Jonathan Mayo is an MLB.com Draft and prospect expert. He has been a reporter for MLB.com since 1999.
What a difference a few months make. AT the end of the 2014 season, the Atlanta Braves had one of the weaker farm systems in all of baseball. A slew of trades have helped to restock things considerably as the Braves try to re-make the organization in the way successful Braves teams of the past were built.

The Minnesota Twins have something very good going on in their farm system. With six prospects on the Top 100 list, they are generally considered to have among the top two or three farm systems in baseball. They also know that placement on prospect rankings doesn't mean a whole lot in the big picture.

In just two trades -- one with the Marlins that involved Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes, and one with the Mets that brought in R.A. Dickey -- the Toronto Blue Jays emptied a large portion of the Minor League cupboard. In a short period of time, however, they have done a good job restocking the shelves, to the point where they have one of the best systems in baseball.

The Red Sox, already with a reputation of having one of the top farm systems in baseball, are to be on the cusp of adding to their prospect coffers with Yoan Moncada. But even without the Cuban infielder, Boston not only has a ton of talent, they have a good amount of it at the upper levels of the system. The Sox top two prospects, Blake Swihart and Henry Owens, look solid at big league camp.

Honestly Tired of it
I'm honestly sick and tired of making comics or journals or whatever about women's rights. But it seems like every week there's a new story about how some asshole guy makes some sort or sexist remark, or how women are being excluded from some place, or killed in others... I'm so sick and tired of it all. I wish I didn't have to talk about it all the time because I think "women's rights" are really just part of having "common sense," but apparently the rest of geek/gaming culture doesn't think that way.
I was going to make a couple of comics for SYAC elaborating on these recent issues, but I just don't feel like it anymore. I don't want SYAC to become a preach-wagon for Women's Right's issues more than they already have. So instead I'm bringing you the rundown in this journal instead of making more comics about them.
David Goyer
David Goyer is a screenwriter most famous for working on Man of Steel, the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy of Batman movies, and other superhero films. He's currently writing the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League screenplays. Recently at a convention he was asked about She-Hulk and Martian Manhunter, and had some idiotic things to say.
I'm not gonna post the transcripts from the interview, if you want to read them you can read them here: www.themarysue.com/david-goyer…
But suffice to say, he called She-Hulk a "porn star designed to fuck the Hulk" and proceeded to call anyone who was familiar with Martian Manhunter (after asking people in the audience to raise their hands if they knew who he was) "people who need to get laid."
There's no excuse for his unprofessional and disgusting behavior. Especially since She-Hulk is actually Bruce Banner's COUSIN. And do I need to explain how calling your fans "virgins" for knowing a comic character is disrespectful?
It's not even so much that he's joking in such an offhanded manner that bothers me. THIS is the man who's in charge of bringing Wonder Woman to the screen. A man who believes She-Hulk is a porn star designed to fuck The Hulk. I'm sorry but... I've lost all faith in Warner Bros at this point. Fire that asshole and get some actual professional talent on your films, DC.
Janelle Asselin Gets Rape Threats for Reviewing Teen Titan Cover
This one is less complicated. Janelle Asselin (a woman who worked in the industry as the DC editor of Batman and line editor at Newsrama), criticized the cover for a recent Teen Titan book, explaining in detail why she disliked it.
That's it. That's all she did.
And for that she started receiving death threats, rape threats, and a whole slew of other negative responses. For reviewing a cover to a book.
Look guys... it's one thing to bark and bleat when you think censorship is going on (such as when Anita Sarkeesian disables comments on her videos), but criticism itself is NEVER censorship. As much as I hate a lot of the criticism lobbied against me on the internet, I'm not gonna try and stop people from expressing an opinion. I can politely request the people posting criticism think twice and remove the work if I feel it's too offensive, but in the end it's up to the user to decide not me. And the same goes here. All she did was criticize a COVER for a book. Not the content inside the book. Just the cover. And she EXPLAINED WHY SHE HATED IT. She wrote lengthy detailed explanations for why she didn't like it. So it's not like she's just "hating for hate's sake" or anything so stupid.
Good god people... grow the fuck up... This is NOT something to get up in arms over. She is allowed to have her opinion. You're even allowed to disagree with her opinion. But never, under any circumstances, think that rape and death threats are justifiable responses. EVER.
Sigh... to read more please go here: www.thedailybeast.com/articles…
California Killer
I don't even want to talk about this one, because it would just be giving the sick twisted individual the attention he obviously craved. So instead I just want to say, if you live in California, or know anyone affected by it, please do your best to support them. Donate to local charities, send them prayers, do whatever you can to help those who had to suffer at this sick asshole's futile rampage.
Feminism And Men
One of the reasons I self identify as a Feminist is because Feminism believes men aren't idiots. Feminism believes that men have self control, are capable of thinking with their brains not their dicks, and generally believes that men can make a positive difference by being supportive. Whenever I see issues like the ones I've described here in this journal come up, it pisses me off to see people dismiss them as "men can't control themselves around women."
I'm sorry but FUCK YOU if you think that. That is not only victim blaming, but incredibly disrespectful towards men too. As a man myself, I refuse to be associated with idiots incapable of keeping things in their pants at the sight of a pretty woman. This is not 1943. You are not the Wolf from Red Hot Riding Hood. It is not "instinct" to lose control and harass, attack, slander, or murder a woman for looking a certain way. Fuck anyone who believes that bullshit.
Feminism is not about hating men, but about believing that men can be better than the lowliest basest instincts that society tells us men are. That men are capable of thinking rationally and not blaming women for problems they've caused. In believing that men can and will stand up for and with women when an injustice happens.
I dunno... I guess after reading some of the comments from the last SYAC about the "consent with cosplay" issue, I just feel like THIS side of Feminism gets overlooked or brushed aside a lot.

