The special court that convicted the four accused in December 16 Delhi gangrape case has reserved its order on the quantum of punishment for Friday.
Delhi gangrape: All accused held guilty of rape, murder
In the course of arguments spread over nearly three hours on Wednesday, the prosecutor demanded the death penalty in order to assuage "society's conscience", while the counsel for defence sought mercy on grounds of the young age and extreme poverty of the convicts.
Delhi gangrape: Sequence of events
"Society today feels that no woman in this country is safe... Now it is up to the court to decide and change this," special prosecutor Dayan Krishnan said in conclusion to his arguments.
Delhi gangrape: Victim's family demands death for all four accused
Advocate V K Anand, counsel for Mukesh Singh, the younger brother of alleged ringleader Ram Singh who was found dead in his Tihar cell in March, invoked the tragedy of the men's mother.
Delhi gangrape:Juvenile held guilty of rape and murder, sentenced to 3 years
"Main iski ma ki taraf se aapse daya ki bheekh mangta hoon," Anand said. "His mother has already lost a son. Like the victim's mother, she too is asking for justice." Besides, Anand argued, "Mukesh was driving the bus, how could he know what was happening?"
The defence lawyers submitted that all the accused could not be held equally liable. "Death penalty must relate to the criminal and not to the crime," argued Vivek Sharma, counsel for Pawan Gupta.
The four men Mukesh, Pawan, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur were seated in the last row behind a protective wall of policemen, and rose to their feet several times as the arguments progressed. Their families were not present in the court. The parents of the victim were present, and reacted visibly to the arguments being made in a mix of Hindi and English.

Source: The Bleacher ReportJonathan Snowden of The Bleacher Report has an interview with Paul Heyman. Here are a couple of highlights:
WCW releasing The Undertaker, where he wrestled as "Mean" Mark Callous:
"What happened in WCW is the same thing that happened there with a variety of talent. WCW was far too concerned with existing star power and investing in those that already had equity in their names. They had no vision of brand or talent development.
"The key to WWE's success and longevity is that they are, as modern and as relevant as the company may be in modern social media and platforms and contemporary distribution, the company is still built around old-school promotion. Who are these two fighters? Why are they wrestling? And why should I pay to see it? In order to answer those three questions you have to build up the talent. And you can't just build up talent that has equity in their names. You have to make new stars. And that's the mantra that has always worked best in any period that you could call the glory days."
How Undertaker evolved and lasted in WWE:
"I don't think it was as much the character as it was the man behind the character. I think The Undertaker is, much like Brock Lesnar, a once-in-a-lifetime wrestler, a once-in-a-lifetime athlete and a once-in-a-lifetime performer. You can't just put somebody in that slot. You need someone who can own up to the role and someone who makes the role theirs, who walks in the skin of the character. When that gels, when the athlete and the performer come together, then you have someone who is truly box office. This is not something that someone else could have accomplished. You couldn't have given that name and that character to anybody else - they would have never survived."
Heyman also discussed Lesnar ending the streak, what ending the streak means and more. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.

Daily Deviations: How to SuggestI constantly find that many deviants, new and otherwise, simply do not know how to suggest a Daily Deviation.Daily Deviations: How to Suggest7 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Just to make sure we are all on the same page here:
Info to Know
The only rule applied to Daily Deviations is that a deviant may not receive more than one Daily Deviation within a period of three months.
All deviants, regardless of popularity, are eligible to receive Daily Deviations.
Popular deviants are still deviants and will not be disqualified on the mere charge of being popular from receiving a Daily Deviation.
Any deviation may possibly receive a Daily Deviation.
This is regardless of the amount of views or favorites it has garnered.
You are ALLOWED to suggest YOURSELF. Just don't abuse this.
The following are not rules on how to suggest Daily Deviations but rather guidelines that help staff capable to select Daily Deviations better and more quickly process suggestions.

