The way he tosses back his head in laughter, as if whatever that girl is telling him is the funniest joke on earth Why can't I be that girl?
"Iero, you do realize that you are currently dribbling all over your jeans right?"
"Huh, what, I
" I quickly wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and shifted my gaze from Gerard Sexiest-Guy-on-Earth Way back to Ray and Mikey.
"Dude, you look like you pissed your pants!" Mikey snickered.
I flipped him off and wiped napkins across my lap. Ugh. Gerard Hot-as-Hell Way always had that effect on me
I usually limited my staring to when I was alone but today, I just couldn't resist. His jeans were sagging like halfway down his butt for God's sake, and the sleeveless grey shirt he was wearing was showing way too much skin! So I was trying to get a sneak a stare while eating lunch with my supposed "best friends."
But I guess I hadn't been very subtle. Ray's eyes were going back and forth between me and Gerard Impossibly-Perfect Way's table and a slow smile spread over his features.
"Holy. Shit. You like him don't you Iero?"
My eyes widened. "What? Hell no!"
"What?" Mikey tried to follow Ray's eyes but my crazy haired friend was already turning back to me.
"You do. Holy crap, you're blushing!"
"Am not!"
"What are you guys talking about?!"
"Iero, just admit it, you
that's why you were drooling all over yourself!"
"Was not! And keep it down, I don't want him to hea-" I slapped my hands over my mouth.
Too late.
Ray howled with laughter while Mikey still looked as confused as a duck among platypuses.
"Who does he like?" he whined, tugging at my shirt.
"No one." I muttered before turning back to Ray, "I don't like him, what are you talking about?"
"Who are YOU talking about?" Ray grinned.
I had no reply to that so I just had to duck my head and wait for Ray to finish laughing like a maniac. And all the while, Mikey was still tugging at my t-shirt, demanding to know who I had a crush on.
Finally, when Ray had pulled himself together, he grinned like an axe-murderer. "Frankie-boy here likes your brother Mikes!"
My eyes went round with horror. "Shut UP!" I hissed, quickly looking past his shoulder to make sure Gerard Carved-by-Angels Way wasn't looking at us. He wasn't. But his lips were pulled into the sexiest fake pout in history! I moaned out loud.
"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!!!" Mikey groaned, "Dude gross! How could you possibly
? Oh GROSS!"
Again, I ducked my head, feeling my cheeks ablaze.
"You should go talk to him!"
My head snapped up. "What?!"
Ray was staring at me with the most conniving look I had ever seen on his face. Which was saying a lot.
"Dude?! N-no!" I stammered.
But Ray had already made up his mind. He stood up, promptly shoving his chair back about six feet and grabbed my arm, pulling me to my feet.
"NO Ray, NO!" I hissed, frantically trying to break his death grip to no avail.
"Any suggestions?" Ray asked Mikey.
Mikey rolled his eyes. "I am still against anyone having a crush on that THING but if Frank must, then I guess he shouldn't embarrass himself
let's see
" he thought for a second, tapping his chin and pressing his lips in a tight line.
"Today would be nice!" Ray said after a while, clearly impatient for my public humiliation.
Mikey snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah, Gerard's a sucker for cheesy jokes and
" he winked at me, "Pick-up lines. Make him laugh and he's all yours."
I groaned. How the hell could I make Gerard Cuter-than-Cute Way laugh when seeing him turned my tongue to lead and my brain to mush?!
"Alrighty then, we're good to go."
And to my utter horror, Ray gave me a violent shove in the back, causing me to stumble right up to Gerard Godly Way's table and nearly fall into his lunch tray. Luckily, I steadied myself just in time. Not so luckily, the sixteen people that sat along the table all ceased their conversations to stare at me.
I blushed.
"Uh, can I help you?" Gerard I-Have-to-Stop-Giving-him-Middle-Names Way asked, not sounding so much annoyed as amused.
I tried to think fast but all I could focus on was the casual way he twirled a fork between his long, elegant fingers, as if it was the easiest thing in the world
"Hello? Um, you okay?" he asked, waving his other hand in front of my face while still messing with the fork with the other.
"Can I borrow your fork?" I blurted.
Gerard looked taken aback. He stared at the utensil in his fingers as I kicked myself.
Real smooth Frank!
"I kinda already used it, sorry
"Oh that's okay!" I said quickly, trying to make up for the idiotic conversation starter.
The girl sitting across from him snorted with laughter but Gerard just looked slightly creeped out.
"No, I mean, it's okay, I don't need your fork I just
" I stammered helplessly.
Suddenly, I felt something light hit the back of my head and turned around to see Mikey mouthing "pick-up line!" and Ray laughing his ass off back at our table.
I turned back to Gerard.
He was still staring oddly at me.
Pickup line, pickup line, pickup line.
"If you were a tree, you'd be a really good tree!"
The entire cafeteria fell silent and I could almost hear the sound of my stupidity echoing around it.
I bit my lip for a few seconds as Gerard nodded slowly, trying to process what I had just said, "Um, okay, I'll keep that in mind if I run out of career options in future."
A loud, collective "Ooooooh
" was issued around the cafeteria.
What? No, I wasn't trying to dis him! Argh! Try again.
"What I meant was
are you a
fire extinguisher because you come with smoking hot?" I immediately buried my head in my hands after these words escaped my mouth but I couldn't take them back.
When I looked up, Gerard was fingering a strand of his fire-engine red hair, a slight smile playing at the corner of his lips. "Wow, does it look that bad?"
Another "Ooooooh
I felt someone's presence behind me and whirled around to see Mikey and Ray walking quickly past me to the door leading out of the cafeteria. Mikey paused for a split second, right next to me and whispered, "Oh, I forgot to mention, he's King of Comebacks."
Oh gee, thanks!
I took a deep breath, knowing that this was my last chance before I either burst into tears, died of embarrassment or got so dissed by Gerard that I would never dare talk to him again.
"Hey Gerard?" I said meekly.
"Sorry about the idiotic comments, there's just so much upsexy in here."
Gerard wrinkled his adorable nose. "What's upsexy?"
"Oh, nothing much, just trying and failing to flirt with the guy I like. What's up with you?" I replied quietly with a smile.
Collective gasp: from the entire student body.
Gerard's mouth: open in surprise.
And the sound of his sweet, awkward laughter: music to my ears.

