Households exert an important influence on total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, their consumption behavior is of interest in evaluations of climate policy options and projections of future emission paths. While most evaluations of household consumption and its emissions are based on expenditure only, we use a household consumption model based on functional units (e.g., kg food, person kilometers, living square meters). The goal of this article is to assess changes in consumption with increasing affluence level of households and to compare the allocation of GHG emissions to monetary versus functional units. We find that (1) the model based on functional units provides good bottom-up estimates for greenhouse emissions of Swiss households; (2) quality (price per functional unit) increases with income for many consumption categories, and therefore using functional instead of monetary units leads to a lower increase of greenhouse gas emissions with income; (3) the relevance of GHG emissions from goods and mobility will increase. We conclude that using household models based on monetary units only overestimates the impact of marginal consumption and neglects the potential of decoupling income and environmental impact by consuming better instead of more. For sustainable consumption, research and policy should aim at preventing goods of higher quality from having higher environmental impact in order to benefit from the increasing quality orientation with rising income.

Remember Me
Ten Ton Chicken, one of the SF Bay Area's keenest purveyors
of the jam, finds themselves in 2003 with a fine new album, In Search of...,
and a palpable hankering to be heard. And just as any singer must find their voice,
a band must find its sound. After wandering through the styles of
others, trying different flavors on their golden skin, TTC has found a cosmic dust
groove of their very own.
There's something reassuring about a band that's better with every outing. The
Chicken grows mightily with each phase of their development. A year ago they were
still exploring the possibilities of their debut, Just Like In The Old Country, a
not unpleasant nugget that carried echoes of Little Feat and many blond haired
soul units. In the intervening months something happened, and to use the
vernacular, something deeply cool. From hours upon hours of composing and
practice, they've emerged with a distinctive twang, knotty with finger twisting
patterns that frequently detour into space yet always flow fine and smooth as
Cuervo Gold and fine Colombian. The maturity of the players comes through loudly.
Their new record feels like they're serving notice that they are their own band. So
why don't more kiddies flock to their coup?
I find myself travelin' down the same road
This lonely road, this tired road, this hard road
Familiar path that I have walked before.
Gobbledygoop, I'll take my coffee black.
Gobbledygoop, and have a crap attack.
Gobbledygoop, on account of the bad bad cream.
Besides the goofiness, there's one other loaded word that fits TTC: fusion. Yeah,
the flared power of the Headhunters but also the chrome-and-neon slickness of Spyro Gyra. There are times
when Ten Ton Chicken could use a bit more dirt, some smudges to complicate
matters. The main place this pleasant wrinkle appears is the glorious and
consistently vigorous guitar of Gary Morrell, who recalls a host of great axe
slingers without bowing down before any one of them. There's a bit of Larry Coryell,
some Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, even a flash of Al DiMeola from time to time. Morrell
incorporates fuzz into the mix, a punk-Zappa drive to make things less pretty. It's an
urge I think the band would benefit from following more often.
It won't hurt that they have a smile-raising new platter to use as a calling card. In
Search of... rollicks like a kid with a pocket full of coins and a day with nothing
to do but run in the sunshine. "Jungle Cat" opens it up, updating "Maneater" for a
new generation before swingin' into "skLorilla," a shameless reworking of Otis' "I
Can't Turn You Loose" riff that puts a tiger in your tank. Listen to Smeltz slaughter
the groove, great peels of brass flying from a single small figure. Recorded with the
whole band cranking together on a sound stage, In Search of... is a goulash
of Philly vamp, middle eastern spice, Cuban-esque piano, modern electronica
made by man instead of machines and silly string excursions that actually take you
somewhere. The instrumental "Horscht" is my personal fave, a clean and crispy
Lego block-builder with corridors to explore for days on end. Lock-tight drummer
Rich Dibenedetto shows his best here, highlighting his humility as a
percussionist who never showboats while holding things together expertly.
Keyboardist Greg Sankovich also rises to the top on this cut. His gift for
finding fresh colors without being obtrusive continues to impress.
I've said it before but it bears repeating: Watch this band closely. A year is a very
short time. They've made a lot of nifty changes and delivered a great sophomore
release, all ample evidence that they are onto bigger and better things.

