We had a great night, no sex or anything - I know he likes me and I made it clear that I like him but when we text he is boring and unresponsive and he never takes initiative. He doesn't ask me to hang out or even texts me first. Am I over thinking everything? Should I cool off? Or should I move on? And he is 22 and Mormon.. I don't know if that changes things.. I'm not Mormon.
Most Helpful Guy
I don't know about the mormon thingy but I think you should cool off... Some people just don't know how to text & they sound pretty boring when they do so. Try to hangout in a really fun place with lots of potential. If he turns out to be actually boring then its your call.
& by the way there is a possibility that he is not interested.00|00|0

One might detect, if one somehow had the inclination, a certain level of melancholy in some of my baseball writing. I assure you that this is in no way reflected in my love for the game in question, but rather a defect in my upbringing wherein my parents lamentably provided me no real tragedy with which to ground my craft. I am a Mariners fan, and this has done its best to to counter my unfortunate life of fortune, but I doubt it's enough.
Perhaps this is why I took to baseball, rather than football or basketball; in football the offense and defense of a game is seen as a net zero sum, with only occasional flashes of unstoppable brilliance from either side. In basketball, where defense is still treated by the media with uncomfortable derision, offensive performance is quantified as varying levels of heroism, on a scale from zero to one. Only baseball, as Ted Williams remarked, is littered with failure. The best batters get out six times out of ten, and the onus of this is still placed on the shoulders of the hitter, rather than the will of the defense. We are not yet writing poems about the man who struck out Mighty Casey.
The purpose of this long-winded introduction, as you may have surmised, is to reflect on some of the writings of nineteenth-century philosopher and general malcontent Arthur Schopenhauer, specifically his unshakable opinion that the world is full of suffering. His best line: "A quick test of the assertion that enjoyment outweighs pain in this world, or that they are at any rate balanced, would be to compare the feelings of an animal engaged in eating with those of the animal being eaten." Misery is everywhere, and it's unavaoidable.
What does this have to do with baseball? As we reach the end of August, everything. As one who appreciates our sport's stringent requirements for playoff berths, and the arduous 162-game trek that takes us there, I must pay for it with the month of September. As do the fans of the 15 other teams who, like mine, have less than a ten percent chance of reaching the postseason this year. Even for those more fortunate souls, all but one season will end in disappointment. 97% of all baseball teams will fail.
Yet we stagger along; our unfulfilled desire for glory, reflected in the men who wear our colors, causes us pain. There's always waiting for next year, but sometimes the hardest part is waiting out the rest of this year first.
Schopenhauer's got his own answer, of course: suicide. The world is an awful place, there's no reason (for him) to think that death is going to be any worse than whatever you were doing before you were born, and every man and woman has the right to take their graceful exit. From a baseball standpoint, the option is still there: you can just quit, give up baseball for a while and get back into painting miniatures or writing string quartet ensembles or leveling up your Blood Elf shaman or whatever it is you choose to do with your free time.
There are other alternatives, of course. You can throw your fandom behind the progression of The Kids, assuming your franchise has a youth movement to cherish. As someone whose team's rotation boasts Kevin Millwood, rental pitcher/clay golem, whose WAR this year (2.3) exceeds that of Dustin Ackley (1.7), Jesus Montero (0.1) and Justin Smoak (-0.8) combined, I can assure you that this is not always an easy task.
You can also spontaneously molt, shed your teal jersey and pronounce yourself a citizen of the world. My colleague, Mr. Baumann, recently provided some excellent instructions for leasing out your fandom. Alternatively, there are those who can refine their love of baseball toward the atomic level, paring everything down to Giancarlo Stanton's swing, Mike Trout's everything, and Jose Valverde's save face. All of these are perfectly acceptable, natural reactions. In fact, I envy the people who can do it so well.
But Schopenhauer wouldn't be on board with any of these things. It's death, pain, then death. That's it; no seasons, no cycles, no restarts. An existence or a fandom that you can erase and recreate at will is no existence at all. Besides, he was never the kind of guy who would run away from suffering. He exalted it. So do I, in a way.
Just as every story needs its rising action, and every boy needs to lose girl so that he can get girl back again, the baseball fan needs to suffer. One cannot know pleasure unless one knows pain. Otherwise the championship becomes stale, then expected, then necessary; we eventually become unhappy with what we have. Happiness, instead, lies in the mercury; it brings us unexpected joy and then reminds us why we shouldn't expect it. It gives Seattle 1995 and Boston 2004, knowing that neither of these would have been possible without 1994 and 2003.
This is why we decry the bandwagon. It's not because it somehow cheats the passionate fan. Rather, by providing contrast, it can only serve to elevate his or her dedication. It's because the bandwagon fan is cheating themselves, failing to pay in advance the pain that fandom requires. Being a fair-weather fan is easy, but it's unrewarding. They've denied themselves their red badge of courage; they can't meet eyes at an opportune time and mutter, "Bavasi", like early Christians drawing half-fishes in the sand as a secret handshake.
After the Mariners postponed the inevitable for a few strange weeks, it finally looks like the lean years will include one more in their number. And someday maybe I'll be nursing a Rainier and laughing about the year John Jaso posted a .900 OPS, and Chone Figgins posted an OPS. 2012 wasn't a good year, Future Me will admit, but it was as real as any of the others. It just made 2036 that much sweeter.
So, dear patient reader, what do you think? Does suffering make the reward more sweet, or does it just add empty space between the finer moments? Is it better to have a consistent .500 team with the occasional Wild Card run, or a Marlin-style pattern of feast and famine? Is it more important to be happy, or to not be unhappy?

