Ryan Gosling has three movies scheduled for release this year — and with the first, Gangster Squad, making its long-delayed arrival in theaters this weekend, we decided not to waste any time giving the impressively prolific (not to mention widely eclectic) leading man his due by taking a fond look back at his ever-growing filmography's critical highlights. And you know what that means, folks: It's time for Total Recall!
We never like to see rotten movies on our Total Recall lists, but this is one case where a non-fresh film's omission would have actually been a shame. Maligned by critics and boyfriends, 2004's The Notebook positioned Gosling for romantic weepie superstardom, placing him opposite the lovely Rachel McAdams in a Nick Cassavetes-directed adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks bestseller about star-crossed lovers whose beautifully filmed affair is torn asunder by her controlling parents (and World War II). It's the kind of stuff that has served as grist for countless Lifetime movies, and not a few scribes rolled their eyes at the swelling music and sweeping cinematography — but for others, The Notebook represented a sensitively assembled, solidly acted paean to a style of filmmaking long out of vogue. Opined an appreciative Rex Reed for the New York Observer, "How rare to see a film that says there is still a value system out there, that being thoughtful and caring is not uncool."
A slickly twisty crime thriller from Primal Fear director Gregory Hoblit, Fracture stars Gosling as a young district attorney who's using his office as a springboard to a promising career in corporate law — and eagerly takes what he thinks is the open-and-shut case of a wealthy engineer (Anthony Hopkins) who confessed to shooting his wife (Embeth Davitz) after discovering she was having an affair with a local police officer (Billy Burke). Of course, things aren't quite what they seem, and the state's forced to let the confessed attempted murderer go free — at which point, the story's gears truly start whirring into motion. "The main interest here is the juxtaposing of Gosling's Method acting with Hopkins's more classical style," observed the Chicago Reader's Jonathan Rosenbaum, calling their interaction "a spectacle even more mesmerizing than the settings."
Gosling followed his breakout turn in The Believer with The Slaughter Rule, a little-seen but critically respected indie starring David Morse as a semi-pro football coach whose friendship with a troubled player (Gosling) forces both men to deal with suppressed emotions — not to mention the whispers of small-town life. Both leads attracted copious critical praise for their work, as did writer/directors Alex and Andrew J. Smith, whose sensitive screenplay and judicious use of small-town setting inspired Netflix's James Rocchi to write, "Montana's wide-open spaces — and the closed hearts of the people who live there — make for a sincere, superbly acted story of loss and need."
Released near Gosling's swoon-tacular, meme-generating matinee idol peak, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's Crazy, Stupid, Love. found him aiming for the mainstream after spending a few years in the indie trenches — albeit in the services of a romantic comedy with enough of a self-aware streak to keep the critics happy. Starring Steve Carell as a milquetoast middle-aged guy who's gutted by the sudden discovery that his wife (Julianne Moore) is cheating on him with a co-worker (Kevin Bacon) — and Gosling, natch, as the suave, impeccably dressed ladies' man who takes Carell under his wing — Crazy hit all the requisite rom-com beats, but tossed some dramatic wrinkles and soulful performances into the mix; the result was, in the words of Empire's Olly Richards, "The kind of film that makes you want to call someone the minute it's over, even if just to tell them to go see this movie."
It may have a perfectly tasteless-sounding plot, but Lars and the Real Girl is actually far more empathetic, wise, and finely shaded than any movie about a man in a relationship with a sex doll has a right to be — and that's largely because few actors could have grounded its largely inscrutable and possibly demented central character as sensitively as Gosling, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his work. Gosling was supported with a solid cast and a tender script that, in the words of the Globe and Mail's Rick Groen, offered "A sweet little fable about how a delusional man-child is helped by the loving ministrations of his family and community, the kind of throwback flick where human nature is seen as inherently good — a notion so quaint that it feels damn near buoyant."
Less than a decade removed from his early career as a children's TV fixture on shows like Young Hercules and the mid-1990s Mickey Mouse Club revival — and just a year after popping up briefly in Remember the Titans — Gosling scored the lead role in Henry Bean's The Believer, a harrowing dramatization of the incredible life story of Jewish Neo-Nazi Daniel Burros. While Gosling's character in the film achieves a somewhat happier ending than the real-life Burros, who shot himself after his heritage was publicly revealed, that doesn't make the rest of The Believer any easier to watch — and neither does it detract from Gosling's searing performance. "It's blunt, controversial and never takes the easy road through its themes and situations," observed Rich Cline of Shadows on the Wall. "It's also profoundly moving."
Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign may not have amounted to much besides a lot of mocking soundbites from pundits, but it did provide the inspiration for Beau Willimon's well-reviewed play Farragut North — which, in turn, inspired George Clooney to adapt its script into the screenplay for The Ides of March, a solidly reviewed 2011 political drama about, as Willimon put it, "the lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it." While it wasn't exactly a blockbuster, Ides outperformed at the box office considering its Beltway subject matter — and it found no shortage of critical accolades for Clooney (who starred, directed, and earned an Oscar nomination for his screenplay), Gosling (who picked up another Golden Globe nomination for his work as a conflicted campaign manager), or the film itself. As Charlie McCollum put it for the San Jose Mercury News, "This is intelligent filmmaking, and a provocative moral fable. It may not be perfect, but it stands as one of the better, most realistic movies about the way we elect our leaders."
Writer/director Derek Cianfrance struggled for years to find funding for Blue Valentine, but his faith was handsomely rewarded when the film's sensitive, non-linear portrayal of a young urban couple's courtship and divorce ended up earning some of the most passionate critical accolades of 2010 — including a Golden Globe nomination for Gosling and an Academy Award nomination for Michelle Williams. Boasting improvised dialogue and appropriately raw performances, Valentine enraptured critics like Mike Scott of the Times-Picayune, who observed, "It's at its root a hard-to-resist character study. That's because the character being studied is you and me and everyone else who has ever fallen in, and out of, love."
Gosling earned an Academy Award nomination for his work in this Sundance favorite, a piercing drama about a middle-school teacher whose worsening drug problem complicates — and serves as an unlikely basis for — his friendship with a student (Shareeka Epps) who's facing her own substance-related struggles. Though it was far from a big hit at the box office, Half Nelson proved definitively that its star could carry more than just handsomely lensed weepies like The Notebook — and it proved an instant favorite for critics like Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press, who wrote, "Although the subject promises more than the film can deliver, there is compensation in Gosling's convincing, unromanticized portrayal of someone seeking escape from longing and loss that neither he nor the movie can really define."
He didn't have much dialogue — or even really a name — but Ryan Gosling's character in Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive came equipped with enough cool to rock a satin scorpion jacket — and enough hard-won knowledge of the L.A. underworld to try and make a difference in the lives of his alluringly sad neighbor (Carey Mulligan) and her recently returned ex-con husband (Oscar Isaac). Sleek, dark, and stylish, Drive doled out a heaping helping of action thrills without sacrificing smarts or character; as Jason Best put it for Movie Talk, "From its opening shots, Refn's movie is as cool and controlled as its protagonist… at once unhurriedly stylish and intensely gripping. You'd like to lean back and admire, but the action keeps pulling you to the edge of your seat."
In case you were wondering, here are Gosling's top 10 movies according RT users' scores:
1. The Notebook — 85%
2. Lars and the Real Girl — 83%
3. Half Nelson — 82%
4. The Believer — 82%
5. The United States of Leland — 81%
6. Crazy, Stupid, Love. — 80%
7. Drive — 78%
8. Blue Valentine — 75%
9. The Ides of March — 73%
10. Fracture — 71%

