- Sitting and Music NightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014The sitting benches are very uncomfortable for 1-2 hours sitting Music speakers blast rather than playing fine tuned music Food was pre-cooked and cold when served Drinks were over poured or watered down no good medium Wine was hot. Wine needs to be served cool not cold Head lights should be deemed low enough to accommodate romantic evenings. Overall a good place with lots of potential.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SkinnyFatGirlDined on 11/21/2014Great food... good music and nice bar scene! Also love that valet is available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Customer Service Is Key.JayneDined on 11/17/2014Upon entering the restaurant my guest and I walk up to the hostess table for our reservation. However there was no hostess to be found. We then waited for about 5min. with a couple behind us whom ended up growing impatient and seated themselves. Finally the hostess came out with her cellphone in hand ready to seat us. We were then greeted by our server whom seemed upbeat however very clueless about the drink menu. Nonetheless, my guest and I ordered drinks. After 15 min. of waiting the server comes back with one drink and tells me they don't have the ingredients to make what I ordered. I then request something different and it takes another 10 min. to receive it. My guest complained about how "watered down" his beverage was and asked to change it. We were then told "No, that's how the drink is made. If you want another drink you would have to pay for it." "Just buy a shot to put it in your drink to make it better." This began to upset me. I have been in customer service for 10 years and I know this is not how a matter like this is handled. Instead of confrontation we simply ordered a shot and our food after having to call out to the waiter who had walked passed us several times. I'm unaware as to why the follow up time took so long the place was nearly empty. It was my guest and I, along with 3 other couples, along with people at the bar. Upon receiving our food I began to lose my appetite after waiting so long and requested a box. My guest was still enjoying his meal. Our waiter began to stop by more frequently toward asking for the check. We then paid and tipped accordingly. The food & location was great but after the service we received I won't ever return. Customer Service Is Key. It builds and retains your clientele. This place fell short of that.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceSpeciallatina34Dined on 11/8/2014I came in not knowing what to expect. It was my birthday weekend and I must say it was quite an EXPERIENCE! the food was delicious! The ambiance was very upbeat! I had a great time and plan to return soon!...Special Features:
- No Expectation, No DisappointmentJRDisDined on 10/19/2014I had great expectations for Society Lounge but was a bit disappointed. We arrived and had a reservation for 1:30PM and were seated immediately. It took a little while for the wait staff to come over and tell us how things worked, but they eventually did. The "buffet" had variety, but several instances where the food needed to be refilled. While waiting for Crab Legs, we were told they had run out....unacceptable. The eggs in the omelette were a bit airy and not very good. Purchased the unlimited mimosas and those were not readily refilled. Added 20% gratuity to our two person bill and had that reduced to 10%. Wouldn't recommend this brunch. Hopefully it gets better because it has potential if managed properly.
- Rude HostessOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014The staff was not very polite or attentive. We went to the restaurant to celebrate my brother's birthday and I made a reservation online. When we arrived the hostesses told me they could not seat me until my entire party arrived, despite the restaurant being empty. When we were seated we were given two separate tables. No one made any attempt to push the tables together for us, we had to do it ourselves. I noticed a great, round table in the back of the restaurant, but was told us it was reserved for the entire night, however, during the two hours we were there, no one every sat there. Also, one of our tables was extremely wobbly and I had to ask 3 times for a stack of napkins or coasters to stabilize it. Very mediocre food. More of a bar.Special Features:
- Tasty but loudMPMSVIPDined on 10/3/2014Trendy, fun place but not for a quiet dinner. Great crab cakes burgers.Special Features:
- Great Brunch BuffettIlovetoeatDined on 9/28/2014The food and choices were great. The service was ok and the hostess tried to seat us at a dirty table. Otherwise we had a great time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A time to dine40YearcoupleDined on 8/30/2014My wife and I arrived at the Society Rest. early (6:00) thinking we would sit at the bar until our reservation. We informed the host that we were early and would sit at the bar until our reservation at 7:00, we were informed that we could be seated now since the restaurant was empty. We said o. k. We ordered drinks, and wings to start the evening. We later ordered a salad and dinner. I ordered the shrimp which was good and my wife ordered chicken and waffles. The waffle came with a chicken breast, which was overcooked, otherwise, everything else was goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- False AdvertisingDineNGoDined on 7/31/2014A year ago I went with my cousin on Thursday night and they had a live band playing. The ambience was nice and the crowd was upscale. Now, thinking the same and going by opentable.com written narrative and description of lounge, I took my out of town guest there this past Thursday. Again, it stated online, live band Tues-Thurs, Fri-Sat is a DJ. We get there on Thursday night and there is a DJ. I ask the host "where is the live band according to the website?" Her reply, "live band is only the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month." The website needs to be updated to reflect the same. In addition, the crowd was definitely ghetto with the DJ and not upscale. However, the DJ played great music yet too loud. Disappointed...Special Features:

- Very nice place to chillhappyhourhunterDined on 7/30/2014There service here was great. Very attentive staff and the food is excellent. They have a new deck up stairs that makes hand crafted martinis and the view is great. The live music over dinner was just right. Would recommend it highly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delisciousness!!mssunnydaizDined on 4/27/2014A must for brunch! Find your way there for a different spin on brunch. You'll be content for days ... seriously.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Easter brunchZiggy13VIPDined on 4/20/2014I have been here before, but this was the first time for brunch. The food was okay, nothing to write home about, the service was great at the beginning and it went downhill after that. The mimosa were mediocre, I wish they wouldn't premix the champagne and juice in advance. The mango mimosa was definitely not worth the $2 upcharge.Special Features:
- Varied brunch buffeat a great priceGemmyVIPDined on 4/6/2014Brunch at Society offers the standard French toast and omelets, but it also includes steamed crab legs, jerk chicken, fried plantains, cheesy grits in addition to an unlimited mimosa option.Special Features:
- Music was hoping!MarylandCrabDined on 4/2/2014Everything was great. The band was jumping and the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Experience....great staffCustomer2014ADined on 3/23/2014I had such a wonderful time at the Society Lounge! I went there this past weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday with a few friends/family. A few people turned into a CROWD! More people than expected showed up, and I was worried. Luckily, the manager, Byron, was very accommodating. He found additional space for my group and checked in on us frequently to make sure that we were having a great time. The ambiance was lovely and the food was INCREDIBLY delicious! (We were there for brunch- the FRENCH toast is divine!!) Our waitress, Carmelita (aka Carla) was so nice and kept the drinks coming. It was WORTH it and I look forward to my next visit to DC so that I can go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seating is a bit of a hassleMsAmazing2uDined on 3/22/2014I've been to this spot a few time and really like it. So I convinced my significant other to date night there. We made reservations and I requested a booth. Unfortunately, when we arrived on time, we did not have a booth. We sat a 2 person seater in the middle of the restaurant. Hated it. I requested to be moved a couple of times and was blown off. Plus the 2 hour maximum at the table had us looking at our watch the whole time. Not cool when we're in deep conversation. The food is good but unless I can guarantee the seating I want, I will not be back. Just to make more money, you incovenience your guests with those tight 2 seater tables. Shame on managment!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was great. Service veryOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/15/2014Food was great. Service very poor. Waiter seemed to be a nice guy but was very over whelmed. Music too loud for a dinner.... If any one is interested for a peaceful dinner dont pick this place.....it feels you are in a club at 8pm.Special Features:
- Great timemsamazing2uDined on 3/15/2014Met there with a few friends and the atmosphere was fun. There is a DJ at night and we enjoyed the music. Food was delicious with a Caribbean date. Looking forward to attending again. I did not like the 2 hour maximum for the table. We kept looking at our watches which took away from the enjoyment a little bit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- shot in the dark gone right!BreninskiDined on 3/8/2014I was in need of a place that served American cuisine. Silver Spring has been in need of a great place and The Society has hit the spot. I came for a quick dinner with my mom and fiance before the start of a performance on a Saturday evening (both are very picky eaters). I originally was concerned about time being a critical factor but even with the place starting the dinner service rush, they handled everything smoothly. Food came out hot, delicious and in a timely manner. No complaints from ANYONE at the table. The entire staff was informative, professional, and very courteous. I can't wait to try this place for a late night out, I'm sure the transformation will be just wonderful.Special Features:
- Great food, great crowd, great spotOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/5/2014This was our first time at Society and we really enjoyed ourselves. There were four us and every dish was hot and delicious. The service was great, the crowd was having a good time. There is great live entertainment there too. Check it out. We will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's DayJohnDined on 2/14/2014The chicken truffle Marsala on the Valentine's Day menu was awesome If it's not on their regular menu, it should be. Had a drink called the The Champion; amazing! Service was really good, too; had a few people come by and ask how we were doing and how was everything. Great experience overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Food, Spirits & Spirit!MikeandLisaDined on 1/24/2014The Society has a unique combination of innovative, high-end cuisine and a contagious positive spirit from the staff. Started off with tasty cocktails. The appetizers were sensational - shrimp n grits for me, a spicy but well-flavored gumbo for my wife. We both had the tilapia & scallop entree - awesome! An unbelievable bread pudding (what else?) for dessert. The ambience was cozy at the beginning, with soulful (not sappy) tunes in the background. The staff worked as a team and were all cheerful; this cheerfulness is something that differentiates The Society from other high-end establishments. Heads-up: things get a lot louder after 8 PM. If you want romance, come early. If you want to party, come later. Either way, we're coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ❤❤❤BrunchloverVIPDined on 1/23/2014The layout is modern and very clean. The staff is amazing, from hostess to managers. Owner is genuinely interested in feedback and the wait staff is always attentive. The food is absolutely amazing! Good happy hour, and a nice variety of entertainment- from live singing duets to old school r&b to jazzy gogo groups. Thouroughly enjoy myself each and evey time I go.Special Features:
- Delicious food. Live musicMoniDined on 1/19/2014Delicious food. Live music is always great. Highly recommend for a girls night out or a birthday celebration.Special Features:
- Great food, a bit over-pricedSSFoodies8389Dined on 1/18/2014Food was good, but not for the price. If everything was marked down about $2-$4, this place would be a hit in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice energy, not a great restaurantNorbertDined on 1/10/2014Uncomfortable seating, wobbly table, a waitress who rushed every course, and forgettable food. Cool energy, enjoyable DJ, nice ambience.Special Features:
- Great service; we'll be backRickVIPDined on 11/15/2013They are always so attentive and work hard to make sure that you have what you need and are enjoying the meal, but not in an overbearing way. The service is great. And, the food is delicious. It's a little loud so don't expect a quiet dinner, but it's loud in a fun energetic way. Just come in expecting it and have a great time. My wife and I both got the Cajun pasta dish. It is very tasty with the right amount of spice. My wife got a glass of Cabernet and I got a glass of Pinot, both which were very good. It's not a huge wine list both they were good so we didn't need more choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Thursday Night ExperienceDeezyresDined on 11/7/2013Visited on Thursday evening with live entertainment by Secret Society band. Band was great, food was great, and venue had a nice ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SurprisejeffDined on 10/26/2013Went for a romantic anniversary celebration and found a hoppin', loud party scene. My mistake. Didn't bother staying for dinner since we couldn't hear each other. I'd try again if I were about 20 years younger.Special Features:
- Not enough spaceDelectableVIPDined on 10/20/2013I went here for brunch with my friends and we were a party of 4, but we were supposed to be a party of 6. I am glad the other 2 couldn't make it because this place it too small to host big parties. The food was phenomenal however, I am still thinking about the fried talapia.Special Features:
- Great food!NjeriCDined on 10/13/2013If you want great food in a great setting, visit Society Lounge. The Sunday brunch is especially excellent. Everything on the brunch menu was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was great, attentive.JTMDVIPDined on 10/12/2013Service was great, attentive. Wings were great. Gumbo had bones in it and did not really seem like typical gumbo. Thin, no rice. Had the flavor of crab in it, but was told there wasn't any in it. Maybe it was the shrimp. Scallops were kind of fishy. Maybe just a bad night. Chicken and waffles tasted great, but is the chicken supposed to be wings?
- Was Just OkSplinkysgirlDined on 10/6/2013Unfortunately, the place was smaller than it appeared on the website. The tables felt crowded together. The Sunday brunch choices were very good but the taste was basic - nothing special. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't consider it as a repeat place for me.
- Bountiful BrunchDCdiningdivaDined on 10/6/2013My second time having brunch at Society and both times the food was delectable!!!! The service was timely and the staff is extremely responsive and courteous. I celebrated birthdays with a group of lovely ladies and we had a dynamic time. The food selection is good. They have an omelet bar some made to order selections, crab legs, crab balls, shrimp and a variety of other selections for all different tastes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch is Devine. Chef is amazingTKluvs2dineDined on 9/29/2013Chef came out to chat with patrons and made sure we were enjoying the food. Brunch was sooooooo good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Final Fantasy series has had its ups and downs over its lifespan, and Square Enix revamped the series with Final Fantasy XIII. The fighting system was a more modern approach to turn based RPG's and graphically, it was in par with some of the best games on the market for any console. With the newest installment into the Final Fantasy series, and direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix has one-upped themselves yet again and added even more wrinkles to the evolved combat system and expanded on the storyline that was established in its predecessor.
Lightning, the female protagonist from Final Fantasy XIII, has vanished and turned into the crystal pillar holding Cocoon from crashing down into Gran Pulse…or so most people in Gran Pulse believe. Your quest is to find the truth and travel through time to find Lightning and reveal the truth about her disappearance….oh, and re-write the course of mankind's existence.
You start this journey as Serah, Lightning's sister, who is the exact same girl who was frozen in crystal thanks to the fal'Cie in FFXIII (oh how the tables have turned). You will quickly meet up with Noel Kriess, who in all honesty is a pretty cool character, just with a really awful name. He has been sent by Lightning from Valhalla, otherwise known as the realm of the deal, to help you on your journey and to protect you. This is a pretty basic plot line to start out, however, it does pickup the deeper you dive into the game, but in an effort to not spoil it, I will leave you with just the basic groundwork.
The combat system has evolved again with cinematic combat sequences where button combinations or the thumb stick allows you the ability to perform different attacks or defensive moves. This new wrinkle makes cut scenes much more tolerable since you actually need to pay attention and have some say in the final outcome of the cut scenes. Additionally, there is a what is called a mob clock that starts each time you encounter an enemy. What this means is when a monster appears, a circle encases you and that monster. There is a gauge that shows three colors, red, green or yellow. If it is green, you can strike the monster with a preemptive strike and stagger them (or close to staggering them) as soon as the battle starts. Yellow indicates the monster is aware if your presence and almost ready to fight. Red means the monster is primed to strike and does so. If you are quick enough, this can be a huge advantage in battle because when an opponent is staggered there is a damage multiplier that kicks in and you are safe from attack.
Another nice feature that is at your disposal in battle now are paradigm packs, which allows you to assemble up to three allied monsters into a pack which can be added to your paradigm (battle alignment) list for use. I have not had the pleasure of using one of these just yet, but the thought of it is rather exciting. You can also tune your paradigms now, which means you can have characters focus on one enemy with the paradigm assigned, cross attacks against one enemy or will use wider attacks to hit multiple enemies. This will come in handy when finding yourself stuck in those common battles with one giant monster and then a bunch of little annoying ones that drain your magic and health by nickel and diming you to death.
Graphically, this game surpasses what was done with FFXIII, and that is a tough task to have accomplished. The cut scenes are breathtaking and the environments are just as stunning as you would hope. The character rendering is very well done and you can feel the emotion trying to be portrayed when a character speaks or is engaged in battle during the cutscenes.
I have only come across two negatives so far, and one is usually something that bothers me with every Final Fantasy game, and that is the rather cheesy and unoriginal score. I am a huge fan of awesome soundtracks and scores for games, but so far, this one has let me down. That may change the further on you go in the game, but around 1 hour in, it's not very good. The other negative that many people out there will more than likely complain about (because they did with FFXIII) is how linear the environments are. Personally, its not that big of a deal to me that it hurts my overall impression of the game, but many Final Fantasy fans out there may be upset. However, if these are the worst things someone can pick out about your game, you've probably made a pretty good game.
Overall, I have highly enjoyed the time I have spent on Final Fantasy XIII-2, and think many of you will as well. Graphically it is superior to many games in the market, the storyline has been engaging and the new additions to the combat system are very cool and will add even more enjoyment to the Final Fantasy experience. I give this game 4 out of 5 stars, or if you want a scale of 1-10, I would give this game an 8. Now get out there and pick this game up and have some fun!