This week, eight men who are believed to be members of ISIS were detained at Ataturk Airport in Turkey. According to IJ Review, the men were planning to sneak into Europe posing as Syrian refugees.
Authorities found a handwritten note on one of the suspected terrorists detailing migration route from Istanbul to Germany via Greece, Serbia and Hungary. This route included taking smuggler boats across the Mediterranean Sea and taking several trains and buses.
In a disturbing twist, police found a Syrian passport on one of the suspects that was nearly exactly the same as the one found in the possession of one of the terrorists who blew himself up in Paris on Friday.
The passport has the same name, date of birth, and place of birth as the one found on the Paris terrorist. In fact, the only difference between the two passports is the photo. Making matters worse, officials in Syria claim that as many as six other men have entered Europe with the exact same passport.
This proves just how dangerous letting in Syrian refugees REALLY is! We must STOP Obama before he lets 10,000 of them into our country!

AbstractThe objective of this project is to develop a new class of antennas -- an integrated phased array antenna (IPHAR). The novel antenna system is of the travelling wave type, it has a planar multilayer design and can be fabricated with the use of printed circuit block (PCR) technology. The multilayer antenna design consists of two anisotropic electrically controlled layers, and an active layer with low-noise HEMT, HBT transistor amplifiers (receiving or with powerful amplifiers (transmitting) on a dielectric or ceramic substrate with patch radiating and coupling elements above the upper anisotropic layer. The proposed new concept combines many different functions in one unit: waveguiding, electromagnetic power distribution, phase-shifting, radiation. For specific antenna applications, the new design possesses the capability of multibeam and adaptive pattern nulling operation and may be successfully applied in mobile radio communications, as well as in microwave and millimeterwave frequency bands.

Sort of an odd request, but I've been wanting to start a chipmusic themed patch-jacket (some call it a "battlejacket") and while I already have a few patches, I don't have many.
If anyone here happens to have old shirts, or hell, even actual patches, they'd like to sell or trade to me, let me know! My taste in chiptune is very broad, and I'm also in class, so I can't really name any acts off the top of my head...so post away, and if it's an artist I listen to, I'll letcha know if I'm interested!
(for those curious, I would plan on turning said shirts into patches, so if you wanna exchange it for someone to keep intact, I'm not your guy haha)

Range is pleased to advise that the vessel carrying the first new 4,000 m rig has arrived at the port in Trinidad. This is the largest rig to be added to Range Resources Drilling Services Limited ('RRDSL') drilling fleet this year.
The other three new rigs (with drilling capabilities of 2,000 m, 1,500 m, and 1,000 m) are on route to Trinidad. The vessel carrying the rigs is currently passing the coast off the US and will make a stop in Guatemala before arrival at the port in Trinidad. The rigs are now expected to arrive by the end of September.
The 4000 m rig is expected to be available for drilling from October 2015, and the other three new rigs from November 2015, subject to a number of conditions, including customs clearance, various government and regulatory approvals and availability of suitable drilling staff to operate the rigs.
Following shareholders' queries, the Company wishes to clarify that the Guayaguayare deep commitment well which was not included in the work programme schedule released on 24 August 2015 is expected to be drilled next year. The details including proposed spud date for this well are still being finalised and will be released in due course.

