Last week, news broke that China is sending troops to South Sudan to protect its oil interests in the troubled region. The troops will join the UN's peacekeeping force in the area later this year. The original Wall Street Journal article notes that 'while Beijing's troops will operate under UN command, their posting to South Sudan marks a sharp escalation of China's efforts to ensure the safety of its workers and assets in Africa and guarantee a steady flow of energy for domestic consumption'. It also marks China's first commitment to send a battalion to a UN peacekeeping force, though they have contributed smaller numbers of peacekeepers to other missions.
The UN mission in South Sudan is backed by a Security Council mandate which permits peacekeepers to protect civilians in South Sudan's now nine-month long civil war, which has seen thousands of casualties and over a million people displaced. It has also shut down a third of the country's oil production. The UN mission's mandate allows it to use "all necessary means" to protect civilians in physical danger, including civilians at oil installations. Rebels have been kidnapping Chinese oil workers during the unrest and some have already been evacuated. Reuters published a response from Joe Contreras, UN spokesperson for the mission in South Sudan, who confirmed that under the mandate peacekeepers will be protecting 'civilian oil industry workers' but not oil industry installations, including 'the refinery or pipeline or storage tanks'.
Reuters also note China's unusually active diplomatic role in the conflict: 'Chinese officials have been in regular contact with Western diplomats to help African mediators push for a halt to fighting in the country. China has also pushed rival factions loyal to President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar to talk'. China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), one of China's 'big three' state-owned energy companies, has big investments in South Sudan – both in oil fields and a 1000-mile long oil pipeline to the coast.
Military interventions to protect foreign energy supplies are hardly new, and the role of energy in foreign policy is well-documented, as are concerns over China's international energy policy. However, these troops mark a big change both in China's behaviour internationally and its approach to energy security. China's international energy policy or expansion has so far been limited largely to investments in actual energy deposits, such as oil fields, or infrastructure. While the current mission is only mandated to protect civilians and workers rather than oil fields or infrastructure, it marks China's biggest international military secondment in recent years – and is hardly unrelated to the country's significant economic interests in the area.
China's growing energy demand is well-established, and energy has consistently been considered an issue of national security in recent years. However, this marks China's first (relatively) large military engagement in an area where it has significant energy interests. China has so far released very little information about the mission, but is stressing that the goal of the mission is strictly to fulfil the mandate of the Security Council, ultimately to maintain peace and security in the area.
It's difficult know how much impact this will have on Chinese policy in the longer term, but it is definitely one to watch – especially given China's increasing international energy investments in volatile regions. It may indicate a further shift in Chinese perceptions of energy security, towards viewing energy as a military security issue. If it sets a precedent for Chinese intervention to defend its energy interests abroad we're likely to see much more focus on this in the future.

Brooklyn femcee Lil Kim recently divulged on which of her hit singles she favors, and mentioned that her 2003 chart-topping "Magic Stick," 50 Cent duet makes the cut.
Asking her 97,000 Twitter followers to name their favorite Kim songs, the rapper revealed her own personal choices.
"What's your #FavoriteLilKimSong ?," Kim tweeted January 7.
"I have a lot of my #FavoriteLilKimSong but I love Lighters up, Magic stick w/ @50cent , can u hear me now w/ @missyelliott, & Benjamins"
"#NP #favoritelilkimsong - single black female =)" (Lil Kim's Twitter)
Last month, Kim said she was making new music alongside 50 Cent.
"That's my baby man. Like, 50, I've always been a fan of his, but I'm a big fan all over again. He is 'bout to... he is getting ready... it's gonna be crazy, that's all I got to say. I'm loving his new stuff. The stuff we working on together is gonna be crazy... This time around it's not gonna be just one song. It's gonna be a whole movie behind it, so I'm excited about this project." (Hot 97)
Last September, photos of 50 and Kim in the studio landed online.
The "Magic Stick" team reunites, as 50 Cent lays down new songs, and tweets that he felt an attraction to Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s finest. The G-Unit Records head tweeted photographs of him in the studio with the likes of former label-mate Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz and a reunion with Lil' Kim. Kim and 50 had recorded 2003's hit single "Magic Stick," which appeared on the former Junior M.A.F.I.A. member's La Bella Mafia album. After disputes with the song, the two began to disagree, a dispute that reportedly halted video plans. The rapper soon tweeted that he felt attracted to the veteran rapper rumored to be signing with Roc Nation. (Hip Hop DX)
In mid-2010, Kim talked about her legacy in hip-hop and remaining relevant.
"I'm constantly growing, my album came out in '97 but I started doing music in the early '90s. One reason that I'm still here and I'm still relevant to this day - probably even more relevant than a lot of new people who come into the industry - is because I know how to reinvent myself, I know how to change with the times. I think that, no matter who you are these days - you could be young, you could be old, you could be new, you could be an artist that's been in the industry for a minute - I think it's all about a hot record these days, it's different. I think that's the only difference I could point out - you know, you could have a hot song back in the day but it may not break through. But now if you have a hot song - it doesn't have to have a lot of thought behind it, it doesn't have to be a deep record, you don't even have to be very talented as long as you come up with something that's catchy and, you know, something that is now." (The Vine)

'Serial' Subject Will Be Focus of HBO Docuseries 'The Case Against Adnan Syed'
On Wednesday, HBO and Sky announced the docuseries The Case Against Adnan Syed — a reexamination of a now well-known murder case in Baltimore, Maryland.
In 2014, This American Life producer and journalist Sarah Koenig walked listeners through the 1999 murder of 18-year-old Hae Min Lee and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed (who maintains his innocence) in the wildly popular podcast Serial.
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg is directing the four-hour documentary series, and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are writing an original score. Working Title TV and Instinct Productions are producing the series.
"The Case Against Adnan Syed will offer a cinematic look at the life and 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee and conviction of Adnan Syed, from the genesis of their high school relationship, to the original police investigation and trial, through to the current day, when Syed faces a new trial after serving 18 years in jail," according to a release from HBO and Sky.
For those who were consumed with this story, HBO and Sky said the series will include "ground-breaking revelations that challenge the state's case."
Since the airing of Serial, Syed's conviction has been vacated, and he was granted a new trial.
A release date for 'The Case Against Adnan Syed' has not been announced.

