Ghost, G-H-O-S-T, Ghost by Daithi
The boys hopped the fence, leaving their bikes hidden behind some mulberry bushes. Moments later the boys were wrapped in the same mist that blanked the colonial-era headstones of the cemetery.
"What time is it, Tommy?" asked Ryan.
Tommy said, "It's three minutes until midnight. We have to hurry," then Tommy gave Patrick, a small framed boy, a quick shove and said, "You scared, wuss?"
Patrick smiled and said, "You'll see." The truth was that even though Patrick was the smallest of the three boys he was the only one that wasn't scared. If they succeeded in summoning the ghost he knew exactly what to do. His departed Irish grandmother had told him the secret.
The boys hurried to the center of the cemetery and quickly found the mausoleum that contained the family remains of Capt. Mathers.
"I have to hand it to you, Tommy. Picking an old slave-trader's grave was pretty smart," said Patrick.
"Yeah, if anyone's soul is rotting in Hell it's going to be his," said Ryan.
Tommy smiled at their praise as he pulled out the parchment with the pentagram drawn on it. He also pulled out the razorblades, handing a blade to each of the other boys. As midnight made its arrival the boys sliced their fingers and smeared blood on the pentagram. Then they slid the bloody paper under the mausoleum door and began to chant, "Rise from the grave and serve us. Rise from the grave and serve us. Rise from the gra…"
Something banged hard against the inside of the mausoleum door. Then the wailing began. It was an awful sound of despair and horror that physically hurt as it passed through the boys' bodies.
Tommy and Ryan turned and fled, but Patrick held his ground. Patrick knew what to do. His beloved grandmother had told him the secret.
The Ghost passed through the doors of the crypt and advanced upon Patrick, but still he did not run. When the ghost reached out and wrapped its ethereal fingers around Patrick's throat it was too late to run. Patrick didn't even have time to scream as he heard the sound of his soul being ripped from the confines of his body. When the deed was done the ghost tossed Patrick's soul aside and began pursuing the other two boys. Patrick's soul watched his lifeless body crumple to the darkened ground.
After the light appeared, and Patrick had walked through it, he was met on the other side by his grandmother.
"Mammo, I did what you said. I held my ground and didn't run. You said if I held my ground and didn't run that it couldn't hurt me."
In her lilting Irish brogue Patrick's grandmother said, "Oh, Padraig, you always were a wee bit daft. When visit'n me farm I told you to hold your ground, and not be afraid, if you were confronted by goats, G-O-A-T-S, goats."

More of a vignette... hope that's ok.
Rogozhin dreams
I watched in reverie as my blood slowly pooled on the cobble-stone road.
It gleamed a most beautiful crimson under the noon sun. No ruby could
ever compare. For rubies gleam only of age; but blood gleams wholly
of life.
Looking up one last time, I saw her flushed, still delicate visage beset by
a golden halo; and within her hands the dagger that brought forth the
gentle flood that now whispered my secrets to the world, from upon the
crimsoned blocks of the cobble-stone road.

My first attempt at this flash fiction. Hope it's ok, oh and I am on a narrow boat trip for my birthday this weekend..............
I am still not sure exactly what I saw. Even after 15 years that day still haunts me. I can remember it like it was yesterday.
It was June and it was raining. Not hard but that sort of rain that makes you really wet. Wet all the way through to the bone. It wasn't particularly warm for the time of year but it wasn't cold. Pretty much a standard British summer. My girlfriend has given me a trip on a barge for a few days as my 50th birthday present. So there we were in the summer rain, ambling along the Basingstoke canal in a 40 foot narrow boat. The tea had been hot and sweet and replenished on a regular basis and I was really quite at peace with her, myself and the world.
And that's when I saw it.
At first I thought someone had just dumped some rubbish into the canal, then as we got closer I saw it was an animal of some kind. Maybe a deer had fallen in to the water and had not been able to get itself out. But wasn't that a bit large for a deer. More like the size and shape of a man?
The police arrived very promptly. They took us to one side and questioned us. Made sure that they had all the details we could provide noted down in little leather bound notebooks. It all seemed sort of futile compared to the body they had pulled from the canal. That was a man whose life had been snuffed out. I never was good with death, not since I lost my faith in the church.
They asked me if I knew who it was. I couldn't really remember the man's face even though we had pushed him to the side of the canal and check to see if there was any sign of life. I just remember looking at my girlfriend as she quietly cried and thinking that I hoped I didn't look as pale as she did.
They asked me to look at the body again, to see if I could identify it. I looked, but although I felt some hint of recognition, I couldn't place it, just a man in his late sixties, no one special. It's funny the things you remember, he had the same watch as me, a 40th birthday present from my girlfriend. And a wedding ring on his right ring finger, just as I wear my father's.
Fifteen years is a long time yet every time I look in that mirror I recognise that dead man's face just a little bit more. Just a little bit too much. I really don't want to go on another narrow boat trip this weekend.

I have never tried flash fiction. It has also been a long time since I have put words to paper, or page, for anyone other than myself to read. 500 on the dot I believe.
The murky lamp light is made even hazier by the vast amount of dust floating inside the command tent. All seven of the War Chief's captains stand hunched over the map table on three sides. Their Chief standing alone on the fourth. This unusually hot spring day has all seven captains squirming inside their armour. The sound of their armour impacting as they squirm adds a most tiresome sound. Why is it then that their Chief stands there like a statue given speech. Does this heat, sweat and dust not bother him?
All these things come to mind as I sit on my crate. These things and many more. I sit on my raised crate, five paces back and three to the side of the Chief. I am his Harkener! It is my task to sit and to listen. To listen and remember. To remember and to make it known. I have been here, behind and to the side of the Chief, for many years and have yet to have reason to make known anything that I have remember. This Chief is not one who would repeat his errors or listen to an outsiders advice. He leaves me to listen, with no hope of ever being of use. I have come to fear that the day to speak creeps towards me out of this haze that is my life. The day that I shall remember, that I shall have to make it known, that I will have forgotten how to speak. This is my fear.
The day I have long feared has come at last. My imagination made much of this day.
Chief, it is I the Harkener! I have listened, I have remembered, I must make it known The words spill from my mouth before my thoughts have enlightened me of the reason.
Captain McKay, I want you too continue to move your mounted archers..... I almost shudder as the Chief stops mid sentence, finally coming to grip with my strangers voice. He turns his gaze upon me. His cold grey eyes attempt to devour my resolve. You would council us Harkener? If I were to but open my mouth I would taste his contempt for me.
I have listened, I have remembered, I will make it known. He will hear the old words and he will obey his oaths. It is strange to have spoken the words aloud. I have not even thought this phrase in the last thirteen years that I have been Harkener to the War Chief of the Endless Plains. Not since my training in the Shallow Pass. I remember well, my training and that which I must now speak. Odd that as a Harkener it is my memories that now keep me silent when I should be speaking. Taking four long, confident strides, I take my place at the War Chiefs side.

