please don't be dead.
"It's approximately a hundred years from now... The aftermath of the Third World War. Countries all over the world are suffering an economic crisis which has led to a dramatic food and water shortage. The countries that do have enough resources are under martial law, food and water are not being divided equally, consequently civil war has broken out.
The country you are in, China, has fallen under a military regime that is trying to bring China back to order by joining the World Union (WU). Joining the WU offers China a chance to resolve it's financial problems, securing it's position internationally.
To accomplish this, the regime has began exporting large amounts of China's resources, trading with the WU for military supplies to support the oppression of the civilians. A large portion of the population disagrees with China joining the WU and with the export of China's resources. This has led to the formation of rebel groups who try to fight off the military regime.
The WU has classified all rebel cells as terrorist groups and has agreed to help China get rid of them in order to obtain the needed food and water resources. After a failed attempt to evacuate most civilians, which resulted in the slaughter of many Chinese soldiers, China sends in high-tech military equipment, supplied by the WU, to sweep the partially evacuated areas, killing those who stayed behind... "

Hey guys, Finished a character concept, thought I'd update you guys! I timelapsed the whole ordeal and posted it on Vimeo. I will update my blog soon, but in the mean time head over to my CGHub.
please don't be dead.
So is this still alive? Because it looks brilliant and I've been looking forward to it.
Theres an interview on Podcast17.com where they sey they update every 4-8 months. i would much rather that than a daily update of gun renders, lol.
.. just continue this project, please. (;
some of the devs, the leading devs that is, are working at Guerilla games if i am correct.
Guerilla games is responsible for Killzone, so they will have less time now to work on the project i guess.
Maybe they will remake it at Guerilla games and go commercial
(wich isnt bad seeing killzone).
source : Halflife2.net
They need to go commercial with this. Also they need to fix up those god damn KZ controls.
KZ is cool and all, but the execution is just not to the standard of what we've been seeing in LH.
Any news? Or should I make a terrible pun about having lost hope?
guys this simply looks amazing, wish you the best of luck, but why china ?
Not that is makes it any less cool, great idea, great concept artist too.
You should release webisodes or an anime in this fashion great intro :)
plz dont be dead...
You know those mods that are so good and popular that valve buys them and makes it a damn franchise? This should be one.

Planning for More Renewables? We Need to Plan for More Energy Storage, Too
You likely heard the biggest news in our industry last week—namely, that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new rules to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Under the proposed rules, states would have some choice in how they meet the proposed rules. But it seems certain that renewables will be a big [...]

Microgrids: Threat or Opportunity for Utilities?
Microgrids are not just mere hype.

Career day by Gates helps Chargers fend off foe
SAN DIEGO —— This time, the Chargers' defense didn't get scared when a rival said "Boo!"
"We have to just focus on finishing the game," defensive tackle Jamal Williams said.
The Chargers did that —— for a change —— and defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-20 on Sunday before 65,750 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The victory lifted the Chargers to 4-4 and completed the season's first half, which showed as much promise as it did disappointment. The bummers came via four fourth-quarter meltdowns by a defense unable to hold leads.
But it was the Chiefs holding their noses when it came to guarding tight end Antonio Gates. He tied a career high with three touchdown catches and set career highs in receptions (10) and yards (145).
"It's fun to watch him progress because it's obvious he's going places that he's never really been before," coach Marty Schottenheimer said.
The Chargers didn't want to imagine their destination if they lost to the Chiefs (4-3). So they built an early lead, then held on after the Chiefs mounted a second-half comeback.
Not squandering another fourth-quarter advantage was paramount to the Chargers. But when Lawrence Tynes kicked a 20-yard field goal to slice the Chargers' lead to 21-13 with 12 minutes to play, that little voice was going off in the players' heads: Here we go again.
"That's human nature," safety Bhawoh Jue said. "But you have to go against human nature"
The Chargers did, thanks to Gates' third touchdown catch. He corralled a Drew Brees pass with about nine minutes to play, shed safety Sammy Knight as if his first name were Gladys, and rumbled 35 yards for the score.
"Even if you double-team him, he can still make the plays," said Brees, who was 25-of-45 for 324 yards and three touchdowns, with an interception. "He is a definitely a playmaker. What can I say?"
The Chargers said a prayer the play before, when LaDainian Tomlinson (69 yards rushing on 17 carries) fumbled at the Kansas City 35-yard line. But before the Chiefs could pounce on a possible game-changing fumble, right tackle Shane Olivea recovered it.
On the next play, Brees and Gates completed a hat trick with their third touchdown connection.
"That was huge," Brees said of Olivea's recovery.
Gates' big game was the key to this day, which produced the Chargers' second win in four weeks. But Gates never gets a big head, and that was evident in the Chargers' locker room. Instead of boasting about bettering the Chiefs' six-time Pro Bowl tight end, Tony Gonzalez, Gates shrugged off his performance.
Beating the Chiefs, not Gonzalez, was his objective. And that the Chargers did it with a banged-up squad made it all the better.
"That was the No. 1 goal," said Gates, who has six touchdown catches, tying him with Keenan McCardell for the team lead. "Me having a big game was half of it. I was put in situations to make plays and I was able to do that. You need to credit everyone else around me who allow me to make plays."

