Inspection report shows dozens of violations at Marion County Fairgrounds
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Fire Department released a 25-page inspection report Friday afternoon that revealed dozens of safety problems at the Marion County Fairgrounds, Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney reported.
The report reveals the findings of a July 29 inspection by IFD, the State Fire Marshal's office and City of Indianapolis code enforcement.
The report shows 32 boxes marked "fail" and 12 boxes marked "pass."
Violations include exposed wiring, untested emergency lights and signs, electrical panels and outlets that need repair, unsecured gas containers and fire extinguishers that need to be lowered.
In the coliseum, inspectors found combustible materials underneath the bleachers and occupant load signs that need to be posted.
Fire inspectors looked inside buildings including 4-H, community youth, administration, arts & crafts, bath house, cattle barn, coliseum, exposition hall, family arts, horse barn, poultry barn and the sheriff's office.
In the fair office, inspectors cited the fair for a deadbolt on the inside of a door at the bottom of the stairs, which could make it difficult for people to get out during an emergency.
The state and city agencies performed the inspection after ex-director of the fair board, Jack Haefling, raised concerns about electrical issues.
Friday he said he was happy with the report.
"It's a start, a good start," said Haefling. "It's pretty much following our concerns. This is about the safety of the public, the 4-H kids, and the animals."
Haefling was removed from the board last month amid allegations he made unauthorized expenditures without board approval.

On Friday, Haefling said it was common practice and maintains the board removed him because he was vocal about safety problems.
"I think a lot of this could have been cleared up if we had a proactive maintenance program over the last 5 to 10 years instead of waiting until the last minute to get those repaired," said Haefling.
Ron Phillips, president of the Marion County fair board, said Friday he was also happy with the report.
"A lot of the electrical issues were addressed the very next day," said Phillips. "We found something that wasn't grounded right due to a lawnmower hitting it. We fixed that immediately."
Phillips said he anticipates having everything fixed within the next 10 days.
"We've met with whole another electrical crew to get some more bids and opinions and those will be addressed within the next week," said Phillips. "Things were not as bad and bleak as we were led to believe so that made (the inspection) a positive experience."
IFD Battalion Chief and Fire Marshal Courtney Gordon said no major violations were found, however major violations typically involve sprinklers or alarm systems.
The fairground buildings are not required to have either because they were built before the law took effect, Gordon said.
Inspectors did not require fair officials to fix any of the violations on the spot.
The Marion County Fair has been operating for 84 years, typically running at the end of June and bringing in 75,000 visitors annually.
While the fair is almost a year away, the fairgrounds host other events such as the Hoosier Auto Show throughout the year and the facilities are also available for rent.
The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA) received a complaint from Haefling on July 22 alleging 56 health and safety violations at the Marion County fairgrounds.
IOSHA is launching an investigation that could take months.

Russian Beet-Sugar Output Seen Above 5 Million Tons by Union
Russian production of sugar from domestically grown beets is expected to exceed 5 million metric tons in the marketing year that started yesterday, the trade group representing local producers said.
Average growing factors for beets are "significantly better" than a year ago, Russia's Sugar Producers' Union said on its website. Last year the country produced a record 5.1 million tons of the sweetener, according to union figures.

Renaya Hoffman is an empathetic 8 year old. When she sees someone suffering, she feels for them. A few months ago she saw someone not doing too well, living on the street. She asked her dad how she could help. They did some research to find out who in Nanaimo helps people who are homeless. Of the fine groups and organizations they looked at, Renaya picked ICCS. The story of society founder Matthew Brown originally caught her eye, and as she learned about the society's work to meet the needs of hurting people in her community it inspired her to ask her friends to join her effort.
"Instead of giving me a present on my birthday," she said, "let's help someone who really needs it." Her friends and her dad generously responded so that Renaya was able to present ICCS Finance Manager Marilyn Laktin with two cheques totalling: $325.
"We are very proud of her," Darren Hoffman said of his daughter, "We wanted her to know that you can make a difference in the world, no matter what age you are."
People who find themselves homeless have many pressing needs. Food, shelter, clothing. Renaya's donation will help provide some real tangible stuff, and more than that, her generous spirit and good example will inspire others to do the same.
Thanks Renaya, your compassion gives us hope!
Think what a great world it would be if everyone cared for their neighbour like Renaya does.
Island Crisis Care Society will lease office space in our head office at 1200 Princess Royal Ave to a like-minded professional, non-profit or community organization, or church.

