|Meaning: Differs from the reference object (reference). The object does not have to exist for an expression to have a meaning. Words are not related to objects in a one-to-one correspondence.

Meaning/Hintikka: If meanings are something that people can grasp and deal with, they cannot be invariant with regard to logical equivalence.
Logical equivalence/Hintikka: logical equivalence is not computable (not effective, not decidable). Therefore, the identity of meaning ((s) synonymy) cannot go along with equivalence, for then we cannot always know whether two sentences denote the same.
Solution/Hintikka: the best solution would be if we restrict the concept of a
Definition meaning, which can be grasped by humans, by "almost invariant worlds" (e.g. an urn model, in which balls are not returned, but it is not always recognizable that none are returned).
Meaning/Hintikka: meaning is therefore intentional because of the failure of logical equivalence.

With displacement at a record high, governments around the world are looking for ways to jumpstart, expand, or maximize the impact of their refugee resettlement programs. Yet the evidence base regarding the effectiveness of such programs is particularly thin. This report maps the monitoring and evaluation gaps that exist and identifies areas where further research could help inform policymakers' actions.

Now, more than ever, mobile and Internet connectivity play a crucial role in helping refugees stay safe, build livelihoods, and keep in touch with family. Yet many face challenges in getting and staying connected, both in transit and after arrival. This policy brief draws on the model of national broadband plans to propose a blueprint for improving the connectivity of refugees and host communities around the world.
The revolving door of return migration is slowing significantly for Mexican adults deported or voluntarily returned by the U.S. government, with the number intending to attempt re-entry dropping 80 percent between 2005 and 2015. Drawing from an official survey of Mexican returnees, this report explores the years of residence repatriated Mexican adults spent in the United States, time in detention, and minor children left behind.
In its first systematic attempt to track the effectiveness of different removal and enforcement strategies that migrants face after being apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Border Patrol in fiscal 2011 launched the Consequence Delivery System (CDS). This report examines the strengths and limitations of CDS, and finds that as stricter measures have been implemented, attempted re-entries have fallen.
During his first 100 days in office, President Trump has taken a sweeping set of actions on immigration, ranging from imposing a travel ban to cutting refugee admissions, "extreme" vetting, and fortifying immigration enforcement at the border and in the U.S. interior. This fact sheet examines the major immigration actions taken to date, legal challenges, and related policy and personnel developments.
Refugees in Canada have experienced mixed success when it comes to economic outcomes. While they struggle to enter the labor market, over time they catch up to other immigrants and the Canadian born. This report examines the web of programs that facilitate refugee integration, as well as differences in outcomes—including for those who are privately sponsored or resettled by the government.
A new hardline immigration law in Texas marks the resurgence of state-level restrictionist activism that had stalled in 2012 amid adverse federal court rulings. The Texas law, SB 4, is designed to end sanctuary policies in jurisdictions across the state, and closely mirrors aspects of Arizona's controversial 2010 law, SB 1070. This article explores the parallels and new state momentum to crack down on illegal immigration.
The history of dynamic migration flows throughout the Soviet Union pre- and post-collapse has significantly shaped the current migration reality in Russia. Even as borders have shifted and policies changed, inflows and outflows still occur mostly within the former Soviet space. As this article explores, Russia has worked in recent decades to strengthen its migration management system and update its residence and citizenship policies.
A number of high-profile terrorist attacks in the West have raised questions about why geopolitical events sometimes trigger strong, violent reactions in certain diaspora communities, but not in others. What could be behind this divergence in responses? This article examines how Muslim communities in London and Detroit have reacted to conflict abroad, as well as the factors that drive reactive conflict spillover.

About the authorArguably the finest profile artist in the business, John Weal's love of German aircraft makes his work a treat for students of the subject. He has written several Aces volumes, and two books on the JU 87 in the companion series Combat Aircraft.
The period covered in this volume was considered to be the 'glory years' for the Jagdwaffe - fresh from the experience gained in the Spanish Civil War - and for the Bf 109 in particular. Many famous pilots scored their first kills in the classic dogfights staged over Poland, Western Europe, the Channel and finally southern England. Some 40 Knight's Crosses were awarded in 1940 alone. However, after sweeping all before them in support of the Blitzkrieg across continental Europe, the Bf 109E pilots were to suffer badly during the Battle of Britain, the result of poor tactics inflicted upon them by the Luftwaffe High Command, and their mount's less then generous range.

Ok, so this isn't a lamp… but I think that my most recent thrift store find could have easily been entered into Better After's Ugly Lamp Contest from this month!
Isn't she absolutely hideous? What could I have possibly seen that caused me to plunk down $12 to bring her home?
Well, for lack of a better way to describe it at the moment, please trust that I have a vision for this piece… and no, I have not lost my mind. It will take a bit of elbow grease to get her how I want, but it should look great when I'm done. After that, the only question will be where it should hang!