Cisco and Apple have backed Microsoft's fight against a warrant that would allow US law authorities access data stored in offshore data centres.
The companies filed a joined amicus brief supporting the software giant's position against a warrant, issued last December, requiring Microsoft to hand over copies of emails and personal details stored on servers in Dublin as part of a criminal investigation.
Microsoft argues that search warrants for physical evidence can only be used within the United States borders, and can't be used to "search someone's home located in another country, just as another country's prosecutor cannot obtain a court order in her home country to conduct a search in the United States," according to the company's blog post.
Apple and Cisco added by ignoring that process and data protection laws in the countries where data is stored, no customer data stored by any service provider anywhere in the world would be safe from local governments.
"It also encourages foreign law enforcement to take reciprocal actions by using equivalent foreign laws to require production of data stored in the United States, despite disclosure prohibitions in U.S. law," they said.
Last week, wireless providers Verizon and AT&T, Electronic Frontier Foundation also filed petitions, saying US warrants don't apply to emails stored on an overseas server.

Family pet rescued from burning home, estimated $1.5 million in damage
POSTED: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 2:54pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 9:21pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — A fire destroyed a home worth an estimated $1.5 million. However, due to an act of heroism, a firefighter saved the life of the family cat, which is invaluable.
The Baton Rouge Fire Department responded to the home located on Rue Bienville shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24. When they arrived at the two-story home, it was completely engulfed with flames shooting out of the roof.
The owner of the home was inside when she noticed the blaze. She and another woman were able to escape unharmed. However, the family cat, which was still located inside when firefighters arrived, had to be rescued.
Investigators are currently working to determine what started the fire. So far they know it began on the back porch.
Officials say the home is a total loss. The home is valued at $1.3 million. The contents make the total estimated value roughly $1.5.

Match Report

By Jim Rossignol on March 9th, 2011 at 8:16 am.
The third Theatre Of War game posits a trip to Korea, and it might be a pleasant excursion for the hefty RTS, which previously made gamers feel tired with its stodgy presentation. This time around it's looking significantly more dynamic, with a non-linear campaign that adapts to your wins and fails, and lots more toys to direct the carnage with, including the ability to get right down with the vehicles and look around with binoculars to judge line of sight and such. Witness such things in the trailer, below. The game is out on the 25th of March.

"If you are honestly playing a character for the first time in an MM game, I hate you and wish you to die." THIS. If you need to try a champ, thats what practice games are for. Don't mess other peoples games/ratios up because you need to learn a champ. Practice is there, use it.

+1 for awesome post. read like half of it at this point. Onto the second half. :P
So long, but so worth the read.
LOL THIS IS SO EPIC! +1 tis a shame i can't thumb up it more!!! I love you condon! Right now im using winbeard(with some changes) to face roll some people!! THIS NEEDS TO BE STICKIED!!
This is win... +1
I should start quoting that first commandment at the start of every game I play. I have lost so many games because people immediately blue pill back to base after team fights and never push. Also +1 for gorram.
Condon Guides Win PERIOD.
Overall, great. This is something that needed to be put out there. Even worse than the "brb oom/hurt" after a teamfight is when they b at near-full HP/mana because "I gotta buy". Is buying 45 seconds earlier worth a tower? The one problem I see here is this: You say that people should never play a hero for the first time in a MM game. Agreed. However, you also say that if you play ten games in a week you should test out every free hero, and that playing a hero you lost to is a good way to see how to beat him. These seem like contradictory statements.

