Both have been in Chile for a month studying dental health (they are dentist) and made the trip to Easter Island before going back home. Left is Scott the Scottish, staying at Oskar with me. Center right is a dark and mysterious, gorgeous up-and-coming model going by the name Larzizou.
On the way back home, after a less than succulent seafood dinner, we meet this drunk horserider (left, with the beard). He offers us marijuana and then let us mount his (tired) horse. Then makes him drink beer. And insults him. And rides away. And comes back, too drunk to remember that we already met two minutes before.

The Louisville-based company said operating earnings will be between 20 cents and 24 cents per share for the first quarter. Wall Street analysts were expecting 34 cents, according to a survey by First Call. Shares of Humana fell $6.06 to $10.13 in heavy morning trading. Humana said it will record $90 million in additional medical claims expenses, largely because of higher rates to hospital chain Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. as part of a new contract in Florida.

76ers rank No. 1 in NBA power rankings
Sure it might not last. But for now, let's rejoice.
In its NBA power rankings, the new-look Philadelphia 76ers ranked No. 1 overall. That's quite a jump considering that Yahoo! ranked them last just one week ago.
The Sixers are 3-0 and have impressive wins against the NBA champion Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. Rookie Michael Carter-Williams looks dazzling at times and the team encompasses a never-say-die attitude, evidenced by their two come-from-behind wins.
Here's what Yahoo! had to say:
(3-0; last week's ranking: 30): After entering the season with what was considered the league's weakest roster, the Sixers and rookie Michael Carter-Williams beat reigning champion Miami, Washington (on the road) and Chicago. Reality could hit soon, but, for now, the Sixers can enjoy the top spot.
ESPN also issued it's NBA power rankings, moving the Sixers from 30th to 10th. Here's more:
The madness continues when the Warriors visit on Monday. Philly will be going for its first 4-0 start since the Allen Iverson-led team that made the Finals went 10-0 in 2000-01 and the MCW/Steph matchup brings together two of only five players averaging at least 20 points and nine dimes.

Estrogen Aromatization
Testosterone is the primary substrate used in the male body for the synthesis of estrogen, the principal female sex hormone. Although the presence of estrogen male seem quite unusual in men, It is structurally very similar to testosterone. With a slight alteration by the enzyme aromatase, estrogen is produced in the male body. Aromatase activity occurs in various region of the male body,including adipose, liver, gonadal, central nervous system and skeletal muscle tissue. In the context of the average healthy male, the amount of estrogen produced is generally not vary significant to one`s body disposition, and may even be beneficial in terms of cholesterol values. In larger amounts however, it does have potential to cause many unwanted effects including water retention, female breast tissue development(gynecomastia) and body fat accumulation. For these reasons many focus on minimizing the buildup or activity of estrogen in the body with aromatase inhibitors such Arimidex and Cytadren or anti-estrogen such as Clomid or Nolvadex, particularly at times when gynecomastia is a worry or the athlete is attempting to increase muscle definition.

This is a discussion on ko or wow within the General Chat forums, part of the Knight Online (ko4life.com) category; ILL SAVE THIS THREAD!...
Page: 7
ko, everyday..
though it matters what your lookin for ofc..
if you want good team play go with Knight Online, ive tried alot not all but most of the rpg games and i havent found better then Knight online if your with the right people you can have a good time and do really well. you only as good as the people you play with.
If i start wow i think im there because nice but then it gets tired and return back to ko ;D like all mmorpg games.
Wow pvp ftw
wow pvp dosent even touch ko's pvp, wow has alota alota shit u can do tho so can be very time consuming but it gets verrry boaring within a few months of playing where ko is fun for a long while
I played to gladiator level in wow and top 25 guild in pve. I found that the pvp aspect of ko was much more fun than wow. and with the way they are making the pve content in wow so easy thats also extremely boring now.
Ko pvp is great but exp is terrible
massive pvp is what mmorpg destiny to be. It is reason to play mmorpg all others are just extra/bonus. I dun play on online games to still fight npc(mobs). I got that in single player mode. I dun play online game for role playing, you wana do that go work in theatre.
But pvp ... pvp is where u meet that MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER. It's where u meet them all (palyers). Not some 1v1/5v5 etc. but all.
Thats the beauty of true mmorpg. Most mmorpg got zero "true pvp" or it's so shity it's almost embarasing. PvP need to be simple yet chellangeing. And that how look KO pvp). It is best massive pvp( to lvl 70 cap) (suported witch pvp oriented: party system,combo and potion system) ever invented.
I'm talking about pvp ofc not about whole game. All the bugs/hackers/tbl edit thats not pvp system problem but poor coding/implemented solutions.
So far KO is n1 in new game category MMPVPG
My vote goes for ko ofc coz wow has a lot of shit in it...lot of things no1 need...true u need to use brains in arena...but ko is made for us stupid ppl and we will play it

