I'm still rather new to the whole D and D experience, but was wondering if any of you had some suggestions for a player such as myself. I remember my DM talking earlier about how he hated it when players would look up monsters in the book as they were fighting, checking their hp or correcting the DM as they went. In my first game or two, I wouldn't have understood that as a bad thing (though I get how that would be endlessly annoying now). Anyway, could you offer up some common sense so I don't cross any lines?

Well I believe he wouldnt want you to check the MM because thats metagame thinking. Your characters wouldnt know anything about the monster and probably wouldnt even know its name.
One important note for a new player: not every enemy has to be killed. Diplomacy is an option at times.
If your character has a low intelligence dont have him think up elaborate plans or similar things.
Have fun and play.

If you want to learn info about monsters, take a knowledge skill. Each one is keyed to a different type of monster (i.e. knowledge religion is used to obtain info about undead). To learn info about a monster, you make a knowledge check DC 10+the monster's HD. If you make the check you get one piece of information, and for every 5 points above that, you get an additional piece of information.
I'm not sure what type of game you're in. If you're in a hack n' slash, low story game, the DM might be okay with you looking up monsters in battle, but even in that type of play, it's generally frowned upon. It's like looking ahead to the end of a book, or worse, if the DM was using a published adventure, reading it before playing it. You ruin the surprise and a lot of the fun.
Personally, I prefer a more story-centric campaign as opposed to hack n' slash, and if that's the game you're playing in, then don't look at things like that. Don't look at the monsters and characters and NPCs as a bundle of numbers and feat and spell names. Look at their personalities and histories. Don't look at the ogre and see "CR 3 large giant"; see an eight foot tall lumbering creature with a 40 lbs. club attacking you. Then the MM doesn't matter so much. I try to look at the game that way and like it, but if it doesn't work for you, don't sweat it. But, don't look through the MM in play, either.
Oh, I'd have fun with a player like you. Look through the monster manual and correct the DM???? Excuse me??? You have no frigging clue that I'm even using creatures from ANY monster manual.
Best advice? Enjoy the magical wonder that is generated by the journey of your imagination through the wonderful fantasy world and tale your DM is spinning for you. Forget about hit points, armor classes, challenge ratings...all that stuff is just b#!***$%...enjoy the game for what it is, not for some courtroom exercise in trying to get a one-up on the DM by leafing through the Monster Manual during play.

One do not allow players to look through as you actually fight the thing, two tell your DM to mix it up and augment or change the monsters as they are.
I do this a lot because most of my players have lots of knowledge about the monsters. (many have DMed themeselves and the others has seen their stats from campaigns where I allowed monster races for play). Sometimes it comes back to bite them, literally. For example the PC's were trapped in a room filled with water and a Sea cat bursts into the room and attacks. One of the players said that the cat was only a CR 4 and they should worry about getting out before they drown and ignore the Cat. What they did not know is the cat was advanced by three or four hit dice with giant stat boosts to str and con. So as the party slips through a hole in the floor one by one the cat nearly kills the cleric as they escape. (actually had the cleric been anything other than a radiant servant, or had used some of his healing spells for the day he would have been toast)

Besides the fact that the DM can and (speaking for myself) DOES often change everything in the MM (I kinda have to because my group have all been playing over 10 years and are all DMs too in their campaigns, so they know most mobs inside out), so "knowing" what the monsters hit dice and ac are for example does nothings as they will almost never be the same when they are actually facing a mob. I must confess that i mostly use the MM for ideas/templates and to show PCs the pictures (often using a completely different one for my modified monster that i think fits...its the only way to keep encounters "fresh"). So i personally don't mind who looks up what during the game with the only real rule being don't slow the game down so much you ruin it for others. But like i said that is a personal choice and i understand how some DMs get irked (especially since most players that haven't DMed don't really understand how much work it CAN entail). My best advise is check with the DM and go by what they are comfortable with.Now as for general etiquette "arguing and/or correcting" the DM are definite no nos for a few reasons:
As said above you CAN'T argue with them because its THEIR game (meaning they could change ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the game...even the so called core rule books are just suggestions as far as i'm concerned...again i KNOW i'll draw flak for this and some will disagree vehemontly...but its just my humble opinion).
Its also very disruptive DURING a game...discussions can always be held outside of games to clearify any points about rules (again must be handled maturely and not turn into a shouting match and a my way or the highway discussion). This is where the DM too needs to be leanient and open minded and open to players convincing him of why they have issue with certain rullings (otherwise if you're TOO firm, you'll soon find no one wants to play in YOUR campaign lol).
Lastly, ALWAYS remember the whole objective of roleplaying is to HAVE FUN! don't take it too personally...don't hog the spotlight (be considerate of others who are there to have fun too) and don't disrupt the game (and others enjoyment of it) for the sake of pettiness or being argumentative. I KNOW how attached players can get to certain PCS (i have been guilty of this myself on MANY occasions), but throwing a tantrum whenever somethig "bad" happens or the DM makes ruling you don't like is just plain childish and anti social and WILL result in the disruption of the game and hampering other peoples enjoyment (and in my groups at least will often result in you not getting invited back to play).
So that's just my two coppers worth...keep in mind that there are no hard and fast rules...its a social setting and depends on the people involved...just remeber the cardinal rule...welcome to the fold...and as the KODT comic says:
"May all your hits be crits".

