Author's Notes: Written for the Vampire Diaries Kink Meme.
Original Prompt: "Jeremy slash, preferably Tyler or Damon but Matt or Stefan would work too. Jeremy is tired of drawing out of figure books and wants a live model to work from. He appeals to someone's vanity to convince them to pose for him naked or shirtless."
[[ … One-Shot … ]]
The grill was not as packed as Jeremy would have liked it to be, given his current choice of activities. After all, he could only stare at any particular table for so long before he got the glare. The one that said it would be best for him to move on, or the one that asked what the hell was wrong with him. It was impolite to stare, but he didn't really have a choice.
He could only get so far sketching from still pictures. There was a fluidity in the way that people moved, a certain... aspect of the motion that he found difficult to capture. Quick sketching at the grill was about as close as he could get to it without asking someone to actually model for him. It didn't help that he couldn't think of anyone that he would have been comfortable asking. Or that he would mind staring at and drawing for that long.
So he sketched. The blonde that pinched the bridge of her nose when she laughed went on one page; the elderly gentleman who still looped his arm protectively over the back of his wife's chair was on the next. There were only so many poses that he could get from the patrons though. He had just started on the bartender when the door opened and one more face for his sketchbook walked in.
Damon didn't sit at the bar the way everyone else did; at least, not right away. Instead, he leaned over the bar top, holding out his hand to catch the bartender's attention. The quickest of sketches captured that moment; Jeremy hoped that he'd be able to remember the details later. Damon managed to look at complete and utter ease no matter what he was doing, and Jeremy wondered what exactly it was that lent itself to that appearance. Watching the tips of Damon's fingers lightly rest on the rim of the glass, he finally decided that it was a combination of Damon's grin and the elongated movements that he used. He glanced down and blushed, realizing he'd managed to fill not only one, but two pages of sketches just in the brief moment that Damon had been in the room.
He glanced up and quickly snapped his sketchbook closed. He couldn't find Damon leaning against the bar, and the last thing that he wanted was for Damon to come over and see that Jeremy had been so damned infatuated with him.
"Jeremy Gilbert, are you spying on people?" Damon's voice was practically right in his ear, and Jeremy jumped before he twisted around to look at him. The drink in Damon's hand made a quiet clinking sound as it touched the table.
Pulling his sketchpad in a little closer, Jeremy reached for his own drink- iced tea, nothing special- and shook his head. "I'm not!" Belatedly, he realized that Damon had been joking, and he felt heat rising in his cheeks. Guilty conscience. "I'm sketching."
But Damon wasn't taking 'no' for an answer, because he simply reached around Jeremy and tugged the sketchbook away. He flipped it open, thumbing through the first pages until he found the sketches Jeremy had just been working on. "Oh, you are such a liar. See," one of his fingers trailed over the lines, "there's Matt, busing tables, and hello, who is this?" His eyes lifted to scan over the nearby tables, and his grin widened. "She looks delicious, doesn't she?"
Jeremy sank into his chair, fidgeting and blushing even more darkly as Damon continued to match sketches with faces, and just before Damon turned the page to the sketches of him, Jeremy sighed loudly. Damon's eyes lifted for just a moment, and Jeremy slid his glass across the table between his hands. "I wouldn't have to do this if I could get a model, you know." He pressed the pads of his fingers against the glass, willing himself to stop trembling. It wasn't like Damon would bite him or anything. Not in public.
Damon laughed, and Jeremy's fingers twirled the pencil between them, wondering if he could capture that expression on paper. There were so many subtleties that he doubted he could, with the faintest trace of self-mockery and utter confidence in everything that he did, but Jeremy wanted to try all the same.
"Ooh," Damon leaned forward a little, just enough for it to be uncomfortable, and he arched an eyebrow. "Jeremy, are you asking me to model for you?"
A swallow, and then Jeremy met him halfway, a smile on his own lips. "And if I am?" He could feel his heart thudding in his chest, and he wondered if Damon could hear it. Damon studied him closely, and then he settled back in his chair, tapping his glass against Jeremy's lightly.
"Time for you to look elsewhere, pretty boy. I have better things to do." Damon took a drink, and he glanced over toward the bar.
Jeremy frowned. "Like what?" He followed Damon's gaze toward a pretty brunette and he snorted. "Really? Nothing... vampirey?"
"Vampirey?" Damon's grin returned. "Picking up something to eat too common for you, Mr. Gilbert?"
He fidgeted, and then Jeremy said, "You can..." He glanced around and lowered his voice a little more. "You can feed without killing, right?"
Clearly entertained by the sheer awkwardness that Jeremy was feeling, Damon considered the question for a moment, tapping his finger against the side of his glass. "I ... can, yes. Are you offering or just concerned?" His soft chuckle told Jeremy exactly what he figured the answer already was.
Jeremy hesitated only for a moment, and then he pushed his luck. "An arrangement then." His mouth was dry, and he let go of his own glass out of fear that he might squeeze it too hard.
Damon's eyes narrowed, all traces of amusement fading as he looked at Jeremy. "Interesting... You're treating me to lunch?"
"It's a fair deal." Jeremy's voice had gone up an octave, and he quickly sipped his tea. He really hoped that Damon couldn't tell how nervous he was. He hadn't been bitten since Anna's death, and to be perfectly honest, it hadn't exactly been clinical. "You know that."
There was a moment of quiet, and then Damon's arm fell over his shoulders, his hand tight on the back of Jeremy's neck. He pulled Jeremy out of his chair and led him out the back door. Jeremy did his best to keep a smile on his face- yeah, yeah, this happens all the time- and when they got outside, Damon pushed him against the wall, his eyes narrowing sharply.
"Does Elena know you're-"
"It's none of Elena's business what I do." Jeremy stuck his chin out, doing his very best to seem as calm as possible. Out here, without the sound of the grill to muffle it, he was absolutely certain that Damon could hear his heart pounding. It was unnerving. "Besides, you're supposed to be drinking blood bags, not people."
Damon stepped a little closer to him, and Jeremy thought he caught a flash of fangs. Maybe not though, because Damon's expression didn't change the way Anna's had. He did wonder how the hell Damon managed to make him feel so small in front of him when he knew he had a good three inches on him.
"Little boy all grown up?" Damon had that grin, and he pulled Jeremy down so that Jeremy's face was lower than his own. "That ring makes you a lot braver than you really should be." He drew a deep breath, and Jeremy realized belatedly that Damon was smelling him, scenting whatever it was that vampires smelled on their prey. "People are blood bags."
