That's Jack Sock, who just won a gold medal in mixed doubles tennis at the Olympics. Not telling you to jack off into a sock. That would be disgusting!
You should jack off on your face though. Or jack off onto Jack Sock's face. Which would probably have helped him through this terrible moment when he got absolutely nailed. There. During the Australian Open. Hilariously horrible to witness.
Unless you're a pain pig, in which case, enjoy.
And as a lovely companion to a shot to the balls, here's some 1980s Chippendales, which I thought of because Dancing With the Stars & America's Next Top Model winner, and our favorite self-identified "sexually fluid" guy, Nyle DiMarco, will be hosting the Vegas Chippendales show for a few weeks.
Too bad I'll be summering in (insert name of fancy island paradise I've never heard of but would sound impressive) and have to miss it.
Ain't that a kick in the pants.

Cricket has been the flavour of the season, as ICC World T20 has reached its last-four stage, with big teams like Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and West Indies qualifying for the semi-finals.
Everyone are aware of the seriousness and the pressure involved playing such crucial games, while here is a look at how photographers find it as they need to concentrate on every ball and also the players' gestures as they are not supposed to miss any important picture as it needs to be captured at once. This seems to be the toughest task as one needs to keep an eye on everything that is happening on and off the field.
Thusith Wijedoru, a freelance photographer who is undertaking projects from Sri Lanka Cricket spoke to ThatsCricket on Wednesday, and shared his experience covering both the World Cups hosted by the Island of Pearl, and said one needs to anticipate a lot and stressed on the fact that one needs to be at the right place to get the right images.
He further added that it is a tedious job as photographers need to wait for more hours, not supposed to lose focus as they might miss some interesting gestures from the audience, bowlers, batsmen, umpires, players, so one needs to be completely focused throughout the course of the match.
"Well its about anticipation, about expecting the unexpected!! Also being at the right place at the right time," he said when asked about the tediousness of being behind the lens.
Further when asked how he manages to stay focused every second, Thusith said one has to understand the game, the player, anticipate a few things, if one enjoys then the job is made easier.
"To understand the game, photographer has to understand the player, empathise the batsman, expect the reaction from the bowler, captain," he said.
He further explained that professional cameras are available with various ranges, as there are cameras which gives u from 3 frames per second to 12 frames per second, as there is no specific range.
"I use a camera which gives 9 frames per second," he added.
Talking about his favourite picture that he captured last year, Thusith feels proud to have captured Lasith Malinga's private moment in public, as he managed to click when Malinga was kissing the ball during the promotional shoot for World Cup 2011, and Dilshan's pic which showcased the attitude of the player was also used for a hoarding, which is considered to be his best.
Having covered the World Cup 2011, held at Sri Lanka and being a part of the World T20 this year, Thusith has been one of the famous photographers as he also admits that it was last year's World Cup that brought him accolades.
"For me the world Cup 2011 was a great marketing tool as "whos who" in Sri Lanka Cricket, got to know who Thusith Wijedoru is.
Moreover, he was pleased with ICC's gesture as they used his pics for the hoardings in Sri Lanka and other places, which made him feel proud.
"Plus for ICC to use my images for their hoarding during such a significant tournament in Sri Lanka was a sence of pride. For a small fish like me that was HUGE! However it would have been the cherry on the icing on the cake if we took the finals, and since I was also involved rather indirectly in the event, is a personal achievement," he said.
With many photographers sweating it out at the middle to capture those precious moments that last forever, they also need some recognition as people need to know the person behind the lens.

A 21-year-old professional athlete with two years of veteran experience, something rarely heard outside of the sport of baseball.
Zach Norrbom began his professional ultimate career in 2013 for the D.C. Breeze. When he was on the field it was primarily on the offensive side of the disc. He saw touches with top guys on the roster of Daniel Selwyn and his current teammate Joe DiPaula. After the games ended on the weekend, Norrbom would return home and have to make sure that he finished his homework before the school week started.
In 2013, Norrbom was still in high school at H.B. Woodlawn Secondary School.
Three years later he is now a junior in college still playing professional ultimate, now as a member of the Washington D.C. Current. This makes Norrbom one of the few athletes able to play professionally and collegiately at the same time.
"Since the creation of the leagues it was my dream to play," Norrbom said. "Being a pro legitimizes the work I have put in over the years. Since entering college I have been trying my hardest to improve my college team, and playing pro proves to me that I've still been getting better even though I have had less time to focus on myself as a player."
Two weekends ago Norrbom stepped on the ultimate field for the Current who were facing the New York Rumble. Conditions were clear with winds slightly gusting, not the ideal conditions for an ultimate player. Coming onto the field, the jovial Norrbom had his game face on; his checks streaked with eye black.
"Zach has as always been fun, but mature for his age. He has always been really enthusiastic and ready to learn," Norrbom's high school and professional coach Will Smolinski said. "Zach sees the field in a very unique way, and he plays best when he is having fun – that hasn't changed. He has figured that out, but more importantly he has figured out that when he is challenged he has to find a way to make it fun."
The last time he faced this team, Norrbom had one of his best games in his professional career. In only 11 points played, he recorded three goals, two assists, while going nearly perfect (25/26) on his throws. In relatable sports terms, he played just under a half of soccer completing all but one pass.
The dual college-professional athlete is rarely seen, and particularly not seen in traditional sports due to the NCAA. The association stresses the value of amateurism preventing anyone from playing professionally before and during his or her time at the college level.
Ultimate however, is not regulated by the NCAA. Instead, the national governing body for the sport is USA Ultimate, which is also the organization that regulates the intricate club series and international teams.
Due to the new concept of professional ultimate leagues, there is no system in place that would prevent someone from playing both college and professional at the same time.
In fact on the Current there are five other players in college; Jack Field, Cam Barnhardt, Dom Gibson, Joe Freund, and Antoine Davis. In addition there is a high school player, Jacob Radack.
In this Saturday matchup, Norrbom saw himself starting as a handler on the Current's offensive line; a position he has been in for the entire season. He broke out of the gates with a strong start; the first two goals of the game resulted with his name being rung throughout the stadium by the public address announcer. Norrbom was well on his way to having another breakout performance and helped the Current build a four point advantage through the first three quarters.
"On the field I would describe Zach as fiery. He gets very intense very quickly, which used to work against him to a degree, but over the past few years it has developed into a more focused intensity rather than getting in the way of his playing," professional and college teammate Kyle Khalifa said. "Off the field he's much less intense. His diet consists mostly of candy and waffles, which seems to only make him a better player somehow."
During the week, Norrbom is a junior at the University of Mary Washington. For the past three years he has played for their team 'Mother of George.' This season, Norrbom has helped carry the team to a berth at the regional championship and is on the verge to competing for a spot at Division III Nationals.
"I have different roles on each team, but I've been adjusting well to the Current. The biggest difference is the type of player I match up against. In pro almost every defender is taller than me, but in college I usually have a shorter defender because most teams want somebody quick to guard me," Norrbom said. "The physical demands are pretty much the same, the running for pro are just condensed into a much shorter period of time."
College ultimate still runs under a tournament based format, where teams will often play six to ten games on a weekend. The professional game, while longer, is limited to a maximum of two games in a weekend. There is never more than one game in a day.
Against the Rumble, Norrbom played 23 points out of the game's 40. A typical college game is over in less than 25 points. One each point he was on the line receiving the pull, never stepping on the field for a defensive point.
The score would tighten as the game went on and more pressure was put on Norrbom and the rest of the offensive line. Every time he stepped on the field it became more important for them to score.
Norrbom is used to the pressure; in college his team is heavily reliant on his skills both on and off of the field.
Mary Washington competes at the Division III level of college ultimate so getting students to commit to playing a non-NCAA sport has proven difficult. However, the 21-year-old playing as a professional athlete has definitely brought some light on the program.
"His success in club and [Major League Ultimate], as well as his work ethic, has definitely helped inspire players on the UMW team to strive to become better players and put forth way more effort than players have previously," Khalifa said. "When Zach joined the team as a freshman, he immediately found himself in an important role. We started inviting him to captains meetings, and since then he has helped shape the team into what it is today."
This year the team has been named Mary Washington's Sport Club of the Year.
The Rumble continued to mount a comeback and scored five points when Norrbom's line received the disc. Meaning that the Current turned over possession five times, all leading to scores for New York.
As the game came to a close, Norrbom looked down at his cleats in defeat. His final stat line: two goals, one assist, a block, and completed 18 of his 19 throws. By any means it was not a bad day on the field, but not enough to help his team thwart New York's comeback attempt.
However it did not take long for Norrbom to shake off the loss. Moments after the game he was back to his enthusiastic self, chatting with his college teammates who attended the game.
He was already preparing for the next weekend of ultimate. Regionals with his Mary Washington team.