Dependency Injection Container in less than 50 lines
Dependency Injection Container in less than 50 lines of code.
To define a component that desires other components, create a component factory.
var var ui = desire'ui' return console.log'application starts' uishow console.log'ui is visible'
Other components do the same:
var return console.log'display ui'
To run, create a container, register components, and desire.
var Desire = require'./.'var desire = desireregister app: App ui: UI var app = desire'app' apprun
You can manually inject dependencies too.
Because a component factory is just a function that desires other components,
we can create a

And Lois's death would definitely alter Superman forever. But I wonder if the writers would be that bold, and especially make it stick?
We all know that a major death won't stick. It's not how the comics work. Everything gets reincarnated/rebooted. We can probably count quickly the major characters in an ongoing series that have died and never come back to life and it will be less than 20.

Limerick is one of the major cities in Ireland. It has a rich cultural history with proximity to historic sites such as King John's Castle and Bunratty Castle and had ready access to a young and educated workforce drawing from the many third level institutes in the area including University of Limerick and Limerick Institute of Technology. Located in the southwest of Ireland is an ideal gateway location between Northern America and Europe and is located only 2 hours from the capital of Ireland, Dublin. This is why Gilt decided to locate it's International Customer Support and Shared Services Centre in Limerick, officially opening in October 2011 and continue to enjoy growth and development where it is located just beside the University and within the National Technology Park.
That and the fact that Limerick is widely considered "the home of the spirit of rugby"!

I get it. We're gamers and we're impatient, and this is how it's been done since the beginning. But how about the concept of not announcing the game years in advance of release, taking the time to finish it and iron out the bugs, and then release it with a few months notice.
I feel like modern MMO developers are really taking advantage of the fact that we'll buy whatever unfinished crap they deign to serve us. The above highlighted text is proof of that.

People saying the stress test being buggy is a sign that the game isn't near finished don't understand what a stress test is. The client even said something about expecting performance issues due to the nature of the test, but people are still going "OMG I had teh laggz and DCz!!!! Game r not dunn!!!". I read through the 8 pages of bug reports on the official forum, most of it was very simple fixes or stuff that wasn't bugged (since the bug report forum was the only one open, many people posted suggestions and random comments there as well).
The things that still need fixing are extremely minor compared to what was changed between BWE1 and BWE2, and they still have 2 more months to polish it. I've been beta testing software since about 1992, and in 20 years this is one of the more finished products I've seen.
Someone above: "In what other industry do we expect and accept problems with the finished product?"
Answer: Damn near every one. Have you ever heard of a recall in the auto industry? Why does my windows program need to update, can't they release a "finished" product? Billion dollar pharmeceuticals being recalled for killing people?
(I actually can't think of an example of an industry which never has problems with anything after release)
As long as there aren't any bugs making it unplayable or anything that can be majorly explioted by unethical players then it will be more finished than most games, but hey, we should hold out for a magical fairyland where everything is how we dream and nothing every goes even slightly wrong, right?

In the last BWE I thought the game looked pretty good IMO. If it was launched that day, it would have been one of the better launches I have seen.
What is going to be 100 guarantee is:
- Game will fail for some people
- Game will be the best MMO for some people
- Game will be so-so for some people.
All they care about is the percentages in each category.
The fact the game is BTP, will give them a lot more time post launch to sort out issues, people are incredibly patient if they aren't paying an active sub.

I really didnt have any problems with BWE 2's build besides the little kinks and minor balance issues. I myself am not worried because those are easy things to fix and they've been brought to arenanets attention through us, the testers. Anyway, GW2 RELEASE DATE !!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Hasn't been expressed outright, but some people's responses to worries or criticisms are starting to slant toward "Miracle Build". That is, you shouldn't complain now because when they release it will all be unicorns and rainbows. Already have the "not the most current build" excuse, just waiting on "well they still have debugging code running" to crop up.

