Denmark has been "the happiest place on earth" in many surveys for several years runne, despite our insane taxes
Check this out:
Disney World claims the distinction of being "the happiest place on earth," but if you're really in search of human bliss, you'd be surprised where you'll find it.
Is there a place where people facing the daily grind of life are somehow nudged by their surroundings or their values or their government into being the happiest people on the planet?
You might expect that place would be a tropical paradise with warm sand and soft breezes. Or a Mediterranean village with sun-kissed vineyards. Or the United States -- land of the free and home of the brave. But if you use social science techniques, you'll find some surprises. A paradise like Fiji comes in more than 50 spots below Iceland in happiness rankings. For all its style and cuisine, France and Italy rank well below Canada. And while the United States may be the richest and most powerful country, when it comes to happiness, it is only No. 23.
For the past decade, social scientists and pollsters have given elaborate questionnaires to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Two of the largest studies that rank the happiness of countries around the world are the World Map of Happiness from the University of Leiscester and the World Database of Happiness from Ruut Veenhoven of Erasmus University Rotterdam. All the happiness surveys ask people basically the same question: How happy are you?
"The answer you get is not only how they feel right now, but also how they feel about their entire life," explained Dan Buettner, who has studied happiness and longevity around the world through his Blue Zones project Buettner said that if you mine all the databases of universities and research centers, you'll find that the happiest place on earth is ? Denmark. Cold, dreary, unspectacular Denmark.
Working to Live
Denmark is a place where stoic locals wear sensible shoes and snack on herring sandwiches. Sure, they produce the occasional supermodel, but its most famous countryman may be the late entertainer Victor Borge.
Could the Danes really be the happiest people in the world? When ABC News anchor Bill Weir traveled there to find out, he asked random Danes to rate themselves in terms of happiness, on a scale of one to 10. Many people rated themselves at least an eight, and there were several nines and 10s. Finally, one grouchy Dane came along who said she didn't believe Danes were so happy. But then she quickly conceded that she herself felt rather content with her life, and said Danes in general had very little to complain about.
Danes do have one potential complaint: high taxes. The happiest people in the world pay some of the highest taxes in the world -- between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes. In exchange, the government covers all health care and education, and spends more on children and the elderly than any country in the world per capita. With just 5.5 million people, the system is efficient, and people feel "tryghed" -- the Danish word for "tucked in" -- like a snug child.
Those high taxes have another effect. Since a banker can end up taking home as much money as an artist, people don't chose careers based on income or status. "They have this thing called 'Jante-lov,' which essentially says, 'You're no better then anybody else,'" said Buettner. "A garbage man can live in a middle-class neighborhood and hold his head high."
Just like Sweden, Denmark is a Nordic welfare state with most of its services free to the citizens. Expect to pay 72% of your money to the government on the highest income tax bracket. According to Wikipedia Denmark has the worlds highest taxes! When buying a car in Denmark one has to pay 25% VAT to the import price of the vehicle and then a 180% registration tax on top. That means when a car sells for $20 000, you have to pay an additional $45 000 as taxes for the government (total of $65 000). That's why people in Denmark ride bikes or use one of the best public transport systems in the world. Denmark also has 2 autonomous provinces – the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The latter is over 50 times larger than Denmark but has about 100 times less people.
But I have to shut up now, I'm starting to sound like an idiot, sorry :P

The Mad Scientist's Lair
Jerrald looks around in the darkness, pleased that his vampire senses don't require boring old light to see things and this gives the director an excuse to shoot everything in green 'night vision'. He's in another large cave with what look like tables against all the walls. Somewhere off to his left is a fire-escape staircase leading up, and on the opposite side of the cavern to that is what looks like a fireman's pole. Lapdancer's pole if you ask me.... He takes a couple of steps forward, intending to look for a light switch, but the mad scientist Dad scientist, now, surely? has found it first..
The lights come on with a loud clunking sound just like stage floodlights and Jerrald blinks a few times. Up on a gantry joined to the staircase is the dad scientist, his hand resting on a gigantic knife switch that obviously controls the lights to the lair. As featured in Martha Stewart's Living, January issue. He ignores Jerrald and walks along the gantry, his footsteps clanking loudly, towards a large computer console covered in flashing lights. Jerrald takes the opportunity to hurry underneath the gantry where he won't be seen, and can still see what the dad scientist is doing by peering through the gaps in the gantry floor.
"They called me mad!" says the dad scientist apparantly to himself. "I told them that people would eat wallpaper paste if I dyed it yellow and called it processed cheese, but they called me mad!"
"You fiend!" shouts Jerrald, unable to contain himself at this dreadful revelation. The dad scientist looks around the lab, everywhere but below the gantry where the shout had come from.
"Who's there?" he says, a slight tremor in his voice. "Simpsonkins, is that you?"
Hearing his name as the cue, the lava-coated zombie British butler lurches through the wall without bothering to open the secret purple brick first, spraying the set - I mean, secret lair - with plaster dust.
"Master," drones the butler, and sees Jerrald hiding like an elephant in the corner beneath the gantry. His eyes glowing red, he lurches forwards, hot, smoking arms outstretched, still intent on the murder of his erstwhile master.

D.C. is up in arms after City Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown leased a fully-loaded 2011 Lincoln Navigator L Series on the city's budget – then leased another because he didn't get the upholstery that he wanted.
According to The Washington Post, Brown put in for a "black on black" Navigator, but threw a fit when the SUV arrived with gray upholstery. Demanding that he get his way, Brown ordered another. Now tax payers are stuck leasing two Navigators (a total of $3,732 per month) while the city is in debt $400 million.
Brown's justification: "Vehicles with dark interiors, Brown said, tend to hold their value better," writes The Washington Post. But there's absolutely no truth to that statement.
Ironically, Brown's second Navigator doesn't even sport all-black upholstery. The interior's color scheme is two tone: black and tan.

