You have to acknowledge that not all the people in Japan deny war and the people who apologize are making sincere apologizes. I do admit that there are people who do deny or tend to glorify history to a certain extent but you have to understand that those comments are not made by the same people that apologized.
Most of the people know that what they have done in the past is wrong or they either feel indifferent about it since they don't have strong individual experiences regarding it.
I think there is a tendency in Korea and China to overly exaggerate the issue and make it feel like everyone in Japan glorifies and denies their past but in reality its not.
This article seems to deliberately ignore the fact that Japan is currently waging multiple territorial disputes in three different fronts against four countries at the same time, raising tensions in the region. Japan is cancer of Asia. Always has been, always will be.
To Korea, Japan has been nothing but a wild lunatic monkey on the back throughout its entire history, and Korean people certainly will not miss Japan if it sinks into the Pacific ocean tomorrow.
"You could not say a word if you see the media about assembly of far-right Japanese people. Still, this does not represent the whole Japan. Hope you have got ears and eyes to listen and understand what I am trying to say."
The problem is you are putting words in to my mouth. Or making me to be a Japanese apologist. I am not. Do I have to show how many Japanese people I beat in my life to show I don't love Japanese people. While I can sympathize with China, Philippines etc demanding an apology from the Japanese, But, I don't think what the Japanese did in Korea warrants an apology, if that is the case, then the Americans should apologize for the Philippines. Why single out the Japanese for their colonization of Korea? I don't see anything comparable in Korea/Taiwan to the hundreds of thousands massacred in the Philippines by the Japanese, or the millions killed in China.
No country likes being ganged up, whether Japan, China or Germany. That is what I see happening in these forums. People trying to equate bring in Japanese war atrocities in China when arguing about what Korean should do. Some Chinese hardliners are pressing the Chinese government join forces with Russia, ROK to gang up on Japan over territorial disputes. Luckily the Chinese government is not so stupid. That approach opens a can of worms for China, and the Chinese government knows that. China's problems with Japan, are solely China's, Korea's problems with Japan, are Korea's.
>nobody in Asia likes Japan. Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, not even Russia
That is such a wrong statement.
People in southeast Asia tend to be way more progressive than Korea and china.
Korea and china keep passing on the hatred they got from 70years ago and brainwash their citizens who havent even experienced war with anti-Japanese propaganda as you can see from the comments here.
I know it is important to pass on history but the way they do it is just terrifying - I sense a sort of fascism from the two.
Sometimes I'm so worried about the prospect of northeast Asia. Why can't we just move on?

'you are saying "Because japan had imperialism, accept any lies"?
sorry my poor english.'?
NO. you should be SORRY for your non-repentance instead.
your english or japlish, whatever, is ok. and don't let that 'sorry' to deter you from posting, even though I think you are so wrong.
ah Bismarck buddy
'Too busy working, studying.'
that kind of explains why no good four-bit comment-bugs like me and you are hanging out here so much, me bashing japanese war crimes and you taking pot shots at them chinese.
that's right, 'no phone, no pool, no pets. I ain't got no cigarettes...' and no job too (have you got a job? I sure don't), but just a hand me down iPAD and quote-worn wikipedia to roam around and bashing about.
what a life. king of the road of internet, or parasite of it?
If any of the posters here take a look at the Korean demonstrators and compare them with the anti-Japanese Chinese demonstrators, one will notice a stark difference. Most of the Chinese demonstrators are young, which is similar to Indonesia (where most demonstrators are young), the only difference is the Chinese haven't resorted to through feces at the Japanese embassy yet. In contrast most of the Korean demonstrators are middle aged or old. Many of them are vets. That also fits the profile of the anti-North Korean demonstrators also.
Also, the demonstrations in Korea are smaller, tend to focus on the Japanese Embassy. Where are the young South Korean demonstrators? Too busy working, studying. In Japan too, right wing demonstrators tend to be old guys.
The Final Solution for the Jews represented just one facet of the Nazi plans for becoming a continental power.
They were also going to wipe out the educated classes, sources of leadership of slavic societies for instance. And they had it in for other minorities, like the Roma and handicapped people.
As for actual killing, the Nazis certainly pursued some very brutal anti-partisan campaigns across eastern europe that matched the "three alls" of the Japanese in China, as well as created circumstances for Soviet PoWs to be worked and starved to death (which there were many).
Conversely, the deaths of Chinese is still much debated. I persnally noticed the numbers rising over the years from 15 million to 20 million to now some saying over 30 million.
The Penguin History of the Second World War commented:
"The one possible exception is the Chinese whose death roll, pecularly difficult to assess, has been put as low as 2.5 million and as high as 13.5 million." page 577
How many Koreans died died in the resistance? 500,000. Give me figures. I can give you cold herd figures of how many people died in the Philippines resisting American colonization.
Again for the GDP where are your facts? You have none. The point I am making is the Japanese colonization of Korea was no worse than the European colonization of Asia. I did not say Japanese colonization was good, I said it was no better or worse than what the Europeans did. Had the Japanese not invaded China, most Koreans would be speaking Japanese today.
Not everything is about the US. Not everything in the world is an issue for the US.
It is difficult for provincialist America to understand that the world was here before America and will be after.
Japan apologized more than fully, Wikipedia even lists about 50+ official apologies. In San Francisco Japan settled its' war reparations. Concerning Japanese domestic issues: it might be so that Japan has a high debt-to-GDP, but the country actually pays less than 1 percent interest on its debt, making it one of the most highly regarded economies in the world. South-Korea pays double to triple the percentage.
Hi, i'm Japanese. Korea has no official rerecord about Comfort Women. just saying "give us compensation and apology. There are women who insist that they were victims. It's the proof " . How can we believe that? and we went to Korea to investigate what the truth is, about Comfort Women. we interviewed with a lot of Korean women but nobody knows such a thing. If Korea prepares official record or reliable proof, then we have to apologize about that. we can not compensation without evidence.
I don't understand why the puppet government of the South Vietnam let the SK soldiers to kill too much Southern Vietnamese on our southern soil? That puppet government even didn't stop the SK soldiers from insanely killing and raping the Vietnamese. Even only the Vietcongs who were managing the North blamed them for their sins. How did that puppet government mamage the South Vietnam?
Nguyen Van Thieu and the bunch of the South Vietnam's officials were so futile, stupid and corrupt guys. They even couldn't protect our southern citizens.
This bunch of stupid guys invited the S. Koreans into our southern soil to kill and rape our people. I wonder why they couldn't kill the S. Korean soldiers who killed their citizens.
I went to school in Japan for a while and I learned about comfort wives, the massacure in Nanjing, and the inhumane crimes committed by Japanese soldiers.
All this talk about which country has a superior culture, who is more right, and what not is silly, and like others have said, it is getting really old. I hope my generation of people in their 30s and younger don't buy into all this stupid arguing on an emotional level, and learn to respect one another as Asians. Territorial disputes happen. There's no need to go into name calling from that.
The problem is that either sides are too stubborn, and too stupid, to make a constructive move. The problem is that there are far too many crazy far-right/right-wingers in either countries.
Both countries are accusing each other and both countries feel that they are right and the other is wrong. It's getting old. This is going nowhere because neither sides can admit or budge an inch and say that they are wrong. It's like watching children fight.
If you studied history its clear that China, Russia, other Western powers, and Japan were trying to expand into Korea. We were in a era of coloniosm and most of the world was conquered by the Western powers that time and it was only Northeast Asia where it still wasn't colonized - and the risk of being colonized was imminent.
China being the initial possessor of Korea however wasn't succesful in maitaining their influence and it was Japan which became strong and took possesion of Korea after two wars with China and Russia.
Although, I understand that this does not justify Japan's expansion into Korea (and I do not even attempt to) you need to understand that if Japan had not colonized Korea, there was a high possiblity that somewhere else would have done so.
Recommend. If Korea really thinks that it is its land they should just come out on ICJ, instead of appealing their claim elsewhere like the Olympics or having Korean singers swim to the island - it's such a shame. If they think it's their's, fight in justice.
And I see some comments saying that this is a Pro-Japan article but it just shows that the international commitee knows who's right and who's not.