Now that the NBA summer league is over with the Sacramento Kings defeating the Houston Rockets 77-68 to claim the Las Vegas Summer League Title it's time to take a look back and reflect on each team's showing in both Orlando and Las Vegas. Each time showed flashes of brilliance and many are brimming with future stars but as expected many players showed signs of inexperience and hesitation when taking the court. Ten teams participated in the Orlando Summer League that took place July 5th- July 11th while twenty-four teams participated in the Las Vegas Summer League from July 11th – July 21st. Three teams, the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers took place in both events. The 76ers took home the trophy in Orlando while the Kings reigned supreme in Las Vegas. We will take a look at some of the highlights and lowlights that each team displayed throughout summer league play.

Fiber Drives Global Broadband Access Forward
"Our G-PON Certification program will help the industry expedite fiber network rollout and pave the way for swift expansion of superfast broadband and the development of new technologies. It will enable next generation systems to come to the market faster and with interoperability from day one," commented Robin Mersh, CEO of the Broadband Forum.
The latest Broadband Forum work includes technical specifications related to Optical Access Nodes and associated test plans for conformance and inter-vendors interoperability. The ONU conformance testing program is being expanded to address specific ONU profiles. Test plans are also developing around a proposed Broadband Forum G-PON ONU/OLT test suite, which establishes OLT network interoperability with BBF.247 certified ONUs. Furthermore, the G-PON test plans are being extended to XG-PON1, covering both Physical Layer and upper layers for ITU-T PON technology.
Optical layer management for PON access and Layer 2 PON architecture and functional requirements are also in development, and projects on Intelligent Optical Distribution Networks (ODN) and Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTdp) have just started. The FTTdp work is particularly exciting since it has the potential to speed up and simplify the installation of super-fast broadband.

Hear Jim James' EDM Remix of Bob Marley's 'Waiting in Vain'
Synths, cymbals, and bass mark 'Legend Remixed' compilation
Bob Marley's classic Legend compilation will soon receive an EDM-flavored makeover. On June 25, Island/Tuff Gong/UME will release Legend: Remixed, a 16-track collection featuring remixes of tracks from the 1984 original. The upcoming record includes alternate takes arranged by My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, Roni Size, RAC, Photek, Jason Bentley, and Marley's sons, Ziggy and Stephen, both of whom produced the project.
As Billboard notes, Stephen Marley teamed with Bentley on a Hyundai-endorsed redux of "Three Little Birds" (hear it via Rolling Stone). The newest remix to surface is Jim James' respectful rendition of "Waiting in Vain," which can be streamed below. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, James said, "I wanted to give the listener a sense of the same awe I felt when I first pulled up the multi-track masters and soloed out the vocals only... It was so unbelievable for me to finally be able to hear the voice I had loved for so long all by itself. So I built the opening around the vocal with minimal bass synth and percussion as well as adding some harmonies in myself."
He continued, "I also added in some elements from the original take that people didn't get to hear on the final mix: little vocal asides here and there, and the funny ending riffs that a few of the guys played as they all stopped one by one... I wanted the song to build and groove in a different way so I re-recorded new drums as well as other sound effects."
Pre-orders of Legend Remixed can be placed through Amazon.
Legend: Remixed track list:
1. "Waiting in Vain" (Jim James Remix)
2. "Stir It Up" (Ziggy Marley Remix)
3. "Three Little Birds" (Stephen Marley and Jason Bentley Remix)
4. "Could You Be Loved" (RAC Remix)
5. "No Woman No Cry" (Stephen Marley Remix)
6. "Get Up Stand Up" (Thievery Corporation Remix)
7. "Satisfy My Soul" (Beats Antique Remix)
8. "I Shot the Sheriff" (Roni Size Remix)
9. "Exodus" (Pretty Lights Remix)
10. "Easy Skanking" (Stephen Marley Remix)
11. "One Love/People Get Ready" (Photek Remix)
12. "Redemption Song" (Ziggy Marley Remix)
13. "Is This Love" (Jason Bentley Remix)
14. "Jamming" (Nickodemus and Zeb Remix)
15. "Punky Reggae Party" (Z-Trip featuring Lee "Scratch" Perry Remix)
16. "Buffalo Soldier" (Stephen Marley Remix)

Hey all. A few days off generally means several things. There is laundry to be done, I discover the butter on the counter has gone bad, I forget to shave, the weather turns bitter and it rains, and I get a cold. Or the flu. Not sure which this is yet, but it's early in the day.
October marks the third year of the routine torture of the sensibilities that Rand's Place provides, I become another year closer to overall decrepitude and there's also a new personal project in the works that I'll be sharing with you. Hang out. Just don't eat the butter.
Stay tuned!

