This is one of the best shirts I have seen in a while, paired with one of the best write-ups I've seen in an even longer while! I'm so scared I've crumbled all over myself!!!! LOL
Congrats Tony , bien merecido amigo!!
Now no 8, 10, or 12?? The best kids shirt to come along in a long time and you don't have blanks to cover it?
And the ladies small has hips in it. Suppose I could get that and nip in the hips. Nah -- too much work.

I won't buy woot shirts anymore.
Yeah, but if you only bought a few in the past several years, that essentially means there were hundreds of designs you didn't like? So isn't it really lucky that you got one of the few that you do like?
Thank you guys!
Awesome shirt, this is the second time I purchased 2 shirts, which is rare.

@Thunderthighs: Any chance they are going to get any kids' sizes back before this is reckoned?

That depends in part on how quickly the shirt is Reckoned. With 21 sales in the the last 13 hours, it's on track to stick around for more than one week - although obviously the sales pace may decline.
Thank you guys! I hope to soon be restored to stock shirts for kids, and I can buy my son a shirt too: D
Thank a ton guys for buy my design. Probably are the last hours on the reckoning.
In any case thank so much guys!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mogilny, Mar 31, 2013.
I'm not as convinced as blue about this guy but I don't really follow college ball.
Not sure which of the 4 Muhammad threads to post this in, but this one seemed to need the most love. Shabazz Muhammad is a Competitor Most consider Muhammad to be a lottery pick, but he didn't rest on that. Jeff Goodman of CBS recognizes Shabazz's unexpected presence in drills. Shabazz Muhammad may be the lone lottery pick actually participating in combine. Right now he is blending in with everyone else. — Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanCBS) May 16, 2013 While he should be commended for participating, he didn't do much to dispel any of the on-court questions about his game. Muhammad was a volume shooter and only an average to slightly above-average athlete at UCLA. Givony's tweets tell us that Muhammad showed more of the same during drills. Shabazz Muhammad really struggling so far. Shots not falling and couldn't create much in the one on ones. Did compete defensively, though. — Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 16, 2013 Although the shots weren't falling, I still believe Muhammad made a good account of himself. He averaged 17.9 points per game as a freshman, and he continues to prove he wants to be great. Muhammad has confidence and the work ethic to maximize on what he has. Shabazz: "I'm a guy who thinks he is the best player in the draft." — Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanCBS) May 16, 2013
They probably had the same knocks on Paul Pierce when he came out.
I've said that I prefer McCollum.
I know blue loves this guy over anyone but the greek sensation but I'm not convinced.
Former NBA player Joe Wolf is a regular on nbadraft.net and usually has well written posts. He said this about shabazz: attribution shabazz muhammad | NBADraft.net JW picks out lateral quickness and a lack of pro level ballhandling skills. The competativeness and the scoring skill is there and according to JW should translate to a solid NBA starter - just not an all-star. There is also mention that he is not in top shape and that is hampering his athleticism scores. -------
Muhammed had one of the worst combines of all that showed up. Muhammad was the second-worst shooter at the combine, making only 36 percent of his jumpers during drills. This isn't a good look considering his shooting was one of the few strengths scouts found in his game after one season at UCLA. He also measured just 6'4.75'' in socks. NBA scouts view him as a small forward given his inability to create off the dribble. According to ESPN's Chad Ford (subscription required), one GM told him, "It's a problem. If you're on the fence about him, this could push you off."
Not good for a guy who was trying to use the combine to reverse is falling stock.
Falling stock can be good - Andre Drummond
Remember when Rodney White fell into our lap?
Yep, I rather (if we're looking at a two) that it be Tony Snell, who should be available on the second round. Best get the utmost value with this pick. Just go big: Len/Zeller.
Snell is going at 19 on nbadraft. Yeah, I'm not feeling Shabazz. Guys who like to shoot with overboard confidence and low % are not on my wish list. Plenty of past examples: Larry Hughes, Antoine Walker, Gilbert Arenas, etc.
Shabazz Muhammad Looking To Improve - ESPN Video - ESPN Shabazz workout... see for yourself and comment.
2013 NBA Draft - Using science to break down Shabazz Muhammad - ESPN The gist of the article is that his leaping ability is quick if not high and the trainer valued quickness over vertical. Also, he has the ability to tweak his mechanics to take advantage of techniques to improve himself. He also showed promising ability to fix his shooting. He has trememndous work ethic...maybe even obsessive work ethic.
Relax, you're breathing too hard.
After watching Lance Stevenson lately I like the idea of getting guys who were the players of their class at some point but fell off for whatever reason. OJ Mayo is the same way. These guys have a confidence about them that can make them very useful if they can find the right situation. Muhammad might fit this bill, but he was missing 15 footers by himself in this video.
He had only 27 assists in 1,000 minutes of playing time? He seems like an offensively weighted player to me without defensive passion. When you add to that his below the rim finishing style, I'm afraid of his potential mediocrity.
Still not impressed. I would take a chance on him late first round, but not at number 8.
yeah but at least i'm doing it through my mouth...
Very (un)IMPPRESSIVE!