Dear Devil's,
The reason why Japan went to Vietnam,with the consent of Vichy French govt., was to cut off the supply route to China. ]
THAT proved that Militarist Japan was the same kind of colonial power as Vichy France.
[Japan wanted to end the conflict with China but the US, French, and UK were supporting China.]
If Militarist Japan really wanted to "end the conflict with China", all that it needed to do is to go back to where they belong, that is the Islands of Japan. The fact that it continued its invasion and occupation of Chinese and Korean territories was proof that the militarists wanted war.
[ What those countries did was against international law and eventually escalated to Hull's note (which was basically a declaration of war) and Pearl Harbor.]
It was Militarist Japan that was against international law. That was why there was an INTERNATIONAL coalition among China and "the US, French, and UK" that fought against it.
[When Singapore fell to the Japanese, it gave a lot of hope for the SE Asians who had been under European control. A few years later, when the Europeans tried to come back they fought hard and gained independence.]
When Singapore fell to the Japanese, they conduct massacres on the resident population, which otherwise might have supported them. Thus the Japanese turned the residents against them and made them support the European colonialists. In other words, the Japanese were 10 times worse than the European colonialists. Japanese massacres were conduct all over East and South East Asia and against people of all ethnic backgrounds:
[Japanese agreeing to Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Never did and never will.]
The rest of the world never agreed to Japan annexation of Korea and never will. History has proved so. History have also PROVED that Japan accepted the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Otherwise, Japan would have counter-nuked the perpetrators.
[ Also, Japan did not surrender unconditionally. They accepted the Potsdam Declaration. There is a big difference.]
Unconditional surrender was part of the Potsdam Declaration:
The "big difference" is that you are a professional denier and a bad liar.
[I saw something about 731 when I visited the "Anti-Japanese" museum near Marc O'polo Bridge in Beijing. I don't believe anything Chinese say. Their history is 99% fabrication. ]
Japanese deniers' version of history is 100% fabrication. Only they believe in their own propaganda.
[None of those pictures would stand up as hard evidence. The Americans use it to justify their war crimes. Hiroshima and Nagasaki did really happen. That's one of the biggest "crime against humanity" I could think of.]
"Hiroshima and Nagasaki did really happen" and they were the handiworks of Unit 731.
[SE Asia doesn't like the Chinese but South China sea is controlled by China. East China sea, Sea of Japan, and The Pacific will be the hot spot for the next 10 years.]
Like it or not, The South China Sea was controlled by China through out much of history until the expansion of the Europeans.
[I insist that Japan is getting a bad deal with the US.]
Why should anyone else cares?
[ You complete underestimate the cost of not being an independent nuclear nation. The Americans only have the tendency to dominate.]
That's why China, and even North Korea, became a nuclear power as soon as it could. ;-), ;-),...
"'8. The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine.'"
The terms of Cairo Declaration were superceded by the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty (Since that is the final peace document between Japan and the bulk of the Allied Powers). Note the present tense "determine" instead of "determined".
China was excluded from SanFrancisco peace conference. I am certain should ROC be represented, China would NOT contest US's full control of these minor islands. But, given our humiliating experience at 1918 paris peace conference, I am equally certain China would insist on a clause about the final disposition of these islands. For example: "US can do whatever it wishes EXCEPT giving these islands to japan without consultation with the original owner, China". Which was exactly what the US did in 1972.
Many attributed US's 1972 action to cold war, but I disagree. At the time US still recognized Taipei as the sole representative of China, and what's more, DiaoYu is located on the east side of Taiwan, PRC had no naval capability to exert effective control in 1972, maybe not even today.
So the question is why, other than the obvious one that US considers Japan a vessel state so the transfer is merely perfunctory, only one reason is offered by a japanese poster (ironman?) that "Japan's kamikaze pilots had scared the s*** out of the Americans". As someone well versed in the politics and culture of both countries, maybe you can give a sanguine reason?