Cava Rose Duo with Godiva 8-piece Chocolates
Sold Out $39.99
Cava, the spanish alternative to Champagne, in its Rosé form is is paired with Godiva's 8-piece Chocolate in this Valentine's gift set.Includes:
- Two bottles of Mont Marçal Cava Brut Rosé
- Godiva 8-piece Gold Ballotin
- Valentine's Day Gift Wrapped Box
Winemaker's Notes:
Color: intense attractive red currant color with bluish tonalities and good giving off light bubbles and persistent crown making
Bouquet: touched by red fruit such as cherreis and blackberries, with a background of plum and fig preserve and light evolution characters on yeast
Taste: in the mouth it maintains young, fruity, fresh, smooth and elegant overall.
One hundred percent Trepat, a Catalan black variety especially apt for rosé production. Attractive light ruby color with pronounced red berry fruit and excellent mousse. Late disgorged with more than 24 months on the lees.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Light pink. Nervy redcurrant and blood orange aromas are complicated by honeysuckle and dried rose, with a sexy underpinning of dusty minerals. Juicy red berry flavors are brightened by citrus pith and gain flesh with air. Bitter cherry and raspberry flavors linger on a long, seamless finish. This would kick plenty of pink Champagne around the block-at a fraction of the price."

Seriously swanky pool parties have been the "in" thing this summer, with tons of hotties and himbos hanging out at superchic swimming holes like the Mondrian and the Scottsdale Inn while downing designer drinks, catching some rays, and listening to DJs work the ones and twos. This weekend's Wet Pool Party Vol. 3 is no exception, as diving boards mix with dance music at Grace Inn Phoenix, 10831 South 51st Street (off Interstate 10 and Elliot Road), starting at noon on Saturday, August 25. Hollywood's Matty Scoll will be laying down a furiously fly deep house soundtrack, with DJs Soloman and Brady also getting some time on the turntables. Make sure you bring your water wings to impress the ladies. Admission is free, with rooms with a view of the pool starting at $49. Call 480-893-3000.

