I just posted a new Channel 9 interview on a nifty little feature which isn't so little when you look at it from the compiler. In this interview, Tyler Whitney, a developer on the Visual Basic compiler team demonstrates how line termination has changed in the Visual Basic 10 compiler making underscores unnecessary as line continuation indicators. Woot!
This makes your code more readable especially when writing multi-line LINQ queries. It's also really handy not to have to worry about them when writing multi-line lambdas, a new feature of Visual Basic 10. Check out Tyler's blog post that explains the details.
Yes it's true, many underscores are unemployed so the team has created a support group for them at www.unemployedunderscores.com :-)
PingBack from http://www.anith.com/?p=23671
I am new to VB.Net, developing an application.
I am using Sql Server Management Studio 2008 and VB 2008.
In my Database There is two tables i.e. Current_All and Payments.
In Payments table there is only two comman fields Account_ID and Amount.
I just wanted to update amount from Payments into Current_All on the basis
of Account_ID. I map those accounts and filled an Unbound DataGrid.
Now I want to update these Accounts into Current_All.
Either I can update directly from Payments to Current_All table or
update table(Current_All) from unbound datagrid but dont know how??
Pls help me out with some code example. Here is code below
how I mapped the data and filled Datagrid:
Dim q = From c In db.Current_All _
Group Join o In db.Payments On c.Account_ID Equals
o.Account_ID Into Payment = Group _
Let BiP = c.BP _
From o In Payment Select New With {c.Account_ID, o.Amount, BiP}
Me.DataGridView1.DataSource = q
Great feature to remove _
thanks a lot
Now all that is needed is allowing square brackets [ ] for arrays, instead of or in addition to using ( ).

The US economy faces a difficult time ahead as consumers stop spending and the fallout escalates from the collapse of the commercial real estate market, economist Nouriel Roubini told CNBC.
Repeating his prediction that the economy faces a threat of a "double-dip" recession and at best a slow-growth U-shaped recovery, Roubini said in a live interview that more banks will fail and residential real estate prices have more room to decline.
Additionally, non-government bonds will face pressure, the securitization market is all but dead, the credit markets are still frozen and consumers will continue to save more rather than spend and boost growth.
"It's going to be death by a thousand cuts," said Roubini, chairman of RGE Monitor and economics professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. "The financial system is severely damaged, and it's not just the banks."
Roubini predicted more than 1,000 financial institutions could fail before all is said and done.

Swansea lead United at half-timeComment on this story
Manchester - Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-yueng scored the first goal of the 2014-15 Premier League season when he put his side 1-0 up at Manchester United on Saturday.
The South Korea international, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland, steered a pass from Gylfi Sigurdsson into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the box in the 28th minute at Old Trafford.
The goal was a setback for new United manager Louis van Gaal in his first competitive game at the club.
United finished in seventh place in the Premier League last season - their lowest finish since 1990.

More on the Front-Loaded contract investigation … Sharks offering Clowe and 1st for Kaberle? Phillips and Sens talking extension
- Helene Elliott via twitter: She thinks the Kings are figuring Kovalchuk and the Devils will rework their deal.
- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: Kovalchuk's agent hasn't discussed the KHL with him. SKA wants Kovalchuk to let them know what he wants. His Russian agent has said that SKA has 1 to 8 year offers, and an "up to you" offer where Kovalchuk picks the terms.
- Tim Panaccio via twitter: Chris Pronger won't be ready for training camp, and may be ready for the season opener, his knee has atrophy.
- Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: The NHL has been investigating Roberto Luongo's contract for a year, they only "conditionally" approved it. The League wasn't happy with the Canucks and they would checking in to see if the Canucks were attempting to circumvent the salary cap. The investigation has no timelines, and is on-going. The Canucks were told to take the last 2 years off the contract, making it a 10-year, $64 million deal. That would make the new salary cap number $6.4 million instead of $5.3 million. If they did that, the Leauge would give the deal their blessing. The NHL wanted all emails, paperwork, voice mails, etc. and interviewed GM Gillis and their cap expert. It's believed that Pronger and Hossa had the same investigation, the players have not cooperated. Nothing may happen to the Luongo contract, as they've finished the investigative work and nothing has been done. Also, Luongo's deal never pays less that $1 million.
- Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly: Chris Pronger's 7 year, $34.45 million contract will continue to be investigated despite going into effect July 1st. Bill Daly wrote, "No timetable and no deadline. Yes, the contract can be de-registered in the event a circumvention is found. Nothing is different than before [Ilya] Kovalchuk ruling." Peter Luukko, the Flyers president, stands behind the deal, and thinks it doesn't hold relevance to Kovalchuk's contract.
- Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersberg Times: Bill Daly says the NHL doesn't have any problems with Vincent Lecavalier's 11 year contract, that pays him an average of $7.727. It is front loaded, but not to the extent of some of the others, and only takes him to the age of 39.
- NHL Sources Say via twitter: Teams interested in Kaberle are the Bruins, Stars, Kings, Devils, Sharks and Lightning. Sharks offering Clowe and 1st round pick, Burke not interested in draft picks. (The 27-year old Clowe has a cap hit of $3.625 million for the next 3 years. If this offer for Kaberle is true, it might be one that Burke has to consider).
- Nicholas Cotsonika of Yahoo! Sports: "The deadline is Sunday, and I don't expect to see anyone's best cards until probably Friday," Burke said. "That being said, the offers improved dramatically over the weekend. We're at a double-digit number of teams that are in. Unilaterally, without any phone calls from us, two teams dramatically improved their offer over the weekend. It's going the way I thought it would go."
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators and Chris Phillips are talking contract extension. Phillips would be a UFA next summer.
- Jim Gintonio via twitter: The Phoenix Coyotes continue to negotiate with both Lee Stempniak and Martin Hanzel, though nothing is iminant with either.
- Dmitry Chesnokov via twitter: Vladimir Tarasenko, a St. Louis Blues 2010 1st round pick (16th overall), is close to signing a deal with Sibir of the KHL. Chesnokov has said in the past that he would be staying in Russia for at least another year, despite other reports.
- RDS: Reporting that Eric Belanger has signed a 1 year deal with someone, but can't disclose who just yet. Yesterday there were reports that it could be the Maple Leafs, but other said that was not the case. James Mirtle via twitter says Belanger is not signing with the Leafs. NHLSourcesSay via twitter: Deal not being announced as the team is preparing a trade that impacts the salary cap.

