A heavy weight was crushing your chest. You tried to shift out of the way, knowing without opening your eyes what it was.
"Get off Gilbert."
"Nien." He mumbled, tightening his hold on your waist.
You propped yourself up on your elbows, frowning down at the man.
His face was pressed in between your breasts, his arms wrapped tightly around your waist.
He did this every night. Sneaking into your bed, leaving you to wake up extremely pissed.
Gilbert had been doing this for two years now.
You could lock your door, set up booby traps and even a burglar alarm. The Prussian managed to get past all of them without waking you up.
"What will your girlfriend think Gilbert?"
He scowled, nuzzling his face against your chest. You blushed, trying to hide it with an angry glare.
Okay. Maybe you liked waking up with him at your side. Maybe you forgot to lock your door every now and then.
You liked Gilbert, more tha

An Awesome Valentine's day
Valentines Day. Just like any other day of the year.
It wan't that you hated it. You just felt no need to celebrate it.
That was a lie. You always bought your self a small box of chocolates. Just so you could say that you had some.
But still, the holiday was like a scab on the calender.
Sighing you turned on your laptop. After checking your messages on DeviantART you turned to the only thing that allowed you to escape the world for a while.
Fan fictions. To be more precise, CountryxReaders.
After a moment of thinking, you smiled and typed "PrussiaxReader" in the search bar.
The next two hours went by in a flash as you read fan fiction after fan fiction. You only became aware of the passage of time when you reached out and felt around the inside of the small chocolate box. It was empty, you had eaten all of them.

Hacking my life
1). Extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.
2). Extremely good; excellent.
A simple word, often used excessively by teenagers. But for you, it wasn't just a word. For the government and all internet providers and website owners, it was a threat and a promise, all rolled into one simple word.
"Mr.Awesome" was the code name of the world's best hacker. A man who could hack any computer, could create viruses that got past even the best security. A man whose identity was as mysterious as Batman's. You only knew his identity if he wanted you to. So far, no one knew.
Just the sight of his logo, a tiny doodle of a yellow chick, was enough to send entire governments into immediate action. They had hired hackers, people they used to track, to attempt to catch the man. No one could.
Except maybe you.

Your mother loved to volunteer. Baking, sewing, knitting, firefighting. You name it, she did it. But she did too much. Which is why you were stuck with the duty of baking cookies for a children's hospital. You wouldn't have minded if it was just you baking. Unfortunately, your accidental friend Gilbert had decided that he wanted to help you.
"Go away Gilbert." You snapped at him, stirring the batter. He smirked, his silvery white hair glinting in the mid-day sunlight. Leaning over you shoulder, he dipped his fingers in the batter, scooping some into his mouth.
You elbowed him and glared. He fake gasped, pretending to clutch his heart in dismay.

He continued whining, wrapping his arms about your waist and resting his chin against your shoulder. You ignored him, well, ignored him as best as you could. The guy needed to have an off switch for his v

You stared at the glowering faces of your new classmates. Yeah, just like the teacher said. You were really welcome here. After all, death glares and 'I'm going to beat the shit outta you.' looks were normal.
Yeah totally welcome, all that was missing was the giant cake with the words, "FUCK OFF" on it.
One student actually smiled at you his red eyes twinkling. And then he ruined it by making an extremely perverted gesture.
Great. And to think that the only reason you were here was because your mother love the uniform. Just great.

You sat on the edge of your bed, trying to hold back the wave of tears. You were suffering internally.
Suffering from the taunts of the other girls at school, suffering from the sexually harassment the boys seemed to enjoy putting you through. Suffering from the Teachers ridicule and lack of interest in the bullying.
"Damn Them, Damn them all to hell." You whispered. flopping onto your bed and burying your face in the covers. A few tears escaped, sliding down your face, leaving a salty wet trail behind them.

Franctically searching for it, he skidded on the landing, starting to sprint down the steps.
As he wasn't paying attention to his footing, he yelped when his foot trod on air. Lurching forward, Gilbert sat bolt upright in his bed, panting heavily. As he tried to calm his breathing he blinked at the alarm clock.