About Me
I love shooting people. I love planning conceptual work, but I also love leaving the door wide open for things to veer in unanticipated, strange and often wonderful directions. I love shooting women because women are versatile, emotionally accessible, unafraid to be vulnerable and, thus, bring an added dimension to a shoot. But guys who are in touch with their emotions would be welcome additions to my portfolio and experience. I like to work at extremes, producing almost snapshot-style candid imagery, or highly orchestrated, idea-driven imagery. I try my best to stay out of the middle. So if you're trying to add something unique to your book, let's work together.

TransCanada profit falls as Gulf Coast project approved
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp said on Friday construction on the southern leg of its Keystone XL pipeline could begin within weeks as the company received a crucial final permit allowing it to at last break ground on the controversial project.
Canada's largest pipeline company, which reported a 23 percent drop in second-quarter profit on Friday, said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had given the $2.3 billion line its third and final permit, the last obstacle to the start of work on the long-delayed project.
"This will allow us to maintain our previously stated schedule of beginning construction on the pipeline this summer and an in-service date of mid to late 2013," Russ Girling, TransCanada's chief executive, said on a conference call.
TransCanada moved to split the Alberta-to-Houston Keystone XL project in two after President Barack Obama refused to approve the project last year because of environmental concerns.
The southern portion, which the company calls the Gulf Coast Project, will carry 700,000 barrels of crude per day from the Cushing, Oklahoma, storage hub to Houston.
The company expects a U.S. decision on whether the remaining portion of the line can be built to come early next year.
Girling said the company is moving ahead with early plans to build another big pipeline project, a line that would carry between 400,000 and 900,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude to Canada's East Coast.
TransCanada could convert an under-used natural gas pipeline to carry the oil from Alberta as far as Montreal and then install new pipe to the Atlantic.
While planning is in the early stages, Girling said there is market interest in the scheme. Continued...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced that a semiannual general women's meeting one that will include all females age 8 and older will replace the general Relief Society and general Young Women meetings, which have been held every year for 20 years.
The switch begins next year, according to a news release. Relief Society and Young Women general meetings have been held in September and March, respectively, since 1993, the release added.
"The general women's meeting will be held the Saturday before each General Conference and will be conducted by the general presidencies of the Relief Society, Young Women and Primary organizations," according to the release.
All women and girls 8 years and older will be allowed to attend.
"As the women of the church gather together sisters, mothers and daughters they, their families, and the church will be strengthened and blessed," the faith's governing First Presidency states in the release.
The news release states that the First Presidency announcement came Friday, though the release was posted to the church website Monday.

Greetings, Womb-Dwellers,
This topic came up the other day in discussion, and again today, so I thought I'd slap up a thread on the subject of female audio engineers in this biz we call home.
I personally as the years go by, find myself more and more interested in the art of, and the science in, audio-sculpting. With each session I spend behind the mic, and the apres-sing noodling that always follows, I learn more and more in the digital realm, and more importantly, I really like what I am learning.
So here, I'd like to know of and discuss, how many of you have worked with or even just met female AE's during your collective travels through the sound-scapes?

