Whether you're planning to install a brand-new bathroom or update an existing one, understanding the different types of bathroom layouts is a key first step.
The first question to ask when considering bathroom layouts is, "whose bathroom is this?" There are several different types of bathrooms, each with unique layout challenges—and determining what combination of family members and guests will use the bathroom is an important starting point.
For a master bathroom, combining efficiency, elegance and comfort is often the goal. Two people will normally be using the space, and there will need to be enough storage space for their respective accessories. Additionally, master bathrooms often have a unique design element: because they're frequently located inside or adjacent to a master bedroom, they often mirror the design of the bedroom. This isn't a requirement, but a departure that's too radical can have a jarring effect. Other important considerations for master bedrooms include tub or shower size and placement (a too-big or too-small tub is a common mistake, so pay special attention to this element), and the configuration of double sinks and cabinets (this is a key consideration—you don't want to be climbing over each other for the toothpaste).
Guest/family or half bathrooms may be used frequently by multiple family members and guests alike, so efficient use of space is often the chief consideration. Design-wise, if the guest bathroom is "standalone" or located in a hallway, it won't need to follow the lead of a bedroom, and it can be a good place to experiment with unique design approaches, from bold colors and patterns to eclectic fixtures and furniture.

Introduction to Game Server Web Hosting
According to the Wikipedia, Game Server is a remotely or locally run server used by game clients to play multiplayer games. Most video games played over the Internet operate through a connection to a game server. These game servers are offered by the Game Server Providers, companies that lease dedicated game servers. Presently, in the web hosting industry, game server web hosting is one of the fastest growing segments.
Game Servers are of two types, Listen Servers and Dedicated Servers. Listen server are usually used in situation in which the server typically runs in the same process as the game client, allowing a player to both host and participate in the game. Listen servers are mostly operated by individuals, often in LAN situations rather than over the internet. Dedicated servers are the servers which can be run by individuals, but are usually run on dedicated hardware located in data centers, providing more bandwidth and dedicated processing power. Mostly, for hosting game servers for most PC-based multiplayer games dedicated servers are used.
Unlike traditional business hosting, Game hosting is far more demanding. It requires significant amounts of specially formatted server space to meet the demands of many players choosing one game at a single time. There are literally millions of consumers around the world who opt to play games online, which all translates to a need for reliably organized and dedicated service.
Heavy traffic is not the only issue that should be addressed when looking for a game server web hosting service however. Easy to use control panels which can help the site owner automate and organize many processes is also something that should be considered an absolute "must". This is because the online gaming environment requires a lot of customer support and service, and also many applications and software updates and fixes which can only be managed with a good control panel feature.
Additionally, the amount of space required to handle the needs of the gaming software may limit the number of games available and the gamer server web hosting company selected. The games are each assigned a special "node" on the hosting equipment and each node has a limited number of "slots", which translate to the total number of players who can access the game at any given time.
The best contemporary game server web hosting companies make about ten to fifteen nodes available on each server – which is a good illustration of the kind of space the games and functions require. This also introduces the need for reporting features that quickly let the website owner know which of their games is receiving the most attention or usage. Such information is critical in expanding offerings or eliminating a game that may be taking up to fifteen percent of a company's server space.
Hosting providers usually supply their clients with game server hosting services that include the most technologically advanced servers and network connections, very often with the preinstalled software to start online gaming business immediately. The most popular games using the technology of distributed servers are: Doom 3, Medal of Honor, Halo, Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Quake 3, etc.
Many online gamers also like to discuss the games they are playing and to socialize with fellow gamers, because of this it is important to see if the game server web hosting company provides applications such as chatting or forums which will add to the enjoyment of the customers.
Finally, though the game server web hosting sites are relatively new, they still require as much security and updating as traditional server equipment. Because of this it is important to inspect each company before making a final choice.