Children's advocate decries Roman Polanski release
A Swiss judge's decision not to extradite director Roman Polanski to the US is 'disturbing,' says a leading children's advocate. The filmmaker had faced sentencing in a 1977 child sex case.
Dominic Favre/Keystone/AP
New York
A leading advocate for missing and exploited children says a Swiss judge's decision not to extradite film director Roman Polanski is "disturbing."
"Our concern is that it's very important that no one appear to be above the law," says Ernie Allen, president and CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Washington.
Mr. Allen fears that the opportunity to arrest and sentence Mr. Polanski is gone. "My suspicion is that Polanski will very quickly return to France, where the options for prosecution will be minimal, if any. This window is closed."
Press reports are that Polanski immediately left his Swiss chalet where he had been under house arrest.
The next step for the US, if there is one, would be up to the prosecutor in Los Angeles, where the original case was tried in 1977, and the US Justice Department, whose Office of International Affairs pursued Polanski, who fled the country prior to sentencing.

tuesday: Germany-Italy wednesday: Portugal-France let's hope in good games and...win the best ! ps = difficult to predict. both looks like 50-50 games...
Italy have yet to play a really good team. They didn't excel against Australia or (despite the scoreline) the Ukraine. But they did enough. Germany should be slight favourites, given that they knocked out Argentina (not by much, admittedly ...) and have the twelfth man on their side (no, I don't mean the referee ). I make France strong favourites against Portugal -- not just because I have hated the way that Portugal play the game. They were poor against England while France, after a very slow start, were excellent against Brazil.
Italy, as you mentioned correctly, arrived at semi-finals without playing with a very good team (but in our first round 'on the paper' it was hard as we were with Czech and Ghana - so not so easy). Germany historically (see 1970 and 1982) 'suffer' us a lot... it will be necessary a top and well playied game for us to beat, in Germany..., the 'owner of the house'. still i think that Italy has the possibility to win that game. Portugal-France ?. PT recovers Deco and Costinha if i'm not wrong - so: a difficult task also for France...
Right about both -- not to mention that Italy absolutely thrashed Germany in the warm-ups to the WC. So I only have a slight feeling for Germany over Italy and wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way. Maybe it's my emotion in relation to Portugal (how could you not hate them after the Holland game?) but I think it will take more than Deco and Costinha to turn them into a rival to France -- if France continue to play as they have just started to.
i hv seen that in the Uk there is now a lot of hate to Svein Goran... no polemics on the red to Rooney ? (poor decision imho from ref...) tuesday i think that Italy-Germany will be seen from millions and millions of people form everywhere...
The winner of the World Cup will come from the Germany/Italy game. I do not believe either Portugal or France will be good enough to beat the winner of that game. Personally I hope, and believe, it will be Italy. Because of what is happening back home, with the 'cheating' inquiry, and the sad situation concerning Gianluca Pessotto, I think there is a mental toughness about them and a real togetherness. But,what a game! To beat the Germans on home soil. Game of the tournament, no doubt.
beautiful and amazing performance and incredible and very well deserved win from Italy 2-0 ! What a game from the Azzurri ! Here now italian flags everywhere ! And now sunday the final ! i do not like a lot soccer but honestly i'm very happy for the win
What a game! Magnificent performance from the Azzurri. Finest football game I have seen in a while. Again, Cannavaro (player of the tournament)Zambrotto, Gattuso and Pirlo outstanding. The two goals were taken superbly. Germans played their part. Dangerous on the break. Ballack started well but faded. Thought it would go to pens. And did I mention Pirlo? Going on holiday on Saturday to Majorca. Will be watching the final on Sunday night in a hotel with a few beers. Hope that the Azzurri will be playing Les Bleus. Not keen on Portugal at all. And did I mention Pirlo?
i think you liked Pirlo performance... anyway i agree with you ScotBhoy: a GREAT game from Italy beautiful the two goals now let's see if the final will be against PT or FR i am obliged to say...: Forza Italia !
Italia deserved it... I hope AC Milan get relegated so Gattuso can sign with United. There's little chance, however, of Cannavaro (MotM against Deutschland) leaving Juventus I feel. Odonker for the Germans, his price has skyrocketed after this WC.
Was out this evening so could only see the highlights -- but what highlights! Congratulations to Italy -- they came through when they needed to in a fantastic match. I'm very happy for you, IPTP.
I hope that anyone caught bribing or cheating will be severely dealt with. But I do not wish for the ruination of Europe's finest league by relegating teams such as Milan, Juve and others. Which United, Newcastle, DC, Sheffield, Manchester, Dundee etc? Personally, I hope it is for the Geordies!! Buffon has, allegedly, asked for a transfer if Juve are relegated. I don't think he will be the only one. Mmm. Not sure about him. But for sure Klose, Podolski and Lahm.
I know a windup when I see one. Roy Keane's United. Klose and Podolski were MIA against Italy, even though they didn't get much help from Ballack or Schweinsteiger. Odonkor on the other hand, excelled in every game he came on in. The real question for him is whether he can do it for 90 mins, or is he only a super sub.
it was a very good playied game from Italy, Mike The Brit. At the RIGHT time Italy really playied at best. Honestly Germany has lost because they were beated clearly from us. Now let's see this evening... interesting game surely...
i think that only in IT yesterday the game was seen by approx 23 millions people... ok...now in half an hour Portugal and France will play - the winner will face us next sunday i hope in another good game
Just started. I haven't seen anything very exciting yet, except that Barthez didn't keep hold of a shot and pushed it to where a forward might easily have got it (is this familiar, Gomez, Seymour?) and Ronaldo did about six step-overs in a row. Edit (75 minutes): A well deserved lead for France -- clear pen from Carvalho. Portugal diving like Greg Louganis -- no bookings. Barthez lucky to get away with amazingly inept fumble (is this the best goalkeeper in France? I can't believe it for a second.) Edit 2 (94 minutes): So France win. But it wasn't an impressive game (I seem to have missed all the good games of the tournament). The Portuguese have tried to bully and con the referees all the way through and I'm delighted that they've been beaten at last. Zidane looked detached, Henry was listless, Viera pretty much invisible. I'm happy but at this stage Italy are the favourites.