You have to be joking. I really believe you have to be.
Your negativism was already debunked in a previous thread, but you put out the same arguements again, trying to spin the pending release date as a negative.
The game could launch next week and if the rest of the game were as well off as what we have seen so far in the BWEs, it would have already been well positioned to become the biggest MMO since WoW.
I've already played over 85 hours in the various events and if those 85 hours had been my first 85 hours of actual post launch game play, it would have been the best first 86 hours I'd have had with any MMORPG. WoW was the high water mark and there were a lot bigger issues with WoW at release than with GW2 in BWE2.
The only reason I'm not mad that we need to wait another two months is I realize that the rest of the game may still need some finishing up and I also know that Arenanet will make good use of that time to add even more polish and get the game fully optimized.
When an MMORPG needs more development time, I'm the first to clamor for it. Many titles since WoW's release would have greatly benefited from another 6 months or more of development time. GW2 is the first MMO in a long time where I've had to wonder if the developers weren't being a bit too focused on perfection before releasing the game.
I think the only people who need to be worried are people who were hoping to have until the end of the year before GW2 sucks the air out of most other MMORPGs in the market.

To each his own I guess. In the 4 hours yesterday I encountered one bug...which I reported (though in retrospect it was mostly a side effect of the stress test and not an actual bug...it was involving zoning between battlegrounds). The rest of the 4 hour play session was smooth as butter (FPS and lag wise) and I encountered no other issues or crashes.
I've played both weekends and both impromptu "stress tests". THe game has never crashed once for me (i was kicked out a few times but they weren't crashes). I encountered one "bugged" quest in the first event (the skill point mission in the first human zone) which was fixed by the next weekend event. Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't experienced anything in the way of bugs/instability.
Now I have my concerns about the game sure, especially the WvW. I hope they tweak the reward system a bit for WvW (at the very least provide autoloot). However in terms of stability/lack of bugs I have really no complaints. Again maybe I'm just lucky.

The wild card has always been the content that we haven't seen and were never going to see in a beta event until actual release. Obviously, Arenanet feels that content will be ready by the end of August and given how conservative they have been, it probably will be ready before that date.
That doesn't mean there won't be work to do after release, release always finds issues that won't be discovered outside of the live environment and balance and tweaking will go on for any MMO over the course of it's life span. However, the game is in no need of a miracle build.
To disparage "not the most current build" as excuse making is just plain silly. The BWE client has been lagging changes in the closed beta build since the start of the BWE process, not to mention the fact that the BWE client only includes a quarter of the game world and 1/8th of the Dungeons the game will ship with. Of course it's not the most current build, it's not even a complete build by three quarters!

even VG had a customizeable UI at release .. VANGUARD .. definitely disappointed in this, but otherwise it looks ready. and no one means mods .. or even macros (though basic chat macros I feel are very helpful) .. just the ability to have the UI arranged the way we want it arranged.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.

If you actualy believe this game is ready for release I feel sorry for you. This idea that just becuase a game is "stable" means that it is ready, is ridiculous. If that were the only standard then we should have quite a few great MMO's around. Aion for example was very stable at release, so was Rift. Heck SWTOR was stable at release as well. Yet all of them mere months after release found subs dwindling.
One would think that at some point people would learn, instead they continuously double down on release hype and willingly ignore flaws a game has with the notion that "it will be fixed after release."
The fact that you think GW2 is going to "suck the air out of most other MMORPG's in the market." says all anyone needs to know about your opinion.

I'm not saying those who want it are wrong...I just never get it. The UI has a map, it has the buttons for skills, it has my health, it shows the menus. It has what I need. What do I need to change? Maybe for the first 15-30 minutes I'm getting used to a new UI if I'm coming from another game...but after that it seems perfectly fine? Why would I need to customize it? Adapting didn't really seem to cause that much stress.

If you could perhaps illuminate the issues you see with the game with your opinion the game isn't ready the thread could have actual discussion on it. Perhaps the yet unseen zones, races, limited skills for professions, bosses?

Do we just want customization for the sake of it or is there actually something lacking? Yes maybe some would prefer the map in a different spot...but that only takes a few minutes to get used to (at least it only took me a few minutes). I just don't get why people care so much about customization? I'm not fighting against it, I just don't see why it is so important to people.

If the UI is broken or doesn't function, then hell yes, let the players fool around with it since the DEVS clearly haven't done so. However, if the UI works well and functions the way it should without getting in the way of anything, then leave it alone. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
FFXIV, that needed a new UI or customization. SWTOR needed UI customization. GW2, doesn't. There's nothing other than moving a map or scooting frames around that matters, and even those are seriously already non-intrusive.

Great for office and personal use!

I use them everywhere. Whether I have to get a signature to where I left off in a chapter book!
Super Useful! A must have!!!
By Ille0607
These flags are an absolute necessity for use in such things as your calendar, reports, catalogs, and about any other papers that cross your way. The bright colors are more useful than the primary colors when you need to write notes on them (I.e., the lighter shades). It would be helpful if you could purchase the bright pink ones by themselves since I always run out of that color first. Like so many other Post-It users I have come across, we use the bright pink color to signify top priority action items.
Love my Colorful Flags

I use the flags when I go to my groups and I have to find something quick. I have certain colors for certain things and it really helps me out. I don't have to worry about losing my spot and not being able to find something that is important to me. I love Post-It products. I can't wait to see what else you come up with. I would love to try Post-it Notes, 8 in x 8 in, Meal Planning Pad But I am not able to find them.