The best way to ask this question is to explain a simplified version of my project.
I am going to create an upload interface that will allow a user to upload 4 seperate pdf files. Once the 4 files are uploaded, I will want to create a link that sends out an email with the link to the 4 documents. Easy enough...
However, ideally I would be able to show the 4 pdf documents in one 'binder' (that may be the wrong term). By this I mean that the 4 documents would be visible in acrobat with bookmarks to each particular pdf.
Is it possible to do this, or would the user have to create one PDF 'binder' with boomarks to each particular document before the upload? If so, is there a method to auto-create the bookmarks during the 'combine pdf' process?

At the best of times Bryan Cranston seems like one of the nicest guys in Hollywood and this latest move may only prove that even further.
A lucky Breaking Bad fan got treated to an amazing surprise when she picked up a copy of his latest autobiography at an airport bookshop, which apparently was signed by the actor himself.
Makenna Enfinger was doing a spot of shopping before her flight at Love Field airport, Dallas when she found a copy of the book, called A Life in Parts, with the message 'Open Me' on the front.
Found this on a shelf at love field airport…so amazing! Can't wait to read it! Is this real??? @BryanCranston pic.twitter.com/BxxSukWu1T
— Kenna (@makennajean22) October 19, 2016
She found a message inside the book, allegedly from Cranston himself, and it had already been paid for.
The message said:
Hi. Hey, thanks for taking a gander at my book. Take this book for yourself FREE! Really. I just bought it – see the receipt. I hope you enjoy the read. Have a nice day. Bryan Cranston, Dallas Airport, Oct 19 2016, 9:45 am.
Makenna then tweeted the actor to thank him:
@BryanCranston I've been a fan of Breaking Bad since it aired but now I have a new respect for the man behind Walter White! Thank you!!— Kenna (@makennajean22) October 21, 2016
Cranston was speaking at an event in the city on the same day, but it has not yet been confirmed that it was him who left the note.
The cynical side of us said it's an elaborate prank, but we really hope in our heart of hearts that this is actually real. If it is, that's one classy move Bryan.

I'd say increase the bundleCacheSize in the persistence manager configuration section of your workspace.xml and soon the reads from the repository will be served entirely from cache. are you sure the repository is the bottleneck? Do you have profiling data? XML transformations are usually also expensive. speaking of XML, what exactly do you mean, when you say: > reading the item info into java by way of an xml stream. is that a Session.exportDocument/SystemView()? regards marcel On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 16:51, Euan Green<email@example.com> wrote: > Hi, > > What is the best/quickest way to display items from the repository on a web > page? > I have an app that needs to display approx 250 items (using a list of > UUID's) from a repository containing 10000 items.

"Do you know what it's like going through life being better than everybody? It's hard."

Killing a man with your bare hands says 'We're all equals as men except I'm slightly more equal because I'm still alive and your dead.'

"The object of war is not to die for your country, it's to make the other bastard die for his." General George S. Patton