Pokefarm Rant*Note - Last updated: June 27th, 2013*Pokefarm Rant4 years ago in Personal More Like This
Remember in like December 2010 I got everyone to make a Pokéfarm account and we were all obsessed with it for a few months? Well since then I learned a lot about Pokéfarm, and there are so many things I just don't understand.
Pokéfarm was made by some greedy jerk called Kolink who clearly cares nothing about his users and only wants their money. Just look at all the things you could buy on that site, in the appropriately named shop section on the site, the Black Market. He's literally selling sprites that he doesn't even own, for the most part. In fact, it is a very tedious task to obtain every event Pokémon without paying money.
Kolink started Pokéfarm in the first place because he was angry at the regulations of the ORIGINAL SITE that HE STOLE THE IDEA FROM, Global PokédeX Plus. He's trying all he can to shut down GPX, and constantly tries to make bots to hack GPX with, which, by the way, he prohibits d
Things I wish Comics Would Stop Doing Part 3Digital Motion BlurringThings I wish Comics Would Stop Doing Part 31 year ago in Personal More Like This
Part 3 is up. Just to be completely transparent here, I've done the digital motion blurring effect on a couple occasions too, though I didn't enjoy the results. It is a rather lazy way to convey motion, and if you have ink outlines I think it looks even worse. As Scott McCloud says, there are a lot of ways to convey motion. I just don't particularly enjoy this variation, especially in how it's used in modern mainstream Amerian comics.
Exceptions to the rule might be if the comic had colored outlines, or even no outlines at all. I think that might be a better use of the blurring effect, but even still it feels unnecessary. I dunno, what do you guys think?
Flexible, realistic scales for dollsI've run into a design dilemma. I am trying to find a solution to scales on a posable doll.Flexible, realistic scales for dolls2 years ago in Personal More Like This
this was the original concept sketch. In the end, I decided to change the facial structure, but plan on keeping the body fairly similar.
Here's what Epsilon looks like now. I want to carry the scale design over into the belly scales, and possibly a few accents. The issue is how to go about doing such. We've had a few ideas rolled around, and have only ruled out methods. Seeing as this doll will be around 3 and 1/2 feet long, cost is a concern.
~ Scales need to be flexible, so to avoid interfering overly much with the movement of the doll.
~ Scales need to be 3-D, able to take texture and customized details, and in the end apply a sealant to achieve a scaley, shiny look.
~ Scales need to be able to be sewn onto the fur fabric
~ Scales need to be custom done in varying sizes, and quite a few of them. castings won't work here.

You've probably already read some of this week's wonderful journals on audience and beginning a story, and you're also probably wondering what exciting topic I've brought for you today. I suppose I'll tell you instead of keeping you in the dark.
Passive Voice vs Active Voice
I can see you're all excited.
To begin this article, I'll start by defining exactly what passive and active voice are.
Active Voice
With active voice, the agent (the person or thing carrying out the action) is the subject:
Harry ate six shrimp at dinner.
John opened the door.
Sue changed the flat tire.
Passive Voice
There are two different types of passive voice constructions. In

The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneySaw The Hobbit last night. It was very good... if a bit long. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for seeing all the little details interconnecting The Hobbit to Lord of the Rings and all that, but for the average watcher... eh... it kinda dragged. I overheard several people saying they fell asleep during the film, and I noticed more than once a number of people fidgeting and looking at their watches. Still, it's a damn fine movie and It's a shame we have to wait so long for the next two films.The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Having The Hobbit being written during the beginning of Lord of the Rings is pretty smart. You could effectively watch the 3 Hobbit movies and then immediately move right into the 3 Lord of the Rings movies. Kudos to Jackson for that, it'll be great to marathon run the two trilogies back to back.
This movie was, like the book, much lighter and funnier than The Lord of the Rings and I was surprised at how much from the books they actually kept. They
No Women in eSports, and A Talk About SJWWomen segregated in eSports to "legitimize" the sportsNo Women in eSports, and A Talk About SJW1 year ago in Personal More Like This
I personally think that eSports is kinda a silly idea. The idea that video game competitions should be treated with the same respect as the Olympics is just... head scratching to me. But just because I personally don't "get it" doesn't mean I can't support others who DO actually want to legitimize their hobbies or activities into being real things they can compete in.
