U.S. Stocks: The King In 2013
U.S. stocks have given investors the biggest bang for their buck in global financial markets.
The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has handed investors a total return–including price gains and dividend payments–of 21.2% this year through Monday in dollar terms. The return so far outpaced any other assets in the global markets.
On an annualized pace, that return was 38.1%. If the pace maintains through the end of December, it would be an epic year–the biggest calendar-year return since 42.4% in 1958, according to Adrian K. Miller, senior global market strategist at GMP Securities LLC.
Japan's benchmark stock index–Nikkei–was the top performing market in local current terms. The return was 38.5%, though it was $20.8% in dollar terms.
Investors are now debating whether stocks are fairly value after consistently hit record high levels. After several strong years in the bond market, fixed-income investors have been hit hard this year by the market's focus on when the Fed might reduce its bond-buying program for the U.S. economy.
Others have been awaiting a so-called great rotation away from bonds and into stocks, reflecting a return to normalized market conditions with higher bond yields. Bond prices fall when their yields rise. In a growing economy, stocks tend to be more attractive than bonds.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond index, the broadest measure of U.S. fixed income investments, has lost 2.42% this year through Monday, headed for biggest calendar-year loss since 1994 when it lost 2.92%, according to data from Barclays.
For now though, the rotation hasn't panned out.
This year through the end of July, investors poured $206.9 billion into stock mutual funds and ETFs, but at the same time there has been $19.9 billion inflow into bond mutual funds and ETFs, according to TrimTabs Investment Research.
Between January 2008 and December 2012, $1.25 trillion flow into bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds and $122.6 billion outflow from stock mutual funds and ETFs, according to TrimTabs.
There were some signs investors tilted toward stocks.
U.S. equity mutual funds and exchange-traded funds received $40.3 billion in July, surpassing the previous record of $34.6 billion in February 2000, according to TrimTabs. Investors yanked $21.1 billion out of U.S. bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in July following a record $69.1 billion in June, according to TrimTabs.
"The 'great rotation' so many pundits have been expecting may finally be starting," said David Santschi, chief executive officer of TrimTabs.
A key question now is whether the bull run in U.S. stocks would hit a snag in coming months. It remains to be seen whether signs of U.S. economic growth would outweigh fears over the Fed reducing support for markets.
U.S. stocks sold off in June as global markets were hit by fears that the Fed would soon start tapering bond buying, a key monetary stimulus tool to pumping cash to the economy following the 2008 financial crisis.
Over the past month, U.S. stocks have bounced back and hit fresh record high this week. Tuesday, stock prices pulled back as two Fed officials–Chicago Fed President Charles Evans and Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, reminded investors the risk that the central bank could start cutting stimulus as soon as September.
The S&P fell by 0.4% at 1,700.77 Tuesday afternoon.The S&P hit an all-time high of 1709.67 on Aug. 2.
BlackRock, the world's largest money manager with over $3 trillion assets under management, warns investors of bumpy ride this fall for financial markets as volatility–especially in stocks–could rise.
BlackRock's chief investment strategist Russ Koesterich said in a report Monday that US equities could be hit with selling.
"September is a month when the calendar has traditionally mattered–it has historically been the worst month for stock prices," said Koesterich. He added that price swings could also increase on the next FOMC meeting and elections in Germany, two key events for September.
While BlackRock still sees more upside in stocks the next year, Koesterich suggested lightening up on segments that look the most extended. They include small caps, retailers and other consumer-discretionary names.

Simple Way Of Writing Diabetes Research Papers
We celebrate 14th November as the world day for awareness against Diabetes. This reflects that diabetes is a commonplace disease prevailing in all countries over the world to the extent that after every 10 seconds a person dies of Diabetes. So, if you are required to write a diabetes research paper then you are up for an interesting task. Being Biology related topic, diabetes research paper should be approached like breast cancer research paper.
If you are asked to write a short paper then it is better to discuss reasons of this disease or effects of this disease or the means of controlling diabetes.
But if you are required to write in general then you should approach it in the same way by drafting an outline li just like you would do in cloning research paper. You must split your paper by discussing the following parts.
- IntroductionDescribe the diabetes briefly. The disease caused by dysfunction of Insulin, a hormone that helps cells in taking up Glucose from bloodstream. Cells use this Glucose to produce energy. In this disease human body generate less or no Insulin altogether.
- Symptoms of the diseaseIt is good to discuss symptoms of diabetes in the diabetes research papers . General symptoms of diabetes are frequent urination, tiredness, weakness and weight loss. Initially there are no obvious symptoms but with the increase in sugar level, all sorts of symptoms keep sneaking in.
- Types of DiabetesElaborate on TYPE 1, TYPE 2 and Gestational Diabetes. In TYPE 1 Diabetics their immune systems attack and destroy Insulin. This is commonly found in young ones who are 1 year to 30 years old. Daily injections of Insulin are a must in this type of Diabetes. TYPE 2 generally occurs in elderly people. Gestational Diabetes happens to some women during their pregnancy and often goes off after the delivery of baby.
- CausesDiscuss various causes of diabetes in your diabetes research paper . TYPE 1 is caused by heredity and the responsible gene is discovered to be carried by chromosome 6. In fact, all types of diabetes is more or less caused by heredity factor, however, it is very difficult to pin point exact gene for TYPE 2 as effected genes vary from person to person. The other reasons for diabetes are obesity, acute tension, improper diet and hormonal disorder.
- Cure or controlDiscuss in diabetes research papers how diabetes can be cured, controlled or prevented and same thing should be discussed in your research paper. Diabetes has no cure till date. It can be controlled by taking Insulin, changing diet habits and regular exercise. Insulin in-take is necessary in all types of diabetes. It is not fatal disease if detected.
We produce original research papers that are free from plagiarism and we provide 24/7 research paper writing service for all the students who want quality research papers on any topic. So, if you are looking for quality papers feel free to contact BestResearchPaper.com

WEST — With a congregation of more than 1,500 people torn apart by loss before him, the Rev. John Crowder spoke Thursday of hope and renewal.
"We won't let our disaster define us," said the First Baptist Church of West pastor. "We won't let our past confine us." The message of strength came during an event marking the first anniversary of the deadly 2013 fertilizer plant explosion that unleashed emotional and physical carnage West is still struggling to overcome.
The ceremony capped a bittersweet milestone in this Central Texas town's path to recovery. Thursday's service, "West 4-17 Forever Forward," began at 7:30 p.m., about the same time a fire broke out last year at West Fertilizer Co. on the northern edge of town.
A moment of silence came at 7:51 p.m., one year to the minute that the blaze caused a stockpile of ammonium nitrate to explode. In seconds, the fiery explosion killed 15 and injured more than 300 people. It damaged or destroyed more than 200 houses, three schools, a nursing home and an apartment complex.
The blast site is now cleared. Gone Thursday were the mangled remains of the fertilizer plant's buildings that sat for months while state and federal agencies investigated the explosion. The state fire marshal hasn't determined what caused the fire.