Study finds Windows more secure than Linux
Believe it or not, a Windows Web server is more secure than a similarly set-up Linux server, according to a study presented yesterday by two Florida researchers.
The researchers, appearing at the RSA Conference of computer-security professionals, discussed the findings in an event, "Security Showdown: Windows vs. Linux." One of them, a Linux fan, runs an open-source server at home; the other is a Microsoft enthusiast. They wanted to cut through the near-religious arguments about which system is better from a security standpoint.

Expiration Date:?Feb 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.12 lbs (0.05 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material.

This was recommended to me by my doctor. I'm treating a C. Pneumoniae infection and he says it prevents the bacteria from entering the cells and becoming an ATP parasite by inhibiting it's use of cholesterol for that purpose.It has really given me more energy.And is probably helping knock down the infection. More information on this infection at: http://www.cpnhelp.org This is a web site put up by fellow patients on the CPn treatment developed by Dr. Charles Stratton at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.This is an epidemic that is flying under the radar. If I had not found out about this infection three years ago, I would be going downhill still. Now I am back to living a normal life and have the energy to work and play like I did before.
The 90% delta-tocotrienol as Delta GOLD ™ costs much more in other products at other retailers. I have taken 2 capsules daily for 1 year (with little other lifestyle changes) which has lowered LDL cholesterol 20% and total cholesterol by 12%.

Lugar de Aciveiro, s/n. Aciveiro
GPS coordinates: 42.61750800, -8.30141500
This singular hotel occupies an ancient monastery, a real gem of Romantic architecture, built in 1135 under the tutelage of the king Alfonso VII, and incorporated to the Cistercian Order around 1170.
The conscientious restoration of the building respected faithfully the structure of the monastic enclosure which, under the Cistercian architectonical style, distributes around the cloister the ancient dependencies: kitchen, refectory, scriptorium, chapter house, stables and monk cells. In the past austere rooms, they become nowadays cozy spaces, full of warm and charm. The monastery functioned like that until the XIX century. Witness of the presence of the monks, you can see an interesting collection of liturgical clothes in the cloister, some of the chasubles with more of two centuries old.
The ideal situation of the monastery, very near of the environmental protection area of Sierra del Candán, provide to the visitant a privileged environment to enjoy the nature and the practice of outdoor activities.

