Fire and Snowflakes
There really isn't anything to say!
Behind those Bars
It's like you are dead, like I will never get to see you again. Like you are visiting our hollow eyed grandmother, and contemplate haunting us. You are going to miss our little brother's graduation. You won't meet my husband, won't know my children. You'll never have your own, won't love your job. You will never have a life. They are hiding you. I can't see you, I can't hear you, I can't find you. You are already haunting me, all I can think of, stuck in my mind. It's like you are dead.
Images so brightly burned inside my mind.
with every wink, the shadowed memories ignite behind my eyes.
My kind, hardworking Father
(strong in his children's eyes
fights and struggles with his urine colored poison.
desperate to silence the screams in his heart
from the wife who left to pleasure herself in
a Sea of childish fantasy)
Grabs for the Sirens, small, red, and blue, that sing their temptress song.
They promise to take away his pain
make the noise stop.
So he chokes them down quickly, like little chocolate candies,
while we ,his children, watch.
And with tear streamed eyes we wait
For uniformed men. and Welcome the Red and Blue disco
while we hold each other close and pray this isn't
his last Dance…
Open my eyes and Breathe again,
but as I blink, it sneaks like smoke behind my
lids and the memory appears.
my Brother
(who never quite felt whole
who always felt like disappointment, worthlessness, never
realized how much we love him. Had had enough. too
much Addiction, too much Shame, too much Guilt)
Grabbed for the snarling, sharp-toothed metal
and prepared for its powerful Kiss.
and as I pushed on the thousand pound door,
and saw the lipstick stained mirror whispering,
"I'm sorry mom, i Am a piece of shit"
I gazed upon the Grizzly scrap metal beast,
rested 'neath his tear glazed chin-
his finger on the e'er so welcoming trigger.
and crawling on the floor, a devil's howl
forced itself from the bowels of my soul,
I gripped the slick linoleum searching for,
Help, welcoming strong arms,
and through rain covered windows I gazed,
howling, hoping this wouldn't be
his last Storm…
Not Just A Dream
This is just an original poem I wrote for my creative writing class.
I closed my eyes last night,
just once
Then i opened them
and saw it all.
the Serpent slithered slowly toward me
while i froze in fear
he sang to me
he violated me
he learned me,
inside and out
And then he bit me
filling me with his colorful poisons,
I resisted at first,
but I gave up,
embraced it,
Mentally, Emotionally
it filled me up and took over my body.
He was a part of me.
he unveiled my true Identity.
and i decided to go hunting
i had a craving for Rabbits……..
I slit the first one's throat
and watched the life spill out of its Eyes.
watched the color drain from its face
so Innocent and tame.
i tortured the next one
hammered nails through its body
harmonizing with its piercing Scream
smiling as the blood drips down my canvas
That one deserved it.
IRape the last one
dominate it, force myself into it with Small, threatening hands
watch for that look of Powerlessness,
just before I grip hard and r.i.p. out its Heart.
then I lick the blood from my fingers
and smoke a Cigarette.
i closed my eyes last night,
just once.

Without question, the biggest release at the multiplex this weekend will be Disney's John Carter, the big screen, 3D adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic sci-fi novel series John Carter of Mars. The epic scale of the film is matched only by its immense and diverse cast. Along with a number of recognizable acting veterans, John Carter also features a plethora of stars on the rise. Here are a few notables
Taylor Kitsch
Why not start with the star of the film, eh? Taylor Kitsch, who plays our planet-hopping hero, gleans a lot of attention amongst Austin film and TV geeks for his work on the series Friday Night Lights; based on the 2004 film by Peter Berg. Though born in British Colombia, Kitsch perfectly captures the personality and mannerisms of Texas high school football player Tim Riggins with an added, fascinating edge. The series is filmed here in town. Kitsch has also made his mark on the superhero genre by appearing in Marvel's 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While I won't defend the merits of the film itself, Thor knows it was far from Marvel's best, I would like to see Kitsch's Gambit character fleshed out a bit more. Rémy LeBeau was easily my favorite X-Men, and it was unfortunate that the only attention paid to him by the franchise was Kitsch's brief cameo in this less-than-stellar entry.
Lynn Collins
From a Texas adoptee to a true Texas native, the gorgeous Lynn Collins plays the love interest in John Carter. She plays a Martian princess called Dejah Thoris whose beauty, grace, and adeptness with a sword will not leave your consciousness even long after you leave the theater. Coincidentally, Collins also appeared in Marvel's X-Men Origins: Wolverine; playing Logan's girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. More likely however, you'll probably recognize Lynn Collins from her five-episode stint as the unfortunate Dawn in the first season of HBO's sexalicious vampire series True Blood. She also appeared in 2009's Blood Creek with Michael Fassbender and 2006's Bug alongside Ashley Judd; two films we highly recommend.
Samantha Morton
John Carter runs into many strange and interesting characters during his time on the red planet. One such character is the very sympathetic Sola, a female member of the Tharks (a bizarre, green, four-armed race). Though her name may not immediately ring any bells or recall a face, Samantha Morton, who elegantly voices Sola, has been lending her impressive talents to movies and television since the early 90s. After some television work in her native England, including an appearance on the popular BBC series Cracker, Morton appeared in the 1999 Woody Allen comedy Sweet and Lowdown. But arguably her biggest break came when she co-starred in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report alongside Tom Cruise. Morton played the female telepath Agatha who becomes the key to helping Cruise's hero solve a decades-old mystery. Morton has since appeared in films such as In America, The Libertine, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
James Purefoy
When one is facing all manner of aliens, beasts, and humanoid aggressors, it pays to have a skilled warrior by one's side. Luckily, John Carter allied himself with the skilful and cunning Kantos Kan; a captain of the army of Helium. Portraying Kan is the very talented British actor James Purefoy. Purefoy appeared in several films, among them A Knight's Tale, Resident Evil, and Vanity Fair, before landing the role of Mark Anthony in HBO's celebrated series Rome. But if you only seek out one project on Purefoy's resume, I highly recommend his 2009 actioner Solomon Kane. In the film, based on a comic book by >Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard, Purefoy plays the titular antihero who sells his soul to the devil and then lives his life trying to win it back through various acts of valor. The film is every bit as exciting and spectacular as a major Hollywood superhero film on a budget a fraction of the size.
Polly Walker
Rounding out our list of John Carter's talent pool is the stunning Polly Walker. Walker lends her voice and movements to the treacherous Sarkoja, another member of the Thark race. A native of Cheshire, England, Walker is a seasoned veteran of some of the most notable television series on both sides of the pond. Walker appeared in the 2003 British political thriller series State of Play, which was re-imagined as a film in 2009 starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, as well as HBO's Rome and SyFy's Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica. In addition, Walker appeared as the lovely Cassiopeia in 2010's Clash of the Titans.

