Four teams competed in the mini tournament of four games, comprised of a mix of Special Olympics athletes and celebrity guests and sponsors. Sam Perkins, known by his nicknames "Sleepy Sam" and "Big Smooth" had this to say about his floorball debut: "Wow, floorball is a challenging sport and very exhausting. I didn´t have to run around that much on the basketball court. Great experience though and I felt that I got better all the time during the tournament. A great game and a great event". Sam Perkins is a board member of Special Olympics International and won a gold medal with the US national team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Donaire is Open To Facing Rigo at 126 or Catch-Weight
By Luis Sandoval
Nonito Donaire was unsuccessful in his attempt to beat Cuban sensation Guillermo Rigondeaux in their Super Bantamweight showdown on April 13th. It was a tough loss for the Filipino Flash as most felt he was simply dominated for most of the fight.
Many champions want to right their wrongs and Donaire is no exception. Donaire was on the recent edition of BoxingScene Radio and he was asked if a rematch with Ringondeaux was a priority for him.
Donaire's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, said the Filipino star may remain at 122 and target newly crowned WBC champion Victor Terrazas in October.
However, Donaire says getting down to 122 is very, very difficult and he would rather fight Rigondeaux in a rematch above the super bantamweight limit.
"Going down to 122 would be a disadvantage for me so I'll wait for them at 126. Or we can work out a deal in between where we can just fight with no belts or no nothing. We can just fight right there or even one of those catch weights. I don't want to take advantage of being the bigger guy or I don't want him taking advantage of me being the drained fighter. We definitely want to fight" Donaire would tell BoxingScene Radio.
Donaire announced he would be moving up to 126 pounds as making weight for the Rigondeaux fight was a bit difficult. Nonito has conceded to defeat and feels he made mistakes in the fight that cost him a victory.
"I know in my heart that he's not better than me in terms of speed and power. He out smarted me and that's something that hasn't been done in my career. I've always listened to my corner. I've always done things and I've always studied. But in this fight, I never studied the fight and that's one thing I have to go back on. It's not taking anything lightly and I just got to go train and everything that transpired in that fight was due to my mistake which was to study. I was in physical tip top shape but mentally I just didn't really care much of what he had to offer and that was a mistake that I made. And going from this point on I'm going to learn to study every fighter and learn their style and their ways of fighting. I think it will be easier for me" shared Donaire.
Donaire had right shoulder surgery last Friday. The shoulder was an injury he cited after losing his last fight, and said it had been a nagging injury. With Donaire being sidelined for several months, a rematch with Rigondeaux may not be in the immediate future.
You can listen to Nonito Donaire's interview in it's entirety by listening to the BoxingScene Radio podcast: http://tobtr.com/s/4563751
You can follow Luis Sandoval on Twitter @Truewest007. You can also tune in to BoxingScene Radio, Boxingscene's official audio show every Tuesday from 6-8PM PST with hosts Ernest Gabion, Luis Sandoval, and Ryan Burton.
Great fighters know their limitations and Donaire found out the hard way but learned from it. He should just move up to 126 and forget Rigo unless he is willing to do catchweight in between. Donaire might have a chance…Comment by elfag on 04-24-2013
[QUOTE=mezoomozaa;13286530]Man , I am a fan of Rigondeaux , but I give credit to Nonito that he accepted to fight Rigo , he was in a better position as the champion and fighter of the year , and he accepted…Comment by elfag on 04-24-2013
Rigo can only beat donaire if he knows he weight drain. Rigo scared of rematch at 125.5 pounds for the title back and know that Donaire have good shoulder again.Comment by Silencers on 04-24-2013
So Donaire would be willing to go back to 122 to fight Terrazas but not for Rigondeaux. Either way, even at 126 and with more studying or whatever Donaire wants to do before the fight, Rigondeaux would give him fits…Comment by mezoomozaa on 04-24-2013
[QUOTE=.:: JSFD26 ::.;13283850]Wasn't that obvious for that whole year when he came up with excuses not to fight him? And after it was signed how he was setting up roadblocks?