I loved the variety of colors of the flags. They really helped me as I returned to the classroom. For my final test there was so much to cover and using the flags made it easy to classify material in my book for easy reference. The flags stayed in place, but were still easy to re-position if needed.

I enjoy the fact that the tabs were in different colors, and I just used them to flag in my book. However, I went to a physicians office and seen them being used for credentialing.

The stickiness of the flags were pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was I couldn't really write on the flag, like if I needed to write a note. The ink wouldn't show up.

15-year-old arrested after fatal Camarillo stabbing
A 15-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday in the apparent gang-related killing of an 18-year-old man Monday in a Camarillo alley, authorities said.
The suspect, said to be a Camarillo gang rival of the victim's, was arrested about 3 p.m. Tuesday on suspicion of homicide, said Capt. Mike Aranda, Ventura County sheriff's spokesman.
The teenager, whose name was not being released because of his age, was interviewed Tuesday, Aranda said, adding that authorities were still looking for other suspects.
Juan Carlos Valadez of Camarillo was among several people walking down an alley behind a FedEx store in the 300 block of Arneill Road about 3:45 p.m. Monday when someone he knew confronted him, Aranda said.
The confrontation led to an argument and then a physical fight. Valadez ran and the person chased him, Aranda said. The person caught Valadez near Arneill, stabbed him and fled with at least two other males, Aranda said.
Paramedics treated Valadez but he died at the scene, Aranda said.
He died from a stab wound to the chest, Senior Deputy Medical Examiner Shasta Gainer said Tuesday after an autopsy.
The area around the crime scene was cordoned off, and southbound lanes of Arneill were closed for more than six hours while deputies scoured the neighborhood for suspects with help from a helicopter and police dogs. Search warrants were served during the investigation, officials said.
Authorities on Monday detained two teenage "persons of interest" during probation searches in the area, Aranda said. The teens were interviewed and arrested on charges unrelated to the homicide. Their names were not released because they are juveniles, and Aranda said he did not know details of the charges.
Authorities Tuesday were trying to learn what role the arrested 15-year-old played in the killing, Aranda said.
Investigators suspect Valadez and his killers were affiliated with rival Camarillo gangs, Aranda added.
The alley is between the FedEx store and Camarillo Bridal, across the street from a medical clinic and a church. On Tuesday morning, people who knew Valadez were visiting a makeshift memorial there.
The memorial had a framed picture of the victim in a suit, bouquets of flowers, a rosary and more than a dozen prayer candles, some with images of the Virgin of Guadalupe. On one candle, someone had printed: "R.I.P. Juan Carlos Valadez. Gone but never forgotten."
"It's just so hard to believe," said Valadez's cousin, Guadalupe Rios, who brought flowers to the memorial with two other grieving women. "He honestly didn't deserve this."
Rios described her cousin as a jokester who liked to be the center of attention. A good brother to two younger siblings, Valadez would pick them up from school and cook for them when they were hungry. Tears rolled down Rios' cheeks as she discussed her cousin.
Valadez also was looking for a job to help support his single mother, she said.
"He had been applying everywhere to help his mom out," she said.
On the day he was killed, Valadez told his mother he was going to drop off job applications at a Wendy's restaurant and a 99¢ Only store, said Maria Zavala of Camarillo. Zavala, 47, is a longtime acquaintance of the victim's mother who stopped by to pay her respects Monday, she said.
At Frontier High School in Camarillo, which Valadez attended for about a semester last year, several students who live near where he was killed were shaken, said Principal Wayne Lamas. A counselor and a psychologist were available for them.
Valadez transferred to Frontier from Camarillo High School, Lamas said. He added he could not discuss the reasons for the transfer or where Valadez went after leaving Frontier, a continuation school located at the Camarillo Airport.
In August, Valadez pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of resisting an officer and exhibiting a deadly weapon, court records show.
Monday's killing was the first homicide in Camarillo since Jan. 27, when a 23-year-old Oxnard man was found shot to death between two agricultural fields. A suspect was arrested.
Activists from the National Police Clergy Council's Peacemaker program planned to hand out fliers promoting peace around the homicide scene to reduce fears, tensions and the possibility of retaliation, said the Rev. Edgar Mohorko, who leads the council and the intervention program.
"Every city needs to work on gang prevention and gang intervention because no city is immune," he said.

The cover was installed over the stock seat to give the foam a firmer feel. The cut was not generous but did fit with moderate stretching. The color has faded a bit with time.