If they meet when they're younger and slowly develop things for each other, that's different, but if Naruto meets Hinata and is suddenly in love with her after she confesses her 'love' for him, it just makes me sigh and roll my eyes. Basically, it's easy to find a Naru/Hina, but it's hard to find a good one.
No. Just no. Does no one see how disgusting that is? She is his fuckingmother, for God's sake. Can you imagine fucking your mother? It doesn't matter that he doesn't know her, she's still his mother! It doesn't matter that he looks like Minato, he isn't and it's her son! I can't read these. There were plenty of good stories that I stopped reading because they made it a Naru/Kushi. It's just plain disgusting.
I hate harems. If Naruto is paired with two people, then I can understand it. I can see a person being in love with two people, but not twenty. When a fic is started, why is the first question out of everyone's mouth 'Who's he gonna fuck?' or 'How many girls is he gonna fuck?' I won't read a massive harem. I find it unbelievable that 21 girls are okay with sharing him with everyone else. And I know what you're gonna say: "Oh, yeah, and giant water dragons are sooooo believable." Actually, I find that more believable than getting 21 girls. Let's say you were a part of the Naruto universe. Eventually, you could get to a level where you could use a water dragon, but even in this realm of fantasy, you could never get that many girls.
Why is it that everyone seems to think giving Naruto everything with a vagina under the sun will make him more 'badass' or 'awesome'? I even saw one where Naruto's dog is given a human form for the sole purpose of having him fuck her. That's the same when they give Naruto a twin sister just so he has another hole.
Especially when they give him somebody who's already in a relationship like Kurenai or Yugao. I doubt they would give up someone they have known for years, for a 'cute, sweet, non-perverted' 12 year old that they just met and, somehow, instantly fell in love with. And, you know, who is TWELVE. You all do realize that is pedophilia, right? And you can go ahead and pull that flimsy 'He's a ninja, so he's an adult!' excuse. It's true that he is technically an adult, but he still has the body and mindset of a twelve year old. Any person who is attracted to that is a pedophile. Is it only okay when the woman is a pedophile or something. You all wouldn't read a story that has Sakura with a thirty year old man, would you?
Or someone like Konan, who is like in her late 30s/early 40s, who betrays the Akatsuki to be with Naruto. "Oh, Hey Nagato. I just wanted to say that, even though we've been like siblings for like 30 years, I'm betraying the organization that our dead friend started because I found a hot guy who makes me smile, even though I just met him."
If you do this, you don't understand what Konan and Nagato mean to each other.
To me, if your story is a harem, it's automatically shit.
Harem Rant Time:
You know, I recently read a story. It was a Naru/Harem because you can't go five seconds without finding one of those. Anyway, I forget what it was called (I never really read the title, just the description), but I read it anyway because I liked the idea. But now, I can basically just point to it and say 'Pretty much that.' for everything that's wrong with Harems.
First off, there are three gods of the story, who are, unsurprisingly, women. And you know in these stories that whenever something with a vagina gets within five feet of Naruto, they immediately jump down his pants, so I saw what was going to happen from a mile away. Anyway, Naruto had just defeated Sasuke at the VotE and was bringing him back to Konoha when he gets attacked by Kakashi and left for dead. Then, the three 'goddesses' come down and fix Naruto, because they obviously have nothing better to do. They then offer to send Naruto to another universe (it was a crossover) to train for three years on the condition that he comes back to destroy Konoha, and that all three of them would (surprise, surprise) be mated to him. The author didn't even state a reason for it! They send Naruto to the other universe to some dragon and tell him to train Naruto, while they kill the Akatsuki, but some of them live to become Naruto's bodyguards.
This made me wonder why, if they wanted Konoha gone so bad, they didn't just do it themselves? I mean, they even go to Konoha to tell them about Naruto surviving and Kakashi trying to kill him. But whatever. Anyway here's where the Harem comes in. One timeskip later and we find out what's been happening the last three years. Apparently, there are some shinobi of Konoha siding with Naruto. Though that's mostly just six specific girls that the author decides are going to love him for some reason. Anko, because he's like her, even though he barely interacted with her once. Hinata, because she admires him, even though he has barely ever interacted with her. Tenten, because she feels guilty, even though he interacts with her even less than he does with Hinata. Hana Inuzuka because she likes how he smells (I swear it said something like that), even though I'm pretty sure Naruto has never even heard of her. Temari, because she is grateful for what he did for Gaara, and she likes the fact that he didn't end up like Gaara. Really? Is that really a viable reason to love somebody? And, finally, Ino. Because she...well, she has a vagina as well. When Naruto learns about them, he immediately states that he loves all of them and that they can be with him, as well. Really? Reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyy???????????? BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Also, for some reason, Kakashi didn't get punished or executed for his attack on Naruto. You could say it was because they didn't have any proof, but I would think that the word of God would be enough.
Next, when he revives Haku and Zabuza, the former immediately falls in love with him as well and he claims the same. Seriously, how can people not get sick of this? But that's not the worst part.
The breaking point for me came when he rescued Fu. It clearly states that she can't trust people easily, but after she regained conciousness and found out that Naruto saved her, they're making out not a minute after! Then, a small conversation happened between Naruto and Fu.
"I was to rebuild the Clans so I fell under the CRA (A bullshit idea that also pisses me off), the Clan Restoration Act if you didn't know. My parents can't have children anymore due to age so it's my job. Of course, I'd only marry who I love (BULLSHIT! You obviously don't know what love is). I hate men who just grab beautiful woman off the street to satisfy their perverted desires(you mean like how you're doing?)."
"So…you have a harem?"
Then, Naruto says something that pissed me off to no end:
"Harem is a word I despise. I like the term big family."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wrong! A big family is one full of you and people you care about, including mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, and even close friends. A big family is not one guy with a bunch of women!
Also, Minato was still alive, in a coma, and Kushina had that bullshit 'the Konoha elders lied to me' excuse. Of course, with Kushina alive, it's only a matter of time before Minato dies for real and she gets in her son's pants, too. Apparently because 'It's hot, dude.' If you seriously like incest, then there is something wrong with you.
The harem also showed no signs of stopping. It's only a matter of time before he's introduced to Yugito, Samui, Karui, and Mei, and they jump in his pants immediately, as well. I'm okay with it if he just sleeps around. Not attached to anybody, just in it for the sex. You know why that's fine with me and not something like what I just described? Because this kind of Naruto doesn't claim to love any of them, he just wants sex! Most of them should know that, too.