HCG Guide
An eBook serving as a guide to the HCG Diet.Top Rated Diets of 2017

This book answers questions like why HCG works, where to get HCG, the easiest way to do the diet, what supplies you need and where to get them, detailed tips on how to maintain your weight loss and each phase of the diet in details.
The HCG Diet involves injecting yourself each day with a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin and sticking to a very restrictive 500 calorie diet. The HCG Guide guarantees that you can lose more weight faster than you ever have, maintain your weight loss of the rest of your life and that the diet plan is unlike anything you've ever done before. Injecting yourself with hormones and eating only 500 calories per day is bound to be unlike anything you've ever done before. With this program you are said to lose between 20 and 40 pounds per month, not be hungry and not be required to exercise at all.
This program also claims that you will reset your metabolism to a normal level and reset your brain to famine mode. You receive step by step instructions with this guide and free consulting for life. Because The HCG Guide is an eBook, you can download it immediately after you've paid for it.

The HCG Guide is a guide to the HCG Diet. This diet has come under fire because of its key component of hormones. To feel the effect of the hormones, dieters must inject themselves with it. The diet for this program is also highly scrutinized as it consists of eating 500 calories per day. Such low calorie consumption would be why the body is thrown into famine mode. On the web site tricking the body into famine mode is viewed as an advantage according to the web site. With this guide, you are given specific instructions on what to eat, how to eat it and an extensive list of the foods that are allowed.EXERCISE
It is mentioned on the web site that exercise is not needed to receive the quick weight loss results that are promised. There is no exercise plan included in the eBook.CONCLUSION
There are plenty of safe and effective weight loss programs on the market. Whether they include a plan outlined in a book, a specialized workout plan or even a meal replacement plan, these diets can be safe and effective. The HCG Guide introduces a diet that has been placed under heavy scrutiny for its questionable methods and extremely low calorie consumption. Upon researching the HCG Diet, it becomes clear that this diet is something that should be avoided. Losing weight that you are able to keep off permanently doesn't occur at the rate of losing one pound per day as this diet promises. Always remember when it comes to losing weight, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.Common Misspellings

I feel like a bad nerd, but I had no idea there was a Peanuts movie in the works, so if you did, I grant you 50 extra points to your geek card.
Yep. A new teaser trailer dropped today that let us know that Fox Entertainment and Blue Sky Studios are working together with director Steve Martino, producer/director Paul Feig and writers Craig Schulz (Schulz's son), Cornelius Uliano and Bryan Schulz — and it seems to be in good and loving hands.
You can view the teaser after the break.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Tennessee Head Coach Rod Delmonico
(opening statement)
"I can see why Arizona State was able to beat Cal State Fullerton in its own backyard. They don't quit. They find a way to win. In that (8th) inning they changed the direction of the ball and found the holes. They did a good job in that inning and that was the game."
(about leaving starting pitcher James Adkins in the eighth inning)
"He was at 105 pitches. He's usually a 125-127 pitcher. It's not that they hit just one ball. They had three big hits. They found the holes. I thought he was still throwing well."
(about the Omaha experience)
"This is the best place to play baseball. The city wraps its arms around it. However, for me as a coach, to see these men grow up and see how each has improved has been a blessing to me. This is the best year I've had as a coach - either head coach or assistant coach. What this team has meant to me will be hard to top."
Tennessee Starting Pitcher James Adkins
(about whether he was getting tired in the eighth inning)
"I went out with the same mental frame of mind. I was just trying to compete. It just went their way. That's baseball."
(about coming to Omaha as a freshman)
"Coming here as a freshman is quite an accomplishment. Our goal is always to get to Omaha."
Tennessee Catcher J.P. Arencibia
(about his home run in the 1st inning)
"I thought I had a good piece of it. From the bat, I thought I had a pretty good chance of getting it out."
(about whether he's disappointed about UT's showing in Omaha)
"We made it here so that's not disappointing. We didn't bring our A game here. We battled today and had runners in scoring position. We just couldn't get the big hit today."
Arizona State Head Coach Pat Murphy
(opening statement)
"It's fun to win. It's great. We haven't played good baseball in two games so this was good. Joey Hooft came up big again for us. Hopefully we're going in the right direction."
(on possibly meeting Nebraska again in a hostile environment)
"I tell you what I'd like to do. I'd like to full the newspapers about the game time so the (Nebraska) fans show up about three hours late."
Right fielder Travis Buck
(on the team's resiliency)
"Basically it's how close we are as a unit. As a team we really represent that. It starts with our seniors and their leadership."
(on possibly meeting Nebraska again in a hostile environment)
"It would be good. But really it doesn't matter who we play. We're just happy to be here. We're still playing and we've got another game in us."
Starting pitcher Erik Averill
(on getting the start in an elimination game)
"This is the third elimination game I've started and the second this year. I don't approach it any different than a regular season game. Coach always tell us the philosophy to take is that the hardest guy to beat is the guy who doesn't care if he loses. That's what I tried to take out there."