Keith Marshall is the top prospect in North Carolina and the the no. 5 prospect in America and he is going to be at Clemson this weekend. He will not be alone either.
Not only will he have close friend Todd Gurley there with him on an official visit, but he will be there with a handful of Clemson commitments like Jay Guillermo, Patrick Destefano, and Oliver Jones. All three of those guys are offensive linemen and you can bet they will be working him along with the Tiger coaching staff.
Right now, Florida, Georgia, and Notre Dame lead the pack for Marshall, but Clemson has come on strong over the last few weeks. Is it too late? He will be announcing his decision early in December, so stay tuned to Scout for the latest.
Marshall will visit South Carolina officially in two weeks when they host Clemson.
Gurley, a four-star running back out of Tarboro, N.C. has made it no secret that Georgia and North Carolina lead for his services at this time, but can Clemson become a real contender?
He has talked to Dabo Swinney this week and the Tigers were a favorite of his early in the process, so do not count them out. He tentatively plans to commit at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl on January 3, but he is prepared to push it back if he is not ready.
This will be Gurley's second official visit (Georgia was first on Sept. 10) and some feel UGA could be in the lead due to the questions still surrounding the UNC program.
A new name has emerged and Jonathan Bullard will be on the Clemson campus taking an official visit this weekend as well. Early on Thursday, Scout was told South Carolina was the school he'd be at this weekend, but this story developed late Thursday night.
Right now, the 6-foot-4, 260 pound defensive lineman out of Crest likes Florida and Clemson the most. He is close to CU commit Carlos Watkins, so that could help the Tigers.
Five-Star to be in Athens
Another five-star out of the South that will be on the road this weekend is Jordan Jenkins, the top prospect in the state of Georgia.
Jenkins is fresh off an official visit to Alabama last weekend and he has already visited Auburn and Tennessee officially as well. This will be number four and he will be at Florida at the end of the month for his final official visit.
It has been a two-team race for Jenkins for a while and those two are Alabama and Florida. It appears Alabama may have pulled ahead a little after his time in Tuscaloosa last weekend, but Florida gets him in Gainesville one more time.
When talking UGA, they have been behind from the beginning. They have stayed in the middle of the pack. They made a little push a few months ago, but something special at this visit would have to happen for the Dawgs to become a true player.
South Carolina wants Sunshine State Talent
The Gamecocks will host two official visitors from the state of Florida this weekend.
Kelvin Rainey is a tight end out of Yulee and he is still committed to USC although he visited Arkansas recently. Rainey is like a big receiver and the Gamecocks would love to land the other prospect out of Florida that is visiting this weekend as well.
Tyriq McCord has Carolina high on his list. The defensive end out of Tampa (FL) Jefferson has offers from a list of schools, but other than South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Miami, and USC look like the schools in the mix.
At one time, it looked like the Gators could be the front-runner, but it appears all schools on McCord's list have a legit shot now.

Robb Wolf just posted this (and I saw it at Free the Animal):
I wanted to let you know about an opportunity to participate in a Paleo Diet study. Dr Cordain, author ofThe Paleo Diet is researching the connection between diet and autoimmune illness. He�s looking for volunteers who have an autoimmune disease and have tried a the Paleo Diet for at least two months. The study won�t be overly demanding. It�ll involve an interview, questionnaire, and medical records if you�re willing to provide them (this last part is optional.) Of course everything will be kept confidential. If you�re interested in being part of the study, contact Dr Cordain�s graduate student Trevor Connor (email@example.com). With your help we can show how strong the link is between disease and diet and hopefully help a lot of people live better lives.

|F8 Kom Ka'Des
|Electronic War Frigate
|Aprox. 130 m
|Max. warp:
|warp 7.3
|Deflector shields, Electronic warfare devices, Warp masking device
The Klingon F8 Kom Ka'Des was a type of electronic warfare frigate utilized by the Klingon Defense Force from the mid 23rd century. Kom Ka'Des in Klingon means "forever the winner". (Star Trek: Origins)
The first use of the F8 class, was in the Klingon invasion of the Hydran Kingdom, causing much confusion and surprise to the Hydran Royal Navy thanks to his unique ability to interfere which subspace communications and hiding himself at warp.
This ship was retired when the warp masking device became obsolete in 2260.
Technical dataEdit
This ship has a powerful subspace noise emitter that can break all subspace communications in a zone of four light-years around of the ship. In addition of a powerful sensor array, this ship has the Klingon Warp Mask Device that can mask the warp signals of the ship in warp, making it difficult to detect the ship during warp, as well as making the ship practical invisible to the sensor arrays at more then two light seconds. This awesome device, use around of 40% of the space of the ship and consumes a large amount of energy, limiting the ship to warp 5 when the device is in use.. However this makes the ship very dangerous since it can warp in without warning and begin a surprise attack.
The KDF use the ships in small groups, never alone. Some admirals of the Federation called the F8 the "subs" of the stars.
This ship have a cruise warp speed of 5.6 and maximum speed of 7.3. There are rumors that the KDF are trying to adapt the device to the D6-class D6 and at same time, are trying to give a warp 8 core to the F8. The ship have quad impulse engines, giving it a high sub-light speeds and giving the necessary power to the Klingon Warp Mask Device.
This ship designed mainly for electronic warfare and limited hit and run missions. They only carry two disruptors, giving it which less firepower that a refitted 22nd century Klingon Bird of Prey. This lack of firepower is compensated by the ships working in groups of three or more. From 2230 to 2250 the F8 saw more usage by the KDF that the Bird of Prey.