Romance should never be the main part of any story that isn't completely based around it in the first place. If it's an action story that has romance in it, it should not be equal parts romance and action/adventure, it should be majority action/adventure and minority romance. Personally, I don't even want to add any pairings for Naruto in any of my story, mostly because I suck at it, but also because I just don't want to.
Clan Restoration Act:
What even is this? It's some flimsy thing authors put into stories so that they can 'justify' Naruto having a giant harem. They say it's to restore a clan, but how is that at all a good excuse? First of all, the Uzumaki have strong life forces and innate talent with sealing, but that's not enough to justify this idiotic 'law' being used. And anyway, even if it did exist, the way authors use it is all wrong. They use it by having Naruto take twenty (or more) wives, who he meets and who inexplicably fall in love with him in the first thirty seconds every damn time, and hope that they have kids some day. If this retarded law was real, what would really happen is Naruto providing semen samples, tests being done to find the best and most willing candidates to bear the children so the bloodline would come out strong. Then, the chosen women would be impregnated, and they'd have kids that would go to live with Naruto, who would raise and train them. It is doubtful there would be more than ten, and I'm sure he would have assistance. That's what would happen.
I won't read these. Whenever I see it in the description, I immediately skip over it. Do you know why there are FemNarus? Mostly because the author wants to put him with a guy, but make it seem 'not gay', or because the author's female and wants to make a thinly-veiled attempt at a self-insert. I also hate when they change others genders because they want to throw them into a harem with him after they ran out of real girls. Except for Haku. Almost every story has him as a girl that even sometimes I forget he is a guy. For example, I almost accidentally wrote 'girl' instead of 'guy' at the end of that last sentence.
Do you know what's even worse? When they turn him into a girl...and STILL GIVE HIM A HUGE HAREM OF WOMEN!
Also, if you're going to ruin your story by turning characters into girls, at least have the decency to pick the 'Naruko' tag in the character list.
This is no longer true for me. One day I was bored and scrolling through the archive for Fairy Tail, I believe, and came across an OC story. Usually, I would just skip right over that, but, as I said, I was bored and decided 'Why not?'. So, I read it and Surprise! I actually liked it. After that, I found several other OC and Self-Inserts and liked them, too. Sure, there were crappy ones, but I can now say that I actually like these kinds of stories.
What the fuck is up with all the Yaoi on this site, especially the Naruto section? Jesus Christ, I usually hear people bitch about this constantly (usually hypocrites who write Yuri, Harems, or a combination of the two), but I never used to see all that much of it. Now, holy crap, you can't skim down the Naruto fanfiction archive page without running into twenty of them. And yes, I do realize they only show twenty-five per page. I don't want to read about what Naruto would be like in high school and what he will do about his 'love' for Sasuke. Really, and I don't want to hear about how Naruto (because it's always Naruto) somehow got pregnant and has a girl. It's nearly always a girl because most yaoi writers are girls and they want to be Naruto's kid, and be an extremely powerful ninja, so they make his ass-baby a self-insert. But let's be honest; we've all had that fantasy of what it would be like to be in the Naruto universe. I have, and hell yes I would make myself totally overpowered. But I would never actually write that. Who the hell wants to read about some author's totally overpowered character of themselves? I know I wouldn't. And even if I did write one, I would give some explanation as to why I'm so powerful. Not the usual 'me and two friends fell into the Naruto universe and somehow we're super S-Rank level and everyone loves and trusts us and the guy I'm a fangirl of immediately falls in love with me! SSSSSSSQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Ahem* This is about Yaoi. Anyway, if a story looks good, I will read it even if it is Yaoi. To me, it is much more tolerable than Harems. I have a couple stories on my favorites list that have Naruto paired with a guy, but I favorited it, not because of that, but because one was a time-travel story and...well, I love time travel fics. I'll be honest, it was actually yaoi that introduced me to this site in the first place. Not from Naruto, though.
Stories in General:
I swear, there are nearly no good stories anymore. Ninety percent of Naruto fictions are yaoi, harems, or just generally shit. Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that mine are perfect, I know they are not, but they are definitely better than most of the shit on this site. You know those drop-down boxes on the archive page that lets you pick what genre, character, rating, etc.? Well, I wish they could add a few more boxes.
These would be the categories:
Harem fics
Yaoi fics
Incest fics
Stories with shitty ideas
Stories with shitty execution
Stories with shitty grammar/punctuation/capitalization/etc.
Stories that are just plain shitty
Stories that haven't been updated in over a year (They actually did this a while ago, I believe.)
Stories that are actually good
Wouldn't this be nice to have? I would love this thing! I believe I have many fantastic stories on my favorites list (though not all of them are from the Naruto fandom). For example, Life in Konoha's ANBU, or Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns are stories that I really enjoy. Uzumaki Clan's Rebirth is one of the best Naruto fanfictions I have ever read. It's near the bottom of my favorite's list if you want to check it out. Sure it's over two years old, but it's done and I have rarely found anything nearly as good as that. I'll admit that some of them don't have the best grammar, etc. but I liked them so much that I let it slide. A couple days ago, I got rid of some stories I favorited because I thought I liked them, only to later realize were complete shit.
Grammar really needs to be good for people to really like your story. My stories may have several errors in grammar, but that's because I'm lazy and don't proofread. For example, I got rid of a story I liked because the grammar was just complete shit. I want to ask you, how many mistakes do you count in this sentence?
'He shrugged "could of gone worse, Bartrand's bread could have always came to life and attacked us" jokes aside Varric was right, that could have gone a little smoother, but a least now Bartrand was a least excepting their help.'
I may not be an English major, but I count fourteen. I won't point them all out, but here's how I think the sentence should be:
'He shrugged, "Could have gone worse. Bartrand's beard could have always come to life and attacked us." Jokes aside, Varric was right. That could have gone a little smoother, but at least now Bartrand was accepting their help.'
Isn't that way better?
Dark Naruto:
I like Dark Naruto stories, but there is something that happens in nearly every single one of them. He turns good again. Do you people not realize that we don't want Naruto to become good again? That's why we read them! Right now, I have one story that could be considered Dark Naruto, but I don't see it that way. I see my Naruto as a neutral person who looks out for himself and doesn't take shit from anybody, not a psychopathic killer.
I once read a Dark Naruto story where he turned good again. Now, to be fair, it did say that he would, but I wanted to see how it happened. He was pretty much an assehole to Konoha shinobi (he worked for Orochimaru). Anyway, I was expecting him to gradually come back to the good side after many confrontations with his old friends and heavy thinking about the situation. What I did not expect was for him to say some asshole comment to Sasuke, then for Hinata (who, for some reason, wasn't a stuttering pathetic mess) to order Naruto to apologize. I expected him to to basically say 'Fuck you.' but instead he bows to both of them and fucking stutters 'I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y. Obviously, I'm exaggerating, but that is basically how it happened. I literally said 'What the fuck?' My interest in that story went from sixty percent to zero after that conversation.