Across the street from where the plant once stood, a white cross memorialized fallen firefighter Cyrus Reed.
"Cyrus, miss you ... love you always," his parents wrote on it.
Mayor Tommy Muska said Thursday the families of the victims, which included 12 first responders, were doing as well as could be expected.
"It's going to be a hard day for a lot of them, but they're some strong people," Muska said.
The anniversary was a day to remember lost lives and devastating damage — but also to celebrate the resilient spirit of a farming community that's continuing to rebuild itself.
"This in no way is a magical number that we're all of a sudden going to be healed," West volunteer firefighter Robby Payne said. "What it does mean is we are going to be past all those firsts."
Kolaches, gratitude
At 6 a.m., employees at the Village Bakery in downtown West were doing what they always do: filling orders for the popular, freshly baked kolaches. But there were more than the usual number of requests Thursday.
"I normally get here at noon, but with all the orders to fill, I came in early to help," said Ruby Kotch, who has worked there five years. In the background, a radio tuned to KWTX-FM, a Waco station, made frequent references to the anniversary.
For many in this town of almost 3,000, Thursday was a day for being with loved ones. And when people gather in West, you can be sure to find a dozen or more kolaches. The doughy pastry filled with fruit, cream cheese or meat is as much a part of life in this Czech community as hunting, fishing and pickups.
The bakery was relatively untouched by the explosion, but many of its employees felt the effects. One woman rented a home from Kenny "Luckey" Harris Jr., the Dallas firefighter who died in the blast. Just before the explosion, Kotch drove past the fertilizer plant after she dropped her husband off at a Knights of Columbus meeting.
Minutes after returning home, the explosion lifted up her roof. Fearing the worst for her husband, she waited three hours before finally hearing from him. "I consider myself lucky and thank God each and every day," she said.
Morning prayers
Students and teachers from St. Mary's Catholic School held a morning prayer service to commemorate an event that touched many at the grade school personally.
"We wanted an element of remembrance, but also of hope," said principal Ericka Sammon.
Among those killed in the blast was Joey Pustejovsky, the town's city secretary and a firefighter with the West Volunteer Fire Department. His young son, Parker, attends the school. The mayor's daughter was in eighth grade at the time of the explosion.
Students from the elementary school, wearing their school uniforms of red polo shirts and khaki pants, acted as ushers and prayer leaders. A choir that included 17 fifth-graders sang hymns from the loft overlooking the sanctuary.
In a solemn candlelight ceremony, 15 students walked slowly to the altar, one after the other, each holding a candle to represent an explosion victim. The students were chosen at random to carry the candles except for one: Parker Pustejovsky, who held a candle for his father.
Parker's mother and other family members stood by, ready to walk up the aisle with the shy 5-year-old. But he decided at the last minute that he could do it without their help, Sammon said.
"I think his father was with him in spirit," she said.
Outside the newly rebuilt West EMS building, flags flew at half-staff Thursday —just as others did all across town.
These flags, though, had tattered ends. Their vibrant patriotism had faded into a washed-out red, white and blue. They were the very same flags that had whipped at half-staff the day of the blast, already lowered for the Boston Marathon bombing two days earlier. They have remained there ever since.
Inside the station, paramedics and volunteers gathered late morning for coffee and camaraderie. They gravitated together to be with the ones who saw what they saw that night, to be with the only ones who understood.
Marie Walters, who was a first responder a year ago, knew there would be tears. She touched her chest as she spoke about the four EMS workers who died, revealing a recent tattoo of a blue daisy with four fallen petals.
"We'll have our good times today, we'll have our bad times," she said. "But we'll get through it, because not only are we 'West Strong,' we're 'West EMS Strong.'"
Around lunchtime, Walters found one of those good times: A new ambulance arrived at the station, delivered from Ohio to replace one lost in the blast. Everyone went outside to welcome it and take pictures of their shiny new toy.
"You picked a good day to bring it to us," Walters said, smiling.
After a busy morning, Kelciey Petter bustled around her kitchen Thursday afternoon and refrigerated flowers she would later take to Pustejovsky's widow.
The Petters are among dozens of West families living in new houses built where destroyed homes once stood.
"We remember everything lost, but we're also grateful for everything we have," Petter said.
Throughout her neighborhood, empty lots remain. Some were up for sale. Construction crews continued to work on dozens of other houses that hadn't been finished yet.
Petter spent the morning taking food to the West Volunteer Fire Department and watching her son at the St. Mary's Catholic School prayer service.
Her neighbor is one of the firefighters who responded to the blaze and survived the blast. She said she and her husband planned to go to the fire station later that night to support him and the other men.
West was a tight-knit town before the blast. But everyone's even closer now.
"That's been a blessing," Petter said.
Too much for some
Nearly everyone in town — and many from out of town — gathered together Thursday night for the ceremony.
The ceremony was too much for some — several of those most intimately affected by the blast couldn't bring themselves to attend. One firefighter said he'd visit his friends' graves and perhaps have a cold one in their honor. EMS workers planned to have a potluck and a "slumber party" at the station.
"They'd rather be [there] with the group," said Coil Conaway, a West EMT who did attend. "It's just where they're most comfortable."
While officials emphasized hope and strength, sticking to the event's theme of "moving forward," it was difficult not to make comparisons to the year earlier.
The choir sang about working together just as firefighters were being dispatched to the enormous blaze a year ago.
The Rev. Terry McElrath of Tokio Baptist Church said he remembers that he was finishing mowing the lawn when he heard sirens. He didn't think anything of it, not knowing the danger the firefighters were in.
West volunteer firefighter Marty Marak knew. He was among those at the plant, battling the blaze. He and other first responders attended, inconspicuously mingling in with the rest of the crowd.
Much like they did last year when they were needed, Marak and the others showed up Thursday. Much like last year, they got through it quietly, without fanfare, just doing what they needed to do.
Conaway stood with other EMS workers, his arms folded and brow furrowed. Marak, in a red West fire department shirt, showed little emotion, looking straight ahead.
At 7:51 p.m., all fell silent. Photos of each of the dead played one after another. Name after name. Loss after loss.
After the ceremony, a light commemorating their sacrifice was projected from the blast's site. The beacon shined upward into the night.

We could call this a good deal right? The original Motorola DROID also known as the Milestone brings back some good ol Android memories for many. This device may be a dying breed with all the 4.0" screens and dual-core processors these days but if you love some original DROID and a keyboard this is a pretty solid deal and worth a quick shout if you ask me.
This here is a brand new, fully unlocked and contract free Motorola Milestone for only $189. If I saw this deal about 18 months ago I would have lost it and bought three. In today's high-powered Android smartphone world this is more of a novelty device than anything. I know there are still thousands of users still rocking the OG DROID -- and many are probably finally ready for an upgrade and are awaiting that Galaxy Nexus.