Vysotki - Seven Sisters, Moscow

Stalin did build seven other skyscrapers however, allegedly inspired by the Municipal Building in New York.
They form a series of huge, cathedral-like structures with intricate exteriors and are given various labels: 'The Seven Sisters', 'Stalinist Gothic', 'wedding cake architecture' and so on.
Stalin did build seven other skyscrapers however, allegedly inspired by the Municipal Building in New York. They form a series of huge, cathedral-like structures with intricate exteriors, and are given various labels: 'The Seven Sisters', 'Stalinist Gothic', 'wedding cake architecture' and so on...
One of 7 Moscow's high-rise buildings -
on Kotel'nicheskaya is an apartment house - lots of actors live there
From one of the bridges crossing the Moscow River, we had a good view of the Moscow skyline. Some of the more notable buildings were the famous 'Seven Sisters' (Vysotki). They are skyscrapers built in the 1940s and 1950s, inspired from baroque Kremlin towers, gothic cathedrals, and American skyscrapers of the 1930s.
Today the impressive buildings are used as apartment buildings (Kotelnicheskaya Naberezhnaya and Kudrinskaya Square), hotels (Hotel Ukraina and Hotel Leningrad, government buildings (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Heavy Industry), and the Moscow State University.
In 1950s seven Gothic skyscrapers were built around Moscow and became its symbols. The tallest and most beautiful is the University building. Others are MID (Ministry of Foreign Affiars), residential building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment, residential building on Kudrinskaya square, office building on Sadovaya-Spasskaya, hotel Ukraina and hotel Leningrad. Each was uniquely and beautifully decorated. The eighth "sister", Triumph Palace, was added in the XXI century. It is a luxurious residential skyscraper, the tallest residential building in Europe, and designed in the same style, albeit not decorated as elaborately. These buildings have undoubtedly added majesty to the city. T
Two similar buildings were built outside of Moscow: one in Warsaw and one in Kiev (where the steeple was not constructed).
Stalinist architecture you cannot escape and is worth seeing. The style of the seven sisters is unique although there are copies in Warshaw and Riga. It's worth going close to one, so you can really appreciate its dimensions.
When you stand next to these buildings, they are very impressive. They look different from the side or the front. These landmarks are easy to reach. This one is just outside Metro Barrikadnaya. But you first see it from the side, for this view you will have to walk along the street and round the corner.
The Seven Sisters are one of the finer points of Stalinist rule. In 1947, foundations were laid for the Seven Sisters as part of the city of Moscow's 800th anniversary celebrations, and were aimed at bridging the "Skyscraper Gap". Now they dominate the skyline in Moscow, whilst still being very beautiful. The magnificent seven are:
The Foreign Affairs Ministry (Smolenskaya-Sennaya pl. 32/34)
Hotel Leningradskaya (ul. Kalanchevskaya 21/40)
Hotel Ukraina (Kutuzovsky prospekt 2/1)
Kotelnicheskaya apartment block (Kotelnicheskaya nab. 17/1)
Kudrinskaya apartment block (Kudrinskaya ploshchad)
Moscow State University (Universitetskaya pl. 1)
Transport Ministry (ul. Sadovaya-Spasskaya)
A couple of months ago construction of one more vysotka was completed near metro Sokol. This is block of elite flats called "Triumph-Palace". Now it is the tallest house in Moscow - 264,5 m. (And I guess in Europe! Commerzbank in Frankfurt is 257 m. Correct me if I am wrong). Next in Moscow is MSU building on Vorobjev hills - 240 m. "Triumph-Palace" is now in top 100 tallest buildings of the world (No.63) between Bocom Financial Towers, Shanghai and 120 Collins Street Melbourne pushing MSU one step lower to the position 126.
Sorry, I have not jet taken a photo of it. This is a photo of the scale model from internet.