Preface: My friend and i were sitting around chatting and we were talking blog talk and
it was brought up that it's not a good idea to leave a blog post about how one of my kids had LICE
up for more then 2 days.
It's been 28 days.
So thank you Jamie.
We have had a very busy last few weeks around here….
and i feel like i should apologize for not keeping up with my blog…..but i live a different life now…
and getting up first thing to post a blog is long gone…..i'm sorry my faithful friends.
I will try and get a post out when i can……but with my phone with me 24-7….it's just so much easier
to instagram my daily photos and such then to put it all down here on the blog.
So much is happening and has happened though…that i will do my best to get everyone all up to speed.
First and foremost…..my MIL is on Facebook now…..
she sent me the email yesterday and asked me to be her friend…..so i gladly accepted her request.
There goes my facade as a wonderful mother to her grandchildren and bend- over backward wife to her
amazing son.
I have a feeling she finally joined facebook because she got tired of waiting around for me to blog;-)
Let's get some cocktails going around here….
are we good?
Yes. good.
Lola was in her first ever musical/play.
even though the play/musical was last month….it's never to late to show off some of the photos….
sort of like the late show with David Letterman but not really.
Speaking about late night shows…..
has anyone seen the movie 'Life at 40'?
I'm not 40 yet…..i'm still 38…..but it's right around the corner and as far as i know my husband doesn't
take viagra…..but speaking about Viagra…..it brought up a moment from my past that needs to be written
down because it's one of those things that shouldn't be forgotten in the little details.
Once upon a time i lived in Vail Colorado and worked as a back office nurse for a family practice
doctor who still works there but i will call her Jen to protect both of us.
{let me set the scene}
Since Jen was a family practice doctor….she had to be on call every once in a while.
One night when she was on call…….and i mean had to return phone calls that the answering service relayed to her…
and also this is the time that Viagra had just made it's name on the circuit……
where i think every male in town had made an appointment with their doctor to get this new miracle pill.
Anyhoo…..being the fun and energetic nurse that i was to Doctor Jen…..
i called the answering service that night and spoke with operator who answered the phone.
She asked me my name:
She asked me my husbands name who i was calling about:
She asked me our last name:
{She might have choked back her phlegm at that point….but i forged ahead with the convo……}
and in 15 minutes Dr. Jen called the number she was given and i answered the phone.
Needless to say……no Doctor wants to take a phone call from a patient that has just enjoyed the medicinal effect
of a new pill 8 hours later.
Obviously this post has nothing to do with Viagra……nor does it have to do with turning 40 but
what i wanted to tell you is that i will be 40 in less then 2 years and I told Bryan that i want to go to France
for my 40th…..
but i also told him that i don't have to be 40…..i can be 39 if he really wanted to surprise me.
Damn girlfriends…..that cocktail needs a refill and i feel like i'm been blubbering on and on.
Back to Lola…………
{She was part of the drama club at school and was cast as uncle Duke in the Little Mermaid…..
{the only girl cast as a boy……}
she played the part of Uncle …..the Hawaiian version of little mermaid was a bit different then the movie
version….but non the less…..it was pretty amazing to see all these 5th and 6th graders acting and singing.
Then a few days after the play/musical…..
Bryan scored a free day with Princeville Ranch Adventures and we did a little zip -lining.
It was really a whole lot of fun……
i might have pee'd my pants a little bit but i think it was worth it.
I also didn't realize you were not allowed to bring a box of wine with you in your backpack…..
i mean….
who makes up these type of rules is what i would like to know.
{i swear that they named that zip line above King Kong because that was the type of SHEET someone
had when they jumped off and flew through the air for 1200 feet}
This is Katie in the green buckling me in the photo below…….she's one of the guides at the Ranch….but
she doubles as our sitter when we need one.
My kids love her and if Bryan and i should die ….we decided that Katie will get our kids.…..
we obviously have not told her this yet….
and maybe she won't answer her phone anymore when i call…..
but we already decided and i'm calling my lawyer tomorrow.
I don't really have a lawyer….
but we have a friend that is a real estate lawyer…..so that counts right.
In case i die before Bryan does…..
i found this book that he will need:
It wasn't till i started back at work a few days a week…….
getting home late and after the kids were already in bed…..that it came to the realization
that SHEET does not get done on those 2 days.
*finishing homework in the car on the way to school
*laundry that is still wet and now moldy sitting in the washing machine
wait a minute…..
that laundry might have been me……i don't remember exactly.
anyhoo……got off subject at some point ……
it might be because …….
never mind.
We love Katie……she has a boyfriend that is a lifeguard…..and this summer they are taking us and a small
group to kayak up the napali coast so that i can cross that off our bucket list.
I promise i won't be swimming this time….
but throw me in a kayak and put a life preserver on me…..
i will be good to go.
Katie doesn't know they are taking us up the coast yet…..
and she doesn't know if we die that she will inherit our kids….
but sometimes no news is good news.
check check
My bucket list is getting things
crossed off like crazy……
and our 2nd year here is closing in on us.
The kids only have less than 3.5 weeks of school left and we have some big decisions to make.
wait a minute….
i had to double check my calendar….
and yes…it is definitely 3.5 weeks left.
Got some good hiking in the last month now that the weather is drying up around here…..
got to do some shell searching…….
not to be confused with soul searching…..
We had our 2nd annual Easter egg hunt and pot luck dinner at the beach with friends this year…..
One day Fin will look back on this photo and appreciate that i snapped this early one morning….
and then this last Sunday i was sitting around perusing my instagram and noticed that one of my fav
photographers happened to be here on Kauai for a visit.
I first started following Bryce when i saw him featured on Style me Pretty
I took a chance and emailed him to see what his schedule was like while here…..
but low and behold….he got back to me and said he just happened to be heading to the north shore that evening.
Did i have new clothes picked out for everyone….
were the kids well behaved and snot wiped from their noses….
but we were able to pull it together last minute and we even
crashed a wedding reception
trespassed onto private property to get the photos we wanted.
{totally Bryce's fault……we were just good bystanders through the whole process}
FYI: no one was injured in the process and maybe…just maybe the caretaker showed up but i will tell you
all about that story when i get the photos back.
good times tan lines
These are just photos from my phone…..but you get the idea…..
some kids had shoes…some didn't…..
Did i mention that i was able to get Hanalei Don out of the shop for an afternoon of catching up with the girls
a few weeks ago?
oops….wrong photo…..
this is the one i was looking for

