Is Your Living Room Big Enough For Microsoft Kinect?
Microsoft is making a big push into the motion-controlled gaming market with Kinect for the Xbox 360, but a new ad begs the question: Is your living room big enough to accommodate it?
Or rather, is your living room big enough for you to jump around in safely.
Some images from the Kinect manual reveal that Microsoft recommends at least 6 feet of open space in which to use Kinect. The problem is that for many people in small houses or especially in apartments, it might be hard to clear up that kind of space without getting rid of furniture altogether.
It gets worse if you plan to play with more than one person, in which case Microsoft recommends at least 8 feet of clear space.
We've had a chance to play Kinect at the E3 gaming convention and we definitely think that 6 feet may even be a conservative estimate. The games are so engrossing that you are jumping and thrashing about without even realizing it, taking up much more room than you might have anticipated. And with two people waving their arms and jumping about 8 feet of clearance would likely start to feel cramped.
And it's not just a matter of preventing users from crashing into furniture. A Microsoft representative told us that the Kinect camera and sensors work better when the user is standing back, allowing the sensors to get a look at the whole body. You can't expect to just keep your movements confined and stand 2 or 3 feet away from the TV.
Kinect is not scheduled for release until November, so it's not clear yet if it will be popular enough to induce people to remodel their living rooms in order to accommodate it.

Plant immune system research ready for application
To combat pathogens, farmers rely on disease-resistant plant varieties--cultivated by careful, slow breeding--and pesticides. Both are far from foolproof. Pathogens evolve to outwit breeding and pesticides often carry harmful environmental side effects. Some farmers, like those in developing countries, also can't afford them. Creating disease resistant seeds, requiring little-to-no pesticides and no unfamiliar agricultural techniques, is "a simple and effective way to help farmers in developing countries," Horvath said.
Classical breeding has given plant researchers a wealth of genetic material, developed over generations, with which to breed disease resistant varieties. Combined with leaps and bounds in genetics research and quicker, cheaper DNA sequencing, scientists have learned how to build stronger plant varieties. They have pinpointed special receptors, housed both inside and outside plant cells, which scan for infection; launching the attack when a pathogen is found. They've identified disease-resistant genes housed in the molecular architecture of different plants. These genes can confer resistance to dangers such as wheat rust, powdery mildew and bacterial spot disease.
"We now know enough about the key molecules in the plant immune system that we can actually start to deploy what we've learned," said Dangl. This includes genetic editing--removing disease-prone genes--or mining disease-resistance genes from various plants and adding them into other crops. Combining a few disease-resistance genes would bolster plant immunity to multiple diseases, similar to the chemical cocktail developed to fight AIDS.
The ultimate objective is to build "predictive, highly refined molecular plant breeding that includes disease resistance," Dangl said. It's essentially an updated version of classical breeding, injecting genetic know-how into seed creation using disease-resistance genes from plants people eat every day: wheat, rice, pepper, tomato and others.
This has already been successful. Disease resistance genes bred into papaya helped save Hawaii's papaya industry from a ringspot virus in the mid-90s. Staskawicz and Horvath also worked to develop tomato plants resistant to bacterial pathogens. In Florida field tests, the modified varieties have higher yields and don't require harmful copper pesticides.
Still, researchers have much to learn. How all these disease resistance genes function, on a molecular basis, is to be discovered. Staskawicz compares it to watching TV. You know if you press a certain button, the TV comes on, without understanding any mechanics behind the screen. "You can still use the gene without knowing exactly how it works," he said. Pathogens will also continue evolving, slowly subverting genetic disease resistance, engineered or not. "It's a constantly evolving process," Staskawicz said.
There are no simple solutions, said Michael Mishkind, a program director in NSF's Biological Sciences Directorate. Yet our current level of understanding of disease resistance mechanisms "speaks eloquently to the importance of basic research. Years of fundamental study of the plant immune system have added a powerful set of tools, helping us keep ahead of the pathogens that threaten our food supply."

Assholes who only use the sawed-off and power weapons? Or assholes that can't fight without throwing a smoke grenade at you first?
No, I'm not. Like my partner said, I'm aiming to point out that there is really no reason to bitch about the Sawed Off. I prefer the Gnasher, but in the end, it comes down to your preference. There are pros and cons to both, and quite honestly, it just boils down to personal choice. If you want to argue that the Sawed Off requires less skill, then what about the Boomshot, or Hammer of Dawn? My main point is this: Every weapon was included in the game for a reason. All you have to do is learn to use and enjoy them. There is no more need for Sawed Off hate than there is for Gnasher hate.