This is a great story in the work! I love how you have portrayed Shinji and everyone else! Oh man, update soon please!
| Guest chapter 3 . 12/27/2012
The original felt more like a summary compared to the depth of this story. The characters are all much more fleshed out, and this story is already half the length of the other at just the 4th angel. This version of Kozo is very interesting, I actually would like to see other interpretation sof a Shinji raised by him. A fanficition where he decdies to take it upon himself to raise Shinji would be awesome to read. The Shinji in this is both more fantastic, while at the same time seeming somehow more realistic. This is labeled with Misato as the secondary characters, so i wonder if this is not a Shinki/Rei fic as in the original. I have to say I would like to see that expaned on very much in that case. You were able to capture Rei as girl with a crush, without realizing it, more realistically that most. The hair flipping thing was very nicely done. Seeing that relationship in this story, with the much superior depth wpould be great. Overall, I hope to see this updated, one of the best Evangelion fanfictions around. You have managed to take a good fanficition, and expanbd on it, diverge from it, and make something far superior.
| Guest chapter 3 . 11/25/2012
This, is just awesome. Freaking awesome. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
| The Sinful chapter 3 . 10/30/2012
I've seen stories where Shinji was as vicious: but in those were without explanation and featured a Shinji completely ignorant to all things modern.
I've seen stories where Shinji was as intelligent: but those were Gary Stus where everything went his way.
I've seen stories where Shinji was as careless about clothing: Actually that was a rather amusing story. Shinji was raised by a porn star and a porn author. Once you've seen your first few hundred naked people as a child, you tend to stop caring as much.
Interesting read so far at any rate.

Though I felt that the characters really could've used some more love in terms of interaction, I quite liked this.
| DirtNap chapter 3 . 8/31/2012
I have to say that this is much much better than the first riddle of steel, no slight intended it was good but this goes way above and beyond.
| Rubel chapter 3 . 8/22/2012
Very cool.
| Genericrandom chapter 3 . 8/17/2012
I love this story twice as much as I did after the last chapter, I think.
Lesse... Shinji runs on hate, and Momma knows her little boy needs no help. ...or is too afraid/disgusted/cautious/asleep to help/bother.
Misato's got it bad, but she's fighting it as hard as a lonely, lonely, lonely person can. I either give her three chapters tops, or she's going to make some kind of "mistake" that causes her a sufficient hangup to drag things out.
Asuka's coming early, and something about either that or about how Shinji killed the Angel has Gendou /very/ pleased.
Which actually makes me think/wonder. Fuyutuski and Rokubungi are often portrayed as 80's buddy cops in love with the same (dead) woman. Something about the end of this chapter makes me wonder if they were truly on opposite sides. I suspect that's the case but some instinct or irrational impulse makes me think "it's not quite that simple somehow".
I really can't wait to see what comes next.
Also, you have an 'onto' somewhere in the story that should have been an 'on top' I think, and another missing letter that I forgot the location and nature of.
| obliviandragon chapter 3 . 8/16/2012
Hahaha when Shinji said protein, I also said protein and drank my whey with milk! Good story here I like your rewrites you put a lot of effort into them and I can appreciate that. I look forward to the next couple of chaps hopefully you can knock them out like you did with the Superman: redux but if I have to wait a bit thats fine too.
| Qwertyui chapter 3 . 8/14/2012
The thing I like about this is that you can make it more adult than LCoK. Although I kinda hope you don't make Asuka part of Shinji's harem, it would be to obvious and boring. I am looking foward to Kaji feeling threatened by Misato's attraction to Shinji.
Thanks for the update.

I my last post I had shared a view of the 240-minute time frame and the exhaustion area I was watching there. Prices came close but never reached the area where I felt that the bullish momentum would shift as it ran into selling pressure so I began looking at more near-term resistance within the uptrend that the shorter-term time frames were in, like the 15, 30, and 60-minute charts.
So by now it's obvious that idea behind an exhaustion and reversal in the USD/CHF has followed through lower, now the question is where is the buying support? Take a look at the 1.0244 to 1.0288 area on the chart below.

The Takeaway
The Art of Rap
When people think of music as art they may think of a piano sonata by Mozart or a thrilling piece of be-bop by Charlie Parker, but a new documentary suggests that the title of "art" should also be bestowed on hip hop.
Legendary rapper Ice T is the director of a new film called "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap," which opens in limited release today. Jonathan Hailey is a hip hop expert and assistant editor of the UrbanDaily.com. He's here to tell us whether the film makes a convincing argument for rap being art. MC Lyte, who is featured in the film, was the first female rapper to achieve gold status.

In a measured but sombre voice, the captain explained someone had gone overboard. Our cruise ship, Pacific Pearl, was involved in a search for the missing person.
Somewhere out there was a man in a white T-shirt. And with that thought rippling among us, the beautiful, benign sea made me feel insignificant.
We weren't just looking for a speck in the sea, we were all specks. We were at the mercy of the Pacific.

Coward's Herb
"The letter, then, it is not a secret?" I ask.
"It's no secret, though few know about it," Ben shrugs, "Koso is an introvert, you can't blame him. He's suffered. Don't look at me like that, I'm quite aware that he isn't the only one. It's a wonder you two have had a conversation within this past decade, you cowards."
He is only half-serious, but he's right and I can't rebuke him. I let out a breath.
"The letter is old, then, of no hope."
Ben so obviously wants to tell me that I am wrong, wants to give me hope, but can't. There is no substance to the argument of hoping. I turn my gaze to the ground. I want to spit.
"Look at me," Ben says, but I am too slow and he grasps me by the shoulder. His face has something- fire, will- that intensifies his words. "Look, there is hope only so long as there is action. Hope can die. We will be complacent. If you don't like it, do something about it."
He rises, and I with him. I take in the view of all the people around us. They are not mine, I have no claim of ownership or leadership, but we are together. Some glance at us as they walk by. I can name everyone, I know their children and their professions. Naomi has an armful of corn in one hand and a toddler clutching the other. Jasper is selling fruit across the circle, his face permanently crinkled from smiling too hard the first year, trying to make up for the dearth of happiness.
A woman walks toward us from the market ring. She wears the apron of an herbalist, and motions at us as she weaves through the people. Zink.
She hugs Benson first, with affection and zeal, greeting us with quick words. Everything about Zink is quick; her mind, her speech, her temper. She embraces me around the neck and kisses my cheek lightly.
"What are you two doing today?"
"Talking about the past, about change, about all the maybes." I say. She smiles, rolls her eyes.
"You two are all talk. Ben can't get out of the past, and you're stuck on the future. Live a little, boys," she jibes. She is especially quick today, her mind on multiples. Benson notices, too.
"What's got you so full of yourself, then?" he asks with a smile. She turns back to us, she'd been looking over her shoulder.
"I've got a pair of girls who have signed on to help me, apprentice I guess, though we weren't exactly asking for it. I couldn't say no, I guess I'm just so charitable. Anyway, they're with the shop now, and it's making me nervous."
"You just don't like other people doing your work," I tell her. She smiles and responds,
"That's pretty true."
She has blue eyes, a rarity, and they laugh at me. I can never be sure what she and I are together, but I forget my hollowness here. Her nervous glances towards her store eventually lead her back to it, with me alongside her. Benson leaves us for other pursuits of the day.

