Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader:Kirkland Family 14 p2You were stirring the soup, your coat sitting on the chair, ready to go get your kids from school when you heard the front door open and close and two soft voices, one of them you identified as Matthew. The scent of softly simmering soup filled the house, wafting through the huge rooms, calling ___'s family to the kitchen doorway. You stuck your head around the corner"Matt!?" you exclaimed as he ran to you and hugged your legs."What are you two doing here...?" Arthur asked, Slightly baffled as to how they got home so quickly by themselves."___-san..." an unfamiliar yet gentle voice called. You glanced up wondering who the soothing voice belonged to. A young man stood there. He had brown eyes and strangely familiar black hair."Who is he?" you asked"It's Big Brother Kiku!!!" said Alfred"K-Kiku...!? When did you grow up to be that big!?" Arthur questioned"There's nothing to get shocked about, Arthur-san. When I woke this morning, I just found myself this big" Kiku
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 15(Arthur's POV) "____! ____! No! Please don't leave me!" I fell to my knees, begging for my beloved.I don't know why she left me with the children. What did I do wrong? I was just trying to be a good father... Am I not enough?"Is it because I can't tell her my feelings?"Haah...!" I got up from the bed as I panted heavily "A dream?" It was my first time having a nightmare like that, Why am I afraid? my heart is throbbing so fast. When I looked down at the bed, ___ wasn't there, Only the children, sleeping peacefully. I'm glad I didn't wake them.I left the room as fast as I could. I had to see ____. to know that it really WAS all just a dream. I saw her in the kitchen, leaning on the pale granite bench top. She was reading some papers, work probably. As soon as I approached her, I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her. She dropped the papers in shock.Why is she not responding? She never kisses me back, and she never pushes me away. Is she numb or just pretending that she'
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 4Today is your date with Arthur. Date, the word usually means only for "two" people not "four." Arthur had wanted to leave them with China. China agreed but Matthew and Alfred didn't want to. Since you were such a caring mother, you brought them with you for your date.In the car...'Those brats... This is my chance to be alone with ___ right!?' Arthur got irritated just thinking about it."Arthur... I know what you're thinking."'S-She can read my mind!?' "If we leave them with Yao, they'll cry, wont they? I don't want that to happen.""Okay, okay. I'm sorry." He kissed you on the cheek as an apology."So, where do you want to go?" he asked and focused himself again on driving."Ask them." you said and looked outside your window."Alfred, Mat-" When Arthur looked at them, there's a hint of excitement in their eyes."Carnival!!" they said at the same time.At the two kid's words, Arthur drove them to the carnival. The carnival was pretty lively, Alfred got scared when an
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 2It's a real shock that you actually became a parent, on the top of that... with Arthur. When you woke up, you didn't know why your hips hurts like hell and why you're sleeping on the floor... With Arthur... Oh yeah, you just realized that Alfred kicked you on the hips many times with his monstrous strength while he was sleeping."O-Oww... my hips hurts..." you tried to stand up but you fell."___...? You awake...?" Arthur woke up, slowly opening his eyes."Y-yeah...""Something wrong?" he asked"My hips f*ckin' hurt!!!" you growled."Shhh, you're gonna wake up the children!""Oh sorry...""Here, Let me help you" he proposed, tossing your arm over his shoulder."T-Thanks..."Arthur led you to the living room, and let you watch the TV."Are you gonna attend the meeting today?" you asked him."Of course" he said, sitting beside you."Meeting, huh...? ...Spain's gonna host it today right?""Yeah."Then you heard Matthew crying. You stood up and went to check Matthew."What's wrong?" you as
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 3Today was you and Arthur's day off. "Praise the Lord!" Is the only thing you always cried when that day came."___, I have an emergency meeting, I'll be out for a while." he packed up his things with his phone on his shoulder."Why all of a sudden? Isn't our day off today?" Wow, what a stupid boss... Ruining your first family day..."But Papa, Mama and us will be all alone." Alfred and Matthew said at the same time."I'll make it fast, I promise.""You're gonna make them cry." you pointed out. The children started to cry."Oh, really? For God's sake! Alright, I'll use magic.""Magic? Some magic to stop them from crying...?" you asked, confused."Let me show you..." he pulled out a wand from now where and swung it, casting a spell. A strong wind blew up and a thick fog came out. When the fog cleared up, two men were standing there. It was Arthur in his Pirate days and another Arthur as the British Empire."What the bloody hell am I doing here?" Pirate Arthur wondered."Such a disgrace,
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 18You opened your eyes and gazed out the window, watching as the birds flew about in the erarly morning sunshine. You had to get up early to pack Matt and Al's lunchboxes. As you shifted, you noticed there was a strong arm slung over your waist. You rolled over about to kiss Arthur good morning, only to find that the man was NOT Arthur. WHY ON EARTH WAS THIS STRANGE SHIRTLESS MAN IN YOUR BED?!?!You pushed the man off you. He opened his eyes. You studied his baby blues carefully, hoping to find some clue as to WHY HE WAS IN YOUR BED."Oww! What are you doing, Mom!?" the shirtless guy growled"Mom!? Mom my arse! Who the hell are you!?" You're talking like Arthur now..."It's me! Alfred!" he said"Alfred? you're kidding me! Alfred is a chil-... What? Can you repeat that again?""I'm A-L-F-R-E-D Kirkland, Look, Matt also grew up too" he said as he pointed the sleeping Matthew."Gosh... You guys really grow up fast" you said, then, you shook Arthur, trying to wake him."What is it ___...?" h
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 1You've been stressing yourself due to work so Arthur invited you for a picnic, you didn't reject him because it's also a good idea to have a break. The picnic is located at the top of the hill, so it's great to spend some time there!"Hey Arthur, how come you have lots of freetime?" you asked."Me? I don't do work unless I want to." he replied, taking a bite on the sandwich he brought."Really? I envy you... Arthur, switch places with me!""No way." he chuckled."Ahh... I want to leave my boss now... He's making me do his own freaking work!" you groaned."How ungentlemanly, letting a lady get stressed.""Indeed!"Ever since you became a country, Arthur is the only person you want spend time with, you felt so happy when he's around but that doesn't mean you're falling in love with him! You and Arthur are best friends, helping each other when war comes and you're always there to help him. In the end you're the one who always need help. You always have wars with France and Chin
Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 16Kiku invited you to Japan for the Hanabi Matsuri or the Fireworks Festival. He was pleased with the progress he was making, and wanted to show off to more developed countries, though he would never say that.He came to fetch you in a newly constructed ship, which you would be on for a while, Japan was quite far away. You met him at the docks, and he surprised you with gifts for you and your family. He tells you the garments are called 'Kimono' and 'Yukata' you stumble slightly over the pronunciation the first time, but managed to say it perfectly the next. The red kimono patterned with light pink cherry blossoms with gold highlights he gave to fitted perfectly. Arthur presented you with an elegant pink flower clip. It matched so perfectly that you wondered if he and Kiku had planned it.Arthur wore a dark green Yukata, patterned with forest leaves, he felt uncomfortable so he let his chest be exposed. There were also some shoes, wooden slippers, worn with socks. At first it was quite d
Prince!England X Reader: The Royal Bloodline VIIToday you are going to visit your other 3 brothers. Oh, in case you want to know why Arthur was in a separated castle from them, The answer is simple, they won't get along even you beat the crap out of them unless their little sister begged for them.You didn't expected that your brothers would throw a party for you, the Royalties from different "directions" came to see you AGAIN. They said "WELCOME BACK!" altogether. All of them were your cousins, and you're the youngest among them."__~! I'm so happy too see you again~!" Ivan hugged you tightly"Now, will you become one with me, da~?" he said with his usual smile."Brother... I thought you're going to marry me..." Natalia's voice scared him "I don't recall accepting your marriage contract!" Ivan ran while Natalia chased him. Arthur told you that he'll talk with Francis for a serious business."Dude! I miss ya'!" Alfred greeted you with a punch. However, it didn't worked, you caught his fist and flipped him down, you're th
Teen!England x Teen!Reader The Boy Next Door Part3Your POVYou wake up on a cloudy Saturday morning with small pockets of sunshine peeking through the clouds. Looking at your alarm clock, it's ten-thirty. Sitting up in your bed, you open the curtains and look out your window at Arthur's. Seeing that he is not up yet, you get an idea. Jumping out of your bed you run over to your desk and pull a few things out. A jade green marker, a white piece of paper and your limited edition shinatty-chan tape dispenser (You got from your friend Wang Yao before you left New York). On the piece of paper, you quickly write, 'Good morning Arthur! Meet me downstairs in fifteen minutes!' when writing the last's', a loud clap of thunder seems to shake the whole city, making your hand go up and cutting of the last s. Oh well. You put some tape on the window and look just in time to see Arthur look through his window. You smile and wave at him, and he gives a faint smile and closes the blinds. Closing your blinds, you go and get ready.Arthur's P
Nekotalia!EnglandxReader England has been scratching away at the white door for hours, since he first arrived at the young nation's home. There were now visible claw-marks from where he was scratching away and his fur was becoming drenched from the rain that started falling. Clawing. Fur. Yes, one of England's spells backfired on him and he was reduced to the mere form of a cat. He couldn't use magic and if he asked any other nation for help, they would surely make fun of him for it. Seeing as how __________ was a fresh new face in their world, he thought maybe she wouldn't be as careless about the situation compared to the rest of the countries. Again, he started clawing at the door for awhile more. Only then did his hair prick up with the feeling that something was watching him. Sure enough, as he turned around, a dark pair of eyes lay on him...________________ Waking up, you heard something scratching at the door. Slowly arising from your warm bed, you slipp
Daddy!EnglandxReader requestArthur sighed, plopping onto the couch. That was another babysitter driven away by his insane children.He glanced over to the twins. Alfred and Mathew just giggled.Arthur was a single parent with a full time job. Every babysitter left, screaming in terror as the two four year olds found some way to torture them. And Arthur was on his last leg."You two are going to be the death of me!" He huffed.The phone rang and Arthur groaned. He reached over and answered it with reluctance."Yes?" His voice was distressed."Angletterre~" his friend, Francis, chirped knowingly."What do you want, frog?""I 'ear you need a new sitter, non?" Arthur groaned."How do you know already?" There was a chuckle on the other side of the line."She ran screaming down ze street. What is this, the fifth in two weeks?""Beth didn't count. She was there for two minutes after I was down the street. I even waited to see how long she lasted. She never had a strong heart