Dear Friends of ICCS,
It is with sad hearts that we inform you that our society founder, Matthew Brown, died on April 12th at his home surrounded by family and friends. Matthew was an inspiration to those who knew him and will be remembered for his compassion, vision, and character. He responded to the need for emergency shelter in Nanaimo, and for the need for a detox center, and in so doing created a legacy of shelter, care, and support that continues to change lives year after year. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He will be missed.
A celebration of Matthew's life will be held on May 7th at Nanaimo First Baptist Church at 1 pm.
The ICCS Team

Jaelyn Dean and her 18-year-old college freshman, Holly, have escaped the sweltering August heat of Logan, Utah, to an auditorium for freshman orientation at Utah State University. Holly mimicked a reserved smile as she and her mother parted ways into separate sections for parents and students.
Though she knows it will be best, Dean is finding it difficult to allow Holly to be on her own.
This month, parents across the country are saying goodbye as they drop their children off at a college campus for the first time. More than 90 percent of colleges in the U.S. are implementing or expanding orientation programs not for incoming freshmen, but for their parents, according to the National Orientation Directors Association in 2011. As parents are maintaining constant contact with their children while away, colleges are stepping in with an important message to parents.
Let go.
"At first I was shocked when they asked the parents to stay all day in this orientation," Dean said. "But it has relieved my anxiety about sending her up there."
Unseen, but present
Parents today are more involved in their students' lives than any previous generation, Marjorie Savage, author of the parenting book "You're on Your Own (But I'm Here if You Need Me)," told the Deseret News. The communication methods we have today make it so easy to be in touch with a student. "It's free, it's cheap and it's instantaneous."
Nearly 52 percent of young adults ages 18 to 29 reported having daily or almost daily contact with parents via text, phone or in person, according to a survey commissioned by Clark University in Worcester, Mass. Thirty-four percent said their parents were more involved in their life than they really wanted them to be.
Another factor, Savage said, is that parents today are more engaged in education than a generation ago: The stakes are higher, entrance requirements are tougher, and the cost of college has escalated.
The students who are in the most frequent contact with their parents are the least autonomous and least capable of regulating their own lives, psychology professor at Middlebury College Barbara Hofer, and co-author, Abigail Sullivan Moore, found.
In their book "The iConnected Parent: Staying Close to Your Kids in College (and Beyond) while Letting Them Grow Up," Hofer and Moore wrote that self-regulating college students are more satisfied with their academic lives, social lives and overall college experience. These students have higher GPAs than their parent-regulated peers.
Hofer and Sullivan found extreme versions of parental over-involvement. One first-year student said his mom had copies of all four of his class syllabi and would call to remind him when anything was due.
"College students need the psychological space to grow into independent, responsible adults, and if parents are in too much contact, advising them on each step of their lives and continuing to remind them of what they need to do, they don't learn as readily to take charge of their own lives," Hofer said in an email to the Deseret News.
This increased parental involvement may also stem from what developmental psychologist Jeffrey Arnett of Clark University calls "emerging adulthood," referring to a phase of development from the late teens to the mid-to-late 20s. The phenomenon emerged emerged in the 21st century and refers to the way young people are taking more time to carefully plan how they will jump into adulthood.
Though age 21 has been the traditional mark of adulthood, today's young adults don't feel that they're quite there yet. In a survey of young adults, almost 60 percent said adulthood would be more enjoyable than their life is now. Parental involvement may be a significant factor.

After defeat of casino plan, ideas being discussed to help aili
ROCKAWAY BEACH, Mo. -- Creating a children's fishing lake and producing freshwater pearls were among the ideas suggested for revitalizing Rockaway Beach following the defeat of a casino proposal.
The ideas came during a meeting Thursday in which Taney County commissioners extended an offer of help to Rockaway Beach.
Residents, however, have not given up hope for the casino they had counted on to bring jobs and tourists to the town.
Missouri voters rejected a constitutional amendment in the Aug. 3 election that was required to get the project started.
The opposition was led by Branson businessman Peter Herschend, who believes a casino would harm tourism in his resort town.
His relative, Taney County Commissioner Ron Herschend, contributed $1,000 to the anti-casino campaign. Commissioners also passed a resolution opposing the casino before the election.
Still, Ron Herschend offered the commission's help Thursday in finding ways to revive the town that shriveled after a dam built on the White River made the newly created Lake Taneycomo too cold for swimmers.
Among the ideas suggested:
Stock an area lake with fish that could attract children and their families. Ron Herschend suggested the slogan, "Get Your Kids Hooked on Fishing at Rockaway Beach."
Build a half-dozen baseball and softball fields to attract teams from across the country.
Start a shuttle service to drive visitors between Branson and Rockaway Beach.
Become the world's largest producer of freshwater pearls.
"This may be a stupid idea, but there may be something there," Ron Herschend told residents.
Rockaway Beach Alderman Denny Howard, who helped lead the casino effort, said residents have spent many years looking for solutions.
"Those ideas are fine and dandy, but you're talking about the same thing we've got right now earning $6 an hour," he said.
Businessman Robert Low, who was a partner in Riverboat at Rockaway Beach, said earlier this week that his team was still reviewing the election results to determine whether they could run a successful campaign in the future.
"My preliminary feelings are that we need to give this community time to regroup; to give the education process during the campaign time to soak in and let people in surrounding communities, hopefully, agree that maybe it is a good idea," he said.

