To add to my previous point:
It may be true that those over there do not share the same values as the western world, but it shouldn't be so violent. It would seem like to me that the dictatorships are effectively using radical elements of their beliefs to portray the western world as being out to destroy everything they stand for, and that the world will end if they even consider agreeing to anything those nations have to say and offer. It doesn't help when there is a strong anti-islamic sentiment that does exist in the United States.
We can look at other examples. The Soviet Union portrayed the Americans as imperialistic oppressors that made life terrible for its citizens. And of course their country was kicking that other country's ass in everything. We did the same.
North Korea would have propaganda about how stuff like foreign entertainment was inferior (implying that outsiders were imperialistic aggressors that were jealous. )
So I guess you could definitely replace radical Islam with [insert ideology here] but some are sadly more convenient to use. One's spiritual beliefs are the closest to one's emotions and are far easier to trigger.

As far as I know, military power is what actually keeps dictators in their seats. The long-serving dictators in ME don't really portray themselves as divine-inspired. Dictators don't use religion to portray the West as evil imperialists. They just need to teach history to the kids. Only Iran is a real theocracy, but only because they went through an Islamic Revolution.
While religion is certainly a significant force in driving hostility between the West and the Muslim world, I think you have overstated the influence of religion in their government.

In Muslim countries, they do indeed use piety to help generate more anti-American sentiments. It is a contributing factor. They will use things like a rampant porn industry and abortion being legalized to help rally devout Muslim people to be against western civilization. But it is so much more than just merely these things that have many Muslims hating westerners. A lot of that is due to their leaders grossly misrepresenting westerners on the whole. I agree with what some people just posted, a lot of their hate isn't really justified, but rather created because their leaders (government and religious leaders) absolutely portray westerners in the worst ways they can. A lot of Muslims who are very isolated from the global community think virtually all westerners are terrible, bad people because their leaders portray them to be that way, which is very unfortunate.
It bothers me when this bigot said this complete BS about the 9/11 attacks being because of things like abortion being legal and gays being in American society and being tolerated. Was that Jerry Falwell?

Force and coercion is certainly one way to keep in power, but it's only part of the equation. How many leaders throughout history have seized power by force, only to be overthrown or assassinated? A leader has to try and establish some kind of legitimacy even though it might be bullshit. Kim Jong Il had his cult of personality. Hitler and Stalin portrayed themselves as saviors of their own countries.
When I mean Divine Right, I mean that they basically assert the cause that God is on their side. Death to the infidel has long been a battlecry.
I mean sure, the West have tried to impose their hegemony on this area, but they are certainly not the evil monsters they portray us, or at least not as much as the evil monsters the Fox News pundits would love you to believe Islam is.
Coercion and force can only go so far. After all, nobody wants to see themselves as evil. Armies don't fight of their own accord. You can't just intimidate soldiers all the time especially if they figure they can just kill you and assume power. What works better than a million soldiers is fear. First, fear of authority. What's even better than that? Fear of the enemy, so they will have to rely on authority. And when they believe this is just... then violence occurs. The War on Terrorism is the same thing.
You cannot hold down a people simply by force. Just look at Iraq. The US may have defeated Iraq's army quickly and made taking over the country look easy, but to this very day, even with the most advanced military in the world couldn't constantly keep order-- it was still a clusterfuck years after the invasion started. If the people see a need to resist when pushed, they will. It's easy to kill people, keeping them under control is another story.

One factor I seldom see mentioned regarding muslim perceptions of America is that many of the dictatorships actually do have close ties to the US. There's a widespread perception that a major cause of the corrupt regimes there is American thirst for oil.
So if you're an extremist, instead of fighting in Saudi Arabia itself, where you'd be killing other muslims, you go attack their benefactor and draw them into a war that will leave them a husk of what they once were, unable to support the regimes they once did. That's essentially Al Queda's endgame. It's no surprise that many of its leaders are guys fought the almighty Russians in Afghanistan and won. They think since God willed they can beat the Russians, the same will apply to the other meddling infidels as well.
This is also why the only US interventions that muslims really appreciated are those that took place in Yugoslavia. Muslim dictators kill a lot of muslims too, when the US takes one out it's all to easy to say "they only did it because he stepped out of line".
And with that I'm not going to post for a while... term paper due in two weeks.

The news however came too late for early newspaper editions, which focused largely on Premier Wen Jiabao's news conference following a parliamentary annual session held yesterday morning.
There has been intense speculation about Bo Xilai's position since February when his former chief of police spent a few hours at a US consulate in Sichuan Province, provoking rumours that he was seeking asylum. He is also thought to have upset some in the leadership with a high profile campaign against corruption and a revival of Maoist ideology.
more then anything else this is why he is gone. too many people who live through the culture revolution don't want to see a sequel.

This being China, there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Most likely the faction that Bo Xilai champions for is losing the power struggle. We may never learn the real reason of his downfall.

Tells me who's calling the shots for more than one government, and it isn't "the people". :P
The ruling judge appears to have been a technical idiot (we have so many) but the Home Secretary was probably scotching up a few brownie points at the expense of this young man. The bad precedent for Animesuki is that its going to have be extra wary of hosting *any links* related to material originally produced by a company with any US basing (e.g. Sony).
Seriously, this is way out of hand. Arrested for *links* to copyright violation locations?

A copyright violator isn't likely to be given the death penalty.
Most of the others are handed over like pulling teeth because of the moral differences on the death penalty between the US and other countries.