i went over by 37 words - edited down from an extra 108.
The Ball
It was hot and stuffy, as such affairs usually are. The ballroom was lit with thousands of twinkling candles that sent flickering light around the room, leaving the far corners somewhat darker. The dance floor was crowded with couples, the women's long dresses moving as each couple twirled to the waltz that was playing. Through the door you could see several young bucks as they gambled rather than find themselves forced to dance with a wallflower. The latest gossip could be heard everywhere, about the murders of several of England's most scandalous rakes.
As always, Marcus had arrived late. It wouldn't do to miss such an event altogether - he had his social status to think of, after all. And although he had no plans for a permanent liason or friendship with these lights of the ton, Marcus was always interested in checking out the newcomers and young innocents just out of the schoolroom. He felt that both groups were his natural prey, the young or inexperienced women to seduce and the young men and their foolish older counterparts to fleece at the gaming tables.
Marcus had just been announced and was pushing through the hot, crowded room toward the refreshments when a woman he hadn't seen before caught his eye.
Even at a distance, she stood out. She was tall and slender, beautiful of course, and her pale hair catching the light of the candles so that it almost seemed to glow. She moved with such grace as must catch the eye of every man - and yes, even every woman - as she danced in the embrace of young Fitzhugh. And there was something about her that Marcus couldn't quite seem to put into words. She seemed almost cold. A challenge. No, a conquest. Marcus found himself moving toward the dance floor.
He found someone willing to introduce them. Her name was Angela and when she danced with him, she was as graceful and as beautiful as he had imagined. Marcus wanted to kiss her, then to force her to comply with his wishes, to crush her confidence and feel her underneath him. To his surprise, she was the one who suggested they meet outside, in an alley near the back of their host's townhouse.
Marcus was intrigued. He had ruined many a young lady, and not one of them had been willing. With a complete lack of manners, he took leave of his host and hostess only minutes after arriving, and found himself in the alley.
And she was there, pale hair and skin, glowing in all white. Without a word, he pushed her back against the wall, forced his mouth down on hers, and as he forced her lips apart he felt a small pain in his own lower lip. When he pulled back to look at his conquest, she pushed him backwards. Her strength was amazing for a woman or even for a man. Her eyes seemed much darker than they had in the ballroom. As he tried to push himself upright again, she stood over him, her hands holding him in place. As she brought her mouth to his throat, his last thought was that in the dim light it almost seemed as if she had fangs...

Preparations are underway for the third and final presidential debate before Election Day.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will debate Wednesday evening at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Both candidates will be looking to make a game-changing final impression with polls being so close in three swinging states.
Despite all the activity on campus, UNLV Sr. Vice Provost Carl Reiber told News4Jax Tuesday that students were carrying on with their normal activities
"We have not canceled classes on campus, so there are classes that are going on. A lot of faculty have chosen to do alternate assignments for their students. Many of those assignments have to do with debate-related activities, topics, discussion groups. But a lot of students are on campus, they want to be a part of what's going on, a part of the action," Reiber said.
News4Jax spoke with Clinton's campaign manager about their focus heading into the debate.
Robby Mook, Clinton for America campaign manager, said they're focusing on key areas -- and Florida is one of them.
Mook said Wednesday's debate is huge a opportunity for both sides in what he calls the biggest election in history.
"Unfortunately, the last two debates Donald Trump has come swinging lot of mud. He said a lot of things that aren't true, so she's had to spend some time fact-checking. We don't know which Donald Trump is going to show up. He is famously erratic and temperamental. So that's up to him what he comes to do but Secretary Clinton is going there to talk about what she wants to do to actually help people and make a difference in their lives," Mook said.
As for Trump, he said he wants to "drain the swamp" in Washington, D.C.
While speaking to supporters in Colorado Tuesday, Trump proposed reforms to help end what he calls the failures on Capitol Hill.
"If I'm elected president, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress," Trump said.
The debate starts at 9 p.m. Wednesday and will be aired live on Channel 4 and streamed on News4Jax.com.