Oglesby, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Cedar Rapids (Iowa) George Washington, opted for Iowa at a press conference at his school at 1:30 ET.
"I just grew up being a Hawkeye fan," Oglesby said. "Ever since they offered me I knew deep down that coach McCaffery would turn the program around. When I came back from the other two visits, I knew deep down that I wanted to be a Hawkeye."
Oglesby, a three-star prospect, said he built a strong relationship with their staff and that playing time played a role as well.
"They recruited me pretty hard and just their coaching staff seems like the right fit for me," he said. "I think I'll fit in to their style the best."
"Playing time my freshman is possible," Oglesby added. "At Minnesota and Arizona State it could have gone either way. I feel like coach McCaffery will get the program back to where it used to be."
Over the summer Oglesby, a three-star prospect, built his reputation as a knock down shooter playing for the Iowa Barnstormers.

qmock is an expect-run-verify
JavaScript mocking library. You can use it to mock objects alongside
another testing library.
People generally mock IO-bound services, like network or disk access.
The authors suggest that you could use qmock to mock Ajax calls. There's
a note about this in the API
mock$ = new Mock();
.withArguments('some/url', Function)
.callFunctionWith('data response');
// Exercise
var called = false;
mock$.get('some/url', function (data) { called = true });
As this example illustrates, qmock has an API that relies on cascading
invocations. This helps the API appear expressive.
There's some interesting history behind qmock:

No melodramatic music, no screaming at the top of their lungs while their pastel colored hair blew in the wind. Just a very well portrayed young teenager going through difficult stage of her life with a somewhat broken familly. I really like the fact that no one is portrayed as the bad guy. The father is good natured but lazy, the mother seems like a good person but she's too busy with work. The little brother is adorable, but you can tell there are moments when he finds it hard.
I'm a bit depressed to find I'm apparently the only one who finds the woman to be incredibly hot for some reason.

agree with above and especially tinyredleaf's feelings. Remember Noitamina was explicitly made for an audience who doesn't normally watch anime, so I would EXPECT them to do something different.
In regards to Mirai, yea I think she is a malcontent, but that is completely normal, hense making it more realistic.
As fer what Ninjacat said, I think the lady is nice looking (not quite hot, the design doesn't speak to me like that).