There is also something else that I've noticed happens in a lot of Dark Naruto stories. To me, he comes off as a brat. I know he's had a bad life, but I swear he gets really bitchy in some of them. I read this one story where he was stronger than Kakashi and, because Naruto was mentally unstable, he didn't know what Naruto might do to a kunoichi they had just captured. Naruto threatened to kill Kakashi for implying he would rape her, and that's when I realized it. He was acting just like Sasuke would. He was holding his power over the others' heads to make them do what he wants. It was a harem with canon girls and OC's and nearly half of every chapter was filler, so that wasn't the only reason it sucked. Also, I remember that Naruto found two enemies, and defeated them. That's fine, but then they offered themselves to him, he accepted (because why not? It's not like they were his enemies or anything!) and the two girls - who were sisters - started to talk excitedly about how they were going to be shared from then on.
I don't really mind bashing, especially Sakura and Sasuke. At one point, I was wondering why everyone was making Sasuke seem like he was an arrogant asshole who thought he was never wrong and deserves everything. I remember thinking that he never acted like that in the original anime. Then, I read the new manga chapter and he was acting exactly how everyone is making him out to be. For Sakura, I know everyone hates her because of how she hits Naruto repeatedly, but he can say some really stupid shit and annoy the hell out of you. I don't know about any of you, but I think I would have to punch him every once in a while to stay sane. I would still try to be his friend, though. But, then again, she is a useless fangirl that thinks she is better than Naruto, and that just pisses me right the fuck off. Don't know what everyone's problem with Kiba is, though.
At some point however, it gets excessive. Do you really think having Naruto or someone else call Orochimaru a pedophile will piss him off at all? I'm sure he's been called much worse. And Danzo. *Sigh* I'll be honest, I kind of like him. He comes off as a morally bankrupt asshole, but he would do anything for his village. Sure he's made some shit decisions, who hasn't? He doesn't regret them because that wouldn't change anything and he has more important things to worry about. ROOT is important because it does things that can't be blames on Konoha. If I were the Hokage, I would allow ROOT to operate as long as its shinobi volunteered to lose their emotions. So, those fics where he betrays Konoha are about as OOC as you can possibly get.
Like I said, I don't mind bashing, but I generally find that the best stories are ones that don't have bashing at all.
Other Things I Hate:
Horrific Spelling/Grammar/Punctuation/Capitalization: I can understand messing up once in a while, but if you do stuff like make run-on sentences, wrong punctuation, not putting commas where they are needed, not capitalizing things that need to be, constantly misspelling words, or you have to read a paragraph several times just to understand what the hell you just said, you should just stop writing. I get that English may not be your first language, but I have seen some kids in Elementary School write better, so you shouldn't bother with English. That's not to say all of you. I have read some fics from people with English as a secondary language that were quite good.
Here's a rule we learned in 2nd grade: New speaker=New paragraph. Why do so many people make this mistake? It has stuck with since I first learned it, and I am flabbergasted that so many people still do it. Do you just not want to put in the effort to press enter? Come on.
Misspelling words such as definitely as defiantly or lightning as lightening or affected as effected or vice-versa (though I can really understand that last one). Hell, I even saw one person who misspelled affinity as epiphany. How does that even happen?
FemKyuubi/Sob-Story Kyuubi: Kyuubi is a destructive force. It is not a wronged, kind, loving entity. It was not out one night searching for food to feed its 'kits' and returned to find them dead and blah, blah, blah. Do you know why there are FemKyuubi fics? Why so she can be thrown into the Harem, of course! Also, why does everyone seem to think FemKyuubi=GoodKyuubi? That's like saying that all males are inherently evil while all females are inherently good. And excuse me for saying this... Actually, don't excuse me, Kurama is a male name. Kurama is male. End of story. I think the only tailed beasts that have a chance at being female are the Nibi, and the Nanabi.
Also I hate when Kurama refers to Naruto as 'kit'. It would not do that. Naruto is not a baby fox, and Kurama isn't even a real fox. It was created in the shape of one, but it is not one. Kurama would either refer to Naruto by his name, or brat, kid, idiot, etc.
Hanyou-Naruto: I don't specifically hate Hanyou-Naruto, just those in which he gets fox tails and fox ears. What is the point of that? Oh, I know! So he looks more 'kawaii' and more women are compelled to join the harem. I know that tails can sound useful, but them on a normal sized human? They would be more fluff and more of a hindrance than anything. Although, I haven't seen this in a while, so I assume it only has to do with the older stories.
Defenseless Kunoichi: Why is it that if Naruto is with an extremely powerful Kunoichi, she goes from S-Rank level to low C-Rank level? For example, Mei Terumi has been captured by the Akatsuki, and Naruto has to rescue her. I understand that it would be possible to capture her if she were fighting Itachi and Kisame but the author made it seem like she was easily defeated by just Itachi with a simple Genjutsu while Kisame hung back. Then Naruto shows up, kicks both their asses and saves her. She is not the Godaime Mizukage for nothing! I think it would be possible for them to capture her after a long, drawn-out battle with both of them and they sustained heavy injury, but the author made it seem like Itachi just looked at her and BOOM. Captured.
Another example is a story in which Itachi was female, which I suffered through because Naruto had the Rinnegan, and he was immediately overpowered by Yugito. YUGITO. I get that she's powerful but there is no way Yugito is on Itachi's level. Also, it was little more than a cat-fight over Naruto! They might as well have been mud-wrestling in bikinis while hurling insults at each other.
Also, I hate it when Naruto refuses to kill someone or fight them if they are female. If someone is threatening to destroy your home and kill everyone you love, you will kill them no matter if they were male or female. If you say, "I will not fight a woman!" They are not going to be touched by this and just forget their mission because of your words. They are just going to shrug their shoulders, kill you, and move on. If anything, they'd be pissed because they'd think you didn't see kunoichi as a threat. Or if Naruto says, "I never liked killing a woman." That's like saying that women are more valuable than men.
Stupid/Naive/Loud Naruto AKA Canon Naruto: I hate when he cries over someone that is slightly like him. He is so desperate for attention that he will trust anyone who gives him the slightest bit. I know in Canon he was never beaten or raped, etc., but he has no attachments to Konoha. If I were him, I would have just said "I don't feel anything for this city, why am I here?" and left! But, nooooo, he somehow falls in love with Konoha and will die for people who don't give a shit about him. I'm starting to think he was brainwashed or was just hit over the head too many times. He wants to be Hokage but slacks off during both the Academy and most likely during his training trip, and only has a few jutsu to his name. He spams clones, has rasengan/rasenshuriken and sage mode. That's it! I'm not counting Kurama because that's not his power.