It's a test that will check your IQ.
Suppose you have one 11 minute hourglass and one 13 minute hourglass.
Can you measure exactly fifteen minutes using them ?
For Solution : Click Here
This Blog is a collection of brain teasers, puzzles (maths,fun,brain etc), riddles,Questions, Quiz.
Fill the 11, pour it into the 13. Refill the 11, and then pour the 11 into the 13 until it's full. There is now 9 left in the 11; empty the 13 and pour the remaining 9 back into the 13. Fill the 11 once again and pour it to fill the 13. You will have 4 left in the 11, and then you place that 4 into the 13 and fill up the 11. 11+4=15ReplyDelete
Fill the 11 minute one, then divide the 13 minute one into 13 imaginary parts and fill 2 of the 13 parts.ReplyDelete
start 11 and 13 in the same time. when the 11 finish place it reverse till the 13 ends.so that the bottom of the 11 have two minute.then just reverse the 11 . so13+2 equels 15ReplyDelete
reverse both. when 11 finishes, 2 remains in 13. reverse them both again, until the 2 in 13 finishes. then reverse the 11 one again, since it has 2. 11 + 2 + 2 = 15ReplyDelete
Start both. When 11 finishes, flip it. When 13 finished, flip 11 again. When 11 ends it's 15 minutesReplyDelete
Best answer.Delete
Define "Best" please. This one requires more flips which means you get less accuracy. Would you mind explaining your input Scott and Anonymous? Thanks.Delete
No need to flip 11 twice. We flip the 11 and 13 simultaneously. As soon as the 11 is done, there are 2 minutes remaining on the 13. So we start our time at that point, flip the 13 over again, and when the 13 is done, you have your 15 minutes. I think.ReplyDelete
I think this is the best answer. There are less lips which mean you get more accuracy that way.Delete
A teacher was having trouble getting her students to learn their facts, but she noticed that her students often played the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors". She made a game with similar rules in order to encourage the students to learn their facts.
The class would be divided into three teams: Rock, Paper and Scissors. The teacher would ask the students a question and the class would raise their hands if they knew the answer. If the first person to answer the question correctly is in the Rock team, he or she would choose one player from the Scissors team to be eliminated. Similarly, if a player from the Scissors team was first to answer the question, then he or she would eliminate a member from the Paper team. Lastly, if a player from the Paper team was first to answer correctly, he or she would eliminate a member from the Rock team.
The teacher would then continue asking questions until only one team still has members. That team would be declared the winner and all its members would win a small chocolate.
However, as soon as she explained the rules to the class, one particularly smart student immediately found a large flaw that made the game unplayable. Can you do the same?
If your team answers the most questions correctly, then the team who is beating your opponents has been eliminated. Therefore, you will eventually lose.
For example, if the rock team completely eliminates the scissors team, then only paper is left, and the paper team will slowly win by eliminating all of the rocks. The rock team would find it impossible to win.
Therefore, the best strategy is to answer no questions hoping your nemesis team is eliminated first. If no students answer questions, the game cannot progress.
Fill 13 first, pour into 11, 2 left in 13. Throw 11. Poor the remaining of 13 into 11. 11 contain 2. Fill 13 completely. 2+13=15

What 'immorality' are you talking about?<quoted text>
Do you have a comprehension problem? I cannot, and will not respect immorality. Done, over, ill wait out the four years till he's gone. Got it now? Good grief you're thick. He is immoral due to his abortion stance, therefore cannot be MY potus. I am free to put him on ignore, and don't give two shits what a wiccan tells me I have to accept. In case you're actually stupid enough to think I don't understand that he's legally the potus, I do, but if anyone asked me anything about him, I'd say I have no idea, I reject him, and don't see or hear anything he says or does. It has nothing to do with who won the election, I've had him on ignore for the past four years as well. So, I will continue. I sure hope you get it now, because I'm not explaining it again.
Stay the course, Republicans
There are 495 comments on the New York Daily News story from Nov 8, 2012, titled Stay the course, Republicans. In it, New York Daily News reports that:
They lose and immediately the chorus begins. Republicans must change or die. A rump party of white America, it must adapt to evolving demographics or forever be the minority.

Duh huh, abortion is immoral and he's a proabort. Did you seriously not know this is an abortion forum? Wow!
#459 Nov 24, 2012
Earth to Kathwynn: the federal level isn't where the real action is. It's the states where the pro-life laws are burgeoning, to the great consternation of pro-abort leaders. And Republican governors and legislators did mighty well in the 2012 elections, thank you.
[Politico] "Standing in stark contrast to the outcome of the presidential and U.S. Senate races, Republicans strengthened their control of state capitols on Nov. 6. The GOP went into 2012 with unified control of the governors mansions and legislatures in 24 states and will come out with full political control of 25 states. Democrats will head into 2013 with a disadvantage at the state level, having total control of just 13 states."
"In 2012, at least 60 new life-affirming laws, including at least 38 measures related to abortion, were enacted. Additionally, 16 pro-life state resolutions were adopted. This follows on the heels of 2011, when, 47 states considered more than 460 measures related to abortion, the overwhelming majority of which were pro-life. More than 70 of these life-affirming, abortion-related measures were enacted.
"These include prohibitions on government funding of or insurance coverage for abortion, legislation or resolutions related to pregnancy care centers, informed consent and parental involvement legislation, ultrasound requirements, restrictions on or regulation of abortion-inducing drugs and telemed abortions, and abortion clinic regulations."
The Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood's research arm, keeps track of the rapidly growing list of new pro-life laws: http://www.guttmacher.org/statecenter/updates...

Instead of dancing around with your little legislation accomplishments why not openly admit that your goal is to make abortion and contraception entirely illegal in all cases? Why not be open, honest and direct? AND while you are at it why not admit that these goals are paramount to your male phallic worshipping religious beliefs?
Are you embarrassed to admit either of the above?

Here we go:
Dear Republicans:
Thank you for your class warfare, for your bull-headedness on taxes, your contempt for the poor and middle-class, your racism, your bigotry, your cluelessness about gender politics, your sneering hostility toward immigrants and minorities.On this Thanksgiving Day, a personal request: Please don't change.
Please keep digging in your heels about not raising taxes on the top one percent even if it means sending the country into a second recession, so that the rest of us can see, once and for all, who your masters are, whose interests you really serve.
Please keep talking endlessly about the wealth-makers and the "small business owners," and never breathe a word about the waitress mom who works long hours at the small restaurant, the clerk who labors at the small insurance company, the teachers who work heroically in crumbling school buildings, the workers who toil in factories whose owners constantly threaten to take their business overseas. Keep doing this until people see, as they did in this month's election, that your loyalties are not with the workers who fuel our economy.
While you're at it, please keep pissing off women by talking about them in infantilizing terms, by not trusting them to make mature, adult, informed choices about their own bodies, by expanding your 40-year-old war against abortion into a war against contraception. Keep unleashing people like Akin and Mourdock onto the people, who are already scratching their heads, wondering if they have suddenly woken up in the 1950s -- in Russia.
Keep trying to convince us that a Republican who believes that abortion should only be legal in cases of saving the life of the mother or in cases of rape and incest, is a progressive Republican. That position will put you only slightly to the left of the Taliban.
Oh, and please don't forget to insult immigrants every chance you get by referring to them as "illegals," and talks of rounding them all up and self-deportation. Doing so will ensure that you stay out of power for at least another generation.
And remember, it is your birthright and solemn obligation to shun the reality-based universe and continue to exist in the world of your own making. In this world, unicorns exist and human beings and dinosaurs lived side-by-side and global warming is a hoax or a left-wing, anti-American plot, and the president is a Marxist Muslim who was born in Kenya and traipses around the world constantly apologizing for America, until foreign leaders plug their ears and please tell him to take his apologizing-for-America ways home.
And that's the polite version. In the more sinister version, the president is the anti-Christ or the Manchurian candidate, planted in the White House to destroy American from within.(I'm guessing he was dropped into the White House by those black U.N. helicopters that have haunted so many a Republican nightmare.)