Marshfield, Massachusetts
SEPTEMBER 2012 Volume 19, No. 8
A Message from the Ventress Library Board of Trustees
The Trustees would like to keep the Marshfield community abreast of ongoing projects and plans for improvements for the library. We will give a quarterly update on our progress to keep the community informed of some of the behind-the-scenes efforts taking place to offer Marshfield the very best library we can.
Recently you were informed of the Beautification Project to improve the grounds of the library. The goal of this project is to clean the walkways, building exterior and landscape of the library. We hope this will set a warm and inviting atmosphere to entice more patrons to spend time at the library. With the playground and skate park so close, including time at the library can be a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
We are diligently working on ideas to improve the children and teen areas of the library. We recognize these areas are small, dark and inefficient to serve the needs of the community, but with continued effort and support of the community we hope to improve these areas to the best of our abilities.
In a collaborative effort with the Library Director, Ellen Riboldi, we will continue to offer programs to expand the knowledge and interest of patrons of all ages at the library.
We encourage the community to share their input as we work together to bring you the very best library we can. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with comments and/or suggestions.

Changing Attitude and Affective Learning Using Persuasion
Spent, a social action game aimed at showing people that homelessness is about circumstances and not character was chosen as an example of a persuasive game for a study last year. 5139 students in grades 7-12 took part across 4 states and 200 schools to test whether the persuasive mechanics of a social impact game were effective in increasing attitude and affective learning toward the subject of homelessness.

Maddie is one of our daycare dogs, that LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to chase and fetch the ball (did I mention that she LOVES to do it?). Anyway, she can spot a ball 30 feet away and will just stare at it until you throw it. She loves to run and chase it, but she is also great about sharing the ball with other dogs. Maddie is really sweet with all of the dogs in the room!
Today we spent the day getting ready for the Thanksgiving rush, making sure everything is in place and ready to go. All of our suites and luxury suites are full and all the dogs will have a great time. I am excited to spend "turkey day" with the dogs!
Have a good night.

Wind-up Knight 2
I first came across Wind-up Knight on the OUYA. It was one of the few
games on the OUYA that I actually liked. I am so happy to see Wind-up
Knight 2 appear on the Wii U. The unable to stop running levels mixed
with the quirky humor helps Wind-up Knight 2 rise above so many of the
endless runners out there. Please note Wind-up Knight 2 is not an
endless runner since each level has an end to it.
We take Sir Sprint through all of these levels in Wind-up Knight 2. At the start of each level there is some pretend social networking from a variety of characters. There are forty levels in Wind-up Knight 2 that can be played four different ways. Each way you complete earns you a crest. These are needed to unlock certain levels along the way. There is also a tournament mode in Wind-up Knight 2.
There are numerous secrets in Wind-up Knight 2 as well as better equipment to purchase. The player's clockwork knight receives a variety of interesting messages while playing through levels in Wind-up Knight 2. I found humor in almost all of them. Please note some of the humor can be a bit on the crude side. We also use our sword to dispose of a variety of creatures in Wind-up Knight 2. The ESRB was not capable of finding any words to describe this fantasy/cartoon violence.
Another element in Wind-up Knight 2 that makes it unique is your wind up power. Players will run out of wind up power while playing Wind-up Knight 2 on the Wii U. So wind up items need to be collected in the level to recharge it. What happens if you don't? Your character will explode. To earn a 'S' rating in any level in Wind-up Knight 2 you need to collect all the coins and the gnome hat. Those hats can be very hard to collect in some levels.
Wind-up Knight 2 is a downloadable only Wii U game that clocks in just over one gig. Wind-up Knight 2 would make a great game to be a part of the indie physical copy program we have discussed here at Family Friendly Gaming. I hope to see physical copies of Wind-up Knight 2 in the near future. I should warn you that Wind-up Knight 2 gets hard after the ninth level. You have to know the controls and get good at swapping them quickly.

5 Random Things Sunday
I went over to Veronique's a couple of weekends ago, she had kindly volunteered to show me some quilting skills. V is an amazing teacher and she gave me the inspiration and confidence needed to start making the quilt I wanted to make for the growing bean. And I think it's going really well...
I actually have the backing and batting together now, it's just the fun of quilting it all, maybe this afternoon.
I used the practice square (wasn't quite happy with one of the fabrics in the first one) to make a little pin cushion, something very necessary with those funny little quilting pins.
A few weeks ago the Spiders had some visitors, Jess and Casey (AKA Mama and Papa Rav), came along with Maya and the very amusing Steve, it was fun spending a few hours with them, although I was sad not to join them for drinks, Jess and Casey made up for it with these adorable gifts.
How cute is that Bob pin? I believe that the pins, stickers and other good stuff will (most likely) be available in a soon-to-be Ravelry store.
I'm happy to find different ways to do my bit for the environment. So when I saw this ingenious swiffer cover pattern in Sassy's Rav queue yesterday, I immediately grabbed some dish cotton and knit one up last night while watching junk telly.
It's got to beat those crappy throw-away swiffer cloths, and it's reusable! I can't wait to try it out - well, actually I lie about that part, but I hope it works nearly as well as being on my hands and knees with a sponge.
I'm a little into crochet now too. I started a blanket this week. It's the Sunset blanket (ravelry), and I think it's going to be adorable in chocolate brown and rosy pink.

(more) News and Knitting
The next step with beany baby was to find out whether the predominant color in my knitting (and other stuff) would be:
Now the rather grumpy technician was quite adamant that we will be focusing on....
Nah, I'll wait until the end of the post before I tell ya (of course it's just a simple matter of scrolling to the bottom to find out).
So in practically one evening I used up the handspun I'd made a little while back, with it I made Ysolda's Urchin [rav link for details].
I haven't worn the hat outside among the "real" people yet, I don't feel I have the guts, and am not sure about me in a beret, but I'm happy with the pattern itself, the simplicity of the short-rows and the loveliness of garter stitch.
Mr B got his wish last week, a Munkee
While my embroidery skills are a little scant, at least you get the idea, and just in time for the opener too. Details about this Munkee are here [more rav].
Oh yeah, and about the sex:
The tech was very sure we are going to have a GIRL!! Exciting stuff.