Snapped by a DC cop as it passed by.... maybe extremists are going to stop pretending with all the word misuse (socialist, nazi, etc) and just misuse words they really mean:
So.... more disturbing the SUV's owner thinks its okay to mount it on his car or more disturbing that someone sold it as a product?
Edit: hmm, perhaps this belongs in the elections thread...

Buffalo Football Report: Do you see any of the quarterbacks on Buffalo's roster entering next season as the starter?
Adam Caplan: No, I don't see any of the quarterbacks on Buffalo's roster having a realistic chance to start. Ryan Fitzpatrick has already shown that he's nothing better than a backup. He clearly doesn't have a good enough arm or accuracy. Trent Edwards has decent upside, but unless the new coaching staff is going to give him a better chance, he'll be just a backup. Brian Brohm must be in a system that calls for him to throw shorter passes. He simply can't drive the ball downfield.
BFR: A lot of people in these parts, including myself, can't understand why the Bills don't give the ball to Fred Jackson more? Any idea why the team hasn't featured him as a centerpiece of the offense?
Caplan: It's simply puzzling why Jackson hasn't been the featured back this season. He clearly can sustain drives with his power running, and has good enough versatility to help in the passing game. He also is a decent blocker. I think we've seen enough from Marshawn Lynch to know he's not a starting running back at this level. This current coaching staff doesn't really seem to have an idea of what they want to do on offense.
BFR: Aaron Maybin has been a major disappointment as a rookie this season, still failing to record one sack. Is this solely a product of missing out on all of training camp or is it safe to say he will never be the premier pass rusher the Bills hope for?
Caplan: They reached terribly for Maybin. While he does have a decent upside, he's a raw prospect who needs a lot of work. The right pick would have been defensive end Brian Orakpo. Maybin's problem has been that he overruns plays and has a lack of discipline when on his pass rush. He needs to get stronger physically. He's a long way from being a true starter at the NFL level.
BFR: Speaking of rookies, safety Jairus Byrd has been phenomenal here this season. He was put on injured reserve this week, but has been a ballhawk all year. What are your thoughts on him?
Caplan: Usually positioned correctly, which is usually a problem for young safeties. And he closes on the ball well. He learned well from his father, Gill, who was a solid defensive back for the San Diego Chargers for many years.
BFR: Is there any hope for James Hardy, the receiver Buffalo drafted in the second round two years ago?
Caplan: Not much because he's slow. Hardy has trouble getting off press coverage and has trouble beating defenders consistently off the snap. I don't see him being much of a contributor through the end of his rookie contract. I think WR Steve Johnson actually has more talent.
Stay tuned to the BFR early next week for Part II.-------------------------------------------------

text: Politics 28 June 2011 The Afghan Badlands and Wikipedia David Miliband on a decade of "asymmetric decay". Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Speaking last night, David Miliband outlined the reasons why he believes the last decade has been the most traumatic for the west since the 1930s. At an event organised by Intelligence Squared, titled Ten Years after 9/11: The World Remade, the former foreign secretary gave a breakdown of what he described as the "degeneration" of old power structures, and stressed the importance of recognising the need for coherent global interdependence. Miliband argued that over the past decade, three key features of the international stage have been eroded: Firstly, the historic dominance of the United States; secondly, the shift in the balance of power as a result of this, and thirdly, the deterioration of shared sovereignty in the European Union. He described America as "a reluctant empire" that has had an increasing focus on internal affairs since Bill Clinton ended his second term. No cogent enemies have raised the US ire other than disparate groups inhabiting the Afghan "Badlands", these semi-independent factions being taken on by the American government in an al-Qaeda instigated "detour" of foreign policy. Miliband likened the sum of individual acts of anarchy against the west to the domination of Microsoft's failed online encyclopaedia by the publicly edited Wikipedia, a relationship he termed "asymmetric decay". He highlighted what he called a "fundamental divide between politicians and academics over how to create an interdependent world". Some prefer to cling to the cosy notion of the nation-state, Miliband said, while progressive groups expound the virtues of shared sovereignty and a recognition of the increasing role of the individual. "When we talk about the balance of power we have to talk about people not just states," he said. "The west is going to have to rediscover the joys of multilateralism." › Bin Laden's death will have little bearing on 2012 Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles Jeremy Corbyn fares well in his toughest interview yet The 5 things the Tories aren't telling you about their manifesto Jeremy Corbyn's speech on terrorism will do him more good than harm

text: SEATTLE, Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care, announced today that it is now accepting applications from local Seattle nonprofit organizations for 2013 Novo Nordisk Community Care sponsorships. Through the sponsorships, Novo Nordisk will invest $80,000 to support local organizations that educate people living with type 2 diabetes. For more information about the sponsorship criteria and to download an application form, interested nonprofit organizations should visit http://www.novonordisk-us.com/communitycare. Applications are due September 16, 2013. "More than 670,000 Washingtonians are projected to have diabetes by 2015," said Diana Blankman, Director, US Corporate Giving and Social Impact at Novo Nordisk. "The diabetes epidemic is not slowing down. At Novo Nordisk, we consider it our duty to continue to work closely with these community-based organizations that are vital to creating change in diabetes education from the ground up." Since the program's inception in 2011, Novo Nordisk Community Care has awarded nearly $715,000 to organizations in nine markets across the country and has sponsored more than 36 diverse community-based programs. Last year's sponsored programs were selected for their distinctive applications focused on education and resources for patients, ranging from healthy living educational workshops and dance classes, community health advocate/peer mentor training and patient empowerment programs. This year, Novo Nordisk will offer new sponsorship opportunities to eligible nonprofit organizations dedicated to educating and empowering patients in Seattle to become more engaged in their health and management of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become a global health crisis and is taking a major toll on our communities, including Seattle. A recent model from the Institute for Alternative Futures, commissioned by Novo Nordisk, estimates that the number of Americans living with diabetes will increase 64 percent between 2010 and 2025, affecting more than 53 million people. And, in Washington, it's estimated that the number of people with diabetes will increase 88 percent between 2010 and 2025, to affect more than 975,000 people, including more than 500,000 people in Seattle. This dramatic increase could mean a total of $9.6 billion in total medical and indirect societal costs of diabetes for the state of Washington by 2025. About Novo Nordisk