The camera and the building begin to shake, but she always tries to keep a cool head regardless. One could say that, in a way, she was trying to avoid causing even more panic in front of the camera.

Televisa, si?
This is a good point, still I would expect some sort of measured evidence of agitation in the voice or face of an announcer, (along the lines of most professional casters do in an event of SUCH extreme crisis) given the severity of the situation.

I really have to agree with TinyRedLeaf, Guardian Enzo and Ninjacat... this episode was absolutely stellar; it may have been more slice-of-life than action/drama-filled, but I think it was a necessary first episode to set up the plot and setting for the audience.
I wasn't too impressed with Mirai - I really disliked her behaviour at first, especially the way she treated her younger brother (I'm an older sister of two brothers myself who I dote on now), and I really felt like throwing something at her (lol), but then halfway through, I realized - wait, that was ME once upon a time. That was a sobering thought and I stopped feeling so much animosity towards her. I think it's easy to forget that we went through that angst-filled teenage stage once we get out of it; maybe we're just ashamed that we were even like that in the first place so we just automatically dislike portrayals of that sort of character! Lol. I'm sure as the series progress, we'll get a lot more backstory and character development.
Like many others have said, very realistic portrayal. Little brother, on the other hand, displayed a maturity to his character that really touched me at times. He's still very innocent and young for his age, but I really like the contrast in character between sister and brother.
Beautiful episode. I'm already anticipating the next one.

I really like the writing in the show. I can see how some people feel annoyed watching Mirai whine about her life, but she's a really well written character. Her dissatisfaction with her life is natural for someone her age, and it doesn't reflect any malice in her. She obviously loves her family, it's just that she feels unable to express how what she wants out of life at that moment and just dragged along by things everyone else wants or needs.

I actually like the bratty girl idea, because frankly, who hasn't been pampered and taken life for granted when they were young? I know I do and I can actually understand how she feels with the broken/dysfunctional parent-life. It's easier to sometimes be the brat and zone out from it than take it head on.
But of course, she's forced to face against all that thanks to a real disaster.
Also, I wonder in such a 'realistic' portrayal of such a quake, would anyone crucial to the story actually DIE? That'd be a total killer in a show that aims for realism like this.

If this earthquake happens one day (and chances are high that it will), she will be reporting it in real life ^^; They are really going for the "realism". Might even be a bit scary for a Japanese person who's used to hearing her voice announcing the real news oO;

Great start, I'm really happy to see how real they portray the characters. After watching Eden of East, an anime in a realistic setting with characters that do not behave logically and rationally, I was really worried about this one.
They impressed me with the conflict of the parents, as well as the child complex that the main character displayed.
Now depending on the next few episodes, I'd hope that this stays as real as possible, where the giant earth quake is explained in a realistic and not farfetched retarded reason like aliens crash-landing or psychic beings or w/e.

2 things I noticed.
1: The development seems to hark back to the old disaster movies. You know, the good ones, like Towering Inferno. You follow someone along their normal life, meeting different people at random- and then the crisis hits. I expect that several of those people we randomly ran into will reappear in the following episodes.
2: This is the second anime I've seen that has apathetic characters wishing for something along the lines of "I want the world to break" (Eden of the East had it too)
Notice that this is not daydreaming about some crisis that allows you to be a hero. (Where the emphasis is on being a Hero, and saving other people, and being admired- that is pretty common.) No this is a sort of careless wishing that the current system and world is destroyed because you don't like the system.
I think this implies some great dissatisfaction among the Japanese people, particularly the young. Furthermore they can't actually identify why they are so dissatisfied- as the heroine puts it- "Everything just makes me so angry".
Of course so far Eden of the East and Tokyo 8.0, seem to be coming down pretty hard on the idea. "Be careful what you wish for" kind of Aesop.