USS Cole trial at Guantánamo won't start until at least February
An Army judge has reset the start of the USS Cole terror trial for next year, a delay attributed to the prosecutor's effort to shield details of the CIA's secret detention program from the alleged terrorist's lawyers.
The judge, Army Col. James L. Pohl, had set the perhaps nine-month death-penalty trial of Saudi prisoner Abd al Rahim al Nashiri to start in December. But a recently unsealed scheduling order switched the trial date to Feb. 9.
At issue is the judge's April 14 order that the U.S. government is to disclose, in classified fashion, precise details — names, dates, places — of the secret interrogation and detention of Nashiri between his 2002 capture in Dubai and arrival at this remote U.S. Navy base four years later.
The Saudi said to be the mastermind of al-Qaida's 2000 suicide bombing of the warship was waterboarded by the CIA and subjected to a mock execution, interrogation techniques that his lawyers call torture.
Prosecutors argue that Pohl doesn't have the authority to order such sweeping government disclosure. Congress created a system of shielding that information from defense teams, they argue, even attorneys with top secret security clearances.
Pohl is expected to hear arguments on the question this week.
It is unclear how much of the motion for reconsideration will take place in open court. The judge did say in his scheduling order, dated May 9, that the prosecution has already disclosed some of the information covered by his order. Meantime, he called postponement of the trial date until next year "in the interest of justice."
It's also unclear whether the trial could actually start in February. Attorneys and the judge have characterized the trial dates as "a mark on the wall" — more theoretical — as they argue about what laws apply at the court and jury selection of U.S. military officers brought in from bases across the globe.
The chief prosecutor, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, released a statement on the eve of Wednesday's hearing that said, despite the decision to move the trial date "to February of next year, significant work remains underway."
The general noted that, before this week's session, the judge had held four closed hearings — and estimated that 5 percent of the case has been closed, with updates issued through redacted transcripts.
The prosecution has argued that if Pohl doesn't rescind his order and settle for summaries of evidence instead, it might appeal to a Pentagon panel, the U.S. Court of Military Commissions Review.
Meantime, it's also unclear whether the CIA would comply with the order — and, if so, how long that might take.
Nashiri trial participants arrived at this remote base Tuesday for a three-day hearing designed to set conditions for the eventual trial.
One legal motion on this week's agenda is a bid by defense attorneys to have the judge disclose any contacts he's had with the CIA or victims of the attack on the USS Cole off Yemen on Oct. 12, 2000. Seventeen American sailors were killed and dozens more were injured in al-Qaida's suicide bombing of the warship, and parents of the slain sailors routinely attend the hearings as guests of the prosecution.
Another motion asks the judge to order the government to give defense attorneys a copy of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's so-called "Torture Report," a massive, classified examination of the CIA's secret interrogation program — a portion of which the agency is currently reviewing for declassification at the request of the White House.
Nashiri's defense attorneys want the whole thing.

Making Review Games
Small groups or teams of students can create review games for other students in the class to use a review tool. During the class time
that students use to make the game, they are reviewing too. The games they create are a fun review for others in the class.
Materials Needed: Poster board, markers, construction paper, crossword program or use of Internet, and/or game pieces
Preparation: Students should have review sheets or unit of study material from which they can make their questions.
It is best if this activity is graded by a rubric. Criteria for the rubric could be accurate content; game can be played with written directions; ease of use (game is not too complicated to play); teamwork; creativity and neatness. Make sure to tell how many game cards or questions each team needs to create to receive a certain score (Tip: 25 is great).
Steps for Lesson
Step 1 — Tell students that they will be creating review games for a unit of study. The review games will be graded by the students who play the games and by the teacher using the rubric.
Break Students into Small Groups
Step 2 — Break students into teams or small groups of two or three students. For ideas of how to break students into groups, see Part 1 of the lessons in this series.
Create Review Games
Step 3 — Give students ideas of the types of games that they can create. There are crossword makers on the Internet. Or, students can create board games and use favorite games as an inspiration.
Make Clear to Students:
- Students must use cards with questions over the material to move the game pieces forward.
- The directions are clear enough that students can play the game without asking the game maker questions.
- The game is not too complicated. Remind them to keep it simple.
Step 4 — Devote at least two-to-three class periods to making these games.
Step 5 — Devote one class period so that teams can "play" another team's game. Each team should then assess the game it played using the rubric. The final grade should come from the teacher after the teacher has consulted with the all of the teams.
This is a fun way to review. Now, the students should be ready to take a unit exam or test.

3 Equations solver is much useful for students who want to check their answers of a system of three simultaneous equations which they have solved.
Apart from the regular calculator, people who study math are in need of 3 equations solver solver. Because, when people work out lengthy problems, they may not have time to solve the system of three equations. At that time, solving the system of simultaneous equations would be an additional burden for them in solving lengthy math problems. To reduce the burden of those people, we have provided online 3 equations solver.
When people do preparation of solving word problems on simultaneous equations, they may have to spend time to get idea on "How to solve". In this situation, they would not like to spend time to do solving simultaneous equations. And also they would not be able to use the regular calculators to solve the system of simultaneous equations. By using this online solver, students will find much time to get idea of solving the word problems.
School students have the topic "solving system of linear equations" in math in their 9th grade or 10th grade. They are given a system of linear equations to solve. They solve the given system of linear equations but they are not sure whether the answer they got is correct or incorrect. At that time, they can check the answer they have received is correct or incorrect using this solver.
Apart from the advantages explained above, students can check the answers which they have received when they solved the same problems using different methods like, Cramer's rule, Gauss Jordan Elimination etc.
In a question, if it is directed that the system of equations to be solved in a particular method, student must solve the given system of simultaneous equations only in that method. For example, if the questions says,"Solve the system of linear equations using Cramer's rule", student must solve the given system of equations only using the Cramer's rule as directed in the question. When students solve a system of equations using Cramer's rule, they have to find the value delta, delta x, delta y, delta z. Then they have to use Cramer's rule to find the value of three unknowns namely x, y and z. Even after having solved the problem, the students would not be sure whether the answer they have received is correct or incorrect. At that time they can use this equation solver to check their answers.
3 EQUATIONS SOLVEREnter the coefficients of "x", "y" and "z" in the boxes given below. Then press the button "calculate" to solve for "x","y" and "z".