We're plugging away on the Worldchanging book, and since you guys always have great ideas, we're coming to you again for some tips and suggestions.
One section of the book covers placemaking in cities, including the creation of great public spaces. We've covered a lot of these ideas before. We know a lot about what governments have done to encourage the emergence of great places.
What we're looking for now, specifically, are grassroots examples of groups who have created neighborhood places through a combination of community cooperation and citizen action on urban design. What group in your city has taken an unloved or underutilized space and through hard work and advocacy made it a place people love to be in? What did they do? How did they do it? Or what resources might you recommend for other local groups looking to make their communities more welcoming, walkable, beautiful and enjoyable?
We're eager to hear your thoughts!
I remember reading something about Soweto shanty township (!?) being fairly successful in terms of layout. I will need to go trawling through some back issues of New Scientist, or Scientific American for the exact reference (it was used as example of the goemetric factors that govern town planning)
"...grassroots examples of groups who have created neighborhood places through a combination of community cooperation and citizen action on urban design."
Two words: Burning Man. I haven't been to one yet myself, but from what I've read the event fufills the criteria stated above (with the possible exception of urban design), and also serves as a breeding ground for novel forms of art, culture, and activism.
"What group in your city has taken an unloved or underutilized space and through hard work and advocacy made it a place people love to be in?"
The first example in Seattle that comes to mind would be the P-Patch gardens sprinkled around the city. The basic idea is that vacant lots are turned into community run gardens, that yield 7-10 tons of organic produce per year for the city's food banks. More at: http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/ppatch/
"Or what resources might you recommend for other local groups looking to make their communities more welcoming, walkable, beautiful and enjoyable?"
Well, I think ther are a couple basic rules for making a city more enjoyable.
Rule #1: Fight gentrification. Nothing robs a city of its personaity and lovable idiosyncracies like a homogenous landscape. Support your local independent businesses, and boycott the corporate ones that pop up on every corner (*cough* Starbucks! *cough*). And if some new bright and shiny corporate store wants to move into your neighborhood, protest it. Seriously. Because if you think Walmart is the only corporation that ruins communities, you've got another thing coming.
Rule #2: Greener is better. One of the things I always hated about living in Chicago was the monliths of cement and steel everywhere and the horrendous parks system.
A playground and sporting facilities spotted with a handful of trees is not a park.
A pointless gigantic metal bean and video wall fountain, with a smattering of trees is not a park.
What is a park? Come to Seattle and you'll find out (they don't call it the Emerald City for nothing). The parks here are big and BEAUTIFUL. There are trees everywhere, many of them quite old and reaching to towering heights. My favorite by far is Volunteer Park, as in addition to the above it also has a couple of lily ponds (which I find very relaxing), an observation tower, conservatory, and is home to the Asian Art Museum. Culture, relaxation, and natural beauty. You really can't ask for more from a park.
City Repair's Village Building Convergence is by far the best example I've seen. http://vbc.cityrepair.org/vbc6/static.php?page=aboutthevbc They started in Portland, OR and are spreading like wildfire. Here in Oakland, CA we have our own brand of placemaking. http://eastbay.cityrepair.org/
So much fun and evolutionary to boot!
Sounds like City Repair in Portland, Oregon fits the bill. CR is a grassroots organization that does small projects together, such as creating a neighborhood square from an intersection.
you might want to look at an local association called "urbanisme et democratie" (http://u.d.free.fr) in paris.
it started in the early 1990s as a reaction to the city's decision to build big buildings in an area of paris which had been set aside since the late 1970s to eventually become a green space due to the lack of public green spaces in that neighborhood.
after actively mobilizing the residents of the neighborhood, the association won the case (first time in paris i believe) and a block party spontaneously took place in the neighborhood.
ever since, this association has kept working on counter-propositions regarding local urbanism. the block parties have also become a tradition.
if you want more info, i can help you translate the history described on their website (http://u.d.free.fr/article.php3?id_article=65) and put you in contact with people from the association.
If you have not already done so, you should check out the city repair project in Portland, OR. They do some great projects, including organizing the Village Building Convergence (VBC) every year in PDX.
Here is some info from their website:
The City Repair Project is group of citizen activists creating public gathering places and helping others to creatively transform the places where they live.
With a mostly volunteer staff and the help of hundreds of volunteer citizen activists, our many projects:
* educate people about why most American neighborhoods are socially isolating and culturally inactive, and how we can transform them from the grassroots,
* inspire people to both understand themselves as part of a larger community and fulfill their own creative potential, and
* activate people to be part of the communities around them, as well as part of the decision-making that shapes the future of their communities.
A neighbor presents a proposal at the Division Street placemaking workshop, July 2001 at the Red and Black Cafe. City Repair was formed in Portland, Oregon in 1996 by citizen activists who wanted a more community-oriented and ecologically sustainable society. Born out of a successful grassroots neighborhood initiative that converted a residential street intersection into a neighborhood public square, City Repair began its work with the idea that localization (of culture, of economy, of decision-making) is a necessary foundation of sustainability. By reclaiming urban spaces to create community-oriented places, we plant the seeds for greater neighborhood communication, empower our communities and nurture our local culture.
You may want to have a look at Eco Quartier program running in Montreal, Quebec.
The program is about engaging people in their neighbourhoods for environmental and social goals.
The program has good connections to the Velo Quebec program, who have developed a Green Cycle route throughout Montreal, and south of the city.
Great suggestions. Thanks. Keep 'em coming!
The Intervale in Burlington, Vermont.
Not directly an answer to your question, but you might want to look at the book, "The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces" by the late William Whyte.
I live in the general vicinity of the CERES community environment park in Brunswick, Melbourne (Australia). This may serve as a pertinent example of a grassroots community transforming an urban space.
Project for Public Spaces, based in New York, have done a lot to enhance urban placemaking over the years, and are a great resource.
A few interesting examples of successful placemaking, completed or proposed, that come to mind are:
* The Viaduc des Arts/Promenade Plantée in Paris, a disused rail viaduct that became an urban greenway. The Westside High Line in New York, featured in this month's Metropolis Magazine, proposes a similar re-use of an elevated viaduct as a somewhat wilder linear park.
* A few cities have torn down freeways and re-used the rights-of-way for public space, housing, and parks. We have three examples in San Francisco, including the Octavia Boulevard and Hayes Green where the Central Freeway used to be, the Embarcadero roadway where the Embarcadero Freeway used to be, and the Giants baseball park where the stub end of interstate 280 used to be. New York's Hudson River parkway and Boston's Rose Kennedy Greenway are former elevated freeway sites converted to parks and public open spaces. Milwaukee and Seattle have also explored the idea of removing elevated freeways and create surface boulevards with new park spaces.
* San Francisco Beautiful gives awards each year on inspiring urban placemaking projects, usually initated by residents. Seattle's office of neighborhoods used to fund grassroots greening and placemaking projects when Jim Diers ran the program.
* Many European cities have pedestrianized their historic cores; Copenhagen is one of the best, and architect Jan Gehl deserves a lot of the credit. His book, The Space Between Buildings, is a good placemaking resource. Barcelona's creative parks and boulevards are also inspiring. Mr. Gehl recently did a plan for Transport for London with strategies for turning central London, freed from gridlock by the congestion charge, into a great walking city. The Trafalgar Square renovation designed by Norman Foster's firm is a good start. Alvaro Siza has a plan for greening the Paseo del Prado, but I haven't been able to find good online resources about it. Paris's weekend street closures, including the frontage roads on the Seine, create spaces for walking and cycling, and are a great example of how to temporarily reclaim road space for recreation.

