STOKE CITY are claiming a fee has been agreed for Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole.
The two clubs have been locked in negotiations all day over Cattermole after the Potters saw a bid turned down for the 25-year-old yesterday.
Sources close to the Potters are now reporting that Stoke have shaken hands on a £5million deal for Cattermole, although Sunderland officials say that it is still premature.
But Cattermole is now expected to head to the Midlands to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet today spoke of his reluctance about selling Cattermole, but claimed Stoke had made an "impressive" offer for the former Middlesbrough midfielder.
And he also confirmed that Sunderland will look to sign a replacement for the Teessider before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, Sunderland are rumoured to have seen an enquiry for Stoke full-back Geoff Cameron turned down today, while the two clubs were in talks.

Thank God that I saw this movie for free… I don't know how much I really care to dwell on this film, so I'll try to make my points quickly. As you can probably tell, I did not enjoy Delivery Man, not that I was really expecting to anyway.
This movie wasn't without its redeeming qualities. The premise was fairly decent; I haven't yet seen the film "Starbuck" on which it was based, but I probably will soon, maybe tomorrow. Vince Vaughn did a nearly acceptable job and Chris Pratt put on the best performance of the film, but that isn't saying anything really.
Most of the acting was pretty atrocious. The dialogue was really hideous for the most part. The focus was not correct at all; the film put more care into the less interesting parts of the story.
The more I think about it, the more comments I could say about this movie, but the less I want to. I could go into more detail, but honestly I just want to start forgetting that I saw this. I don't recommend it, but at the same time, I know that there are people who will like this movie. However, with those people I disagree.

Sewing 101: Your Bag of Tricks (part 1)
If you want to start sewing, the first step is to put together a basic sewing kit with all of the tools you'll need. In addition to a good sewing machine, an iron and ironing board, these tools will make sewing so much easier once you know how to use them. You can find these items at your favourite fabric, or craft store.
We've broken up this lesson into 3 parts because it got a little long. So stay turned for the other two parts!
Pins come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are distinguished by their head, point, thickness and length. When thinking about thickness, the idea is to choose a pin that will make the smallest hole possible in your fabric. And remember: if a pin bends, breaks or becomes dull, get rid of it!
Head types:
- Flat (metal) head pins have metal heads that are 'flat' on top and can be ironed. Use these if you don't want the head to get in the way. Dressmaker's pins have flat heads.
- Plastic head pins come in ball or flat shapes and are easy to see. Flat plastic heads lie flat under a ruler or tape measure. But be careful! Both types will melt if you touch them with your iron.
- Glass heads are smaller than plastic heads, but won't melt under the heat of your iron. (these are my favourite type of pins)
- Pins basically have ball point, sharp or extra sharp points.
- Ball points are round and used for knit fabrics.
- Sharps are the most versatile and work with lots of fabric types.
- Extra sharp points slide easily through finer fabrics.
Your pin cushion holds your pins and keeps them accessible. You can buy or make your own pin cushion. The tomato pin cushion from the fabric store comes with an emery to keep your pins sharp and clean.
Hand sewing needles come in a variety of shapes, lengths and sizes, each suitable for different fabrics, threads or purposes. To keep things simple, we'll focus on three common types: sharps, milliners/straw, and betweens. You can buy a package containing a variety of needle types and sizes. As the size of the needle goes up, the length and thickness of the needle decreases – So a size 1 is longer and thicker than a size 8.
How do you choose a needle for your project? As a general rule, the finer your fabric, the finer needle you should use. You want to avoid making a larger hole than is needed for your thread to pass through.
- Sharps are great for just about any hand sewing project. Their medium lengths and round eyes work with most fabrics.
- Milliners or Straw needles are longer than sharps and also have a round eye. These needles are used for millinery work (hat making), but because of their length, they work well for basting.
- Betweens are short and skinny needles that are good for fine, short stitches. They are most often used in quilting.
Thread can be made of cotton, polyester, silk or nylon and comes on spools. Polyester will work for almost any project. It is possible to use the large cones of thread with a domestic machine, but a little adjusting is required.
Thimbles aren't just the best Monopoly piece. They keep your finger protected while hand stitching and help you push the needle through the fabric. They come in a bunch of different sizes, shapes and materials (metal, rubber, plastic, leather…) so you can get the perfect fit. Some are even adjustable. A basic metal or flexible rubber thimble that fits snugly on your middle finger is a good start for hand sewing.
So that's part 1! We'll cover more tomorrow. Tags: sewing101, tools

Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love): Book I
Notes and Information
Before we start...
Let's Dive into this Monster! (Summary of Book I)
Ovid first opens up this poem by proclaiming that love is a tricky art, but he is the master at it; he also asks the gods for help and inspiration.
He opens up by saying that you should first find someone you are interested in; The next task is to make sure she loves you back; and if these requirements are met, then you will live "happily ever after."
He then explains how to find the one that suits you best; he explains that this task is rather difficult, and you have to find the perfect person. You have to find someone that matches with your personality and your humor, and although this task is extremely hard, it is not impossible. He explains that there are tons and tons of women in Rome, so never give up.