Despite being the firstborn son of Kyobo Life founder Shin Yong-ho, he never wanted to be a businessman. He chose to be a doctor, until one day, his father called.
This week, The Super Rich team introduces the life and success stories of three doctor-turned-entrepreneurs from the medical school of the nation's top Seoul National University. We start with Shin, the ninth richest in Korea on the Super Rich list.
Shin Chang-jae, Kyobo Life
In 1996, Shin Chang-jae, then a 44-year-old obstetrician and Seoul National University professor, was faced with a difficult decision.
His father's health was deteriorating and someone had to take over the business. His father strongly wanted him to do so.
Shin decided to quit his job as a doctor and joined Kyobo Life as vice chairman. In 2000, he took the helm of Kyobo Life as chairman.
It was a tough time to be a CEO. Three years after the Asian Financial Crisis, numerous companies had gone bankrupt or were on the verge of it.
Kyobo was no exception. It suffered a loss of 245 billion won ($224 million) on massive cancellations of insurance policies.
The junior Shin set out to fix the sinking company. Through painful restructuring measures, he trimmed down its bloated sales force, letting go 20 of 25 company directors, including two chief executives appointed by his father.
On the other hand, he also enhanced management efficiency and risk management, and sought to make the company's corporate culture more open, flexible and performance-centered.
To promote such a culture, Shin did not hesitate to carry out activities such as doing a stand-up comedy to thank loyal customers and leading a choir for employees.
Shin holds 33.78 percent of shares in the unlisted Kyobo Life. His stock wealth is estimated at 2.5 trillion won.
Park Yong-hyun, Doosan Group
Park Yong-hyun is another surgeon-turned-businessman. Prior to his three-year long chairmanship of Doosan Group from 2009 to 2012, Park served as a surgeon and head of Seoul National University Hospital.
Born as the fourth son of Doosan Group founder Park Doo-byung, the junior Park appeared at first to be far behind in the succession race, but he had entrepreneurship in his blood.
During his 1998-2004 stint as the hospital's chief, Park adopted a new personnel management system to ensure that doctors earn positions based on their performance. He also pushed to set up a medical center in Seoul's rich Gangnam area and a hospital branch in Bundang, just south of Seoul, to increase hospital profits.
He joined Doosan in 2005 as head of the group's philanthropic foundation and later moved to Doosan Engineering & Construction as chairman in 2007.
He was the Doosan Group chairman from 2009 to 2012.
As Doosan head, Park polished the group to take a lead in its core businesses, rather than recklessly expanding its business scope.
In under 100 days after becoming chairman, he sold off four subsidiaries and acquired a couple of firms to hold key technology in the group's core business of power generation.
His equity holdings in Doosan Group companies are estimated at 48 billion won, according to FnGuide, a financial information provider.
Ahn Cheol-soo, Ahn Lab
Before running for the nation's top job in the 2012 presidential election as a maverick candidate, Ahn Cheol-soo was a famous doctor-turned-entrepreneur.
He set up Korea's first computer virus vaccine provider Ahn Lab in 1995. Prior to that, Ahn was a professor at Danguk University in Seoul.
In 2009, an interview with Ahn about his life and political philosophy aired on TV, fascinating Koreans who were fed up with corrupt, traditional politicians. Amid the overwhelming popularity, he joined politics and jumped into the 2012 presidential race, only to later withdraw. He is now the chairman of the People's Party, the second largest opposition party here.
In 2012, he set up a charity foundation and donated half of his Ahn Lab shares to it.
Ahn currently holds 18.57 percent in shares of Ahn Lab, worth 151 billion won.