Bloody English (MM Paranormal/ Vampire Romance/ Erotic)
Samuel King is an Amish private detective who has lived amongst the English in Independence, Missouri for sixteen years. When he is hired to find a missing accountant, Morton Clark, Samuel's self-enforced solitary lifestyle is completely disrupted—the case unexpectedly leads him to the very sexy, very flawed Alistair Simms. Samuel is overwhelmed by his attraction to Alistair, and resisting the vampire is no simple task. Even for a chaste man.
Alistair, a 154 year-old vampire and recluse with familial ties to the kidnapped Morton, has spent his undead years caring for each generation of his brother's children. To compound his guilt over the abduction of his great-nephew, Alistair is passionately drawn to Samuel. The detective's innocence, purity, and physical perfection stir emotions in him he didn't believe he was still capable of feeling. Being immortal was easier when he didn't care.
For two men who have spent lifetimes avoiding relationships and entanglements, finding Morton will be the ultimate test of faith, love, and sacrifice.
The cull only happens every 80-100 years.

Limited edition 1200 piece run!
This Spyderco Sprint Run Dragonfly 2 is made with Aogami Super Blue steel for an extremely sharp, long-lasting cutting edge. The blade has a Super Blue steel core between layers of 420J1 stainless steel laminate. When you look at the blade you will see a line running parallel to the cutting edge on the grind where the two steels meet. One of the most obvious advantages of using a stainless steel laminate is it's resistance to oxidation and stains where high carbon steels, like the Aogami Super Blue, must be properly maintained to avoid corrosion and pitting.
Aogami Super Blue is produced exclusively by Hitachi Metals at their plant in Japan. They use high quality iron-sand found only there to create different grades of white and blue steels. The steel itself isnt blue or white in color; instead the designation refers to the color of paper the raw steel comes wrapped in when delivered to Hitachi.
The Spyderco Dragonfly 2 is a second-generation knife that has undergone some stellar improvements thanks to the C.Q.I.-Constant Quality Improvement process employed by Spyderco. The Dragonfly2 maintains the same blade and handle geometry with leveraging points that make the Dragonfly cut and feel like a much larger knife.
The Dragonfly 2 has a full flat grind and now has jimping at the choil and the spine for better control and feel. The handle on the second generation Dragonfly uses Spyderco's patented Bi-Directional Texturing on the fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) and has a reversible tip-up wire clip for superb carry characteristics. The Back Lock steel frame ensures a tight lock with solid performance.

Carroll County sits in southwestern Virginia in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in the Blue Ridge Highlands region of southwest Virginia. The North Carolina state line forms the southern boundary of the county.
Named for Charles Carroll, the longest-lived signer of the Declaration of Independence, the county is primarily agricultural, but its roots go deep into the music of the mountains. Carroll County is one of the major counties along The Crooked Road: Virginia's Heritage Music Trail. Jam sessions are offered somewhere almost every night of the week, and admission is usually free. And the town of Galax is partly in Carroll County. It is the home of the oldest, continuous Old Fiddlers Convention that takes place every August.
Some 25 miles of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway runs through the southern section of the county with spectacular overlooks as well as nature preserves and New River Trail State Park.
The Carroll County Courthouse in Hillsville was the scene of a tragic shootout in 1912 that caught the attention of the nation, and story tours are offered by the historical society.

Grivel Black Hole 5-Pack The Black Hole by Grivel features good protection for the sharp and delicate tips of ice screws during transport. New design that fits various diameters of screws. The bottom of each cap is pierced to release any water and dampness that could cause rust, a problem with the old caps. Whilst using the screws the protection can be hooked onto the screws handle where it doesn't risk being lost. This is a solution to two problems: rust on the blades of screws and losing the caps whilst out.