A new proposed agreement between the Minnesota Twins and Lee County would allow the Twins to change the name of Hammond Stadium, in turn the team would pay the county.
Assistant County Manager Doug Meurer says the team has not asked to change the name but this deal would give the Twins the same naming rights as the Boston Red Sox, whose spring training stadium is sponsored by JetBlue.
If approved, the Twins agree to stay in Lee County for the next 30 years, with at least $40 million in upgrades to their current spring training facility.

Southern Illinois residents affected by the tornadoes and storms in February may still have a chance to receive federal relief aid.
Gov. Pat Quinn's office announced it will submit paperwork on Friday to appeal the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reconsider giving aid to five counties struck by the storms that destroyed home and displaced thousands of residents.
The news rallied continued support from U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk, who vowed to appeal the decision earlier in the week. They will join the entire Illinois Congressional Delegation on Friday in sending a letter to President Obama for support of the appeal, according to a joint release from Durbin's press office on Friday. The release also included a copy the letter they will send and here is an excerpt:
"According to the Governor, Illinois was denied federal funding for these five counties because the information gathered during joint federal, state, and local preliminary damage assessments indicated the damage in these counties was not of the severity and magnitude that would warrant a major disaster declaration. Subsequent to the gathering of this information, however, additional information about the communities in these five counties has been brought to light. Without help, this disaster may have provided a blow the local economy simply cannot recover from fully."
The letter also highlights that only about twenty percent of the residents affected by the tornadoes and storms have insurance to cover this type of damage. A disaster declaration would allow these areas to apply for federal reimbursements for storm damage repairs.
Earlier in the week, FEMA ruled the damages from the storms that struck on Feb. 29 in the towns, including Harrisburg where seven people died, did not constitute a federal disaster. It came a surprise to lawmakers who had asked for federal relief aid only a week earlier.
Durbin and Kirk vowed to appeal the decision and met with FEMA Administrator, Craig Fugate, on Wednesday to discuss the original decision along with an appeal.
"The damage in Harrisburg, Ridgeway and the surrounding communities was some of the worst I have ever seen. I couldn't believe that the federal government initially denied Illinois' request for aid, but I am encouraged by today's meeting with Administrator Fugate," Durbin said in a statement after the meeting.
FEMA then said they would allow Illinois to recalculate the damage from the storms and consider the appeal.
Illinois seeks the aid for Saline, Gallatin, Randolph, Union and Williamson counties.

This conversation is closed.
Does it happen to you that things you were thinking of became a part of your daily lives?
Hello everyone. My name is Koral, and I'm really sorry if my English is not accurate (I'm working on it :).
a few years ago I watched an amazing movie that totally changen my life wich called "the secret".
In short, the film deals with the many capabilities inherent in thought and imagination and their power to create a new reality. That is, the fact that things that we imagine, think and believe become to be our reality. I was wondering if anyone heard about this movie, apply the secret and it really worked. Would love to hear stories and experiences. :)
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 21 2013: Yes, the first I heard about 'The secret' was the original book after a famous talkshow host called Oprah talked about how more or less everything can be fixed with positive thinking..
Suddenly Oprah wasn't so keen to applaud the great wisdom of the book that is 'think happy thoughts' when a viewer came on the show with stage 3 breast cancer and said she wasn't going to have treatment and instead just think happy thoughts like Oprah and the book proclaimed.
The woman later died, ofcourse, unsurprisingly.
Its sad, but I would also call it natural selection and a case study of what happens when people buy into such moronic crap..
'I was wondering if anyone heard about this movie, apply the secret and it really worked.'
Yes, some people have tried the REAL secret and it REALLY WORKS, better than anything..
This is how it works..
Step 1: Come up with a moronic idea that gullible people will buy into
Step 2: Apply it to trivial aspects of their lives and claim it will help
Step 3: Gullible people will attribute your nonsense to anything positive that happens or will convince themselves something positive happened, even when it didn't.
Step 4: Get these people to buy your books, movies, t-shirts, cds etc etc
Step 5: Be rich beyond your wildest dreams!
Try it, it really works!
Jan 21 2013: ok, it's obvious that you are not particularly spiritual person, and honestly me neither.
when I saw the movie I was very young and innocent and belived that thing called the secret. I tried it, imagined myself with the things i ever wanted and really belived it is mine in reality! guess what.. today all those things are mine. I dont say that you shouldn't work in order to acheive things, you must work very hard, but without belive and positive thoughts you wont acheive nothing.
Gordon Barker 10+Jan 23 2013: Positive thoughts do have a certain abiltiy over our health although it is not a force strong enough to combat stage 3 cancer. Some studies have shown that positive reinforcement can have a positive effect on health and healing.
That being said, wishful thinking to get something is nonsence. Things occur in your life because you make correct decisioins at key points, take advantages of situations when they arise, have friends and relationships that are positive and giving rather than train wrecks.
If you can't see that, you have a different problem
Autumn Frisco 10+Feb 3 2013: When the reason you choose to do only this one 'intervention' (positive thinking to cure cancer) you have to be more aware of the reason you are making this decision.
A keen sense of self and what fullfills you is really at the heart of 'the secret'. I do believe when you pursue your lifes passion/purpose your dreams are attainable and it can appear the universe conspires to help you achieve your goals.
If this woman was truly in touch with her self and in tune with what I call her higher self, she may have realized her desire to believe in the secret resulted from fear of the other treatment options.
Anything that is done from fear of something else will never breed the desired result.