I found it incredibly easy to talk to this girl, despite our differences, and I soon stopped comparing each reaction and comment she made with Celeste, and started focusing completely on her. She was engaging, with a sense of humour and an open look on the world which made me seriously doubt whether she truly hated the upper classes. She only disagreed with the barriers between them, and the treatment of those who were lower, which was completely understandable. If she was telling me how the rest of the resistance felt, I suddenly began to feel that they might have a new member, in myself.
"Are you alright?" She asked, and I realised I'd been staring out of the window, deep in thought.
"Sorry. I was just thinking about my brother." I covered.
"What about him?"
"What you said earlier, about him marrying your sister. I just wondered if he knows what he's getting himself in to."
"I'm sure he does. I've seen them together, in my shop. Although now I think about it, he was polite to me then... you may be right about him."
I chuckled softly.
"Thank you. I'm glad I may be right about my own brother."
She rolled her eyes and sipped her drink again. I had found the food and drink to be delightful here, although highly different from what I was used to. There was more flavour, and everything was a different colour or different shape.
"So what do you do?" She asked.
"Do? Ah you mean my work." I thought quickly and decided that working in the halls would make me useful to the resistance, should she let them know about me. "I work in the Selvite halls. My brother got me the job, so he can make sure I am looked after. My sister works there too."
"That seems kind."
"It was. And what do you sell in your shop?"
"Ingredients for spells. It's one of the most popular trades, so we have to keep the prices low, and that sucks." She shrugged, her hands wrapped around the cup she drank from.
"I'm sure it does." I grinned. "And what do you like to do in your abundant spare time?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh you know, so much free time... I like to read."
"Read? Read what?" I asked, interested.
"Anything I can get my hands on. Books aren't that available to us, as you know, and so anything that comes my way I snatch up immediately. I even..." She leaned closer and beckoned for me to do the same. Close up I was struck by the beauty that she held; not the obvious beauty of her sister but a much more understated, soft and kind beauty. "... This one time a spell book came in to the shop. A selvite had ordered it along with some ingredients, and it took me so much effort to get it in I figured, what's the harm in looking? So I read a bit."
"Did you understand it?" I asked, curious. Durmans were not supposed to read spell books that exceeded their ability. It was illegal and if I was in my usual capacity I would be expected to hand her over for punishment. Thank goodness I wasn't.
"Some parts, yes. There are some of the methods that I can't understand because apparently they have to be taught, but I know the ins and outs."
"Have you ever tried doing one of them?"
"Of course not!" She exclaimed. "Someone would find me within seconds. Especially if it went wrong."
"Of course." It was then I think that she realised we were still almost nose to nose, leaning over the table. I couldn't help but smile at her; she had an adorable nose and I found myself wanting to... wait, stop.
What on earth?
Safiya pulled back, embarrassed and took a sip of her drink without looking at me, which gave me time to collect myself. What on earth was that? I had let myself get too involved in this act and now I was beginning to think of her... like that. I had never had those thoughts... well, not since the adolescent insanity that every young boy goes through.
"You think a lot." She observed, pulling me once more from my reverie.
"Some would say that was a good thing." I replied, smiling at her.
"Are you finished?" She asked, putting down her empty cup.
"Yes. I shall pay."
"No, you can't!" She replied.
"I get paid more, working for my brother. Allow me." I covered, realising that it probably wasn't normal behaviour to offer to pay if you had just met someone. Lack of money made sure of that.
"Well... thank you." She smiled. I paid and then followed her out of the café. "I'd better get back to work now." She sighed, looking across the street at the shop.
"I would be very interested to see where you work. I was sent to pick up supplies by my brother anyway; I see no reason why I cannot get them from your shop." I was anxious to spend more time with her, although I convinced myself it was because I needed to know about the resistance. I could not yet bring it up, and estimated that it would be a good number of weeks before I could without suspicion. Unless of course, she brought it up first.