For a more recent photo see Steve Coley's picture
For a view towards the buildings see Bryan Southward's picture here
Fascinating photo. Taken through the lens of a good camera!!
The old ketch in the foreground is a real classic!
The Steve Coley shot shows minor differences. The Golden Hind looks well cared for ;>)
Hello there Jim
I am glad that the photos are of interest. My mother passed away recently, and in her possession were about 600 slides taken by her younger brother Anthony, who had died about 20 years ago. I looked at the first 30 or 40 and they were mostly family pictures, and all very dusty. The ones of Brixham seemed really interesting, and so I acquired a slide scanner and software to try to remove the remaining dust.
I was really surprised how good they were even when enlarged, and the thought occurred to me that it would be interesting to compare the pictures with those of the present day; and I found the one by Steve!
I think he may have had a Leica camera, but one of the most amazing thins for me was how he was able to take such clear photos. He had lost his right arm in Italy during the war, and I remember that he only occasionally used a tripod!
Well Jim I am hoping that I may find some more gems among the next 550, and it has already been worth the investment in a scanner!
Best wishes, Peter
Many thanks for the feedback Peter.
Commiserations on your Mums passing, my own mum is approaching her 90th year so that awful prospect yet faces me!!
I am really interested in your find, and as you say, they are amazingly good photos.
I am interested in purchasing a scanner, for I too have old 35 mm film. Can you recommend the one you purchased? (what make?)
Kind regards,
Hi Jim
I had recently uploaded some prints from a visit to New York in 1981, done with an ordinary scanner. As you can see I was taken aback by the reproduction of this slide!
I sent for an Ion 35mm/slide scanner which is one of the cheapest at about £75, but like a lot of other people the software would not work on my computer. I then decided to stick my neck out and bought a plustek Optical 7300 which had a decent software package to remove dust and scratches. It is a sturdier item but cost around £170.
The only problem I see with this one is that you can only use one mask for dust/scratch removal, and to use more you have to upgrade to the professional version. But for me the interest is in the photo and if I can find more like the Brixham collection I am sure a little scratch can be tolerated.
I have yet to try it with 35mm film, but I hope the results will be better than from a print.
I will let you know, Peter
hi pete nice picture ive also got a shot of that boat.i love that part of devon my sister-in-law lives there.catch up with you soon pete. best wishes Roger

The Arizona Wine Growers Association (AWGA) serves grape growers and winemakers in Arizona, allying its members for representation, promotion and education. The association strives to advance with integrity the sustainable growth and production of authentic Arizona-grown wines.
Our voting members are wine grape growers, winemakers and those in the process of entering the industry. Our associate members are wine grape researchers, wine retailers, restaurants, hotels, B & B's and other hospitality providers and industry vendors. Our supporting members are wine consumers and friends.
The AWGA is a voluntary, non-profit structure 100% self-funded through memberships, AWGA sponsored wine events, grants and advertising opportunities on our newsletters and soon to be on the website. The AWGA is a 501c5 non-profit.
AWGA voting members elect officers to a 2-year post. The officers make up an Executive Committee that reports to the membership. We have recently hired on an Executive Director to help us accomplish our goals and perform the day-to-day duties necessary for our growing organization. All officers work as volunteers.
Arizona's vineyard owners are a diverse group. There are insurance agents, lawyers, airline pilots, engineers, former college professors, a Hollywood movie producer, a rock star and medical professionals. Some of our grape growers also grow other crops such as pistachios and pecans. Wine professionals from other states are finding Arizona's wine industry to be an attractive investment and are planning new vineyards in the state.
An American Viticulture Area or AVA is defined by the US Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as having a unique climate, soil and physical features which distinguish it from surrounding areas. Arizona currently has one AVA. This viticultural appellation can be found southeast of Tucson in Sonoita.

I have 2 websites that are continuously spitting out "Bad link emails" that contain something like this...
A user tried to go to <strong>http://www.domain.com/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/tinybrowser.php?type=file&folder= and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn't their fault, so try fixing it.
They came from www.domain.com/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/tinybrowser.php?type=file&folder=
I have proper htaccess files, have re-saved permalink structure, etc.
The only common element is "Dean's Permalinks Migration" plugin that I installed to help with the issue.
Anyone have other ideas. The fact that this is happening on 2 different sites, on different servers, with different plugins (other than one above) is odd.
I have done an exhaustive search in WordPress Forums and on the web. None of the tricks or tips I have tried have worked.
Let me know if you have any questions.