Kyle's Weekly Colorado Corner: Three Thumbs Down, Three Thumbs Up!
A Fourth of July victory for the Colorado Rapids! Yet, Colorado remain at the bottom of the Western Conference and take on Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Vancouver are tied with Seattle at the top of the Western Conference and will host Sporting Kansas City on Sunday.
Three thumbs down:
First thumb down goes to the passing. Yes, we've had this conversation before. The passing accuracy this week was about 3% better than it was last MLS game against Spork, but 10% lower than against Houston in our U.S. Open Cup loss. Remember, we showed up really poorly in the first half of that USOC game, but much better in the second half, and I think we all could definitely agree that the team today in Commerce City more closely resembled the second half Rapids of Tuesday. Now if only we could have gotten those passing numbers up…
Second thumb down goes to all those yellow cards. Three yellow cards, all within fifteen minutes of each other, and sixteen fouls? Crazy town. I don't mind yellow cards coming in the run of play when a player does something great/important/whatever and happens to get a card, but none of these came while anything important was happening. There was no reason to get those cards. However — it's possible the ref saw the game getting out of hand (the Caps got two cards and ten fouls) and started handing out cards in an attempt to slow down the fouls. Did it work? I don't know. I just don't love it. Don't give cards unless they're necessary, and when all three of them come so close together it makes me nervous.
Third thumb down goes to Drew Moor being out to the side, again. He belongs in the center. Hard for me to say that when we clearly won, but he plays better in the center, as a general rule. He didn't have a superb game — not a terrible one either for sure, but just not as great as we're used to seeing him have, defensively. I just don't like Drew out on the side.
Three thumbs up:
First thumb up goes to Kevin Doyle. Not only did this Irishman score his first Rapids goal on Happy America Day, which I'm sure is a great welcome to the country, he was generally great in this game. For example, looking at his passing chart on Opta, about two thirds of his passes were successful. I don't really want to throw out names to compare but when I look at other Rapids players, he blows them out of the water. He also won five fouls and lost none. This guy just showed up to play and did a great job.
Second thumb up goes to all those shots. We took fourteen shots last night. Four were on target, five weren't, and five were blocked. Against Sporting, we took five. What this tells me is that the team is trying. I feel like that has been the constant outcry of Rapids fans — "we aren't even trying!" Well guess what? Last night it felt like we were certainly trying. I think my husband's words were, "we're throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks." It stuck.
Third thumb up goes to winning, against a Canadian team, on Fourth of July. It was magical to sit and watch fireworks while this game drew to an end (we watched on MLS Live). After having been at the USOC match on Tuesday and having sat through a dreadful first half, but then watching it change in the second half, I feel like maybe we're headed upward. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic. Everyone seems to be clicking. The lineup seems to be, more or less, working out. We're shooting and actually scoring. And we're winning.
Scoring Summary:
COL: Vicente Sánchez (Luis Solignac) 2′
DAL: Kekuta Manneh (Mauro Rosales, Steven Beitashour) 20′
COL: Kevin Doyle (Lucas Pittinari) 56′
So who gets your thumbs down and up this game, or where was I completely off target? Be sure to let me know and come back for the next Rapids game, a Rocky Mountain Cup showdown against RSL on Saturday!

Vet Tom Brennan has told the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board that after receiving $3000 from Mark Kavanagh for bottles of multivitamins, the trainer asked the vet not to sell any of the bottles to other horse trainers.
On the second day of hearings into multiple cobalt charges against Brennan, Kavanagh and trainer Danny O'Brien, the board was told by the former Flemington vet that he was the conduit for receiving cash for bottles of vitamins from another vet, Adam Matthews.
Brennan told the board Kavanagh paid him $3000 cash for the bottles and then told his former vet that he was "now in front" following the payment.
O'Brien is alleged to have paid $3000 into Brennan's bank account in November 2014.
Brennan, who was questioned by his legal representative, Adrian Anderson, told the hearing he had met Matthews for the first time in 2008 and after some timehe joined Brennan in the Flemington practice.
"Matthews came to my house and said that I have some very good vitamins that will help horses to recover from races and it's been very successful with trotting people having won three or four races of late," he said.
Brennan said that he quizzed Matthews about the make-up of the vitamins but Matthews told him that it was "100 per cent".
Brennan said he was so concerned that he made investigations to have the product tested but was told that unless there was a specific additive that he was looking for, it would cost between $10,000 and $100,000 for any test to take place.
He told Kavanagh and O'Brien there were "no guarantees what is in the bottle, but get it tested". Kavanagh has denied paying the money to Brennan, who said that once the money was collected from Kavanagh and O'Brien he then gave Matthews the money.
Brennan described Matthews as a hard-working vet who had assured him the bottles were harmless and contained a multivitamin that had been successfully used in harness racing.
Brennan told the hearing that Matthews had informed him that he had sourced the product from Canada. Brennan said he "was anti-cobalt from the very start".
The former Queensland veterinary surgeon said he informed Dr Brian Stewart, the principal vet of Racing Victoria, that some trainers were trying to buy cobalt.
Brennan said he knew very little about cobalt and had been contacted by some trainers regarding the substance. However, Brennan reiterated he found the figure of between $10,000 and $100,000 a prohibitive amount to spend on such a test.
At that, RAD Board chairman Russell Lewis said to Brennan "that was not the only pebble on the beach. Couldn't you have asked to use RASL [Racing Analytical Services Laboratory]?"
Brennan admitted he didn't consider testing the material with the laboratory but said he was deeply upset at what he had done. He told the hearing he had been in a position of trust and let people down.