Skip to main content
I have been seeing this "perfect" guy for the past month or so. We are incredibly compatible, it's unreal. Recently though we had sex, prior to doing so we had some explicit conversations and I thought everything was, well...just talking about being with him was a real turn on. Naturally I was extremely comfortable talking about sex with him because he makes me feel extremely comfortable. Anyways, we had sex a few times and for some reason I don't feel at all compatible with him in the bedroom. Is this even possible?! It just seems as if it doesn't go over smoothly at all, something ALWAYS goes wrong! Should I give up or work at it--since he is so amazing in every other category! The issue has nothing to do with his size or performance, because he is great in those areas. It's just frustrating because there is always a bump in the road, and I've never been in a situation like this.
I used to be able to have anal sex with my boyfriend. We're in college, we've been together for over three years and have been having anal for the entire time. I never enjoyed it at all, it always also hurt but I let him do it because he liked it. Ever since last summer, I haven't been able to allow him to do it. It just hurts so much more than it used to! I've always been really sensitive, but usually if he was gentle it would be okay. It's not anymore. Even though we use a lot of lube (we don't use condoms, I'm on birth control) it just burns from the second he puts it in. (I don't think it's the lube because it doesn't bother me otherwise.) It feels like it's sore in there, that it's ripping or tearing something.
He's really upset because he wants anal. He says he feels cheated because he used to get it and now I won't let him. He understands that it hurts, but doesn't get why it's so bad all of a sudden. I don't get it either! The only explanation I have is that I don't get to see him as often now (I'm at college so sometimes it's only once a month) so maybe it just gets all tight in there. I've noticed this with regular sex too, but to a much lesser degree and it's still okay for me. So I feel like that might not be it. I don't know if my butt is sick somehow but it's been going on for such a long time there must be something going on! What could this be? It really upsets him, and it kind of bothers me, too. I don't get why it hurts so bad all of a sudden! Is something wrong up there? What can I do?
I was just wondering...can a girl have sex if she has undergone genital mutilation? Because I know a girl who has, and she said it was a TYPE 1 circumcision and that she couldn't have sex EVER. Also, is there any way she will ever be able to reverse the mutilation? What limitations will she face, compared to a person who hasn't been mutilated? Thanks a lot for your answer!
I'm a 32 year old woman being driven up the wall by my fiance always telling me he can tell I'm playing with my toys when he's at work because I'm loose that day. I swear to him up and down that I haven't and even tell him the last time that I have done something like that. But he doesn't want to hear it. He always says I'm lying about it all. Why somedays is my vagina tighter than another day? Is there a position during sex that would make my vagina tighter? I already do those "pee exercises." Please HELP!!! I'm sick of being accused of something I'm not even doing.
I have a question...so I was reading some of the questions that you answered and I noticed a strange feeling. The more I read of your site the more I am repelled by the idea of sex. I find that I start to lose trust in the people around me and question the things that they might do. I wonder just how normal they are, or if they are freaks who do sexual things with anyone or if they are gay or have some hidden agenda. The more I read about fourteen and fifteen year old girls having sex or doing sexual things the more I want to leave my house and hike out to the wilderness to live among the trees and rocks who live beyond the debilitation of civilization. I feel so alone, like I am the only one left who cares and that I am being pulled down with the rest of the world. Am I weird? Is there something unnatural or wrong with me for hating this all so much? Am I a bad person? Please be honest, I really want to know.
I want to know what the government considers sex. When they say age of consent what kind of sex are they talking about?
Im 13 and a vigin and my boyfriend is 13 and not a vigin, and we're 100% ready 2 have sex, but the problem is that hes in south carolina and im in minnsota. Wen I lived in sc he went 2 my skool and we never talked. But there was a girl that would always say bad stuff about him, like hes slept wit every girl in the skool and hes such a bad guy, blah blah blah. so 1 day i messaged him on myspace and i gave him my number 2 txt me. i wanted 2 hear his side of the story. we got 2 no each other and we fell in love. im just worried that hes not done with his cheating ways, n that after we have sex hes gunna leave me. 1 of his ex's says that hes telling her that he doesnt love me and that he wuld cheat on me, but it depends on who. and that hes jus using me. idk wat 2 believe anymore!! i love him with all my heart and we believe were soulmates!!! ive never felt like this b4. and he says the same thing. my question is: how do ik he is gunna change and not leave me? and how do ik hes not jus tellin me wat i wanna hear? he says that im gunna b perfect in bed, but im jus so worried that im not gunna b as gudas he hopes. how do ik i'll b good? i really need 2 no!! im desperatly confused and dk wt 2 do!!!! my mom says he means wat he says 2me and that she's been threw sumthin like this. my heart says to stay with him and my gut says that stay with him but yor gunna get hurt. i jus dk. i really need help!! Thanks Heather!!!
I have doubts: I am a 14 year old guy, I'm from Argentina now living in Florida and I have always pictured myself with girls in romantic relationships, and I still do. But now I enjoy watching gay pornography. When I picture a two-man relationship it disgusts me, but yet I prefer gay porn. About girls, I only feel sexually attracted to some but I do only picture myself with a girlfriend in a serious relationship. Whats going on!? I need help!
I'm a 20 year old girl, who's...well, I'm not going to say perfectly confident, because I do have some fairly major esteem issues, but I know my own mind, I'm independent & I'm not one to go with the crowd just because it's the "done" thing.
Three years ago a guy I was making out with on a regular basis, assaulted me sexually. While I escaped without being raped, it was a terrifying & traumatic experience. Needless to say it was a difficult time. I was a virgin when the assault happened, & because of this incident I was left wary of men, sex & romantic interactions in general. During the years since, a few of my good friends have expressed feelings for me, but given that I was not in the right state of mind to deal with any serious romantic situations, the fact that these guys were looking for the types of relationships that I'm not comfortable with, & also that I was afraid of ruining our friendships, I turned them down, explaining my reasons & repeatedly expressing how important their friendships were to me. All of these guys are still my close friends, & all have had relationships/flings with other girls since asking me out. I'm having a problem with them, though.
I'm 20. I had sex with a not-quite-boyfriend, okay, ex-boyfriend who I broke up with but still have feelings for. He decided that it would be fun to try some light bondage. It took me by surprise, but I usually do like that sort of thing. But at certain points...I felt really scared, and at others, I felt pleasure. However, the overall experience was negative, and I found myself wanting to stop--but I couldn't say no. I started to cry and he untied me. I wanted to slow down and just kiss, he wanted to finish. So I let him come on me, but I really didn't want him to. I felt really violated. Afterward he tried to cuddle with me, but I wouldn't let him. He tried talking to me a little bit about it, and said that I could have said no and that would have been better than crying--but the thing was I couldn't say no. What happened?