As the training ground for Canada's national police force since 1885, it's not too much of a stretch to call Regina the spiritual home of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Since the days of the RCMP's forerunner, the North West Mounted Police, every Mountie has begun their career at Depot Division. It's a tradition this city is proud of and one reason why Reginans are inclined to consider these men and women "our" Mounties, long after they've completed their basic training here.
The Leader-Post and The StarPhoenix have teamed up to bring you full profiles of each of Saskatchewan's 14 ridings for this year's Federal Election to be held on October 19. Below you will find all of the nominated candidates for each of the four main political parties, a profile of ridings and a What To Watch section where our reporters break down for you the key issues for each region.
A group of students at Mother Teresa Middle School didn't just win a trip Canada's capital city. They earned it. On Friday, a class of 16 Grade 8 students found out they will be flying to Ottawa on Nov. 9 courtesy of WestJet to attend We Day, an event that helps empower youth to create social change.
Elections tend to be a great equalizer because all party platforms are subjected to the same accountability. However, this really only works when all parties subscribe to the quaint, old tradition of submitting a fully-costed platform at or near the start of the campaign for scrutiny.
Rather than a flypast and 15 gun salute, it is increased police presence at the Saskatchewan legislative building that is marking today's speech from the throne.
At the beginning of June, I travelled to Ottawa to join builders, renovators, developers and colleagues from across the country to converge on Parliament Hill.
The Canadian Home Builders' Association met last week in Ottawa with government and opposition parties in the wake of the very successful Forum for Growth hosted on Parliament Hill in late May.
After 24 hours of MPs voting in nearly 160 separate votes on the Harper government's 452 -page omnibus budget bill, we are left to ponder what was achieved and what was lost in the marathon voting exercise on Parliament Hill this week. Well, the government got its budget bill, Bill C-38, through the House and the opposition parties got to raise a ruckus, for a day at least, and all MPs lost some much-needed sleep.

Physical Home Staging:
You can also purchase one photo for $80 or two photos for $160. Unused photos will become credits that never expire.
Need a lot? Buy 20 or more photos and save.
Use them at any time. Starting at $1300
Todd Auslander
Keller Williams
My photos have furniture in them. Can they still be virtually staged?
We can remove existing furniture for an additional $85 per photo. This process can often take an additional 1-2 business days to complete. We'll then virtually stage your photos as if the room was empty. In some cases we can add new furniture around existing furniture if you'd prefer not to remove it.
How can I print my photos?
We can provide small (8×12″) prints for $19, medium (12×24″) prints for $49 or large (20×30″) prints for $69 shipped to your door in as little as 2 business days. Shipping in the US is $13 for the entire order via next day air.
See our printing page for more details.
I'm not sure if my photos will work.
We can work with 95% of all photos that we come across. Just make sure your photo was taken at eye-level (not while standing on a ladder or steps or when kneeling on the floor). For best results the photographer should also not stand where furniture is likely going to be placed. You can read more photography tips in our photography guide. If you're still unsure send us your photos and we'll let you know if we can work with them.

U-Socket USB Outlets
It seemed like a good Sunday afternoon, home alone activity… i'll install/upgrade a few outlets i impulse bought at Dwell On Design! Moans and groans and installing in spots other than i had planned… i'm wondering if these were just a novelty or truly adding a much needed convenience. So in theory, with SO many things charging via USB (and i love the USB charging ports in cars!) ~ having some added to outlets is a wonderful idea! And theoretically easy enough to switch! Right… and wrong. How old your home/wiring is will make a difference… i just learned which parts of my house have older outlets from probably 50+ years ago, and which parts have brand new ones… the electrical boxes are different sizes, and these new USB ones nearly fill newer ones… and don't fit the older ones. Also, when they cut your countertops/backsplashes, if it doesn't line up EXACTLY, these may not fit. (argh!)
On the upside ~ these U-Socket USB Power Outlets are supposed to reduce energy costs and minimize that vampire power issue when you leave things plugged in that don't need to be sucking power. And it is like turning your 2 outlet into a 4… (or a 4 into a 6, but those don't seem to be available yet!) So i'm still debating whether i need more… or whether a power strip does the trick in most spots… but i am totally charging my phone via USB outlet next to me as i type this! See more pics on the next page!