This is a bit different than the original DROID from Verizon. The Milestone is the GSM packing European brother to the Verizon edition but is basically identical. So no, you can't buy this and hope to use it here in the states on Verizon but for all others this is actually a fairly decent deal -- I suppose. If a 600 MHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, QWERTY keyboard and a Motorola phone absent of their "Blur" UI interests you then this would make a perfect phone. Get in while the deal is still available. Have fun!

INDEPENDENCE –– Fort Chiswell spoiled a lot more than the first official game on the newly-dedicated Thomas Owens Court.
In a game in which Grayson County hoped to cap a night honoring their former coach by taking another step toward a possible district title, Fort Chiswell caught fire in the second half and rallied to an 86-68 Mountain Empire District win.
Cameron Frazier goes to the hoop for two of his 18 first-half points. Frazier left the game early in the second half with an ankle injury, but the Tide prevailed 88-75.Galax and Fort Chiswell played the first eight minutes of their Mountain Empire District showdown Friday night at a preposterous rate, on pace for a 132-112 final score. Even the halftime tally of 50-48 was ridiculous for a high school game. But what was truly absurd was the thought of Galax dropping back-to-back district games.
TAZEWELL –– Carroll County built a big cushion in the second quarter and went on to defeat Tazewell 57-51 in a Southwest District girls' basketball game Friday.
Trailing 12-9 after eight minutes, the Cavaliers (13-5 overall, 11-0 district) outscored the Bulldogs 20-7 in the second period to take a 29-19 halftime lead.
Lindsey Martin and Kayla Goins led Carroll County with 14 points each and Rachel Dalton dropped in 12 points. Tazewell (5-11, 3-5) got a game-high 18 points from Kelsey Sutherland.
Carroll County 9 20 11 17––57
RINER –– With the divisional playoff setup in place for the second year, there is no way Division 1 Galax and D2 Auburn can meet in the postseason.
It's a shame. Because the two teams put on a tournament-quality performance Friday night.
Today's special guest is Drew McCraw, an all-Southwest District lineman for the Carroll County football team and the No. 2-ranked heavyweight wrestler in Group AA, behind Andrew Miller of Bassett. McCraw is a senior and is drawing serious recruiting interest in both sports. Though he is open to playing either sport in college, his main focus right now is of course wrestling and the upcoming district, region and state tournaments.
BLAND –– Grayson County took a 27-16 halftime lead and held on through the second half, claiming a 61-51 Mountain Empire District win Friday.
Preston Bowen and Eric Harvey led the Blue Devils with 14 and 13 points, respectively, and Bubba Bowen added 11.
Grayson County 13 14 10 24––61
Bland County 5 11 10 25––51
Grayson County (13-6, 3-2)
Rutherford 9, P.Bowen 14, Eller 5, Harvey 13, B.Bowen 11, Blizzard 9.
Bland County (5-12, 0-5)
Over the years, Grayson County-Galax basketball games have been decided by buzzer-beaters, they have been lopsided laughers and they have been swayed by tremendous individual efforts. The most recent meeting was the first one in which the outcome was greatly influenced by a scramble for the ball near midcourt.
Galax rallied from a 12-point deficit to tie Grayson County by early in the fourth quarter when a debated call resulted in a huge momentum swing leading to a 74-67 Blue Devil win in a Mountain Empire District game Saturday night.
Galax jumped out to an 11-point lead in the first seven minutes and battled through a game-long shooting slump to roll past Grayson County 47-38 in a Mountain Empire District girls' game Saturday night.
The Maroon Tide (7-10 overall, 2-3 district) managed just a 29-percent effort from the floor (14 of 49), but was aided greatly by an even colder 32 minutes by the Blue Devils, who hit just 8 of 52 from the field (15.4 percent) in falling to 1-19, 0-6.
HILLSVILLE –– Hello, 'W.' Good to see you again.
Carroll County snapped a six-game losing skid when James Lanning scored at the final buzzer, lifting the Cavaliers to a 60-58 Southwest District win Saturday over Grundy.
Lanning had given Carroll County (3-15 overall, 2-6 district) a 58-56 lead with a stickback before Grundy re-tied the game at 58. A missed Carroll shot went out of bounds to the Cavaliers, who called timeout with 2.5 seconds left to set up the final play.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County was held to two first-quarter points for the second game in a row, and a late-game rally couldn't overcome a 20-point deficit as the Cavaliers fell to Marion 60-50 in a Southwest District game Wednesday night.
Though Marion (8-6 overall, 4-3 district) didn't exactly leap out of the blocks – the Scarlet Hurricane didn't score until nearly three minutes into the game – Brock Hannah hit a pair of 3-pointers as Marion opened the game on a 12-0 run.

I fucking miss Mest. Like, I always have, but I was thinking about them a lot today and yesterday. Like, dude. I fucking miss them.
hey, hey, anyone have mo' money cos i can't find it and i really, like, need it. anyone?
I used to have a collection of Tony pictures and it was massive, but I dunno whatever happened to it and I can't find my damn old photobucket since I totally forget what the name was when I switched over to sleeponrooftops. All I can remember is the one before it, imanightmareeadisaster (Simple Plan, lol), but not the one before it. UGH. And my friggins MSN Group for them doesn't exist anymore cos they killed the Groups.
Fuck yea, never mind, I moved all the pictures onto the old one. WOO!
I just watched Seven Deadly Sins cos I'm a loser and I wanted to reminisce, and I remember, the fourth time I watched it, I actually typed up Matt's story cos, like, I dunno, I was weird and didn't realize I could just grab it on YouTube, and I used to fucking read it in school and just laugh my ass off. LOL, OH MY GOD. I remember doing that, it was fucking hilarious, my teachers used to come over and be like "what the hell are you reading?" It was amazing.
They were my first parental advisory CD ever, N'AW! The fourth one, the selftitled, I snuck it in Barnes & Noble, OMGAAAAAWD, LMAO, and then my dad was like, "Alright, lemme see this," and yelled at me in the car when he saw it and then my mom was so paranoid, she hadda read all the lyrics and was like, "YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO UNTIL I MET YOU! HE SAYS THE EFF WORD, LIKE, EVERY OTHER WORD!" I love that song, haha, it's just great. First punk rock show, I went four hours to Connecticut to see them in the Webster Theatre. That place is a fucking dump, but it was so worth it. Matt wasn't there, but it was their last tour, so I hadda go. My dad almost shot me. Wow, that was, like... four years ago or something? It was either 2005 or 2004, I can't remember.
Um, what else was I gonna say... Oh yea, even with my great love for Breathe Carolina and Avenged Sevenfold and, well, actually, The Cab is the only exception (actually, no, they aren't with the new EP), I don't know every word to all of their songs. Like, even BC, but that's mostly cos I don't bother looking up the lyrics for them half the time, haha. But, if you put on any Mest song, within, like, two seconds, I'll know it and can sing the entire song. Every frickin song. Swear to God.
Real quick...
alkdf;kad;lfjasdklf, I hate the black hair, btw.
