Sorry for the duplicate posts, I didn't see the moderator approval message.
recently I've been playing around with processing.js (reading inputs from arduino) is it possible to integrate the js apps into this front end? if it is possible... can i PLEASE put in a feature request to include that! that would be amazing!
Hey guys. I don't see why this wouldn't work on another hardware platform, as long as it runs Android. My immediate concern would be the touch interface. Things like the maps use the multitouch, and I don't know about any screens (Liliput for example) that use capacitive touch, they all use resistive, not allowing for multitouch.
As for the Arduino side, the code there is really nothing I want to share at the moment, it is not ready to be shared.
Interfacing with the windows isn't really that hard in my case, because I am doing ALL of the wiring custom, there is nothing stock any more. In anybody else's case this won't be the same. So, to get low level hardware control will need some electrical knowledge and willing to cut into the harness, unless you can control things via the CAN-BUS or something, then there are Arduino modules for that (I don't have any though, so I've not written any code to support them).
Currently I am still designing and prototyping the interface hardware, and am working on modularity, but life being what it is, these things take time.
My hope in sharing my code is that somebody (or multiple people) would want to contribute and the whole project can grow faster and in ways I never thought, but so far there has been a fair amount of interest in use, and nothing in development.
Sorry for the noob question, but have you literally wired your Arduino kit up to the window controls and stuff? And then the Arduino to the Tablet, or are there specific "car shields" for the Arduino?
just pushed a new apk with a pretty significant bug fix. something that i've been banging my head about for a while.
Commenting to save this to look at when im not sleep deprived...
also glad to see another guy on Air around here
Wouldn't it be so awesome if android would let you embed external activities (Apps) in your own? That way you could just build the UI with hardware car controls and maybe music player and settings and in a "canvans" in the center of the screen you'd have external apps running (like waze).
Sad that it's not possible.

H(oil)*g*(oil density) + Po
= 0.63*9.8*700 + Po
= 4.32*10^3 N/m^2 + Po
Po is atmospheric pressure. At sea level, it is about 1.013*10^5 N/m^2
Po must be added to the pressure that is due to the height of the oil column

Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved
Volume 22, Number 1, February 2011
pp. 243-257
Background. Provider recommendation is critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening participation, yet few data exist on practices of providers serving American Indians and Alaska Natives. We examined Indian Health Service (IHS) and tribal provider practices, beliefs about screening efficacy, and perceptions of barriers.
Methods. We developed a Web-based questionnaire and recruited respondents via electronic distribution lists. We generated descriptive statistics by region, provider type, and workplace setting.
Results. Most respondents (77%) recommend starting CRC screening of average-risk patients at age 50; however, 22% recommend flexible sigmoidoscopy and 43% colonoscopy at intervals inconsistent with national guidelines. Of those recommending fecal occult blood test (FOBT), 23% use a single, in-office FOBT card as their only FOBT method. Respondents reported barriers to screening to include underutilized reminder systems and inadequate resources.
Conclusions. Indian Health Service/tribal providers are knowledgeable about when to begin CRC screening; however, education about the appropriate use and frequency of CRC tests is needed.

US under fire over its massive espionage activities [Norman Stockwell @ PressTV]
- Uploaded by Ur_lnner_Voice on Jan 16, 2014
- Views: 74
A new report says the US National Security Agency uses technology that can even spy on offline computers.
The New York Times report, which is based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, says the NSA planted secret devices on 100-thousand computers. The devices can reportedly send radio waves to transfer data without being connected to the internet. The report says the NSA has used the program, code-named Quantum, to target Russian and Chinese military networks, drug cartels and trade institutions inside the European Union. The US has come under fire for its massive espionage activities on US citizens and residents of other countries and even world leaders.