Now, to quote Marco Rubio, the new Great Brown Hope of the Republican Party, "I am not a scientist." Still and all, I do believe in science. It's sort of like, I'm not a doctor but I do believe that T.B. exists. Because people who are doctors, have told me so. So I'm willing to stick my neck out and say, I believe global warming is real and that finding alternatives to fossil fuels seems like a pretty prudent and rational thing to do.
But rationality is of course, a four-letter word in certain circles. And so, I beg you, please continue your campaign against President Obama. Please don't be embarrassed when your presidential candidate courts the blessings of that old, adorable mop-top, Donald Trump. Be brazen enough that your toes don't automatically curl with embarrassment every time the Donald opens his mouth. Keep referring to the president as a wild-eyed radical, a socialist, a Muslim, an atheist. And for heaven's sake, don't acknowledge the contradictions inherent in each one of these slurs.
Blithely ignore the fact that the rest of us see a mild-mannered, earnestly decent man who at times seems to be the only American left standing who still believes in bipartisanship. Or that we see nobility and grace in the manner in which he disregards racist insinuations; that this a man who is never mean-spirited or angry, who seems more interested in policy rather than posturing, a man who has run a mostly no-nonsense, scandal-free administration, a leader who has kept more of his campaign promises then any president in recent history. Unlike you, we see a man who treats his wife as his equal, whose affection and love for his children seems heartwarmingly genuine, who doesn't suffer from any of the dysfunctions and neediness that have marked so many of our leaders. Above all, we see a man who does not cause us to wince each time he says the word "nuclear."
You see, we do not think our president is leading us into permanent decline, or heading a nation of losers and takers. We refuse to disparage our fellow citizens who are on disability or Social Security or food stamps or Medicare or veterans benefits, as somehow sucking the country's coffers dry. We prefer to reserve those labels for the corporate raiders and bankers and unscrupulous mortgage lenders, who actually brought our country to the point of financial collapse.
On this Thanksgiving Day, I am so grateful that we can count on you to learn exactly the wrong lessons from your recent election debacle. I hope that you will continue down the path that you are on for a long time to come.
Oh, I know that this will not last forever. I know that at some point simple self-preservation will kick in and you will have to tackle the illegal immigration problem in a humane, civilized way that is worthy of the greatness of this country. I know the day will come when you will pretend that you were always on the side of marriage equity, that you always knew that discrimination against gay Americans was morally wrong. After all, it is very hard today to find a Southerner who would argue against the civil rights movement, or who would brag of his or her role in disenfranchising fellow citizens. This is the trouble with the arc of the moral universe -- it has this inconvenient way of bending towards justice.
Speaking of disenfranchising fellow citizens. Ahem. Please start raising money immediately from your billionaire supporters so that you can run more billboards in 2016 in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, reminding them that voter fraud is a felony. It was such a wonderfully visual reminder that the only way you can win national elections is by suppressing the turnout. Not to mention how much those billboards and other efforts by you pissed off black citizens, who were reminded anew of how precious their right to vote was -- and how much their elders had sacrificed to earn it.

This is not an abortion forum per se. It is a forum about the premise that Republicans should stay the course, as in not stray from its losing course. It is a forum about the advisability of remaining bull-headed.
Some tortured souls are so bull-headed that theyre pushing for secession from the United States:If I cant have everything my way, Ill just pick up my marbles and leave.

Unification Between Canada and USA, is it possible?
Canada and the USA are two big countries adjacent to each other in North America. There are many similarities between Canada and the USA.
Both countries have the same colonial history.
Both countries have the same culture and the same language.
Both countries have the same political system.
Both countries have the same economic system.
Both countries have the same highly developed and industrialized economy.
Both countries have the same lifestyle.
Both countries are nations composed of descendants of immigrants.
Both countries are closely linked with each other in economy.
Since there are so many similarities between Canada and the USA, the two countries are adjacent in geography and are so integrated in economy, is it possible for Canada and the USA to be unified into one country?
The idea of unification sounds crazy and unrealistic. Well, a book has been published to explore the possibility of unification between Canada and the USA.
Book title is REDRAWING WORLD MAP.
Book subtitle is EXPLORATION OF UNIFICATION BETWEEN COUNTRIES.
This book is published by a publishing house called PublishAmerica.
Search this title in Barnes and Noble, Amazon, PublishAmerica, Google, we can find this book.
Book introduction can be found in facebook : charles.zhang.7965
In addition to
unification between Canada and the USA, this book also explores
unification between Mexico and its two small southern neighbors,
unification between Chile and Argentina,
unification between France and the two tiny states along its southern border,
unification between South Africa and Lesotho, and
unification between a few pairs of other small countries.

Im certainly smart enough to recognize that you have actually explained nothing, as you stated that you had intended. You have merely reasserted your mistaken opinion that this is an abortion forum.
I respect your belief in abortion being immoral. I personally consider a lot of things that are legal to be immoral and a lot of things that are illegal to be moral. However, I understand that it is unreasonable to expect everyone, including the President, to agree with all of my opinions.
Theres a lot to be said for tolerance.

Bigger is not necessarily better.
Canada and the U.S. do not have all interests in common.
There has been a longstanding movement in Quebec to secede from Canada.
Both Mexico and Guatemala have major crime and poverty issues and joining them would likely result in even greater problems.

Notice neither you nor I got a reply to my question. Why am I not surprised? I loathe the pathetic posting of drivel and then the failure to back it (because the position is untenable). Never mind the facts, as long as the bigotry and lies shine through.