HowTo Start a SpiceCorps group in Orlando, FL for the IT side of an SAP environment...is this too spacific ?
2 Replies
Aug 19, 2011 at 10:28 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
SpiceCorps of Orlando is already one of the most active SpiceCorps. David Scammell can fill you in on meeting details.
Aug 21, 2011 at 12:08 UTC
Hello Scott, Thanks for the heads up and yes I started using SpiceWorks 2 months ago. I have been to 2 SpiceCorps of Orlando meetings AND after I posted this question...THAT is when I went to my 2nd SpiceCorps of Orlando meeting where David S. took my request to have a local SAP vendor come in however I am looking I guess for a more SAP centric or focused SpiceCorps...I'm thinking maybe it would not be a SpiceCorps but maybe more a straight just SAP UserGroup of Central FL Meetup Group and not limit to only SpiceWorks users...

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Healthy Back Institute431 Pine St., Ste. 321 Burlington, Vermont USA
Healthy Back Institute Will not refund for returned product Burlington Vermont
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered a trial of the company's "Heal-n-soothe" product for my wife. She was out of town and did not return for about 3 weeks after the order was placed. The product was supposed to help with her back pain. I wanted to allow her to use up the supply sent to us to give it a chance to work. It did not provide any relief for her.
Before using up the supply, we received another package from the company. I assumed it was more of the same product, but since I had not ordered any more I took it to the post office unopened and had it returned to sender. I then phoned the company to explain and request a refund (they charged the credit card I used for the initial trial).
Before phoning them, I tried to use their web link to "create a support ticket." That link does not work. They have no email address, so the only way I could contact them is by phone.
The represntative I talked to was adamant that the company policy is to begin sending and charging for a new supply after 30 days unless the order is cancelled, and does not refund for any supply that has been mailed, even if it is returned. To be fair, that policy is clearly stated on the website, but I feel that any business should be willing to refund for a purchase if the item is returned to them. Legally, perhaps they do not have to refund my purchase price, but it seems to me to be poor business practice to refuse to refund a customer's money if we return the product unopened.
So I would warn others that if they order a trial of any of Healthy Back Institute's procucts, be sure to phone and cancel before the trial period ends if you do not want to pay for additional product. Also we were disappointed that the product did not provide any help for my wife's back pain, but of course that does not necessarily mean it may not work for others.

How to Read your Date's Body Language
Is Your Date a Liar?
How do you accurately read your date's body language? Rather than falling prey to charm and verbal seduction tactics, be observant and trust your instincts. A little knowledge of body language can help you see the reality of a potential partner's character or intentions. For example, your date might be saying: "I really like your hair," while flicking a hand dismissively, or suddenly for no reason, twitching a leg, or kicking a foot.
When Things do not Add Up
How do you Know?
How do you know when your date is not being sincere? Watch: where is the attention, the focus? They may be sidetracked by the competition parading by.
Famous modern dance choreographer Martha Graham once said: "The body can not lie". Instinctively we all converse in body language. Noticing the meaning of certain position, gestures, expressions and involuntary knee jerking and leg twitching requires some observation skills. Yet because body language is inborn, even in animals, learning more about it is just a re-affirmation of what your own body and its subconscious mind already knows. Body language is hidden in the genes.
To check up on your awareness of your date's body language, ask yourself the following six questions.
Six Questions
1. The Eyes. Concentrate on the eyes, where do they focus? Are they evasive, looking away or wide open, making friendly eye contact with you?
2. Direction. Which direction is your date facing? A are you sitting side by side, each facing your own way like equal buddies? Or is your date facing you in opposition?
3. Openness. Is your date's posture and position open, welcoming, assertive and approachable or closed up, frightened and introvert?
4. Twitching. Does your date have involuntary twitches, like aimless foot kicking or leg twitching without being aware of it? Or chewing on the fingers or nails? Or other irritating unconscious habits?
5. Honesty. Does your date's body language agree or contradict what the person is saying? Like the politician who says: "We are giving the issue utmost priority!" sitting cross-legged inadvertently kicking the issue away with the twitch of a kicking foot.
6. Compatibility. And finally, does the date's body language synchronize with your own, or do they move in opposition, against your positions, directions faced, and movements?
How Compatible Is Your Date?