St. Regis News
St. Regis Hotels & Resorts Champions Polo in Brazil With St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras & Prince Harry
New York, New York – February 1, 2012 – Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) announces today that the St. Regis brand will
expand its partnership with Sentebale, by joining the charitable polo match
played in Brazil for the first time this March. The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo
Cup aims to raise support for the improved healthcare and education of the
children of Lesotho, and will have HRH Prince Harry, playing for the Sentebale
team, against St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras, who will captain the St.
Regis team.
"As our global portfolio grows, so does the global nature of our guests. Particularly a new generation of affluent Brazilians, who are increasingly staying with the St. Regis brand around the world, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to host an exciting day of polo on their own turf, with Sentebale," says Paul James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. "With the World Cup and the Olympics on the horizon, this is an electric time to be in Brazil and we are looking forward to an exhilarating polo match, which is sure to raise awareness and funds for Prince Harry's charity."
In 2010 Prince Harry attended an "Evening to Honor Sentebale" at The St. Regis New York, celebrating the St. Regis brand's and the charity's connection with New York City and polo. This March will mark the third Sentebale Polo Cup and the continuation of the charity's relationship with the St. Regis brand. Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho launched the event in Barbados in 2010 to raise awareness and funds for, Sentebale – the charity they founded to continue the legacy of their late mothers' charitable work with children.
"We are delighted to be holding our annual polo event in Brazil this year, and are very pleased to be working once again with such prestigious brands to deliver the event," says Philip Green, Chairman, Sentebale Board of Trustees. "We look forward to a very successful event so that we can continue to improve the lives of the disadvantaged children of Lesotho."
"Prince Harry's charity Sentebale is close to my heart, and I am delighted to be captaining the St. Regis team in this year's match," says St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras. "As an ambassador for Sentebale and St. Regis, I am looking forward to playing polo against Prince Harry in Brazil to help raise funds or this very worthy cause."
St. Regis has long been associated with the world of polo, beginning at the turn of the last century when polo matches on Manhattan's Governors Island were the highlight of the New York social calendar and where St. Regis' founding family, the Astors, were a prominent fixture. As St. Regis continues to grow globally, the brand expands its polo presence in nearly as many destinations: hosting spirited polo matches and marquee events in the United Kingdom, the United States, Bangkok, Singapore, Buenos Aires and now Brazil.

About Sentebale:

The charity was founded by Prince Harry from the British Royal family and Prince Seeiso from the Lesotho Royal family. Lesotho is a unique and beautiful country, but with extreme poverty and the third highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world, it is a country in desperate need of help. With an estimated 400,000 orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho, Sentebale works with grass roots organizations to identify, support and empower these children. Sentebale's name means "forget me not," and is a reminder of all the children who need help in Lesotho.

text: My first pregnancy was all about mini dresses and skirts, but the second go-around — not so much. Aside from the fact that I still carried around five pounds of previous baby weight, as the rest of it packed on, I was constantly on the move. There was no time to style my hair or pair shoes with purses. Short apparel doesn't work when you are hoisting a 2-and-a-half-year-old up onto a play structure or sweeping her off her feet. Dry clean-only outfits weren't options anymore — unless I wanted them permanently marked with Cheerio crumbs or sticky hand prints. Pregnancy fashion is similar to everything else in motherhood, you learn as you go. I had to laugh when I caught this Cool Mom clip. Did you dress differently for subsequent pregnancies?