Okay... where to start? I guess I'll start by the good things, since there are fewer of those.
- The beds were comfortable and the sheets had no stains.
- Room and bathroom were a decent size.
- The room we were in was reasonably silent (not facing the street).
- Wi-fi worked reasonably well (a bit slow at times, but never went down).
- The price was okay and the hotel is located near two metro stations.
Now for the not so good part:
- when we arrived (I was travelling with family members), my mother's credit card had been charged for two days already even though we hadn't even checked in.
- They didn't accept global travelling cards because "we simply cannot accept cards with no name on them" which means we had to pay in cash and cash is non-refundable. We had TEN minutes to check the room to see if we wanted it. After that, no money back was possible. Considering that it was raining, we didn't have that much of a choice.
- At least one of the people at the front desk was extremely unhelpful and rather rude.
- The have very few hangers in the closets so if you have need of more than 4 or 5, take your own! The drawers in the dresser might stick a bit. There is no safe in the room.
- The door key went bad and we had to get replacements. Apparently that is not a rare occurrence.
- The carpet in the hallway and in the room was rather dirty. Seems as though the vacuum cleaner doesn't do much for it. Air conditioner filter was filthy.
- Your room might be cleaned any time between 10 am and 5 pm but at least it is cleaned daily.
- They do not provide shower caps or other toiletries that are normally given at hotels or at least available upon request. The only toiletries that you get in the room are soap (okay), shampoo/conditioner (not that good quality) and a small moisturizer (reasonable). The bathtub drains are bad so water accumulates around your feet when taking a shower. To get the showerhead to work, I had to ask for a demonstration at the front desk (they actually have a faucet model down there to show you how it works...).
- The hairdryer provided was bad so we had to get one at the front desk.
- Breakfast is mostly carbohydrate-based with bagels, donuts, three varieties of breakfast cereal and a few kinds of bread. The eggs are powdered and the sausage didn't look that good. The only fruit available is bananas and those are more green than ripe. Orange juice tastes like cheap Sunny Delight. Coffee machine is okay. There is absolutely no variety in breakfast with the same things being served every day. Breakfast room is TINY and you have to wait to sit if you don't get there early enough. Good thing there's a McDonalds nearby...
- There is no elevator in the Lobby. The entrance is a half-floor between floors one and two so you either go up or down a short flight of stairs to get to the elevator (there's only one, by the way so sometimes it might take a while). There is an awkward lift for luggage that goes between the lobby and the 2nd floor.
In all, the hotel fell way short of the advertising and I would only stay there again if there were no better choices nearby.

I first discovered the joy of comics in 1980 when some girls on my school bus brought in their father's copies of Wendy and Richard Pini's "Elfquest" and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, I've written freelance interviews and articles for "Wizard" (going all the way back to the first issue), headed up the Small Press Expo and the Ignatz Awards, served as an Eisner judge and written reviews regularly since 1999 (first for iComics.com, then moving to my own site Read About Comics).
I moved to the Washington DC area in 1974 and have yet to leave. I design and develop training for the Federal government during the day, and I've had both fiction and non-fiction professionally published. In my spare time I train for marathons and triathlons. I've promised my friends one of these days I'll run a race dressed as the Flash.

Simon Oliver and Moritat's "Hellblazer: Rebirth" #1 is the most deliberate and successful attempt to evoke the spirit of the original "Hellblazer" series.
Bryan Hitch, Tony S. Daniel and Sandu Florea's "Justice League" #1 feels like an epic feel like a summer movie transformed into a print event.

Mark Waid and Veronica Fish's "Archie" #9 "and 'Archie' in general succeed because there's a real heart to this comic."

