Today, the Bengal region is divided between Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. Its present-day boundaries were formed during the Partition of British India, when Hindu-majority West Bengal became a part of India, while Muslim-majority East Bengal joined Pakistan and later became the independent country of Bangladesh.
With a recorded history spanning four millennia, Bengal has played an important role in the history of South Asia. Modern Bengal has been an epicentre of the Indian independence movement, revolutionary activities, the Bengal Renaissance, the Pakistan Movement and the Bangladesh War of Independence,[2] all of which have shaped the subcontinent since the late 19th century. Despite the legacy of partition, Bengalis maintain strong cultural bonds, including the world's sixth most spoken native language, as well as their own uniform writing system, literature, music, art, festivals, cuisine and architecture.
Bengal proper is divided between the People's Republic of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. Bengali-speaking majority populations also reside in India's Tripura state, the Barak Valley in Assam state and the federally-administered Andaman and Nicobar Islands. A large section of the Rohingya population in Myanmar's Rakhine State are of Bengali ancestry.
The name of Bengal is derived from the ancient kingdom of Vanga,[3] [4] the earliest records of which date back to the Mahabharata epic in the first millennium BCE.[4] Theories on the origin of the term Vanga point to the Proto-Dravidian Bong tribe that settled in the area circa 1000 BCE and the Austric word Bong (Sun-god).[5] [6] The term Vangaladesa is used to describe the region in 11th century South Indian records.[7] [8] [9] The modern term Bangla is prominent from the 14th century, which saw the establishment of the Sultanate of Bengal, whose first ruler Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah was known as the Shah of Bangala.[10] The Portuguese referred to the region as Bengala in the Age of Discovery.[11]
Human settlement in Bengal can be traced back 20,000 years. Remnants of Copper Age settlements date back 4,300 years.[12] [13] Archaeological evidence confirms that by the second millennium BCE, rice-cultivating communities inhabited the region. By the 11th century BCE, the people of the area lived in systemically-aligned housing, used human cemeteries and manufactured copper ornaments and fine black and red pottery.[14] The Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers were natural arteries for communication and transportation.[14] Estuaries on the Bay of Bengal allowed for maritime trade. The eary Iron Age saw the development of metal weaponry, coinage, permanent field agriculture and irrigation.[14] From 600 BCE, the second wave of urbanization engulfed the north Indian subcontinent, as part of the Northern Black Polished Ware culture.
Ancient Bengal was divided between the regions of Varendra, Suhma, Anga, Vanga, Samatata and Harikela. Early Indian literature described the region as a thalassocracy, with colonies in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean.[15] The first recorded king of Sri Lanka was the Bengali prince Vijaya. The region was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as Gangaridai.[16] The Greek ambassador Megasthenes chronicled its military strength and dominance of the Ganges delta. The invasion army of Alexander the Great was deterred by the accounts of Gangaridai's power in 325 BCE. Later Roman accounts noted maritime trade routes with Bengal.
Animism and Jainism were the early chief religions in Bengal. West of the Ganges, the Brahmins developed agriculture.[14] Buddhism flourished during the first millennium. Chinese and Tibetan travelers in the 7th century described Bengal as the leading center of Buddhism. It hosted numerous monasteries and universities, with monks and students from across Asia. One Bengali monk, Atisa, became revered as a second incarnation of the Buddha. He traveled to Tibet and Sumatra to pioneer Mahayana Buddhism. By the 9th century, Arab Muslim traders frequented Bengali seaports, and found the thriving seafaring kingdom of Harikela, with well-developed coinage and banking.[14]
The dynasties of ancient Bengal included the Mauryans, Guptas, Varmans, Khadgas, Palas, Chandras and Senas among others. Shashanka founded the kingdom of Gauda, which later became the springboard of successive Bengali states.[17]
The Islamic conquest of the Indian subcontinent absorbed Bengal in 1204.[18] [19] The region was annexed by the Delhi Sultanate. Muslim rule introduced agrarian reform, a new calendar and Sufism. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Bengal Sultanate was a major diplomatic, economic and military power in the subcontinent. It developed the subcontinent's relations with China, Egypt, the Timurid Empire and East Africa. The Mughal Empire conquered Bengal in the 16th century. The Bengal Subah in the Mughal Empire was the wealthiest state in the subcontinent. Bengal's trade and wealth impressed the Mughals so much that it was described as the Paradise of the Nations by the Mughal Emperors.[20] The region was also notable for its powerful semi-independent aristocracy, including the Twelve Bhuiyans and the Nawabs of Bengal.[21]
Since the 16th century, European traders traversed the sea routes to Bengal, following the Portuguese conquests of Malacca and Goa. The Portuguese established a settlement in Chittagong with permission from the Bengal Sultanate in 1528, but were later expelled by the Mughals in 1666. In the 18th-century, the Mughal Court rapidly disintegrated due to Nader Shah's invasion and internal rebellions, allowing European colonial powers to set up trading posts across the territory. The British East India Company eventually emerged as the foremost military power in the region; and defeated the last independent Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757.[21]
Company rule in India began under the Bengal Presidency. Calcutta was named the capital of British India in 1772. The presidency was run by a military-civil administration, including the Bengal Army, and had the world's sixth earliest railway network. Great Bengal famines struck several times during colonial rule. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was initiated on the outskirts of Calcutta, and spread to Dhaka, Chittagong, Jalpaiguri, Sylhet and Agartala, in solidarity with revolts in North India. The failure of the rebellion led to the abolishment of the Mughal Court and direct rule by the British Raj. The late 19th and early 20th century Bengal Renaissance had a great impact on the cultural and economic life of Bengal. Between 1905 and 1912, an abortive attempt was made to divide the province of Bengal into two zones, that included the short-lived province of Eastern Bengal and Assam based in Dacca and Shillong.
Bengal played a major role in the Indian independence movement, in which revolutionary groups were dominant. Armed attempts to overthrow the British Raj began with the rebellion of Titumir, and reached a climax when Subhas Chandra Bose led the Indian National Army against the British. Bengal was also central in the rising political awareness of the Muslim population—the All-India Muslim League was established in Dhaka in 1906. The Muslim homeland movement pushed for a sovereign state in eastern British India with the Lahore Resolution in 1943. Hindu nationalism was also strong in Bengal, which was home to groups like the Hindu Mahasabha. In spite of a last-ditch effort to form a United Bengal,[22] when India gained independence in 1947, Bengal was partitioned along religious lines. The western part went to India (and was named West Bengal) while the eastern part joined Pakistan as a province called East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan, giving rise to Bangladesh in 1971). The circumstances of partition were bloody, with widespread religious riots in Bengal.[23] [24]