Vincent Yu, Associated Press
PYONGYANG, North Korea — In North Korea, the birthday of the nation's founder, Kim Il Sung, is the biggest holiday of the year, as important to North Koreans as Thanksgiving is to Americans.
This year, for what would have been the late president's 100th birthday, North Koreans have three days off. Thousands came to Pyongyang's Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Exhibition House (a begonia is named for Kim's late son, Kim Jong Il) to pass a warm spring day in their Sunday best to have family portraits taken before the elaborate displays of flowers on show in central Pyongyang.
The centerpiece is the violet orchid called the Kimilsungia, named after Kim by Indonesia's dictator, Sukarno, that has become an integral part of the ever-present state-sponsored propaganda that surrounds the late leader.
The flower show not only features some 30,000 potted plants — most of them Kimilsungia flowers or the bright red Kimjongilia begonia named after his son, late leader Kim Jong Il — but also the latest achievements North Korea's government is seeking to promote.
The display sponsored by Pyongyang's urban planners includes miniature models of the new apartment towers built in front of the hill where the Kims' bronze statues lord over the city, while another cultivated by a firm that is providing most of the cement for the construction shows off a signed note from new leader Kim Jong Un.
The exhibit of flowers cultivated by the State Academy of Sciences features a mock-up of the Unha-3 rocket that broke up over the Yellow Sea in a controversial launch Friday. One teenager stood primly next to the rocket as her father snapped her photo with his cell phone.
The largest display is a huge blanket of flowers replicating a unified Korea.
The exhibition hall was packed Tuesday with parents toting toddlers clad in traditional Korean outfits, mini military uniforms and tweed suits and armed with digital cameras and camcorders.
Groups of soldiers posed together for photos in front of the display sponsored by a unit of the Korean People's Army, while students still in their school uniforms snapped photos of one another as the Kim Jong Un ode "Footsteps" blared in the background.
Outside, vendors were selling everything from hot dogs on sticks to strawberry-flavored ice cream sandwiches, as well as Minnie Mouse backpacks, and pots, planters and watering cans.

Stories and reflections on the Buddhist approach to life
Updates and reports from around the world
by Jocelyne Beaupré, Canada
In Buddhism it is said that one can create one's own life. In his writings, Nichiren likens the heart to a skilled painter and says that we should conceive of our life just as we would like it to be as if we were a talented painter who could make his vision come to life on a canvas. Here is the way in which I have fashioned my life over the past few years.
Before practicing Nichiren Buddhism I was a timid person, alone, with little confidence, afraid of just about everything and therefore unable to form close relations with others. I did little, and I had no work, living off social security for most of the time in one small room.
In 1995, a friend introduced me to Nichiren Buddhism and when I had the chance to meet the leader of SGI Canada, I asked why, in spite of my training, I could never find work, and why I had no friends and had the overpowering sensation that I did not exist in the eyes of others.
She replied that in order to gain more good fortune, I should chant plentiful daimoku and also take care of others and become actively involved in SGI activities. I followed her suggestion and became involved in the publications committee of SGI Canada where I was able to read a lot of President Ikeda's writing and gradually I began to open up to others, to raise my head.
My practice gave me courage, confidence and the ability to persevere. I found a bigger, brighter apartment and two jobs. Working as a professional house cleaner for elderly and ill people, which I hated, I was also taken on as a secretary-receptionist three days a week. Once again I sought advice from an experienced SGI member, admitting that while my searches for better work were so far fruitless, I dreamed of quitting my current jobs. I also told her that I felt extremely angry when faced with elderly or sick people in my work who were constantly complaining.
The response was quite strict! I was told that it was up to me to change my perception of my job, to see that I was really working as a bodhisattva--someone who devotes themselves to helping others. I was encouraged to use my prayer to increase my own energy and wisdom, and to really help these people. Exercising and developing my compassion in my work would create great value and increase my own life force and then my appreciation would naturally well forth. I was advised to focus on making myself a stronger person before I imagined quitting my job. related article An Open Life by Michele Di Mascio Through practicing Nichiren Buddhism, Michele Di Mascio was able to to come to terms with his homosexuality. Through efforts to support his HIV-infected partner, Michele entered upon a journey with leading world scientists to find a way to eradicate the HIV virus.
I decided to take care of others and not let my anger dominate me. To my great surprise, the patients' attitude seemed to improve, and complaints came more and more rarely. I still hated the work, but I did my best. I took the view that if I did not allow myself to be defeated by my worries and problems, they could help me to learn. I focused on ensuring that every person was satisfied. Little by little, I saw that this work was enabling me to increase my self-esteem. I saw my capabilities. I realized that this was the ideal job for me to develop my humanity and transform my anger. In Buddhism, so long as we are not defeated by our worries and obstacles, they can become a means to enable us to deepen our faith and the raw material for the construction of our happiness. Every morning I prayed to have the wisdom and courage necessary to take care of others.
continued for a year and a half, until I decided not to do cleaning work any more. The part-time receptionist work was not enough to cover my living costs, and I struggled to feel confidence rather than fear. Fortunately it happened that my brother-in-law's friend was needing a secretary. I was able to design my own office and now only work for 20-25 hours a week, while being paid a full wage. I am enjoying working part-time and I am getting to know people who travel on the same bus as me. I have a wonderful boss who appreciates my efforts, and I work in my own rhythm, without stress. Every day I feel gratitude for this new situation and to all those who have encouraged me along the way.