Jeremy Kirouac
The PBS series Edens Lost and Found examines how activists are restoring urban environments by connecting people with their communities.
Here in Seattle, we've started a process that is engaging non-profits, businesses, citizens and governmental leaders to envision how our public/open spaces might look in 100 years. Basically, we are taking our existing stock of Olmsted Brothers designed spaces and retrofitting it to a network of green runnning in, around and through the city.It is getting a lot of support from community groups and other orgs. We'd love to have anyone on the list join our Green Futures charrette. Check us out at open2100.org.
A project involving the historic red light district of the harbor of Antwerp has just received a prestigious price for public involvement in urban projects. The people of the neighborhood wanted to get rid of the bad name and unpleasant atmosphere of the quartier, and turned it into a public landmark, through a deep participatory process of debating and consulting with a multitude of stake-holders.
Please find it here:
The neighborhood is now hip with artists, hot with tourists (the ordinary ones), and safe and nice for the s_ex workers (se_x work is a legal business in Belgium). The old typical inhabitants of the quarter now feel revived and integrated in the city again.

A novela I wrote, not much to day about it really.
Well… Enjoy.
"What did you say?" Sean asked, genuinely taken aback.
"You're a monster, you're not my brother. I won't help you! I wouldn't even if I had what you're looking for," Kisara said evenly. She would stand up to the monster of despair and pain that had enslaved Sean, even if it cost her everything she had. Which, she thought, it probably would.
Sean started laughing. He threw up his head and let out an evil, powerful cackle. He turned to her, his eyes practically glowing. "You're right of course, I am a monster. But so are you! And everyone else! We're all the same! Sinners! Unworthy of the life we've been given! You think you can escape? No one escapes! We're all doomed, every last one of us!"
He lunged forward and grabbed Kisara by the hair, pressing his lips onto hers violently; smothering her. "Lust!"
He pulled away from her for a moment. "Greed!" he ran his hand down her waist. "Gluttony!" he kissed her again. "Sloth!" he tugged on her hair. "Envy!" his hand caressed her neck, chocking her. "Pride!" he cackled, throwing his head back.
"Wrath!" he slapped her across the face, throwing her to the ground at the same time. He stood over her, shaking with fury but laughing hysterically at the same time. Kisara started at him, in shock and in terror.
"The seven deadly sins. Which is yours, Kisara? Pride? Lust? Greed? Or perhaps all three," he muttered to her in between chocking laughter.
Kisara couldn't stop looking into his eyes; they were so full of hatred. It was sickening. She stood up, determined not to kneel before him. "You're discussing! You're not even a person; you're less than that."
"You are no more than I am and you will give me the key before the end!" he said. Turning his attention away from her he singled to two men of the crew who immediately rushed forward to do his bidding. They each grabbed one of her arms and started dragging her to the middle of the deck.
A third pirate opened a trap door on the floor and held it open. The other two pushed her in and she stumbled down the stairs into a dark room. The trap door thudded closed behind her with a deafening slam leaving Kisara in darkness.

It's been seven years and Polish businessman Andrzej Kompa is still waiting for repayment on a $2 million loan made to the North Korean embassy in Poland for renovations to their Warsaw digs back in 2005.
Apparently, the loan was to be repaid by revenue taken in from fees the North Korean delegation would earn by renting out part of the building. (I suppose it might be a novelty spot for anniversary's, business meetings, breakdance competitions, etc.)
In 2009, the diplomatic corps was rotated and Kompa hoped to fare better getting his money from the incoming staff. Fat chance on that. The newly minted NK officials held his documents up to a light and declared them forgeries. "No rent for you!"
Perhaps Kompa made the mistake of bringing along big-boobed assistants to woo his debtors.
Kompa should have done his due diligence and consulted the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations before loaning money to the Norkos. It states that business activities are not to be carried out from a property with diplomatic status. The whole idea of renting the place out was a no go from the get go. Kompa claims this that it's common practice and that Polish officials are using international law to avoid confronting the North Koreans.
In June of last year he filed a $35,000 lawsuit in polish courts hoping to get something out of the deal gone awry, but the court refused to hear the case since diplomatic code gives the embassy no legal status anyway.
"It appears a positive judgment before a Polish court will do nothing for me anyway, but there is no way I will go to a court in Pyongyang about this," a furious and frustrated Mr Kompa told the newspaper. "The money owed to me has gone to Pyongyang and who knows where they have invested it. Perhaps in the nuclear programme."
So that's where they got the money. You can read the rest of The Telegraph article here.
According to NK News.org, cash-strapped North Korean embassies are typically expected to be self-reliant and fund themselves through business activities of some sort in their host country. This raises some interesting possibilities for revenue streams, to be sure.
On a side note, the Poles obviously have a good sense of humor.