How to show only a select few tumblr posts on an html5 page?
Ticket by pnijjar
November 18, 2012
Hi guys,
On my home page at www.carriagewest.ca, in the News section I'm trying to show the most recent Tumblr posts that I created - or even just a select few Tumblr posts. I already have Tumblr app/feed added on my Blog page and that works as expected. Now I want just a simple 'news roll' on the home page that shows the latest or a select few Tumblr posts as image/heading links. When I go to the app market and try to add a tumblr app instance on this page in the News section, it does not do anything. No message is displayed either.
Is there any way to make this happen or is this feature not even supported?

Wix currently does not have a widget like the one you are suggesting. The tumbler app can only be added on its own page and display the entire blog.

BAKER TILLY restructuring partner Simon Bonney is joining niche insolvency practice Quantuma Restructuring.
He will be joined by several former RSM Tenon colleagues. Southampton-based Quantuma Restructuring was created by former RSM Tenon head of restructuring Carl Jackson (pictured) alongside fellow ex-RSM Tenon partners Paul Goddard and Kelly Mitchell.
Further reading
Quantuma is expanding its reach with a new London office, with Bonney running that practice. Joining him at that office is business development director Barrie Ross-Dow and PA Corrin Donovan.
Jackson said: "With the opening of a London office we are able to expand our coverage and we are delighted that Simon will be leading the office with a new team. This is another significant step in the development of Quantuma Restructuring."
Bonney originally joined listed firm Vantis as client partner at the end of 2008. However, the firm collapsed in 2010 with RSM Tenon buying some elements out of administration. He then became restructuring partner at RSM Tenon in June 2010. Listed firm RSM Tenon collapsed in September 2010 with Baker Tilly buying the business via a pre-pack administration. Bonney was partner at Baker Tilly for less than a year before making his current move.
In December last year, Quantuma bought two former RSM Tenon practices from Baker Tilly, based in Marlow and Brighton.
The acquisition from Baker Tilly included all business and assets including the offices, staff and caseload.
Jackson stepped down from RSM Tenon in September 2012, succeeded by Chris Ratten.
RSM Tenon acquired Bentley Jennison in 2010 for £76m creating RSM Tenon. However, the firm struggled: in 2011 it restated its accounts after the discovery of accounting discrepancies. The firm then had to post a £71m loss, with CEO Andy Raynor and chairman Bob Morton stepping down.
The firm then announced it was in merger discussions with Baker Tilly with a decision to be announced in September, however, RSM Tenon was bought by Baker Tilly via a pre-packaged administration.

The spine actually is surrounded by CSF (cerebalspinal fluid) In other words, fluid on the spine is really very normal. I know what you kind of mean though, the "disease" fluid on the spine, or water on the spine, usually relates to a herniated disc and has nothing to do with spinal fluid, but rather the soft tissue that should cushion each small bone in the spine from the next not doing it's job because of one disc rupturing, usually as a result of impact trauma.
i dont know the exact causes, ut ur right u spinal tap is needed usually between th 5th and 6th vertebrae, heres a link that might explain a bit more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringomyelia
i don't know what causes it. but don't they have to " tap " into your spine with a needle and drain it ? and one wrong move could leave you parralized ?