0001. She walks down the aisle, my eyes are with tears. I know this is the moment she's been waiting for all these years. I watch from afar, this thing I can't hide. The pain of being a bridesmaid when I was supposed to be the bride.
0002. My heart skipped a beat when I saw you again. The man of my dreams, that's what you are now and then. I was just about to tell the girl beside me that you're my life when suddenly, she told me, "I'm his wife."
0003. "I love you" doesn't really mean that I want you to be mine. In fact, it's another way of saying, "I'm happy to see you happy with someone new even if it's killing me." So I guess I love you.
0004. I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh. But I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry.
0005. Before, I asked God to give me someone special to love. I found you then lost you. I asked God why and He answered, "But my child, the one you asked for asked for somebody else."
0006. Maybe the gods were sleeping when I asked for you. Maybe the angels were somewhere else when I wished for you. Cause if they only heard me praying and wishing so hard, she wouldn't have you, I would.
0007. It's so easy to play with love, so easy to fool someone, so easy to make someone cry. But it's so hard if you're the one who's played with, fooled and the one who cried.
0008. It's hard not to love you, it's hard not to care and it's hard to live without you. But I have to try cause it's harder to bear the pain of knowing you don't feel the same.
0009. I've come to realize that destiny can hurt a person as much as it can bless then I found myself wondering why of all the people in the world I can fall in love with, I fell for someone who can never be mine.
0010. Sometimes it's hard to say no when you really mean yes, it's hard to close your eyes when you really want to see, it's hard to forget when you really can't and the hardest is to go when you really want to stay.
0011. Once in my life, I met someone whom I loved and cared for. I gave everything, I fought for him. But one thing I forgot to do is to ask if he wanted me to.
0012. It hurts to say goodbye to a person you love knowing that life won't be the same without him. But it's better to give up rather than to fight knowing that you're the only one fighting.
0013. I'm tormented, I'm crushed, I don't know what to do. I'm confused, I'm lost, I totally got no clue. I know I love you. Yeah, that's true. But when will you start loving me too?
0014. Sometimes I get so happy being with you that I just wanna hug you. But then I get scared that you will hug me back. And then it gets too damn hard when you decide it's already time to let go.
0015. Whoever said that death was the hardest part was wrong. Letting go and realizing I will never feel your arms around me again is even harder.
0016. I envy the one you love, the one whom you belong to. But I've thought much to realize how envious the one you love could get if only she had known that I am the one who can love you best.
0017. I wish you've never been so sweet, I wish you weren't too special, I wish you never became my world. The problem is you are. I wish I didn't know you and I wish I didn't love you. The problem is I do.
0018. I pretended to be deaf when I heard you. I pretended to be blind when I saw the two of you. I tried not to get hurt when I was supposed to. Cause when I saw you happy with someone else, I pretended that I was the one with you.
0019. What can she do that I can't do? What can she make you feel that I can't? Why can't you feel that way for me too? What does she have that I don't? Forget I asked. I already know. She has you.
0020. I'm through with sentimental quotes, I'm through with sad goodbyes, I'm through with all the pain he gave me. I just hope I'll be through with him so everything won't be a big lie.
0021. Don't say that I have forgotten cause I still haven't. As you can see, I'm here again in front of you, bringing you flowers like any lover would do. I like us to be together but you really must wait. For now I can only promise that I'll be by your grave.
0022. Sometimes I want to pinch myself to make sure that having you in my life ain't a dream. But I'm also afraid that if I pinch myself, I might wake up and realize that you're really just a dream.
0023. If I only knew you'd hurt me, I wouldn't have loved so deep. I would have saved my heart from breaking cause it's not for you to keep. If I only knew you'd fool me, I wouldn't have been so blind. I would have opened my eyes to reality and stopped your game in time.
0024. One day, love and friendship met. Love asked, "Why do you exist when I already exist?" Friendship smiled and said, "To put a smile where you leave tears."
0025. Some people love not really wishing to end up together. Some people leave not really willing to go. I love not expecting to be loved back. I leave not because I know I'll be followed. I love cause I love. I leave cause I let go.
0026. Do you wanna know the difference between the two of us? I trusted you that's why I held on. I loved you that's why I let you go. But you? You just left me without any valid reason.
0027. I broke somebody's heart today. I said I couldn't stay. I said I love somebody else and he let me have my way. I told him I couldn't love him back although he's sweet and true. I was being unfair to him cause I had been wishing he was you.
0028. Three words I wish to say, three words that might scare you away. Don't you know those three words describe who you are to me? But probably right now those three words that I wish to say are the same words you said to her.
0029. No more crying, I can't cry anymore. Don't take my hand this time, just go. And please don't look back cause I know if you do, I would come running back to you.
0030. I want to be able to hold your hand when I am hurting instead of having to hold someone else's because you are the one hurting me.
0031. Why do you have to make me fall when you're not going to catch me? It hurts that you didn't catch me the moment I fell and it hurts even more to see you catch someone else while I was falling.
0032. I know as long as you are happy, I can get through this. But it still kills me to see you with her. Not because she is perfect for you, not because she makes you smile, not because she is what you need but because she's my best friend.
0033. No matter how loud I laugh, I'm still not happy. No matter how hard I cry, the sadness inside grows. The more people love me, the more I feel empty. I just need you to love me for all the pain to go.
0034. He has the power to hurt me and I'm afraid if I let him know what I feel then that's exactly what he'll do. But even if he does hurt me, I'll find some reason to understand why. It's just that he can do no wrong in my eyes.
0035. I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm not afraid of disasters and I have no fear in death. But there's one thing I'm really afraid of. It's the time you'll stop loving me.
0036. Just when questions seemed endless, it suddenly became clear. You came not to love me but to teach me how to love. Then you walked away without any idea how much I've learned and how much it hurts.
0037. Sometimes I get so fed up that I just want to walk away from you. But what hurts me is that I know you're not going to follow.
0038. Why is it so easy to love and yet so hard to be loved back? Why should I feel such if destiny permits me not? Why do I have to fall if it's you I can't have? Why is there a you and me but never be an us?
0039. One night, someone noticed a star losing its usual bright glow and asked the star why. Then it answered, "I've grown tired and weak shining for someone whose glance has never been mine."
0040. You said you'll wait for me but you didn't. You said we'll be together but we weren't. You said you care but obviously, you don't. Now you say you don't love me. Well, guess what? I know.
0041. What we had was perfect, what we had was true. I loved you completely and so did you. But what we had is now over, it's all in the past. I just have to accept that some good things never last.
0042. I would have taken care of you. I would have loved being in your arms. I would have loved loving you back. All you had to do was ask and there could have been something we could call "us".
0043. It wasn't the way my heart ached when you told her you loved her. It was the way my heart broke for you when she told you she didn't want you that way. That was how I knew I loved you.
0044. You were sitting at one place. I sat beside you and asked what happened, you walked away. I was about to run after you but then I realized that we were sitting on my grave.
0045. When you love someone, you give everything without thinking twice, deny the truth, believe in lies, do crazy things that you can't explain and cry over things that hurt you but still stay and say, "I'm okay."
0046. I never thought I would dream about you. In my dream, you said you love me too. Now I wake up and find you. I want you to tell me those words all over again but what the heck? You just keep on waking me up.
0047. It's nice to know that you're sweet enough to say that you'd pick someone just like me to spend your life with. But it's just so painful to see that you're spending your life with someone who's just like me but not me.
0048. A guy said to a girl, "You're nice. The guy you love is lucky." Then after a while, he showed her a picture, "She's my girl." And the girl said, "You know what? She's luckier cause the guy I love loves her."
0049. The rain reminds me of you, how cold you are, how gloomy you make me feel, how many tears I've shed because of you, how much damage you've caused and how stupid I am for still needing you.
0050. Life is indeed unfair. There are times when I'd stare at the sky at night and wonder why you are my entire universe when I'm not even a little star in yours.