Will Sam Adams taste the same in a 'Sam Can'?
Its famed Boston Lager will be available in a newfangled can this summer, marking the latest craft beer to expand beyond glass bottles.
After a multimillion dollar investment, Boston Beer Co. (SAM) says it has cracked the problem of canned beer: a tinny taste that can't compare with a glass bottle. The brewer will introduce its Sam Adams Boston Lager in a "Sam Can" this summer.
The question is whether fans will agree with founder Jim Koch's assertion that he's found a way to deliver "a slight but noticeably better drinking experience than the standard beer can."
Sam Adams isn't just any brewer making a foray into the world of cans. Introduced in the mid-1980s, its Boston Lager was one of the country's first microbrewed beers, gaining fans around Boston before expanding across the country. It's now the country's largest-selling craft beer, according to Boston Beer.
The can-versus-bottle debate has waged for years, with can supporters saying they're lighter and that they even provide a better taste. Glass bottle proponents disagree on the taste issue and point out that glass is better for the environment, since it's made from silica, an easier-to-find material than aluminum's bauxite.
While aficionado often snub canned beer as holding lower-quality brews, Sam Adams is promising its new packaging won't deliver a typical canned experience.
Koch and other brewers at the company worked with can maker Ball (BLL), a design team at IDEO and a "sensory expert" at GEI Consultants. That expert, Roy Desrochers, has worked for three decades with the brewing industry.
"The flared lip and wider top of the new Sam Can work in concert to deliver the beer in a way that makes the flavor closer to drinking out of a glass," Desrochers said, according to MediaPost.
The investment means the "Sam Can" will cost more to produce than the standard can, although there's no word on whether that will translate into higher costs for drinkers.
Canning craft beer started in 2002, when Colorado's Oskar Blues Brewery exclusively packaged its beer in cans.
Since then, more than 250 craft brewers have jumped on board, according to CraftCans.com. The site advises drinkers to pour the brew into a glass, rather than sipping directly from the can, to avoid an aluminum taste.
I love Samuel Adams especially the Imperial Ale. it's the closet thing to import McEwans that isn't imported to US anymore! but i pour my
bottle into a beer glass anyway when i can. I would buy Sam Adams in cans to take to the beach then i wouldn't have to pour my
bottle beer into a plastic cup anymore since they don't allow bottles on beach! stupid law! DON'T DRINK BUD OR MILLER! HORSE PISS!

Some Redskins fans have gotten carried away with the team's strong start. Washington is 2-0 and a group of empowered fans believe all the team's past problems are behind them. Evidence (some language NSFW):
Please tell me what burning an old Albert Haynesworth jersey has to do with anything. I realize the guy was fat, out of shape, and a cancer in the locker room, but why bring back painful memories? Then again, if I could explain why jersey burning was so popular to begin with, I'd be in the psychology business, not sports. Maybe it's some sort of release for fans. Kind of like what will happen to Haynesworth if he doesn't pick it up in New England.

Welcome to Virginia American Water's Hopewell Page
About Your Water System
Virginia American Water serves about 9,300 residential, commercial and industrial customers (connections) in our Hopewell District, which includes the City of Hopewell, potions of Prince George County and Fort Lee. The source of supply for Hopewell's drinking water is the Appomattox River, near the confluence with the James River.
Our intake pipe and pump house on the Appomattox River are located near the Hopewell Marina. About 21 million gallons of water pass through the intake pipe and pump house each day. The water is pumped to the Virginia American Water treatment plant in Hopewell, about 1.3 miles away, where it goes through a complex treatment process that first involves flocculation and sedimentation to remove dirt particles. The water next goes through a filtration process that removes even the smallest particles. After the water is disinfected and treated to refine water quality, it travels through 179 miles of water main pipe to get to the homes and businesses we serve.
Virginia American Water conducts more than 4,000 tests every year to ensure that your water is high quality and meets all federal and state standards.
Investments in the Hopewell System
Given all that goes into treating water and getting it to your home, water service is an exceptional value at about a penny a gallon!

According to W3Techs, Ubuntu is the only web server OS showing a continuous growth rate for (at least) the last year. After passing Suse and Fedora last year, we passed in front of RHEL usage in July. CentOS and Debian are still ahead though.
More details at: http://w3techs.com/technologies/history_details/os-linux
Not just growth, but about 60% increase in just the past year!
each axis needs a unit and a dimension along with the numbers!
Sorry, the link to get more details was not prominent, it should now be more accessible.
What's interesting to see is that Debian keeps it's share very stable (look at yearly statistics). All RPM based distributions are losing share. RPM still has majority, but that might change by the end of the year…
Hey Nicolas,
the stats are giving me a smile on my face, but you and I know never trust a statistic which isn't forged by yourself ;)
Therefore, the stats, when I understand it correctly, are coming from the results of head requests against apache webservers running on different distros.
So, the total number of hosts running apache on different distros could be higher, because many Admins are hiding the OS from the return result. Furthermore, there are other services running on other hosts like Mailservers etc, which are not counted (sadly).
What' more interesting would be the absolute numbers of hosts of users/companies using Ubuntu, RedHat, SLES etc. I know this is not that easy, but RH does sell support for RHEL releases so they should have a good number of hosts per customers who are running RHEL. SuSE does the same.
The number of this statistic doesn't surprise me, really, because having Amazon S3 Cloud and the easy to deploy solution of Ubuntu on Amazons Cloud gives people more chances to get started easily with a host running apache, without a clue on how to secure their hosts.
I won't go as far as to say don't trust these graphs. But I will say this…
Since Nicolas was kind enough to point to the data source as a reference, instead of asking him to tell me how the OS is determined I asked w3techs concerning details about how they fingerprint hosts in an email today. I was told in the reply I got back that they consider their methodology a proprietary algorithm and would not go into details about it with me. They implied it was based in part on header information, but they flatly declined to go into specifics concerning the heuristics they use. The person who responded to me was very polite and very prompt with the information.
I have a very large problem with the attitude that it is acceptable for a data analytics company to publish data publicly but refuse to make the methodology public. Paying customers who purchase data products from analytics companies get access to methodology as part of the deliverable under contract/licensing terms which restrict republication as part of the business relationship. If you are going to publish data publicly you should be prepared to explain the methodology to the public on an equal access basis to the entire readership. Methodology matters.
And while I understand why Nicolas reached for these numbers, and I do not find the trends unreasonable on their face, I'm disheartened that he feels its acceptable to republish data from sources which flat refuse to publish their methodology for public scrutiny. It frankly unacceptable to continue to republish data like this without first vetting the methodology yourself so you can explain it in detail (or being able to point to a concise and accurate methodology statement if the methodology is itself beyond your understanding)
The question I would _love_ to be able to ask, which they don't provide a trend for is the following. How does Unknown Unix trend against Linux in time? Is Unknown Unix growing? How much of Unknown Unix is really Linux they can't determine via their algorithm and thus shows up in the wrong place? Is the rate of growth of Unknown Unix outpacing the grown of Ubuntu in their trending?
since I checked first the source of data, and, like you, didn't get any clue on how they gathered the data, I think people need to put the data into the right context.
As Nicolas, I'm really happy about the growth of Ubuntu Servers, but people who are reading this on planet.ubuntu.com or on the ubuntu cloud portal, need to put the message + the data into the right context:
2a) http://w3techs.com/…unix/all/all ← 50.2% Linux and 47.6% Unkown , also have BSD, Solaris, Darwin and HP-UX. What hosts are the 47.6% Unkown? Could I read this number as "there could be 97.6% hosts using Linux, but we only can determine 50.2% of them as real Linux Servers"? 2b) Their explanation of "Technologies" on http://w3techs.com/technologies is more then accurate 2c) Their disclaimer on http://w3techs.com/disclaimer is just a bla bla of what you found out, that they don't want to provide their method of data gathering
3a) Means, there is eventually a growth of Ubuntu, but only 5.3% of all hosts are running Ubuntu as OS. 3b) When you read this number, a growth of 6.5% between october 2010(10.3%) and october 2011 (16.5%) is really a good growth, but the absolute numbers of hosts are not.
And this is only my interpretation of the known numbers. Eventually you can find another interpretation of those. And all the other readers will do the same. Therefore, don't trust statistics, you didn't forge yourself.
Yes, I really really wish at the very least they had a trending graph for the unknown Unix segment. If Unknown growth is also decreasing, then the conclusion Nic wants to draw is validated to some extent. If Unknown is grown as large or larger than Ubuntu, then you can't make any conclusion as to regard to relative growth as the Unknown category is hiding a lot of information.
I think Ubuntu is not the only web server OS who is having a consistent growth rate because if you study the graph for the past six months, you can see that Mac OS aren't lagging that far behind, although the same can't be said about Microsoft. It is true that Ubuntu leads Mac by a million miles when it comes to the rate percentage but then again the high demands for Ubuntu rising every day has played a huge role in its 60% increase.There is growth everywhere private cloud hosting is becoming more and more popular than normal hosting..