No, your view is that abortion is immoral. Fine, don't have one, no one is forcing you. But please give us all a break by NOT posting your personal morality as fact. It isn't. No such thing as "proabort" btw, the term is pro-choice. No one I know, or have ever posted with claims to be pro-abortion. Personally, I am not wild about it, but it isn't my body, my uterus or my decision. And you accuse others of being stupid?

Pierrot le Fou | 1965
After abandoning his wife and infant daughter for the new babysitter, a woman he'd loved and lost several years earlier, an errant husband embarks on a haphazard road to tragedy.
Jump to
Rome-Paris Films
After abandoning his wife at a Parisian party, jaded Ferdinand flees his bourgeois existence with his babysitter and ex-lover, Marianne. Running off to the south of France, the couple becomes an existential Bonnie and Clyde, battling gun-runners, gas station attendants and American tourists as they come face to face with their own roles as characters in a pop-cultural landscape.

i said the words "te amo" to someone i am not really sure i love, i know i care for her so much, and i honestly do love her, but when she starts to speak about putting money together on a bank, having kids, getting married.. its hard to not feel nervous..
i am 28yo and she is 23yo, we have been together for about 10 months, and i know her for a year or so..
should i feel bad for this? i feel that she is more in love than i do?
i feel awful, all she talks about is when we grow older and im feeling all weird.. please help, i think im hurting this person so much and im scared.
Most Helpful Girl
Yes. And if you believe that your feelings will never catch up to hers you should let her go. What is the point of wasting each others time? She can move on and find what she is looking for and so can you. I am kidding, you aren't a bad person, a lot of people do that because it is easier but it is time to just be mature and bite the bullet if it is not going to go anywhere. What favors are you doing for the future?10|10|0
thanks for answering, lol i think i am not a bad person, just a bit coward in this situation, she is just too emotional about everything, breaks my heart to even think about telling her to stop talking about these things you know?
Well, I read your responses to the other questions and my point was that if you can see it going somewhere eventually and you might get to the same point of her then that is fine, no need to end it. You have to let her know though, that you can see doing those things with her but not for an "x" amount of time. It is only fair to let her know how long she will be waiting for so she can decide if she wants to wait that long.

Hello everybody, this is Rosiesievers20, and this is my first blog on this wiki.
So far Season 4 is turning out to be really great so far, last night I had watched the Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Osbourne, and it was awesome!
Here's what I like so far in this Season:
- Storylines are great
- I like the new voice actresses for Holly and Ginger, Diamond White and Michaela Zee.
- Songs are fantastic.
I am looking forward to see the special crossover episode with the Marvel characters, it is going to be wicked.
Here's what I want to see and some of the info has confirmed already:
- More focus on the Isabella and Phineas relationship.
- Isabella asking for relationship advice from Candace.
- Candace, Jeremy, Stacy, Coltrane and Jenny appear in the episode Happy Birthday Isabella.
- Another musical episode, like Rollercoaster the Musical.
- More appearances from Coltrane, Jenny and Monty Monogram.
- A new Christmas episode where the cast is doing a variety show with special guests.
- Another episode with Phineas and the Ferbtones.
So here is my question for you to answer, what would you like to see in Season 4? Feel free to comment and thanks for any feedback.

It feel like August 2010 in here with all the complainers.
I like the patch. It's a great step in the right direction. Yes, they killed some of my solo ability with the multishot recast timer and mp cost for cure/sac.
But I'll take that for now, because A) Change happens and B) I shouldn't be able to kill rank 42 dodos as 30 Arc.
I just came on here this morning to see what cool things everyone found in the raids, drops and strategies. What I find is QQs.

Notes To The Reader
These notes introduce the basic budget terms and concepts used in this report. The rest of the report is divided into three sections:
Research and Development in the 1996 Budget: An Overview provides an overview of Federal Funding of R&D within the context of requested total Federal budget authority. This section consists of five tables. Tables 1,2, 4, and 5 provide an overview of Federal R&D funding within the context of requested total Federal budget authority. Table 3 details Federal R&D funding for national defense and civilian programs in current and constant 1987 dollars for FYs 1955-96.
R&D by Specific Budget Function summarizes activities conducted within each budget function. Programs within the five functional categories that account for 90 percent of the R&D sponsored by the Federal Government are discussed briefly; data on R&D activities within the remaining functional categories are presented in tabular form only. This section consists of 19 tables (tables 6 through 24) which provide a summary of R&D activities conducted within each Federal budget function.
Historical Tables presents two historical data series: (1) Federal R&D funding by function for fiscal years 1955-96 (tables 25a through 25g) and (2) Federal funding of basic research for fiscal years 1978-96 (tables 26a through 26c).
Research is systematic study directed toward fuller scientific knowledge or understanding of the subject studied. Research is classified as either basic or applied according to the objective of the sponsoring agency.
Development is the systematic use of the knowledge or understanding gained from research directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods, including design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes. It excludes quality control, routine product testing, and production.
Funds for conducting R&D include those for personnel, program supervision, and administrative support directly associated with R&D activities. Expendable or movable equipment needed to conduct R&D-e.g., microscopes or spectrometers-is also included.
This report does not include data on R&D plant funds-i.e., funds for R&D facilities such as reactors, wind tunnels, or particle accelerators or for the construction, repair, or alteration of such facilities. Also excluded are all non- R&D activities performed within budget functions that conduct R&D and all functions in which no R&D is conducted.
Budget Authority, Obligations, and Outlays
Notably, each specific R&D activity is assigned to only one function area, consistent with the official codes used in budget documents, even though the R&D activity may address several functional concerns. For example, except for those of the Army Corps of Engineers, all R&D activities sponsored by the Department of Defense (DOD) are classified as defense, even though some activities have secondary objectives such as space or health. Moreover, only R&D funded by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor is classified in the "health" function category. Yet some R&D funding, from at least three agencies-DOD and the Departments of Energy and Veterans Affairs-has a major health component.
The functional categories and definitions used in this report are the same as those used in the Federal budget, with one exception. R&D activities categorized as "general science, space, and technology" (function 250) are reported separately here. Subfunction 251 contains R&D activities for general science and basic research, and subfunction 252 contains R&D activities for space research and technology. Not all federally sponsored basic research is categorized in function 251, however; some basic research is included in the remaining 19 functional categories.
Five Federal budget functions-Medicare (function 570), social security (function 650), net interest (function 900), allowances (function 920), and undistributed offsetting receipts (function 950)-have no R&D components. Consequently, they are not discussed in this report, except where R&D is described as a proportion of total Federal budget authority. (There is no R&D in the "general Government" (800) function for fiscal years 1994 through 1996, but the historical data include past R&D funding under this function).
The Agency/Function Crosswalk on the following page lists-by name and function code-the 16 individual R&D functions funded by agencies.
The data in this report represent agencies' best estimates of actual and proposed Federal funding for R&D collected during the period February 7 through May 15, 1995. These data are based primarily on information provided to OMB by 21 agencies and account for more than 99 percent of all federally sponsored R&D activities. Also incorporated in this report is R&D information that became available from the individual agencies after the administration's budget was prepared and reported in the Budget of the United States Government. Such information consists of agency budget justification documents submitted to Congress and supplemental, program-specific information obtained from agency budget and program staff through mid-May 1995. Therefore, budget numbers for individual activities, programs, or agencies may differ slightly from those published in the President's budget or agency budget documents.

