Bemidji, MN 56601-2699
Aquatic Biology is a special program within the Biology Department. This arrangement provides complementary breadth to the depth of training in Aquatic Biology.
The aquatic biology faculty, Drs. Cloutman, Guelda, and Koch have expertise in lake, riverine and wetland ecology studying aspects such as water chemistry, carbon dynamics, invertebrates, plankton, aquatic plants, and fish.
Our program is centered in the H.T. Peters Aquatics Laboratory, a 4000 square foot facility situated on Lake Bemidji. This facility features a classroom, water laboratory, computer room, and areas for student projects. A recent addition to the classroom area is a display aquarium honoring the late Dr. Charles S. Holt, Emeritus Professor of Aquatic Biology.
Located in the lake district of Minnesota, our close proximity to many lakes, wetlands, and rivers makes our campus an ideal place to study aquatic biology in summer and winter. Bemidji is located at the convergence of three major biomes and three major river systems allowing unique research and learning opportunities for our students. The Mississippi River begins in Lake Itasca, about sixty kilometers upstream of Lake Bemidji, and the Big Bog State Park, the largest contiguous bog in North America, is just to our north.
Hobson Memorial Forest, privately owned by BSU, is just a few miles away and a favorite place for both faculty and student research and recreation.
Fourth year students participate in individual research projects that are collaboratively designed, executed and analyzed. These are then presented to fellow students in a senior seminar or at professional meetings. Many senior research projects are submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
All students complete an internship with an agency or company that deals with water resources.
These experiences provide students with training and exposure to various sub-fields of aquatic biology and fisheries, and often lead directly to employment with these agencies. Our Aquatic Biology program is small and selective - The small size of our program assures one-on-one interactions with faculty and allows students to tailor their program to meet specific needs.

Watch a New Video from Pearson Sound
- Words: Shawn Reynaldo
Pearson Sound surprisingly closed out January by issuing a two-track 7" single, "Raindrops," via his own eponymous label. Now, the London-based producer and Hessle Audio co-founder has followed it up with an official video. The record, which essentially features two takes on a single song idea, is rather subdued—not to mention entirely beatless—so it makes sense that the video for "Raindrops" would be similarly subtle. Over the course of three and a half minutes, the music's plinking tones are matched by hazy patches of colored light, which gradually swell and envelop the entire screen. The video can be viewed below.

Paul Ryan's Skeleton in the Closet
"These Rand-related slams, Ryan says, are inaccurate and part of an effort on the left to paint him as a cold-hearted Objectivist," said the magazine's Robert Costa, who quoted Ryan as saying, "You know you've arrived in politics when you have an urban legend about you, and this one is mine."
If Ryan is getting a bad rap as a Randian, then he is definitely a victim of an injustice. But Ryan didn't have a brief flirtation with this atheistic, amoral -- but highly appealing -- philosophy as a youth. He was a full-fledged Randian as a Congressman. He didn't change his views. He is lying about them.
In 2005, he gave a speech to the Atlas Society, an organization devoted to the promulgation of Rand's views. A tape recorder was running. An audio file of his speech can be accessed here. It's important to listen to the entire tape, which runs about 20 minutes, to understand the full depths of Ryan's dishonesty.
"I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are and what my beliefs are. It's inspired me so much that it's required reading in my office for all my interns and my staff."The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. And the fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism. "When you look at the 20th century experiment with collectivism that Ayn Rand more than anybody else did such a good job of articulating, the pitfalls of statism and collectivism, you can't find a thinker or writer who did a better job of describing and laying out the moral case for capitalism than Ayn Rand." He went on and on like that, speaking like the strident Objectivist that he is, invoking Rand hero John Galt and the "money speech" in Atlas Shrugged, beloved by all Rand followers, given by the dissolute playboy (but covert government-hating revolutionary) Francisco d'Anconia: "It's so important that we go back to our roots to look at Ayn Rand's vision, her writings, to see what our girding, under-grounding principles are. I always go back to, you know, Francisco d'Anconia's speech ... on money when I think about monetary policy," Ryan said.

Get Him to the Greek reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller in the story of a record company intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People).
Aaron Green (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.'s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril.
British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn't mean he can't have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back, right before kick-starting his world domination.
As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek.

[WARNING: The following contains spoilers from Sunday's Game of Thrones episode, "Mockingbird." If you haven't watched yet, it's best to sit this one out.]Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish finally had to lift a finger. On Sunday's Game of Thrones, the wily political schemer killed a third person this season, but this time, he did the honors with his own bare hands...
read more
With only two episodes of Game of Thrones to go, the action really came to a head with the absence of The Hand (see what we did there?) on Sunday's episode. Yes, winter is coming, but the battle has already begun at King's Landing. Who will survive? Let's take a look at "The Pointy End" for clues.
TVGuide.com's Hanh Nguyen is an avid scripted-TV watcher, a horror-avoider and someone who's read George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series, on which HBO's Game of Thrones is based. Colleague Rich Juzwiak rarely watches scripted TV, is a gorehound and became alerted to Martin's existence just recently, as he started researching this new swords-and-sandals (well, boots) series. He knows nothing of these sorcerers (if that is indeed what they are), while Hanh is something of an expert (read: fantasy/sci-fi nerd). Each week, he'll try to make sense of this crazy new show by enlisting Hanh's expertise. It may turn out to be a test of tolerance: in this case, the Games begin after the TV is off.
Now that we're halfway into the Game of Thrones season, the action has really become meaty (much like the roast venison that graces King Robert's table). In Sunday's episode, everyone gets in on the killing (even The Imp!) and there's so much intrigue to be had, the action actually stayed in Westeros the entire time. To balance out the multiple deaths and brutality, we got a whimsical helping of grotesquery thanks to original scenes written specifically for the HBO series. Shall we delve into "The Wolf and the Lion"?