Indoctrination U: Secular Creationism
Byline: David Horowitz, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A year ago the biggest issue in education after budgets was whether "intelligent design" should be taught in the nation's schools. Opponents called it a form of "creationism" and the press dubbed the ensuing legal battle as the biggest clash between faith and science the Scopes Monkey Trial.
In a stinging rebuke to the religious right, a Pennsylvania judge ruled "intelligent design" had no place in classrooms because it was "a religious view, a mere relabeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory," thus violating the separation of church and state.
Yet at that very moment professors in American universities were teaching a form of secular creationism as contrary to the findings of modern science as the biblical claim that God had made the world in seven days.
The name of this theory is "social constructionism," and its churches are Women's Studies departments in universities across the United States. The feminist theory of social construction maintains that the differences between men and women apart from obvious anatomical ones are not biologically determined but created by a patriarchal social structure designed by men to oppress women. It is "patriarchal society" that turns naturally bisexual infants into male and female personalities by conditioning them from birth to adopt gender roles the one aggressive, masculine and destined to command, the other passive, feminine and slated to obey.
Critics of feminism such as Christina Hoff Sommers and neuroscientists such as Harvard's Stephen Pinker have pointed out that this view contradicts the findings of modern science evolutionary psychology, neuroscience and biology in particular. Men are known to cluster in significantly greater numbers at the high end of testing for mathematical aptitude, though they cluster in greater numbers at the low end of that bell curve as well. The scientific evidence is summarized in a recent book, "Sex Differences in Cognitive Ability," whose author, Diane Halperin, is president of the American Psychological Association and was a social constructionist herself before reviewing the scientific literature. She concludes: "Socialization practices are undoubtedly important, but there is also good evidence that biological differences play a role in establishing and maintaining cognitive sex differences, a conclusion I wasn't prepared to make when I began reviewing the relevant literature."
Similarly, male aggression and competitiveness are not created out of whole cloth by a patriarchal system of dominance, as Women's Studies feminists argue but are to a significant degree hormone-inspired. …

Selenium is a trace mineral that our bodies use to produce glutathione peroxidase . Glutathione peroxidase is part of the body's antioxidant defense system; it works with vitamin E to protect cell membranes from damage caused by dangerous, naturally occurring substances known as free radicals. China has very low rates of colon cancer, presumably because of the nation's low-fat diet. However, in some parts of China where the soil is depleted of selenium, the incidence of various types of cancer is much higher than in the rest of the country. This fact has given rise to a theory that selenium deficiency is a common cause of cancer, and that selenium supplements can reduce this risk.As we will see, there is some preliminary evidence that selenium supplements might provide some protection against some types of cancer among people living in the US, but this evidence is far from definitive.

Zilla vs Clover by Guy-InkognitoWatch
©2008-2016 Guy-Inkognito
godzilla vs cloverfield monster.
and kong is hanging around there.
and kong is hanging around there.
the clover filed monster doesn't stand a chance
King Kong has died many years ago b4 Zilla & Clover.
zilla the hero vs clover the evil
LOL Poor Kong.
lol king kong dead
Yay ZILLA !!! KICK its weird looking ears ......... Awesome ;D Like the shadows you gave them
Godzilla all the way baby!
Notice Kong laying down on the ground dead from the sheer scale of this fight. Yeah,there's a reason he isn't popular amongst "Kaiju fans".
Two New York legends going in a death battle. And of course I mean Zilla and Clover.
that person looks too big but amazing go zilla
you draw godzilla 1998 holliwood movie
Clover will properly win because he can take abuse from a Stealth Bomber.
Exactly! While Zilla was defeated by missiles. MISSILES! The things that are like pebbles to Godzilla and many other monsters! Not meaning to bash Zilla so much, but just a little weirded out about that weakness he has.
I still love Zilla though, especially Jr. I think he's a really cool monster with a nice design I feel like he's the new Gorosaurus, also he put up a good fight against Godzilla in the Rulers of the Earth comic.
P.S. I do like the Tri-Star movie its still a monster movie none the less, its a guilty pleasure and popcorn entertainment

Great fight idea, and good job on the art!
This would be an awesome match, though I think zilla would win especially if its the one from the animated series.
Anyways, because of your excellent tastes, I would like to invite you to my facebook group.
It is all about vs matches and character comparisons like this one.
I personally enjoy it and with your rather good tastes you might too.
If you join you naturally can post/link any of your related artwork like this image as well as post any ideas that come to mind.
I would love to see you post your work and ideas on the page