The Letter That Came In The Mail
A few days ago, my parents in FL received a letter in the mail from the Trial Court of Massachusetts District Court Department, stating that I needed to be present in court in Greenfield, MA, alleging that I unlawfully wiretapped a member of the Greenfield Police Department on May 20, 2011. The charge is, as it is written in the letter, "WIRETAP, UNLAWFUL c272 §99(C)(1)", which is a felony in Massachusetts. The charge was filed on August 11, 2011. It is August 21, 2011 and I am just now receiving the letter today from my parents. The date of the arraignment is September 7, 2011.
I still do not know how Greenfield acquired my parents address back home; I can only speculate at this point.
The court has not stated how I have allegedly committed this offense, so I have nothing to go on at the moment, other than speculation. Now, why Greenfield, MA is trying this again after they failed to convict my friends Pete Eyre and Ademo Freeman for the same "offense", I do not know. This could be to save face or to try and further make an example of one who tries to hold public officials accountable for their actions. I do not understand their motives as I do not yet know who I've apparently hurt in the matter.
I plan to post on this blog daily, covering my own personal encounters with this situation as well as other relevant cases. Stay tuned to this blog for updates.

The Victoria City Rowing Club (VCRC) is a non profit community rowing club operating out of the Victoria Rowing Society boathouse located on scenic Elk Lake. VCRC shares this facility with the Canadian National team, the University of Victoria and the Greater Victoria Youth Rowing Society.
VCRC offers a variety of recreational, seasonal, and competitive programs that facilitate the needs of novice athletes, community athletes (Corporate Challenge) and competitive athletes for all age categories (12 yrs old - 99 yrs old). We also offer customized training camps and private coaching to those individuals who do not fall into our structured programs.
The excellence of the club is driven by athletes and coaches alike and VCRC is fortunate to employ a consistent core of dedicated and talented coaches. Many of these coaches are alumni of our VCRC competitive programs who have learned the art of giving back to the sport they love. Their presence carries forward the community values that we hope to instil in our membership.
Your journey into the sport of rowing can begin here and it can carry you as far as you would like to take it. Athletes of all ages have gone on to represent Canada at the highest levels and we enjoy being a part of the journey.

Investment adviser David DeCamilla will be feted this weekend in Columbia, S.C., where from 1968 to 1970 he anchored the offensive line for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.
His blocking and explosive moves earned him a spot on the first team of the All Atlantic Coast Conference back then and now, induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame by the universitys Association of Lettermen.
Some might say the 65-year-old DeCamilla is off to relive his glory days, but since college, he coached football under such greats as Michigan State Universitys Duffy Daugherty, he founded an investment advisory firm with more than $30 million in assets under management, he bought The Brickhouse Gallery & Arts Complex and Panama Pottery in Sacramento, and he started producing his Tehama Blend olive oil from the fruit of his orchard in Corning.
A football scholarship provided an upstate New York teen with an opportunity to see and do things that he might not otherwise have had. It paid for his bachelors degree in economics, and he gained coaching skills that helped to fund his masters degree in labor and industrial relations from MSU. DeCamilla said he always strived to be a good citizen, a good student and a good athlete. He shares the mantra with kids when he gets a chance, though he amends the third item in the list to reflect the childs passion.
Youve got to be balanced, he said. I mean, you see a lot of kids who are great athletes, and they are just troubled. Youve got to have all three. ... A lot of times, they (parents) will say, Well, if you dont make the grades, you cant do the sports. I think thats wrong. I think you tell the youngsters, The academics will help your sports, and heres how you do it.
The nations athletic training has gotten better and better in schools, DeCamilla said, even as academic training has lagged. The nations challenge, he said, is to figure out how to provide rigorous academic training that engages kids as much as practicing their favorite pastime.
State of wine entries
The number of entries declined this year in the California State Fairs commercial wine competition, but it was a setback encountered by a number of other contests judged in the first half of this year.
The State Fair received 2,625 entries, down by roughly 200 from last year. Entries slipped by 3 percent for both international contests in Los Angeles and the San Diego. The Winemaker Challenge, also an international competition, reported a 10 percent decline.
Mike Dunne, the co-chief judge for this years State Fair competition, told me that the decline might indicate just how well the wine industry fared last year.
The wine industry pretty much got through the recession without being hurt, he said. Sales continued to increase and a lot of wineries are doing really, really well, and their inventories are down. They dont have the wine to enter. Theyre selling so much of it. And closely related to that, theyre selling so well that theres not the impetus to enter competitions.
U.S. winemakers sold a record $34.6 billion in wine in 2012, according to wine industry consultant Jon Fredrikson of Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates in Woodside, and nearly 60 percent of those sales were made by California vintners.
Wine Talk columnist Robert Whitley said he and several other competition directors saw entries drop in the first half of 2013 but that the second half is definitely looking up.
From mini to mega
Danny Johnson couldnt let opportunity pass him by, so he went ahead and signed a lease to double the space for his mini-doughnut empire at 900 Second St. in Old Sacramento.
Its a big decision, he said. Its a lot of rent to pay. Its no joke now, but I had no choice. What option do I have stay small and mediocre, or reach for the stars?
So, in July, just one year after he doubled the size of Dannys Mini Donuts to 600 square feet, Johnson inked a deal that gives him 1,200 square feet. Johnson said the space next to his shop had just become empty, and it had a door on busy Second Street. He feared that someone else would take the spot and he would lose the ability to expand in a location that sits right across from the California State Railroad Museum.