There's actually two people running this blog, and while I'm not the one who made that post, I'll try to answer this. I think he'll probably give his own answer later too. But anyway, he's not exactly defending the sawed-off, particularly because he never uses it, he's just stating that there's other stuff for people to bitch about.
But personally, I fucking hate the sawed-off. Gnasher for life.
1. Boomshot
If you want to talk about cheap weapons, this is it. Range isn't an issue, and honestly you don't even have to hit the target with it. You can just get close, and that will still wipe them out. And the one thing that offsets the Sawed Off's power (it's slow reload time) isn't an issue with the Boomshot, which has a decently fast reload bar for a one hit kill weapon. The only thing to offset the Boomshot is the lack off ammo (three shots doesn't last very long), and the fact that you can blow yourself up.
2. Grenades (Frag, Ink, Incendiary)
Planting frag grenades is usually a guaranteed way to get kills (unless the target is paying close attention), and only requires the ability to tap the B button. Kind of unglamorous, isn't it? Throwing them does require a good eye, but even still, the explosion has a pretty wide radius and is a pretty solid way to take out a large group of enemies. Ink grenades were pretty bad in Gears 2, but their new ability to stun is quite ridiculous. Simply throw the grenade at an unsuspecting enemy, and watch them die in about 5 seconds. They're also handy to throw at enemies who are charging at you. Toss an Ink at them to stun them, and then shoot their head off with a good Gnasher blast. Last, but not least: Incendiary Grenades. Silent but deadly. As long as you have good accuracy, you can take down an enemy without them ever knowing you were there. The grenades give off literally no warning, and are one hit kills if they land directly on the target. You never even have to fire a gun at them.
I hear people all the time talking about how the game "is meant to be played," and honestly, I don't think any of them are true. Gears is all about strategy and interpretation to me, and I think the only "right" way to play it is the way that works for you. For instance, my girlfriend's brother basically refuses to use anything besides the Lancer and chainsaw bayonet, while I have other friends who will use nothing but the Gnasher. This is a list of the "right" ways people have told me to play Gears, and why I think they're all wrong.
1. "The game was meant to be 1 on 1 Gnasher battles"
False. If the game was meant to be played that way, why would Epic install the Sawed Off Shotgun (whose original purpose was to break up the Gnasher showdowns)? And Gears of War is a cover based shooter: 1v1 shotgun battles don't use cover at all.. Basically if Epic doesn't endorse this style of play, then I would say it isn't the right way.
2. "The game is meant to be played by wall bouncing"
False. If you look at what wall bouncing is, you will see that it wasn't even intended to be in the game. Wall bouncing takes the ability to slide into cover, and turns it into an easy way to slip and slide across the map. So it's not even a skill that the game teaches, it's a perversion of the cover system. I've got no problem with wall bouncers, but don't claim that I'm not playing the game right if I don't feel like sliding around everywhere.
There are some more, but I honestly cannot remember them off the top of my head. If this gets any feedback, I'll start writing more articles like this. Happy Gearsing.

IDV Solutions achieves gold, silver Microsoft competencies
Security and data visualization software firm earns distinction through demonstrated technology success and customer commitment.
Lansing, MI – May 15, 2013 -- IDV Solutions today announced that it has attained three Microsoft competencies, distinguishing itself within the top 1 percent of Microsoft's partner ecosystem. By earning Gold Business Intelligence competency, Gold Independent Software Vendor competency, and Silver Web Development competency, the company demonstrates its ability and commitment to meet customers' evolving needs in today's dynamic business environment.
To earn a Microsoft competency, partner companies must have staff who successfully complete exams to prove their level of technology expertise, resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals. For gold competencies, the company must designate each of these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. Partners must also pass technology and/or sales assessments, and submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects. For gold competencies, partners must also implement a yearly customer satisfaction study and, for many competencies, meet a revenue commitment.
IDV Solutions' Visual Fusion is data visualization software technology for building focused business intelligence apps that unite data from virtually any data source in a visual, interactive context for better insight and understanding. Visual Command Center, developed with Visual Fusion, is physical security and risk visualization (PSRV) software that delivers real-time visual intelligence. Visual Command Center unites activity and events from disparate data sources—including web feeds, social media, travel tracking, incident management, and physical security systems—into one comprehensive security picture.