18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
David: Every single plan the Joker makes here is predicated on the innate selfishness of human beings.
Andy: Right, he plays the systems: human self-interest, human rules and authority.
David: As we�ll see as this movie goes on, the one thing the Joker absolutely cannot predict, and does not plan for, and doesn�t understand, is altruism.
Chris: He and Lord Voldemort have so much to talk about, including their intense hatred of self-righteous orphans.
—Chris Sims, Andy Khouri, and David Uzumeri on The Dark Knight
Merryweather: What won't Maleficent expect? She knows everything.
Fauna: Oh, but she doesn't, dear. Maleficent doesn't know anything about love, or kindness, or the joy of helping others... you know, sometimes I don't think she's really very happy.
Zod: He cares. He actually cares for these Earth people.
Ursa: Like pets?!
Zod: I suppose so.
"Logical? Is it? To a machine, perhaps. Yes... A soulless machine might make that deduction. But not Lex Luthor. I know better! I know that no man with the power of Superman would ever pretend to be a mere human! Such power is to be constantly exploited. Such power is to be used!"
— Lex Luthor, from the 1980s DC Comics revamp, on why Clark Kent cannot be Superman
Lex: You were born to be the chosen one. You're simply better than us.
Clark: And that always killed you.
Lex: No. No, what 'killed' me was is that you didn't even want it. You fought it, you—you hid from it! I would have taken it, and then relished it, embraced it.
— Smallville, "Finale"
"Evil... has every advantage but one - it is inferior in imagination. Good can imagine the possibility of becoming evil... but Evil, defiantly chosen, can no longer imagine anything but itself."
— W.H. Auden on The Lord of the Rings
"You have to think about what you're doing. Who and what made you who you are. Your role models. The beliefs they instilled in you. Think of how The Joker could never understand that. It's what makes him who he is. Think."

Oskar Schindler: These people, my people. I want my people.
Amon Goeth: Who are you, Moses? Come on, what is this? Where's the money in this, where's the scam?
Schindler: It's good business.
Goeth: Yeah, it's "good business" in your opinion. Look, you've got to move them, the equipment, everything to Czechoslovakia, pay for all that and build another camp. It doesn't make any sense. You're not telling me something... You're probably scamming me somehow.
"Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom or truth, perhaps peace, could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose, and all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although - only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? WHY DO YOU PERSIST?!"
— Agent Smith, The Matrix Revolutions
Cartman: You see guys, it all worked itself out. Tadow, tadow, how you like me now? Feel a little silly now, Kyle? Tadow, how you like me now?
Kyle: I still feel bad, Cartman.
Cartman: What? Hu- How can you feel bad? Somebody else is gonna pay for our crime.
Kyle: Yeah. That makes it even worse.
Cartman: Bu... ...eh... Kyle, you don't seem to understand. We're not gonna get punished for this. Ever.
Kyle: I know.
Cartman: So... so then, how can you feel bad?
Stan: He feels guilty for doing it and for letting someone else pay for it.
Cartman: ...But he's not gonna get in trouble.
Stan: It doesn't matter if you get in trouble of not, you can still feel bad. [to Kyle] I think you're right, Kyle. Maybe we should confess.
Kenny: (Yeah, maybe we should)
Cartman: What?? Eh... [tries to be upbeat] Hey you guys! There's nothing to feel bad about! We're, we're off scot-free!
Kyle: We feel bad for other people.
Cartman: [looks at the other boys in disbelief] For oth-er... [winces] Uh. Oww. ...Ih ...Ih, ih, is it that ...you think you might get in trouble later?
Stan: Tomorrow in school we'll all tell the teacher it was us, and let her decide what to do. [points an accusing finger at Cartman] And Cartman, if you had any thread of a conscience at all, you'll do the same! [He, Kyle, and Kenny leave]
Cartman: Eh buh... eh... eh... Freakin' weirdos, man!

