Summary: It's my first song-fic.
Spoilers: None
Distribution: My fic is your fic. Just let me know.
Feedback: Definitely!! Tell me if it sucked or if you liked it. Whatever. Just write back!
Authors Note: It's an AU story and there is no Anya.
How could this be happening? I must be crazy…I have to be crazy.
I got her. I finally got Buffy, and who am I thinking about…
God, Buffy, I'm so sorry. I should tell her I'm sorry, I really should.
I mean, its Buffy. Buffy Summers. And she's my girlfriend. It's been four months and that concept still sounds foreign in my mind in the context of her. I'm in love with her. I thought I was when we first met, but I wasn't. I couldn't have been if this is how I feel now.
I turn my head to the side, to look at her, to verify the fact that I love her.
We're sitting on the couch at the Bronze, Buffy and I, side by side, watching a cover band of all things. I'm vaguely aware of the song, but I spend most of the time studying her…her long blond hair that she's wearing down tonight, her mouth turned up in a slight smile, her hazel eyes, …I think of how she laughs, really laughs, and her head tilts back and her eyes close, her hair cascading down her back…Yep, I love her.
Dammit! What am I doing?!
The song changes. Now it's one I know. Its Offspring's "Want You Bad". I like this song, so I turn my attention back to the stage and listen to the lyrics.
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie
Okay, stop listening to the lyrics of the song. Stop listening, stop listening…And the thoughts are back. She's back in my head, infesting my thoughts, growing like a fungus or a mold or something.
I look at Buffy again, this time she turns and smiles at me. I have to smile back. God I love Faith…Buffy!
Shit! I said Faith, well I thought Faith. I meant Buffy…
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now can't you see
I snap my head back around. Buffy…Buffy…Buffy. I love Buffy. She's everything I want, I've ever wanted. She's perfect, everything about her. I love her soul, her resilience. She has an inner light that shines through, even with all the darkness that's hidden in her. It has to be hidden in there, the bad part, the part that only wants to act on primal instinct and urges…I mean, I saw it. The first Slayer kicked my ass. But, Buffy never seems to think about that. She never lets the impulse to…I don't know, hurt things, get to her. I wonder if she's even being herself.
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Faith did…act on instinct that is. Faith wasn't afraid to be herself. She was…wild. Untamed and vulnerable all at the same time. She always took what she wanted, no matter what.
Complete me
Mistreat me
Want you bad
Buffy doesn't. Buffy's not like Faith, she waits. Buffy's a good girl. I don't know why…
She should be the one dressed in leather, hunting down demons mercilessly, taking what she wants, being a bad ass. She should be fearless.
Why am I thinking about this? I love Buffy Summers. Everything about her. Buffy Summers loves me. Done and done.
I shut my eyes and slouch back against the couch breathing a sigh of relief.
No more Buffy…Shit! Faith. NO MORE FAITH!
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
So come on
My eyes are open again. When I shut them I see her. I see us…doing things. Things I can't even picture Buffy even considering. Picturing Faith riding me like a …STOP! Can't think like that!
"I wish they would turn this crap off!" I yell unexpectedly.
"You like this song, Xan." Buffy says, "I just brought you the CD."
I look at her and smile, always smiling. We don't fight…there's no passion if you don't fight.
"I don't like your hair." I say out of the blue.
Great! Just fucking great. Lets insult the woman you love. You asshole!
"What?" she looks at me stunned.
"I don't like it here." I try to cover, "We should go." Maybe if I get us out of here I'll feel better.
"No. You said you don't like my hair."
Oh God, I hurt her. I hate hurting her, "I like brown hair." What the hell am I saying, "Your hair used to be brown." Shoot me.
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see
She's looking at me and I'm trying to smile. Everytime I blink I see Faith mocking me, smirking back at me…with her cherry red lips. Lips I just want to… Keep your eyes open Harris! Open and focused. God I hate this song.
"Well," she starts, "It's been a while. I could try a sandy blond/lightish brown again."
No! Don't change. Don't offer to change!
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Faith never offered to change. She would've said 'Fuck off Harris.' and walked away. Walked away and left me wanting more. That was her gift, whenever she left, something about her always left me wanting more.
I want you bad
"Alright." I'm trying to change her. I want her to look…to look like Faith. I've waited since I was fifteen for Buffy, only to get her and transform her into a woman I already had. A woman who used me…who insulted me…hell, a woman who tried to kill me. This has to be some sort of mental illness. "How 'bout a…dark chocolate brown." I throw out there.
I'm Satan incarnate.
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
"Nah." she tells me while running a hand through her hair, "I like light brown, just for a change of pace."
Hello. She said no. Buffy told me no. I missed that about us, the rejection and all…
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
"I'm ready to go now." she says next.
"I like this song." I try to argue. I can't tell her that I like this song cuz it makes me think of her archenemy.
"I know something you like more," she interrupted my thoughts, "and if we don't leave now, you won't be getting it for a long time."
I want you bad
Ooohhh. Threats. Buffy's good at threats. I watch as she stands up and looks down at me. I stay sitting. If I ignore her she'll get angry. I want her angry. Maybe I can bait some vamps out on the way home, I like the whole after a fight Slayers are either hungry or horny deal, especially when she's both, but that's another inner monologue.
They have that in common. I wonder if after a fight Buffy and Faith ever…there's an interesting thought.
Buffy reaches down and grabs my hand, pulling me to my feet. I hope she doesn't look down because the mental prospect of two Slayers and a Harris has gotten more than a little *ahem* rise out of me.
Her eyes flick down, "Now."
That was almost a growl, I like it when she growls. And, I'm being dragged away before I can protest.
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad
The door is in the opposite direction. I want to go to the door. I try to pull in the other direction, but her grip on my arm tightens. Slayer strength. Gotta love that when it's put to good use.
I'm glad she seems to know where we're going cuz I don't have a clue…the bathroom? We're going to the bathroom. I would ask why, but that's already apparent because she just locked the door and now I've been pushed into the sink. I don't have time to think about the pain in my spine anymore either because Buffy's kissing me.
Attacking me really. Just like Faith did, only different. Cuz I love her. I love Buffy. And I smile.
The End