The continent of Aldenard is part of the Global Region known as Eorzea. It is the smallest continent in Hydaelyn, and is surrounded by several islands. A land bridge connects Aldenard to the land mass containing the other two continents.
Map Gallery here
Aldenard, a land of many diverse regions, is home to five of Eorzea's six city-states: Sharlayan, which is located in the northwestern region of Dravania; Ishgard of the Coerthas region in the north-central portion of the continent; Gridania in a region to the east known as The Black Shroud; Ala Mhigo in Gyr Abania on the far eastern edge; and Ul'dah in the southern region of Thanalan. Other regions on Aldenard include Paglth'an and Mor Dhona, bordering Thanalan to the east and north respectively, and Xelphatol, north of Gridania and Ala Mhigo.
The continent is bordered by the Garlean Empire, a landmass far to the northeast, as well as five seas. In the northwest lies the Indigo Deep, to the north is the Bloodbrine Sea, on the eastern side is the Sea of Jade, below that is the Sea of Ash, and finally to the southwest lies the Rhotano Sea.
The island of Vylbrand, home to the city-state of Limsa Lominsa, lies just off Aldenard's western coast, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Merlthor.

People are looking for fresh new faces and new ideas, said Carrie McFall-Weaver, referring to her newly elected spot on the Baldwinsville Board of Trustees.
And the riverside village got what it asked for. McFall-Weaver, 35, and Robin Augello, 43, are two of the fresh faces joining incumbent Rick Presley, 57, to fill the three open trustee seats at Tuesday's election. Former trustee Howard Tupper was not reelected for his would be 13th year on the board and McFall-Weaver said it was because Baldwinsville voters were looking for new faces to bring change to the small village.
"I think Howard has done wonderful things, but people are ready for a change" said McFall-Weaver, a teacher at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School in Syracuse.
McFall-Weaver received over 100 votes more than Tupper and said it was her cautious approach to the issue of business and service consolidation in the village that gained her voter support.
"I think consolidation of services to decrease taxes is something we need to approach cautiously," McFall-Weaver said. "There are costs and benefits that need to be evaluated before we go any further."
Robin Augello, mother of two, said she thinks it's a good thing that there are two women on the board this year.
"I think it's fantastic and hopefully we can come together even though we don't know each other to unify the entire board," Augello said.
Augello won a seat with 598 votes compared to McFall-Weaver's 649 votes and Rick Presley's 616 votes. She previously ran in last year's board election and lost, however. Augello said she appealed to voters more this year because she is a trustee who is ready to jump in and get moving on the issues of consolidation and taxes.
"I want to get right to studying and figuring out what it is we can do to save the tax payers money," Augello said.
This is not the first year Baldwinsville has had women filling trustee seats and former trustee Tupper, with only 512 votes, said the village is ready for a little change.
"It's time for change because we've come to a crossroad here," Tupper said. "I don't feel bitter about anything and I know those two women will do a good job."

If Mohammad was ordered to kill every single Christian, then the middle east would have become 100% Muslim within Mohammads lifetime - with no trace of Christianity. Instead we see that after 1400 years of Muslim domination of the Middle East, we still have a sizeable Christian population.
"Totalitarianism"? The Middle easts sizeable Christian population refutes that.
Muslims call Christians "Polytheists" because of the Trinitarian beliefs and Son of God beliefs.
Muslims call Christians "Polytheists" because of the Trinitarian beliefs and Son of God beliefs.
Please try just a tad more accuracy, for honesty's sake. That is Wahabbist theology, not Muslims in general.
As for christianity, it is a lost case... It is deemed polytheistic by both muslims and jews. [1]
not everyone buys the strange teaching that 3 is 1. This is kindergarten level math.
"[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists."
(Qur'an 9:1)

Abdominal Pain - Timely Diagnosis
Medical Author:
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Dr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
When a medical problem comes on quickly or occurs periodically over a longer period, it is often best to move quickly and make a diagnosis while symptoms are still present; the more serious the problem, the greater the urgency. Nevertheless, urgency should never replace careful and complete diagnostic testing, as is illustrated by a recent experience.
I was asked to see a patient, a young man in his late twenties, who for several years had been having episodes of abdominal pain. There was nothing very distinctive about the pain except that it would last from hours to one or two days and then disappear. During the episodes, he would not eat; he also noted some nausea. He had visited an emergency room once, but only limited testing had been done, and no diagnosis was made. At a later time, he had been seen by a gastroenterologist who had performed an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. No abnormalities were found by endoscopy.
The patient was healthy except for the bouts of abdominal pain. Despite discussing his medical history in detail and examining him, I could find no clues to the cause of his problem. Since the episodes always resolved completely, I thought the best course of action would be to see him during an episode of pain. By examining the patient during an episode, I hoped to be able to decide on the best diagnostic course.