This was my first visit to this doctor... I did read the reviews but thought because they were from a couple tears ago maybe things had changed. ... I called yesterday for a appt and was told the Madison Heights office had been closed for 4 year's (even though it is still on the website) so i agreed to go to tge Livonia office.... I drove over 40 minutes to get there and when i got there was told they are no longer accepting new Medicaid appts! I was very upset !!: I had told them when i made the appt that i was new to medicaid and would be using that insurance.. Well they still said no, sorry someone made a mistake.... I have never made a comment like this but I'm a little upset because of gas prices ...my time wasted...yesterday taking all the time on the phone with them going over my insurance info.... only to be told "sorry"! I would think before going to this place...
I had an appointment on Halloween at the Berkeley location at 5:30 pm. I got there at 5:37 because of traffic (I was coming from downtown Detroit) and the front desk clerk told me I could not be seen, because I was late. I told her I had spoke to someone earlier and they told me it was ok to still come in. She told me she would ask the doctor because the doctor was ready to leave. She then came back and said I would have to reschedule. Remind you I woke up with a sore throat, a headache, chills, a fever, and an aching body (symptoms of the flu), and when I ask the clerk why couldnt I be seen, her response was you were late and it is Halloween. So Halloween is more important than health now? Are you serious? I was livid, NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I STEP FOOT IN HER OFFICE EVER AGAIN. The whole experience was just rude and inconsiderate.
I just recently saw this doctor for the first time and my first impression of her was NOT good. First of all her office staff are very uneducated, rude, and spend way to much time talking instead of checking people in and out. I went to see Dr. Gupta for a routine visit and found out that my lab work came back and that one of my vitals was to high. I requested to speak to my doctor and was told by the staff that she is with a patient. But she was not as I could see her laughing and talking with one of the staff people. Then I was told that my doctor will call me tomorrow to discuss my lab results, however, one of my vitals came back extremely elevated and she didn't care that I was concerned. Dr. Gupta preferred to talk to her staff than care for her patient. She sent me to the ER to be checked out by the ER doctor instead of taking the time to explain to me what was going on. The staff at this place spends to much time talking and less time helping patients. Needless to say, I'm seeing a new doctor now and I will never ever go back to this place again (I'm referring to the Berkley location).
Good Doctor
Very knowledgeable Doctor,cares about patients.

Apple Nachos
Almost daily, my kids are asking me for something sweet to eat. Sometimes it's when my daughter gets home from school and sometimes it's after dinner when they start begging for dessert.
Who am I kidding? They ask what's for dessert as soon as we sit down to the dinner table. They love their sweets.
Because I'm a good mom who is concerned about her kids' health (and her future pediatric dentist bills), I'll usually limit uber sugary sweets (like the plate of Brownie Cupcakes with Fudge Frosting that is currently sitting on my kitchen counter) to every once in a while.
Moderation is key and all that jazz.

Brownie Cupcakes with Fudge Frosting
Can we talk for a minute about brownies? I just love a nice, thick, rich, fudgy brownie, don't you? If I had my choice of chocolaty treats, I'd go for the frosted chocolate brownie every time.
I like the dense texture, the intense chocolate flavor, and I adore a sweet chocolate brownie frosting. Oh, and when the edges get all chewy...yum times 10! Times 100! Uh, just so darn good.
When I decided to join in the #Choctoberfest fun this month, I knew right away that I would be making brownies. But, not just any old brownies. Oh, no. There is nothing ordinary about my brownies.

Mexican Chicken and Rice Skillet Casserole
When the end of summer is on the horizon, I switch from laid-back-beach-going mom to organized-get-things-done mom. The fall brings a busier schedule for our family and, as the homemaker, it's my job to reset and refocus to ensure sure everyone settles into the new on-the-go routine comfortably.

Cindee's Nacho Cheese Sausage Dip
For as long as I can remember, my Step-Mom has been making this dip when we have family gatherings and parties. Whenever we hop in the car to head to my Dad and Step-Mom's house, I'm always thinking in the back of my mind, "I hope she made her sausage dip."
Lucky for me, I got the recipe in a cookbook that my sister compiled for me as a gift when I got married. It's full of family submitted recipes, and I think my step-mom knows how much I love this dip because it's one of the ones she shared!