Dear Georgia Public School Teachers:
The conventional wisdom about Georgia politics has been that the state's changing demographics will eventually bring about a change in its political orientation.
The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
There were some important political lessons that should have been learned from last week's runoff election.
The criteria for a failed state are pretty specific: Loss of authority over the use of force, loss of the authority to make collective decisions, inability to provide public services, and the inability to interact with the international community.
In 1997, Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term where I served until 2002. It was a rewarding experience and I am proud of the good things we accomplished at the commission.
In less than two weeks I'll celebrate my 60th birthday. Just for giggles, I perused some 60th birthday cards and, well, the outlook suddenly seems sort of grim. The creepiest of all pictured an empty deck chair on an emptier beach and contained these heartwarming words: "A sunrise is beautiful but so is a sunset. /For turning 60 today don't harbor any regret. / The autumn of your life will be so serene./ You will be the happiest that you have ever been."
In less than a month, students will be reporting for fall semester classes at the public colleges that make up the state's University System.
"I have gotten bad news and am much the worse for it.
For those who have endured Georgia's longest runoff election ever, the July 22 finish line is finally coming into view.
As child, the doctor came to our house if I was ill. Things change. I remember the day I got sick, and my parents bundled me into their car and drove to the doctor's office to see him., Today no one expects a doctor to make house calls.
With the July 22 runoff elections fast approaching, I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located in Greater Garfield, Ga., to get his thoughts on the various races and to see who he thinks will make it to the finals of the November general election and who will be eliminated this round.
The cellphone video told the story. A U.S. Postal Service van was parked beside a ravine. The driver was systematically taking packages from the back of the vehicle and tossing them down the hill. All in a day's work.
Georgia will soon be losing one of its most entertaining political personalities in U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, the Republican from Athens.
SAN DIEGO - This Independence Day weekend, memory takes me back to something my father said during a Fourth of July celebration many years ago.
For the past few months, I have heard the same question nearly everywhere I go.
Last week, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jason Carter shared via this column his vision for public education in Georgia.
With all of the attack ads running on TV this election season, Georgians have no doubt had their fill of pessimism and negativity.
Human nature has changed little over time, but human behavior has. We no longer burn heretics at the stake or torture animals for sport ... well, not the way we did in the past. At least today we pay lip service to social justice and the rule of law.
As a father and a school superintendent, I have an extremely personal interest in the state of our schools. I also have a great respect for the democratic process: the opportunity for vigorous debate and the potential created by new and innovative ideas.
I have asked the two major gubernatorial candidates to talk to Georgia public school teachers about their respective education platforms.

Again, again!
Come As You Are by Girl Crisis
Originally by Nirvana
(via twentyfourbit)
Girl Crisis is an all-female supergroup based in Brooklyn, which includes members of Chairlift, Au Revoir Simone, Class Actress, and more. As the Acrylics' Molly Shea described to Brooklyn Vegan last year, the ensemble "cover[s] famous songs in a mostly a capella arrangement and Bek Andersen films the performance on super 8 film." Over the past year, their various cast of performers have adapted songs by the likes of Jefferson Airplane, Sade, and Chris Isaak.
Now Girl Crisis have taken on Nirvana classic "Come As You Are" (via a RT by Sarah of Cat on my Chest). For diehard grunge fans, this decidedly non-abrasive version may not be their cup of tea, but both the careful arrangement and Andersen's haunting cinematography add unexplored dimensions to the song, which make this video well worth three minutes of your time.
Watch Ilirjana Alushaj, Elizabeth Harper, Annie Hart, Jane Herships, Jessica Lauretti, Caroline Polachek, Erika Spring-Forster, and Natalie Weiss sing the third track off Nevermind above.
Love it.
"Ghostical Love" - The Jellyfish Bandits
if tonight perchance I die
I hope that I
am a ghost undiminished
because I have business unfinished
my skin turns to indigo
I'll watch you through your window
I hope you don't think that's creepy
it's just that you complete me
you can see me in your dreams
fly over drive-in movie screens
call this cloud our meeting place
lie on our backs and stare through space
I can't hold you
you just fall through
I know this isn't right
I know that this is wrong
but would you just die?
come on hurry along

Hi, I want to know when I book my port excursion, how is the payment and when my credit card will be charge for the excursion?
- Asked by Linet from Puerto Rico on 10/29/2013
Ahoy Linet!
It is wonderful to hear from you again! When you reserve your Port Adventures online, you will not be charged until you are onboard for your sailing. You can stop by Guest Services at any time to check your balance or get a print out of your current charges. You should see your charges on the credit card statement you receive after your cruise vacation.
Thank you for continuing to use the Moms Panel, Linet! It is always a pleasure assisting you with your plans!

