For some fans of the Twilight franchise – also known as Twi-Hards – news that Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson felt like their own personal heartbreak.
Also offering his tears: Will Ferrell.
"What they had was so special," the comedian, 45, deadpanned to Conan O'Brien on Thursday night's Conan. (Watch the video below.) "You don't even know what they had. They were in love, and she just threw it all away."
His tongue-in-cheek concerns continued: "I just don't know if there was anything I could have done to prevent it. And I don't know what it means to the Twilight franchise. I just don't know."

The show must go on for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
The Breaking Dawn: Part 2 costars – and exes – who are barely speaking following Stewart's recent cheating scandal with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, are still scheduled to join the rest of their cast to promote the final film in the Twilight saga.
"While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2," Nancy Kirkpatrick, the studio's president of worldwide marketing tells Entertainment Weekly in a statement.

After meeting and greeting throngs of fans waiting for hours outside the San Diego Convention Center, the stars of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and more, headed to Hard Rock Hotel's Float Lounge to party.
While some (like Peter Facinelli and new dad Jackson Rathbone) skipped the red carpet, newlyweds Reed and hubby Paul McDonald walked together, and the former Idol contestant waited patiently, sipping a drink while his wife did interviews. When she finished, he snaked his arm around her waist, then Reed gave her hubby's butt a little pinch before heading inside the party, where the couple mingled with fellow guests.
Lutz seemingly started the night with dessert: he was spotted snacking on frozen yogurt inside a VIP cabana, though he later grabbed a slider from a waitress's tray.

This still from Breaking Dawn: Part 2 might seem to portray a cute conversation between werewolf babysitter Jacob and Renesmee – the daughter of Jacob's former crush, Bella – but there's an underlying storyline that even Taylor Lautner admits people think is "creepy."
Because of a werewolf-related process called "imprinting," Lautner's Jacob is irrevocably (as Bella might say) tied to the child (played by Mackenzie Foy). Jacob will fill a protective, older-brother role to the child until she matures.

Kristen Stewart has spent four Twilight movies being protected by her supernatural pals – but now it's her turn to be strong.
In Breaking Dawn – Part 2 Stewart's clumsy Bella Swan finally turns into a fierce vampire. In this new picture – featured with nine other exclusive images on EW.com – Bella puts her undead strength to the test by arm wrestling Kellan Lutz's Emmet Cullen.
Making Bella what costar Taylor Lautner describes as a "super-sexy vampire who's athletic and graceful" was a job Stewart took very seriously.

where do you obtain this item in eso? bought, dropped, so on?? thx. Cozakwarrior
Tempers cannot be bought from vendors and do not drop as loot. You only get them from deconstructing stuff or from refining raw materials.
You have to break blue items to get blue tempers. Ie blacksmith breaks a blue item of any level and has a chance to gain a blue temper which can then be used to upgrade existing items from green to blue.
You can get them merely from refining raw material also. I have not deconstructed any blue items so far, but I have two of these at level 13.
You need one point in the refining skill to get blue tempers 2 points to get purple and 3 points to get gold. I did not mention this because it is very confusing to new players.
We are aware that ZOS has changed the colors of armor for the third time. We will mark sets submitted after Patch 1.3.3 as "Post Patch 1.3.3″, but we will not be doing a comprehensive re-do on every set like with Patch 1.1.2 because the dye system makes the original colors less important.

Arkeia Software Releases New Virtual Backup Appliance
Data security independence from hardware is the promise from backup specialist Arkeia for its upcoming Network Backup version 8.0. But it's not the only enhancement from the company with its French roots.
The term "virtual appliance" seems like an oxymoron, but it's really a system image for a virtual machine. In Arkeia's case, the image applies to the cost-based hypervisors from VMware, ESX and ESXi, to be delivered under the Arkeia Virtual Appliance moniker. The appliance is a software package that delivers a license derived from Arkeia's Network Backup product consisting of a hard disk-based virtual tape library (VTL) and Backup Agents. The company designates the latter as the software packages under which source data security and restoration is organized, formerly known as Hotbackup Modules. In a virtual environment the new Arkeia VMware ESX agent is installed on an ESX hypervisor and thereby ensures data security on one or many virtual machines, independent of platform and applications. According to Arkeia, the VMware ESX agent uses the snapshot function of the ESX server.
Administration and application interfaces in the virtual appliance should be indistinguishable from the physical backup appliance, according to Arkeia, the only difference being that storage is configured differently in the physical and virtual environments. Arkeia's own physical backup appliance had been released to the market as the EdgeFort brand in 2007 and is now available as the Arkeia Physical Appliance.
Not only have brand names changed, but some of the company's players. After the entry of a U.S. investor, industry veteran Bill Evans was appointed CEO in November 2008, with former European marketing and channel programs head Frederic Renard recruited back to Arkeia as VP of marketing. Headquarters were moved from Paris to San Diego CA.
The Arkeia Network Backup 8.0 virtual appliance is still in beta, with the final version to be available in March at around $2,000, including three backup agents. A 30-day test drive is available here.