From the start I knew that "Sanctum" wasn't going to be anything special. But, out of strange curiosity I wanted to test my thoughts on the film by giving it a shot in IMAX 3D, because well, lets face it, IMAX makes any movie better. With "Sanctum", that fact changes. While the look of the film remains the only good factor from it, the visuals don't help make this just a fun pop-corn flick. Instead, it was painful to sit through for many reasons and unless your still not convinced in skipping this after my review, then at least wait for the DVD. Don't waste your money now.
James Cameron, who we all know stamped his name all over this without doing a single thing, is not the blame when it comes to the disasters that follow "Sanctum". He wasn't the director, he wasn't an actor in the film, and he wasn't one of the writers. So, people bashing on Cameron over this movie should probably think back and realize the only thing he does in "Sanctum" is presenting it to us like eye-candy with his big major motion-picture titles like "Avatar" and "Titanic", making the audience thinking "Sanctum" will be just as epic. Don't let that fool you!
I found it hard sitting through the first half of "Sanctum". The set-up that brings us into the main plot of the film is dreadful, dialog between characters is horrifying, and all of our main characters are simply unlikable. Once we get to where the movie actually picks up, it can become a little entertaining, but, not enough for me to get too much into it.
The plot of "Sanctum" is actually something with big potential. With all the different characters in the movie, it could of have had real good character development, but, instead the movie tries to hard focusing on a relationship between a father and son that becomes annoying twenty-minutes into the movie. That relationship being the closet thing to character development, its easy to dislike all the characters. The movie focuses on a cave-diving team exploring a cave never explored by any other before. Frank, being the world's most respected cave-diver, is a man who continues to breathe with the rush of exploring caves. His son, Josh, stuck in his father's career steps, is quite good at what he does, but simply hates exploring caves. This is supposed to strike tension between the two characters, but instead, only strikes up a boring pre-plot to the film that drags through even the major events. When the team faces a life-or-death situation in the cave, they must make their way through the un-explored and find a way out. That could have been entertaining, but, the film moves to slowly for it to become a big fast-paced thrill-ride that it could have.
Y'know that one character in a movie you always hate but never have a good enough reason? With "Sanctum", all of the characters are like that. Probably because the script is so cheesy and the dialog is god-awful. Some actors here try to hard with their lines, making it a little melo-dramatic at times, while other just have no emotion the entire time. Take Rhys Wakefield, for example, every time he had a scene where he had to cry and feel emotion, he always over did it. Ioan Gruffud (Fantastic Four) gives the worst performance out of the whole movie. His character was annoying and had no life brought into it at all. Whenever someone would die, Gruffud gets lazy and doesn't try with his lines that should be more filled with worry...than nothing. It was quite dreadful. His screams were horrific, worse than a teenage girls in her big horror-movie breakthrough. The best performance in the film comes from Richard Roxburgh, and even his performance had me laughing at times from how bad it was. Let's just say, the acting in the film doesn't do it any good.
It's the direction of the film that's one of the only great qualities in it. Alister Grierson does a great job with the shots on the cave, making that the only redeeming thing from "Sanctum". Grierson, who doesn't deserve to have his name put on such a bad movie, presents incredible angles only a block-buster deserves. I mean, he could have put the actors to work a bit more, but, I won't hold too much of this film's failures to the guy. Anyways, the direction and cinematography on "Sanctum" are the only good things you'll get out of your wallet. That doesn't really make it worth jumping up to see, does it?
If your looking for a comedy, however, one night and your not a huge fan of Adam Sandler's newest flick, "Just go with it", go and have a laugh with "Sanctum" because the bad dialog had me almost in tears from laughter. "Sanctum" has some of the most cheesiest, dreadful lines in it than from what I've seen in a while. "You can do this...because you have to do this." Well, duh!
All and all, I wouldn't recommend spending on your dollar on this movie. The movie has a pretty good idea that could've offered much more but instead is dragged down by a terrible script, bad acting, and a frozen pace. The death scenes can be cool to look at, but, it doesn't do the film enough to make it worthy of your time, plus, it becomes obvious what idiot is going to die next, making the suspense it tries to grasp drop. If your still intrigued in seeing this, please, give it a rent.
Thanks for the read!

PEOPLE with spinal injuries are to have the chance to take part in a watersports coaching programme.
Spinal Injury Scotland has set up the initiative in Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park with funding from the National Lottery Celebrate programme.
It will allow people in wheelchairs to use specially adapted equipment on the water.
John Clark, chairman of Spinal Injuries Scotland (SIS), said: "Glasgow 2014 was a wonderful showcase of sport and inclusion with the integration of the para-sports in the programme one of its defining successes.
"This funding means the people we support can have access to new and exciting opportunities, a great example of a Commonwealth Games legacy."
SIS received £9600 from the Celebrate fund.
At a special launch event yesterday visitors had the chance to try new accessible equipment installed at the Castle Semple Centre, Lochwinnoch.
The centre will teach people with spinal injuries how to sail and they will also get the chance to try other watersports such as canoeing and kayaking.
The charity's spokes-woman said: "Often, after a spinal injury, our members feel worried about the life-changing position they are in and can become depressed about the fact that they can no longer live the life they once led.
"However at SIS we aim to show those who are presently and newly injured that new doors can be open and that a new fulfilling skill can be mastered post injury."
SIS is a national voluntary organisation helping people who have new or long-term spinal cord injuries, as well as their relatives and friends.
It also supports those involved in the management, care and rehabilitation of injuries.
The charity is based in Glasgow, near the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit at the Southern General Hospital, but serves the whole of Scotland.
The centre was opened yesterday by councillor Christopher Gilmour and British Paralympian and world champion wheelchair curler Angie Malone.