P.1 Ch 4 Entertain Me ~ Demon!EnglandXReaderReader's P.O.V.She made it to the stable. Her breath was husky and she desperately wanted some water but she did it! She made it to the stable, which was old and dilapidated. Who did she know it was the stable? Since this looked like a stable and the fact she had a good feeling about here, she figured it was.Breathing out [Name] looked out from the covered building to the forest where she'd been saved by Arthur's demon servant for some reason. She'd have to thank him later for his deed. She turned to look at the 'stable' only to meet with a pair of violet eyes. [Name] yelped and stumbled backwards only to fall on her bum.Those eyes belonged to a tall man with beige hair and a scarf that matched it. He also had ebony wings, which he had tightly tucked against his back, and a tail. He had a large coat, which confused her because it wasn't cold out at all. His eyes looked over [Name] curiously. Then he smiled ever so slightly."We approve of the one Arthur chose." He said in str
Teen!England x Teen!Reader The Boy Next DoorToday was your first day living in London, England. You and your parents moved here from New York because of you dads job. You were sitting in your new room, about triple the size of your room in NY, unpacking the rest of your items, which was not much. You heard from your parents that the house was very close by to one of the best private schools in the world, and you were to start there in a week."______" your mother yells "How is the unpacking going?""Fine, Mother. there is not much left.""Good. There is a Family that lives next door and they will be coming over for dinner tonight so make sure you get cleaned up!""Sounds Good.""I forgot to mention, they have three boys around your age.""Thanks for the Info."Right before you left, your boyfriend Alfred dumped you because he said he did not want a long distance relationship. when you had arrived at the airport, you called his cellphone but it went to his voice mail."Hi, this is Alfred F. Jones. please leave a message if you ar
Jock!America x Nerd!Reader x Nerd!England Part 3"Hey, someone saw you leaving with Arthur yesterday," Alfred tells you the next morning as you two sit near the flagpole outside of the school. "They said he had his arms around you, and you guys disappeared into your car."Not true! Not exactly. He did help you out of the school, and he stayed with you as you sat in your car for a while, at least until you felt okay enough to drive. And that was it.Alfred's tone seems to imply more."I was sick from the dissection in Anatomy, and he helped me to my car. I was literally about to throw up.""But you didn't even have lunch
"You didn't bother correct him on how you had consumed lunch, just a very miniscule amount.He put his arm around you, resting his cheek against the top of your head.