Wednesday 29th May 2013
We've had a busy few days. It has been the Muncaster Festival, incorporating the Festival of Fools, since Saturday. This means that we are manning the gazebo on the front lawn on a daily basis for the duration of the festival. Also, Millie Clarke and I are hosting the daily 'Walk On The wild Side', which starts at noon, and which is free to all who might be interested in wild life.
The other significant event was the official completion of the brand new Magellan Horned Owl aviary in the Main Display. Between them, Collection Manager David Armitage, and Chief Executive Steve Richardson have built a magnificent new exhibit, by World Owl Trust standards, which now allows us to put the Magellan Horned Owls on show for the first time. We've had them in the collection for a while, but actually housed them in the Breeding Ground, until we obtained permission to build this new aviary, which was funded by the Orient Express.
We've had a few more 'first' sightings of owlets this week. It would seem our second breeding pair of Spectacled Owls in the Breeding Ground has been successful for the first time this year; 1 owlet was seen over the weekend. The same can be said for both pairs of Western Screech Owls. An Owlet in each aviary has been seen over the past few days. A Brown Wood Owlet came out of the nest box for the very first time in the Main Display over the weekend as well. I also have high hopes for both pairs of Ferruginous Pygmy Owls. They are both taking extra food. As the females have been out of sight for a long time, it's not unreasonable to presume they may have owlets. We shall see.
I hadn't seen Rupert the Red Kite for a few days, which begs the question; is he still around? The answer is 'yes he is'. I was walking the dogs on Bootle Fell on my days off, and there he was, flying around, getting grief from the resident pair of Buzzards. Buzzards haven't yet had enough time to learn that Red Kites are no threat to them. In other parts of the UK where both species are numerous, they live peacefully side by side. I suppose it might take a little while yet in this part of the world.
See you next week

|Untangeling ways
|over 2 years ago
I used to do far more shared nodes than I do now, because I've started just mapping exactly "what's on the ground".
A stream, for instance, is a way down the centreline of the stream, and one area (often) on either side, following the riverbank.
Two areas will usually have some sort of boundary, which I map as a way set between the two areas.
The only time I share nodes is when the boundary between them actually has no width (e.g. is a imaginary line between two survey points or something).
Just makes it easier to edit, as PurpleMustang says.

|Homeowner Associations

I'm part of the Fremantle Society, who're setting up a civic wiki called FreoWiki, and we're planning on using OSM maps on that extensively. I've been doing a bit of mapping around the place, in patches. Mainly using Walking Papers (and some people here have raised the idea of helping school children contribute this way, although nothing's happened yet).
The council here has recently implemented something called IntraMaps which looks pretty interesting (and slow, and not slippy). It doesn't really do anything that OSM can't... it's got things like 'Municipal Heritage Inventory', which shows where all the local government heritage-listed buildings are (which we can put on OSM); and all property boundaries (which we can only guess at because that data belongs to LandGate).
|# one rival supported through back door?
|over 3 years ago
I think the main issue that mongoltweets is getting at is that, in order to log in to OSM (is it just the wiki? or also to create a mapping account? I haven't done either for ages) one must permit Google javascript to run. The issue with that (have I got this correct?) is that it gives them a chance to track which (Google-JS-executing) sites that one (or, rather, one's IP address) visits.
There certainly are alternatives to ReCaptcha, that can run on the same server as the app; I guess they're just a bit more of a hassle to set up.

@malenki, @David Leonard: Yes, I'm uploading them under this username. However, the ones I've done so far I did as private, but of course that's really not going to work is it? I've modified the timestamps, and removed a massive chunk of the Perth metro area (I figured on uploading as private before I'd sorted out how to do these things), so I'll change them to public (later; "The GPX file upload system is currently unavailable").
@WarrenP: Welcome! OSM is certainly not that difficult; it's local knowledge that makes all the difference, I think. Lots of the traces I'll be uploading will be for areas about which I know nothing, so your help will be great. What editor are you using? (May I recommend Merkaartor?)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner has invited Pope Francis to address a joint meeting of Congress.
Boehner says in a statement that the pope has inspired millions with his pastoral manner and servant leadership.
The speaker says he had extended an open and formal invitation to the pontiff.
In his statement, Boehner highlights the pope's call for the protection of the most vulnerable -- the ailing, disadvantaged, "impoverished and the unborn."

It's often difficult to perceive the size and scale of a new BMW vehicle in spy photos/videos without any other model by its side. To tell the size of the upcoming next generation BMW X5 (F15), we've now spied it next to both the current X5 (E70) and the current X3.
Compared to the current X5, the F15 X5 doesn't appear to be much larger, and any increase in size (at least with respect to height and width) doesn't seem to be very perceptible at this distance. … CONTINUED
The next generation 2014 X5 (F15) continues its cold weather testing and our spies have spotted the F15 interior for the first time. Below are images of two different prototype X5s, each having different gauges and iDrive buttons. It seems that final designs on those two parts have not yet been finalized and are still undergoing evaluation. The first design seen below shows a larger iDrive button design which features a touchpad surface on top. This dash also features a full black panel display.

We've now spied the 2014 BMW X5 (F15) on video in the first live motion look at the next X5, due at the end of 2013 as a 2014 model. This prototype is spotted in Northern Sweden undergoing cold temperature / winter weather testing. It can be seen purposely inducing slides and drifts, perhaps to test and develop the traction control and xDrive system.
Preliminary info indicates that the hood sits flush with the larger/wider grilles. The headlights are supposed to be trapezoidal shaped and … CONTINUED
The next generation BMW X5 (F15) has begun its public testing! We bring you the first photos of it undergoing winter testing in Northern Sweden. These photos show the F15′s new grille design for the first time – which are clearly larger, wider, and bolder than the current X5′s.
Preliminary info indicates that the hood sits flush with the larger/wider grilles. The headlights are supposed to be trapezoidal shaped and will connect to the headlights, like the F30 3 series. The F15 will also adopt many of … CONTINUED