Summary of Book I (continued)
Ovid also explains that the streets aren't the only place worth searching; he also recommends searching at the theater, for women will most likely be happy from the theater itself, putting their minds in a more positive mood and more likely to accept your invitation of love.
Another place Ovid recommends are the races or circuses; he explains, to the reader, that you should just start by sitting next to the person of interest, and start up with some casual talk about any random topic; he also recommends to be aware of your surroundings "lest" you upset a potential boyfriend.
Summary of Book I
(continued some more)
Ovid also recommends triumphs are a great place to search; if a young woman is unsure to some details of that particular triumph, you can answer that question, create small talk, introduce yourself, etc. etc.
There are two more places that Ovid recommends: The dinner table and the beaches. If it is at all possible at the dinner table to meet with your potentially loved one, the joy and merriment would create a wonderful opportunity to start talk, etc. etc., and the positive attitude and beauty of the beaches would make a suitable place for introductions.
I just wanted to say that the background of this particular Prezi, as strange as it is, is awesome, and has nothing to do with Ovid. However, it is so epic, it doesn't even matter. That is all.
I guess Prezi really likes Spongebob...
What is Book I of the Ars Amatoria?
Book I of the Ars Amatoria is a 500 line poem and guide that tells you how to quote on quote "pick up women" in Rome.
It was written by Ovid ( You don't say?), and the Ars Amatoria, as a whole, is composed of three separate books, each consisting of their own unique topic about love.
This particular poem (it is more of an epic than of poem if you ask me), although it's subject matter is relatively hilarious considering the fact that this was written about 2000 years ago, contains several references to mythology and several references to that of other poems. There are also a lot of metaphors and similes that are used.
The remains of an ancient theater in Rome.
Book I Summary
(continued...HOW MUCH MORE?!?!?!?!?!)
Ovid then explains how to win her over; he explains that confidence is vital to win over women, and try to show them subconsciously that you have wealth.
Another thing Ovid highly recommends to do is "secure" her maid; you must leave a great impression on her maid in order to be successful, as the maid has a close relationship to a woman, and that the winning over of the maid can in turn win over the girl.
One more piece of advice that Ovid hands out: NEVER FORGET HER BIRTHDAY! Always take her somewhere special for her birthday, and you should get her a cake and presents.
Book 1 Summary
Ovid also advises the reader to make promises and write to her often.
Ovid also recommends that you be close to her often in order to win her over, as it shows that you have a deep interest in her.
Another thing that is required is that you always look proper around her and presentable, and that you are always bold around the dinner table.
Ovid, finally recommends that you take the lead in a relationship, although not to an extreme degree. Don't become her slave. He also advices you to be bold at the dinner table, and to be weary of friends who may be filled with jealousy. Finally, he advises flexibility in a relationship.
Book I: Analysis
OK...here it is...my nightmare...the analysis and thoughts of all 800 lines....yay
By the way, there are so many references to this poem, that in my opinion, this poem would be just 200 lines long if all of the references were removed. Because of this excessive amount of references, it will be impossible to list all of them, so I will go over the ones that are interesting and somewhat relatable.
I cannot be certain, but considering the age of this poem, I think it might be possible that the saying of "there are plenty of fish in the sea" can be traced back to this particular poem; At several points in the poem itself, especially near the beginning, Ovid compares fishermen to that of us men and compares the fish in the sea to that of women. For example, if you look around line 47 or 48, you can see this comparison; "the fisherman knows the waters where the most fish spawn." It is a little unorthodox to put this before the beginning of the poem, but this is the first analysis point that came to my mind.
Book I: Analysis (continued)
Before this poem begins in terms of its material and message, Ovid includes great references to the gods; Not only does he ask for the gods' help and guidance for his poem, he also compares himself to that of Cupid; Ovid proclaims that although Cupid is powerful in determining love, Ovid will prevail; personally, the way that this is introduced, I think that this really shows the superstition of the people during this time period. A lot of other poets tend to ask the gods for help before there poems began as well.
One thing that I should've pointed out before is that this particular poem contains a huge, HUGE amount of references to other poems, events, and mythology. Aside from the reference in that of the fifth line (it is up to interpretation if this line indeed refers to that of Achilles), already in the 11th line of this poem, out of 800 lines, we can clearly see that there is a reference to that of Achilles; who was a Greek hero who was put to a centaur to be educated. It also references to that of Hector's death, both of which I believe in are the Homer's Iliads. In fact, there are a lot of references to that of the Trojan War; especially that of Achilles.
Book I Analysis: Continued
In line 27-28 of the English, here is another reference. It is not only a reference to that of the muses, but to that of a Greek poet. This Clio is the muse of history, and she is a daughter of Zeus (big shocker) and the Titaness Mnemosyne. Along with her sisters, she was considered to dwell either in Mount Helicon or Mount Parnassos. Ascra is the hometown of a famous Greek poet known as Hesiod, who is equally famous as that of Homer. It can be inferred that in one of his poems he lists how he visually saw this specific muse.