|Ragnarock Raider
Thanks for the awesome advice everyone! Ragnarock Raider you really had some good points. I appreciate the words of wisdom much, and hopefully other people in the campaign will too. ;) That's the kind of stuff you need to have been on both sides of the DM screen to learn.
By the way, I myself haven't looked in any books to check on something we're fighting, I just used it as an example of something our DM had said about his other campaigns. Just thought I'd clear that up ;)
I am not sure if you will call this flak. You should as a DM stay within the ability scores for races in the back of the MM. This is a physics perspective. Also if you increase the HD enough you should have the creature be larger. Players should know if it is big, it is going to be tough. Aside from that I say go wild. Add character levels, increase HD and keep the players guessing.
As for your play, you are getting off a great start, you are questioning and not satisfied with your play. By doing that you should continue to become a better player and I would not be suprised to see you DM in the future.
1) Remember your DM has to spend a much greater time preparing for DnD than the players do, respect that. Players should not know about monsters except by the knowledge skills and you should not be looking in the DMG during play either.
2) If any rules conditions come up write down your complaint and discuss the issue with the DM at least a day before the next game session. The other players may not have any idea what the dispute is about and become frustrated. You only have a limited amount of time and don't want to waste it. I have had a DM tell me he did not like the spell I used (entangle) he just did not feel comfortable with it. I talked to him later and he let me have a choice of a few world specific spells. We both were happy.
3) Try to set up any house rules ahead of time. Monte Cook listed a ton of these in an issue of Dungeon. If a dice hits the floor or is crooked, is it to be rerolled? Some DMs don't like to use certain books or classes, I have heard the Expanded Psionics Book is one of them. If so then the book is off limits. The best way to know what to do is discuss it with him before hand.
4) Vary your tactics, you should because different opponents require different way to be overcome. If you have one tactic your DM will send something against you to counter it.
Now for a bit of fun! In one of our adventures we came across a mountain stronghold of kobolds. We were spotted approaching and their king appeared on a ledge of a cave opening about 60 feet above us. He looked comical wearing a crown and flowing robe.(He looked like James Brown.) The crown and robe were removed by his attendants. Then he informed us (in a harsh tone) that this was his mountain and we were trespassing. As we turned to leave, he said,"You had better obey me, pathetic humans." and laughed. I took this to be posturing for his minions. Our leader snapped, he yell"Attack!" (at 3rd level and about 5 of us we could take down some kobolds) We fired missile fire at the king but his ledge and protections made our attacks relatively ineffective. Then 10 kobolds came running out a gate. Combat ensured and they hit us with sleep spells and color sprays. I was the only on up when I had my initiative and that was because of being a 1/2 elf. The 3rd or 4th color spray did me in and I was stunned, surrounded and saw two ogres coming towards us. We were captured.
Some years ago while playing 2nd edition or DM had us play ourselves ala the DnD cartoon, crossing a portal to DnD. When we came across a creature the one player asked me what I knew about of opponent. I said I had not seen the creature before. He queried the DM if our characters knew what we knew. The DM said yes. I rattled of HD, AC, damage and vulnerabilities perfectly. The DM was stunned. The problem was I have been the first DM, still ran a campaign and had a really good memory. Turn the page a few years and we are now playing Dark Sun with the DM. We are facing belgoi, a creature that drains constitution with each hit. Everyone is losing constitution, even the half-giant who to this point had seemed unstoppable was being slashed from all sides. We killed a number of them and the others ran off. Later we heard the eerie bell to signal their return. We did not know if they were undead or what. We did not know what would happen if someone reached 0 con, would they become one? We did know when we heard that bell there was cause for fear. My point here is that I remember the name of the belgoi, I don't remember the name of the creature I rattled off. To this day I ask our DM for a return to Dark Sun and another shot at the belgoi and other creatures I know nothing about. In fact my other character would like another shot at that kobold.
By the way, I myself haven't looked in any books to check on something we're fighting, I just used it as an example of something our DM had said about his other campaigns. Just thought I'd clear that up ;)
Sorry I pounced on you like I did. I'd love to have you in our gaming group any day. Keep coming here for advice, even if it's a little crotchety at times!
I'm in total agreement as well with what's been said.
Although I can't FORCE one of my players not to buy a monster manual (hey, who knows, maybe that player wants to DM someday...), I generally ask that the players only use the Players Handbook (or other class/race oriented sourcebook) while in a gaming session.
See, I have players that have been playing for over ten years. Believe me, they all know of the basilisk's petrifying gaze attack. And, as it happened before, they were playing in a new campaign of mine and encountered one. The fighter PC asked me if his character knew about this dreadful attack. I asked every player to roll a Knowledge (nature) check DC12. Well only the ranger succeeded. So I stated that the ranger screamed out "Beware of it's gaze! Stare away!!" at the beginning of the fight. So the players fought the basilisk with their eyes closed, gladly taking the -4 penalty to hit (and the 50% miss chance).
Like it was mentioned above, don't mix player knowledge and character knowledge.
|John Cummings
As a DM myself, I like to suprise the characters with monsters they have not encountered yet. For them to try looking it up in the MM would not only upset me as the DM trying to work hard to have an enjoyable game, but as players, it takes the fun away from the adventure. Thats like saying, everytime a character encounters a monster they have not yet meet, the stats appear above their head. Thats just plane makes no sense!!

Thoughtful. Careful. Precise. These are the words that should define our students as they provide evidence that supports text-dependent questions. Part 2 of our focus on evidence-based questions takes us into the world of informational text. It tends to be easier for students to find evidence to support their answers within informational text. However, where we sometimes fall short, is in the level of difficulty of the questions we are asking our kiddos.
Some of my teacher friends are nervous about the call within the Common Core State Standards for more informational texts in the classroom. Couple informational texts with recommendations to have students read widely and deeply from increasingly challenging texts, and I've got a couple of worried friends!
Sid Fleischman was best known for his novels. His fiction often demonstrates a sense of humor and always provides insight into human nature. Fleischman brought his writing skills to several longer biographies (and a memoir).
In a recent article, Washington Post columnist Jay Matthews points out there's a battle brewing over the use of fiction or nonfiction in the Common Core standards. He calls it the fiction vs. nonfiction smackdown.
Why a smackdown? The literature of both fact and fiction can engage and educate.
Over at Shanahan on Literacy, Dr. Shanahan wrote an interesting post We Zigged When We Should Have Zagged about the lack of comprehension strategies in the Common Core State Standards.
All too often, children hear the word math and they freeze. It just can't have pleasure associated with it nor can it possibly have anything to do real life.
Math really is everywhere but like the narrator in Jon Scieszka's funny and slightly offbeat Math Curse (Viking), fear of it can be a serious affliction. It can even impact how children perceive and school success — and eventually their career choices.
This week my 5th grade daughter came home with math homework that involved finding the surface area and volume of pentagonal prisms. She needed help with it, and it was really hard! It was hard because I hadn't worked problems like those for years, and even when I did, I'm not sure how easily I did it. We got through the homework okay (after a looooooong time and several Google searches) but the experience made me think about ways teachers can help parents help with homework.
I recently read a post about providing opportunities to connect families with their child's education that I really liked. Peggy Ashbrook's post Involving families in early childhood science education from the NSTA Blog provides several ideas and resources for getting parents together with a focus on science. I've listed a few of my favorites here, plus a few others.
There seems to be an explosion of infographics these days! If you're not familiar with that term, an infographic is a visual representation of information or data. A lot of information can be displayed visually, both quickly and clearly (at least most times). As someone who has always been drawn to the visual display of information, I love a well done infographic. And I think they have potential value for the elementary classroom too, although most are designed for older students.
We all love picture books, and hopefully a really good one finds its way into your hands at least once a day. What might happen less frequently is that you use a picture book to help you teach science. I've got a great resource (with a free PDF!) that will hopefully encourage you to use more picture books in science.