0051. I'm always pretending I'm happy when I couldn't even smile, keep on pretending I'm not hurt now that he's no longer mine. What would I do if he loves someone new? I'll just pretend I don't love him too.
0052. Just when I'm almost over you, you begin to show up again and make me feel special. Is this how you operate? For if it is, I hate you cause damn it! I'm falling for you all over again.
0053. I never thought this would happen, I really didn't know. But I guess it's better if you just let go. I'm really gonna miss you and everything you did for me. Cause as long as she owns you, this love could never be.
0054. I needed someone so I tried to talk to you but you were in a hurry. I tried to call you but you said you were busy. I wanted to tell you how I feel, to tell you I love you. Now you'll never know cause guess what? I've learned to let go.
0055. There are times that I'm about to give up cause there's no way I can make you mine. But why is it that every time I'm ready to let go, I end up falling for you all over again?
0056. How do I say goodbye to someone I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? Why do I miss someone who I was never with? And why do I love someone whose love was never mine?
0057. You've hurt me once, you've hurt me twice but all I did was shut my eyes. For in reality that everyone can see, I love you more than you love me.
0058. I can say I'm fine when you don't see me cry. I can say I can move on when I couldn't even try. I can say I'm happy when I just want to die. But I can't say I still love you when you said goodbye.
0059. If all is fair, why did you hurt me so? If all ends well, why did you have to go? If happily ever after is true then why am I here crying over you?
0060. Here I am, trying to make a fool out of myself, pretending I like someone new and showing everyone I don't care about you. But if you only know what I'm going through, this heart will always belong to you.
0061. Is it possible to cry without tears flowing? Is it possible to be hurt without feeling? Is it possible to be forgiven without pleading? Is it possible for you to love me without me hurting?
0062. Slowly, I broke down, tears fell from my eyes, my heart shattered into pieces, all the sweet memories played inside my mind. And like that I stayed while watching you walk out of my life.
0063. Sometimes the best way to say I love you is to hold his hand, give it to the one he loves, let go, pretend it's okay when deep inside, you're dying.
0064. People tell me to stop loving you in a dream world cause I'll never get what I want but they're wrong cause the only thing I want is you and to have you, well, dreams are the only things I can count on.
0065. Are you aware that my heaven is missing an angel? I wanna let you know that you're that angel. But no, I'm not taking you back cause maybe you're no longer happy in the heaven where we both used to be.
0066. Why is it that I'm always hurt by the one I love and always being loved by the people who shouldn't be loving me? The sad thing here is though I try to choose the one who loves me, my heart still longs for the one who hurts me.
0067. The day you broke my heart, I dropped a tear in the sea. I was lost and distorted, without you I can't be me. And when they find that tear, that single drop of pain, that's the one and only time this heart forgets your name.
0068. You always say you hate to see me hurt, you hate to see me cry. So all of those times you've hurt me, were you closing your eyes?
0069. I know I shouldn't care or wonder how you are. But I just can't hide the pain inside my broken heart. I'm fighting back emotions I've never fought before. Cause I'm not supposed to love you anymore.
0070. Don't look at me and say goodbye. Don't whisper words to make me cry. Just walk away if you have to go. You will break my heart but I promise I would never let you know.
0071. I hope I never met you so I wouldn't have fallen for you and I wouldn't have to struggle with my feelings cause I know it's impossible. Please tell me what to do. Should I just keep distance and try to forget you?
0072. For many times I said I wouldn't love you anymore yet every time I lay my eyes on you, my heart starts to state these silent words, "I'm still not over you."
0073. I said I didn't cry much when you went away. I told you I can move on and I will be okay. I said I was happy when you found someone new. The sad thing is you believed me though I didn't want you to.
0074. Sad reality: I love him but I've fallen for you. I can't leave him but I can't bear losing you. He gives me the world but you mean the world to me. Now should I cling to my past or should I let you pass?
0075. My angel told me that to prove my love for you, I should show it and I should say it. I told her I already did. She asked how. I answered with tears, "I let her go."
0076. Don't be surprised if one day I'll avoid you and be gone. It's not because you've done something wrong and I hate you but because I'm afraid to love and be hurt again by somebody who cant love me back.
0077. Sad: I've fallen in love so many times but love never gave me a chance to know how it feels to be loved back by the person I love so much.
0078. Why do I have to leave you now that I'm madly in love with you? Why do I have to say goodbye now that my everything is you? Why do I have to set you free now that all I need is you? And why must you love another when I am here loving you?
0079. You've broken my heart by making me fall and now I wish I never knew you at all. You've played me around as if I were some kind of game and now things will never be the same. But here I am, still as stupid as I can be, hoping and wishing that you will still love me.
0080. You promised to take care of me but you hurt me. You promised to give me joy but you brought me tears. You promised your love but you gave me pain. Me? I promised you nothing but I gave you my heart.
0081. I said I miss you. You said you miss me more. You said goodbye. I said, "Why too soon?" You said "I love you." I said, "So why do you have to go?" You said, "Cause my friend is in love with you."
0082. I feel like finally, it's over. It doesn't hurt anymore. Finally, I could smile again. But every once in a while, it comes back. I remember how I lost the only person I've ever loved and then I realize I still do.
0083. If time would come that I'd have to let you go, I'd let you believe that I fooled you. I know this would hurt but it would hurt more if you'll find out that I loved you but I couldn't fight for you.
0084. A stolen glance, he looked this way. It must be my chance, must be my day. In his eyes, a gentle gaze. He spoke words so soft and true, "Tell your friend I love her, will you?"
0085. You told me you love me but I don't wanna believe it. You asked me to believe you but I didn't. You know why? How can you tell me you love me if I saw a reflection of another girl in your eyes?
0086. It's sad when you want someone but you'd have to give up someone else to get them. Then when you've already done that, you find out that the one you gave up once also gave up everything for you.
0087. It's okay if you can't love me nor even think of me. I'm not asking you to. It's really okay for me if you can't cause you see? What I told you was "I love you" not "please love me too".
0088. Are you really insensitive or are you just playing stupid? Cause you're there wondering why I can't seem to look, why I'm keeping distance from you. Well, in case you haven't noticed, I'm falling in love with you.
0089. Fairy tales usually start with "once upon a time" and end with "and they lived happily ever after". But for us it's "they lived happily ever after once upon a time".
0090. Everyday, I walk towards you hoping that I'd somehow get to be with you for at least a moment. But it's hard for me to catch up when you're also trying to catch up with someone else.
0091. Teach me how to be strong before you go. Teach me how to believe in your lies. Teach me how to control my tears before I start to cry. Teach me how to make you mine before you say goodbye.
0092. I wonder why just when I learned to wait, it was when you never came. I wonder why just when I learned to laugh, it was when you made me cry. And I wonder why just when I've learned to love you, it was when you said goodbye.
0093. You think I'll cry? You think I'll breakdown? Damn, you're wrong! I knew your games before, I just played along. If you think I'm stupid, yup, you're right! I fell for a player with his game I couldn't fight.
0094. It's unfair to think so much of you when you're not missing me at all, to cry when you never shed a tear, to love when you say words that hurt my heart and to live when you breathe for someone else.
0095. He holds me when I start to cry, makes me smile with just his eyes. He shares my hopes, dreams, and fears. He wipes away all my tears. I love him without regret. I just haven't found him yet.
0096. You're there but not really. You're mine but not really. I never really had you so I never really lost you. I suppose I'll just be this someone wishfully thinking. I had you, you had me but then again not really.
0097. Ouch: I never really wanted to let go of you but you wanted to be free. I wanted to stay but you wanted me to go. I never gave up till you told me that all the time I was loving you, you were wishing me gone.
0098. How do you define love? Do you make people fall for you and feel a short damn moment of happiness? Then the next thing you do, dump them? If that's how you define love then I should say you've loved me quite well.
0099. If you only knew how much I wanted to hold your hand and make you stay, if you only knew how much I cried when you went away, if you only felt the pain I did then maybe you could've felt the love I hid.
0100. My friend once asked me if I do love you, I answered, "Yes." He asked me again, "Does he love you?" I sat down, looked at the stars, closed my eyes and said, "Wishes do come true, right?"