Athens: Simone Perrotta scored a second-half goal Wednesday to give AS Roma a 1-0 win over Olympiakos in Group D of the Champions League. The 76th-minute goal came off a cross from Aleandro Rossi. It was Roma's first away win in the Champions League. The Italians had lost their previous five away games in Europe's most lucrative club competition. Roma now has six points from three games, three fewer than group leader Valencia. Olympiakos and Shakhtar have one each after Valencia beat Shakhtar 2-0 in the group's other game. The Italian team had its first chance in the 28th when a long-range shot by Taddei went just wide. Ten minutes later, Olympiakos squandered an opportunity when Michalis Konstantinou headed Rivaldo's free kick against the crossbar. Supported by a sold out crowd of 33,000, Olympiakos charged forward after halftime but was countered by the Italian team's defense. On a counterattack for Roma in the 76th, Rossi rushed forward on the right and his cross found Perrotta, whose low shot easily beat goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis. Roma hosts Olympiakos on October 31 in the next round of matches. (AP)

It was our gift and blessing to minister at Cure in Santa Domingo. The help that they provide to children is untouched by anyone elsewhere in the world. Excellent medical care, love, and follow- up - all patients should be so blessed.
Previous Stories
My husband, my daughter and myself had the amazing blessing of volunteering at the Cure Hospital in the Dominican. Never have I seen such love, sacrifice, caring and patient care as I did in this hospital, and with the patients and family who entered its doors. Without our help and donations, this hospital cannot care for the many many children with deformities who need its care and surgical expertise. We thank God we had the opportunity to help, and look forward to the day we can go back!
I have the utmost respect and admiration for this organization. I have seen the incredible dedication of the staff: all staff members are part of a team. Not only do the medical directors, nurses, doctors, kitchen staff, admin works, and the cleaning staff all know each other they all have relationships with each other. I have seen in Cure that each person is honored and respected. Each person is highly appreciated for the unique skills they bring to Cure. There is a spirit of inclusiveness and the openness to people of all faiths.I have witnessed first hand the careful use of resources and the incredible generosity towards others. Cure is an amazing steward of its resources and has a high level of intentionality to everything they do. At every step along the way Cure is making careful decisions to make sure that they can give the highest level of medical care to children. The people of Cure live and work with an incredible sense of purpose and have changed thousands of lives because of this.
Review from CharityNavigator
I first heard about CURE International on Twitter. I followed them back because I want to know more about them. As I read about their tweets, I became more interested when I learned that they help children with curable disabilities. I want to do something more meaningful like what the Street Team does. It's so amazing and inspiring that my simple efforts help make a change in a child's life. I'm very happy to partner with CURE International. My life has changed because of them.
It has been my privilege over the past 5 years to lead 3 teams that included high functioning special needs adults to serve with CURE at its hospital in Kijabe Kenya, as well as a 4th trip with my daughter who studies for a semester at a college in Kenya. She was much influenced by her experience as a member of our missions teams. The beauty of each trip was observing, guiding, and working along side our disabled team members as they interacted with the hospital staff and patients, relating to them personally, sharing their own stories and encouraging each other. Our teams have formed eternal bonds with many patients and the tremendous staff there, especially the Spiritual Leader Christine Kithome and her associate Pastor Joseph, who we sometimes call my "twin" as we see so many issues identically. when I've been speaking and Joseph translates, often he can finish my sentences in english and then put them into Kiswahili! The team members continue to pray for our Kenyan sisters and brothers, support one of the staff. Even though I have moved on to another place of service, I remain in touch with my Kenya friends and hope to reunite again in the not-so-distant future. They are part of our lives and indeed our Spiritual family. They have blessed us with spiritual refreshment. Kenya staff told us that many of their fellow citizens have the impression that Americans are free from problems, disabilities, and illness or that our national wealth and resources have overcome such things. We show them that this is not the case, that we are indeed facing many of these issues for which there are no easy solutions, that we're in this together before the Lord.
I have had the privilege of being an RN on 5 short term bragaides in Honduras and they all have been very rewarding for me. That country is filled with the most giving people in the world, who think we are the "saints". They open their homes, their lives, their entire community to give us a place to serve them. And all the time with wonderful smiles on their faces, no matter how hot or busy they are. I come away from every trip with my heart filled with gratitude to my Lord and those people for giving me the opportunity to give back the blessings I have. And this year I was able to take my 13yr.old granddaughter with me, who came away from the experience a much enlightened young lady. Thank you Cure International for making it all possible and thank you Ruth and Daniel Castro for being who you are and surrounding yourselves with such "spirit" filled people. I pray the Lord will let me continue as long as I want to. With prayer, Barbara Dube
I had a wonderful time working with CURE in Uganda a couple of years ago. I have worked with several nonprofit organizations in my role as World Outreach Director at our church. I was very impressed by CURE's commitment to the children and serve as well as to the development of national leaders in the countries where they work.
Two summers ago myself and 18 others boarded a plane for the Dominican Republic. We took 38 suitcases and carried two air filters through airports and security. We had no idea what to expect when we landed. We never thought our lives would be so transformed. Cure allowed our team to work in the hospital in Santa Domingo and took us to orphanages around the city. We wept as mothers carried their children in for free services. We took pride in cleaning stairwells were families were standing with their children to see a Dr. We smiled and laughed with patients in recovery as we gave them toys and baseballs. Cure is doing a wonderful life changing job not only in Santa Domingo, but in 9 other hospitals world wide. Cure allowed our entire team to view others that do not have medical care and opportunities that we do in the US. We were so impressed in every aspect. Our team leader was informative and relational. Our translators explained the culture as well as helped us speak to our new friends. The staff at the hospital put in long hours and worked from morning until night. The adults were so moved by this experience. I feel Cure gave our teens a life long lesson of how blessed we are in our country. Cure is doing an amazing job by reaching those who do not, nor will ever have the means for medical care or surgery. They allow people in need to come to a facility to find hope and healing. They are treated with dignity and respect and walking out the door with new possibilities for their life. Cure is changing lives around the world. It simply was my honor to see a few of the lives they are changing each day.
I am a pediatric anesthesiologist who had the good fortune to work with CURE in Honduras caring for children for orthopedic surgery. I love the organization and can't wait to return to Honduras. I would also like to serve in another one of the CURE hospitals elsewhere in the world. The CURE personnel are wonderful people who have been an inspiration to serve others.
As a short-term CURE volunteer physician, I am grateful for the perspective and insight I gained during my trips to Kabul, Afghanistan. The opportunity to work alongside the dedicated CURE Afghan and expat staff was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my 30 year medical career. I will continue to support CURE's outreach in Afghanistan financially and prayerfully and highly recommend it to any physician looking to put the joy back into medicine.
In January 2010 CURE got a group of doctors nurses and anxiliary personnel around the USA to land in Haiti and give a lending hand to this devasteted country. In a matter of days 24 people from around the country gather together to offer their services to this nation. we all came from different walks of life but we all had a common denominator CURE