Hello to all,
What follows here is some basic background info on me. I have to say up front even though I've written a book, and enjoy writing; I have little desire to write (or talk) about myself, no subject bores me more. But I do so here just to introduce myself and more importantly give you some insight into my background, and how it helped develop my ideas on physical training.
I grew up in upstate New York. We lived in the wooded foothills on the outskirts of the small city of Troy. Which is located just up the Hudson River from the state capital of Albany. Sports and doing things outdoors was a big part of my life growing up. Due to the varied climate and geography of this area, there are an almost endless variety of outdoor activities to participate in. Plus with New York City located just a few hours south and Boston a few hours to the east of where I lived, there's a huge interest in professional sports, and I remain a die hard New York Yankee, and Jets fan to this day. From all this I gained a life long interest in sports and outdoor recreation, its something that I've never lost. Many of my family and friends think this is more due to my ADHD, than anything else. I'll admit there may be some truth to that.
Right after high school graduation I went to work doing construction
work. For the next few years I worked long hours doing heavy manual
labor (for about $2.00 - $4.00 an hour). This first hand experience with
hard physical work would also have a big influence on my future thinking
about physical fitness. (I witnessed some pretty amazing physical feats by
the older men I worked with.) Even though I worked a lot, I had energy to
burn, so I stayed busy in my off time training, and some competing in
Olympic weight lifting, power lifting, road racing and especially amateur
In 1981 after about three years of it, I became bored with construction work
and being punched in the face every night boxing. So I started
looking around for new and frankly, a tougher challenge and found
the Marine Corps. No big surprise here, the Marine Corps has always
been a home for people like myself. You know the restless, hyper,
general pain in the ass type. In any case I very quickly found the
challenge I was looking for. As you would guess, being a U.S. Marine can
be very tough physically, but it was a completely different type of physical
requirement than sports, or working construction. From the very first day of
boot camp, I loved the hard ass life of a US Marine, I knew right then this
was for me. I ended up staying for the next 28 years and I loved
every minute of it.
I spent my life as a Marine deploying all over the world, and the United States, and visited over 30 different countries by my last count. I served first in the Infantry, and then later in Aviation Ordnance. While both are all Marine these are two different (as to their day to day duties), but both very physical military occupations. I slowly learned through much trial and error how to keep myself in top condition regardless of my location, work schedule, aboard a Navy ship, traveling, in the field, etc. Whenever possible I also continued to participate in sports. I did road races, triathlons, karate, boxing, and bike races to name a few. I also hiked, canoed, lifted weights, played softball, scuba dived, etc, etc. Along the way I became a certified boxing trainer and trained 100's of Marines to box, running some local boxing teams when I had the chance. I tried just about everything, and anything that caught my interest over the years. From all this I gained a lot of practical experience about PT, and diet. Not just from my own experience, but from the training, and observation of many hundreds of Marines. Well into my forties I was still going strong, maintaining a high Marine Corps physical fitness test all along the way. I ran my last official PFT two days before I retired, and at age 49 I ran a 273 out of the max score 300. Ok not a 300, but give me a break dog, it was pretty hot in New Orleans that morning. Probably a bigger accomplishment was that I remained virtually injury free all my life, which (knock on my wooden head) I continue to this day.
After about 15-20 years of service I started to notice many of my Marine buddies were having a hard time remaining in top physical condition, to include keeping their weight within standards, and staying healthy. Many of these Marines were people I had known for years, and when they were younger they were some serious physical studs. Trust me when I tell you I knew many gifted athletes, and some very tough guys during my time in the Corps. Most were also more athletic than I was. So what was the difference? Luck? Genetics? Maybe, but I also had been experimenting and developing my own personal fitness system and mindset, over the years and had stubbornly stuck with my own ideas, despite some skepticism and much ball breaking from my friends. As time went on, and the longterm benefits of my methods started to become obvious, I started to think that maybe I was on to something.
In 2001 (at age 41) I was transferred to run the Aviation Ordnance "A" school in Pensacola, Fl. This is where new Marines learn the very basic's of the Aviation Ordnance field before going out into the Fleet Marine Corps. The course is about four weeks long. While these were for the most part young Devil Dogs (17-21 year olds), many were showing up in relatively poor condition after being out of boot camp for several weeks. Our school had a PT (physical training) program in place, but it was a weak program that had yielded little real improvements. As I was the new senior Marine I was determined to fix that issue. I also saw this as a opportunity to test out some of my own ideas on a larger scale, and compare the results to the standard program.
So we got some heavy logs, sandbags, and we started doing most of our PT in boots like I did myself. I kept detailed records of student progress, and from the very start we noticed a rapid improvement in the PFT (Physical Fitness Test) scores of our students and the staff.
Over the next two year time span, roughly 1200 Marine students increased their PFT scores an average of 24 points in only about 30 days. That was with only on average 12 PT sessions of one hour each, with the first and last of those being just a PFT! Ask any Marine you know if this is a good improvement? This is a big jump for that short a time, and low actual number of PT sessions. Some did much better, but 24 points was the average. Now I will admit, at times these were some pretty intense sessions, In fact I still have Marines come up to me about the PT we did back then. Yes they were tough, but not impossible. The key to the program success was not balls-out mindless intensity, but the structure, makeup and focus of the program. We also made good improvements in weight control and experienced very few injuries.
Not long after that I deployed to Iraq for a year. I'm no war hero by the way, but I did serve with many. My duties had me traveling to many parts of Iraq and one of the things you quickly noticed, was it's very diverse group of people serving there. Even in very remote spots you'd see every branch of the military to include all the reserve branches, older National Guard folks and civilian contractors of almost every occupation. Besides all the obvious combat related tasks, I observed almost every conceivable type of physical work being done by all different levels of physical fitness, and ages (men and women). As I'm always curious about what people are up to PT wise, Every chance I got, I questioned people about their physical conditioning. How it effected their job performance, what were the hard parts (physically) of what they had to do? How were they holding up to the long hours, the stress, the heat? What they did (if anything) to stay in shape, what foods did they feel helped them best? I learned a lot, and to be honest much of it just confirmed some of my own ideas on physical conditioning.
I also had many friends who were fireman, and working in law enforcement. I asked them for input on their physical requirements, and had them try out my system. They gave me great honest input and recommendations. So from all my years of personal experience, and tons of gathered data I started to formally put together my system. The end result was that in 2010 I published my book "Corps Strength" to tell my story and explain my PT methods.
In August of 2009 I retired form active duty as a Master Gunnery Sergeant, and went right to work as a PT and Leadership instructor at the U. S. Navy's International Training Center located here in Pensacola. During the last four years I've had the opportunity to train many hundreds of active duty military personnel from all over the world, and we've used my PT system with great success to improve their own physical readiness and help them design PT programs for their own military.