With the release of the all new 2011 BMW X5 LCI came news of a newly introduced M Sport package for the X5. Details have since come out about the package, but pictures have remained elusive BMW has put up an official picture of the car up on its own website, but only that single photo in a very small size has been released thus far. Thankfully, its only taken about 24 hours for these … CONTINUED
Spyshots.nl does it again! The, soon to be a reality, LCI (facelift) of the X5 has taken the track up north for cold weather testing. This is likely the final round of testing as the car is expected to be revealed on the internet after the conclusion of the Geneva show with its official autoshow presentation in the spring of 2010.
As you can see from the photos, the changes them selves are subtle but have just the right … CONTINUED
Here are some more photos caught once again by the guys over at spyshots.nl. Its still unclear if this front bumper will be the standard new bumper on the X5 or if this represents an M-Sport edition bumper for the X5. At the rear, there will be similar matching changes to the rear bumper and LED taillights which would likely be the most obvious of all the changes.
With all the changes to the BMW X lineup in the last 6-12 months it seems as tho the current X5 has been left behind a little bit. Not that we are all for such a rapid turnover in design tweaks, nevertheless it seems as tho every X car is either being completly redone or refreshed. So it does make sense that the bread and butter X5 not be treated as a second class citizen and get some updates as well. These photos … CONTINUED
Even though the M versions of the X5 and X6 are the big news right now, BMW continues to make improvements on the non-M X5 and is set to release a minor facelift for the car at the same time. The new work on the front will bring the car more inline with the X6 in terms of front end styling.

One of our members Daniel N recently caught this BMW X5 with a large hood mount testing in Michigan. This car has been speculated by most everyone as being a hybrid version of the X5 with technical monitoring equipment resting under the large hood mount.

Eiyuu Senki. While there are no tropes listed on the work page (for some reason), according to the summary:
The gameplay overall is most reminiscent of the Rance series by Alicesoft, with a similar SRPG format as well as Loads and Loads of Characters, most of which you the protagonist can have sex with. Battles are done on a 3-square wide board, with your characters (up to six per battle) on the left and enemies on the right. The game is turn-based, both on the larger campaign map that shows all the various cities that can be conquered, as well as in individual battles. A few actions can be made per campaign turn, such as doing character missions, fighting battles and doing events; as the game progresses you can perform more actions per turn.Is anyone here familiar with this work?

Until further noticeYou'll have problems obtaining it, as far as I know. According to the Hongfire thread, the site's blocked non-Japanese IPs and translators have been hit with a cease and desist order. Like I said previously, judging from user reviews, only about half the characters have H-scenes, but it's never elaborated on which ones are available. And then again, it's also hard to determine the quantity of H-scenes compared to non-H content from screenshots alone. Still, the presence of skimpily dressed apparent pre-teens is not a good sign no matter how you cut it. Reposting Character Database. If we're looking for people who've actually played the game, I'd suggest getting in touch with I Am Not Creative Enough or Five_X, both of whom are still actively posting on the fora. I found some posts that state they've finished the game, so they might be in the best position to comment on the accuracy of our speculations. More research: Japanese wiki suggests that the following characters have CG scenes (unclear if all are H-scenes or not):

Managed to find a link that claims to have a download of the CG. Not sure if it's legit or not, but based on the bottom left image... http://hentai-cg.org/eiyuu-senki/ (Note, definitely NSFW in the slightest) If I remember right, that girl is definitely listed with a child tag, so...backing up Pyrite here.

A few weeks ago I moved from San Francisco to a new city. I'm not at liberty to say which city it is, but let's just say moving here is a real declaration of my independence, and that while it may be rocky at the start, I'm sure there will be a silver lining […]

If you care to, you can read a lot about my generation and the ways in which it is lost. I've always found this to be a pretty lazy generalization; the sort doled out by drunk alums at tailgates who love to tell you how much better things were in their day. All young people […]

Travels With My Grandfather Part V
This might be the last one, because, well, I'm running out of stuff to say and have new ideas for different articles. Let's get freaky with it. This one gets gross.
The Art of Zwar, Ep. 3: Inno Has Never Stopped Believing
This week, Inno puts the Art in Art of Zwar by serenading us with his unearthly voice. And then we talk about it. Please ignore Luc's off-camera chip eating appearance mid way through. Check out the original (but more importantly un-intro'd) house play version here.
The Art of Zwar, Ep. 2: Ellen Gets Rabid

Rate Dr. Brian McNab
Dr. Brian McNab's Ratings
Without at doubt, he is the a blessing to the entire medical profession. He is both kind and empathetic and not judgemental in any way. My self esteem and confindence has greatly improved and I've learned to deal with difficult people I come into contact with in a much more postive way. I'd truly be lost without his wisdom and caring approach.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1138844].votes_count ]]
I saw Dr McNab for over 8 yrs, when he had a practice in Kingston. He saw me through many trying times in my life. He was very caring, always professional, and very kind. I wish he was still in Kingston, as I could sure benefit from more therapy!!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1138843].votes_count ]]
Dr. McNab sees a number of physicians as patients and i happen to be one of them (he was recommended to me by a colleague who saw him). Although I'm not that keen on sites like this (as it's too easy to get a group of people together and 'flame' someone), I feel that Dr. McNab does deserve special recognition for his excellent work. He is very personable, extremely knowledgable, extraordinarily insightful and has been extraordinarily helpful to me. I drive a very considerable distance to see him on a regular basis and it has been more than worth my investment of time and effort.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1138842].votes_count ]]
Dr. McNab has been a real help to me. He's extremely knowledgeable, professional and empathetic. His insights and comments have been genuinely helpful. He also seems like a 'pretty regular guy' - genuinely interested and concerned and not at all full of himself. He's the best MD I've ever encountered.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1138841].votes_count ]]
I don't think that you could find a better doctor out there. Really helpful and full of knowledge. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for Dr. McNab.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1138840].votes_count ]]
In my humble opinion, Dr. McNab is the best psychiatrist that there is. I realize that is just my opinion.