In line 30 of the English, we see clearly that Ovid invokes the help of Venus. Although previously mentioned, it is worth noting that a possible parallel can be drawn, as in the second line of the first book of Lucretius, he does the exact same, so this could be alluding to that.
Book I: Analysis (continued)
One thing that I find interesting about this particular poem is that Ovid warns his fellow readers to not follow the advice of this reading if you are modest (Far away from here, you badges of modesty,), and I think it is pretty interesting to compare it to of today, as many religions of today's day and age see it not proper to use these tactics for self pleasure.
After part III, there is an interesting thing. There is a reference to a "portico." A portico is a walkway leading to the entrance of a building, or extended as a colonnade, with a roof structure over a walkway, supported by columns and sometimes enclosed by walls. Apparently in Pompeii and in other Roman cities, there were porticoes specifically for walking and leisure, so this is what Ovid is alluding to.
Book I: Analysis (continued)
The line close to the previous (And don't forget the shrine of Adonis, Venus wept for,), has some historical Roman significance. This was a ritual that honored Venus and when Romans mourned the death of Adonis, also called Tammuz. Many acts that, let's just say, weren't very Christian, were committed here. The Biblical prophet Ezekiel (no, the Ezekiel of the Hindu religion) actually referenced this particular practice: "Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz." (Ezekial 8:14)
Immediately after this line, there is a reference, for the first time in our Latin career, the Jewish people. And it is probably the strangest Jewish reference we will ever see. Ovid says that the Sabbath rituals are a nice place to pick up ladies, which is odd. However, according to sources, during this time period, many Jewish people were migrating into Rome, bringing their religion with them, especially during this time period, which Jesus Christ was just beginning his ministry. My guess is that many people spectated these Jewish rituals out of curiosity, to the point that it was common place. This is why I think Ovid says this is a nice place to be.
Book I Analysis (continued)
Halfway through part IV, there seems to be a reference to an event of Roman infamy, about how a king sent his soldiers to violate women. Ovid uses this comparison to the Roman leader for the everyday Roman leader; this seemed to be intentionally designed for the Roman people; I don't think Ovid would've known that 2000 years down the road, people would be reading his work.
Near the beginning of part V, there seems to be some hand signals and gestures that mean things; such as the nod of the head meaning she accepted. Quite honestly, I think this is also kind of stretching it, but it is entirely possible why in our American culture, and possibly some other European cultures, that the nod of a head means yes. It is entirely possible that this gesture may have come from Ancient Rome and we continue to do it to this day.
Book 1: Analysis
(continued, I decided to use purple to change it up.)
Near the end of part V, there seems to be a reference to a Naval battle that Augustus Caesar was involved in. I believe that these Naval battle of Actium. These naval battles took place on the Tiger, and Tacitus, in his twelfth book, makes reference of this particular battle.
At the very beginning of part 6, Ovid seems to reference the war of Parthia, in which Augustus takes back the military ensigns that were stolen from the Roman people when Crassus was defeated; This happened after Augustus ended his war with Spain, and this is what that intro is referencing.
Book I: Analysis (continued)
Before Part VIII, there is a reference for this line: "Paris saw the goddesses in the light, a cloudless heaven,when he said to Venus: 'Venus, you win, over them both.'" I believe that this is another reference to the Trojan War; This is that famous even that started the Trojan War when there was an apple that said "For the Fairest." Paris was the name of the shepherd that judged the beauty of the goddesses, and he proclaimed that Venus was the fairest. However, let us just say that Paris didn't judge the goddesses on looks alone-there were other parts of this evaluation, which I will not get into, as this is a Catholic school. This is why Ovid refers to this judgement "in the light."
Book I: Analysis
Halfway through part XI, you will notice the line "It's fine to start on that day of tears when the Allia flowed with the blood poured from Roman wounds;" this is a reference to an unfortunate and infamous event in Roman history; on the 15th of the calends of August, in the year of the city 363, the Roman army was absolutely demolished and destroyed by the Gauls. Big shocker, right?
Now, we are going to enter a little bit into Roman culture. In the middle of the "Be Bold at Dinner" part, you will notice the line of "Some sing 'O Hymenaeus', some 'Bacchus, euhoe!' So on the sacred bed the god and his bride meet", and this is a reference to Roman culture that we, contemporary Americans, probably not understand. It was an ancient custom to sing hymns of joy at weddings; in which hymns were called epithalamius. Some might call these hymns "hymeneans", after the tale of an Athenian named Hymen, who delivered maids from a terrible trouble, or which they used to invoke him when they married, as the god who eased them of the burden of their maidenheads.
Book I: Analysis (continued)
If you also look near the middle of "At Dinner Be Bold", you will find the line of "Eurytion the Centaur died, made foolish by the wine: food and drink are fitter for sweet jests." This is another reference to a mythological story; Eurytion was one of the centaurs at Pirithous's, the king of the Lapiths (who were a people who lived in the valley of Peneus in Thessaly, which is in Greece), wedding, who got so drunk that he attempted to ravish Hippodamia, the bride; but Theseus knocked him down with a bowl, and made him bring up his wine again while bleeding.