In "Aquaman" #1, Dan Abnett, Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy play up the sovereign nation aspect of the ruler of Atlantis, but this first chapter of "The Drowning" is a little too uneven.
Mark Waid and Veronica Fish's "Archie" #9 may be a typical "upper class person befuddled by lower class lifestyle" story, but it's one that has real heart, and that makes all the difference.
Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro refuse to take the easy way out in "Bitch Planet" #8, where we learn where Kamau's sister is being held.
Christopher Hastings and Langdon Foss' "Vote Loki" #1 finds the god of lies running for office, but this debut issue never quite clicks into place.
In "The Sixth Gun" #50, Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt wind down their long-running western/horror/fantasy with the apocalypse that was impossible to avoid.
In "Justice League" #51, Dan Abnett, Paul Pelletier and Sandra Hope flash back to the early days of the League, when they first met Robin, and it's is surprisingly fun.
There's an interesting story lurking within the pages of "Uncanny X-Men's" contribution to "Apocalypse Wars," but Cullen Bunn and Ken Lashley's latest chapter has almost no actual plot progression as its characters inch
Raising a half-human/half-Kryptonion child isn't easy, but it's even more difficult when the other two-thirds of the Trinity come knocking in Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason and Mick Grey's "Superman" #1.
In Benjamin Percy and Otto Schmidt's "Green Arrow" #1, Black Canary issues Oliver a warning about his crime-fighting methods, even as danger looms heavily around the corner.
Situations look dire in Hope Larson and Brittney Williams' "Goldie Vance" #3, even as there's hope that Goldie may still solve the case and make things right for everyone.
In "The Wicked + The Divine" #20, Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie spill the beans and reveal how Laura survived death at Ananke's hands, even as the gods continue to choose sides with Minerva's life on the line.
Dan Abnett and Emilio Laiso's "Civil War II: Gods of War" #1 should really just be renamed "Hercules" #7.
In "Daredevil" #8, Charles Soule and Goran Sudzuka give us a high-stakes Texas Hold 'Em tournament in Macau and prove that sometimes you don't need to see cards to know what's in front of you.

An Illinois workers' compensation system for the 21st century
The state of Illinois has one of the oldest workers' compensation systems in America, dating to 1911.
The state of Illinois has one of the oldest workers' compensation systems in America, dating to 1911.
Despite prior agreements with the state, Illinois' largest government-worker union is backtracking on its promises and distorting facts in order to reach its unreasonable demands.
The month of June saw Illinois continue to lose jobs, as the state's long-term economic woes continue to push workers out of the state.
Moline, Ill.-based agricultural equipment maker will cut more than 100 jobs by September; Illinois' manufacturing workers continue to struggle for job opportunities enjoyed by their counterparts in the region.
AFSCME officials have indicated that the union is preparing to strike this fall.
Illinois lost 2,200 jobs in June, and its unemployment rate dropped to 6.2 percent as more Illinoisans exited the labor force.
Every five minutes, Illinois loses a resident to another state.
Politicians' quick answer to the state's problems is consistently to raise taxes, but evidence shows tax hikes are a negative for families struggling in a state already lacking opportunity.
A longtime associate of House Speaker Mike Madigan is working to silence Illinois voters on the subject of political mapmaking.
A law passed by the Illinois General Assembly in June allows Chicago to create new transit-based super TIFs, adding more opportunities for city-run slush funds to divert and hoard property-tax dollars.
Illinois' workers' compensation system has not evolved to meet the modern workplace, and is instead working more for special interests than employers and employees.
Property-tax hikes have caused taxes on NBA star Dwyane Wade's former house to more than triple, driving away prospective buyers and showing the harm Illinois' sky-high property-tax rates inflict on homeowners.

Stayed at the Sheraton in December. We have stayed here before and have always had a good stay. This time was no different. When I booked our reservation I was only able to book for two beds (not a king). When we got there, they didn't have a regular king room available but he front desk woman was able to get us into a corner king (which I think they said was an upgrade). It was perfect for us. Overall we had a great stay once again.

Since Apple's Dev Center is down and I'm not able to do any dev work as planned, here's a design of something I started working on a couple of weeks ago. It's a design for an app that can be used to easily find the most beautiful places on earth while traveling.
The button for Paris has the pressed state. On the bottom there's a toggle to open the map. (Not sure if the bottom still is a good location since iOS7 added the 'swipe from bottom' gesture for the Control Center.)
Attached are some real pixels.
Will be working on this one every once in a while.

Yes, I got the question! Mama, what's a menage a trois? And I am steaming!
Apparently their young and inexperienced "being" (much nicer than what I originally had) of a first grade teacher always puts music on for them while they do individual work and the kids then sing along as they work. Since she has been home from school tonight she has been singing "Last Friday night...skinny dipping in the park " .......and Mama what's a menage a trois? (Thanks to french immersion with excellent pronounciation.
I know this stuff is going to come up. But is it really the teacher that has to introduce them to this kind of terminology?And honestly, I don't even see myselft bringing it up with the teacher. She is already overwhelmed!
And in case you wondered how I answered it - I told her to ask her teacher. Couldn't come up with an other answer on the spot and after all, it is in french.
Rant over.