Installing Indico
Only v0.97+
0. Before starting
Currently, Indico can only run on mod_python, using the Apache httpd server. Make sure you install them for your operating system (as well as Python, of course), if you don't have them yet. These are the recommended versions:
- Python 2.4+
- Apache httpd 2.2+
- mod_python 3.3+
- setuptools 0.6 - older versions of Python (<=2.4)
Some older versions will probably work, but we cannot guarantee that everything goes fine. Regarding Python, don't hesitate to use 2.5 or 2.6 - we plan to move from 2.4 soon, anyway.
If you're building indico from the development source, please easy_install jstools first.
Since the setup process fetches all the other dependencies automatically, just install libxml2, libxslt (both with Python bindings), PIL and ReportLab manually, and jump to the next section.
This is the complete list of dependencies (if for some reason you need to install them manually):
- PIL (version 1.1.7 already includes support for interlaced PNGs)
- ReportLab
- ZODB 3 (3.7 at least, but 3.8+ recommended)
- jstools (build-only, read above)
- pytz
- zope.index
- simplejson
- libxml2 and libxslt
- Indico extras (e.g. ttfonts)
1. Installing it
There are two options:
fetching a release
You can do it using easy_install, a tarball or an egg file, as explained here.
from Git
You should have checked out a cds-indico directory. cd into it and simply do (as root):
# python setup.py install
The setup script will fetch all the dependencies for you and install Indico as a Python EGG in your Python library path.
2. Post-Install script
The next step is to run indico_initial_setup:
# indico_initial_setup No previous installation of Indico was found. Please specify a directory prefix: [/opt/indico]:
and follow the instructions that the script will provide. By default, Indico will be installed under /opt/indico, but the setup script allows you to specify other paths.
By the end of the process, you should have obtained some information on how to start the database:
If you are running ZODB on this host: - Review etc/zodb.conf and etc/zdctl.conf to make sure everything is ok. - To start the database run: zdaemon -C etc/zdctl.conf start
As well as some information on the paths:
indico.conf: /opt/indico/etc/indico.conf BinDir: /opt/indico/bin DocumentationDir: /opt/indico/doc ConfigurationDir: /opt/indico/etc HtdocsDir: /opt/indico/htdocs
3. Configuring Apache
Then you should configure Apache HTTPD, by adding the following lines to your httpd configuration file:
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter PythonImport MaKaC::setEnvironment main_interpreter <Directory "/your/htdocs"> AddHandler python-program .py PythonHandler mod_python.publisher Allow from All </Directory> <Directory "/your/htdocs/services"> SetHandler python-program PythonHandler MaKaC.services.handler PythonInterpreter main_interpreter Allow from All </Directory> Alias /indico/images "/your/htdocs/images" Alias /indico "/your/htdocs"
(/your/htdocs should be the same as HtdocsDir, mentioned above)
Accessing http://localhost/indico/index.py should give you the main Indico page.
4. Indico config file
The next step should be inspecting indico.conf and configuring it to fit your server configuration. indico.conf replaces the old config.xml, so you will have to update it with the paramaters that you already have in your config.xml.
5. Migration
If you are using an existing DB, please read this.
6. Future installations
Once you have succeeded to install Indico for the first time, you can automatize the upgrading process with a single script. This script should basically include the following actions:
$ easy_install indico --no-deps $ indico_initial_setup --existing-config=/opt/indico/etc/indico.conf #replace with your path to your indico.conf # restart apache /path/to/httpd restart

Got limes?
Many of us in mild climes have boatloads of citrus dropping off the tree by now. With Super Bowl coming up, think of a lime marinade for all kinds of red meat, chicken or fish.
Combine in a resealable plastic bag:
1/3 cup of lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 scallions thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes
Toss in your meat and refrigerate for an hour. Grill as always. From MarthaStewart.com
TheSun.co.uk—Behold the $15,000 pineapple
Susan says:
Your comment
As I collect limes from our tree everyday like easter eggs hidden in
the flower beds, even the pool, a kind neighbor whose last name I don't
recognize left us a bag of limes.

Could the national tour of La Cage Aux Folles be any timelier for North Carolina?
The musical came to Belk Theater Tuesday night, at the end of the month in which:
• Voters strongly endorsed a state constitutional amendment to prevent gay marriage;
• A Maiden pastor became nationally infamous for suggesting homosexuals be confined in electrified concentration camps until they died off;
• And the New York Times profiled Robert Spitzer, the retired Columbia University professor of psychiatry and psychology who apologized for a fatally flawed study that said gay people could be cured if they had proper motivation.
When the Jerry Herman-Harvey Fierstein musical opened on Broadway in 1983, it seemed daring: Albins declaration I Am What I Am, a ringing denouncement of anyone who challenged his sexual choice, was an antidote to the harsh judgments most of society made about gay people.
Optimists who cheered those sentiments at the time (myself included) probably thought theyd be dated three decades later. Yet the words rang out Tuesday with the same ferocious reproof, and they seemed just as necessary.
Christopher Sieber began that showstopping Act 1 closer quietly, as if discovering both his pain and the strength needed to get through it. Heretofore he had sung and acted with abandon, like the love child of Jerry Lewis and Ethel Merman. (This is a compliment under the tours circumstances, as well see.) Now he showed Albins core, built to a rousing climax and stormed offstage to a roar of audience approval.
This version, directed by Terry Johnson, doesnt spend much time with matters of the heart. Its broader, bawdier and brawnier than the 80s original. An example: Some of the chorus girls actually were girls in the original; wigs came off at the end of the show to reveal how brilliantly men in drag had fooled us. This tour gives us half as many Cagelles and makes them all flamboyant men in boas and bustiers.
Siebers over-the-top presentation and milking of gags suits the tone of this interpretation. Opposite him, George Hamilton exudes unruffled charm as the club owner who pretends to be straight so his son can marry a conservative politicians daughter. Theres a knowing amiability to his performance; hes both Georges, soothing the volatile Albin, and George, amiably trying to balance his outrageous co-star, and we appreciate him doubly.
The scaled-down size of the production suits the story well: The small orchestra, now playing above the stage in two boxes instead of in the pit, really seems like a night club band. The actors use the whole stage and parts of the auditorium: They toss beach balls into the crowd, come into the audience to address theatergoers and exit up aisles, further reinforcing the illusion that were in a club.
And though the setting is St. Tropez, La Cage remains a quintessentially big American musical. Albin lives out the greatest of all American dreams: To reinvent yourself and rise to prominence without accepting restrictions of class, race, gender or (in his case) sexual stereotypes. That he does so as a drag queen doesnt matter, or shouldnt.
Speaking of drag queens, a glamorous mistress of ceremonies warmed up the crowd beforehand, chiding latecomers. (This drew applause.) She fired off topical jokes and ended by saying, Is there anybody coming out here tonight? Oh, wait: This is North Carolina! Is there anybody going in?
Given the times, that joke seemed pretty funny. Thirty years from now, it wont.