that's a hard one. 2 of my favouite monsters going head to head in a fearace battle. hard to choose, but i guess i'll go for godzilla. sorry clover, your awesome, but not awesome enough
Considering we know only little of what Clover can do, it's kind of hard to say who would win. Comparing them, Zilla is faster, but Clover showed more resiliency. I don't think Clover is all that slow, sure he was walking around rather slow, but I think he can move faster then what we think, that 1 scene where he lunged from the smoke after the B-2 kind of showed otherwise.
1 zilla and zilla jr. are bigger than clover clover being as tall as the statue of liberty with Zilla and Zilla Jr. being half as tall as the Empire State Building 2 Zilla Jr. has Atomic Breath and 3 Zilla Jr. has beaten tougher opponents.
added to fan art in Sci-fi Archives
Not Godzilla, but cool nonetheless. A battle between a couple American Giants.
TOHO may have bought the desine and renamed it but so long as it sais Godzilla on the DVD its Godzilla. and seeing as there godzillas r suposed to come from dinosaurs i think its WELL over do for a redesine based on modern knolage of them
Godzilla wins
great drawing!
great drawing!
that would result in some awsome cataclysim
movie or cartoon series could beat clover any time
I highly doubt the movie 1 he got killed by 6 missiles while Clover took a direct hit from a B-2 attack and got right back up so the cartoon 1 would be a better opponent for Clover.
well there r thears about 98s weekness. for 1 thing it was hit buy missals under water and berryed not to mention shot a butch befor that last seen. also she jade a HUGE clutch of eggs and that could contribute to her weekened stat. and the loce of her young may have taken away her will to live. theres also thears that she didnt die but rather when into saspended animetion to heal up. when u think about the fack there were eggs and how animles act 98 makes sents. she wasent runing from the chopers out of cowerdes. at that point she may have still been carieing the eggs and was there for protecting them. its a shame so many peole falt and disrespect her for being a good mom and slightly realistec but refuse to mention many flose with the 4 or 5 Japanies Godzillas
I'm going to point out the 98 Zilla was a male. Another thing is I don't hate the 98 movie I just don't like it as much as the Japanese Godzilla movies, Zilla has a cool design but I still like the Japanese design better. If the 98 movie had been more like the animated series I'm positive everyone wouldn't be hating on the 98 Godzilla as much.
yah. hell if the human cast was better it would have not reseves so much hate. i can only hope me or some 1 will make it big and beable to buy the rights to 98 and do a realy awsome movie. and i call it a her coss "he" was asexual but hade babys
idk actually i never seen the movie of cloverfield
Well it wasn't really all that good of a movie it was more focused on a bunch of people trying to get out of the city then the creature itself.
Fuck GINO! he's going done! XD seriously if Clover can take missiles and GINO can't... then im pretty sure Clover would murder GINO! Of course the real king Gojira would murder all! XD muahahahaha!
BS first off GODZILLA there is clearlt the hatchling that servived. that meens theres room for more power like in the animated show, that meens thared be a pretty desent fight as Clofers a baby thats lashing out in fear. then theres the fact even Godzilla couldnt beet him but nether would the other Godzillas. Gigantes (the Godzilla seen in Destroy all Monsters and vs Desatroia) couldint even beet him in Burning Godzilla form seeing as he servived a point black Nuculer strike. in fact id say very few Kiju stand a chants. maybe Reltiakes as he can regenerate from every peas of him riped off and can spit acid. but sorry i realy dont think any Godzilla can defet him.
I'm sorry, I don't understand you. I only speak "English"... Thanks!
im dislexic. unless theres tipos its all phinetic. u can sound it out and no i couldnt use spell check
Lol dyslexic or not you don't know what you're talking about hun... No offense. lol Just saying... I don't really want to argue though because I get really mean in debates and you seem too nice and I know later I'll feel guilty. lol So! Lets agree to disagree?
*down not done XD