Jeremy shivered, and he reached up to twist the ring off of his finger, shoving it into his pocket. Damon had already proven that he was more than capable of pulling it off of him; it wasn't like it was actual protection against anything where he was concerned. He held up his hands where Damon could see them. "Take it or leave it, Damon. It's just an offer."
Damon stilled, and Jeremy watched him consider the options again. He didn't let Jeremy go, but his hand moved to lightly stroke his fingertips over Jeremy's throat. Jeremy really hoped that he didn't plan on biting him there; Elena would seriously freak out. Finally, he asked, "Just model for you?" His grip tightened marginally.
A nod, and Jeremy added, "Maybe some pictures for later reference? But yeah, just model. It's not exactly something that I'm asking just anyone." He licked his lips, and then Damon let him go, pushing him toward the door. He ducked in to grab his things, not wanting Damon to have time to change his mind, not wanting to give himself time enough to really think about what he was agreeing to.
Damon drove him to the Salvatore house, and it wasn't until they got there and Jeremy dropped his bag on the couch that he realized how awkward it really was. Damon was still looking at him as though he might leap on him at any moment, and Jeremy wasn't entirely sure that he wouldn't. He didn't relax until Damon poured a glass of whiskey, and even then, it was only marginal.
"How..." He swallowed, and when Damon poured another, he shook his head. Damon didn't seem to notice the motion though, because he just kind of pushed the glass into his hand as he perched on the edge of the couch. Jeremy sank down to sit beside him. "How do you want to do this?"
Damon licked his lips, looking down into his glass for a moment. His eyes lifted just as he took a drink. "Where do you want me?" The grin that played over his lips was decidedly wicked when combined with that eye-thing that he did, and Jeremy quickly cast a look back toward the door. Damon waved a hand, settling the glass on the nearest table surface. "Dear brother Stefan is out with your sister. We have a while."
Jeremy nodded slowly and placed his own glass near Damon's. "Then um... Maybe by the fireplace?"
"Maybe?" Damon was laughing as he pushed himself up to stand though, and he peeled off his shirt as he headed over to the fireplace. He leaned against the mantle, studying himself in the mirror, and Jeremy pulled out his digital camera quickly. He took a couple of photos, different angles, different tilts, and then he had his sketchbook in hand.
The pencil felt clumsy in his fingers as he found himself really trying to focus on Damon's body, and it took two pages before he had a rough sketch that he was happy with. He worked as quickly as he could, and it wasn't until he switched to a softer lead pencil that he let himself slow down. It was a little strange, studying Damon so closely, and as he worked, pencil lightly shading in and eraser marking out highlights, he realized that he was learning Damon far more intimately than he had anyone else.
When he finished the first one, Damon took another long drink of whiskey, and then Jeremy took a few pictures of him standing there like that, glass in hand. He didn't ask Damon to hold the position long enough for him to sketch it though. Instead, he chose to sketch him as he sprawled over the couch. As soon as he finished that one, Damon arched an eyebrow and started to peel off his belt.
The strangest thing was that a protest did not spring to Jeremy's lips. If anything, he simply furrowed his brow and sat up a little more. His fingers were holding on to the pencil so hard that the tips of them were white though, and Damon must have noticed. He peeled off the belt, dropping it to one side of the couch, and Jeremy wondered if he could get away with snapping another picture.
Then those fingers hooked into the front of his jeans, and Damon looked between them and Jeremy, almost like he was asking. Jeremy didn't know if he could nod, but he was pretty sure that if he could, he would have. As it was, he stayed perfectly still, pencil still in hand. Damon stood and let the jeans slide down his hips.
Clearly, Damon was enjoying himself more than he had let on.
Jeremy swallowed and glanced from Damon to the new, blank sheet of paper, and back again. When Damon found some new pose to take, Jeremy snapped a picture, then two, walking around him slowly, trying to determine which angles would be best for it.
He had finally managed to lose the tremor in his hands, but now it felt like his mouth was perpetually dry. He could only barely swallow. He sketched one more time, and he had just tucked the pencil back into the little box that he used for them when he found himself flat on his back on the floor. He wasn't entirely sure when he'd gotten there, but Damon's hand was around his throat and Damon was straddling him and when Damon licked his earlobe, it was everything he could do not to moan.
"You," Damon murmured lowly, right against his ear, "are a little tease. Did you know that?" He licked again, drawing Jeremy's ear into his mouth, and so help him, Jeremy couldn't find it in himself to move. He felt the sharpest prick of teeth, and he shivered. His hands stayed on the floor.
"Time for you to pay up." Damon's hands pushed under his shirt, and Jeremy made a low noise before he jerked back to reality. He looked toward the door, and Damon sighed. "Stefan isn't coming back any time soon." He peeled the shirt off over Jeremy's head, and Jeremy didn't move to stop him. He didn't want Damon biting his neck, after all, so the safest place would be somewhere on his torso.
Then that tongue started lightly tracing down his chest, and he shivered all over again. "Damon," he whispered, not sure where his voice had gone, "do it. Bite me."
A low growl, and then he felt Damon's teeth over his skin. He couldn't see Damon's face, but he was pretty sure that Damon had- and there were the fangs, piercing his skin, making him bleed so that Damon could lap the blood from him. He moaned, couldn't help himself, and his body arched into the touch. With Damon pressed against him, there was no way that Damon could miss his reaction to it, but with another bite, Jeremy discovered that he really didn't care.
He focused on the feel of Damon's tongue on his skin, on the feel of Damon drinking him in like that, and by the time Damon drew back to look at him, Jeremy was gasping for breath, unable to think. He only vaguely even noticed that Damon left him like that, alone in the living room, struggling to catch his breath, and then Damon was back, his hands quickly opening the front of Jeremy's pants.
Damon's hand wrapped around his length, and he felt Damon lapping up the last of the blood from his chest. He shifted into Damon's touch, making a soft noise as he heard Damon whispering in his ear, "Come on, pretty boy. Gonna take care of you." He trembled, and he cried out when he felt Damon move over him, felt him lean down and replace his hand with his mouth. He could feel Damon licking him, sucking and then he couldn't feel anything else at all. His body locked up and stuttered to a stop.