Hop Farm Music Festivalstars, from 40 Fan reports
Kent - Hop Farm Festival: Paddock Wood
The best day of my summer! from JWesting, 28/08/12I had never been to Hop Farm festival before. I bought a Saturday day ticket with a friend and we caught the free shuttle service from Paddock wood train station. We had the best day ever! The music was superb and there was something for everyone: this impressed us the most. People were there from 8 year olds to 80 year olds and the fact that everyone was there for the music united the crowd together so well. There was no violence, prejudice, fighting or anything nasty at all; it was a really inclusive event that was superbly organized, really friendly fun and well, simply a fantastic way to spend summer!
The fact that the sun shone was an added bonus! I have just bought two early bird weekend camping tickets so I can go again next year. Whats also really good about this festival is that the prices are reasonable too...I came back from Leeds which was this weekend just gone and I had spent a lot of money for the 3 day ticket. I dont regret it as I had a fantastic time but seeing that I could get a Hop Farm early bird ticket for just £125 gave my wallet the biggest of smiles!! Im already excited! For those of you sort of umming and arring as to whether or not to book Hop Farm NOW...stop umming and arring and just do it...you seriously wont regret it. Vince Power, bring on 2013! :)
Tonbridge - Hop Farm
Awesome from Heswall Dave, 10/08/12Best weekend ever. So much quality on show there were inevitable clashes and sadly missed Suede. Special mention to Taj Mahal, Lucy Rose, Joan Armatrading (outstanding - what a lovely lady), Patti Smith and My Morning Jacket. Bob was also brilliant - the man is an absolute legend and continues to evolve - may he stay forever young.
God bless Pootopia and all the lovely people who run it and provide the wondrful reading material - worth every penny of £2. Great draft beer, a Pimms bus and Aspalls cider and a great selection of food. What more could you want! Well done Vince Power. Roll on HF 2013.
Tonbridge - The Hop Farm
HOP FARM MUSIC FESTIVAL 2012 from Happy Jenny, 01/08/12Great atmosphere, better than average loos and great food. Only went for the Friday so made the most of music, good vibes and reasonable weather. Ray Davies was a great performer with true rapport with the audience, Peter Gabriel at his best with vocal back up from his daughter and Ane Brun - not to mention the New Blood Orchestra. All this plus Billy Ocean and Jose Gonzalez. Whats not to like?!

The HHS Audit report is a sad, but fascinating, report of error piled upon error-for the past three years. One damning statement from the accountants concerns a $500 million dollar discrepancy (yes-- half a billion dollars of taxpayer money is unaccounted for in just one line item of several billion dollars-worth of instances of missing funds).
The outside accountants responsible for the HHS audit explain that HHS did not "ensure that the legal accrual is recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States nor did CMS [HHS agency] follow its own stated policy".
In other words, HHS just seemed to have done whatever the heck they wanted with the funds, spending whatever they wanted regardless of the instructions from congress.
Even more damning is the report's discussion of the inadequacies of the HHS internal accounting systems which are apparently ill-equipped to handle the existing HHS accounting, much less the more rigorous demands of Obamacare-related accounting.
HHS Secretary Sibelius received this report in November of 2011, but the discrepancies and missing funds had been known about a year earlier.
Consider--at the same time that the Secretary and the President were attacking anyone expressing concerns that Obamacare would be too costly and confusing, it's likely that some of the HHS funds were improperly used to influence the debate and promote the acceptance of Obamacare. Put another way, HHS used taxpayer money to lobby Congress.
Clearly, the Obama Administration and Secretary Sibelius had to know that the government was already anti-deficiency (billions in debt) on multiple line items. But, Sibelius and Obama continued promoting Obamacare because they don't seem to care about legalities, but rather advancing their extreme agenda.
Team Obama is ducking and dodging these revelations, hoping that few will understand the significance. For what Americans are seeing are the budgetary lies and fraud that do our nation great harm.
First, there's HHS' missing billions of dollars (which are not accounted for, nor repaid, in the FY20123 budget either)—that's an obvious fraud. But there is also the vast violation of trust by Sibelius and Obama, who have been colossally dishonest in their dealings with congress and with the American people.
Another example is the FY13 budget for the Small Business Administration (SBA), which Obama has asked Congress to make a permanent Cabinet level agency. Rather than controlling costs, Obama has done a smoke-and-mirrors with the numbers, by hiding standard expenses as off-balance sheet items.
Americans know the dangers of off-balance sheet accounting shenanigans. But, the Obama Administration is hoping that few members of congress, and even fewer Americans, are familiar with the specifics of some of less publicized line items proposed and won't notice when expenses go missing.
The only problem with Obama's bold and improper scheme is that agencies are not supposed to spend money that congress hasn't allocated. So, for example, the SBA's disingenuous representation that it will not be requiring any fund to cover Disaster Loans in FY 2013 (which begins in October 2012—hurricaine season), when for the past several years, the SBA has consistently required at least a $100 Million dollars to cover its needs in this area, is extremely troubling.
If SBA made this smoke-and-mirrors decision, then the SBA is being dishonest in its representation to OMB (Office of Management and Budget), which means that the OBM is being dishonest in its representation to EOP (Executive Office of the President,) which means that the President is being dishonest when he submits these figures to congress.
What Americans are seeing is fraud and lies compounded upon more fraud and lies-- and all done, seemingly without a qualm, to advance left wing ideologies and maintain the deception.
Obama has put congress in a difficult situation. Congress cannot have an honest discussion, or even an honest disagreement, about changes that should or should not be made, or funds that should or should not be spent, because of the sheer illegality of many of the line items in the Obama Administration's FY13 budget proposal.
When the Obama Administration submitted its FY13 budget to congress, ignoring runaway entitlement spending, faking "spending cuts", and once again depending upon another $1 trillion in borrowings to pay for fads and dodgy ambitions, the fraud continues.

