New Gerard song (and hair photos)Gerard released a song called "Action Cat" on his Youtube channel, which you can listen to here. You can download it for free if you sign up for his mailing list here.
What do you think? I'm in love with it. It has sort of an indie vibe, and it just screams "Gerard": a punchy alternative rock sound, but with added mellowness. Ugh, hearing the guys' solo music is so exciting. Someone should mash this up with "I Lied."
We also have new pictures of Gerard's hair (apparently it's pale yellow, not orange like I originally thought):

A Killjoy Christmas Poem
'Twas the night before Christmas, and in the first Zone,
A little red Killjoy was headed for home.
His sled was a Trans Am with sand-crusted tires,
And a sleek gleaming hood with a spindly spider.
The windows were down, and the radio blared,
And a chill winter wind whipped the frost through his hair.
The Trans slightly swerved on the ice-covered road,
Leaving slushy brown tracks in the powdery snow.
In the trunk of the car sat a small leather bag,
Covered in stitches, old patches, and tags.
Heavy lumps shifted beneath the worn leather,
Clanking and chilling in the icy cold weather.
Inside the dark kitchen, with a rusty steel grill,
Kobra curled up on a mattress to ward off the chill.
With a glowing orange heater that hummed on the floor,
And a heavy blue blanket that warmed him to the core.
Ghoul was sprawled out in the cramped storage room,
Squeezed in with the buckets, the towels, and brooms.
His mouth hung wide open, and he let out a snore,
That c
Mikey finally tells his side of the story...aaaand, there was no cheating involved. You can read his tweet here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rrjs19
Now that the air has cleared a bit, I feel like there's a lot of subjects that I need to clarify. As I've said before, my relationship with Sarah had absolutely nothing to do with the band breaking up. The band had dissolved prior to me and her ever being together, but it wasn't announced until much later. Secondly, the infamous Tumblr post that circulated the Internet was full of fudged facts in an attempt to embarrass Sarah and I. It was full of slanderous and untrue statements in an attempt to make a "good news story". In fact, much of it was directed at a person other than Sarah. It was blatantly made by a friend of my ex who did everything in their power to make us look like we were "horrible people". The fact that the post was magically deleted proves that the person knew I would find out their identity, and they would have faced serious consequences. Sarah and I di
Discussion: My Chemical BromanceI do a double take when I hear about some band having a nasty fight, like when Scott Weiland was fired from Stone Temple Pilots, or when Oasis kicked Noel Gallagher out and formed a whole new band called Beady Eye. So many bands seem to merely tolerate each other, and publicly criticize each other or get into fights at the drop of a hat. I think I've been spoiled with MCR, because they get along so well that it seems weird when I hear about a band that doesn't.
The Way brothers' relationship in particular is pretty special. We've all heard the story of the popular, successful older brother and his quiet, unassuming younger sibling who spent his life living in his shadow. The Way brothers are like that: Gerard's seen as the beloved lead vocalist with lots of artistic talent, inspirational quotes and speeches, a heartbreaking story of addiction and recovery, and a vibrant personality. Mikey's seen as the quiet guy in the background with moderate skills
Frank and Pete comment on the break-upFrank blogged about the break-up on his site: http://www.frank-iero.com/ And Pete Wentz talked about it an interview: http://destroyanews.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/pete-wentz-talks-about-the-breakdown-of-my-chemical-romance/
Neither of them say much that we didn't already know, but it's still interesting.
Gerard actually posted an address for fans to send him mail: http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/gerard_way_my_chemical_romance_posts_fan_mail_address_reflects_on_mcr_album Wonder how many fans are going to disregard the "don't make it weird" rule...
Also, Gerard, Frank, and Ray are apparently working with James Dewees on his new album: http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2013/03/three_members_of_mcr_linked_to.html
And Christopher Gutierrez (one of Mikey's friends) made a good Tumblr post that I think fans will appreciate: http://deadxstop.tumblr.com/post/46089580615/thank-you-friends
Finally, you've probably noticed this already, but Mikey's been tweeting again. Good for him.
Re: StacksSome of you might remember when I took MCR lyrics and added photos to them (here and here.) Since then I've had a bunch of journals sitting in my drafts, where I took a song and paired it with great photography from around dA. Since winter is approaching, I thought I'd start with this one: winter photography paired with Re: Stacks by Bon Iver. Make sure you listen to the song while viewing to get the full effect. Enjoy
MCR officially breaks up + Long essay from meMost of you know this already, but they posted this short blog on their website: http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/mcr/my-chemical-romance
Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.
My Chemical Romance
Right now I can't believe it's real. It feels like a dream. What upsets me most isn't the loss of new music: I still like MCR, but they haven't been my favorite band for a long time. I'm not sure what happened, I guess I just "grew out" of the music and started listening to other things.
But I was still very invested in the guys and their lives, as well as the fandom here, and-- as silly as this sounds-- i
Interview with princebelial (Tumblr artist)princebelial has done only one piece of MCR fan art so far...but it was so good that I had to request an interview. And I'm glad that I did, because this is one of the best interviews I've ever received. She provides a detailed discussion about the symbolism in her Party Poison painting, as well as lengthy, well-thought-out responses to the questions about her work in general. If you want to see how much depth and meaning can be packed into a single drawing, read on.
(Original post)
1. Your Party Poison painting is not only well-drawn, it has intriguing details. Is there a meaning behind the flower crown, the position of his hand, the almost saintlike pose, the peaceful expression, etc.? What does each detail symbolize, if
News on Gerard and Ray + and MikeyEdit: There's some news on Mikey after all: according to this article, he's performing backing vocals on one of Gerard's songs. Wow, a duet (kind of) with the Way brothers. Am I dreaming?
Gerard won two Kerrang awards: Hero and (I've heard) Best Twitter. He also did an interview with BBC radio. You can listen to a clip here about the break-up and his upcoming music, and download the whole interview at the link provided. He also posted some selfies, including this gem:
Tweet: 1
There's also a new interview with Ray at
Gerard addresses negative fan reactions + EditEdit: Gerard posted a letter about it an hour ago: https://twitter.com/gerardway/status/451766014389547008 I'm not entirely sure I understand it, but I think he means he's going to reduce fan interaction, stop following them for now, and keep talk about MCR to a minimum? I'm glad that he acknowledged the positive fans and showed that he appreciates them, but this whole situation makes me sad. Damn. He shouldn't have to do any of this. :/
I thought this was worth a blog post, because it's attracted a lot of attention and opinions. Personally, I'm happy about it, but I'm interested in hearing what the fandom here thinks. This morning, Gerard informed us on Twitter that he was going to remove mychemicalromance.com from his Twitter bio, and that the MCROfficial Twitter would be taken down. He asked everyone to be respectful, but according to this blog post, that's not what happened. >_> So that prompted the following string of tweets
Your thoughts on Gerard's new lyrics?Gerard tweeted some intriguing new song lyrics:
"So I'll just put them here-
This is a song about a group of jewel thieves.
Everything is fine,
then everything goes horribly wrong.
You twist my arm
I'm twisting fate
You'll leave alone, or crazy great
Or break into a million pieces, all your reasons
Lets live alone
And out of state
Lets make up everything and wake up breathing
Don't give a damn about the wreck you leave in
You can use my friends, but that depends-
On what their for
And while we're laying on the floor
My mouth is sore
I'm keeping score
A million reasons but I need a million more
You believe in love
I believe in faith
They'll believe in anything, you make up villains
A trillion legions of the damned and William,
It was really me
It was really you
There was really nothing I could do
Until then,
Lets use our magic powers with the children
You don
My Watercolor RomanceA while ago I did a feature on traditional paintings. While going through the group's Featured folder, I found a lot of amazing MCR paintings that I had to share. This might take a while to load, but I had to use large thumbnails because that's the only way you can really appreciate the beautiful details and textures. Enjoy.