Range Extenders for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air 2013-2023
We are in the decade of the hybrid electric vehicle despite the fact that most off road and underwater vehicles are pure electric. That includes most forklifts, golf cars and mobility vehicles for the disabled plus Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and personal submarines. Indeed, most electric aircraft are pure electric as well. The reason is that these are mainly small as are electric two-wheelers, which are also almost all pure electric. Small vehicles rarely need to travel long distances. In addition, these pure electric vehicles are often used where a conventional engine is banned as on lakes and indoors or where it is impracticable as with underwater vehicles. By contrast, half t...

After a month that helped catapult the Vikings to the playoffs, Adrian Peterson and Blair Walsh were honored Thursday, Jan. 3, for their work.
Peterson was named NFC offensive player of the month for December, winning the award for the first time in his career. Walsh became the first Vikings kicker to be selected NFC special teams player of the month since Fuad Reveiz in 1994 and the second Vikings player to earn NFC special teams player of the month this season, after Percy Harvin did it in September.
Peterson ran for 861 yards in five December games, setting an NFL record for rushing yards in a month. He also ran for five touchdowns, caught a TD pass and finished the season nine yards short of Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.
Walsh, who was also named NFC special teams player of the week after hitting three field goals in the Vikings' 37-34 win over the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 30, hit 11 of the 12 field goals he attempted in December. He ended the year 10-for-10 on field goals of 50 yards or longer, an NFL record for field goals from that distance. He also set a single-game record with three field goals from 50 yards or longer Dec. 16 against the St. Louis Rams.

Clarendon County, SC (WLTX) - A Clarendon County man is in jail after deputies say he led them on a chase and fought with them when they tried to arrest him.
The entire event was recorded on dash cam video.
Sean Jarvis, 49, is charged with failure to stop, resisting arrest, and open container.
The situation began on January 22nd when Clarendon County's 911 dispatch received a call about a burgundy truck driving reckless on Interstate 95. When deputies spotted the truck at a gas station, they approached the driver.
The officer asked him to get out of the car, but deputies say dash cam video shows Jarvis take off.
An incident report says Deputy Tim Baxley's brakes locked up, slamming his car into the back of the truck he was chasing.
"The suspect had gone about a mile and the deputy slammed into him," said Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett. "The deputy slid sideways trying to avoid him and put the suspect in the ditch."
But that's not the end of the story.
"He [Jarvis] said he was trapped in the vehicle and the deputy called for the fire truck and the ambulance and went back to check on him and found out he wasn't trapped. "
That's when deputies say Jarvis began to fight.
"Two different officers used a taser and well as a whole can of pepper spray that didn't effect him," Garrett said.
However, Jarvis eventually relented. Sheriff Garrett said it's just another day in law enforcement
"Nothing is ever routine and who knows what the next day will bring."
The arresting deputy did receive a concussion in the crash, but was set to return to work Friday.

The Big Threatener.
In a new autobiography, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal admits that he told former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant that he would kill him.
O'Neal and Bryant teamed up for three titles with the Lakers but engaged in a public war of words that eventually led the Lakers to trade O'Neal to the Miami Heat. In his new book, Shaq Uncut: My Story, O'Neal says he took issue with Bryant giving public statements about how he was out of shape and faking an injury after Lakers brass requested the two stop squawking. O'Neal was so upset about the comments, he writes, that he threatened to murder Bryant during an argument about Bryant's sexual assault case in Colorado.
Here's an excerpt posted on Deadspin.com.
Kobe stands up and goes face-to-face with me and says, "You always said you're my big brother, you'd do anything for me, and then this Colorado thing happens and you never even called me." I did call him. ... So here we are now, and we find out he really was hurt that we didn't stand behind him. That was something new. I didn't think he gave a rat's ass about us either way. "Well, I thought you'd publicly support me, at least," Kobe said. "You're supposed to be my friend."Wow. Well, it clearly got personal. There wasn't ever much doubt about that.
Brian Shaw chimed in with "Kobe, why would you think that? Shaq had all these parties and you never showed up for any of them. We invited you to dinner on the road and you didn't come. Shaq invited you to his wedding and you weren't there. Then you got married and didn't invite any of us. And now you are in the middle of this problem, this sensitive situation, and now you want all of us to step up for you. We don't even know you." ... Everyone was starting to calm down when I told Kobe, "If you ever say anything like what you said to Jim Gray ever again, I will kill you."
Kobe shrugged and said, "Whatever."
How seriously should we take O'Neal's threat here? O'Neal has tried to establish a law enforcement career but has also been involved in a number of suits that allege all sorts of crazy behavior, including kidnapping and hit men. I suppose if Bryant reacted dismissively, the danger can't have been that real. But the dysfunction was as authentic as it gets.
O'Neal announced his retirement from the NBA back in June and joined TNT as an NBA commentator in July.