Please place additional entries on the quotes tab.In old times, mapmaking was a fairly imprecise task, due to the lack of advanced technology for exploration purposes. So, to fill great blank areas on the maps, mapmakers used to include textual and/or graphic warnings of the dangers of going into uncharted territory. Such warnings took the form of sea serpents, dragons, cannibals and many other mythical and, sometimes, even real creatures. The actual line "Here There Be Dragons" has been found only once, on the 16th-century [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt-Lenox_Globe Lenox Globe]] -- but is too cool to give up.This tendency is explored in fiction with two usual objectives. The first and more obvious is to show that the map is very ancient or simply medieval. Depending on the setting, the map may be contemporary, but displayed in an outdated manner because that's how things still are made.The other use of this trope is to avoid showing the viewer a dull and realistic map. This is mostly used in video games, to give the world map a more enjoyable presentation.In fiction, many maps don't just warn its readers of the great perils on their way, but sometimes also contain other pieces of information, such as the location of cities and landmarks, pointed by [[StylisticSuck stylistically out-of-scale]] drawings.Because [[AltumVidetur Everything's Better In Latin]], also sometimes seen as its original spelling, ''Hic sunt dracones''.Do not mistake this with HereThereWereDragons, which is about the existence of magic (and even dragons) sometime in the past of the setting of a fictional work. Also not to be confused with [[WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou the fantasy movie review show by Nash of TGWTG]].----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* Skypiea's map in ''OnePiece'' had several symbols, including a ziggurat (marking the position of [[spoiler:Eldorado]]) and some devilish creature roaming through the land.* The Magic World's map in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has 'here be magical creatures' in chapter 190.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animated]]* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' has a map with, wouldn't you know it, dragons. This is meant literally, as it signals the dragon's nest.* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'' had the Pirate Captain lamenting that they'll never make it where they're headed in time because -- as he points out on the map -- there's a big sea monster in the way. Charles Darwin (who is traveling with them, [[ItMakesSenseInContext because of reasons]]) asserts that they just put those there for decoration. Sure enough, they make it there without a hitch. [[spoiler:Only to have the ship chomped and spat back out by a ''real'' sea monster just before the end credits.]]* The credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}'' did this with submarines, which appear to serve as stand-ins for whales.* One Disney-themed map of the world did this with characters from ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid''.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* In ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', during Barbossa and Jack's swordfight, Barbossa gloats over Jack having gotten in way over his head (by, y'know, engaging in single combat with an immortal), taunting him by saying "You're off the edge of the map, matey. Here there be monsters!"* ''Film/JackbootsOnWhitehall''. The excessive detail of the map of Britain stops abruptly at the Scottish border, which shows [[GrimUpNorth no towns or roads at all]].[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* The map in ''Literature/TheHobbit'' depicts the location of Smaug's Lair with the drawing of a dragon, and spiders on the Dark Forest. It also has an arrow pointing off the edge of the plotted area, noting that to the north lies a terrible wasteland "whence came the Great Wyrms".* Parodied in Literature/{{Discworld}}, where tourists' maps of Anhk-Morpork are labelled "Here Be Dragons" to mark the location of the Sunshine Sanctuary For Sick Dragons, a veterinary hospital. The same phrase appears over the actual Sanctuary's entrance as grafitti.** Elsewhere in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' we're told that cartographers sometimes got so carried away with drawing sea monsters that they forgot to put the boring countries and so on in at all.** In a meta example, we have this quote from Terry Pratchett explaining why he didn't provide a map of Discworld the way Tolkien did with Middle Earth (before he changed his mind and released one anyway):-->''You can't map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs.''* In a rather wonderful moment in ''Literature/TheHighCrusade'', the narrator (a Medieval monk) criticizes a technologically advanced alien map. Sure, it might be ''accurate'', but its lack of dragons, mermaids, sea serpents and such ornamentation shows a poverty of cultural imagination and depth.%% ''Literature/GatheringBlue'' had this.* Discussed in the LordPeterWimsey story "The Learned Adventure of the Dragon's Head". One of the things that arouses Lord Peter's suspicion of the villain is that he claims to have seen "hic dracones" on the maps in a mediaeval book. Lord Peter, being an actual book collector, knows how unlikely this is.* Throughout the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse novel ''Crosscurrent'' TheHero Jaden Korr uses "There be Dragons...", when thinking about his doubts about himself, the force, and everything.* There is a fairly obscure book series by James A. Owen that is all about this trope, and cartography in general. The title of the first book is the name of this trope. The series name is ''The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica'', and it's about TheMultiverse of written fiction in one alternate dimension.* ''[[Literature/HereBeDragons Here Be Dragons]]'' is a science fiction novel whose main character keeps a print of a centuries old map which seems to be a cross between the Lenox globe and the Carta Marina.* The maps seen at the beginning of T.A. Barron's ''Literature/TheLostYearsOfMerlin'' series feature this, with various creatures depicted in the series, such as kreelixes.* ''Literature/HitherbyDragons'' takes this trope as its main theme (and indeed, its very title): in the same way as map-makers didn't know what the world was like physically, and thus drew dragons to represent the unknown, Hitherby's characters don't know the answers to big philosophical questions, but still try to find them, in their own ways.* The non-fiction French book ''Tour du monde des terres françaises oubliées'' ("Circumnavigation of Forgotten French Lands", which is about the obscure tiny isolated islands owned by France: Clipperton, Chesterfield, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, etc) comes with a map indicating the location of the various lands mentioned in the book. [[http://www.liberation.fr/voyages/2014/05/28/une-pluie-de-confettis-tricolores_1027878 The map is decorated with various fantastic creatures]].[[/folder]][[folder:Live Action TV]]* On ''Series/HeadOfTheClass'' Billy Connolly referenced this in the context of showing off the new world maps the school bought - he said the other ones were so old they had "Here dragons be" indicators.* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the opening of "The Last of the Time Lords" reveals that the planet Earth and our entire solar system was declared strictly off-limits by the rest of the universe, after Master seized control of the planet during "[[AlternateTimeline The Year]] [[ResetButton That Never Was]]".