OK, Now what I was supposed to do:
Ars Amatoria I. 229-252
Well, I was supposed to do something...much...smaller.......
To start off, I would like to say that this particular sections a junk-load of Perfect Passive Participles; for example, if you look at the first line, you will see "positis", (which means "to lay, to set down" comes from pono), which is in the PPP form. There is also the same word which is in the same exact PPP form (just a different case), two lines down.
Because of these two words being the same exact word and being in the same PPP construction, I believe we have an instance of a parallel construction between the first line and the third line.
UGH...Continued (Latin "Analysis")
If you look at the second line, you will notice "aliquid." However, considering that it is so common, you would expect the "ali" to "take a a holiday", however, since there is no si, nisi, num or ne, ali doesn't go away, and you would translate it as if it is present, as it is present.
Another thing you will notice is that if you look at the Latin, the word "spargo" (it appears in the form of "sparsere" [3rd pl perf ind act] and in the form of "spargi" [pres pass inf]), appears twice in two separate lines. You can compare this parallel to that of "pono", I feel as this is a recurring theme to use the same words again and again. I'm sure there are other words that follow this pattern as well.
Latin Analysis
Another interesting thing about spargi-it is a present passive infinitive; Although nothing too special, we are used to seeing PAP's and PPP's and other things; In literature this complex, it isn't too often we see something as basic as this.
An interesting word that I've come across, if you look at line 238, is mero, which pretty much means "wine without water." I have no reason why Ovid would've used this unfamiliar word when he simply could've used "vina", as it would fit the meter just as well. My only guess is that he used this particular word to emphasize the amount of alcohol the people are drinking.
Latin Analysis (Going Purple to Change it up...again)
In the second line ("Est aliquid praeter vina, quod inde petas."), I think there may be a possibility of Zeugma; When Ovid says that there is something more than wine there, I think that Ovid is using in two senses the fact that not only can you grab I drink, but you can grab a girlfriend. However, as I am unsure whether this is true or not, I think there is a strong possibility.
I believe that in line 236 ("Sed tamen et spargi pectus amore nocet."), we have a metaphor, as love, a figurative emotion, does not literally cause pain to the heart. One thing that I have to wonder is that Mr. Knittel stated that, for the most part, the Romans often thought emotions were associated with the brain; could this be one of the first instances in which love was associated with the heart?
Latin Analysis (Monotony, thy name is Ars Amatoria Book 1)
In line 238 ("Cura fugit multo diluiturque mero."), I believe that we have an instance of personification, as cure cannot literally flee.
For lines 239-241 (Tunc veniunt risus, tum pauper cornua sumit, Tum dolor et curae rugaque frontis abit.Tunc aperit mentes aevo rarissima nostro), one could make a strong argument for tricolon crescens, as these three lines begin with a form of "tum", and, in my humble opinion, I believe that all three lines increase in their meaning and significance.
For lines 241-242, I know for a fact that we have an instance of enjambment, as the line isn't self contained and it runs over the next line (Then what's rarest in our age appears to our minds, Simplicity: an art dispelled by the god.)
You know what continued...
In lines 245 and 246 (Hic tu fallaci nimium ne crede lucernae: Iudicio formae noxque merumque nocent.), I truly think that we have two instances of personification, as one does not simply literally trust the lamplight, and I don't think that night and wine can literally harm you; however, what I believe that Ovid is saying and communicating that you basically should not get carried away with craziness and alcohol.
I also believe that with all of these references to Venus that are in these lines, I truly believe that we have several instances of metonymy, as Venus represents the desire and passion of these men (Line 244 and 248)
CONTINUED UGGGGHGHHHHHGHGKDSHGAAsdfhasdlfjkasl/kdjfas;kdlfj;
Okay, Okay, this doesn't really have anything to do with the Latin, but line 250 is hilarious ("Horaque formosam quamlibet illa facit.," which translates to "and the hour makes whichever girl you like beautiful."), and I find it funny, as this particular truth seems topop up in media to this very day in the form of a joke, and, I know I've said this one million times and I'm pretty much repeating what Mr. Knittel has said over and over again, but I truly find it funny that this poem (or epic) was written around 2000 years ago, and it makes joke of getting drunk and seeing people differently.
English Meaning and References
WE'RE ALMOST DONE!!!! But, even if it is very unorthodox as this is out of order, I believe we should go over the English in terms of meaning and in reference.
Before we go over this again, I think it is worth mentioning this: isn't it truly remarkable the amount of references and poetic metaphors that are used here? It is totally insane!
Here, Ovid pretty much gives advice that a social feast or event is a great place to go, but gives of a warning to not pick up women while drunk, as "Venus" is a total jerk when it comes to this; While drunk, images of women will pretty much be astray and messed up, so Ovid pretty much recommends that when you pick up a girl, make sure that you can see her true figure and form in a sober light; if drunk, pay attention to the clothes and jewelry that is worn by women.