It's Fiesta Time! 34th District Democrats' Annual Garden Party coming up on Aug. 16
Information from the 34th District Democrats:
34th District Democrats' Annual Garden Party - Fiesta!
August 16, 2013 - 6:00 p.m. - West Seattle Nursery
The 34th District's annual Garden Party is Friday, August 16, 2013 at the West Seattle Nursery. We need your donations for the auction and your donations as volunteers. This is our big fundraiser of the year and in order for it to be successful, we need your help. Garden Party chair and point of contact is Carol Frillman - 425-785-7502, fax (425) 392-7330.
Download the donation form as a PDF or as a Word document at their website, found here.
The theme of the Garden Party this year is Fiesta!
Most of the money we raise comes from our auction, and we need your help to make this important election year fundraiser a success.
Auction Items Are Needed: Gift certificates are always popular, especially those from restaurants. Most restaurants are happy to donate to our auction. It's good public relations for them, and most Democrats are happy to contribute to the cause. Perhaps there's a shop that you frequent and they know you. You could ask for a donation of an item in the shop, or perhaps a gift certificate. A gift of your time is always welcome, especially if it's time in the kitchen. Dinners at your home or theirs are popular. And everyone loves sweets. Consider donating a certificate for your specialty for the buyer to enjoy at a more convenient time. If you have an art item that you are tired of or just doesn't fit your style anymore, consider donating it.
But do remember, this is not a garage sale. Items need to be in excellent condition. These are just a few ideas. You're creative people. We trust that you can come up with some pretty good ideas on your own.
And So Are Volunteers: Volunteers are needed before the auction to help with the planning and to solicit auction items, and lots of volunteers are needed for the day of the Garden Party. People are needed to check people in and to check people out; people to set up the silent auction; people to decorate the tables; people for all sorts of different tasks. Contact Garden Party chair Carol Frillman - 425-785-7502, fax (425) 392-7330.
We encourage our readers to comment. No registration is required. We ask that you keep your comments free of profanity and keep them civil. They are moderated and objectionable comments will be removed.

If you do experience transphobia it should be your decision of what to do following an incident. You should not feel pressured into taking any action that you don't feel comfortable or safe with.
It's important to look after your physical and mental health if you are experiencing transphobia. Your safety and well-being is paramount and you should always consider this when responding to any transphobia. Make sure you are safe and try to avoid unnecessary confrontation with perpetrators. However, it's also important that you talk to someone about your experience and not suffer in isolation.
Even if you don't want any further action at the moment, it's important to keep a record in case you want to get help in the future, or the incident escalates.

As US President Barack Obama arrived in Riyadh, Al-Jazeera television aired a new audiotape from Al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, who accused the American leader of perpetuating former president George W. Bush's policies of "antagonising Muslims."
"Obama and his administration have sowed new seeds of hatred against America," said bin Laden. "Let the American people prepare to harvest the crops of what the leaders of the White House plant in the next years and decades."

Editor Notes
Stand Your Ground
The perpetrators show up when you're most likely to be at work. The only proof that they were there is the notice in your mailbox — a small square of white paper with big black letters in boldface: WE'LL BUY YOUR HOUSE FOR CASH$$$$$$$$$!
Talking Pictures
Pictures of Black America abound. Most of them tell about the wealth gap and other disparities between Blacks and whites, and sometimes — rarely — they tell about the wealth gap among Blacks themselves. How about the positivity gap between Blacks and whites?
Food Fight
I have been a fan of authentic Thai cuisine ever since I visited that country in 2001
The President's List
By the time President Barack Obama delivered his second and final State of the Union address, he had already given the country a list of industry and career sectors that will matter greatly to the U.S. economy and security during and beyond his second term.
Corporate Citizenship
An Economist Intelligence Unit report has an intriguing reference to the role of government in corporate (social) responsibility.
Two Visions, One Aim
Cartagena Bacchanal
The dethronement of the United States in Western hemispheric diplomacy did not make the top of big-media news on the weekend of the Sixth Summit of the Americas. Neither did the line drawn in the sand over Cuba and the war on drugs, pitting the United States and Canada against just about every country south of the U.S. border... Instead, the lead story was, and continues to be, the sexual shenanigans of U.S. Secret Service agents and military servicemen, who had been tasked with assuring the security of Cartagena ahead of President Obama's arrival in that coastal Colombian city for a meeting of the region's heads of state on economic policy and trade.
Across the Pond
As The Network Journal began the vetting for its 13th annual list of "25 Influential Black Women in Business," I received a here's-how-I'm-doing email from former TNJ Assistant Editor Inés Bebea in Paris. Born in Spain and a resident of New York since she was a teenager, Inés just completed postgraduate journalism studies at the Sorbonne through the City University of New York and hopes to break into the field there.
The Conversation I Desire
Americans were primed for battle over who should be voted into the White House in November long before they rang in the New Year. This time around, I demand that aimless vitriol be replaced by a focus on trends that have booted us from top-dog status in key international benchmarks and on the investment imperatives those trends engender.