Stalking vs. Normal Fan BehaviorMy Chemical Romance, as far back as I can remember, has never had a normal fan base. The fans have always had a certain passion and drive for the band that many other bands cannot replicate and arouse in their own fans. This devotion has led to good developments within the fan base with such projects like #Sing it for Japan, a music video driven by mostly fan made creations. Yet amidst all of this are some controversial acts of devotion that have sparked a split within much of the fan base in what is right or wrong.
The controversial behavior in question started to appear more frequently during the band's Black Parade Tour in 2007. Video footage of fans stalking them to their hotel is all over YouTube: fans screaming for them to sign things well into the night. It should come to no surprise though. My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade had sold 1,169,697 copies in the U.S alone by August 25, 2007. It was certified as 2X Platinum in the UK. By 2010, in t
Tips on Recognizing Smudged/Traced ArtTips on Spotting Fake Drawings | Samples of Fake Art | Commonly Stolen Artwork
Rather than take the time to learn how to draw, some people take a photo, smudge it in Photoshop or add a filter, and call it a drawing. It's a ploy for attention, and sadly, it usually works. Photos smudged in a couple of minutes often get more attention than original fanart that artists spent hours on. I've seen people feature them in their journals. I've even had people request that I interview a smudger for the group. We can't keep people from smudging photos, but we can stop giving them attention. Here are some tips to help you identify a fake drawing.
If you're unclear on the difference between referencing and tracing, here's a good post from artist-confessions on Tumblr: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9yti2wELq1r7ogo4o1_1280.jpg

Summer Reading
Got some free time this summer? Here's some great reading recommended by group members.
Recommended by KatyChemical:
The Catcher In The Rye by J. D. Salinger
People either love it or hate it but it's definitely my favorite book. I really relate to Holden in so many ways. He has a sort of depressing outlook on life, but I find it really insightful and really relatable. I think a lot of fans of My Chem would appreciate it and as a fun fact Frank Iero has mentioned relating to the character and his old band Pency Prep was named after it.
Black Hole by Charles Burns
One of my favorite graphic novels ever. The artwork is incredible, and the story is interesting. It takes place in the 70's and there's this weird STD going around that makes teens get monster-like mutations (scales...tales...horns on their head. It has a different effect on everyone). But note that it does have sexual themes
31 MCR-Related Journal Entries
Summer is coming up, and now that you'll (hopefully) have some time to yourself, it's a great time to polish your writing skills. A good way to start is keeping a journal. Here are 31 MCR-related journal entries, one for each day of the month. Instead of the usual "fave song, fave member" prompts, I tried to make them a little interesting. If you actually do this, feel free to post them on DeviantART, Tumblr, etc. (If you want to print this, you can copy and paste it into a Word document and print it from there.)
1. Wow, some interviewers ask awful questions. It's your turn to ask what you really want to know. Imagine that you're interviewing one (or more) of the guys. What do you ask him? How do you think he'd respond?
2. Well, you've done it-- you've discovered the answer to one of the biggest mysteries about the band. What mystery did you solve, and what's the long-awaited answer?
3. An insider gives you one of t
Traditional PaintingsI feel like sometimes we focus too much on the cutesy, polished stuff on DA's front page and don't see the less popular but far more powerful artwork. Traditional art offers so much depth and subtlety. Here are some of my favorite paintings. Enjoy the rich colors and textures.