Extremely stubborn. They never surrender or stop doing what they've put their minds to. No matter if the goal is near impossible or not they will not stop trying to succeed in doing their goal. Also they are prone to fits of rage.
Also they are one of the most violent of the Zodiac signs and they are almost always in the military. They enjoy being in the midst of battle and often after a battle they have been known to take their enemy's head with them as a trophy. Although other signs say that this is not good they often ignore them much like the would an annoying fly.
Aries are the second strongest of the Zodiac signs with Leo being the first. They are able to bench press far more the a regular human and able to lift more as well. They can lift up to almost 1,000 pounds with ease and are able to crush heads with their bare hands. They are able to withstand much more then a regular human with an Aries recorded as surviving a full two minutes after having his throat slashed.
Elemental Control
Aries are able to control and create flame. This very much suits their Zodiac sign as fire is almost always destructive. They are able to create flames for nearly any part of their body and are able to use it to shoot the flames nearly 500 feet with accuracy. They re also able to manipulate most any open flame but oil fire is recorded as being more difficult to control with a wood fire being the easiest.
Many stereotypes exist for an Aries but the most well known and widespread is that they are vicious bloodthirsty people. This is not necessarily true as Mahatma Gandhi was an Aries and he is often hailed as a great peacemaker. But some of the Aries do live up to their stereotype and pretty much think about nothing but killing.