White Bean Dip
When I'm having guests over I like to make recipes that allow me to have more time mingling and less time in the kitchen, especially when it comes to the appetizers. Easy to make appetizers are the best kind, don't you think? I love when I find a recipe that comes together really easily and still tastes amazing.
This bean dip is made by throwing all of the ingredients into your food processor and giving it a few whirls until it's nice and creamy. That's it! It doesn't get much easier than that!

Jalapeño Popper Turkey Burger Sliders
One of my very favorite appetizers is jalapeño poppers. I love biting into all of that creamy, cheesy spiciness. My mouth waters just thinking about it! My go-to recipe for poppers is a baked version that has a little crunch thanks to a coating of panko breadcrumbs. I seriously grow jalapenos in my garden just for that recipe. BEST. EVER.
I love poppers so much that a few years came up with a jalapeño popper inspired burger that totally rocked my taste buds. For that recipe, the cream cheese jalapeño mixture is sandwiched in the middle of a burger patty. I threw some bacon on the burger, too, because bacon, burgers, and jalapeno poppers just make sense.
Some things are just meant to be!

Slow Cooker Garlic Mushrooms
One of my very favorite cooking methods is slow cooking. My slow cooker is well-loved and frequently used, especially for those hearty fall stick-to-your-bones kind of meals.
While slow cookers are perfect for those rich meals, it's also great for cooking light sides like these Slow Cooker Garlic Mushrooms that are perfect served with steaks, pork and chicken! The best part about this recipe? The broth is the perfect base for a killer mushroom gravy or vegetarian soup. Yes!
Check out the recipe for this easy to make appetizer over at Real Housemoms, where I am a monthly contributor.

Vocaloid fans = Vocafans.
Yet... They are filled with composer, lyricist, producer, remixer, movie maker, translator, utaite (dubber / cover-singer), choreographer, and Fans.
They are not only admire the song, they also make the song. They not only support Vocaloid with cheers. But also live with them, along with their creativity.
They live with everyone, from different country, culture, language, and yet they unite, they hear all songs, created by anon, and they give criticize about which one the bad at some song, and then they fix together. They simply are voice of vocaloid (in my country, they call them people who like vocaloid as 'VoV') representedc by Vocaloids themselves. So,
Let me tell you?
Can you guys make song and let your idol sing your custom song? That's bit, non-believable right?
So, how about us? Simply, we can show to world, we are different, but we united together, the second renaissance of Music, Vocaloids leaded by Miku Hatsune, The Song/ Voice from the future!
There is no fanbase like the one for vocaloid. How many other fans can be as much a part of their favorite Singer's exploits as vocaloid fans? I say none. This isn't just a fanbase this a community. A community composed of people from all walks of life. It transcends borders, nationalities, ethnicities, even religions. Whether you're a professional or amateur, composer or just someone who hits the "like" button you are a vital part of this community. There is no community like the vocaloid community and I wouldn't give up being a part of it for the world.
All though it's just a program, it lived in people's heart! They will grow in people's heart.. Vocafans is normal. Don't underestimate the Vocaloids! The composers work hard for efforts!
Vocaloid is "The amazing things"V81 Comments
SS501 was first my K-pop group I got to know about... And you know, from the very beginning I was absolutely shocked (in a good sense) by these 5 singing cute, kind and funny (in their shows) guys. And though it's been almost 3 years since I first heard couple of their songs (those were 2 OST songs - 'Because I'm stupid' and 'Making a lover'), my playlist still got almost all of their songs, which are usually very bright, calming or energetic and so filled with love (like 'Confession', 'Haruman', 'Find', 'Green peas' and many others). So thankful that one day I got to know about these guys... And I do believe that there will be a day, when these guys them will make us, Triple S, absolutely happy by coming back as 5 once again! With much love and millions of kisses to our guys, warm hello from Kazakhstan!
Do you know which boyband called them five stars as one? They are SS501 and we are Triple S will be in their side, waiting they to comeback! Triple S, please always believe SS501 will comeback!
SS5O1 - the name that never fail to make people love and trust them forever!
I can't help but love these guys. They complete each other and although they are doing solo activities now but they will always be 5 forever as 1.V283 Comments
I proud to be a Sone. Sone and SNSD belong together. SNSD number 1. SNSD always in Sone's heart.
One of the Best Fandom Ever who has 390 K Fanbase all over the world. Most powerful fandom in this century. Once a Sone, FOREVER a SONE. This deserves at #2 spot And Cassies at 1st
Sones are the best. You'll see what we'll be doing on Sooyoung's bday which is coming. Ask any fanbase about it. They should know.
No doubt the best girl group of Korea. They have the best fanbase ever. Yes, SOSHIFIED! It's Soshified. You guys should remember. They've got 99% of things about SNSD. Subbed shows? They have Streams? They have Pictures? They have Schedules? SNSD even mentioned that Soshified knew their schedule really well while SNSD, themselves aren't really clear about it. Fans? Aww, that's the most amazing thing they own in Soshified.
Now a SONE, Future a SONE, Forever a SONE. Right now it's SNSD, Future still SNSD, Forever SNSD.
Right now it's girls generation! Proud to be a soneV102 Comments
Haha this made me laugh. I wonder what Green Day fans were called before American Idiot came out. "Kerplunkers"?
Out of all the people that I've talked to from other fan bases, Idiots are by far the most down to earth people who are in it mainly for the music that quality has seemed to have lost over how 'cute and handsome' the band may look
I would be happier about this, but American Idiot is pretty much their last good album. Dookie was the singles best album of all time. I'll consider myself a dookie. Green Day turned to "poppy" for me now.
I was going to add this to the list. I see I was late X3V9 Comments
We're not fans, but we're family. We always support fatin shidqia lubis.
Willingness and sincerity is our symbol Fatinistic. We will support Shidqia Fatin. Anytime and anywhere. In joy and sorrow... Because we are the best fans in the world's fanbase