Apple will be waiting for some time to get that $1 billion from Samsung

On Monday, Apple and Samsung worked out a schedule for post-verdict motions and enforcing the judgment; a stipulation filed by the court says that any attempt to enforce the verdict must wait for at least 14 days after the court has rulked on all post-trial motions...

Sammy should stop supplying big bully with parts for ALL its devices. Let apple flounder without crucial parts for years. This will surely stop apple dead in their evil tracks.
Lack of innovation brings lawsuits. Apple went after Sammy for piddly little design junk. Notice Android and Google aren't being sued. Oh wait, as soon as Apple drops an LTE device, BLOCKING of all future products will begin. Google will own Apple if apple pokes the bear..
Apple is just now coming out with the unheard of screen size of 4 inches. Can you image how cool those rounded icons will look now. Not to mention how much bigger your friends pimple will be on face time. Imagine the world of possibilities with the new much larger iPhoney. The Iphoney just keeps getting bigger and more glorious. WOW still the same body design for essentially going on 6 years by the time the iphoney 6 rolls out.. No wonder the fantwinks like grapple.. They like boring, uninventive and boring.. Yawn.. Bring on the Note 2.. 5.5 inches of screen. SIZE does matter Apple

Size matters? It depends on your preference. Personally I would prefer my phone to be no bigger than 120.5mm x 61.5mm x 10.9mm. Anything bigger than that would be a pain to store and hold.
As for Google owning Apple? It would be interesting to see, becasue the arms race has just seen google map nixed. Sit back and sip some bubbles and watch the further escapades of apple and google....

60% of the people with smartphones use Android and Google Maps is still available on iOS and their 3D maps with turn by turn navigation was launched already. I trust Google to do mapping right, not Apple.

Samsung makes a fortune off of apple. Right now they are in a Win win situation and they will should not stop suplying apple stuff it business not personal.
Apple would survive without Samsung. Put an apple designed snapdragon s4 quad core in the next iPhone and it would kick but.
I personally love my iPad but will never get an iPhone again. There operating system is a bore. I am waiting for my iPad2 to get old and I am switching and moving on. Hope the full operating system windows 8 tablet is a cool as I imagine. Just saying that becaus I am not really a fan of apple even though I am somewhat defending them. I don't want them to go away because this battle of hardware is a win win for consumers cause they all try to one up the other to our benifit
15. Friendlysky (Posts: 54; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
This is an arrogance American company who is worry about others country make a better product than them. As a consumer alway welcome a new product and innovation with an affortable price. Keep inmind what goes up and also coming down I cannot wait to see those day for Apple to close. Every dog have his day.

Personally, I love Apple and their products (minus the "S" versions)! I'm excited to see what's going on, but Apple needs to slow their roll on the lawsuits. I mean... why are you trying to monopolize the phone industry so much. Isn't it cool enough that your products are bought no matter what happens? I love my Android phones and they give me a TOTALLY different aspect of the phone world. I love y'all to death (Android and Apple) but damn... shut the hell up and let people buy what they want. As long as you make money! :D

"Birth experience at Hillingdon hospital"
About: Hillingdon Hospital Hillingdon Hospital Uxbridge UB8 3NN
Posted by DR
I recently gave birth at Hillingdon hospital. The antenatal care and care during and after the delivery was excellent. I developed diabetes when pregnant and the care I received was really good and well coordinated. I was particularly impressed with the postnatal care on the ward. This is my second child and I had lots of difficulty breast feeding my first child. When I explained this to staff and told them that I really wanted to try breast feeding again, they ensured that I had lots of support to help me. I ended up staying in hospital for a few days as my son was born 5 weeks early and needed treatment for jaundice. I really can't fault the care I received.
Response from Hillingdon Hospital 3 years ago
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Our midwives always strive so hard to provide a very high standard of care and will be very happy to hear they have achieved this. We try so hard to support breastfeeding when at times it isn't plain sailing and again it is wonderful to hear that you got the right support to have your wishes realised.