Jeremy didn't even understand what had happened until Damon kissed him, and he could taste something bitter, a sharp contrast to the tang of what he realized had to be his own blood. He moaned into the kiss, and Damon took advantage of it, pressing deeper, making him taste it. Slowly, Damon drew back, and Jeremy dragged shallow, desperate puffs of air into his lungs. He could feel Damon, still hard against him, and he arched against it, a part of him marveling at the fact that he had managed to stir that kind of response.
Damon made a low noise before leaning down to lick at the bite on Jeremy's chest, still bleeding sluggishly. Jeremy shivered under him, and then he asked, "Are you going to?"
"Going to what?" Damon sounded distracted, and Jeremy felt a giggle bubbling up. Damon had just given him probably the best orgasm of his life, and he was eating like nothing had happened. It was kind of kinky, if Jeremy let himself think about it too long.
Instead, Jeremy nudged his hips against Damon's. He raised an eyebrow, and Damon offered one last lick before he leaned back up to where his face was level with Jeremy's. His eyes were dark, and Jeremy reached up to lightly run his fingers over where he could see veins so prominently displayed. Anna had never liked it when he had touched her like that, but Damon didn't even seem to care. Jeremy pushed his hips up to Damon's again, and Damon growled lowly, his lips lingering over Jeremy's throat.
"You can," he whispered, and Damon slammed his hands back down.
"I can what, Jeremy?"
He felt Damon's fingers rolling the bracelet in between them, and Jeremy swallowed. Damon's hands were almost too tight around Jeremy's wrists, but he kept the bracelet in between his fingers, having drawn back enough that he could really look at Jeremy.
"You... You can do it, Damon." He trembled even as he said it, but Damon only pushed his hands a little more firmly against the floor, shaking his head. Jeremy felt something in him stirring at it, and he shifted his hips against Damon's one last time. "You can fuck me," he whispered, and when he felt Damon's tongue on his throat, he moaned. "Damon, please..."
"Please what?" That voice was so low, so dark that Jeremy barely recognized it, and Damon pressed against him, another growl already in his throat. Jeremy wondered just how Damon had already managed to get him aching all over again.
"Please fuck me, Damon." He felt like a freaking girl for saying it, but then Damon was rubbing against him, and Jeremy didn't care. Damon licked at the bite once more, his hands moving to get Jeremy's jeans all the way off, and there was a soft click of a bottle being opened. Jeremy trembled when Damon coaxed him into turning over onto his hands and knees, as he felt Damon's finger brush against him, push inside of him, and he wondered only briefly if he shouldn't have thought the whole thing through a little more.
Then he felt Damon's teeth scraping over his shoulder, and he moaned, tilting his hips into Damon's touch a little more. So long as Damon kept that up, Jeremy would let him do whatever he wanted. He felt himself stretching as Damon added another finger, and he bit his lip even as he felt Damon licking over his shoulder. When Damon got three inside of him, Jeremy was trembling, and Damon just kept teasing him, lightly dragging his fangs over Jeremy's shoulder, licking softly. Jeremy almost couldn't stand it.
And then the touch disappeared, and Jeremy felt Damon behind him, leaning over him. Damon's fingers slid down his arm to touch his bracelet, and before he could ask anything, Jeremy shifted under him. "Please, Damon," he whispered, and he felt Damon pushing into him at the same moment that teeth broke the skin of his shoulder.
He cried out, shivering and gasping, and Damon sank all the way into him, licking at the bite. Had it been anyone else, the soft licks against his shoulder would have felt apologetic, but from Damon, all Jeremy could think of was that they meant so much more; they were possessive.
Jeremy moaned when Damon started to move, but the burning had more or less subsided, and the motion actually felt pretty damned good. Then Damon pushed back in, and Jeremy felt his breath catch in his throat, his eyes widening at the feeling of being so almost-uncomfortably full. Damon licked again, and Jeremy could feel him licking a soft trail over his back. He wondered if his blood was running across his shoulders, streaking in a trail of red with each- he trembled- rock of Damon's hips.
"So pretty," Damon murmured, and Jeremy moaned at the sound of that voice, pitched so lowly. "Gonna come again for me, pretty boy?"
Jeremy managed a slight nod, wondering if he even had a choice. Damon was still rocking in and out of him, each push managing to stroke some spot inside of him that he didn't even know was there. Then Damon's arm reached around his hip, moved something under him, and wrapped around his length, stroking. Jeremy's arms gave out at that point, and he folded one of them to prop his head up on.
"Damon..." His voice sounded almost like a whine, but it clearly did something for Damon, because he felt Damon's fingers squeeze him just a little more. The motions were picking up speed, Damon's hand matching the speed that he was pushing into Jeremy, and Jeremy could feel himself beginning to tense.
He spilled over Damon's fingers without further warning, and he was still desperately trying to breathe when he felt Damon's hips slam against him, felt him release inside of him. Jeremy's eyes widened before they closed, and Damon didn't move for a moment. He wiped his hand on something under Jeremy, and then finally, he reached down and pulled himself out.
Jeremy moaned at the feel, and he shivered, suddenly chilled without Damon so close to him. He drew a deep breath and moved so that he was sitting on whatever Damon had wiped his hand on. A quick glance, and he groaned, realizing that it was his own shirt. He cast Damon a look, but Damon didn't even notice. He was licking the last of the blood from his lips, a satisfied grin on them.
Wordlessly, he held out his own shirt to Jeremy, and then he pulled his jeans back on. Jeremy thought it was an unusually chivalrous gesture- was it still chivalry if it was toward another guy? And he wiped himself relatively clean with his shirt before he stood on wobbly legs to get dressed. Damon didn't help him exactly, but he hovered awfully close, and Jeremy wondered if Damon was there to catch him if he fell. He wasn't about to try it though.
He pulled on Damon's shirt last, and he immediately realized that the motion wasn't as kind as he'd originally thought. It was too small for him, its fit uncomfortably close. When he glanced at Damon, he realized that it was the point. Damon looked as though he might like to bite Jeremy a few more times, and Jeremy was pretty sure that he would have let him.
He licked his bottom lip, and he reached up to push his hair out of his face. "So..." He drew a breath, and at Damon's arched eyebrow, he pushed himself to say, "Model for me again tomorrow?"
Damon laughed, reaching up to put a hand on the back of Jeremy's neck and pull him down for a kiss. He murmured against Jeremy's lips, "Only if you bring me lunch."