Sorry Nacha-anna to disappear into my room after dosas. They were recording it live and didn't want to sound sillier than I normally do.
Listen to the interview here.
Begins at 21:23: The battle over gay rights in India is in the courts and on the streets after the Indian Supreme Court refused to review a decision to restore the criminalization of gay sex. Shoba Narayan, a freelance journalist based in India, weighs in.
Listen to it here.
So they emailed….suddenly.
I told them that my friend, Vikram D. who is an openly gay journalist would be the better person to speak.
Called Vikram. He was in an auto, on his way to IIT to speak on this subject.
They needed it in half an hour. Which wasn't possible for Vikram.
So connected Takeaway with Vikram by email and did my spiel.
Have so much to say on this topic.

I just wanted to reach out to you as we're very interested in this story concerning the Supreme Court ruling on the gay sex ban: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-25925990
Is this something that you are following and might be available to talk to us about? We'd just need 5-10 mins with you and we could tape something via SKYPE in the next hour, if possible?
It would be good to touch the culture of conservative India and how same-sex relationships are still considered taboo my many etc.
Sorry for the short notice…. If you could hit "reply all" when you're able to respond, that would be great.

Love NPR. Still listen to it.
They called from Boston to interview me about this. As always, I won't listen to it (prefer to listen to something other than the sound of my own voice) but in case anyone wants to, here is the link.
Also embedded below.
Every once in a while, Radio New Zealand calls me for Bryan Crump's show, "Nights on Radio New Zealand." It is a surreal experience, not the least because koels are cooing here and it is night there. I submit three topics and we discuss this, usually live. I don't know how to listen to it but here is the link on Radio New Zealand.

Pregnant & Golf
My selfish husband doesn't think about anyone but himself. He wants to drive 2 hours away to golf with a bunch of his old friends while I'm left home 9 months pregnant with two boys and a crazy house. I'm 7 months now, very uncomfortable, and I'm already having a very hard time doing routine things. I am shocked that he would be willing to leave me when there's a chance I could deliver early (as I had done with my last son). What if I need to go to the hospital and I can't get a hold of him, or he gets caught in traffic, or who knows what could happen.
I'd like to attend a golf outing with a bunch of old college buddies, but my wife is adamant that I don't go and is calling me selfish for even thinking about going. The outing is three days before the baby and her scheduled c-section. It is also a two hour drive away, and she is worried that I'd be unavailable, out of reach, and/or unable to get to her if the baby came early. She had a rough pregnancy with our last boy, was on bed rest for 2 months, and needs to take it easy for these last two upcoming months of the current pregnancy. I don't want to leave her by herself, about to burst, with our two boys, dogs, etc. while I golf, so I wondered if she'd be cool if her mother and/or brother would help out while I'm gone - which they love to do by the way. The way I look at it is that I don't get out much at all anymore, and things are going to get crazy busy for me once the baby arrives ~ especially since she'll be unable to do much for 1-3 weeks after the c-section while I assume almost all the kid, house, school, lawn, dog, etc. duties. Also, as for being 2 hrs away, I'll have my cell, and could be back in 2 hrs tops if anything were to happen.