* Discussed by [[BigBad Lorne Malvo]] in the pilot of ''Series/{{Fargo}}'' while attempting to warn off an inquisitive traffic cop, suggesting that poking into his affairs will not end any better than attempting to chart such seas.* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode, "Where Silence Has Lease", while the Enterprise explores an unexplained spatial anomaly, Picard and Riker commented on the superstitions of ancient sailors on Earth during or before the Dark Ages. Picard mentions "Beyond this place, there be dragons."[[/folder]][[folder:Tabletop Games]]* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' marks its map of the [[GrimUpNorth northlands]] and [[MysteriousAntarctica southern wastes]] '[[TheLegionsOfHell Here There Be Daemons]]'. ''They're right.''* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' has [[SpaceWhale space monsters]] on its star charts. Again, they're ''right''.* ''TabletopGame/HcSvntDracones'' has it in the title. It largely refers to the horrors of post-nuclear armageddon Earth, which the Corporations of Mars, Venus, and Jupiter largely aren't even going to touch.[[/folder]][[folder:The Other Wiki]]* An [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragons article on the subject]] with plenty of both RealLife and fictional examples.[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/WarioLand: The Shake Dimension'' had [[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/0/02/Wlsi_shake_dimension_map.jpg one of these maps]]. Note the mermaid, sea serpent and octopus-like creature in various points on the map and the old-fashioned compass (itself something many of these maps also contain).* [[http://static.tibia.com/images/library/map_big.jpg The Map of]] ''VideoGame/{{Tibia}}''.* Fanciful illustrations can be found on the in-game ''VideoGame/{{Arcanum}}'' world map, in keeping with the setting. Most of these pictures are of animals not found in that locale, or at all, but at least one provides a little hint of what you'll find there.* ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' had the actual line ''"Here Be Dragons"'' on a globe in the observatory.* An EasterEgg in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoChinatownWars'' references the trope: swim out to any of the four corner of the game map, and you'll find a sign with old-script telling you that "Here Be Dragons", which is as good a HandWave as any for why you can't get away from Liberty City.* In ''Return to Ravenhearst'', the schoolroom where Rose's daughters were indoctrinated by Charles Dalimar has a crude outline of England and Wales on its wall map, in which everything else is blank and marked "unknown". No actual monsters are depicted, but the creepiness of the script implies that horrible things lurk beyond the borders.* In ''VideoGame/{{Risen}}'' while there's no mention on the map, if you go out too far into the sea, a giant sea monster bursts out of the water and eats you. Humorously, you'll wake up on the beach a bit later without any harm. Observe [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUfkXsG5tc8 here]].* In the intro to the original ''VideoGame/{{Colonization}}'' your colony ship sails across one of these, encountering various sea serpents and anthropomorphic storm clouds as it goes.* Played with in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge'' where the map shows the three main islands as well as a bunch of superfluous symbols in the blank areas. Clicking anywhere near them makes Captain Dread exclaim "We can't go there, mon. That's the forbidden triangle", or any other shape, including elliptic hyperboloid.* ''MinerVGA'' will display "Here Be Dragons" if you try to go off the left or right edges of the playable area. Yes, even if you do it underground.** FridgeBrilliance: don't dragons live in ''caves''?* The ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' expansion includes a Viking mission where you have to get to the New World. To avoid the simple idea of sailing around Greenland, there's some odd water to the South that destroyes your ships. After conquering some of Greenland, the area's revealed by the computer, showing the shape of a dragon on the minimap.* In ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople: Strong Badia the Free'', the map has a drawing of Strong Bad's dragon Trogdor on it, labeled "Here Be Trogdors".[[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* Political sketches: [[http://www.welfarestate.com/map/ This map]].* ''FreemansMind'': In one episode Gordon Freeman encounters an utterly useless map and mocks it by using this trope:--->'''[=Freeman=]:''' Oh sweet a map! Ok so where am I ... which way's North? Maintenance shaft ... that .. could be anything; half this building is a maintenance shaft. What's that big room, is that where the monster is? What about this radiation pit? High voltage ... that has to be where I came from. But what the hell is with these distances then? Why are parts of this map grayed out? Is it haunted? WHY IS THERE NO EXIT ON THIS MAP? Is there a landmark ...? This map is bullshit; I'm gonna find my own way out of here. That map has to be bogus; it only lists one area as being dangerous. It needs to have, like, 30. You could even write "Here be dragons" on it, and it would almost be more accurate than nothing at all.[[/folder]][[folder:Web Comics]]* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' [[http://xkcd.com/256/ Map of Online Communities]] "Here be [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom anthromorphic dragons]]"* [[http://www.wapsisquare.com/d/20090227.html This]] ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' strip.* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' has, according to an old tome, "[[http://yafgc.net/comic/0471-the-tomb-of-temshutep/ a deadly labyrinth filled with creatures most foul]]". Given that the members of this specific party are [[MonsterAdventurers drow, half-orc, hobgoblin, minotaur and illithid]], their reaction is... rather predictable.* In ''Webcomic/{{Endtown}}'' maps of the post-apocalyptic surface world are a bit, [[http://www.gocomics.com/endtown/2009/04/23 inadequate]].[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In an episode where Homer went on a sea voyage, it was [[TravelMontage montaged by a dotted line]] traveling across such a map. [[LampshadeHanging He crashed into the compass rose, and avoided the sea serpent outright]].* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[http://fav.me/d5atqq7 Hasbro released an official map of Equestria in early August 2012]]. A remark in the lower right corner tells the reader of the dragons' whereabouts, to the southeast, with the words, "Dragons be here." The same map also points out that Griffins live to the east in the same manner. [[DontExplainTheJoke The subversion, of course]], comes from the fact that both are well-known and contacted sapient species in-universe, and so the labels make perfect sense, but are used for entirely different reasons than usual. Played straighter with the [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW IDW comic]]'s [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map-south_of_Equestria-scan-IDW_main_series_MLPFiM_comic_2.jpg South of Equestria]] map, which warns "Here there be monkeys, guard your valuables", "Beware the dangers of the Forest, they be too many a number to document", and "Elephant sightings reported". [[/folder]][[folder:Real Life]]* In "The Map" brand map of the [[BigApplesauce New York City]] Subway system, the island of Manhattan is bordered to the west by an [[ArtisticLicenseGeography abnormally wide Hudson River]] with the various rail lines that cross the river to New Jersey simply vanishing off the edge. While "Here Be Dragons" is not actually written on The Map that or [[{{Joisey}} a similar statement seems to be implied. ]][[/folder]]----