The general election race for the presidency is on between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain as of Saturday night. Sen. Hillary Clinton formally ended her presidential campaign on Saturday, saying to a packed house of thousands of supporters, "I will continue to stand strong with you every time, every place and every way that I can."
Sen. Hillary Clinton thanked her supporters on Saturday in a speech delivered in Washington. Clinton also said that she endorsed Sen. Barack Obama.
She urged the cheering crowd to support Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, in his bid for the White House, saying she and supporters should "take our energy, our passion and our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama ... I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me."
Her endorsement was met with a scattering of boos and thumbs downs from the crowd at the National Building Museum in Washington.
Shortly after the speech, Obama released a statement praising Clinton's presidential run.
During her speech, Clinton encouraged party unity, acknowledging that the fight has been hard, but saying "the Democratic Party is a family, and now it's time to restore the ties that bind us together."
"To all those who voted for me, my commitment to you is unyielding. You have inspired and touched me. You have humbled me with your commitment," she said. "Eighteen million of you from all walks of life -- women, and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich and poor, middle-class, gay and straight ... you have stood with me," she said.
Clinton noted that both she and Obama had made history in their campaigns, citing her historic run as the closest female to reach the presidential nomination in American history.
"When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer: I was proud to be running as a women, but I was running because I thought I'd be the best president," she said. "But I am a woman, and like millions of women, I know that there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious. And I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.
Clinton was accompanied by her husband, former President Clinton; their daughter, Chelsea; and her mother, Dorothy Rodham.

REALITY CHECK: Whatisthe99?
Date: February 20, 2013
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
EAST COUNTY — Stephen King has found his way to the East County.
No, it's not the famous author, whose novels have captivated readers for decades.
But King, who hails from Tusla, Okla., is partly responsible for helping to install a large red tent at the southeast corner of State Road 70 and Lockwood Ridge earlier this month, when he and the rest of an eight-member team with Whatisthe99? brought their traveling reality theater to Bradenton.
More than 240 local volunteers, including 80 local actors, help with the show each night. Performances started Feb. 15 and run from 7 to 11 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March 10. Guests must be at least 11 years old to participate. Cost to watch the show is $3.
"Ninety-nine kids (ages 12 to 24) die in America every day by (making poor) avoidable choices," King said, as he readied the tent on opening day. "Thirty-one will die in a car crash today; 16 in an overdose or drug-related incident; 40 in a homicide or gang (incident); and 12 from suicide. That's why it gets the 99. We believe we can change those numbers by doing this production."
Whatisthe99? organizers partner with local civic and other groups to put on the production, which features 13 rooms, each depicting the consequences of making poor decisions, such as sending text messages while driving, abusing prescription and other drugs and suicide, among others.
Guests walk from room to room to see each drama unfold. The walking tour takes about 45 minutes in total, and guests can ask to leave the room at any time if they become uncomfortable.
"Reality can be scary, but it's not designed to be scary," King said. "Everything you see is depicted as real."
Organization founder and director Terry Henshaw agreed the show is meant to impact youth and help them become more aware of each choice they make.
The venue also gives them an outlet to speak about any trials with which they are dealing. Adult volunteers will be available at the end of the performance to speak with youth about what is going on in their lives, if they so desire.
"Most teenagers have no one they can talk with," Henshaw said. "They don't feel like they can talk with anyone without it being posted on Facebook. Some have parents on drugs or don't have food to eat. Kids are going to school with these burdens. They aren't able to be kids."
Henshaw said the Whatsthe99? is a faith-based initiative, with a short presentation at the end of the show.
For more information, visit whatisthe99.com/page3/index.php.
Contact Pam Eubanks at email@example.com.
When: 7 to 11 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March 10
Where: 4536 53rd Ave. E., Bradenton
What: A walk-through reality theater depicts a scene of an accident and other potentiall graphic incidents. Participants must be at least 11 years old to enter.
Cost: $3
Info: whatisthe99.com/page3/index.php
What is the 99?
31 — Youths die in car crashes daily
16 — Youths die in an overdose or drug-related incident daily
40 — Youths die in a homicide or gang-related incident daily
12 — Youths commit suicide daily
99 — Total number of daily preventable teenage deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Gifts for the Kids: Give them something to stay up all night for. These are some items that we think will make perfect gifts for the kids.
Roces ski boots are the perfect choice for your child whose foot is still growing (that's probably the majority of them.) If you click on our link below you can find more information about these boots and how they work than you would ever need. The two buckle boots (16.0-18.5 and 19.0-22.0) are to be used with children's bindings. The larger (22.5-25.5) three buckle boots can be used with any bindings
We here at levelninesports.com are absolute fans of this product and work closely with the manufacturer to improve the product. The changes from introduction to arrival in North America the season are bigger pins for the latch so the sizing set is rock solid secure, internal latch springs, and a softer flex so it is usable by all ranges of junior skiers.
IDEA is the first ski boot growing with the kids. Through the patent pending '6in1' technology, it is possible to adjust the size of the ski boot, both length- and height-wise, according to the natural growth of the kids' foot, leg and ankle.
There are two main advantages to getting Roces boots for your junior skier. The first is obvious in that you don't have to constantly buy new boots to get a great fit. Often overlooked is that since you are not getting new boots, you don't need to remount bindings as your child's foot grows, since the sole length of the boot remains the same as you expand and contract the fit.
When adjusting the size of the boot, make sure to always unbuckle the boot before adjusting the size. Use the included lever bar to turn the tab and adjust the size, no other tools should ever be used to adjust the fitting size.
Adjustable rear spoiler: With a quick adjustment, the height at the top rear of the boot can be raised or lowered. If you are taller than average for your boot size, or if you just want the extra support at the back of the leg, you can adjust the spoiler up about 1cm from standard. This will also pitch you forward slightly into a more aggressive stance.
Micro Adjustable Plastic Buckles: These buckles are plastic to keep them lightweight, but unlike most plastic buckles they do have micro-adjustment capability so you can clamp down the boot at the perfectly comfortable position.
For The Kids: A select list of our favorite junior gear. Hand picked by our very own ski gurus. This product made the cut.
Recommended Use: CarvingAbility Level: Beginner-AdvancedWidth: Youth WideFlex: 55Flex Adjustment: NoBuckle Count: 2,3Strap Width: No StrapCuff Alignment: NoLiner: AdjustableReplaceable Toe/Heel: YesSki/Walk: NoManufacturer Warranty: 1 year