About Teen Stylin'
What is Teen Stylin'?
Established in 2005, Teen Stylin' offers valuable assistance and guidance to students with a passion for clothing design, studio arts, installation art, and sculpture. Over the course of a semester, more than 80 Virginia student designers in grades 6 through 12 will construct one-of-a-kind wearable works of art inspired by the annual special exhibition theme and works of art in the VMFA permanent collection. These creations will be featured during a Teen Stylin' Fashion Runway Exhibition.
An average day of questions and answers during a Teen Stylin' workshop:
Q: Where are the scissors?
A: Look in the blue bins on the table.
Q: Is there more hot glue?
A: We have an endless supply. Look in the blue bins on the table.
Q: I smell smoke; is something burning?
A: Unplug that hot glue gun . . . quick!
Q: Do we have more tape?
A: Probably, look in the blue bins on the table.
Q: Do you have birdseed? How about dirt? Sand?
A: No. Yes. Yes. Look in the clear bins on the back tables.
Q: Can my model go barefoot? Can I go barefoot?
A: Yes, as long as it relates to your design. Why?
Q: How many stairs do we have to walk down? Has anyone fallen before?
A: 14. Yes, but they recovered gracefully and went on to win an award.
Q: My model has pneumonia. What should I do?
A: Find a different model.
Q: Can I cut this? Can I spray paint this?
A: Yes. Yes, but go outside, wear a ventilation mask, and lay it on a dropcloth.
Q: Do you have any burn ointment? I just touched the hot glue gun.
A: As a matter of fact, I do. No more touching hot glue guns.
Q: How do you use plaster? Can that go on my model's skin?
A: I'll show you. Technically, yes, but it would pull every single hair out when you tried to remove it.
How it all works:
Teen Stylin' is a year-round commitment that begins with convincing a fine art museum to host more than 500 teens and their families as they take over the museum for two nights. VMFA places very few limitations and restrictions on the teen designers, except when it comes to the use of glitter. Farewell beloved glitter.
Once we get the go-ahead for another year of a fashion-meets-sculpture program and event, museum educators and teen advisors choose a theme, such as "Forbidden" (2014) or "Engineered" (2015). Over most of the spring and summer, teen program interns scour the museum's permanent collection to identify works of art that relate to the theme and are:
- in cases, covered in glass (as dictated by our conservation staff for the protection of the art)
- located anywhere but in a corner
- thoroughly spread out in every part of the museum (so there are never more than two designs in a single gallery)
Once we have a list of 100 or so approved objects, our summer teen interns put together research packets for every single piece. Tours are developed to teach student designers more about their artworks, and scripts are written for docents. About one month before the program launch, students submit their applications, and more than 100 packets of information are assembled for distribution on Designer Orientation Day, when students walk into the studio for the first time and see images of the artworks that will inspire their garments. An hour later, they set off to the galleries for a docent tour and to view their garment inspiration up close and personal.The heat is on. From mid-February through mid-May, student designers work feverishly to create their garments, incorporating unconventional materials and techniques and practicing armature construction, material manipulation, and rendering. As their final assignment, designers select a soundtrack for their runway piece and write an artist statement explaining their design choices. The teens provide this artist statement, a list of materials, design shots, and an image of the inspiration piece to the judges the night of the event.
After eight weeks of labor, love, laughter, burns, blood, and even tears, the students' designs are featured in a final runway event. Judges choose the nine students from grades 9 through 12 who will win a trip to New York City and six from grades 6 through 8 who will take home awesome fashion designer portfolio kits (including brand-new sewing machines). But regardless of the results, every student designer is a winner. They have pushed themselves further creatively than many of them ever imagined. They have successfully managed their time and stayed true to their commitment. They have worked through the major problems of creating wearable art from unconventional materials. They have repeatedly rebounded from mistakes, turning them into creative adventures. They have coped with their fear and presented themselves and their ideas to a live audience of more than 400 guests. In the end they have plenty of reasons to be proud.
And in June, we start over. We evaluate the program—the successes, the failures. We edit, add, omit, and change, all the while, imagining what next year will bring.

Amir Khan Discusses Manny Pacquiao's KO Defeat, Roach
By Keith Idec
Amir Khan understands what it's like to be the favored fighter who loses by knockout.
That's among the reasons Khan felt for Manny Pacquiao when Juan Manuel Marquez knocked Pacquiao unconscious with one punch Saturday night in Las Vegas. The former WBA super lightweight champion also emphasized, as he prepares for his fight against Carlos Molina on Saturday night in Los Angeles (Showtime; 9 p.m. ET), that he doesn't blame the strategy designed by his former trainer, Freddie Roach, for his ex-sparring partner's devastating defeat.
"Manny Pacquiao's a great friend, a good friend of mine," Khan said. "We worked together, boxed each other a long time. And also, Freddie is a great trainer. You know, it's a shame to see a friend get beat. It just shows that's boxing for you.
"In boxing, one punch can change a fight, no matter who you are. Manny is such a great fighter. Going into this fight I believe he was favored to win the fight, but one punch can change a fight. That's boxing for you. We've been training very hard because we've been in that position, where we were beating Danny Garcia and we got caught with a shot. That's boxing for you."
Khan (26-3, 18 KOs) fired Roach following his fourth-round technical knockout defeat to Philadelphia's Garcia (25-0, 16 KOs) on July 14 in Las Vegas. The British boxer has since stated that Roach didn't concentrate enough on defense while working with him, but he declined to criticize Roach when a reporter repeatedly asked him on the aforementioned conference call if his famous former trainer made mistakes Saturday night that directly led to Pacquiao's loss.
"It's hard to point fingers and say, you know, it's Freddie's fault or it's Manny's fault," Khan said. "You can't really say anything. At the end of the day, look, he was winning the fight. It was so exciting with great fighters in there like Marquez and Pacquiao … one punch can change the fight because they are very experienced. So you can't really blame no trainer or anyone. It was just that Marquez was very clever and very smart, and he hit Manny Pacquiao with a good, clean shot."