I have a question that's been simmering on the back burner lately and I hope you can clarify it for me if you would Tom.
I've seen Fort Boyard and heard Little Britain. In both programs, your comments seem similiar in 'style'. Did the writers let you ad-lib with great liberty or were they scripted for you (other than the game question portion)? It just seems too coincidental that the off-the-wall comments could be used in either situation.
No matter what your answer may be...they all have put a smile on my face and a chuckle in the air.
Have a swell day and please cuddle Bella for me.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Girlfriend Death poems are examples of Death poems about Girlfriend. These are the best examples of Girlfriend Death poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
her life is on the tip of his tongue
the sparkle leaves her eyes
an arrow to his chest
drawing her to her death
a feather falling from the sky
the death of an angel
her wings turn blood red
like the color of the red sea
the sword drawn out of the ground
by her own hands
what he could not do himself
she has done for him
He falls unto to his knees
the arrow she had put into his chest
the greatest of betrayals
She asked for her death wish
Holding the ring in her palm
He looks into her eyes
watching the love she had left for him disappear
Falling into despair
Her face hitting the ground
Blood surrounded her body
He watched as she died
He couldn't move from the love that had pierced his chest
My love I can not find you anywhere,
I feel like I lost my soul somewhere,
because you are my soulmate,
and us being apart can not be fate.
You did not leave because you wanted to,
It just was just something you had to do.
I was not right, All I wanted to do was fight,
and knowing you was the love of my life,
yet I would not make you my wife.
I know that's what you really wanted
and now I am feeling haunted,
by the things I should have done,
and you being the only one
I ever loved and will love forever, if it was'nt for me we will still be together.
But you are gone
and I can not go on,
so I must say good-bye, I'm leaving myself to die.
They ran laughing
Into the night.
Hand in hand.
Heart in heart.
Twenty-One, and Nineteen.
Forging new pathways,
Skirting danger,
Laughing at the wind.
It took only
A second,
A heartbeat,
For the driver
To mow them down.
It took only
A second,
A lifetime
For love realized
to be lost.
But years before
He stood next to his father
Who said the choice is yours.
And the proud young man
Checked the box
And signed his name
Not knowing
That the heart
He gave the girl
Would not be
His to give.
Seven hours
Of waiting,
Seven hours
Of holding breaths
And hands,
And the heart
Began to beat
A sweet flower's funeral
displayed in the cold months
of snowy weather and bone chilling shivers.
A sweet flower burned away, dried up;
buried six feet under.
Oh, my sweet flower,
how you once bloomed with no remorse,
like a madman blooming with beauty
and a glorious halo over your head
shinned with such power and blinding glory.
Oh my sweet flower how you have gone now,
resting in peace in the land of paradise.
Oh, my heart it is weak when I see your face,
of once beautiful smiles and warm embraces.
I can hear your crying out to be free.
Snowing and bone chilling cold ripes at my soul
and feelings of sorrow rage through my blood,
boiling my hatred to the world, for losing your
sweet and ever glorious beauty.
What I would give away, if I could be with you
one last night, one last night together
to hold you in my arms, to smell your sweet perfume
that brings back sweet memories of you and I.
What I would do to be with you,
such romance travels through my heart in the highways
of my veins in my body, love is all throughout me,
and my heart breaks when pictures of you start to collect dust.
My love for you, my sweet flower,
is still ingering through the air,
as I travel and look upon a tombstone
which shows your beautiful name.
Come to me my dear flower,
when spring comes,
come to me my dear, sweet flower.
And bloom once again,
twice as large as last year,
and ten times more beautiful then last year.
Come to me in the first months of spring
in my dreams, so I could sit and talk with you.
I miss you already,
and my heart crys,
my eyes flood with tears of sorrow.
I miss our love we shared.
Long walks,
cosy talks,
warm cuddling embraces
and beautiful displayed in a picture frame.
Now I hear the tapping of raindrops on my window pane.
That is all that keeps me company,
that and the rose you gave to me
and a picture of you and me.
Love is endless, even when blue eyed Death comes to visit
and play a game of chess with us,
we all play our game, my love.
I shall go tonight
in my sleepy slumber
and dream of you in the times of our height in our love for each other.
My lost love, you are gone, resting in paradise,
but never forgotten my sweet flower.
Can I catch you
Can you stay?
Forests at wood
There we play
A gentle hand
That fixed the dress
Brushing tears back
Saving stress
I can not bare
The oaken wave
Only memories
Can I save
I miss your hair
And what it covered
More than a mind
God knows I loved her
The ghost I knew
She rests away
I can not catch you
You can not stay.
My constant mirror from heaven,
On earth and in the sea,
Only you can be;
But can you see yourself in my poetry?
Written August 29, 2013
She could have had my son
As we'd spell our names as one
On scattered ocean shores
Beneath that Indian sun
I loved my ma
And I loved her well
I loved my pa
And that musty smell
I hope to see them some day soon
I hope to see them smiling too
This Earth they left a bit too soon
Much thanks unto the scarlet moon
Some day well all be joined as one
Under scarlet moons and Indian suns
I love my family
How I miss this feeling
Of constant embrace
Awaiting at my feet
So come and pray for rain
To wash away our pain
Before the winter stains
What autumn left to drain
I hope to see them some day soon
I hope to see them smiling too
This Earth they left a bit too soon
Much thanks unto the scarlet moon
Some day well all be joined as one
Under scarlet moons and Indian suns