"We're extremely proud of Visual Fusion and Visual Command Center. Our technology is an integral part of operations for both private and public-sector customers. These Microsoft competencies showcase our expertise and commitment in today's technology market," said Ian Clemens, Chief Technology Officer. "Our plan is to accelerate our customers' success by serving as technology advisors for their business demands."
"By achieving a portfolio of competencies, partners demonstrate deep expertise and consistent capability on the latest Microsoft technology," said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "These partners show true commitment to meeting customer technology needs today and into the future."

12 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married
- Saturday, January 07, 2012
It's now more common for marriages to fail than it is for them to last a lifetime. But you can still get married with the confidence that you'll enjoy the healthy, holy marriage God wants you to have if you invest time before getting married into asking wise questions. Making time to consider key questions will help you and your future spouse head in the right direction: one that leads toward God's purposes for both of you.
Here are some crucial questions to ask before you get married:
Are you willing to grow up? Your own maturity level, and that of your spouse, will determine how well you all can work together in marriage and how likely you all will be to stick with your relationship or give up on it. So each of you needs to honestly assess your current spiritual, emotional, social, and financial maturity by reflecting on issues such as how much self-control you each have, how much you respect authority, how much you can say "no" to some activities so you can say "yes" to those that are best for you, how much peace versus drama you have in your relationships with others, how often you keep your promises and follow through on commitments, whether or not you have a job that pays your bills, and whether or not you're in debt.
Are you "equally yoked"? It's never God's will for you to be yoked (tied together) in marriage with someone who's not a Christian, because a person who's not connected to Jesus can't head in the same direction as you can. Don't deceive yourself into thinking that you can pull an unbelieving spouse closer to Jesus; what happens instead in marriages between believers and unbelievers is that the unbelieving spouse pulls the believing spouse further away from Jesus. Realize that you can fall in love with anyone you happen to be attracted to, but that doesn't mean that you should marry them.
Have you talked about money? Disclose all of your financial information to the person you're considering marrying, and expect full disclosure from him or her, too. Talk about how each of you plans to earn, spend, save, give, and invest money if you get married, and why. If you discover that one or both of you doesn't currently have a healthy budget or healthy money management attitudes or habits, get help and make changes before getting married to save yourselves from having to go through tremendous stress afterward.
Will you tell the truth? You and your future spouse must tell each other the whole truth about the romantic relationships that you've each had with other people previously, regardless of how wild or mild they were. Share all of the details with each other honestly, listen to each carefully, and give each other mercy as God does if you have each sought His forgiveness for your sins and repented of any unhealthy behaviors.
Will you commit? Marriage as God designed it requires a lifetime commitment. So you and the person you're considering marrying should face your fears about that and discuss issues such as how you plan to handle disagreements and crises that may come up in your future marriage, such as illness and job loss. Determine whether or not both of you are willing to trade the lives you have now for a new life together, and whether or not you're willing to eliminate the option of divorce and keep turning to God for the strength to keep working on your marriage.
Are you compatible? Realize that just because you love someone doesn't mean that person is a good match for you. Honestly evaluate which personality traits and personal habits you can live with for many decades in a future marriage, and which will drive your marriage apart. Let go of any person who isn't truly compatible with you to save you both years of heartache.

Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.May 18th, 2012
I'm a photographer. Working is my playtime. Every details of it is my life.May 24th, 2012
My name is Rick Corbett. I am a graphite and colored pencil portrait artist. I am a self-taught artist. I am also a member of the Woburn Guild of Artists. I am inspired not only by other artists but from life itself. I am inspired by people, textures, smells, sounds, all my senses seem to come alive when I draw. My drawings take me on an artistic journey of self discovery. I feel my soul awaken when I draw. GOD has given me a gift and it's a gift I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's a gift I hope to use to capture the beauty that's in this World. I don't want my drawings to simply be pictures drawn on pieces of paper - I want my drawings to be a celebration of life. My portraits are like my children. I created them and I'm proud of them. I hope to change the way people "see" each other. Everyone is special in their own special way. People trul inspire me. I love to learn about people, I love to learn backgrounds, traditions, and cultures. I think this is why I became a portrait artist, it just seemed natural to me. I believe that every person is beautiful and I hope to bring out that beauty in each portrait I draw. I hope to bring out the person's soul. I thank GOD everyday for the gift HE has given me. It's a gift that I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's one I hope to bring everyone's inner beauty out. It's one that I hope to make us all learn something about ourselves. It's a gift I hope that will bring a smile to someone's face or bring joy in someone's life.Mar 13th, 2012

The time has finally arrived; the NBA's free agency period. Carmelo Anthony is the top free agent on the market this summer that's expected to change teams, and it'll come down to the Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and New York Knicks. Here's the Mavs' pitch for the reigning scoring champ.