However... if your way of "legitimizing" your eSport is to SEGREGATE WOMEN... you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot. Earlier this week the International e-Sports Federation announced that it was going to separate it's competitions into "male only" and "female only" groups... an act defended by the IEF as being (and I quote) "part of our effort to promote e-Sports as a legitimate sports"

Hey everyone, just wanted to say sorry for starting up more Other M drama. It still fascinates me how just mentioning the name of the game causes so many people to get so angry. I guess I thought maybe the hatred for it had died down, but I was wrong. So sorry to any of my fans who might've been caught up in any frustrating debates or flame wars as a result. That's my bad, I'll try to not let it happen again

A regional war may well be approaching. The actions and statements of Iran and its Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian proxies over the past week or so indicate that this is what Israel's enemies are gunning for.In preparing for this growing threat, Israel's leaders need to consider more than just the military challenges it faces. They must consider the political actors at home and abroad that limit the IDF's ability to fight to victory and develop strategies for neutralizing those actors.The latest developments are menacing. Last Saturday, Iran's unelected president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened to open up a new round of hostilities on February 11. Then Wednesday, Iran launched a new missile into space. Israeli and US missile experts claim that the missile launch signals that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and building the capacity to launch nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles.Following the missile launch, Syria's president and foreign minister issued incendiary comments threatening Israel with war. Notably, they did so the same day the US informed Syria of its intention to send an ambassador to Damascus for the first time in five years.Hamas, for its part, sent barrels of explosives drifting to the Israeli coastline – exposing new ways it can kill us. And Fatah, for its part, decided to kiss Hamas's ring this week. Senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath's obsequious visit to Gaza Wednesday was a graphic demonstration of Hamas's preeminence in Palestinian society.Then there is Hizbullah. In a speech on January 15, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah pledged that the next war will "change the face of the region."This may not be an exaggeration. It isn't simply that under the blind eye of UN peacekeepers Hizbullah has replenished and expanded its arsenal to include long-range missiles. It isn't simply that in the three and half years since the war Hizbullah has taken control over the Lebanese government. Hizbullah has also built up a formidable ground force. In the event of war, these forces may be deployed as an expeditionary force inside northern Israel.And if the precedent of former MK Azmi Bishara – who fled Israel after learning that he was about to be indicted for serving as a Hizbullah agent in the 2006 war – is any indication of Hizbullah's modus operandi, Israel may also face Israeli Arab fifth columnists assisting Hizbullah forces inside the country.Assuming for the moment that the IDF and the government are prepared to contend with these mounting military threats, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his colleagues must take the necessary steps to withstand and minimize the effectiveness of the far left's expected political warfare against Israel. As the past decade has made clear, the aim of that warfare is to delegitimize Israel's right to defend itself in order to make it impossible for Israel to pursue the war to military and political victory.As in the military arena, so in the political arena, Israel's foes have grown from nuisances into strategic threats over the past decade. The UN-sponsored Goldstone Report, which effectively denies Israel's right to defend itself and criminalizes its military efforts to secure its citizenry and its territory, is evidence of the gravity of the threat Israel faces as our leaders plan for the coming war.ON THIS latter plane, the past week has been an eventful and hopeful one. The latest developments offer guidance for how the government must proceed as the winds of war blow ever stronger. Late last week, the Zionist student movement Im Tirzu published a detailed report demonstrating that 16 anti-Zionist NGOs funded by the post-Zionist New Israel Fund worked hand in glove with the UN Human Rights Council and Richard Goldstone to bring about the establishment of the Goldstone committee and give credibility to its allegations that Israel committed war crimes during Operation Cast Lead. According to the Im Tirtzu report, 92 percent of Israeli allegations that Israel committed war crimes in its campaign against Hamas came