Daddy!EnglandxReader - Broken"WahhhhHHhh!"You were finally at your wit's end.Four nights of it – Four nights worth of incessant crying and screaming from the children next door..."AH HAhhHha.."All you wanted to do was try and get some sleep –You pushed the pillow further over your head and tried desperately not to scream with frustration. You'd moved to England in the hopes of making a fresh start, and adjusting to a new job was making you restless in general. Only now, you had to also deal with the incessant screaming of children whose parents were either deaf or...-"AHhhhhhhhhHh!"well, deaf.Guess I best get up then.You threw your pillow on the floor in defeat.You really didn't want to do this. It was not your place to get involved in other people's lives, especially when it came to children, something you had very little experience in... But you needed to sleep! Sleep was good; you enjoyed it quite a lot. It meant that you were in top form for your first da
Dance Floor Cinderella: Punk!EnglandXReaderLights.Blue. Purple. Yellow. Green. Red.Crimson, to be more specific. And that dark, luscious red illuminated the floor hotly before being replaced by a royal amethyst that shined off the floor so brightly that you had to shield your eyes from the color. The intensity of the sounds almost matched that of the blinding colors. The bass on the speakers were so high that you were sure you wouldn't be able to hear tomorrow. Or speak for that matter. You and your friends were practically yelling at each other over not only the music but the hyper crowd as well. The assault of your senses would continue throughout the night. It was something that you had grown accustomed to, though reluctantly."I'm not too sure about this, Liz!" you shouted."Lighten up, ________! You've been stressing too much lately. You need to loosen up, get some drinks, and let go," Elizaveta cried.Somehow they managed to drag you to the dance floor. You just let your friends do the dancing for you. They would take y

Not to mention, he has these thick eyebrowsalmost like furry, black caterpillarsthat frame his emerald eyes. He's attractive but in an odd way, and he is definitely smart.Unfortunately, this isn't the setting for some epic romance, and you don't get the privilege of sitting next to him and being his lab partner, though you desperately wish it so.

Daddy!England X Mommy!Reader: Kirkland Family 13You sighed and looked out the window. Your view of the green English countryside was obscured but the heavy rain that was pouring from the heavens. On the upside, at least you didn't have to drive in this weather; you had a day off work. On the down-side, Mattie and Alfred had colds, and Arthur had to go to work, so you have to look after both of them alone.You placed you hand on Mattie's forehead, and found that his temperature had sky rocketed. You went over to Alfred and did the same, he was burning up too. Over the next half hour you tried everything you knew to try and make the fever go down. Nothing helped.You rang the closest clinic, but it was shut. So was the next, and the next. Deciding that they needed to see a doctor, and that the Hospital would still be open, you went down stairs to start the car, only to find that it had decided to have a day off too.You called Arthur, and he didn't pick up."WHAT!?" you cried "I NEED HIM AT HOME RIGHT NOW!" you slammed the phone back

In the proprietary world? Not so much. Microsoft, for example, typically takes weeks if not months to patch vulnerabilities such as the recently discovered Internet Explorer zero-day flaw. Good luck to all the businesses using it in the meantime.
2. Quality
Which is more likely to be better: a software package created by a handful of developers, or a software package created by thousands of developers? Just as there are countless developers and users working to improve the security of open source software, so are there just as many innovating new features and enhancements to those products.
In general, open source software gets closest to what users want because those users can have a hand in making it so. It's not a matter of the vendor giving users what it thinks they want--users and developers make what they want, and they make it well. At least one recent study has shown, in fact, that technical superiority is typically the primary reason enterprises choose open source software.
3. Customizability
Along similar lines, business users can take a piece of open source software and tweak it to suit their needs. Since the code is open, it's simply a matter of modifying it to add the functionality they want. Don't try that with proprietary software!
4. Freedom
When businesses turn to open source software, they free themselves from the severe vendor lock-in that can afflict users of proprietary packages. Customers of such vendors are at the mercy of the vendor's vision, requirements, dictates, prices, priorities and timetable, and that limits what they can do with the products they're paying for.
With FOSS, on the other hand, users are in control to make their own decisions and to do what they want with the software. They also have a worldwide community of developers and users at their disposal for help with that.
5. Flexibility
When your business uses proprietary software such as Microsoft Windows and Office, you are on a treadmill that requires you to keep upgrading both software and hardware ad infinitum. Open source software, on the other hand, is typically much less resource-intensive, meaning that you can run it well even on older hardware. It's up to you--not some vendor--to decide when it's time to upgrade.
6. Interoperability

Comments about Womens Brooks PureCadence 3 Running Shoe:
I had the first version of these and ended up buying 3 diffrent colors. When the II's came out I did not like them looks or feel. I read the reviews for the III's and gave it a shot and so glad I did. They are great! My stride feels smoother, the shoe is light and after my run my whole body feels great. I will be buying another pair for my IM training, So excited and hope they don't change anything on the next version so I don't have to keep trying other sneakers.