They show up on time and don't get drunk on the job. In honor of WALL-E, here's a selection of some of the many robot bands on the Internet. It apparently is an old tradition, as witness some badly filmed footage of a 1950s French robot band playing a Richie Valens hit. "They play on authentic instruments!" it says underneath.
More boogie-woogie rhythm in this cover version of the Cash/Carter hit "Jackson," but the robots are just so damned scary:
And now for the future of robot bands, from New Zealand: Meet the Trons!
and the behind-the-scenes video:
I liked how the TV reporter from Hamilton, N.Z., b-rolled to one depressing cloudy podunky New Zealand street when explanations get too technical for the tiny mind of the journalists.

Personality change is a noticeable difference in the established structure of a person's character. Personality changes usually occur in adults, but may occur in children.
Change in personality.
Personality changes are alterations in the behavior, thinking and interactions of a person from their established character. These changes may be indicative of chemical dependencies, psychiatric illness, dementia, trauma, illness, altered body chemistry or temperature, or poisoning. Personality change should be taken seriously and reported to the primary care provider of the affected person. Personality changes may impair relationships with others at home, on the job, or result in legal difficulties.
Personality changes due to a medical condition are also called secondary personality disorders or organic personality syndrome. In these cases, the personality changes are due to disease that affects the brain and may herald a significant brain disease, such as dementia.
A complete history and physical, examination and diagnostic studies by a physician are warranted for a diagnosis. Treatment will depend on symptoms and diagnosis. If the personality change puts the person or others at risk, legal guardianship or protective custody may be necessary.
Any time personality changes are observed. They may be a sign of serious underlying illness and should be thoroughly evaluated.

I love Remote, use on both my iPhone and iPad. However, after upgrading the iPad to iOS 7, the app no longer rotates to horizontal view - in fact, it doesn't rotate at all. Bad enough no horizontal, but to not rotate at all means that I can't orient my iPad angled up, while having the power cord plugged in at the bottom?
Seems so strange that this would be changed - why? Maybe I need to re-install?

Canada I haven't tried for too long, but seems up to the job. It is not sudsy, more like a cream that you have to put on scalp and leave for a while to clear the dandruff. I find that it cannot be used on its own, but combined with another shampoo at the end. I'll use once a week as a treatment and I hope it will be ok. The smell is strong, smells like sulphur but it's not that strong. Update:unfortunately, the shampoo doesn't work for me anymore. it makes my hair oily and the dandruff is back just as before...so sad,I had high hopes..:(
Dry skin? It works!

After reading the reviews, I decided to buy this for my husband. It smells like Selsun Blue, but works in fighting the dandruff and itchy head. It is okay to use it with a preferred conditioner and the dandruff has lessen to minimum.
Not what I expected...Very Stinky and had to Stop Using it.

I have issues with dry scalp and I thought I would give this product a try before winter sets in. First, it really stinks, and not in a good way. Later in the day, my hair looked extremely dry and brittle. My spouse, wouldn't even go near me - my hair stank so bad and it looked like I was wearing a hair helmet. No thanks! Can't even comment on whether it was a good dandruff shampoo, cause I stopped using it. Buyer Beware.

My father has severely suffered from the problem of dandruff and flaky scalp for years. He has tried many products, but I must say this one is the best. It cleans up the dandruff and flakes thoroughly, leaving a smooth feeling on the scalp. After using one bottle only, my father has no more itchy scalp and dandruff. It is so amazing and unbelievable. Thank Jason Natural for having this great therapy.

When autocracy sneezes, Asia catches cold. Russia's naked power grab in the Caucasus will have global repercussions, nowhere more so than in Asia. While Europe now contemplates a return to long-term tension on Russia's southwestern borders, Moscow's act of war will have lasting effects far from the Black Sea, namely the threat to democratic trends in Asia, and the bolstering of China's global position.
The struggle for freedom in Asia has changed millions of lives, and yet is an unfinished battle. Asia's young democracies, from Mongolia to Taiwan, are no doubt chilled by Georgia's plight. The naked use of force against a sovereign, democratic state by a gargantuan rival sends a message hard to miss. Whatever the pretext, be it natural resources, separatist movements, or old territorial disputes, the reassertion of might over right threatens the political gains of the past decades that have helped Asia become the most vibrant region on earth. Anti-liberal forces at home in these smaller nations will take comfort from the reversion to a machtpolitik world, while other national elites may well be willing to compromise their freedoms to maintain their economic privileges.
Equally threatening to the preservation of young democracies in Asia is the failed Western response to Russia depredation. If Taiwan, even South Korea, feels it can no longer count on the power of the United States to protect it, then there is every incentive to look for patronage from nations willing to use force. Mongolia and the Philippines, even ASEAN as a whole, will think twice about working with Washington or seeking deeper ties, be they economic or political. They understand that they cannot put even part of their national destinies in our hands when we lack the will to support those states that choose to join the liberal community of nations. It is easier to accept the suzerainty of regional autocrats whose extortion demands at least result in protection under the flag of global thuggery.
Yet Washington should be equally concerned that China will emerge a big winner from Russia's actions. At the most basic level, Beijing's autocrats must feel relief that George Bush's second inaugural promise, that "it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation," is just mere words when put to the test by regional aggressors. Whatever their ultimate goals, China's leaders know that these will be more easily achieved in the absence of America's willingness to defend international law, protect friends, and possibly even rescue allies. Such was the impetus behind Beijing's voicing support for Russia's "active role" in Georgia at last week's gathering of Central Asian autocrats, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
At a more nuanced level, however, Beijing's rulers also know they look like, well, like "responsible stakeholders" compared to the crudity and aggression of the Russians. While Medvedev and Putin were squelching Georgia, President Hu and Premier Wen were basking in an Olympic, make that Olympian, glow. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, in town for the sports, conferred with Hu, and China proffered statesman-like calls for restraint to the delight of the assembled media.
This public relations approach will win China plaudits as a respectable broker in international crises. No doubt many will see Beijing as a benign great power, one with tanks and missiles and submarines to be sure, but who refrains from using them, a la other responsible powers. China's long-term repression of Tibet, bullying of neighboring nations over land- or sea-based borders, support for totalitarian North Korea, and stranglehold over Taiwan's future can all be downplayed since Hu has the modicum of self-control lacking in Vladimir Putin. And, those who believe America must work ever harder not to antagonize China, not push it towards irresponsible behavior (as though the choice was ours), will undoubtedly point to the Beijing's triumphal August as the proof needed for Washington to put aside its misplaced doubts and embrace Beijing's place in the sun.
Could there be one silver lining lurking in the clouds? Perhaps President Hu and his coterie will like being compared favorably to Russia, will enjoy being the toast of the international community. In that case, they will know that acting like Putin will cost them that most-favored-nation position, and that a bullying, threatening posture may take the bloom off the rose. On the other hand, they can look at NATO's feeble "consideration of sanctions" and America's hesitant and inadequate response and take heart. Unless the next American President makes a credible recommitment to protecting democratic states, followed by measurable action, all Asia will know which way the wind is blowing.