C2E2 | Terry Moore is here!
by Brigid Alverson | March 18, 2011 @ 3:00 PM | No Comments |
Terry Moore just announced his new series, Rachel Rising, yesterday, so he was getting a bit of attention at his booth. I asked him how far ahead he has written the story, and he said, "I have plotted out through the first trade. I have a really good feel for her and for the setting of the town, but I'm still think of new things. It's like when you prepare for a tennis match, and things start happening after you start playing."

Avenged Sevenfold I Won't See You Tonight (part 1) Lyrics
Last updated: 01/14/2013 12:00:29 PM
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved
Building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight
Sorrow sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
So far away, I'm gone.
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for submitting I Won't See You Tonight (part 1) Lyrics.
I <3 this song. | Reviewer: Dave Tree | 1/14/13
This song is one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion. Most people who dont really know much about Avenged Sevenfold probably think it is about The Rev, but it isnt. This song and album was made while he was still alive. It is talking about the bass player they had before Johnny Christ joined. He suffered from suicidal tendencies. The song is about the suicide note that he left M. Shadows.
:) | Reviewer: Gorgia | 11/17/12
i love the rev so much and i cried when i saw it on the news and everyone calls him a stupid metal head and i go off my narnys at them. they have no respect for the people who actuall deserve it. i am offically in love with this song ♥♥♥♥ I LOVE THE REV!!!
Such beauty and passion | Reviewer: Jasmine | 5/20/12
When I heard this song for the first time it hit my heart because it had so much passion in it, matts voice is just perfect for this song, the lyrics are so beautiful and so meaningful.
R.I.P rev, we will love you foREVer, your were my god and my inspiration. We all miss you!<3
REAL STORY BEHIND THIS SONG!! | Reviewer: Chase | 8/13/11
The song is literally written like a suicide note look at it
It is about M Shadows best friend, Justin Meacham aka Justin Sane, Justin Sane was his stage name, used in irony because he was far from sane sadly (former A7X bass player) who had severe depression and tried to commit suicide by drinking bottles of cough syrup.
"sorrow sank deep inside my blood" that's depression.
it's rummored that part of a suicide letter that Justin wrote to Shadows is included in the song (although A7X neither aknowleges or denies it) . ppl think if any part of the song is of justins' penmenship it's> "but I can't see myself that way. please don't forget me or cry while I'm away"
In the song 'justin' says he's 'setting himself free' and 'don't blame yourself or cry for me'
an interesting line in the song is "so far away i've gone. please don't follow me tonight"
I think this is part of justin's suicde letter because it's only something a suicidal person could possibly think of.
In the song you'll notice he worries significanly about how the people he loved would react. asking Shadows 'not to follow him'
"No more breath inside, essence left my heart tonight." nobody is sure on whether this was in Justins letter and shadows added it or if shadows composed this bit himself but very deep and powerfull
</3 Fave band | Reviewer: Josh Clarke | 6/11/11
This song is amazing, it's meaning is so strong. M.Shadows is the best singer I've ever heard. I've only been a fan of metal and A7X for two years but I love them soooo much. It's a shame about The Rev, fave drummer of all time. But they've carried on which is good, I'm sure that would have been what he wanted. They're new song is amazing (Not Ready To Die) Love them
the matrix | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/15/11
in my opinion, this song could have been used in the movie "the matrix" theres a part in the film where neo has realised that he is the one, and he will be able to save morphius. this song always reminds me of that scene, song section 5.25 - 6.50
Thebassse | Reviewer: Mike | 3/28/11
This song is very meaningful but it was written about the bands first bass player who went through months of suicidal tendencies. Shadows walked in on him trying to kill himself with cough medicine. They had to let him go and get a new bass player. Sad story, but great song.
Simply beautiful. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/10
Anyone realize how PERFECTLY this goes with Matt talking to Jimmy? This is probably my favorite song of all time. That's right, not just of A7X, but of any band to have ever made a song ever. The pure passion and work put into this, coupled with Matt's best performance I've ever heard, this is an absolutely AMAZING song.
Favorite Band | Reviewer: Ryan McCoy | 11/3/10
This song is the most powerful and moving song that i think ive ever heard....i had no clue that the rev died until sum1 told me. I gotta tell you...i hate it that the rev died. The guy was an insane drummer, and i will never forget him...
R.I.P Rev
Favourite band | Reviewer: blurgle | 10/10/10
The piano instrumental section is so powerful, even without lyrics. This is possibly the most moving song you will ever listen to, almost made me cry... So much emotion put into this piece of music :')
RIP Jimmy
This Song | Reviewer: Natalie Strachan | 9/29/10
Avenged Sevenfold are the best band in the world, im 13 and i have been listening to them my whole life tbh, they are fuckin' amazing. when i heard that Jimmy"The Rev"Sullivan died i cried m heart out that was the saddest day of my life tbh, he was the best drummer in the world and his memor will be alive foREVer. and this song i just cant get enough of it i love this song soo much <3 xxxx
Depression | Reviewer: Vengeance07 | 8/5/10
Well this song was the most depressing song I ever heard until Fiction... but I always had the interest in this song because of the lyrics and the passion that is being transmited to the audience and fans... as always I hear a depressing song and now all I think of is the REV, the way he always had a smile on his face and gave all that he had to give in the concerts... I just wanted to take a minute to show my respects to the family and to say that this is the best drummer ever... I felt like hell when he past away, yeah I cried a lot, and also I wondered why someone so full of life could just leave this world and left all this memories that now us the fans are always replaying them in our minds... I just want to say that I miss him and that he will always be in my heart foREVer... and I'll be here to keep on drumming in your memory Jimmy!! I love u
rest in peace | Reviewer: grey | 7/27/10
i've never had to cry myself to sleep until i heard that the rev died. i couldn't listen to avenged sevenfold's music for months because all i could hear was the sounds of his drums and it'd leave me crying but after listening to this, i've sung myself to sleep with these lyrics and it comfort me that the guys have been able to go on and perform and share their music with us. the piano introduction is the most calming thing to hear these days (even now that's it's almost been a year) and i know jimmy's legacy will live on as long as i can listen to their music.
ramble ramble~
pain | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/12/10
I've ever listened to this song for an hour repeatedly. I can't hold my self not to listening it again and again. I can feel the essence of this song is so deep. As though I also feel what they felt when they wrote this song. I think M Shadows did his part very well, it makes the song can send a special feeling to the listener. This is my fav song.
</3 | Reviewer: ShannA7X | 6/9/10
Man, this song gets me everytime, when I'm sat in the living room, being watched by my Mom and Dad, it's so hard not to cry...Every word in this song I understand, because my brother took his own life 6 almost 7 years ago and Avenged Sevenfold have kept me on my feet for that amount of time. I love you boys.
I mean...I hope they keep going. Nightmare is a sick ass song, I wanna find where 'So Far Away' by Gates...anyone know?
Rip Jimmybear. Miss you more everyday babes. Loveyou my Retarded Gollywog. (private joke, please don't take offence) xx