Inside Two Minds 6

Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Inside Two Minds 6
So there I was, at the bottom of a pit. A simple, dug out pit covered with vines and leaves that they use all the time in cartoons. It was the simplest trap that I should have seen right through. But like an idiot, I sprung it and ended up in a pit. Well, at least I wasn't alone, although considering the company; I thought I might as well have been. See, the other person in the pit was Derek.
"Vanessa, is that you?" asked Derek when I hit the bottom.
"Derek? What are you doing down here?" I asked.
"I came earlier this morning, but…well, you might be able to guess what happened," said Derek.
"Derek, I have to tell you…Jack's back," I said, feeling slightly ashamed.
He looked at me. From the dim light coming from the top of the hole, I could see his face. He looked pained and shocked all at the same time. The look on his face made me feel like I had done something wrong. Like I had taken his heart, torn it out of his chest, and made him eat it or something.
"You went to Jack? After what he did to you?" asked Derek, sounding like he couldn't believe it.
"I forgave him. Just like I forgave you Derek," I replied.
"Did I kill your friend?"
"Yes, actually. And Jack just refused to help Terence. You just outright murdered over twenty of us."
"How many times do I have to apologize for that?"
"You don't, I forgave you."
"Well, you sure like to keep bringing it up."
"Just leave me alone."
He pulled out his dagger and I gasped. I scrambled, trying to get up the wall, but he rolled his eyes.
"The knife isn't for you Vanessa, it's for me."
I looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean it's for you?" He tossed the knife at my feet and knelt down in front of me.
"Do it. You'll get to finally be rid of me. I won't get in the way of your relationship with Jack. I'll never hurt you again. And maybe I'll be granted with glorious freedom from the cruelties of this world."
I realized with horror that he wanted me to kill him. He wanted me to kill him because he was a burden and sick of life. I felt tears burning in my eyes, threatening to spill over my cheeks and drop to the ground. I stood against the wall, staring from the dagger to Derek to the spot of light at the top of the hole, the lump in my throat growing bigger and bigger in my throat. Was this what Mickey had meant? Was I to sacrifice a life to save a love that would one day save the kingdom? I hoped against all hope that it wasn't the right sacrifice, that this was just a bump in the road. When almost three hours had passed, Derek sat up and looked up at me. He saw in my eyes that I wasn't going to do it. He reached out for the dagger and snatched it up in his hand.
"Watch or not, I really don't care. As long as I'm not alone when I go, I can go in peace," said Derek. He took a deep breath and was about to plunge the dagger into his heart when I flew at him and grabbed the dagger. I stabbed it into the dirt wall of the pit and clung onto Derek, the tears finally spilling from my eyes.
I couldn't stand by and meekly let him die. I had loved him once before, no matter what kind of magic Manny used to make me think otherwise. Derek may have been scarred then, but I had done this to him. All he'd wanted was for me to go to a dance with him, but Manny got in the way, making me kiss Jack. He knew that I would start to cry. He knew I would run to the gazebo. He knew I would find Derek there. He knew Derek was going to ask me to that dance. He knew I wouldn't be able to say yes. He probably knew Derek would fake his death and run to Pitch's deception. He'd known everything all along and yet hadn't stopped any of it from happening. He was supposed to be guarding children. Derek, although fourteen, still qualified as a child. Manny and I were both responsible for pushing the scarred boy over the edge.
"Derek, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If only I had just said yes to go to that dance with you none of this would have happened," I said through my sobs.
"How could any of this be your fault? I made everything complicated. I ran to Pitch when I knew what he'd done. I'm the problem. I need to be gone," said Derek, stroking my hair.
"No! That isn't true!"I exclaimed. "This is all Manny's fault."
"The man in the moon? Please Vanessa, he guards children. How could he be responsible for all of my problems?"
"That day in the gazebo, when you wanted to ask me to that dance, I wanted to say yes. There was a little voice in the back of my head that told me to say yes. Manny was controlling me, making me cry when there was nothing to cry about, making me feel nothing when everyone else was crying. When they told me you were dead, I didn't shed a tear until almost half an hour later, and all because Manny wanted me to get to know Jack. He's been controlling my emotions ever since the day Jack showed up."
"So you don't really love him?"
"No, I do. Just…I would have been with him sooner or later, but Manny needed sooner. All of this is happening for a reason. He needed you to run to Pitch. He needed us to fight the hobogoblins. There's a bigger threat coming. All the pieces will fit into place the moment that bigger threat comes along."
"So, I'm supposed to be the bad guy? Well, I'm nobody's puppet. Be like Merida. Make our own fate." He reached for the dagger in the wall, but I pushed his arm back down.
"Derek, maybe making your own fate isn't such a good thing. I was supposed to make a sacrifice. I don't know what kind of sacrifice, but I will have to make it."
"Is that really so good? I've sacrificed everything I had, everything I am, because of you, and yet you don't even love me."
"That is not true."
"You told me moments ago that you loved Jack. You can't have it both ways Vanessa. Either you love me, or you love him."
"Derek, I don't…"
"No excuses. If you want him, fly away and leave me to my dagger. You want me, we both leave together and you break up with Jack."
"But…Derek, Jack and I were supposed to have a daughter who will save the kingdom someday."
"If you loved me, the kingdom would be nothing to you. You'd trade anything to keep me in your life."
So this was the sacrifice Mickey was talking about. Derek or the fate of the kingdom? What was more important? I guarded the strength of children all over the world. I could make him strong again. All I had to do was say yes. But how could I do that with the kingdom on the line? Being a Guardian wasn't fair. There's no room for choosing both, you have one or the other. So, with tears in my eyes and the future of the kingdom cast aside, I kissed Derek. We held onto each other and I could feel him growing stronger. Really, I could. I can sense stuff like that. Just to be cool, I made a tie out of the wonder sparkles like he'd been wearing on the first day I met him, blue with black stripes. I put it around his neck and smiled.
"There. Now, you have to promise me Derek. You have to stay away from Pitch and dark magic and everything else like that. And your dagger is never going to solve any of your problems. Can you promise me you'll stay away from it?"
"I'd promise you anything Vanessa." He kissed me again. I flew out of the pit and threw a rope down for Derek to climb up. When we were at the top, we ran for the tower. I flew up through the window.
The battle had apparently gotten heated while I was sitting in a pit. Merida's left arm was in a sling, and Hiccup's good leg was in a cast, making it no longer his good leg. Technically speaking, he didn't have a good leg anymore. There was a dark girl I didn't recognize, with her black hair in hundreds of tiny little braids. She had a bandage all up her arm. I didn't see Jack, but the rest of them finally noticed me. Merida ran over and wanted to hug me, but she thought better of it before she lifted her arm.
"Thank the Lord! Jack's out looking for you. Second time today," said Merida.
"What time is it?" I asked. It was dark outside and the moon was out.
"Full past two in the mornin'," said Merida. "Oh, so be quiet, because a lot of the girls are sleeping."
"Okay, but could I borrow a rope? Derek's down there," I replied. Merida looked livid.
"If there were, I wouldn't tell you about it. He kidnapped all these girls, I don't know what would happen if we brought him up here," said Merida.
I looked around for Jasmine, she always knew what to do in circumstances like this. When I'd searched the room four times, I realized she wasn't there. I turned to Merida.
"Where's Jasmine?" I asked.
"She fell in battle. Why do you think I don't want him up here? Aladdin would kill him! For that matter, so would almost everyone, including me."
"You guys can't just put it aside for two minutes?"
"No! If I forgive him now, what's the point of even staying? I would be lying to myself and so would anyone who forgave him. Including you."
"You hate him. I can see it burning in the back of your mind. Anything that you say or do with him is all fake. He means nothing to you! Admit it!"
"He means something to me!"
"Would you trade his life for Jack's?"
That question made me pause. What if I just had? What if saving Derek meant losing Jack forever? If that was true, maybe what I'd just done was a mistake. If Jack found out…I didn't even want to think of what might happen.
"Merida, what should I do with Derek?"
"Kill him."
"What, you didn't want the truth? Fine. Send him back to his fortress."
That actually wasn't a bad idea. I flew out the window and landed next to Derek.
"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go in there. Maybe you should just go back to your base."
Derek looked angry. "Well, I guess I'll be killing myself then. Goodbye." Then he turned around and stalked away. I wanted to stop him, but I knew I couldn't.
I flew back up into the tower. Merida seemed happy that Derek wasn't with me. She settled down for bed and I sat up waiting for Jack. He came almost two hours later. He probably wouldn't have known it was me except for the fact that I was making random stuff out of wonder sparkles and then turning it back into sparkles, repeating the process again and again. When he saw me, he ran at me and scooped me up in a bear hug. I hugged him back, happy that he was okay.
"Where were you?" asked Jack.
"I fell in a pit. But I'm not hurt," I said.
"Thank God. So, what happened?"
"It was that stupid simple trap from all those cartoons. You know those ones they cover with leaves to make it look like there's nothing there. Yeah, I can't believe that I fell for that." Jack laughed.
"Well, I found some stuff out. Like what we're going to face in a few days. And the worst part is, the only way to get rid of it is with a sacrifice." I gasped. This was important. I settled down as he told me everything he'd found out.