GERAAARD!!*runs around**trips and falls*(again)AHHHHHH OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD
Oh my, Gerard...!
So. The wonderful, beautiful, amazing, perfect Mr Way has basically announced his solo album.
Okay. Right. Thought's in order here. Hold on. Give me a second.
I haven't stopped grinning since last night
Right, so, Gerard was at an event called Graphic yesterday, in Australia, and he talked about a lot of things.
One of these things being that he has completed his album, and he's really happy with it.
He also played a recording of the song, Millions (which he had posted the lyrics for on twitter previously)
Here's a (very quiet, but if you listen closely, you can hear it) recording of the song - http://www.mediafire.com/listen/0rvb06gn143c24b/Millions-+Gerard+Way.m4a

Interview + Great Twitter post about GerardA longer version of an old interview with Gerard, Becky, and Shaun: http://mychemicalcollective.tumblr.com/post/54504602363/artisan-news-has-posted-part-of-a-longer-version
I reblogged this on the group Tumblr, but if you didn't see it, here it is: http://gwaypositivity.tumblr.com/post/54278416561/i-dont-care-if-this-post-is-a-bit-long-i-feel Personally, I think everyone in fandom should read this. It's an excellent long Twitter post about how Gerard reacts to fans on Twitter, and the way they treat him and his family.
Wow, am I glad that he blocks the vile little Mikey-haters. It pisses me off when I see some Gerard fangirl spew hate at Mikey on Twitter, then turn around and act sweet and innocent to his brother. Yeah, I'm sure Gerard's really impressed when he sees his fans harass his family. You're entitled to your opinion, but if you adore him so much, show him and his family some respect. (Seriously, what do they think he's going to think? "OMG ur so right, thank u for enlightenin
Some things we need to be clear onohmygod I'm writing a blog entry k here goes nothing.
The points I would like to address tonight go as follows:
- The sources information is gathered from and how accurate they are
- The homage paid to Destiel
- Reasons why Destiel may not be taken seriously until it actually happens
So here goes nothing
Sources and their credibility
Honestly? No source is fully accurate. None. Not from the CW network, not from the cast and crew on twitter - nothing. Why? Because in the writing universe, which applies to TV shows as well - anything can go any which way and not even cast will know it. Ask any novel writer how many times they have changed the course of their story after saying it will go one way, and laughing their way to the world of writing as their readers were left asking what the flying fuck just happened. Basically what I'm saying is that, unless a friggen producer of the show says THE THING IS CERTAINLY GOING TO HAPPEN WE PROMISE, don't trust anything they or the cas

As for me, I am doing a lot better! I feel great and confident to say that I am officially back online! With a lot of support from Florbe (who I love so dearly) I was able to swallow my fear of showing my face again. Many Thanks to her also a shout out to Pelissa She is a sweetheart and I've known of her since the beginning of the Avengers/Thorki fandom so a lot of my works are inspired by her. Her and Florbe! Such lovely ladies!
Anyways, I hope to submit awesome stuff soon! It's summer and I want to shower you all with Summer themed AU's!
Always, with love,
A poem I found on this computer (at school)(Okay I have no idea if someone at my school wrote this or if it's written by an actual author or what, but I found this poem saved to a computer at school and I feel the need to share it.
Maybe I shouldn't without the writer's permission, if it was a student, but they saved it to the computer, so I figure it's probably fine.
If they find out I'm posting it here and want me to take it down, I of course will do so. But I just want to post it because I think it's beautiful.
So, anyway...)
In the silence that occurs before the sunrise
When I awoke
The Sun had not yet risen
And the stars shone like clear-white eyes in the velvet of the heavens
Pinpricks in a depthless-blue void
And I stopped to hold my breath and press myself to the window
Like the body of a lover
To feel the crystal-clear cold seep through the glass to my bone
I was alone
There was no hint of day and I cherished it
My own private Universe
A room and hallway all unto myself
And a window to the wild empty world
Vast. A
Best Weekend of My Life...! How Fast a Year GoesSo, a few of you on here know this already, but a lot don't.
This isn't due to me wanting to keep this a secret, not at all actually, just that it's difficult sometimes to figure out when and how to tell people something that's such a big deal to you, like this was.
I will stop being cryptic very soon. I promise.
Okay. So this time last year, if we're going by date and pretending that the time here is the time in Las Vegas, I would've been standing downstairs in this awesome little exclusive club in the Hard Rock Hotel. One of my best friends, Jo, standing beside me, and my leg is pressed up against the tiny stage.
Watching Grant Morrison, James Dewees, and Gerard Way giving a one off performance.
This time last year, the best weekend of my life was just kicking off.
I should probably back track a bit and explain, huh?
The event was MorrisonCon, a convention celebrating the work of Grant Morrison (some of you guys will know him as Korse from the Danger Days videos )