Months after the UK's National Union of Mineworkers staged a walkout in 1984, strikers in a small Wales town found some unusual and quite unexpected supporters. "A gaggle of gays and lesbians has come out in support of the miners strike," the newspaper announced. Pride, from director Matthew Warchus and writer Stephen Beresford, tells the story of the unlikely friendships that arose when the culture-clashing sides teamed up. Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, Joseph Gilgun, George MacKay and Ben Schnetzer star in the pic, which CBS Films releases September 19. Here's the trailer:
Hot Trailer: 'Pride'
9 Comments
Wow! Talk about a leftist love-fest: the pink mob and big labor thugs.
Give me 'On The Waterfront' over this political propaganda any day…
Perhaps you can look into Mr. Brando's political leanings.
LOL! In what world are coal miners "big labor"?
I guess that's the same world in which "On the Waterfront" isn't gross political propaganda by a director trying to justify betraying his friends and colleagues to HUAC?
Because they are represented by big labor unions? This movie looks like crap but don't worry, the critics will drool over it and it'll get nominated for best picture before anyone's actually seen it!
See the trailer and you've seen the movie. It's a liberal left wet-dream wish-fulfilment fantasy. The usual suspects will lap it up and then share round the awards, as they always do. Even if nobody goes to see it they will still proclaim victory. You can do that when you spend taxpayers' money.
In the UK at the time they were the biggest of big labor, having brought the country and previous administrations to their knees. What became known as 'The Miners' Strike' was an attempt by a bullying, leftwing union to bring down a democratically elected government, the Conservatives under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
This looks so great. And based on a true story. Brits seem to be the only ones that know how to make feel good historical films. Very "Billy Elliot" and "Kinky Boots" two of my favorites. Can't wait for this movie.
This is what happens when the liberal left gets to run a film industry. They cannot and will not forget millions more people voted for Mrs Thatcher instead of them.
They also made the Iron Lady, you fool

NASA Teacher Workshop
Scientists are collecting data about our planet and ocean at a rate that was never before possible. These data collections allow us to know more about our planet, and its subtle changes over time. The story of our earth observing system is more than just satellites. It includes buoys, gliders, data tags, and more. With this two day workshop, 5th-12th grade teachers will be introduced to Our Instrumented Earth and new and exciting ways to bring data into the classroom.
Workshop activities will be held at the Aquarium of the Pacific and at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena. While at the Aquarium, teachers will be the Aquarium's six foot spherical display called Science On a Sphere®. The sphere will be used to convey earth systems content, data visualizations, false color images, and multiple films. Resources for finding and collecting data with students will also be presented.
Key to the teacher workshop is the Aquarium's partnership with University of California at Irvine (UCI) Center for Hydrologic Modeling and UCI Department of Earth System Science, which will connect teachers to data from the GRACE mission. Using GRACE as a case study of how data is collected, analyzed, and used, teachers will feel more comfortable with the resources available through NASA instruments. Teachers will take on the role of researchers by modeling raw data, noticing anomalies, mapping trends, looking for oscillations and observing earth systems.
Participants will also have an exclusive tour of JPL facilities. This tour may include walking and stairs along the route.
As a follow-up to the October workshop, participants will invite their students and school communities to a NASA Night event at the Aquarium. Through this free event will have the opportunity to view Our Instrumented Earth film, interact with Aquarium educators through guided interpretations on the Science On a Sphere®, and be introduced to scientists, grad students, and PhD candidates working in the field of earth systems science.
Additional Details:
Participants must provide their own transportation to JPL on Saturday October 17, and will need to bring a laptop with Excel software. Current, government-issued photo ID is required for entry to the JPL campus. More information will be provided in pre-workshop email communications.

Krewella "We Are One (Dzeko & Torres Remix)"
Checking in with Krewella at just the right time, as while the trio is out in Ibiza, they co-signed a new remix of their Get Wet single "We Are One" by Dzeko & Torres. I particularly love the build-up to the first chorus and the instrumentation-only bridge to the second verse. It's a perfect upbeat vibe to your beach day or summer night.

In today's modern era, new technology trends and products enter consumer markets practically on a regular basis. But the public's privacy might be at the expense of all the technological innovations. So in the age of Web 2.0, Google Earth maps, human microchip implants and MySpace, what is privacy? Information is ubiquitous, and it's all available at the stroke of a few keys. Are technology and the consumer's thirst for information crossing the line of privacy? Has terrorism infringed upon our civil rights? Or is it all making us safer and more accountable for our actions? With our distinguished panelists, we'll look at how the Web and technology have challenged privacy.
This program was recorded live on November 29, 2007.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > First HKS HarvardX Course Lets Students Advise on National Security Challenges
Imagine you are an aide to President Obama, making a recommendation about what he should do to confront the toughest foreign policy crises on the agenda: whether to launch military strikes against the Syrian regime; how to minimize the damage from NSA surveillance leaks; how to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Making such hard choices has long been the core of the oversubscribed Harvard Kennedy School Course, IGA-211: "Central Challenges of American National Security, Strategy and the Press" that Graham Allison and David Sanger are teaching this fall. Harvard graduate students, playing the roles of senior White House advisers, write and then defend strategy memos on how the U.S. should act in these cases.
Now, for the first time, anyone can audit an online version of this course, called HKS211.1x. In addition, 500 successful applicants will be able to enroll and complete weekly assignments, join discussion groups, and earn a certificate of mastery if they pass. Registering to audit the course is simple; just sign up online, and watch the lectures and sample the readings. Those who want to apply for the certificate version will need to complete a competitive application process, available at 6p.m. EST Sept. 11 through Sept. 23. Classes will begin Oct.1. Both of these options are available for free through edX, the non-profit online education enterprise founded by Harvard and MIT.
Graham Allison, the founding dean of the modern Kennedy School and now director of the school's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, is co-teaching the course with David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times and best-selling author. Allison and Sanger will offer videotaped lectures and will participate in the online discussions.
Few people understand Washington decision-making as well as Allison and Sanger. Allison, who served as assistant secretary of defense in the Clinton Administration, is author of Essence of Decision: "Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis," and has analyzed presidential policy choices over four decades. Sanger is author of two best-selling books, including "Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power." He was part of two New York Timesreporting teams that won Pulitzer Prizes.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Colony Pest Management has launched an overhauled website, www.ColonyPestNYC.com.
Joseph Sheehan, president of Colony Pest Management, said it's older, clunkier website was overdue for an update. "The website was eight years old and was not that easy to navigate," Sheehan said. "We also have added a lot of new services and products that we were not showcasing properly on the old website."
Sheehan said the new site is more crisp, has a better layout, and the company has already received compliments.
"In the past I felt a website, for our industry, did not need to be all that special and the bare minimum would be enough," he said. "I realized I was wrong."