I fucking bought Tony's shoes cos he wore the same ones, lol. I did that with Jacoby, though, from Between Angels and Insects, though, I'll admit. There's a pair of white Adidas in my closet, ha.
Fuckin' smile. I love him.
BENJI, LOL! I miss old Good Charlotte, too, btw, but I won't lie and say I don't like the new them because I always will love them. Unfortunately, Mest can't take position as first greatest band, that's GC's spot, but Benj turned me onto Mest with Jaded, thank God. I wish I'd known of them earlier, ):
Cried a little during this video, I won't lie.
Oh yea...
I don't think I could safely watch this tonight. Too many memories. I'm a loser, haha, sorry. I miss them, it's been a lonely few years.
He was my second husband, lol. NO WAIT, THIRD. In 2002, it was Rob Thomas, first ever, then in... um... seventh grade, haha, I dunno what year that was, it was Billy Martin, then, like, Tony stormed them all by default. He wins.
This is the hair my brother wants, lol.
Smile, adlkafjdl;kjfa.
Most amazing picture EVAR. Yay...
Green hair, ftw.
That is one sexy mofo...
little!tony! alkdjfal;kdf;adjf!
Um... yes.
I decided they were my favorite band of all time. That was a fun realization, haha.
One of the few bands my dad ever actually really liked that I loved. He listens to them when he's driving to work sometimes, haha.
I'll admit, though, I'm not particularly happy with Tony for the whole "new Mest" thing without any of the guys. It's pisses me off a lot, but whatever, I won't hate on him for it, just be silently angry.
My brother wants his hair from SDS, lol. He wants a mohawk sooooo bad. He also said he was gonna straighten his hair for the first day of school. HE IS SO METRO, ZOMGOSH! My dad's gonna kill him. It sucks sometimes, my dad's such a homophobe and, like, not even just that, he doesn't go for feminine guys and it really pisses him off that Tommy wears, like, fittedish shirts and crazy-colored shirts and shoes and, like, cologne and has gotten his hair straightened by a bunch of girls a couple times and actually liked it. Fuckin'... whatever, he's dumb.
I must interject to share Matt's story with you because it's damn hilarious and I love him for it, HAHA.
They also don't have Diamonds, pft.
someone make me tony icons, please. of anything, i just want blonde hair.
My username came half from them, ;D That, and Sleep by My Chemical Romance, yup. Rooftops is, hands down, my favorite song.
First band I ever cried over, lol. When Photographs came out, I fucking bawled my eyes out throughout the whole thing cos, like, it's such a goodbye album and then they announced their breakup and I just died inside. Saddest day of my life, legitimately.
I love that part in SDS when Jere's, like, beyond wasted and Tony's giggling like a little school girl in his bunk. I just, like, fall over everytime, I'm laughing so hard.
I gotta find my review of their show somehow. I think I sent it to my friend, but, like, she won't have it. I might've printed it out, hm. I think it might be in a shoebox in my room, haha.
Gloucester's water got contaminated today. I feel kinda bad, but BJs' sales are good cos everyone's buying massive amounts of water here, so I don't feel hugely bad since it's good for the Club, lol. I think I'm gonna ask them for my scheduled Monday off cos they need people to work less hours, and I don't normally work Mondays and I want the car, so blaaaaah, we'll see.
Helping with freshmen orientation on Monday, XD Gotta be at the high school by eight to help Jones (band director) organize and clean the room, although I have a feeling he and I are gonna spend the hour until orientation starts talking about my book, lol, cos he read it and was like, "BTW, I LOVED YOUR BOOK, (:" or something to that extent, haha. We emailed, it was funny.
Okay, so, like, I'll brb. I'm gonna go find that shoebox, haha...
"eyebrow twitching, read to rawwwwck" (that's so not what he says, haha)
I love them, lol.
Fuck yea, I found it. You're gonna laugh at me, promise, and, ugh, I'll put it under a cut for those of you who really don't care. OH, AND BTW, IT WASN'T IN THE SHOEBOX. It was totally in my closet and I totally remember putting it there cos it was on top of the shoebox with a huge pile of papers and when I cleaned my room out, it was pissing me off, so I shoved it all in the closet. Thank God it was on the top, haha.
He inspired my want for the DROVER on my lower back with the Boston skyline. That's why Alax has HART with the Boston skyline, too, haha. End of 25 to Life, the allergy part, YES! Tickle fight, lol. Fucking love this. Benji's such a loser, I miss him, haha.
"Okay, are you ready? This email is going to be so long, you're going to kill me for sending it. Here goes...
Okay, so we're driving to the place and we're trying to follow the directions MapQuest gave us. Not working. We've already got lost, like, two or three times. So, we're at a set of lgihts and my dad calls the Webster place to get directions on how to get there. We got there fairly easy after that. (BTW, INTERJECTION FROM PRESENT!ME. we were right down the street, lol...) As we're parking, though, the guy who tells you where to park is like 'hit me. c'mon, hit me.' My dad wa slike, 'no way!' It was kool. (omg, i'm such a loser, i'm sorry... -hangs head in shame-) So, anyway, we got out, I left my sweatshirt there, and then we headed toward the theater. (i totally put an s on the end of that toward, wtf. sorry if i'm about to offend anyone, but i fucking hate when people put s's on the end of, like, toward, forward, backward, and such. i dunno, it just pisses me off.) I'm telling you, this was the shittiest concert I've been to yet. I felt so bad. Cuz, you know, I always go to, like, hockey arenas and stuff to see Simple Plan or Good Chalrotte play. (OKAY, I SAW SIMPLE PLAN TWICE BEFORE THIS, AND GOOD CHARLOTTE WAS THERE WITH THEM ONE OF THE TIMES, SO, YEA, I ALWAYS GO. lol, i was, like... thirteen? haha...) I just wish Mest was as popular. It's so mean that they're breaking up. *sigh* Sorry, I got off track.
So, we go to the window inside to pick up our tickets and we meet these other people who also came from Massachusetts to see them. See, I'm not the only crazy fan who has to see them on their last tour. Even if it does mean driving three hours and getting lost at least four times. *shrugs* It was fun, I'll put it that way. Definitely worth it.
So, we get in the place (after 45 minutes of freezing! that was when I called yoU) and it's, like, omfg. (um... okay. I put three exclamations points, someone please shoot me...) My dad was like, 'this is the shithole of the world. i cannot believe this. i am going to kill you.' Because, literally, there were no seats. (OMG, I WAS PAMPERED CONCERTGOER, GAAAAH!) It wasn't like a "theater house". At the back, there was a bar, in front of that was two sections where you could sit at tables (there were only about four tables per section too), and then there was the floor. The stage was just beyond that. And the stage was, like, beyond small. So, my dad was sitting on a stool behind me while I was sitting on the wall of the section. (so, like, i was terrified of being on the floor until, like, 2007's taste of chaos, haha.) I was, like, and I mean this completely, it's totally true, very literal I am at this point... I was 30 feet from the stage. Like, the distance between first and third base. I was like, 'omg, this is so frickin' kool.' (like, really, this is painful to type, ugh...)