text: Expressing displeasure over the fact that the theme of martial arts movies is "always revenge," Jet Li has told the Los Angeles Times that he will no longer make such films. Li made his remarks on the eve of the opening of his latest film, Fearless, about a Chinese martial arts master who died in 1910. "In this movie and in my past three movies, I continue to say that violence is not any solution," Li told the Times. He said that he had become concerned that the spirit of martial arts, wushu, had become lost in movies, especially when young people confronted him. "On the street, I see a lot of young teenagers saying, 'Hey, Jet Lit. Beat up somebody! Fight! Fight!" The true meaning of wushu, he said, is "stop fighting."

The shelters where Gardner found temporary safe harbor for himself and his son were operated by ministries. And, when he was at rock bottom, when it seemed like things could not get worse, there he was in the shelter church, bolstering his faith to go on.
It's an important message for a Christmas season film. Particularly at a time when somehow it has become in vogue, or expedient, to call Christmas a secular holiday. The film reminds us of the dangers of dealing with either the worst of times or the best of times without awareness of that which lies beyond us.
And, of course, a film taking its title from Thomas Jefferson's famous words about "the pursuit of happiness" is indeed a film about our USA.
We are taking a beating these days, and I'm not talking about Iraq. I'm talking about a world in which it is becoming more and more acceptable to hate America. And, I'm talking about a kind of black mood and depression that has been gripping us at home.
The Pursuit of Happyness rings out the year with a reminder of the singular greatness of our country. If the Iraqis, the French, or anyone else wants to know what freedom is about, they can visit us and see.
The only barriers to success in America are those that individuals erect for themselves.
Chris Gardner's story shows us that the formula for realizing dreams is a free country with men and women of character and faith.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

If you've been holding out on upgrading to broadband, you will soon lose your last excuse. Telstra's move this month to launch ADSL2+ and uncap its ADSL1 services means the nation will shortly be drowning in super-speed broadband.
Of course, not everyone can immediately take advantage of the higher speeds -- ADSL2+ is still primarily sold in population-dense metropolitan areas, and it will take some time before other Internet service providers work out deals with Telstra where they too can offer uncapped ADSL1 across the nation.
Nonetheless, Telstra's move, along with the ever-expanding ADSL2+ networks of other telcos represents a major jump in Internet bandwidth that is finally paving the way for Australians to get access to the kind of broadband that other countries have been enjoying for years.
What is ADSL2+?
ADSL2+ is a souped-up version of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) technology, which transmits data using a certain frequency range on the copper 'local loop' cable connecting the phone in your house with your local telephone exchange.
When it was first introduced, ADSL was a significant step forward in Internet access, since it didn't require the availability of cable service and could coexist with voice phone services.
Other types of DSL, such as SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line), are used by businesses requiring a particular type of connection, but ADSL proved ideal for Internet use, with a download channel many times faster than its upload channel.
ADSL1 performance varies with distance from the exchange, but could reach 8 megabits per second (Mbps) within 1.5km of the exchange. Telstra has previously limited ADSL1 to 1.5Mbps downstream and 256kbps upstream, but on 10 November the telco uncapped ADSL1 to allow up to 8Mbps downstream and 384kbps upstream.
ADSL2+, officially known as ITU G.992.5, boosts the download channel to a maximum of 24Mbps and offers a more modest increase to upstream speeds to let you send data at around 1Mbps (some ISPs such as Internode have started trialling boosted upstream speeds up to 2.5Mbps, under the 'Annex M' standard).
It does this through tweaking of the methods ADSL used to push data over your last-mile wire, with new technologies improving transmission efficiency and providing greater resilience to noise. (As a side note, don't confuse ADSL2+ with ADSL2 [ITU G992.3 and 992.4], a short-lived improvement on ADSL that was simply passed over in Australia and most other countries.)
Some providers such as iiNet, Internode, Adam Internet and others have been offering uncapped ADSL1 and ADSL2+ speeds in limited areas for some time.
Why do I need higher speeds?
Upstream speed is mainly important if you frequently send pictures or video to people, but the increased download speeds of ADSL2+ will be the real kicker, since it will deliver content at far faster speeds and enable the rapid transport of massive files, particularly videos and feature films.
If you're a big iPod user, for example, that means you will be able to download a feature-length movie from Apple's iTunes Store about 15 times faster than you could under the old 1.5Mbps speeds offered by most ISPs -- whenever Apple gets around to releasing movies on the Australian version of the store, that is.
Indeed, movie downloads will be an obvious early target for any ADSL2+ provider: in July, for example, ADSL2+ aspirant Netspace snatched up online DVD rental service WebFlicks. This deal gives Netspace a relatively successful real-world movie distribution business which, when backed by a high-speed ADSL2+ service, would seemingly pave the way for downloads on demand.
Telstra already offers some movie downloads through its BigPond Movies site, and does not count data from that site towards the download quota of its broadband services.
Although video downloads will likely be a popular first destination for ADSL2+ users, the overall faster Web experience will also pave the way for home users to broaden their use of a range of data services.
With that much bandwidth coming into your home, it will be possible for a single data connection to support multiple Internet radio, videoconferencing, voice over IP (VoIP) and even live TV signals at the same time -- and here's where it gets interesting.
Such 'triple-play' services have been talked about for many years, and are becoming a reality in other countries where more proactive carriers have worked overtime to bring new services to the market. In those environments, a single ISP could bundle data, voice and digital TV services over a single connection that does not, as is currently the case, have to be a cable TV connection.
ADSL2+ is your best bet for being able to buy decent triple-play services. A recent report by the national competition regulator found that ADSL was the most popular broadband technology Down Under, with around 72 percent of broadband services being ADSL.