Hey Carmelo,
It's been an anxious couple of weeks, but July 1 is finally here. You're a free agent. You finally have the opportunity to choose where you want to spend the next chapter of your career; one that will truly determine where you rank among the greats to ever play. It should be an exciting time for you.
That being said, you have a huge decision to make. You could either stay in New York, take the extra $30 million and spend the rest of your career as a Knick, or you can make the right choice. You can get out of New York, get away from a franchise that knows nothing but dysfunction and go for that championship you rightfully deserve.
That championship isn't coming with New York, Chicago, Houston or (heaven forbid) Los Angeles.
Your best chance to win your first championship is in Dallas with the Mavericks.
Make no mistake about it. You have some likable destinations to choose from. Chicago is the kind of suburban city you're looking for, being a shorter commute to your current home of New York. Los Angeles is what it is, and nothing else needs to be said there. Houston? It's not that bad of a city.
But let's be blunt: You're 30 years old and have only been out of the first round a handful of times in your NBA career, with only one trip to the conference finals. The city should be the furthest thing from your mind when choosing the next franchise you want to play with.
Even though we can assure you that Tyson Chandler won't have a problem selling you on the city of Dallas.
But from a basketball standpoint, if you're more concerned about winning, there's no doubt that the Mavs can give you what you need to win right now more than the other franchises you're set to meet.
Let's start with Chicago. The Bulls have been considered the front runners for your services. There's no reason to speculate otherwise. They have a great head coach in Tom Thibodeau, and two young stars in Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose. Plus, you're in the Eastern Conference, where you have a better chance to get to the NBA Finals.
But while the Bulls have been nothing short of stellar under Thibodeau, they're about to field a team with a Derrick Rose who has had knee surgeries, on both knees, in the last two years. Remember A'mare Stoudemire? Almost the exact same situation. What if D-Rose goes down again? You really think Noah is going to be the aide you in need in scoring? And who else do you have on that roster that can score? The Bulls will need to trade Taj Gibson to clear enough space to get you a respectable contract.
Doug McDermott? A rookie will be your No. 2 scoring option?
As great of an option Chicago is, they don't have enough resources that can carry you through an 82-game season, plus a run in the playoffs.
How about Houston? Oh, sure. It looks great on paper playing with James Harden and Dwight Howard. That would be a Big Three that rivals Miami's. But when it comes time to being the one who needs to put the team on his back, who's it going to be? This situation isn't like Miami. LeBron James was given the keys because Dwyane Wade couldn't carry the Heat anymore. You, Harden and Howard are superstars who need the ball. Are you that confident that Harden or Howard would be OK with that?
Plus, the ego-meter would be off the chart.
And who can the Rockets promise to surround you with? If you go to Houston, Chandler Parsons is gone. They're trying to trade Jeremy Lin. Who's left? Patrick Beverley? You need more than Dwight Howard and an inconsistent James Harden to get you a championship.
The Knicks? I don't need to tell you what you already know. Carmelo, keep this in mind: They turned Tyson Chandler into Jose Calderon, and Phil Jackson expects that to be the move that keeps you in New York. You want to go back to New York? Fine, but you better hope that Kevin Durant will team with you in 2016. If not, you'll live the rest of your life in misery.
The Lakers? You're not winning in L.A.
And then there are the Dallas Mavericks.
Mark Cuban is right. The Mavs can't offer you a max contract. They could, but even you wouldn't press a team to give you a max deal if it meant better things for the future.
Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson made the trade for Tyson Chandler to show you how serious they are about putting a championship team together in Dallas once again. Tyson may be older and may not be the same player since the 2011 championship run, but at least he gives Dallas the best chance to win those low-scoring games.
It's not like the low-scoring games would be needed with you in the lineup.
In Dallas, the Mavs can offer you a team that can not only make a deep playoff run this year, but a championship run. You have Tyson in the middle, an evolved Monta Ellis who can take his game to greater heights, and of course, Dirk Nowitzki. You fill any point guard in that lineup (maybe Devin Harris), and you have a starting five that would be one of the best in the league.