Scott Horton Interviews Scott Horton
The Other Scott Horton (no relation), international human rights lawyer, professor and contributing editor at Harper's magazine, discusses Attorney General Eric Holder's likely appointment of a prosecutor to investigate torture, the common misconception that the CIA pressed the White House to allow "enhanced" interrogations, Dick Cheney's chicken-hawk tendencies and the potential bombshell Inspector General's report on U.S. torture practices.
MP3 here. (32:25)
The other Scott Horton both writes the No Comment blog and is a Contributing Editor for Harper's Magazine. A New York attorney known for his work in emerging markets and international law, especially human rights law and the law of armed conflict, Horton lectures at Columbia Law School. A life-long human rights advocate, Scott served as counsel to Andrei Sakharov and Elena Bonner, among other activists in the former Soviet Union. He is a co-founder of the American University in Central Asia, and has been involved in some of the most significant foreign investment projects in the Central Eurasian region. Scott recently led a number of studies of abuse issues associated with the conduct of the war on terror for the New York City Bar Association, where he has chaired several committees, including, most recently, the Committee on International Law. He is also a member of the board of the National Institute of Military Justice, the Andrei Sakharov Foundation, the EurasiaGroup and the American Branch of the International Law Association.
6 Responses to "Scott Horton"
Obviously Scott Horton (the lawyer) is uniformed because the Republican party today IS the party of Lincoln. Not that Jefferson Davis was some sort of angel, but the great centralizer/mass-murderer Lincoln would feel right at home in today's GOP. Read Thomas DiLorenzo's great work on LRC (or his books) to expose the myth of "Honest Abe".
"Brian" —
Read the US Constitution, and by that means learn that it not only limits the Federal gov't, it also imposes limits on the STATES, one a prohibition against them forming "confederacies".
Then read the "confederate" constitution: you'll discover it is essentially the same as the US Constitution with one central — difference: its prohibits enacting any laws adversely affecting the institution of slavery; and prohibits any amendments of that constitution which would adversely affect the institution of slavery.
Smearing Lincoln in effort to continue the lie that the South's secessions were not over the issue of slavery is intellectually dishonest. But if you can't handle non-fiction, then see "Riding with the Devil". Both sides committed atroctities; but the Northerners did not murder and scalp African-Americans.
Drop the fake, irresponsible, and short-sighted "grievance" and wake up in the 21st century.
The Party of Lincoln is the Party of Tyrants.
Lincoln Unmasked by Tom DiLorenzo is an excellent factual assessment of the murdering bastard. He was an enemy of all free people.
I hope the current batch of torturers get their due soon.
Maybe Holder does have some balls – I mean all of'em are white guys, right?
I'm not pro-South, the CSA was a coercive monopoly just like the USA. My comment was regarding Lincoln. Lincoln was a murderer and did more to centralize power through usurpation than any prior US president (and paved the way for future tyrants, both domestically, and internationally through example). I stand by my statements which are not fake, irresponsible, or based on any grievance (I have no ties cultural or otherwise to the South).
I said nothing about the South's secession. But you're wrong to assert it was over slavery. For you see, in linear time, cause must precede effect. The Emancipation Proclamation and the subsequent 13th amendment came AFTER the South's secession. There was no pending law to prohibit slavery that provoked the South to secede. In fact, Lincoln was a supporter of the Corwin amendment to the Constitution that would have prevented any interference with the institution of Slavery. If you think the mislabeled Civil war was over slavery, you're really uninformed, or you know better and you're a liar.
Lest you think I'm pro-confederate (an irrelevant point even if it was true), I subscribe only to the recognition of human self-ownership, that is, liberty. ALL government (even in theory) is coercive and therefore incompatible with liberty. Though I recognize that the same grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence against the King of England were almost all also applicable against Lincoln – and thus, if the war for independence in 1776 was just, the war for independence in 1861 was also just – I don't recognize the legitimacy of any government and therefore would not have supported the CSA anymore than I support the USA.
Those who control history control the present and those who control the present control the future. The 21st century is a product of that which came before and the Lincoln myth is a crucial element in the state-worshiping religion that enslaves the people of America. If men are ever to be free, they must know truth, and the truth about Lincoln is a foundational expose in that so many of the lies that prop up the US government have their origins in the Lincoln myth.
If you're posting on antiwar.com, I question why you would have such a kneejerk reaction to defending a president that was aggressively pro-war and murdered so many people. The abolition of chattel slavery was done without bloodshed in all other industrialized nations. The war against the South was completely unnecessary and all that destruction and blood is on Lincoln's hands.
Most countries have civil wars and one side always loses (and suffers for it). Only white US southerners whine and beg for pity over a civil war lost 150 years ago! They're the biggest cry-babies in the world!
Lester Ness
You know, guys, the biggest mass execution in US history was of the leaders of the 1862 Sioux revolt, the Red River War. I personally think Davis, Lee, etc, deserved to hang at least as much as Rain-in-the-face.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Here are a few of my carry tools. I just picked up the Glock 30 - these are fairly hard to come by in MA. I'm loving it so far, very accurate.
The revolver is an S&W scandium .357mag snub-nose with crimson trace laser grips - I've been very please with it as well, although the close to $1,000 price tag was a bit much.
Those will serve well MD tho - indeed the snub is ''lotta bucks''! Can't help thinking that the grips can be bought for around $179 IIRc so what does that make the gun price?!
Anyways - you are well equipped and that is what finally matters. Thx for the pic.

In fact, there are tons of pistols we can't buy, for example, we can not buy ANY new kimber or ANY new H&K :( we can also not buy one out of state and transfer it in.

EWU title picked as the fifth-best moment in the league's 50-year history as Big Sky begins final countdown to No. 1
Link to Big Sky Conference Story and Lists
In the hearts of Eagles, it was worthy of No. 1.
Eastern Washington University's sensational run to the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship has been selected as the fifth-best moment in the 50-year history of the Big Sky Conference, the league announced Thursday (April 24).
Lists of the top 50 moments and top 50 athletes of all-time have been compiled throughout the year in celebration of the league's 50th anniversary. The Eagles have been recognized with six of the top 50 men's athletes, and in six of the top 50 men's moments. Eastern has also earned two spots each on the list of 25 all-time women's athletes and 25 all-time women's moments in celebration of 25 years the league has sponsored women's athletics.
But the crowning moment for Eastern was when the Eagles used a "Why not us?" attitude to stun FCS football with the 2010 national title.
"I think every year it's going to mean more and more as you reflect back," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "The further you get away from it, the more you appreciate that championship, the hard work that went into it and the way it was accomplished."
The Eagles had a great football legacy to that point, but the 2010 season was nothing short of magical. Thanks to a come-from-behind victory in the title game, Eastern won its final 11 games of the season after entering the year just 13th in the preseason rankings.
Eastern won the title with four-straight playoff wins, including a 20-19 victory over Delaware in the championship game on Jan. 7, 2011, at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. The Eagles scored three touchdowns in the final 16:48 of the game to rally from a 19-0 deficit and end their season with a school-record 13 victories (13-2 overall). Eastern finished 8-0 on its new, red Sprinturf surface at Roos Field (formerly Woodward Field), including three playoff games.
In particular, the overtime playoff victory against North Dakota State tested Eastern's mettle, as the Eagles had to go on a 13-play, 90-yard drive to knot the game with 23 seconds to play in regulation. Eastern was no stranger to narrow victories, with nine of Eastern's wins coming by an average of 6.2 points per game, including seven decided by seven points or less. Of those nine games, the Eagles trailed or were tied in the fourth quarter of six of them, in one they trailed in the third quarter and in the other two they were scoreless in the final stanza.
As a result of their success, the Eagles won a pair of prestigious awards. They were the "Sports Story of the Year" at the 77th Annual Sports Star of the Year awards show in Seattle, Wash., and the Inland Northwest Sportswriters and Broadcasters (SWABS) selected Eastern as its Team of the Year.
And ever since, Baldwin has witnessed the benefits. Entering the 2014 season, Eastern has advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs in three of the last four seasons, and has a 42-13 overall record (76 percent) and 27-5 conference mark (84 percent) in that span.
"Four years removed from it, we are able to see the things that 2010 championship season was able to launch," said Baldwin. "Whether it was ticket sales, the game-day atmosphere, the new scoreboard or an increase in alumni and fan support, it provided the energy about the program. There are a lot of factors that go into it, but that 2010 season definitely had an impact.
"In addition, it benefitted the University as a whole through admissions and former alums who had nothing to do with athletics to that point," he added. "They felt an appreciation for what was accomplished and walk around with a proud feeling. I know it's always there, but it was intensified by the kind of run we were so fortunate to be a part of in 2010."
MORE ON THE BIG SKY'S 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
After 50 years of competition, the Big Sky Conference has begun a year-long journey celebrating the league's success both on and off the playing field by honoring 50 years of men's athletics and 25 years of women's athletics.
The 50th anniversary will celebrate the all-time individuals, teams and moments in the Big Sky's history, including the selection of the league's Top 50 male student-athletes and the top 25 female student-athletes. Along with the lists, the league will unveil the most memorable moments for both men's and women's competition.