J W, your rim selection is spot on. Nice large 5 spoke lookin rims always look great. No orange at the front = great. Exhaust tips aren't bad, the interior is pretty pimp, and its a nice look.
The spoiler is definitely different. Can't say I like it, but I can see why others would.
I've got that same bottom grill and I spray painted it black. If I was you, i'd at least paint the edges of the silver and paint that black, while keeping the mesh silver at least. I think it would solidify the bottom grill look much better.
The V badges... yikes. This is what the guys in the V1 forum talk about constantly. The biggest downfall to your car are those badges. Fronting to be a V with badges = Not good. I know that may not have been your intent, but it will be seen as your intent by anyone looking at your car.
I'm not a big fan of stickers on the car, fake vents, chrome autozone crap, and all that. I've mentioned that to the other guys when they joined here. The V emblems are hurting you. Otherwise, the car is damn near perfect.

How confident are you of appointment?
Successfully completed a competency based application before?
Will you be that 1 in 9?
Competition has never been greater
Being a good lawyer is not enough
How do you present in interview?
"Illuminating and invaluable." High Court Appointment
"I was succesful and I just wanted to write and thank you for what I thought was a tremendously skilled and focussed training package that was comparatively easy to implement in a practical and meaningful way."
2012-2013 Silk Appointment
"After a year of 7 interviews and no offers your coaching helped me obtain 3 offers this year. I simply cannot thank you enough"
2013 Training Contract Applicant
"After two attempts without success, I was despairing. Your help made all the difference."
Circuit Appointment
"Discussion of my application form and help with the interview process was highly beneficial."
Recorder Appointment
As any successful silk, who has been through the QCA's selection process will confirm, the silk application form is one of the most challenging pieces of drafting you ever undertake. Many of our clients have great experience in drafting (often chancery and commercial practices) yet find the silk form harder than drafting an application to The Supreme Court.
The reason for this, is that the QCA's competency based process requires you to think and draft in a manner that is at odds with the way you would normally draft as a lawyer. We demystify the processs and provide extensive advice as to what is required, both in terms of style and substance.
The partner who advises silk applicants had a successful judicial practice for 14 years, with many of his reported cases being heard by the Court of Appeal, House of Lords (as it then was), ECHR and ECJ. His extensive experience of drafting and the law and training and qualifications in the field of human performance have consistently proved 'invaluable' to our clients applying for silk.
We will advise you as to:
As many a silk applicant will confirm, an advocate may be a star performer in the court room but find themselves unable to display those same qualities during their silk application interview.
Applicants struggle with many issues during their Queen's Counsel interview, including how to convey their strengths without appearing to boast, how to deal with diversity questions and how to structure an answer to a competency based question.
Our intensive 1:1 silk interview coaching will prepare you for the toughest of interviews. We deploy questions frequently asked by the QCA with proven interview techniques, including a video recorded mock interview, that will
1. Ensure you perform at your best at your interview. We will rapidly remedy any confidence issues.
2. Prepare you for the QCA questions. Having successfully advised applicants in numerous silk competitions, we have an in depth understanding of the type of questions you can expect to face and will advise you on how best to deal with them.
3. Address non verbal communication issues. As any good advocate knows, it is not simply a question of what you say, but how you say it that matters.
For the avoidance of any doubt, we do not tell you what to say or provide stock answers. That would be both unethical and counterproductive.
"Your assistance at both stages of the process was challenging, at times brutal but extremely effective and invaluable." 2013-14 Silk Appointment
"Many thanks for your assistance. I could not have done it without your support, particularly with the section on diversity" 2011- 2012 Silk Appointment
Call 020 7549 3606 for a no commitment discussion with one of the partners or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Appointments until 9pm weekdays and weekends on request.
We always go the extra mile for our clients because your world is our world.