Sunday afternoon was all about Joe Garcia.
Standing before family, friends, supporters and nearly a dozen elected officials at the San Carlos Institute on Key West's Duval Street, U.S. Rep. Garcia was sworn in by Monroe County Judge Peary S. Fowler, as Garcia's daughter, Gabriela, held the Bible.
Garcia beat Republican incumbent David Rivera in the November election after Rivera became embroiled in controversy involving a federal grand jury, ethics violations and a missing FBI witness. Rivera had handily defeated Garcia, a Democrat, in 2010.
Garcia will be sworn in for a second time today at noon at Miami Dade College in Kendall by Bob Graham, former senator and governor of Florida. Garcia represents South Florida's District 26, which includes two counties, western Miami-Dade and Monroe, in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"It means a great deal to me to be here today [at the San Carlos]," he said. "I will work every day for the people of Monroe County."
Garcia told the audience that he found out after being sworn Thursday in Congress that he was assigned to the Natural Resources Committee, which means greater access to important environmental issues facing the county and state, like offshore drilling and water quality. He will also serve on the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, which is responsible for legislation pertaining to immigration reform.
Garcia was raised by his Cuban-exiled parents, Joe, who worked at a car wash after arriving in America, and Carmen, a waitress at a Howard Johnson's who later become a beautician. Garcia mowed grass and worked in construction to pay his way through the University of Miami and eventually earn a law degree.
He spoke about the historical link between Cuba and Key West and vowed to bring the two back together again.
"The two are separated by [less than] 90 miles and long to be reunited and hopefully it will happen in the near future," the freshman congressman told the packed house and drew a standing ovation.
He also talked about the Keys' fragile environment and the need to get Washington politicians on the same page as the county. And, he told the crowd, there will be a Conch Republic flag flying in his congressional office in Washington, D.C.
County Commissioner George Neugent reminded Garcia that there is more of the county beyond Key West and the Seven Mile Bridge.
"We have tremendous environmental issues throughout the 120 miles of the Keys," he said. "We also need to look at waste water and storm water."
Commissioner Heather Carruthers pointed toward rising sea levels, catastrophic insurance costs and the need to mend bridges within the sphere of the Capitol as issues needing his attention.
"We have high expectations for you, Joe," Carruthers said warmly.
Key West Commissioner Tony Yaniz urged Garcia to "sing our song" in Washington D.C.
"It is your song, too," he said. "Your courage is our courage. We've got your back."
Rafael Penalver, president of San Carlos Institute, spoke fervently about the history of the building, which was built by Cuban exiles in 1871. In the 1980s, it was restored to its famous glory.
"It stood for values, values of dignity for man," he said. "With all and for the good of all."
Penalver related the importance of Garcia, a Cuban-American, being elected to the halls of Congress, to what must be done for our country today.
"You are now part of a government by the people and for the people," he told Garcia.
Bobby Mongelli, owner of two restaurants on Stock Island and Geiger Key Marina, said he attended the event because he wanted to show his support for a man he knows can make a difference in Washington, D.C.
"I believe in his policy," he said minutes before Garcia walked onto the stage.
"He took a stand for the Cubans," he said with admiration in his voice. "I think we will see him do some great things during his term."
Phyllis Le Conte, of Bahama Village, brought her 4-year-old grandson, Coi, to the swearing-in. The grandmother said it is important to teach young children about the democratic process at a very young age.
"It is very befitting for him to see him (Garcia) work," Le Conte said. "He helped me hand out his flyers when he was campaigning for office. Now Coi gets to see him."

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger says it is in the interests of Arsenal AND the Football Association to protect Jack Wilshere from burn-out.
The 19-year-old started the season as a promising youngster on the fringes of the Arsenal squad. Six months later he is a frontline Premier League star, a regular in Fabio Capello's England team and on course to make more than 50 appearances for club and country this term.
But that tally will creep up towards 60 if Wilshere, already a shoo-in for England's Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland in June, is selected for the European Under-21 Championships in Denmark the same month.
Wilshere is happy to take on a dual role but Theo Walcott trod a similar path two years ago and spent much of the following season on the treatment table. Wenger is keen to avoid what is commonly known as a 'club versus country' row but, at his pre-match press conference, he noted the dangers that lurk for his latest English gem.
"He looks to be a promising player for the first national team and for Arsenal, so the interest of the FA and Arsenal is to give him the right protection," said Wenger.
"I don't want to make a big problem with that because it's normal he wants to play. That's more positive than negative. It's good they want to play because it's what we all love passionately.
"But after that, basically the youth system is made to promote the players for the top team and once they are in the top team I don't see a basic need to go back.
"Logically, why do you produce a youth system? It is to get them ready to be playing in the first team. Once they play in the first team, your job has been done so you can promote other players. Unless you say we want to go for national pride and ego, so we just play our best players in this tournament, then it is defendable. But that is not basically why the youth teams have been created.
"If I ask you to give me the winners of the World Cup since it has been created, I am sure you will give me them all. If I ask you to give me the winners of the Under-21s tournaments, you will struggle. That means the basic target is to get the players ready to play in the first team, once they play there it is less useful.
"It is in the interests of the FA as well that Wilshere is protected. It is normal that you play many games, but there is a number you have to respect and you must make sure you do not make a mistake with a promising player."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ulster's young hockey guns will aim to Cook up a storm
Seven of Cookstown High's all-conquering school team have been named in the Ulster under-18 training squad for the UK Youth Games next month at the University of South West England.
Coach Paul Cooke won't have four of his Irish Under 18 internationals available, as they are away with Banbridge Academy on a school tour, but still has a strong panel of 22 players who are expected to feature well against their English, Scottish and Welsh counterparts.
Cookstown High, of course, had a great season, winning a handful of trophies, and contribute the bulk of the players including current U18 internationals Alistair Thom, Stephen Sloan, Stuart Smyth and Mark Crooks.
"This will be a major challenge for us as England, Scotland and Wales are bringing strong squads as they begin their preparation for the 2009 European Championships in Vienna," said coach Cooke, who also looks after Instonians in the Ulster Premier League and the Irish under-15's.
"But we will go determined to deliver a strong performance. We will be training throughout August before reducing our training squad to 16 players."
The Games objectives are to select athletes in preparation for the 2012 Olympics and is an important platform for Ulster players aiming for the highest level.
Ulster U18s: Jonathan Ames (Cookstown High), Richard Arneill (Wallace High), David Atkinson (Cookstown High), Daniel Buser (Wallace High), Colin Cleland (Friends), Mark Crooks (Cookstown High), William Edgar (Ballynahinch High), John Edgar (Ballynahinch High), William Hayhurst (RBAI), Stephen Hunter (Wallace High), Ciaran Kelly (Banbridge Academy), Niall Kelly (Banbridge Academy), Peter MacDonnell (Wallace High), Patrick Martin (Sullivan Upper), Ward Phillips (Friends), Peter Purcell (Sullivan Upper), Gareth Sanders (Sullivan Upper), Stephen Sloan (Cookstown High), Ian Sloan (Cookstown High), Stuart Smyth (Cookstown High), Alistair Thom (Cookstown High), Thomas Welshman (RBAI). Coach Paul Cooke: manager: Scott McNeill.