Plot Summary
Akari and Sumire sleep as the time reaches two-forty am. Sumire hears a voice and awakens, but sees nobody and tries to return to sleep. It calls to her again and Sumire slowly exits the room. She walks down the hallway and hears the voice continue to speak to her and makes her way to a set of doors. She steps outside as the rain pours down and proclaims her desire for eternal radiance as an Idol, then turns as the mysterious figure (Yurika appears). She promises to give it to her, but only for a price and decides to suck her blood, causing Sumire to scream as bats fly by outside. The only thing remaining at the scene is her shoes.
In the Drama, Akari confronts Headmistress Legend Orihime and demands to know why she wont do anything to help locate Sumire. She claims she already did though and has sent someone to help, and just then the savior arrives, a girl by the name of Jurius Caesar Salad. In the office, Orihime thanks her for accepting the offer and coming, and Jurius assumes there was a vampire attack, given her job as a Vampire Hunter. Orihime reveals what has happened and Jurius asks for evidence that it was a vampire attack. She lacks the evidence though and tells her that she has a hunch and tells Jurius to just focus and trust her.
As this is going on, the nosy Hinaki Twister listens from out in the hallway. She runs off and happily comments that because Sumire is out of the way she can surely take the name of Starlight Queen now. Outside of the Drama, Hinaki also appears to be embarrassed over her variety show character. But the girls encourage her by saying that her character role makes the drama more enjoyable, and she has enough experience to make it work well.
In the Drama, Akari sadly thinks about Sumire Gelato. She visits various spots they used to be at together and wonders where she could have went. But as she leaves the room she spots Jurius again and tries to stop her. She introduces herself as Akari Sunshine and asks Jurius if she knows anything about what had happened. She tells her she has nothing to tell her though, then tells her to stop sticking her nose into their business.
Outside Juri continues to walk while thinking about Sumire Gelato. She believes that if she was attacked by the vampire then surely she may also be one, but she thinks something suspicious is going on. Something involving Orihime, who happens to be watching her at the time. Jurius heads to another location and continues to do some information searching. She heads to the dorm room and heads to the top of the building while checking out the spot Sumire was last visible.
The Headmistress heads into the cafeteria to inform Haru Yotsuba that because their target has arrived, he must begin his part in their mission.
Akari sadly walks up the stairs while thinking about Sumire Gelato again. She is interrupted by someone calling out to her and to her surprise, sees Sumire up ahead. She runs to her friend and they go back to the dorms. There Sumire explains that she had to abruptly head home for a while and Akari is glad that it wasn't anything serious. Sumire apologizes for worrying her, then asks Akari if she is okay. As Akari gets up to grab some of the chocolate she got the other day for Sumire, she is unaware of her friend sneaking up on her. Eventually Akari catches her doing it, then asks if she is okay before commenting that she doesn't look okay. While trying to look at her eyes she thinks she momentarily spots a fang peaking out from Sumire's lip, but she claims Akari is only imagining it.
With that Sumire brings up a secret special party that will be held at the Academy. Akari is curious as to what she means, but Sumire stops upon spotting Hinaki Twister eavesdropping in on them. Sumire invites her inside to learn more about it, then continues to say that it will reveal the secrets to obtain Eternal Radiance as an Idol. Right away Hinaki is taken with the idea and agrees to attend, and Sumire tells Akari that she is expected to come too. Akari knows something is wrong and worries, but she decides to go anyway. Unknown to the girls, Jurius happens to be watching in on them and realizes her suspicions have been confirmed.
When the party arrives Sumire helps the girls prepare their outfits. They leave and prepare to go to the party while Jurius slowly trails them. She is attacked after Sumire spots her and she uses her abilities to vanish while the girls head outside trying to find the party's location. Sumire tells them to go ahead, then Akari asks her why she isn't coming with them. Sumire assures the girls that she will be joining them soon and Hinaki runs off with a hesitant Akari in tow.
It's then Sumire is attacked by Jurius and thrown to the ground in a net. She claims it to be futile though and attacks Jurius again, causing her to ask how she can be so powerful. However, she doesn't answer her, instead she gets to the top of the building and runs off as Orihime arrives to help Jurius.
Akari and Hinaki step into the Memorial Hall and notice that the entire area looks pretty dreary. The observe the statues of the idols prior to them and stop at the front of the Hallway.
As Jurius is being helped by Orihime, she reveals that Sumire Gelato isn't the only vampire there at the Academy. It is cursed by many vampires.
Suddenly, the Grand, Legend Mizuki awakens, along with the other statues and Johnny-sensei reveals what has been going on to the girls. Orihime reveals that these idols are vampires out of her own wishes, after she wished for them to shine for eternity. She had their blood sucked, with the first victim being Legend Mizuki, who was attacked by Yurika. Then they converted the rest of the idols, including Otome, Kaede, Aoi, Ran, and Ichigo.
Orihime realized her mistake however afterwards, as the vampire idols cannot be with their fans, due to the vampire-sunlight rule. With that Mizuki reveals that she will be changing them into vampires too, but Akari refuses while Hinaki accepts, ready to gain the radiance they hold. Yurika then sucks Hinaki's blood, changing her into a vampire and they move on to Akari, who frets that it's up to her to do something.
Just then Jurius and Orihime show up. They call to Akari and she asks what they need to do. They hand Akari a special donut, new to Starlight Sweets menu. The vampires will revert to normal if they eat this special garlic donut and the trio quickly get to work trying to return them to normal. Akari is able to fix Otome and Hinaki, while Jurius rids of vampire Kaede and Ran. Then they target Aoi and Ichigo while they're distracted. Jurius is attacked by Yurika and slowly loses consciousness as she approaches her. But to her surprise, Jurius tricked her and forces her to eat a bite of the donut.
Johnny then prepares to suck Orihime's blood, but his gentle manners allow her to easily make him eat the donut. Akari however, struggles to give one to Sumire and finds herself wearing down. Sumire prepares to bite Akari, but Akari forces her off and after they fall Sumire accidentally eats it. The girls then regroup to attack Legend Mizuki and they hand Akari a special weapon, allowing her to transform with the help of their abilities. Akari shoots a special donut arrow at Mizuki and reverts her back to normal, along with everyone else.
The following morning Jurius prepares to leave. She is joined by the girls, who have come to see her off but they arrive too late. So Akari calls out to her and thanks her for her help while Jurius thinks that vampires shall always be around and the Drama ends.
- Earlier in Season 1, Yurika mentioned that she always wanted to suck Mizuki's blood, and it is a dream come true for her in terms of the drama story plot.
- Throughout the episode (including non-drama scenes), different cast members have mentioned the name Sumire Gelato a total of 27 times.
- This is the first drama episode to not feature an actual audition.
- Sakura is the only 1st generation main character to not be featured in the drama episode itself.

Diminished Arpeggios Guitar Lesson
Diminished arpeggios create a tense sound and make interesting patterns when played on your guitar.
The next thing we learn is sweep picked diminished arpeggios on the E B and G strings. A good picking pattern for this is Up on e, Up on B, Down on G, Down on B, Down on e - UP UP DOWN DOWN DOWN, as shown in the video. Sweep Picked Diminished Arpeggios:
When we get to the 12th fret position we play a cool descending diminished pattern often seen in neo-classical metal by artists suchs as Yngwie Malmsteen. Remember that the notes here are played in groups of three. Descending Diminished Arpeggios:
To finish off we play the diminished scale ascending then descending from low E to high E and back again across all six strings. This makes an interesting pattern on your fretboard as you will see! Ascending E Diminished Scale:
Descending E Diminished Scale:
Thanks for checking out this guitar lesson, other video lessons are also available on my Youtube channel.