"We're going to make an epic picture on the scope of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY with the kind of soundtrack that that film had, only using contemporary rock and roll. It's even conceivable that the Surfer might have a chant or a fanfare made up of one thousand electric guitars…doing the Silver Surfer has always been a dream of mine, and now it's going to be realized." —Lee Kramer, would-be SILVER SURFER producer (and Olivia Newton-John boyfriend), quoted in "Cosmic Silver" by James Burns, Mediascene Prevue #42, Sept/Oct 1980

Subject for my thesis in Interactive Sound? 3 month build/create+write-essay
Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
It's time for my bachelor thesis in computer science.
I am thinking of a subject for this thesis. It's a 3 month essay within the field of "interactive sound design" (must be about sound interaction). Doesn't have to be a psysical thing, can be a software too. or a maxmsp project.
my keywords to help you to help me:
interactive, wiimote, sound, design, maxmsp, java, processing, arduino, ps3 move, eyetoy, music, instrument, motion sensors, innovative
Any of this, combined or not, will make your brain go wild and give me some ideas of what i should write about, and create/build.
hmm, one of the best parts of max is coming up with the idea, i suggest you do some thinking yourself, it'll mean a whole lot more to build your project, rather than someone else's.
Perhaps it would help if we suggested additional keywords; personally, in the field of digital musical instruments, I always look out for:
expressivity, engagement, inclusive, tangible, tactile……..
Haptics is always fascinating. Useful is another keyword :) I think that an interactive system that creates the illusion that the user is NOT separated from the sound by a computer is one of the holy grails of interactive multimedia.

text: The only time someone gets an abortion at 8.5 months is when their life or health is in danger or the fetus is no longer viable. Like, really. Pregnant people don't get 90% of the way through a pregnancy and then say "Wait, nevermind, I'm not into it." Stop putting so much weight into this non-issue or acting like it is at all relevant to the ACTUAL abortion debate and fight for AFAB people's reproductive rights. Seriously.

…with no exceptions for the health of the mother or for victims of rape or incest — and with the express purpose of provoking a court challenge. Does the South Dakota legislature really want to force a 12-year-old whose dad or uncle couldn't keep it in his pants to have a baby? Does it want a severely diabetic woman who has a birth control failure to put her life at risk? Apparently so. In an ideal world, we might not need access to abortion services. But in an ideal world, we'd have comprehensive sex education, easy access to safe and reliable birth control, no diseases or conditions that threaten the life or health of a pregnant woman, no rapists and no child molesters, and no fetal death or catastrophic damage. But we don't live in that world.
Apparently, the South Dakota legislature doesn't care. It wants a fight. W has the Supreme Court his supporters have always wanted, and they're banking on overturning Roe v. Wade. Can Griswold be far behind? After all, a lot of the wingnuts consider contraception to be a form of abortion. We may end up with a government that insists on wives having sex with their husbands whenever they ovulate. Otherwise, they're aborting a potential life, right?
I pray that none of my daughters will ever be in need of abortion services. I'll do my best to teach them how to protect themselves. Meanwhile, I guess I'd better start stockpiling condoms and store away a couple of morning-after pills before they disappear from the pharmacy shelves.

Roubaix (French pronunciation: [ʁu.bɛ]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. It is located between the cities of Lille and Tourcoing.
The Gare de Roubaix railway station offers connections to Lille, Tourcoing, Antwerp, Ostend and Paris.
Notable is La Piscine art gallery, which, as the name implies, is located in the old municipal swimming pool. Discobolos (international artist Wim Delvoye's) is the first work of modern art, ordered by the inhabitants, with the Comité de quartier de l'Hommelet, an association of citizens.
On 16 May 1967, Roubaix was the venue of the final live performance in the career of singer Jacques Brel.
Ankama Games has its head office in Roubaix.[1]
OVH has 6 datacentres in Roubaix.
Roubaix is the finish of the Paris–Roubaix cycling classic, one of the most prestigious[2] events on the cycling calendar. The 259.5-kilometre (161.2 mi) race from Compiègne to Roubaix includes almost 50 km (31 mi) of cobbles.
One of the longest distance walking races in the world also takes place each year in Roubaix. Since 1953 the televised 'Roubaix 28 hours' regularly sees elite endurance athletes from dozens of countries aiming to complete the longest distance possible within the 28 hour time limit. The current record is over 255 km (158 mi), with many each year completing more than 200 km (124 mi).