Who is Wearing the Pants?
Confidence Versus Shyness
Someone who feels good in their body, is confident, open, well centered and physically balanced, is more likely to be good potential for a possible future relationship. If, on the other hand, the date is shy, introvert, sits all hunched up, looking beaten down and afraid of life, perhaps that date is a no-no. Of course there are extreme cases at both ends of the spectrum. A loud-mouthed, over-confident, boasting date with an almost violent style body language will, in the long run, probably turn out to become a control freak. A shy person, on the other hand, may have some characteristic treasures in store yet to be discovered. The fine nuances to look for may be found by looking at how someone uses their personal space.
Your Personal Space
You may believe that a person's body occupies the amount of space it needs from head to toe and as far as the limbs can reach out into space, but it does not stop there. Although that space is fixed by the size of the body and could be measured with a ruler, as soon as you begin to move and act, so your personal space also begins to change and grow or shrink according to how you behave in various circumstances. So while you are studying your date's body language, be well aware of your own. Let us look closer at your personal space, sometimes called the aura.
The Aura
The aura is personal space around the body. We use it all the time when moving, breathing, speaking, shouting or jumping, or relaxing. The aura may project itself far beyond the limits of the physical body itself. It can change in size and density.
You may act big or small and you can, to a certain degree, control who or what enters or has an influence on your personal space, the aura. Expanding your aura involves projecting energy coming from the gut: the whole body, heart and soul. The allure of great actors and the grace of dancers depend on this. You too can expand your aura, grow from within to discover and express your personality. The aura is used either to enhance a statement you feel is important, or to protect yourself from harm. To experience this for yourself imagine the two extremes of your body:
- huddle up into a little ball in fright, in the corner of a small dark room.
- take a huge jump in the air with your legs and arms wide open in a star shape.
Somewhere in between, your choice can be applied to every day situations.
For example, whenever standing in an airport queue, why not take a strong, outward growing aura? When really bored, you may even physically imagine taking grands jetés across the diagonal of the giant check-in hall. It sure keeps the queue crowd at a respectable distance.Try it, play with your aura. It's a real fun way to pass waiting time!
Body Language is Communication
Body language is a two-way process. Just as in a verbal conversation, much of your date's body language is a direct response to your own behavior. Here is a chance to communicate on a nonverbal level that reaches your date's subconscious mind. If your own aura is set to block out messages, then however hard your date is trying, his or her messages won't come across. You, the receiving end, can learn how to be open and welcoming, how to throw off all unnecessary baggage and barriers. Then, your mutual body language interaction becomes a true and honest conversation. In other words, neither be too shy nor too pushy; listen and look attentively.
Do not fake it. Many public figures trained in good body language come across as fake. With motionless hands, unblinking eyes, botoxed frowns, and fast speaking lips, they seem robotic, almost as unreal as victims of plastic surgery.

What Not to do on a Date
Dating Etiquette and Timing
And finally, without respecting plain ordinary dating etiquette, you won't be asked to date again.
So what is dating etiquette?
- Focus on your date without distraction.
- Listen to what your partner is saying.
- When a thought pops up in your head, do not interrupt.
- Store your thought until they finish saying what they want to say and listen.
Often the thought you had in mind is no longer relevant by the time your interlocutor has finished speaking. Listening and timing is crucial in effectively interacting with a date.
To Conclude
How to Read Your Date's Body Language involves awareness of your own body language. Foot kicking and leg twitching and other such involuntary behavior can easily be spotted. In this process we can become aware of our own twitches an eliminate those. Follow good etiquette for a successful dating experience. And lastly, the aura is a great asset in body language. The aura is the spotlight on your personality.

Body language speaks volumes. People with open palms and good posture are ususally a pleasure to be around. On the other hand, people who are always touching their face (or rubbing their ear) may be lettting you know they're not particularly honest. The list goes on...
Thanks for writing about this matter, Sue Adams. By the way, I think the aura thing is relevant, as well.
The tips you have here could really be help to those who are currently dating with a person they're not yet familiar with. Always pay attention to your date's body language. The person might be bored or he may turn out to be interested in you. There are just so many body gestures that mean so many things. You could get some tips on reading a person's body language on http://wannareadyou.com/.
Like Cagsil said, now he doesn't have to write it. Lol
Thanks very much, very insightful!
interesting i will definitely try this out, i hope i ace it and get good results! thanks for sharing
Hey Sue, this goes right along with my hub on "People Watchers". It's always important to read people. It's important to understand that not everyone is always truthful with their words, because of different motivations in each person. How to read your date's body language is how one gains insight to those they are with at the time. Excellent Hub! :) Absolutely Awesome! Thumbs Up! :) Thank you so very much for posting this hub. I now do not have to write it. LOL! :)
Some very good tips here. I can't stand bu..sh.t from new dates. I am never impressed by verboholics so it's a good idea to make a judgement based on body language. Like you say... the body cannot lie. You can even distinguish between honest body language and learnt mannerisms (which are the worst).
Thanks for the tips Sue. I'll know what to look out for now on my next date.