The largest earthquakes in the world occur at subduction zones. A subduction zone is where one continental plate is being pushed underneath another. Only a subduction zone can generate an earthquake greater than magnitude 8.5 (a "great earthquake")
The Cascadia Subduction Zone "megathrust fault" is one of these. It is about 600 miles long, stretching from northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino, California. In this case the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is being pushed underneath the North American Plate.
Typical of subduction zones, there is an arc of volcanoes about 100 miles from the plate boundary. These volcanoes occur because subducted volatiles (water vapor and Carbon Dioxide) build pressure within the mantle, and being less dense, eventually make their way to the surface within magma, often violently. Such explosive volcanoes as St. Helens, Krakatoa, and Vesuvius are all subduction volcanoes.
The reason that subduction zone earthquakes can be more violent and powerful than slip-fault quakes is the mechanism is quite different than a sliding motion. Look at the above image. The lithosphere on the right can be bent downwards with the lithosphere that is sliding under it. Eventually when the system builds enough tension, it can slip and the lithosphere at the right can suddenly spring upwards.
See the next three images for details on how that happens
Scientists had long believed that the Cascadia Fault did not generate large earthquakes, because in all recorded history (an entire 140 years for the Pacific Northwest), it never had. Turns out that many of these geologists were not thinking in geological time periods.
Subduction zones create massive earthquakes: Chile in 1922 and 1960, the Good Friday quake in Alaska in 1964, Kamchatka 1922 and 1953. There have been 17 "great earthquakes" since 1900 - and they are mostly located on the "ring of fire" subduction zones.
Brian Atwater of the U.S. Geological Survey, at the University of Washington in Seattle was one of the skeptics. He learned that the North American Plate was rising 3 millimeters per year with respect to the Pacific Plate (just as diagrammed above in the middle picture). This equates to 3 meters lift every 1,000 years.
If the fault had snapped at some point in the past, he figured, there would be evidence of land that was suddenly submerged when the humped up land snapped back. He dug samples out of Neah Bay, and made an awesome discovery. He found a layer of Seaside Arrowgrass, buried in sand and peat. The grass had been submerged and covered with sand so suddenly that the grass didn't even decompose! This finally provided hard evidence for a great earthquake and a mighty tsunami.
The following year, Atwater returned with fellow geologist David Yamaguchi, and they discovered "ghost forests", entire stands of trees which have been suddenly killed by salt water. These trees were once above sea level, but when the North American Plate snapped back down, they are now below sea-level.
Below, the Neskowin Ghost Forest offshore of Northern Oregon.
Clearly the land had dropped into the ocean in the not too distant past, killing these trees. Tree ring dating of the western red cedar refined the kill date to 1699-1700, shortly before written records began in the Northwest. The Japanese however, kept records. In 1700, on the eastern seaboard of Japan, a 16 foot high tsunami arrived, but it was an "orphan tsunami", because it came without an associated earthquake. This was the smoking gun. Cascadia is a nasty fault that *does* generate great earthquakes and major tsunamis.
Below is a dig showing how the tsunami of 1700 brought ocean sand inland and buried what was then the topsoil.
In fact the Cascadia fault has a lot in common with the faults that produced the Sumatra quake in 2004 and the Japan quake in 2011 that brought us the Fukushima disaster. More recent analysis reveals that the fault has slipped 41 times in the last 10,000 years. Nineteen of those were massive end-to-end ruptures of the fault.
Why no earthquakes since the one in 1700? Because the plates are locked and building tension. Odds are about 37% for a major quake within 50 years, with a 10% chance of a massive end-to-end rupture. We might have new "ghost forests" before too long...
Now let's look at a different map of the "Ring of Fire".
Finally, check out this video! Very informative...