During recent years, large-scale investigations into global climate change and other highly visible issues have taken the lion's share of declining research funds. At the same time, funding for basic research in such core disciplines as physical oceanography, biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, and marine geology has dwindled.
Global Ocean Science examines how the largest U.S. ocean research programs, such as the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), have significantly contributed to our understanding of the oceans. The book examines the impact of these programs on research, education, and collegiality within this diverse scientific community and offers recommendations to help ensure a vital future for ocean science, including:
Specific results of the programs such as data collected, conceptual breakthroughs, information published, demonstrable use of program products, incorporation of new knowledge into education, and contribution to policymaking and decisionmaking by federal agencies.
Mechanisms for efficiently identifying knowledge gaps and research questions, strategic planning of research programs, managing competitive proposals, securing needed resources, and more.
This practical book will be welcomed by ocean investigators, users of oceanographic research findings, policymakers, administrators, educators, and students.

That title portmanteau didn't work at all, did it.
Anyway, I'm overjoyed to announce that I've got a story, "A Girl," in a Fifty-Two Stories anthology, Forty Stories. I'm accompanied by the likes of Jess Walter, Roxane Gay, Blake Butler, Elizabeth Crane, and lots of other amazing writers. It's available as a free download at the link I provided, and also as a free e-book on your e-reader of choice. I love Cal Morgan a lot and it's an honor that he included something of mine. Check it out!
This past weekend, I got to participate in the BOOK FORT at the Pitchfork Music Fest, which was a blast. Here is photographic proof:
I drank a lot of sweet tea from Wishbone and I read as meanly as I could. Then, I met Nat, who plays in the Dirty Projectors and is a huge indie lit fan. Somehow he had heard of me and had come to see me read! It was a delight talking to him and I hope he likes Daddy's and all the other books I foisted on him.
Upcoming: stories in Paper Darts and Uncanny Valley!

If you're a fan of the Upper Peninsula and all that it offers, than Escanaba is the place to be. Not only is it home to outstanding fishing and hiking, but also to some of the U.P.'s home-grown businesses like Sayklly's Chocolates and Marble Arms. Escanaba features a more temperate climate than much of the Upper Peninsula, giving it a year-round splendor, though winter activities do not suffer and ice fishing "shanty towns" sprout up across Bay de Noc. The city is home to the Escanaba Eskymos as well as Bay College.