Tabitha Stepple was remembered Wednesday as a shy and loving toddler who blossomed into an outgoing, determined, "brown-haired Barbie."
"Tabitha was incredibly full of life," said older sister, Teresa Kleinfeld, her arms embracing Ms. Stepple's two other siblings as they delivered the eulogy at the murder victim's funeral in Lethbridge. "She carried herself well. She stood up for herself and for what she knew to be right and what she believed in."
The 21-year-old was shot to death last week by her former boyfriend, who also killed Tanner Craswell and Mitch MacLean, two up-and-coming baseball players originally from Prince Edward Island. Mr. Craswell's girlfriend, Shayna Conway, was seriously wounded in the Dec. 15 attack on a darkened southern Alberta highway, just north of Claresholm.
Derek Jensen rammed Ms. Stepple's vehicle, which was carrying the group of friends bound for the Calgary airport where the young men planned to catch a flight home for Christmas. After the massacre, Mr. Jensen shot himself to death.
Steve Bateman, one of two pastors who officiated the hour-long service at the Evangelical Free Church in front of 850 mourners, offered condolences to the MacLeans and the Craswells, as well as well-wishes to Ms. Conway for a fast and full recovery. There was no mention of Mr. Jensen or his family.
"We live in a dark world and the events of the past week have been a powerful reminder of that darkness in this community," Mr. Bateman told congregants.
Pastor Ian Lawson acknowledged that there are those who will want to know why this tragedy occurred at all.
"Any attempts to answer will seem hollow and trivial at a time like this," he said, "The questions are real and they are appropriate. We're here to support the Stepple family at this time of unimaginable grief."
Ms. Stepple was recalled as a typical teenager who once threw a massive house party, had slipped out with boys and did doughnuts in a parking lot. She was a dancer and a snowboarder. She once was afraid of clowns, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. She enjoyed holidays at the family cabin in the mountains.
She was mature beyond her years and persuasive – so persuasive that after three days of pestering her father Randy for a dog, Mya, a tiny terrier, came into their lives. Cradled in the arms of a friend, Mya acted as an honorary pallbearer.
Ms. Stepple's mother, Renae, tearfully recited the poem I'm Everyplace to her daughter.
"I loved my Tabitha so much," she said, weeping, "I just want to thank you all for coming here to be with Tabitha."
Ms. Stepple was remembered as fiercely protective of her little brother, Nelson.
"We will always miss you," he said to his big sister, "We will never forget you and we will carry you in our hearts always."
Before the white casket, adorned with pink gerbera daisies, was whisked from the church, mourners watched a brief video that Ms. Stepple took of herself.
A cellphone camera placed on a vehicle dashboard captures a confident young woman grooving to the music and mugging for the camera.
And for a few minutes, everyone laughed.Report Typo/Error

Curbishley was a relieved man after Charlton's first win in five games against Everton ended their slide down the table.
Mathias Svensson's eighth-minute header was enough to end a run of just one point from four games and ease fears of a repeat of two years ago when the Addicks went 11 games without a win on their way straight back out of the Premiership.
With 25 points from 19 games and just one league defeat at home this season, Curbishley's half-term report would have made fairly satisfactory reading.
But the Addicks boss knows his side's awful away form must improve if they are to climb out of the bottom half of the table.
He is optimistic that the away form will take a distinct turn for the better against the Hammers - the club where he began his career as a trainee and which he still supports today.
"The way they've been playing I think we've got a tough game," said Curbishley, who spent six years with West Ham.
"Harry's been saying consistently they're going to be a top-six club, so we know we've got a game on our hands.
"Our home form has been solid. I am worried that we've lost five on the spin away, I must admit. But I've not been worried about the performances.
"If we'd lost five on the spin and they'd not been playing well and not trying then that's a different kettle of fish. I think some of the results have been very distorted.
"There was last week, for instance, at Leicester and certainly the Liverpool one and even when we played at Everton early on in the season.
"I can make as many excuses as I like for the away form, but you wake up in the morning and you haven't won and that's the main thing.
"Maybe it's our turn to go to Upton Park and win against the run of play."