For a while I struggled with calling ATLANTA my home because I wasn't born here but ATL has been my home for over a decade now. I officially consider myself an ATLIEN. I have a love/hate relationship with this Neo-Southern hotbed. In my adulthood, I find that one of the biggest challenges I face with living here is finding aesthetically pleasing restaurants to eat at, while being accompanied by great cuisine. Easier said than done. Watershed is on my list of restaurants to dine at, especially on sunday because of the experience-- the live band, great affordable brunch menu, well lit space, and phenomenal customer service. "Watershed serves local, seasonal, soulful dishes inspired by Southern tradition and prepared with present day artistry."

I used to claim I didn't regret things. Maybe that was true when I said it, I don't know; I just know I regret plenty of things today.
For example I regret breaking up with J. I mean the fourth time. I don't regret the first, since I really had no choice that time. The second and third times were her doing, so I can hardly regret those. Although it's true that I drove her to it the third time, so if I wanted to regret that I could.
Similarly I could regret getting together the second time. Also the third. I could even regret getting together the fourth time, but what's the point? It's all too easy to say you should have known better given what happened.
Still, I should have known better. I mean about the fourth time. She called and said she wanted to get back together and do it right this time. She even said she loved me. It was only the second time she ever said that. The first time was during our third relationship, and that time she didn't actually say she loved me but that she had told her therapist she did. In response I said that her therapist knew better than to believe her. I regret that now. It was mean. All the mean things I ever said to her I regret.
Not that she ever actually loved me. In fact that was why I broke up with her the first time. It's also why she broke up with me the second. The third time was different: that time we broke up because I didn't love her.
Actually the third time may not count as a time at all, because all it was, was sex. Once a week we would have dinner, talk about our weeks, and fuck. To distinguish this from "going out" or "having a relationship" or "being together," we would say we had "an arrangement" – an arrangement she ended because it prevented her from going out with or having a relationship with or being together with anyone else.
She told me this over the phone. She also said that my comment about her therapist had hurt her.
The second time she said she loved me was when she called and said she wanted to get back together. That was how the fourth time began. In response I told her that I loved her too, which I now regret because it wasn't true.
Also, while having sex we would sometimes say we loved each other, but that was different because we were having sex. In other words, I don't regret it.
Here are all the things I regret:
- Saying mean things to her
- Telling her I loved her
- Breaking up with her the fourth time
Everything else I'm okay with.

Oatmeal is a nutritious breakfast, but it isn't a weight-loss miracle food. You'll still need to eat fewer calories than you burn to lose weight. The fiber oatmeal contains may help you control your hunger and eat less, however, making it easier to lose weight. All types of plain oats are similar in nutrient content and calories per serving, so you can choose the type that best suits your needs and desired serving size.
Oat Fiber and Weight Loss
When you eat foods containing fiber, such as oats, it can help increase feelings of fullness so you eat fewer calories throughout the day. For example, the beta-glucan fiber in oats absorbs water and swells in your stomach, increasing satiety. Some types of fiber found in oats may also slow the emptying of your stomach, causing this feeling of fullness to lasts even longer. Eating an extra 14 grams of fiber per day for 3 months may increase weight loss by about 4 pounds, according to a review article published in "Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety" in July 2012, which recommends getting at least 25 grams of fiber per day.
Steel-Cut Vs. Rolled Oats
Steel-cut oats are oat groats that have been chopped into pieces, while rolled oats, including quick and instant oats, are oats that have been steamed and rolled flat. Because steel cut oats are denser, a serving is 1/4 cup of dried steel-cut oats compared to 1/2 cup of rolled oats. Both servings weigh the same and contain approximately 150 calories, 3 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of sugar, 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. If you eat the same volume of steel-cut oats as rolled oats, you'll wind up eating a lot more calories, which wouldn't be good for your diet.
Flavored Vs. Plain Oats
Plain rolled oats, whether you choose regular, quick or instant, contain about 166 calories per cup of prepared oatmeal. Packaged flavored instant oats are a lot higher in calories due to the added sugar they contain. For example, cinnamon and spice instant oatmeal has 230 calories per cup and raisin spice instant oatmeal has about 211 calories per cup. While plain oats have just 0.6 gram of sugar per cup, flavored instant oatmeals have 15 to 20 grams of sugar per cup. When buying flavored oatmeal, look for brands with oats listed as the first ingredient, and choose the brand with the least sugar and sodium and the highest amount of fiber, recommends registered dietitian Kati Mora in an article published in "Fitness" in January 2012.
Healthy Add-Ins
Start with plain oatmeal and mix in nutritious extras to give it more flavor and more nutrients. Cinnamon or allspice will give your oatmeal a bit more of a sweet taste without increasing the sugar content, and fresh or frozen fruit can contribute lots of flavor, sweetness and nutrients without adding a lot of calories. Nonfat Greek yogurt can increase the protein in your meal and make it creamier. Flaxseeds, nuts, nut butters and sunflower seeds are also nutritious, but limit them to no more than 1 tablespoon per bowl of oatmeal because they are high in calories.