Hello! So I am helping my friend with a school cupcake contest. However, she does not know anything about cake. She decided to make a lamb cupcake which has marshmallows, gumdrops, and licorice. She then decided to make the cake red velvet, she bought a Betty Crocker cake mix and then read the rules of the contest: if you use a cake mix you must add ingredients other than the box instructed eggs, water, and oil. She wants to add something that will make the red velvet cake fruitier or something that is a good combination with the decorations. We are making these tomorrow, any good suggestions??
Replace some of the oil with applesauce, it helps with moisture and reduces fat!
Great idea, pastrybaglady!
Use buttermilk instead of water and use butter instead of oil. The flavor is amazing.

It has always been my conviction that the house that sheltered their love, and later my own birth, was much closer to the night and its constellations than to the life of that vast country they had managed to escape without leaving its territory. The country surrounded them, encircled them, but they were elsewhere. And if, in the end, it discovered them, hidden deep in the woods in the Caucasus, this was the chance outcome of a game of symbols.
For it was a symbolic tie that, in one way or another, linked every inhabitant of the country to the mythical existence of the master of the empire. In their mountain refuge they believed they were free of the cult the country, indeed the entire globe, had built up around an old man who lived out his days consumed by the fear that he had not killed those likely to kill him. Adored or hated, he had a place in everyone's hearts. By day he was acclaimed, when night fell he was cursed in feverish whispers. But these two had the privilege of never bringing his name to mind. Of thinking only about the earth, the fire, the swirling waters of the stream by day. Of loving one another, loving the constancy of the stars by night.
Until that moment when the dictator, now almost halfway through the last year of his life, called them to order. Despite his morbid obsessions, irony was no stranger to him: he often smiled through his mustache. They did not wish to come to him? He would go to them. The mountain that towered above the narrow valley where their house lay hidden reverberated with explosions. Was the construction of a dam that would bear his name being embarked on? An artificial lake created to his greater glory? A power transmission cable set up that he had decided should bring light to remote villages? Was a mineral deposit being uncovered that would be dedicated to him? They only knew that, whatever the nature of these works, the master of the empire was making his presence felt.
After each explosion, fragments of rock shot up above the mountaintop then hurtled down the slope, now sticking fast in the tangles of the underbrush, now parting the smooth surface of the stream. Some of the slabs came to a halt just yards short of the fence that screened the house. Each time they caught sight of a fresh stone missile, the man and woman would leap up, holding out their arms instinctively, as if they could block the bounding fall that snapped tree trunks and tore up broad swathes of the forest floor.
When the explosions fell silent they exchanged looks and had time to say to themselves that their presence had not been discovered, so the place was really safe, or perhaps (they dared not believe this) their clandestine, criminal way of life was finally going to be accepted. The last salvo was unlike the others: it sounded to them like a stray echo that had been delayed. The slab of rock that detached itself from the mountaintop was different too -- flat, rounded, and, in a manner of speaking, silent. Its fall was almost soundless. It struck a tree, stood on edge, and revealed its true nature. It was a granite disk, sliced off by the whim of the explosion, rolling faster and faster. The man and woman made no move, mesmerized both by the speed of its rotation and the improbable slowness with which the action was unfolding in front of their eyes. A tree trunk barring the path of this stone wheel was not smashed but sliced, like an arm by a saber. The thickets that might have stopped it seemed to part to let it through. It avoided another tree with the sly agility of a big cat. The dusk veiled some of the stages in its descent -- they heard, before seeing it, the dry shattering of the fence.Continue reading the main story
The disk did not destroy their house. It embedded itself in it, as if in clay, plunging into the heart of it, tearing up the floor and coming to a halt, still bolt upright.
Standing about a hundred yards away from the house, the man lashed out in the direction of the mountaintop, threatening someone with raised fists, and let fly an oath. Then, walking like an automaton, approached their home, which still seemed to be mutely quivering from the impact. The mother, nearer to the door, did not step forward but fell to her knees and hid her face in her hands. The silence had returned to its original essence -- the incisive purity of the peaks against a sky still radiant with light. All that could be heard now was the man's halting footfalls. But almost audible in its intensity was the unknowable prayer, silently murmured by the woman.
Making their way into the room, they saw the granite disk, even more massive there under the low ceiling, embedded between the deeply furrowed floorboards. The child's cradle, which hung in the middle of the room (they were wary of snakes), had been grazed and was rocking gently. But the cords had not given way and the child had not awakened. The mother held him tight, still incredulous, then allowed herself to be convinced, heard the life in him. When she looked up, what the father saw in her eyes was the trace of a dread that was no longer related to the child's life. It was the echo of her terrible prayer, the vow she had made, the inhuman sacrifice she had offered in advance, to the one who would keep death at bay. The father did not know the name of this dark and vigilant god. He believed in fate or, quite simply, chance.
Chance willed it that the explosions did not start again. The man and woman, who accepted each day of silence as a gift of God or of fate, were not to know that artificial lakes were no longer needed, since the one to whom they were dedicated had just died.
The news of Stalin's death would be brought to them, three months later, by a woman with white hair, a lithe and youthful step, and eyes that did not judge. The only one who knew their secret refuge, she was more than a friend or relative. She came as night fell, greeted them, and spent several seconds stroking the surface of the granite slab, whose presence in their house no longer amazed the couple and seemed as natural to the infant as the sun at the window or the fresh scent of the clothes hanging up outside the wall. The word "rock" would be one of the first he learned.
It was from that infant, no doubt, that I inherited both the fear of naming things and the painful temptation to do so. An infant, borne away one night by the white-haired woman who, as she made her escape, did her utmost for him not to be aware of it. At first she was successful, until she came to cross a narrow suspension bridge above the stream. The infant was dozing with open eyes, and did not seem surprised. He recognized the warmth of the woman's body, the shape and strength of the arms holding him tight. Despite the darkness, the air had the same scent as usual, the pleasantly sharp tang of dead leaves. Even the mountains, now black, and the trees tinted blue by the moon did not amaze him: often the sun's fierce light at noon would seem to turn the ground and the foliage around their house black.