East Pakistan was established on the territory of the British and Pakistani dominion province of East Bengal. Fears of Bengali supremacy under democracy led to years of military rule by West Pakistan, as well as cultural and economic discrimination. Starting with the Bengali Language Movement in 1952, political dissent against the Pakistani state grew steadily and gave rise to Bangladeshi nationalism. After the 1970 national election, the erstwhile Pakistani military junta launched the 1971 Bangladesh genocide that caused the Bangladesh Liberation War. The new republic of Bangladesh was established a secular democracy, but it endured several military coups, as well as widespread poverty and natural disasters. The restoration of the parliamentary system in 1991 has led to improved economic growth and stability. However, the country continues to face challenges of political polarization, human rights abuses by its security forces and religious extremism.[25] [26] Bangladesh has significantly reduced poverty, improved human development indicators and is a Next Eleven emerging economy.West Bengal became a state of India. Calcutta was the largest city in India until the late 20th century. In the 1960s and 1970s, severe power shortages, strikes and a violent Marxist-Naxalite movement damaged much of the state's infrastructure, leading to a period of economic stagnation. West Bengal politics underwent a major change when the Left Front won the 1977 assembly election, defeating the incumbent Indian National Congress. The Left Front, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) governed the state for over three decades, which was the longest elected Communist administration in history.[27] Since the 2000s, West Bengal has experienced an economic rejuvenation, particularly in its IT industry. However, the state continues to have many of the most economically backward communities in India.
See main article: Geography of Bangladesh and Geography of West Bengal. Most of the Bengal region lies in the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, but there are highlands in its north, northeast and southeast. The Ganges Delta arises from the confluence of the rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers and their respective tributaries. The total area of Bengal is 232,752 km2—West Bengal is 88752km2 and Bangladesh 147570km2.
The flat and fertile Bangladesh Plain dominates the geography of Bangladesh. The Chittagong Hill Tracts and Sylhet regions are home to most of the mountains in Bangladesh. Most parts of Bangladesh are within 10m (30feet) above the sea level, and it is believed that about 10% of the land would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1m (03feet).[28] Because of this low elevation, much of this region is exceptionally vulnerable to seasonal flooding due to monsoons.The highest point in Bangladesh is in Mowdok range at 1052m (3,451feet).[29] A major part of the coastline comprises a marshy jungle, the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world and home to diverse flora and fauna, including the royal Bengal tiger. In 1997, this region was declared endangered.[30]
West Bengal is on the eastern bottleneck of India, stretching from the Himalayas in the north to the Bay of Bengal in the south. The state has a total area of .[31] The Darjeeling Himalayan hill region in the northern extreme of the state belongs to the eastern Himalaya. This region contains Sandakfu —the highest peak of the state.[32] The narrow Terai region separates this region from the plains, which in turn transitions into the Ganges delta towards the south. The Rarh region intervenes between the Ganges delta in the east and the western plateau and high lands. A small coastal region is on the extreme south, while the Sundarbans mangrove forests form a remarkable geographical landmark at the Ganges delta.
At least nine districts in West Bengal and 42 districts in Bangladesh have arsenic levels in groundwater above the World Health Organization maximum permissible limit of 50 µg/L (micro gram per litre) or 50 parts per billion and the untreated water is unfit for human consumption.[33] The water causes arsenicosis, skin cancer and various other complications in the body. Arsenic is four times as poisonous as mercury.
Main articles: Demographics of Bangladesh, Demographics of West Bengal and Languages of BangladeshWith a population of 320 million, Bengalis are the third largest ethnic group in the world after the Han Chinese and Arabs.[34]
The Bengal region is also one of most densely populated areas in the world.
According to provisional results of 2011 Bangladesh census, population of Bangladesh was 142,319,000;[35] however, CIA's The World Factbook gives 163,654,860 as its population in a July 2013 estimate. According to the provisional results of the 2011 Indian national census, West Bengal has a population of 91,347,736.[36] So, the Bengal region, as of 2011, has at least 233 million people. This figures give a population density of 1003.9/km2; making it among the most densely populated areas in the world.[37] [38]
Bengali is the main language spoken in Bengal. Many phonological, lexical, and structural differences from the standard variety occur in peripheral varieties of Bengali; these include Sylheti, Chittagonian, Chakma, Rangpuri/Rajbangshi, Hajong, Rohingya, and Tangchangya.[39]
English is often used for official work alongside Bengali, and many Bengalis are also familiar with other major Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Assamese, and Nepali.
In addition, there are several minority ethnolinguistic groups native to the region. These include speakers of other Indo-Aryan languages (e.g. Bishnupriya Manipuri, Oraon Sadri, various Bihari languages), Tibeto-Burman languages (e.g. A'Tong, Chak, Koch, Garo, Megam, Meitei Manipuri, Mizo, Mru, Pangkhua, Rakhine/Marma, Kok Borok, Riang, Tippera, Usoi, various Chin languages), Austroasiatic languages (e.g. Khasi, Koda, Mundari, Pnar, Santali, War), and Dravidian languages (e.g. Kurukh, Sauria Paharia).[39]
Life expectancy is around 70.36 years for Bangladesh[40] and 63.4 for West Bengal.[41] [42] In terms of literacy, West Bengal leads with 77% literacy rate,[37] in Bangladesh the rate is approximately 59.82%.[43] [44] The level of poverty and illiteracy is high, the proportion of people living below the poverty line is more than 30%.[45] [46]
About 20,000 people live on chars. Chars are temporary islands formed by the deposition of sediments eroded off the banks of the Ganges in West Bengal which often disappear in the monsoon season. They are made of very fertile soil. The inhabitants of the chars are not recognised by the Government of West Bengal on the grounds that it is not known whether they are Bengalis or Bangladeshi refugees. Consequently, no identification documents are issued to char-dwellers who cannot benefit from health care, barely survive because of very poor sanitation and are prevented from emigrating to the mainland to find jobs when they have turned 14. On a particular char it was reported that 13% of women died at childbirth.[47]
See main article: Economy of Bangladesh and Economy of West Bengal. Historically, Bengal has been the industrial leader of the subcontinent.
The region is one of the largest rice producing areas in the world, with West Bengal being India's largest rice producer and Bangladesh being the world's fourth largest rice producer.[48] [48] Other key crops include jute, tea, sugarcane and wheat. There are significant reserves of limestone, natural gas and coal. Major industries include textiles, leather goods, pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding, banking and information and communication technology.
Three stock exchanges are located in the region, including the Dhaka Stock Exchange, the Chittagong Stock Exchange and the Calcutta Stock Exchange.
Bangladesh and India are the largest trading partners in South Asia, with two-way trade valued at an estimated US$6.9 billion.[49] Much of this trade relationship is centered on some of the world's busiest land ports on the Bangladesh-India border, particularly the West Bengal section.
The partition of India severed the once strong economic links which integrated the region. Decades later, frequent air, rail and bus services are increasingly connecting cities in Bangladesh and West Bengal, as well as the wider region, including Northeast India, Nepal and Bhutan. However the overall economic relationship remains well-below potential.