"No change since 1960."
Long after the old farms and new forests of New England disappeared in my rearview mirror, I was still scrawling those words in the reporter's notebook on my knee. Big, empty, rich and unchanged - that's a pretty boring scouting report for the America I "discovered" along the Steinbeck Highway. You can add a bunch of other boring but fitting words - "beautiful," "safe," "friendly," "clean," and "quiet."
Like Steinbeck, I didn't see the Real America or even a representative cross-section of America, neither of which exist anyway. Because I went almost exactly where Steinbeck went and stopped where he stopped, I saw a mostly White Anglo Saxon Protestant Republican America, not a "diverse and politically correct" Obama one. Mostly rural or open country, it included few impoverished or crime-tortured inner cities and no over-developed/underwater suburbs.
America the Beautiful was hurting in the fall of 2010, thanks to the bums and crooks in Washington and on Wall Street who co-produced the Great Recession. It still had the usual ills that make libertarians crazy and may never be cured: too many government wars overseas and at home, too many laws, politicians, cops, lawyers, do-gooders and preachers.
But America was not dead, dying or decaying. There were no signs of becoming a liberal or conservative dystopia. The U.S. of A., as always, was blessed with a diverse population of productive, affluent, generous, decent people and a continent of gorgeous natural resources.
Everyday of my trip I was surrounded by undeniable evidence of America's underlying health and incredible prosperity. Everywhere I went people were living in good homes, driving new cars and monster pickup trucks and playing with powerboats, motorcycles and snowmobiles. Roads and bridges and parks and main streets were well maintained. Litter and trash were scarce. Specific towns and regions were hurting, and too many people were out of work, but it was still the same country I knew.
I didn't seek out poverty or misery or pollution on my journey, and I encountered little of it. The destitute and jobless, not to mention the increasing millions on food stamps, on welfare or buried in debt, were especially hard to spot in a generous country where taking care of the less fortunate is a huge public-private industry - where even the poor have homes, cars, wide-screen TVs and smart phones.

very cool illustrations
As much as I hate the Raiders...nice pic. You definitely have alot of talent.
The Moss man looks great! I work with acrylic myself, Nice job!
Awesome work!!! But damn Randy Moss!

I know this is a candid, but I like the light and your whole look in this--seems a little like 50s-60s glamour with the sunglasses and hairstyle. The dots on your collar makes me think of those vintage polka-dot dresses. There is even polka-dots in the reflection in your sunglasses. Which makes me think that you should do a polka-dot dress with this look done in late 40s early 50s pin-up style of photo shoot Just an idea...
You're right. I was taken to a car show and I was dressed a little pin-up. I'm in love with the images

This week in the Enterprise we took a look at which trends are driving social business, as well as Apple's recently released numbers and rumors of an up and coming tablet from Amazon.
Employees Are Bringing Devices to Work and Work Home
IDC released a study on the consumerization of information technology within the enterprise that indicates an increase in the use of personally owned devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets) to perform work on behalf of companies. As it turns out, this trend is also driving adoption of social media applications for business purposes.
The study included more than 3,000 information workers and business executives in nine countries. The data shows that there has been a 10 percent increase in the last 12 months of personal devices being used for work purposes:
Study participants predicted that tablets, which didn't even exist 15 months ago, will grow more important than any other consumer device for completing work by 2012. The same is true for social media. The same applications workers are using to share photos are now increasingly being used to engage customer communications, market products and perform market research. Hello, social business!
Although enterprises mostly agree that allowing employees to use their own devices is a good thing because it allows them to be more productive and reduces internal costs, the consumerization move is not without challenges. Consumerization increases IT complexity, for example. Companies have more devices and more applications to understand and manage.
Are you currently using your personal cell phone or tablet for work? Does your company have an official policy around this or do you just do it? We'd love to hear from you.
Apple's New Highs, Lion, New iPhone in September
As widely predicted, Apple sold over 20 million iPhones and nine-and-a-quarter million iPads in its most recent quarter, according to recent figures. The news sent Apple's stock price over the US$ 400 barrier. With over 15 billion downloads and over 425,000 apps in the store (100,000 for iPad), digital downloads are also raking in massive numbers. The most impressive number, however, is Apple's US$ 76 billion in cash. Is a large acquisition in store or some unheard of new product?