— Doctor Who, "Doomsday"
"If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love."
— Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter
"His knowledge remained woefully incomplete, Harry! That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth that he has never grasped."
— Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Zidane: As long as there's hope, I'm not going anywhere.
Kuja: (beaten) Then... I want you to erase me.
Zidane: What?
Kuja: The world has disowned me. I have been defeated by life itself.
(Zidane closes the distance between them. Kuja chuckles, perhaps expecting Zidane to go through with it - but Zidane offers him his hand)
Kuja: Why?
Zidane: Do I need a reason to help someone? Or is my help not good enough for you?
Kuja: It's likely that... I will hurt you again.
Zidane: I can take a beating.
Kuja: I don't think I will ever come to understand you.
"Only you would regard love as a weakness."
— Goliath to Xanatos, Gargoyles
Tao En: Impossible. Why are you getting up? Don't you fear me? Why do you fight so hard for one another?!
Tao Ren: I can't answer that. But I know that if I were in their place... I'd do the same for them.
There are those who say that to comprehend evil is to become evil; but they are merely pretending to be wise. Rather it is evil which does not know love, and dares not imagine love, and cannot ever understand love without ceasing to be evil. And I suspect that you can imagine your way into the minds of Dark Wizards better than I ever could, while still knowing love yourself.
— Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
"It was a harrowing experience, but I don't hold a grudge. We should love our enemies. It makes them so damned mad."

— Omar Little, The Wire
Choudhury: What about the man in the red suit?
Tanek Nuro: It'll be easy to deal with him, now that we've found out who he really is. First we'll take a hostage. Who does he care about?
Choudhury: Well, he has an ex-wife and a son...
Nuro: I bet he hates his ex and would sell his son to the gypsies if he could. I would.
"Forget about [the Chum Bucket], I just can't take so much kindness in one sitting! Need... hatred..."

"[Supreme Chancellor Fey'lya] lives in a world where alliances shift by the moment. Borsk does what Borsk needs to do, at any given moment, to benefit Borsk. And he's so jaded by that political philosophy that he thinks everyone else plays by the same rules."
— Luke Skywalker, Vector Prime
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping... Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.
Saffron: Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.
Mal: You got all kinds a learnin� and you made me look the fool without even trying, and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That�s 'cause I've got people with me, people who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always looking for the advantage.

Exdeath: Why... why won't you die!?
Galuf: Takes a lot more than that... for me to kick the bucket! I'll destroy you, Exdeath... even if it means I have to take you into the afterlife myself!
Exdeath: Fool! All the hatred in existence would never be enough to defeat me!
Galuf: This... isn't anger... isn't hatred... it's...
Exdeath: Then... what...?
He could have killed them both. But he didn't. Why? The emotions that fill Jason right now are alien to him as they are not hate or anger.
Locus: Why do you continue to help these people, Agent Washington? You have nothing to gain from them. No reason to fight for them. And yet, here you stand with your life on the line for them.
Washington: Is that so hard to understand?
Locus: You used to be so much more. You were once an enemy to these men. You were ruthless! You were a survivor!
Washington: I was a different person.
Locus: No, you were a soldier.
Washington: You say that like they're two different things.
Locus: When a true soldier is told to kill, he kills. He does not question why, he does not mourn the fallen; he fulfills his role and moves on to the next.
Washington: Is that what you want to be? A true soldier?
Locus: No, that is what I am! I'm a professional, Agent Washington. I complete my-
Washington: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you complete your missions at all cost. You can say that as many times as you want, but I know what you really are. You're a coward.
Locus: Ridiculous.
Washington: You keep trying to play yourself off as some sort of weapon. That you don't care about anyone or anything. But the fact that you're trying so hard to understand me breaks your entire act! No matter how hard you may want to be, you're not a machine, you're a murderer. But you hide behind the idea in your head, because you're too afraid to take responsibility for what you've done. I know I used to be a real piece of shit, but at least I'm trying to do something about it.
Quiz Show Host: Category: You're Boning Your Boss's Wife. Etiquette Question. Do you server red wine or white wine when she comes over?
(the two contestants think it over before the buzzer rings)
Quiz Show Host: All right, that was actually a trick question. The correct answer is, you shouldn't be boning your boss's wife. Now that's something you'd know if you either of you had a conscience.
Picard/Locutus of Borg: Worf. Klingon species. A warrior race. You too will be assimilated.