Resolved the compatibility issue of PAD hardware key in MS Windows platform
Recently, PAD have found that there was platform compatibility issue when customer installs PAD hardware key driver in Windows 64 bit platform and activated PAD license in PAD hardware key in the same platform. The PAD hardware key cannot be used in 32 bit Windows platform properly. (There is no such problem if the PAD license and PAD hardware key was activated in 32 bit platform.)
This technical problem resolved this platform compatibility issue by combining 32 bit driver and 64 bit driver together. Updated drivers have been uploaded to the download area of PAD² V5 & PAD² V6.
Should you have encountered any problems and questions, you may contact your local distributors. Or you may email to email@example.com .

Turing Test 2014
The press is abuzz with the claim that a computer has passed the famous Turing Test for the first time. The University of Reading organized a Turing Test competition, held at the Royal Society in London on Saturday June 7th. The have now announced that a chatbot named Eugene Goostman passed the test by convincing 33% of the judges that it was a human.
The Turing Test, devised by Alan Turing, was proposed as one method for determining if artificial intelligence has been achieved. The idea is – if a computer can convince a human through normal conversation that it is also a human, then it will have achieved some measure of artificial intelligence (AI).
The test, while interesting, is really more of a gimmick, however. It cannot discern whether any particular type of AI has been achieved. The current alleged winner is a good example – a chatbot is simply a software program designed to imitate human conversation. There is no actual intelligence behind the algorithm.

Chicago's Purple Hotel to Undergo Redevelopment, Take SpringHill Suites Flag

These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
CHICAGO—First Hospitality Group, Inc. (FHG) has formed a joint venture with North Capital Group, LLC to reinvigorate the property that was once home to the Pritzker family's first Hyatt in Chicago—the Purple Hotel.
The hotel will be rebranded into the five-story SpringHill Suites Lincolnwood, which will have 160 guestrooms, 4,000 sq. ft. of banquet space and 1,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The hotel is proximate downtown Chicago, O'Hare airport, Loyola University and Northeastern Illinois University.
"We're thrilled to be a key player in the rebirth of this iconic corner," stated Richard Mann, principal with NORR Illinois, Inc., the hotel project's architect. "It's a rare opportunity when we can design a hotel amidst a well-conceived and exciting development that will bring new life to Lincolnwood and surrounding communities."
In addition to the hotel, the site wil be home to The Shoppes at Lincoln Pointe, which will feature retail, dining, grocery and professional offices. "SpringHill Suites is one of Marriott's fastest growing brands, attracting both the Gen Xs and the Gen Ys, and appealing to both business and leisure travelers," stated First Hospitality Group Inc. President/COO Robert Habeeb. "This brand is a perfect selection for the market opportunity in Lincolnwood and should be the cornerstone of The Shoppes at Lincoln Pointe."

(09/27/12) - A big protest that was supposed to bring Al Sharpton to Saginaw this Saturday has been canceled.
Sharpton's National Action Network promised to bus in people from around the country to protest the police shooting death of Milton Hall.
But now Sharpton can't make it.
There was also an issue of cost. The city was billing Sharpton's group more than $4,000.
A prayer vigil will be held instead at Riverview Plaza

Review of Beauty UK Eye Shadow Palettes
Most Beautiful Castle in the UK - quite possibly
Advantages: stunning, picturesque and will last an entire day out
Disadvantages: You'll have to drive really
...Esledes and the name Leeds developed from that.
There is precious little to add from the exceptional other review of "teacherofhooch".
So I will fill in some gaps.
The castle itself includes a guided tour if required, but if you do not want the full history information (because it is nice and sunny outside!!) then you can wander around alone. The inside is pristinely kept in period design...

A tip to the drug hotline led vice and narcotics officers to 138 McCluer road, and three people inside a white Tahoe.
Officers confiscated the SUV, a gun, cash and about 4 ounces of marijuana. Twenty-seven year old Raymond Coleman, Eighteen-year-old Octavious Taylor, and 20-year-old Cadarius Vaughn are charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1500 feet of a church.
A hole had been cut into a window in the house where detectives say customers could walk up to buy drugs.
Officers say the charges could be upgraded because an elderly bed ridden woman lives at the home.

Student representatives say they were "completely blindsided" over a possible new round of market-based tuition hikes, including one suggestion that would see University of Alberta law students pay 58 per cent more. Tuition increases at Alberta's post-secondary institutions have been tied to the consumer price index since 2010. But with funding crunches and faculty shortfalls, the province circulated guidelines in July for "market modifications," allowing specific programs to make a case to gradually increase tuition starting next fall to rates charged at other Canadian universities. »
Bryanna Forest has always been fearless on the ice and now she is showing the same determination — and using the same hockey moves — in the rehabilitation room. The 10-year-old from Shilo, Man., is among the first patients at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital to use a made-in-Edmonton digital hockey game for rehabilitation. A sudden brain bleed in July left her unable to walk or speak. She went through 4-1/2 hours of emergency surgery, but was still unable to walk independently when she arrived at the Glenrose at the end of July. »
John Hattie, the renowned international expert on teacher excellence, is barnstorming in Alberta this week, speaking to groups of educators across the province, and delivering a message certain to make many principals, teachers and the odd provincial education minister extremely nervous. Hattie says there's far too much focus on things that will do little to improve student success — such as reducing class size, focusing on transformational ideas and leadership, advocating for discovery or inquiry-based learning, and labelling kids with learning disabilities and learning styles — and not nearly enough time and money spent on the one thing that matters: raising the level of teacher expertise. »

29. Minnesota (via Baltimore) – Harrison Smith, Safety, Notre Dame. In a weak draft for safties, Smith is the 2nd best. He should start immediately. Even if he's not ready. That secondary blows.
30. San Francisco – AJ Jenkins, WR, Illinois. Who? Is he better than Stephen Hill or Alshon Jeffery? Guess we'll find out. Jenkins, if you're curious, padded his stats vs. Northwestern (268 yards on 12 catches) but in the last seven games, he had just one 100-yard game, and one TD (in the bowl game). Probably the most puzzling pick in the 1st round, slightly ahead of what Seattle did.
31. Tampa Bay - Doug Martin, RB, Boise State. Awesome pick. He'll compete from Day 1 for the starting job. How about that Greg Schaino draft? He got the best safety in the draft, and probably the 2nd best RB.
32 New York Giants – David Wilson, RB, Virginia. Explosive back. Big fan. What's been so rough is seeing a lot of college players I like going to teams … I don't really like.