WAKE UP CALL (Complete work)

- This is a migrated legacy post. Image resolution is low. Info
I Wanted to try this, some sort of conceptual work, thats why a lot of diferent photos in one series.
i am not sure if the idea is clear, sometimes your life suddenly can change, often changes are dificult to acept and we can feel fear, a lot of fear. but change is there and it will happen. but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, and when it happens you realize that u are over it, and that fearfull change,becomes a dream, maybe a bad dream (like a sickness, or hear pain) when you gather your strengh its the wake up call, to life, wich is powerfull and it can be whatever u wanted to be, doesnt really matter how bad is your dream or how bad looks your killer.
Celebrate life !

My emotion goes up and down as I scroll down ! Well Done!
Like the concept and the message it brings in the end.

Unfortunately our killer comes in many different shapes, shades and colors. Unfortunately, too many of us have become very "strong." You're final message is right on! We should all "celebrate life!" Thanks. :)

At a press conference Tuesday at the Saudi Embassy, glib foreign-policy official Adel al-Jubeir complained that his forward-thinking Arab nation has been victimized by a negative portrayal that "borders on hate." Al-Jubeir took pains to tick off some of the unappreciated Saudi contributions to the war on terrorism, including freezing more than $5.5 million in rogue bank accounts and breaking up three al-Qaeda cells.
How could any right-thinking American not be impressed? Bank accounts worth $5.5 million may not seem like much by domestic standards, but in an impoverished nation like Saudi Arabia that's real money. And getting the goods on three al-Qaeda cells in the country that spawned Osama bin Laden. Wow!
The star-crossed Saudis can't seem to catch a break. To listen to them, it was just random chance that 15 of Sept. 11 terrorists happened to be Saudi. They just as easily could have been Norwegians. Certainly, no Saudi ever imagined that lavishly funding Wahhabism, a fundamentalist Islamic sect, might fan the worldwide flames of anti-American hatred. And the plight of Princess Haifa al-Faisal, the wife of the longtime Saudi ambassador to Washington, illustrates the truism that no good deed goes unpunished. By sheer happenstance and an indirect route, a charitable donation from the princess seems to have ended up in the bank accounts of two of the hijackers.
Al-Jubeir offered a creative theory to explain the 15 Saudis armed with box cutters: It was all part of bin Laden's insidious plot. "We believe that al-Qaeda chose Saudis to give the operation a Saudi face and drive a wedge between (our) two countries." He also asked, "If, instead of 15 of 19 hijackers, you had only two or three Saudis on the planes, does anyone in this room think that Saudi Arabia, that our faith, that our educational system would have been subjected to this severe and outrageous criticism?"
Outbursts like this make arresting TV footage. But there is a flaw in al-Jubeir's argument. We rightly hold Saudi Arabia to a higher standard than other terrorist-breeding countries like Yemen and the Sudan because the Saudis purport to be our allies. Part of this unprincipled bargain is that Americans are supposed to wink at quaint Saudi practices such as their treatment of women and their draconian justice system. But this awkward alliance of convenience only works if the Saudis do far more than merely provide us with cheap oil.
Tuesday's press conference was the latest installment in a carefully orchestrated Saudi campaign to fuel this bilateral relationship.
Recognizing that the best way to win the hearts and minds of Americans is through their TVs, the Saudis just ended a $10 million ad campaign meant to set the record straight. These 30-second spots were so beguiling that it's easy to imagine that alcohol-free Riyadh will soon rival Disney World as a family-friendly vacation paradise.
"We've been allies for more than 60 years, working together to solve the world's toughest problems," one of these commercials begins. On the screen is a photomontage of presidents, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt, shaking hands with their Saudi counterparts. The roll of presidents continues as the voice-over suavely speaks about "working together to bring peace to the Middle East." Yes, without artful Saudi diplomacy, Israel and the Palestinians might be at war right now. It is also surely coincidental that this Saudi ad omits Richard Nixon from the roster of presidents offering their right hands in lasting friendship.
Given the unfortunate turn in U.S.-Saudi relations, a more aggressive television marketing campaign may be necessary. Princess Haifa might be enlisted to declare on camera, "Our charity knows no limits." A hard-sell spot might truthfully proclaim: "Osama is really from Yemen." There are also Saudi customs that might be packaged to appeal to an exclusively male audience, say, during NASCAR events. Picture a Mercedes roaring down a Saudi highway as the announcer chuckles, "Do you really want your wife driving?"
Saudi Arabia is not the only nation that could use a few Madison Avenue tricks to burnish its image. The Iranians might hit the airwaves with a rueful we-goofed apology that features the tag line, "Did we really call you the 'Great Satan'?" Iran could also play the anti-Iraq card with another commercial that reminds Americans, "We were Saddam's enemy since Day One."
North Korea might put a positive spin on its peculiar penchant for kidnapping Japanese citizens with the ad slogan: "We're so friendly, we make you visit." Or the Pyongyang regime could play on TV sitcom nostalgia and feature Alan Alda in a commercial that boasts, "We're the little country that inspired M*A*S*H."