Brian Martucci
Wednesday, September 17, 2014

Prussia X Reader
Warning: So OOC, Yet you clicked it. Now you want to read it don't you QvQ?
Also. Make sure you got some tissues ;_; I nearly cried while writing //shot
As you walked down the empty hall hearing nothing but your soaked feet drag along your exhausted self you stopped at you class room and open the door seeing nothing but shocked eyes and giggly faces.
Lets just say, as you were on your way to school it started pouring hard on you all of a sudden.
You sighed heavily hearing few mocking voices and sat right down at your seat next to the muggy window hearing the rain mock you as well.
Letting out an exhausted sigh getting used to the 'everyday' Schedule. You opened your bag seeing nothing but damped wet paper falling out your notebook from the rain.
Luckily, the bell rung and the next period you had was lunch, Or maybe not so lucky
You forgot that too.
As you got out you seat you ran you hand threw you (h/c) bangs and walked out the class room you herd steps behind you.
"Vhy so late (f/n)?" You swayed your head to the side glancing at your dear good friend Gilbert along with Antonio and Francis.
"Overslept." You turned you head back walking away from them.
"Your always so late chica, What's wrong?" You herd concerned in there voices, You didn't want to tell them and you probably thought they would act different towards you or just make fun.
"Overslept." You repeated yourself again with more ignorance in your tone of voice.
They knew you were mad. Yet they still cared.
As you walked away from the group of friends you felt your heart drop to your stomach.
Just getting the feeling they cared made you kind of sad, wondering why do they or what if they just backstab you?
Antonio and Francis frowned with concern and soon glanced at Gilbert.
"Vhat..?" The albino wasn't quite sure where this was going.
"Ohonhon~ Someone's going to have to make sure (f/n) is alright" Francis said winking at Gilbert.
"Si, I'm pretty sure she'll be surprised you really care" Tony smiled back at Francis.
Soon the snowed white hair man understood what they were talking about and his cheeks began to heat up quickly with his eyes widening in shock.
"How did you know !?" He shouted at them nearly causing everyone to glance at them.
Antonio and Francis smirked at each other and looked at the confused boy.
"It's pretty Obvious~ Honhon.."
"Even when compliment her, you blush so hard tha--"
"OK OK, JA I GET IT." Gilbert ignored them feeling his cheeks cool down and glanced the other way feeling Gilbird pop out his hoodie.
The little ball of yellow flew towards your direction making loud chirping noises.
Gilbert looked confused narrowing his eyes to the side.
"Ok fine."
Francis and Antonio smiled in approval.
A loud struck of thunder caused everyone to stop at what they where doing.
"Oh gosh"
"Did you hear that?"
"I hope there's no lighting."
Gilbert herd loud chirping noises from the end of the hall and sighed heavily.
"I'll be back" He walked down towards the hall leaving his two friends behind.
His red burying eyes widened in shock. As he store down at the garbage.
Your book bag was covered in dirt and papers. He knew it was yours. He knew something happened to you. He felt his stomach knot up causing a terrible questions wonder threw his head.
He eyes couldn't go any wider- he spotted a bloody tissue in your bag and pulled it out. It was your hanker shift. Every student was given one. And your signature was on it.
A loud clack noise was made, nearly causing him to flinch. He stuffed the hanker shift in his hoodie and looked out the doors seeing the rain fall down, making the same mocking sounds earlier.
Gilbird sat right on the handle.
B-bump, B-bump, B-bump
'(f/n) Where did you go
He put his hoodie over his head for protection, sat his book bag down, and swung open the doors.
Not even five seconds passed and he was covered head-to-toes in rain water.
Gilbird flew onto his shoulder nuzzling into his neck, he felt the thick mud that was dirt a feel hours go climb onto his feet slowing him down.
"(f/n) !" As he shouted your name loudly he herd a loud splash.
How can he hear that? He's no where near the pool, or is that where it's coming from..?
Something was pulling him towards you; Or trying to get his attention.
He ran fast as he could to the community center were all the students would take swimming lessons or go there for the summer.
He felt like he was losing his mind. It was terrifying for him.
He soon saw, or thought he saw you standing by the entrance gate pulling on the on it harshly.
Not being able to see clearly he wiped his eyes feeling the soak water fall off him and quickly looked up.
You weren't there.
It's been thirty minutes since Gilbert lost track of you, his heart rate couldn't go any faster. He checked the locker rooms, the pools on the outside, the bathrooms. He missed about a period just to find you. He really did care.
The albino boy swung open the door for the inside pools and panted heavily. He rain his hand threw the soak wet snowy hair he had and got back up.
He attention was caught by a sound of someone or SOMETHING being dumped into the water.
His soaked body looked up weakly and began to walk.
Gilbird flew right out of his hoodie and started going near the seven feet pool. He sat by the ledge pointing at the water.
The thoughts that swam threw his head was the thoughts he didn't want to be real.
He collapse to the ground harshly.
Feeling like he was about to tear his knees into two.
There your were, lifeless in the bottom of the pool with some-sort of metal attached to your leg.
"Gilbird ! Go get help, Now" He shouted with nothing but concern in his voice.
The yellow bird flew right out the window chirping the loudest as he can. Gilbert swung of the red hoodie he had and kicked off his shoes, although it didn't really matter since half of his body was already half wet.
[Your P.O.V.]
I can't stand it. I didn't want this. As long as everyone is happy I'm fine with that.
I want to cry. But the pool with just wash away my tears.
I want to scream. But the pool will just clog up my throat an the pain will hurt more than it needs to.
I want to breath but. I'll Drown
[Normal P.O.V.]
Gilbert tugged onto the deflated floating that he assumed was metal and hurried and pulled you up.
It took time to get out of the water but he soon made it gasping for as much air as he can.
"(f-f/n)??" He panted your name feeling exhausted and pushed you up onto the edge.
He climbed up. And soon hurried checking for your pulse.
He checked again.
"(f/n) !?" he planted both his hands on your chest pounding to get your pulse back.
"Bitte.. Please don't do vis
" His german accent was thick. Soon as he pounded on your chest he felt tears plop onto you face.
"Don't just.. Don't.." His hair was on your fore head. He closed his eyes shredding another tear.
He looked down at you with trembling eyes. And soon noticed something.
'I can't just do that. I didn't even have my first kiss yet. And I'm pretty sure (f/n) didn
He gave up. He smashed his lips right onto you.
'I doesn't count. I doesn't count. I doesn't count.-'
The words wondered threw his head, but it did count. When someone's lips meets someone else's lips for the first time it counts as a first kiss.
He blow'd air into you feeling his heart shake.
He planted his hand on your chest. But something wasn't right.
Gilbert got the feeling that he was being watched. And then soon-- He herd mummers of people talking in the background.
Yep. There was probably about two classes watching him give you CPR, or what they thought a first kiss.
He felt you chest rise. And you started to cough.
He rose off of you separating each others lips as you coughed harshly.
Soon in the background loud cheers and 'woots' were being screamed.
You were cut off by the hug of Gilbert Beillschmidt.
Your (e/c) eye's faded out and hugged him back weakly.
Don't even do zhat again.."
You didn't respond. But you nodded your head crying onto him.
"I won't