from these 16 NIF-funded organizations.Im Tirtzu's report was prominently covered by Ma'ariv last weekend. The media coverage provoked calls in the Knesset this week to investigate the NIF and its operational arms in Israel, both through regular committee hearings and perhaps through a parliamentary investigative panel.These calls are extraordinary because they represent the first time in a decade that the legitimacy of these NGOs has been seriously scrutinized. Since the Palestinians began their terror war against Israel in September 2000, NIF-sponsored groups have worked steadily to intimidate political leaders, law enforcement officials and military commanders to toe their anti-Zionist line. In the wake of the PLO-incited riots in the Israeli Arab sector in October 2000, the overtly anti-Zionist NIF-funded Adalah group agitated for the formation of the Orr Commission. Charged with investigating the police who quelled the rioting rather than the rioters whose violence forced the prolonged closure of major highways to Jewish traffic throughout the country, the Orr Commission had a devastating impact on the police's morale and organizational culture.Adalah successfully cowed the Barak government into agreeing to rules of inquiry for the commission that denied police officers even minimal rights of due process. They were not allowed to confront or question their accusers. In the aftermath of the commission's public hearings – which amounted to little more than show trials – the careers of several dedicated officers were destroyed. As a consequence, police commanders began curtailing their law enforcement activities in Arab villages. Everything from illegal building to livestock theft to incitement to war against Israel has gone uninvestigated and unpunished.Furthermore, the Adalah-instigated and orchestrated Orr Commission empowered the most radical voices in Israeli Arab society. Supported by Arab political leaders, Adalah published a manifesto calling for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. Bishara's suspected espionage for Hizbullah, and the legal establishment's self-evident fear of prosecuting him for treason, are also the direct consequence of the Orr Commission.As for the IDF, NIF-funded organizations have played a key role in organizing the weekly riots at flashpoints like Ni'ilin and Bi'ilin and in the recent expansion of these riots to other places in Judea and Samaria like Neveh Tzuf. Supported by anti-Israel activists from Europe and the US, these riots have had a devastating impact on the IDF's morale and its ability to defend Israeli communities.The NIF-funded pro-Palestinian group B'Tselem provides the rioters with video cameras with which they regularly shoot distorted footage. Their canned films portray Israeli civilians seeking to defend themselves from the rioters as attackers. They portray IDF soldiers trying to keep order and protect Israeli civilians as violent bullies. B'Tselem gives these films to its supporters in the Israel media, which broadcast them as credible footage and demand that the IDF open investigations against its officers for carrying out lawful orders.On the defensive, the IDF is compelled to curtail its operations and Israeli civilians, now demonized, are viewed as legitimate targets for terror attacks. One recent film of the rioting outside Neveh Tzuf posted on YouTube shows border policemen simply fleeing the scene and leaving the residents of the community to fend for themselves.Im Tirtzu's offensive against the NIF sparked outraged protest among the NIF's supporters on the far left in Israel and in the US. Everyone from Ma'ariv's in-house anti-Zionist reporters Maya Bengal and Meirav David to J Street have piled on, attacking Im Tirtzu's financial backers and seeking to demonize the organization by referring to it as extremist, far right, racist, fascist, out-of-the-mainstream and all the other routine far-left terms used to demonize Zionists. What is most encouraging about the aftershocks of the Im Tirtzu report is that the Left's attempts to demonize it have so far failed. Indeed, the loudest voices calling for an investigation of NIF and its sponsored organizations have been MKs from Kadima.THE HARSH truth is that the main cause of Israel's poor performance in Cast Lead and the Second Lebanon War was the Olmert government's ideological dependence on the far left and its central contention that it is Israel's presence in contested areas rather than our enemies' commitment to Israel's destruction that causes wars. Owing to their allegiance to this falsehood, Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni were unable to prosecute the wars to victory militarily, justify the limited steps they did take to defend Israel diplomatically, or discredit the rising chorus of Israeli NGOs arguing that Israel had no right to defend itself politically.Since Cast Lead, however, two important things have happened. First Kadima was replaced by the Likud. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu rightly recognized the Goldstone Report as a strategic attack against Israel. If Israel has no right to defend itself; if its moves to do constitute war crimes, then Israel cannot fight, cannot win and will be destroyed. Rather than give credence to the report, Netanyahu has made discrediting it one his primary aims in office. And to counteract its force, among other things, for the first time since the start of the Oslo peace process with the PLO, Israel's government is asserting the Jewish people's right to Judea and Samaria.Beyond that, Kadima itself has changed its tune. Now in the opposition, Kadima no longer needs to defend its rejected plan to unilaterally withdraw from Judea and Samaria. Mahmoud Abbas's refusal of Olmert's offers to withdraw Israelis civilians and military personnel from nearly all of Judea and Samaria and to cede sovereignty in Jerusalem discredited the notion that it is possible to make peace with the Palestinians. Most importantly, the fact that Goldstone castigates Livni and Olmert as war criminals requires Kadima to fight all forces – including the far left it previously supported – that give credibility to Goldstone.These developments clear the way for the Netanyahu government to take steps to neutralize the potency of these groups. The government should move swiftly to order the police and the IDF to enforce the law against these groups and their allies. It must also provide the political support to police and military commanders in the field to empower them fulfill their orders without fear that they will be persecuted for doing their jobs.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
Jens Kastner | 03 Feb 2014 11:19 GMT | US & Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan, United States
In a lone tower overlooking a Taiwanese fishing port, a fisherman uses his massive hand to draw lines over a maritime chart. Each triangle and line he draws indicate waters that, he argues, belong to Taiwan. An official from Taiwan's local fishery association sitting next to the fisherman voices his full-throated approval.
Fishermen in Taiwan's once-sleepy port of Suao are experiencing a heyday because of increasingly ugly territorial tensions between Japan and China. The East China Sea's Senkaku Islands are controlled by Japan but claimed by China and Taiwan, who call the islands the Diaoyus and the Diaoyutais, respectively.
To fend off arch rival China, hard-nosed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has sought to win over the Taiwanese by suddenly allowing its fishermen access to the disputed waters. His government granted even more concessions to the Suao fishermen in recent weeks, arguably at the expense of Japan's own fishing folks.
"The [high-value] bluefin tuna loves that particular triangle south of the Diaoyutais the Japanese now let us operate in, because the waters there are deep," said Taiwanese fisherman Li Yuan-zhang. "Before Japan changed course, their coastguard had fined us 4,000,000 yen [$40,000] whenever they impounded our boats for entering those waters."
Japan closed off the area in 1994, when the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea came into force. The treaty allowed Japan, like other countries, to draw a 370-kilometre exclusive economic zone around every speck of land it controlled in the ocean, no matter how small. According to Chen Chung-sheng, the chairman of the Suao Fishermen's Association, fishermen could in the old days sail to the Diaoyutais from Suao with very little fuel, as they were carried there by the Kuroshio ocean current. "And on the way back, the vessels would make use of the parallel-running southward Qing current, like changing directions on a highway," he explains.
Difficult to access from Japan
By contrast, Chen maintains, Japanese fishermen rarely travelled to the islands because a 3,000-metre-deep trough separating Japan's Okinawa island and the Diaoyutais made the journey dangerous. Furthermore, there were rich fishing grounds much closer to Okinawa. "There is a trough between Taiwan and the [Chinese] mainland, and there is a trough between Japan and the Diaoyutais - but there is none between Taiwan and the Diaoyutais," Chen says.
In December, Abe sparked an international controversy by paying tribute at a shrine to Japan's war dead, including several war criminals. But as the world looked with disapproval at Japan, the country's fishery negotiators smoothed out remaining issues with their Taiwanese counterparts, creating good press in Taiwan.
Fishery Agency Director-General James Sha, Taiwan's top fishery negotiator, tells Al Jazeera that Taiwan can live with the outcome - for the time being. Sha, who has been involved in bilateral talks since the mid-1990s, confirmed a sudden shift in Japan's attitude towards the Taiwanese last year that, as his aide whispers, was steered by Japan's Foreign Ministry instead of the authority actually in charge of the fishery.