"We are so dead," Grace said, nervously biting her cherry-red nails.
Anne Marie, walked out of the bathroom as we passed it, fixing her hair.
"You look like a mess," I said, handing her a comb.
I saw Griffin run the opposite way.
"She looks like a slut, you mean," Grace told me.
"Shut up, "Anne Marie said.
"You are such a bitch."
"I know."
"Would you two shut the fuck up?"
They groaned. I wished Stacey was here. That would be the only way I could ignore them. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail, and fixed the make-up surrounding my navy blue eyes.
"Shitlord," Anne Marie whispered, looking at how short her skirt was.
"Who the hell says shitlord?" I mumbled.
She ignored me, trying to pull her skirt down.
"Please tell me you're wearing underwear," I said, making sure I was.
Yup, my Hello Kitty panties smiled at me.
"I think I left them in the bathroom."
"Holy crap," Grace said, "this is disgusting."
Anne Marie asked if I carried around an extra pair of panties. Obviously not.
"Weirdo," I chimed.
Anne Marie groaned, squeezing her legs together, trying to walk normally. Grace opened the office door. We pushed Anne Marie in first, trying to squeeze through the door together.
"Hello, girls," said Mrs. Vanderbrook, "please take a seat."
We sat on the cushioney chairs by her desk. She smiled at us.
"Your roomate, Stacey Michaels, is returning today. You probably don't know why she went to Seattle suddenly, right?"
"Yes, m'am," Anne Marie answered for us.
"Good, that's how it's supposed to be. I called you down here to tell you not to question her or ask her how her trip's been. I am just giving you permission to pick her up this evening. I expect you three will be back late. You probably have some type of cathcing up to do."
We nodded.
"Ok," she said, writing us a pass so the guard would let us in at night, "have fun."
I smiled, taking the three passes. We left the office.
"What a freak," Grace mumbled.
"No, duh? She seems suspicious of something. Like we murdered someone or something..."
"Which we didn't," I butted in, feeling nervous.
"Of course," Grace said.
After school, I went back into the dorm with Anne Marie and Grace. There were two bunkbeds in the room. Grace slept on a top bunk, with Stacey on the bottom bunk. I slept on the top bunk with Anne Marie on the bottom. Jake and I had fallen asleep on Stacey's bed and I hoped she wouldn't mind.
"I feel like we're in deep shit," Anne Marie said, unbuttoning her shirt sitting on the bed in her cami and skirt.
"Why?" Grace asked, still in her uniform.
Anne Marie shrugged.
"Annie, honey," I said, "shut up. We're fine. Nobody knows anything."
I climbed to the top bunk, changing into my denim shorts and loose, white transparent tank top. My red and white polkadot bra was visible. Obviously, that didn't matter since we were all really close. But it did matter when Jake came in. Well, not to me. But to him. Grace opened the door when he knocked.
"So," he said, glancing at our clothes on the ground, "we're not gonna be able to work on the report tonight, right?"
"No, I gotta pick up Stacey. But, we could work on it now. I totally forgot about that. Sorry, my Jakey-poo."
I jumped off my bed, landing on my feet (luckily).
"Please don't do anything now," Grace said, "I got enough from Anne."
"We're not," I said.
I grabbed my laptop bag and sat on the floor with Jake, who was dressed in a white v-neck and jeans, looking hot as usual. His deep green eyes and dark hair entranced me. He was beautiful. I lost myself for sec. Sorry.
"Where's Grif?" Anne Marie asked.
"I don't know. In his room, probably. You're pretty stupid, Annie."
"Um, please. Look at you."
She stormed out of the room. Grace watched her leave and then looked at us.
"This is awkward," she said, "I'm gonna go to the lobby."
"Why is this awkward?" I asked.
She shrugged and left, too. Jake grinned at me.
"Don't you dare look at me like that," I said, typing.
"I'm not doing anything," he said.
I felt his warm, soft fingers run down some of my bare back.
"You're doing that," I whispered.
I started to type, ignoring the fact that I really wanted to kiss him. He brushed my hair back.
"You know, you smell really good today?"
"Really. You smell good all the time."
"Shut up and help me," I said.
He took the laptop and typed a little. And I looked at him. I wanted him. But I remembered Stacey had a major crush on him since first grade. She was oblivious to the way we acted around each other. And the sad thing was that he knew she liked him too.
"You know," I said, saving our work, "since Stacey is coming back today, you can't act like this around me."
"Act like what?"
"Act like you like me and stuff."
I was getting pissed.
"I don't like you."
"Um, yes you do."
"How do you know?"
He was grinning.
"You always stare at me... always stare at me with those green eyes. And you talk to me like this. And... yesterday..."
"You wanted yesterday to never have happened..."
"But... eww, shut up..."
"Admit it, you like me."
"I don't. And I'll never. We just have to finish this report."
I reached for the laptop, but he stopped me.
"Jakey," I whined, to annoy him.
"Haley," he whined, back.
Ignoring the fact that Stacey was devoted to him, I kissed him. And he kissed me back, passionately. Tongue involved. I held his face in my hands. He moved to my neck, helping me slip out of my tank top. He kissed the fabric that held my bra together. His lips felt nice against mine and my skin. I heard him breathe hard. And for once, I felt like giving into him. But I couldn't and I didn't. I pulled back.
"What's wrong?" he asked, sincerely worried.
"Stacey," I said, "and us."