The Gatecrashers (Nicholas Everard Saga #9)
Nick Everard and his son Paul return in this final chapter of the Everard saga. Paul commands a state-of-the-art midget submarine, sent to sneak up on the formidable German battleship Tirpitz and lay explosive charges. It's one step away from a suicide mission, but Paul must try—for if he fails, his father Nick's escort of an Arctic convoy hardly stands a chance.

Interesting final
I was expecting to see that Nick may not make it, but as history tells us many sailors lost their lives attempting to get supplies to Russia.

What makes the Everards so inspiring is the depth of their determination to carry out their mission
Jan 15, 2010 Phil rated it really liked it
I really enjoyed the trip into life for a submariner in WWII, especially on this critical mission. War often brings out the very best as well as the very worst in humanity. We survive under adversity.

5 Things Every Advocate Should Remember
A strange thing happened to me during my cancer treatment: I had the strong desire to help people, to give back, to inspire. I wanted to be an advocate.
Courageous Mother, Wife and Survivor of Mesothelioma
Recent Posts
A strange thing happened to me during my cancer treatment: I had the strong desire to help people, to give back, to inspire. I wanted to be an advocate.
When one hears the word "mesothelioma," everyone immediately thinks of the commercials on TV: "If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a deadly cancer caused by asbestos exposure… " and then they think everyone who gets this cancer is automatically wealthy because of a lawsuit. Well, I'm here to set that record straight.
Now what?
That's what I asked myself as I sat in my car in the parking lot of the cancer center. I had just finished my last radiation treatment, and for the first time in almost a year, I had no more chemotherapy or radiation treatments to go to. I was done. And I was lost.
Mesothelioma Awareness Day, established by Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation volunteers in 2004, has been the driving force behind the movement to bring more attention and funding to mesothelioma.
Today is a day I was never meant to live, this year was one I wasn't supposed to see, this life is one I wasn't supposed to have.
No one ever prepares you to fight for your life. When your reality becomes just that, learning that your existence is not guaranteed, your world becomes something you could have never imagined. I always wanted to be a mother, and after marrying the most amazing man, I was ready to be a parent. We would be a new family. I would become a mother, and find a new kind of unconditional love. After giving birth to our daughter, I was overjoyed. That joy suddenly faded after losing weight and strength in my body, feeling that I could not physically breathe. I was concerned, but attributed the weight loss to my recent pregnancy. Finally feeling that something more was actually to blame, I saw a doctor, and was told I had mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. I was given 15 months to live. That was 10 years ago. Throughout the last ten years I have devoted my life to spreading awareness of the dangers of asbestos, sharing hope, and supporting others on their path towards a cancer-free life.
Every year following Lung Leavin' Day, I write a recap of the evening. This year I wanted to do something a little different. I know the event has a huge effect on people, and in the last couple of years people have shared their feelings about the night with me. I thought I would ask a few friends about their thoughts on the tradition and share them with you.
As a society, we put a huge emphasis on our children's "firsts": baby's first tooth, baby's first steps. The first birthday, the first day of school. Oh my, how I remember that day with Lily! So many of her firsts were milestones simply for the fact that I was not supposed to be alive to see them. I treasured each of those firsts, and marked the occasions with pictures and videos. I even still have her first tooth somewhere.
When I was diagnosed with mesothelioma, I felt more isolated than I ever had in my life.. I was a mere 36 years young and told I had an incredibly rare cancer that, in most cases, was diagnosed in much older men. I felt utterly alone and defeated.

Not long ago, we mentioned that women's backpacks seemed to have become a full-fledged handbag trend; you guys were not amused. For men, though, backpacks are a more traditional option well after college has ended. I don't think men should wear them with suits because they tend to wrinkle well-pressed clothing, but other than that, they're a perfectly reasonable alternative to other kinds of man bags.
It's going to be spring at some point, right? Not fashion spring, but Real Spring, where I get to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and, perhaps, leave my apartment without outerwear? This winter has seemed nearly interminable, and unfortunately for me, there's not really a light at the end of the tunnel yet.
In some ways, London Fashion Week is my favorite, season after season. It's the shortest of all the cities – something of a Fashion Long Weekend, if we're being honest – and in that space, it packs in tons of incredibly talented young designers who are doing bold, sometimes even brave, things with clothing, alongside a few bold-face names like Burberry and, this season, Tom Ford.
I mean this with all due respect: In 2013, it's hard to believe that Lauren Conrad is still legitimately famous. In many ways, actually, that's a compliment. Reality TV stardom is notoriously tricky to turn into a lasting career, but by all indications, Conrad seems to be making a pretty decent go of it.
We know Jillian Michaels isn't a stranger to weightlifting, so it's no surprise that she's handling her giant Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Keepall like it's a clutch. The Mon Monogram is a customized version of the aptly named Louis Vuitton Keepall – each bag is personalized with your initials and up to two colored stripes of your choosing.