The Bengal region is located at the crossroads of two huge economic blocs, the SAARC and ASEAN. It gives access to the sea for the landlocked countries of Nepal and Bhutan, as well as the Seven Sister States of North East India. It is also located near China's southern landlocked region, including Yunnan and Tibet.
Both India and Bangladesh plan to expand onshore and offshore oil and gas operations. Bangladesh is Asia's seventh-largest natural gas producer. Its maritime exclusive economic zone potentially holds many of the largest gas reserves in the Asia-Pacific.[55]
The Bay of Bengal is strategically important for its vital shipping lanes and its central location between the Middle East and the Pacific. The Bay of Bengal Initiative, based in Dhaka, brings together Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka to promote economic integration in the subregion. Other regional groupings include the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Forum for Regional Cooperation (BCIM) and the Bangladesh Bhutan India Nepal (BBIN) Initiative.
Culturally, Bengal is significant for its huge Hindu and Muslim populations. Bengali Hindus make up the second largest linguistic community in India. Bengali Muslims are the world's second largest Muslim ethnicity (after Arab Muslims), and Bangladesh is the world's third largest Muslim-majority country (after Indonesia and Pakistan).
See also: Bangladesh-India relations. Cultural, historic and commercial ties are growing, with both Bangladesh and India recognising the importance of good relations. During and immediately after Bangladesh's struggle for independence from Pakistan in 1971, India assisted refugees from East Pakistan, and intervened militarily to help bring about the independence of Bangladesh. The Indo-Bangladesh border length of 40950NaN0, West Bengal has a border length of 2216abbr=onNaNabbr=on.[56] Despite overlapping historic, geographic and cultural ties, the relation between West Bengal and Bangladesh is still well below full potential.[57] The pan-Bengali sentiment among the people of the two parts of Bengal was at its height during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.[58] While the government radio and national press in India might have backed the struggle out of strategic considerations, the Bengali broadcast and print media went out of its way to lend overwhelming support.[58]
Frequent air services link Kolkata with Dhaka and Chittagong. A bus service between Kolkata and Dhaka is operational. The primary road link is the Jessore Road which crosses the border at Petrapole-Benapole about 175km (109miles) north-west of Kolkata. The train service between Kolkata and Dhaka (Moitri Express), which was stopped after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, was resumed in 2008.[59]
Visa services are provided by Bangladesh's consulate at Kolkata's Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Road and India's high commissions in Dhaka, Chittagong and Rajshahi. India has a liberal visa policy and nearly 500,000 visas[57] are issued every year to Bangladeshi students, tourists, health-tourists and others who visit West Bengal and often transit to other parts of India.
Undocumented immigration of Bangladeshi workers is a controversial issue[57] championed by right-wing nationalist parties in India but finds little sympathy in West Bengal. India has fenced the border to control this flow but immigration is still continuing.[60]
The official land border crossing at Petrapole-Benapole is the primary conduit for the over $1 billion trade between the two-halves of Bengal. The volume of unofficial exports to Bangladesh from India is reportedly in the range of $350–500 million each year.[61]
The common Bengali language and culture anchors the shared tradition of two parts of politically divided Bengal. Bengal has a long tradition in folk literature, evidenced by the Chôrjapôdô, Mangalkavya, Shreekrishna Kirtana, Maimansingha Gitika or Thakurmar Jhuli. Bengali literature in the medieval age was often either religious (e.g. Chandidas), or adaptations from other languages (e.g. Alaol). During the Bengal Renaissance of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Bengali literature was modernised through the works of authors such as Michael Madhusudan Dutta, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Kazi Nazrul Islam.
The Baul tradition is a unique heritage of Bengali folk music.[62] The 19th century mystic poet Lalon Shah is the most celebrated practitioner of the tradition.[63] Other folk music forms include Gombhira, Bhatiali and Bhawaiya. Hason Raja is a renowned folk poet of the Sylhet region. Folk music in Bengal is often accompanied by the ektara, a one-stringed instrument. Other instruments include the dotara, dhol, flute, and tabla. The region also has a rich heritage in North Indian classical music.
Bengal had also been the harbinger of modernism in Indian arts. Abanindranath Tagore, one of the important 18th century artist from Bengal is often referred to as the father of Indian modern art. He had established the first non-British art academy in India known as the Kalabhavan within the premises of Santiniketan. Santiniketan in course of time had produced many important Indian artists like Gaganendranath Tagore, Nandalal Bose, Jamini Roy, Benode Bihari Mukherjee and Ramkinkar Baij. In the post-independence era, Bengal had produced important artists like Somenath Hore, Meera Mukherjee and Ganesh Pyne. Modern Bangladeshi art was heralded by Zainul Abedin, and includes important figures like SM Sultan, Mohammad Kibria, Shahabuddin Ahmed and Kanak Chanpa Chakma among others.
Rice and fish are traditional favourite foods, leading to a saying that in Bengali, mach ar bhaath bangali baanaay, that translates as "fish and rice make a Bengali".[64] Bengal's vast repertoire of fish-based dishes includes Hilsa preparations, a favourite among Bengalis. Bengalis make distinctive sweetmeats from milk products, including Rôshogolla, Chômchôm, and several kinds of Pithe.
Bengali women commonly wear the shaŗi and the salwar kameez, often distinctly designed according to local cultural customs. In urban areas, many women and men wear Western-style attire. Among men, European dressing has greater acceptance. Men also wear traditional costumes such as the kurta with dhoti or pyjama, often on religious occasions. The lungi, a kind of long skirt, is widely worn by Bangladeshi men.
The greatest religious festivals are the two Eids (Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha) for the Muslims, and the autumnal Durga Puja for Hindus.[65] Christmas (called Bôŗodin (Great day) in Bengali), Buddha Purnima are other major religious festivals. Other festivities include Pohela Baishakh (the Bengali New Year), Basanta-Utsab, Nobanno, and Poush parbon (festival of Poush).
Bangladesh has a diverse, outspoken, sometimes unprofessional private-owned press, with the largest circulated Bengali language newspapers in the world. English-language titles are popular in the urban readership.[66] West Bengal had 559 published newspapers in 2005,[67] of which 430 were in Bengali.[67] Cricket and football are popular sports in the Bengal region. Local games include sports such as Kho Kho and Kabaddi, the later being the national sport of Bangladesh. An Indo-Bangladesh Bengali Games has been organised among the athletes of the Bengali speaking areas of the two countries.[68]