Not Everyone Sings Its Praises
While this diet is extremely popular, not everyone loves it. A recent Mother Jones article points out that it's not really known if this is the way that cavemen ate and that eating grains really isn't that bad for you. A 2013 article in the Scientific American states that this diet is "nonsensical and sometimes dangerously restrictive."

March Madness Seed Statistics
by Trevor Whenham - 3/17/2015
The NCAA men's basketball tournament is the best three weekends in sports. That's true as a fan, as a bracket junkie, or as a handicapper. Winter can be long and dull, but this is the best possible way to break it up - and hopefully to bring it to an end. To help you dominate your bracket this year, here are some updated March Madness seed statistics to help you out:
No. 1 seeds
The No. 1 seeds are getting a whole lot of attention this year. Well, one of them at least. Kentucky is picked in the Final Four of virtually every bracket out there, and they deserve it. But what has history taught us about No. 1 seeds in general?
Free $60 in Member March Madness Picks No Obligation Click Here
Well, for starters, we can be pretty confident that we will see at least one No. 1 seed in the Final Four. The tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Since then there have been just two years - 2006 and 2011 - in which all of the No. 1 seeds were shut out of the final weekend of action. 2011 was particularly ugly - only one of the top seeds, Kansas, even made it as far as the Elite Eight.
While we are likely to see at least one top seed, we are even more likely to not see all four top seeds advance to the Final Four. That has happened just once before - back in 2008. With a field as wide-open as this one (aside from Kentucky, of course) and so little difference between the top seeds and the second seeds, it's hard to imagine that this will be a repeat of 2008.
It is good news for Kentucky that the top overall seed in the tournament won the tournament in two of the last three years - Kentucky again in 2012 and Louisville the next year. Of course, last year was something completely different - UConn was a No. 7 seed, and they beat eighth-seeded Kentucky in the final game. Including those two recent top-seed winners, though, only six top seeds have won since 1985, so recent success is not an indicator of overall trends. Before Kentucky won in 2012, in fact, no team had won as top overall seed since 1995.
The most obvious trend with the top seed is their first-round supremacy. A hundred and twenty times we have seen a No. 1 play a No. 16, and 120 times the superior team has come out on top. The games are almost never even somewhat close, either. Last year Arizona only beat Weber State by nine points. That marked the fourth time in the last three years that one of these games was decided by single digits. Before this streak this hadn't happened since 1997, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we are any closer to what would unquestionably be the biggest upset in the history of North American sports.
Top three seeds
We know that the two teams in the final last year were quite unexpected - at least in terms of their seeds. Joining them in the Elite Eight as surprises were No. 11 Dayton and No. 4 Michigan State. That means that only four of the eight last teams were top three seeds - fewer than the five from the previous year or the six the year before that. It's still a good bet, though, that quality will advance in bulk to the later rounds.
What we aren't likely to see, though, is all 12 of the top three seeds make it through to the second weekend. It wouldn't seem like that would be too tough, yet it has only happened once - in 2009. Last year, just six of those 12 teams made it through their first two games. That was a much worse performance by the higher-seeded teams than normal, but given how wide-open this tournament is this year behind Kentucky we could again see that level of decimation amongst the top seeds.
The hunt for big upsets
In the two years prior to last year we had seen some huge upsets. Three No. 15 squads - Florida Gulf Coast, Norfolk State and Lehigh - had shocked the world in their first games against No. 2 seeds. It was easy to think at that time that those upsets were becoming the norm. Last year, though, things returned to expectations, and the No. 2s rolled through their opening games. The top seeds have still won 113 of 120 games played - 94 percent - so while you would look like a hero if you correctly picked an upset, it's a lousy decision to pick one in your bracket.
Last year we saw two teams ranked higher than sixth in the Final Four. That was the 25th time in 30 years that we have seen at least one team ranked No. 6 or higher has made the Elite Eight. Don't forget a longer shot or two when you are filling out your brackets and making your bets.
By now we are almost more surprised when a No. 12 doesn't win their first game against a No. 5 than when they don't. Last year we saw three of the four No. 12s move on. There were three winners from that group the year before as well. In the 30 years of the 64-team tournament we have now seen a No. 12 advance to the second game 27 different times. No No, 12 made it to the Sweet 16 last year, but they have still done so in five of the last seven years.