Apple's new iPad graphics benchmarked, beats every mobile device out there
0. phoneArena posted on 13 Mar 2012, 09:52
The new iPad scored the breathtaking 15, 924 points, 50%+ more than the iPad 2, which was the previous graphics champion. Apple iPhone 4S, which also sports the iPad 2's dual-core PowerVR is third, trailed closely by the best Android representative - the quad-core Acer Iconia Tab A510 with NVIDIA's Tegra 3...

Well Apple beating the pants off the competition as usual.
Best ecosystem
Most intuitive and user friendly
Best specs (screen, graphics etc)
Best accessibility support
Most accessories available
I could go on and on
89. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i'd give the iPhone everything on that list BUT the second one and the third one is hardly as relevant because iOS devices don't really push the hardware past a lazy comfort zone.

Next year those quad core CPU/GPU will match those of PS VITA

Another product that Americans will gobble up, because one does not want to be left out of the COOL zone....
Great job....keep up with those JONESES.

from the country that has the most Joneses :-)

when i see the real video then i may believe :D not just some numbers besides that such gpu power is not needed

As an old school computer gamer the performance of a device is not a sum of hardware but is a ballot between hardware and software optimization. Apple devices have always benefited with a great balance while Android has not and as a result under performs.

This is great news for all smartphone and Tablet users. Every time a new SOC comes out it always has something better than the others like CPU speed, GPU performance, battery efficiency or memory. Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, TI, and Nvidia push each other to all make better SoCs yearly. I was Impressed When the Tegra 3 came out, and the Exynos too(can't wait too see what is in the SGS3). Omap 5 looks like a beast, and the Snapdragon S4 has great performance. Can't wait for Cortex A15's and Power VR 6 series SOC's to appear. A5X has whats necessary for the "new Retina display. For new iPad users the A5X will have great performance for them throughout the year. I am impressed with the features of the New iPad but i feel that the A5X could of had those cores clocked at 1.2GHZ, the battery seems large enough to handle it but the GPU's and the 1GB of RAM will be enough, since the iPad 2 isn't slow by any means, plus with LTE the CPU config can be forgiven. Remember though, neither Android nor iOS are crap, they are both obviously popular for many reasons. They have their differences, strengths and weaknesses which makes users lean one way or the other. I can't imagine the world without Android or iOS.