The Badgers raced to a 14-0 lead before seeing the Spartans go on a tear to lead 23-14 at halftime. Michigan State pushed its lead to 31-17 early in the fourth quarter before Wisconsin rallied to tie the game, 31-31.

Ward's Promoter: We Can Do 16,000 For Bute in Oakland
By Keith Idec
ATLANTIC CITY — Andre Ward doesn't appear all that interested in facing Lucian Bute in his next fight.
Even if he does, the fight won't happen in Montreal or Quebec City, where the Montreal-based Bute has become one of boxing's biggest attractions.
"We don't need to go there to fight him," said Dan Goossen, Ward's promoter. "We can do 16,000 fans in Oakland."
Ward (25-0, 13 KOs) has plenty of leverage after defeating Carl Froch in the "Super Six World Boxing Classic" championship match Saturday night. The 2004 Olympic gold medalist owns the WBA and WBC super middleweight titles and is sure to move up on top 10 pound-for-pound lists following such an impressive performance against Froch (28-2, 20 KOs).
Nevertheless, a Ward-Bute bout would do bigger business either at Montreal's Bell Centre, home of the NHL's Canadiens, or Quebec City's Pepsi Coliseum, where the Romanian-born Bute beat Glen Johnson by unanimous decision Nov. 5. The Bute-Johnson fight helped draw a crowd of 15,306, despite that Bute was a heavy favorite. A crowd of just 5,626 attended the Ward-Froch fight at Boardwalk Hall.
But Bute is willing to fight Ward in Oakland, where Ward trains.
"I can go to Oakland," Bute said, before adding, "I'm thinking [Ward] will not come to Canada to fight me."
Ward, a native of nearby Hayward, Calif., has fought four times at Oakland's Oracle Arena over the past 2½ years. He and Goossen said following the Froch fight that Ward would like to fight in Las Vegas, something he hasn't done since making his pro debut seven years ago.
Bute (30-0, 24 KOs) would fight Ward there, too, for the opportunity to settle the super middleweight debate in what would be a highly anticipated unification fight.
"I fought in Montreal only because I sold 15,000, 16,000 tickets," said Bute, the IBF 168-pound champ. "And I received no offers from other fighters to fight outside of Montreal or Quebec City. That's why I fought in Montreal, not because I didn't want to fight outside of Montreal — because there were no offers, no options there.
"This is the next step in my career. I've been a world champion for four years and I've had nine successful title defenses, and now I'm contracted with Showtime. I'm very happy with that. And now I want to fight in the U.S., because it's the next step. It's my dream to fight in the U.S. That's the next step in my career."