"Giving Back (a free course)"
The 'Mindfulness for Beginners' is a complementary Online 7 lesson course. Requiring 10-15 minutes per lesson.
Guelph Meditation.
In 1990 the Guelph meditation sangha was started, with its participants waxing and waning as new people attend, some remain while others leave. However, a core strength has remained throughout these 25 years.
What the sangha is:
A leaderless group Guelph Meditation has faithfully gathered once per week in each others homes. We 'sit' for 45 minutes, listen to a talk, a reading or other form of presentation. We then speak to the meaning and understanding this particular issue has in our respective lives. In other words, our practice encompasses not only the 'sit' but also the ensuing conversation. Our conversation is grounded in the Buddhist teachings. We presume that members have an understanding of basic Buddhist concepts and principles.
Over these years, each evening unofficially follows some basic assumptions:
- Mutual respect.
- Sharing is optional.
- Listen gratefully and mindfully.
- Speak from one's own experience.
What the sangha is not:
- An educational group, each person is responsible for some understanding of Buddhist terms and philosophy.
- An intellectual discussion group, i.e. not needing to correct, convert, challenge others to a particular viewpoint.
- A therapy group, i.e. no need to debate, rescue, problem-solve or in any way interfere with an others contribution.

Can you put multiple ttracking numbers for a single purchased line item. If you order a qty of two of that item adn there are shipped seperately with two tracking numbers. Can you enter them both in the tracking number field?
4 Replies
Mar 13, 2012 at 4:42 UTC
Only option would be to add both numbers to the Tracking area 12345 & 34567.
Just create a seperate Purchase for each item. You can then use Purchase Order number to associate them both to a single order,
Mar 14, 2012 at 4:51 UTC
Putting the & sign between them still gives an error when you click the "track It" option.
If you have to create a seperate line item for each tracking number then what is the need for a QTY field? There should be a option to add more than one tracking number. OR at least have a seperator symbol that the track it mod understands. plus sign dont work. Nor do commas, semi colons, colons, dashes, etc....
Mar 14, 2012 at 5:43 UTC
I can add a "&" sign in the tracking on mine. I only use it as a reference and don't actually use "TRACK IT" as that feature doesn't work for any Courier companies here in OZ.
I will assume the reason for the QTY is so that you can order more than one on the same order. If items are going to be delivered seperate then surely they would have a seperate "Tracking number" and you would indeed need a different tracking number.
I know what you mean though, It would be handy to be able to create an order for say six items on the one order. One make be on back order in turn requires a seperate tracking number. It does however belong to the same order for the same client.
Perhaps one for a "Feature Request"?
Mar 28, 2014 at 3:39 UTC

A record number of vets have been welcomed to the RCVS as fellows, following a relaunch of the initiative earlier this year.
In total, 44 members successfully applied for the college's highest level of membership following the introduction of a new application system in April.
New routes
Three new entry routes are now available under the reviewed entry model, which allows for a greater proportion of the profession to join the ranks of its fellowship.
The 44 successful candidates were accepted under the following categories:
- 19 for meritorious contributions to knowledge
- 18 for meritorious contributions to clinical practice
- 7 for meritorious contributions to the profession
Tremendously proud
RCVS senior vice-president Bradley Viner (pictured right) said: "I am tremendously proud so many members of the profession successfully put themselves forward as candidates.
"I think it is safe to say this is the greatest number of people who have ever joined the fellowship in a single year and it represents our hopes for its future – that of a learned society open to members of the profession from all walks of life and contributing to the profession in all sorts of ways."
Fellowship day
The successful candidates have been invited to attend an inaugural fellowship day at The Royal Institution in London on 19 October to celebrate their achievement and hear more about the fellowship and their role in it.
Consultant medical oncologist and professor of cancer medicine, Martin Gore, will give a keynote speech at the event entitled "Research at the coalface: the pros and cons, the ups and the downs".
Nick Bacon, chairman of the fellowship board responsible for reviewing the applications, will also speak at the event.

I Like To Think
I like to think that my faith would be enough to get me into heaven. I mean, I haven't done anything seriously wrong, right? I haven't killed anyone, I haven't done anything, well, major ... I've told a few lies, sure, but everyone does that, haven't they? I guess that's what we all think.
People have told me so many times that no matter what you do you can earn forgiveness, because God loves you; they've told me that Jesus is the only way to get into heaven and you don't have to earn it -- there's nothing you can do to make yourself more likely to get into heaven, because all you have to do is believe. I wish I could believe that.
It seems to me that love's just a big story. I can't imagine half the people I know of who 'believe in Jesus' getting to heaven, not the way they behave. And yet that's what we're taught, so I'm not sure any more. It screws up my brain.
That's why I think I'm going to hell.
Like I said, I haven't done anything majorly wrong. But I haven't done anything majorly right either. I raised some money for charity, great. But did I physically go and help those people? Did I physically free the slaves, feed the hungry, house the homeless and clothe the naked? No. I left that all to somebody else.
Well, I guess there are times when I'm down and this time of my life is definitely one of them ... but matters such as afterlife often require a bit of thought. Perhaps tomorrow I'll once again be convinced of my eligibility to pass through those pearly gates. Or perhaps not. I'll get back to you on that one.