I wish I had all of them in a book to reaf
I'm working on that. I have the princess dorm waiting off to the side for when my mom lets me use the printer. I shall print it out and stuff it into a binder to show my english teacher. Same with flight of the princess. Oh, and one question. What do you think is most appealing about my books? I ask all my readers that, so just answer honestly.

Surf Photo Tags
We've been running the photoLab for over year now and it has been a great success; you have uploaded over 20,000 photos, far beyond what we ever thought might happen. The only problem with this is that there are now so many photos that it's hard to find anything. We need to organise and one of the ways we'd like you to help is by tagging the photos you view. By sheer weight of numbers this will sort the photos into different categories, making things much easier to find. You can see all the tags below: the bigger the word the more people have tagged it.
Of course we'll also do our bit and we've generally tidied up and made things easier to find and navigate. We're also adding a couple of new features to help viewers and photographers sort their own photos out. Right now you can log in to start adding photos to your own personal gallery page...

Yo! Me again, Kyoko Sakuma! This time it's a song-fic. Song: Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton. Manga: Death Note. Pairing: Matt/Mello, of course! :-) Okay, so, I'm not going to do that obnoxious type the lines in the middle of the 'fic in italics thing because I feel like it distracts people from the story. This is more inspired by that song than following the song. I'll type the lyrics for each chapter at the end of it. I intend for this to be multi-chapter, but we'll see how that works out. 'Ta! Ny-chan says hi!
Oh, and, yeah, obviously I don't own Death Note or Vanessa Carlton.
Matt slumped against a tree in the yard and pulled out his gameboy. As he flipped the switch to the 'on' position and watched the game's title sequence, his mind began to wander. It wasn't as if he had anything better to do. He didn't have many good friends at Wammy's House. Sure, he'd made one or two buddies he would play with now and then in his few years there, but he didn't have a BEST friend, like Mario had Luigi or Sonic had Tails. He made more enemies than friends, actually. His weird way of dressing- black and white striped shirt, cargo shorts, brown vest, combat boots, and goggles- and his obsession with everything electronic made him a natural target for bullies. In fact…
"Hey, Fish-boy, whatcha got there?" An older boy loomed over Matt and snatched his gameboy away before he could respond.
"Ah- Pokemon Emerald. Very nice."
"Give it back!" Matt yelled, jumping up and down as the older boy held it just out of his reach.
"Sorry, but I don't feel like it." He smirked. "You know, I heard somewhere that the inside of a gameboy is very colorful. Want to find out if it's true, Fish-boy?"
"Give it back!" Matt jumped higher and higher, but to no avail. The older boy finally pushed him down and raised the hand with the gameboy, ready to dash it on the ground.
A voice broke through Matt's shouts. "I believe he said 'give it back' just now."
The boy turned to see his new opponent. Matt gazed past his legs, tears stinging his eyes, and beheld the most welcome sight he had seen in a long time. A boy of about four-and-a-half feet with blonde hair and bright blue eyes gazed up at the bully with surprising intensity.
"What did you say?" Matt wasn't sure if the bully was more shocked or angry about the sudden appearance of this new boy.
"I said that he said to give it back."
"Oh, really? He said to give it back? That's too bad, because I have no intention of doing that."
"I think you should."
"And who's going to make me? You? Hah. I've seen more threatening girls. You sure you're not a girl yourself, Blondie?"
That sentence seemed to set off a trigger in the younger male. A wave of pure anger passed over his face and he swiftly kicked the older boy in the shin with all his might. The boy howled in pain and grabbed at his leg.
Meanwhile, the new boy had passed him by and held out his hand to Matt. Matt hesitantly took it and the boy pulled him to his feet.
"I'm Mello," he said simply. "Nice to meet you."
"I'm… M-Matt," Matt stammered. This Mello was so beautiful…
"Hey! You little brat! Don't think you can get away with that!" Matt watched helplessly as Mello turned to face the bully again just in time to get his beautiful face smashed in by a fist.
Thirty minutes later, Matt watched from behind a corner as Mello sat in a chair outside the nurse and held a rag to his bleeding nose. He wanted to go over there so badly but he was scared stiff and, even if he did go over there, he had no idea what he would say when he got there, and this Mello seemed rather intimidating and would probably be sarcastic and cynical and…
"Are you just going to stand there?"
Matt jumped at the voice. He looked up from the spot on the floor his eyes had been trained on and saw two blue eyes looking directly back at him.
"What?" Matt never was very good with vocabulary.
"Never mind. Hey, come here," Mello said as he shifted in his seat. Matt, not knowing what else to do, obeyed.
"Listen, I'm sorry you got your face messed up because of me," Matt began, his voice shaky.
Mello stared at him. "It's not your fault. Don't be sorry."
"But, if you hadn't intervened, you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Matt was confused.
"Yes, but I wanted to intervene, so it's my fault, not yours." Matt started to protest, but one sharp glance from Mello was enough to hush him up. Mello sighed and turned towards the wall. He mumbled something Matt couldn't hear.