aww, bakura does have a heart buried in there after all. and not as deep as he thought! -~
| Tori-chan chapter 1 . 4/21/2009
Aw... I want to cuddle them. Very good, and I like the idea of Bakura stealing from old ladys while helping them. xD
Sad, yes, but in a cute way.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE MY ONE HUNDREDTH FAVORITE STORY! -does dance- YOU WIN A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF SUGAR! ENJOY!
| imagines writes chapter 1 . 5/4/2006
"It's this part of him that's the problem, because if it wasn't there, Ryou would be rid of him by now, a little worse for wear, perhaps, but not hiding in his room, sobbing."
This story is heart-wrenching. I love it. _
| Tragic Priestess chapter 1 . 4/23/2006
It's kind of sad and angsty. I like that Bakura was still evil. I loved the parts about helping old ladies across the street and cooking dinner.
| Sour Schuyler chapter 1 . 4/19/2006
VERY cute. I totally love it. Your shorts are always so awesome. ...Not the ones you may wear, but the ones you write. Anyway, I liked this particularly because you mentioned a TINY part of Bakura wanting to do silly things for Ryou. That was great.
| Aseret Kitsune chapter 1 . 3/25/2006
Oh, how sad. This was wonderfully done. Great job.
| adele4 chapter 1 . 3/18/2006
So... one has to conclude that everyone would be better off if Bakura was still an entirely evil ring-spirit rather than – whatever he's now? That's quite depressing. I don't entirely believe him(Bakura), but I might be biased because I'm an obsessive tendershipper.
I still find their relationship to be very sweet in a way (*smiles at the idea of Bakura brining Ryou breakfast to bed*). The story is a great take on what it might be like, if it was the closest to -normal- as it can ever get with the two of them, and to me it didn't feel like something entirely destructive that would be getting worse over the time – it's just, the way it is, whether or not that's acceptable for the two of them. And I'm once again impressed by the way you can write something in which every word seems to be exactly where it belongs.
I loved the part about "helping old ladies cross the street" - Bakura would *so* not be above that.
| Argh chapter 1 . 3/16/2006
Aww. It was so angsty but . . . not. I loved it.
| Mischieff-Maker chapter 1 . 3/10/2006
[Sniffle]...i cry...
| DarkShadowFlame chapter 1 . 3/4/2006
Oh I can't figure out if reading this made me sad or happy. It was definitely sprinkled with your personal wonderful humor, so it made me giggle (especially the anyone-alone-with-him-for-two-seconds-knew-it part), and the fact that Bakura wants to stay with Ryou made me hopeful, and the fact that Ryou loves Bakura made me grin, but the whole Ryou-in-his-room-sobbing-thing... sad! Aw either way this was wonderfully written and I really enjoyed reading it!

DEFINITION of 'CAD'
What currency is CAD?
CAD is the currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Canadian dollar (CAD). The Canadian dollar is made up of 100 cents, and is often presented with the dollar sign as C$ to allow it to be distinguished from other currencies denominated in dollars, such as the U.S. Dollar (USD). CAD is considered to be a benchmark currency, meaning that many central banks across the globe keep Canadian dollars as a reserve currency.
More About the Currency of Canada:
The Canadian dollar has been in use since 1858 when the Province of Canada replaced the Canadian Pound with its first official Canadian coins. This dollar was pegged with the U.S. dollar at par using the gold standard system of 1 dollar equaling 23.22 grains of gold. In 1871, the federal government passed the Uniform Currency Act, which replaced the various currencies of the provinces with the one national Canadian dollar. Over its history, the Canadian dollar has moved back and forth between being pegged to the U.S. dollar, and being allowed to float freely. In 1950, the Canadian dollar was first allowed to float. From 1962 - 1970 it was pegged again; after which the currency has since been allowed to float.