Haha, Vincent and Yuffie just don't know what to do with each other. Well, Vincent doesn't know what to do, and Yuffie hasn't figured out how to clue him yet, but she'll get there. Thanks for posting!
| Ligare chapter 1 . 4/26/2011
Vincent in the games had never been so verbose but I have to admit speaking poetry kinds of suit him. Probably because he tends to be contemplative. I somehow get the image that he's the type of person who reads a lot and enjoys obscure literature.
| Weskette chapter 4 . 10/9/2010
I hope you add another! I like this.
| Kiala Karvos chapter 4 . 7/27/2010
Hehehehe. I kept snickering at the thought of conversation...and i realized something.
Vinnie and i have a lot of the same speech and the "shopping issue".
I like unusual things. Anyway (cough) I also talk really formal like he does. Not on here of coursee but in person usually.
XD Anyway, amazing chapter as ever!
| XlittlexninjaX24 chapter 3 . 7/23/2010
This is a REALLY good story! And you do Yuffie's POV really well, contrary to your belief... Are you going to contine this? I sure hope so...
Again, great story :)
| LucksFullmoon chapter 3 . 7/12/2010
This is great. Please, please, please continue this so we readers can find out what Yuffie did last night!
| Kiala Karvos chapter 3 . 7/7/2010
Ok so i had to laugh, at first i was thinking serious Vince ok, then it was like nice Vince and i thought ok, then he got funny and i thought WAY TO GO VINCE!
He might be a little ooc but thats cause Vince is ooc at times himself with no help from fan fic writers. i blame it on him. XD
So excellent work!
| Toph43 chapter 3 . 7/5/2010
omg! WHAT DID YUFFIE DOOo!
| serenbach chapter 3 . 7/5/2010
"Tifa blamed my influence. If it were her influence, he'd have grown boobs."
I am still laughing about that line. This was sweet, I really enjoyed it, and I think you've got post-socialisation Vincent's character pretty well. Good job. :)
| Chronic Jerk Syndrome chapter 3 . 7/4/2010
LOL I though Vincent had an iron box...
Haahaa I'm like... literally bursting out into loud laughter, about ready to wake my parents up!
Please continue! :]
| xXSilverSilkenWingsXx chapter 2 . 6/6/2010
you should totally continue! your a wonderful writer and i love all of your pieces. Please continue as long as you can!
| Kiala Karvos chapter 2 . 5/23/2010
YOU SHOULD REALLY DO THAT! The whole chapter thing. I would really love to continue reading this, if you did. Heck i would even encourage you to write a fic!
So now that the initial..OH MY GOODNESS is over, i must say... it was a VERY good chapter. Its very true. Vincent was portrayed SO well in this... i think im actually shocked by how well...
SO! i look forward to whatever else you may do~ Amazing job~~
| serenbach chapter 2 . 5/23/2010
'I love the how do I annoy thee?' comment, that really made me laugh. I love the flow of this, the idea of poetry as a unifying thing between Yuffie and Vincent is a clever one. And the ending made me laugh. Excellent job! :)
| Lauralolleee chapter 1 . 5/8/2010
Hey, don't be so harsh on yourself! I love Yuffentine, I think it's adorable and I think your story really hit the nail on the head. You got Yuffie's personality (and ego) perfectly and I like the way Vincent shows her his big ol' softie side. Escpecially the sneeze. That was genius ;)
| Weskette chapter 1 . 4/11/2010
Yuffie being drunk makes sense...