Finally, here's Mr. Gosling (and a couple other no-name Mouseketeers) letting all the ladies know that he will cry for you:

Nicholas Dawlish
A Life of Service and Adventure
Admiral Sir Nicholas Dawlish is probably best remembered today for leaving retirement in 1914, at the request of his friend and sometime rival Lord Fisher, to assume responsibility for Unconventional Naval Operations.
His imaginative filling of that role, and his death at the age of seventy two on the Zeebrugge Mole, where he fell in a hail of machine-gun fire on St.George's Day 1918, (making him the oldest serving officer to fall in action in either World War), ended an illustrious career in a manner which he would have found wholly appropriate...

Staff were amazing, so much so that we swapped our Lisbon stay for two more nights in Sintra. Restaurant outstanding. The view from our room was outstanding. Concierge held parking space, gave excellent local advice. Truly a wonderful stay!
Normally, i avoid hotel restaurants. The Boutique hotel's restaurant was superb. Excellent food, lovingly prepared, contemporary menu, and nice wines at several price points. Breakfast - comes with room - also delightful. Fresh bread, eggs, cheeses, nice cold cuts, real espresso and coffee.

Meditation is synonymous to tranquility. It's a procedure which includes focus on a sound, you're breathing, or an article.
The thought of meditation is to focus or center your contemplation on a solitary unwinding thing over a sure length of time of time. Ordinarily, it can keep going for around fifteen to thirty minutes.
Meditation is additionally considered as an aptitude. Along these lines, it is important to hone frequently to accomplish fulfilling and positive results.
Meditation accomplished for more timeframes can offer you some assistance with building some great encounters.
Meditation's definitive objective is to accomplish a consistent condition of the psyche.
As you ace doing your meditation, your brain can accomplish the peacefulness of water in a windless spot. With a still personality amid the meditation prepare, your internal identity will be uncovered.
Once your brain is occupied, do two or three breathing strategies to accomplish tranquility.
You will fall flat the whole process if your psyche considers different things including interior tattle, mental critique, or examination.
Always remember that amid your profound meditation state, you can review some past covered recollections like adolescence misuse or different injuries.
Never be astounded since it is ordinary. As meditation advances, it can transform into a dynamic, pleasurable, and happy experience.
Generally, meditation is done amid venerates including fellowship. This is an occasion wherein God's nourishment is expended. It is fitting to practice meditation customs however much as could reasonably be expected for security and solace.
Every congregation has its own particular festival of fellowship. However the reasons are comparable.
There are different bunches of practices in sharing the body and blood of Christ. A huge number of individuals around the globe are doing it in distinctive ways.
Some simply stay in their seats and get the bread while others go before the haven.
Individuals can meditate wherever they are before getting fellowship. They can venerate at basilicas, little weatherboard temples, homes, or even in penitentiaries.
Sustenance, ordinarily bread and fluid, as a rule grape squeeze or wine are fused after recalling the resolute adoration for God through his child Jesus Christ. It is a promise to share and react to the teachings of God.
Most Christian devotees value and praise fellowship. Truth be told, Christians can get fellowship a great deal of times for the duration of their life. Some are notwithstanding getting fellowship week by week.
Furthermore, every fellowship is noteworthy. In this occasion, Christians are recognizing the grisly give up of Christ on the cross. Furthermore, by sharing the bread in the fellowship implies sharing the unqualified affection for God for humanity.
That is the reason it is acknowledged in extraordinary meditation and regard. You can't get fellowship in the event that you are in the condition of sin. Kids and grown-ups before experiencing their first fellowship take the ceremony of admission in purifying one's self from sins.
In a few religious association, meditation before fellowship is finished by imploring, perusing the sacred texts, or declaring songs for around forty five minutes.
Somebody will lead a thanksgiving petition to God for the bread. Subsequently, the bread is broken into numerous pieces and dispersed.
Generally, most senior citizens are moved into tears in view of the Lord's penance for humanity.
Fellowship meditation is a workmanship and those who know how to properly meditate are usually the leaders in their fellowship center, an image, and a story that is all the more effective contrasted with ideas and words for changing individuals.
God's message of adoration was proliferated by Jesus to each religious individuals through a gave and profound meditation.
There are various meditation products available in the marketplace that can help you meditate properly. One of the best I highly recommend is The Ayurveda Experience. You can read the full The Ayurveda Experience review.