By Andrea Bartz and Brenna Ehrlich, Special to CNN and Ivan Drakic
Editor's note: Brenna Ehrlich and Andrea Bartz are the sarcastic brains behind humor blog and book Stuff Hipsters Hate. When they're not trolling Brooklyn for new material, Ehrlich works as an associate editor at Mashable.com and Bartz is news editor at Psychology Today. Got a question about etiquette in the digital world? Contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com.
(CNN) — Your heart races like a rebel in a 1950s flick. Your eyes widen, an unbidden smile stealing across your slack-jawed face. Your soul threatens to leap from your throat and go tearing about the room, pinwheeling its translucent arms, screaming, "Wheeee!"
No, you're not in love, you're just super amped about all those shiny new followers on Twitter or glowing red notifications on your Facebook.
Such digital messages can act as a salve to counteract the ills of modern life. However, in some cases, when applied too frequently, that salve can be more irritating than soothing.
There's been much discussion in the Internet-verse about whether social networking ruins or strengthens human relationships. A Pew survey reports that Facebook users have closer friends and feel more socially supported. But a study published in the journal "Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking" suggests the Book of Face is a haven for narcissists.
Then last year, research showed that Facebook and whatnot trigger the release of oxytocin (the love chemical) in our brains — and in some cases can keep us tethered to people whose names we would have otherwise forgotten.
Truth is, we'll probably never get a clear-cut answer to the what-is-social-networking-doing-to-our-social-lives question.
But it's hard to deny that, when we pin our self-esteem to how many online interactions we rack up in a day, we're just using social media as a hastily swallowed pill to feel better about our IRL social ties.
So stop wanly pinging into the abyss, doing everything in your power to draw out the replies and likes and retweets from your equally sallow-eyed e-friends.
Here are three cases in which you should just shut up already:
With friends you haven't seen in a while
"Hey Jimmy! I haven't seen you in weeeeeeeeks! Therefore, in between promises of coffee and drinks and backpacking trips to Iceland sent via Facebook message and Twitter DM, I'm just going to go ahead and comment on everything on your Facebook Page, wantonly 'Liking' every new snapshot that you take with your webcam, alone in your room, trying out each hairstyle on Twin Shadow's 'Haircut Tour' poster.
And, as those aforementioned promises never come to fruition, I'll merely become an annoyance, a possible reclusive pathological liar who has ample time to hang on Facebook but can't manage to scrape together two hours to see "Friends With Benefits," even though we both posted the trailer on our walls and clearly would love to see such a wholly original film starring the extremely talented Mila Kunis. Peace out."
We know you're busy, what with work and pottery lessons and spinning hot tracks in the "Dad Jams" room on Turntable.fm, but replacing a real friendship with a digital one is just kind of lame.
If you really do enjoy the company of the person whose wall you're currently stalking, stop clicking "Like" and pick up the phone.
If the thought of actually hanging with said friend in person gives you the cold sweats, own up to the fact that you don't actually like this person and click "Hide user."
With exes
"Hey, Bob! I'm SO GLAD we decided to be friends after I told you that my heart was incapable of love. I'm also glad that we're still Facebook friends, Twitter buddies, Last.fm pals and connections on LinkedIn!
That way I can constantly check up on you, leaving LOLs under all those funny DJing kittens videos you post, responding to tweets about how you're having a gloomy day with a spritely 'Cheer up, Buttercup!' jamming along to those new Ke$ha tracks you're scrobbling, and asking for a rec when I finally decide to 'make something of myself' and stop living off of my other ex-boyfriend.
Granted, I'm probably doing all of this because I'm, A) lonely, B) afraid of looking like the bad guy, and C) planning to text you this weekend when I'm drunk and really need a hookup. That's cool, right? Because we're friends now!"
Breakups are hard (so quoth the arbiters of "Obvious"), but they're rendered even more tough when you make yourself a digital ghost in your ex's life.
If you find yourself trolling your former hand-to-hold's social media presence, take a moment and reflect on why you're doing so. If it's one of the above reasons (according to the blog WTF Is Up With My Love Life, "C" is also known as "fertilizing," or sending someone a bunch of noncommittal digital nudges to keep him/her in your stable), step away from the laptop.
Your pixelated pokes are likely keeping your ex — and you — from moving on. If it's "D," or "Damn it, I made a mistake" — well, all the little hearts on Instagram do not a redo make. Reach out. If you do really want to be friends, well, then, good luck.
With your family
Call your mother. She's earned the right to send those annoying GIF-crammed e-mails. You have not.