Rick Carlisle is one of the best coaches in the league. Most would say he's the second best right behind Gregg Popovich. Remember the first round of the playoffs? The Mavs were the only team to take the eventual champion San Antonio Spurs to seven games. If not for DeJuan Blair's kick and the Game 1 collapse, Dallas could've won that series. And maybe they would've been in the NBA Finals. Think about what Carlisle and the Mavs could do with you in the rotation.
Most importantly, coming to Dallas means this is your team. Dirk has been more than willing to take a step back and let someone else run the show. Dirk doesn't have many years left. But he's still an All-Star who can score 22 points per game. This would be your team for the next 5-7 years, and Dirk would be more than happy to defer to you as he nears the end of his career.
And if you're wondering about the future, they've got that covered, too. In 2015, how about getting someone like Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge or Marc Gasol? And the Mavs can even re-sign Tyson, have him come off the bench and get some other key pieces. Do you want to play with Rajon Rondo and another center instead? Dallas could make that happen for you, too.
The Western Conference is a crapshoot. Any team can win. That also includes the Dallas Mavericks. They're as good as any team in the West. You coming to Dallas puts the Mavs as, at worst, the third-best team in the West behind Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Even though you're on the third-best team, who's to say you can't be there in June competing for an NBA title?
Teams like Houston and Chicago can offer you the same prospects on winning, but what have they done lately? After winning the title in 2011, there were a couple of down years for the Mavs. Dallas remained patient, even after striking out on Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Deron Williams. Even when the Mavs finished 41-41 in 2012-13, when Dirk was injured, the Mavs barely missed out on the playoffs. That was a team that featured O.J. Mayo and Darren Collison, a year that most would like to forget.
Bottom line: Although this team isn't the Mavs of years past, they still contend, and they're still in the thick of things. Adding you to the mix puts them back at the top again.
So when you sit down with the Mavs' contingent on Wednesday, after meeting with Chicago and Houston, realize who you're meeting with. Carmelo, you're meeting with a group that's committed to winning, and bringing championships to a city that deserves it. You have the chance to turn Dallas into the next dynasty in the NBA. It's your team.
And hopefully, you make the right choice.

Besides accurately representing the brand, the logo also has to attract the consumer towards the food/beverage item being sold. Here are some excellent examples on how that can be achieved:

Local fire officials say the number of wildfires this year has been down compared to years past, and with spring just around the corner, the Crossroads area could enjoy a rather peaceful season to come.
ŌĆ£It's actually pretty surprising,ŌĆØ Howard County Volunteer Fire Chief Tommy Sullivan said. ŌĆ£Last year at this time, was a pretty slow year for us. However, this year we're seeing even fewer fires. The average right now is about one wildfire per week, which is pretty amazing.ŌĆØ
Sullivan attributes much of the calm to area residents being ŌĆ£fire wiseŌĆØ and not taking chances when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
ŌĆ£On the days when the humidity has dipped below 10 percent and the danger is really high, people seem to be playing it smart. I feel like that's really helped us a lot,ŌĆØ Sullivan said. ŌĆ£Right now, the fire danger level is severe, but it hasn't moved into the extreme level, so we've been pretty fortunate, all the way around.ŌĆØ
With just a little more than a week until spring, Sullivan said the Crossroads area could potentially enjoy an even longer stretch of good luck when it comes to wildfires.
ŌĆ£We're hoping spring will bring some rains,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£If we can make it until then without any major problems, we could be looking at a rather quiet start to the year. However, we're due for one more freeze between now and then, so we're not out of the woods yet.ŌĆØ
Sullivan said a freeze now would increase the danger of wildfires until the spring rains make their way into the Howard County area.
ŌĆ£If we get another freeze, then all of the vegetation that has greened-up recently will be killed off, providing more fuel for wildfires,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£However, the spring rains should help counter that. It's just going to be a matter of playing things safe in the meantime. It really comes down to folks being fire wise and not taking chances.ŌĆØ
Sullivan encouraged residents to do what they can to lessen the chance of their home being destroyed by a wildfire.
ŌĆ£One of the most important things they can do is clear at least a 50-feet area around their house. Personally, with the high winds we have out here in West Texas, I suggest a 100-feet circle,ŌĆØ Sullivan said. ŌĆ£Make sure the grass is scalped down as low as you can get it within that area, because fire can move really fast through it.