It all started with a weekend trip to Hyannis Port with their friends and family. After a couple of days of vacationing and just before dinner, Matt took Josh down to the boathouse for a "walk by the water". Matt got down on one knee and proposed to Josh asking for his hand in marriage. Minutes later (and after Josh recomposed himself) their friends and family joined to toast the couple. Then as the night progressed, the celebratory group walked up to the beach house, where Karson Butler Events transformed the backyard into dining al fresco for their friends and family to celebrate the evening.

Expected a more competitive match. Anabel was solid and kept her shots deep throughout, that alone was enough to force Niculescu into making error after error.

Congrats and get your tenth title tomorrow:yeah:
Apr 29th, 2011, 03:16 PM
Does Niculescu has to play qualifying of Madrid? Someone told me she was in the draw of qualifying, I wonder if that made any diference here?
Congrats to Anabel, I was able to see her in first round against Halep, the most tough match for her here. She is playing well.
Apr 29th, 2011, 03:36 PM
Melodynelson, your anwser c/o tennis-quickfound.
The top seeds in Madrid qualifying are #52 Simona Halep, #59 Monica Niculescu, #69 Alize Cornet, and #70 Polona Hercog. Monica Niculescu is playing in the Estoril semifinals on Friday. If Monica loses in Estoril, she might make it to Madrid for the qualys (her 1st match could be ppd-Sat); if she wins in Estoril, she will have to withdraw from Madrid. Polona Hercog might be in a similar situation in Barcelona.
Apr 29th, 2011, 03:45 PM
Hoorible, Monica! :o
Learn how to hit a ball down the line... :rolleyes:
Apr 29th, 2011, 03:49 PM
Niculescu is so bad :o
Apr 29th, 2011, 05:46 PM
:inlove: Vamooooooos !! :rocker:
Apr 29th, 2011, 06:34 PM
whoa, Anabel keeping it short? :eek::worship: Good luck tomorrow! If things go her way she's gonna be #1 spanish ranked player soon.

"Bully" (No MPAA rating (but PG-13 for a version with some vulgarities removed). An interesting and often touching documentary about several victims of bullying, two driven to suicide, and the parents and teachers who often had no idea what was going on. But it is episodic, and we're not sure what we learn from these personal stories except that they are sad. Three stars

Cleveland St. Vikings (13-8)
@Youngstown St. Penguins (6-12)
Friday, January 23
Beeghly Center
Attendance: None
Cleveland St.
Youngstown St.
Youngstown, OH (Sports Network) - Jack Liles led the way with 18 points and sank a pair of free throws late to help ice the game as the Youngstown State Penguins downed the Cleveland State Vikings, 64-60, in a Horizon League bout at the Beeghly Center.
Holding a precarious 61-57 lead with 15.9 seconds on the clock, Kelvin Bright missed both his free throw attempts, allowing the Vikings a chance to stay in the game.
Jeremy Montgomery got a jumper to fall to pull CSU within two, leaving 4.6 ticks on the clock and DeAndre Mays could only connect on 1-of-2 at the line -- leaving the door open yet again.
Up three, YSU fouled Norris Cole with 1.9 seconds to play. Cole hit the first and attempted to purposefully miss the second but left the stripe too early and Liles calmly sank two to seal the win.
Mays finished with 16 points while Sirlester Martin had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Penguins (6-12, 3-6 Horizon), who had lost three consecutive games and were coming off an embarrassing, 78-61, loss to UW-Green Bay in their most recent setback.
J'Nathan Bullock logged a double-double with 19 points and 14 boards while Cole contributed 18 points for the Vikings (13-8, 4-5), who dropped their third straight game and were aiming to find the win column following a heartbreaking, 77-75 setback to UW-Milwaukee last Saturday.