The Israel issue is certainly not invented. Democracy in all of Asia (not just the Middle East) is a few decades away - the exceptions are India, Turkey and Japan. However, the issue of Palestine is not just an Arab issue - it has become a global issue.
Quite a few regional countries have very pro-Israeli foreign policies - e.g., Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, etc. Nobody, however, supports expansionism, illegal settlements, apartheid and racist policies. Causes are never "invented" - nations can be invented - e.g., the Jewish nation!!!!
It is refreshing o see an article about Middle East troubles, where the word 'Israel' doesn't appear even once.
For decades the Israel card was played by Israel's neighbors as an excuse to avoid dealing with the Arab world's real problems, diverting the attention from those issues.
Those days are over. Arab nations now face their real issues, not the invented Israeli one.
You say:
'The Israel issue is certainly not invented.'
Far more Arabs were killed in Syria alone in the past two-and-a-half years, in comparison to ALL dead from all sides (Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, etc...) in 65 years of Israeli-Arab conflict.
Israel was kept if focus of the Arab agenda precisely for the purpose of diverting the masses thoughts from the real internal problems that face the Arab world. This doesn't work anymore; the Arab states now face head-on their issues. The last thing an Egyptian, or a Syrian, or a Yemeni protester worries about today - is Israel.
Talking about Saudi Arabia or Turkey as countries with a 'pro-Israeli policy' can be generated from a 1001 nights type of a fairy-tale. This is the same fairy-tale that connect Israel to apartheid, racist policies, etc.
You say:
'The Israeli issue is not invented: there really are a lot of people (in law, Israeli citizens) dispossessed and exiled because of their religion, and there really is a lot of terrorism to impose that dispossession (there is also some to oppose it).'
This is an empty slogan. Reality is in fact exactly the opposite. Israel today is the ONLY place in the Middle East where minority religions have the full freedom to protest anything.
Ironically, it is Arab Israelis who demonstrated in favor of Morsi over the weekend. In Egypt, this would have ended with having the protesters fired on.
Among other things, what the main speaker of that demonstration Ra'ad Salah called for, was for Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood to "cross the borders" into Israel and "liberate" Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa mosque from Israeli occupation.
Of course, the demonstrators in Israel where free to to go back home after that. This is how real freedom and democracy work.
At the same time, a few weeks ago an Arab Israeli priest from Nazareth called upon Arab Christians to enlist into the IDF, an action he was attacked for by Israeli Muslims and their MK members:
About a week ago it was published that Israeli Arab Christians are set to establish a Christian party to represent those Arabs who fail to see the existing Arab parties, dominated by Muslims, represent them properly. As the guy behind the initiative puts it - We are first of all Israelis; then Christians:
I see this as a natural development among Israeli Arab Christians. Across the entire Middle East, fake Arab nations disappear, while Islam becomes the common denominator (either under Sunna or Shia). In an Islamist dominated area, Christians are harassed, their Churches burnt; they are murdered and cleansed.
About 3/4 of the ~2 million Christians who lived in Iraq in 2003 are out of Iraq already. Syria's Christians are driven out. Egyptian Copts started to leave as well (maybe now it will be halted, following the army's takeover). Christians are pretty much out of Gaza. Even in Lebanon their numbers are stagnant for a long time.
Israeli Christians see all of that. Reality taught them that a religion or sect which has no nation state to defend it in a growing Islamist dominated region, is totally exposed and will be eliminated.
The Jews, unlike Christians, do have a nation state to protect their own existence. Israeli Arab Christians know that if Israel is gone, they are doomed as well. The fact that they are Arab too won't save them from the same fate other Arab Christians face in the Middle East. Israeli Arab Christians know that their survival and prosperity depend on how strong and stable Israel is. So now they join forces with Israeli Jews, in support of the Jewish State, their de-facto protector.
Indeed, across the Middle East many still try to blame everything on Israel, even though only a few pay attention to it.
People are not stupid. The 2 million Syrian refugees know all their sufferings have everything to do with the Sunni-Shiite war, and nothing to do with Israel.
Same goes for the casualties within the spreading internal conflict in Lebanon.
Egyptian masses were angry at the Islamist radicalization of Egypt, nothing to do with Israel.
And so on...
What I related to is the article itself, dealing with the Middle East troubles, in which the name 'Israel' didn't appear even once. This is journalistic refreshment.
You say:
'many Israeli citizens, Xn and Moslem, are held in disenfranchised exile on account of their religion.'
Unless you can prove it, this is a blood libel!
You say:
"…And as for Jews being a nation, I remind you that Israel… is not a nation…".
My first comment I have, Komarov, relates to self-determination, where the principal is that if a group of people consider themselves a people, they need not get an approval from anyone to be defined as such
Therefore, in order for Jews to define themselves a people, they are free from the need to get permission from anyone. That includes also you, Komarov.
Regardless of the above mentioned – Jews are a people according to any objective criteria you may consider. It starts from having common language, culture, and history. It ends with proven common genetics that distinguishes them from others.
Nm 23:9 is not indicating that Israel is not a nation, it is actually the opposite; The Jewish nation is not like other nations, and has other set of rules and responsibilities, and will dwell peacefully. (by most popular commentary, there are others but non of them saying that Israel is not a nation).
Your point:
"many Israeli citizens, Xn and Moslem, are held in disenfranchised exile on account of their religion"
according to what?
You are misinformed.
From Egypt: Israel and the USA have started it all because they want to take over the Sinai to displace the Palestinians and occupy all the West Bank.
From Turkey: A minister stated that the demonstrations were being formented by the "Jewish Diaspora"
More will no doubt follow.
In general, this is a good analysis of the Arab Spring. I have one comment, though. I want to ask the author: Where is Libya? A country ruled by a dictator for four decades, before his oppressed people sailed with winds of the Arab Spring. They toppled him pretty quickly with the help of the West, who is reluctant now to provide the same help to the Syrian rebels. Yet, a great setback occurred, as the country began to transform into a pasture and a safe haven to the religious militias and other criminal factions, amid weak national security forces and impotent government.
What are the implications of this situation on the North Africa region, as well as on the Middle East?
Alaa Ghazala
The Israeli issue is not invented: there really are a lot of people (in law, Israeli citizens) dispossessed and exiled because of their religion, and there really is a lot of terrorism to impose that dispossession (there is also some to oppose it). When democracy gets firmer in Araby the Israeli state will no longer have the excuse that its opponents are autocracies, and those opponents will be a lot more capable of helping the exiles home.
You are ignoring my point: many Israeli citizens, Xn and Moslem, are held in disenfranchised exile on account of their religion. And as for Jews being a nation, I remind you that Israel (the true Israel, the Biblical Israel) is not a nation (Nm 23:9) but a qahal or church. Whichever modern faith community you consider to be the true Israel, it cannot be the Israeli Rabbinical Jews if their state is a nation state.
Speaking about the fate of Christians in the Islamizing Middle East, watch this:
This is a clear message to Christian all across Islmists ruled areas: Pack your bags and leave - OR ELSE...!!!
The only thing left to ask is:
Where are all those 'human rights' advocates, who come out in droves when an article is out where it is claimed that Jews cut some olive treas owned by Palestinians;
Where are all those who yell 'Israel is ethnically cleansing' - why are they silent now?
This world is filled with double-faced, hypocrite racists, who stand on their rear feet only when they can try and harm the Jewish State's legitimacy, while doing it by abusing in vain true human rights values.
Max … you sound like you've been reading David Goldman/ Spengler … who has been saying these things for sometime!