ŌĆ£Also, if you have trees, make sure they aren't touching. You don't want the fire to be able to jump from one tree or bush to the next.ŌĆØ

And if you do, by chance, find yourself struggling with drowning, then no life-saving or otherwise procedure or act should be allowed to be administered. You got yourself into this mess, you have to live with the consequences.
You should see drowning as a gift.
You, there with the sunglasses! You're just asking for it.
Also, if you were forcibly pushed into the water, don't worry. If it was a legitimate pushing, your body will find a way to shut out all the water and survive the drowning.

Hi there! RAPID FIRE QUESTION TIME! >8D
I'm 23 now, I was 17 when I first cosplayed. My first cosplay was a black shirt, jeans, a Naruto headband and a poor-choice of wig… needless to say it was pretty lame XD EVERYBODY POOPS! Some people begin with really awesome cosplays and they improve from there, and some people start with really awful cosplay and improve from that point too. It's like anything else. Some people come into it better equipped in their knowledge of crafts/sewing/art/hair etc. But that doesn't mean that people coming into the hobby empty handed can't be making the most amazing cosplays known to man one day!
Or maybe you'll be like me and just be forever mediocre, in which case we can take off our pants and PARTY cause ain't nobody's gonna judge us.
attractive, and wouldn't mind me going through with the transformation… So I've kinda kept my feelings about being so.. gender confused(?) to myself for quite some time, and I don't know how to bring it up to my friends again without the fear of me getting touched at if I DO make the transition.. I know that since the years have passed, and I've gotten newer friends, but I don't know if they will TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME if I become a different gender.. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm stuck
Hello there!
I'm sorry to hear about your unsupportive parents :(. My parents are unsupportive so I waited until I was living on my own before I began my transition. This is a viable option, and it might be a good one for you as well if you're having doubts/are unsure.
However you must keep in mind that a person saying your attractive is not some sort of sexual threat or come-on. You also won't change much in terms of looks, so if they find you attractive now then they will after transition, or if they don't find you attractive now then not much will change after transition except for your voice and facial hair. It's more or less misleading to think that you will be transformed into a man version of yourself. Rather, your body will masculinize but you will still be you.
If you honestly fear that your friends will take advantage of you sexually post-transition then I think it might be reasonable to consider getting new friends now. I wouldn't want to be around people who I thought capable of that kind of behaviour, especially since it seems to bother you a great deal.
That being said, take time to explore your gender. You're trying to find a place of comfort here. Whatever your default is, that person you are when you go home and relax in your room, THAT is you. Do what feels right to you, what is sustainable long term for you and what you feel comfortable with :)
Best of luck!
I'll always remember that video :3 In fact I have the audio of it on my iPod, I adore that performance :)
Tell Mae that I'm indented to her for sending that to me! I wish I had known at Cos and Effect so that I could have gone up and thanked her/met her in person! I hope that I get to see her again soon, tell her I said hi and send me love her way!! ;)
It was really awkward and really un-romantic.
Hello Anon,
I'm sorry that you've had to endure that torment and pain, no one should ever be subjected to abuse. Child abuse is unforgivable, and in a situation involving child abuse it is 100% the fault of the abuser, you did nothing to warrant or deserve this. I can't say what I would do in your situation, because I have never been in that situation and therefore it is one that is unimaginable to me. I can, however, tell you what I know from working in a school where I had to be aware of how to deal with a child abuse situation.
First of all, you are not alone. Organizations exists solely to help victims of child abuse and these organizations are there to keep you safe. Start with your school, there should be a counsellor at your school or at the very least a teacher you can talk to. These people should be aware of the proper channels to go through/organizations to call in your area that are equipped to deal with this. If you fear going home, tell your school that. If there is a friend you can stay with or even a relative, stay with them, especially if you fear for your safety. If there is no friend or relative you can stay with, then there are channels for this as well such as foster care, safe houses etc. If your school cannot handle this then there is also the option of going to a youth centre where there are youth workers who are trained to assist in you situation.
You are not worth nothing. You are worth as much as every other human being on this planet and you deserve respect and safety. This is an immensely scary and dark situation, but there are people here to help you. Even if you feel that you have no one, I'm here anytime and I'll do my best to help you through this.

It's funny you'd send this now because I was just talking to a girl from Georgia who wanted us to come down ;) Given the opportunity I would love to go to Momocon! However, as with our other long-distance cons, we would have to be invited for us to manage to go. You could go to Momocon's website or to their Facebook ( I assume they have a website, not so sure about Facebook) and request that they invite us as guests :) you never know!