We would like to share with you the story of Mohammad, a male student in one of AIL's centers.
"My name is Mohammad and I have been a student of AIL's English course for a long time. I was studying English before I can to the center, but I had problems in my previous school. The teacher did not pay attention to each student because the class had nearly 50 students in it. That made me very nervous, and one day my friend told me to join AIL's English course because the teachers were very talented, and they use new methods during teaching. After I joined this course, my problems have decreased and I am so happy and thankful for my teacher who has helped me. I wish my teacher success in the future."

Brazil Becomes One Of The First To Adopt Internet 'Bill Of Rights'
Brazilian President Dilma Rouseff signed into law a kind of Internet bill of rights on Wednesday.
As the AP reports, the law enshrines access to the Web, guarantees neutrality and "puts limits on the metadata that can be collected from Internet users in Brazil. It also makes Internet service providers not liable for content published by their users and requires them to comply with court orders to remove offensive material."
Rouseff signed the law just before she delivered remarks at the NETmundial gathering, which is focusing on the future governance of the Internet.
The AP adds:
"Brazil has cast itself as a defender of Internet freedom following revelations last year that Rousseff was the object of surveillance by the United States' National Security Agency. She cancelled a state visit to the U.S. last October over the revelations, which came out of leaks by former NSA analyst Edward Snowden and showed Brazil's state-run Petrobras was also the object of American spying.
"Rousseff had championed a measure requiring Internet companies to store the data of Brazilian users inside the country, as a way of protecting citizens from further U.S. spying, but clause was cut from the final bill amid fears it would prove too challenging to implement.
"Rousseff signed the bill into law early Wednesday ahead of her opening remarks at the NETmundial conference in Sao Paulo. Representatives from dozens of countries were in attendance, as were top Internet figures including a Google vice president and the head of the U.S.-based organization that coordinates the Internet naming system."
If you remember, the United States announced it was relinquishing its remaining control of the Internet back in March.
It asked the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to gather the stake holders and "craft an appropriate transition plan."
That transition is expected to happen within 18 months. This conference is a first step.
Bloomberg reports that the bill signed by Rouseff — called Marco Civil — "will be a model for the conference, not just for its content, but also for the way in which it was composed."
Bloomberg adds:
"The bill's authors received contributions from hundreds of individuals and organizations since it was first proposed in 2009.
"'Brazil will try to show off the Marco Civil effort and say, "This is what we did internally, it actually works, and we would like it to be considered globally,"' said Ronaldo Lemos, director of the Center for Technology and Society at the Fundacao Getulio Vargas School of Law in Rio de Janeiro."

Few songwriters have had a career as long and successful as Brian Wilson. Since the early '60s, Wilson has penned some of the most iconic and influential American pop music of the past century. Although his life is marked by tragedy and trauma, his legacy runs deep in popular culture. With the upcoming release of Love And Mercy, a biopic starring Paul Dano and John Cusack as Wilson at different points in his life, and the recent release of his 11th solo album No Pier Pressure, it feels like a good time to look back at his 50-plus year career and celebrate some of his best work. From massive hits to obscure, experimental pop compositions, Wilson's music is always thoughtful, idiosyncratic, and as thrilling today as it was in the '60s.

Lilly Hiatt released Royal Blue, to the surprise of fans of her singer-songwriter styled debut from a couple years ago. For those who have seen her live with her band, though, Royal Blue comes closer to catching Hiatt's quirky, reflective, and trippy personality. Royal Blue moves forward, demonstrating her growth as an artist in her own right, finding her path, and doing so her way. With an honest, open discussion of the self-doubt necessary to create art and some songwriters who are catching her ear, Hiatt shares who she is in this conversation with Country Fried Rock.
Primrose Green is one hell of an insular folk album. It's a disc less focused on satisfying the writer's ego or existing purely on the basis of heartfelt confessionals as so many modern "folk" albums are; instead, it focuses on establishing its own universe, one where psychedelic textures mix in with delicately finger-picked guitars, creating something sonically unique but also entirely self-contained. Primrose Green is a universe unto itself, and it's for that reason that so many people are talking about its creator, Ryley Walker.
Klinger: Make no mistake, popular music in the 20th century was split nearly down the middle with the advent of rock and roll. And the result was something like a street brawl, fought out in the newspaper columns and nightclub stages and dining room tables of America. The old guard took every opportunity to take potshots at this new, sexually/morally/ethnically ambiguous form, while the youngsters bobbed and weaved their way through the whole skirmish, confident that they'd at least end up winning the war of attrition. That's the official story at least, and it's not without its truths. But too many people, musician and critic alike, took the whole thing a little too literally, and as a result the age of rock criticism hasn't done much more than pay lip service to the music that came before the Great Divide.
I'm at a Volbeat show, hanging back behind the mixing board, leaning on the rail, absorbing the garish spectacle of the Danish band's new cowboy-themed stage show. Out of my line of sight, a big, sweaty arm suddenly slides around my shoulder, and I'm subjected to a gigantic hug by a gleefully tipsy man who's quite a bit bigger than me. I'm not the most overtly social fellow most of the time, but invade my space, and I get snippy—inwardly snippy, anyway, as we introverts usually are. I just reply back with a polite smile and feigned laugh, though I'm staring daggers at the guy.