My guide assured me that this was as "grand" a hotel as Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately I did not have the oppertunity to go into the Ukrainia to verify that asserttion for myself. While in deed Grand Hotel Europe in SPB is "GRAND" in an "old world" style on the interior, it' s setting in the center of "downtown" St. Peteresburg where the buildings are barely distinguishable one from the next all in a row, the Ukrainia easily far surpasses GHE in as an "artistic" statement on the landscape.
Love them or hate them, the seven gothic skyscrapers which dominate Moscows skyline are an integral part of the city's architectural heritage.
Conceived by Stalin in the 30's, the buildings themselves were not all completed until 1953. Collectively known as Vysotniye Zdaniyes "high buildings" they also have the nickname "Seven Sisters" and were located at specific sites around the city to mark its boundaries.
These include the Apartment Block at Kudrinskaya Square - Krasnaya Presnya, Moscow State University at Sparrow Hills, Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Smolenskaya Square, Hotel Ukraine - Kutuzovsky Boulevard, Administrative Building - Red Gate Square, Hotel Leningradskaya at Komsomolskaya Square and the Apartment Block at Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
I saw this and just could not believe how tacky it is. I had to know how something so ugly could get built. I finally found a local who explained it to me. The story told to me goes something like this.
The statue was built as a representation of Christopher Columbus and was offered to the USA by the communist government (CCCP) to commemorate the anniversary of Columbus "discovering" America.
The Americans politely turned them down as the Russians would have expected this monstrosity to be erected ala' the Statue of Liberty.
The Russians were incensed by the snub. The cut the head of Columbus off the statue and placed the head of Peter the Great instead. It was then erected on the banks of the Moskva river where it is now.
It now commemorates the explorations sanctioned by Peter the Great. Now I'm not sure if this is all true but it would explain everything except tha fact that this thing is really horrible.
The Seven Sisters in Moscow consist of seven similiarly designed skyscrapers, built during the 1940's-50's under Stalin's instruction. They consist of:
1. Moscow State University (Constructed mostly by German prisoners of war),
2. Ukrainia Hotel (Tallest hotel in Europe, was tallest in world when completed, with over 1000 rooms)
3. Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
4. Kotelnicheskaya Naberezhnaya (Kotelniki Apartments)
5. Red Gate Square (Ministry of Transport, other Administration and apartments),
6. Leningradskaya Hotel,
7. Kudrinskaya Square (Apartment block, containing 452 flats)
The buildings are all impressive, it is worth while to visit some if you have the opportunity, to feel their dominance up close.
There are 7 tall buildings in Moscow built in 1950-s - so-called Stalin's Skyscrapers.
1. Lomonosov Moscow State University
2. Block of Flats on Kotelnecheskaya enbankment (on the photo)
3. Block of Flats on Krasnaya Presnya
4. Hotel "Lenindradskaya"
5. Hotel "Ukraina"
6. Ministry of Foreign Affairs
7. Ministry of Transport
All are worth to see, but first two in a list I consider to be masterpieces of architecture.
there are 7 similar buildings in different places of the city (they also are called "seven sisters")...such style is called "stalin's gothic".
one of them is the Moscow University (MGU),
two are hotels, two are the ministries of foreign affairs and of transportation, and the other two are blocks of private flats
Ok, we have weddings in Moscow.
We also have "wedding-cake" architecture here :-)
Commonly known as that "wedding-cake" style, the Stalinist Gothic style of architecture can be found at key areas in Moscow. There are about 7 of them & I think I saw 3.
Some of the most distinctive are those of the Foreign Ministry, the Moscow University & Hotel Ukraine.