The not-ready-for-Prime-Time players of the Arab/Muslim Middle East are NOT going to get 'democracy' … or 'freedom' … but that's OK as long as they can get a more balanced economic outlook. That's what the Egyptians et al can 'hope' to achieve. Happy tummies … happy pocketbooks … begets happy campers! The Arab/Muslims are experiencing a 'population bulge' … at the same time as they're experiencing 'global warming' … drought … rapid urbanization due to drought … when you have:
50% of the population under the age of 24 without 21st C job skills
50% of the population ILLITERATE without hope
50% of the population DISCRIMINATED including women and minorities (Christians, Shias in Sunni majority states, Sunnis in Shia majority states, et al)
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A REVOLUTION. Democracy?
The Muslim Brotherhood is a fascist Islamist organization which has no business running a country let alone being allowed to exist in these states! They ONLY want to use power to dictate their 'Islamist vision' on the state and the world! They are the cause of what has been termed the 'Clash of Civilizations' … their agenda MUST BE expunged from the Planet! There's no room for 'them' and US that is, the West and the liberal democracies! They intend to 'take us over' and we must end those thoughts by any means necessary. The 'Al Sisi Coup' … has ended Egypt's experiment with the MB. Let's wish them success in achieving a goal of economic stability for Egypt … it ain't gonna be easy BUT we all (in the West) have a stake in seeing them succeed. Good luck.
You said: "Democracy in all of Asia … is a few decades away - the exceptions are India, Turkey and Japan …"
You missed the nation state of Israel … a liberal democratic state living under the 'rule of law' … which has had upteen free and fair elections since its birth in 1948! Arab/Muslims, Bahais, Christians and Jews are ALL citizens of Israel and enjoy the benefits of FREEDOM and economic prosperity. You need to update your information. Get with the program!
You said: "Quite a few regional countries have very pro-Israeli foreign policies - e.g., Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, etc"
Huh? Did you just land on Planet Earth? Saudi Arabia doesn't allow Israeli passport holders or those with even an Israeli passport stamp … on their airlines! Let alone a 'toe' on Saudi soil! Turkey has severed diplomatic ties with Israel and Qatar is an Islamist spewing territory which sponsors those that attack Israel both physically and diplomatically! You are spewing lies & deceptions!
You said: "… nations can be invented - e.g., the Jewish nation!"
Israel … the Jewish State is the nation-state of the Jewish People! To say otherwise is disingenuous! The Jewish People are not 'invented' … you must be referring to the so-called 'Palestinian People' … that 'great' (sic) lie foisted on the world by the arch-terrorist Yasser Arabfat. Like all anti-Semites … you deny the obvious … the historicity of the Jewish People … to their homeland … Eretz Yisroel … or the Land of Israel - Israel the nation-state of the Jewish People.
"When the Zionist state was founded, its leaders started two wars"???
All the neighboring Arab countries invaded the new-born Israel on May 15, 1948. But you do not let facts influence your antisemitic views
one way to identify terrorist web-sites is their referring to Israel as "Zionist Entity"
Hey Nudnik, can you tell me why people who use the term "Zionists" (as a derogatory name of Israel) always add a ridiculous lie on the same phrase?
I'm sorry, but if you ignore commentaries made by people that devoted their lives in research of the bible, I will ignore your commentaries. Especially when you suggest that Israel is a church, come on.
The word "kahal" means crowd/public/audience and in your context (I assume) congregation, which is of course, not the opposite of the word nation nor dose it incompatible with it in any sort. "kahal benei Israel" are also the ones who emerge into "am Israel", the Israeli nation.
The term Gentile is used by English translators for the Hebrew word "goy" in the Hebrew Bible, "goy" in it's verbal term means nation, as God promised Abraham to become a "goy gadol" - a big nation. In later generations, the word received a separatist hue, meaning that "goy" is a different nation than the Jewish nation.
The Exodus story is not about how Israel became a non nation, but how it emerge to one. I guess that you refer to the golden calf story, that sin did not made Israel into a non-nation but is a part of it's becoming one.
The descendants of Abraham crystallized into a nation after their Exodus from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. Soon after the Exodus, Moses transmitted to the people of this new emerging nation, the Torah, and the Ten Commandments (Ex 20). After 40 years in the Sinai desert, Moses led them to the Land of Israel, that is cited in The Bible as the land promised by God to the descendants of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
You say:
'I am sure, Strait_Forward, that you are well aware that...When the Zionist state was founded, its leaders started two wars...'
I am sure, Komarov, that you are aware that what you wrote is incorrect and intentionally misleads. I am sure you know that it is the Arabs who started the war on Nov. 30th, 1947, the day after the UN adopted the Partition Plan, also known as UN resolution 181. Israel was established half-a-year later, the day the Brits left.
The war the Arabs started was no surprise. The Arabs declared IN ADVANCE their intention to launch a "WAR OF EXTERMINATION AND MOMENTOUS MASSACRE" if the Jews pursue their UN quest for statehood.
An October 11, 1947 report on the pan-Arab summit in the Lebanese town of Aley, by Egyptian newspaper Akhbar al-Yom's editor Mustafa Amin, contained an interview he held with Arab League secretary-general Azzam. Titled, "A War of Extermination":
"Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha spoke to me about the horrific war that was in the offing… saying:
"I personally wish that the Jews do not drive us to this war, as this will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Tartar massacre or the Crusader wars. I believe that the number of volunteers from outside Palestine will be larger than Palestine's Arab population...
"The Arab is superior to the Jew in that he accepts defeat with a smile: Should the Jews defeat us in the first battle, we will defeat them in the second or the third battle … or the final one… Most desert Arabians take pleasure in fighting.
"I warned the Jewish leaders I met in London to desist from their policy [Azzam Pasha met with Eliahu Epstein, head of the Jewish Agency's Washington office, on June 18, 1947, and with David Horowitz and Aubrey (Abba) Eban, the Jewish Agency's liaison officers to the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine, on Sept. 15, 1947], telling them that the Arab was the mightiest of soldiers and the day he draws his weapon, he will not lay it down until firing the last bullet in the battle, and we will fire the last shot …"
Here is the newspaper copy itself. If you can read Arabic, look at the area marked in red:
The Arabs started a war of annihilation against the Jews, trying to drive them to the sea, Komarov. The effort to re-write history won't succeed.
You blame Israel for 'annexation of much of the territory that had been assigned by the UN to the "Arab State in Palestine" '.
Now when we are clear that the Arabs started the war, it is clear that aggressors who disrespect their neighbors' rights based on the same UN resolution that gave the Arabs a state, have no right to demand that their own rights should be respected.
As you know, even though UN resolution 181 gave the Arabs to establish an Arab state according to borders defined by that resolution, those Arabs REFUSED to establish their state. And so when the British left, as no one declared sovereignty over the territories designated for the Arab State, those territories became no-man's land.
Note that the Israel-Jordan Armistice Agreement was concluded on April 3rd, 1949. Jordan illegally annexed the West Bank to that Kingdom on April 24th, 1950.
For over a year the West Bank was a no-man's land, and still NO 'PALESTINIAN' DEMANDED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF 'THE STATE OF PALESTINE' OVER THAT AREA!! - Don't you find this odd?!
You also talk blame Israel for the departure of hundreds of thousands of Arabs from Israel. This is of course false claim.
First, about half of those left did that during the British Mandate, before Israel's establishment. Second, most of the departure was self-initiated, starting with wealthy Arabs who left, paving the way for the others. Third, it was Arab leaders who urged Arabs in Palestine to leave. Forth, many Arabs who left simply went back home. As you know, during the British Mandate years over 100,000 Arabs immigrated into Palestine from neighboring Arab states, thanks to the fast economic development Jewish immigration brought to the land.
It was Jewish leaders who pleaded with the Arabs to stay. Most notably is the case of Haifa from which tens of thousands of Arabs left under instructions of their own leaders. jewish Mayor of Haifa, Aba Hushi, as well as Golda Meir, asked them to stay and go on with their lives, but they feared being considered as traitors if they do.
To summarize - Vast majority of Arabs left on their own. While there may have been some cases where local Jewish commanders decided to push Arabs out of their homes, those number are negligent.