Body hair – love it or loathe it, we all have it and it's a natural part of being human. Some might say it's an evolutionary hangover from our days as apes when we needed a thick coat of hair to keep us warm during the perilous winters. But in modern times it simply keeps sweat and other moisture away from our skin, aiding ventilation.
Body hair is not quite the necessity that it used to be, however, and many of us choose to remove it in the interests of hygiene and to look presentable in public. There are also certain social and cultural expectations about how much hair, and where, is seen as acceptable for both men and women.
Women are constantly criticised for not being feminine enough if they fail to wax their body into a sublime state of smoothness. Most struggle to reach the almost impossible standards of beauty that our culture bestows upon them as the 'feminine ideal' and as a result, are left feeling insecure about their appearance.
This is particularly the case for women with hirsutism, a condition where there is excess hair growth on the face, neck, chest, stomach and thighs. Many women find this condition very distressing and embarrassing, with some resorting to measures such as laser hair removal in order to treat it. Others may turn to shaving, waxing or plucking as a solution, while contraception and prescription hair removal creams can also help.
Hair removal company Veet recently came under fire for their 'Don't Risk Dudeness' campaign, which some say served to highlight women's insecurities and fears about having body hair on display. The advert was criticised by its target audience and many feminists tweeted their disgust that they were being ridiculed for what their bodies do naturally – produce hair.
Women are now beginning to question the notion that smooth armpits and legs are the epitomé of female beauty. At the start of the 20th century, most women wore long skirts so their legs were not on show. As fashions changed and skirts grew shorter, razor companies realized they could market to women and smooth legs became de rigour.
Despite, or sometimes in defiance of, this social pressure to be smooth, some modern women decide to go against conventional beauty rules and freely grow their armpit and leg hair. This is not always an act of rebellion, they may simply chose to avoid spending hours shaving and the skin irritation it can cause.
In recent times there has been a surge in women choosing to dye their armpit hair in bright colours, turning this hair into decoration just as they may choose to dye the hair on their head. By doing so they are drawing attention to the hair, and also subverting the idea that body hair is unattractive.
It's not conventional to show off female body hair and therefore it is often seen as an act of defiance to consciously choose to do so and not care what anyone else thinks. The mainstream media doesn't readily accept body hair, often ridiculing women who sport it, think Julia Roberts at the premiere of Notting Hill or, more recently, Pixie Lott and Scout Willis who flaunted their armpit hair at celebrity events.
While female body hair may not yet be the trendsetting fashion that certain circles would like it to be, there is something to be said for going au naturel. After all, armpit hair or not, we live in a free society and just as some people may choose to pierce or tattoo their skin, what we do with our body hair is a personal preference.