SHINee was the first ever group that got me into k-pop
Although I had heard some k-pop songs before I didn't get into it before I discovered SHINee
SHINee Fighting! SHAWOL Fighting!
I am SHAWOL
I love SHINee
Have changed my life...
Their songs
Their voices
Their characters...
Everything about them is very meaning to me
I'm very proud to be SW
SHINee fans are like living in the SHINee WORLD seriously. SHINee fans don't only support SHINee but also their sunbaes and hoobaes. We have ethics and we only want what's best for SHINee, like we don't care if they don't have projects or what as long as they're healthy and in good condition.
SHINee fighting! SHINee WORLD fighting!
SHINee is shining always. Why asking for the reason when you can see their sincerity?V135 Comments
Directioners, by far, are the most corrupted, most crazy fandom. (stay with me, I'm not here to insult) We get a lot of hate for our boys being "gay", "untalented", "undeserving" and "nothing". So, its not question why we are so easily provoked, resulting in unruly outbursts! We have seen our boys potential and its hard when you are automatically claimed as weird in your new class because you like One Direction. But you know what? We don't care because we do love our boys unconditionally, and we wont let anyone stop that.
Yes, we have favourites, but in a strange but heart-warming way, it doesn't mean we love the other boys any less.
When we need to, we WILL push away all our opinions and arguments and strive to do or help the boys with whatever they need.
No we aren't the most wonderful fandom in actual fact, our fandom is quite hell compared to the others! BUT. Because the boys have taken on the responsibility of us, very unruly girls and boys, we have so much to thank them for AND LET ME JUST SAY we continuously do! From selling out world tours in minutes and hours, to breaking records! Or even smaller things like trending a tag - we'll do it! We might not always succeed, but we never give up until the last straw!
Yes, we're obsessed, BUT we are just as, well more actually, dedicated and loyal!
We are a humongous family, who yes, fights, but in the end, we always make up. But I think that's what makes us the best. You see.. We are constantly thanking them in all ways possible for everything that they do! No. We aren't the perfect fandom, but with how broken we are, and the way we constantly yearn and breath to stay as Directioner and as a fandom, in a way, we kinda are
Number 12? I don't agree with that at all.
I don't consider us obsessed.
Well... well, actually, I don't know.
I think that we as Directioners are easily... provoked. We go into defense mode when someone says something that offends our sisters, or the boys. I joined the One Direction fandom in the summer of 2012. I haven't been around as long as some people, but I have gained so many sisters that are here for me. I have met so many people at school, and sat next to a girl at the This Is Us premiere who I found out lives on my street. She's now my best friend. I think that One Direction brings us all together as a family, and shows us what we're worth. There is so many things that they have said that have made my day just a little better. Sure, they are 20 year old boys that make mistakes. I don't think that anyone can be perfect, even celebrity's.
Together, as a family, we have done all we can to make our boys proud of us. We have stuck together thick and thin. We fight sometimes, but at the end of the day, when the water is calm, I feel like we're all holding hands and coming together.
We have lost sisters. Lots of them. To various things. Other bands, self harm, and suicide. We are aware of them. We are aware of who they are, and the people they are and were. We celebrate their life. We cry.
People need to look at the facts of who we are before we judge.
And there is no lie when we say, we are deadly. Directioners send death threats, which is not good, but we are a family, and the boys are our life, and we love them TO DEATH.
I love One Direction with all my heart. My mom told me I have definitely got happier since One Direction came into my life.
I was never depressed. I've always been happy, and had enough friends, but One Direction has given me something to reflect on, and thousands of people to rely on.
I could never thank them enough. I don't have tickets to their shows, but I kind of think that's okay. I just want them to know how much I love them. I do. I do love them so much, and I could never repay them for what they've done for me.
Directioners are the best fandom in the world. From the bottom of the stairs to the top. They had made us laugh when we're having bad times. They made us smile. And they never failed us to make us feel good. From The X-Factor to Madison Square Garden. The 3 years I have been in this fradom has been the best thing ever happened into our lives. We all love Harry, Liam, Louis, Zayn, and Niall. Yes, we have been to some fights. But that was the past. We Directioners know how to behave and be loyal. One Direction made us laugh, cry, and smile. Every day. Always. I am glad to be in this fandom. This whole fandom has changed my life. We couldn't have done it without them. And most definitely, we have change their lives. And they have changed ours. No,
We are NOT obsessed.
We are Dedicated.
We are NOT friends.
We are family.
We support our boys and we support everyone. We have broken the Vevo record. How? Because us Directioners came together... And watched it, and cried, and laugh, and smile more than 100+ times. In my school people make fun of me for loving this band with all my heart. But guess what? I don't care! I would do... Whatever it takes to meet them. They just have to be the most lovable guys in the world. One Direction are my world. Yes. They are 5 idiots. But they are our idiots. Although 5 wonderful girls are going to marry them, have kids with them, and love them, that doesn't mean we're going to stop being Directioners. In addition I recomend this fandom is the most dedicated fandom. We deserve it. Thank you. #ForeverInThisFandom