Hello! :) So, I was listening to "Sophia" by Nerina Pallot, and the song inspired me so much that I had to sit down to write this. I spent a half hour on this, so I hope it's not too shoddy. Also, I thoroughly recommend that you listen to "Sophia", its one hell of a song to listen to. Thanks for reading, and I hope you like it.
~ Love, Noelle
There are some things people do not talk about, do not choose to see. You can see their inquisitive faces, prying eyes brimming with curiosity. What's going on; they want to know; why are you still here? You can almost hear their thoughts; hear the echoes of their thoughts in the waves and in the wind.
People are getting tired of me, I know. It's obvious. Their faces, every time I come out on the balcony. Their hushed whispers, every time I float by in my white sundress. In spring and summer, I wear that white sundress. Kyle always says I looked nice in it.
In autumn, and when the weather gets a little chilly, I slip on a small lavender cardigan. It smells of lavender flowers, and if I reach into my right cardigan pocket with my icy-cold fingers, I can feel two dried flowers, old and crinkly, just like pieces of scrap paper.
In winter, it gets way too cold for me to stay out. So I retreat back to the room facing the sea, and pull on that big winter coat. And sometimes, I press my nose against the collar and inhale deeply. Breathe in, breathe out. I can smell him – that musty, old smell of lemon aftershave. It gets fainter by the day, and I can feel him slipping away from me.
It's Monday today. At least, I think it is, because that's what it says when I turn on the television and flip to the news channel. The house smells of freshly-brewed coffee, cornflakes, milk, bananas and raspberries. Kyle loves raspberries. I don't, not quite, but it's an acquired taste.
It's Monday today. The radio plays in the kitchen, and 'Rainy Days & Mondays' by The Carpenters come on. I turn it off. It's not a rainy day today, and Mondays never ever get me down.
I'm waltzing around the house, in my light-blue bathrobe; my honey-coloured hair piled up in a messy bun – just the way Kyle likes it.
You look beautiful today, honey, he says from the living room. He's watching the news channel, the volume turned down low so that he wouldn't disturb me much.
"How would you know," I reply, teasingly, from the kitchen, "You haven't seen me yet since you got up. And I've been in the kitchen since seven."
Oh, I know you are, he insists. I can almost hear that smile of his in his voice. I married you, didn't I?
"Now really?" I say; my smile now a wide grin. I come out of the kitchen, a pot of coffee in one hand, a tray of food in the other. "So if I were ugly, you wouldn't have married me at all?"
I know this conversation by heart. We have it every morning. I set the table, my back carefully facing him, and count.
Nonsense; Kyle murmurs, slipping his arms around my waist, and pressing his lips against the back of my neck. His lips are like ice.
I would have married you all the same, he says, because you're beautiful in and out. And even if you weren't beautiful out, you'd still be beautiful in, and that's all that matters.
I feel my insides grow warm and tingly, just like the first time we met in college, just like every other time I laid my eyes on him. I close my eyes, and inhale his fresh lemon aftershave, a smell that is purely Kyle. It seems strong and overwhelming, and I know that he's not going anywhere.
"Come, sit," I say, moving away from his embrace and planting myself next to the coffee pot. "Let's eat."
Kyle lays his rough hand on my head. Not today, love, he says, I've got to get to sea early.
"Alright then, have fun." I respond, and turn to face the TV.
He takes a scone from the table, and a handful of raspberries. I hear him moving behind me – pulling on sailors' cap and adjusting his shirt neatly in front of the mirror. His movements are swift, smooth; like sinister shadows slithering in the dark.
Finally, he is done, and I know he is, because he swoops down and presses a cool kiss to my cheek. "I'm off then. Wait for me, Sophia."
My insides melt all over again. I simply adore the way he says my name, the way he calls me so-fy-ia instead of so-fea, the way other people do. I turn around to say good-bye and to blow a kiss at him, but when the apartment door's already swinging shut.
He's gone.
I sigh and shake my head fondly. Kyle is always rushing off to work, always eager to be the best sailor and earn more money to make me happy.
He says that someday, he'll buy that old, dilapidated lighthouse on the cliff a couple of miles from here. And the two of us, and our kids, will rebuild that lighthouse and make it good as new. And Kyle, he'll be the captain of the ship, and I'll be there to guide him home every night.
I spend the rest of the morning cleaning the house and playing my piano. I'm just in the middle of 'The Swan', when the doorbell rings. I go to the door and open it.
It's my mother.
"Hey, Mom," I greet, and hug her tightly.
"Sophia." She says, softly. I find her voice odd. Mom is never soft-spoken. She has always been a hard, tough nut to crack. I'm her only daughter, but she treats me like a business client sometimes. "I brought Sheppard's pie today."
"That's great, Mom."
I guide her to the coffee table. She opens up her box of food and I go into the kitchen to get some plates.
"How are you doing today, Sophia?" She calls, from the living room.
Goodness, she's even asking how I'm doing. This is strange, really strange. Mom is never this caring.
"Good," I answer, carefully. I walk out of the kitchen, and place the plates, forks and spoons on the table. "Very good."
"What have you been doing all day?"
"Oh, the usual." I smile slightly, and sit down. "Sweeping and dusting the house, doing the laundry, playing the piano."
"I see," She says, and starts ladling out the Sheppard's pie onto my plate.
"Oh, go easy on the pie, Mom," I say. "I had too much breakfast, and I'm still a little full."
"Oh? And why is that?"
The worry in her voice stops me. I glance up from the food, and look into her clear blue eyes. There are furrow lines etched in her forehead, and silvery wisps in her hair. She's been worrying too much.
"Because Kyle left for sea early this morning."
Mom flinches. An almost invisible movement, but I catch it anyway. Her pupils dilate, and she looks away from me, staring out towards the balcony instead.
She sets her spoon down, and stands, her arms crossed tightly against her chest.
She completely ignores me. Worried, I reach out to touch her, but she moves away from me.
"Mom." I say, and go to her, "What's going on?"
She turns to stare at me, and I almost keel over at the sight of the haunted look in her eyes. "Sophia, I…" She trails off.
"What?" I ask, persistently, grabbing gently at her arm. "What is it? You can tell me anything, Mom. I can handle it."
She stares at me. "Sophia. I have told you five-hundred-and-eighty-seven times before, and I'm telling you once again."
I nod. "Yes? What is it?"
"Kyle's dead. He's been dead five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days ago. You've been waiting for him for five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days. You've been pretending he's alive for five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days. It's time to stop, Sophia. Stop waiting, and stop pretending. Kyle's dead."
Kyle. Dead. Me. Waiting. Me. Pretending. Five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days. Kyle. Dead. Dead. Dead. The words keep spinning around my head, like a merry-go-round. Dead. Dead. Dead.
I feel the world around me start to collapse. The piano, the coffee pot, the bathrobe, the television, the leftover plate of raspberries all turn to dust. Gone. Gone. Gone. There's nothing left, but me and this apartment filled with dust. The dust of five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days ago.
I sink down to my knees. "He's dead?" I whisper to myself. "Really, truly dead?"
My mother's arms encircle me. "Really, truly, Sophia."
My mother leaves several minutes later, after I show no sign of getting up. And when she's gone, in the midst of the silence and dust in my apartment, I start to cry. And cry. And cry.
Cry as all the memories start rushing back to me in an instant. All the memories of that last day, where he left and I didn't say goodbye. All the memories of the way the coffee smelt when freshly brewed, the way the clock on the wall chimed a tune when it was seven in the morning, the way the news broadcaster greeted a cheerful "Hello!" that day.
When I'm done crying, and I've dried my tears, something comes to mind. I remember how no one ever found him. He was lost at sea somewhere. He still is.
Wait for me, Sophia.
How could I have been so stupid? Kyle has told me to wait. He's going to come, and I'm sure of it. With that new-found hope in my heart, I stand and walk out to the balcony. I'm waiting for Kyle.
There are some things people do not talk about, do not choose to see. One of them is me.
I see the same people; see their inquisitive faces, prying eyes brimming with curiosity. What's going on; they want to know; why are you still here? You can almost hear their thoughts; hear the echoes of their thoughts in the waves and in the wind.
What's going on? Why am you still here, Sophia?
"I'm waiting for Kyle," I answer the waves and the wind. "I'm waiting for Kyle till he gets home."
That's my girl, Sophia. I hear him say. That's my girl. I knew you'd always wait for me.
I smile. He's somewhere out there, somewhere lost in the massive waves, stormy seas and massive ocean. And until he comes home, I'm not leaving.
"Better not make me wait for too long, Kyle." I murmur, blowing my hair out of my eyes and scanning the horizon for him.
I'll be back soon, and you won't even know I'm gone. It's been five-hundred-and-eighty-seven days…but who's counting?
"I am."
And so it goes, on and on, me and Kyle, talking to each other across oceans and seas.
When it gets dark at night, I turn on the night lamp in my bedroom and go to sleep. I'm slipping in between the rifts of consciousness and slumber, when Kyle comes in.
He's home.
He leans over, and presses his cool lips against my cheek. Sweet dreams, beautiful.
"I knew you'd be back." I murmur, without opening my eyes and finally allow myself to drift off to sleep.
Tomorrow, everything will go back to normal.
Tomorrow, I will wake up at seven to make breakfast, and we'll have cereal, bananas, coffee and raspberries.
Tomorrow, I'll wear my light-blue bathrobe and tie my hair up in a messy bun.
Tomorrow, we'll tease each other with our usual lovely banters – me in the kitchen, him in the living room.
Tomorrow, he'll say I look beautiful. I'll accuse him of marrying me only because I'm beautiful, but he'll say that's nonsense.
Tomorrow, he'll call me beautiful in, and say that that's all that matters.