|Truth, Justice, and Zoinks!
Episode Info Edit
Truth, Justice, and Zoinks! is the twenty-third episode of the first season of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! (Catfish Co.).
The gang plays superheroes when a comic book supervillain comes to life and wreaks havoc on a big city.
"Done!" Cheered a man in a sweater vest and glasses. He looked tired and it was dark and stormy outside. "Issue #207 of The Incredible Wonder Fighters is completely drawn. All I need is to color and then send it to the publishers for next month's issue." He leaned back in his chair, relaxed when all of a sudden a loud guitar riff shook the room. "What the-"
"Hahahah!" Laughed a man who leapt in through the window. As he came out of the shadows it turned out to be what looked like an evil guitarist.
"No way... You can't be!" The man said.
"Oh but I am... The Guitar Villain! Ahahaha! Soon you will regret ever drawing this face Clark!" The Guitar Villain laughed. "Take this!" He growled as he strummed a chord causing a laser beam to shoot out of the guitar which barely missed Clark. Clark hid behind his desk.
"I need someone, anyone! I need the Incredible Wonder Fighters!" He whimpered.
"Ahahaha!" The Guitar Villain laughed as he stole a signed guitar out of Clark's office. "I'll be taking this!" He laughed as he jumped out the window. Clark ran over to the window in disbelief as he saw the Guitar Villain fly off on his hovering guitar!
"Uh-oh." He said.
"Next." Said a nerdy looking kid.
The gang was waiting in line at the comic shop.
"Oh boy Shaggy!" Scooby cheered.
"Sup Ned." Shaggy greeted.
"Sup Shaggy, you here for IWF Issue #206?" Asked Ned.
"IWF?" Velma asked.
"Duh Velma, the Incredible Wonder Fighters! The best superheroes ever! Consisting of Lady Luck, my personal favorite, Super-Stition, Captain Hero, Belch Boy, and Power Pup!" Daphne explained. "The members of the IWF protect the fictional city of Fightropolis from super villains!"
"Ugh I never understood why people obsessed so much over comics." Velma muttered.
"Comics are the best!" Ned defended.
"Like, yeah the IWF protect the world from evil people like the Guitar Villain!" Shaggy exclaimed, pointing to the cover of the comic.
"You're telling me that as a kid you never fantasized of becoming a superhero?" Fred asked.
"Why would I when its impossible? No one can gain power from radioactive spider bites, meteors, chemicals, etc. it's just unbelievable." Velma muttered as the gang hopped into the Mystery Machine.
"Lady Luck gained her powers from her ancestors." Daphne said matter-of-factly.
"And Captain Hero is a hero from the plant Heron." Fred defended.
Shaggy and Scooby were immersed in their comic book. Fred turned on the radio and it blared. "Breaking news, a comic book super villain has stolen from the creator of him himself, Clark Brent of BC comics. He stole a signed guitar from his office. Publicity Stunt or actual super villain on the loose, I am Brett Youbetcha signing off."
"Sounds like we have a mystery at BC comics." Fred said happily as he drove the gang the direction of the offices.
"Just my luck, a whole day that will involve lame guys and gals in tights." Velma stared out the window.
"That's not your luck that's the luck of Lady Luck who is calling upon us to stop this bad guy for the IWF!" Daphne cheered.
"For once a mystery makes me happy!" Scooby exclaimed.
"Oh brother." Velma said.
The gang walked into the office of Clark who was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands.
"Hi can I help you?" He asked.
"Yes. Is that a Lady Luck costume!?" Daphne squealed eyeing a case holding all of the IWF's costumes.
"Why yes it is. Are you kids here to investigate the attack of me by the Guitar Villain?" Clark asked.
"Sadly." Velma muttered.
"What she means is yes we really want to help." Fred smiled, nudging Velma.
"Ow." Velma whimpered.
"Like, was it straight out of Issue #206?" Shaggy asked excitedly.
"Yeah minus the fact the IWF didn't show up to stop him from stealing my prized guitar." Clark complained.
"The Guitar Villain?" Scooby asked.
"Yeah, he's the newest villain in the series. He is a disgruntled ex-rockstar who wants to be in the spotlight again but this time by stealing valuable music-related objects." Clark explained.
"Yeah Scoob, he first appears on page 3 which we didn't get to yet." Shaggy said.
"We were just on a 20 minute drive and you didn't even get to page 3?" Velma asked surprised. "Aren't those mostly pictures?"
"I'm a dog." Scooby said.
"And I'm just a slow-reader." Shaggy said.
All of a sudden on the TV screen appeared Brett Youbetcha. "Greetings again, it appears that there is a robbery in progress at Differs Recording Studio by a comic book super villain."
"The Guitar Villain, my arch-nemesis." Daphne said.
"You haven't even met him." Velma corrected.
"Oh can you kids please help solve this mystery before I become the one to blame." Clark pleaded.
"On one condition.." Fred said.
The gang was in the Mystery Machine, all in costume, Shaggy as Belch Boy, Scooby as Power Pup, Daphne as Lady Luck, Fred as Captain Hero, Velma is the only exception. Scooby's costume looks similar to a Mellow Mutt costume. Shaggy's is purple with a tone of green bubbles all over it and a cape. Fred's is the colors of the American flag with his hood looking like the head of a bald eagle. Finally, Daphne's is green with a four leaf clover in the middle with the letters LL in the middle of the clover. All of them have small masks on.
"Really." Velma said.
"If we're like stopping a villain why wouldn't we do it in style?" Asked Fred.
"I wouldn't exactly call this style." Velma responded.
"Ah, Captain Hero, here's the recording studio, stop the Powermobile!" Daphne ordered triumphantly.
"The Powermobile?" Velma asked.
"Ugh the IWF's main mode of transportation Velma, no need to be a stick in the mud." Shaggy said.
"Yes civilian, no need to be a stick in the mud." Scooby repeated heroically.
"Look team, on the roof, the Guitar Villain!" Fred exclaimed.
The gang got out of the Mystery Machine to see the Guitar Villain holding a golden record.
"Hahahaha!" He laughed. "Who have we here, the Incredible Wonder Fighters and some nerd?"
"That's right!" Fred said.
"Hey!" Velma said, offended.
"You won't get away with this Hasbeen." Daphne taunted.
"Oh please, like a bunch of kids in tights will stop me. Rock and Roll!" He yelled as he strummed a chord causing the ground to shake.
"Like, Zoinks!" Shaggy screamed as Scooby jumped in his arms.
"Not so fast, Laser Ray!" Fred shouted pulling out a gun, but it just turned out to be a prop. "Aw man."
"Of course it's just a prop, you expect there to be actual weapons in a costume?" Velma said.
"It's time for a game of horseshoes!" Daphne shouted, pulling out a bunch of horseshoes and throwing them at the musical bad guy.
He dodged all of the horseshoes and laughed, strumming another chord which caused lasers to fly at the gang.
"Ok... Jeepers." Daphne whimpered.
Fred gulped. "Let's just forget the superhero personas and run!" Fred ordered, but Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby were already inside of the recording studio. Fred and Daphne ran in as the Guitar Villain flew away on his hovering guitar.
"We were, like, way ahead of you there Captain Hero." Shaggy patted Fred on the back.
"No way did that creep get away with Melvis Destiny's golden record?" Asked a woman.
"I think so ma'm" Fred said.
"I'm Melody. Me and my band the Record Setters record here. We've always adored Melvis Destiny, and now his prized record is gone!" Melody whimpered, hugging Scooby who licked away her tears.
"Melody are you alright?" Asked two men who approached her.
"We saw you guys put up a fight." The one man said to the gang.
"The record was stolen oh my!" Said the one.
"If only we could've stopped that guy!" Said the other.
"Are you two singing?" Velma asked.
"They always do to try and come up with a brilliant new song." Melody explained. "This is Bass and Treble.
"Sup mates." Said Bass.
"Pri-mates." Said Treble.
"O...K..." The gang said awkwardly.
"Did you guys hear any word of where that villain was going next?" Asked Daphne.
"He said he was going to his hideout." Bass sung.
"Stealing that record, makes me pout." Treble sung back.
"Thank you good citizens of this city. Now the IWF and Velma, shall we travel to the lair of the Guitar Villain?" Fred asked
"Because I'm a superhero now I'm not just scared I'm super scared." Shaggy whimpered.
"Agreed." Scooby agreed.
"To the Powermobile!" Daphne shouted.
The gang drove to the side of a mountain and got out.