Wallace triumphs as Hall, Castleberry and Giusti also score.
Bob Burbach
Marysville CA - July 22, 2012
--- An intense non-stop 25 lap Winged Sprint Car feature event found point leader Billy Wallace in victory lane at Paul and Kathy Hawes Marysville Raceway Park Saturday. Point leader Brent Hall outdistanced the large MRP Super Stock field as Joel Giusti came out on top in the Pro 4 closer. Point leader Misty Castleberry won another feature in the MRP Mini Stock class beating a big, quality field as most of the stars in the class returned home. The 100+ degree temperatures at race time had virtually no effect on the well groomed, bullet fast surface as MRP continues to present a tight, well organized program. The crowd was a sizable one, given the temperatures, and they were treated to some of the finest wheel to wheel, high speed action of the year. The final checkered flag waved a little before 10PM allowing fans plenty of time to roam the pits and talk to their favorite drivers.
The sprint car show was another amazing display of hooked up-hammer down racing. The intensity of the wheel to wheel racing throughout the field could defy description. It was yet another whirlwind of 100 mph action.
Cort Dozier broke from his pole position start and beat 50 time feature event winner Colby Wiesz to turn 1. Wallace, from his row 2 start had to watch this one for a while before he started to move.
Dozier was on fire. The white 97c motored easily away from the field and had a straightaway lead as the first 5 laps went quickly into the books. While this torrid pace had the leaders stretching out the field, 10th starting Jeremy Burt was on the move. Burt was startlingly fast as he picked his way to the front. Burt has shown a new fire and maturity as a sprint car star in recent weeks. Whether high or low, Burt was the fastest car on the raceway.
Dozier quickly was in heavy lapped traffic by lap 8 and 2nd running Wallace started to close with precision efficiency. Then with a slick move off of 4 Wallace drew even with Dozier and had the line into 1. The defending champ had grabbed the lead. Dozier was still wicked-fast but Wallace had picked through traffic better. Wallace then improved his lead as he started to dissect faster traffic perfectly.
Burt was still coming and forced his way into 4th as the race headed into its final 5 circuits.
As the white flag flew Dozier had more troubles with lapped traffic and Wiesz slipped by into the runner-up spot. Wallace, Wiesz, Dozier, Burt and a surprisingly fast Jimmy Steward flew under the checkers in that order. The event was a non-stop blur of hammer-down racing prowess from all of the participants. As a matter of fact, the entire MRP Winged Sprint Car program was run without a caution flag.
The amazing return of Mike Monahan continues as the Madman won his heat race and soldiered through another non-stop feature and grabbed 6th place at the end.
The other heat race was won by young Michael Tarter aboard the family #35. Tarters convincing win in the event had the crowd screaming as a much needed emotional push and renewal seemed to follow Michael across the finish line. Just a short few weeks ago rising sprint car star David Tarter lost his life at Silver Dollar Speedway in an accident unrelated to on track activities. The shockwaves were felt throughout the racing community. Brother Michael told this observer earlier in the pits that he was going to fill the vacated seat. Not only did Michael hold off 3 time track champion Brent Dothage for the heat race win, but the effort prompted Dothage to pull up along side Michael Tarter and provide the winner with a much deserved thumbs up during the cool down lap after the checkered flag. It is a moment in MRP history that will not soon be forgotten. The crowd let out a ferocious cheer as Tarter headed slowly up the straightaway and into the pits after the event.
Wallace grabbed quick time qualifying honors.
In the MRP Super Stock feature, Brent Hall simply drove away from the other competitors after an early race tussle with visiting driver Fred Ryland. Ryland, who competes regularly at another venue, and Hall were front row starters in the event. For someone who had never raced at MRP before, Ryland was a rocket right out of the box.
Only 2 yellow flags would slow the event and amazingly enough one of them was Ryland. He cranked his swift #7 into turn #1 and saw his chance at victory disappear as his car chugged to a stop. Ryland, however, restarted and charged from the back to a credible 6th place finish at the end.
With Ryland out of the picture it was clear sailing for Hall who notched another win on what, at this point seems an easy run to his 1st title at MRP. Lapped traffic prevented Ray Trimble from challenging Hall in the last ½ of the event and he wound up 2nd just ahead of Willie Horn. James Castleberry, once again had a great night coming across the line in 4th, but Hall extended his point lead with the win.
The Pro 4 Sprint Car feature was another Joel Giusti victory as the young charger pretty much had it his own way after a spirited dice with rookie contender Charlie Holt. Holt took a nice lead into the last ½ of the event. A great battle between Giusti and Holt kept everybody interested with 6 to go. Holt was passed by defending champ Tim Maclaughlin near the end, but Holt made a strong impression in only his 2nd run in a Pro 4 finishing 3rd. Johnny Burns took heat race honors again.
The MRP Mini Stock feature was easily dominated by Castleberry who rushed to the front from her 2nd row start. But the big story was the race going on behind her. 9th starting Shaun Merritt was impressive as he went from row 5 to 2nd place. He grabbed the runner up spot with just a few laps to go. Merritts return to MRP after a long hiatus proved fruitful for the driver of #77m. Another contender was fast moving Howard Law. Clutch problems sidelined the fast 00. Jason Clayton was a competitive 3rd at the end with Kyle Davey in 4th. Rookie of the Year candidate Travis Carter wound up 5th.
It was great to see a strong field of MRP Mini Stocks in race that had few cautions and some really outstanding competitive, fender to fender action. Castleberry and Derik Gallier won the heat races.
MRP will be dark for two weekends of racing action returning on August 11th for the 2nd Merle Shepherd Memorial Race. All 4 MRP primary classes will be showcased as the mighty MRP Winged Sprint Cars will headline the program. The MRP Super Stocks, Mini Stocks and Hobby Stocks will provide the fendered action. MRP promoter Paul Hawes will continue improvements to the facility during this hiatus. Stay tuned.
Lifes short. Live it. Race hard.
Note: Please make this observer aware of any names that are misspelled or incorrect. The text is based on information we have at the time of its release. Complete finishes, stats, assessed penalties and points become official and available at the close of business on Tuesday and will be posted to the web site.

Gempler's nitrile gloves are the only ones for best value under heavy use. They are tough and stand up to significant abuse before tearing or leaking (the 8-mil gloves solve that problem nicely, and I have those, too). Dexterity is excellent, I can pick up a dime with them. I use them under my automotive gloves for messy lube and brake work, to protect from chemicals or mud and dirt when spraying, painting, planting or cleaning. The 4-mil are my first choice for most jobs (8-mil my second choice) to protect my hands. Powdered gloves resist tearing and go on easily, even under hot, sweaty conditions. You won't regret having a supply for continual use.