I am proud to be a blackjack.. Blackjacks are friendly.. Blackjacks will always do everything just to defend our favorite group 2NE1.. 2NE1 never disappoint us(blackjacks) that's why we love them
2NE1 is cool, funny, kind and cute! They've got the most amazing songs. As a blackjack, I'm never tired of listening to their songs. Their stage performances are always great! They've got the killer fashion style! How can you not love such a band? They're awesome! I'm proud of being a fan of 2NE1!
Being in the fandom, it's safe to say that I've met the coolest people around. The majority of us don't bash and all but rather, we focus on loving the girls. K blackjacks are also all sorts of cool as we usually get news about them giving up their tickets or front row seats for another fandom. People in the fandom make me proud to be a blackjack~
Lee Chaerin, Park Bom, Sandara Park, Gong Minji, these 4 girls are eternally humble and down to earth. They don't really show a lot of their own personalities because they don't go on variety often. However, through 2NE1TV and the few variety shows, we get to see how endearing they are. On stage, they transform into the figures of female power and their swag as they hype the crowd and boost all of our confidence with their music and swag. Then, that is where the fans and the girls connect, which brings in the reason why we're blackjacks.
Because 2NE1 never fails to deliver with their music and performance, because of the fellow fans, I am proud to be a blackjack~
Proud to be a Blackjack! 2NE1 works so hard for us and I will continue to support them. 2NE1 fighting!V31 Comments
We will always stand by her! Since her worldwide release she gives her best and make the impossible become possible for us, monsters! She's always trying to make us happy and also always fought for our rights! She even tried to break society rules to make "unusual" people feel equal and integrated! We all owe Lady Gaga so much! Paws Up forever!
We all support her no matter what. She makes me happy and brave. I love Gaga. She also loves her fans very much.
Because she's flawless, and only we're enlightened enough to see that... Which means quite a few people in this world are enlightened.
LADY GAGA IS QUEEN! And we're the most supportive and coolest fanbase.
Lady Gaga is the best. No matter what they say she will always shine. Love you Gaga!V15 Comments
McFlyers are the most dedicated fans that I know. I'm one of them and we are big family, because that four guys made of us a Family! I'm proud and I love to be a Galaxy Defender, McFlyer, part of the McFly army. And I have to say that I love the CAFE CO' LECHI, YOUGURT, I'M A BAD GIRL AND I GO INTO THE WOODS, I'm THAT GIRL, I'm KATE, I'm JOANNA. BECAUSE I THINK THAT ALL MCFLY SONGS ARE DEDICATED TO THE FANS, NOT JUST FOR KATE, JOANNA, ANNE, OR WHATEVER (except for Lindsay, that's other story). WE ARE THE BEST FANS, THEY LOVE US, AND WE WAIT FOR THE AMAZING ALBUM THEY ARE PREPARING AND THE FABULOUS TOUR! 'THE KEEP CALM AND PLAY LOUDER TOUR'. SERIOUSLY, THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND A MILLIONS GIRLS IN THE WORLD ARE FELLING THE SAME RIGHT NOW.
McFly is my life, they mean everything to me, they and their music where in the best and worst moments in my life, in many moments they are been with me... Not with me like in person, but their music always make me feel better and give me the power to continue in the difficult moments... This 4 guys, Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry are too much for me... They are amazing, funny, talented, crazy, lovely guys, naughty guys, they always can make me laugh. They love us and try always to make us feel nearer to them, the best gift that they bring to us is their amazing music, that chords, the bass, the guitars, the drums, the lovely and charming voices, Tom lovely voice, Danny rocky voice, and Dougie cute voice, I don't know what my life could be without them (sorry for my English, I try my best to express everything or almost everything that I feel) ANOTHER YEAR OVER WE ARE STILL TOGETHER, IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASE BUT MCFLY IS HERE FOREVER! GALAXY DEFENDERS STAY FOREVER
We are the best! Because we love the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. McFLY is everything for us. THANKS DOUGIE, TOM, DANNY AND HARRY FOR MAKING OUR LIVES BEAUTIFUL. We love your perfect songs, your good humour, your kindness, your performances and everything about you. IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY BUT MCFLY'S HERE FOREVER.