One sticking point in the recent Suao talks, Sha says, was the different ways in which Taiwanese and Japanese vessels fished.
"[The Japanese] cast their lines in north-south direction, we in the east-west one. And our vessels outnumber theirs by far in the Diaoyutai area, increasing the risk for them," he says. Sha explains that the hooked lines used by the Japanese to catch tuna are thinner than the ones the Taiwanese employ, meaning that in case of entanglement, the Japanese will likely get the short end of the stick.
He adds that the Taiwanese would not be able to continue setting up north-south fishing lines, because this would entail placing parts of the 56-km-long nets in waters closed off by the Japanese. "So we agreed that the Taiwanese vessels must keep more distance between each other. As to the benefits of the fishery agreement signed last year, the Suao vessels catch twice as much bluefin [tuna] in those waters than before," he says.
A small political price?
According to Chen Ching Chang, a political scientist at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, the fact that only a small number of Japanese fishermen operate around the Senkakus - and that most of these fishermen come from the Okinawa prefecture - mean that Abe may have to pay only a small political price for favouring Taiwan's fishermen.
"Okinawa's interest has almost always been considered secondary by the Japanese government," Chen notes. He elaborates that Abe's recent decision to move an unpopular US Marines' base on Okinawa to another part of the island, in the face of strong local opposition, is just one of the latest examples.
"If Abe can go ahead with the controversial Futenma relocation plan without much hesitation, his government should find it easy to use this fishery concession to neutralise Taiwan when the tensions between Japan and China remain high," Chen says.

Elie Hirschfeld: Inspiration to Stay Fit and Just Do It!
Staying fit is a constant challenge for anyone who is busy — I find for myself working out regularly and sweating makes all aspects of life better.: : Simply releases pressure, allows the body to function better (hence the mind also should).
Had a meeting today with: Elie Hirschfeld: — he is a 62 year old real estate developer — who is , participating in this weekend's Ironman U.S. Championship.: : Its 140.6 miles — consisting of a 2.4-mile swim; a 112-mile bike ride — and then a full marathon.: : I really left the meeting in awe as he detailed for me his workout routine and sheer determination.: : Some tips he left me with I am still thinking about hours later:
- Stay focused — It has to be a regular routine and not something that comes and goes
- Be Diverse in the exercise — he spoke of needing to switch things up both for training purposes and to work different body parts
- Don't Get Hurt:: : Know your body, and understand when to ice and when to heat.: : Stretch and massage.
- Be Goal Oriented — Having a focus and a goal means you push yourself more
- Be proud and enjoy — it's all part of life's ventures.: : Have fun and enjoy along the way.
Elie Hirschfeld: has completed more than 75 triathlons' — and told me he wanted to retire after he completed the Israman Ironman Triathlon — but with this competition in NYC he had to "unretire".: : The man is committed to so much — even today he was hard at work in his 5th: Avenue Real estate office — and from his real estate to a slew of charities simply left me so inspired had to document it.
Now go and just do it and don't think about it. Do it.: : (And: Elie Hirschfeld: — Thanks for the inspiration).

HPD Seeking Man Who Shot Guy Who Followed His Orders
Suspect sought in shooting.
Illustration by HPD
Two men emerged from Dreams Gentlemen's Club about 4:30 in the morning April 8.
They were approached by two men, one with a gun.
The armed man "pointed [the gun] at the two men and ordered them to raise their hands," Houston police say. "The second man told his friend to run and then fled. The victim, instead of running, raised his hands in the air and the suspect shot him."
You shot the guy who followed your directions? Nice work. The unidentified victim, 30, was shot in the wrist and abdomen but has recovered.
The two putative robbers then fled in a "white 2001 to 2005 Chevrolet Impala with tinted windows and swagger rims," HPD says.
The police released a composite sketch of one of the suspects. He's described as "a black male in his 20s, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 120 to 130 pounds with braided hair."
The other suspect, the one with the gun, was described as "a black male, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 185 to 190 pounds, wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap and a blue bandana over his face."
Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the IFR Division at 713-247-8400 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

#39 - blokrokker (07/20/2014) [-]
Grade Point Average. Somebody thought it would be a good idea to extrapolate a 100% grading scale to a 0.0-4.0 scale, and then force us to re-convert it to figure out anything meaningful about our grade totals. This is just another one of those things that gives non-Americans ammunition to insult us with, because it's total bullshit.
#41 - irishwolven (07/20/2014) [-]
Ah I've come across something similar in my A-Levels. We have UMS marks which are annoying to convert into and out of just to get the actual mark which gives the over all grade.

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and you're IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call you're life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe you're miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution you're little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held you're fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

My Sons.
By The Transgentle Wife on March 16, 2012
You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.
~Walter M. Schirra, Sr.
My sons are truly my heros. I could not have done any of this without their love and support.
I am saving a special day to talk about them in the near future but for today I'm going to publish the following post that I wrote late last year as a writing exercise....
I was challenged to write about 10 lessons my kids could teach me. I was all set to do something kinda humorous about how to live in a single bedroom for days at a time surviving only on a bag of Doritos and a case of soda. Or how about the top best excuses as to why there is a huge dent on the side of the car. As I gave it more thought I realized that my sons, who are now young adults, have given me many lessons on life. Lessons on how to be a decent human being. This is what my kids have taught me.
1. It's okay to be right even if it is not the popular thing to do.
My kids have definitely broken some rules but never because they buckled under peer pressure. If the DMV says that you can't have anyone in your car while you have a provisional drivers license then no one else can be in the car. It's okay to go to the chick flick with your date if that what she wants to do. Under no circumstances is it okay to drink and drive. And my favorite...it's okay to hang out with your mom.
2. Be kind.
Be kind to everyone and everything. Don't hit. Don't make fun of. If you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything. Smile and be gentle.
3. Don't let a bad day get the best of you.
We all have bad days...the kind where nothing goes right. The kind of day that starts with locking the keys in the car, having the computer crash, loading up the washing machine and finding no soap, etc. On these kind of days my sons just simply roll with it. They deal with each bummer move one at a time. Luckily these days don't happen very often but when they do its water off their back.
4. Have fun and laugh a lot.
My kids truly believe in humor. Good fun humor. Nothing that would ever harm anyone and the only person they laugh at is themselves. And they do that a lot! I could go on and on with their antics but one example is this...
My older son gave my younger son a horse mask for his birthday last year. We happened to be celebrating birthdays on a family cruise when he got this present. Needless to say there were quite a few laughs watching my son walk around the ship with the mask on. To see the other passengers reactions was hysterical. I was told recently that they drove down the freeway with my son sticking his head out of the car window with the mask on. Just like real horses do. Can you imagine driving along side that?!
5. Don't be afraid to try new things.
Over the years they have rock climbed, gone kayaking and zip-lined. They have played badminton, lacrosse and rugby. They learned how to play chess. One son even picked up knitting. They go to art museums.
6. Be nice to your mother.
She is the only one you have. I can see how they are patient with me, they don't snap at me and they treat me with respect. They remind me that I should do the same with my own mother.
7. Have a strict "no family as friends" on Facebook.
While this might sound a little hypocritical to #6 it's actually a good thing. I admit I was a little bit hurt when my kids de-friended me. They explained to me its just so not cool to have your Mom, Grandma, and Uncle Danny making goofy comments for all their friends to see. I have to admit they are right. And trust me... you do not want to see any party pics that might pop up when someone tags them. The only exception to this rule is that it's okay to friend your brother. That's it.
8. Family traditions are important.
The traditions that we all start when the kids are little are just as important twenty years later. If you put carrots out and made Santa footprints with baby powder coming out of the fireplace be ready to keep that up every year at Christmas. Keep hanging the kindergarten made ornaments. Everybody still gets an Easter basket. Pumpkin pie is still made from scratch. And speaking of pie one family tradition we started... we have pie on March 14 because it's "pi day 3.14159". Yes we are geeks!