There are some differences when it comes to parcel versus document deliveries conducted by courier companies in Singapore.
First of all, there are companies which specialize only in document deliveries. These are usually very small companies with only a handful or fewer couriers in the company and they use bikes to operate. This is because bikes are cheap in Singapore and they are more than enough for document deliveries (as these documents can be put within the enclosed containers at the back of motorcycles. Take note that some companies only hire couriers on bikes for document deliveries, so make sure to find out and clarify this point first if you need to deliver a bulky parcel or item.
Next of all, there are courier companies like PCA which provides both local document as well as parcel deliveries. Usually, most companies which provide parcel deliveries are able to provide document deliveries also, but not vice versa. That is why a parcel delivery company like PCA Masters or Regent Courier Service are able to grow much faster than those which just depend on motorbikes. (Of course, it is within reason. A general logistics company will be using large lorries and trucks and will not bother with moving small parcels or documents for individuals.)
Generally, parcel deliveries in Singapore are more expensive than that of document courier services. This is simply because van drivers usually cost more to hire and they can take fewer deliveries per day as they are not able to navigate in traffic as quickly as motorcyclists can. Additionally, vans cost more to lease or purchase as well relative to motorcycles.
In short, do not be surprised if you get charged rather significantly different prices if you were to deliver a parcel instead of a document. This is simply like the pricing differences between delivering a small item and a really bulky item. Just like how furniture or house moving services in Singapore generally cost a lot more than parcel deliveries, parcel deliveries also cost more than document delivery services in Singapore. It's just that simple.

When you're trying to get pregnant, knowing that you've ovulated is crucial in knowing whether or not you've been successful in your quest. The LH surge, or a sudden increase in luteinizing hormone, is a fairly reliable indicator that ovulation will occur within 24 to 48 hours. As your menstrual cycle progresses and an egg follicle matures, estrogen levels increase, eventually causing a surge of LH. It's this surge that causes the egg to be released from your ovaries, a process more commonly known as ovulation. There are some cases, however, in which you can detect an LH surge and not actually ovulate.
False Surges
Just because you detect an LH surge with an ovulation predictor kit (OPK), it doesn't ensure that you will ovulate. Some women will have a number of small surges or mini-surges before the final surge that triggers ovulation. These mini-surges are the body's way of gearing up to ovulate. To confirm that the surge you detected was a final surge, continue taking OPKs until they are negative or until you've confirmed ovulation by seeing a marked increase in your basal body temperature, the temperature taken at the same time first thing every morning.
Delayed Ovulation
It is possible to have an LH surge and not ovulate within the next few days. According "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," there are are a number of things that can delay ovulation even once your body has shown the signs. Stress, illness, medications, exercise and drastic weight changes can cause your body to change its mind (so to speak) and put ovulation on hold.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a condition in which numerous cysts develop inside the ovaries, can cause you to have an LH surge and not ovulate. The cysts are caused by trapped egg follicles that don't release and fill with fluid. Woman with PCOS frequently experience hormonal imbalances caused by these cysts, including excess production of testosterone and luteinizing hormone. This imbalance can trigger a positive result on an OPK, regardless of whether or not ovulation will occur.
Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome
Occasionally, you can experience all the classic signs of ovulation, including an LH surge and change in basal body temperature and still not have ovulated. In a condition called, Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome (LUFS), the egg reacts to the LH surge but is unable to pass through the ovarian wall. The follicle then forms a cyst which, in most cases, dissolves on its own. Since your body reacts as though ovulation has occurred, the only way to confirm LUFS is by seeing the cyst on an ultrasound.
Fertility Drugs
Many fertility drugs, including Clomid, can invalidate tests designed to detect an LH surge. These drugs increase the levels of LH in your system, which makes the test positive even if a true LH surge (and subsequent ovulation) has not occurred.

À propos du livre
History, beauty and culture are common facts of Tokyo's everyday life.
Photographing Tokyo is very much related to poetry, it is suggestive and fragmentary.
TOKYO SPIRIT is a collection of photographs which shows through my lens
fragments of places, ephemeral moments, rhythms and cycles.
The twelve series of TOKYO SPIRIT, try to reflect the dreams, the wishes, the wills, the insecure feelings, the intentions and emotion of Tokyoites.
In each of my photographs, I did not look into the frame but into life.
I hope my book will help you to learn how to see and how to understand the true spirit of Tokyo.

My poor, sweet Chris!! This has just not been his week! First the dog and now this… His nick name is "nice Chris" because he's always so nice, and it breaks my heart that he keeps getting hurt. I have pulled him from all sports for now, because I am so worried about him getting hurt again. I know everyone says as a mom of mostly boys, I need to get used to injuries and doctor visits, but I am not used to it at all because my boys really haven't been hurt that much. I don't want my boys to ever get hurt. I brought my sister with me to the Emergency Room because Matt had to stay home with the other kids who were sleeping, and I am not good at watching things like this. I can't watch my kids being sad or being in pain, and I really don't like looking at open cuts of any sort. Heather is a lot stronger than myself in this area. The doctors said he did fantastic. They had called two extra nurses in because they were afraid Chris wouldn't hold still, but he didn't move at all, so they sent the extra nurses away. I just wish that we had been allowed to cuddle him or be closer to him when he got the numbing shot, because I could tell that was definitely the worst part. That was the one part they said only the nurse and doctor could be near Chris in case he moved, and it was also the part he could have used our love the most. So from now on, I need to just bubble wrap my kids….or at least Chris! No more owies! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to give us a THUMBS UP!

SPORTS PEOPLE: BASKETBALL; Nets and Mills Hit Snag Over Pact and Weight
Published: July 30, 1992
Contract negotiations between the Nets and forward TERRY MILLS have become weighty, in more ways than one. According to the Nets' general manager, WILLIS REED , Mills weighed a hefty 271 pounds last week after a workout with the team strength coach, RICH DAlATRI . Mills, a restricted free agent who is seeking a contract worth between $1.5 and $2 million for next season, has had weight problems in the past. While Reed insists he wants Mills in a Nets uniform next season, he also wants Mills to get into better shape.
The Nets reportedly offered Mills a $1.1 million contract for next season.

Art Flamme et Alumette by Stanislav Aristov (20 photos)
They say, the devil is in the details – quite often, so is art. Russian photographer Stanislav Aristov noticed something as discarded as a burnt matchstick, and created minimalistic yet enchanting photo' series of them burnt and bent into beautiful shapes. Tiny fires around the matchsticks also form part of the images, and some Photoshopping makes them look incredibly delicate.
Also known as Pol Tergejst on the Internet, Ekaterinburg-based photographer discribes his "Спички" ([spitch-kee] – meaning "matchsticks" in Russian) series as capturing "the big lives of the tiny wood splinters". This again goes to prove that a true artist can find artistic potential even in the smallest and most commonplace objects around him.

PolitiFact's amazing double standard struck again because it rated President Obama's broken promise "Half True," which Americans might keep their wellness insurance beneath his healthcare law.
There are absolutely stories of Americans being dropped off their wellness insurance plans, plus PolitiFact's Louis Jacobson accepted which "In fact, Americans are not merely capable to keep their insurance from thick plus thin." He added which "the CBO figures recommend which the law may grow which rate, at smallest modestly" of "forced plan-switching."
Yet how did Obama's promise stack as much as "Half True" plus not "False"? According to PolitiFact, ObamaCare "does take pains to let Americans to keep their wellness program when they wish To stay about it." So though the law failed to aid Americans keep their insurance, it tried thus Obama's guarantee wasn't fake?
And talking of "guarantee," Jacobson downplayed which because a "suggestion." Yet what element of "you'll keep a wellness insurance" is a suggestion plus not a promise?
PolitiFact's bias has not gone unnoticed. George Mason University's Center for Media plus Public Affairs found which PolitiFact called Republicans dishonest 3 instances over Democrats inside the initial 4 months of President Obama's next expression.
NewsBusters' Tim Graham wrote back inside May:
"Even inside the initially 3 weeks inside May, when the Obama scandals piled up – from Benghazi to the IRS to the DOJ phone-records scandals -- Republicans continue to be being flagged because worse than Democrats, with 60 % of the website's selective claims rated because fake thus far this month (May 1 – May 22), compared to 29 % of their Democratic statements – a 2 to 1 margin."
And the same Center for Media plus Public Affairs called out PolitiFact's bias throughout the 2012 campaign. As Graham included inside his part, CMPA reported last September:
"PolitiFact rated Democratic statements because 'mostly true' or 'entirely true' about twice because usually because Republican statements – 42% true reviews for Democrats vs. 20% for Republicans.
"Conversely, statements by Republicans were rated because completely fake regarding twice because usually because Democratic statements – 29% fake reviews for GOP statements vs. 15% fake reviews for Democrats. (This involves categories labeled 'false' plus 'pants about fire.')"