These (or any) 4mil. gloves are OK for light use such as staining wood or just when you want to keep dirt off your hands, but there are much better (heavier) gloves out there. These also have a tendency to "melt" when used with certain chemicals or solvents. I've switched to a 9mil. glove that I use for greasy jobs heavier jobs and they are much longer lasting. Just use common sense as to when you use them.

These gloves are awesome! I purchase them for our maintenance man and crew members that have large hands and they actually fit unlike so many gloves that we have purchased. They keep my folks protected from harmful agents that they deal with on a daily basis. They are tough and extremely durable and a great bargain for the sale price! :-)

Ever wanted to ride your bicycle naked in central London? Me Too!
That's why I take part in London's The World Naked Bike Ride each year. Whether on my bikerton or tandem getting your kit off for a good cause in London sure beats lazing outside a boozer and sucking the Pimms out of strawberries on a sunny day.
The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, but some on skateboards and inline skates), to "deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world." The dress code motto is "Bare as you dare" but full and partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory, on all rides. Any mandate to cover intimate parts is forbidden; this is a distinguishing feature of WNBR against other cycling events.
Creative expression is also encouraged to generate a fun and immersive atmosphere during the ride, capture the attention and imagination of the public and media, and make the experience more personalized and fulfilling for the riders. Body art, such as body painting, are common forms of creative expression, as well as costumes, art bikes, portable sound reinforcement systems (such as public address systems, bullhorns and boomboxes) and musical instruments or other types of noisemaker.

As we all join or start communities or take part in developing the tools to do so, I am wondering what will the next step be for social media. In any movement, there are stages where the building takes place, the usage hits full steam and then it levels off or dies.
Right now social media is certainly in the building stages as a whole. Sure there are some areas that are moving toward, or are in, "full steam" stage. Most are building.
I have been thinking about this topic a great deal lately. Seth Godin posted some thoughts today that solidified the idea for me. Predicting the future is not very worthwhile if you expect accuracy. It may be fun though.
Here are a few simple predictions of where we are headed:
- Facebook will morph/merge more with other tools to be more of a blog roll for community tools. It, along with any other portal style tools, will rationalize the number of places people will feel inclined to populate and participate in. I could be wrong, but I sense there are so many places and tools.
- Twitter type tools will advance to better filter out the preferences and interests of followers. I may be interested in an individual in one aspect of their lives (social media related), but honestly I really don't care much about the chicken they are BBQing for the the family. Sorry no offense intended.
- Everyday "things" such as GPS systems, emergency management teams, Parent to Teacher communication, shopping deals, etc will converge more and more to make even the term social media sound so generic that it looses usage.
I am sure there are long lists of predictions being made on this topic and many others. I suppose I have as good a shot at being right as anyone. Social media is developing along the lines of what was partly forecasted for the original commercial web (aka Web 1.0 or "the web", "Internet" or my favorite "the online"). Dream a little dream, lets just be a bit more practical than we were were on the last round of this revolution.