Thank you, My Chemical RomanceThis is yet another one of those other millions of journals saying goodbye and going sentimental and dramatic that willl pop up in your inbox. Feel free to ignore; I only need to vent out the goodbye.
Anyway...I'm quite speechless and, at the same time, with a thousand things to say.
The first time I knew about My Chemical Romance...was around 2006/2007. I was around 10 years old. I usually spent the time at my brother's room, and he usually had the TV on MTV as this programme where they played the most wanted 10 musical videos of the week.
Every day and week, between the first places, there was this song that I loved. I liked the singer as soon as I saw him, even if I was a child; 'he's not ugly', I remember I thought because I was too shy to say 'He's handsome'. He was this vampire-like pale guy of black hair that sang in a church, whose girlfriend (or so it seemed at the time) had died and it was her funeral.
Then, another video joined after some weeks. I didn't recognize the face,
SnowflakesIt's really interesting when you figure out you're not special. When you realize that everyone else romanticizes the past, fantasizes impossible scenarios, cries tears of anger, laughs at inside jokes, and can deliver sass and sarcasm just like you. I've realized that I actually am extremely self-centered, and that that's just the basic nature of every single person ever, because we dwell, primarily, inside our own heads. We're all lonely. We're all trying so fucking hard. I'm right and I'm wrong; I'm unique, just like everyone else. There are some things I am so passionate about that my eyes light up and my hands make weird, flip-floppy gestures and my voice rises twelve octaves; and then there are some things I'm learning not to take myself so seriously with.
I'm not delivering this as some kind of profound statement to, I don't know, inspire your poetry or whatever. This is literally just me speculating a
The Art of DystopiaSci-fi dystopia art is one of my favorite things on DA. The amount of detail is incredible, and you feel like you're actually looking into a future world. It's easy to get lost in these drawings. With the Killjoy comic coming out, I thought it would be fun to feature some of this incredible art. It might influence the way you imagine Battery City.

"Dig In And Do Good" Gives MasterCard® Cardholders A Simple Way To Help Drive Funding And Stand Up To Cancer®
MasterCard Worldwide and Stand Up To Cancer are once again coming together to give dining out a purpose through "Dig In and Do Good." Beginning today, when cardholders spend $10 or more when dining out, or ordering in, and choose to pay with their MasterCard card through September 28, 2013, MasterCard will make a donation to Stand Up To Cancer one precious cent at a time, up to a total of $4MM.*
This year's "Dig In and Do Good" campaign will include a cause marketing television spot featuring Stand Up To Cancer ambassador, two-time Emmy-winning actor Eric Stonestreet. Stonestreet is known for his role as Cameron Tucker on the ABC comedy Modern Family.
"Like most people, cancer has personally affected my life. My mother is a two-time survivor and unfortunately more of my family and friends have been touched by this tragic disease. That's why I am honored to support Stand Up To Cancer and their collaboration with MasterCard's 'Dig In and Do Good' campaign," said Eric Stonestreet. "Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer."
"Through the Dig In and Do Good campaign, raising funds for cancer research is as easy as eating lunch with your colleagues or having dinner with your family," said Stand Up To Cancer co-founder and CFA member Rusty Robertson. "We are so incredibly grateful for MasterCard's incredible continuing commitment to help eradicate this disease.""The 'Dig In and Do Good' program gives our cardholders a simple way to stand up to cancer when they sit down for a meal and join us in support of a cause that is personal for so many of us," said Alfredo Gangotena, Chief Marketing Officer, MasterCard. "It's an extension of our commitment to give our cardholders meaningful and unique ways to make a difference while going about their daily lives and doing the things they enjoy."

Audience member Iris asks Dr. Oz if taking antibiotics over a long period of time is harmful. Iris is taking her antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. Iris confirms her doctor has indicated that she may need to take the meds for about a year.
Dr. Oz answers that the length of time one takes antibiotics depends on the bug. For a bone or heart infection, a person may have to take meds for six weeks or more. Dr. Oz explains that doctors make sure antibiotics are taken until 100% of the infection is gone, otherwise, the small percentage of bugs that still remain will come back.
Dr. Oz asserts that he needs to know more about Iris' history to know why the doctors have her taking antibiotics for such a long time. His immediate thought is that Iris might have a weak immune system, which might be prompting the infections.
An audience member asks Dr. Oz if having a heart stent (a small mesh tube that's used to treat narrowed or weakened arteries in the body) requires one to be on blood thinners all the time.
Dr. Oz answers that blood thinning medicine can often be used by someone for at least two years after surgery, or, until the artery is fully healed. Blood thinning medicine like Plavix® prevent sticky blood platelets from building up and adhering to the stent, allowing constant blood flow through the affected artery.

he dumped me :-(
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 11:13am
Out of nowhere he tells me that he wants to break up. He said that he started to feel pressured. That I'm too special of a person to be wishy washy with and he needs to figure out what he wants to do. I was shocked! I don't understand how he felt pressured when he was the one taking the lead on everything. I liked where he was leading me to, so I happily followed.
Now I don't know what to do. Clearly there is nothing I can do. He has to be the one to decide what he wants. This all happened two weeks ago. He called me twice since then to reassure me that it's not me and that he needs to figure out what he wants. He hasn't returned my clothing and he hasn't asked for the keys to his place; but I'm going crazy!! I miss him so much! Has this happened to anyone of you?