So Anya, the 9-year-old granddaughter, says, "Grandpa, you wanna race?"
And I had an immediate flashback, a memory from more than 20 years ago, when my son, Matt, and his friend, Derek, both members of the high school track team, challenged me to a race.
They were 15, or thereabouts, which would have made me in my early-40s. Let's just put it this way -- I was well past my prime.
But I was still playing Central League baseball, so I wasn't completely over the hill yet. On the crest of the hill for sure, but not on the downhill side.
Anyway, my competitive instincts kicked in, and I took them up on their challenge. Doggoned whippersnappers. To be honest, I expected to lose the race, but I wasn't about to give in to them without making them work for it.
So the three of us -- the two boys talking trash to the old man the entire time -- lined up along the first base line at the baseball field. The finish line was 90 feet away at second base. That was their choice, but it probably worked to my advantage.
Anyway, one of the boys said "Go," and off we went.
I'll make a long story a little shorter -- I won the race. By several strides, in fact.
I don't brag about it much, but I do remind my son of it every now and again when he gets a little uppity.
All I can say is thank goodness they didn't wait another 10 years and challenge me to another race. By then I would have been easy pickings.
Anyway, I have a little bit of experience being challenged to races by young 'uns who don't know any better.
Anya's looking up at me now, smiling with that big Cheshire cat grin I love so much. "Well, Grandpa," she said, "are you going to race me or not?"
Are you sure you want to do this? I asked.
You're not going to get mad if you lose? I asked.
Well, then I guess I'll race you.
It was a stupid thing to say. Really. I'm 64, going on 65 in a huge rush, and I hadn't run 20 feet, make that 10 feet, in probably five or six years, at least.
And for 10 years before that, when I ran it was barely a jog.
And, to be honest, even in my prime I didn't remind anyone of Jesse Owens.
I was always quicker than I was fast.
Anyway, Anya wanted to race. Why? I don't know. She's not particularly athletic. She'd normally prefer to read a book than run a race. Or so I thought.
I think I must have looked particularly old and broken down that day, and she viewed me as an easy mark.
Anyway, we lined up along the sidewalk and my daughter, Stacy, walked about 100 feet down the street to a fire hydrant that was the finish line.
Old man versus the third-grader.
Ready. Get set. Go.
And off we went. Neck and neck for about 40 feet, then I pulled ahead. Then my legs started to wobble. I am terribly out of shape. After years of playing various sports, baseball in particular, I suddenly felt like I'd never done anything athletic.
In fact, I was beginning to feel like I might fall on my face any second. My body parts were moving on their own, and I had little control over them. Just put one foot in front of the other, I kept telling myself.
In a flash, I was more concerned about doing a face-plant on the macadam then I was about winning the race.
And Anya started gaining on me.
Just stay on your feet. Don't fall down. Don't embarrass yourself. And for God's sake, don't have a heart attack.
Anya edged closer and closer.
My legs struggled to keep me upright. I was like a runaway train, out of control, muscle memory failing me, huffing and puffing and straining for the finish line.
OK, I won.
By about a stride-and-a-half. Nothing to get excited about.
To her credit, Anya took the loss like a champ. In fact, she had hardly crossed the finish line before she asked if I wanted to go for a long walk.
I was thinking "nap."
She was thinking "a long walk" around the neighborhood. Up hills and down. Steep hills.
So I went for a walk. It's what grandfathers do, I guess.
Anyway, off we went, the two young redheads, Anya and Lorelei, and me.
It's what memories are made of, for them, of course, and for me.
It'll be forever remembered, written in family history, as the day Grandpa beat Anya in a race and lived to tell the story.

MacBooks based on Intel's new Core i5 processors can't be too far off.
The upcoming processor, which puts two processor cores and a graphics function together in the same chip package, is the shape of things to come.
Nvidia can be seen as being in the mobile sweet spot. It offers graphics chips for higher-end PCs and its Tegra 3 chip for high-performance tablets.
Following Intel's announcement that it will resume shipments of its newest silicon, will Apple move MacBooks posthaste to new Intel chips?
The FTC has been looking into whether Intel engaged in anticompetitive behavior against Nvidia. An expert weighs in on the tech behind the case.
Performance laptops based on Intel's Core i5 processor are pushing out the older Core 2 laptops. Meanwhile, the Mac maker sticks to its Core 2 guns.
The new "Arrandale" graphics technology has 20 percent more shaders, an important component for 3D graphics, the chipmaker says.
The most power efficient of Intel's Core i series of processors will debut in new laptops, starting this month.
A theory goes that a new MacBook Air has been delayed due to an Intel chip shipment snafu. So, what's going on?
An e-mail sent to Intel retailers highlights an upcoming MacBook Pro with a Core i5 processor ahead of any formal announcement by Apple.