You left?
Because of me is it?
It was all my Fault was it?
I did Everything for you to love me,
I did Everything for you to accept me,
I did it all because I love you
But why?How could you?!
You left and break the Promise,
Which you were suppose to not Break it,
Your words were all a Lie was it?
And This is Just a Game then you`ll end it
I was just a Replacement,My Love
and YOU slap it on my Face like how it hurts
I tried and Tried to Move on,
But it still hurts
You were Mad because of a Worthless Lie,
You were mad just like how someone Died
But My Dear,You don`t need to Prove it on me
`cause I know I`m not the perfect one to thee
And Now may I tell you this,
That my Love is never Ending,
Whenever you hurt me
It just makes me love you more...
It makes me Feel heaven to fall for you,
But your life was in hell when I did too
So now I`m leaving and won`t come back
Because you left me Because of me.
I am what you call a hopeless
But im also a lost lovers cause, my
heart belongs to another
Yet in my head a love triangle starts
to form, the girl I love doesn't love
She holds the heart to another and
mine caged to the floor,
She isn't afraid to fight for what she
wants, not even when it comes to
leaving another man torn
Trust me she's happy, as that boy
holds her heart ever so close
Seeing what I shouldn't I smile as I
wear my blind fold,
Blind to everything around, lifeless
staring into air
My train of thought running so fast,
the second I stop you'll hear a crash
Derailing my hope, for ever finding a
love so pure & rare
Wishing I could hold the hand of the
lover who stole my flame,
Wish I could change the last days in
which we parted ways,
Realizing now that we can never be
the same
Finally saying it out loud as tears run
down my face
You stole my happiness, as I walked
away that day
But it's because as of what you said
I guessed I changed,
Now every relationship has just be
the same,
No one can seem to bring back that
Because a love likes ours comes
once in a lifetime
Well at least it does to me,
But I mean you're happy with who
your with
I mean I only wrote this as I heard
exchanging "I love you" flow from
each of your lips.

Does This Sound Familiar?
Your dog constantly embarrasses you by jumping on guests, barking at passersby, pulling you down the street, lunging at other dogs…. The list goes on and on! Whether your dog displays unwanted behaviors in your home, at the vet clinic or groomer's, at the dog park, or anywhere—it can be extremely frustrating for you and your family.
We Can Help!
We offer a common sense approach to dog training that's easy to learn and a natural way to train any dog or puppy. No gimmicks, treats or fancy, expensive equipment—we use natural dog-friendly training techniques that are never harsh or hurtful.
Our techniques leverage the same methods dogs instinctively use as part of their pack mentality, including voice tones, body language and other natural methods of communication. (Yes, you can learn to "talk dog!") Any age dog, any breed dog as well as any issue, including puppies!
To Read About My Training Options Click Here
Click Here to View Gerard's Local TV Interviews, Right Here In Tucson, AZ
What Makes Our Method Different From Other Dog Training Techniques?
Our method works because it's how dogs train each other in a natural pack environment. We start this process in your home, which is where your dog feels most safe, and with the people your dog most trusts: you. Each dog is an individual and has a different learning style. We first ascertain your dog's temperament before determining which training techniques your dog will respond to best. This yields both faster results and a happier, calmer dog. Our dog training program is not one-size-fits-all. Training is customized to fit your dog's temperament with your personality. We take into account all aspects of the dog's living situation and the relationship your dog has with you, as well as past relationships the dog may have experienced (e.g., if a shelter/rescue dog).
Call me today to discuss and schedule your free consultation!
In Tucson and surrounding areas, dial 520-440-8848 or Email me - firstname.lastname@example.com

Cast your mind back a couple of years and if you've been reading our blog since around 2012/13 you might recall a Work Placement student at Scarlet Opus called Zak who wrote a whole bunch of posts and helped to create our Autumn/Winter 2014/15 & trend boards.
Although Zak left us last summer to return to University to complete her degree, we've kept in touch and kept a keen eye on her development during her final year until last month Zak finally finished her degree and showcased her final collection. And today we're proud to share that collection with you!
Zak's print designs were heavily influenced by our 'Dangerous Apparitions' trend forecast for 2014 (it's a trend that Catherine took inspiration from for our dark, seductive Valentine's Day post this year which included a fab montage showing how to translate the trend for Interiors – check it out if you missed it!). It was fascinating for us to see Zak's take on our trend and her translation into a truly sumptuous wallpaper collection. Below Zak talks us through her designs, the inspiration and intention:
ABOVE: Initial inspiration board
'Hidden wonders" is a concept which is based upon what lies beneath the surreal transparency of the wild garden. It has an explosion of colour from my artistic expression of the imagination through dreams, free of conscious control and is linked with the perception of reality. It is a naturalistic approach revealing the unconscious and relating it to the realistic world, as there is 'more that meets the eye'.
ABOVE: Initial Market board
It has two characteristics – dark seductive surrealism fused with light delicate femininity creating a mysterious mood full of soft, dreamy layers of the natural environment, which intervenes with releasing the imagination.
ABOVE: Final wallpaper designs
The aim of the project was to create a tranquil, relaxing spa environment, which is stress free and transports the mind to a heavenly haven. It is an ultimate vision for a luxury majestic spa that is designed for the high-end of the market.
ABOVE: Close-up sections of Market board showing design in-situ
The wallpaper and cushions give the appearance of tactile textures and allows one to explore the potential of the luscious natural floral wild garden. The inspiration and creativity forms an escape to a Riviera of bloom and allows the individual to drift into a dream, opening doors to a new reality.
ABOVE: Close-up images of designs on cushions on Market board
We are pleased to announce that Zak was awarded a 2:1. Congratulations!!!
As she sets out on her journey into industry we wish her well.