BHK Child Development is going through a transition.
They've laid off employees, their executive director has resigned, and they've cut several programs due to financial problems. BHK's Executive Director, Mike Poma, resigned effective last Wednesday. According to BHK Board President Gale Eiolola, Poma left for personal reasons.
The board is handling the director's duties for now. They'll appoint an interim director in the weeks ahead.
Financial problems have been an issue at BHK for months. Eiolola says they've been losing money each month for the past six months.
Seven employees were let go last Friday. That's due to grants not being renewed, which funded some of the positions. Eiolola did not say how much money those grants totaled.
With grant money drying up, programs are also being eliminated, like Fathers to Dads. Eiolola says those programs actually ended a while ago, but were, up until now, being funded with other money in the organization.
BHK Child Development is a private, non-profit agency that deals with children and family needs and issues.

I am a California landlord in a non-rent-controlled city, with two tenants on a one-year lease that is expiring soon. One roommate has offered to renew the lease, but only if it is under his name only, and only if the second tenant moves out. The other tenant does not return my calls and has not indicated whether or not he will renew the lease. At this point, I would like to offer a new lease to the tenant willing to sign on for one year.
I have two questions:
- What are my legal obligations in regards to serving notice at the end of a fixed term lease. Do I need to give the tenants 30 days?
- If I offer a lease to one of the existing tenants only, what are my legal obligations to the second tenant?

How a Proposed Muslim Cemetery Became a Battleground for America's Soul
The first speaker I heard complained to Imam Khalil Abdur-Rashid, the Islamic Association of Collin County representative, about what she understood to be the tenets of his faith.
"It's not your custom to bury caskets," she said, referring to the prevalent and erroneous belief that Muslims, who sometimes bury their dead without coffins, may poison the drinking water. The potential pollution of the water was repeated over and over.