so tonights the big performance of peter pan. Finally its the last one and than maybe I can have john to myself again ... okie, that sounded selfish, but wutever. Its true though. I feel everyone gives him so much attention now just because hes the star of this play.. and ive always loved him before this thing was even written down on paper [no offense to colleen because i think she did a wonderful job on it...] i just really miss being alone with him now. I wonder how he possibly could have thought I would have no problem moving on without him in my life. . .what i mean by 'in my life', is to be someone that I could rely on = someone more than a friend for a change = someone that would be there to hold and to say he loves me to keep me going in this pathetic life of mine. I dont have that privilege anymore and I doubt ill ever see it again. Im tired of living so alone . . . at the age of 15, i should have had atleast 10 boyfriends by now ... i only had one and even that was a disaster... but damn, ive matured and am so ready to handle a relationship about now. Im tired of my 'friends' making me feel more like shit than what i already see myself as, and putting me down all the god-damned time. They should be there by my side and instead their always telling me false advice and this is how I get confused because everyone tells me different things and i dont even know who to trust or believe anymore. Im just not going to tell anyone anything anymore. Let them guess ... I dont have to explain myself to everyone. The way John doesnt explain himself to people about the way he feels for me... I wanna be like that too. No one ever helps me anyway so it wouldnt be a complete loss if I stopped sharing my life stories with them. . .all they do is argue with me and im tired of being trampled around like a toy. I have feelings too and people forget that. I should just leave this hell... people would be so much better without having to deal with my stupid cries. I was torn apart yesterday at school .. ontop of all this im sick and im just tired of complaining to people so now ill just complain to myself.. because i dont need anybody anymore. All i really do need is one close friend, a boy to keep me calm and a life that i can live where im happy about myself... that day will never come. And I dont care who reads this anymore and feels insulted because you have to understand from the moment you click that link, your entering my journal.. hence my feelings about life .. my feelings about people and phonys.. my words about everything... and no matter how wrong you may think my thoughts are, just stop entering my damn journal and save yourself the minute ! -- you shouldnt even worry about me anyway... you prolly have a great life and you need to repect that and hang onto as much happiness as you get... cus once its gone, thats it and theres no turning anything back... so why even waste your time with me since im already a lost cause to this world...There aint no one whos gunna change the way i feel about everything because ive been thinking this way for too long and i feel this truly is the person who I am. I have a right to defend my useless thoughts.im out to go watch some FUSE in my room cus i finally got cable hooked up in there. . goodbye.im so worthlessa
..I woke up happy --> only because I had a wonderful dream of john. It was at school .. but the campus was all different, it looked like a regular public school. But I was walking down the hill where my dad was picking me up that day.. [also be warned that my blue van was in the dream .. and the stickers were pasted on one side of the windows which was pretty weird cuz thats how my van is in real life -- my sister put the stickers on there..] so than he starts beeping and i run down the hill and all of a sudden john is running up it on his way to reach me and he sais goodbye and i go "can i have a hug?" and right in front of my friends he hugged me.. ( right there n' than i should have knew that it was only a dream cuz never in a million years would john hug me at school in front of all of my friends.. ) so than he knelt down a bit and whispers in my ear i have to tell you something.. - every morning i wake up and all i think of is you and you make me feel happy inside.. - i smiled a bit and was about to tell him something until the rough sound of my dads horn went off once again so i told him i had to go but thanks for the comment - and i ran off to the van. The next day came and it was after school time again. Me and lizz were walking up the steep hill and saw emily at the top waiting for her bus a long with the rest of the people. John was following behind us [i had a sense he was.. but i didnt bother to look back]. So we*re all chyllin at the top and john comes over and stands in between me and lizz. All of a sudden [idk how it got triggered off] but they started calling me a stupid tramp and stuff [kidding around like they do @ school in real life..] -- but than john started and i got upset, so i ran down the hill pretending to be mad [LIKE I DO IN REAL LIFE..] and sat down in a darkened corner of steps. Out of no where, my spanish teacher [mrs. schiavo] walked over to talk to me about an assignment, and behind her at the corner of my eye - i see john standing there as if he felt bad about the whole 'tramp - kidding - around' joke. When mrs. schiavo left, he hopped upon a tall ledge near the step [which was kinda near me, but diagonal-behind me to be exact..] and i looked at him but couldnt help to smile. He looked at me and goes with a sense of humor hey hey baby and i blushed a bit and laughed knowing he was juss kidding around.. as usual..I than reached out to touched his hand.. but he firmly let go of my grip as if he didnt wanna hold onto my hand - but instead, put his hand over mine so it was on top, and with his other hand, he rubbed my arm lightly like two times. We just sat there talking about.. god only knows what cuz my dream was starting to fade off... and than after that, we ran down the hill cuz my dad was there [but for some reason he was driving a big bus.. okay thats one part i dont get.. but anyways..] john walked me down the hill, and i had to climb over a fence to get to my dad so i was like oh great.. i HAVE to climb this fence.. and john laughed and goes alright! goobye! and waved to me with laughter. I eventually climbed it, and turned, and saw him run off cuz his bus was there. I entered my dads.. um.. bus... [and my brother was sitting in the back of it]... i sat down in the front with my dad and that was basically it.. my dream faded off and i woke up. Okay, so some parts didnt make sense but the thought that got to me most was when john hugged me and told me some things on how he felt about me... and i guess thats normal to appear in my dream because lately i have been wondering alot about wuts going on in his head about me. I also liked how we held hands... it kinda reminds me of the time when we held hands in reality on dana*s couch like a month ago... and yea.. that most likely appeared in my dream because i miss that alot too..the weird part was john*s hair was combed forward in my dream... but his clothes style matched on what he wears to school and his eyes and face structure and body looked exactly the same.. even his funny, yet weird personality was all pin-point in my dream. -- Wow, my dreams scare me sometimes. I must atleast have a dream about him 3 or 4 times out of the whole week .. and its sad because you would think all these clues would lead up for us to be something - but i guess your mind can play stupid tricks on you.. i wonder if this all means something. Maybe the fact of me running from him and being oblivious, means he could like me and im just avoiding it because i dont wanna believe it.. or perhaps hes just playing tricks on me to leave me with a broken heart... but john doesnt even seem like that type. I heard the only g/f he had was in middle school and she turned into a slut and cheated on him.. ugh.. i would be so much better than that to him, i dont understand why he wont juss give me a chance. Steven hasnt IMed me and my friend Gina tried talking to him and he made it seem like he didnt wanna talk to me. I dunno, this whole thing is just going to lead to another depressed stage of me. I miss john so much - he*s at school and im sitting here with a runny nose reviewing on what my whole dream was about .. when it was about him and the kid could prolly care less about me .. wutever im through here.. i just wish there was someway john could realize how much i needed him... it*ll never get better - as long as i have the abillity to see him everyday at school, it can only get worse.... .. hence i woke up happy -- but now just thinking about how it wasnt true, brings me down.. ... ive come to the conclusion that hes the only one for me... so sad...
Well isnt this juss great ? -- my mom questioned me on why im always wearing my black n' red armband day n' night now ... i had to lie and tell her it was a new "fasion statement" .. hmm i wonder why i wear it... wut could i possibly be hiding.. me the innocent hyper "always happy" little school gurl... blah.. YEA RIGHT !I might be getting back involved wit my ex, steven .... I may talk to him tonite since my cousin might give him my SN but im not really shure yet ... would be nice ... i miss him .. tons --> and i dont see anything happening wit me and john too soon .. i mean come on, the kid comes it with orange shorts and orange fleece jacket with socks that were stretched up all the way to his knees ... plus he has to stay after every day this week until 7 for the Peter Pan play and i have to go see it saturday with dana. I would go both nights [friday and saturday] but ya kno wut, he*d be even lucky if i made it for one of those nights cuz he really doesnt deserve my appearance showing up there in the cr0wd ... the kid looked @ me today and kept staring at me and didnt even bother once to say hi ... and i didnt wanna make the first move because --1.] im sick and catching a c0ld..2.] i think he hates .. erm .. dislikes me..3.] its only rite if he makes the first move b/c i*ve done it so many times before and im getting tired of it . . .but of course --> as soon as he walks through the door dis morning, he runs to Alex ... after all, HE WAS NOT WITH HIM THE WHOLE DAMN MEMORIAL WEEKEND !!! *gassp*gassp* ... okie, okie imma be alright ... i guess[?] -- i stayed after today n' me and Gina kept on complaining how Johns suck ass -- BECAUSE THEY DO ! -- ugh, piss me off so much ... but oh well, maybe steven has matured sumwut and will give me another chance.. i told emily dis morning, n' of course she thought i was crazy and smacked me over the head .. but no one understands on how much steven truly ment to me ... and john -- ugh, i wont give up on him but i juss wish he would understand where im coming from .... i still would <3 to take him to the town*s festa next weekend . . . if he comes, i guess that*ll be fun. *sigh* well im out --> my throat and head hurts and my heart hurts as usual. so in conclusion my day was shyt as usual -- but idk .. the thought of steven made me feel somewhat happy... weird, huh? ...
Yay well i juss got home from playland(an amusement park) with john[not my john], gina, and her friend Lisa. We went on the go-karts, house of mirrors n' haunted house where we screamed our arses off for no particular reason but to juss cause a scene. Tomorrow must sleep day away and Tuesday i*ll be going to school wit new makeup such as the icy blue lip shimmer, mascara and fresh new boTTle of cover-up. yessum. okie im mad bored n' tired *yawn* n' idk wut to do wit myself. Must kill. yes yes stab stab die die. annnnnnnnnnyways. im out. peace and pieces of peaches. x0x
well here i am almost 1 in the morning listening to ICP and downloading old slipknot songs from what i used to listen to back than .. i feel in the mood to just go grab an axe, roam around in the darkness and go chop up the first person i see into little bits. People suck so much and they really piss me off. Oh look whos online - steven .. *sigh*... no comment..johns in vermont with alex.. wow, i hope hes having a dandy time .. i mean after all.. THE WEATHER IS SO BEAUTIFUL !! *major sarcasm* duh.. well im tired and weak and too fucked up to feel anything so i guess im gunna go to sleep soon before i get any dark ideas... woop... too late... ugh feeling so weak and dull .. and not that anyone cares anyway but i wrote a suicide note in my poetry book and the whole thing rhymed and it mentions all my close "friends" and my final goodbye thoughts to all of them.. or well.. to the people i 'pay' to be my friends anyway.. but ya know what its ok.. im gunna be alright, right...? *crickets chirp*... uh, rite...?.. *sigh*.. im a failure .. im tired of living life like this every single day....and yet... how did i ever fall to be this way ........
Made myself a new layout for my journal cus i got bored. Didnt go to school today cus i really didnt feel like waking up to the same old shit as usual. Lemme guess what I prolly missed today . . . hmm . . . john acting oblivious ... laughing with his friends as if he has nothing to worry about ... hmm what else .. oh yes ! my friends asking me 'wuts wrong' every 5 mins. - I guess I was better off to staying home n' sleeping. I was real tired & weak anyway .. well i still feel weak, but that will never change. Watched American Idol last night. I think the voting was rigged b/c Ruben won and i had a $5 bet with Charleen and she won so now I owe her money ... ugh -- but my luck always fails. Today is my brothers birthday so we`re going to have sum chocolate cake tonite. Than tomorrow night we're going out to applebees .. oh goody .. i wish john would be there but of course hes going to vermont so ya know .. nothing ever goes right for me. I havent heard a call from the boss of that job I wanted -- hopefully over the summer. My mom has been trying to find a psychologist for me and I am having another urge to cut because I feel sick to my stomach. Whenever I look at my full-body mirror in my room, i always have thoughts in my head.. omg, im getting fat.. -- i seriously think i am but everyone yells at me saying im so skinny. I never think im perfect. . .would explain why im so fucking lonely and unloved. I dont wanna go back to school but than again i hate staying home and putting up with my father and everyones shit. I cover my scars with my arm band but i wont have to soon enough since they should be healing in another week or so. god i hate my life and im so dumb to ever think that me and john would become something. who would want me anyway .. i cant even put up with my fuckin self. i think in the past year or so i have gotten worse. I never really loved myself -- but i never cut or did any of the stuff i do now. I can only say my clothes style has improved, but idk .. now i feel like dressing gothic again because im slowly falling back into the darkness that i always used to be stuck in. i can feel it happening again and theres no one nor nothing that can stop me this time.
such a surprising tradgedy ... john cant come to the movies this weekend. Of course he made plans wit alex to go to vermont.. well isnt that sweet... he got me cutting myself again .. not that anyone cares anyway but my arm is so numb and i did a number of damage on me this time... i cut underneath my arm near my wrist with my spiked bracelet and it stings alot and is making my arm tremble and feel numb... ah just like my life.. useless. My spiked bracelet and swiss army knife has become two of my best friends... out of everyone, they always help me to not think of my problems...Now I have to wear my armband over it to cover the scars so my parents dont see them when i leave my room .. and tomorrow during school. They seem to heal so fast... but i guess thats the good thing about it. Its so deep at first like the problem, and than eventually starts to fade off. *sigh* -- i really hate my life ... and i hate john for doing this to me .. everyone blames me .. but why blame me when their the ones causing the problem...?..... and JOHN M if your reading this --> im really sorry but i cant stop now since i just started and has become an addiction for me... i hope u understand...
Ugh i hate coming to school. Its so pointless when everyday feels the same. Go in, be ign0red by john, put on a phony face and act like life is juss great when really its not, be harrassed by people and supposed "friends" .. damn i didnt know my life was supposed to be this way.Maybe the only good thing i have to look forward to is this saturday to go see a movie with my friends ariel, azita[maybe], lizz, n' john[yessum "my" john..] --> ariel asked him and he said "yea shure!" .. he seemed pretty happy. We*re prolly gunna go see dat soccer movie again since john wants to go see it, and i really <3 the hoTTie actor in it. He*s so seksii n' wOrth an extra $1o .. haha. -- I still cant believe about wut alex said dis morning wit having that party @ his house n' how im not invited cuz people are getting "hooked uP", and john*s going and hes gunna get paired up with someone. It makes me mad to know he could be kissing sum other gurl that he juss randomly met.. i mean wtf. And alex knows i fucking like him, john even knows i fucking like him .. so wuts the sense.. pfft -- rub it in my face much?Ugh my piece of shyt laptop is starting up again .. damn the school should let us trade these in for better laptops cuz these are juss crappy and taking up room in my bookbag to make it more heavier on my back. My moms supposed to call the psychologist tonite .. oh joy, wut fun. People are driving me insane, i dont think i know how much more i can take ... I cried this morning in web design while writing a poem in my book ... listening to sad musiq and getting out deep thoughts is the worst thing to do at the same time.. but aside from one other thing i do, i guess its the only way to rid this pain until john realizes how much he truly means to me ... no lie; i couldnt even sleep last nite .. tossing n' turning all nite long - thinking about him. I literally got 2 - 3 hours of sleep .. such a shame, he prolly slept like a baby....
ahh okie so john*s coming over tonight to mii cousins house. yay. Its alyssas confirmation partay. There`s gunna be atleast like 40 people 'dere, and i get to entertain john --> haha. ;x Anyways its already 1 so i have to get ready soon even thO the partay is @ 5:30 - 6 --> but i have to dress "pretty". Blah. Than school tomorrow. But let me juss enjoy tonight for its the first time I ever got to chyll wit him on a sunday nite. <33He asked for me yesterday when he was talking to Dana. He wanted to know if I would be there, and of course I would be. Duh. family partay. Blah --> hes so co0t. I know I shouldnt be thinking about him, but I cant help it. Hes juss so irrisistable to me. He`s like mah best [boy] friend. I cant wait until tonight and I thank dana so much for inviting him.My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill --> so wont you kill me --> so i die happy..applebees n' the movies was fun last night. I went wit mah friends Charleen, azita, ariel, lizz, n' hanna. We snuck in kandii to the movie theatre n' the movie was pretty good. We saw sum soccer movie called bend it like beckham. The guy in it was so hott n' looked like an older version of john. haha. neways im out. ttyl. peace and pieces of peaches. x0x
What up buttercup? ;x -- tireing & boring day at school. Atleast I got a simple - but strange - communication sign wit john dis morning. His "stick" --> haha. :x . . . . I got poptarts today n' pretended to be eating them and skarred sum people cuz i never touch poptarts. I really didnt eat them --> ack, i hate them and they should be banned off of the market >O I didnt get to show John *tear*tear*, for he had went on the bus before I could even reach to where he was. Oh well, i guess there is always tomorrow. I hope he chylls dis weekend, that would be fun. And I hope dana isn*t mad because I dont feel like talking on the fone rite now . . .i`m juss awfully tired and its nothing against her .. if your reading this, IM SOWWIE DANA !!!I might be going out to applebees wit my friends from school .. [charleen, azita, ariel, hanna, lizz, etc] .. yay i can pinpoint the hott waiters. Plus I <3 applebees and i ain*t doing nething else that night. Than we might go see a movie. I`m guessing its for Charleens b-day, but i didnt get her a gift .. juss a balloon. ;x Im still hoping I get that job.. *fingers crossed* Well im out to take a sh0wer soon. See ya later. Peace and pieces of peaches. x0x
Here in web design right now. This suckles. ;/Working on mii webbie thats all about me -- YAY !!!Ever since I came in dis morning, i felt hated by so many. I dunno why. My friend Alex is having such a good life - he`s got a gurlfriend who he <3's so much. Hrmph, I`m jealous. Blah, no one ever reads here so why am I even updating . . .? Maybe cus im stupid and have no life . . ? hmmm . . ? If you love me, you will kill me. =]John got a haircut .. i dunno, that kind of "turns me off" - but why should I even feel turned on anymore by him when he treats me like complete shyt? He suckles.. haha. ;x --> er, why is he always on my mind? There`s no hope in holding on anymore. He doesnt like me, n' i have a feeling he never will. I`m shure he hates me so much rite now. Its not fair. Life`s not fair. Love`s not fair. . . NOTHINGS EVER FAIR !! ugh .. he doesn`t even lo0k at me either. And if he does, why does he aknowledge me? He should have been with me dis weekend, but i guess that was too much to ask for. He`s annoys me. *Sigh* whatever -- on to better things. The bottom of my new white pants got diirty so now they have to be washed already, I have a pounding headache, My friends are ignoring me and on top of all that, im sitting near Azita ! -- BLAH OUT OF ALL PEOPLE.... haha, j/k j/k.. azita i wub you! <33 hehe. Hopefully i`ll get those new black n' piink shoes in the Alloy catalogue. My white cherrii ones are diirty. Damn white suckles. Ugh, I dont wanna be here.