The Second Pacific War was an armed conflict lasting from 1916 to 1922. The war was between two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Greater Asian Alliance (GAA). The war is sometimes combined with the Third Great European War to form the First Great War, and when it is combined it is refered to as the Pacific Theater.
Chronology of the War
Beginning of the War
The war began with a Japanese attack on Korean, Chinese, and Russian camps around the city of Pyongyang. The Japanese shattered the defenses around the city and soon the GAA was forced to retreat. The Japanese also began to bombard the Russian ports of Vladivostok and Port Arthur. While Port Arthur had nearly no ships docked in its harbors, Vladivostok had about ten ships that were there to refuel. The Japanese destroyed them all, which destroyed about a fourth of the Russian fleet in the Pacific. Because Russia had the strongest fleet out of all the GAA members, the door was opened for Japan to land in Manchuria and northern Korea. Because the Japanese were fighting alone, their plan was to make a quick, devastating strike that would bring the GAA to the negotiating table. The plan was working so far, with the Japanese armies advancing across Manchuria and northern Korea.
However, the plan began to hit snags within the second month of the war. Russia's navy had attacked the Japanese fleets in the Korea Bay, and managed to score an unexpected victory over Japan. Russia also moved a greater forced into the Liaodong Peninsula than what was thought by the Japanese. The war slowed down, and the newly completed Great Northern Railroad in Russia brought a greater and greater number of supplies and soldiers each day. The Japanese army at first overwhelmed the Chinese force at Harbin in Manchuria, but new Russian and Chinese reinforcements forced to leave from the interior to the outskirts of the city. Japanese advances across all the fronts were slowing down.
Japan could still rely on its good allies of the US and Canada. While not in the war, the two nations sent hundreds of ships in convoys over to Asia. The Japanese, using these supplies, managed to slow the GAA advance on the fronts. With the new supplies and ships, the Japanese managed to use a diversionary naval attack on Port Arthur for cover on an amphibious landing at the Korean city at Incheon. Led by Admiral Togo Heihachiro, ships pounded shore batteries near the city, and once these were destroyed, Japanese forced began landing. After several days of brutal the Russians, Chinese, and Koreans and were forced to flee the city in defeat. The capture of Incheon made the Japanese in control of the entire southern Korean peninsula, forcing the GAA to divert more soldiers from Manchuria and into Korea.
After the Japanese victory at Incheon it became apparent to the GAA that the Japanese could not win the war, or rather keep their taken territory, without aid from their North American allies. A conference between GAA and American and Canadian diplomats was held from June 4-17, 1917. The GAA officials demanded that the North Americans stop sending aid to the Japanese or else their convoys would be attacked. The American diplomats then threatened that if the convoy would be attacked, it would be war. Heated talks would continued to be until the 17th, when both sides left, and a feeling of war had settled into the minds of the North Americans.
War Becomes Global
On the 25th of June, three American vessels, the California, Ohio, and Mississippi were attacked and destroyed by Russian ships. The Americans demanded for war, and President Theodore Roosevelt declared war on July 4. Following the destruction the Canadian ships St. Lawrence and Toronto, Canada entered the war as well. American troops, commonly referred to as "doughboys", landed in Kyoto, Japan in late July. The Canadian troops soon landed after them. The North American First Army, under the command of US Commander John "Black Jack" Pershing, were sent to the combat zone in Manchuria in August. The first combat they saw was in the ever-continuing Battle of Harbin, and about 500,000 soldiers died in the first week. In an attempt to stop the opposite side from advancing, the GAA and Allies built trenches going from Vladivostok to Harbin to the Liaodong Peninsula. Movement had slowed, and the war quickly became a stalemate.
No movement really occurred, with both sides staying their trenches, except for when they were ordered out of their trenches and to cross "no-man's land" and attempt to capture the other side's trench. This would never work, which made the war a deadlock. Aviation worked its way into the war, with pilots looking at trench posistions for the other side or fighting enemies who were attempting to do the same thing. The planes also dropped bombs, but none ever really hit their target. Well into 1918 the war was still at a standstill. Negotiations were held between the two sides but nothing could be accomplished, with the GAA demanding that the Allies return captured territory but their demands were refused. The Russians then devised the Aleutian Islands campaign, an attack on Canadian bases in Alaska.
The campaign began with the Russian Second Army under General Alexander Samsonov attacking the island of Attu, and captured the small Canadian base there. Using these supplies and backed up by the First Army under Paul von Rennenkampf, the Russians stepped from island to island until reaching the mainland, and then they began to attack Anchorage. The Canadians stepped up their defense, and a bloody battle occured which ended in September 1918. The Russians were repelled from Alaska, and Canadian and American landings forced them off the Aleutian Islands. The Americans geared up for a counter-attack, this time in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Counterattack into Kamchatka
The Allies pressed for an invasion into Kamchatka for strategical regions. Advancing in the peninsula meant that the Allies could get behind GAA lines, which could help them win battles in the war. Kamchatka was also near several Pacific Great Circle routes, which the Allies could use launch attacks on the eastern coast on Asia. Finally, President Roosevelt felt that a victory was needed to keep the moral of the American people and support for the war high. With millions of casualties, public opinion of the war in the United States and Canada was dropping.
The North American Second Army, under the command of US General Billy Mitchell, landed in Petropavlosk-Kamchatsky, a port city in Kamchatka, in late 1919. A bloody battle ensued, and much of the city was destroyed. The infamous "Battery Hills" were located here. They were a group of hills that had shore line batteries on them that the US Marines needed to destroy in order to allow reinforcements to land. Around 7,000 were killed in the battle, with many more wounded. The battle was a stalemate until the capture of the Battery Hills, allowing US and Canadian reinforcements to pour in, forcing the Russians to retreat.
As the Allied advance moved deeper, the Russian Navy sent a fleet under the command of Stepan Osipovich Makarov to the Sea of Okhotsk, which the Allies needed to control in order to send reinforcements to the advance. A force was also sent to the Kuril Islands, which separated the Okhotsk from the rest of the Pacific Ocean. Bases and batteries were sent there, ready to stop the Allied advance. The Allies moved their fleet their, and one of the most decisive campaigns in the war began. The defenses at the Kurils served their purposed, and the Allied fleet was forced to return. Knowing that control of the Okhostk was vital, General Mitchill ordered the Second Army to land on the islands and moved from island to island and take them over. The Japanese also lent a hand, invading the islands from the south. This was the beginning of a bloody, five- month campaign, and thousands were killed on both sides. Finally, with the capture of Urup in June 1920, the Kuril Islands were in the hands of the Allies.
Allied warships soon got by the Kuril Islands and decisively defeated the Russian Navy at the Battle of th Sea of Okhotsk, opening the door for more supplies to be given to the ground troops. The advance then moved south, heading toward the Amur River. The river would be used to sail down toward the fighting in Manchuria and Korea. Moving through the mountains, the Allies reached the city of Madagan January 1921, and fighting broke out there. Using bombardments from the coast, the city was taken and and the Russians were forced to retreat. Fortunately for the Russians, supplies were easier to send, and soon fortifications were set up near the city. The Allies were unable to break these for the rest of the war.
War in the Pacific
The fighting in the Pacific Ocean began with the formation of the Philippine Red Army in 1918. The Filipinos, who had a hatred of the American occupation which began in 1882, rallied under the command of Crisanto Evangelista, a Communist revolutionary. Violence broke out with raids by the revolutionaries attacking American bases. The Americans then began a crackdown of the rebels, forcing them to flee into the rain forests and jungles of Luzon, where they established their headquarters. The Americans continued to search for the Communists.
In 1919, the Chinese invaded the Philippines, and the fighting forced the Americans to abondon their search. The Chinese supplied to rebels with weapons, vehicles and supplies, and the Communists soon grew in strength and numbers. In September the rebels joined the Chinese in an attack on Manila, the main city and adminstrative center for the Americans. The fighting tore the city apart, and hundreds died and many more were wounded. The fighting in the Philippines was a sideshow to the campaigns in Kamchatka, so the Americans did not spare any more soldiers. Manila fell, and the Americans fled to the city of San Pablo. On October 4, the People's Republic of the Philippines was established, and Evangelista became the "Honorable Chairman". The Chinese and Communists continued their advance.
In early 1920, the Americans were attacked at San Pablo. The fighting there was bloody, and new weapons were introduced to the theater, which were the flamethrower and airplanes. The fighting at the city lasted for a month, and the city was ravaged. The Americans were surrounded in the city, and were brutally slaughtered by the Chinese and Communists. San Pablo fell, and the Americans were forced to flee. American POWs were allegedly killed by the Communists, but in 1944, Honorable Chairman Pedro P. Baguisa denied this. The Philippines were now under the full control of the Communists. The Communists and Chinese worked together to establish peace, and became important partners in the process. In 1922, when the war ended, Chinese soldiers returned home with Communist ideas in the mind.
End of the War
In the summer of 1922, the war was slowing down, with both sides advances pausing. Negotiations were held between the GAA and the Allies, and an armistice was made, and took effect at midnight on December 12, 1922. The war's result was a draw, with neither accomplishing really anything, besides Japanese advances into northern Korea.
In January 1923, the Winnipeg Convention was held in the city of Beaver, Winnipeg, between the GAA and Allies. Two months later in March, the Treaty of Beaver was signed, officially ending the war. Japan would be given northern Korea, and in return for the GAA was territory in Eastern Europe.
The casualties of the war was estimated to be 50,000 KIA, WIA, or MIA. The outbreak of the "Veteran Sickness" added to that, and the returning of soldiers back home spread the disease. The war completely demolished a generation of people, and made the public of Canada and the United States elect leaders from parties who did not support the war, such as Socialist Party Eugene V. Debs for president in the United States. The only nation that was truly defeated was Korea, as all of its territory was taken by Japan. Revolutionaries and guerrillas would continue to give Japan problems. Finally, the Philippines became the first Communist nation in the world, and its comeback during the next decades inspired other nations to change to Communism.