Case Conclusion Date: 02.26.2009
Practice Area: Personal injury
Outcome: $5,000,000 Judgment
Description: This personal injury case, which had been in the Courts for several years, involved numerous allegations of sexual abuse and assault, negligence and gross negligence against both an individual and his company. The details of the damages awarded in this case are too sensitive to list however, it is an understatement to say that the client was severely and permanently, injured, scarred and harmed on physical, psychological, mental and emotional levels. This multi-million dollar judgment stands as a testament to perseverance and commitment to the achievement of justice and compensation for those persons injured by the actions of others in not only this type of case, but also those involving car, truck and motorcycles accidents, as well as all other personal injury matters.

Latest news about aquarium decorations
3D aquarium backgrounds
Our backgrounds are 3D, they are not flat on the back and so there is plenty of room behind the background to install heater and run filter pipes. It's important to install the filter inlet pipe end in front of the background close to the bottom, so all the debris is sucked in. You can run the pipe behind the background and under the gravel/sand, so only the tip of inlet pipe is visible.
The outlet pipe should be located somewhere at the top of the background in the corner. If you install heater behind the background and you have a large aquarium it's good to install additional power head or small internal filter next to the heater, so the warm water is pushed out from behind. This way your aquarium water temperature should be the same in whole aquarium. See pictures how to hide aquarium filter pipes here
We can provide background in couple of sections, each section can be slided separately in the tank and joined inside the tank. The joint will be visible as it is a straight line cut, but you can use plants or other decor to cover it.
Also you may use clear silicone in the gap to make it less visible. To get quote for any size background in sections go to http://backgroundquote.co.uk/3d-background-quote/
This is a very easy to fit 3D background,just make sure that the netting on the sides are fitted correctly,to stop any fish from getting behind the background when installing in your aquarium,As the fish can squeeze past it if you have not fitted it correctly.People who see my aquarium are fascinated by the appearance now the 3D Background is installed,and would definitely recommend these to anyone.
Great looking background. Easy to fit. Prompted my corydoras to start mating Really natural looking Easy to create a professional looking aquarium
Fantastic looks better than the pictures, will invest again for my other tank.
Great product, turns an ordinary aquarium into a special aquarium, very pleasing on the eye and my malawi cichlids love it, cichlid colours pop even more than before, love the grey colour a great compliment to my aquarium rock and substrate. Thank you so much. John.
Really great seller. Friendly, helpful and efficient. Product quality is excellent (although expensive even in as part of a bundle – but that is because I am not working right now) but absolutely worth the cost because of the effect achieved in my aquarium.
quality product,easy set up..perfect for Malawi cichlid community tank.Perfect !!
Looks great in my tank and creates a great place for my fish to hide. It mixes well with my rocks that I already have in the tank so it doesn't look out of place. Very light weight so does not take to much volume of water
The product didn't need washed before use and did not cloud my water.It looks good too! I have only had my tank up and running for 3 weeks, but my plants look healthy and settled and there is no nitrate/nitrite in the water and my fish are happy
Looks really real, and the pleco fish loves attaching itself to the rock!
Aquarium Decoration Tips – Video's
How to install 3d background in aquarium with weirs?
In this video our customer Tazim is showing how he managed to install his 3d rock background inside a large aquarium. The background was supplied in 3 sections, due to having aquarium support braces. Tazim has used aquarium clear silicone to connect the sections and cover the seams with sand.
Another quick 3D background installation in empty aquarium
In this video we will show how easy is to get the 3d aquarium background for your fish tank. In 3 seconds you will get a price on our website. But first you need to measure your aquarium inside, width and height and then go to http://aqua-maniac.com/quote
3D rock background in beige colour
In this aquarium (120x50cm ) we have installed a 3D rock background. All filter pipes and heater have been hidden behind the background. The filter inlet tip has been run through the sand and located in the front of background close to the bottom. The outlet pipe has been located at the top of background in the left corner of tank.
3D Limestone Background designed for marine aquariums
The limestone background is built from modules, easy to fit in any fish tank.
Main features of limestone backgrounds: – easy to install, just slide in – no silicone required – background sinks – no need to drain your tank before installation – hide your filter piper, air tube, heater behind the background – durable material – easy to clean with sponge or brush – ultraviolet resistance – will fit any aquarium size, add as many modules as needed