In truth, it will take far more than public-relations wizardry to restore America's trust in the Saudis. At the moment, the Bush administration probably has little choice but to paper over the rift. But ultimately, America has to face the consequences of a 60-year alliance with a theocratic state that represents the antithesis of our democratic values.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Bruce FalconerAug. 15, 2007 10:40 AM
At least 200 people were killed yesterday when powerful truck bombs exploded in two villages adjacent to Iraq's northern Kurdish region along the Syrian border. The victims were members of the Yizidi community, a minority religious sect that local Muslims consider to be "devil worshipers." At least one of the villages was virtually destroyed in the blast, as most of its dwellings were made of clay. Bodies littered the ground, and more than 200 wounded were rushed to six area hospitals. The attack was among the deadliest in Iraq this year.
A spokesman for the Kurdish regional government told reporters that the Kurdish peshmerga might have been able to prevent the bombings, but is forbidden from operating in the Yizidi area by the central government in Baghdad. According to the BBC:
Tensions between the Yazidi sect and local Muslims have grown since a Yazidi girl was reportedly stoned by her community in April for converting to Islam.
The sect is due to vote later alongside other Kurds outside the Kurdish autonomous region in a referendum on joining the grouping.
Correspondents say the planned referendum makes northern Iraq's Kurds a target for politically-motivated attacks.
Sunni extremists are thought to be responsible for yesterday's bombings. From Juan Cole's Informed Comment:
The operation resembled the horrific bombing of the Shiite Turkmen of Armili on July 2. Note that first Shiite Turkmen were targeted and now Kurdish Yazidis. They have in common not being Sunni Arabs. My suspicion is that these bombings are not just an attempt to spread fear and intimidation, but are actually part of a struggle for control of territory. The Sunni Arab guerrillas face powerful challenges from Kurds and Shiites with regard to the future of provinces such as Ninevah, Diyala and Kirkuk. A lot of Kurdish police and troops have been deployed in Mosul not far from Tuesday's bombings, and they are seen as among the deadliest enemies by the Sunni Arab guerrillas. Sooner or later, my guess is that the Sunni Arabs will wage a major war with the Kurds over the oil fields of Kirkuk.
Attacks like this one in northern Iraq only strengthen the Kurds' conviction that there is little to be gained from associating themselves with Iraq's central government... and perhaps even more to be lost by doing so. The chaos and violence that reigns in Baghdad appears to be spreading to previously quiet areas. The "surge" is responsible for at least some of this. Rather than packing it in under increased U.S. pressure, insurgent groups have begun to select easier targets in other parts of the country. After all, what better way to antagonize the Kurds into fighting a civil war than to attack them on their own ground?
Speaking of the surge, here's Time's Matthew Yeomans:
The U.S. Army Chief of Staff says the troop surge is working, however. Gen. George Casey—who is a former U.S. commander in Iraq—told reporters yesterday he saw clear "progress on the security front" during his weekend visit to Iraq. "As complex and as difficult and as confusing as you may find Iraq ... we can succeed there," he said. "And we will succeed there if we demonstrate patience and will." But he said he didn't know when the Army might be able to cut soldiers' tours of duty back to 12 months from 15.
What he did say, though, was that deployments longer than the current 15 months would "put our soldiers at a level of stress and a level of risk that I'm right now not comfortable with." The surge can only be maintained by extending tours to 18 months. So, it looks like no matter what happens in the political debate over a potential drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq, the soldiers are going to start coming home no matter what.

Karl Rove's politicalization of the federal government became so wide-ranging and so bald earlier this year that the Republican apparatchik at the head of the Office of Special Counsel decided to investigate him. If you were wondering if that investigation will end with Rove's resignation (MoJo's thoughts on the departure here and here), have no fear. According to an Office of Special Counsel spokesman, the inquiries will continue.
That could be spin, of course, and we'll have to wait to see if any real results come out of the OSC, but at least it's spin in the right direction.

Guess which beleaguered public official is poised to grab even more power—Alberto Gonzales. A hidden provision in the reauthorization of the Patriot Act allows states to opt in to a program aimed at expediting the federal appeals process for death row inmates. This provision gives the attorney general the authority to deny an appeal before it even reaches federal court for review. The attorney general's job is to present such a case before the court, not to decide it.
Sound familiar? There was another provision that was quietly slipped into the reauthorization of the Patriot Act granting Gonzales excess power. You know, the one that allowed him to appoint interim U.S. attorneys without Senate confirmation? Shouldn't we be scouring that bill for more sneaky power-granting amendments?
And it's not difficult to predict what Gonzales will do with this newfound control over capital litigation. As gubernatorial counsel to Bush for three years in Texas, Gonzales advised him on 57 executions. Clemency was denied in all of them.