"How do you figure this is the Guitar Villain's lair?" Fred asked Velma.
"I've been reading Shaggy and Scooby's comic book and the Guitar Villain's hideout is in fact in the side of a mountain just like this one." Velma concluded.
"So you're a fan of comics now eh?" Daphne giggled.
"No!" Velma defended. "It was just for the mystery." She crossed her arms.
"Just in case I brought along the extra Super-Stition costume." Daphne said.
"Never." Velma refused.
"C'mon team, let's head inside." Fred said boldly as he, Daphne, and Velma walked inside.
Scooby's and Shaggy stood there trembling.
"Alright Scoob we can do this, we're super!" Shaggy said flexing his muscles, which in turn flipped over and turned into sagging flesh.
Scooby giggled.
"we can do this!" Shaggy encouraged as he forced Scooby into the lair with him.
The gang walked in to find a cavern in which there were many comic books and the stolen guitar and stolen record!
"Like, Zoinks Central." Shaggy echoed throughout the cavern.
"Shhhhhhhh!!" The gang shushed.
"Sorry." Shaggy said.
"Why would an arch nemesis of the IWF have all of these comics about them?" Daphne asked.
"That is interesting..." Velma observed.
"You know what's interesting the fact that you meddling heroes have intruded on my rock sanctuary!" Yelled the Guitar Villain as he appeared out of the shadows. He took off his strange green glasses and grinned. "Welcome."
"He creepy." Scooby said.
"Give us back the stolen goods Guitar Villain!" Daphne threatened.
"Or else what, you'll throw a Lucky Rabbit's Foot at me!" He laughed.
"Hey Lady Luck is the coolest of the IWF!" Daphne said.
"Now wait a minute, what about Captain Hero!" Fred argued.
"Power Pup is my home slice." Scooby said.
"The coolest is truly Belch Boy." Shaggy argued.
The gang all of a sudden burst into argument.
"Guys.." Velma said quietly. "Guys.." She said louder. "GUYS!!!!!!!" She screamed, interrupting the gang's argument. "Shouldn't we be more focused on the evil, menacing villain?"
"It'll hat be hard to focus in the dark." The Guitar Villain laughed as he pulled a lever and all the lights in the cave went out.
"He won't be able to see either so there's no way he'll escape." Fred declared.
"I'm pretty sure his kooky green sunglasses were night-vision goggles." Velma warned.
"Scooby, use some of Power Pup's powers." Daphne said.
"Collar Light!" Scooby barked as his costume's collar lit up the room.
"Like, he's getting away!" Shaggy warned as the Guitar Villain ran out of the cavern.
"Not on our watch, IWF and Velma, out!" Fred ordered.
The chase begins
The gang ran out chasing the Guitar Villain as he ran into one of the tunnels of the cavern. Fred and Velma ran down one tunnel (The wrong one), while Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne ran down the other.
Fred and Velma ran into a room with bats but at the same time, the Guitar Villain played his earthquake chord, waking up all of the bats who chase them back to where they came.
Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby run and see the Guitar Villain riding at them on his hovering guitar. They scream and run away back the way they came.
The two groups run into at the intersection of the tunnels, the bats that were chasing Fred and Velma attack the Guitar Villain who flies away while swatting the bats
Music Stops.
"That was cray-cray." Scooby said.
"C'mon let's get back outside and catch this band baddie once and for all." Fred said.
"But first let's go recover the stolen musical objects." Daphne said.
The gang walked back to the Guitar Villains HQ, but the record and guitar were gone and what was there in its place were concert tickets.
"Jinkies these concert tickets are tonight for the Guitar Villain's Comeback Tour 'Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold'." Velma read.
"It says that it's going to happen at the Millennium Tower, the city's newest and largest tower!" Daphne read.
"C'mon gang we have to catch this bad guy before he plays his horrible music for the whole city to hear." Fred said.
"Wait." Velma said.
"What?" Fred said.
"I want in." Velma said.
The gang drove the Mystery Machine to the Millennium Tower, but now Velma was wearing the Super-Stition costume which made her look like a black cat.
"So far no sign of our Rockin' villain." Fred observed.
"What?" Velma said. "I can't hear anything through this itchy costume"
"There he is!" Daphne pointed as the Guitar Villain made his appearance on top of the tower.
"Hello Coolsville!" Greeted the Guitar Villain through his microphone. "Are you ready for a concert none of you will ever forget?"
A bunch of people cheered.
"C'mon gang let's go stop that crazy dude." Fred said. The gang ran to the base of the tower. "Grappling Hook!" Fred said as he shot his grappling hook to the top of the tower then tugged, but the string broke.
"Once again, costume prop." Velma said.
"We'll just take the elevator." Daphne said.
"The stairs are more heroic." Fred said.
The gang ran into the tower. Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma took the elevator while Fred took the stair. The 4 chilled in the elevator listening to music while Fred was getting extremely worn out. Eventually Fred made it to the top where the other four had just finished a four-course meal.
"Dessert sir?" Asked a butler to Shaggy.
"No thanks you Chives." Shaggy said as the butler bowed and then walked off.
"That was scrumptious." Daphne said, delighted.
"What?" Velma asked.
The Guitar Villain was playing his guitar with his back turned to the gang.
"Shaggy now!" Fred said.
BUUUUUURRRRRPPPPP!!!!!! Shaggy burped causing the Guitar Villain to lose his balance and almost drop his guitar. "Mmmm tasty." Shaggy grinned.
"You thought you kids could best the king of rock and roll!? Think again." He laughed as he played a song on his guitar. All of a sudden everyone began to dance uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" Shaggy asked.
"Groovy but not groovy all at once." Scooby said.
"What's happening?" Daphne said.
The crowd below was also dancing uncontrollably.
"My newest song takes control over whoever hears it and forces them to dance." The Guitar Villain laughed.
Velma wasn't dancing though, because she couldn't hear. Velma snuck up behind him and kicked him. He fell flat on his guitar breaking it in half and causing everyone to stop dancing.
"Boom! Yeah you just got Velma-styled SON! Wow that felt awesome." Velma grinned.
"You saved the day Velma!" Fred said.
"Call me Super-Stition." She said.
The police surrounded the Guitar Villain.
"So uhh you mystery solving kids dressed as superheroes to solve a super mystery." The police officer said. The rest began to laugh.
"I wouldn't be laughing officers, after all we always have to do your job for you." Velma sassed.
That shut the officers up.
"So who's been parading around as this superzero?" Asked the officer.
Daphne pulled off the mask. "Ned from the Comic Book Store?!" Everyone said in unison.
"Precisely. At first we thought that the Guitar Villain may have been someone who really wanted to steal the musical items like, Bass, Treble, or Melody." Velma explained.
"Hey I'm offended." Treble said popping out of nowhere.
"That statement better be amended!" Bass sang, holding the last note.
Everyone clapped approvingly.
"Anyway... We changed our minds when we found all of the IWF comic books in the Guitar Villain's HQ. It seems we were after a collector of comics, not of valuable musical objects." Velma explained.
"Ned used a hi-tech guitar he created himself to menace the city and become a true super villain." Fred explained.
"However he misstepped when he chose to be the Guitar Villain. He attacked Clark the day before the issue was to be sold, no ordinary comic-loving citizen of Coolsville would've been privy to that information, except a man who worked at the comic shop who could've peeked at the new shipments the night before." Daphne explained.
"But why would he go to all the trouble?" Asked the officer.
"Like, because he wanted to see real-live superheroes in action. He'd grown up reading about them but never actually saw one. That's when he devised the plan to become a villain, knowing that a hero would be nearby." Shaggy finished.
"Wow! Thanks Mystery Inc.! If it weren't for you guys my dream of meeting actual superheroes wouldn't have come true." Ned grinned as he was dragged away by the police.
"Wait to go team!" Fred congratulated.
"We should do this again!" Daphne cheered.
"Umm... I don't think so." Velma said.
"Scooby!" Scooby sung.
"Dooby!" Treble sung.
"Doo!" Bass sung.
The gang clapped approvingly.