Have been in operation less than 30 days and have not made income after initial start-up costs (professional licensure, malpractice insurance fees, professional organization fees). This is a private practice (counseling).
Do you have some compelling reason to need to file the Articles of Organization and form the LLC with the Florida Division of Corporations prior to December 31? In other words, if it can wait 3 weeks, let it wait.
If you are concerned that you need to immediately begin deriving some benefit that would come from operating as an LLC, keep in mind that a "promoter" or "incorporater" can be insulated from personal liability for obligations created prior to the date the LLC or corporation is actually formed provided certain conditions are met. This type of analysis and counsel would absolutely warrant the advice of an attorney experienced in business and corporate law matters.See question
I was told that the names and addresses of the owners of a corporation and the articles of incorporation have to be on file with the Florida secretary of state. However, we can't find this information on sunbiz. How do we find out this informati...
The shareholders ("Owners") of a privately-held corporation are not required to be listed or registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. The names of the officers and/or directors are often reflected in the Articles of Incorporation.
If you are a shareholder in the corporation, you have the right under Chapter 607, Fla Statutes, to inspect the corporate books and records which should include a listing of all owners. If you are not a shareholder, you do not have right to know the names of the shareholders in the absence of some contractual right given to you by the corporation or by Court Order if you have a legitimate basis for obtaining this information.See question
The sub contractor electrician actually began preliminary work in April 2012 for which he was 1st paid by us thru the general contractor in May 2012. The permit was officially issued 8/20/12. This sub contractor continued work on the project thr...
The date the permit was issued does not dictate lien rights for the sub-contractor.
A sub-contractor must serve a Notice to Owner upon the owner within 45 days from the date the sub first began furnishing work or materials to the property (Sec. 713.06, Fla Statutes).
The sub-contractor then has 90 days from the date he last furnished work or materials to the property within which to record a construction lien in the public records of the county where the property is located (Sec. 713.08, Fla Statutes).
Interim/Partial payment dates and/or permit issuance dates do not alter these strict deadline dates under Florida's Construction Lien Law.See question
I am renting a home that is in foreclosure in Florida and I was very recently served with a "Motion For Judicial Default". Why would this document be served on me as the tenant? Also, the document states that I "failed to serve an answer to the or...
A "judicial Default" is a default entered by the presiding judge as opposed to a clerk's default. The judge will very likely require the Plaintiff to set a hearing on the Motion and provide you with notice of the hearing., You will then have the opportunity to appear at the hearing and make your arguments to the judge.
It would not be advisable to simply "write to the plaintiff's attorney" and believe the motion will be resolved in that manner.See question
I had filed for Chapter 11 that turned into Chapter 7 business liquidation in 2009. How many year does a personal guaranty loan expires after Chapter 7 business liquidation? Thank you!
The language of the guaranty should provide the answer to your question.
For example, if the guaranty is "continuing and unconditional", the fate of the business entity (I'm assuming for purposes of answering this question that the business was a corporation or LLC), may not relieve you of obligations arising out of the guaranty,
You should consult with an attorney to review the guaranty and the facts surrounding your particular matter to determine an appropriate strategy relating to your liability under the guaranty.See question
I hired a roofer to replace our roof. We knew there was 2 roofs before he started. After 1st layor was started being removed we descovered that there was much more work. We came to a verbal agreement on the extra labor to remove the roofing. Roofe...
There are a number of legal issues presented here. A consultation with an attorney experienced in Florida's Construction :Lien Law is highly advisable.
Based on the facts you have explained, you should first understand that the roofer will have to prove that the amounts he is charging for his work arise out of a valid contract between the parties. It sounds like there may be differing accounts as to what you actually agreed upon, especially as to the change order for the extra work. If your original contract (you reference a "quote") is in writing, it should be reviewed to determine if there are provisions dealing with change orders.
Additionally, the roofer is required to provide you with a Contractor's Final Payment affidavit, pursuant to Section 713.06, Fla Statutes, in order to apply for the final payment from you. The affidavit must show the names of all unpaid subs and suppliers so you will know who is a potential lienor on your property. You can then make direct payments to those unpaid parties in exchange for their Final Lien Releases (which addresses your concern regarding the supplier).
If the roofer files a lien, you have the right to contest the lien in various procedural ways under Chapter 713, Fla Statutes.
Again, you should consult with an attorney knowledgeable in this area of the law to determine an appropriate course of action.See question
There is no morgage and my brother lives in the house.
The transfer can be done with a quit claim deed if title warranty is not an issue.

If there was a judgement issued against me without my knowing about it and now 16 years later my license is suspended and at 10% interest since the judgement I'm looking at 9K what can I do? I don't have the $ to pay. The accident occurred in di...
If the judgment was entered "without you knowing about it", I will assume you were never served with process as required by Florida law. If you were never served, the Court likely did not acquire jurisdiction over you and, therefore, the judgment could be declared void and set aside.
You should consult with an attorney to review the facts and, perhaps, file an appropriate Motion to Vacate the judgment and have a court hearing scheduled to hear the Motion.See question
If a party answers an interrogatory or request for admission, and later contradicts his written answer under oath in a deposition, is the first answer considered to be perjury? If not, which answer is considered to be the operating testimony of t...
It's not automatically assumed to be perjury. Your attorney can use the conflicting testimony to impeach the credibility of the witness' testimony. If it can be proven that the witness intentionally lied under oath, then perhaps the Court may consider a perjury charge.See question

Christmas Tree Land
Christmas Tree Land
Diane Rainford knows so much about spruce she has been described as a tree anorak. With her husband, Richard, she runs Christmas Tree Land, one of the largest retailers of Christmas trees in the North-west. The rest of the year they are farmers.
Richard started selling trees in his parent's farm shop, which gave us the idea for something bigger. Our vision was to create a unique display of trees in a large field - a forest effect rather than having them all bunched together. We started out with just a picnic table to sell from but we now hire a huge marquee with a small indoor display. It seems to impress the customers - when they first see the forest of 4,000 trees the normal reaction is "Oh, wow".
We provide a lot of trees to local businesses like Granada Studios, so from the beginning of November we are out delivering and erecting trees. The retail side kicks in from mid-December and then it's flat out until the 24th. It's great fun most of the time - you see people having the funniest arguments over what tree to buy and some even bring picnics. On the downside, it can be physically demanding, particularly when we have bad weather.
The business has expanded every year since we started about 20 years ago. We now make three times as much from Christmas Tree Land as from the farm. People are spending more - the average in 1999 has been about £30 per tree compared to £23 in 1998. This year we have gone on-line to a tremendous response, particularly from London. We've even got a tree in the Royal Mews.
By Christmas Eve I'm ready to shut myself away and not see anybody. We tend to take time off in January - this year we are taking the children to Disneyland, otherwise we head for some winter sun. In February we start preparing the farm for spring. When you run your own business you can't really afford to take too much time off.
I think Christmas is all about money now. I tend to be a bit Bah Humbug about it, but it can also be a lot of fun. We now have our own grotto with Santa and two real reindeers.
Christmas Tree Land (tel: 01744 885099; www.christmastreeland.co.uk)
The Ministry of Fun
James Lovell and Julian Pearson are both professional entertainers - a former clown and magician, respectively. Five years ago they started their own entertainment agency, the Ministry of Fun, based in East London. It is now one of Britain's main Santa agencies.
In our second year, one of our clients asked if we could provide a Santa. Naturally, we said yes but we didn't have any on our books so we put an ad in the paper and held auditions. Luckily Julian had done a bit of Santa-ing before so he knew what was required.
We now provide more than 500 Santas to department stores, shopping centres, openings and Christmas light ceremonies. Demand kicks off in November. Our Santas are mostly older male actors, although there has been the odd request for a Mother Christmas. There is more to it than just putting the costume on - it's a performance and Santas need to have charm and twinkling eyes. Sadly, these days you also need to make sure they have all been police checked. We aim to offer a very professional service and you won't hear stories of our Santas getting drunk or running riot.
We now do about a third of our business during the two-month run-up to Christmas and we could probably live off the money we make then. Demand gets stronger every year. Last year we had a shortage of Santas so this year we took a proactive approach and set up a Santa school. We auditioned and trained 18 new Santas, taught them everything from how to put on make-up to how to deal with difficult children.
For the rest of the year we provide all sorts of entertainers from stilt walkers to human statues. This year our biggest job has been a contract for Butlins.
In our experience it tends to be parents who fall for the hype of Christmas. Most of the children ask for the usual gifts like dolls, action men and computer games.