The, umm, the guys who make all the lights go and control the volume and all that kool stuff (YOU MEAN THE TECHIES, DUMB!MARY?) was, like, right in front of me. Okay, time for the concert. Apparently, Mest added on another opening act, so this band called The Classic Crime (whom is amazing) came on and, I'm serious, I loved them. I've already looked them up. They were wicked good and they were a little bit of a scream bnad, so my dad didn't like them (um, what band were you listening to? lol...), but I thought they were awesome. Anyway, they were good and then there was an intermission for about a half an hour before Scary Kids Scaring Kids came on. The pianist in the band most likely thought he was playing every single instrument. He was drumming the piano, drumming his chest, playing air guitar, screaming out every word (he didn't sing either), and I'm sort of surprised he was even part of the band cuz he was ALWAYS (i didn't know how to italicize?) running back and forth on the stage, jumping, screaming, freaking, just... everything. He was crazy. I swear he could've hit his head on his piano at least a million times for the amount of head banging he was doing. Then, three quarters the way into their show, he's shirtless and, you're never going to believe this, he ran over to one side of the stage, climbed up onto one of the amps, and then climbed up the speakers. I'm telling you, those things looked like they were going to fall with him climbing all over them (cos no one does this, apparently...). I was like, 'holy shit! that guy's friggin crazy as hell!' He was freaky. So, he jumps down after a little while and then stage dives into the crowd. After they were done, there was another intermission for about another half an hour and then Allister came on. THey were amazing good. My dad even liked them. He was rocking along to every song and cheering when they finished a song. It was pretty kool. Nothing extremely exciting happened during their set.
Okay, time for Mest. The longest part of the email. After Allister finished, the wait was longer and I was beginning to get antsy. Then, they shut off the lights to signal the guys are about to go on. Still, we waited. And then, this is where I freaked out, I saw Tony on the side of the stage. Like, I saw his hair and I just knew it was him cuz, you know, it's Tony. (i totally squealed when i saw him, no lie. i was literally, like, almost hyperventilating and bouncing around and shrieking and yea... i get weird.) So, I turn around to face my ada and I have that really high squeaky voice I get when I'm beyond excited and I was like, 'omg! i see tony! i can see tony!' I must've done that at least four times before they came on. Now, I was going to go down onto the floor when Mest was playing, but I decided not to cuz it was just way too crazy. (mm...) So, Mest comes on and I fucking screamed as loud as I possibly could. A couple times too. It was so awesome. I was screaming, clapping, cheering, everything. I was bouncing up and down at that point too. As I said before, I was sitting on the wall, so I had a perfect view of Tony. Seriously, I could, like, see each individual tatoo on his arms. He was wearing a shirt unfortunately. Lolz. *laughs* Anyway, they start off by playing... umm... woah, I can't remember. Don't forget, it was about 10:30 when they came on. I was beginning to get a little tired. (holy fuck.) So, they played some song and I knew it, so I was singing along and... OMG! I REMEMBER! IT WAS FUCT UP KID! YES! Okay, sorry, but I did remember. Just thought I'd share. So, yeah, they played Fuct Up Kid first. I sang along and stuff and... *gasp* I forgot! Matt wasn't there! (i was so sad about this, ): like... maaaaan...) They announced a quarter way into the show that Matt was at home with his fiance and his baby, so they had some replacement guy that looked so way familiar. His name was Brian, I think.
But, yeah, anyway. Then they played a song that I didn't know the words to. All in all, they played: Fuct Up Kid, Fuck the Greyhound Bus (this was totally the encore, O.O), Take Me Away (Cried Out to Heaven), Kiss Me Kill Me, Last Kiss, Yesterday, Cadillac, Until I Met You, Jaded (These Years), Shell of Myself (I think), Drawing Board, Hotel Room, Lost Broken Confused (I think), and a couple other songs. Nick also sang a band from his favorite rap group, Stomachache <--- Not in that order. (cos nick's band, the one he sang in, totally wasn't stomachache. it was just some group he liked, lol. i was such an idiot...)
So, first huge event. This kid from the crowd jumps up onto the stage, puts his arm around Tony, and starts singing with him. Security had to come get him and he pulled Tony all the way to the other side of the stage. Then, Mest plays for a little while longer before Tony stops the entire song. He says, 'look, this is my last fucking show here. i want that kid back here cuz he deserves it and i'm not fucking playing until he comes back.' And, seriously, he would not play. He even went out to look for the kid for a bit. Then, he asked everyone what they did when you got thrown out and then he was like, 'who wants to just come up here and talk?' He brought some guy up and then the guy brought up four of his friends. Then, Tony maade an announcement saying, 'okay, here's the deal. apparently, the kid ran and i've got two police guys and a couple other people looking for him. we're going to play until he comes back.' I mean, seriously, he didn't play for 15-20 minutes. So, they finish that song (which was Hotel Room), play another song, and are halfway through another song when the kid returns. Tony stops in the middle of this song, comes to the very edge of the stage and says, 'first, look, i don't want anymore fighting (cus there were, like, three kids fighting). this is our last here. don't fucking ruin it. i swear, if you keep fighting, i'm not gonna play anymore. don't fucking ruin this show. and second... HE'S BACK!' (haha, he's such a diva. i wanna write about him again so bad...) The whole crowd was cheering when the kid ran on.
Next huge event. Halfway through the concert, Tony says, 'okay, so apparently you guys have a rule that you're not allowed to crowd surf. i'm hearing that you get thrown out when you do. so, wors to the wise, don't do it. instead, if we can't crowd surf, i wanna see the biggest fucking east coast circle pit. i want all you people over there to run that way and you people on the other side to turn and run the same way. let's go!' Then, he began signing again and the whole crowd was running around in this HUGE circle. (whoa, whoa! i love making fun of myself, lol.) When the song stopped, so didn't the pit, but it was really kool. Then, Tony says, 'okay, now we're oing to play photographs.' Here's the funny thing about this. He goes back to Nick as if to say something, comes back to the mic, is talked to by one of the guys, and then looks really confused. 'okay, i lied,' says he. ' i guess that's what drinking does to me. i can't even read my own fucking setlist. we're not playing photographs.' *shakes head* He's so cute. (denver, colorado, sds. "we're going on in forty minutes and we don't even have a fucking setlist yet." then, "i don't even know half these songs." LOL.)
Third major event. (jesus... Almost three quarters the way into their performance, Tony goes back to the drums, takes off his shirt (fuck yes!), and then Nick comes up front. Nick does his rap thing while Tony is playing the drums and smiling like there's no end. Seriously, he was laughing and smiling and singing and just having the time of his life the whole time. So, Tony comes back up to the front, Nick goes back to the drums, and Tony never puts his shirt back on (mmmmmmmmmmmm!). Instead, he does the shirtless guitar playing act (just punch me, it's okay...). He was so hott. Especially since he had blonde hair again too. They played a while longer, said their goodbyes, and then left. Everyone, including me, was cheering for an encore (der.).