Brainiac: I believed you were an intelligent being. A perspicacious creature of many worlds like me. But I was incorrect. You are a threat to no one. You dedicated yourself to a planet that has nothing to offer you. It lacks Krypton's advances in science. Its weapons are rudimentary, even compared to that of the barbaric Rimbor. It is devoid of any quantifiable value. Earth is not necessary to my continued evolution. This culture is useless.
Lois Lane: [from inside the shrunken Metropolis] Superman! Clark, if you can hear me... I don't know what's happening, I don't know if this is the end... but if it is... if it is the end—

GOLDEN GATE, Fla. - A family is searching for answers tonight. They are asking why their loved one is dead after being tased by Collier County deputies.
The Sheriff's Office tells Wink News they received two 911 calls from 16th Place S.W. saying 26-year-old Linel Lormeus was acting bizarrely.
"There's someone running around and they're crazy and they're running around with things in their hand," said one caller.
"He's got a stick and one of those weights hitting the walls. He was outside running all kinds of crazy so I don't know there's people around and they can get hurt," said another 911 caller.
Deputies say when they arrived at the apartment, Lormeus took off. They tell Wink, Lormeus struggled with them and they tased him. Reports say he suffered a medical emergency and died, but his family feels there's more to tell.
"Someone called for help and instead of getting help he's killed," said family friend, Amonez Murat.
Lormeus' mother says he was treated for mental problems in Haiti, but hadn't taken his medicine in a year. An investigation into his death is ongoing.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child attends NHE as a first grader. His Kindergarden teacher Mrs. Butler was an amazing teacher. She cared about the kids beyond words and knew my sons weak and strong points without having to dig through information. This shows how familular she was with each child as an individual. My child learned beyond my expectations for Kindergarten. She had a wonderful personality and very funny. I am very pleased and thankful my son had Mrs. Butler for his introduction to school. She did wonderful art work and cared for the children. I love NHE and thank god who attends that school then an Radcliff jurisdiction. The school is clean, friendly and refreshing. The princibal is amazing, up beat and very friendly (and hot).
My son is in the FMD class with Mrs. Baldwin (special needs class). I love this school and the teacher she is so proactive and does not let my child check out and just waste the day away nor get away with anything:) She and her class room staff are awesome and work towards our goals on our IEP. I will def miss her when we have to move
My daughter attened New Highland for preschool back in Fall 2005 and 2006. Ms Hill and her staff rock. Madison did so well with them I hated to move. WE have moved back to this area and we intend to buy a house in this school district.
my daughter has an anxiety d/o and I was worried about her starting a new school. She has done wonderful at this school and has almost no need for her IEP any longer.
I have two children who attend New Highland School. I have been very pleased with their educational experience so far. They have had very good teachers for their kindergarten, first and second grade years. As with any school, there are areas that can be improved upon. I feel their strengths come from the classroom teachers and the a few of their special programs. Where all of Hardin County and E'town could use help is with their nursing support, gifted education, and strong administrative leadership that values educator input. New Highland has plenty of opportunity for parents to volunteer and most staff members are friendly and welcoming.
New Highland is about normal for schools. I don't think they have any outstanding programs specifically. I was pleased with the kindergarten teacher in regards to my 5 year old. She really tried working with my child, who has ADHD. She didn't just push her to the side like their previous school.
My son is in the pre k program and we love it, he is learning, and is very excited about going to school everyday, he loves it
The preschool program is awesome, best in the county. The school is great overall and friendly, happy atmosphere. I'm somewhat disappointed in the services for speech therapy it is lacking, although the therapist do try. I would like to see more available for special needs children.

Wow, awesome finish. What a night of fights.
wow, brutal knees to the body
Some guys you can't play that game of staying in the plumb clinch and thinking you're just gonna hang out and defend. Those knees to the body are no joke especially from Brizillian Maui Tai. I think Wandi had some of the best knees from the clinch in the sport...
man, this bald guy reminds me so much of wanderlei.
Everyone is getting a bonus tonight
damn, bald guy had no respect for the other guys hands
I just tuned in to for the last 2 fights, but so far this card seems excellent.
(I kid, I kid :D )