Green Guide for Christmas
This year the first handbook for an environmentally friendly Christmas has been published by Green Guides. Managing director, Gavin Markham took over the original London Guide in 1997 and has since expanded the business to eight publications.
The idea popped up in August when I was looking at ways to develop our green handbooks. Christmas has become a time of over-indulgence, excess and waste and we seem to have got away from the traditional values. Publishing Green Guide for Christmas seemed an ideal way to get back in tune with nature and to show people that you can be green and still have fun. It's now possible to have a completely organic and environmentally friendly Christmas, from presents to food.
This year has been hectic. Although some of the entries for the Christmas guide came from our existing database, we wanted to tailor it specially. We have included farmer's markets for the first time to encourage people to shop locally for traditional seasonal products grown in their area. Cutting down on deliveries and foreign imports helps to reduce pollution. We put the guide together in just over four weeks.
For the rest of the year, I've been busy growing the number of regional editions we produce, as well as updating and improving the information. By the end of next year I hope to cover the whole country with our guides. We have also launched a web site this year that will provide a variety of news.
Christmas is no longer the time of magic I remember from my childhood. We are constantly encouraged to spend and consume more and more. Green Guide for Christmas looks back at the history and traditions of Christmas, but it's also meant to get people back into the spirit of Christmas again. Being green doesn't mean we have to give up anything, we just consume it in a different way.

I'm not sure where Robert Griffin III was looking while he was running out of bounds on this play, but he clearly was not prepared to come across Pierre Garcon when he did. And so, we have this glorious collision hug. My favorite part is Garcon's desperate catch, as if he vowed one day to never let his quarterback hit the ground and, gosh darn it, he's not going to break that promise.

Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the highest quality replacement parts will do. Obviously, you didn't buy your Celebrity unless you knew that you wanted performance and American style both rolled up into one automobile. You picked your Celebrity because its dependability and value struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck.
The performance of your car or truck is the result of an evolved suspension. Your vehicle's MacPherson strut suspension can be used on front or rear wheels, and allows them to achieve more rotation using fewer parts. At the top of the your strut is your Chevrolet Celebrity strut mount, and it is a bushing with a metal sleeve in the center for the strut rod to fasten to and pivot inside. It is this pivot that the strut mount provides that allows your wheels to change location and orientation a few degrees so it can accommodate changes in the road. The first time that cars could adapt this well was when the strut mount came along, and your Chevrolet Celebrity owes its comfortable ride to it.
Procuring new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Celebrity parts on the internet. Get your Celebrity back on the road with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. All the Chevrolet Celebrity Strut Mount parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Cassandra Moores,
I walk into the Pharmacy. There are two other girls are in there. I go up to the desk, where my phone starts buzzing.
"Hold on" I say to the woman. I look at the text.
I'm on your family. ner ner ner ner ner ner.
I text her back.
"Ehem. Sorry" I say. A few minutes pass. "Oh! Do I need to give you my prescription?"
"Oh" I dig in my pockets. "Ummm... I didn't bring it. I didn't know I would need it"
"Deary me. What did your mum tell you to say?"
"She said I should tell the pharmacist that I'm addicted to The Sims 3, and I that I have a general lack of intelligence" I say, trying to look smart.
"Oh, It's you again. Here you go" she hands me a piece of paper.
"School, advised to start at Y3, and lots of homework. Computer games ban" I read aloud. One of the girls smirks. Damn my stupidity. I walk up to the one that doesn't react.
"I'm Cassie." I say. She blanks me. "Hello?"
"Oh, hi. I'm Rayley"
"Hey" I say to smirker "I'm Cassie"
"I know. You just said that. I'm Chancey"
"Hey Chancey"
"Hi" I mutter and then wonder off.

Industry Research : Companies Veed to Defend Against Rising Tide of Portable Device Risk
London, November 2011 -- Responding to research claiming to show that almost a third of executives have rogue mobile devices linked to their organisation's network, Cryptzone says that this a symptom of the falling cost of technology and the increasing use of personal portable devices in the workplace.
According to Grant Taylor, the European threat mitigation specialist's VP, with the Deloitte research also showing that 87 per cent of respondents thinking that their organisation is at risk of an attack due to a lapse in mobile security, it is clear that the consumerisation of IT – and portable devices in particular – now poses a potentially major security problem for most IT security professionals.
"Whilst it is perhaps understandable that the lines between personal and business portable device usage is blurring – with employees using their business devices for personal usage - the reverse of personal devices being used for business purposes is something that really needs to be controlled," he said.
"Far too many organisations allow mobile devices to connect to company services - such as the Intranet or office email systems without the necessary security controls being imposed – often using the simplest means possible, typically on a plug-and-play basis," he added.
This, he went on to say, is despite the fact that far more stringent security and access controls are imposed on laptops, even though the computing power of the latest dual-core portable devices is far greater than the 10 inch netbooks that were all the rage just a few years ago.
The results of this Deloitte survey - which took in responses from 1,200 people - show that it is time that companies started treating mobile devices in the same cautious and secure way they treat laptops, he explained.
In fact, says Taylor, even if this means there is a slightly higher security hurdle for mobile device users to negotiate - as long as those hurdles are proportionate to the level of risk involved, then any security-conscious IT professional should implement those controls as a matter of course.
"The sad reality is that most IT security professionals are now only too well aware of the dangers posed by unauthorised mobile devices, yet it is clear from this research that many are unsure what their businesses are doing to counter the risks, which is perhaps understandable given the fact those businesses are failing to recognise the risks they face," he said.
"This isn't rocket science security either. Just as the technology that allows IT professionals to develop enhanced security for their laptops has existed for some time, so does similar technology to secure against the risks that portable devices now pose the organisation. Extending the security envelope around these portable devices is a relatively easy task – provided the management of the company understands the risks they are running," he added.