Last month, Montana once again tickled the nation's funny bone with the kind of antics that dominated our 2011 legislature. Rep. Clayton Fiscus, a Republican from Billings, requested a draft bill in advance of the 2013 legislative session to require schools to teach intelligent design alongside evolution. The proposal was unconstitutional on its face; the last time such an attempt was made, back in 2001, the bill died in committee.
But crazy is getting cagey now, too. Fiscus responded to the widespread criticism by tweaking the language of his bill, removing any reference to "intelligent design." Instead, he's now appealing to educators to "encourage critical thinking" when it comes to the origins of life. Fiscus' new proposal claims that it "only protects the teaching of scientific information and may not be construed to promote any religious or nonreligious doctrine."
Problem is, Fiscus already let God out of the bag. He may have removed any direct reference to intelligent design, but his push to emphasize discussion of controversial theories appears to leave the door open for others to argue that religious teachings should be included in that discussion. Whether that's Fiscus' end goal, we're left to wonder where the line will be drawn.
Should lessons built around the fossil record be countered with the creationist notion that dinosaurs and man once co-existed? Should students be motivated to challenge Darwin's theory of natural selection with the concept that woman was created from man's rib, or that humans as they are today were brought to this planet millions of years ago by a galactic overlord in a fleet of Douglas DC-8s?
Forget that Fiscus already made his intentions clear. Our biggest concern with his revised language is the seeming insult it throws in the faces of Montana teachers. Encouraging critical thinking is already a foundational practice in primary education. If Fiscus' renewed intention is truly to emphasize as much in the state's code of law, he may as well introduce a bill requiring Jiffy Lube employees to be familiar with the concept of an oil change.
Maybe we just aren't critical enough thinkers for Fiscus. Perhaps our rebukes of intelligent design make us merely the equivalent of our ancient Cro-Magnon ancestors. Somehow, though, we doubt Fiscus would agree we have any.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's German Chancellor Fellowship Programme is for university graduates from the United States with an interest in international issues and demonstrated leadership potential. The programme is targeted at accomplished young professionals who are likely to become decision-makers, thought leaders, and influential voices in their respective fields. Fellows will be recruited from a broad range of areas such as politics and public policy, law, media, business, the non-governmental sector, and the arts.
The programme provides fellows the opportunity to spend one year in Germany, where they will network with other prospective leaders from abroad and explore new solutions to the global issues of our times. This prestigious programme builds on Germany's established and growing reputation as a favored destination for problem-focused international dialogue and a meeting place for tomorrow's international leaders.

We use these boxes for mounting toggle switches and wiring. They work perfect for two switches and some small circuitry. They are strong and have a glossy finish. The screws hold the lid tightly. Has some imperfections in the finish is why not rated excellent.
Great job, product arrived on time, communication was excellent, price was good. Overall very satisfied.

In a few weeks I'm going to be on vacation for a week, and I cannot bring my dog. I have a friend staying at the house for the week, my dog is very familiar with him and she likes him alot. I also plan to ask my neighbor to check on her during the day because she works from home.
Is there anything I should do to prepare my dog for my time away from home? We've never been away from her for more than 2 days and she was pretty upset the whole 2 days that we were gone(according to our friend the dog-sitter). She sleeps in bed with me, should I allow the babysitter to let her sleep there if she wants to?
Should I make emergency arrangements with a kennel? I know it sounds nuts but I'm very anxious about leaving for this long, she is a very sensitive dog and I'm afraid she won't be able to trust that we're coming back anymore. I don't want her to develop seperation anxiety. Any advice is appreciated.
By the way, my dog is a 13 month old basset hound named Ruby.