A man that spent six hours a day on his mobile phone has died of a brain tumour that he was believes was caused by radiation exposure. Charismatic Ian Phillips, 44, vowed to beat the disease after he was told he had a growth the size of a lemon in his brain.
But he lost his battle with the disease after spending months campaigning about the potential dangers of mobile phones. The £110,000-a-year health executive with General Electric's healthcare diagnostic imaging, was hit by a blinding headache six years ago.
A tumour the size of a lemon showed up on one of his own MRI scanners at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff in 2010. He then underwent a nine-hour emergency operation but doctors warned him the tumour would come back. Ian from Cardiff, said at the time:
"My ear would be red when I left work at the end of the day. I didn't think what it was doing to my brain. I spent my working life on my mobile – I would have two-hour conference calls some days. I knew straight away it was due to my excessive use of my Blackberry – I was on it all the time.
"I did a lot of research and the number of brain tumours is going up. I'm really concerned about children using mobiles – their skulls are softer and radiation from these devices can reach their brains more easily."
Research carried out at the University Bordeaux in France discovered an increased risk of brain tumours in people who use their mobiles for more than 15 hours a month, Mirror.co.uk reports.

The video is sad and moving. It shows a dog painstakingly burying the body of a dead puppy. It pushes sand over the lifeless body of the puppy till it is buried completely.
Though the circumstances of the video are unclear, the dog's attempt to preserve the pup's bone is rather astonishing.
Animals do have feelings. They are happy, excited, sad, they get angry, they mourn, the brood. The moving video just proves that!

Skip to comments.Philippines boosts defense ties to counter China on sea disputes
Posted on 06/27/2013 7:05:30 PM PDT by TexGrill
MANILA, Philippines The Philippines is boosting military ties with the United States and Japan as it seeks to counter Chinas increased presence in disputed waters in the fish and gas-rich South China Sea. President Benigno Aquinos government is crafting an agreement with the US giving its military access to Subic Bay, Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said at a briefing in Manila Thursday. Gazmin and Itsunori Onodera, his Japanese counterpart, also agreed at a meeting Thursday to boost defense cooperation, Japans Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The deals come amid tensions in the waters, which are beset by competing territorial claims from countries including the Philippines, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. Countries have struggled to agree on rules for operating in the seas, raising the risk of confrontation as Chinas military strength grows. Vietnam and the Philippines have rejected Chinas claims in the waters as a basis for joint development of oil and gas reserves. Speaking at a briefing Thursday, China Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying called on the Philippines to work with other countries in the region and play a positive role in regional stability. If and when there is an agreement on access, there will be equipment coming in from the US, Gazmin said, without giving further detail. Military bases wont be built in Subic, the former site of an American naval base, and the deal wont violate the Philippine constitution, he said. Subic Bay is the site of a former US naval base in Zambales province north of Manila, which includes the Scarborough Shoal area disputed with China.

The Philippines are growing their economy. Their biggest mistake was pushing us out at Subic Bay. Now the PRC is starting to make their move in the So. China Sea and the US is OTL with Obama/Kerry/Hagel running the show.
Olongapo and Subic are resorts now, theme parks and everything. Not the kind of theme park I knew in the 80s. My wife is a nurse from PI, we met in the Persian Gulf. She agrees with me, the PI Senators have bashed us for years, the women know if they have sex with an American serviceman they can scream rape and make big bucks. Why we are going back in there to pull their a$$ out of the fire is beyond me. They are not our allies in Asia, they blame us for their problems as often as Obama blames Bush.
That sounds like the South Koreans too.