what a pity! since new ipad entered the list of GLBenchmark.com, androids with tegra 3's rating also slipped down to half of new ipad's rating. this is really bad for tegra 3 because it even can not beats ipad 2 in GL benchmark.
I don't wanna take a speculation about apple's statement that say new ipad graphic speed is 4 times faster than tegra 3 but I still believe apple has some reasons to said that. May be new ipad can beat tegra 3 device til 4x in 2048x1536 resolution.

the ipad 2 is faster than the prime ? Luckily i didnt buy 1
96. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the Prime is faster than the 2.
107. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Really Fandroid ? The benchmark above says opposite
108. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
a slightly better GPU isn't a good enough trade-off for the raw processing might of the Quad-Core Transformer Prime iFan. :P
109. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
But I'll have to admit that the prime is really fast !
At least the new iPad still smokes it
110. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, the new iPad's Quad-Core PowerVR GPU is definitely a good trade-off for the Quad-Core CPU of the Tegra III.
105. Evil_SaNz (Posts: 259; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
To be clear:
if you need a tablet for surfing the web, you rather need CPU power
if you need a tablet for 3D OpenGL gaming - you rather need GPU power
Tegra 3's CPU smokes the A5X five times
iPad 3 GPU is less than three times more powerful than Tegra 3
In my house I'd use a tablet as a consulence device, needing a very fast internet experience - if I wanted mobile gaming I'd take a psp vita, rather than an ipad 3.
World is various :)

Diameter: 21.2 cm
Rim Width: 2.2 cm
Available Plastics:
Best Choice for: Headwind drives, Power players, Windy conditions
Date of Approval: 09/21/06
The Max is a fast stable driver. It is much like a faster Firebird or Monster. It is a great disc for forehand drives. Backhand throwers can use it for anhyzer flex shots and spike hyzer throws. The Max is predictable and dependable into the wind. The Max is designed for more experienced players with powerful backhands or sidearm throwers. Now available at the Innova Factory Store.
Paul McBeth
The Max is a very over stable disc that is good in any weather condition. It has a wide rim that is well-suited for both backhand and forehand throwers. The Max does not fear even the windiest of conditions.
Steve Wisecup
The combination of distance and reliability into the wind makes the Max a must have disc for every pro. For me, it flies like a very long Firebird.

Laws of Motion
Newton's first law of motion: An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
My own words: A moving object will continue moving unless an unbalanced force is applied to it.
Example of demonstration: I could kick a ball to a wall and show how the wall stops the ball because it an unbalanced force.
explanation of the picture: This shows that the dirt bike is stopped because and unbalanced force was applied to the dirt bike.
Newton's second law of motion: Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
Own words: The second law of motion basically means that the heavier an object is, then the more force that is needed to be applied.
Explanation of demonstration: I could have another person stand up there with me and we could push against each other to show how you have to apply more force for the more mass there is.
Explanation of the picture: The picture shows that a lot of force has to be applied because they are trying to pull the rope all the way over to their side, so therefore they are having to apply more force.
Newton's third law of motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
Own Words: In my own words this means that there is always a reaction it is just going in the opposite direction.
Explanation of demonstration: I could push somebody or somebody could push me and then there would be a reaction and and opposite reaction.
Explanation of the picture: This picture represents how there is somebody tackling another person but there is an opposite reaction.

My thoughts and beliefs on Transcendentalism
One of the main beliefs I have is Individualism. This is a strong belief of mine because I believe that everybody should be different and true to themselves. If we were all the same, imagine how boring the world would be. By being different, we keep the world interesting and fun. We also broaden the world's knowledge by doing so. Another strong belief I have is be knowledgable. If we all had the same knowledge, the world would make no improvements about anything. Also, if we did all think the same we wouldn't find cures for sickness's or anything like that. A final reason is because the world cannot be ran by dumb people. These two beliefs go hand in hand, because in order to be individualistic, you have to have your own knowledge and thoughts on everything.

Street Style: Crochet Top and Miniskirt
Look of the Day: Crochet Cool
Fab reader Davida10 mastered Summer-cool '70s style. Between the wide-knit crochet top, easy blue mini, and lace-up flats, she's pulled together perfectly easy pieces, each with a little statement power. Add in the aviators and her covetable Mulberry bag and it's an all around swoon-worthy style moment we're already out to re-create.
Congrats to Davida10!
Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might just feature you on FabSugar!

|OBAMACARE FACEBOOK ERUPTS WITH CITIZEN STICKER SHOCKby END TIME HEADLINES
On Thursday, the government's official Obamacare Facebook page was riddled with people expressing sticker shock over the government's high cost premiums after struggling for hours to wade through the technical failures vexing Obamacare exchanges all across the country. "I am so disappointed," wrote one woman. "These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!" The comment received 169 "likes." "There is NO WAY I can afford it," said one commenter after using the Kaiser Subsidy Calculator. "Heck right now I couldn't afford an extra 10$ [sic] a month...and oh apparently I make to [sic] much at 8.55/hour to get subsidies." Another person shared a link found on the federal government's main Obamacare page listing premium estimates for small business employers: The information is not very complete as I don't see anything about deductible or other detailed info, but it does given an actual price as to the "Premium." It is VERY SCARY!! For example, my insurance plan right now for my spouse and I costs $545 a month with 100% coverage after my $2500 deductible. We are both 32 years old. When I looked at this site for 80% coverage it says it will be $954.78 a month!!!! So compare my old Plan: 100% coverage for $545 a month To New Plan: 80% Coverage for $945 a month. This is only only an estimate but it is VERY Scary for me to see this kind of increase in rates and reduction in benefits! More