We're all bird lovers in our house, and this darling craft is a great way to make a new fine-feathered friend. Plus, this crow puppet makes one cool silhouette--perfect for some fun shadow play!
Among our list of supplies, we included a measuring tape. (Around here,
we do our best learning while we're doing our best playin', so we say
yes to honing math skills!)
Maddie measured out a rectangular piece of cardboard 8" long. (8" cardboard is a good length for 2" balls; 6" cardboard will work for 1" balls.)
She cut out her cardboard rectangle, then wrapped yarn around the cardboard lengthwise about 40 times for our large birds (35 times will do for small birds). After going around and around the cardboard, she snipped the end of the yarn.
She then also cut out a much shorter length of yarn (16" total if you're using 2" balls; 12" of yarn if you're using 1" balls).
We used this string to tie the looped yarn together tightly, then took the looped yarn off of the cardboard. Holding the yarn where it was knotted, Maddie cut the opposite (looped) end to make a tassel.
She then tucked a Styrofoam ball into the yarn (where the knot is) and made sure the yarn covered the entire ball. She tied off the other end of the ball with the long piece of string to form the crow's head. Then she made the body by tucking the second ball next to the first, and tied off the other end of the second ball as well. The leftover length forms part of the tail.
Forming the body was a bit tricky! It took a bit of fuss and concentration for little fingers to get the yarn just right around the balls so that the innards weren't showing... finally, it was accomplished! When all was situated, we poked in feathers (easy and fun stuff from here on out)...
...and cut a diamond shape out of scrap felt. To attach the beak, we put the scissors in the middle of the diamond, and pushed the beak into the Styrofoam head. There! Now our crow can caw!
We added eyes, and poked in a stick somewhere in the underside of the body. Ta-da! A cool new puppet to add to our collection!
I loved it! I will try make one with my also bird lover daughter! Thanks for sharing!:-)

As the new year begins, the Apple rumours are back. According to this TheNextWeb report, developers have shared references to the next Apple OS: iOS 7 and it seems the Cupertino-based companyis already testing out some apps on the next version of its mobile OS.
The report states, The sources provided some developer logs, which show, among other things, an IP address from the Cupertino campus for app requests, indicating that the Apple posse is currently testing available apps for compatibility. Aside from these slivers of information from the usage logs, sources have stated that Apple will complete iOS 7?s features in the near future.
iOS 6 was released at Apple's WWDC developer conference in June last year. The developer conference which is held each year is where Apple's releases it's latest software and some upgraded products.
While WWDC might still be a long way off, the next iPad could be out in March according to this Japanese blog. The blog quotes anonymous sources as saying, iPad(5th) may be released in March, 2013. Source told that, design of this new iPad will be like iPad mini in detail, and be thinner and lightweight. (The expectation comes to have a small 4mm in height, 17mm in width, depth 2mm).

About Me
My name is Mikaela and I now reside in the Seattle area. I have found myself to be comfortable with the camera and always wanting more, nearly becoming obsessed with the look. I am a very unique and abstract-minded person. With photo shoots, I want to look above and beyond. Do something someone has never done before; an eye-catcher. I want to feel the mood and take it all in, which has plenty to do with a good photographer. I am not interested in nudity. I want to create art with my body, not sell my body. I ultimately want to have a very professional, yet very creative portfolio.
All I'm trying to get from this site is to get myself out there more. Show the world a glimpse of who I am and see where it takes me. More importantly, I want to experience life on a different level. I want to have a meaning to my life and direction into a whole new world. I crave new experiences and I follow through with any endeavor I pursue in my life. I want to take my life and stretch its' potential as far as it can go, especially in this industry.
*I am currently looking for professional wardrobe/stylists and photographers that have a mindset on making masterpieces. I want to focus more on fashion. I will accept TFP for such projects that include MUA and wardrobe or digital enhanced photos*
*Looking to travel*
I've thought about doing many different kinds of shots but here are a few I would love to do someday:
~ An underwater angel. (white gown with wings)
~ Messy, dramatic hair with a dolled up face, wearing an evening gown sitting on steps, looking lonely and frustrated.
~ A fit, leather, long coat standing in the middle of a rain storm, not effected by the surrounding weather and chaos (maybe have people walking by all blurry with only me in focus).
~ Standing on an old dock in a clean cut suit, wearing a top hat, maybe taking a break from a crazy day.
~ Surrounded in a bed of flowers wearing a sophisticated, innocent, girly dress.
~ Dirt all over my body, wearing a ripped up shirt and jeans, in an industrial area while I'm putting on lipstick and looking into a compact mirror to contradict the situation.
~ Sprawled out on a couch wearing an evening dress while on the phone and looking in a compact mirror.
~Holding a baby doll while carrying a briefcase and wearing a business suit.
~Wearing angel wings with a flowing outfit and a bow and arrow, aiming it towards a couple looking at each other.
~Good conscience/Bad Conscience -Sitting in a corner crying while the other me reaches for my hand with a content look.
~Multi-colored balloons in an empty white room as I dance around with a bright colored dress and bright make-up.
Help me make these photos happen!!
You may contact me through email at: email@example.com

I'm not picky about much. I think most people who know me would say I'm pretty easy to get along with (maybe too easy, at times). But like everyone, I have my idiosyncrasies. Particularly when it comes to hats and shoes.
My wife purchases a lot of my apparel. She's got a good eye and my "style" is pretty ordinary. I have almost no opinion about the clothes I wear. Except when it comes to hats and shoes. Then I get very specific about what I like and what I don't.
Last year for Christmas or my birthday (I can't remember which–the two are only 6 days apart) my wife and girls got me two hats, similar to the ivy cap pictured here. I love caps like that. My favorite is a houndstooth cap in cream and chocolate that I had for years before misplacing it just a couple months ago.
The two caps they gave me are great, but I knew as soon as I put them on that they just weren't going to work for me. I can't even explain why, but they just weren't. That's a sticky situation to be in, am I right? Someone gives you a gift that is thoughtful and you realize that, despite their intentions the gift just won't be utilized. Ah, well. I have a wonderful, gracious family. A few mild alterations made one of the hats work. The other makes a nice decoration for a hat rack.
I have similar hang ups about shoes. Now, please don't confuse my pickiness for taste. I'm quite sure that I'm not up to speed on what shoes (or hats) are "in" this season. But for me, that's immaterial. I know what I like. But why shoes and hats? Why not the rest of my clothes?
I think that it is reflective of a major theme in my life: the interweaving of knowledge and action. The importance of both the head and the feet.
It's not enough to know a lot of stuff or even to know the "right" stuff (as if that is even possible). There's a fancy word for that: orthodoxy. It means "right thinking" or "right knowledge." In some Christian traditions, orthodoxy is the fence around who is "in" and who is "out." For them, faith is predicated upon right belief. Nor is it enough to just "do the right thing." On the other end of the spectrum from orthodoxy is orthopraxy or "right practice." The idea there is that our beliefs are predicated upon what we do. Neither orthodoxy nor orthopraxy alone is sufficient.
I think you have to have some of both. On the one hand, you must know what it is you believe, and have some ability to articulate why you believe the way you do. On the other hand you must show evidence of those beliefs by how you spend your time and your money. I love my hats but am getting pickier about my shoes. What about you? Hats or shoes?