text: Share The Mornington Peninsula curves right around Port Phillip Bay, culminating in Point Nepean, well to the southwest of Melbourne. The shoreline facing the bay is beach-bum territory, though the well-heeled denizens of Sorrento and Portsea, at the tip of the peninsula, might well resent that tag. On the largely straight, ocean-facing coast, Mornington Peninsula National Park encompasses some fine seascapes, with several walking trails marked out. The western side of the peninsula facing the shallow waters of Western Port Bay (and French and Phillip islands) has a much quieter, rural feel. Heading north from the pleasant township of Flinders the coastline of rocky cliffs flattens out to sandy beaches, while north of Stony Point are mudflats and saltmarshes lined by white mangroves: not particularly visually appealing but an internationally recognized and protected habitat for migratory waterbirds. Further inland, the area around Arthurs Seat and Red Hill is probably the most scenic: a bucolic landscape of rolling hills, orchards and paddocks. This is also where the bulk of the peninsula's two hundred or so vineyards are located. They produce superb, if pricey, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio/Gris and Pinot Noir wines. As in the Yarra Valley, good restaurants, especially winery restaurants, have proliferated on the peninsula in recent years, some of them in truly spectacular settings. Read More

Begich Supports Guns in Parking Lots, Not in Post Offices
U.S. Senator Mark Begich told us yesterday he's proud of his amendment to allow guns in post office parking lots…
Sen. Begich: "But to be frank with you I had to push against the chairman of the committee because he was not going to allow any additional amendments. And I objected to his ruling, which he is the democratic chair and I thought he was wrong, so I objected which is very unheard of. And there was, as you can imagine a moment of silence because people weren't sure what was going to happen at that moment and I just looked right at him and he asked me to withdraw my amendment, or my objection and I said I'm not going to withdraw my objection."
However, some Senate Republicans say the new gun laws don't go far enough. Senator Rand Paul introduced an amendment which would have allowed gun owners to take their guns inside post offices. Senator Begich decided not to support that amendment.
The National Association for Gun Rights accused Begich of being "too scared to stand up to Obama's anti-gun agenda, but he's worried voting 'no' would look bad to you, so he's trying to dodge his legislative responsibility all together."
Begich insists he supports the 2nd amendment, and was following a similar case recently decided in Colorado.