So this girl was texting my friend (guy) a million times and he never replied back to a single text of hers. Do all guys do this is this a way to show a girl u aren't interested by not replying? Or do u still tell her to talk to u even if you don't want to text to her?
Or do guys reply even if you don't want to talk to her?
Most Helpful Girl
She needs to back off clearly he doesn't want to talk to her.
Even if he did the fact that your blowing up is phone is probably pissing him off.
Some guys tell you but you can just block people from texting you these days so you don't even have to tell them to stop00|00|0
What! Oh yea I forgot about that lol

I found this interesting blog post the other day and wanted to share it with everyone here to get their views.
The article argues that there are undisputable reasons IT needs to shift responsibilities to individual departments as a 'sign-of-the-times'.

For the people silly enough to try to implement that - good luck.
Everyone corporation I have worked for had people in management who considered "password broken" a legitimate help request.
So...when there is an issue with the ERP, databases, or Exchange server which department is going to deal with that?
License compliance? Back-ups? Server upgrades?
Yep - good luck.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:37 UTC
We can't get people to change their own print cartridges, so getting them to do anything above that will be a no-go. :(
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:39 UTC
This sounds like a recipe for death and tears.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:42 UTC
All valid points so far, my big fear is the Security side of it. HAving people able to do certain things, what will that do and what threas could it open.
I think it's a great way to make sure the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, and so on.

i agree. I don't know how people think that will work at all. The reason people are unhappy with alot of what we do now adays is because we either don't have a large enough budget to get the "capable" equipment or management makes us get software or something of the like that we don't want, but we have to implement and support it. So ya good luck to the departments and company that want to try that.
People just want more power in their hands without understanding how to use that power or what makes it tick.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:44 UTC
As I noted on the article on your other post...absolutely not!

Or to know the difference between a log off and a restart.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:45 UTC
We have successfully (for the most part) tricked our users into changing their own toner/ink cartridges. We even have a few of them changing transfer rollers and imaging drums on a few of our Dell printers (easy to do).
Beyond that though, I would certainly not want to have to figure out what someone else broke. Certainly not if management expects ME to fix it. Our gear, we'll fix it. Easier to focus maintenance and budget replacements when you know your gear.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:49 UTC
Honestly the article didn't make much sense to me. I get what they are saying, but implementing it and making sure it thrived would be something else.
LOL @ " Data centers are replaced with the cloud, the Apple store replaces the repair department"
1.) "Clouds" are IN or are of themselves datacenters.
2.) Ok, yeah, let me see that "repair bill" from the Apple store.
morons gonna moron.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:49 UTC
They may take the responsibility but in the end the IT dept (experts) will end up doing the needed work and maintenance so when something goes wrong we are the ones asked to take one for the team and stay late to fix their responsibility.
Keep control and make sure it is right, that is my approach!