He either 1) needs his space (so don't call him...seriously, just leave him be. This is the time for you to think about if he was giving you everything you wanted, etc.), or he's 2) scared of commitment. Very common. They go in head strong (sounds like him), definitey pursuing you, wanting a relationship, and then BOOM! They're done. They can't give anymore because they are incapable of doing just that (read: "He's Scared, She's Scared." VERY helpful book).
But no matter what, give him his space. Allow him to miss you. He will either 1) come back or 2)never come back. Understand that ALL of us go through this kind of break-up/heartache. It's common, and it makes us stronger people (I speak from experience).
Go to the Mending Broken Hearts board. Everyone there will help you. There's nothing wrong with you, don't worry. Understand that things were going too fast for him (his decision, I know) and that he went too fast and got in too deep. This happens all the time.
Use this time to your advantage. Keep yourself busy. Take up a new hobby (seriously...I did, and it HELPED). Talk to your friends, family, etc. But don't talk to him. Not to be mean, but to give him that space. Don't ask for your stuff back, and don't try to return his. He knows you have it. Don't worry.
I know it hurts, but it happens to all of us. Keep posting.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

|Critic Rating Good
|Guest Rating
U.S. News Review
Since the 17th century, The Buccaneer has been welcoming guests to its charming retreat along St. Croix's picturesque northern coast. Guest rooms are elegant and simplistic in design, featuring bright blue, green and salmon-colored decor and 21st-century amenities like satellite TVs, minifridges and private patios or balconies. Although it lacks ultra-luxurious amenities, like lavish bath products and Jacuzzi tubs, previous visitors say they felt completely relaxed and comfortable thanks to the hotel's accommodating staff and numerous family-friendly activities. While the kiddos make new friends at the Kid's Camp, adults can take a swing at the 18-hole Buccaneer Golf Course or turn up the romance on a sunset sail for two. Recent guests also applaud The Buccaneer's scrumptious dishes, which include classic American fare, Mediterranean delights and even banana pancakes at the five on-site restaurants.How we rank hotels

It's odd when Phoenix Mountain Pointe's Erica Long jostles with Phoenix Desert Vista's Kara Miller on the soccer field. The two play club soccer together and have been best friends for years.
It gets wilder when the two play against each other three times in this final month of the regular season.
It'll be downright bizarre if the two play against each other in a state title match.
Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction, which is why a state championship scene involving these two teams could take place in a month.
But it could also involve Tempe Corona del Sol, the 2006 state champion.
It's been commonplace in the 5A Central Region the past couple years, and it's happening again.
According to this week's Power Point rankings, the top three girls soccer schools in the state are in the Central: Mountain Pointe, then Corona, then Desert Vista.
Meanwhile, Chandler Basha will play the three schools a combined eight times to end its season, and Tempe Marcos de Niza won one region game last year, then went to the 5A-II state semifinals.
The Pride lost in overtime to Corona in last year's title game, but it was the second consecutive season a Central Region team won state. And there's no reason to believe two Central schools won't be there again in three weeks.
"The way it's going right now, it's a definite possibility," Long said.
Entering today's matches, the three schools are a combined 42-7-3.
Though perhaps not quite this dominant, the Central Region has enjoyed itself for most of the past decade.
Because of club teams, socioeconomic factors and quality coaching, the three schools have risen in near-uniform fashion the past few years.
Mountain Pointe is chock full of seniors this season, led by Long and future-ASU teammate Alexandra Elston. The Pride's only loss thus far is to Corona earlier this season.
Corona has never had a losing season in school history. This senior class has lost nine times in four years.
Desert Vista went to the state finals in 2004 under current Pride coach Kirk Nelson, and the Thunder won in 2005, despite Corona winning the region.
"You can't fall asleep here," said Thunder coach Paul Manoogian, in his first year at Desert Vista after six years at Mesa.
The difference for most of these Central Region teams: Commitment.
"On any given roster I had three or four full-time players on the roster," Manoogian said. "This year I have three who don't play club full-time, so 90 percent of the kids in my program are playing year-round. It's a huge deal."
Matt Smith learned the same thing when he arrived at Corona seven years ago after being a Dobson assistant. He coaches club soccer in the summer, including three girls who play for Basha, so he's heard the grumblings about how tough the Central plays.
And never one to toot his own horn about coaching prowess, he pointed out Brittany Whalen is an assistant at Mountain Pointe, and the school's all-time scoring leader. Patti Smith is an assistant at Corona, and the school's all-time scoring leader.
Since then, the three programs have been intertwined in high school soccer, club soccer and away from soccer.
Most girls on the three teams have known one another since elementary school.
"The competition among itself continues to build," Matt Smith said. "You can't relax. My first couple years at Dobson, we'd win the region if you close your eyes."
Those days are long gone.
The East Valley Region has improved, but with Mesa Dobson no longer a dominant force, no one is holding a candle to the Central, and the region is set to prove that by battling each other from Friday until February.
"This region is crazy," Long said. "It's a special group of girls, something that just kind of happened."