Does that mean that I can kill it separately, thus preserving my precious
main process which may hold important data? (Weird that I should ask Kit for
Windows advice, is it not :-) )
In your "Task Manager" or whatever it is called, does the Do-file editor show up as a separate item or process? It does not do so in Unix (incl Linux, Mac OS X) implementations of Stata, where it is part of the Stata process.
I have no idea whether Windows 7 "Ultimate" is able to do what Unix of any flavor was capable of doing ~25 years ago with the "kill -9 pid" superuser command. One would hope that the Microsoft developers would have caught up by now with the notion of processes that do not generally have the capability to stomp on each other's memory space, or take other processes down when they die or hang. Of course, no software is perfect, which is why we get occasional "kernel panics" in Unix systems, sort of like the infamous "blue screen of death" for Windows. I think I had a kernel panic in 2007 on one of my ~5 Unix systems.

Dennis Lehane's 1994 A Drink Before the War marked a big-time debut, and introduced childhood pals turned Boston private eyes PATRICK KENZIE and ANGELA GENNARO. Patrick and Angie grew up in an Irish/Polish/Italian working-class neighbourhood where "your boundaries begin in the schoolyard and last a lifetime," (according to Margaret Cannon), who summed it all up as "a major debut." They now run their dettive agency out of a church where "all manners of unholiness cross their threshold".
Patrick and Angela are on-again, off-again lovers, who nevertheless seem to work well together, although they often seem to rely on Bubba Rogowski, their arms-dealing old school buddy who I find more interesting than either of them, despite his ridiculous name. (Bubba? Sheesh!) He's described by Patrick in A Drink Before the War as "an absolute anachronism in these times -- he hates everything and everybody except Angie and myself, but unlike others of similar inclination, he doesn't waste any time thinking about it. He doesn't write letters to the editor or hate mail to the president, he doesn't form groups or stage marches or consider his hate as anything other than a completely natural aspect of his world, like breathing or the shot glass. Bubba has all the self-awareness of a carburetor and takes even less notice of anyone else--unless they get in his way. He's six feet four inches, 235 pounds of raw adrenaline and disassociated anger. And he'd shoot anyone who blinked at me the wrong way."
Personally, I wasn't convinced. In the first novel, I found the characters seemed just too much like characters, if you know what I mean, and subsequent novels seem to have wandered all over the stylistic map, nipping into the serial killer genre here, borrowing a little David and Maddy from Moonlighting there (albeit in a suitably hard-boiled way, of course). A lot of violence, and overblown plots full of child abusers, rapists, wife beaters, serial killers and other monsters to seemingly prove Lehane's hard-boiled cred, plus a little soul-searching, and the almost-obligatory-by-now psycho sidekick make these seem like almost a blueprint for nineties hardboiled fiction, albeit on a larger scale than most -- prompting me at one point to unintentionally refer to the fourth book in the series as Long, Baby, Long.
But what do I know? The series has proven extremely popular, with Lehane's reputation growing in stature with each new book. The successful film adaptation of his standalone Mystic River certainly didn't hurt, either. And then actor Ben Affleck, another Boston boy, chose Gone, Baby, Gone as his directorial debut.
It was, by almost any measure, an audacious choice, and resulted in one of the great P.I. films of all tim. In stripping the story down to its bare bones, Affleck succeeded in making me see anew what I had missed on the printed page: the moral burden Kenzie drags with him throughout the series.
Which made me more receptive to Moonlight Mile (2010), Lehane's return, after an eleven year absence (Patrick started knocking on the door again, Lehane explains)), to the Kenzie-Gennaro series, and perhaps significantly, a sequel of sorts to Gone, Baby, Gone. With a new-found appreciation of the characters, I completely bought the premise.
In fact, Moonlight Mile may be one of the most important books in -- and about -- the private eye genre that I've read in years: audacious, uncompromising, mature, provocative and, oh yeah, still delivering some truly kick ass action.

text: Well, two questions: How hard is it to skate in spotlight? I was watching an exhibition, something we're all used to seeing, but I suddenly remembered, "Wait, how does he know if the wall is coming before his triple flip? Isn't it disorienting?" Do you think the skaters just have general "rink sense" in terms of how many strokes 'til the edge of the rink, have practiced their programs so many times that it's not a problem, or intrinsically "feel" the size of the rink? Do skaters really visually cue the boards when they skate? 2. How do spotlight operators keep up? It looks like some exhibitions have 4 or 5 spotlights following a skater at one time. Are there actually 4 or 5 operators at opposing ends of the rink sweating profusely trying to keep focused? Do they have to practice and memorize every program? This sounds pretty intense, especially since there are so many venues in the world and I'm sure the same spotlight operators don't travel. Or nowadays is there some sort of automated motion-tracking system with spotlights?

With a hot initial public offering to its credit, ExOne (XONE) faces the critical task of proving it can meet lofty revenue and earnings growth projections for its 3D printing products.
Shares of ExOne soared 47% on their first day of trading Thursday, to 26.52. The company sold 5.3 million shares at $18 each, raising more than $95 million.
ExOne is the fourth publicly traded maker of 3D printers. The other three — 3D Systems (DDD), Stratasys (SSYS) and Proto Labs (PRLB) — have been hot stocks amid solid growth.
ExOne is the smallest of the four, with a market cap roughly 10% of its largest rival, 3D Systems.
Founded in 2005, the company reported sales of $19 million for the 12 months ended Sept. 30. It has yet to come close to a profit.
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, ExOne had a loss from operations of $10.1 million, up from a loss of $3 million in the year-earlier period, according to its S-1 IPO prospectus.
The company reports so far selling a grand total of just 13 3D printers. But it saw a big acceleration in the Q4, with five units sold.
ExOne needs to prove it can ramp up manufacturing without a slip, says Daniel Holland, an analyst with research firm Morningstar.
"Looking back, many 3D printer companies have tried and failed when it came to large-scale manufacturing," Holland said. "It's a key cause of death and ExOne needs to prove it can meet demand with a quality product that customers are excited about."
40% Sales Growth Seen For '13
He estimates ExOne will report sales of $28 million in 2012 and grow 40% to $39 million this year. In 2014, he pegs sales at $61.4 million, up 57%.
Its competitors also have seen big revenue growth. 3D Systems' sales rose 44% in 2012, to $230 million. Stratasys rose 32% to $156 million.
3D printers, in general, make parts through a repetitive printing process.
Using 3D software designs, the printers use powdered materials or chemical agents to print products by repeatedly depositing thin layers of materials that are bonded together, layer by layer, to create the desired part.
The types of objects created range from parts for supersonic jets to toy figurines.
One potential competitive edge for ExOne vs. 3D Systems and Stratasys is the sector it focuses on and the types of materials it uses.
"One of our key industry advantages is that our machines are able to print products in materials that are desired by industrial customers," says ExOne's prospectus. It can make products consisting of silica sand, ceramics, stainless steel, bronze and glass, "and we are in various stages of qualifying additional industrial materials for printing, such as titanium, tungsten carbide, aluminum and magnesium."
Holland says this ability distinguishes ExOne from Stratasys, "which only produces plastics." 3D Systems is capable of printing with some of the materials ExOne uses, but Holland says ExOne "is a bit ahead of the curve."
Speeds Prototyping
Industry observers say 3D printers will let companies more rapidly prototype new products. Use of such printers also is seen as potentially a more efficient way to make any number of products, compared with more traditional methods.
General Electric (GE) CEO Jeffrey Immelt commented on 3D printing technology — also called "additive manufacturing" — at a business outlook conference in December, says Holland, who attended the event.
"Immelt referred to additive manufacturing as being a source of cost-saving efficiency over the next several years," Holland said.
Francis Gaskins, principal at IPOdesktop.com, which follows the IPO marketplace, sees pluses and minuses with the latest initial public offering.
"There is a huge amount of interest in this (3D printer) technology, but I don't think it is fully understood by investors yet," Gaskins said. "I like ExOne because it's an emerging company, but it's definitely speculative."
ExOne might also have benefitted from a strong IPO market in general.
"The IPO market has been very healthy," Gaskins said.
In the past year as of Jan. 22, Gaskins' analysis of 104 IPOs found that about 90% were trading above their initial price.