Dowhill street racer
March 3rd, 2011
This footage from the helmetcam of a rider in the 2010 Valparaiso Cerro Abajo cycle race is astonishing.
I think my favourite moment comes at the 1 minute 55 second mark. This is the point at which the course designer decided that having the cyclist ride on the road was boring. Far better to set the rider the challenge of riding along a wall instead for a couple of seconds, just to relieve the tedium.
These riders are certifiable. Brave, fit and highly skilled, mind you, but certifiable nonetheless.

This is the road to the Parliament in Nay Pyi Taw (Naypyidaw), the purpose-built new capital of Burma. It is 20 lanes wide – 10 each way and you could land a 747 on it – perhaps its original purpose? Except that it is a little undulating. And it clearly fixes congestion – there is no traffic! Or is that due to the fact that you need permission to visit Nya Pyi Taw? Whatever the situation, this is clearly a road of national significance. I think Steven Joyce lacks ambition for NZ……

Labour with Auckland will deliver City Rail LinkPosted by Phil Twyford on October 30th, 2011
When National set up the Auckland super city they loved to say they were doing it so Auckland could speak with one voice. Well Aucklanders have spoken. They want a world class transport system, starting with the City Rail Link. But National is not listening.
Labour is. At a rally today at Beresford Square, just off Karangahape Rd and site of a future underground rail station, Phil Goff announced Labour in Government will contribute one-half of the cost of the City Rail Link ($1.2 bn). The other half will be the responsibility of Auckland Council.
The Rail Link is the centrepiece of the Auckland Council's draft plan. It will double the capacity of the city's rail network by making Britomart a through-station, and adding underground stations at Aotea (Wellesley & Albert), K Rd, and Newton. And as the Council's internationally peer-reviewed study showed, it will transform the city centre.
To pay for it we will cancel Steven Joyce's pet project, the Puhoi-Wellsford holiday highway, freeing up $1.69 billion, and quickly implement the $320m Operation Lifesaver plan to fix the highway's crash black spots and bottlenecks.
As Phil Goff said at the rally to announce the pledge, the city rail link is the next step in building a modern Auckland public transport system. Without it, Auckland will never meet its ambition of being the world's most liveable city. Aucklanders know we simply cannot continue building more and more motorways.
Aucklanders now have a clear choice: a vote for Labour is a vote for the City Rail Link, and a partnership between central government and the Auckland Council to deliver the world's most liveable city. A vote for National is a vote for motorways and sprawl, and a Government doing its best to sabotage Auckland's desire for a world class transport system.
More detail on the policy here.

FRESNO, Calif. – A Modesto man was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for possessing child pornography, the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Fresno County Sheriff's Office and the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Iberto Morales, 31, pleaded guilty Jan. 6. According to court documents, in February 2013 Iberto possessed between 300 and 600 images showing minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Many of the images portrayed very young children engaged in sadism, masochism and violence.
"Today's prison sentence is a reminder of the serious crime that is committed when images of innocent children are illegally traded in cyberspace," said Mike Prado, resident agent in charge of HSI Fresno. "Targeting these predators is a top priority for HSI. We will work tirelessly to end this type of despicable child exploitation."
Morales was originally indicted on for possession of child pornography in February 2013. Since he had a prior conviction, Morales faced a minimum statutory period of confinement of 10 years.
This investigation was conducted under HSI's Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators. Since the launch of Operation Predator in 2003, HSI has arrested more than 10,000 individuals for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child pornography, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children. In fiscal year 2013, more than 2,000 individuals were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative.
HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST.
For additional information about wanted suspected child predators, download HSI's Operation Predator smartphone app or visit the online suspect alerts page.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

500 Startups is one of world's top accelerators. Being part of a batch doesn't only open many doors for startups, it also teaches founders knowledge that's hard to find anywhere else. Patai Padungtin, a founder of Thailand-based startup Builk, knows that from experience.
Patai's company was invited to be one of the 30 startups in 500 Startups' seventh batch last October. That made Builk the first startup from Thailand to ever participate in the accelerator. But before going in, Patai questioned whether this is what he really wanted and what his goals were. The company was recently funded and he didn't need more money at that point. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go, but ended up going anyway.
It turned out to be a good decision.
Good track record
Builk is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that allows construction companies to manage their construction projects. Started up back in 2010, Builk is known as a pioneer of Thailand's startup industry. Patai, as one of the country's early tech entrepreneurs, is an inspiration to many new-comer entrepreneurs and is sometimes referred to as Thailand's startup godfather. Now the word "startup" has entered the vocabulary in Thailand.
Builk won the Echelon 2012 Launchpad event and received $400,000 in funding from Project Planning Service. It was ranked as one of the top five Southeast Asian startups at DEMO ASEAN last year.
That all happened before leaping into the 500 Startups program.
Doubts before heading to the Valley
It's normal to jump for joy when you're accepted into something or pass a major hurdle in life. However, Patai believes it's mandatory for there to be some self-reflection about a major event – in this case, to doubt your company and ask yourself if this is what you really want as a founder.
In fact, a founder should worry about that. Before going into such a program, Patai says a startup should know what they want from an accelerator – not only from 500 Startups. Don't just go for the sake of going; the team must be ready. Think about leaving your team for a few months. Can it run by itself? Is your startup at too early a stage that it can't function without a founder?
It's important to raise those questions before jumping into anything.
(See: Builk's Linna Kanoknitanan: a COO is like a midfielder in a soccer team)
It's Big Brother house meets MBA school
It took Patai two months to adjust to the new life in Silicon Valley. Since he's not from a tech background, there was quite a cultural difference. He says the program is like living in the Big Brother house. There are a lot of dreamers there. But it remains important to ask yourself why you're there.
Patai's expectation was to learn from the pros on how to scale his business. The first thing he said on the stage at 500 Startups was, "I'm not here for the money but for the education and networking." He knows that the 500 Startups name opens doors in the tech world. Although the mentors pointed out that they are not in Asia and do not know about the construction industry, they still managed to give out the best advice. Even with that, Patai says it's important for startups to do the homework themselves. He adds:
Being in a good accelerator program is like attending a good MBA school. Funding is a graduation.
Be inspired but don't get swayed
Surrounded by lots of sources of great advice, you can easily get swayed. According to Patai, it's like a utopia there. Everyone at 500 Startups is optimistic and believes in the startup ecosystem. But once you're back in Asia, the reality hits. We're not there yet and not everyone understands the industry. Nevertheless, feel inspired. Everyone there gives feedback without expecting anything in return.
Although he saw opportunities in the US, he believes there are problems to solve in Thailand still. With all the advice taken into mind from many people at 500 Startups, Patai decided he had to focus on Asia and distribution – sometimes dubbed growth hacking. That's when the Builk team redid the SiteWalk app and learned how to be better at launching new products.
According to Patai, networking is the best thing that 500 Startups offers. In one batch, you're surrounded by lots of great startups from around the world. You learn from each other and create a startup network to help each other. He explains:
The biggest benefit I earn is connection and the confirmation of hypothesis that I've wondered. I reached out to the most familiar industry people and they were willing to share. That's when I know I was on the right direction – and what I needed to do to improve.
Language barriers
Patai doesn't speak perfect English and he doesn't need to. Of course, he was intimidated by other startups who could present themselves so well in English, but that's what pushed him to work harder.
He focused on what he's good at – his product. He also overcame the language barrier by using a lot of visualizations in his presentation. On the demo day, all he had in his head was that he couldn't mess up and embarrass all Thai startups.
Patai believes that to succeed you have to believe in your startup, have passion, and follow through with what you believe in.
You could be working on an ecommerce startup with 1,000 competitors – but dream high. Even if you're in a competitive space, find your strength and fight for it. Just don't try to be another Pinterest. You know your market and your audience best. Go to 500 Startups to take knowledge and bring it back to improve the region.