After a few emails and phone calls we finally got the word - we'd been knocked back for this trip but should be free and clear to travel in 2008. However that was last Wednesday, so by that stage it was far too late to do anything anyway, hence we packed up and started our road trip. I can't say I'm not annoyed, disappointed and upset, but it's a hurdle in the path of life and hurdles are made to be leapt over. As I've told people, we've not cancelled, we' ve rescheduled. Plus I get to visit my dear ole ma, so that's a good thing in itself.
However a lot of people I know did visit the convention. Some of the reports were good, some weren't. My good pal, Steven Bove, went and emailed me this report and photo of himself and Michael Netzer and invited me to share it with the world. Have a read, Steven's report might hit a spot in a lot of people, but they might not want to admit it...
That World Inside
I haven't been to a comic convention in many years. The last one was in 2005 and that doesn't count as I ran in for 10 minutes to get Marshall Rogers autograph. This time I would spend hours and this would turn out to be my personal form of hell.
I went to meet up with Internet friends Michael Netzer, Daniel Best and Tim Gasco. I was really looking forward to this meeting because we all similar experiences through comics. This was intriguing to me considering that we were all over the place, geographically speaking. I missed Tim, and Daniel couldn't make it so there I was in NYC on Sunday about to meet Michael Netzer.
The show was at the Penn Plaza Pavilion across from Madison Square Garden. I'd been here a few times in the past when the shows were much bigger and didn't rely on sexy females to sell tickets. I have no problem with that but when your top billed celebrity is the cheerleader from Heroes then the convention really isn't about comics is it?
I bought my ticket and made my way through the costumed (and somewhat old) attendees* and found my way to the artists' alley on the lower level. This was the first of two spaces and there were names I recognized along with names I didn't. All were drawing and chatting with the crowd. But where were the kids with their portfolios looking to show this group of talented illustrators their work and get advice on how to improve? I didn't see them and that was strange to me. There use to be hundreds and I was one of them.
Michael was upstairs so I made my way through the costumes and swords (yikes!) and found not only Netzer but also the reason why there were no kids with portfolios around. The wannabes had become self-published creators selling their printed material. This idea was certainly not exclusive to comics so I gave it no further thought and went to meet my friend from Israel.
Michael Netzer has an aura that radiates intelligence and wit that you get just from his smile and handshake. Smaller than I imagined he still stands taller than most of the people around him. We spoke briefly about the look of comics today and he did agree with my assessment that much of the work looks like fashion illustration, good poses but not really doing much on the page. He introduced me to an associate of his and I can't say he was all that friendly. In fact he was quite cold and somewhat smug. I wondered why, but I'd run into this attitude before, as it was a kind of a comics' snobbery.
I left Michael to his sketch work and started to look for another friend I expected. Everywhere I went there were people made up in costumes and living fictional lives. It made me wonder what exactly was to be achieved by such worship of fictional worlds? Would anyone of these adults end up as a writer, artist or musician? Would any of them move beyond the worlds they obsessed? I'd seen this many years before and I too once wore the badge of obsession over comics but eventually the craft (in my case) took over to drive me in different directions. But here was a generation that had taken the idea of obsession to a new level.
At this point all I wanted was a copy of V For Vendetta and I found it quickly and very cheaply. That was always the great thing about Sunday; the high prices of Friday and Saturday would all but disappear. I couldn't find my friend so I sat in the lobby of the hotel as the cheerleader floated by wearing a bright red coat and black pumps. People in the lobby applauded as she passed and I wondered if she had cured cancer and no one had told me about it.
I wandered into the set up for a lecture by a favorite artist from the 60s. He'd aged since the last time I'd seen him and the wig he wore was starting to look preposterous. He wouldn't be the only one. I turned away and saw a face I hadn't seen in over a decade. James Fry is one of the great comic artist's of the late 80s and 90s and we shared a friendship with a special person now departed. I sat next to him and he recognized me immediately. We spoke of so many things in the short conversation we had. Sometimes thing like that happen and a shorthand language emerges to compensate for the years. That's how it was. I hope we get to talk again.
As I went into the hallway I had to stay clear of a light saber duel and the storm trooper who seemed to be standing watch in the main lobby. It seemed like everyone was handing me cards and material of all kinds promoting products I didn't understand or really wanted. Most of it seemed homemade with amateurish art and over rendered Photoshop color. I had to get out. I had something to eat and cleared my pockets of all the crap given to me.
I returned to the show and saw Michael Netzer in proximity of a rather famous artist of the past whom he once worked with. I offered to make a photo of the two of them but was told by Michael that the artist was in a negative frame of mind. He said I should say hello and cheer him up. I had planed to do so as I wanted to compliment the artist on his commercials utilizing a Bee.
That started a discussion on the Bee and the direction a new agency had taken it in. It also made the artist continually promote his product and push the 'sell'. This kind of sales tactic is old news to me after my years in marketing so after 15 minutes I found a space in the artists lecture and said thank you and left. Again there was that sense of smugness and I was glad I didn't bring up the movie the commercials obviously influenced.
I wanted to make some pictures of people but was told that I had to pay for that privilege. I was taken aback by requests for $25 and said no. Then I was hit by the amount of men (some I once knew in comics) all wearing wigs designed to fight the passing of the years. It was obvious that it wasn't working and if I knew it so did others.
Meanwhile Michael was entertaining a group of kids with his art and stories. Every sketch he made would be passed on to young hands. I saw no money exchanged. These were the fond memories I had of conventions long forgotten and how it was once about the craft. What I saw around me now was about the buck and false professionalism.
It was all too much so I said my goodbyes to Michael and hit the streets of NYC. I thought I'd go to Virgin Music on Time Square but that turned out to be a larger disappointment to me than the convention. Music seemed to be an afterthought to clothes, games and DVDs. It was all one big tourist trap and it just felt dirty.
On the train home I remembered a question Michael had asked me and I didn't answer. He asked why I wasn't trying to find work in the comics' field. The answer is that the language of comics is no longer something I can relate to. It's moved on and become a new form of communication based on a new generation of readers with a new style of speech, art and desires. In going to the convention I wasn't looking for the past but I was shocked by the present and obvious future of the industry.
I had let that industry go a long time ago. That was the realization I had made.
*I have to admit I cannot understand, for the life of me, why people over the age of say, 16, dress up as a Jedi, or a Stormtrooper or a comic book character and then go out into public. I know I recently wore a wookie costume, but that was intended for a costume party and I only wore it to my pals comic shop because I was asked to as they wanted to entertain kids for Free Comic Book Day. There's no way I'd wake up and go, "Hey, let's whack that wookie suit on and got to a convention for shits and giggles." It doesn't work for me really. And there's no way I'd dress up in anything where my face was showing for all the world to see...ye Gods!

This poker game is no longer available.
Please visit our poker games section for more information
Also called "Manila" or "Stripped Deck" poker was originally made popular in Australian casinos. It's called stripped deck poker because all cards raked below 8 are taken out of the deck making for stronger hands.
Also, because of the fewer cards, flushes beat full houses. Aces may not be used to make low straights.
Play begins when the two players to the direct left of the dealer post blinds. The player to the direct left posts the small blind while the player two to the left posts the big blind. Players wishing to participate in the hand must match or raise the amount of the big blind in order to participate.
All players are then dealt 5 cards for which to play. The action begins from the player who left of the big blind. Each player must then choose one of the following actions:
- Call: matching the amount of the big blind
- Raise: Increasing the amount of money players must call to participate by at least twice the size of the big blind.
- Fold: Throwing away their cards and waiting for a preferable hand.
After the round of betting is complete, players may then discard between 0 and 5 cards for which they will receive new cards from the dealer to replace them.
After players receive their new cards, the final round of betting ensues which begins with the player sitting on the direct left of the dealer.