Giuly wants PSG stay
PSG winger Ludovic Giuly insists that he is happy at the club, amid speculation linking him with a move.
Last Updated: 30/04/10 11:14am
Paris St Germain winger Ludovic Giuly has insisted that he is happy at the club, amid speculation linking him with a move away.
The former Barcelona star has scored only three times in 29 Ligue 1 games so far this season, and reports earlier in the week suggested he was on the way out of Parc des Princes.
Greek side Panathinaikos are one name in the frame for a possible bid, but the 33-year-old has denied receiving any offers.
He told radio station France Bleu Ile de France: "I have not had any offers. I feel good in Paris, I don't see why I would look elsewhere."
PSG have had a mediocre campaign in the French top-flight and currently lie in mid-table.
Giuly, whose other former clubs include Lyon, Monaco and Roma, says he does not want to leave, but only as long as he is in the club's plans.
He added: "If I do not fit into the plans here, I would have a discussion with the coach and the club president, for sure."

I know this girl who simply cannot agree with me on the slightest things.
Like if I'll say, 'this thing is really great,' she'll sort of be like, 'nahh not really I didn't think so.'
I find it hard to talk to her.
When I walk into a class too, she'll be sitting there with her phone, almost irritated at my presence. When she was on her phone and I was politely talking to her, sensing she didn't want to talk I stopped.
She actually moved her laptop away from me. I was like lol seriously.
Or before going too she'll have this 'whatever' attitude to saying goodbye.
You know what I think this is about? Because I'm really confident/easy-going, she tries to act like she's smarter.
Why is she behaving like this?

"These gift tags in the choice design are so beautiful..I selected them in the scalloped shape and the picture frame shape with the matching ribbons to tie onto the wedding favors at the place settings....Just perfect. I also bought these to tie onto the bridal shower gift bags at each place settings at the shower. Perfect."
"Oh my goodness I love these! We put an ampersand instead of a letter and they look so cute. The pink went well with our invitations even though they weren't an exact match. (We did the "Flourishing Joy" ones.) They're going to go on our macaroon boxes and I think they're perfect."
"Love these little tags! I will tie them with raffia to napkin wrapped bread at each setting at the rehearsal dinner. Nice thick card stock and great colors (and choices). I was given several choices of how I could customize the tag and response was really fast. Will be memorable at the rehearsal dinner. Thank you Divas!!"
"loved this idea. We put these stickers on little mason jars with pink covered chocolate inside and it look beautiful for her Bridal shower..."
"I changed the text to: "showering Mary with love" and put on a wrapper to go around handmade soap as a favor for our shower guests. The bride and guests loved it!"

On the marble tabletop of Booth No. 3 at Lagomarcino's were two empty glass tulip sundae dishes.
That was the sweet finale of the visit of Barack and Michelle Obama. They left Lago's, late Wednesday afternoon, holding hands.
It began with a "Yum," said Beth Lagomarcino, who witnessed the arrival. That was the first lady's reaction to Lago's. "It smells so-o-o good in here." Michelle had just opened the door of Lagomarcino's, Davenport's sweetest stop. Her husband, the president, nodded. The smell was delicious.
Lago's, by chance, had become headquarters — the nerve center — for the Obamas during their Wednesday afternoon visit.
Oh, it was a charming stop for two of the world's most famous people, who left the Village of East Davenport candyland carrying boxes of gummy candies for their daughters, sea salt caramels for themselves and happy thoughts after knocking off hot fudge sundaes.
This Lagomarcino encounter with the Obamas had its sweet twists.
"We had long ago booked a bank bus tour from Nebraska for lunch on Wednesday," says Beth. "I had to call them and say … well … 'we have a little thing happening in the Davenport store and we'll have to make a change.'"
All of this was more than a little thing happening. It left the Lago family a nervous wreck. They had known before anyone else locally that the Obamas were coming to town. They had to keep the secret and that their store was to be the staging area.
"I was afraid to even tell my wife," says Tom. "We were sworn to such secrecy."
Says his sister, Lisa Lagomarcino Ambrose, "Well, the Obamas loved our place and all the good things to eat. I can't remember a woman who was so charming as Michelle. Just plain down-home friendly."
Lisa greeted the Obamas with a tray of candies with a sign that said, "You are special today."
"They really liked our sea salt caramels," says Lisa. "Both of them kept saying, 'Aren't these good?' After the first lady said, 'Oh, gosh, they are so sweet and soft,' I fixed up a box for them to take home."
For the Obama daughters, Lisa packed a box of gummy candies, gummy snakes, frogs and butterflies. A special treat was a handful of gummy Lego blocks.
I sampled the chewy Legos and gave up after they stuck to my bridgework.
After the Obama caravan left, and the exhausted Lagomarcino family had gathered in the restaurant, I noticed the two empty glass tulip dishes on the table of Booth No. 3. They contained only dribbles of melted ice cream and fudge. Alongside them were two scrunched-up paper napkins.
"Oh, we should just leave them there for history's sake," says Tom with a sly laugh.
They were what was left of the hot fudge sundaes that had been served the famous couple.
One was empty, and the spoon looked to have been licked. The other had a little melted ice cream in the bottom.
"The empty one was where President Obama sat," says Tom, who personally served them, wearing his white starched apron.