Topics: Quality, Delivery of Care
Feb 04, 2010
"In a study certain to rekindle debate over life-sustaining care for those with grievous brain injuries, researchers report that five patients thought to be in a persistent vegetative state showed brain activity indicating awareness, intent and, in at least one case, a wish to communicate," The Los Angeles Times reports. "Of 54 unresponsive patients whose brains were scanned at medical centers in England and Belgium, those five appeared able, when prompted by researchers, to imagine themselves playing tennis, and four of them demonstrated the ability to imagine themselves walking through the rooms of their homes." One 22-year-old male patient who had been unresponsive for five years responded "to a series of simple questions with brain activity that clearly indicated yes or no answers, researchers said."
The Times points out that in the United States as many as 37,000 are considered to be in a "persistently vegetative or minimally conscious state. ... Bioethicist Arthur Caplan said the study would complicate decisions about sustaining life in the netherworld between alertness and unresponsiveness" (Healy, 2/4).
The New York Times reports that the study, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, "does not suggest that most apparently unresponsive patients can communicate or are likely to recover. The hidden ability displayed by the young accident victim is rare, the study suggested. Nor does the finding apply to victims of severe oxygen depletion, like Terry Schiavo, the Florida woman who became unresponsive after her heart stopped and who was taken off life support in 2005 during an explosive controversy over patients' rights." Experts also said the new test was not ready for wide use. Still, there was agreement among experts that the study "exposed the limits of the current bedside test for diagnosing mental state" (Carey, 2/3).

Livin' On A Prayer
Cite This Page
TechniqueReagan Era; the old factory jobs that had once offered high wages to even unskilled workers were gone, and they weren't coming back.
The ongoing struggles of blue-collar workers in America's fading heartland provided lyrical fodder for a whole genre of rock music in the 1980s. Bruce Springsteen (like Bon Jovi a proud son of New Jersey) was probably the pre-eminent figure in this genre, bringing his powerful storyteller's instinct to hard-luck tales of ordinary folks in songs like "The River," "Atlantic City," and "My Hometown." Other artists, like Indiana native John "Cougar" Mellencamp, mined a similar thematic vein in their own music.
Bon Jovi's music usually fell outside this subgenre of working-class rock anthems, but Bon Jovi's roots weren't really much different from Springsteen's or Mellencamp's. And despite all the fame and fortune, Bon Jovi never forgot where he came from. In many ways, "Livin' On A Prayer" might be seen as Jon's take on classic Springsteen… but with a distinctive Bon Jovi twist, of course.
The archetypal story of Tommy and Gina, young lovers struggling to make it through hard times, could fit easily into any of a dozen Springsteen songs. (And the line in the first verse about Gina "working for her man, she brings home her pay" bears an almost uncanny resemblance to a line in Springsteen's "Reason to Believe.") As in many of Springsteen's songs, it's the small lyrical details—the union out on strike, the six-string put in hock, Gina crying in the night—that give "Livin' On A Prayer" its emotional power.
When the song moves out of the verses and into its famous chorus, of course, the band mostly moves out of Springsteen/Mellencamp territory and moves into a musical space more fully and uniquely Bon Jovi. But the workingman's blues of those verses give the story of Tommy and Gina its heart and soul.
Interestingly, Tommy and Gina were not, despite their almost archetypal nature, entirely fictional characters. They were based on real people Bon Jovi knew back in Sayreville. While introducing his famous unplugged performance of the song at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, Jon said, "You see, when I grew up in New Jersey we had a couple of buddies of mine who thought we were going to rule the universe. What happened one day is, as we grew up and got out of high school, one of them actually got a scholarship to go play baseball. And me, I was in the bars playing, writing songs. And he got a phone call one day. And it was his girlfriend; she said she was pregnant. Now he had to hang up those cleats, he had to retire the baseball glove. And all these years later, I guess all he has left is that dream. So a long-distance dedication: the names have been changed to protect the innocent. This is for anyone who ever felt like Tommy and Gina."