Statistical analysis shows pattern consistent with pre-industrial temperature swings, study concludes
Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by McGill University physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.
In a paper published this month in Geophysical Research Letters, Lovejoy concludes that a natural cooling fluctuation during this period largely masked the warming effects of a continued increase in man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The new study applies a statistical methodology developed by the McGill researcher in a previous paper, published in April in the journal Climate Dynamics. The earlier study -- which used pre-industrial temperature proxies to analyze historical climate patterns -- ruled out, with more than 99% certainty, the possibility that global warming in the industrial era is just a natural fluctuation in the earth's climate.
In his new paper, Lovejoy applies the same approach to the 15-year period after 1998, during which globally averaged temperatures remained high by historical standards, but were somewhat below most predictions generated by the complex computer models used by scientists to estimate the effects of greenhouse-gas emissions.
The deceleration in rising temperatures during this 15-year period is sometimes referred to as a "pause" or "hiatus" in global warming, and has raised questions about why the rate of surface warming on Earth has been markedly slower than in previous decades. Since levels of greenhouse gases have continued to rise throughout the period, some skeptics have argued that the recent pattern undercuts the theory that global warming in the industrial era has been caused largely by man-made emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
Lovejoy's new study concludes that there has been a natural cooling fluctuation of about 0.28 to 0.37 degrees Celsius since 1998 -- a pattern that is in line with variations that occur historically every 20 to 50 years, according to the analysis. "We find many examples of these variations in pre-industrial temperature reconstructions" based on proxies such as tree rings, ice cores, and lake sediment, Lovejoy says. "Being based on climate records, this approach avoids any biases that might affect the sophisticated computer models that are commonly used for understanding global warming."
What's more, the cooling effect observed between 1998 and 2013 "exactly follows a slightly larger pre-pause warming event, from 1992 to 1998," so that the natural cooling during the "pause" is no more than a return to the longer term natural variability, Lovejoy concludes. "The pause thus has a convincing statistical explanation."
The methodology developed in Lovejoy's two recent papers could also be used by researchers to help analyze precipitation trends and regional climate variability and to develop new stochastic methods of climate forecasting, he adds.

Forests have a critical role to play in the fight against global climate change. Forest loss accounts for up to 20 percent of global carbon emissions -- more than all the cars, trucks, trains, planes and ships in the world. By reducing forest loss, we can reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change. It's that simple.
When a relationship hits a rough patch, it can be easy to think pessimistically. Thinking optimistically isn't about rainbows and unicorns, rather, it's about being realistic. Optimistic thinkers are able to identify solutions that haven't yet been tried. In addition, optimistic thinkers zero in on what they can control, influence or leverage.

Pashmina shawls
worn by men often symbolise royal lineage. The Pashmina shawls are made from traditional woollen textiles which are obtained from mountain goat. Intricate work is done on both sides of these shawls. The special Kashmiri embroidery work, Kasida, is done in such a manner that the patterns appear on both sides of the fabric uniformly. The Pashmina belts and Kamarbands are common too. The Muslim men wear lace-free shoes known as Gurgabis. Brocade, camel hair and cashmere are the main elements that are used in the making of coats and fleece for men.
Costumes of Jammu and Kashmir for Women
Pheran is the prominent attire for Kashmiri women as well. Traditionally, there are Poots and Pherans, comprising two robes that are placed atop the other. Pheran worn by women usually has Zari embroidery on the hem line, around pockets and mostly on the collar area. Pherans worn by the Muslim women are traditionally characterised by their broad sleeves and reach up to the knees. However, the Hindus of
Jammu and Kashmir
wear their Pherans long, stretching up to their feet with narrowed down sleeves. Often, the Pherans are wrapped tightly by a piece of creased cloth called Lungi. The Hindu women wear a headdress called Taranga, stitched to a suspended cap and it narrows down at the back, towards the heels. Taranga is an integral part of the wedding attire among Hindus. Elaborate Zari embroideries or floral patterns around the neck and the pockets are prominent features of a Muslim woman`s Pheran. Brocade patterns adorn their long sleeves.
Pheran is accompanied by red headgears known as Kasaba. Kasaba is stitched in the form of a turban and is pinned together by ornaments and silver brooches. A pin-scarf suspended from Kasaba descends towards the shoulder. It is worn by Muslim women as a part of their regular attire. Abaya is another common attire worn by them. For unmarried Muslim women, the costumes vary to some extent. The elaborate headgears are replaced by exquisitely ornate skull caps embellished with threads of gold, talismans and
Kashmiri Accessories for Women
The intricate patterns of women Costumes in Jammu and Kashmir are further enhanced by the use of various accessories. Earrings,
and bangles are widely used apart from the use of ornamentation in clothing. Silver jewellery is popular among Muslim women and they adorn themselves with neckpieces, bracelets and heavily bejewelled chains. Dejharoos or golden pendants are worn by the Hindu women. These Dejharoos comprise two decorative gold pendants which are suspended through gold chains or silk threads. It is symbolic of a woman`s married status among the Kashmiri Pandits.

It is wound at the waist by a bright sash called Skerag. It extends to about 2 m in length and 20 cm in breadth. The Skerag serves as an enclosure for the Ladakhi men to carry their bare essentials. Men in Ladakh wear velvet multi-hued caps while the women adorn
coloured hats named Perak. According to tradition, upon a woman`s demise, the Perak is handed down to her eldest child. In Ladakh, footwear made of Yak skin and wool, known as Papu, are also quite popular.