Fiolee .1 "We're almost there Fionna." Cake says with doubt. At least she's trying to cheer me up, I appreciate that. We just got back from a bloody adventure with Ice Queen, and it's raining hard, which makes my cuts sting. I feel the aching pain as I touch the huge slit on my thigh gushing blood Ice Queen made with her ice shard. She caught Prince Gumball again and, once again, I had to save him. Suddenly, Cake comes to a stop."Cake?" I say worried."I can't go on Fi." She says."B-But Cake!" I almost shout."Ugh, I see that vampire's house.""What? Marshall Lee's place?"I look ahead and see his cave. I tell cake to shrink down and hide in my bunny hat, while I run to his house. I painfully sprint to his door and knock. After a few seconds, he opens it."Fionna?" He asks."M-Marshall, do you mind if we come in?""Of course! What happened?" He says as he helps me in. As expected,Cake hops out of hat and hear her do her cat hiss at Marshall. Marshall just rolls his eyes
Fiolee .17 It's been about a month since I was told Cake was preggers. I still can't believe she fooled around with LM. These last weeks I've been taking care of Cake non-stop, not even thinking of Marshall Lee. I even lost 10 pounds from not having time to eat..But today, Lord Monochromicorn is coming over to take my shift. Thank glob! I can't believe i'm this exhausted from Cake! Her baby sure takes affect really fast. I haven't taken a bath since the day after the party. Cake is constantly calling me, and I am still laying next to my sleeping cat. Somewhere, I lost my hat in the clutter of my room, and survived without it all this time. My hair is in a messy bun, all the thick-curly strands on top of my dirty face. I haven't changed my clothes since a week ago, and it feels like an eternity since I saw my dear boyfriend...Sheesh, what a girlfriend I am. I hear a light tapping on the front door, and instantly feel relieved. Hoping it's LM, I get up and answer
Fiolee Fanfic Chapter TwoMarshall's POVLunch. She hadn't got her timetable yet so she had been following me around all day. She was even sat next to me for every lesson! This was probably the hardest thing I had ever done. What was wrong with me?"Hey, I've just thought," she said cutely, "We have been together all day and I still don't know your name.""Oh yeah, my name is Marshall, Marshall Lee." She smiled. I felt bad, she had told me about her parents and her childhood this morning but there was no way I could tell her my secret! She would freak out. Anyone would if they knew I was the Vampire King. Luckily we were sat under a tree so that I didn't get burned by the sun. I pretended that it was a race to see who could get there first as I kept in my whincing."Hey, um, Marshall. Are you alright? You seem distracted." I hadn't noticed that I was daydreaming. Had she been talking? Oh glob, I must seem so rude!"Yeah, I'm fine" I tried to break out a smile. Why was it so hard to speak to a mere human?"You h
The way you look at me, chapter 2Fionna's P.O.V."o-oh....my birthday?," I asked a little suprised Marshall nodded and smiled at me "hmmmm its, soon I know that for sure," I said unsurely "well that's okay Fi I'll just ask Cake about it," he said cheerfully "you just sleep tight tonight," he smiled at me I felt my heart jump in my chest. The reason? I have no idea. I got in my bed and Marshall and I talked about how I lost my hat I was starting to fall asleep when he started stroking my hair absentmindedly and singing a lullaby for me soon I felt the world around me dim and comfortable darkness surround me I heard Marshall's lullaby ended then I felt someone kiss me on the head..... Wait did someone KISS ME ON THE HEAD?! Maybe it was just Cake. Yeah that's it. Just....cake....Marshall's P.O.V.I saw fionna's body relax as my lullaby came to an end. She was so beautiful like sleeping beauty, her gold hair draped around her face making her look like a goddess as the candle light reflected off her hair. Her face w
Breaking Jason They arrived in the nick of time - all of Hades had broken loose. The air smelled of Greek fire and a blacksmith's workshop. Jason guessed that the latter was from the Cyclopes that barreled through the Roman legion effortlessly, but one thing he knew for sure was that he wanted to be as far away from them as possible. The air was filled with the sound of Celestial bronze against Imperial gold, the roar of the battle cries as thunderous as a waterfall. Demigods had flooded into Camp Half-Blood; there was fighting in every nook and cranny of their home. Swordsmen and axe wielders trampled over the strawberry fields; lancereavers fought in the dining pavilion, parrying and holding their own as they jumped from table to table; Appolo's cabin had secured the Big House, their shots hitting with deadly accuracy into the raging battles. Arrows were coming out from the rooftop, windows, and somehow one came out through the keyhole at
PhasellusReyna was not nervous. She was anxious. Yes. That was it. Her hands were shaking because of anxiousness, not nerves. The paleness of her face (which had caused Percy to remark, "You look like one of those Elizabethan ladies. You know, with the lead?") was caused by the idea of seeing Jason againnot that she was nervous about that, exactly. Just excited. Leaders don't get nervous, Reyna had thought. And even if they do, they can't show it. Weaknesses are stupid, trivial matters that cannot be acknowledged, no matter what. Even as the ship approached, she kept her nerves in check. She and Percy walked closer to greet whoever the leaders of it were. As they did so, her heart started palpitating wildly. Reyna crossed her arms over her chest to muffle the soundto her, it was deafening. When Jason and a few other people (Reyna barely glanced at them, to be honest) appeared and began walking down a