We are and have been united and growing for more than ten years now. This is commitment you cannot deny. We've become more than just a fandom, more than just a group of people who demand to be heard by a group of people we love. We're a huge family, all together, with Muse themselves. We understand them, and they understand us. We are Musers.
It's nearly impossible to describe what being a muser is like for anyone outside of the fandom to relate to. Basically, musers are a unit, a team, a family. Plain and simple. We aren't collectively joined because we find the Muse members 'hot', it is because we all share the same love of the music. We aren't deluded or feel the need to thrust our fandom into others faces, we are considerate, we respect everyone. I haven't yet encountered a muser I genuinely dislike and that is because we all understand that there is no need for antagonism. We not only love the band, we love, care and respect each other. It is for the reason that musers are the best, all round fandom; we are Musers and we follow example from the kindest, funniest and most talented men in the music industry today.
Musers are a really tight-knit but also very large community. On facebook, there is an official page with over 10 million fans. Musers make up all sorts of fans that are united together by one band, which is uncommon to other fan bases. For example, a classical music fan, a hard-rock fan and a professional pop-rock fan might all like MUSE and have appreciated the other genres presented by the songs played by Muse.
Muse has been around for twenty years now and musers have been there the whole time. We have a lot of inside jokes and stuff, but we are also a family. We don't battle against other fan bases. We respect others.V47 Comments
Why are all these pop "artists" at the top? (Except for Green Day, I love you too.) Rock fans have really care about music, are (in general) nice people, and don't abandon bands when they stop being "cool".
YOUR KIDDING ME! There the Beatles and they're in 114 place! This list is a joke! The top ten of this list are all K pop bands I've never heard of and worst of all belibers and directioners are topping this? This is a disgrace to REAL MUSIC!
A very loving community of Beatles fans, always there for each other. Just, make sure not to offend The Beatles, or else you're dead - kaitlynrad11