OMG, noelle!!! It's 2AM and i was about to go to sleep but i couldn't pass up reading this!!! What a wonderful storyyyyy!!! This is soooo perfect for my make me weep contest, only if you had joined!!! :D
I didn't expect it at first but there was something rather odd about it and i started to suspect something wasn't right, esp when the mom came and acted strange.
What a beautiful short story! I hope you write more! You never write short stories, not that i know of.. LOL it made me teary eyed... Now i can go to sleep....
Goodnight, sweetiekins! :)
Ooh Kates! :) Oh, damn, you should've slept! I feel like such a meanie, robbing my lovely Kates from her sleep! :P
Haha, I would be too afraid to join contests, you know me, Kates. Plus, there's so many other amazing entries for your contest!
Mm, yes, it was weird. Yeah, I know! This is my first, and I'm so glad it turned out okay-ish. And I'm glad you like it.
Teary-eyed?! Dry your tears Kates, it's a fictional story! :)
Love you too.
Found it!:)
Oh my God. Noelle, your writing is honestly amazing in this! You seriously write like a real author!
When Kyle's speech was in italics, I did begin to wonder whether she was imagining someone being there...
Turns out I was right, but she was imagining her late husband :( And yet, she'll continue to wait for him:(
Why's this so sad?:(
Sometimes the saddest of stories are the ones that you'll remember the longest, right?
Loved this, Noelle
Yay! :) Ohhh no, it's not! :) Haha, yes, I'm glad the Italics did their work there, I was half afraid they wouldn't. Mmhmm, she was, she's already not mentally stable! Yes, it is kind of sad, I suppose, and I guess that's what makes it different from my normal writing. :) Aww, thank you so much, Stel! You're really so sweet.
There we go, I can see it now :D
Wow Noelle, that was just literally breathtaking. You really show her train of thought perfectly. You show how she comes to the realisation and then how she manages to convince herself that he will actually come home. It's a nice story, sad, but still nice. Bout time you had a short story up here ;p
P.S. Did you get my update for Behind the Scenes?
Anyway, I knew straight away this would be an amazing story. It was perfect the whole way through!
Well done Noelle.
Ahh, yes, sorry about that. :P Yes, it is rather sad, I suppose. I was in a reflective, sentimental mood that day, haha. :D Ohh yes, but I was sooo nervous to post it!
Thank you so so much, Alana. I'm glad you liked it, even though it wasn't that good.
Yes, I did! Sorry for the delay though.
OMG!!! Noelle this was simply beautiful!!! I have tears in my eyes..and the funny thing is that I'm still smiling..loved it!!!!
ohmigod...noelle...THIS IS BRILLIANT!! I LOVE IT!! don't worry, i saw your story on katie cruz's page..anyways, ona more serious note, it is so beautiful..really..truly..its a deeply moving...thanks for writing such a brilliant and touching story....you know, this story needs to be published..coz its that good...:)