I could care less anymore because im rebelling and people and love sucks. =/ Peaces and pieces of peaches ... blah. ;P
damn razorblade. its not sharp enough to cut . . . but i left a few faint slashes. This pain feels so familiar ... had i not done it before when i struggled through depression. I hate when people complain saying they have it worse off than me, and that i should be happy .. how u gunna expect me to be happy when everything to him is "ok whatever" .... dont think you know how shitty that makes me feel. i have every fucking right to break down .. because im nothing but a worthless piece of shit. my true happiness will always be seen through darkness and tears. and as much as i try to believe things are getting better ... they always turn out for the worse. i have to let go and i dont want to. so excuse me for loving someone so much that its impossible to push away... even though hes doing a good job at pushing me away.... how the fuck u gunna treat me like shit after i told you my feelings.... dont think you realize how much that hurts .... dont think i can take anymore. call me selfish but i just wanna die. save myself from future heartbreaks. its worthless now. no one would miss me anyway. i was just a backup for someone more beautiful than me on the inside and out. i should go back to being gothic and unnattractive. Wuts the sense of trying to be something im not ? .. i try to dress attractive... TRY ... but no guys look at me like that anyway. Im just used for useless hugs... and kisses on the cheek that still leaves a scar from your touch .... how am i to go through the school day with all this shit in my head? how am i to pretend its okay when its not? ... its really not. rip off the fake smile off of my face and just leave a frown ... this is all im worth... and i guess i just wasnt good enough for him.. nor anyone. shame on me for believing the fact we would be together. shame on you for tearing my world apart. im so stupid, i deserve this pain . . because we'll never be who i wanted us to be . . i guess thats all there is left to say.
Well im home from school. blah what a b0ring day. here`s a list of thinqs i want right now at the moment.. for real :1.] john <332.] finch cd3.] burnsy in a box4.] liquor5.] a job6.] a punk/skater boy7.] friends[?] // haha.8.] razorblade9.] a life10.] a hug [preferably from john..]--> got a 60 on mii bio test. yay go me, i suck. =P o0o slipknot on computer radio. i dunno whats been going on with me lately, but i`ve been kind of getting back into heavy metal and punk rock.