Unsolicited Advice from a Ludum Dare Veteran
I've done several Ludum Dares in the past, and the one thing that I'd recommend to anyone is to always remember, you're doing this for fun.
- If something comes along that sounds more fun, or is more important, go do it.
- Take breaks. Go on a walk. Get away from the computer. Draw inspiration from the world, or let your subconscious tackle a tough problem while you enjoy yourself.
- Don't get stuck. Use a tool like Stutter to force yourself to bounce from art to programming to design to playtesting. (Yes, this is a shameless plug.)
- Sleep (or, at the very least, powernap). A tired developer is a sub-optimal developer. Four hours of peak development is worth much more than 16 hours of mediocre development.
- Eat. Food is fuel, and fuel, like sleep, is required to perform at peak.
- If you want to dominate your Ludum Dare (or appear to), don't learn your tools while you work. Decide upon your arsenal now, and learn as much as you can about them.
- Revision control is your best friend. Commit early, commit often. If you're doing it right, you'll be committing way more than you think you need to, and this is good. Reverting fifteen minutes worth of bug code is better than spending another fifteen debugging. (Don't forget to master revision control before the compo!)
- Submit your shit. Does your game crash? Submit it. Does your game suck? Submit it. Is your game so awful it's embarrassing? Submit it! Once you've submitted it, realize you've completed a Ludum Dare, how awesome that is, how many people wish they were you, how attractive you are, and how much better you'll do next time!
- Have fun. Have I mentioned that you're doing this for kicks? If you're stressed, worried, bored, upset, or tired, you're doing a bad games make job. Have fun, goddamnit.
Post Mortem – The Ten Ten Seconders
So, my second LD resulted in my first entry. Not bad.
What went right
Personally, I liked the theme. I'm always one to take it more as a game mechanic, so this one was pretty clear while offering a fair number of choices.
I had the game done after the first day. This gave me the second 24 hours to polish, draw, compose and add new features. I spent several hours obsessively tweaking numbers until I could win about 50% of the time, which seemed fair.
What went wrong
After tweaking for hours the girlfriend and I cooked dinner, watched a movie, and killed a bottle of wine. That in itself is not wrong, not at all. I thoroughly recommend it. However, it sort of put the idea of "The game's done, I could add some graphics and music but would I be really happy with them and there's another bottle of wine in the fridge oh stuff it let's just relax" into my head. I need to be more committed. ^__^
Also, despite basing my entry on the engine code for my previous attempt, there was still a fair chunk of tech to write. I mean, if I knew I was going to do a shooter no matter what the theme, I should have written a weapon class ready, right?
I picked a stupid size for the screen (1280×720). Next time, I check it on my laptop before submitting.
Lastly, the browser variance got me. I developed in Chrome, one of the more forgiving browsers, but when my first comment was "It freezes in Safari 6 on a Mac" I thought I'd better check it out. Horrifyingly it ran in NO other browsers (except Opera, which uses the same V8 JS engine as Chrome). Hurriedly researching and fixing a combination of transform, keyboard and audio problems got it running reasonably in all browsers except Safari, in which it still runs at 3-4 FPS instead of the 60 FPS of everything else. Post-compo (and therefore not in the entry version) I've played around with different methods but nothing has helped Safari. I also don't have a Mac, so I'm limited to version 5.1.7 (the latest version on Windows) which doesn't implement requestAnimationFrame, which is the recommended fix for buffered frames – although that's not the whole problem. >__<
Still, I'm pretty happy all told. Javascript seems to have stayed in my head despite neglecting it for eight months, and the game itself is pretty fun. If you like bullet hell shooters, you can play it on the web right here, please let me know what you think!
Aaand see you all in four months.
My advice
I don't think there is a single best method to do the Ludum Dare. I'm no expert and you may agree or disagree with my ideas but I've finished an entry for 9 different main LDs since LD #1. I've also failed many times and learned from those as well.
Get übermotivated
Making a game in 48 hours is hard. There will be times when you feel discouraged by your lack of progress, skills or inspiration. If you're going to finish a game this weekend, you need to make that your #1 priority. Don't start the LD without knowing that no matter what, you'll make a game this weekend. Maybe a very shitty game if things don't go your way, maybe an awesome game, but a game no matter what. Don't have any doubt about it and it won't be a problem.
The excitement here and on IRC before the compo is a great way to build up that motivation, but be careful that once the compo is started it can work against you when others seem to be advancing their game more quickly.
I'm writing a book on game jams!
Hello Ludum Dare friends, I am writing a book on game jams. As part of the research I wanted to ask you if you had any anecdotes or advice you'd like to share for achieving game jam success! In particular, funny stuff is what I'd like to hear most. =) One liners, haiku, yoda-like wisdom… you name it. Update: I'm loving all the haiku (5-7-5 syllable poems) please submit more!