The major reference that is made here and that is previously mentioned is that of the judgement before the Trojan War, with Paris judging the goddesses.
One thing that must be understood is that "Bracchus" is the Roman name for "Dionysus", who, if you remember from our Sophmore English class, is the god of wine. Ovid states here that he and Venus play a role in terms of drunkenness and love.
Thank you so much for sticking through this, and I hope, that as monotonous as this presentation is, I hope that at the very least that this was informative. So once again, thank you.

(Art by: Hashimoto Takashi)
(SISTER POST: Gay Marriage)
For many many years, incest has been seen as taboo, disgusting, and even illegal in many countries. But is it really that bad? The shortest answer is: Not always. Now, I agree that incest involving parents and their offspring or the parents of their offspring children is wrong, no matter what but ONLY because it is highly likely the father or mother raised that child as a sex toy, and that's unacceptable….but sibling incest and extended family? There's nothing wrong with that. My opinion on incest is that it's ok if it's consentual and both parties are of legal age OR are nearly the same age. Who are you to decide if two consenting adults that happen to be related should of shouldn't have sex or get married? Why is it even wrong?
The most common reason people give is simply because it's "disgusting." If it's disgusting, don't do it. That's not hard, is it? Just because you find it disgusting, that means nobody should be allowed to do it? That's unfair, selfish, and childish.
Now before someone says something stupid about me, I have siblings, but no passion at all to have sex with them. Maybe if Sora from Yosuga no Sora or Yuki from To-Love Ru was my sister, yes, but that's another story.
Anyway, the second most common reason is because if both relatives have sex, and the girl gets pregnant, the baby will come out fucked up. But what does the science say about inbreeding?
The science says that, unless there is a long history of inbreeding with said family, the odds of the child they may or may not have coming out screwed up or dead is no higher than the general population's risk. The risk only increases if incest is prevalent in their genes and has taken place in previous generations. The science also shows that distant relatives that have kids together producer HEARTIER babies than those that don't engage in such incest. Maybe you should encourage sex with your distant relative if the well-being of a child really matters to you.
The risk aren't very high either. Inbreeding between 1st cousins only carries a 5% risk of a defect. Inbreeding between siblings, it's only 7%. That's not high enough to justify you telling two consenting adults what to do and what not to do.
Preventing two consenting adult siblings from having sex is just as ridiculous as preventing two adult gay people from having sex. Yes, it's the same thing. Two consenting adults want to have sex, want to get married, and want to be together but they are being held back by society and laws. As I said, that's unfair.
I know this makes no difference, but I am calling on all countries that have ANY laws against sibling incest to abandon said laws in the interest of fairness and equality. The only incest that should be illegal is incest with a first degree relationship(parents x offspring). Incest is legal in many countries, such as China, India, France, Japan, Netherlands, and even Australia. It's time for the rest of the world to abandon silly incest laws and let two consenting adults do whatever they want to do with each other.

Author's Note: Hi fandom. It's me, Auron's Fan again. This one I had up on LiveJournal for a while, but decided to post it here, just to see how people would recieve it. Please note that it's a one shot. The story isn't going to have another chapter. And I guess I should warn about something -- but if you got here, and didn't see it in the summary, tough luck. If I mention it again, it's a spoiler. D:
But anyway, thanks for even stopping by to read this, and if you can, please review. Much love!
Oh, and Disclaimer: I own nothing. I just write these characters for my own amusment.
If you didn't know, it's a Riku/Kairi/Sora. In a sense. But I'll just let you guys read. Enjoy!
Sora and Kairi together makes the most perfect couple ever, and they fit together in every way –sports, school, grades, and the works.
Riku, Sora, and Kairi make the perfect trio ever. The three of them all compliment each other in some way, whether it be because of their ages, what they can do, or what they've been through –when together, even the tightest of friends can become jealous over their perfection.
But they're not perfect, and all three of them know this.
Riku has to watch over his two best friends and now couple, making sure that they're happy together, being the person that they both can run to when something goes wrong, and so much more. The small problem with this is that both boys have always liked (Riku reckons that he's always loved) Kairi, so Sora being with her is a stab to Riku's heart, which grows deeper every time he sees them.
Kairi, on the other hand, really likes Sora –she does, truly –but the problem is that she likes him as more of a best friend figure. She hasn't really thought of him in any other way. But on the other hand, she knows that she loves Riku as so much more, but her friendship with both of the boys is more important. She would rather Sora be happy than her and Riku have a selfish relationship while breaking the other boy's heart.
And poor Sora: He knows about both Riku and Kairi's predicaments, but he has his own problems. After spending so much time searching, hoping, dreaming about him, Sora realizes that he's fallen for the silver haired teen. But in the place that they live in, he would be so quickly shunned and thrown out that the thought kind of scares him. It almost makes him laugh at the thought –he's fought monsters and beings without hearts, but being thrown out of a place that he has been able to call home for fifteen years (although he wasn't home for one of them)? This sends him running back to Kairi who has to know that while he does love her, has much greater feelings for Riku, than he's ever had for her.