THIS WEEK'S Democratic primary saw pathetically low turnout. Only 28.9 percent of eligible voters (about 1.13 million) turned out for the gubernatorial primary, one of the most spirited — and expensive — we've seen in years. House Speaker Tom Finneran, the most powerful politician in the state, was re-elected to his Mattapan and Dorchester district without opposition. Yes, that means a Commonwealth of roughly 3.9 million eligible voters is run by a state representative elected with fewer than 10,000 votes.
In district races, low turnout was the name of the game. Two of the most intensely contested races were the battle between incumbent rep Paul Demakis and Cambridge city councilor Marjorie Decker for the Eighth Suffolk House District; and the race fought among State Representative Jarrett Barrios, Cambridge city councilor Anthony Galluccio, and Everett alderman Carol DeMaria for the seat vacated by Senate president Tom Birmingham in his run for governor. A total of 28,042 voters decided these races: 4099 in the Boston battle and 23,943 in the Chelsea race. Meanwhile, 198,000 people live in these districts.
First-time candidate Dave Friedman, who narrowly lost his reform challenge to Finneran ally Brian Golden in Brighton's 18th Suffolk House District, summed it up best in a letter he e-mailed to his supporters Wednesday morning: "In the end, my biggest disappointment is not that I lost, but that so few people voted in the primary at all. In a district of roughly 38,000 residents, only 4,099 voted in the primary, and our state representative prevailed with just 2,000 votes. When so few people choose to vote, our entire community loses."
You can say that again.
In November, Democratic gubernatorial-primary winner Shannon O'Brien will face GOP candidate Mitt Romney. Make no mistake, if Democratic voters stay at home the way they did Tuesday, get used to these two phrases: "Governor Romney" and "Lieutenant Governor Healey."
That should be enough to get lazy liberals, who like to talk about how they wish Beacon Hill would fund human services, build more affordable housing, reform health care, and pass domestic-partnership legislation — but don't bother to voice their opinion at the polls — to get to their respective city and town halls to register to vote if they haven't already. And then follow through by actually exercising the franchise November 5.
This coming election is a watershed in state politics. The GOP has not put forward a candidate this conservative in at least three decades. Romney is no Jane Swift, Paul Cellucci, or William Weld. His campaign orchestrated a blatantly homophobic appeal to GOP primary voters in the weekend before the election when it aired ads assuring the Republican faithful that neither Healey nor Romney supports gay marriage.
When it comes to gender politics, the pro-life Romney is the clean-shaven, bright-toothed, fabulous-head-o'-haired version of the missing link. He got into the race by treating Swift as if she were a low-level campaign gofer, as opposed to the sitting governor. He orchestrated Healey's campaign from start to finish, giving the Commonwealth its first-ever statewide Stepford candidate. Does anyone really think this man respects women as his political and intellectual equals?
During her acceptance speech, Healey gushed about the forthcoming "Romney era," and talked about lowering taxes. Romney is apparently unaware that the state is dealing with devastating revenue shortfalls. So much so that it's looking to save money by squeezing people on Medicaid.
Romney wouldn't be more of the same old, same old from Massachusetts Republicans. He'd be something we've never seen in these parts in the corner office: a social and fiscal conservative. A man who made his money by breaking up companies and throwing working-class people out of their jobs.
If Romney is elected, it will be a travesty. But we'd have no one to blame but ourselves.
If you're not registered today, get out there and do it now. Visit www.state.ma.us/sec/ele/eleifv/howreg.htm to learn how. In the meantime, mark November 5 on your calendar — and makes plans to vote.

Kayla: Who Are You?
The second Artemis had brought me into the hospital someone took me to a small room immediately. I was placed on the bed as someone started to tend to my wounds. What the heck had happened to me?! I soon fell asleep thinking about this. My dreams just replayed what had happened to me but I could barely see anything.
When I awoke I knew I had only been asleep for half an hour to an hour so I got up and walked out to the lobby. I expected to see Artemis there but the only one there was a girl looking really worried.
"Uhm, Did you see a guy in here maybe an hour ago?" I asked
"Uh, yeah he ran out after I brought my friend in." She said looking at me, "Oh my gosh did you get attacked to?!"
I didn't have time to talk I ran out the doors as the nurses yelled at me to come back. I went running in the direction I thought I had awoken with the bodies around me.
"Hello Kayla." Said a deep harsh voice.
I turned around to see a man standing there with one dark blue eye and one light blue.
"Who are you?" I asked.