|Reviews for Naruto Experiment, A Collection of Short Stories
haha naw, this was cute :3
| Guest chapter 7 . 6/28/2009
These are pretty good; it's difficult to write in the constraints of a request, since you have to stick to them.
Requested by: a lurker, so put this at the bottom of the pile, if you wish.
Characters: Fugaku Uchiha (aka, Sasuke's dad), Minato Namikaze (Naruto's dad), Sasuke and Naruto
Situation: Slight AU, in which Minato never died, although the fox is still sealed in Naruto. And via some excessive chakra on Kyuubi's part, Sasuke was blinded during the attack. Minato visits the Uchiha compound with Naruto, hoping that Fugaku doesn't blame Minato for not acting fast enough to seal the fox, or hate Naruto. He doesn't.
Specifics: Naruto and Sasuke are toddlers. Minato is angsty and Fugaku has to tap him over the head with a rolled up newspaper to get his point across (I'm thinking, 'If you really want to be punished... *tap* There. Pull yourself together man!', sorta message, although you could use whatever message you wanted). Fluffy Friendship Fic.
Pairings: None, unless Chibi!Destined For Each Other!NaruSasu sneaks in.
Length: Whatever you want.
Style: Minato's POV, any tense. It could be a flashback, even.
Setting: Konoha, Uchiha Compound.
| solaesce chapter 7 . 7/21/2008
This idea seems pretty cool,and you write pretty well, so, here goes:
Requested by: Nyleva
Characters: Sasuke, Naruto
Situation: Both Sasuke and Naruto very oblivious that the other likes him and to the fact that one's gay, one's bi (your choice), and complains to friends, (doesn't really matter, maybe Gaara, Neji, Kiba, etc), who set them together because they get really frustrated.
Pairings: Sasuke/Naruto, side pairings, if in story: Temari/Shikamaru, Neji/Tenten or Hinata, Kiba single or w/ Hinata, onesided Gaara/Naruto (keeps hidden).
Length: Reealy long oneshot, or more.
Style: Doesn't really matter, preferably third person
Setting: AU. Doesn't matter what kind. Maybe high school/college, maybe job, preferably not ninjas.
| lordofthepineapple chapter 7 . 4/4/2008
that was... disturbing... but onto more pressing matters I have a request.
Requested by: 7Kyuubi7
Characters: Gaara, Naruto
Situation: Gaara reflecting on his relationship with Naruto, and thinking about why he loves him, while said blonde is asleep in they're bed. Then him waking up and a lovely make-out session.(feel free to edit out him waking up and/or what happens after).
Specifics: Gaara and Naruto being 21. Gaara being Kazekage. Naruto not being Hokage(at least not yet). would prefer if it's serious and crack free. non-canon were shukaku was'nt taken out of gaara and he is nicer, less crazy, kinda at the point where he cares about gaara and naruto but would never admit it.
Pairings: Gaara/Naruto
Length: As long as it needs to be.
Style: Gaara POV (or whatever works best).
Setting: In Suna in Gaara's room in the middle of the night.
feel free to ignore it or change a few things (but if you do I would appreciate the changes being small).
| Guest chapter 7 . 3/15/2008
Requested by: ... (Or just call me Cow :/)
Characters: Gaara, Akatsuki
Situation: All of the Akatsuki attack Suna, kidnapping KazeKage Gaara. They decide to have some fun with him first.
Specifics: ItachixGaara must be present with hawt yaoi action. Otherwise, make the others whatever you feel like making them. For example, Kisame and Gaara could just be Gaara asking about his gills, or Zetsu and Gaara on growing cacti, while Deidara could be FEAR MY KISS STEALING HANDMOUTHS :D
Semiblind!Itachi would make me squee btw.
Pairings: GaaraxAkatsuki
Length: As long or as short as you want
Style: Akatsuki member POV
Setting: Akatsuki hideout, but if you want to have the attack on Suna feel free to include that.