Dear Parents/Carers
It has come to my attention that some concerns have been raised, via a public social media forum, by a small group of parents about bullying and perceptions of how bullying it is being addressed by the Academy.
Over the last couple of years, we have increased and improved our pastoral care and students' perceptions of how we deal with bullying has significantly improved. This has also been confirmed by external visitors and inspectors. It is therefore disappointing to know that a minority of our parents still feel we are not adequately dealing with the issue. I am sure we all will agree however that until 100% of our students feel safe and happy at school that we still have some way to go.
Bullying however is not just a school issue, it is a very complex problem that is an issue nationwide. It is also a community issue and can only be dealt with effectively by all members of our community working together to deal with it when it occurs and ideally eradicate it - a target which is very difficult to achieve but worth every effort to try to.
I would like to therefore invite you as parents to join with us in dealing with the issue of bullying. I will be running an initial anti-bullying session at the Wellington Academy on Tuesday 14th March 17.30 to 19.00. I will invite key members of our schools and local community to the evening and maybe, together, we can all positively join forces to launch a community wide anti-bullying campaign, which will begin to address the root cause of bullying and have a largely positive impact across our Tidworth and Ludgershall community. Please can you confirm your attendance by emailing email@example.com. Thank you.
Please can I remind you however, as parents, to refer to our complai nts policy http://www.thewellingtonacademy.org.uk/documents/policies/Complaints.pdf in the event of any issues surrounding your child's/children's education and care at the Academy. It is difficult for us to support you and your family if we are not fully informed of any issues or concerns you may be having.
In the meantime please also refer to the school calendar for the dates of my Head of Academy and Head teacher clinics at the Wellington Academy and Wellington Primary Academy, respectively. You do not need to make an appointment to attend the clinics, however please may I encourage you to inform reception at either school if you plan to attend, so they know to expect you. Thank you.

Independence Day (or as it is sometimes referred to, Ol' Fourthy) is the greatest day in America and the rest of the world. It is celebrated with hot dogs, picnics, and low, low APR financing on all new and used Toyotas.
Moved From Independence DayEdit
Independence Day is the day when the greatest country in the world, the United States of America kicked Britain's ass. To celebrate, Real Americans along side Baby Jesus, set off explosives and eat the greatest dessert in the world, the American apple pie

Moved From July 4Edit
July 4 is the American holiday upon which [Real Americans] celebrate the fact that we live in the greatest civilization of all time (America, pay attention). In honor of the sacrifices of our forefathers, Americans play baseball while drinking Budweiser and then eat hot dogs (made from German Shepards in honor of America's victory over the Nazis) and Apple Pie. Nothing says America like Apple Pie. It is federal law that every home fly [Ol' Glory] proudly out front. If there is no wind, buy a fan and use it of
To cap off the celebration of freedom, a massive display of firepower is put on.
Origins of Independence Day Edit
On July 4, 1946, George W. Bush was born. At his birth, three kings came to his house in Crawford, Texas with gold, frankinscence (sp?), and mihr (sp?). However, the young Bush turned them away, because everyone knows kings have no place in THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER!!!!!1 People rejoiced at the news of the brave young soul standing up for democracy. To honor his heroism, they U.S. Congress ruled unanimously to make Bush's birthday a national holiday. But Bush, being the humble, modest person that he is, opted not to have his name in the holiday. Instead, he preferred the holiday to be called "Independence Day," after his mother, Independence. (Now, I know some of the factinistas will say that George W. Bush's mother is Barbara Bush. Now, this is true, only because that Independence, being an abstract thought necessary to the ongoing awesomeness of THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER!!!!!1, can not be visualized by mortals. Independence chose to come down to Earth in the form of Barbara Bush, the second hottest woman ever. [The first is Laura Bush.])
There are also unconfirmed reports that July 4th was also the birthdate of Baby Jesus. According to excavations of caves in Israel, Jesus was born on July 4th, but went back into Mary's womb in order to be reborn five months later. This was so that he could fight the evil forces in the War on Christmas.
Fourth of July celebrations include, but are not limited to:
- picnics
- carnivals
- TV specials
- hot dogs
- hamburgers
- Freedom Fries
- car sales (see introduction)
- porno of girls wearing flag-print underpants/wrapped in flags
- fireworks
- more fireworks
- your annoying little brother who spends the whole night playing with those stupid poppers 'cuz he thinks they're cool
- The National Anthem
- Ole Glory
- jacking off to pictures of Stephen Colbert/George W. Bush/Jesus (I know that's redundant, but cut me some slack.)
- Colbert Report marathons
- TP-ing of the Capitol building by the Democrats
- parties
- start the Christmas season by holding your tree-lighting ceremony (with fireworks)
- even more fireworks
- a hangover the next morning
People are encouraged to come up with their own ways to celebrate the 4th of July, though none that would be a sin against our Lord, such as safe sex or listening to Air America.