Expect stronger enforcement of RESPA violations
WASHINGTON – June 16, 2014 – A transfer of duties took enforcement of Real Estate Settlement and Practices Act (RESPA) violations from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and gave them to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Effective today, the transfer of power is complete.
The result: While laws have not changed, the power transfer has resulted in stricter enforcement and more lawsuits and settlements.
Under HUD, RESPA enforcement was spotty. But CFPB "has taken it to a whole different level," says Gary Lacefield, a former RESPA officer. CFPB has logged 11 RESPA violations – settlements and lawsuits – since 2011.
For example, a large real estate company in Alabama, RealtySouth, paid a $500,000 penalty earlier this year, though the firm settled without admitting guilt. Under CFPB's allegations, RealtySouth directed buyers to its own title company, TitleSouth, in the contract. The contract also included the required disclosures, but CFPB claimed they were buried.
According to Marx David Sterbcow, a New Orleans lawyer specializing in RESPA, CFPB doesn't "care how big your company is – nor do they care how small your company is."
In another case announced by CFPB late last week, a New Jersey company, Stonebridge Title Services Inc., announced it would pay $30,000 for illegal referral kickbacks.
The Bureau alleges that Stonebridge paid commissions as high as 40 percent to more than 20 independent salespeople. Referral commissions are allowed under RESPA if the recipient is an employee of the company paying the referral; but in this case – even though the individuals received W-2 tax forms as employees – the CFPB determined that they were independent contractors and not bona fide employees.
Responsibility for administration of RESPA statutes, including authority to issue regulations, was transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) pursuant to title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). While the power transfer was done over time, it's fully effective today.

You think the team we had last year was a playoff team with 6 regulars missing from the roster at one point, and several regulars gone for the entire season, and with the team's minor league callups being just that - minor leaguers who got called up to fill big league slots? I mean, especially when the team captain and leading scorer basically quit on the team from February on.
Your expectations are too high - you can hold Cohen's feet to the fire over the results the past couple of seasons...even Keenan - probably not Dudley so much since he never got a chance to have his own plan in place. You can even blame Huizenga for putting out the edict to Bryan Murray and his successors that payroll had to be brought down to a minimal amount while he tried to sell the team, a process that took over 4 years if I recall. But then changed tack and said go ahead and get the big marquis star to try to attract interest...but then went back again and said get rid of all the other better players on the team in order to trim payroll again for a sale.
This team got screwed big time by previous ownership, and it only was exacerbated by Cohen's overconfidence that he could learn how to run a pro-sports franchise hands-on. But as long as he's gone to hands-off mode and allows the team to spend the money needed to win (which is still in question) then -
if fans have a little more patience left in their pinky toes
- this team will be able to turn around and become a perennial playoff contender at the least.
"...and ultimately it doesn't matter."