What a week. First Rove, now Dennis Hastert, who, until last year, was the most powerful man in Congress. As recently as January, the former Speaker of the House had emphatically denied that he was thinking about calling it quits. "I just think that was wishful thinking on the part of some people," the Illinois Congressman had told the local CBS station in Chicago. But now CBS says its sources "expect Hastert to announce he will not seek reelection next year."
It's too early to say why Hastert is calling it quits, and we'll probably never know for sure (I'll bet, like Rove, he'll be wanting to get in some quality time with the family). I'd guess Hastert might be tired of hearing about how he helped squander the Republican majority with his botched handling of the Congressional page sex scandal. And it probably hasn't helped that the scandal refuses to go away: the Rev. KA Paul, who was widely discredited even before Hastert discussed the page woes with him last year in a private meeting, was recently arrested in a Beverly Hills hotel on suspicion of "lewd and lascivious acts with a minor." Still, many in Illinois will be sad to see Hastert go, if for no other reason than his ability to bring home giant slabs of pork. While it's true that Speaker Pelosi is also sprinkling some bacon bits these days, at least she hasn't been accused of self-dealing. Hastert won an earmark for a freeway through the middle of nowhere, driving up the value of an adjacent property that he owned, which he then sold at a profit.
"Hastert was one of the key players in rewriting how business on the floor of the House of Representatives is done," says John Laesch, a Navy veteran who ran against Hastert last year and came closer to winning than anyone had thought possible. "The pay-to-play system that he and Tom DeLay created puts the people's business behind closed doors. I think that is probably ultimately what he will be remembered for in Washington, D.C." Laesch is one of three Democrats making a bid for the seat this year in the Illinois primary. What would he do differently if he gets elected? "Well," he says, pausing to think for a moment. "Everything."
Jonathan SteinAug. 14, 2007 5:57 PM
When we live-blogged the glorious 2006 midterm elections, we posted a blog saying buh-bye to each nefarious member of the Republican delegation as they fell. Santorum and George Allen were particular favorites. Today, we've got a headstart on 2008. Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert will announce that he is retiring. It is unclear if his retirement is effective immediately or at the end of this session of Congress.
As the man who presided over the Republican House when it (1) whole-heartedly supported one of the greatest foreign policy debacles in our country's history, and (2) swung widely out of control in terms of corruption, graft, ethics abuses, and preying on congressional pages, Hastert leaves with a legacy tarnished. Awfully common these days.
Mac McClellandAug. 14, 2007 4:04 PM
The Newark mayor's office has raised more than $3 million for a state-of-the-art surveillance system within days of the slaying of three college students. The homicides, which brought the 2007 citywide total up to 60, inspired political foes to make friends and corporations to make donations, all in the name of mitigating the alarming levels of violence in their city.
Meanwhile, no such strides have been made in New Orleans, where in the first four days of this year, seven people were murdered. By Saint Patrick's Day, 37. With less than half of the city's population around, the odds of getting killed in New Orleans made it the deadliest city in America.
A few months after I moved out of New Orleans last year, someone was shot with an assault rifle on the very corner on which I stood waiting for the bus every day. Hopefully the situation in Newark will inspire a certain mayor's office on the Gulf Coast, too, in a city in which there have been twice as many murders—literally, 120 so far this year—among a population less tens of thousands. Hopefully it'll happen soon, before more good and desperately needed New Orleanians, evacuating from a different kind of threat, move out.

Behold, another super-cool gadget from Google. It's called Gapminder World, and it was developed by the Gapminder Foundation, which describes itself as "a non-profit venture for development and provision of free software that visualise human development." You can track almost any country in the world on a chart where you can make the x- and y-axes any one of more than a dozen development indicators. You can color the points differently based on region, or resize them based on population. You can see which countries are making progress and which are lagging behind. You can scale data logarithmically. Basically, it's the coolest thing I've found on Google in a while. That's saying something.
Just check it out.

Yet another problem for General Petraeus and the American military to worry about: the Italian mafia is selling weapons to insurgent factions in Iraq. It just got caught trafficking "100,000 sophisticated machine guns." Wonder if that's in the vaunted counterinsurgency manual...

Mitt Romney is rich. So rich that his wealth is estimated to be between $190 million and $250 million. Want to know how he made all that money? Here are some of his current and former investments:
There's enough in there to anger both the right and the left, particularly because Evangelicals are getting all worked up about Darfur these days. Mo' money, mo' problems, I guess.
Laura RozenAug. 14, 2007 10:54 AM
Worth reading: Jay Rosen on how Karl Rove figured out that the national press would never cover the extent of his extremism and tactics. Rosen cites from Joshua Green's 2004 Atlantic Monthly profile of Rove:
He seems to understandindeed, to count onthe media's unwillingness or inability, whether from squeamishness, laziness, or professional caution, ever to give a full estimate of him or his work. It is ultimately not just Rove's skill but his character that allows him to perform on an entirely different plane. Along with remarkable strategic skills, he has both an understanding of the media's unstated self-limitations and a willingness to fight in territory where conscience forbids most others.
Meantime, the Weekly Standard is now playing Joseph McCarthy. Figuring in the same way as Rove that the press and polite establishment will never call them on the depths of their extremism and propaganda. (Remember "Case Closed"?) Which is why, as he relentlessly mocks and exposes this absurd and dangerous state of affairs, Atrios is right, a wise man, if not a Very Serious Person.

There are no reservations but if you go at slightly alternative times getting in shouldn't be a problem.