I found the wonderful red and white blocks when I returned home from my daughter's. They are great and will fit in nicely with my others. Nearly have enough for a top now so will be changing themes soon. You are a good friend to do those for Robert while his machine was down. Now mine is. Took it to the shop before my trip and thought it would be done when I returned home, but no, finally picking it up tomorrow. Thanks for posting the pics, and thanks again for the blocks.

I am excited. Yesterday I came accross a fabric on ebay with the names of all the states written on them. It is going to work in perfectly as sashing or a border for my "See the USA" quilt". I almost have enough bvlocks to beging putting it together. I still neeed a few states and am up for extra swaps from someone in those states.

Krejci 'looking good' for Thursday's opener
|09.30.09 at 12:40 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins center David Krejci has been ahead of schedule throughout the preseason, and it appears he'll be ready at the earliest portion of the recovery timetable by playing Opening Night against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 1. The 23-year-old playmaker has been practicing with the team for nearly the entire training camp schedule, and took part in another full practice on Thursday including time on the 5-on-4 and 5-on-3 power play units.
Krejci was also at his old spot centering a line between Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder during the practice, and B's coach Claude Julien did everything but formally announce his return following Wednesday's practice.
"The official [decision] will be made tomorrow, but right now he's looking good," said Julien. "He's feeling better and he's feeling more confident. The official decision, I guess, will come tomorrow, but right now it's looking good.
"He's ahead of schedule and a lot of the credit goes to a different group. Obviously [Krejci] because of the way he's worked at it, but the other thing is also the trainers for the therapy he's had and how he's worked with them. Between Donnie [DelNegro] and Scottie Waugh, they've done a tremendous job of rehabilitating him and getting him ready to play."
Julien also indicated there won't be much in the way of maintenance days or special care for the young pivot's surgically repaired right hip once he gets into the lineup, and there won't be any restrictions moving forward.
"That's the reason behind the surgery, so he could come back at 100 percent," said Julien. "As we speak right now, I don't see any reason why he would need extra days off. Last year he [needed days off] because of those issues, and they've been resolved hopefully."

Tove Lo x Habits [Video]Sunday, March 31st, 2013
Yes, this is a fgt ass emo jawn….but I'm all about lyricism and authenticity.
The other night, the homey Nodoz kicked me out his crib due to a belligerantly drunken (albeit righteous) argument on my behalf that Drake's "Started From The Bottom" is not hip hop certifiable based upon the fact he's been a millionaire Canadian child actor with a rich Jewish yt mother raised in fgt ass Canada since before he had hair on his nutz, and is extremely out of line slangin a southern accent and the word nigga with reckless abandonment. These are the battles I choose to fight.
Given my penchant for indiscriminately hating on non negro artists akkin like they can talk reckless without repurcussions, I fully support this frail yt Swedish bishes music.
Lyricism. If it's real and you live it, I have your blessing.
If you're showing up to PVRPL TRILL Nite at Good Life, putting dollas in the pockets of hack dj's that are making money off catering to a crowd of people that get their rocks off on lampooning black hood culture, I dearly want you to contract penis cancer.
That's neither here or there, and I say that to say this. <<< (ACTUAL STOLEN CAM'RON ADLIBS)
Respekk the lyrics:
I ate dinner in the bath tub, then I go to sex clubs
Watchin freaky people getting it on (X2)
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything it makes me restless
Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all
My life personified the last 10 years, and that's the first 4 bars. This joint has lyrically touched me more than any Tupac song ever (who I think is the most over rated mc of all time) and I'm ready to attend her show at Brighton Music Hall when tix are available.
(But of course I won't because it would be on a weekend, and that's when I have my son…plus picture me paying 20 bucks to see sum cracka bitch)
That's neither here or there, and I say that to say this.
Trees hates on me for poasting genuine hood shit, so I figure this provocative yt emo slept on shit will impress him in his North Carolina condo/trailer park.

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton won the last United States Grand Prix in 2007. He'd love to grab another victory in its return.
He's also tired of Sebastian Vettel christening all the new tracks in recent years with victories for Red Bull.
"I really would love to (win). Sebastian has a lot of wins on the new circuits. I hope I can get at least one," Hamilton said on Saturday after nearly knocking Vettel off pole position in qualifying.
Hamilton will start second on Sunday. He acknowledged a love affair with the U.S., starting with his victory in Indianapolis five years ago.
"I think it's the people, the way of life here. The weather is fantastic," Hamilton said. "I came here this weekend. ... I won the last U.S. Grand Prix, and I want it so bad."
Although the 2008 world champion will switch to Mercedes next season, Hamilton said he'd work hard for McLaren to help the team in the constructor's championship. Red Bull leads, trailed by Ferrari and McLaren.
If he can help push McLaren into second, "I will be very happy with that," Hamilton said.