Not the Beauty you expect, nor the Beast you fearTo think this all started with that fool stealing from me. To this day, I still believe he had no reason to take that flower, besides some ridiculous test of bravery. To think, a grown man engaging in such activities, ready to turn tail and flee like a dog the moment he had his trophy. He doesn't even know the significance of what he tried to take! Not that he'd understand if I even bothered to try and explain it to him, but then he had to get all defensive, saying how it was just a flower. If he had just ran when I caught him, and I know he wanted to, then that would have been it. Though, I suppose if he had, I would never have met her.He just wouldn't leave well enough alone, even after I tried the whole scaring shtick. I must have not been quite as bad as the rumors had prepared him for, you'd think I was some sort of horrible cross between Bigfoot and a werewolf if you listened to them, because he managed to stand his ground. Now, while I may not be a cryptozoologist's dream, i'm
Fiolee Fanfic Chapter OneFionna's POV"Well, here goes nothing" I said to myself as I opened the doors to my new high school. Mum and Dad just got a divorce so I moved to England with Dad. I miss my old life back at the tree house but I especially miss Mum Mum's gone to rehab for her drug and alcohol use. I'm not sure when I will get to see her again.Marshall's POV"Glob, I'm late again! Miss Ice is surely going to freeze me this time, literally." I was on my bike going as fast as I can as I raced towards the school. "Great, another day at this hell hole" I murmured as I locked my bike up. But today there was something different about it. There was a new scent, someone new was here. A scent which smelled so greatly of violets. A scent that made me feel love struck? No! I looked towards the door and there was the most beautiful girl standing there. Had she dressed up for school? Her long blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail with a red ribbon. Bunny ears on top. Cute. I looked towards her outfit. Denim
Fiolee Fanfic Chapter Thirty-OneFionna's POVSo apparently Dad gave Marshall 'the talk'. A little disturbing. Okay, very disturbing. No wonder Marshall is very polite around him. I was very surprised to wake up in my own bed. Without Marshall watching me. I sat up concerned."Marshall?" I called hoping he would rush into the door. I waited a few seconds. No reply. I hurried out of bed and popped on my bunny slippers and dressing gown. I went down the stairs and saw Dad on the couch."Dad have you seen Marshall?" I tried to sound calm but he could see the urgency in my eyes."Yes, he was just walking out the door." He smiled but I wasn't. I sprinted out the door and down the street. I didn't even care that I was still in my pyjamas."MARSHALL!" I screamed as I ran. I was quickly running out of breath when I saw a dark haired boy wearing jeans. Marshall. I used up my energy to run in front of him. Perhaps he just hadn't heard me? I stopped in front of him. Thankfully it was Marshall. He didn't seem to recognise me thou
Dumb part 1"I love you, Isabella."The words came out his mouth faster than he could stop them. This was not at all what he planned. Phineas' face started growing redder than his hair and his eyes where the size of plates. God, why was he so stupid! And, to make things worse, Isabella was giving him them scariest look of all time. If would have been bad if she was confused. It would have been worse if she was disgusted. It would have atrocious if she was making fun of him. But, expressionless? Ultimate. TERROR."I-I'm sorry, I just, um, I just " Phineas feverishly racked his brain for some possible explanation of his outburst. He was sweating, now. He lost all feeling in his hands and apparently the ability to think before he acted. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Phineas cursed himself. "God! What is wrong with me? I mean, I even had this plan worked out for months! It was foolproof!!!!! It was gonna be casual, and then I was supposed to say, 'Isabella, do you like me?' and nownow ..GAH!
SUPER IMPORTANT PERCY JACKSON NEWS!!!HOLY MOTHER OF GODS UNCLE RICK ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS WRITING A NEW PERCY JACKSON SERIES!!!! OMG I THINK I JUST DIED :iconicantplz:An excerpt: And I will announce this here for the first time, right now I'm working on a new book of the Greek myths, told from Percy Jackson's point of view. My hope is to offer the original stories, but told in a modern perspective that appeals to our kids today. I decided to set aside the earlier anthologies, as much as I love them Hamilton, D'Aulaires, Evslin, Greene because the writing is a little dated. Instead, I've leapfrogged straight back to the primary sources. I'm using Ovid, Hesiod, Homer and many others, and trying to cast the entire scope of Greek mythology afresh. John Rocco, who does my covers, is illustrating, and we're hoping to create something that's going to be useful in your libraries and classrooms.Anyway, one of my goals is
In MemoryThe Flash stood in the fake greenery of the Watchtower. Three holographic statues surrounded him. Three dead heroes. There was one pillar at his feet, yet to be activated. It was for the first Kid Flash, and the only Wally West he ever wanted to know. The speedster pulled down his cowl, he couldn't turn on the platform as a hero, he had to do it as a loving family member.Batman ghosted into the room, effectively scaring the bejezus out of Barry. The big bat put a hand on his colleague's shoulder. "Turn it on, Barry."The blonde shook his head, "I can't. It just doesn't feel right.""How so?" Batman pondered."We've had death scares before. Artemis was just undercover. I was just stuck in the Speed Force. Clark was just in another dimension. How do we know he isn't dead?" Barry was about ready to pull his hair out."Barry, we saw him disappear before our eyes. He's gone," Batman tried