We find today that the whole world is burning in the fire of hatred and evil-mindedness. Everyday we read and watch the news reports of bloodshed and the ever-growing loss of innocent lives. Daily people resort to hatred and will even commit suicide to kill their supposed opponents. The cycle of revenge and hatred is repeated and copied by more and more people. The increasing spiral of hatred and oppression grows on a daily basis; more and more people are touched by this terror of hate and enmity.
|ਦੁਰਮਤਿ *1 ਅਗਨਿ ਜਗਤ ਪਰਜਾਰੈ ॥
दुरमति अगनि जगत परजारै ॥
|Ḏurmaṯ agan jagaṯ parjārai.
|The fire of evil-mindedness is burning up the world.
World War II (1939-1945) had brought misery and unprecedented bloodshed literally all over the earth and sea. The death of millions of people made the world leaders to get together and form the United Nations Organisation to avoid violence in future. In 1949, they passed the Bill of Human Rights to maintain peace all over the globe. However, we find that mutual hatred between different faiths and nations continues to result in killings everywhere.
Need for the Message
The humanity, which is split because of color, caste, country and creed of the people, needs the message of Gurbani for uniting it into one brotherhood for everlasting peace. This truth dawned upon me during my last fifteen years' participation in the inter-faith conferences and university discussions in different countries. The universal Gurbani message of peace was welcomed with clapping everywhere.
ਤੂੰ ਸਾਝਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਬਾਪੁ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥ (ਪੰ:੯੭ p97)
ਜਿਨੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਗਏ ਮਸਕਤਿ ਘਾਲਿ ॥ (ਪੰ:੮ p8)
ਤੇਰੇ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਰਬਤ ਕਾ ਭਲਾ ॥ (ਪੰ:੬੬੨ p:662)
Simply stated the message of these hymns is :God is our common Father, all people being His children form one multi-cultural brotherhood. Whosoever, irrespective of his caste or creed, loves the common Father succeeds in achieving the mission of human life. A devotee should always pray for the welfare of whole humanity, not just of his family or his community alone.
This message brought peace to the hearts of the listeners everywhere (anyway the Sikh philosophy of fatherhood of God and brotherhood of humanity cannot be questioned by any rational thinker).
Desire for the Message
Just look into any world journal, both religious and political organisations are longing for peace. They are trying all possible methods to get rid of hatred and develop a feeling of oneness among the human beings. During the golden jubilee of the Bill of Human Rights in 1999, the International Association for Religious Freedom held their three-yearly conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The theme chosen by them was "Creating an Earth Community — A Religious Imperative". I was to present the Sikh perspective. My very introductory statement brought a resounding applause from the whole house consisting of all religions of the world. I observed :
"Dear friends, the theme of the conference, "Creating an Earth Community", is actually the basic philosophy of my faith founded about five centuries ago. To share his revelation Guru Nanak, the founder of the faith, stated, "Do not divide people on the basis of their faith, caste or culture; we are all His children, hence equal. Do not consider anyone alien (or different) living anywhere on this earth. All people belong to one brotherhood, of course, they speak many different languages and practice many different ways to worship Him."
To explain the above message of Gurbani, I translated some hymns for the audience. I must share two of them with you today:
ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥ (ਪੰ:੬ p:6)
ਇਹੁ ਜਗੁ ਵਾੜੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮਾਲੀ ॥ ਸਦਾ ਸਮਾਲੇ ਕੋ ਨਾਹੀ ਖਾਲੀ ॥ (ਪੰ:੧੧੮ p:118)
i)In the preamble (page 6 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib) a hymn tells, "The person who accepts all human beings as his class-fellows, as equals and not as inferior or superior, is a truly spiritual person of the highest order. And one who controls his / her mind (ego) and does not let it hate others can win the whole world (with love)."
ii)Another hymn (page 118) explains that God may be compared to a gardener who takes care of all the trees, plants and flowers in his garden, irrespective of their shape, size, smell, or color. He loves them all because they together make the garden interesting and refreshing. Similarly God, our Gardener, takes care of us because He loves us all whatever our faith or race. We human beings having different cultures and features form one earth community and can jointly make the garden of humanity interesting and pleasing.
In brief our Lord wants us to live as one earth community by understanding our internal unity and respecting our outward apparent differences.
The desire for the message was also visible when a delegation of the representatives from Russia, Ukraine and Belaruss visited Punjab a couple of years ago and they stressed the need for "spiritual socialism". Professor Sidorov said, "Principles of Sikhism and its founder Guru Nanak Dev and Guru Gobind Singh are appealing more than any other spiritual way of life." According to the report dated 14th April in the Tribune a spiritual conference was planned in October to which Sikh leaders were to be invited for propagating the fundamentals of the Sikh faith. The report also mentioned, "Efforts are on to translate Sikh scriptures in various languages of the former Soviet Union so the people can follow the message of Sikh Gurus. Already Jap Sahib and Jupji Sahib have been translated."
Universal Acceptance
Let me share with you one more experience of the universal acceptance of the message of Gurbani. An interfaith conference was held during late 1980s at State University, Cleveland, Ohio. There were more than half a dozen speakers from different faiths. After each one had told the good points of his faith, a simple looking person asked a very embarrassing question, "What do the speakers have to say about the people of other faiths ? Will they be saved or not ?"
It was very difficult for any speaker to say that the people of his faith alone will be saved and the people of other faiths will not be permitted entry into Heaven. Every speaker, therefore, just kept beating about the bush; their difficulty of giving a straight answer was obvious to the listeners. For the Sikh answer, the author, who was the last person to speak, replied something like this:
"Friends, I very much appreciate this interesting and challenging question. However, it is not applicable to the Sikh faith. We believe there is one God, one humanity and hence one faith. Of course, we address God, our common Father, by many Names according to our language. Every day we find the worldly father being addressed as dad, daddy, papa and innumerable other names in the mother tongue of the children all over the world. Many names of God should not be taken to mean that there are many religions."
After telling about the wide spectrum of the contributors (Gurus and other men of God, born in Hindu, Muslim and low-caste families) to the Sikh scripture, I concluded, "No prophet or a community can claim a franchise on God. Anyone who loves Him can realise Him." The whole house, except the questioner, responded with clapping.
Climax, however, came after his second question, "What do you say about those who do not believe in God ?" The summary of my reply was, "The Sikhs believe that there is only one God, the only Father/Mother of humanity. One may love Him by any name or no name. Or one may not believe in Him at all. The fact remains that being the children of the same Father/Mother, we all human beings belong to one family. God loves us all. Hence a Sikh completes his prayer every day requesting God to bless the whole humanity."
Hearing this reply, the young man stood up, raised his hands and roared aloud, "I buy Nanak." Impressed by his emotions, the audience also stood up, clapped and gave a standing ovation to Guru Nanak. This episode took place during late 1980s.
The Message and the Panth
Now the question with which we should address ourselves is, "Why our youth, rather we ourselves, are not buying Nanak today." While believing in the brotherhood of humanity and having partaken of amrit together from the same bowl, why have we split ourselves into Jats (and their sub-units Majha, Malwa, Doaba), Ramgarhias, Ravdasias and other kinds of Sikhs. Unfortunately, to strengthen this division we have also split our Gurdwaras accordingly. We are further deeply divided because of our political leanings and because of our unquestioned commitment to the self-serving leaders.
In the early years of the 20th century the Khalsa Diwan Society was founded in Vancouver, BC, Canada; then in the Gurdwara it is on record that Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and many Christian Canadians not only prayed together but also jointly cooked and partook of langar together sitting in the pangat in the Gurdwara. However, influenced by the Sikh political leaders and the sub-castes of the members, presently the sangat is split into warring groups. Mutual hatred which prevails there between the Sikhs reminds one of the hatred between Hindus and Muslims in Kashmir. The chairs-in-langar issue has split even the families.
We must, however, also recognise that there are numerous Sikhs who not only believe but also practice the philosophy of brotherhood of humanity. I must mention one classical example from the history of the Shaheed Sikh Missionary College Amritsar. For their annual function, the trainees had invited some influential Sikhs. However, to the surprise of everyone, the college sweeper (of course, well-dressed) was inducted in as the chief guest by the Principal, late Professor Sahib Singh. With due respect, the principle served tea to him. The message of Nanak:
ਨੀਚਾ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨੀਚ ਜਾਤਿ ਨੀਚੀ ਹੂ ਅਤਿ ਨੀਚੁ ॥ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਤਿਨ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਾਥਿ ਵਡਿਆ ਸਿਉ ਕਿਆ ਰੀਸ ॥ ਜਿਥੈ ਨੀਚ ਸਮਾਲੀਅਨਿ ਤਿਥੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਖਸੀਸ ॥ (ਪੰ:੧੫ p:15)
was taught by actual practice. This message has to be adopted by the Panth as a whole to remove the inferiority complex of the lower strata of society. Practising it at the level of an individual Sikh, of course, has its own importance.
The Sikh teachings have not developed the psyche of the so-called low-caste Sikhs as equal members of society. All of you must have observed this in many social and religious functions. Here is my very sad experience.
About thirty years back when I asked a messenger boy to bring a glass of water he took unusually extra time and returned empty handed. While trying to conceal my anger, I asked the reason; his reply brought tears in my eyes. While wringing his hands he meekly muttered, "I, -----, Sir, ----I have asked the other boy to bring water for you." Without saying any word, the keshadhari Sikh youth expressed that he was a low-caste and the water would have got polluted by his touch. The water was brought. When I asked him to spill it over and bring water himself, his eyes showed a unique glow. He slowly said some words, "Sir, -- you --- also." I responded, "Yes, I am also of your caste."
That day a great mystery became clear to me. "What motivated the Sikhs to offer their lives for the mission of the Gurus ?" It was preaching and practising the equality of the people. The Guru loved all Sikhs equally and lifted their psyche to make them feel as members of the Guru family. This is what is missing from the Sikh community today and is the root cause of all our problems. We need to practice ourselves the teachings of Gurbani rather than bragging about their greatness.
Restarting the Movement for Peace
How to do it. The example of sangat, pangat and the Guru Khalsa Panth is before us. The Gurus did not just theorise it but also practically demonstrated it that peace can be brought to the warring communities by teaching them the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of humanity. During the time of Guru Nanak, the killing and torturing was going on in the name of religion. The kings and the judges were unjust. Religious preachers were sucking the blood of the common man by forcing meaningless rituals on them. Guru Nanak, as a champion of human rights of the weak, protested against the religious and political terrorism. In his following hymns the Guru very strongly and bluntly criticized them.
ਰਾਜੇ ਸੀਹ ਮੁਕਦਮ ਕੁਤੇ ॥ ਜਾਇ ਜਗਾਇਨ੍ ਿਬੈਠੇ ਸੁਤੇ ॥ ਚਾਕਰ ਨਹਦਾ ਪਾਇਨ੍ ਿਘਾਉ ॥ ਰਤੁ ਪਿਤੁ ਕੁਤਿਹੋ ਚਟਿ ਜਾਹੁ ॥ (ਪੰ:੧੨੮੮ p:1288)
ਕਾਦੀ ਕੂੜੁ ਬੋਲਿ ਮਲੁ ਖਾਇ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਜੀਆ ਘਾਇ ॥ ਜੋਗੀ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ਅੰਧੁ ॥ ਤੀਨੇ ਓਜਾੜੇ ਕਾ ਬੰਧੁ ॥ (ਪੰ:੬੬੨ p:662)
Is not the similar situation prevailing today ?
We find corruption and immorality in both religious and political institutions. Businessmen and officials are also a party to it. The society has started accepting this corrupt atmosphere as something inevitable and natural. We have to break this anti-social atmosphere and awaken the people to the possibility of bringing peace and justice to everybody the way Guru Nanak did.
Let the message of Guru Granth Sahib, we have installed in this educational institution today, be actually adopted and not just preached.We can share the principles of sangat and pangat with the world to remove or at least to substantially decrease mutual hatred amongst the people and bring peace to this world, the most urgent need of the people. We have to start it ourselves and from our own home. The life of the Sikh leaders and preachers should be clean and they should pressurise the politicians to behave, the approach which was followed by Guru Nanak. His philosophy was put into modern terminology when the World Conference of Religions for Peace, New Jersey, USA, 1979, concluded:
Too often the names and practices of our religions have been associated with warfare and strife. Now we must reverse this by:
1) Breaking down barriers of prejudice and hostility between religious communities and institutions.
ii) Confronting the powers of the world with the teachings of our religions rather than conforming to them when they act contrary to the well-being of humanity.
iii) Building inter-religious understanding in our local community.
Before closing, I must point out a great caution. The basic statement regarding the Sikh philosophy that all people, whatever their religion, are equal, is misunderstood quite often, sometimes intentionally.
I was invited to address joint sangats of the Gurdwaras of Singapore in a rented hall. A very common question but with deep implications was asked there by a Christian. "Can we say that Christianity and Sikhism are two brother faiths because both of them believe and work for the welfare of humanity."
The answer was very clear and straightforward. "No, they are totally different. Morality, which mostly is common in all religions, does not form the foundation of the religion. The faiths are identified by their philosophy regarding God and the mission of human life told to their followers. Christians believe that God fathered only one son named Jesus, all other people are born sinful. Christian God will permit into his heaven only those persons who believe Jesus as the only son of God and the Saviour. God as revealed in Gurbani loves all people. Further, human life according to the Sikh faith is a gift from God and not the result of the curse of the Creator.
The mission of the Christians is to find a place in heaven and they are scared of hell. On the other hand, Gurbani denies the very existence of assumed places called heaven or hell. The mission of a Sikh's life is to realise the Lord and not bother about these imaginary places. (Recently the Pope stated that heaven and hell are only concepts. This is a fundamental revision of the basic belief of the Semitic faiths to concur with the philosophy of the Sikh faith.) Suffering under the influence of vices, ego lust, anger, etc. is living in hell on this very earth. Singing the virtues of God and enjoying His love is living in heaven. Sikhism accepts all people as equal but it rejects all religions which claim sole franchise on God.