The Truth About Baltimore
The real victim in Baltimore is not Freddie Gray, a repeat loser who eventually died as he had lived, being arrested by the police.
The real victims are not the thugs smashing and looting stores. It isn't the young black men disproportionately stopped by the racist majority black police force in Baltimore under a racist black police commissioner for doing nothing wrong except the usual drug and weapons charges.
It's not even the "majority of law-abiding Baltimore families" referenced by politicians.
85% of Baltimore voters came out for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who gave the muggers and looters "space to destroy", and then apologized for calling them thugs, defending them instead as "misguided young people" who "need support".
Rawlings-Blake was a former City Council speaker who got a promotion when Sheila Dixon, the first black female mayor of Baltimore, was convicted of stealing gift cards intended for the poor. During her time in the City Council, Dixon had become notorious for waving her shoe at white colleagues and shouting, "You've been running things for the last 20 years. Now the shoe is on the other foot!"
It was indeed. At least some of the stolen gift cards were used to buy clothes. And the shoe is still on the other foot. Just ask the criminals who smashed and grabbed while the police did nothing.
Dixon had won 87% of the vote. And she wants to get back into politics. After the riots, she popped up to complain that white people were going about with business as usual while black anger grew.
"We have some major inequities in the city," she said. "We have to put more focus in those areas."
There are probably no inequities in Baltimore that can't be solved by giving Dixon some more gift cards intended for the poor.
What is the difference between Sheila Dixon stealing gift cards to buy an Xbox and thugs smashing up stores to grab saxophones, candy and liquor? Baltimore's former mayor had climbed high enough to be able to steal without breaking the glass.
While Dixon and Rawlings-Blake didn't do much for the inner city youth whose plight we never stop hearing about, they did dismantle the tougher policing put in place by Martin O'Malley. Now Baltimore has become one of the few cities whose murder rate keeps rising.
Today it has the fifth highest murder rate in the country. And since Dixon and Rawlings-Blake, the city also has 20,000 fewer people. Baltimore has been bleeding population almost as badly as Detroit. The city has gone from having 900,000 residents in the 70s to the low 600,000s today.
Dixon and Rawlings-Blake made Baltimore a haven for criminals. They switched out crimefighting for community policing. Now we have to listen to sanctimonious speeches about how we need to make Baltimore even more criminal friendly as if the city were a police state, instead of a thug playground whose mayor calls muggers and looters "misguided young people" and gives them space to destroy.
Baltimore does not have a policing crisis. It has a crisis of criminals. And those criminals aren't just the ones who smash stores. They also run the city.
When asked about Baltimore, Obama mentioned that, "There's some bad politicians who are corrupt." He ought to know. Sheila Dixon was an early endorser and a Valerie Jarrett pal. Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is the secretary of the Democratic National Committee. At Obama's second inauguration, she said, "My hope is that we can carry forward the momentum of the Obama administration and that we can continue to grow the Democratic Party."
But Rawlings-Blake can't even grow Baltimore. The only momentum that Obama's administration is carrying forward is that of the racist mobs who voted for it.
There are real victims in Baltimore. They are the hundreds of thousands of people who have been forced out by riots, crime and misery. You can see some of the real victims still hanging on, trying to run stores on thin margins, sweeping up broken glass and talking about how they called the police and no one answered.
They, and not Freddie Gray and his fellow criminals, are the real victims.
They're not just the victims of the thugs threatening their lives and destroying their livelihood. They're also the victims of wealthy and powerful politicians like Sheila Dixon, Rawlings-Blake and Barack Obama.
The tattered remnants of Baltimore's middle class are trying to hang on despite a national consensus by Democrats and even some Republicans that instead of fighting crime, we ought to be going easier on criminals, that instead of prisons we need more social workers, and that the real victims are not bleeding baseball fans or hospitalized cops, but mobs of thugs who wanted to act out a movie they saw.
The last thing that Baltimore, or any other place on earth, needs is more community policing, sentencing reform and political pandering to violent mobs. But pro-criminal politicians like Obama want to make Baltimore worse while turning the rest of the country into Baltimore. What would that look like?
If the country had Baltimore's murder rate, around 120,000 Americans would be murdered every year. Not to mention 2.3 million assaults, 1.8 million robberies and 160,000 rapes by "misguided youth".
And we can have that country. All we have to do is listen to the voices clamoring for criminal justice reform and America can look like Rawlings-Blake's "space to destroy" Baltimore.
All we have to do is ignore the fact that the real victims in Baltimore are not the thugs in the streets, they are the people being assaulted by them.
The worst of the Baltimore violence didn't begin with Freddie Gray's death. It began with a meme about "The Purge", a reference to an Anti-American movie which depicts a society where crime has been temporarily legalized, "allowing citizens to roam the streets and vent their rage for a 12-hour stretch, to rob, rape and kill with impunity."
That should sound familiar. It's what happened in Baltimore with Rawlings-Blake's "space to destroy". It's what happened in Ferguson. It's what has been happening around the country as Obama and his associates have targeted police departments on behalf of criminals.
The Obama Purge legalizes crime. It legalizes theft, vandalism and assault. Baltimore, like Ferguson, shows us what that looks like. The solution to crime isn't less law enforcement, it's more law enforcement. You don't make society better by empathizing with criminals. All you do is create more criminals and more crime.
You fill morgues, hospitals and cemeteries. You create a nation under siege by violent criminals. The Democrats and Republicans championing "criminal justice reform" have chosen to ignore the lessons of the sixties and seventies. They have decided that sympathizing with criminals will fix everything. Meanwhile the real victims, the people who work hard, especially the working poor, are disdained because they aren't rioting in the streets.
The muggers and looters, the thugs and criminals, are not disenfranchised or forgotten, no matter how often the media tells you that. We see their smirks and hear their voices all the time. It's their victims who are brushed aside and forgotten. We are told to sympathize with criminals and forget their victims.
A moral society doesn't sympathize with criminals. It sympathizes with their victims. It doesn't license criminality because it cares about the people who suffer when criminals run wild.