"What was that?" Matt asked. Mello raised his voice ever so slightly.
"You're very cute."
Matt's breath hitched. He was nine years old and no one had EVER called him cute before, not even the little old ladies he saw walking in town when he snuck out of the orphanage.
"What'd you say?"
Mello slowly turned back to face him and answered with a blank expression, "You have weird shoes."
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just trying to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
Ah, so, like? Not like? I shall only continue it if I get at least 3 reviews for this chapter because… well… (blush) Kyoko Sakuma just got a boyfriend. :-) Ny-chan likes my boyfriend, too. Anywho, off to bed for me! G'night, reader-sama!

Where Does John Reed & Jay Cody Begin & End!
John Reed's book about growing up in Waltham in the late 1970s and early 1980s is under the category of fiction, but parts of it could very well be straight from a memoir.
The main character from the recently released book, "Another Lousy Day in Paradise," is Jay Cody, and it's hard to decipher exactly where Reed ends and Cody begins.
In the book, Cody gets a fake ID and sneaks into dance clubs on Lansdowne Street in Boston, just as Reed did when he was 15 years old. Later, Cody gets caught up in a major brawl at the old Wal-Lex Recreation Center, based on a real-life story that made the nightly news, and Reed was in the middle of that melee.
As Reed said about Cody, "for the most part it's me."
But not everything is. At one point, Cody shoplifts records from the now defunct Jungle Record Store in Waltham and re-sells them at the high school.
"I did not do that," he said, laughing. "I know who did do that, but I did not do that."
Just like Cody, Reed attended Waltham High School from 1979 to 1982. After graduation, he worked at Nautilus Gym in Cambridge – a perfect fit for Reed, who was an Arnold Schwarzenegger disciple and gym rat.
Once he turned 20 years old, Reed became a journalist and wrote music reviews for several publications. Nowadays, he works for Tufts University as a prospect researcher and has been the Saturday night DJ at the E Room inside the Golden Temple in Brookline for the past 10 years.
Although he had the idea to write the book back in high school, Reed said he didn't actually start work on it until about 10 years ago.
Inspired by his English teacher, Richard Collins, Reed was drawn to the larger-than-life characters from his youth and the places and music of the time.
"There were so many colorful people, characters, people around you," he said. "This city is full of character. I love Waltham."
The book is strongly tied to the location and time of the story, as well as the slang. People who attended Waltham High School during the same time might recognize terms in the book such as "Hawkers," used as a derogatory term to describe the student-athletes at the school.
Although much of the action in the book takes place at the high school, Reed said it is not meant for a younger crowd, describing it as an "R-rated" book.
Reed described Cody as a "typical 15-year-old."
"He's self absorbed, a little on the selfish side," Reed said. "I don't think he's a bad guy, but he's got his bad traits."
Early in the book, Cody's life is changed when he goes to the General Cinemas to see "Saturday Night Fever." He is instantly attracted to the character of Tony Manero, played by John Travolta, and soon models himself after the disco king.
Reed had the same reaction when he saw the movie, which he said is often mischaracterized by many.
"If you took away the white suit and the disco soundtrack, it's a hard edge movie," said Reed. "It could be a Scorsese movie. It's very harsh and rough."
Both Cody and Reed refer to the movie simply as "Fever."
"(Cody) really related to Tony Manero so well that the rest of his high school life, he'd always go back to, 'how would he handle this situation?' " said Reed.
Reed also strove to depict the racial divide that existed in Waltham in those years, between the city's Hispanic and white populations.
"Back in the 70s there was a lot of racial tension in Waltham," he said.
For example, the incident at the Wal-Lex, where several people were injured, involved a gang and was deeply rooted in the racial divisions of the time.
"It just exploded one night," said Reed.
The book ends on New Years Eve, signaling the end of 1983, a moment Reed characterizes as the end of an era.
"I felt the late 70s, early 80s were such a special time to a lot of people," he said. "It's not a time that's focused on. … When 84 kicked in, the world seemed to get a little more serious and dangerous … the drugs got more serious, the AIDS virus was mainstream."
Cody also changes, realizing the folly of his adulation for Manero.
"When he gets out of high school, (Cody) realizes, '(Manero) worked in a paint store,' " said Reed. "He's a cliché going nowhere, which is a line from the movie. He realizes, 'I'm probably idolizing the wrong guy here.' "
The title of the book comes from one of Reed's childhood teachers who once described Waltham as a paradise. Reed said he added "lousy day" to the title because of the racial tension of the time as well as the trials and tribulations of being a teenager.
The 47-year-old Reed was born in Waltham, and although he lives in Arlington now, he said he would move back to the Watch City.
"It's changed, but I still think it's full of character," he said. "I am so beyond happy and proud that I got to (write this book) and I got to put Waltham in the story. I am so happy that I was fortunate enough to have this happen."
John Reed's book, "Another Lousy Day in Paradise," can be purchased for the Amazon Kindle (or for reading via computer) by clicking here.