UST Mamiya's Proforce V2 Hybrid is a Tour proven, high performance graphite shaft that features the highest quality materials for the best feel and performance. The result is the most consistent, best feeling hybrid shaft UST Mamiya has ever produced.
Here's why: the fiber orientation in the butt and mid section of the V2 Hybrid is designed to create hoop strength that gives the shaft a uniquely stable feel in the hands. Like the original V2 wood shaft, the Hybrid design balances the tip section to launch the ball higher with increased ball speed, while the optimized torque reduces spin for superior control.

Romano x Reader
Warning! Contains strong language/cursing!
"Hey, I'm home!" you called, pushing open your front door and stepping inside.
"Oi, Ragazza!" your roommate Romano called back from the kitchen.
The two of you had been friends for a long time, but you had been living with him ever since you had been kicked out of your last place. Which had been, well, a while ago now. His brother, Feli, had actually proposed the idea to the two of you. Romano immediately went on the defensive, cussing out his younger brother, but you thought it was a great idea. So, here you were. It wasn't all that much different from before, though, since you came over a lot.
You enjoyed the brother's company; Feliciano often dropped by as well, much to his older sibling's chagrin. Feli didn't seem to notice his brother's inferiority complex towards him though, but you, on the other hand, picked up on it a while ago. You thought it was stupid, personally. The brothers did a lot of stupid stuff.
You threw your things down on the couch and ran into the kitchen. Lovino was at the stove, cooking like usual. You were never good with that kind of stuff, so you were glad you now had someone who was. You scurried up to him and glomped him from behind, jumping up and wrapping your arms around his neck and shoulders. "Romano!" You sang.
He jumped, startled by your attack. "Chigi! Ragazza, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that?" he said, blushing lightly and clearly annoyed, putting down whatever he was doing. You giggled and let go of him, dropping back to the ground. He turned to face you.
"As many as you want, I'm not gonna stop," you giggled again, hugging him and kissing his cheeks. "Buona sera!"
"Ciao," he said moodily as he returned the gesture.
You admitted that this seemed really formal for your friendship, but you really liked stealing the chance to get close to him. He was nice to you and rarely cursed at you, unlike Feli and Antonio, who often dropped by as well, but it was still a little hard to get this close to him.
"So, what are you making?" you asked as he turned back around, going back to cooking.
"No, really, Lovi?" you laughed sarcastically as you sauntered off to set the table. He grunted in response.
As you walked back into the kitchen to grab already finished plates of food to put on the table, Roma stopped you.
," he started to say.
"You what?" you asked obliviously after a second.
He started to stutter. He pushed your arm away. "N-nothing," he said, his face turning a little red. "Dinner's almost ready." He turned back to the stovetop.
Well, wasn't he acting a little
You grabbed platters of food and left to put them on the table. While you were gone, Roma was mentally beating himself up. You didn't notice as you grabbed the rest of the food and put it on the table.
Heading back into the kitchen, you saw that Lovi was bent over at the countertop, running a hand through his hair.
Once again, odd.
You stepped over next to him closing the cabinets he had left open, and poked his side. You got almost no response from him. "Come on!" you chimed as you swept past him, heading towards the door leading to the dining room. He grabbed your arm, stopping you. You froze for a moment before laughing nervously.
"Lovi, why are you being such a weirdo tonight?" you teased, trying to laugh it off. You yelped as you were pushed onto your butt, and then onto your back. Romano was over you, straddling your hips, his hands by either side of your head. You were surprised and your eyes were wide, but you quickly calmed down, much to Roma's surprise. You wondered what in God's name he was doing, but it didn't really matter all that much. Dinner was probably getting cold. Both of you really hated cold food
"O-oi!" he said, after a moment, straightening up and breaking you from your idle thoughts. "Why aren't you freaking out, you idiot? Aren't you a girl?"
"Because. I know you wouldn't do anything to me," you said promptly and simply.
Something snapped. You saw it. His eyes widened before his brows furrowed and his usual frown deepened. You blinked in surprise. He slammed his hands back down next to your head.
"Lovimmph!" You were cut off by his lips on top of yours. Your eyes widened, and you struggled to push him off of you. He growled and pinned your arms over your head, continuing to forcefully kiss you. Only when you stopped fighting and relaxed did he pull away.
He looked down at you, his eyes still upset and frown still intact, panting slightly. "I can if I want to. Don't forget that."
"But!" you objected, but closed your mouth and looked away. You took a deep breath. "You
don't want to, Lovino," you concluded quietly. "You never have." The words came from your mouth without any thought. "You never wanted me like that."
"You idiot!" he roared. You flinched at the sudden outburst. "I never said anything like that! Ever! Putting words in my mouth now, are you, bastard? Why can't you get it through you thick skull, damn it? II! Ti amo, stupid Ragazza!" he yelled, and roughly kissed you again. He pulled away, and looking like he was disgusted with himself, got up off you. You saw tears welling in his eyes. Breathing heavily, he stormed over to the door, and, grabbing his coat, flung it open.
"Toni's," he said, as he thundered out the door. "Don't follow me, asshole." His voice was strained, and he slammed the door.
You just laid there in shock. After a while, warm tears started to stream down your face.
Why were you crying? This was almost like a dream come true. You had loved Romano for the longest time, and, even though he didn't do it well, he had said he loved you. So, why were you crying so damn much? Why?
You curled into a ball and sobbed.