I'm really honoured that you're interested in seeing FDP at Momocon, thank you so much! The sentiment in and of itself means a great deal! Thank you!
Hello Amber!
Keep doing whatever makes you feel comfortable. As long as you aren't claiming to have made something that you didn't (and it sounds like you are definitely not doing that) then there is no harm or foul here. People that are criticizing you are likely the same people that would criticize you on a cosplay you made by pointing out details that they perceive as being wrong. There will always be haters. All you can do is make sure that you are giving credit where credit is due and having fun with it.
In addition, no cosplay is 100% handmade. I've yet to hear of a cosplayer who wefts their own wig and very few cosplayers make their own shoes. Most cosplayers use a mix of bought and made costume pieces!
You're doing nothing wrong. And I'd love to see your Hinata cosplay someday :)
I had this really awesome moment where I realized that I was more muscular than pre-serum Steve and that just fulfilled all my dreams XD
But yes :3 Tim Drake then Steve, tis gonna be a comic-booky Fall that's for sure!
Thank you! I'm glad that you think so! ^_^
*** Time Drake is Tim Drake's more complex Time Lord cousin
2/2: It's been awhile since I liked someone this way and I'm really worried I'll screw it up. So, I guess any advice on how to talk to him and make sure I don't end up looking like an idiot or ignorant would be really helpful! Thank you!!
Hello! First thing to keep in mind in this situation is that transmen are MEN. Therefore, to say that you are a lesbian and are interested in him might confuse him, or even hurt him, because he could perceive that as you perceiving or labelling him as something other than male. Of course, there are some transmen who identify as trans so it might really be worthwhile to get to know this guy and his particular identity.
Approach it as you would any other relationship. If you've only ever dated girls in the past, beware that this will not be like dating a girl. This guy may not have breasts, and if he does he might not want them acknowledged of touched. He might not have a penis and he might want his genitalia to be treated as/referred to as a penis regardless. Of he may not even want his genitalia acknowledged at all.
There are so many variations of transmen and transwomen out there that it's hard to tell you what this guy may expect/require from you. The best way to go about this is to get to know his identity and to respect his identity.
Best of luck ;)
Anime Revolution ended a few days ago and I'm still riding that con high! In my opinion it was a stellar con with a really clean and professional atmosphere/vibe. It was the con's first year, but to me it ran (and looked) like a much more experienced con. I've heard a lots of criticism of the con, but not from the people I ran into at the con itself. Everyone I came across seemed to be in really good spirits and had a positive opinion of the con. I know that there are some tensions are Vancouver cons at the moment, but in my opinion the more the better! I'm not going to side with one con or another, to me that'd be silly, I want all the cons to succeed cause if my hometown was con central than I'd never be bored!!! WHICH IS AWESOME!
I want to send a huge thank you to all of the people who attended our panels. They were all either full-capacity or over-capacity (like the Wig Panel, sorry to the people who had to sit in the aisle or stand in the back!). My only real issue with how the con was setup was the panel rooms, which were in the same space but separated by a curtain. This meant that, for most of the panels, either the first half or the second half was a war of microphone volume with the other panel that was operating. A HUGE thanks to "Name that Anime Tune" on Sunday for playing your music at a low enough level so that our panel wasn't interrupted. I thought that was a really rad thing to do and really respectful so thank you so much!
Cost for the con was rather high, so I'm speaking from a privileged position in that I didn't have to pay for my badge. I would, however, pay full price for the con next year if it came up. I really love the downtown venue, so I don't mind paying extra for it. I also really enjoyed the guest selection. The Sailor Moon voice actor group was really popular and a cool thing to get together for the con. Seeing and meeting That Guy With the Glasses was awesome because I love his work. And Jessica Nigri was also very popular and, as it turns out, is a very nice person :)
The dealers room and artist alley were really well set up, especially the one aisle that was set up like a Japanese festival!
Also, the AR staff were nothing but accommodating and polite to us. The only issue I had with staff were the convention centre staff who were frustrating at times but that's usually the case in convention centres (happens at Sakura Con too).
All in all my experience at Anime Revolution was a positive one, and I'm excited to see how the convention will grow considering the impressive first year. This was my experience, so disagreements are sure to come up, however I can only speak to what I experienced first hand and this is it :)
It was more of a preventative measure than anything. Youtube will block some videos with certain music from being uploaded. Furthermore companies are becoming more proactive in their protection of their music, so video that include copyright music can be taken down. What's more concerning is that they can be taken down and you can get a strike on your account which can lead to suspension. Just because it hadn't yet happened to the FDP account doesn't mean it wouldn't have happened, and since we had more than 3 videos with copyright music we chose to err on the side of caution.