US Pacific Commander: Climate Change is the Top Threat
According to the Commander of U.S. Forces Pacific (PACCOM),
significant upheaval related to the warming planet "is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.'
Admiral Samuel Locklear had a meeting the other day with national security experts at Tufts and Harvard. After this session, he met with a reporter who asked him asked what the top security threat was in the Pacific Ocean. Rather than highlighting Chinese ballistic missiles, the new Chinese Navy aircraft carrier, North Korean nuclear weapons, or other traditional military threats, Admiral Locklear looked to a larger definition of national security.
Locklear commented that "People are surprised sometimes" that he highlights climate change — despite an ability to discuss a wide-range of threats, from cyber-war to the North Koreans. However, it is the risks — from natural disasters to long-term sea-level rise threats to Pacific nations that has his deepest attention.
"You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level. Certainly weather patterns are more severe than they have been in the past. We are on super typhoon 27 or 28 this year in the Western Pacific. The average is about 17."
Climate Change merits national security — military — attention for very pragmatic reasons.
The ice is melting and sea is getting higher," Locklear said, noting that 80 percent of the world's population lives within 200 miles of the coast. "I'm into the consequence management side of it. I'm not a scientist, but the island of Tarawa in Kiribati, they're contemplating moving their entire population to another country because [it] is not going to exist anymore."
And, Admiral Locklear is now — almost certainly with Joint Chiefs of Staff and Office of Secretary of Defense knowledge and support — taking this up seriously with other nations.
"We have interjected into our multilateral dialogue – even with China and India – the imperative to kind of get military capabilities aligned [for] when the effects of climate change start to impact these massive populations," he said. "If it goes bad, you could have hundreds of thousands or millions of people displaced and then security will start to crumble pretty quickly.''
The Pacific region has seen some of the largest multi-national disaster relief operations. Operation Sea Angel in 1991, following a devastating typhoon on Bangladesh, involved numerous military forces — including the Chinese Navy. Similarly, many nations used military forces to respond across the Indian Ocean to the disastrous December 2004 Aceh Tsunami. Admiral Locklear is looking to the reality of mounting seas, more damaging severe weather, and looking to other climate impacts — and is working to set the stage for the region's military forces to work together more effectively in responding to climate disruption driven disasters.
This interview is not an isolated comment by Admiral Locklear but an indication of increasing concern about and focus on climate change. In December 2012, he raised climate change in a speech to the Asia Society. From this speech highlighting the importance and complexity of the Pacific region. His first example of a non-region specific complicating issue:
this complexity is magnified by a wide, diverse group of challenges…challenges that can significantly stress the security environment….
– Climate change – where increasingly severe weather patterns and rising sea levels will threaten our peoples and even threaten the loss of entire nations…and of course the inevitable earthquakes and tsunamis will continue to challenge all of us in a very unpredictable way as our planet ages. Just as today our friends and partners in the Philippines are dealing with the challenges of the most recent super typhoon.
Admiral Locklear spoke a month ago to the U.S. Indonesia Society. In the speech, he linked climate change to the military, the need for resiliency and the ability for coping with mounting disaster relief requirements.
As Indonesia's capabilities grow, the Indonesian military should also build on its tradition of contributing forces to U.N. peacekeeping operations…yet another area where the Indonesian and American militaries can collaborate more closely to increase the level of interoperability between our forces.
While resilience in the security environment is traditionally understood as the ability to recover from a crisis, using the term in the context of national security expands its meaning to include crisis prevention.
With large populations vulnerable to the effects of climate change and natural disasters, both our nations have a significant interest in improving our ability to quickly respond and mitigate the ongoing risk these threats bring.
We learned how local communities prepare themselves for the inevitable disruptions are critical to the region's efforts to maintain peace, security and prosperity.
This means working on disaster response alone is no longer the answer for the types of scenarios that we face.
Disaster risk reduction through mitigation, planning, and recovery that starts at the community level is required if we are to create more resilient societies.
Private businesses and communities must look within and beyond their current capabilities to ensure that they are prepared to handle what may occur as a result of some catastrophe.
Admiral Locklear as a strong voice on climate change issues might surprise some. Consider, for example, the range of Combatant Commander formal statements to Congress as to the discussion of climate change. Writ large, not much there — and Admiral Locklear is no exception in that list. Admiral Locklear has mentioned climate change before, such as commenting that it would be a stress factor in Europe (where he commanded Operation Odyssey Dawn, the attack on Qaddafi's Libya during the Arab Spring). That Admiral Locklear is putting climate change on the top of the long-term security challenge seems to be new — to be news.
That a four-star flag officer is publicly stating that climate change dominates the long-term strategic discussions in his command matters.
It matters for the substance of discussion with other nations and for what this might portend for the highest levels of the U.S. military. It perhaps is most important because the military is a path toward serious cultural change as to a broader acceptance of the basic reality of climate change. Who 'listens' when someone in uniform listens? For me, the military is one of the key institutions for changing Americans perspectives on clean energy and climate change.

Lewis Perelman says:
Emphasis here is on "long range." It is appropriate and common for military planning to consider a wide range of future contingencies, including 'black swans' and 'unknown unknowns'. In that context, Locklear's comments here provide some useful insight into military interests in improving resilience and adaptability.
However, it would be surprising indeed if PACCOM were really more worried about climate change (i.e., global warming) than more immediate and tangible security challenges. Yet in his recent, extensive testimony on the Navy's current posture and situation assessment, he actually mentions 'climate change' only once, parenthetically. His stated concerns, besides the escalating threat from N. Korea and expanding Chinese military budget, include understandable worry about the impact of sequestration:
"During the past decade the U.S. joint force has been heavily tasked in other AORs. As a consequence, the USPACOM AOR, in many areas has assumed additional risk. Examples of areas of particular concern are ISR assets, regional and homeland ballistic missile defense capabilities, carrier strike group availability, undersea warfare capabilities, munitions availability and theater lift. The rebalance has given us a new opportunity to begin to solve this and to re-emphasize to our allies and partners that we are a committed Pacific nation. However, the impact of sequestration and shortfalls in operating accounts under the continuing appropriations resolution may begin to undermine our strategic rebalance initiatives, exasperate existing resource challenges, and result in increased risk."