One of Morocco's most memorable journeys is the 210-kilometre mountain road from Chefchaouen to Al Hoceima which weaves along high on the crests of the Rif mountains. Snow may occasionally block the road in winter but snowploughs soon restore the flow of traffic. The views for most of the year, however, are spectacular. Paul Bowles describes the route well in "The Rif, to Music" chapter of Their Heads Are Green – "mountains covered with olive trees, with oak trees, with bushes, and finally with giant cedars".
The road from Chefchaouen sweeps steadily upwards through attractive countryside with olive farms, cork oaks and flowery hedgerows to reach the village of Bab Taza, where, suddenly, the feeling of being at altitude kicks in. Beyond Khamis Medik, the road runs through woods of various oak species with the richest cultivation in the Rif on the impressively deep slopes below, dotted with farms and the expensive and isolated villas that are testimony to the wealth generated by the cannabis trade. The road reaches its highest level at Bab Besen (1600m) where the landscape is covered in magnificent cedar forests.Read More
Abd el Krim and the Republic of the Rif
Abd el Krim and the Republic of the Rif
Until the establishment of the Spanish Protectorate in 1912, the tribes of the Rif existed outside government control. They were subdued temporarily by harkas, the burning raids with which sultans asserted their authority, and for a longer period under Moulay Ismail; but for the most part, bore out their own name of Imazighen, or "Free Ones".
Closed to outside influence, the tribes developed an isolated and self-contained way of life. The Riffian soil, stony and infertile, produced constant problems with food supplies, and it was only through a complex system of alliances (liffs) that outright wars were avoided. Unique in Morocco, the Riffian villages are scattered communities, their houses hedged and set apart, and where each family maintained a pillbox tower to spy on and fight off enemies. They were different, too, in their religion: the salat, the prayers said five times daily – one of the central tenets of Islam – was not observed. Djinns, supernatural fire spirits, were widely accredited, and great reliance was placed on the intercession of local marabouts.
It was an unlikely ground for significant and organized rebellion, yet for over five years (1921–27) the tribes forced the Spanish to withdraw from the mountains. Several times they defeated whole Spanish armies; first and most memorably at Annoual in 1921. It was only through the intervention of France, and the joint commitment of nearly half a million troops, that the Europeans won eventual victory.
In the intervening years, Abd el Krim el Khattabi, the leader of the revolt, was able to declare a Republic of the Rif and to establish much of the apparatus of a modern state. Well educated, and confident of the Rif's mineral reserves, he and his brother, Mohammed, manipulated the liff system to forge an extraordinary unity among the tribes. Impressively, the brothers managed to impose a series of social reforms – including the destruction of family pillboxes and the banning of kif – which allowed the operation of a fairly broad administrative system. It was the first nationalist movement in colonial North Africa, and although the Spanish were ready to quit the zone in 1925, it was politically impossible for the French to allow that. Defeat for the Riffians – and the capture of Abd el Krim at Targuist – brought a virtual halt to social progress and reform. The Spanish took over the administration en bloc but there was no road-building programme nor any of the other "civilizing benefits" introduced in the French zone. Many of the Riffian warriors were recruited into Spain's own armies, allowing General Franco to build up a power base in Morocco. It was with Riffian troops that he invaded Andalusia in 1936, and it was probably their contribution that ensured the Fascist victory in the Spanish Civil War.
When, in April 1957, the Spanish finally surrendered their protectorate, the Berbers of the former Spanish zone found themselves largely excluded from government. Administrators were imposed on them from Fez and Casablanca, and in October 1958, the Rif's most important tribe, the Beni Urriaguel, rose in open rebellion. The mutiny was soon put down, but necessitated the landing at Al Hoceima of then Crown Prince Hassan and some two-thirds of the Moroccan army.
The Rif is still perhaps the most unstable part of Morocco, remaining conscious of its under-representation in government and its historical underdevelopment. However, King Mohammed VI seems sympathetic to this situation and over the past decade the region has witnessed substantial school-building programmes, improved road, air and ferry accessibility, large agricultural projects in the plains south of Nador and Al Hoceima, and continues to see an increase in tourism development along its coast.
Kif in Morocco
Kif in Morocco
Although many of the Riffian tribes in the mountains had always smoked kif, it was the Spanish who really encouraged its cultivation – probably as an effort to keep the peace. This situation was apparently accepted when Mohammed V came to power, though the reasons for his acceptance of the status quo aren't obvious. There is a story, probably apocryphal, that when he visited Ketama in 1957, he accepted a bouquet of cannabis as a symbolic gift.
In the early 1970s the Rif became the centre of a significant drug industry, exporting to Europe and America. This sudden growth was accounted for by the introduction, by an American dealer, of techniques for producing hash resin. Overnight, the Riffians had access to a compact and easily exportable product, as well as a burgeoning world market for dope. Inevitably, big business was quick to follow and to this day Morocco is reckoned to be the world's leading producer of cannabis, supplying the vast majority of Europe's demand, and with well over a million people said to depend on the crop for their existence, providing the economic base for much of the country's north. The government, with help from EU and US grants, has tried to reduce cultivation – a project near Rafsaï has replaced cannabis with 600,000 olive trees, for example – and the authorities claim that cultivation has decreased by almost thirty percent over the past decade. However, these figures are estimations gleaned from satellite photographs and are reckoned by European experts to be highly dubious. While the government's stated aim to eradicate cannabis cultivation by 2008 clearly failed, there has recently been a steady increase in the number of police-supervised clearing of crops, many of them well publicized to no doubt please Morocco's European neighbours. The bare fact remains, however, that farmers earn immeasurably more from cannabis than they would from growing legal crops.
Some (non-government) experts are saying that the eradication cause is a lost one, and believe it's better to encourage farmers to rotate cannabis with other crops to avoid ruining their land with overuse of chemical fertilizers – whatever European hippies might like to think, cannabis grown in the Rif is anything but "organic" – rather than waste resources on trying to stop the industry altogether.
It's worth noting here that Moroccan law forbids the sale, purchase and possession of cannabis. These laws are enforced on occasion with some vigour, so don't be seduced by the locals: police roadblocks are frequent, informers common. Cannabis in the Rif is obviously big business and potentially dangerous for casual visitors to get mixed up in.

Respiratory virus cases up in Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Health officials said cases of the potentially life-threatening respiratory syncytial virus have risen 40 percent in Arizona this season when compared to the same period a year earlier.
According to the Arizona Daily Star, 70 cases have been reported statewide as of Nov. 24 and that the majority of cases were reported in Maricopa, Navajo and Pinal counties.
Health officials said it's difficult to say whether this season will be any different from others.
The virus typically peaks in February.
Most of the cases are in children under the age of 5.
While most children are infected with the virus by their second birthdays, only a small percentage develops severe disease.

text: Duluth, MN (KDAL) - One of the 11 people who walked away without serious injury after the planes they riding in collided in mid-air says the ordeal was "surreal", adding that she does expect to go skydiving again. Sarah Perrine tells KDAL News, Saturday was like any other day when she and 10 others ventured out for a day of skydiving. That evening as she was preparing to make another of her more than 400 jumps she says she saw her plane approach and collide with the lead plane. In the collision of the Cesna's, Perrine's hand became lodged between the wings of the aircraft, which is where the fuel is stored. She recalls seeing the explosion and feeling the heat against her hand. Upon coming loose she says in free-fall she attempted to track away from debris. Now Perrine and her fellow skydivers are in New York City and will appear this morning on N-B-C's 'Today' Show. They will also tell their stories on the program 'Dateline'.