Is That My Glass?
>> Wednesday, August 22, 2007
Have you been to a party and wondered which wine glass is yours? Yea, me too. Well these cool wine tags may help for the next party. While I know you're a hip hostess, so having some way for guest to identify their glass was something you were doing before they created those glass rings. Knowing you are a trendsetter, I found some cute glass identifiers called Vinotagz these design sets are perfect for large parties and come in a variety of colors and styles so they will compliment any event. Oh, and they make a perfect hostess gift too.

I've heard of this (and done this) with Cymbidiums, but not with any other kind of orchid. Although, now that you mention it, it seems like it might be a good idea for other cool growers, like Miltonia or even some Pleurothallids . . .
At any rate. My guess is that she's probably not crazy, although it's hard to say without meeting her. But what type of orchids does she do this with?

Is the our latest wind gust with a 26 degree wind chill. Bleah. At least the wind will dry up the mud from 2 days of constant rain but I'm stuck inside today cuz no one wants to be outside in this wind. Poor Furry Husband is playing in a disc golf tournament in town this weekend. He is suffering for his sport. I, however, will not be riding horses - no suffering here!
The goats are tucked into their houses, the horses are standing stoically in their lean to's. All dogs and cats are inside with me.... maybe I'll get some more of my never ending quilt project done today?
Furry Husband poured wine at Wine Fest last night, a fund raiser for Disabled Resource Benefits, an organization providing support and services for people with all sorts of disabilities in our area.
I went to the event with a couple friends to taste some wine and sample some food. I ran into Ted... a guy I knew back in college. He sort of got around back in the day and I always called him "Bed Sled Ted". I don't think we were ever each other's type and I always really liked him as a buddy. He was in a suit and his wife was with him... Feels a little surreal to have your crazy 27 yr old memories colliding with your almost 40 yr old self!
My friends and I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I was out and about socializing cuz I am mos' definitely house bound all by myself today!

My eating has changed quite a bit since shunning the grains and fruits , Some fruit will come back starting next week and some occasional whole grains, but for now they are gone. So what do you eat when you shun those amber waves ?
Breakfast- mushroom cheese eggs with turkey bacon
Lunch- baked chicken leg and sauteed cabbage
Snack- hardboiled egg and cheese stick
Dinner- Ranch chicken, Parmesan garlic yellow squash rounds, sweet potato fries, red pepper strips and sliced cucumber
Dessert- chocolate mousse ( cream cheese, whipping cream, splenda and cocoa powder). It is VERY satisfying, tasty and I really do not miss grains in the least. I feel more energetic, have no joint pain, am sleeping much better and my skin and hair are looking better. The scale is slowly moving down ( at my age rapid weight loss is not something that happens) , and cooking is a lot easier.
I think I will stick with this .Only change I need to make is to swap my current brand of Diet Soda for Diet RC, which is made with Splenda instead of Nutra Sweet
What began as a weight loss journey evolved into a realistic way of looking at food, nutrition and life itself. The number on the scale has become less and less important, and the practice of eating real, honest food has taken it's place