Bent continues to impress Houllier
Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier further acknowledged the impact of £24million signing Darren Bent after the crucial Barclays Premier League victory at Wigan.The England striker failed to replicate the goalscoring impression he made on debut in Saturday's uplifting win over Manchester City but the change in the side since his arrival last week has been marked.Villa were rewarded for a fine attacking display as they saw off a battling Wigan side to win 2-1 at the DW Stadium with goals from Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young.Houllier said: "Sometimes when you recruit a player it takes five or six games before he settles or scores a goal."Darren scored a vital goal against Manchester City and today I think he was very important in the offensive front."His movement is very good but when he doesn't score, it is good if the others score and today Gabby and Ashley did."

Always carry, Never tell.
I too, am a teacher who would at least like to have my weapon in the car, if not on my person. I am in VA, does anyone know the laws as far as having the weapon in the vehical during school hours? Can they really take away my right to have my weapon off school hours just because I can't have it at school? There is no close parking off campus.

some laws only allow guns outside of 1000 ft zone of a school. So in case of a need to protect yourself or eliminate a threat, you better be one hell of a sprinter
Well you can't carry in school and you can't pray in school. Next they will pass a regulation that you can't even bend over, put your head between your legs and kiss your a$$ goodbye when a killer enters the school.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Not possible as I know of it but begin your part by taking some intensive courses in tactical shooting, self-defense that includes gun retention. Also, consider starting a PAC to discuss non-lethals (tasers) or even something like a shotgun with beanbags. Consider how you'll store, access and deal with various scenarios. Don't wait for the system to come to you.
Also, if you accidentially kill someone's kid you may create a parent with nothing more to live for and you know what that means. So, it's a double-edged sword. Begin putting thousands of rounds down the line now.
Most states allow you to leave you unloaded, locked firearm in your vehicle while you conduct business at a school.
I am also a teacher, in Arizona. We used to have a loop-hole in the law which allowed teachers to carry if they had permission from the school adminstration.
My crazy ex- threatened to kill me, was arrested for domestic violence, and kept stalking me. I requested permission to carry on school grounds ONLY ON WEEKENDS when kids were not present. If anyone is in the building, the alarm has to be turned off. Since he knows where I work, I'm vulnerable. Often teachers do lots of work after hours.
My district superintendent said "absolutely not!" I got it in writing. If anything ever happens to me that school district will belong to my heirs.
I no loner stay in the building more than a few minutes more than I am required. If something doesn't get done, oh well. If the principal gets on my case, I just tell her that I don't feel safe.
So much for protecting the students and the teachers.
Small, but deadly.
Working is conducting business at school, but I don't think they see it that way.
Did they end it or is your super just that ignorant?
I wish you the best, I left the state when my ex threatened me, I was young and didn't know enough about guns to want to stay.
And it should!
Why would they want to protect the teachers, there is no shortage of us... right. Anyhow, I hope you do stay safe and I know what you are going through. I wish you the best. Is there any way you can work from home rather thatn having to go into the school? I know my district allows us access to the grade book and most other resources from home. It is a bit slower because we have dialup, but given the exposure you are open to...
My super is just super ignorant. They're afraid of liability. They think I'd accidentally shoot a student, or some student would steal the firearm from me.
As for work, I take home what I can, but bulletin boards, copies, organizing room, etc. all piles up. Someone complains about my desk being messy, I just repeat one of my favorite quotes: "If a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind, what is an empty desk a sign of?"
My best bet is to relocate to a more pro-gun environment. Just have to fight my crazy ex to move the kids out of state.
I refuse to be a victim, and I refuse to be bullied anymore.
Small, but deadly.
Unless you are a LEO, I don't think you be able to do it.
Out of curiosity, do you teach in the Valley of the smog or the old Pueblo?
Never Again!
Speak softly and carry a large caliber weapon.
I teach in Yuma. Home of the Criminals. (What a mascott!)
Small, but deadly.