"He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching …"
My 100 Words:
He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching. It brought tears to his eyes.
The children stood in a row, each one with their hands behind their backs as they stood tall and obedient.
Of course, they were ogres. Tall and obedient was in their nature. Intelligence? Not so much. But the ability to follow directions? They were pros before they could bash in their first tree stump.
"Really," Mr. Orsecks said as a snot bubble flared out of one nostril. "Really spectacular."

Spanish is spoken widely throughout the world and in ever-increasing numbers in the United States. This is probably why we have many visitors who ask us, "What is the best way to learn Spanish?"
To answer this question, we polled 1,000 people who are native English speakers and are now fluent speakers of Spanish.
When we asked the experts about the best ways to learn Spanish, their answers varied but there was a commonality among them. We have taken this research and boiled it down to the 5 best ways to learn Spanish.
The Best Way to Learn Spanish: Follow This 5-Step Procedure
The Best Way to Learn Spanish: Step 1, Choose a Great Starter Program
Interestingly, over 50% of those polled did not learn Spanish in school. They learned independently and began from one of these two outside resources: Rocket Spanish or Rosetta Stone.Read More

Marr's production people are more persistent at pestering Guido than Marr himself is with his guests. Nevertheless Guido declined their invitations. So you'll just have to make do tomorrow with Iain Dale on their political blogging special.
Strangely they turned down Guido's generous counter-offer to direct and produce a 5 minute look at why the Lobby/BBC lets us down, and how bloggers are performing a necessary service to democracy.
Guido suspects that they would much rather record and edit the footage to fit their agenda. Guido would rather "frame" them.

Promoting arts for charity/
Continuing its tradition of promoting arts for the benefit of charity, WOU hosted a musical drama staged by the theatrical troupe of Dalat International School.
Originally written and produced by the school's drama club, "A Tad of Trouble" played to a theatre packed with over 300 guests on a Saturday evening.
It was the school's first charity performance, with proceeds of close to RM 6,000 successfully raised to aid the hospice programmes of the National Cancer Society of Malaysia's Penang branch.
WOU Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Emeritus Prof Gajaraj Dhanarajan, was supportive of the idea of a charity performance to benefit one of society's most caring welfare bodies.
"This is our way of giving back to the community. Dalat approached us with the plan for a charity show; we have the facilities, they have the resources. So we went ahead, giving our best in our own different ways," he said in an interview.
The story of Tad Phinehas, a mute and wayward lad played by 19-year-old Jonathan Hayashi, opens with the scene of him caught drinking by his father one day. Frustrated at how Tad had turned out, Phinehas agrees to let a travelling salesman, Obediah, played by 16-year-old George Merusi, 'groom' his son into a responsible man. Instead, all Obediah teaches Tad are ways to cheat poor, unsuspecting customers with their fake goods.
The two-hour play, dotted with humour and songs, shows how Tad eventually hands over the scheming Obediah into the arms of law while turning a new leaf himself. Other notable characters in the play include the guardian angels Olivia and Xander; Temperance, the brash tomboyish girl who helped Tad trap Obediah; and her uncle Marshal Smelts.
More than 20 cast members, aged 14-19, were involved in the production of the play, which started rehearsals as early as January.
Dalat's drama director, Mark Sasse, was visibly pleased that it turned out to be a positive experience for his students and hoped to stage a similar production again.
Also present at the performance were Puan Sri Sue Dhanarajan, NCSM Penang vice chairman Datuk Seri Dr T. Devaraj and Datin Seri Elizabeth Devaraj.

I thought we knew that already but it is good to have research to back it up.
Strange then that other than the one token Ride or Walk to School Day each year, we do not do a great deal to encourage are and make it easy for our children to choose more active modes of transport.

oven-free pizza recipe
i've been reading a little about grilled pizzas this weekend, and strangely enough, my friend mari posted about the same thing. so it was kismet, right? we had to have grilled pizza tonight, or something along those lines. the finished product was de-li-ci-OUS, in my opinion. brian didn't seem to mind eating it at all. market pizza ingredients: half pound oyster mushrooms handful of arugula (cleaned, stemmed if needed) ball fresh mozzarella tomato sauce of your liking (we used a can of fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, doctored with the usual suspects) loaf french bread olive oil salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flake clean the mushrooms, and chop into toothsome pieces. sautee, season, and pour off extra moisture if needed. tear arugula. when mushrooms start to brown, add arugula. as soon as arugula starts to wilt, take pan off heat and cover. heat tomato sauce. slice a 6-inch portion of french bread in half. heat grill pan to high, and brush on olive oil. place bread cut-side down until just starting to toast. cut mozzarella into small pieces. when bread is toasted, take off grill pan, slather with a little tomato sauce, cover about half the surface area with mozz, and fill in the gaps with mushroom/arugula mixture. return to grill pan (cut-side up now, i hope you realize), cover, and turn pan off. when cheese just barely starts to melt and everything is hot, remove, cut, and serve. mmm, fancy french bread pizza! delicious! other mushrooms should work just as well, but the oyster/arugula combo was really doing it for me tonight. i apologize if you're more exact in your cooking than i am. let me know if you have questions.