I screwed myself and wasted a ton of time…
Instead of just saying SCREW IT, IT WON'T WORK, I decided to mess around for nearly 3 hours trying to create a specific death animation/scenario for the enemies.
What a waste. Now I'm behind schedule AND I can't make it the way I wanted to.
PRO TIP: If it can't be figured out in 30 minutes, simplify it and move on! NO TIME TO WASTE!
Hello from the Sidelines
Alas, it turns out that I am going to miss yet another LD. A last minute invite to las vegas with free travel and a free place to stay is taking over this weekend. It was a hard decision, but I've stopped voting on themes because of this. I'm half tempted to help out by culling the ones people hate, but I'm also tempted to vote up the ones we always see on the list but don't want (evolution, I'm looking at you).
Good luck to everyone who is competing. There are a lot of new names posting — special good luck to all of you. Hopefully you all get hooked and become permanent parts of the community.
Quick advice to you newcomers:
- Pick a game design that you can completely finish with time to spare but with room for additional features if you find yourself with extra time (lol). Too many first timers fail because they bite off more than they can chew.
- Make code that does only what it needs to do. I'm the worst about spending way too much time writing general, well commented, extendable code snippets instead of just writing what I need. It's 48 hours – if you want a piece of your code to use later, re-write it later.
- As mentioned in an earlier post and on the wiki, there are lots of tools created by the LD community that can quickly add a large amount of polish to your game. Dr Petter has written two amazing tools that give you sound effects and music, as well as a graphics editor. Blecki has a good looking map editor. RB has a new 3D python framework (allowed?). I wrote a tool for making timelapses, and a loader to make judging the games less of a chore. I'm sure there are more – read what people are posting about their toolsets and ask around in IRC. In fact, we had a whole mini-LD on tools, so check that out as well.
- Have fun! If you aren't enjoying yourself, take a 20-60 minute break. If you hate your time making your game, we will probably hate our time playing it.

Immigration reform could add millions under Obama health law
The Hill, January 28, 2013
Comprehensive immigration reform could make millions of people suddenly eligible for assistance under President Obama's healthcare law, assuming a final deal paves the way for undocumented immigrants to receive papers. Illegal aliens are now prohibited from purchasing coverage through the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges, which will launch next year. They are also ineligible for Medicaid under most circumstances, making the law's expansion of the program fruitless for people without documents.