Lessening acid reflux
If you have acid reflux, smoking and drinking can greatly increase your risk of complications, including the development of esophageal cancer.
If you have acid reflux, avoid the following:
•Eating large volumes of food
•Eating less than three hours before bedtime
•Caffeine, including coffee and soft drinks
•Liquor, including wine and beer
•Citrus, tomato, and cranberry fruits and juices
•Ice cream or milkshakes
•Chocolate (one of the worst offenders)
•Sour cream
•High-fat desserts
•Peppermint (one of the most potent esophageal sphincter relaxers of all! Avoid those after-dinner mints)
•Wearing overly tight clothing.

Seddie is one of the most popular love/hate relationships on NiCK.
There has been many evidence in the series that this relationship will eventually happen. I've heard this couple hit the ratings chart for best relationships in iCarly, being vote "Hottest Couple."
Some Seddiers see Carly using Freddie's love for her own interests (note: iMake Sam Girlier)
Some also see she is a bit shallow as seen in iDate A Bad Boy.
Seddie might happen in the future. Even though Freddie & Sam agrue with one another, in a few episodes, it is proven the two care about each other. iStart A Fanwar had many Seddie moments inside the episode, since normally, Sam will attack someone in previous episodes if they state her and Freddie as a couple.
Seddiers has done many things to approve of the relationship.

Review: Canon T3i/600D
Bare in mind this review is from a beginners perspective. I'm not that advanced when it comes to DSLR camera's so I'll be reviewing the camera as whole as oppose to going through every tiny advanced feature. So far I am very pleased with it's performance. I love the fact that it has a new option called "feature guide", which gives you a brief description of what every setting on the camera does.
The price tag for this camera is $899(250KD) which includes a standard canon lens as well, buying the camera alone will be $100 cheaper. The box includes 3 booklets that teach beginners how to take pictures professionally, it was really helpful. Here are the list of items that come inside the box:
- T3i/600D Camera
- EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Type II Lens
- Wide Strap
- USB Interface Cable
- AV Cable
- Battery Pack
- Battery Charger
- Digital Solution Disk
- Manual + Booklets
The lens take a huge role in photography. There are specific lenses used for taking macro shots, wide shots and so forth. For starters I'm sticking with this lens that initially came with the camera itself. Most of my pictures will probably be focused on food reviews but with this camera I can finally do much more than that.
One of my favourite features with the T3i/600D is the adjustable screen. My cousin owns a T2i/550D with a fixed screen and his only regret was not having this feature. It's really helpful when you want to take close ups and can't look at the screen given your location. So you can just pull it out and rotate it to your liking. Note that the screen isn't detachable.
Here are some photo's I have taken through out the week. I tried to take close ups to long range shots to give you a better understanding of the camera's capabilities. All pictures were shot in compressed JPEG 18 megapixels format. The file of each photo is around 4-6MB. If you want to shoot RAW shots with no compression they would go upto 25MB per photo.
If you have any questions feel free to ask away. Also, if you want to request one of the photo's in it's original resolution you can do that as well. To do so, just go to the contact page and fill it up.

You could not have asked for a better package. The wage is a massive increase from your previous one. The job title sounds inspiring and your new office is a shrine to modern gadgets and technology. Which pioneering accountant would not be tempted?
But accountants are under increasing pressure and high flyers need a climate in which they can succeed. Those entering new roles have particular challenges and must prepare well if they are to make their transition a successful one.
In fact you should always think twice before you make any move. According to a new Hays Management Consultancy report, Leadership in New Roles, just over half of all respondents did not feel that their new jobs fulfiled expectations. This was followed by their disappointment in the capability and performance of their new staff, which one-quarter of the 247 respondents found lacking.
Nearly three quarters of respondents said there was at least one area of their new role that required clarification, including key areas such as performance measures (39%) business strategy (32%) and areas of responsibility (30%).
An emotional experience
Moving roles is often an emotional rather than a rational experience.
When people are head-hunted or company mergers create new roles or make them redundant old networks are often left behind and new relationships have to be forged a new.
This research underlines the importance of conducting due diligence on the team and the people you expect to be working with.
Those who have received coaching reported fewer problems relating to loss of support, friendships and the change of office environment. However, nearly one third of those who had received no coaching did experience difficulties.
Preparation helps but does not overcome all the challenges that new movers face. Our findings also show that 52% of executives miss their previous friendships in their old workplaces. Now that the average business executive can now be expected to work in up to five organisations with several role changes in each this can lead to stress and frustration.
Female managers finding moving harder
Female managers invest more into their friendships in the workplace than their male counterparts. When they leave these organisations they can feel the strain of the move more than their male colleagues.
And the research indicates that younger managers lose out as well. Current economic pressures mean graduates are increasingly being introduced into senior management roles that have not been clearly defined. It is not fair to put such pressures on graduates. They receive a lack of support in these roles and few will succeed in them. Training was cited as a key motivator and respondents recognised the importance of continuous development.
More than half (59%) of respondents wanted to further develop their ability to influence across organisational boundaries. Just under half (40%) wanted to develop top teams.
Before you decide to move into a new role consider the following:
- Investigate the financial security of the organisation that you will be joining. Find out if there are any mergers, acquisitions and strategies that are going to be proposed
- Find out whether the culture of the organisation suits your needs and personality
- Obtain a professional opinion on your legal contract. Make sure that it is watertight, and that you get all of your benefits
- Always leave your current firm in goodwill. You may need to re-contact your old colleagues for professional help and advice
- Make sure you aware of what is expected of you in your new role. Know what the team around you is expecting of you and what you expect from them
- Before you start work at your new place make an effort to know how the place works
- Build strong relationships with your colleagues, the stakeholders and the support staff. In the transitory period you will need their support
- Form some objectives that you wish to meet by the end of your first 90 days. This will give you something to focus on and aim for.