Departments and users taking responsibility.....that is really funny....
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:51 UTC
I just don't see this happening. There are certain minor things that I would like individual departments to manage on their own, but I think that the idea of getting rid of corporate IT is not going to happen. The role of corporate IT may decrease over the years, but I just don't see it going away.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:53 UTC
This sounds like a recipe for death and tears.
Not necessarily in that order.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:53 UTC
I just feel sorry for the poor guy in each department who gets to be designated IT just because he has knows how to check his gmail.
The only way that article isn't crazy is if it's satire.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:54 UTC
Hmm, an outsourcing company posting a blog post telling people to outsource... This "thing" might sell to execs, but it is drivel.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:54 UTC
Hilarious. That article was a joke, right?
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:55 UTC
I could possibly see a really big company, you could split the helpdesk responsibility off, where a helpdesk admin in each department handles the basic tasks, but the interconnecting equipment (servers, network, etc) will always need centralized IT.
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:56 UTC
These ideas seem to pop up from time to time and frequently appear to have some stamp of "credibility" as part of the press release.
I don't know, but it smacks a lot of "I don't want to be IT but I want to play on the same field".
A bad road is a bad road, and always will be unless it becomes a good road. No road repair going on currently.
Sep 23, 2011 at 3:01 UTC
I think it sounds like a great idea. Just be sure someone else is the one that has the great idea to present to your management folks. Then after a few days of utter disaster you can step in like a hero, fix all the wreckage they have caused and get a pay raise in the process. After all look how much more valuable to the company you just became because of someone's brilliant ideas.

Petersen Health Care is an IT service provider.
In our company IT should renamed "Operations". We handle anything from cars to light bulbs to servers... Sometimes you have to be part farm boy too to get things done.
Sep 23, 2011 at 3:07 UTC
While it sounds like a great idea, I think that one key point is missing: People generally equate responsibility with their paycheck. Unless they are getting a raise they will not accept more accountability for a even a small portion of the daily dynamic role that is IT.
Moving to a decentralized IT structure is really only possible if the office culture will accept it & can do the work but even then there will be the ever-present pushback on anything that makes a person more accountable for their actions AND the actions of their peers.
If anyone thinks IT is the place to start eliminating levels of bureaucracy, they have overlooked the whole enterprise flow of work and sometime after I see C-level positions, VPs and managers disappear, I'll be willing to look at IT departments and say 'You're next'
Since that will not be happening in my life time (or anytime before we obtain the ability to travel at WARP 2.5), I'll chuckle at articles like this and get back to the work at hand.
Sep 23, 2011 at 3:08 UTC
interesting discussion. I see this a lot with ERP vendors. they think the combination of Line of business, head of department + c level + cloud = NO need to market/sell to the IT department. ( I disagree with this premise) but it's hard to convince them to include the IT department when a flash print ad in the economist is the way to go in their minds.
Sep 23, 2011 at 3:11 UTC
That was a good LOL

The following is an academic essay that I wrote about the recording industry. Rather than publishing it through peer-review journals, I decided to release it to everyone. Please have a look and let me know what you think. It is particularly important because of the newly proposed copyright law. What it shows is that the trade organizations such as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the International Federation of Phonographic Industries (IFPI) are very candid with regard to to the way they aim to change the industry. Please read and let's start a conversation about the impact of the proposed copyright law. Continue reading

Billboard Admits There's more to Industry than Album Sales
In a moment of clarity, Billboard admits that album sales don't tell the whole story of record label revenues. According to Billboard, "there's more to the story. Recorded music looks better when streaming gains are taken into account." As I've been arguing for a while, record labels earn revenue from a number of sources well beyond album sales. So the recent decline of albums and tracks is rather irrelevant when considering industry profits.
Billboard 200 Recalculated
More than a decade after the launch of the iTunes Music Store, parts of the recording industry are finally changing the way they calculate sales. Billboard changed the metrics it uses to calculate the Billboard 200. Rather than calculating only album sales, Billboard 200 will now use "track-equivalent albums" and "track-equivalent streams." This is the biggest change in the way that Billboard calculates this chart since the implementation of SoundScan in 1991, and it already appears to be every bit as monumental. Continue reading


text: Pay attention to serving sizes when looking up nutrition facts. Often times serving sizes are smaller than how much you'll actually eat or drink – like half a bottle of juice. Packaged foods are especially bad about having unrealistic serving sizes on them. Many packaged foods which are clearly designed to be eaten by one person in one sitting will show nutrition facts that say there are two or more servings in the package! So make sure you always check how many servings are in the package before you buy it or eat it to make sure you don't end up eating more calories than you wanted to.

Iginla has huge trade value. He won't get a poor return.
Consider this trade:
Loktionov, Ellerby and Tangradi for two 5ths and a 7th. Pick up some old THN Future Watch editions. All 3 of these guys were top prospects for their teams at one point.
Everyone overrates their prospects.
Boston or Pittsburgh look like likely destinations if a trade happens.
A trade like Despres, Bennett and 2013 1st is not an overpayment. It's the going rate for a player of Iggy's stature who can still play at a high level.
Add in that Feaster will tell any other GM that the magnitude of trading a franchise player absolutely plays into the dynamics of any deal.
As long as teams are not asked for franchise players i.e Iginla for Seguin, then you will see someone move good prospects for Iggy.