On Wednesday morning, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank launched the 2013 Harvest for Hunger campaign. The Akron-Canton agency's goal is to raise $1 million in Stark, Carroll, Tuscarawas, Wayne, Holmes, Portage, Medina and Summit counties.
The Harvest for Hunger campaign got off to a rousing start Wednesday morning at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.
Volunteers formed a long clapping line, flanked by shelves stacked with boxes of food stretching to the warehouse ceiling. Pompoms were pumped. Noisemakers were buzzed. Inflatable thundersticks were pounded.
They cheered and welcomed food bank supporters to the campaign kickoff event. The goal is to raise $1 million and 110,000 pounds of food. The 22nd annual Harvest for Hunger campaign runs through April.
Dan Flowers, president and CEO of the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, said the goal is the "the steepest hill by far we've ever tried to climb."
He spoke to an audience of volunteers, business representatives, staff and other supporters. The campaign launch took place in the 85,000-square-foot warehouse.
"Let's declare our hope and faith in the goodness that we can create," Flowers said. "Let's create more light and drive back more darkness, because that's the kind of community we want to live in — a community where our love for humanity compels us to act with unrelenting goodness."
Harvest for Hunger is a collaborative effort of four food banks serving 21 counties in Northeast Ohio.
The other participating food banks are the Cleveland Foodbank, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.
The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, a not-for-profit organization based in Akron, serves Stark, Carroll, Tuscarawas, Holmes, Wayne, Medina, Portage and Summit counties.
One in seven people in the food bank's service area is food insecure, meaning they lack regular access to safe and nutritious food, according to the agency. One in four children in the same region lack enough food.
All of the Harvest for Hunger donations are used to provide food at no cost to local food pantries, hot meal sites and shelters with emergency food programs.
In 2012, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank distributed 20.6 million pounds of food, providing 17.2 million meals for those in need.
The Hunger for Harvest campaign includes food and fund drives and Check Out Hunger. Nearly 300 businesses, schools, community organizations and families are holding food and fund drives in March and April.
Grocery store chains are participating in Check Out Hunger, which allows shoppers to scan coupons and make donations of $1, $5 or $10. Participating stores include Buehler's Fresh Foods, Fishers Foods and Giant Eagle. That program runs from Sunday through March 30 in the region.
Ed Roth, president and CEO of Aultman Health Foundation, is co-chair of this year's campaign. The other co-chair is William Considine, president and CEO of Akron Children's Hospital.
Page 2 of 2 - "We anticipate that the food need is going to be greater again this year, both nationally and locally," Roth said.
Harvest for Hunger campaign
The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank launched its 2013 campaign on Wednesday morning.
Tax-deductible donations are accepted at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank by phone, mail or online at www.akroncantonfoodbank.org. The agency can be reached at (330)535-6900.
Besides donations, businesses and groups can register to host a food and funds drive by registering at the website.
Hunger in Stark County
• 16.7 percent of the county's population lacks enough food (62,860 people).
• 25.2 percent of the population's children don't have enough food (21,590).

Posted: Aug 9, 2013
A small story that contains thoughts of a lonely teenager.
Short Story by samihatabassum
Posted: Aug 8, 2013
Just a simple story about a brother-sister relationship....
As you can see I am a girl. Anyway yeah I am Samiha Tabassum Tasnuva, in real life its the other way around, 'Tasnuva' comes first, and 'Samiha' comes at the end. But I love being called by the name my mum and my family uses a lot, 'SAMIHA.' Its kinda tough to hear that most of my friends prefer the name 'TASNUVA' even more and chooses to call me that. ._. But I guess I can live with that. And its actually hard to imagine that anyone would actually spend their time reading this shit, LOL. Music, Singing, Cartoons, TV Shows, Babysitting, Chilling with girlfriends, are a HUGE PART OF MY LIFE. LOL. Sometimes I love being a loner, sometimes I don't. At times I don't even understand myself. But I am happy just the way I am.
I LIVE FOR t.A.T.u, (ex t.A.T.u)
Don't get me wrong, I'm no lesbian, I just appreciate pretty girls, and their sweet voices. ♥ Sometimes I kinda enjoying writing stories and put my heart out on paper and just express what I feel. My mum thinks writing is my talent, I honestly don't think so, but sometimes I give it a shot just for her. <3
Anyway I'm gonna stop here, cause no one ever reads this crap anyway, but if anyone is, I'd like to say 'CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL READING THIS SHIT! QUIT WASTING YOUR TIME AND MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL LOL.' Sorry if that sounded rude. Well I guess it ends here. :P