U.S. EPA demands extensive review of oil sands pipe
By Timothy Gardner and Ayesha Rascoe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency raised new concerns about TransCanada Corp's proposed $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline that would bring oil sands crude from Canada to refineries in Texas.
In a letter to the State Department, the EPA cited two small leaks on an existing Keystone line last month as cause for alarm. The letter came at the end of the public comment period for a second environmental analysis on the line, considered a crucial link for easing a growing glut of crude in the U.S. Midwest.
While it remains uncertain whether the EPA's views could cause further delays, they will stoke debate over a project that has become a flashpoint for environmentalists concerned over the carbon emissions related to oil sands and the dangers of a new oil line bisecting the United States.
The State Department expects to decide whether the 700,000 barrel-per-day pipeline can go forward before the end of the year, but has faced sustained opposition from the EPA. State's approval, which is required because it is an international line, has been pending since November 2008.
In its letter, the EPA reasserted familiar objections about potential leaks from the pipeline that would hurt groundwater and that the heavy oil it carries would raise health-damaging emissions at U.S. Gulf Coast oil refineries.
But it also said that two recent leaks on TransCanada's existing line from Canada to Cushing, Oklahoma, known simply as Keystone, underscored the need for the State Department to "carefully consider" both the route of the planned expansion and what measures are needed to prevent and detect spills.
"With respect to the spill detection systems proposed by (TransCanada), we remain concerned that relying solely on pressure drops and aerial surveys to detect leaks may result in smaller leaks going undetected for some time, resulting in potentially large spill volumes," the EPA said.
Requiring ground-level inspections of valves and other parts of the pipeline several times a year, in addition to plane patrols of the pipeline, could improve the ability to detect leaks or spill and limit any damage, the agency said. Continued...

I contemplated the idea that I had done something wrong.
I thought through a whole four hours with no result.
I shook it off and decided to distract myself with Facebook.
No one had any news that day, or from days before, other than Marcus was angry with "someone". I guessed that was me. I sighed and clicked onto Eilidh's profile, just to look at some pictures from our honeymoon in Ibiza.
But something caught my eye.
Eilidh went from "In a relasionship" to "It's complicated".
Did this mean she wanted out? Did it mean she wanted to tell me what was wrong? Why didn't she? Tears began to build up so I turned off the laptop.
Maybe I should apologize to Marcus. He was only saying "hi". But then, why should I have apologized? I didn't do anything wrong, really. Well, I did shout at him, because he put the idea's of divorce in my head. I collapsed on the bed and picked up the phone, almost shaking.
I dialled the number and waited.
"Hello?" Nancy picked up, Marcus' mom.
"Hey, Aunt Nancy. Can I talk to Marcus, please?" I said, trying to cover my shaky voice.
"Sure, Donny. I must warn you though, he's been a bit down lately. Here he is." She whispered and I heard the phone being moved around.
"Come on, Marcus. He wants to talk to you." I heard Nancy say in the distance.
"I don't want to talk to anyone." Marcus sounded as though he was really upset. Could I have upset him that much?
"Too bad. Here you go." Nancy handed Marcus the phone back.
"Hello, Donny." A dreary voice said into the phone.
"Hey, Marcus. I want to apologize for what I said yesterday. That was really rude of me and it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry." I said in one breath.
Silence took over for a few moments, then I heard a sigh.
"Thats ok. I'm just going through some stuff at the moment too. Sorry for what I said." He sniffed.
"What sort of stuff? I could help." I said, hoping it was going to be easy. I stood up.
"Girl stuff."
I looked down, really wishing I hadn't asked.
"Marcus, honey, I need the phone." I heard Nancy say faintly.
"Oh, you probably heard that, Donny. Bye." Marcus hung up without me getting a chance to say goodbye.
I collapsed down onto the bed again. It smelled of Eilidh. I stared at the drawer where she kept her underwear. Maybe she had left some behind...