There are many opinions about who first said: "It's hard to make predictions—especially about the future." As far as I can tell, it may have been the Danish writer Robert Storm Petersen (and not Yogi Berra). In any case, predictions are indeed notoriously difficult to make, even when they concern the near future. Yet, it is instructive to examine what our current best guess is, as to the universe's very far future (based on existing observations and cosmological theories).
First, there is essentially no doubt that in about 5 billion years our Sun will die, swelling up a few hundred fold, and in the process, extinguishing all life on Earth. Probably even before that, about 4 billion years from now, our Milky Way galaxy will collide and merge with the Andromeda galaxy. The solar system will most probably be thrust away from its current location (even though individual stars will not collide), and find itself at a new spot in a coalesced elliptical galaxy. Other groups of galaxies that are gravitationally bound will also merge to form single giant galaxies.
What about the universe at large? The evidence points to a cosmic expansion that will be perpetually accelerating. While they are not entirely conclusive, observations suggest that the dark energy that is currently propelling the expansion of the universe to speed up will continue to do so. If, as existing observations indicate, dark energy is indeed the energy associated with the physical vacuum, then neither the stars nor the giant galaxies themselves will expand. However, the space between those galaxies will increasingly stretch.
Cosmic repulsion will overwhelm the ever-weakening strength of gravitational attraction, and will disperse the galaxies until none will be left within view of each other. In addition, all the galaxies will become intrinsically dimmer and dimmer, as they will run out of hydrogen gas—the fuel for forming new bright stars. As the population of stars ages, it will consist either of the dead corpses of previous generations—dim objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars and black holes—or of slowly evolving, faint, low-mass stars. For an observer (if one would exist) in a given galaxy, the sky would grow increasingly darker. In fact, observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and with ground-based telescopes tell us that the universe is already declining in terms of its global rate of forming new stars (Figure 1). Even black holes, those extremely compact objects, some formed through the collapse of very massive stars, others via the accretion of matter at the centers of galaxies, will not enjoy eternal life. Through a quantum process known as Hawking radiation, black holes are expected to lose energy and evaporate. This will not happen any time soon. A black hole formed via the collapse of a massive star may live for some 1066 years before evaporating. But remember, if there is one thing that an ever-accelerating universe has in abundance, it is time.
Although the seventh film in the James Bond series was called Diamonds are Forever, strictly speaking, this title is incorrect. According to present particle physics theories, protons, and therefore atoms, should decay. This again is not an imminent danger. Experiments put the lifetime of protons at longer than some 1034 years, but in an accelerating universe decay would eventually happen.
So it appears that our universe will end its life, after all, not with a bang but a whimper. Following black hole evaporation and proton decay, all that would be left is radiation, and pairs of electrons and positrons (the latter would eventually annihilate into radiation, too). For those searching for a "point" or a "purpose" for the universe's existence, this may sound disappointing, but it shouldn't. There is no reason for the universe itself to suggest a purpose for its existence to us. Just as humans and stars die, so can the universe. Everyone should search for a purpose in her or his own life. And by the way, in my opinion, attempting to understand the workings of the cosmos and predicting its future is a pretty worthy purpose.

In the intergalactic scale, it proves that the hominoid is just a tiny spot of dirt in the humongous universe which we always fail to understand completely. It is interesting to see that all of us are made out of the same cosmic dust. And more interesting to witness the cosmic dance of death, how I wish.

like you said time is infinite ..so everything will have to happen again ,
another bigbang at some time in future and then life forming in an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some corner and then civilizations ..they will have to figure it out all by themselves ..random citizen of random country sitting under an apple tree
Thank you Mario. I find this forecast rather challenging and inviting, though the scale of time highly exceeds my comprehension. Too many deeds, thoughts and emotions yet to be, at human race scale, to go for in the meantime.