That was so beautiful. heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. I can't wait to read more of your work
This is beautiful Noelle!! truly inspired!!
love ya!! xxx
Omg Noelle, You never cease to amaze me! This is so beautifully written. Haha one of these days When you're rich and famous, I'm gonna get your autograph!
Awww Noelle. This was so beautiful and heartbreaking. Sophia is so much of a different character to your other ones, and it's so lovely to see you writing like this. It flowed perfectly and honestly my heart broke when I found out Kyle died :( I didn't expect it at all when I first started reading, but as soon as her mom came in, something nagged and then I was like NOOOOOOO!!! I bet the difference between each of my expressions as I read all the way through was drastic :P But your writing is just flawless :P
Anyways, I absolutely loved it, and you need to write more gorgeous short stories for me to read! If you wrote this in a half hour, holy crackpot, I bet the stuff you spend longer on would just be even more mindblowing :P You muustttt tell me when you write more, bean! I need to get caught up on BBB, too! :O xoxo
River!!! :) I honestly didn't expect you to read it, but you have no idea how happy I am that you did! :)
Ahh, yes, I thought I'd try something different this time - I was in a different mood and I figured, what the hell, everyone would get bored of my typical characters anyway. :P
Thank you so much lovely! Ahh, yes, half an hour, but it wasn't good...I just didn't have enough time to spend on this.
Will do! And thank you, Riv! xoxo
Noelle. This was just so amazing!! Goodness, I can't even begin to think of a comment that could even touch how absolutely beautiful this was. Seriously, it was so sad. The concept is very unique and quite different from anything I've seen on here before, props to you:) I really just wanted to cry throughout the entire thing. It was so depressing, but again, beautifully written.
Gosssssh, Noelle, this was beautiful! Your writing is soooo amazing, so, so amazing! I'm literally blown away by the way you put words together so perfectly... it's an amazing talent that sooo many people would loooove to have (myself included!) Just STUNNING.
I loved the idea- and you're right, the song is beautiful. I actually listened to it whilst reading this, and the two went together perfectly :)
So heartbreakingly beautiful, so amazing... you've made me somewhat speechless! Thank you so much for asking me to read- I've missed you, by the way! How have you been?
Muuuuch love, and keep on being amazing! Maddie xoxo
Aww, thank you Maddie! :) No way, there are definitely so so so much more talented people than me. I'm glad you like it, though, it really means so much.
Ooh, I know! I am utterly in love with that song.
Aww, I've missed you tons tons tons too. I've been good. Thank you so much lovely!
This is so weird. Not your story... :L
I was in music first period, and my teacher was going on about THIS SONG.
But I'll read it! At some point, I'm swamped at the moment, sorry!!
OH. MY. GOD! this is like one of the best stories i have ever read, like it actually made me want to cry and my heart clench. It was mind-blowing, heart-clenching, unbelievably amazing, just overall more astounding than words could describe. I AM BEYOND HAPPY THAT YOU TOLD ME TO READ THIS! i literally am just stunned because i loved it that much!
In your life, please do me one favor though; never stop writing. You're writing is so inspirational and amazing that it makes it seem so realistic and just the things people need to make their days. So before i write like a whole page, i better stop, but seriously THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this and please let me know whenever you write again!
-Georgia, xoxo
Seriously? Wow, thank you so much, this is seriously such a sweet comment. Aww, thank you, I will never stop writing, because writing's my passion. Although, I must admit, I will never make it my career. :P I will, Georgia, and thank you so much, your comment just left me speechless. :)
great story. I was sad that he had to be lost at sea and she's waiting for him to come home.
i can only say 'wow...' ... this is so different but so good!!!! i'm feeling sad for her!! :( :(
anyway keep up this good work and update me with anything you had posted.. :D :D thanks... :)
You really are an amazing writer. All the lost romance, heartbreak, & feeling in this was beautiful!
As you can see, I loved this! (:
Oh my God this was beautiful, I was in tears at the end! I loved it so much! Please KMU for all your other stuff :) xoxo
I can't say anything at the moment. *crickets make noise* Omg, I'm just so--taken away with your writing. *crickets* I'm sorry for this crappy comment, but I'll come back when I gather my thoughts after evil you let me read a bomb and even include a singing bomb and put them all in my head. :/ =)) See you! :* ?