Final major event. And they did one. An encore. I was SO happy. Tony comes out again followed by everyone, says this is really the last time he'll be in front of us, and then they play Fuck the Greyhound Bus. Mest leaves to many, many screams and cheers and yelling and then we leave.
(i'm listening to paradise, and at the end, before 25 to life, when he is like harumharum, LOL, i love him.)"
Okay, after that, I just rambled on about history stuff, -shrugs- I'm a loser, haha.
Everytime I see Take Me Away (Cried Out to Heaven), I start singing Plain White T's, haha.
Oh jeez, I definitely need to link you guys to this old story I had. I'm totally rereading it tonight. It's fucking amazing. And, lol, I just logged onto gcfanfics.com, fuck knows if I remembered my password, but apparently, I was right.

Few things in golf are more important than technique. The turn of the wrist, the speed of the hips in the follow through, the movement of the head, or a myriad of other small details can make the difference in a ball going straight down the middle of the fairway or slicing into the woods.
Working on the intricacies of the game of golf whether it be driving off a tee, chipping onto the green, or making a long putt are best worked on year round.
Marlow golfers now can get a leg up on their competition because they can work on their game regardless of temperature or precipitation because they now have their own indoor golf facility.
The idea of having an indoor practice facility became a reality last April when work on the 1,200-square foot facility was completed after four months of construction.
"I knew some individuals who had some smaller facilities that we would practice at when the weather wouldn't let us practice outside," Marlow boys golf coach Stephen Thomas said.
Thomas set about raising the funds to build the facility, getting individual and business sponsors to help offset the $25,000 cost of the construction.
"We got a really good deal on the costs," Thomas said. "The school paid for 10 percent of it and sponsors paid for the other 90 percent."
A large portion of the cost went toward the putting green, which was $8,000 and another $2,000 was spent on the nets used for driving.
The advantages are numerous.
"Most of our golfers do not play other sports so they can be in here working in football and basketball season," Thomas said. "When it is 30 degrees outside we have somewhere to work where teams that do not have one of these can't. It just gives us a leg up on the competition."
There is no taking a month to shake the rust off of a layoff lasting several months.
"They were ready to go when the season started," Thomas said. "They had already been working for several months and had their golf muscles ready. The only thing we had to adjust to was playing in the cold because we had been practicing in the heated facility."
The Outlaw and Lady Outlaws have been able to finish near the top in every tournament they have participated in so far as a team.

Duale: "We'll Take Pre-emptive Strike"
Issue 300
Hargeysa, 20 October, 2007 (SL Times) – Somaliland Foreign Minister, Abdillahi Muhammad Duale warned Puntland that, "Somaliland forces will take 'pre-emptive strikes' against the enclave of Puntland and will attack its major cities, if it doesn't stop its aggression against Somaliland."
Speaking to the BBC World Somali Service on Wednesday, Duale reiterated his government's commitment to secure " Somaliland's borders from foreign aggressors."
"Somaliland has lost patience with Puntland and will not sit by and watch, doing nothing, while its people and territory is under constant attack and terror," Duale said.
The minister was asked: "what truth is there to Puntland's President, Ade Muse's, claim that Somaliland was helped by former Islamic Courts fighters and Al-Qaida terrorists and that he has strong evidence to back his claim?"
"What nonsense. Nobody is going to fall for such propaganda. The entire world knows that Somaliland does not harbour terrorists, particularly, when you consider the fact that Somaliland has been a victim to terrorism. With 5 assassinations carried out on expatriates working in our country. These and similar operations were plotted and funded from the south ( Somalia) and trained in Eritrea. Somaliland is the only country in the region which has captured terrorists and prosecuted them in a court of law and secured long prison sentences against them."
Excerpts of the interview.
BBC: P/land claim's S/land attacked its forces in Las Anod, is this true?
Duale: No, it's not true. It was P/land who first attacked our forces from three positions in the early hours of Monday morning. Our forces repelled all three of P/land's attacks and this led our forces to chase out the rest of their troops, positioned, in and around Las Anod.
BBC: Isn't Las Anod a town belonging to P/land?
Duale: No. Las Anod is part and parcel of S/land. Sool region has been historically, culturally and politically linked with rest of S/land and has always been part of S/land. It was in 1991, in the Buroa conference, all the clans and representatives of the six regions (making up S/land) conveyed to the world that they have withdrawn from the 1960 act of union with Somalia and have established their former territory comprising of the ex-British Somaliland Protectorate as the independent state and republic of S/land. P/land has no whatsoever historical or legal claims over this region. P/land's flimsy argument is based on clan ties and that's all.
BBC: S/land and P/land, both, blame each other for starting the conflict. Who are we to believe?
Duale: The international community, know full well that S/land is responsible for the stability and peace prevailing in this region. P/land has in the past attacked, on at least ten different occasions, the armed forces of S/land based in the region, and every time, it was S/land who restrained its forces because the stability of the region was more important and valuable to us than taking retaliatory punitive actions against P/land.
It was not longer ago when the current president of P/land, Ade Muse, was fighting Abdillahi Yusuf (current TFG president) who was then P/land's president. His forces were defeated and chased out of P/land by Abdillahi.
Ade Muse and his forces, numbering a few thousand took the refuge and protection of the government of S/land and were settled in the S/land's armed forces base in Yagore, in Sanag region.
Ade Muse begged us to support him and help him capture P/land from Abdillahi Yusuf. He pleaded for us to supply him arms and logistics in his struggle to liberate P/land from Abdillahi Yusuf. And in return for our assistance, he vowed to recognise S/land.
We refused to arm Ade Muse and use him and his forces 'in a proxy war' to fight against Abdillahi Yusuf in P/land. Even though, P/land's forces, at that particular juncture of time were occupying Las Anod and were at war with us.
Instead, we convinced Ade Muse to settle the matter with Abdillahi Yusuf through dialogue. It was S/land who mediated the conflict between Ade Muse and Abdillahi Yusuf. We nominated traditional elders from S/land to act as envoys and reconcile the two.
S/land spent time and money in getting Ade Muse and Abdillahi Yusuf to cease their hostilities and come to an agreement. It was us who reconciled the two warlords to patch up and guaranteed Abdillahi Yusuf that Ade Muse is willing to talk and put down his arms. Again, it was us who got Abdillahi Yusuf to agree to some of Ade Muse's demands. Ade Muse returned to P/land and was given an official ceremony by Abdillahi Yusuf and became a high ranking government official in Abdillahi Yusuf's administration and went on to become the president of P/land.
All this said; it's obvious that S/land, past and present has valued the region's stability more than its neighbouring countries. And, it's unfortunate that today, the president of P/land, Ade Muse, is claiming to the world that S/land wants to destabilise the region as a whole. This is the very same man who begged us few years ago to supply him arms to fuel his war with Abdillahi Yusuf.