You took a deep breath and sighed, dropping your head, countless thoughts swirling around inside. You needed to be distracted. Things would play out, whether for good or bad. You were sure of it.
You reached out and knocked on Veneziano's door. If anyone could take your mind off of this, it would be him.
"Ciao, bella!" he chimed happily as he answered the door.
"Hi, Feli," you said.
"Ve, bella, what's wrong?" His face fell to match yours when he noticed your sad expression.
You rubbed your arm nervously and looked away, a little bit of heat rising to your face. "It's nothing really. I just stopped by because I need some cheering up."
"Ah, alright
Have you eaten yet?" he asked you, returning to his cheery self and catching you off guard by the random topic. "It doesn't matter; I'll get you some pasta anyway. Pasta always helps!" He wandered off into the kitchen, leaving the door open for you.
You stepped inside, took off your coat and hung it on the rack by the door. You slid your shoes off and closed the door with your foot before heading to the kitchen, where the younger Italy brother already had two plates of pasta ready. You plopped down on a barstool, and he sat next to you, handing you a plate. A minute of silence passed as you both started to eat.
"So, bella, why are you so sad?" Feli ventured, genuinely worried.
"Feli, I don't want to talk about this"
"Was it Fratello? I know he can be kind of a dick sometimes."
After a moment, you nod silently.
"Ve, you two are like a married couple, aren't you?" he said dreamily, as always.
You almost choked on your pasta.
"F-Feli!" you spluttered.
"What?" he asked innocently. "You had to have noticed already."
"Noticed what?"
"Well, he's letting you stay at his place, right? He gets mad if even I stay with him too long, ve. And he cooks for you and doesn't call you mean names. And you like him, right? Because I know he likes you, too."
Your face heated up instantly. "H-How
"Ve, because I'm Italian!" he smiled.
You sighed and looked off into the distance. "Yes, I like him. But how do you know he likes me?" you asked, looking at him out of the corner of your eye.
"Fratello told me. Didn't he tell you already?"
You looked down, and nervously started playing with the food on your plate. "H-he told me. Just tonight."
"Ve, that's great, ______! So are you two, like, together now?"
You stiffened. "No."
"Why not?" Feli whined. "Don't you like him back?"
do like him, but
he thinks I don't. He thinks I rejected him," you slowly said after a pause, your eyes not leaving your plate.
"But why?"
"Because he's an idiot who doesn't know how to confess and then runs off!" you snapped, suddenly very upset.
"Well, then we have to fix that!"
"Come on, _______!" he sung happily, dragging you to the door by the wrist.
As you stumbled up to Antonio's house, you reminded yourself to never get in a car with Veneziano driving ever again. Even though Vene could give surprisingly good pep talks.
You pulled open the door without knocking, and walked into the house. You paused as you passed through the dining room, a bowl of tomatoes on the table catching your eye. With a smirk, you grabbed one and headed to the living room.
Romano and Spain were there, where Spain was trying to console a tearful and pissed off Romano, who was sitting on the floor for reasons unknown.
You stepped back, almost into Feli who was following behind you.
"How did you know he was here, by the way?" you whispered to him.
He just shrugged. "I'm his Fratello."
You rolled your eyes at him, and stepped into the room. Crossing your arms, you just stared as Romano whined to his former Boss.
"And now she's going to hate me, and get close to stupid Veneziano"
You already had enough of this. This was so idiotic. He was so idiotic. You were upset with him already, but now he was just pissing you off. You cleared your throat loudly and both men snapped their heads up.
Lovino's face went bright red. "O-oi! What did I tell you, asshole?" Romano yelled at you, even with tears streaming down his face.
"Shut up," you snapped.
He ignored you and started to rant. "Didn't you hear me, damn it? I said not to fucking follow me"
He was interrupted by a tomato exploding on his face.
"And I said to shut your mouth. Maybe I have something to say, you ass."
He wiped the tomato from his face and stared at you, his usual frown deep-set on his face again.
You squatted down to your knees and crawled over to him, staring him in the eye. "You're a real idiot. You know that?"
He opened his mouth in defense, but before words could escape his mouth you grabbed the sides of his face and kissed him softly. He tensed for a moment, but quickly melted into the kiss. You pulled away and stared into his hazel eyes.
"Ti amo, Lovi."
You stood up and stared down at him. "And that's how you tell someone you love them! And then you wait for them to tell you that they love you back, not run off!"
You didn't know what was making you so mad or so bold, but as you looked at a shocked and still tearful Romano, it slowly faded away. It was replaced with a new feeling.
You started to shake, and tears started to roll down your face again. You covered your face in your hands.
"Ti amo, you idiot. F-fucking ti amo!" you said, hiccupping and wiping tears from your cheeks.
Lovino didn't know what to do. He kind of sat there awkwardly for a second. Toni nudged him, motioning towards you. Roma mouthed something before Toni pushed him again.
"Hug her," Spain whispered to Roma, pulling him to his feet.
Roma shot Spain an almost death glare before wrapping his arms around you. After a minute of you just crying in his arms, he looked back at Spain.
"Keep going," he mouthed, motioning with his hand.
I'm sorry, Ragazza," Lovi cooed, awkwardly rubbing your back and petting your head as you buried you face in his chest.
"No crying, mia bella." He pried your face from him, cupping it in one hand and wiping a tear off your cheek with his thumb before leaning in and kissing you tenderly. His lips were soft, and did he know how to kiss. He moved just right, and you melted into him.
Spain gave a thumbs-up to Italy who was bouncing around excitedly.
A couple weeks later, Toni had stopped by for a chat. As the three of you sat down, he grinned widely. You and Roma wore matching questioning expressions as both of you sipped your drinks.
"So, when's the wedding?"
The two of you both did spit-takes all over the table.