DevOps Summit Early Bird Savings here!
With its heavy focus on automation and increased production speeds, the emerging DevOps paradigm draws very real parallels to the industrial revolution, only in the new modern era of tech production.
In his session at 2nd DevOps Summit, Rajat Bhargava, co-founder and CEO of JumpCloud Inc., will aim to first define the transformative DevOps movement from the unique, dual vantage points that he's grown to know very well over the course of his career - as a tech CEO and an investor of tech companies.
The presentation will also outline the most common manual tasks that are ripe for automation, and subsequent best practices for streamlining the DevOps lifecycle through automated provisioning, configuration, monitoring and management. Despite reports from leading experts like Gene Kim that prove that DevOps teams are more Agile and reliable, with 30 times more frequent deployments and 8,000 times faster cycle times, many in the industry remain skeptical about the power of automating basic IT processes to drive real business results. This presentation will clarify the benefits of DevOps from both a technical and business perspective, and advance the movement by sharing proven best practices built upon years of experience.
Explore DevOps Summit Sponsorship & Exhibit Opportunities !
Speaker Bio:
Rajat Bhargava currently serves as co-founder and CEO of JumpCloud Inc., a provider of server management and security tools for DevOps and IT professionals. An MIT graduate with two decades of experience in industries including cloud, security, networking and IT, Mr. Bhargava is an eight-time entrepreneur with five exits including two IPOs, three trade sales and three companies still private.

All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at19th Cloud Expo, Valentin (Val) Bercovici, CTO of SolidFire, will discuss how to leverage this concept to seize on the creativity and business agility t...

DevOps is speeding towards the IT world like a freight train and the hype around it is deafening. There is no reason to be afraid of this change as it is the natural reaction to the agile movement that revolutionized development just a few years ago. By definition, DevOps is the natural alignment of IT performance to business profitability. The relevance of this has yet to be quantified but it has been suggested that the route to the CEO's chair will come from the IT leaders that successfully make the transition to a DevOps model. If this still seems foreign to you, I recommend reading up on D...

As software becomes more and more complex, we, as software developers, have been splitting up our code into smaller and smaller components. This is also true for the environment in which we run our code: going from bare metal, to VMs to the modern-day Cloud Native world of containers, schedulers and microservices. While we have figured out how to run containerized applications in the cloud using schedulers, we've yet to come up with a good solution to bridge the gap between getting your containers from your laptop to the cloud. How do we build software for containers? How do we ship contai...

DevOps theory promotes a culture of continuous improvement built on collaboration, empowerment, systems thinking, and feedback loops. But how do you collaborate effectively across the traditional silos? How can you make decisions without system-wide visibility? How can you see the whole system when it is spread across teams and locations? How do you close feedback loops across teams and activities delivering complex multi-tier, cloud, container, serverless, and/or API-based services?