| HeeHeeHee01 chapter 7 . 10/28/2007
Ah! That was great! Poor Anko!
But! I have a request!
Characters: Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi.
Situation: Naruto wins at the Valley of the End, and along with Kakashi, brings Sasuke back to Konoha, to find Sakura waiting for them.
Specifics: Sasuke struggles through accepting this or blaming Sakura, because he can't bring himself to hate Naruto for it.
Pairings: SasuNaruSasu one-sided SasuSaku
Length: One-shot
Style: Sasuke-centric. His POV
Setting: Konoha
| Lystee chapter 6 . 9/27/2007
I think that you're Sasuke is adorable. At least he's not as emo as everyone writes him. lol. I really like you're stories!
Are you still taking suggestions?
And you don't want Sasu/Naru... lol. I do bet you'd get a lot of them.
How about a Shika/Naru? That is, ultimately, my favorite pairing and they're aren't nearly enough stories about them.
| Pluma Desatada chapter 1 . 1/4/2007
Oh my, I _love_ this type of fics! *squee*
So, here goes:
Characters: Gaara & Sasuke the invitable Suna jounins
Setting: Suna
Situation: Suna nin find/catch Sasuke and take him home. Gaara takes care of the interrogation personally.
Specifics: Sasu was on a "errand" for Orochimaru and had to travell through dessert (And here I want to be very explicit about the effects the desert has on Sasu). Faints/go to sleep/passes out, whaterver you wanna call it, totally pathetically and is found by generic suna nin. No one recognises him. He's taken to prision cell and tortured for info as a generic sound-nin, but nothing comes out. Gaara gets wind of this and takes matters into his hands, specially b/c it concerns Sound and he wants to get info on Sasu for Naru. Imagine his surprise. Now, you can ignore whatever I said before, but _this_ is the key: focus on Gaara's thought process and expressions as the interrogation turns to torturing and then to punishing Sasuke for hurting Naru. Focus on his fury and his hate and then his resignation to not killing him b/c Naru would feel bad. While you do that, (and here lies the true challenge) deal also with Sasuke's self-hate, pathetic weakness and his berating himself for it, his thinking that Gaara will kill him, etc.
You can end it with a letter from Gaara to Naruto if you can't think of anything else _
Good luck!
I'll rack my brains for another challenge
| Killshea Kavani chapter 5 . 12/24/2006
Pretty nice, so far...
Here, I have a challenge ... except that later, I might write out my own version of it. Oh well, here goes...
Requested by: Killshea Kavani/Candelabra
Characters: Sakura, Shikamaru, Gaara, Kiba (neh ... he's just there for fun), Naruto, Kankurou
Situation: At some random point after Gaara's had his demon removed ... or AU. Sakura decides to find out who everyone likes. Chaos ensues.
Specifics: Shikamaru must (under duress) say he likes Temari, to which Kankurou replies that she likes him to (in ... a rather insulting way). Gaara MUST say he doesn't like girls, and everyone MUST assume that means he's gay. Then they all try to find which guy he likes, and eventually settle on Lee because he doesn't say 'hell no' (which he said to everyone else).
Pairing(s): implied Shikamaru/Temari, implied sort of Gaara/Lee. You can have Naruto/Hinata or Naruto/Sasuke, whichever you like, and Kiba ... have fun with him. :)
Length: ...
Style: you decide
Setting: bar, or some other fairly casual setting.

About "Making an impression" :
I liked it! up to where Hinata started to act OOC all of a suden O-o
But, er, nonetheless, up till then it was fine, and cute
Some bits that got me :
"As quiet as Hinata and Shino were, Kurenai almost found it refreshing to argue with Kiba; at least they were talking about something, the silence was a bit too much at times."
"A howl of pain escaped Kiba and he sent the cat flying in the other direction. It came back for more."
Er, I'm too lazy to comment on the others two in detail, ;; really sorry.
But you know it's one-shots, hard to review in length sometimes.
Anyway, I like the way you write, not what you call thrilling, but interesting:
detached and clinical, slightly off. It's original and I enjoy it
Well, now I got to find an idea of a challenge
I don't know if I try to find a challenge that would suit your style, or just find up an idea, and observe how you make it in your way.
Well, I'll think it up, and post my review when I've found one.
-some time latter-
Ok, I found one
Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura, and whoever happens to be around.
Situation: Team has got to do some research in the library, for a mission. Sakura chases Sasuke, Sasuke chases Naruto, and Naruto isn't that oblivious for once. Ends with some sensuality/fluff/smutiness if possible.
Pairings: SasukeNaruto (or the other way round ;;), a hint of KakashiSakura
Specifics: it's a huge library.
Length: One-shot, which ever length you feel fit.
Style: Third person, and inner thoughts.
Setting: the library of Konoha (they have to walk to get to it)
Looking forward to reading it! (but, I don't know how and when I'll be able to go on the internet in the next weeks, so ... sorry ;;)

DICE: Origin required to play retail copy of Battlefield 3
DICE has confirmed that those who've bought a retail copy of Battlefield 3 will be required to download Origin.
It's not mentioned if this applies as well to the download of the game from other services – except Steam, of course – but it's probably a forgone assumption that it will.
When asked if Origin was required for the retail version, DICE community manager Daniel Matros said on Twitter: "Yes those "rumors" are true."
And there you go. Battlefield 3 releases on October 25 in the US and October 28 in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.
Thanks, BF3Blog.