Every kiss between Sora and Kairi (even though it's only on the cheek) makes Riku look away in pain, but if he were to look closer, he'd realized that Sora almost looks as pained as he does to give the kiss, and Kairi, to receive it. When Sora pulls back, he distinctly remembers his first (and only) kiss they've shared on the lips – he was half exciting at first, but could only keep that excitement thinking that Kairi was Riku, while Kairi had to make her mind believe that it was also Riku to make it believable.
They're the greatest of friends, destiny tying them together forever and ever, but this is one secret none of them wish to mention to the other, afraid of it tearing them all apart.
One day, after the Sora-and-Kairi coupling had been for more than half of a year, Kairi was finally able to tell Riku what she really thought. She didn't think it would go farther than that, but Riku had been holding back feelings for her and just for a second, he let inhibitions go and pulled her up for a kiss, one that left them both breathless and wanting more. But as soon as it was done, Riku drops her quickly and backs away, his eyes widening in horror. After everything he'd done to Sora, had he really stooped as far down as to steal Sora's –his best friend, someone he would give his life for (and almost did, in the battle against Xemnas) –girlfriend? He shakes his head, mutters an apology, and runs away, leaving Kairi caught between confusion and pain as she looks after him.
And watching from not ten feet away was Sora, who felt horrible that his first response was not that Kairi was being kissed by another guy (his best friend!), but that Riku would never touch him like that. Knowing full well that he couldn't approach Kairi with his heart and her heart raging with such vivid emotions, he simply walks away.
Neither Sora nor Kairi could (or would) believe what they were being told.
Apparently Riku had run off in the middle of the night to the island that they all used to play at. The next morning (this morning), a local fisherman had picked up a boy, looking to be aged 16 with distinct silver hair, out of the water - and said boy was hardly breathing.
The remaining parts of the trio and all of their parents quickly rushed to the hospital, only to find out that it had been too late to save the boy, and that, being such a good swimmer, he either was swept away by a powerful current or…
Sora shakes his head, not wanting to remember the rest of what the doctor had said before he had dropped Kairi's hand and ran out of the hospital. Riku wasn't the type to want to go that way…
It was late afternoon, and the sunlight was flickering over the water as Sora sits on the paopu tree (Riku's tree), ignoring the tears streaming down his cheeks. Riku couldn't …die. Riku, who he had fought almost a year ago from going into the darkness; Riku, who had forced to submerge himself into said darkness to save him; Riku, whom he'd cried over when he finally found him; Riku, who had sacrificed his own safety during the final battle with the leader of Organization XIII to make sure Sora was okay and could finish the fight. Riku, Riku, Riku!
Sora looks behind him to see Kairi walking up to Riku's Island. Another tear slips down his face, and he awkwardly wipes it away, giving the girl a watery smile. "Kairi…hey."
Nothing is said between the two of them until Kairi finally sits onto the tree as well and lowers her head in shame. "I'm sorry."
Almost as the dam has been broken, Sora gives Kairi a tight hug and sobs into her shoulder. For a millisecond she freezes before she gives him an equally tight squeeze, letting her own tears run free over her face.
And for the longest time, they simply sit and cry there on Riku's tree, mourning for him, and wishing that he could come back to them.
It was now dark. Their tears are cleaned up and they're watching the sun go down. Sora's arm is around Kairi's shoulder (more as a source of warmth than anything else) and Kairi leans against him, glad to have someone to support her.
Through unspoken words, they decide that it's time to head back home as not to worry their parents too much. Hopping off of the tree, Sora pauses for a moment before reaching his hand back for Kairi, giving her a small smile.
Returning that smile, Kairi takes his hand and they walk away together into the night.

He played his whole career for Manchester United, making 963 appearances, and in the process became the most decorated player in the history of British football.
When he decided he wanted to go down the road of football management, then you could expect that he would be in high demand. A lot has happened since he took up a coaching role under David Moyes, but despite vast change at United, nothing changes for Ryan Giggs.
United continue to struggle to move on from the Sir Alex Ferguson era. Moyes did not last a season, rightly or wrongly, and Louis van Gaal has not been able to deliver any success in terms of trophies. He may do before the season is out, but even an FA Cup win may still not save him from the axe. It is possible that United could appoint a fourth different manager in the summer, just three years after Sir Alex left the post.
Giggs, of course, has also spent time in the hot seat finishing off the solitary season that Moyes oversaw. The extremely hot seat. The seat that is quickly becoming a poisoned chalice. It appears there are three roads United can take in the summer. There are many options of course, but the most likely are to keep van Gaal, appoint Jose Mourinho or appoint Giggs himself. In each scenario, Giggs would be a massive influence.
Giggs and van Gaal
If United choose to keep van Gaal, then the status quo remains. Giggs is the assistant to van Gaal and he appears to be very happy with his role. It seems to have taken a while for Giggs to start to publicly exert himself, but recently there have been signs that he wants to put his head above the parapet.