When people aren't talking about VMs and containers, they're talking about serverless architecture. Serverless is about no maintenance. It means you are not worried about low-level infrastructural and operational details. An event-driven serverless platform is a great use case for IoT.

Julia Gillard could be marooned in the former Russian imperial capital St Petersburg a week before the election - or risk Australia delivering an embarrassing snub to world leaders.
The Prime Minister's dilemma surrounds her invitation to the G20 summit, to be hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 5 and 6, about 15,000 kilometres away from the campaign trail in Australia.

Poll date surprise
PM Julia Gillard has stunned politics watchers by throwing away any element of surprise in this year's election date. Will the move help her, or haunt her?
Her presence will be keenly expected after Australia lobbied successfully to take over the chair of the group in 2014 and will host the next summit in Brisbane.
But her decision to hold the election a week after this year's summit has cast doubt on her attendance, and the chance to brief leaders on Australia's plans ahead of the Brisbane meeting.
Labor has set aside more than $350 million to host the Brisbane summit, with a handover of the chair expected in St Petersburg.
Ms Gillard faced a similar dilemma after she toppled Kevin Rudd from the Labor leadership in 2010, deciding not to attend a G20 meeting in Canada in the days afterwards. Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan was sent in her place. Observers say a stand-in at a leaders' meeting can never expect to carry the same influence as a national leader.
A spokesman for Ms Gillard said it was too early to say if the PM would go to St Petersburg.
Ms Gillard is likely to miss the Pacific Island Forum, proposed for the first week of September.

text: medical marijuana Tackling State-Federal Conflicts Over Medical Marijuana By Kristin Gourlay • Mar 11, 2015 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service In the past few weeks, two medical marijuana patients in Rhode Island have faced legal problems arising from their use of the substance. The cases hinge on a conflict between federal and state laws. Now, new federal legislation seeks to address the problem. Lawmakers Try Again To Legalize Marijuana By Kristin Gourlay • Mar 6, 2015 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Rhode Island lawmakers have once again introduced legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Proponents want to tax and regulate the drug like alcohol. Lawmakers have been trying to pass marijuana legalization laws for years. This time they can point to the experiences of several other states that have already passed such laws. The Senate bill would make it legal for anyone 21 and older to have up to an ounce of pot, or grow a couple of plants at home. It would also allow retailers to sell marijuana, as long as they include a safety warning. Rhode Island's First 'Vapor Lounge' Opens In Providence By John Bender • Jan 20, 2015 John Bender / RIPR The state's first medical marijuana vapor lounge opened this weekend in Providence, but the legality of the lounge remains murky. Elevated Vapor Lounge, located in downtown Providence opened Saturday. Rhode Island medical marijuana patients can utilize the space to vaporize their doctor prescribed product. And since state law bans smoking indoors, vaporizing is only thing allowed. Medical marijuana has been legal in the state since 2006. Federal law continues to ban its sale. URI Student Sues Over Medical Marijuana Discrimination By Kristin Gourlay • Nov 12, 2014 A University of Rhode Island student has sued a Rhode Island textile company for denying her an internship. The suit claims discrimination based on the student's status as a medical marijuana cardholder. Rhody Votes '14: Attorney General Candidate Dawson Hodgson By Catherine Welch • Oct 1, 2014 Catherine Welch / RIPR Republican State Senator Dawson Hodgson is challenging incumbent Attorney general Peter Kilmartin. As part of our election coverage, Rhody Votes '14, Rhode Island Public Radio's Catherine Welch sat down with Hodgson to talk about open records, strengthening gun laws and legalizing marijuana. Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? Please email us, we'd like to hear from you. firstname.lastname@example.com House Committee Considers Bills to Legalize Pot, Expand Medical Marijuana By Kristin Gourlay • Apr 16, 2014 State lawmakers are scheduled to consider several marijuana-related bills this evening. At issue is expanding access to medical marijuana and, once again, legalizing the drug for anyone over the age of 21. Seven marijuana-related bills are before the House Committee on Judiciary. One would legalize marijuana for all adults, regulating it like alcohol and taxing sales. That's been proposed before and failed, but other states have since legalized it. Chafee: `Pot for Potholes'' ? By Scott MacKay • Feb 25, 2014 Gov. For-Profit Medical Marijuana Consultancy Applies for License By Kristin Gourlay • Oct 4, 2013 Rhode Island authorities are considering a new application for permission to open a medical marijuana consultancy. B & B Consulting bills itself as a first-of-its-kind medical marijuana "evaluation center." First Medical Marijuana Festival in RI Held in Providence By Flo Jonic • Jul 1, 2013 Flo Jonic / RIPR Rhode Island saw its first medical marijuana festival Sunday. It was held in Providence in a parking lot on Kinsley Avenue. About two dozen vendors sold marijuana paraphernalia and growing equipment. It was sponsored by the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition, a group that fought to legalize medical marijuana in the state. Visiting the festival was Peter Benson of North Kingstown. Paralyzed in a bicycle accident, he takes marijuana to ease the pain of muscle spasms. Majority Support Medical Pot in New NEJM Poll By Kristin Gourlay • May 29, 2013 To recommend, or not to recommend, medicinal marijuana? That's the question recently posed in a New England Journal of Medicine interactive online poll. To get a feel for physicians' opinions, NEJM presented readers with a fictional clinical situation. Here's the scenario: Medical Marijuana Stores: More Spa, Less Pharmacy By Kristin Gourlay • May 29, 2013 Kristin Gourlay / RIPR In April, Rhode Island's first medical marijuana dispensary – the Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center - opened for business in Providence. This weekend, the second is scheduled to open in Portsmouth. We visited the Greenleaf compassion center as workers rushed to finish the stylish interior. The marijuana might be medical, but the retail space is anything but. Senate Judiciary to Hear Medical Marijuana Bill Changes By Kristin Gourlay • Apr 11, 2013 Kristin Gourlay / RIPR The senate judiciary committee is scheduled to hear a bill today that tightens the state's medical marijuana program rules. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin proposed the changes that revise the amount of marijuana a patient can possess and grow. State's First Pot Dispensary to Open in Two Weeks By Flo Jonic • Apr 5, 2013 Rhode Island's first medical marijuana dispensary is set to open two weeks from today. The state health department has approved the permit for the Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center. The facility plans to grow its own marijuana but the first batch of medicine will be purchased from growers who participate in the state's medical marijuana program. That's because Slater wasn't allowed to have any marijuana on hand while it awaited its final permits. Two other dispensaries – in Warwick and Portsmouth – are awaiting state approval. First Medical Marijuana Compassion Center Certified By Kristin Gourlay • Apr 4, 2013 The Rhode Island Department of Health has issued the state's first certificate to operate to a medical marijuana retail store. The Thomas C. Slater compassion center must tell the department when it expects to begin selling marijuana to patients who qualify. But today's announcement means the center can officially open for business. Thousands of patients with qualifying medical conditions have registered to be able to buy the drug. They don't need a prescription but do need a doctor to certify they're eligible. Tuesday, February 19, 2013 By Lydia Rogers • Feb 19, 2013 RI's former Attorney General is in Brazil helping law enforcement looking into a deadly nightclub fire. RI and MA are working out how to best regulate centers which dispense medical marijuana. These stories and more on the RIPR Morning News Podcast. Also a special interview by Ian Donnis with US Attorney Peter Neronha. Do you have insight or expertise on this topic?