Caitriona Balfe had no idea that Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" novels were such a big deal.In fact, the Irish actress had never heard of the bestselling author until last summer.Then, when Balfe landed an audition to star in the TV adaptation, she got her first clue."I took myself to my local bookstore and purchased the last volume of Outlander that they had," Balfe says. "As I was paying, the cashier informed me that they were going to make a TV series out of it."I was chuckling to myself about that one."Days later, Balfe was cast as time-traveling Claire Randall, a World War II combat nurse mysteriously transported to 1743 Scotland.Now, as Outlander is set to premiere at 8 p.m. Saturday on Starz, Balfe counts herself as one of Gabaldon's loyal fans.She has a lot of company. There are more than 25 million copies of the "Outlander" books in print."It's nice, as a new show, that we don't have to go in search for that initial fan base," Balfe says. "We're lucky that Diana has given us her blessing.""Her fans have been so supportive," leading man Sam Heughan adds. "They've created fan groups for the show. They've raised money for the charities Caitriona and I support. There's even a group of them that tracks us down wherever we are filming up in the Scottish Highlands and they bake cakes for us and stuff."We find it lovely that they've accepted us. Hopefully, they'll be pleased when they finally see the show."Based on an early screening of the first two episodes, the fans have nothing to worry about.The show, which blends elements of historical fiction, romance and adventure with a light touch of sci-fi, is an entertaining and satisfying ride."It's an incredible story," Balfe says. "It has so many universal, timeless themes in it: loss and displacement and love and the search for home and what home really means for people."And for me, the opportunity to sink my teeth into material like that was a huge gift. Claire is an incredible character — so strong and so intelligent and really quite timeless."Claire's adventure begins in 1945, when she and her husband take a romantic trip to Scotland. While passing through a mysterious formation of standing stones, she is suddenly thrust back in time, to a tumultuous chapter in Scottish history, a time of uprisings against the English crown.When Claire meets Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and handsome Scottish warrior, there is immediate chemistry — and so begins a complicated love triangle with men from two very different centuries.Speaking of romance, the beautifully filmed show is practically a mash note to Scotland. Executive producer and writer Ronald D. Moore (of Battlestar Galactica fame) chose wisely when he decided that Outlander had to be filmed on location instead of on a sound stage in Los Angeles.Scotland becomes practically another character in the show."It would have been impossible really to film it anywhere else," Balfe says. "The setting is so integral to the story." Outlander has gone the extra mile in countless ways, she adds, to make everything in the show as authentic as possible, from the sets to the wardrobes to the dialects.In the second episode, for example, there's a scene in which Claire dons traditional 18th-century clothes — and there are so many layers to wear, it's almost as if she's an astronaut preparing for space flight.No wonder the women from that time period tended to let the men take charge, she says."The corsets restrict your lung capacity and the heavy skirts restrict your movement," Balfe points out. "It's hard to be a modern women with those constraints."

It is the blessed world of faith to which we are all called, to walk without fear following the Lord Jesus Christ. And sometimes it is difficult journey, one that even knows trial and death, but one that is open to life, in a radical transformation of reality that only the eyes of faith can see and enjoy in abundance.