Note: I was going for the creepy feel. Enjoy!
Own the World
He really had to thank Irie Shouichi, that lanky little kid.
The first time—the first real time, after Irie—had given him a headache akin to a sea urchin rolling around in the soft tissue of his brain. It was like before, on the verge of knowing, but now the feeling was starting to become more familiar. And, contrary to his intelligence, all he had thought of to say at the time was: "I know you."
"I know," the young man replied, as if it was the most blatantly obvious thing in the world. As if meeting his mirror image on the street was a quotidian occurrence. And why shouldn't it be? Weirder things took place in this world.
Did his hair really look like that from the left? Byakuran tilted his head. The young man did the same, running a hand through his clumpy bangs as if picking up on the thought.
"Why am I here?" Byakuran asked. The young man shrugged.
"You're the only one that knows the answer to that."
"Are you real?"
The young man laughed: a brilliant, peeling sound that tickled the air around him and cut into the center Byakuran's eardrums. Byakuran took familiarity in the sound, finding it rather soothing.
"I could ask you the same question," was the reply. "This is my world, where there is one of me. Why should you be here, when there is only room for one?"
"I'm leaving soon," Byakuran nodded. "But tell me this: if I take your place, what have I become?"
A twinkle appeared in the man's eye, and he giggled. "You're rich," he said. "And you have power. Would you like some of that?"
Byakuran said he would. So he decided to stay for a little while.
When he returned, looking in the mirror, he noticed for the first time a streak of pure white zipping through his normally brown hair.
The second time had imbued him with a delicious rush of fulfillment; a sweet, dark decadence that he supposed was the reason that had compelled him to make the journey again.
"That's not possible," he whispered, the breath puffing through his lips in a gray-tinged shock. Normally Byakuran was one to inflict feelings of disquiet an unease on anyone he wished to impose upon. Experiencing it himself, however, was a whole different matter. "It just isn't."
"Maybe not where you're from," the young man replied, dusting his hands off as he watched the other person in the room leave. "I…excuse me, you had a lot of free time. That's all it takes, really. Free time."
Byakuran pointed to the doorway. "But he was dead," he stated laconically.
The young man stuck out his tongue. "Not anymore~," he replied happily. "Didn't you see him walk out? Fit as a fiddle."
He looked a trifle smug. "We invented how to do it ourselves. Shall I show you?"
Byakuran said yes. So he decided to stay for a little while.
After some time the Gesso family became notorious for its members' unbelievable mortality rate. Their necrology had become obsolete.
The young man Byakuran met in his third trip didn't talk much. There was something…off about him, but Byakuran didn't mind.
He giggled to himself. "Amazing," he awed. "Simply amazing. I'll have to lock you up of course, but I don't think you'd have any qualms~" Byakuran looked at the young man again, with his long hair and bare marble-body that was so familiar yet somehow so alien at the same time and smiled.
"Do you want to come back with me?"
And the young man, with no feeling whatsoever, held out his hand.
The fourth time had caused him to cry.
"Where am I?" Byakuran called out softly, and he didn't mean that he himself was lost. Where was the one he was looking for…?
After some time he found a boneyard. Was it real? Was anything in this world real? Things here were wrong, the angles disproportionate, the air sour. Or was this world real and he the fake one, the smoke-ghost in a chilly breeze?
The ghost of Christmas future, Byakuran thought giddily, as he saw his name on a stone. He ran a hand through his hair, which now held a formidable amount of white as well as brown in it. And I'm ol' Ebenezer.
"But I'm right here," he said aloud, pointedly. "I'm standing here, so I can't be in there. What are you going to teach me this time?"
Only the sound of the night and the wind greeted his ears.
Byakuran sat down on the cold, wet stone where his name was engraved, and let loose a sob.
It was some time before he made a fifth venture. But he did, like a rat that is helplessly drawn to the cheese, knowing full well it could be a poison-bait. It was even more insidious.
"You'll be deceived by someone close," the young man told him, "and lose everything. I didn't know who it was. I still don't."
"What if I meet that person when I go back?"
The other man only looked at him, uncharacteristically vapid, blinking glazed purple eyes. Byakuran knew they hadn't been that awful violet hue before, as his hair hadn't been white before. All the pigments were gone.
Am I really here? Byakuran thought? Am I? An old American poem, oddly and eerily relevant, rose into his thoughts then, by Shel Silverstein:
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn't oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down.
Byakuran looked into those eyes and wondered who the real one here was. "How will I find out?" he asked again.
"Be careful," was the only advice the young man told him.
Maybe HE is right side up, and I am upside down.
"I don't like this world."
So Byakuran had each of his family's old advisors murdered in the night, and combined the Gesso and the Giglionero so that he could watch over both with a cautious eye. It was the only way, really, to ensure his future. Again and again he traveled, coming back with something new each time.
What decisions make the world?
He knew things now. Terrible things, great things. Things that squirmed and burbled and whispered in his ear when the moon came up at night. The only way to solve everything, these things said, was to destroy everything and to rule them all. There could only be one He here, and that was Him.
Byakuran is Byakuran… I is you and you is me, and together we make three
Every little decision was important, even his meals. If he had eggs instead of toast in the morning,
such an inconsequential thing, but it made the world
the possibility lingered that he could be dead of salmonella in a week. If he brought one person back from the dead instead of another, that person might betray him in the future. Then what would happen?
This or that, tit for tat, tat tat
Sometimes he saw people and wondered if they were real. If he looked hard enough, he could almost see them shimmer in and out of spectrum. Sometimes he would smile. Look at the hologram man. And really, why should you fear something if it's not real to begin with?
I AM REAL. I AM RIGHT HERE. AND I HAVE POWER (because no one else may be real except for me in this world).
The thing that scared him the most, though, was when Byakuran looked in the mirror and saw his own image fade right before his eyes, until there was nothing left at all.
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man standing in the water, I look at him and start to laugh…ha, ha, ha… tit for tatatatatataa
His hair was completely and fully stark-white now, like baby powder.
Only Uni was the one to realize first. Complete omniscience comes with a price: your sanity.


text: Saber and Conocer Both "saber" and "conocer" mean "to know." But before we look at the difference, let's look at the conjugation of these two verbs, since both are irregular in the first person singular. If I ask you how to say, "I know," you might not know. But if I ask you how to say, "I don't know," you probably remember that from high school (if you had Spanish): No sé. Here's the conjugation of saber: sé sabes sabe sabemos sabéis saben And here's the conjugation of conocer: conozco conoces conoce conocemos conocéis conocen Note that only the first person singular form is irregular. Saber and conocer aren't nearly as hard as ser and estar. "Conocer" means to know a person. Conozco a tus padres. – I know your parents. Conozco a Juan. – I know Juan. Lo conozco. – I know him. Conozco al médico. – I know the doctor. What's that pesky little "a" doing in there? We'll get to that in a minute. "Conocer" also means to be familiar with a place: Conozco Atlanta. -- I'm familiar with Atlanta. I know Atlanta. Conozco el país. – I'm familiar with the country. I know the country. Conozco los jardines botánicos.– I'm familiar with the botanical gardens. I know the botanical gardens. "Saber" means to know information. Sé la fecha. – I know the date. Sé tu número de teléfono.– I know your phone number. No sé si vienen. – I don't know if they're coming. Sé que estudias mucho. – I know you study a lot. Sé dónde vives. – I know where you live. Sé quién es el presidente. -- I know who the president is. Warning, warning, warning!!!!!!!!! Students tend to confuse "I know who he is" – Sé quién es. with "I know him." – Lo conozco. There's a big difference between "I know who the U.S. president is" and "I know the U.S. president." One is information; the other is actually knowing the person. In summary: "Conocer" means to know a person or be familiar with a place. "Saber" means to know information or to know how to do something. Remember that "a" that appeared with "conocer" sometimes? Conozco a tus padres. – I know your parents. Conozco a Juan. – I know Juan. Conozco al médico. – I know the doctor. Note that there's no "a" in these sentences: Conozco Atlanta. -- I'm familiar with Atlanta. Conozco el país. – I'm familiar with the country. Conozco los jardines botánicos.– I'm familiar with the botanical gardens. Whenever the direct object is a person, you get "a" in front of it. If it's a thing rather than a person, there's no "a." This happens not just with "conocer" but with ANY verb, with the exception of "tener": Ves a tu hermano. Ayudo a mis amigos. Necesita a su madre. Tengo una hermana.