I can't be poor. I pay taxes.
Today, my sweet husband got so excited, and started talking about if he makes this much money every weekend, and I did not say, "and then the tax bill and the health care bill go up again." (This weekend's money will go toward his vacation: We take a long weekend vacation of 5 days, y'all, and Labor Day is it, thurs-mon)
I can't figure out what's going to happen to us because everything is too much money all the time.
I should tell the ACA what last year's income was again, or rather cop to it, because they're the government -- they know.
I am just going to keep writing here, but right now I'm depressed as fuck.
As a performance musician, I find a lot in common with my workspace nowadays. When I am in what they call "zone"-- I am in a loop where I am checking the results of what I just did while listening to the thing I'm about to type while typing the thing I'm actually typing. This reminded me that while performing music I have to learn the technique and practice the notation before I can get to the zone, where I am aware at the point of the music being *made.* When you find yourself in that space, the art suggests things. In cooking, it might be an unexpected pepper. In writing, it might be a perfect metaphor. A character might start speaking to you. Or the actor finds herself being spoken "through" by the character. I feel it is wrong to resist inspiration. That's what you did all the practicing for.
Originally posted by lafinjack at o hai journalism, ltns
I picked up an old diary. Trying to decide what to do with the old diaries. And I read two things that made sense in succession. things that have something to do with what happened. I always thought my diaries were disconnected.
It might actually be worth entering something.
I got someone yelling at me the other day. I insulted them deeply.
I told them I was smart. this was in response to them snarking at me for being a know-it-all. Yes, I know I can come off as a condescending prig... as long as I only do it when I don't mind pissing someone off--not inadvertently--it doesn't bother me much. I'm smarter than most of the people I meet--or ever could meet. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm usually brought up short by realizing someone doesn't actually understand x and they're just not bright enough to grasp it! This is embarrassing when it happens. I usually assume that though I may be smart, I know smart people and I'm actually probably not saying anything that intellectually challenging. (Smart people! They're just like us! They wear pants! ... ok, sometimes... They knit sweaters! ... with Tim Burton characters on them ... They watch sports! ... ok, no, they don't... where was I? oh yeah!)
Usually, my challenge is to not treat everything I think, know, feel, and believe like smart-brain fodder. Other people's emotional responses aren't stupid. Relationship issues aren't always the result of not figuring it out. Right now, I'm knowing intellectually that I ought to be exercising, but I'm not. Attempting to think my way into shape is just not going to happen, but it's great procrastination. I'm even trying to be clever in this paragraph, whose entire message is "Clever is only good for so much, and that muchness is just a sliver of all the things I need to do."
But if I actually know something someone else doesn't? To say, "The proof is here, so I cannot continue to respect your position in light of the facts," is apparently REALLY insulting. After giving it a lot of thought, it doesn't seem reasonable that the insult is "There are other facts," "You don't know these other facts," "I do know other facts," or any combination of those. The insult is "I cannot respect your position."
The reason is, of course, because I've challenged that person's status. Specifically, I have said, "No, I will not cede the argument because I will not accept that you have a higher status/greater authority on the issue than I do."
But when I look at it more, it seems that what we have (Internet we? United States we?) is, in the name of individual, egalitarian fairness, letting everyone have a voice, shedding race, gender, color, etc. in the wonderful Internet--what we have is a deep-rooted denial of all status indicators. In the voice of a U.S.-ian, "It's incredibly rude to remind me that we're not all actually equal." In those old British books I used to read, it was also rude to talk about class, but that, as I saw it, was because if people acted as was appropriate to their status, then calling them on it wasn't necessary, so doing so was just "lording it about," especially if you were privileged enough to have a higher status.
Now.... now, something. I have noticed pissing off a number of people, not by the content of the facts or opinions, but by the Perception (real or imagined) that I was not giving them their propers. Maybe it's Rude to remind people of their status, or to claim a different status, or any status. But the results of not recognizing a status conflict have frequently been much ruder and more destructive.
Other examples: The person who dissed my offer of peer status, and unfriended me because I hadn't been studying this subject for 20 years like she has (no evidence of having actually done), or was it because I was the tricksy kind who wormed my way into someone else's confidence for personal gain, like she would never do (except that one time when she totally did and was on tv for it)? I didn't offer disrespect, but I definitely got her pissed off that she wasn't respected ENOUGH.
I've also done it. I have totally had people hollering at me lately that I wasn't allowing them their right to "free speech" in a "public space," because quite simply, On MY Facebook page/blog/other media, it is not public, and if you disrespect MY status, or I even think you do, I'll delete your comments, block all your comments, or outright ban you for rolling over on me. I don't have a lot of things I totally control, so you challenge the things I DO totally control, then you have lost all privilege there.
Yes, the use of the word "privilege" is, in all cases in this entry, deliberate.
Let's just stop here and call it a work in progress.
Our Banana Republic - NYTimes.com
"The United States now arguably has a more unequal distribution of wealth than traditional banana republics like Nicaragua, Venezuela and Guyana."
The proportions DO matter, not just whether you stole it fair and square.
It's not like Saturday, and it's not fair. I have another 6-8 hours of work to do by (some vague time) Monday, including unpaid work like reviewing my QA evaluations, mailing /faxing my "I understand the privacy policy," and writing a report for the last quarter in my volunteer position. I've been doing this for a 50-60 hour week already, and I don't feel like I worked hard and well. I feel like I didn't get paid. I was cross-training, so I got paid for something like 5-1/2 days instead of the 7 it feels like I've worked.
I feel like I'm on the hamster wheel, and the day is beautiful, and I don't WANT to be here.
But I honestly don't know what else to do.
It's all about me: Why e-mails are so easily misunderstood / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com
Also, in another source (I culled these links from "Cracked," BION): "One study at UCLA indicated that up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. Another study indicated that the impact of a performance was determined 7 percent by the words used, 38 percent by voice quality, and 55 percent by the nonverbal communication."
I think I'm going to stop reading and responding to comments, because they're even more "immediate" and misunderstood than email.