Mrs. Raymond Brown took over after Harriett May Mills as president of New York's state suffrage organization. A rare recording of Mrs. Brown speaking is a valuable look at the period, as well as a reference in one of Grandmother Edna Kearns' newspaper columns that she wasn't all that pleased with Mrs. Brown being selected as state president. Despite her personal opinion, Kearns and Brown worked closely together on suffrage organizing of Long Island. Photo: Library of Congress.

Disney drops bid to trademark "Dia de los Muertos"
An attempt by the Walt Disney Co. to trademark "Día de los Muertos" drew such a loud protest that the company has dropped its plans to trademark the name, The Los Angeles Times reports.
The company had filed an application with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office for "Día de los Muertos," including applications pretaining to toys, cereals and jewelry, the newspaper says. That was in anticipation of a movie that Disney-Pixar is developing that features the popular Mexican holiday, a Disney spokesman said. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

In Tandem's 'Chesapeake' a shaggy-dog tale of culture wars
Much as we'd like to believe that the hoary days of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond's all-out war on the National Endowment for the Arts are behind us, President Barack Obama's crassly utilitarian dis of art historians suggests our leaders still don't understand why the arts are valuable.
Repeated cuts to arts subsidies make Lee Blessing's "Chesapeake" — an alternately witty and overly clever one-actor play recalling the inflammatory culture wars from the 1980s and 1990s — as topical today as it was when it debuted in 1999. Featuring Matt Daniels and directed by Chris Flieller, an In Tandem Theatre production of "Chesapeake" opened over the weekend. »Read Full Article

As the decade of 00's comes to a close, Arizona fans will probably remember for three main things. Losing Bobbi Olson, the 2001 Championship game run, and the Lute Olson saga.
The second part of the decade, especially the past two years, were turbulent to say the least.
There were ups and downs. The streak has stretched to 25 and the Cats took two trips to the Final Four.
All of that included Arizona had 13 players drafted by NBA teams and all 13 played, some more than others.
Let's take a look back on the best players of the past ten years by position.

Review Details
Citizen Messenger Bag
- Product Review (submitted on April 30, 2013):
I bought this bag as a broke-ass student who was on the verge of buying his first laptop. I needed something that looked and felt awesome and that could protect a laptop from the elements while riding a bike. Well, shortly after getting it I had a chance to test it. A tornado was passing about 20 miles to the East of where I was living and it was CHUCKING rain. So I threw some papers into my bag and hopped on the bike, riding around the block a few times. On getting back to my apartment, I discovered that NOT A DROP OF RAIN had made it onto my papers.
Built tough enough to keep out torrential rains, this bag has lasted me six years now and it's barely showing any wear. If you're broke and looking for a bag that you will never need to replace, this is it. My only regret is that I didn't buy the next size up! Putting an iBook G4 14" laptop and a couple of notebooks in this thing, I found it to be pretty much packed, though the pen slots, side pockets, and zip pocket were great for storing incidentals. The only way I could think of improving this bag would be to add a removable separator to the main pocket. Outside of that, nothing else is needed IMO.
Oh wait, there is one more thing. Add black with an orange stripe to the color options! DO WANT!