Published in Europe
Keywords: Faith, Abraham, living by faith, counterculture, holiness, year of faith, Pope Benedict XVI
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We present the official Vatican Translation of Pope Benedict's Wednesday Catechetical teaching to the Pilgrims who gathered in St. Peter's Square in its entirety below:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In this Year of the faith, I would like to start today to reflect with you on the Creed, the solemn profession of faith which accompanies our lives as believers. The Creed begins, "I believe in God." It is a fundamental affirmation, deceptively simple in its essence, but which opens the infinite world of our relationship with the Lord and with His mystery.
Believing in God implies attachment to him, welcoming his Word and joyful obedience to His revelation. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us, "Faith is a personal act - the free response of the human person to the initiative of God who reveals himself" (n. 166).
Being able to say that we believe in God is therefore both a gift and a commitment, it is divine grace and human responsibility, in an experience of dialogue with God who, out of love, "speaks to men as friends" (Dei Verbum, 2), speaks to us so that, in faith and with faith, we enter into communion with Him.
Where can we hear God speaking to us? Holy Scripture is fundamental, in which the Word of God becomes audible for us and nourishes our life as "friends" of God. The entire Bible recounts God's revelation to humanity, the entire Bible speaks of faith and teaches us faith by telling a story in which God carries out His plan of redemption and makes Himself close to man, through many luminous figures of people who believe in Him and trust Him, to the fullness of the revelation of the Lord Jesus.
In this regard, chapter 11 of the Letter to the Hebrews is most beautiful, which speaks of faith and highlights the great biblical figures who lived and became a model for all believers: "Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen"(11.1). The eyes of faith are thus able to see the unseen and the heart of the believer can hope beyond all hope, just as Abraham, who Paul says in Romans "believed, hoping against hope" (4.18 ).
In fact I would like to focus my attention on Abraham, because he is the first major reference point when speaking about faith in God, the great patriarch Abraham, role model, father of all believers (cf. Rom 4.11 to 12 ). The Letter to the Hebrews presents him as follows:
"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; he went out, not knowing where he was to go. By faith he sojourned in the promised land as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs of the same promise; for he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and maker is God"(11.8 to 10).
The author of Hebrews refers here to the call of Abraham, narrated in the Book of Genesis. What does God ask of this great patriarch? He asks him to leave, abandoning his country and to go to the country that He will show him, "Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father's house to a land that I will show you" (Gen 12:1). How would we respond to an invitation like that? It is, in fact, a departure in the dark, not knowing where God will lead him, it is a journey that calls for obedience and radical trust, which only faith can access.
But the darkness of the unknown is illuminated by the light of a promise: God adds a reassuring word to His command that opens a future of life in its fullness to Abraham: "I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great; ... All the families of the earth will find blessing in you"(Gen 12,2.3).
The blessing in Holy Scripture, is related primarily to the gift of life that comes from God, and manifests itself primarily in fertility, in a life that is multiplied, passing from generation to generation. And the blessing is also connected to the experience of owning a land, a stable place to live and grow in freedom and security, fearing God and building a society of men loyal to the Alliance, "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (cf. Ex 19:6).
So Abraham, in the divine plan, is destined to become the "father of a multitude of nations" (Gen 17.5; cf. Rom 4:17-18) and to enter into a new land to live. But Sara, his wife, is sterile, unable to have children, and the country to which God leads him far from his native land, is already inhabited by other peoples, and will never really belong to them. The biblical narrator emphasizes this, although very discreetly: When Abraham arrived in the place of God's promise: "the Canaanites were then in the land" (Gen 12:6).
The land that God gives to Abraham does not belong to him, he is a stranger and will remain so forever, with all that this entails: having no intentions of possession, always averting their poverty, seeing everything as a gift. This is also the spiritual condition of those who agree to follow the Lord, who decide to leave, accepting His call, under the sign of His invisible but powerful blessing. And Abraham, the "father of believers," accepted this call, in the faith.
St. Paul writes in his Letter to the Romans: "He believed, hoping against hope, that he would become "the father of many nations," according to what was said, "Thus shall your descendants be." He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body as [already] dead (for he was almost a hundred years old) and the dead womb of Sarah. 20He did not doubt God's promise in unbelief; rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God 21and was fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do"(Rom 4.18 to 21).
Faith leads Abraham to on a paradoxical journey. He will be blessed, but without the visible signs of blessing: he is promised he will become a great nation, but with a life marked by the barrenness of Sarah his wife; he is brought to a new home but will have to live there as a foreigner, and the only possession of the land that he will be allowed will be that of a piece of land in which to bury Sarah (cf. Gen 23.1 to 20). Abraham was blessed because, in faith, he was able to discern the divine blessing going beyond appearances, trusting in God's presence even when His ways appear mysterious to him.
What does this mean for us? When we say, "I believe in God," we say, like Abraham: "I trust you, I entrust myself to You, Lord," but not as Someone to run to only in times of difficulty or to whom to dedicate a few moments of the day or of the week. Saying "I believe in God" means grounding my life in Him, letting His Word guide each day, in the concrete choices without fear of losing something of myself.
When, in the Rite of Baptism, we are asked three times: "Do you believe?" In God, in Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church and the other truths of faith, the triple response is in the singular: "I believe," because it is my personal existence that reaches a turning point with the gift of faith, it is my life that must change, convert. Each time we participate in a Baptism we should ask ourselves how we live the great gift of faith every day.
Abraham, the believer, teaches us faith, and, as a stranger on earth, shows us the true homeland. Faith makes us pilgrims on earth, inserted into the world and history, but on the way to the heavenly homeland. Believing in God makes us carries of values which often do not coincide with the prevailing fashion and opinion, it requires us to adopt criteria and a conduct which do not belong to the common way of thinking.
The Christian should not be afraid to go "against the grain" to live his or her faith, resisting the temptation to "conform". In many societies God has become the "great absentee" and there are many and diverse idols now in His place, above all possesion. And also the significant and positive progress in science and technology have created in humans an illusion of omnipotence and self-sufficiency, and a growing self-centeredness, which has created many imbalances within relationships and social behaviours.
And yet, the thirst for God (cf. Ps 63.2) has not been extinguished and the Gospel message continues to resonate through the words and deeds of many men and women of faith. Abraham, the father of believers, continues to be the father of many children who are willing to walk in his footsteps and set out in obedience to the divine call, trusting in the benevolent presence of the Lord and accepting His blessing to be a blessing for all.
It is the blessed world of faith to which we are all called, to walk without fear following the Lord Jesus Christ. And sometimes it is difficult journey, one that even knows trial and death, but one that is open to life, in a radical transformation of reality that only the eyes of faith can see and enjoy in abundance.
Saying "I believe in God" leads us, then, to set out, to continually go beyond ourselves, just as Abraham, to bring the certainty that comes from faith: the certainty into our daily reality, that is, the presence of God in history, even today, a presence that brings life and salvation, and opens us to a future with Him for a fullness of life without sunset.

Scaly and slimy creatures featured at Oct. 13 event in Sycamore
Staff Report
SYCAMORE, Ill. — Join the Midwest Museum of Natural History from 7 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13, for a presentation by Dr. Richard King of Northern Illinois University about scaly and slimy creatures.
Cost is $5 per person for museum members, seniors and students, and $7 per person for non-members. Tour the museum before the lecture; doors will open at 6 p.m. No registration is required.
Dr. King has a long history of working to understand and conserve reptiles and amphibians throughout the Midwest. His projects cover a lot of ground and include research on garter snake color patterns, captive breeding of the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, habitat restoration and amphibian reintroduction, and Blanding's turtle recovery planning.
In addition to his recent projects, Dr. King will focus on the work he has done on conservation biology of the Lake Erie water snake, a species with a comeback story that has a happy ending.
Ken Salazar, secretary of the Interior, explained: "The Lake Erie Water snake has joined species such as the bald eagle, the American alligator and the peregrine falcon that have rebounded from the threat of extinction and no longer require the protection of the Endangered Species Act. These species, and the hundreds of others whose extinction has been prevented by the act, are living testimonies to its ability to bring species back from the brink by protecting them and conserving and restoring their habitat."
The Oct. 13 program is designed for ages high school to adult. All proceeds benefit the museum.
The Midwest Museum of Natural History is at 425 W. State St., Sycamore, Ill. Call (815) 895-9777 or visit www.mmnh.org.