Fashion Designer Paola Hernandez's Brooklyn Showroom
A peek inside the Mexican creative's philosophy-driven studio and store, and a brand new collection
Over a year after launching a flagship store in Mexico City, fashion designer Paola Hernandez has unveiled a showroom at the crux of Brooklyn's north and south Williamsburg neighborhoods. Aesthetically minimal and arranged for the maximum impact of her clothing and accessory designs, the space offers an opportunity for buyers to get up close with Hernandez's philosophically inspired works. Born in Mexico City and based in Brooklyn, Hernandez began as a philosophy student, but would shift to fashion at Central St Martins in London before completing studies in shoe design at ARS Sutoria in Milan. It's that varied, thoughtful background that infuses her collections with an air of something truly unique.
After extensive time abroad, and a return home to live and work in Mexico, Hernandez ultimately headed north. She has been designing now for seven years, four of those from her base in NYC. She moved into the new space in October this year, which functions as both a storefront and studio space, and where she can often be found using the large central table to make patterns or take measurements. But for production, Hernandez utilizes her native country and manufactures her clothing and shoes in Mexico. "I wanted this brand to be the whole world," she shares with CH, "and that's why I moved to New York."
"Before I studied fashion I studied philosophy, and more than just my studies, I feel that my personal search has been philosophical in general. It was always based on the question of 'What's my purpose?' I realized that my purpose has to do with creation and that I wanted to create a type of expression that's more subtle—where people can make their own interpretations," she observes. It led to an intellectual pursuit of art and often, extensive reading. "I feel like art can have a more subtle way of expressing ideas, where it leaves space open for interpretations. "Even after you have finished your idea, it's always still expressing itself because it depends on how people decide to wear it, or style it. One same piece that I thought of can look so different, even in the same person's closet, as opposed to at one event or another. It's always transforming."
With this in mind, each season Hernandez begins with a concept. "I feel like information comes to me, more than I search for it. As information comes in, I realize my theme. I had one season when the concept was about how to find a state of peace within ourselves. I was reading a book that talked on meditation. They called the desired state a blue pearl. I wanted my collection to be about achieving that state." The theme informed everything from her color selection and the balance of light and shadows, to the specific stitching employed throughout.
"The idea for my spring collection, where I used Michael's painting [Hernandez's husband, fine artist Michael Kagan] was about how when you open a door a new world opens with it. I saw Michael's painting at his show. It was a cockpit. I thought this is the perfect example of what you need to get another world," she continues. Hernandez made a knitted interpretation of it, her first foray into prints—because she left like the theme required her to explore her offerings. In transforming an aesthetic source, her brand grew.
Hernandez believes her ideal consumers are creative people, because of a belief in a sense of connection. She loves to talk with those who purchase her clothes and share ideas. But the core message of her brand is best conveyed in her logo. "It's two hearts representing duality. That's reality to me: duality. But in the center, they form a third heart representing unity. It's a search for unity in duality. This isn't meditation on a mountain. This is here. This is pressing. Consciousness flows within a very organic way." And whether it's her new store, or her exciting designs, there is a meditative quality and certainly a nice flow.