Chennai (Tamil Nadu), May 30 (ANI): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will investigate the alleged 2G spectrum scam that has put Union Telecom Minister A Raja in the controversial spotlight.
"CBI has registered a case and we are undertaking investigations. We will not share anything till we complete our investigations," said Ashwini Kumar, CBI Director.
Meanwhile, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the main opposition party in Tamil Nadu, staged a protest rally and demanded the resignation of Raja over his role in the allocation of 2G spectrum licenses.
"Because of the 2-G spectrum scandal the country has suffered a revenue loss to the tune of Rs one lakh crores. And the involved telecom minister Mr. Raja should be immediately dismissed, a case should be booked against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act and he should be arrested," said AIADMK leader V Mythereyan.
"And to find out the root cause of this mega scam, a joint parliamentary committee probe should be ordered," he added.
Raja had said in October last year that he would not step down from his position in the wake of charges that his spectrum allocation policies have caused a revenue loss of 60,000 crore rupees.
"I will not step down. Ours is a government that has followed all rules to the latter and spirit by following the recommendations of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India)," he said.
Raja also alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government was involved in the "biggest ever scam", as it distributed free spectrum to operators depriving the exchequer of over 1,60,000 rupees crore revenue.
Raja added that the NDA government not only distributed free spectrum, but also violated all norms by giving the frequency far in excess of 4.4 MHz to many leading operators. (ANI)

So you might question if this is really you only older and wiser. All I can say is you'll know. Things in High School are pretty amazing right now. I think it was the best time to be 16 in the 80's. Not quite Brady bunch- but not the deranged "South Park" existance of many teens nowadays. By the way thats a show thats popular now...vulger and gross.
Your Mom and Dad? You aren't going to have them long so just listen to every word. Treasure them and tell them how much you love them every day.
You've just started driving which is a huge stepping stone to growing up. Don't let a little accident (not your fault) change your trust of adults. Most of em are pretty good and honest. They don't ALL lie to cops.
College? GO! Go to Cali. Big step away from Fla but don't stay and go to UNC....too close you'll end up leaving to go home because you think you are in LOVE.
Speaking of love? You don't have any idea what that is till you are at least 25 or older. Don't sell yourself short for some guy. You are a beautiful, super smart person and you'll go far. You will own your own business and be the very best at what you do.
Be honorable, stay safe, don't party TOO much (but party enough to create the memories)
Stay away from the ski slopes you might break something...lol (oh yeah you don't know what that means... it means "Laugh Out Loud". This is a part of a new lingo used by people on the computer! YES.. it's not just those little TRS-80's from Radio Shack anymore.
Finally....Invest in GOOGLE while you can... you wont be sorry....don't forget... G-O-O-G-L-E!!!!
Your life is blessed now and will continue to be for many years. The world will change and not for the better. Enjoy it while you can.
Just know I think about you all the time, and I am glad you are who you are. It could be much worse.
Never forget....REDHEADS ROCK!!!

Communications companies will be required to store records of customers' phone and internet use for 12 months in long-awaited measures overhauling the laws on surveillance by the state being published today.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has dropped several measures from legislation – dubbed the "Snooper's Charter" – which was blocked by the Liberal Democrats in the Coalition government.
But the draft Investigatory Powers Bill will come under attack from civil liberties groups for increasing the ability of the intelligence services to obtain access to the personal internet use of millions of citizens and to mount "data-mining" exercises.
It will also face criticism from MPs and peers from across the spectrum if it fails to transfer the authority to issue warrants from ministers to judges. Mass collection of information will enable GCHQ to launch the data-mining programmes which police and the intelligence agencies argue is crucial for tracking terrorists, as well as uncovering paedophiles and finding missing people.
The extent of surveillance by the Government's Cheltenham listening-post was detailed in 2013 in documents obtained by the US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The new Bill will put the practices on a statutory footing.
Government sources said the measures will ensure any access to such internet connection records will be strictly limited. Much attention will focus on the system under which surveillance warrants are authorised. Ms May is expected to announce that they will initially be issued by Cabinet ministers but then be reviewed by security-cleared senior judges.
David Cameron described the Bill as "one of the most important pieces of legislation" before Parliament over the next five years. He told the Cabinet that its measures would go to "heart of the Government's duty to keep the British public safe".
Sources disclosed the legislation would strengthen the safeguards governing local authorities' access to data. Councils will be fined if they abuse their powers and their access to records of internet, telephone and internet use will be strictly limited to investigation of criminal offences.
"Communications data is an essential tool for the full range of law enforcement, including serious offences investigated by local authorities like rogue traders and benefit fraud," a source said. "Sometimes communications data is the only way to identify offenders, particularly where offences are committed online. it is important people understand that communications data is only ever used in a necessary, proportionate and accountable way."

The two companies have since justified the collection of data. In a letter to the US congress Apple confirmed it collected the data and said that, in order to be useful, "the databases [of tower and network locations] must be updated continuously". A Google spokesman told the Guardian Android phones explicitly asked to collect anonymous location data when users turned them on.

The draft Bill reflects wide agreement that the 15-year-old legislation governing communications is fragmented and outdated given the rapid pace of technological change.
The Government insists that its measures will strengthen oversight of surveillance and improve the transparency governing the intelligence services' activities. It said it had blocked a request from the police to allow full access to web-browsing habits and ruled out banning the encryption of messages.
But Shami Chakrabarti of Liberty has condemned the Home Office for "frantic spinning" to distract attention from moves towards the blanket collection of private data.She accused the department of initially asking for the "most outrageous, even impractical, powers" so that even the smallest so-called concessions seem more reasonable.Reuse content