Digard sorry for Boro stay
Didier Digard admits he never thought his spell with Middlesbrough would have turned out like it did.
Last Updated: 15/02/10 8:08pm
Didier Digard admits he never thought his spell with Middlesbrough would have turned out like it did.
The Middlesbrough midfielder was loaned to Nice in January.
Boro boss Gordon Strachan allowed Digard to leave, and he looks unlikely to have a long-term future on Teesside.
And Digard admits, he did not see his Boro career going the way it has - after suffering relegation last season.
"When I joined Middlesbrough, I never thought I could endure a such difficult period," Digard told L'Equipe.
"The club was ambitious, but after good start, it felt off and never could react.
"The new coach at Middlesbrough, Gordon Strachan, didn't rely on me anymore. Nice had an objective: remaining in Le Championnat.
"I would have signed immediately for a team in competition for the national title, but I didn't have such an opportunity.
"Anyway, it is very nice that way. I want to feel helpful, bring something to the club, and participate to achieve the objective."
Meanwhile, Boro are still said to be keeping an eye on the French market.
Indeed reports claim that Boro are keeping close tabs on Brest keeper Steve Elana - who has been performing excellently for Ligue 2's surprise package.

Listening to Retronauts Live Episode 20 (original airdate: 9/1/2011) brought back a lot of memories of Star Fox for me. I agree with Kat Bailey that Star Fox had one of the best soundtracks on the Super NES. I was a big fan of both the original Star Fox and Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo 64 (Rumble Pak debut).
One thing the episode did not mention (I don't think) was the competition Nintendo held at malls across the country. I actually competed in it. It was called Super Star Fox Weekend. Nintendo developed a special cartridge for the competition. It was my first ever official video game competition. It happened in 1993. I had my mom take me to Software Etc. at Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem, NC to compete. I remember practicing for the event and being a bit nervous while I played. I ended up scoring well enough to win a free t-shirt. It's black and has the Super FX logo on front and the Star Fox logo on back (IIRC). I still have it. Some older "kid" got the highest score at that particular store. I think he won a Star Fox jacket.