"I am going to be a 'Dog," said Cleveland in his first interview since making the change. "Coach (Dan) Mullen and them just left and I am real excited about visiting there this weekend.
"Coach Mullen came in and told me all about what they were about.
"I feel like I have made the best decision for me."
The decision to defect from the ranks of the Georgia Tech committed was not something Cleveland took lightly.
"I really just had a change of heart," said Cleveland. "My coach, my DBs coach, is not going to be there anymore and he was a big part of my decision.
"I just felt like I needed to look at some other options and I have been thinking about this for a while now."
Cleveland earned an offer from Mississippi State after a strong camp showing in June.
Despite his commitment to Georgia Tech, the Bulldogs continued their pursuit.
"Mississippi State stayed in touch with me some," explained Cleveland. "I started really talking to them when I thought about looking at other schools.
"I called the coaches at Georgia Tech this morning and told them that I was going to decommit.
"I told Mississippi State I was ready to be a Bulldog and they were excited."
Cleveland will visit Starkville this weekend to learn more about his college home.
"I am ready to get down there to learn more about what they want from me athletically and academically," said Cleveland. "I am looking forward to it.
"My family supports my decision 100%. They left it all in my hands and they said that they just want me to be happy with what ever I decided to do."

They are taxing everything for redistribution. When will the rest of America realize what a Marxist Obama is?
AaronAugust 24, 2010, 10:05am (report abuse)
As a gun owner I took interest on this when I saw it coming from washington watch. At first I saw it as a threat as I read the bill, but then searched around the net to see what others are saying. I found that many gun manufacturers and merchants are strongly in favor of this new bill which makes tax collection more equal to regular businessness by filing quarterly and not bi-weekly. This will in turn allow gun manufactures to invest in their business. I'm confused though however if this will or not raise taxes (read mixed).
Ashley HestandSeptember 2, 2010, 1:02am (report abuse)
Aaron this is the problem which I find very sneaky, you know how they are always adding little bits on, well everyone was fooled by this one because obviously the idea is good, to help small business but this is from Section 3:
(C) RESTRICTION ON CHALLENGE OF ASSESSMENT- The amount of such restitution may not be challenged by the person against whom assessed on the basis of the existence or amount of the underlying tax liability in any proceeding authorized under this title (including in any suit or proceeding in court permitted under section 7422).'.

Product Details
We teamed up with Claire Lampert and Stacy Daily of cult-favorite online shop Where I Was From on a limited-edition collection of modern closet essentials with a throwback vibe. The inspiration? Think traveling to a New Mexico lavender farm with a suitcase of vintage scores. Take these perfect high-rise cutoffs—crafted of old-school "broken" denim with its distinctive zigzag weave, they were garment-dyed in hues reminiscent of the Southwest before being finished with a playful heart patch.

Madewell x Where I Was From™ High-Rise Jean Shorts
Madewell x Where I Was From™ High-Rise Jean Shorts is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by thealternatetraveler from Great for "curvy" girls! I ordered my normal 27 in these, and yes they are big, but they are supposed to be slightly baggy. They look great on my "curvy" figure, but might not on someone who is tall and very thin. I am 5'2 with large hips and these sit very well on them. I plan on scooping up another color before they are gone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angie23 from I loved them! I have the 10" high rise jeans in a 27, I'm usually a 28 in most brands. With these i tried a 28 and 29, and stuck with the 29 in all three colors. I'm 5"2 with an athletic build, smaller waist and fuller in the rear. I didn't seem to have the problem that the other reviewers had with fit. Shorts are something I hate buying and never can seem to find the right pair- they're always too short, they bunch up, and they gap at the waist. These were surprisingly perfect! I did size up to the 29 so I could have a relaxed fit, more like the model, but I did not have the weird flare out effect others mentioned. They flattered without the "mom jean" effect. For once, I actually can't wait for summer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mayu from So cute but runs large! These are the cutest spring shorts ever but they run a size large. I'm usually between a 26 and 27 in madewell jeans depending on stretch, but I could easily see myself fitting just right in a 25 for these. The 26 had enough room to pull the waistband an inch off my waist without trying. Hopefully sizing down works..! These are too cute to pass up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CaraB from big! like some other reviewers said, these fit very large. I'm always a 26 in denim from madewell and other companies and the 26s were huge. not even baggy... just all around too big on the waist. so these could work in a smaller size, but i went for another style instead. also the style and patch is very cute but the pinkish color was more beige and less exciting in person. i got the high waisted black shorts instead and they fit like a dream.

Rated 3 out of 5 by amyamy from runs big! i really wanted to love these, but they are huge. i ordered my regular madewell size of 24 and they are way too big and also very wide. i'd suggest ordering down a size or two.

Rated 1 out of 5 by amandab123 from Weird FIt The waist is a true fit but the seat and legs are much larger so they ride up as you wear them. I went down a size and the waist still fit but had the same issues. I wear lots of made well denim and shorts and the fit of these is very different than usual.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lydiah from Very Poor Fit I love the color of these and bought them on a whim; unfortunately, when I put them on I was disappointed. They fit quite strangely, and the sides stick out (you can somewhat see this in the pictures, although the wa y the model stands it's not exceedingly obvious). On a girl with hips, the sides flaring out makes for an awkward look. Will sadly be returning.