These procedures include a requirement that these non-immigrant aliens appear in person upon request at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office to verify information by providing more information or documentation confirming compliance with the conditions of their visa status and admission.
The removal of these designated countries from NSEERS is a determination that these special manual procedures are redundant to automated systems of capturing entry-exist information and that they do not enhance national security.

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky
NASHVILLE -- Nineteen Titans rookies practiced twice Friday. The second session was open to the media and held in the practice bubble because it was pouring outside.
With such limited numbers it was far easier to get impressions of skill guys than linemen or, say, fourth-round linebacker Gerald McRath, the lone player at his position.
Even these early impressions do not mean a lot given the context, so please don't get overly excited about any of this.
Here then are five quick observations and notice of one more to come:
1. Receiver Kenny Britt looked the part of a first-rounder, carrying himself with confidence, breaking down comfortably and making several nice catches. Jeff Fisher called "Rutgers vs. Rutgers" on the final play of a passing period and Britt lined up against college teammates Jason McCourty, a sixth-round pick.
Quarterback Alex Mortensen threw it up in the back left corner of the end zone from 12 yards and Britt did just as advertised -- he went up and got it with a twisting, acrobatic catch. It was the sort of grab the Titans rarely got last season.
Alas, it was incomplete, as Britt came down with one foot out of bounds.
"Last year it would have been good," Fisher said of college's one-foot rule.
2. Third-round tight end Jared Cook looks very much like a receiver.
Fisher said he could envision Cook adding 15 to 20 pounds to his 6-5, 246-pound frame. Cook's arms are very long and he ate up over-matched seventh-round safety Nick Schommer in a few one-on-one chances. In combination with Britt, the Titans sure look to have upgraded their quotient of go-up-and-get-it pass catchers.
3. Fifth-round running back Javon Ringer was not well-served by getting No. 3 on his uniform. It makes him look very narrow. He said he hasn't seen what he looks like in it yet, but laughed about it after practice, saying he definitely aspires to a two-digit number, hopefully in the 20s.
4. Sixth-round receiver Dominique Edison made a couple nice catches in one-on-ones by coming back to the ball and going to the ground to collect passes.
5. Third-round cornerback Ryan Mouton is almost fully recovered from a hamstring injury, but coaches told him to be smart and he didn't do much at full speed.
That left room for McCourty to take the lead in some instances, and he looked comfortable doing so. He said the attention Britt drew as a prospect definitely increased opportunity for him to make his case to NFL scouts. McCourty has nice size and looked to transition into and out of his backpedal and break on balls well.
Undrafted rookie defensive tackle Mitch King gets a blog entry of his own. Look for it soon.

Thousands of chocolate lovers gathered for educational exhibits, live music, and plenty of sweet samples at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden's tenth-annual International Chocolate Festival this weekend. Though Miami has several events featuring the confection, Fairchild's festival takes guests on a journey through the entire chocolate process, from cacao tree to bar.
The connection between a botanic garden and a celebration of chocolate lies in the education. The garden allowed curious guests to explore the various practices of growing and harvesting the tree, which is in critical shortage around the world. The festival's hands-on educational experience also included learning to cook with chocolate and candy-making techniques.
For guests wanting to attend simply to enjoy chocolate, vendors were on hand offering it in every form, from cakes to drinks to cacao nibs.
Gerbaud Bakery offered a variety of filled pastries, including this chocolate rugelach.

From 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, food trucks and kiosks were nestled in Fairchild's clearings. Tents housed various chocolate-related displays and live cooking demonstrations, led by leading Miami chefs.
Guest sampled and purchased chocolate in pies, pastries, and other forms.

Miami chocolatiers such as Cao Chocolates and Exquisito offered all the classics, from bars and barks to the famous chocolate fountain.
In addition to offering their bestselling coconut flavor, Gringa Flan created a special chocolate flan for the festival.

Vendors also sold more innovative takes on the treat, featuring chocolate baked into intricate truffles, coated on crisp quinoa, and drizzled onto candied bacon.
These treats by Exquisito Fine Chocolates — made with Oreo wafers, torched marshmallow, and ganache with cookie crumbles — will also be featured at the upcoming South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

Spending the day munching on cocoa can make you wonder what makes this stuff so damn good. luckily, lectures by local experts covered a wide range of topics, including chocolate's recent diversification and sustainable harvesting methods.
At the Living History of Cacao and Chocolate Tent, guests could learn about the chocolate-making process.

Guests seeking a more immersive experience could explore the Chocowalk, a series of educational booths throughout the gardens that traced the chocolate-making process, from fruit to the beloved final product. Also on the route was a KidWay Station, where children could create their own chocolate labels and customized treats.
Crepes from CrepeMaker were among the savory options.