Since then reggae's taken centre stage with my production work, and the Wrongtom Meets moniker has evolved into a project of it's own with albums like Duppy Writer, In East London and the forthcoming LP with Ragga Twins, not to mention over 50 remixes and a few one off tracks here & there (and of course the long lost Pama Intl Meets Wrongtom LP which will hopefully see the light of day before I'm a dead old man).
Preempting the 10 year celebrations, I'm starting a series of Spotify playlists, selecting some of the lesser known moments from my back catalogue, the 1st one of which is made up of remixes, b-sides and oddities featuring vocals and collabs with the likes of Roots Manuva, Gregory Isaacs, The Nextmen, Daddy Gadman, Marcia Griffiths to name but a few. Plus the set opens with my 1st ever reggae production, a remix of Jay Bharadia's "Snowy Day" made in '04 but not released til '07.
Here's the link, and keep 'em peeled for the next installment soon.
]]>I've spent the summer driving up and down the country and in and out of tents, making the most of festival season from the muddy fields of Glastonbury to the giant disco balls of Bestival.
Around that I've managed to fit in the best part of recording the forthcoming Wrongtom Meets Ragga Twins LP, plus a handful of remixes and singles including the new Rongorock single voiced by UK dancehall veteran Daddy Gadman which you can purchase here on 7″ or via iTunes, Amazon etc.
Big things are brewing at Wrong Towers this autumn with plenty in store for 2015 either on wax or on stage, so keep 'em peeled. Until then, here's both sides of the Daddy Gadman single for your listening pleasure…
]]>Out on Tru Thoughts today, the now plural Gangster Chronicles features the original LP, plus a handful of singles, b-sides and remixes including my own mix of British hip hop standard Money Mad, as well as The Nextmen's amazing Style remix from '96 and new stuff from Hint and The Beta Band's Steve Mason.
I owe a heavy debt to this record as far as my own music goes, and I'd go as far to say it's my version of Dark Side Of The Moon, or Nevermind or whatever your particular watershed musical moment may be. I'll refrain from any more heavy handed accolades but you should definitely go and grab yourself a copy, so head over to the Tru Thoughts site for further info.
And if you haven't yet heard it, here's my remix, also available on the digi only Money Mad single…
Regardless we had a great chat – Dave's an eloquent and insightful guy with decades of experience and the stories to show for it, and I'm glad we managed to touch on his lesser known acting career, even if the bit about his early roles in a couple of salubrious brit-sex-comedies didn't make the cut. There's no dirt here, they're no raunchier than your average Carry On film and he was happy to chat about them, I guess there was just too much info to edit into 3 bite-size video clips which you can now watch below…
]]>Speaking of downloads, Superteng's been riding up the Juno charts over the last week, topping the dub and drum & bass charts, and lingering around the breakbeat and dubstep top 10′s, even hitting number 9 on their overall sales chart for a brief moment which was nice. Anyway, if you still haven't grabbed your copy, here's the Juno link, or grab it direct from Tru Thoughts.
If you weren't aware, I was invited by Trojan years ago to do a dub mix of Harry J's Liquidator which since getting pressed on a limited 10″ has now been out of print for years so in honour of Harry J who sadly passed away last week, you can now grab an mp3 of my Liquid Rock Dub via the soundcloud link below, strictly limited of course so dawdle and don't get none…
Lastly I couldn't resist a Thatcher themed Skank Blog post so if you fancy a listen to a spiky dub rendition of Maggie's Farm or some early UK rap action with more than a nod to the iron lady then go here now.
]]>1st up, the 2nd single from In East London drops today. Superteng is our downbeat dancehall tribute to Prince Jammy, Dj Zinc and Muhammed Ali all at once. The digital only single comes complete with a bevvy of remixes including a Mo'Matic bouncing hip hop relick, Scoop, Alter Ego & Rico taking it to the club with some piano led dubstep and Benny Page's big room DnB reworking of Jump + Move + Rock, and for those who already have the LP there's the original instrumental and the extended version of the original which had to be cut down to fit on the album. Grab it direct from Tru Thoughts today!
The Superteng video's also almost in the bag but in the meantime, if you're still not familiar, here's Steve Lamacq playing it on his BBC6 show a few weeks back…
Also out today (i think, the label's a bit vague) is a remix I put together with the vocal assistance of Deemas when I was invited to take Mirrors into the dancehall. "Dip You (Wrongtom & Deemas J Do The Dip)" drops today on Loungin' Recordings and you can grab it on 12″ or digi. Have a listen to the track in full…
You're probably more than familiar with my General Levy remix by now but if not, Rodigan joined the party yesterday by dropping it on his BBC 1xtra show. Cop your copy of the 7″ before they sell out (again!) and have a listen below.
And finally, if you wanna listen to the Superteng & Incredible rhythms getting the version excursion treatment, here's a mix I put together for John Kennedy's Xfm show last week featuring Deemas J, Mark Professor (who's poised to release his debut 7″ on my Rongorock label soon), General Levy, Roots Manuva and Marcia Griffiths all on mic duties…
]]>For those not in the know, Incredible General started life as a dancehall track on The Wickeder General album from '92, morphing into a jungle relick as Wikkeda!! and then topping the charts as Incredible with M-Beat at the controls a couple of years later.
Flash forward to 2012 and Fashion soon furnished me with the original a capella and the results can be heard below. In the shops on 7″ on March 25th with an equally wicked rework of Cutty Ranks' As You See It by Daddy G's mate Mr Benn, til then though…
]]>Wrongtom Meets Deemas J "Supersharpteng"
Here is a tried and tested bootleg that Wrongtom has been rocking dancefloors with – Deemas J's "Superteng" a cappella reworked into DJ Zinc's classic "Super Sharp Shooter" – and he has now decided to share it as a free download. Spread the love!
An official single release of Wrongtom Meets Deemas J's original "Superteng" will follow soon.
The second single to be lifted from Wrongtom Meets Deemas J's critically acclaimed album 'In East London', which came out on Tru Thoughts in September, this official single release will feature "Superteng" (Orginal, Instrumental and A Cappella cuts) plus remixes including a floor destroying Benny Page rework of first single "Jump + Move + Rock".
More info on that soon! Meanwhile, enjoy rinsing "Super Sharp Teng".
A slice of the praise for 'In East London':
• "Essential listening" – 4 STARS – MOJO
• "See how the seeds were sown for everything from Dizzee to James Blake" – BBC MUSIC
• "Perfect" – 4 STARS – Q
• "The strongest modern reggae set to emerge from the UK for many years" – THE WIRE
• "Pushing socio-political concerns to the fore in one instance…setting the party alight
• in the next…compelling" – CLASH
• "Good album, we'll play more from that" – STEVE LAMACQ (BBC 6MUSIC)
• "Brilliant" – CERYS MATTHEWS (BBC 6MUSIC)
Spiky Dread's been doing really well with copies being snatched up across the globe and praise coming in from the likes of Optimo's JD Twitch and production legend Demus (yep, there's a lot of Demus's, or Demi out there) who made some of my favourite LP's including "Road To Freedom" by The Young Disciples. We even got a request for a copy for the British Library Sound Archive, which was pretty cool. If you still haven't picked it up, buy it from here, or have a listen below.
I'm also very excited to announce our next Rongorongo offering will be a re-release of a rare as hen's teeth jazz LP by saxophonist Ralph Thomas – recorded back in 1981, "Eastern Standard Time" is an intoxicating brew of deep and soulful jazz, standing shoulder to shoulder with freedom sounds luminaries such as Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Gary Bartz Ntu Troop and Sun Ra.
We'll also be including the even rarer Restless Natives single, which found the core quartet from the EST sessions delving into experimental jazz-punk and reggae territories. And if that's not enough, i'll be dubbing a track for good measure. I'll keep you posted with actual release info but expect it on vinyl, CD and digital, and until then, check out a couple of tracks here, and here.
Despite barely being 2 albums in, I've also found time to set up a sub-label strictly for my reggae/dub/dancehall productions. Rongorock will be launching in a couple of months with the debut 7″ from NW London soundsystem stalwart Mark Professor, taking us on a 3 minute lyrical journey armed only with his oyster card. Check him below going toe to toe with Deemas J live on stage in Brixton last month…
Speaking of Deemas, the next Wrongtom Meets Deemas J single is ready to drop on April 1st, some of you might be familiar with our LP track "Superteng" but we've got a nice package together featuring an extended mix, a couple of tough remixes from Scoop and Mo'matic, and a massive relick of "Jump + Move + Rock" by Benny Page. If you still don't have the In East London album, grab it here. And come and catch me and Deemas at the Tru Thoughts session at Koko in Camden on Feb 22nd.
I also have a stack of remixes ready to drop over the next few months for the likes of London Posse, General Levy, and Glasweigen Offbeat soundboy Mirrors. Head over to my LISTEN page to check them out along with a few others which were missing from the ever growing list.
and sleep.

Fantastic way to end our holiday in Hawaii, a week here was awesome. A pool right outside a beautifully kept apartment with all you could need. Picture perfect view of Pearl Harbour. For us the ability to drive to any part of the island from this location was ideal. Look forward to our next trip back one day!