BBC: You recently travelled to Addis Ababa, was this to hold talks with Ade Muse
Duale: No. My trip had nothing to do with our conflict with P/land. Ade Muse was present in Addis when I was there but we never met. Nor did we go their to talk with the Ethiopian government over the conflict, we went their as routine, to discuss strengthening on how the two states can improve the current bilateral ties and partnership enjoyed by the two countries.
BBC: Did the Ethiopian government talk to you about the conflict in Sool region?
Duale: No, it didn't. As I said, we merely talked about issues relating to the cooperation in security, trade and commerce existing between us (S/land and Ethiopia).

Junior welterweight prospect Mercito Gesta of Cebu, Philippines will shake out before members of the media in San Diego on Wednesday at the Black House Gym in advance of his clash with Ty Barnett at the Texas Station Casino in Las Vegas, Top Rank announced on Tuesday.
Gesta, who is 24, takes a mark of 25-0-1 that includes 13 knockouts into his bout with Barnett (20-2-1, 13 KOs), of Washington, D.C., and is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision over Oscar Cuero in April.
Gesta received his nickname, "No Mercy," following his 10th professional bout, a draw with Rey Llagas in November of 2005 that ended due to cuts over Gesta's eyes from an accidental head butt.
"My team gave it to me. I'm cool with it. I actually started in Muay Thai and kickboxing when I was five or six years old," said Gesta.
"My dad, Anecito, was a professional in Muay Thai in the Philippines. I saw boxing was more popular, so I went to a gym in Liloan, Cebu, to train. I did pretty well, so my Dad said I could box. I then moved to the U.S. in November, 2006."
Vince Parra is Gesta's co-manager and chief trainer who will be on hand for Wednesday's media gathering and workout.
"Everyone is excited. We will have a lot of media here," said Parra. "Then we will have an army of fans heading to Las Vegas for the fight."
Gesta-Barnett is part of Top Rank's two-night "The Future is Now" promotion at Texas Station. On Saturday, August 4, junior lightweight Diego Magdaleno (22-0, 7 KOs), of Las Vegas, will face Antonio Davis (29-7, 13 KOs), of Atlanta, on Telefutura.
A newly-released video to be shown on Showtime chronicles the life of Robert Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KOs) and his wife, Casey, in advance of Saturday night's clash with Turkish-born Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17 KOs), of Hamburg, Germany.
In March of 2010, Guerrero chose to pull out of a scheduled clash with Michael Katsidis in order to be with Casey during her recovery from a bone marrow transplant. Guerrero's devotion to his wife and family were recognized when he received The Bill Crawford Award for Courage In The Face of Adversity from the Boxing Writers Association of America last year.
In what will be Guerrero's welterweight debut, the 29-year-old southpaw will be after his 14th-straight victory and his 10th knockout during that run against Aydin in a bout for the WBC's interim belt at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., near Guerrero's hometown of Gilroy.
The winner of Guerrero-Aydin will be the mandatory challenger to WBC titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr..
RING middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is scheduled to appear in a music video that condemns bullying as he heads into his Sept. 15 clash with WBC beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
During a press conference a few days prior to his 11th-round knockout victory over Matthew Macklin in March, Martinez (49-2-2, 28 KOs) accepted a late birthday gift from 14-year-old Monique McClain, a girl he has mentored in the wake of her having been bullied by peers.
"I gave him the boxing movie, Real Steel, which is a robot movie. It's kind of like a family movie. I think that he would enjoy it because he likes comedy," McClain said at the time of Martinez, who turned 37 in February.
"I gave him a shirt, because when we were in California, we had taken a picture and I put that on the back of the shirt. Right here [on the left side of the chest portion,] I also put a patch of the Argentina flag, where he is from."
As a result of having taken on the issue of bullying, Martinez has counseled McClain, a developing female boxer from Middletown, Conn.
McClain recently returned to school thanks to Martinez's encouragement after having quit as a result of abuse from her peers. She attended his triumph over Macklin along with her mother, Alycia, and grandmother, Alexa, who gave Martinez her rosary beads as a gift.
Heavyweight prospect Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder of Tuscaloosa, Ala., will pursue his 24th straight knockout in as many victories without a loss on Aug. 4 against Trinindad and Tobago's Kertson "The Warrior" Manswell (22-5, 17 KOs) at the Mobile Civic Center Arena Expo Hall in Mobile, Ala., Golden Boy Promotions announced on Tuesday.
Manswell has replaced Kelvin Price (13-0, 6 KOs), of Pensacola, Fla., who pulled out of the bout due to a rib injury.
A 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Wilder's clash with Manswell will be televised live on FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes starting at 10 p.m. ET, 9 p.m CT and 7 p.m. PT. FUEL TV will televise Wilder-Manwell on Sunday, September 30 at noon ET and 9 a.m. PT.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Trent T. Williams knew what my salary was and he made uncolicited orders to buy without my consent, charging me outrages fees. He did not advise me or tailor me to my individual circumstance, and knew that my salary did not qualify me to make high investments.
I trusted him, and did not think that he would rip me off. He advised me to make an investment from my home that was almost paid for, in order to secure a nest egg. He provided the Title Company, etc., and completed the application for me, as I did not understand what was going on. They had to get approval from my employment agency, and must have because the Director of HRD was fired.
I was called into his office and rushed from work, which was not too far away from his office to sign the Refinance application and I did not have time to read it. He sent me over accross the Hall to the Title Company. Little did I know that somehow, he Refinanced me for a Nest Egg and took over $300,000 of equity or all out of my home with Washington Mutual, and invested the money into high risk mutual funds, and loss money.
I was put into an Arm, and I became ill with Cancer, and went to him for my disability health/life insurance. He told me that I did not have it. I Refinanced to get out of the ARM with Olympia West and discovered that Trent Williams/Ameriprise and Scott Hardy Team, falsely posted my salary as making $6,000 per month in order that I qualify for the loan. That is fraud.
Trent Williams had a copy of my pay check, and knew what my salary was. I should have never been qualified to make that kind of Refinance. I almost lost my home while fighting Cancer. Mr. Williams, called me late one evening and said that he wanted to take a look at my TSP fund.
At first I said no, and why couldn't it wait until tomorrow? Anyway, he said that he was close by my house and just wanted to stop by. Little that I did not realize that Trent Williams just wanted to see my house, because he made a deal to steal it.
Mr. Williams was very unprofessional and I reported him, and nothing was done. All of my money is gone, and I am struggling on disability retirement. I went through tremendous stress and illness of almost losing my home, and being approved through a modification submitted to Bank of America. Trent Williams should have lost his license.
I was in the AEFA Securities Llitigation Settlement c/o the Garden City Group, Inc, in re American Express Financial Advisors Securities Litigation and received under $100.00. My advise to Consumers is to not invest your money with these RIP-OFF investors.