Welcome to race day at the second round of the 2009 FA Formula One World Championship, the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang.
The weather here has returned to its usual heat and humidity, with an ambient temperature high of 32 degrees Celsius expected. However, serious concerns remain about the likelihood of the same sort of torrential rain we saw around 1800 hours on Saturday, which would mean it arriving two-thirds through the race's scheduled distance.
The 5.543 kilometre (3.444 mile) circuit is unchanged since Kimi Raikkonen won for Ferrari last year. The race will run over 56 laps or 310.408 kilometres (192.887 miles).


text: The wife and I go to our lgs Dec 24 and were looking at revolvers. She carries a 642 and loves it. So I talked her into letting me buy a used model 60=10 3" that looked like new. She told me I better carry it and not just leave it in the safe. Well this week she informs me that she wants it and it's hers not mine. Maybe I should get her a box of 357s to shoot in it instead of 38s and hope that she doesn't like it. On second thought I think I'll just let her keep it and that will give me an excuse to buy something else. It looks like this is the only disadvantage to having a wife that is into guns.

Shrewsbury have completed the signing of former Aldershot defender and skipper Darren Jones, much to the delight of Graham Turner.
The 28-year-old turned down a new deal with the Shots earlier this week before leaving as a free agent.
Jones has already worked with Shrews boss Turner during his time at Hereford.
"I think he's a very good defender. He's very strong, very aggressive and he's got enough mobility and pace about him to deal with strikers in the first division," Turner told the club's official website.
"It will be a new experience for him at this level having played in the Conference and then League Two for Hereford and Aldershot.
"Having lost our central defenders Ian Sharps and Shane Cansdell-Sherriff we are delighted to have brought Darren in and I think he will do a good job for us."

I haven't got a chance to play Demon Souls yet, sounds too difficult/frustrating for me. Excellent list! I have seven of those on my list so it seems like we have a similar taste in games. Have you had a chance to play Assassin's Creed II?
A pretty good list. The only thing I'm a little unsure about is Demon's Souls. I know a lot of people seem to be into it, but it just looks like it's way too cruel to be enjoyable. Now, I can sort of get into roguelikes and things like that which can be pretty punishing, but Demon's Souls looks like it goes just a bit too far.
Also you can check out my list if you want to see how our picks compare.

Editorial: State deficit to hit cities outstate
Minnesota faces a $1.2 billion projected state budget deficit. Citizens should not expect to see a quick resolution to this growing challenge.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty says he will not call a special session to deal with the budget, but is consider-ing an emergency unallotment plan that would hit cities again and even K-12 funding.

I have started receiving text messages from the sender 6250 with the message VZWNMN:1 I remember receiving the same messages some time back but now they are coming much more frequently. About 8 today, 50 total over the past week. They seem to come about the same time I get email from my non Gmail account. They now are marked urgent! In the notification bar. VZW tech support says it's caused by third party text apps. I had chomp installed, uninstalled it and no change. Of course they now suggest an FOR. Any suggestions? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
It seems to have. I deleted those emails from back up assistant plus. Got a text from the same number that it was deleted. So far no new texts. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I called VZW back to share this with them. Funny one VZW tech had the answer and a customer has to share with the others. They really do try though, and they are always nice. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I never received any emails..I turned off bua+ and just got the text...ironically it doesn't show up in text list..I have smsflash and appears only as a popup..
Should have said email accounts on BU+. I actually don't know how those email accounts for registered with BU+. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Log in to my Verizon. Click view profile. Click "I want to. Under messaging, manage email settings. Delete the accounts listed. When I go there now, having deleted all accounts I get a pop up too add accounts. Before the AOL account was listed. Hope this helps. It had no effect, as far as I can tell, on my email service. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Actually just went in there and got the pop up for BU+....just closed it..didn't activate or didn't check the agreement....and then got this text.. View attachment 60526
Good news yet to get the 6250 text since that one time this morning...lol. Also I never registered my account to any email.. my profile was blank..hopefully all this nonsense will stop. I did deactivated BU+..so maybe all this will eventually stop. Everything all good for you I take it?
Yes, no texts from 6250 after deleting those accounts from BA+ Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