Lessons Learned, Volume 1: Natalie Survived the Northeast Blackout of 2003
March 27, 2013 | 3 comment(s)
This post is part of a series showcasing real-life survival stories. 'Lessons Learned' is a way for individuals and families to share what they learned from living through a disaster. To read all Lessons Learned stories, click here. To submit your own story, click here.
The Northeast Blackout of 2003 affected 45 million people, including my family. The blackout started on August 14. I was 13 at the time, with a 10-year old sister, 3-year old brother, and two older brothers who were 15 and 18. My younger sister had a blast swimming in our neighbor's pool during this time, but I didn't dare get in because I didn't want to be covered in chlorine for days. As a pre-teen girl, the idea of not taking a shower for four days was mortifying. There was one day when it poured rain so hard that I was actually able to get in my bathing suit and take a quick shower in the rain.
During the day we felt like we were roasting and wished we had something like a solar generator to power a simple fan. The nights were alright because it gave us a chance to cool off, but scary because everything was pitch black. Fortunately, my mother was prepared ahead of time with emergency candles, 72 hour kits, and a supply of food storage and water. The biggest thing we should have done differently is having moist wipes like the Ready Bath Basics, and a portable toilet. Luckily, our neighbors let us use their pool water to flush our toilet. We wished we had more water because we went through it so quickly. Many food storage products require water to prepare them, which is something we did not consider fully when deciding how much water to store.
Natalie Haight
Thanks Natalie, for sharing your survival story. You did a great job of pointing out essential items to have in an emergency.
Luckily Natalie's family could stay in their home and were able to survive with their emergency kit that included water, food, and lighting. Fellow preppers, storing water should be a priority for you and your family.
Here are a couple lessons we gleaned from Natalie's story:
- Store enough to have at least 1 gallon per person per day for 14 days. Store more to make bathing and toilet flushing more than a luxury. Click here to see Emergency Essentials' water storage options.
- Consider how you might keep your family cool if you're struggling to survive hot summer weather. You might open all the doors and windows to create ventilation, but do you have netting to keep out insects? Click here to explore various survival scenarios.
- Have a swimming pool.*
What did you learn from Natalie's survival story?
*Tee hee hee. Juuust kidding.

We have a horse watering trough thst the kids used as a pool. Now they are grown we still fill it and have it for emergencies
Lauralee Hensley | March 27, 2013
I agree with having more than water for drinking, but for preparing food and for everyone to brush teeth and sponge bathe at least. Another thing that would require water is if you needed to cool off, you can hang dampened sheets over an open window if there is some breeze blowing in. It will help to cool down a house a little bit, or you could say that it would only be done in one room of the house and if someone needed to cool off a little bit that they could go into that room that has the dampened sheet hanging over the window. Granted it will have to be re-dampened when it dries out. Also extra water would be needed if you filled up some spray bottles to just mist your skin for evaporative cooling purposes if needed. Also don't drink things that will make you dehydrate faster, or a lot of sugary drinks that may cause you to possibly be more likely to get a bladder infection, thereby causing you to need to drink more water than normal. Best to stick with water as your main hydrating fluid rather than canned soda pop or kids boxed juices. They are fine in moderation though (maybe one a day, earlier in the day) during periods where they may have to be something to get some fluids into your body by.
grama | March 24, 2014
We & a couple neighbors went to a vacation-ing neighbor's home to collect pool water--to have on hand to douse small fires from the grills we were using to cook food we didn't want to spoil. The Aug 15 blackout hours during the day into evening provided a communal picnic atmosphere as refrigs were emptied & refreshments were shared. The heat at night was uncomfortable & after a couple days no one felt safe allowing the kids in the neighbor's pool water. Having water for fire-emerg was my 1st item. The 2nd was fueling our truck. On Aug 14 I happen to be near a filling station around 4-5p so I gas-d up our big truck but within 1-2 hours people were lining up cars-deep for hours...
thanks for beprepared.com

Tent pegging (sometimes spelled tent-pegging or tentpegging) is a cavalry sport of ancient origin, and is one of only ten equestrian disciplines officially recognised by the International Equestrian Federation. Used narrowly, the term refers to a specific mounted game with ground targets. More broadly, it refers to the entire class of mounted cavalry games involving edged weapons on horseback, for which the term "equestrian skill-at-arms" is also used.