SO! Vimeo exists: https://vimeo.com/user9598094/videos
I've been training for a Captain America cosplay, and Val and Nova have had Avengers up their sleeves since we saw the movie together. It's a cosplay that I'm almost comfortable enough with my upper body size to do, now it's all about making the cosplay itself XD
Hey there! 8D
Thank you so much for coming to our panels! I'm stoked to hear that you enjoyed them ;) we're trying to improve them with each con we go to :3
Speaking of other cons, we'll be at Cos and Effect (UBC) this weekend! Then after that we jet to England for Alcon and later in the Fall we'll be at Aki Con in Washington :3
Hope to see you there!! (not so much expecting to see you at Alcon, since it's a continent way but YOU NEVER KNOW! 8D)
Robin/Tim Drake is on my to cosplay list ;) might be happening very very sooon 8D

Man Utd boss Ferguson asks men to challenge for the treble
2/28/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Sir Alex Ferguson has asked the backing of his whole squad in order to challenge for the treble this season. The Manchester United manager believes his side is capable of winning the FA Cup, Premier League and the Champions League.
With a comfortable 12-point cushion over archrivals and defending champions Manchester City, the Red Devils have all but won the Premier League. Their next big challenge is defeating Real Madrid at Old Trafford in four days' time. Manchester United are also scheduled for tough game against Chelsea at Old Trafford in the quarterfinal stage of the FA Cup.
The Premier League seems to be in hand for Manchester United, but the same cannot be said about the Champions League. After embarrassing Barcelona at home, Real Madrid are prepared to visit Manchester United for the second leg of the round of 16 tie.
The Old Trafford boss has asked his men to buck up for the treble challenge. Sir Alex Ferguson, who won a treble in 1999, wants his men to stay concentrated on winning the treble and make the most out of every opportunity. The Scotsman believes mental strength and diligence is one of the keys to winning the treble.
"In 1999, I left Paul Scholes out of the quarter-final against Inter Milan yet he was the one who scored the goal that got us through. I left him out of the semi-final because I couldn't risk him and Roy Keane together as they were both on yellow cards. He accepted it graciously, came on, got booked and missed the final anyway. What did he do? He didn't let it affect him. He went on to become one of the greatest players this club has ever had," said Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he is aware of the tough schedule ahead of Manchester United. The Scotsman also confessed he was facing squad rotation problems.
"It is very difficult to rotate the squad at the moment. They all wanted to play against Real Madrid and there were a lot of disappointed players. That was fantastic. It is a measure of their own confidence in themselves. But we had a chat and I said at this club, in this situation, anything can happen on the run-in. Players can all of a sudden find themselves playing in a final or an important league game," Sir Alex Ferguson added.

Jennifer Aniston talks fitness at the release party of her friend's new yoga book. Jennifer is a big believer in the cheat day but it must always be in moderation.
Kyle Richards of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has set some new goals for herself this summer: 1) To have a body that looks like Jennifer Aniston's body, and 2) to have another baby… Click the pic for the full story.
Are those "cupping" marks on Jennifer Aniston's back?!? This picture just came from the red carpet for the release of Aniston's Lifetime movie, Call Me Crazy…. What do you think? Cupping? Click the pic for more!
Sorry television fans, creator of Friends clearly states that there is NO reunion show in the works.
Happy Birthday, Jennifer Aniston!
Happy Birthday indeed, Jennifer Aniston!
Happy 44th Birthday to Jennifer Aniston!!! 44 and still crazy beautiful!!
In an upcoming documentary called $ellebrity, Jennifer Aniston was asked about Kim Kardashian and her family on how they choose to live their life. Jen's responded by saying, "If that's how they choose to earn their living, more power to them". That's definitely one way to look at it.
Here they are! In case you missed it, here's your list of winners from the People's Choice Awards last night!
Hard to say why this Tabloid cover was printed. Maybe the magazine wanted to be first with the "news" that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant? As far as everyone else knows, Jen is NOT pregnant, but hey, doesn't mean you can't print it… we guess…
Oh, Star magazine… you do love this story. Once again Star is claiming that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant and once again Jennifer's rep has denied the rumor.