It is largely due to this hypocrisy that the American people were so hungry for change in 2008. Even many who would normally not agree with Mr. Obama's policy positions felt that something different was needed in Washington; any change had to be better than more of the same. Thus the American people elected a man with unwavering faith in the superior capability of Big Government, a man who believes in the redistribution of wealth and supports abortion on demand, a man who is a reliable friend to organized labor and the environmental lobby, and a proponent of nationalized health care. In short, the American people elected a Democrat.
If Obama had won the Presidency under this mantle only to slash entitlement spending, appoint an anti-Roe justice to the Supreme Court, ignore his Speaker's cry for comprehensive health care reform, and backpedal on the push for cap-and-trade legislation, he would have been painted as a hypocrite and a disgrace to his party. There are assumptions that people make about what it means to be a Democrat, and the agenda that a Democrat is likely to pursue while in office. The same is true of Republicans. This is why political parties go to the trouble of drafting a party platform in the first place, to clarify what they stand for, what principles guide their leadership and inform their decisions, and how they view the relationship between citizens and their government.
How one answers these questions determines (in America, anyway) on which side of the aisle one falls politically. But for far too long there has been little to no correlation between what GOP said it stands for and what it actually does. Thus this "ideological cleansing" of which Milbank complains may actually help eliminate the cognitive dissonance that the American people have experienced as a result of Republicans saying one thing and doing another.
If the GOP is successful in achieving basic ideological unity within its party, then the American people will have an easier time determining if the conservative approach to government is something they support, and the charlatans inside the Beltway will have a harder time gumming up the works with politics as usual.

Luscombe Silvaire 8F: A Classic LSA
A Luscombe enthusiast revives the type with a larger Continental engine and a lower gross weight
|If you're a Luscombe lover (and most any pilot who's flown the type is), the new/old Luscombe 8F must strike a resonant tone. These days, in fact, the old Luscombe design has taken on a new persona, that of an LSA.
|The all-aluminum, all-American Silvaire's minimalist design philosophy is apparent on its exterior and interior.

SpaceGodzilla-Perfect colored by ERIC-ARTS-incWatch
©2009-2016 ERIC-ARTS-inc
SpaceGodzilla-Perfect in color.
wowo breathtaking color and light! perfect!
YIKES lol I totally forgotten about this one. I really should do this one over again with my current skill level. I colored this when I was just starting out in digital art. But I thank you for the compliments.
That is one hell of a colour scheme! I like it vey much!
Thankyou very much. Although, a revision may be in order. Ive gotten better since this piece was colored digitally
after you readperfectghidroah vs bagan could you draw a picture of him as good as this one?
Ill see friend, Im lining up projects for the year. And Ill see where I can fit Perfect King Ghidorah in.
well to tell you the truth it is not king ghidorah but it has his DNA along with the DNA of godzilla, bagan,deathghidorah, spacegodzilla, monster x, and kaiser ghidorah.
Space Godzilla has always been my favorite, and you, sir, have made him awesome!
"Haha! Godzilla won't stand a chance against my mighty new crystalline bikini!"
Thank you very much.
you outdid mine~ ten fold!
Yo your kaiju gallery is hot, gives me alot of ideas for some kaiju art. Thanx for the praise btw.
Thanks, this was my first true coloring process on cs4, I was pleased with the results. I was just hoping everyone who sees it thinks the same lol.
Thats were I focused the majority of my attention, I wanted his crystals to be the feature that draws people in. I colored them in a way that they appear translucent, with a luminous quality. It was tough but I think I achieved those results rather well.