- Almost all of Red's one-liners. Most of the viewers watch the show because of it. There's a compilation of his best lines so far.
Season 1
- The pilot episode where Tom and Liz were greeted by several FBI agents outside their residence when they drove in from FBI Headquarters that the latter said that she didn't need to hitch a ride with her husband.
- When Reddington was injected with a tracking device, he says "Ouch" in a bored tone like it's a normal routine for him.
- Anslo Garrick, in a brief cross into Laughably Evil:
Tom: Who the hell is this?
- Firmly cementing his status as a Magnificent Bastard: after forcing Harold to open the box, Red waits calmly until it has retracted all the way, adjusts his shirt and takes a step off the base of the cell before looking up and reacting in surprise, as if he had just noticed that he was surrounded by gunmen, hostages, and Anslo Garrick.
Red: Anslo, what are you doing here?
- A few of the moments from Red's Roaring Rampage of Revenge manage to come across as this:
Red: "Oh, the suspense is killing me!" (shoots the guy in the chest)
- After dousing a money launderer in vodka, he sticks a lit cigar in his mouth... and then decides he's taking too long to catch fire.
Red: "Janice, my sincerest apologies. I'll take a rain check on the stroganoff. It smells delicious."Red (after locking a freaked out Janice in the closet): If you don't stop screaming, I'll have to shoot through this closet door, and that's going to suck 'cause I'll have no idea what I'm shooting at.
- His interactions with Janice, Henry's (the banker's) wife, especially his exasperation at her constant screaming, eventually tossing her into the closet. Red even said sorry for ruining the dinner.
- Red casually swinging on a swingset in "General Ludd."
- This from "The Cyprus Agency":
Evil Cornered Lawyer: "The truth is, the agency is-" (immediately gets hit by a random bus)
- Have you ever wanted to see Raymond Reddington act like a Camp Gay? "Madeline Pratt" grants your wish, where he does this to distract a guard and rescue a tied-up Liz, by among other things, claiming she's Bashir al-Assad's mistress.
Keen: What the hell was that?Reddington: I don't know, it just felt right.
- There's something inherently funny about Lance Reddick dressed as a cowboy.
Reddington: Why?Cowboy: Because I don't like you. And that hat makes your head look stupid.Reddington: Finally, the pot meets the kettle.
- Red sarcastically complimenting him on his hat, telling him it takes "a certain kind of man" to wear it.
- The final exchange between the two, when Reddick's character says he's going to charge Reddington double for dealing with Jolene.
- The unusual sight of Dembe eating ice cream while surrounded by a huge stash of weed.
- In a previous episode, Dembe randomly complimenting the color of Lizzie's kitchen.
- This gem:
"Dembe, get the hacksaw; we're gonna have to take this guy outta here in pieces."
- While Red is talking to an associate as the latter swims in his pool, Red has this gem:
Reddington: I was a lifeguard my junior year in high school. Had to give CPR to Mrs. Beerman...she coughed up a lungful of corn beef and chlorine and I haven't been in a pool since.
- Made even funnier when the associate responds "I'm sorry, weren't you in the Navy?"
- Red breaks into the Russian Ambassador's quarters and is found holding the man's adorable little dog in one arm and a knife in the opposite hand. When the Ambassador angrily warns Red that he will die if the little dog is hurt, Red pretends to be offended at the suggestion that he would hurt a dog, goes to give the little dog a kiss... and then tosses the knife straight into the Ambassador's leg.
Season 2
- Reddington's "negotiation" with Yaabari in "Lord Baltimore", which include air strikes on his camp in Cameroon. All without being nervous.
- In "Monarch Douglas Bank", Red and Dembe go to visit a baker who also happens to be an arms dealer... and who dotes on Dembe like he's her favorite grandson.
- Reddington's comments about Vargas in "Dr. James Covington". According to him, he resembles someone from a Humphrey Bogart movie.
- Ressler telling Liz that he's Crazy-Prepared to have a spare key in case of emergencies. The said key being a crowbar.
- Mr. Kaplan working on an impromptu autopsy at the grave of a victim as if it was a daily routine for her. Liz kept her nose covered due to the stench.
- Reddington trying to avoid getting Haskel mad over a Noodle Incident in "Dr. Linus Creel" that involves the latter waking up in a hotel room without any memory of how he got there.
- Luther Braxton and Red discussing philosophical quotes.
Red: A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.Braxton: Is that Nietzsche?Red: No, Bruce Lee.
- Samar teases Aram near the end of "Deer Hunter" by telling him that he's still sexy even if he goes bald. Aram denies it at all.
- Crosses into Black Comedy when Reddington shoots Earl in "T. Earl King VI" with a revolver his two sons were using for Russian roulette since it previously failed to fire.
Red: (After shooting Earl) Oh, my God. What are the odds?
Liz: I always thought you just had allergies.
- Earlier in the same episode, Elizabeth gets a call from Tom, who ends up giving her some pointers about going undercover, like pretending to sneeze if someone asks a question that might trip her up.
- When Liz was interrogated by a judge on the cases Reddington worked on in "The Major".
Judge: How many of these cases has Reddington given you?[Montage of cases Liz and the Task Force has worked on]Liz: He keeps us busy.
Season 3
- Aram hugging Ressler at the end of "Arioch Cain". Ressler warns him not to do it again over a misunderstanding when ADA Reven Wright thought that they were having a Ho Yay moment.
- Reddington's blackmailing of a Venezuelan official in Virginia by giving him a hug and telling him that the photos could seal his fate if the press knows of his meeting with Reddington. He later says that it's for his photo album.