9. Don't eat crap.
My boys will no longer eat at Mcdonalds or Burger King or any other fast food restaurant. They are appalled when I do and then proceed to read off the (un)nutritional value of each item I'm eating. If they eat out it has to be at a sit down place. As a result they cook for themselves a lot. They are becoming quite creative in the kitchen and can whip up a decent meal.
10. Travel
They believe in seeing the world. They will hop in the car and go on road trips at the spur of the moment. They each have been to Europe, Canada, Iceland and Mexico. They love to explore new cities. Life should be an adventure.
11. Have an open mind and respect others beliefs.
Every body has a right to believe in their own beliefs. It's important to accept that. Unfortunately I was not raised that way at all. My open mind comes from them. They accept everybody for who they are. They truly believe that every one has the right to be themselves. It is truly a gift to learn this lesson from them. What a world this would be if everyone accepted each other for who they are.

- Thank you Frank and Shanel for my incredibly beautiful art deco wedding band. I can't thank you enough for your helpfulness and kindness. The ring itself is stunning - and what an amazing job you've done with re-sizing it. No-one can spot the new join! Thank you also for sending it all the way to Australia, and for your continuous contact when I was deciding on a ring. The best online shopping experience I have had BY FAR. Many, many thanks to you lovely people. Review by Nikki G. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- We had looked for months for a very special ring. When I saw the photo of the ring, I knew it was the one! When we called for information about the ring, it was an excellent experience. They provided us with a great deal of information in a very friendly, helpful way. When we received the ring, it was exactly as described, EXCEPT, it was even more beautiful than I imagined that it would be. We would definitely purchase from them again. Highly recommended, very trustworthy. Review by L A (Posted on 9/22/2013)
- I bought an antique wedding band from Gesner online, and I could not be happier with the experience. Price was great, customer service was top notch, communication excellent, and shipping very fast! I would encourage anyone to buy with confidence from Gesner. I know I will again in the future. Review by Daniel (Posted on 7/26/2013)
- I found a beautiful antique bangle at the Gesner store in Tampa. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the experience, as I had been looking for quite some time. I started my shopping quest with looking on the Gesner website first before going into the store, which did save alot of time. Review by Rebecca S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- We buy all our jewelry from Gesner's. The most knowledgeable staff, the most reasonable prices, and the most fantastic pieces! Review by Mara S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
To the entire Gesner team,
I want to extend a very sincere thank you for all that you have done on my behalf. My diamond and ruby eternity ring is exquisite, made even more so by Valerie and Sherrie's enthusiasm, above and beyond customer service, attention to detail and patience as I worked my way through the myriad of decisions. Your jeweler has achieved a masterful level of his art and it showed stunningly in his work. I thank you also for the thorough appraisal. Review by Valerie J. (Posted on 6/12/2012)
- Great customer service! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! Review by Mary S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I want to say that I am very appreciative of how you do business. In a world where you have to keep track of all your records so you can be prepared to fight for something that really should be a cut and dry customer service issue, your company has been a breath of fresh air. My wife is so impressed that she says the next piece she buys will be from you! Review by Randy F. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- My friend and I went in to look at engagement rings to show our boyfriends what we wanted. Valarie was very patient with us and I found a ring I was in love with. She was very helpful with my now fiance and I could not be happier. I can't wait to go in to shop for my wedding band! Review by Tara (Posted on 6/4/2012)
- I went in to Gesner's store in hopes of finding an antique engagement ring to give to my girlfriend. I could not be happier with my experience. I found the perfect ring and the Gesners found a life long customer. Review by Ryan Shuhart (Posted on 2/21/2012)

Many thanx to this dating site. I met my match here in September 2014. We've been together now for about 6 months. I love him so much, and he treats me with love, respect, kindness, so much that I don't doubt it when he tells me that he loves me. He is from South Africa and we meet almost every weekend... we're getting ready to get married... I encourage those who are still searching not to lose heart. It took me about 6 years (from 2008) to find the man of my dreams...