But halfway across the little bridge, as it sways on its ropes, suddenly everything changes. The infant does not see the worn slats on which the woman is moving falteringly forward, nor the gaps left by the missing ones, nor the phosphorescent foam on the stream. But he senses, without knowing why, that the woman carrying him is afraid. And this fear in an adult is as strange as the abrupt maneuver by which she grips the collar of his little shirt in her teeth, reaches out with her arms to cling to the ropes and leaves him dangling in the dark air. Her stride -- almost a leap -- over the broken slats is so long that the child feels as if he is flying. The pebbles on the bank crunch under the woman's feet. She unclenches her jaw, takes the infant in her arms again. And hastily puts her hand over his mouth, anticipating the cry that this being, who is beginning to understand, was about to utter.
For the infant their nocturnal escape coincided with that unique moment when the world becomes words. Only the day before everything was still fused together into a luminous mixture of sounds, skies, familiar faces. When the sun went down, his father would appear on the threshold of the house -- and the joy of the setting sun was also joy at seeing this smiling man whom the sun brought home, or was it, perhaps, the father's return that sent the sun plunging into the branches of the forest and turned its rays copper? His mother's hands smelled of clothing washed in the icy waters of the stream, a fragrance that scented the first hours of the morning, mingling with the breeze that blew down from the mountains. And this flow of air was inseparable from the quick caress with which his mother's fingers strayed into his hair when she woke him. Occasionally, amid this tissue of lights and scents, a rarer note: the presence of the woman with white hair. Sometimes her coming coincided with the retreat of the last snows toward the mountaintops, sometimes with the blooming of those great purple flowers on their tall stems that seemed to light up the underbrush. She would come and the infant would notice an extra clarity in all that he saw and breathed. He came to associate this mysterious happiness with the little suspension bridge that the woman used to cross when she spent a few days in their house.
On that particular night it was the same woman, gripping his shirt collar in her teeth and carrying him over the little bridge as it set snares for them with its broken slats. When she collapsed amid the thickets she just had time to stifle the infant's cry. He struggled for a second, then froze, alarmed by quite a new sensation: the woman's hand was trembling. Silent now, he observed the world disintegrating into objects he could name, and which, once named, hurt his eyes. This moon, a kind of frozen sun. This bridge, a secret herald of happiness no longer. The smell of the water, no longer associated with the coolness of his mother's hands. But above all, this woman, sitting in the darkness, her anxious face turned toward impending danger.
He recalled that their whole journey, begun well before sunset, had been nothing other than a slow slide toward a world riven by strangeness and fear. They had started by walking through the forest, up hill and down dale, at a pace too fast for an ordinary stroll. The sun had gone down without waiting for his father's smile. Then the forest had thrust them out onto a level, open space and the child, not believing his eyes, had seen several houses lined up along a road. Before that there had only been one house in the world, theirs, hidden between the stream and the wooded flank of the mountain. The house, unique, like the sky or the sun, impregnated with all the scents given off by the forest, in tune with the yellowing of the leaves that covered its roof, attentive to changes of the light. And now this street lined with houses! Their multiplicity hurts his eyes, provokes a painful need to respond. The word "house" forms in the infant's mouth, leaving an insipid, hollow taste. They spend a long while in an empty courtyard behind a fence, and when the child grows impatient and utters the word "house," to indicate that he wants to go home, the woman hugs him to herself and stops him from speaking. Over her shoulder he becomes aware of a group of men. Their appearance leaves him totally baffled. To himself he says "people" the word he had heard spoken at home with a slight anxious hesitation. People, the others, them ... Now he sees them in flesh and blood, they exist. The world is growing bigger, teeming, destroying the singularity of those who hitherto surrounded him: his mother, his father, the white-haired woman. By saying "people," he feels he has done something irreparable. He closes his eyes, opens them again. The people disappearing at the end of the street all look alike in their dark jackets and pants and their long black boots. He hears the woman heave a deep sigh.
* * *
During the night, after crossing the little suspension bridge, words assault him, force him to understand. He understands that what was missing from the houses in the village, where they have just seen "people" was the great stone disk. These houses were empty, their doors were wide open and no glint of mica shone in the gloom of their rooms. A sudden doubt assails him: what if the house has no need of the gray rock at its heart? What if their own house was not a proper house at all? The conversations between adults that he used to retain in his memory as simple rhythms now bristle with words. He understands scraps of these words, remembered in spite of himself. The story of the rock, its appearance, its strength. They often spoke of it. So, it was an aberration: even his mother's action one night when she fixed a candle in the long fissure on the slab of rock.
All at once his family's life seems to him very fragile in the face of this threatening world, where the houses get by without granite disks and the inhabitants all wear black boots and vanish up a road that has no ending. The child senses confusedly that it is because of these "people" that their family has been obliged to dwell in the forest and not in the village where the others live. He goes on deciphering the words he recalls from the adults' conversations and is more and more afraid. He has not seen his parents since the sunshine of the afternoon, a separation, he senses, that could last indefinitely in this world without limits.
The hand smothering his cry seems unfamiliar, for it is trembling. He remains silent for a moment. In the darkness below their hiding place footfalls can be heard on the pebbles at the stream's edge, voices, a brief metallic grating sound. The infant struggles, he is about to free himself from the hand restraining his sobs, to cry out for his mother; he has recognized his father's voice down there. He wants no more of this world where everything is booby-trapped by words. He does not want to understand.
Through the breathlessness of his struggles he suddenly hears a melody. A hardly audible music. A soft, almost silent singsong that the woman murmurs in his ear. He tries to grasp the words. But the phrases have a strange beauty, devoid of meaning. A language he has never heard. Quite different from that of his parents. A language that does not require understanding, just immersion in its swaying rhythms, in the velvety suppleness of its sounds.
Mesmerized by this unknown language, the child falls asleep and hears neither the distant gunshots, multiplied by echoes, nor the long-drawn-out cry that just reaches them, laden with all the despair of love.