Shoot Your Nightmare 2.1

Hard nosed likable football player. But also a pretty basic football decision. Good luck Tom!Hide replies
You need Crabby's...but they are replaceable. Havner was a similar player. Minimum football wage type guys.
Gonna miss Crabby...great guy to go to war with. Greg, too...no, check that....he's now wearing the UGLY purple...less in my eyes today. Money, money, money. Ponder your "riches", Greg!
Finley is presented with an amazing opportunity. Draft a top shelf runner and if Finley comes to camp dedicated to using his size and strength to bury guys during run plays...he will be THE TE in the NFL.
But I expect Ted to draft, in addition to a runner, many BAPs in the front 7 on D.
What sucks is,with a lot of guys,They dont care if they want to be somewhere for the most part as long as the money's there,Tom wanted to be here and we couldnt sign him.Hide replies
They could have signed him.
They chose not to.
I was surprised at this I thought Quarless was the one more deserving a cut by his lack of production on the field and too injury prone. Maybe Crabtree now has a chance to get more playtime. I think TT is high on Taylor who seems to be another hard working TE deserving of a shot to make a name for himself.Hide replies
Quarless has more upside as a complete tight end, pass receiving and blocking. Injuries have held him back this will be his year to shine or go. Crabtree is a effort guy to be admired, great blocker but isn't a receiver that will always be a threat. I like the kid a lot, but we had way too many tight ends.
Not sure if any of these tight ends could start for a college team, let alone an NFL one.
With all the emphasis on productive TE's these days, is this the best the Packers can do?Hide replies
You sure are unhappy w/Green Bay. Maybe you can cheer for the Dolphins or Kansas City, they've been very active in free agency.
5 TE's, 6 WR's last year.
It will be 4 and 5 this year, I think the Polar Bear has a plan.
Finley becomes more important now (for this year). It played itself out perfectly for Jmike.
Jmike will chase the $ next year don't kid yourself.
I think next year Ted will be looking hard at TE's and WR's in the draft. I don't know what next years positions of strength will be. This year it is D and O line I look for Ted to go at those 2 positions in the first 3 if not the first 2 rounds.
Ted will let more people go next year to the highest bidder. GB has a successful team so I look for it every year.Hide replies
This comment has been deleted.
Ohhh so.............................not so bright
Let's not forget McCarthy's input in who stays on the roster. I find it hard to believe that Thompson would be doing this all alone. If McCarthy really wanted Crabtree on the team, Thompson would take that into account. My guess is that from an X's and O's perspective, McCarthy may be favoring having fewer TE's on the roster.
5 WR's - Jones, Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Ross
4 TE's - Finley, Quarless, Williams, Taylor
3-4 RB's - Starks, Harris, Green, Benson (maybe)Hide replies
You may see an additional WR or TE if the draft someone with potential that they feel they can develope otherwise I think you nailed the most likely scenario.
Don't know about anyone else but that list doesn't exactly scream Super Bowl to me. It really says that without Rodgers we may actually be a pretty average team. Oy!
Aaron Rodgers is the main reason the Packers are a contender.
Saine is also coming to camp
If he really thought he'd be in GB for life, well that's just naive. NFL-Not for Long.
Teo even believes that's naive.Hide replies
No real crime in being naive. I can see how Crabtree would assume that all was well. Super Bowl championship, he was getting plenty of playing time, he was scoring TD's, the fans loved him...... what was there to worry about?
Oh yeah......the business side of football. He forgot about that.
While I am with TT on Jenning's and Jackson's none-signing, I am surprised about his decision on Crabtree - a good blocker, special team stud and an occasional wild card receiver. Well, Crabtree has my best wishes.
I liked Crabtree's contributions on special teams but I never question Ted's personnel decisions. Crabtree should be easily replaced by another high effort individual that can be signed for the league minimum.

Big Ten Championships
Results | Championship Central
Minneapolis, Minn. • University of Minnesota Aquatic Center
No. 23 Penn State
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.; Feb. 19, 2014 - Three program records and two NCAA "A" automatic qualifying marks highlighted the opening day of the Big Ten Championships for the Penn State women's swimming team on Wednesday evening at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. The Nittany Lions set program-bests in each of the relay events while also securing spots in the upcoming NCAA Championships.
Sophomore Alyson Ackman (Montreal, Quebec) also recorded an individual record for the Nittany Lions, posting a school record and NCAA "B" cut time in the 200 free as the lead-off swimmer for the 800 free relay team. Ackman registered a lead-off split of 1:44.04 to best her own record of 1:44.83 by nearly a second.
"I think there was a lot of excitement going into the evening," said Penn State head swimming and diving head coach Tim Murphy. "Both relays set team records, which is a nice step forward, and Alyson Ackman set a team record in the 200 free leading off the 800 free relay. Of course making `A' cuts is a great achievement as well, so a lot of positive things happened tonight and we are very excited."
The 200 medley relay squad of Mackenzie Powers (Sycamore, Ill.), Haley Sinatro (West Hartford, Conn.), Carolyn Fittin (Sea Girt, N.J.) and Katelyn Miller (Hershey, Pa.) kicked off the 2014 Big Ten Championships by turning in a record time of 1:37.61 for a fifth place finish. The quartet's mark edges the previous top time of 1:37.97 set last season by Powers, Merritt Krawczyk, Fittin and Paige Whitmire.
The 800 free relay team of Ackman, Kaitlin Jones (Midlothian, Va.), Caitlyn Karr (Reading, Pa.) and Gabi Shishkoff (Franklin, Mass.) followed suit, clocking in at a program-record 7:05.44 and placing fourth in the event. The squad clipped nearly three seconds off of the previous record mark of 7:08.26, which was set a season ago by the same team.
The Big Ten Championships continue on Thursday with a full slate of events. Competition is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. with the 500 freestyle prelims and finals are set for a 6:30 p.m. start.