Oof, a blog. That's new! Usually, I'm being watched…which is far creepier than being read, I suppose. Suddenly, I understand the phrase "She's like an open book" a whole lot better! Although, this isn't a book…it's a blog but "She's like an open Safari window" doesn't have much of a ring to it, does it? I wonder if you're reading this in my voice? Sorry, the novelty will wear off soon! I promise!
Why are you writing a blog?, I hear you ask! (I didn't really hear you ask. I'm just pretending I did so I have an excuse to tell you! I haven't bugged your house, honest!) I am writing a blog because as I've grown up, my personal strengths in life have become very clear to me. That happens to everyone, I suppose. As time drags on, the practice people put in to certain areas starts to pay off. All those piano lessons start showing in your playing. All that singing you did in the bath as a child lands you a job on the big stage in London or Broadway. All those cakes you made for friends at University, that everyone told you you'd be a fatty for, turned into a thriving business. (and those few extra pounds you put on was so not from the cakes…) Everyone learns what they're good at and then uses it to their advantage, to make a living. Me? Singing is my thing. I am good at other things too though, like drawing and making videos but nothing exceeds my singing. That's not to say i'm the best in the world at it, this blog isn't just a vehicle for me to brag but out of all the things I am able to do well, I do singing the best.
But whilst singing is a passion of mine, so is writing. As a kid I used to make up stories and tell them to my friends and more importantly my younger cousin, who believed most of what I told her. I vividly remember playing in the garden with her and hearing a plane go overhead so, I spouted some story about how flesh eating Aliens were due to land on Earth and that noise we just heard was one of their spaceships. Clearly, telling fibs isn't equivalent to writing a blog or a novel but everyone started somewhere!
As I grew up and went to school, I spent the lessons I hated, like Spanish and Maths, writing stories into my rough exercise book. Most of them being soppy romances about the boys I fancied but let's not get too caught up on that… My English teacher tolerated my annoying enthusiasm for creative writing and read chapter after chapter of the crap that I wrote and submitted to her for marking…yes, marking. I actually wanted a grade for everything I plonked on her desk every Monday morning. Could I have been more Hermione Granger? Apparently so because not only did I do more homework than necessary but I also used to hide in the library to get out of going to lunch with my friends so I could carry on writing. I was such a cliché. Are you cringing? I am.
I always said I wanted to write a book but I never saw writing as a career. Just something I would do in my spare time as a delightful hobby on the side. Little did I know, the job I took on when I was 16, the job I left school for, meant that writing would be pushed aside for a long while. I was singing and I was happy but there was an itch I got when I read a book that said "You could do this too, y'know?" and it wouldn't go away until I was bashing away on my keyboard again.
My schedule for the next year is going to be crazy and I'm pretty sure that writing a whole, big, proper book with more than 500 words is off the cards but that doesn't mean I can't write at all. The main reason I'm starting this blog is because I went to an all girls private school, akin to St Trinians, for five years and it's left me with a head full of stories that are dying to be let out. They've been rattling their cages for a long while and I've had enough of the noise and it's time to unleash the beasts. Not only that but those school years also well equipped me with a lot of advice that I'd love to share with you all. Every day, I'm inundated with tweets, tumblr submissions, comments and letters from girls and sometimes guys, asking me advice of all varieties. Friends that have betrayed them, boys that have dumped them, girls that have cheated, exams that are stressing them out, peer pressure, bullying, smoking, self harming, parents, homework and the list goes on. Now, I'm not an Agony Aunt. I'm not pretending I can solve all of the woes that accompany being a teenager but, like I've always said, I can be a sisterly figure. A shoulder to cry on and a friendly helping hand. I'll listen to you and I'll respond in the only way I know how in the hopes that it comforts a few of you and at the very least, you enjoy the stories whether you take anything from them or not.
From now on you'll get an article from me every Sunday. It'll be a story from my school years that comes with some kind of cheesy moral or it'll be a response to a question one of you has asked that I've had experience in myself. It won't all be soppy, I promise. At times I'm even hoping I'll bring myself to be funny. Imagine that! We'll see. Don't get your hopes up.
So, here. For anyone who has felt out of place, forgotten, hurt, heartbroken, pushed over, walked on, confused, lost, out of fashion, off trend or is perfectly happy and just wants a little bit of knowledge from someone who's been there, done that and got the hawaiian shorts (…you'll see why, soon!)…here's all I know now about knowing nothing then.

Police in Australia have finally worked out how to charge two Australian Defence Force Academy cadets at the center of the 'Skype sex scandal'. At the end of last week, the two were charged with "using a carriage service to cause offence" for their alleged role in broadcasting a fellow female cadet engaging in consensual sex. …
the military charge will be...
bringing the army/air force/Navy into disrepute.
not sure which branch of the se3rvice they are in however they all have the same rulebook really.
in the UK it's Section 69C of the Army Act.
they will probably get their asses booted out.
"Things which are conducted privately may be appropriate, but they are not appropriate if they are conducted in public, including through the use of social media.""
Are we supposed to understand by this that it would've been fine to do it the old-fashioned, non-social-media based way - film yourself having sex with someone without their knowledge or behaviour, then mail copies of the video to all your mates?
I think that would count as "social media"; it's social and it uses media! The mechanics - whether it was Skype, a live video feed, a hole in the wall, a T3 line or dial-up - aren't really the issue. I was in Australia when this broke and there was discussion in the papers about whether the concealed camera invalidated the consent and this should be charged as rape, but I left before I heard any more.

White Rose Discussion Question: What advice would you have given Edward to help decrease "the pull he had to kill Bella" Especially when he had been away from her for a while?
Extra Credit Introduction: As she listens to Edward playing the beautiful piano concherto "Bella's melody," (Knowing that he had composed it out of his love for her) she starts crying.
Edward then placed a finger on her cheek, collected one of her tears, and then "lightening fast" tasted it.
Extra Credit question: WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
Your friend, Doc B
If you enjoy "White Rose Discussions" the last 50 can be found at: http://thetwilightsaga.com/group/theofficialtwilightbookdiscussion/...
Views: 222
Dear Fran,
You make a great point. Edward showed amazine strength in the class room. Bella later said (after they had grown very close) "You could never hurt me. Do you think that, that was possable and that, that was true from the start?
I think that he was curious about the tear. To me he took a big risk, human tears are similar to blood in so many ways.. But he got away with it. So good for him.
Dear Change of Heart:
Dear Doc,
Ones that Edward would feel comfortable wearing to school as either an undershirt or a top shirt. Then I would have Bella keep all of them. And I would have had her wear them as tops for her pajamas.
After she had worn them I would have her put them in a sealed plastic bag, and give to Edward to wear during the day. That way he would be surrounded in her sent 24 hours a day. Which would constantly be de-sensitizing him. Then he could clean them and return them to Bella. The problem for Bella (I think) would be that since she adores his sent so much. Would she want him to wash them, or would she want to wear them herself? (problems problems).
When we sleep we don't perspire very much so consequently the shirts would be relatively clean.
Inquiring minds need to know!!