Significantly more people like me than I like back. Not because I'm that attractive, because Im really not. It'smainly because I rarely ever fall in love and when I do, it sticks for a lomg time. I had feelings for a guy in a university I dropped out of for tactical reasons and never saw him again. I want to fall in love again, but cannot seem to manage it. I tried dating someone I liked as a friend but it just didn't work and soon I found him repulsive. We're back to friends luckily, but how can I make it easier to fall in love?

Penn singles records
Penn doubles records
Florida Gulf Coast records
Florida International records
PHILADELPHIA - Just past the halfway point of the non-conference portion of the slate, women's tennis will be back in action this Thursday and Friday during the team's annual Spring Break trip. The Quakers have had just under two weeks to rest and recover from a tough stretch of non-conference matchups. However, two more tests in Florida Gulf Coast and Florida International are awaiting the team in the Sunshine State.
Freshman Alex Ion recorded her first victory since moving up to the No. 2 spot, winning against Buffalo. Overall this spring, she is 4-3, but two of her losses have come in three set matches. Combined with the fall, Ion has a team-high 13 wins through her first 19 matches this season. Fellow freshman Srinidhi Raghavan also picked up her first win at No. 4 against Buffalo. Raghavan is 3-2 overall this spring, including a 2-0 mark at No. 5. She has won five matches overall.
Sophomore Stephanie Do has been holding down the No. 1 position recently. She has not been able to come up with a victory at the top slot, but has come closer in each successive match. She has won seven matches overall this year, including two wins at the second position this spring. Senior Daniela DePaoli also brings seven victories into play. She has been playing No. 3 recently and has two wins at No. 4 this spring.
Junior captain Jules Rodin has two wins this spring at No. 6. She has played No. 5 in each of the last three matches and just came out on the wrong side of two consecutive three set matches in that new spot. In has also been a spring of close calls for Emma Whitfield. The junior has played six matches and forced a decisive third set in one and a pair of 10-point tiebreaks in two more.
Freshman Sol Eskenazi has not played in the team's last four matches, but has a 10-3 record overall, including a 3-1 mark at No. 1 this spring. She started out the spring with three straight victories in that top spot. Her only loss came when she was forced to retire against Maryland's 28th-ranked player in the country.
In doubles, Do and Ion have played No. 1 the last three matches. They have combined to win five matches together dating back to the fall season where they qualified for the ITA Regional doubles draw. In their last match, they were down 7-0 and won six straight games before coming up just short, 8-6.
Raghavan and Rodin have filled the second doubles position in the last three matches. They started the spring at No. 3 and are unbeaten in their only match at that position. DePaoli and Whitfield have been the most stable pairing, playing the last six matches together at No. 3 doubles. They have won two matches together this spring in that position and have four victories as a team dating back to the fall.
Florida Gulf Coast comes into the match with a 3-4 record overall. Morgan Bechtel has won a team-high six matches for the Eagles, including a 4-2 mark at No. 4 this season. Bettina Botha is also 4-2 this spring, playing all her matches at the No. 5 position in the lineup. Sarah Means has compiled a 3-4 record in the No. 1 spot this season and has a 4-6 record overall this year.
Florida International has been ranked in top-75 throughout the season, but has since dropped from the rankings. Karyn Guttorsmen is a team-best 8-7 this season. She has played anywhere from No. 4 to No. 6 in the FIU lineup. Rita Maisek and Giulietta Boha each have seven wins this season. Maisek has also spent two matches at No. 1.
After returning from Florida, the Quakers will not be back in action until Wednesday, March 21 when cross-town rival Temple comes to University City. The matchup with Temple will also mark the final non-conference match of the season. Ivy League play will open up for Penn the first full weekend in April.
The series with Florida Gulf Coast
- Thursday's match will be the first ever meeting between the two squads
The series with Florida International
Overall: Penn leads, 1-0
Only meeting: The Quakers won at Florida International, 6-3, on March 9, 1998

Academy Awards Guide
Academy Awards Guide from Overstock.com. Our guides provide customers with information about the Academy Awards.
ITEM#: 11498691For his third feature film, British director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY) turns to the pages of Anthony Swofford's 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enlists William Broyles Jr.--a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam--to convert it into a screenplay. Mendes's film strays into FULL METAL JACKET territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steely, watchful eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), ultimately taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the long wait for battle sends many of the Marines dangerously close to the brink of insanity. Drawing on the experience of acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) to help viewers get a close-up taste of the Marines' punishing life in the desert, Mendes's film enters into deeply unsettling territory, the likes of which many cinemagoers won't have experienced since Martin Sheen lost his tenuous grip on reality in APOCALYPSE NOW. Indeed, Mendes deploys a few similar tactics to those that made Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film so effective: a hip soundtrack that uses songs from artists as varied as Public Enemy and the Rolling Stones, and a feeling of disillusionment and futility among the troops that really digs in when the battle finally blackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtful account of life as a modern day soldier, demonstrating how technology has made the average Marine's job all but redundant, and created disaffected troops who are as much a threat to each other as the enemies they wait to face in the trenches.