Only 15 months have passed since what many fans remember as "CART" ceased to exist, but it looks like there's already an unofficial reunion.
It's the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, where the featured stars will be the drivers, teams, sponsors and manufacturers that dominated CART-sanctioned Indy-style racing during the '80s and '90s, racing on a street course inaugurated by CART in 2003 in an event organized and promoted by former CART luminaries.
The only difference most St. Petersburg locals might notice is louder, normally aspirated racecars (CART used turbo powerplants), though if they look closely they'll see the words "Indy Racing League" prominently featured on every firesuit and uniform, showing that IRL founder Tony George is the new boss in town.
Fittingly, this "CART reunion" will take place in a cosmopolitan urban setting featuring a downtown street course. And that's what makes this race so significant for George's open-wheel series: It's the IRL's road-racing debut after 105 consecutive events staged on ovals. In the IndyCar Series' 10th season, after 85,724 consecutive left turns, King George finally said, "Turn right!"
And the people responded with great joy.
Within the IndyCar Series paddock, at least, everyone, with the possible exceptions of those having the last name 'Foyt,' is thrilled that the IndyCar Series has embraced road and street racing.
With this weekend's Honda GP centered at the heart of downtown St. Pete instead of at a dusty oval 20 or 40 miles out of town, parties and corporate functions are scattered throughout the weekend, all within convenient walking distance of the track and hotels. Honda and Red Bull both have large-scale entertainment plans. "Our hospitality area will be overflowing on Sunday," a Rahal Letterman Racing source said.
But then look at who is the driving force behind the revived St. Pete race, which springs back to life after a one-year absence with the potential of growing into a marquee event for the IndyCar Series. Andretti Green Promotions is co-owned by open-wheel legend Michael Andretti (who made five IRL race starts near the end of his career, but had 42 CART race wins that defined his legacy) and Barry Green, a CART team owner from 1994-2002 most famous for coming out on the winning (1995) and losing (2002) side of controversial Indianapolis 500 finishes.
"Andretti Green Promotions is thrilled with the opportunity that lies ahead in St. Petersburg," Green said. "It's a terrific venue and has all the elements necessary to create a successful event for the city, the fans, the competitors, a national television audience and the Indy Racing League."
The man who readied the 1.8-mile street/airport course for racing is Kirk Russell, who served as CART's chief steward and rule writer from 1979 to 2001. In 2003, CART drivers said the St. Pete track was one of the best street courses in America, and with some walls pulled back and FIA-style curbing now installed at Turns 1 and 10, it should be even better.
"Barry said he hopes to make it the Long Beach of the east," Russell said. "It's a phenomenal layout with a nice flow to it and some real challenging corners. It's as nice as anything I have ever seen. And since a third of the track is bordered by the harbor, we're putting in temporary docks so big boats will be able to pull into the south marina and watch."
They're hoping to replicate the success of the 2003 St. Petersburg race, which was organized by the same group that runs the Long Beach GP and staged in February as the CART season opener. Former CART CEO Chris Pook said that race-day crowd was 35,000.
"We hit a home run -- a grand slam home run!" was St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker's assessment of the 2003 event, though the race itself wasn't particularly notable. Paul Tracy won it by 12.1 seconds over Michel Jourdain Jr., with Bruno Junqueira third.
If anything, St. Pete 2003 is mainly remembered for the remarkable American debut of Sebastien Bourdais, who claimed pole position and sprinted to a 17-second lead in the first 30 laps before a rookie mistake relegated the Frenchman to an unrepresentative 11th-place finish.
Local media came away from the event with a favorable impression. "The Bay area's first big-league Indy-style race brought out the best in temporary street course racing: a festive atmosphere, an enthusiastic crowd, wonderful-sounding engines and interesting sights," said the Tampa Tribune. "[But] it also brought out the worst: a dull race ..."
The IndyCar Series, accustomed to frenetic split-second finishes in its full-throttle oval races, is certainly hoping its road racing kickoff produces a closer and more exciting race than the one CART put on in 2003. It's bound to, simply because there is so much that can go haywire in terms of drivers who haven't turned right in years and cars that have never been subjected to the demands of 100 laps around a bumpy street course.
The St. Pete race also is a test for the IndyCar Series and for American open-wheel racing in general. As NASCAR becomes increasingly synonymous with oval racing in America, will the IndyCar Series attract more fans to St. Pete and its two additional road races later this year than it generally has to its many disappointingly attended events at ovals?
And if so, will that subsequently lead to oval venues being dropped from the IndyCar calendar, to be replaced by more road and street races that so many series drivers, sponsors and manufacturers crave?
By Sunday evening, we'll start to have some answers. It promises to be an interesting weekend ... and a heck of a street party.

EMPLOYERS are allowing alcohol-dependent workers to languish until they quit or get fired, and should do more to help them instead, the state's peak drug body says.
The call comes as State Government figures show close to 4 per cent of South Australians have turned up to work drunk in the past year.
A new position paper from the South Australian Network of Drug and Alcohol Services argues some workplaces still stigmatise and "punish" substance misuse rather than supporting employees and running effective education and prevention programs.
The report says alcohol and drug dependencies are medical conditions that should be considered alongside other workplace issues such as sleep problems and grief over family deaths.
"Workplaces are often not skilled in identifying the signs of (substance abuse) issues or confident around how to manage or support people," it says.
SANDAS executive officer Andris Banders said problem drinkers needed specialist treatment, not moral judgment and were less likely to seek help in workplaces that lacked employee engagement programs.
Their performance then deteriorated to the point where there was "no way out but to leave or to be sacked".
Mr Banders pointed to the Construction and Other Industries Drugs and Alcohol Program, funded by the Building Industry Redundancy Scheme Trust, as a model.
The program's education officer Jack Owens said its focus on ongoing education, peer support and peer intervention programs were vital in the building trade, where safety was paramount and long hours and stress produced a higher than average suicide rate.
"If someone's at the point where they can't get through the day straight, and then they lose their job, then we could be adding to that statistic," he said.
Mr Banders acknowledged employers had made "some improvement" over the past five years and the report backs the "growing practice" of companies expanding employee assistance programs to cover alcohol and drug issues.
"There must be social and policy change. The workplace can be a significant contributor to that change," the report says.
It says there are significant productivity gains to be made from helping experienced workers with alcohol problems, rather than replacing them with workers who need full training.
About 6 per cent of workplace fatalities in SA are alcohol-related.
A Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia spokeswoman said employers were legally obliged to create a safe working environment, should promote responsible alcohol consumption and implement workplace alcohol policies and employee assistance programs.