Cavaliers have practised the specific game of tent pegging since at least the 4th century BC, and Asian and later European empires spread the game around the world. As a result, the game's date and location of origin are ambiguous.[1]
In all accounts, the competitive sport evolved out of cavalry training exercises designed to develop cavaliers' prowess with the sword and lance from horseback. However, whether tent pegging developed cavaliers' generic skills or prepared them for specific combat situations is shrouded in anecdote and national chauvinism.[2]
According to the International Equestrian Federation, "most equestrian authorities are of the opinion that tent-pegging originated in India in the middle ages in the battle fields as a tactics used by the horsed cavalry against elephant mounted troops"[3] A cavalier able to precisely stab the highly sensitive flesh behind an elephant's toenail would cause the enemy elephant to rear, unseat his mahout, and possibly run amok, breaking ranks and trampling infantry. However, other scholarly sources suggest that the sport originated earlier in Central Asia[4] or the Middle East[5] and was later on popularised in India.
The term "tent pegging" is certainly related to the idea that cavaliers mounting a surprise pre-dawn raid on an enemy camp could use the game's skills to sever or uproot tent pegs, thus collapsing the tents on their sleeping occupants and sowing havoc and terror in the camp. However, there are few reliable accounts of a cavalry squadron ever employing such tactics.
Because the specific game of tent pegging is the most popular equestrian skill-at-arms game, the entire class of sports became known as tent pegging during the twilight of cavalry in the twentieth century.
Essential rules[edit]
The specific game of tent pegging has a mounted horseman riding at a gallop and using a sword or a lance to pierce, pick up, and carry away a small ground target (a symbolic tent peg) or a series of small ground targets.
The broader class of tent pegging games also includes ring jousting (in which a galloping rider tries to pass the point of his weapon through a suspended ring); lemon sticking (in which the rider tries to stab or slice a lemon suspended from a cord or sitting on a platform); quintain tilting (in which the rider charges a mannequin mounted on a swivelling or rocking pedestal); and Parthian (i.e., mounted) archery.[6]
A given tent pegging competition's rules specify the size and composition of the target; the number of consecutive targets placed on a course; the dimensions and weight of the sword, lance, or bow; the minimum time in which a course must be covered; and the extent to which a target must be struck, cut, or carried.[7]
Contemporary sport[edit]
Today, tent pegging is practised around the world, but is especially popular in Australia, India, Israel, Oman, Pakistan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The Olympic Council of Asia included tent pegging as an official sport in 1982, and the International Federation for Equestrian Sports recognised it as an official equestrian discipline in 2004.
From the results of the 2008 International Tent Pegging Championships, the world's three leading national teams are currently Canada, India, and Oman.[8]
While members of cavalry regiments and mounted police forces still dominate world-class tent pegging,[9] the sport is being increasingly embraced by civilian riders. United States of America has entered this sport in December 2013. A new team has been established for the United States of America under the banner of United States Tent Pegging Federation (USTPF).
New and emerging national tent pegging associations have helped spread the sport's popularity. The Australian Royal Adelaide Show,[10] the British Tent Pegging Association,[11] and the United States Cavalry Association[12] now hold annual national championships and demonstrations in their respective countries.
In Pakistan tent pegging is known as Neza Bazi as well. It has been playing in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and some parts of Sindh and Balochistan. There are many clubs who have owned different and unique style of Turban and Waistcoat to identify their clubs. People decorate their horses for the competition. Every club arrange a neza bazi competition. All clubs are invited to participate in the competition. There are some specific shows being arranged since many decades. National Horse and Cattle Show is one of them. It is held at the Fortress Stadium Lahore every year usually in end of February or at first week of March. Tent pegging is a part of this event. Clubs from all the districts of Pakistan participates there.[13]
Sussex Peggers Riding Club www.sussexpeggers.com(a British Horse Society British Riding Club) also holds - and takes part in - annual competitions and demonstrations in the UK and overseas.
The pre-eminent tent pegging games remain centred in Asia and the Middle East, with the International Tent Pegging Championships and the continental Asian Games traditionally enjoying the highest number of competitors and participating states.[14]
Governing bodies[edit]
The recognised international governing body of Tent Pegging is International Tent Pegging Federation. The ITPF headquarters are located in Muscat, Oman. It was founded as World Tent Pegging Federation in 2013 by representatives from England, Australia and South Africa, Pakistan, India and others renamed the World Tent Pegging Federation in 2014, and took up its current name in the same year.[15][16]
The ITPF has 28 members: The ITPF is responsible for the organisation and governance of Tent Pegging's major international tournaments, notably the Tent Pegging World Cup. It also appoints the judges and referees that officiate at all matches and events. Each nation has a national federation which regulates Tent pegging events played in its country. The Tent pegging federation also selects the national squad and organises home and away tours for the national team.
The ITPF has 28 members countries in beginning. Following are the members of the federation. Oman, Pakistan, Yemen, India, USA, UK, Australia, Afghanistan, South Africa, UAE, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Norway, Sudan, Qatar, Netherlands, Namibia, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Germany, Canada, Bahrain, and Denmark.[17]
International Competitions[edit]
Since its formation the ITPF has organised several international competitions.
First Tent Pegging World Cup 2014[edit]
After the formation of the federation, the world body decided to launch their own World Cup competition. The first and the inaugural Tent Pegging World Cup was organised by the Oman Equestrian Federation (OEF) at Al Rahba Farm, Barka, Oman from March 31 to April 4, 2014. The participant countries were Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, South Africa, Britain and Australia who qualified the Sudan and Pakistan qualifying events in January and February respectively.[18]

Oman, South Africa, Pakistan, England, India and Australia hosts the international championships regularly. Other countries also organize the events at different times.
2007 International Tent pegging Championship Oman[edit]
- The 2007 International Tent Pegging Championships were held in Muscat, Oman. This event was rare of its kind as each continent was represented by a single national team: Europe by Britain, whose team came from the Household Cavalry and the Royal Horse Artillery; the Middle East by Oman, whose team came from the Royal Cavalry; Asia by Pakistan, whose team was under the patronage of Malik Ata Muhammad Khan; Africa by South Africa, whose team had been selected from national civilian trials; the North America by Canada, whose team was lead by Akaash Maharaj and last year's champion, India, whose team came from multiple branches of their armed forces.[20]
Popular culture references[edit]