When United lost 1-0 at home to Norwich City in December, they were in an awful run of form. Successive league defeats, the exit from the Champions League and on top of that some awful football had fans up in arms. One of the criticisms towards van Gaal is that he does not show passion, but merely sits and scribbles notes throughout a game. Against Norwich, he did the same. Giggs seems to have taken van Gaal's lead in that respect and normally stays at the Dutchman's side, but midway through the second half he had seen enough.
He stood up, went to the touchline and began trying to change the course of a game that was slipping away. Ultimately it had no impact, United still lost, but it showed that Giggs is finally starting to come out of his shell. He has got up on more occasions since then, he has started to do a few more interviews, and it has been said by van Gaal himself that he is getting more responsibility.
When the board overlooked Giggs as the permanent replacement to Moyes, the plan was for him to learn from van Gaal with a view to taking over when he retires. Assuming van Gaal stays in the post, then Giggs will do a third year in the assistant role and no doubt gear himself up as next season draws to a close in preparation for what is becoming the hardest job in football. If van Gaal has managed to win a trophy, and ideally the league, then Giggs will be pretty grateful that some pressure will have been released.
Giggs and Mourinho
After Pep Guardiola to Manchester City was announced, the next 'worst kept secret in football' was splashed all over the media. Jose Mourinho has allegedly signed a pre-contract to succeed van Gaal, and that will be the most likely outcome if van Gaal is sacked. Taking the decision to sack van Gaal is obviously something United are still hesitating on, hence the pre-contract that suggests a lot of money will go in Mourinho's direction should the club decide to overlook him once again.
Assuming he is brought in, then it would be folly for him to decide against Giggs as his assistant, and folly for the club to allow him. In truth, Mourinho would want Giggs for sure. Wherever he has gone, he has always kept a 'club man' as his assistant. Continuity - if there is such a thing at United these days - is important. Nobody, not even Sir Alex or Sir Bobby Charlton, knows the club better than Ryan Giggs.
Although both are Directors, they have not been involved in the football side for some time (Sir Bobby never in a management capacity at United). They would certainly be fantastic soundboards for Mourinho, but only Giggs would know the characters of the current bunch of players in the wake of van Gaal's departure. He would, of course, still have an insight into what (or who) drove United to success in the not-too-distant past.
Mourinho may have concerns about Giggs being the heir-to-the-throne, but he is a big enough character to ignore that particular story. Mourinho is fiercely loyal to his players (until this year) and staff, and he would well be aware of the clubs stance, and Giggs' ambition. That wouldn't be a problem, although that follows the assumption that Mourinho is a 'three-year' man.
If he were successful enough to warrant an extension on any contract he signed, then turning his back on United would not be easy. He is young enough to go on for another 10 years in management, but there is enough speculation before he has been given the job, so predicting what will happen in two or three years time is pointless. If United want Mourinho and Giggs, then somehow they will find a way to make it happen.
Giggs the Gaffer
Giggs looked like he was born to play football, but in his brief time in charge of the team, he looked like he was born to manage also. He looked the part whether he was in his tracksuit - he was still a player at the time - or whether in his club suit. His demeanor in his interviews was calm, confident and he speaks an enormous amount of sense, as you would expect. If van Gaal or Mourinho command respect, then so does Giggs. He would have no trouble attracting players.
He is quietly spoken, but behind those beady eyes, there is a steely determination. His style was to have a watching brief, but when he felt it necessary he came down to the touchline and observed at close hand. There was quite a bit made of his touchline foray against Norwich, with some fans suggesting he was trying to put a nail in van Gaal's coffin. A ridiculous notion.
If van Gaal feels there is nothing to be gained from being out on the touchline, then Giggs may well have listened and followed suit. However, there couldn't be a United fan in the world that didn't want to scream and shout at the players on that day, though, and Giggs is no different. He is United through and through.
If van Gaal fails to get a Champions League place or win the FA Cup, then the situation is a grim one. A novice manager is not what is required in such a situation, but this is not any novice. If that is the situation then two vastly experienced managers will have failed dismally. Bringing in Mourinho would be the logical solution, given that he almost always delivers trophies, but even he is no guarantee.
What you would get with Giggs that nobody could else could offer is nearly 30 years experience at that football club. He joined United as a 14-year-old, and United were in a much worse situation than the one they find themselves now. He has seen United grow into the corporate monster it is now, but it grew as a result of what happened out on the football field and he was an integral part of that.
He has spoken this week about how youth will always come to the fore, and although van Gaal has shown he is fully committed to bringing young players through, so would Giggs. What may differ from van Gaal, and even Mourinho is that the football would not be pragmatic, it would be attack based. If Giggs could not prevent a Guardiola domination, or repel the challenge from multiple clubs, then it wouldn't be for a lack of fight.
Giggs cutting ties
There is one last scenario that every United fan should dread. The one where Giggs decides to finally fly the nest. If he gets no guarantee that he will eventually take over the manager's job at United, and the right offer came in from outside then he could well decide that it was time to show his worth. That could be the end of his association with United full stop and would be as sad a day as when Sir Alex called it a day.