I'm a frequenter at ModTheSims, and I never use a single CC (I only use mods). It's been a few days since it was announced, but I guess it's worth noting that The Sims Resource is no longer a pay site. This news didn't go unnoticed at some Sims forums, maybe, but at least, not in MTS. Some things I heard from this news is that:
- You're no longer required to register to download the stuff there.
- You're no longer required to pay to download the featured creations.
- Purchasing the VIP membership will remove the ads, but that's just it.
It's a good move for a pay site to turn into a free one, I guess.
Read more at the site news.
Thanks to Dharden for providing the link.

Girl is in my college class, we were in group project together, she gave her number to group, we communicated about project over text, got to know her in person a little. Now group project is over, she didn't show up to class today and there is only one day of class left new week, the final exam, so I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to talk to her if she finishes the exam faster than I do, which leads me to my question, should I text her over the weekend even though we only texted about the project, and what should I say? Should I make small talk or could I ask her out to a movie or something? Would she be angry if I text Her about that? Please help, she is a nice and intelligent girl by the way.
Most Helpful Girl
Why would she be mad? If anything it's cute when a guy texts a girl, although I'd have to say... it is taking it out on a huge limb. Did you talk to her much during the project? What's do you think her attitude is towards you?
But considering you had a class with her, you guys have similar majors I'm assuming? Or was this for some stupid gen ed course? Any clubs she's in that you can join?
Yea, business majors, and no she's not involved in any she works so sometimes she has to skip days in class, and its already bad enough that the class only meets twice a week for a short amount of time. And there is only one day left the final, which I might not even be able to talk with her if she finishes her exam before me and leaves, then class is over for the semester, I just don't know what I would say since texting was only in reference to the project, I know i should've talked to her sooner but I can never get her by herself because she always was in a group with two other girls or wasn't at class that day cause of work, is there anything I can do or is pretty much a lost cause?
- Show AllShow Less
Hey no you can help me lol, I texted her and we hit it off well, she was laughing and her interest was very high she responded right away and everything but then I laid the question lightly of maybe going bowling with her or doing something fun, after that no texts, dead silence, I even have her 4 or 5 opportunities to reject me in the text but I can't even get a rejection as sad as that sounds, it's been a day already and I didn't see her in my class today, and today was the last day of class as well, I think she finished the final before me, should I wait 2 days and maybe give her a hey, I don't want to bother her you know :(, it's just killing me because I can't even get a rejection to ease my mind, usually girls text back your nice but I dont like you like that or sorry I have a boyfriend excuse but I got nothing and the text conversation was great and a little flirty, I didn't ask her to be my girlfriend or make out with me lol i just asked if she would like to bowl over the weekend but nothing.
We texted for 3 hours as well I couldn't have been that boring if that matters

GoPro Tips
If you want good audio results from your GoPro, remove it from the case and use an external microphone. Trying to record audio when the microphone is completely sealed in the housing doesn't work very well. Using "the frame mount" will allow you to mount your camera on a tripod, while still giving you access to the needed ports. On the Hero 3, you'll need a USB to microphone adapter – which cost 20 dollars… For Hero 2 owners, you have a dedicated audio port which allows you to plug in any 3.5mm microphone.
The overwhelming senses is that any cheap external microphone is a welcomed improvement over the standard internal microphone.
Here's an audio comparison test showing just that:
Start exploring the different field of view modes. The Hero 3 has (3) different options – Ultra Wide, Medium and Narrow. The Medium and Narrow FOV settings are great when filming subjects that are not action related, like interviews type situtions or what not. Long story short, the field of views modes available on GoPro's are incredible powerful and often go unused… So use them!
Here's a short FOV comparison video:
GoPro doesn't do a great job of explaining what resolutions are best used for what. It seems a lot of users just stick to 1080P because it's well known and associated with HD and quality. The truth is, the other resolutions have their place. If you're interested in learning more about them, check out this post on Understanding Your GoPro Settings.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - After scoring just nine points through the first two games of the regular season, first-year Bullitt East head coach Darrell Vincent said earlier this week that the team will spend more time on it's problems than worrying about this week's opponent - Fairdale.
Still stinging from a 28-0 loss to Jeffersontown that included eight fumbles, the Chargers are looking to correct little things instead of making major alterations.

Vermont troops have reportedly gone AWOL on masse in Montreal after discovering 3 a.m. closing hours, $10 lap dances, Schwartz' all-night smoked meat, and that iffy strip on St. Laurent and Ontario. Petitions have been circling to keep Quérmont a separate and independent nation. Rumours have it the national dish will be maple-syrup covered poutine. Molson breweries reports a sharp increase of sales, mostly due to a shortage of rubbing alcohol.

Until now we have served hundreds of artists and upcoming businesses in promoting their profile and music. You also can reach out to targeted and non-targeted listeners and fans easily if you choose to buy ReverbNation promotion services from Express promoter.
We never use any unethical means to increase number of fans and plays on your ReverbNation profile or other social media sites. ReverbNation website authority is also very strict in this regard so there is no room for foul play. Therefore, opting for Express Promoter will be a wise, productive and completely safe decision.

Lecture capture
This provides students with a rewind button for instruction. It also helps with different schedules and hospital home bound students. I love that this gives students a choice when they learn. It can also help students who might need the information repeated over and over again. This can be a great tool if used correctly. I also think that different types of lecture capture software should be used so that this doesn't become boring. I would also consider different types of media to share lecture examples could be a thinglink, educanon, and blendspace could be used.