May I suggest using Stevia instead of Splenda? Splenda's been linked to a lot of nasty conditions. It's synthetic, so our body doesn't know how to digest it. Stevia is derived from a South American plant. It's very powerful, so just a few drops go a long way...

A leading professor of economics has warned that the global economy is a giant Ponzi scheme that could collapse at any time.
Speaking at a pensions summit in the Netherlands, Professor Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University told delegates that the global financial system – which remains largely unreconstructed despite near implosion following the collapse of Lehman Brothers two years ago – is a massive con trick, characterised by lack of transparency, and largely made up of fraudulent guarantees and financial promises that cannot be kept.
Kotlikoff, also known as Larry, is the author of Jimmy Stewart Is Dead: Ending the World's Ongoing Financial Plague with Limited Purpose Banking, a book endorsed by Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England. He served as senior economist with president Ronald Reagan's council of economic advisers in 1981-82 and has advised the IMF, World Bank, OECD and scores of national governments around the world.
Kotlikoff believes that government bailouts of financial institutions did little to address underlying problems of our financial system and that, in fact, they made things worse. He said:
"AIG insured the uninsurable, and now the US government has taken over that role. But managing the crisis by taking on promises you can't deliver is not a fix to systemic risk. It is itself systemic risk."
He added that, if the United States didn't use "bogus" accounting to keep unfunded liabilities off its balance sheet, it would be in worse shape than Greece: "To cover all those liabilities, federal taxes would have to be raised by 64%, or expenses would have to be cut by 40% – and that is an optimistic estimate."
He said that if the US doesn't take steps to reduce its deficits, its fiscal problems could trigger a second financial crisis worse than we've seen seen so far.
"Once people figure out the government can't actually deliver what it has promised, other than by printing huge amounts of money, this may trigger a bank run. Pimco has already said it will buy no more US Treasuries, which is not a good sign."
Since Kotlikoff spoke in the Netherlands, Standard & Poor's has lowered its outlook on the long-term rating of US sovereign debt to negative, citing a "material risk" that policymakers may fail to reach an agreement on proposals to trim its massive budget deficit. This, coupled with renewed fears about the eurozone, triggered an immediate fall in US share prices on Monday.
In Kotlikoff's view the financial system is inherently fraudulent because financial institutions insure the uninsurable and take on liabilities they cannot honor, while these institutions and their managers take on only limited liability and pass the buck to the taxpayer when things go pear-shaped. In short, it's what Jeffrey Sachs, in a review of Jimmy Stewart is Dead, has described as "a system in which bankers make promises they can't keep in order to collect outsized earnings unrelated to real productivity."
Kotlikoff believes the only way to fix this is to introduce the "limited purpose banking", the old-fashioned know-your-customer type banking practised by the Bailey Building and Loan Association in Frank Capra's 1947 movie It's a Wonderful Life. Kotlikoff said this
"takes the multifaceted fraud out of our financial system by turning all banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, etc. into fully transparent mutual fund companies. Limited purpose banking also abolishes over 115 federal and state regulatory authorities and replaces them with the Federal Financial Authority, which verifies, fully and immediately discloses, and independently rates and appraises all securities held by the mutual funds. In a nutshell, limited purpose banking makes Wall Street safe for Main Street."
He also believes the pensions system must be reformed so that employers are removed from the picture since "companies have their own interest at heart", and those interests rarely coincide with providing their employees with a good income after retirement. Instead Kotlikoff believes the government should introduce mandatory savings of about 8% of salaries, to be invested collectively in a globally diversified index fund at virtually zero cost, he said.
He told delegates at the conference that he hoped his views would resonate in the Netherlands and inspire measures to overhaul a broken financial system that is living on borrowed time. "Don't expect the US to take the lead in this," he said. "We are the ones who created this mess in the first place."
I am grateful to Mariska van der Wes, who attended and reported the summit on behalf of Investment & Pensions Europe, for her report of Kotlikoff's talk).