text: 3 Delta ForceMoviefanDK | 25/03/2013 | See all MoviefanDK's reviews (59)They Just Cant Get Enough! This is Depeche Modes 13th album and it offers 13 new songs. (The deluxe version features an xtra disc with 4 b-sides). Daves vocal is strong at the front again, and with the mix of minimalistic techno pop and good rock tunes thrown into the mix, Delta Machine sounds both fresh and new while still sounding like good old depeche. If forced to say something negative Id say there is a lack of big and catchy tunes. But for an old Depeche Mode fan Im very grateful that they still bother to make records that are worth the listen. Clearly they are not in it for the money and thankfully they dont try to pretend to still be 25. But despite the years Depeche Mode is still going on strong.

The author of the acclaimed biography Byron: Child of Passion, Fool of Fame brings to life a closely focused portrait of another great romantic artist, Frédéric Chopin.
At twenty-one, Chopin fled Russian-occupied Poland for exile in France. He would never see his native country again. With only two public concerts in as many years, he became a star of Parisian society and a legendary performer at its salons, revered by his great contemporaries Schumann, Liszt, and the painter Eugène Delacroix. Blessed with genius, success, and the love of Europe's most famous—and infamous—woman novelist, George Sand, Chopin's years of triumph ended with his expulsion from paradise: less than two decades after his conquest of Paris, the composer lay destitute and dying in the arms of Sand's estranged daughter, Solange. Chopin's Funeral is the story of this fatal fall from grace, of an Oedipal tragedy unfolding, and of illness and loss redeemed by the radical breakthrough of the composer's last style.
Richly textured and artfully compressed, Chopin's Funeral is an intimate close-up of an embattled man, grappling with conflict on all sides: family violence, political passions, and, not least, his own dependency and pride. With consummate skill Benita Eisler tells the story of the artist as exile, of an explosive love affair, and of worlds—private and public—convulsed by momentous change.