text: I'm on my phone, so sorry if this sucks, but I was the person who originally pushed for crawdaunt to be high C, and it's flaws are just as notible as they were before. Mainly it is too slow even after a boost and it has the defenses of a wet paper towel. Don't get me wrong it is a cool mon, I've tried band daunt with tailwind support and it wrecks souls, but it requires a lot of support, as it can't switch into anything really. The meta hasn't changed at all since it was dropped to high C, so this comes back to SilentVerse's point about people rank inflating mons they have used. Crawdaunt should stay high C, not because it is a bad mon, but because it requires a lot of support, or a very favorable team match up to function at all. Edit: anyone else think high A is too generous for Smeargle? The meta game is so prepared for sleep inducers, and in spite having access to literally every move, it only has like 2 usable sets, with very similar counters. Low/Mid A may be a better choice for how it functions in the current meta.

Weekend funPosted Jul 24, 2016
Hotel is situated in a lovely location and was an easy walk for us to attend The Tragically Hip concert. Lots of good pubs and entertainment just steps away. The room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The gym was nice but ideally I'd like to see more equipment (ex. leg press and cable machine). Pool, hot tub & sauna were enjoyed and appeared to be well maintained. We did receive vouchers upon our booking for the buffet breakfast. The food served did leave alot to be desired (scrambled eggs bland and watery, fruit not as fresh as one would expect). The staff we encountered were all pleasant, helpful and professional and we appreciated the level of cleanliness throughout the hotel.

Debian Looking to Vote More Quickly and Talk More
The Debian project secretariat can call Debian developers to vote via Article 5.2 of the Debian Constitution. The aim is to shorten the Project Leader election and to become more communicative.
The election procedure for the new Debian Project Leader (DPL) will start six weeks before the previous leader's period of office is due to end, and not nine weeks beforehand as previously. The nomination phase will just be the first week of the election period, rather than the first three. Following this, just two weeks will be allowed for canvassing instead of three. Project members will be voting on the change to the constitution between September 23 and October 6.
The draft also describes the election activities of the candidates in slightly more detail. For example, candidate will no longer be allowed to nominate themselves, but will be required to submit their plans for their potential period of office.
The Debian project drafted its first constitution late in 1998 – and assigned a version number of 1.0. The current constitution, v1.3, dates back to September 2006.

DEFINITION of 'Years Certain Annuity'
An insurance product that pays the holder a monthly income for a specified number of years. A years certain annuity is similar to other annuities because they are generally used to provide a steady income during retirement, but differ by providing income for a predetermined amount of time regardless of how long the annuitant lives. This differs from a life annuity which provides payouts for the remainder of the annuitant's life and, in certain cases, the life of the annuitant's spouse.
BREAKING DOWN 'Years Certain Annuity'
A years certain annuity typically involves larger monthly payouts, but this type of annuity is less common than a life annuity. A years certain annuity may be more appealing to individual who will have another source of income during retirement (such as another annuity or other retirement plan). A years certain annuity would be risky if it were the only retirement income because the annuitant could outlive the monthly payment period and be forced to spend the remaining retirement years on a reduced income.

FRIDAY FUNNY: St. Patrick's Day Celebrations...And Workplace Consequences
Apparently, folks have already started gearing up for St. Patrick's day, which means some employers are preparing for productivity slumps later in the day. These will begin with Friday afternoon liquid lunch lags and stretch into Monday hangover "sick day" call outs.
FRIDAY FUNNY: St. Patrick's Day Celebrations…And Workplace Consequences
Apparently, folks have already started gearing up for St. Patrick's day, which means some employers are preparing for productivity slumps later in the day. These will begin with Friday afternoon liquid lunch lags and stretch into Monday hangover "sick day" call outs.
Kaitlin Madden of The WorkBuzz from CareerBuilder.com says that post-holiday hangovers are becoming a significant issue in the workplace. According to Madden, one survey from an Irish HR firm reported that "nearly a third of employers there expect that some of their staff will call in sick…due to hangovers caused by enthusiastic drinking during St. Patrick's Day celebrations."
"St Patrick's Day is a huge celebration for the people of Ireland, but for many bosses the following day is one of lost productivity, something they could do without in the current economic climate," Alan Price, managing director of Peninsula Ireland, said in a statement.
Madden continues:
If you do plan to partake in St. Patty's parties, we do recommend moderation and keeping the following in the back of your mind: According to CareerBuilder's latest survey on calling in sick to work, 70% of employers require a doctor's note from "sick" employees, 29% check up on employees who call out of work, and 16% said that they've fired an employee for calling in sick without a proven or valid excuse.