Bryan Robson and Roy Keane were both touted as successors to Sir Alex, but both enjoyed very limited success. Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes have proved they are fantastic managers, but their success has not garnered any trophies. Keeping your head above water is an achievement in itself, but the truth is that when you become a manager the likelihood is that at some point you will be sacked. When that happens, you are unlikely to get the opportunities at a job like United.
Mourinho has been sacked, twice in England, but he has always left his mark and a league title. Occasionally a European one. Unless Giggs was able to find a club where the board were realistic with their expectations - Southampton for instance - then he would have to pull off a Leicester style miracle and take an unfashionable club to the point of greatness.
That would not necessarily be beyond him, but Giggs' disadvantage is that he has only ever known one club. For that reason, he would probably be prepared to continue his apprenticeship a bit longer. He was touted for the Swansea City job earlier this season, and if he does take flight, then he will have no apron strings to cling to.
United have one of the most crucial decisions in their history on the horizon. Giggs' future is possibly at the heart of any decision, but there is nothing in his past to suggests his future will not follow in the same vein whatever the outcome

It is as if some sort of cosmic energy
is continually pulsing
through my veins,
cascading along, dancing
with my white blood cells, finding
a home in every organ
of my body.
I hold the universe
inside of me
and I delight
in the idea of that for days
on end,
but when I hit blackest of holes,
the galaxies
that live beneath my skin
never cease.
Bone deep
exhaustion near cripples me,
the melancholy damn near swallows
me alive,
but still, the stars erupt
with every
ba bump of my heartbeat, and shoot
through my system.
This world is a cruel place
for a mad girl
with stars falling
under her skin.

How cool would it be to have our very own Lego theme? Well Mingles has gone out of his way to work on his own rendition in hopes to bring this to light. Nintendo, Lego, do you copy?
Over the last year I have personally spent a huge amount of time designing these 3D models of LEGO scaled items from the Legend of Zelda series. Despite being able to manufacture them to be actually used in LEGO via the 3D printing service Shapeways, I and many other fans have a strong desire to see an official LEGO version of the franchise.
It sounds and looks awesome. Check the full concept out over at the source.

REGARDING ADULT FILM WORKI am a mainstream feature film producer and financier and a hobby
photographer who is interested in expanding my portfolio into all the listed
genres Including making adult films. I am just getting into the adult side of the business (although having bee n involved in the swinger scene in NY and LA in the 80-90's have known, been involved with several people in the industry) and am interested in making a series of unique BG videos that are educational as well as a series of other adult videos. Initially videos using paralyzed males to educate returning veterans and others that sex is not only still possible with adaptation (swings, toys, other apparatuses, fetishes etc.)but can be as enjoyable as before injury. All male talent will be tested of course but will most likely be amateurs due to the subject matter. So female talent should understand the pubrpose of the videos and not have hang ups with the subject as well as be willing to experiment with different ideas and not expect standard scripted content. Eventually I will produce more mainstream adult content and am always willing to try to find parts in mainstream work for talent involved in projects or others who have true acting ability or experience. My professional bio as a producer is below but doesn't include films I have been involved with at the studios or by financing.
REGARDING PHOTOGRAPHY Another goal is to submit models/photo shoots to magazines like FHM,
Maxim, Playboy, Skin II etc. and start shooting portfolio work for
others. I'm not here to get rich or famous, I just enjoy taking pictures
of beautiful people and places. I am looking to collaborate with:
Models who would
like to expand their portfolios
Models wanting to
submit to magazines.
Makeup artists,
stylists looking to collaborate on anything from art to glamour, fashion to
fetish and everything in between.
Clothing designers
looking for new photos of their pieces.
And looking to
collaborate with photographers who are willing to work together on projects for
mutual benefit.
Additionally, I am
looking for models who are looking to transition into mainstream acting or
actresses who are looking for additional opportunities to connect with other
film professionals. PROFESSIONALLY Julian

Looks great. Only problem I had was finding lug nuts to fit the very narrow tunnels. Probably more of a Mini cooper problem than a wheel problem, but beware! I've received nothing but compliments since installing. Would highly recommend.

McDonald's is doing things a little backwards. Usually, how it works is: companies go green, and then change their logo to reflect these new, sustainable practices.
But McDonald's Europe has decided to go ahead and make that logo switch first. An Associated Press article reports that European McDonald's is exchanging its traditional red color for a deep hunter green in an effort to project a more environmentally friendly image.
Around 100 German locations will convert to the green color by the end of this year. Some Great Britain and French units have made the switch already with the new colors behind the Golden Arches. "This is not only a German initiative but a Europe-wide initiative," said Martin Nowicki, McDonald's Germany spokesman.
"With this new appearance we want to clarify our responsibility for the preservation of natural resources. In the future we will put an even larger focus on that," said Hoger Beek, vice chairman of McDonald's Germany.
That's the thing about sustainability, McDonald's. It's really NOT about image, it's about action. However, McDonald's has been applauded by environmental groups this year, such as Greenpeace. But on the other hand, it's McDonald's!