Stop loss insurance comes in where a small-business employee experiences a catastrophic health situation that involves enormous costs. Stop loss coverage provides a financial backstop for a small business when health costs balloon beyond what was anticipated. Studies by the RAND Corporation show employers who lose the self-funding option are most likely to drop health insurance – meaning the end result is simply fewer covered workers.
It should be alarming, if not surprising, that U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., a chief author of the federal health reform law, says he's worried that implementing the law will be a "huge train wreck."
Why, then, would California lawmakers want to tie small businesses to these ill-fated tracks by eliminating a time-tested alternative to traditional health insurance or the nascent exchanges? The answer rests in an unproven theory espoused by backers of health reform that "self-funded" employee health benefit plans operated by small businesses will interfere with the federal law's success.
Their preemptive strike against this "threat" is legislation to effectively eliminate the self-funding option for small businesses by limiting their access to "stop loss" insurance. The latest incarnation of this anti-small business idea is Senate Bill 161 by Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina.
The point at which the stop loss coverage kicks in is known as the "attachment point," which has become a target for critics of small business self-funding. That's because California cannot directly eliminate self-funding – such plans are federally regulated. But by grossly inflating the minimum attachment point, SB161 would have the same effect.
The bill would push every dollar of employee health care below $65,000 directly onto small business, an enormous increase in how much liability they would have to assume before their stop loss policy could cover costs. For context, a $65,000 "individual attachment point" would be more than three times the current "model statute" of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that applies to stop loss insurance.
Previous proposals in California proposed an attachment point of $95,000. While lower, $65,000 remains an actuarial shot in the dark that doesn't reflect the actual cost experience of small businesses that self-fund their health plans.
The truth is that supporters of restricting stop loss want to push small businesses into one of two options – back into the expensive, rigid small group insurance market or into the unknown of the small business exchange. Unfortunately, the desire to use stop loss as a backdoor way of eliminating self-funding misses a real opportunity for lawmakers. The fact is small businesses and their employees could benefit from some stop loss reforms, such as guaranteeing small businesses have the opportunity to renew these plans and that all of their workers would have equal access to coverage. Done right and based on better math, a much lower minimum attachment point could help ensure small businesses choose self-funding under the right circumstances and have the financial wherewithal to pay a reasonable amount of claims expenses for their workers.
Until it meets these objectives, lawmakers should reject SB161.
John Kabateck is the executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business.

List of Job sites in UAE
I have also written a post about List of Recruitment Agencies in Dubai Abu Dhabi UAE. There is a fundamental difference between Job Sites and Recruitment Agencies.
Job sites do not usually have a brick and mortar set up and do most of the recruitment online, while a recruitment agency usually have brick and mortar set up and are actively involved in the recruitment process.
There are hundreds of Job Sites in UAE and more are mushrooming everyday. To distinguish good from the not so good is a job in itself for the candidates. Hence, I thought of making lighter the job of candidates looking for jobs.

Flamethrower 0.1.8
Flamethrower is intended to be an easy to use multicast file distribution system.
Main features:
- Works with entire directory heirarchies of files, not just single files.
- Uses a server configuration file that takes module entries that are similar to those used by rsyncd.conf.
- Flamethrower is an on-demand system. The multicast of a module is initiated when a client connects, but waits MIN_WAIT (conf file) for other clients to connect. If other clients try to connect after a cast has been initiated, they simply wait until that cast has finished, and catch the next one when it begins.
- The udpcast package is used as the multicast transport, and offers a gob and a half of tuning parameters.

Lighter No-Butter Gluten-Free Pie Crust – a GF savory olive oil crust for your New Year's Resolutions more
I've been looking for you everywhere, and you've been right here the whole time. You're in the "Lighten Up" section of the Internet! New Year = New You. I've gotta make a note for next January.
Last night I made a really lovely, robust chicken pot pie, but I had at least half of my favorite tried-and-true ingredients tied behind my back: no cream, no butter, no mascarpone, no roux. No fun? Yes fun!! It was still so thick & satisfying. And it still had a rich-tasting, flaky crust.
Since the crust is the most important part, I'm sharing the recipe for Savory Olive Oil Crust from page 42 of My First Cookbook with you. Oh, and here's a tip: use this crust for the Spinach Pie on page 134.
The secret's in the fat – it's olive oil instead of butter. Even the paleo people let you eat olive oil, right? This crust is a bit more delicate to roll out than a traditional gluten-free pie crust, but the same principles apply. And it comes together in a snap. Just you, a few ingredients, a bowl and a spoon. And one ingredient is water! You know you have been meaning to hydrate in the New Year, right?
2 cups (280 g) high-quality all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons (70 g) extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 to 3/4 cup (4 fl. oz. to 6 fl. oz.) cold water
In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum and salt, and whisk to combine well. Pour in the olive oil and then the vinegar, and stir with a fork to combine. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and stir until the flour absorbs the water, then mix or knead until the dough comes together. If the dough is crumbly, add more water by the tablespoon, mixing after each addition, until the dough is smooth.
Divide the dough into two equal parts (about 8 ounces each), flatten each into a disk and cover each tightly in plastic wrap. Allow the dough to sit tightly wrapped at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the moisture of the oil and water. Place each piece of dough between two pieces of unbleached parchment paper, and roll until it is about 1/8 inch thick (the thickness of a nickel).
The dough is ready to be draped over a souffle dish or pie plate filled with a thick, savory filling (such as chicken pot pie or vegetable stew), trimmed and cinched tightly. Bake at 375°F until the crust is set and lightly golden brown. Serve immediately.