Aviva, an insurance company in Canada, has this community fund contest each year where the projects with the most votes get funding. Many of these projects are for animal shelters. Although the projects are in Canda anyone can vote for their favourite project. I have chosen to support "Shelter from the Storm" a project hoping to build single dog shelters for abandoned and stray dogs in Northern Alberta. Winters in the far North of Alberta are frigid to say the least! Each insulated shelter costs $150.00, they want to build 250. Here is a link to their project. If you agree it is the best idea please click daily for the next 14 days to support them.
Here is a link to the online view of the original email I was sent telling me about this years competition.

"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
Detroit Metal City, by Kiminori Wakasugi, is about a boy with two personalities. One personality wants to be a trendy, pop musician who sings about love and happiness, while the other currently fronts a death metal band and sings about raping women. Oddly, Wakasugi completely makes this unlikely state of affairs work without having to give the character a psychotic disorder in order to explain him.
Soichi Negishi looks like an average, kind of dweeby, young guy on first appearance. He wants to sing songs like "Raspberry Kiss," about "frolicking on the beach," and he takes his inspiration from Swedish pop. In reality, he turns into a complete death metal god when he gets into his costume and make-up and performs as the front-man of his band, Detroit Metal City, where he brag-sings about doing unspeakable things to your mother and father. DMC's Negishi is reminiscent of the Susan Boyle phenomenon. A person is tossed aside by society because of their unassuming looks, but when they open their mouth, pure talent comes out and attention must be paid. The difference between the two examples is that Negishi uses the costume of his alter ego, Krauser II, in order to become a person who can't be ignored or tossed aside. He's just too damn terrifying.
How does such a nice boy fall into a crowd that screams "kill, kill, kill!" and worships him as their degenerate, patricidal, death metal god? The first volume doesn't actually answer this question but instead shows why such a nice boy like Negishi, who wants to sing nice songs and do nice things, gets something out of performing as such a repulsive character. Suddenly, and hilariously, he not only performs as Krauser II, he also becomes him — a foul-mouthed, misogynistic, violent, ADHD-addled parent's worst nightmare. And in becoming Krauser, he may also be asserting his true feelings to the world in ways his everyday self can't even dream of.
Here is our sweet little indie pop band wannabe:
And here is our little boy all grown up into Death Metal God Krauser II:
This Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality-cycling effects his personal relationships in bizarre ways. At times he drives off potential girls who came for sweet Negishi and got…someone else entirely. Another time he uses Krauser to scare his little brother straight. The manga really ups the absurdity of both sides of Negishi's personality — his desire to emulate Swedish pop bands seems downright perverse, considering how easily he slips into the profane role of Krauser. Is there a real Negishi and what does he actually want? Krauser gives him the ability to scare the shit out of people in his everyday life who otherwise dismiss him, and therefore, he enjoys an odd form of social power that the role of Krauser II allows him.
DMC is wildly funny and isn't afraid to offend (and offend hard) in order to take aim at its many, many targets in the slick world of popular music and celebrity. In the end, both the pleasing indie pop persona is just as pretentious as the wild, angry, (rumored) baby-eater god of death metal. One persona just seems to offer Negishi a lot more pleasure, in spite of himself.
A review copy of Detroit Metal City was provided by Viz Media
I love the fact that you focus here on the ways Negishi uses Krauser to become someone who can't be ignored. I think you've hit on the core of that character in a way I did not (at least not fully) in my own review. This is fantastic.
I'm not a huge manga fan, but this sounds pretty good. Thanks, Danielle!
Anxiously awaiting the chance to finally read this. I've been hearing about it for some time and always thought it sounded like a title I would enjoy…
Melinda — Thanks! Now I can read your review, but I'm sure you explain the manga better as a whole, which might be more useful to readers in the end. I was just fascinated by how Negishi really seemed to be into being Krauser in spite of himself.
Chris — it is a pretty funny manga, I think a lot of American comic book fans would like this book.
Andrew — you'll have to let us know what you think. I thought the creator had a lot of fun with his subject.
One of the funniest mangas to come out of this decade.
The thing I like the most about DMC is how Krauser's followers truly believe he really is a superpowered demon. Well, that or they are constantly high…

This really is an exceptional review. I was concerned I wouldn't like it because of the crude stuff, but the way you've described Negishi's identity struggles makes me think I will end up enjoying it after all.
I saw the film adaptation of this last year. From what I remember it wasn't quite the Jekyll and Hyde split in the character. He wanted to be the teen idol kind of guy but didn't make any money so he got the gig as Krauser to pay the bills. I never got the sense that he even enjoyed metal until maybe the climax of the movie.
Michelle — Thanks! So are good reviews the ones that are convincing?
Annoyed Grunt — The film is an adaptation, right? I wouldn't expect them to be exactly the same if that is what you are implying….or maybe the manga will show Negishi embracing his love of death metal over time? We'll just have to wait and see….
The manga I tend to like are the really funny ones, Danielle — "Cromartie High School" is probably my all-time favorite — so that's definitely a point in "DMC"'s favor. Thanks again for letting us know about it.
I see it as alternative character interpretation: Some people think Negishi does like being Krauser and just can't admit it, others think it really is just a way to pay the bills, and others would say he clearly has a serious personality disorder.
I think Negishi accepting he actually likes death metal would signal the end of the series (only read up to the Satanic Emperor arc though, so who knows).

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Route 195 Redevelopment District Commission has agreed to pay a $1,000 fine after acknowledging that it violated the state's Open Meetings Act for failing to post notice of its July 8 meeting at least 48 hours in advance, the Attorney General's Office has announced.
The Office of Attorney General had filed a complaint in Rhode Island Superior Court against the commission, after the citizens advocacy group Common Cause filed its own complaint with the AG's Office. The state law requires public bodies to post notice of their meetings on the Secretary of State's website, which the 195 commission did on the morning of July 8.
The Attorney General's Office determined through an investigation that the commission, or its lawyer, knew the meeting had not been properly posted yet convened the meeting anyway. The office determined that the commission's action was a "knowing or willing violation of the OMA."
"If we determine that a willful or knowing violation exists, yet allow the public body to escape sanction by expressing remorse and offering assurances of future compliance, the Open Meetings Act would be in tatters," Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin said in a statement.

These photos are taken of graduates 1) receiving their diploma, 2) standing in front of a Lindenwood banner, and 3) a close-up photograph. Graduates can pre-register their e-mail, and GradImages will contact them when their photos are available for online viewing and ordering. While there is no obligation to make a purchase, proofs will be emailed and mailed to each student's address. Up to 6 (six) family members' contact information may be added to help share the good news and the photos by going to the GradImages site at
Lindenwood University has no affiliation with the photographer; inquiries should be directed to GradImages® Customer Service Department, and they can be reached by phone at 1 (800) 261-2576, via the web at www.gradimages.com, or via mail at GradImages® 3490 Martin Hurst Rd., Tallahassee, FL 32312
